It's 4:22 this Friday afternoon.

0:00:030:00:05

You're live with me, Martin, for the next five minutes.

0:00:050:00:07

Coming up on Newsround:

0:00:070:00:10

Come on, City!

0:00:100:00:12

The only British side left in the Champions League.

0:00:120:00:17

And happy birthday to Her Majesty the Queen!

0:00:170:00:21

First to France, where there are extra police

0:00:300:00:32

on the streets today, trying to make sure people are safe.

0:00:320:00:35

It's after police officers were attacked

0:00:350:00:36

in the capital, Paris, last night.

0:00:360:00:38

One policeman died in the shooting.

0:00:380:00:40

People have been leaving flowers to pay tribute today.

0:00:400:00:43

It's a really important weekend in France,

0:00:430:00:46

because an election is taking place to find a new president.

0:00:460:00:49

If you want to know more about the presidential

0:00:490:00:52

elections in France, go online to read our guide,

0:00:520:00:54

and to find advice on what to do if anything in the news upsets you.

0:00:540:01:00

Back here, there have been events in London to mark

0:01:000:01:03

the Queen's 91st birthday today,

0:01:030:01:07

including this band of guards at Buckingham Palace.

0:01:070:01:09

This photo from 1926 has also been shared.

0:01:090:01:12

It shows Queen Elizabeth as a one-month-old baby,

0:01:120:01:15

being held by her parents at her christening.

0:01:150:01:18

Well, did you know that today

0:01:180:01:20

is actually the first of Her Majesty's two birthdays?

0:01:200:01:23

Go to Newsround online now to find out why.

0:01:230:01:27

Hoping to be queen of gymnastics later today is Ellie Downie.

0:01:270:01:30

At the European Gymnastics Championships in Romania,

0:01:300:01:33

the 17-year-old's made it into ever individual final.

0:01:330:01:37

That's something no other British gymnast has achieved before

0:01:370:01:40

at an international competition.

0:01:400:01:43

Ellie says she's put in some of her best performances,

0:01:430:01:46

and judging by that, I think I'd agree!

0:01:460:01:50

Staying with European competitions, the draw for the semifinals

0:01:500:01:53

of the Champions League and Europa League

0:01:530:01:55

took place earlier today.

0:01:550:01:57

Manchester United have been drawn

0:01:570:02:00

against Spanish side Celta Vigo in the Europa League.

0:02:000:02:02

Man United are the only British men's side

0:02:020:02:04

left in a European competition.

0:02:040:02:06

The big news from the Champions League draw

0:02:060:02:09

is that last year's finalists, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid,

0:02:090:02:11

will face each other again in the semis.

0:02:110:02:14

It's the fourth year in a row

0:02:140:02:16

they'll play each other in the competition.

0:02:160:02:19

Sticking with the Champions League,

0:02:190:02:21

and there's only one British footy team left now -

0:02:210:02:23

Manchester City Women.

0:02:230:02:25

They're taking on French side Lyon tomorrow

0:02:250:02:27

in the first of two semifinal matches.

0:02:270:02:29

Whitney went to meet one of the club's biggest stars

0:02:290:02:32

and the youth academy players.

0:02:320:02:34

I support Man City.

0:02:340:02:37

My favourite players are Carli Lloyd and Toni Duggan.

0:02:370:02:41

I think Lucy Bronze will score the first goal.

0:02:410:02:45

I think Man City will score three to four goals in the match.

0:02:450:02:48

I love football, because it entertains many people.

0:02:480:02:53

Oh! Thanks, guys, nearly missed that one.

0:02:530:02:58

Izzy, big match on Saturday, how are you feeling?

0:02:580:03:00

Excited! It's going to be amazing, really.

0:03:000:03:02

I mean, Champions League semifinal, it's what dreams are made of.

0:03:020:03:04

Definitely - I want to say congratulations,

0:03:040:03:06

the only UK team in the semifinals.

0:03:060:03:08

You started off at a young age,

0:03:080:03:09

what advice would you give to young children that want to be you?

0:03:090:03:12

Definitely enjoy it.

0:03:120:03:14

When I was younger, I used to just kick the ball round in the streets

0:03:140:03:18

until my mum and dad told me to come in for my tea.

0:03:180:03:21

Like these girls are doing today, it's all part of enjoying it

0:03:210:03:24

and having fun and making friends.

0:03:240:03:25

I played with my brother and his friends,

0:03:250:03:27

so I was pretty lucky to grow up in a community

0:03:270:03:30

where the boys embraced my talents as a female footballer,

0:03:300:03:32

and I think the more of that that happens, the better,

0:03:320:03:35

cos I think there's real benefits from young girls playing with boys.

0:03:350:03:37

And how do you feel about being a role model?

0:03:370:03:40

We had an FA Cup semifinal on Monday,

0:03:400:03:42

we had 3500 people in the stadium, maybe 3000 of them were young girls

0:03:420:03:45

who were obviously aspiring to be like us when there little bit older,

0:03:450:03:48

and it's an amazing feeling for us, knowing that we're inspiring them.

0:03:480:03:52

Come on, City!

0:03:520:03:55

Thanks, girls!

0:03:550:03:57

Another big sporting event taking place this weekend

0:03:570:03:59

is the London Marathon, with around 40,000 runners

0:03:590:04:02

doing 26.2 miles across the capital on Sunday.

0:04:020:04:06

We want your good-luck messages for the runners.

0:04:060:04:09

Go to Newsround online now to send them in,

0:04:090:04:11

and we'll try and read them out over the weekend.

0:04:110:04:14

While you're there, you can also have a go

0:04:140:04:17

at our brand-new quiz of the week, which includes bees and Brighton.

0:04:170:04:20

and check out this week's edition of Strange, Stranger, Strangest.

0:04:200:04:25

Find out why one artist spent three weeks sitting on eggs.

0:04:250:04:29

And here's one egg-cellent story to finish with!

0:04:290:04:32

This is the moment when a Russian cosmonaut

0:04:320:04:34

and an American astronaut arrived safely

0:04:340:04:37

on the International Space Station.

0:04:370:04:39

They're going to be spending the next six months up there,

0:04:390:04:42

so it's quite right that the first thing they did

0:04:420:04:44

was make a telephone call home to their families.

0:04:440:04:47

That's all from me, Newsround's back on CBBC
