Hello, I'm Hayley and here's a very musical

0:00:040:00:06

Sunday lunchtime bulletin for you.

0:00:060:00:10

The boy wonder who is wowing the world of jazz.

0:00:120:00:15

And it's Pixie Come Dancing, as Strictly returns to

0:00:150:00:18

our screens tonight!

0:00:180:00:20

This is Newsround.

0:00:200:00:21

In the past few minutes, Britain's greatest ever distance runner, Mo

0:00:270:00:41

confident race in sunny conditions.

0:00:410:00:46

his former training partner Mike Keegan of Kenya by just one second

0:00:460:00:50

in the sprint for the finish line.

0:00:500:00:53

He finished in one hour one second, a new personal best.

0:00:530:00:59

The Great North Run is a half-marathon race that takes

0:00:590:01:01

place each year in Newcastle and Gateshead.

0:01:010:01:03

Nearly 60,000 runners are running the 13.1 mile course today,

0:01:030:01:07

many of them raising lots of money for charities.

0:01:070:01:10

And this year the race will see its millionth runner in

0:01:100:01:13

its history cross the finish line.

0:01:130:01:16

Now you might have read on our website about the family who met

0:01:160:01:19

President Barack Obama at Stonehenge in Wiltshire on Friday, and had

0:01:190:01:22

a cheeky selfie with the big man.

0:01:220:01:24

Well, the mum, Janice is running today, dressed as a bee of course,

0:01:240:01:28

and she's been talking about her extraordinary weekend.

0:01:280:01:33

Barack Obama did happen to photobomb us, we were doing a nice family

0:01:330:01:37

photo on our nice family walk this weekend, on Friday, actually.

0:01:370:01:40

We heard he was there so we took the opportunity to make

0:01:400:01:43

our way across the field and hopefully get the chance to wave

0:01:430:01:47

at him is all we were thinking.

0:01:470:01:48

Whether we actually believed he was there, and then all of a sudden he

0:01:480:01:52

was waving at us and we were walking together and it was just like having

0:01:520:01:55

a chat over a garden fence, really.

0:01:550:01:58

Get your sequins at the ready, dance fans, because

0:01:580:02:01

Strictly Come Dancing shimmies its way back onto our screens tonight.

0:02:010:02:05

The celeb-packed line-up this year includes Pixie Lott, Scott Mills

0:02:050:02:09

and Deadly 60's Steve Backshall, who told us that even after all

0:02:090:02:12

the deadly creatures he's faced, this is his biggest challenge yet.

0:02:120:02:20

driven by challenges and by things that frighten me.

0:02:200:02:23

And I've been working with snakes and sharks and spiders and mountains

0:02:230:02:27

and things for 15 years now.

0:02:270:02:30

This is something completely new and very, very frightening, and for that

0:02:300:02:33

reason I'm very excited about it.

0:02:330:02:34

Do you know what?

0:02:340:02:36

I had my first costume fitting the other day, and they got out all

0:02:360:02:39

of the sheer shirts and the Lycra and the sequins and stuff.

0:02:390:02:43

And for 15 minutes, all I could do whenever I caught sight of myself

0:02:430:02:47

in the mirror was just giggle.

0:02:470:02:49

Just like a schoolboy.

0:02:490:02:50

I'd just see myself and start chuckling!

0:02:500:02:54

I can hardly wait and you've been getting in touch on the website too.

0:02:540:02:58

Lauren's so glad that Strictly is back.

0:02:580:03:00

She's been watching it since she was young, and she's looking

0:03:000:03:02

forward to watching this series.

0:03:020:03:04

She wants Pixie Lott to win!

0:03:040:03:06

Oskar says, I am so exited for Steve Backshall

0:03:060:03:08

and Gregg Wallace, because I love Deadly Pole to Pole and Masterchef.

0:03:080:03:12

But he also says he's quite sad to see Brucie go.

0:03:120:03:16

And Keira is from the same home town as Judy Murray,

0:03:160:03:19

Dunblane, and thinks she will win.

0:03:190:03:22

Thanks so much for all those comments, keep them coming in!

0:03:220:03:27

In just under an hour, Britain's Lewis Hamilton starts

0:03:270:03:29

in pole position in the Italian Grand Prix, which sees the

0:03:290:03:32

massive rivalry continue with his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

0:03:320:03:36

The two drivers are battling it out at the top of

0:03:360:03:39

the Formula One world championship, and with just a few races left,

0:03:390:03:43

Rosberg's ahead on points.

0:03:430:03:45

But Hamilton pulled off a blistering qualifying lap yesterday to start

0:03:450:03:58

It's not only me that's been having a difficult time,

0:03:580:04:01

it's the guys who've been building my car and the guys back at

0:04:010:04:05

the factory, who built the parts.

0:04:050:04:06

They're just dying to have those results and the guys are staying

0:04:060:04:11

so positive through the whole experience and so I'm sure that

0:04:110:04:13

they'll be happy with this one.

0:04:130:04:17

For the first time in almost a decade, the US Open

0:04:170:04:19

tennis final won't have a Federer, a Nadal or a Djokovic in it.

0:04:190:04:24

Yesterday Djokovic lost to Japan's Kay Nishikori,

0:04:240:04:27

while the mighty Federer was knocked out by Croatia's Marin Chilich.

0:04:270:04:31

And Britain's Jordanne Whiley, and partner Yui Kamiji, won the

0:04:310:04:35

US Open wheelchair women's doubles.

0:04:350:04:38

She's the first Brit to achieve the grand slam, all four major

0:04:380:04:42

titles in the same season.

0:04:420:04:45

Let me introduce you to Jose.

0:04:450:04:47

He's wowing audiences across South America with his amazing jazz music,

0:04:470:04:51

but he's only nine and he's blind!

0:04:510:04:55

He may not look like your typical rock star, but nine-year-old Jose is

0:04:570:04:59

a rising star not only in his playground but in the whole

0:04:590:05:03

of Bolivia, South America.

0:05:030:05:06

He started playing music when he was four, and by the time he was five,

0:05:060:05:09

he formed his own jazz band.

0:05:090:05:11

Now Jose regularly performs to audiences of thousands of people

0:05:110:05:15

and more.

0:05:150:05:15

TRANSLATION:

0:05:150:05:18

TRANSLATION: I've already been to Brazil

0:05:180:05:21

and to Lima.

0:05:210:05:22

I'm also playing in other places such as La Paz,

0:05:220:05:25

Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.

0:05:250:05:28

I'm already famous because I travel a lot.

0:05:280:05:31

Many people say he's got more musical talent than musicians

0:05:310:05:37

three times his age.

0:05:370:05:39

And recently, he impressed audiences at a big music festival.

0:05:390:05:43

The fact that Jose is blind only makes his playing more impressive,

0:05:430:05:47

and Jose hopes to take his talents further afield

0:05:470:05:49

for the rest of the world to see.

0:05:490:05:53

That's all for now.

0:05:530:05:55

We're back just before 2pm.

0:05:550:05:56

We'll bring you the latest from the Great North Run,

0:05:560:05:59

and we'll have live pictures from the Italian Grand Prix!

0:05:590:06:01

See you later.
