Hello, I'm Ricky. It's Friday afternoon. This is Newsround. A | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
minute of silence has been held across Spain. Members of the | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Barcelona football team and thousands in the country stood still | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
to remember the people who lost their lives. It is after two | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
attacked in and around the city of Barcelona yesterday. A van was | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
driven at people on a busy street in Barcelona, and 13 people died. In | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
another incident, in a nearby town, one person died in a similar attack. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Leaders around the world have spoken to say they support the Spanish | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
people, and flags above important buildings in the UK have been | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
lowered to show their respect. If you want to know more about what | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
happened in Barcelona, go to Newsround online, where we have the | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
full story. You can also find out advice about what to do if you're | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
upset by anything you hear in the news. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Next, how do you get to the North Pole? How about by boat? One team | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
wants to show how much sea ice has melted there by being the first team | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
ever to sail to the North Pole. They are heading from Alaska in the | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
United States all the way to the North Pole. | :01:25. | :01:25. | |
These yachts are trying to do something no other yacht has ever | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
-- done before - sail to the North Pole. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
It's a route only a special icebreaker ship has been | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
able to take in the past, but a crew of ten, led by explorer Pen Hadow | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
and his dog, have just left Alaska in America. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Possibly for the first time in 130,000 years, it is now | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
possible to sail ships into this sea area, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
and this means that the | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
wildlife living in the area are now vulnerable. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
They have a 3500-mile journey ahead of them. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
For years, temperatures in the Arctic have been | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
In 35 years, more than a third of the | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
sea ice in the area has gone, opening up routes that fishermen | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Pen has seen the change in the Arctic over | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
He went on foot but because so much of the ice had melted, he | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
The team don't know how far they'll get, but it is hoped this journey | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
will draw attention to the melting polar ice caps. | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
Now, millions of people around the world are getting ready and excited | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
about Monday's solar eclipse. Parts of America will see a total eclipse, | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
when the sun is completely blocked by the moon, and a group of UK | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Scouts will be travelling to get the best view possible. | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
They're off on a camping trip, but this | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
We're going to America to see the solar | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
eclipse at the Yellowstone National Park. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
The boys are on their way, making a mammoth journey all the way | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
from the UK to Yellowstone National Park in the USA, where they'll be | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
able to witness this incredible moment first-hand. | :03:14. | :03:14. | |
I'm excited for the solar eclipse, to see it, and to | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
I'm feeling really excited to go and see it. | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
It's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. | :03:26. | :03:38. | |
Now, have you ever seen a flamingo wearing shoes? It is not a trick | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
question - look at this. He was born two | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
and a half months ago after keepers found | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
an abandoned egg. He's being looked after at this | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
special research Centre in Today, he's trying | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
on a pair of shoes. That's because the concrete | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
surface around the centre And Squish needs daily | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
walks to keep fit. The shoes protect him until he's | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
old enough to join the And if you're wondering, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
why is this flamingo grey? It takes two years | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
for them to turn pink. The colour comes | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
from their shrimp diet. Important news, Minecraft. If you | :04:30. | :04:48. | |

You only have a few days. That's all from me and the team. We'll be back | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
here tomorrow morning. Goodbye. My favourite TV show | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
is The Dumping Ground, because all of them | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
are always up to mischief. There's always a very dramatic | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
moment in there, | :05:08. | :05:11. |
