Hello, I'm Ayshah with Sunday's Newsround

and here's what's going on today.

Ready, set, go.

The London Marathon is underway.

And a whole Shakespeare play in two minutes, easy, right?

But first big news for Doctor Who fans.

The new companion has been revealed.

Pearl Mackie will be taking over from current sidekick Jenna Coleman

whose character left the show last year.

Today is London Marathon day.

Astronaut Tim Peake kicked off the public race

from the International Space Station.

The Marathon's first winner was Switzerland's Marcel Hug,

who won the men's wheelchair race.

Soon after, American Tatyana McFadden came out on top

in the women's wheelchair race.

And the women's race has just been won by Jemima Sumgong from Kenya.

We asked you guys to send us your good luck messages

for people taking part in the marathon, and you

haven't disappointed!

Macy is wishing good luck to her teachers

Mrs Davies and Mr Hunter.

Amelia is cheering on her best friend's mum Gloria.

She says she's been training for ages and hopes she does well!

And Finn's PE teacher, Mrs Williams, is doing the marathon

and he wishes her all the luck in the world!

It's also a big weekend for William Shakespeare fans.

It's 400 years since the death of the country's best

known playwright.

Here's author Michael Rosen to bring one of his most

famous tragedies to life.

What would you dare to do, what would you risk to become rich and

powerful?

Imagine some kind of fantasy kingdom, you are a brave,

famous soldier who meet some people who you believe can see into the

future.

Double double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron

bubble.

The witches tell you that you are going to be the king but how

is that possible?

There is already a king.

But just imagine to be the king, all that power, all that

money, imagine living in a castle.

Well, the fantasy kingdom is called Scotland and the king is

King Duncan, you are Macbeth.

Your wife is Lady Macbeth and she wants you

to be the king, there is no point in hanging about,

try harder, she says.

But Macbeth is worried, he is worried that if he kills

the king, there will be chaos and disaster

across the whole country and then he sees a dagger,

it appears before his eyes.

Is this a dagger I see before me?

The handle toward my hand.

In the middle of the night, Macbeth does kill

the king, he blames the

drunken guards and Macbeth is named King of Scotland.

The witches told Macbeth not only that

he would be king but they told him things that made him think that he's

invincible, they told him that he wouldn't be killed,

there would be no end in till Burnham Woods moves

but would stone to move.

-- woods don't move.

He's safe, he's invincible.

but all is not well.

In Macbeth's mind, everyone is a threat.

He starts to see ghosts.

The Kingdom begins to fall apart, there is chaos everywhere.

Alas, poor country, almost afraid to know

itself.

An army marches towards Macbeth but he can't be killed by

anyone, a woman born, and will Burnham Wood move?

Of course not, so Macbeth is safe.

Or is he?

Or is he?

Will Macbeth get away with it?

See the play, see the film to find out.

Next, you need knowledge, enthusiasm and a passion for sport

to be a superstar radio commentator.

Jenny's been finding out how you could get

yourself on the airwaves.

Takes the shot.

Rooney, what a goal!

The Manchester United number ten does it again.

Have you ever listened to sport commentators and thought,

'I could do that?' Well, now could be your chance.

BBC Radio 5 Live want to search the country for a brand

new star.

It's open to anyone aged 11 to 15.

All you have to do is record yourself commentating on one

of five key sporting moments.

The challenge of commentating is to convey the excitement and drama of

a great sporting moment.

When you know the person who is listening

can't see any of it.

What I want to hear is someone who has got that

natural enthusiasm, someone who knows

what they are talking about

and also what I want is a little bit of the person.

Three, two, one!

Action!

Throwing on the right side here...

These students from Warrington are having a go.

Look at that.

Absolutely astonishing.

It was quite exciting to be honest, I've never done

anything like this before.

I found it really nervewracking.

It's not easy thinking of things off the top

of your head.

I've learned how to approach it, like what sort of

knowledge you need.

You never know, the next person to pick up a mic

like this could be you.

The FA Cup semifinal would have been a fun one to commentate on!

Man United beat Everton 2-1 after a tense match, which even

included a Man U own goal.

But Anthony Marshial was the hero getting this injury time winner.

The next semi final kicks off at 3pm this afternoon,

seeing Crystal Palace take on Watford.

That's all from me, I'll be back after 2.15.
