Good morning, I'm Jenny, it's Friday, and this is what's

0:00:050:00:07

coming up on Newsround.

0:00:070:00:11

The scientists hoping to shine some light on black holes.

0:00:110:00:14

And the dolphins having a whale of a time in south Africa.

0:00:140:00:18

First up to the goalkeeper who has just become the most

0:00:270:00:29

expensive in British history.

0:00:290:00:31

Jordan Pickford has left Sunderland, who were relegated last season,

0:00:310:00:33

to join Everton for a fee that could rise to ?30 million.

0:00:330:00:36

We'll get to see Pickford in action when he plays for England Under-21's

0:00:360:00:41

in this summer's European Championships.

0:00:410:00:46

Now, when it come to space, black holes are pretty mysterious things.

0:00:460:00:49

But a group of scientists in China have just launched a special

0:00:490:00:52

telescope which is aiming to shed a little light on the subject.

0:00:520:00:58

Meet the Insight telescope, China's first x-ray telescope, which they've

0:00:580:01:00

just launched into space.

0:01:000:01:04

Its job will be to search for black holes and help scientists

0:01:040:01:07

understand them better.

0:01:070:01:09

Black holes are pretty elusive characters,

0:01:090:01:12

and are usually invisible to regular space telescopes.

0:01:120:01:15

This is because they suck in all the light which is nearby

0:01:150:01:18

to them with their super strong gravitational pull.

0:01:180:01:21

However, the new Insight telescope has a bit of a trick up its sleeve.

0:01:210:01:24

When objects like stars get sucked into a black hole,

0:01:240:01:26

they heat up and give out x-rays.

0:01:260:01:29

These are then picked up by the Insight telescope and sent

0:01:290:01:33

back to the scientists here on Earth.

0:01:330:01:36

Researchers are hoping it will help them to learn more about how

0:01:360:01:39

the black holes behave and tell them about other object in our galaxy.

0:01:390:01:43

Pretty cool.

0:01:430:01:49

This is one of the most famous paintings in

0:01:490:01:51

the world - the Mona Lisa.

0:01:510:01:53

But you've never seen her looking like this...

0:01:530:01:56

A Spanish street artist has created a mega-mural of the painting that's

0:01:560:01:59

over 50 metres tall on the side of a building in Paris.

0:01:590:02:01

The artist says he wanted a new version for the whole world.

0:02:010:02:09

Do you miss X Factor or The Voice?

0:02:090:02:12

They might not be on at the moment, but a brand new singing show

0:02:120:02:15

starts on Saturday night.

0:02:150:02:18

30 choirs and singing groups will be battling it out

0:02:180:02:21

for a big prize of ?50,000, over six episodes.

0:02:210:02:23

Take a look at this.

0:02:230:02:28

This is Pitch Battle!

0:02:280:02:31

Expect colourful costumes, cool dance moves, and

0:02:310:02:32

some amazing vocals.

0:02:320:02:37

So, let's find out what Pitch Battle is all about.

0:02:370:02:40

# Makes me feel this way!

0:02:400:02:43

It is vocal groups, amazing vocal groups,

0:02:430:02:49

very varied vocal groups, from Gospel choirs to a cappella,

0:02:490:02:52

competing, basically, to be crowned the best vocal group

0:02:520:02:56

of Pitch Battle.

0:02:560:02:59

Mel Giedroyc will be joined by judges choirmaster Gareth Malone

0:02:590:03:02

and American singer Kelis, so get your voices ready

0:03:020:03:05

to sing along this weekend.

0:03:050:03:12

Next up, these pelicans look pretty happy but it was a different story

0:03:120:03:15

a couple of months ago.

0:03:150:03:16

Here's Hayley to explain why.

0:03:160:03:18

Hundreds of pelicans have been seriously poorly due to a poisonous

0:03:180:03:21

algae that's been growing far too rapidly in the waters

0:03:210:03:24

where they live.

0:03:240:03:27

While small amount of this algae are fine, the pelicans have big

0:03:270:03:30

appetite and too much of the green stuff can make them ill.

0:03:300:03:34

When this toxin builds up, gets in the fish,

0:03:340:03:37

doesn't hurt the fish.

0:03:370:03:38

Get in the barnacle, doesn't hurt the barnacle.

0:03:380:03:40

But when things in turn eat those critters, like our seagulls,

0:03:400:03:42

like our pelicans, like our loons, when they eat these critters

0:03:420:03:45

they can concentrate that material so much inside them they get sick.

0:03:450:03:53

After eating this stuff the pelicans find it difficult to swim or fly,

0:03:530:03:56

and have to receive help from local wildlife reserves, where they nurse

0:03:560:03:59

the birds back to health.

0:03:590:04:05

When the algae has vanished from the water and the birds'

0:04:050:04:08

tummies are better, the vets get to take the pelicans

0:04:080:04:11

to the beach and release them back into the water.

0:04:110:04:13

It's the best part of my job, releasing pelicans.

0:04:130:04:15

You see them in the pool, and they look like they're doing OK,

0:04:150:04:18

but once you bring them out here you see how happy

0:04:180:04:21

they are to be out back in the wild, and the best thing is when they jump

0:04:210:04:25

out of the crate so fast they kick sand up in your face!

0:04:250:04:28

Back up on their feet and with better tummies,

0:04:280:04:31

the pelicans are just happy to fly free back to the water

0:04:310:04:33

that they call home.

0:04:330:04:39

Finally, check out these playful dolphins off

0:04:390:04:41

the coast of South Africa.

0:04:410:04:42

Drone footage caught the pod jumping in the waves for over eight hours.

0:04:420:04:46

The dolphins were kicking back after the area where they live had

0:04:460:04:49

been hit by big storms recently.

0:04:490:04:51

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

0:04:510:04:58

Brand-new Matilda And The Ramsay Bunch is coming up next... Yeah.

0:05:080:05:11
