Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Friday, this is Newsround and here's what's

And can a world drumming record be broken for BBC Music day?

First, BBC Music Day took place yesterday,

with more than 800 live events taking place across the UK.

It was all to celebrate 'the power of music' for all ages,

I went to Portsmouth, where some of you guys were trying

16 schools, 860 drummers, one challenge. To break the world record

for the largest djembe drum ensemble. Here in Portsmouth, this

is what these guys are about to try to do. I think we can break the

record because we have been a leading up to this moment and we are

going to dominate it. And even if we don't break the world record, I'm

still excited to be here with my friends. The difficulty in this

record attempt is that everyone needs to stay synchronised. Each

participant must play their individual drum during the entire

attempt, and none of the instruments can be shared. You must keep

drumming for the full five minutes. And they were off. The record they

have to beat is five minutes. 406 to seven drives. Come on, guys. So they

have just finished drumming and the plan is now to head outside and that

is where they will find out if they have officially broken the world

record. It gives me great pleasure to present Portsmouth music hub with

the Guinness world record title for the largest djembe drum ensemble.

Congratulations. Mission Complete. Meet the new djembe drumming world

record holders. I feel absolutely amazed. It is a very prestigious

thing. It is a very rare thing as well. I have been inspired to

achieve anything if I set my mind to it and really try. The trickiest

part was probably learning all the symbols and the timing. It has

inspired me now and I really want to do more.

If you're scared of heights, you might want to look away now.

This is Erendira Wallenda and she has just broken the world

record for the highest suspension over Niagra Falls

between Canada and the United States.

She dangled about one hundred metres above the water

She did have a rope tether to keep her safe but she didn't have

Obviously, this isn't one to try at home!

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

Hundreds of pelicans have been seriously poorly due to a poisonous

algae that has been growing far too rapidly in the waters where they

live. While small amounts of this algae are fine, the pelicans have

big appetites and too much of the green stuff can make them ill. When

this toxin builds up, it gets in the little fish but does not heard the

fish. In the barnacles, it does not hurt the barnacles, but when things

like pelicans and seagulls eat those critters, they can concentrate that

material so much inside of them that they get sick. After reading this

stuff, the pelicans find it difficult to swim or fly and have to

receive help from local wildlife preserves. The nurse the birds back

to health. When the birds are better, the vets get to take the

pelicans to the beach and release them back into the water. It is the

best part of my job. Releasing pelicans, you see them in the pool

and they look like they are doing OK but once you bring them out here you

see how happy they are to be back in the wild and the best thing is when

they jump out of the crate so fast that it kicks sand up in your face.

Back on their feet and with better tummies, the pelicans are just happy

to fly free back into the water that they call home.

Next, check out these playful dolphins off

Drone footage caught the pod jumping in the waves

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

Finally, this has had everyone at Newsround HQ oohing and ahhing.

This is one of four four-day-old baby hedgehogs that

are currently being looked after at the Wiltshire

Because they are so tiny they require a lot of special care.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here tomorrow.

Yo, whassup? Do you watch CBBC shows on your phone or tablet?
