Hi, guys.

Ricky here with your big stories this Friday.

Here's what's' coming up.

What it's like to be a Red Arrow.

And Jo Konta waves goodbye to Wimbeldon

First up, Wimbledon, and Britiain's number oneJohanna

Konta is out of the competition.

Ayshah's in London now to tell us what happened.

Hi, Ricky.

Yes that's right - she'd got further in the competition

than any other British female for almost forty years,

by reaching the semi finals.

She went into the match yesterday as the favourite

against Venus Williams but it wasn't enough to get her through.

Here's what happened.

A huge ovation for Jo Konta and her first Wimbledon semi-final.

Hopes were sky high for Johanna Konta, but this was the moment her

Wimbledon journey ended.

There it is.

She was playing against American Venus Williams,

who has won this competition five times in the past, so it was never

going to be an easy match.

What a serve.

Venus' powerful serve and years of experience of performing

at the top level proved too much for Konta.

She lost the first set and after that never managed

to get back in the game.

And there's the first blow to Venus Williams.

Well, the credit as to go to Venus and the way

she was able to play today.

I don't think I did too much wrong.

She really did just dictate the match from the very

beginning till the very end.

So I had few chances to get a good foothold in the match and again,

when I did have those chances, she did very well to take them away

from me, so all credit to her.

Although she didn't win, she has proved she is amongst

the world's rest and we're pretty sure this won't be the last

we see of Johanna Konta.

So disappointment, but there's plenty more

action here at Wimbledon - later today is the men's

semi-finals and I'll be right back here at 8.15am.

This is a vital time for butterflies according to nature expert

Sir David Attenborough.

Scientists say there are fewer and fewer of some

of the UK's most common types.

But the good news is 2017 looks like bieng a good year

But the good news is 2017 looks like being a good year

and Mr Attenborough wants people to help the group Butterfly

Conservation by taking part in a big butterfly count this summer.

Next up, she's big, blue and a bit boney.

The Natural History Museum in London has a new star resident.

Jenny's been investigating.

Ah, Dippy.

You might have spotted him on a school trip.

The diplodicus has been the rock star of the Natural History Museum

for nearly 40 years.

But, now, it's out with old and in with the blue.

Meet Hope, the Balaenoptera musculus, better known

as a blue whale.

It's the largest animal on Earth.

Weighing up to 200 tonnes, that's almost 30 African elephants.

And measuring in at a lengthy 30 metres, or two double-decker

buses, if you prefer.

The lower jawbone is the largest single bone to be grown by any

organism on the planet.

And they can live to well over 100 years.

That's a whaley long time.

Blue whales were hunted almost to extinction in the 1900s.

But were also one of the first species humans decided to save.

So, by introducing Hope, the museum once visitors to think

more about protecting animals, not just their history.

Look at the size of the space.

We wanted to have something large and impressive and hopefully

Hope is that for us.

She will inspire people and she is gorgeous.

It's taken the team months to put together Hope's 221 bones.

They had to use special technology like 3-D printing

and work with teams of engineers and conservationists.

But, don't worry if you missed Dippy, he's set for his first-ever

UK tour to visit the fans early next year.

It's the Royal International Air Tattoo this weekend,

which marks the 70th anniversary of the United States Air Force.

And take a look at this - this is what it's like to fly

inside one of the famous Red Arrows planes.

They and their American counterparts, the Thunderbirds,

have been getting some practise in ahead of their big show.

Football now, and Wayne Rooney has already made a bit of an impact

at his hometown club.

He only re-signed for Everton on Sunday but has already

scored his first goal - this brilliant long range

effort on his debut during their pre-season

tour of Tanzania.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

It's Friday and we are only moments away from brand-new Matilda

And The Ramsey Bunch and it's the sporting event of the summer.
