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

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

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,
