:00:13. > :00:14.Hi, I'm Ayshah, it's Friday morning and this is Newsround.
:00:15. > :00:18.First today, Lionel Messi and the Barcelona football team have
:00:19. > :00:21.given their sympathy with the people of Spain.
:00:22. > :00:23.This is after an attack in the city of Barcelona yesterday evening.
:00:24. > :00:29.A van was driven at people on a busy street and 13 people have died.
:00:30. > :00:32.Police were on the scene very quickly to help keep people safe.
:00:33. > :00:35.Leaders from around the world have spoken to say they support
:00:36. > :00:39.the Spanish people and will do what they can to help.
:00:40. > :00:42.If you want to know more about happened in Barcelona then
:00:43. > :00:45.go to Newsround online where we have the full story.
:00:46. > :00:48.That's also where you can find advice on what to do
:00:49. > :00:55.Next, its time to talk about a big row over Big Ben's famous chime,
:00:56. > :00:57.it's going to be silent for a while and not
:00:58. > :01:12...because you might not hear the dongs of Big Ben
:01:13. > :01:16.That's because there's a row over some repair work
:01:17. > :01:19.It's supposed to stop ringing on Monday for four years,
:01:20. > :01:22.except for special occasions, to protect the hearing of the people
:01:23. > :01:25.But not everyone was happy about the plan,
:01:26. > :01:29.Of course we want to ensure people's safety at work,
:01:30. > :01:33.but it can't be right for Big Ben to be silent for four years.
:01:34. > :01:36.Now the plans are a bit up in the air while politicians
:01:37. > :01:41.So while we've got a bit of time, here's all the things you might not
:01:42. > :01:48.Most people know Big Ben as the clock tower that's attached
:01:49. > :01:51.the Palace of Westminster, which is where Parliament sits.
:01:52. > :01:55.But actually, Big Ben is the name of the giant bell inside it.
:01:56. > :02:00.The clock tower used to be called the, erm, Clock Tower,
:02:01. > :02:04.but it was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of the Queen's
:02:05. > :02:12.No-one knows exactly why it's called Big Ben.
:02:13. > :02:14.One idea is that was named after Sir Benjamin Hall,
:02:15. > :02:16.a politician who was around when it was built.
:02:17. > :02:20.But others think it could be named after a boxer called Ben Caunt.
:02:21. > :02:24.Big Ben doesn't swing like normal bells -
:02:25. > :02:27.instead, it's fixed and struck by a hammer from outside.
:02:28. > :02:34.The BBC first broadcast Big Ben's chimes to mark the New Year in 1923.
:02:35. > :02:40.The clock has seen every New Year since, apart from in 1962,
:02:41. > :02:50.Last week, he won gold at the World Championships
:02:51. > :02:55.in London, his relay team beating Usain Bolt's Jamaica and the USA.
:02:56. > :03:00.I'm delighted to welcome Adam Gemili to Newsround this morning.
:03:01. > :03:04.Before we have a chat, shall we take a look back
:03:05. > :03:07.at that the race where you became a world champion?
:03:08. > :03:14.And any outside Japan are having a good run.

:03:53. > :03:57.you became a wild champion, tell me how you are feeling in that moment?
:03:58. > :04:03.It was crazy to become world champion, it's something you dream
:04:04. > :04:06.of. The fact I got to do it with three of my mates was brilliance,
:04:07. > :04:14.and we got to share that with 60,000 in the stadium. There's no better
:04:15. > :04:18.feeling. At imagine that would be absolutely fantastic. What did you
:04:19. > :04:23.do to celebrate afterwards? We didn't do that much to celebrate, we
:04:24. > :04:27.got in on quite late after getting through all the media and press
:04:28. > :04:33.conferences, we had some food and a early night, because we had an early
:04:34. > :04:39.start the next morning. That's a shame, but I hope you're going to
:04:40. > :04:43.make up for it? Yeah, when we stop racing, we will celebrate properly.
:04:44. > :04:48.You don't have to be world champion it to get involved, I know you are
:04:49. > :04:56.working on something to get everyone involved now? We are encouraging
:04:57. > :04:58.park runs all across the country, there will be athletes like myself
:04:59. > :05:05.there to support everyone who turns up. It's our way of saying thank you
:05:06. > :05:08.for the support from the national lottery. We'll be the ones who
:05:09. > :05:15.finished last, cinnamon has anything to worry about. I could probably
:05:16. > :05:17.join in then! It has been a pleasure to have you on the show, thank you.
:05:18. > :05:20.Next up, millions of people around the world are getting excited
:05:21. > :05:23.Parts of America will see a total eclipse -
:05:24. > :05:25.that's where the sun is completely blocked by the moon.
:05:26. > :05:28.And one group of UK scouts is travelling to get
