We're live on CBBC with all of Sunday's big stories.

0:00:030:00:06

Coming your way, find out why British cyclist Chris Froome

0:00:060:00:10

could make history today.

0:00:100:00:13

And we bring you the week's weirdest stories.

0:00:130:00:16

First, Mo Farah was in action last night, winning the 5,000m

0:00:250:00:29

at the Anniversary Games in London.

0:00:290:00:30

This is Mo's last race before he jets off to the Rio Olympics.

0:00:310:00:35

Mo said running on the same track where he won two gold medals

0:00:350:00:39

at the London Olympics brought back lots of memories.

0:00:390:00:44

It's amazing.

0:00:440:00:46

I got amazing support from the crowd.

0:00:460:00:48

I just wanted to go for it.

0:00:480:00:50

This was my last chance to run quick before Rio.

0:00:500:00:53

This track has so much meaning for me.

0:00:530:00:56

You dream of the Olympics but to do it in your hometown is amazing.

0:00:560:01:02

Elsewhere, Katarina Johnson-Thompson added a personal best in the

0:01:020:01:07

long jump, winning the competition with a jump of 6.84 metres.

0:01:070:01:11

Fellow Brit Shara Proctor came in second,

0:01:110:01:14

with Jessica Ennis-Hill finishing seventh.

0:01:140:01:17

Shelayna Oskan-Clarke was victorious in the women's 800m.

0:01:170:01:21

Next, British cyclist Chris Froome is set to make history today

0:01:210:01:25

when he wins the Tour de France for a third time.

0:01:250:01:28

He will be the first Briton to achieve the feat and Chris said

0:01:280:01:31

the last stretch in Paris is likely to be emotional.

0:01:310:01:36

Now to the extraordinary traffic jam causing big problems

0:01:360:01:39

at the Port of Dover in the south-east of England.

0:01:390:01:42

Thousands of vehicles were caught up in delays of up to 14 hours

0:01:420:01:46

trying to get to the port.

0:01:460:01:48

Families have spent the night in their cars and police are warning

0:01:480:01:52

that the disruption could last for another day.

0:01:520:01:55

Officials are blaming the huge queues on lots of people trying

0:01:550:01:59

to get away on holiday and stricter security checks.

0:01:590:02:03

He's one of Britain's greatest adventurers.

0:02:030:02:06

And Sir Ranulph Fiennes is attempting

0:02:060:02:09

a new record-breaking challenge for charity.

0:02:090:02:12

Ayshah caught up with him to find out what he's up to.

0:02:120:02:15

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest

0:02:150:02:18

modern-day explorers.

0:02:180:02:19

He has spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions

0:02:190:02:23

and death-defying challenges.

0:02:230:02:25

He's even conquered Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain.

0:02:250:02:29

But there's still one quest for the 72-year-old to complete.

0:02:290:02:33

The challenge is to cross Antarctica, which is bigger

0:02:330:02:37

than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean, which is floating

0:02:370:02:41

ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole, and to climb

0:02:410:02:45

the tallest mountain on every continent in the world

0:02:450:02:50

and there are seven continents.

0:02:500:02:53

Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles

0:02:530:02:56

and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.

0:02:560:03:00

In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak of four more

0:03:000:03:03

mountains.

0:03:030:03:05

Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,

0:03:050:03:07

Mount Aconcagua in South America, and finally the dangerous

0:03:070:03:13

Mount Denali in North America.

0:03:130:03:16

What we want to do is to raise big money by doing it.

0:03:160:03:23

The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation.

0:03:230:03:31

Charity, science and breaking world records before the Norwegians

0:03:310:03:35

are three of the reasons why we keep going.

0:03:350:03:39

But even after achieving so much, there's one person that Sir Ranulph

0:03:390:03:43

can't seem to impress.

0:03:430:03:45

My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet.

0:03:450:03:50

That is what she wants.

0:03:500:03:53

But she's not at all interested in a daddy that goes away

0:03:530:03:56

and does funny things in funny places.

0:03:560:03:59

Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye

0:03:590:04:03

on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge.

0:04:030:04:08

It's that time of the week when we look at all of the weirdest

0:04:080:04:12

news from the past seven days.

0:04:120:04:14

Take it away, Leah.

0:04:140:04:19

It's fast, it's furious, well not really.

0:04:190:04:23

But some say it's thrilling.

0:04:230:04:25

It's the World Snail Racing Championships.

0:04:250:04:27

More than 200 competitors slid to Norfolk to take part,

0:04:270:04:30

including U-slime Bolt.

0:04:300:04:33

Got it?

0:04:330:04:34

This year's winner was Herbie, who was brought from a garden

0:04:340:04:37

in Cambridgeshire and a silver cup filled with lettuce was his prize.

0:04:370:04:42

This woman wants to be a swan.

0:04:440:04:47

Well, she wants to fly with them at least.

0:04:470:04:49

Sacha Dench is going to tag along as they migrate from Russia

0:04:490:04:52

to the UK, using a motor propelled parachute.

0:04:520:04:56

But it's not just for fun.

0:04:560:04:58

She hopes it will help her find out why their numbers are swan diving.

0:04:580:05:03

This restaurant is a pile of poo, quite literally.

0:05:060:05:09

A toilet-themed restaurant has opened in Indonesia

0:05:090:05:13

where you sit on the loo and eat out of toilet pans.

0:05:130:05:16

Gross!

0:05:160:05:18

It's part of a campaign to encourage the use of clean toilets.

0:05:180:05:21

Will it work? We'll just have to wait and W.C.

0:05:210:05:26

Finally, a plane powered only by the sun has taken off

0:05:280:05:32

on the last leg of its historic round the world flight.

0:05:320:05:35

The plane, called Solar Impulse 2, took off over a year ago and last

0:05:350:05:39

night left Cairo to travel back to Abu Dhabi where it all began.

0:05:390:05:43

So far it has travelled 22,000 miles without using a drop of fuel

0:05:430:05:47

except the power from the sun.

0:05:470:05:51

That's all from me.

0:05:510:05:52

Newsround's back right here at about 2.15pm.

0:05:520:05:55

Bye.
