Morning, I'm Martin with your Friday Newsround.

0:00:040:00:07

Keep watching for some of this.

0:00:070:00:09

Murray prepares for his seventh Wimbledon semi-final.

0:00:090:00:13

And France are through to the final of the European Championships.

0:00:130:00:19

First up to the news that the next Prime Minister of the UK will be

0:00:270:00:31

one of these two women.

0:00:310:00:33

David Cameron said he is standing down from the job in the Autumn

0:00:330:00:36

so now the Conservative Party need to choose a new leader.

0:00:360:00:39

Here's BBC political reporter Chris Mason with more.

0:00:390:00:45

The big news here is what we now know is the next leader

0:00:450:00:47

of our government, who takes loads of decisions that affect our

0:00:470:00:51

lives, will be a woman.

0:00:510:00:54

You might think, what's the big deal about that because there are loads

0:00:540:00:57

of women who are really important in your life already.

0:00:570:01:04

Teachers, carers, mum, grandma.

0:01:040:01:06

But, actually, in hundreds and hundreds of years,

0:01:060:01:07

we've only actually had one woman by Minister,

0:01:070:01:09

a lady called Margaret Thatcher.

0:01:090:01:11

And yet, by the time you go back to school,

0:01:110:01:13

after the summer holidays, we'll have another woman

0:01:130:01:15

Prime Minister, so it's a big moment in our history.

0:01:150:01:22

So, who could it be?

0:01:220:01:24

One of the candidates is Theresa May.

0:01:240:01:27

She's already done a really big job in the government,

0:01:270:01:29

doing a job called Home Secretary.

0:01:290:01:31

Her dad used to be a vicar.

0:01:310:01:33

She's married, doesn't have any children and is a really big

0:01:330:01:35

fan of cooking.

0:01:350:01:36

She's got 100 cookbooks and likes watching Masterchef on the telly.

0:01:360:01:39

The person who also wants the job and hopes to beat her

0:01:390:01:42

is called Andrea Leadsom.

0:01:420:01:44

She's also worked for the government but in less important jobs.

0:01:440:01:47

She's married, she has three children, her youngest

0:01:470:01:49

is a 12-year-old girl, and on a Sunday, she

0:01:490:01:52

likes to go to church.

0:01:520:01:55

And to find out more about the candidates for PM,

0:01:550:01:57

go to our guide online.

0:01:570:02:00

Last year, more than 3000 children arrived in the UK by themselves.

0:02:000:02:03

Many of them immigrants or refugees escaping war or devastation

0:02:030:02:06

in their home countries.

0:02:060:02:09

They often travel thousands of miles to get here across deserts,

0:02:090:02:12

mountains and seas.

0:02:120:02:14

Newsround has spoken to one girl called Ruth who left her home

0:02:140:02:17

of Eritrea when she was 14 and spent six months walking

0:02:170:02:20

and staying in camps on her journey to reach the UK.

0:02:200:02:24

We've changed her name and in this animation her words

0:02:240:02:28

are being spoken by someone else.

0:02:280:02:31

My home in Eritrea is in a small village.

0:02:310:02:33

There was no water or no school.

0:02:330:02:37

So I had to walk two hours to get to school.

0:02:370:02:39

I would get the water and I would chop the wood.

0:02:390:02:42

Life was hard in Eritrea.

0:02:420:02:43

Very hard.

0:02:430:02:45

Especially for a girl.

0:02:450:02:47

I had two choices.

0:02:470:02:49

Marry or go into the military.

0:02:490:02:51

So I had to leave.

0:02:510:02:53

I took nothing with me.

0:02:530:02:55

Just my clothes I was wearing.

0:02:550:02:57

I couldn't say goodbye to my family because I knew my mum would cry.

0:02:570:03:03

You can watch this online now and find out much more information

0:03:030:03:06

about Ruth and other kids just like her.

0:03:060:03:08

Or come back at 8.15 to watch her story in full.

0:03:080:03:11

Footy next and France have beaten World Champions Germany

0:03:110:03:14

in the semi-final of the European Championships and will

0:03:140:03:17

play Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the final on Sunday.

0:03:170:03:26

Despite Germany dominating in the first half, a handball

0:03:260:03:28

from Bastian Schweinsteiger in the penalty box

0:03:280:03:30

gave France a penalty.

0:03:300:03:31

And Antoine Griezmann converted.

0:03:310:03:32

Under intense pressure in the second half, Griezmann settled it

0:03:320:03:35

for the French with 18 minutes left.

0:03:350:03:37

It's their first victory over Germany in a major tournament

0:03:370:03:41

since 1958 but the tournament's top scorer is keeping his

0:03:410:03:45

feet on the ground.

0:03:450:03:48

We are very happy but there is still one match to go.

0:03:480:03:51

The dream would be to celebrate that on Sunday.

0:03:510:03:54

So there is still one match to play.

0:03:540:03:57

We keep our feet on the ground and enjoy tonight.

0:03:570:04:02

From tomorrow, we will get some rest and prepare for the final.

0:04:020:04:07

We are very happy for the public during and after the match.

0:04:070:04:10

It was a beautiful thing, so let's hope we can do

0:04:100:04:13

the same in the final.

0:04:130:04:14

Tennis star Serena Williams is through to her ninth

0:04:140:04:16

Wimbledon final.

0:04:160:04:17

She thrashed Russia's Elena Vesnina 6-2 6-0 yesterday afternoon.

0:04:170:04:19

But she won't be playing her big sister Venus in the final,

0:04:190:04:22

after she lost her match to Angelique Kerber.

0:04:220:04:27

It's weird.

0:04:270:04:28

I can't believe I'm in the finals again.

0:04:280:04:38

Obviously, I'm 0 for two so I'm determined to get

0:04:390:04:42

at least one this year.

0:04:420:04:43

Kerber will be another good match.

0:04:430:04:44

I played her in Australia, so I'm looking forward to it.

0:04:440:04:47

Andy Murray is preparing to play his seventh Wimbledon

0:04:470:04:49

semi-final this afternoon.

0:04:490:04:50

Murray faces Czech player Tomas Berdych.

0:04:500:04:51

Although he's beaten him in their last four meetings,

0:04:510:04:53

Murray says he's not taking anything for granted.

0:04:530:04:56

That's all from me.

0:04:560:05:01
