:00:00. > :00:08.Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Friday, this is Newsround and here's what's

:00:09. > :00:28.And can a world drumming record be broken for BBC Music day?

:00:29. > :00:31.First, BBC Music Day took place yesterday,

:00:32. > :00:33.with more than 800 live events taking place across the UK.

:00:34. > :00:37.It was all to celebrate 'the power of music' for all ages,

:00:38. > :00:40.I went to Portsmouth, where some of you guys were trying

:00:41. > :00:58.16 schools, 860 drummers, one challenge. To break the world record

:00:59. > :01:01.for the largest djembe drum ensemble. Here in Portsmouth, this

:01:02. > :01:05.is what these guys are about to try to do. I think we can break the

:01:06. > :01:09.record because we have been a leading up to this moment and we are

:01:10. > :01:13.going to dominate it. And even if we don't break the world record, I'm

:01:14. > :01:19.still excited to be here with my friends. The difficulty in this

:01:20. > :01:23.record attempt is that everyone needs to stay synchronised. Each

:01:24. > :01:27.participant must play their individual drum during the entire

:01:28. > :01:31.attempt, and none of the instruments can be shared. You must keep

:01:32. > :01:36.drumming for the full five minutes. And they were off. The record they

:01:37. > :01:43.have to beat is five minutes. 406 to seven drives. Come on, guys. So they

:01:44. > :01:47.have just finished drumming and the plan is now to head outside and that

:01:48. > :01:50.is where they will find out if they have officially broken the world

:01:51. > :01:56.record. It gives me great pleasure to present Portsmouth music hub with

:01:57. > :02:03.the Guinness world record title for the largest djembe drum ensemble.

:02:04. > :02:10.Congratulations. Mission Complete. Meet the new djembe drumming world

:02:11. > :02:16.record holders. I feel absolutely amazed. It is a very prestigious

:02:17. > :02:20.thing. It is a very rare thing as well. I have been inspired to

:02:21. > :02:27.achieve anything if I set my mind to it and really try. The trickiest

:02:28. > :02:30.part was probably learning all the symbols and the timing. It has

:02:31. > :02:33.inspired me now and I really want to do more.

:02:34. > :02:36.If you're scared of heights, you might want to look away now.

:02:37. > :02:39.This is Erendira Wallenda and she has just broken the world

:02:40. > :02:49.record for the highest suspension over Niagra Falls

:02:50. > :02:51.between Canada and the United States.

:02:52. > :02:53.She dangled about one hundred metres above the water

:02:54. > :02:57.She did have a rope tether to keep her safe but she didn't have

:02:58. > :03:00.Obviously, this isn't one to try at home!

:03:01. > :03:03.Next up these pelicans look pretty happy but it was a different story

:03:04. > :03:10.Hundreds of pelicans have been seriously poorly due to a poisonous

:03:11. > :03:14.algae that has been growing far too rapidly in the waters where they

:03:15. > :03:17.live. While small amounts of this algae are fine, the pelicans have

:03:18. > :03:22.big appetites and too much of the green stuff can make them ill. When

:03:23. > :03:27.this toxin builds up, it gets in the little fish but does not heard the

:03:28. > :03:32.fish. In the barnacles, it does not hurt the barnacles, but when things

:03:33. > :03:35.like pelicans and seagulls eat those critters, they can concentrate that

:03:36. > :03:39.material so much inside of them that they get sick. After reading this

:03:40. > :03:42.stuff, the pelicans find it difficult to swim or fly and have to

:03:43. > :03:50.receive help from local wildlife preserves. The nurse the birds back

:03:51. > :03:53.to health. When the birds are better, the vets get to take the

:03:54. > :04:00.pelicans to the beach and release them back into the water. It is the

:04:01. > :04:03.best part of my job. Releasing pelicans, you see them in the pool

:04:04. > :04:07.and they look like they are doing OK but once you bring them out here you

:04:08. > :04:11.see how happy they are to be back in the wild and the best thing is when

:04:12. > :04:15.they jump out of the crate so fast that it kicks sand up in your face.

:04:16. > :04:18.Back on their feet and with better tummies, the pelicans are just happy

:04:19. > :04:22.to fly free back into the water that they call home.

:04:23. > :04:23.Next, check out these playful dolphins off

:04:24. > :04:27.Drone footage caught the pod jumping in the waves

:04:28. > :04:32.The dolphins were kicking back after the area where they live had

:04:33. > :04:38.Finally, this has had everyone at Newsround HQ oohing and ahhing.

:04:39. > :04:42.This is one of four four-day-old baby hedgehogs that

:04:43. > :04:44.are currently being looked after at the Wiltshire

:04:45. > :04:50.Because they are so tiny they require a lot of special care.

:04:51. > :04:56.That's all from me, Newsround's back right here tomorrow.

:04:57. > :05:08.Yo, whassup? Do you watch CBBC shows on your phone or tablet?
