0:00:16 > 0:00:22And we bring you the week's weirdest stories.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30First up, the Mobot was back in action last night.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33He ran the fastest 5,000 metres of 2016 to storm to victory

0:00:33 > 0:00:35at the Anniversary Games in London.

0:00:35 > 0:00:42It was Mo's last race before he jets off to the Rio Olympics.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Mo dominated on the same track where he won 5,000 metres and 10,000

0:00:45 > 0:00:46metres Olympic Gold in 2012.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48He said the win brought back good memories.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49It's amazing.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51I got amazing support from the crowd.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52I just wanted to go for it.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55This was my last chance to run quick before Rio.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58This track has so much meaning for me.

0:00:58 > 0:01:05You dream of the Olympics but to do it in your hometown is amazing.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Now, to the big traffic jam causing big problems at the Port of Dover

0:01:08 > 0:01:09in south east England.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Thousands of vehicles are caught up in delays of up to ten hours

0:01:13 > 0:01:15trying to get to the port.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Many families had to sleep in their cars overnight

0:01:17 > 0:01:20after getting stuck in the traffic.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Police are warning that the terrible disruption, which started on Friday,

0:01:23 > 0:01:25could last until tomorrow.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Officials are blaming the queues on lots of people trying

0:01:27 > 0:01:32to get away on holiday and stricter security checks.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Formula One's Hungarian Grand Prix is under way with Lewis Hamilton

0:01:35 > 0:01:38looking to win this race for a record fifth time.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41The world champion made the perfect start taking the lead

0:01:41 > 0:01:45from his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg on the first lap.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48If Hamilton wins the race, he'll also take the lead

0:01:48 > 0:01:53in the drivers' championship, moving ahead of Rosberg.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Next, British cyclist Chris Froome is set to make history today

0:01:56 > 0:01:59when he wins the Tour de France for a third time.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03He will be the first Briton to achieve the feat and Chris said

0:02:03 > 0:02:08the last stretch in Paris is likely to be emotional.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest adventurers.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now he's attempting a new record-breaking challenge,

0:02:13 > 0:02:17as Ayshah's been finding out.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest

0:02:19 > 0:02:21modern-day explorers.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25He has spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions

0:02:25 > 0:02:27and death-defying challenges.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32He's even conquered Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36But there's still one quest for the 72-year-old to complete.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41The challenge is to cross Antarctica, which is bigger

0:02:41 > 0:02:44than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean, which is floating

0:02:44 > 0:02:49ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole, and to climb

0:02:49 > 0:02:53the tallest mountain on every continent in the world

0:02:53 > 0:02:56and there are seven continents.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles

0:02:59 > 0:03:03and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak

0:03:05 > 0:03:07of four more mountains.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,

0:03:12 > 0:03:17Mount Aconcagua in South America, and finally the dangerous

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Mount Denali in North America.

0:03:21 > 0:03:27What we want to do is to raise big money by doing it.

0:03:27 > 0:03:34The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation.

0:03:34 > 0:03:39Charity, science and breaking world records before the Norwegians

0:03:39 > 0:03:42are three of the reasons why we keep going.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46But even after achieving so much, there's one person that Sir Ranulph

0:03:46 > 0:03:49can't seem to impress.

0:03:49 > 0:03:54My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56That is what she wants.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59But she's not at all interested in a daddy that goes away

0:03:59 > 0:04:02and does funny things in funny places.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye

0:04:05 > 0:04:13on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15A plane powered only by the sun has taken off

0:04:15 > 0:04:18on the last leg of its historic round the world flight.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22The plane, called Solar Impulse two, took off over a year ago and last

0:04:22 > 0:04:26night left Cairo to travel back to Abu Dhabi where it all began.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31So the far it has travelled 22,000 miles without using a drop of fuel

0:04:31 > 0:04:35except the power from the sun.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Last up, it's time for the weirdest news of the week.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Here's Leah.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's fast, it's furious.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Well, not really.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47But some say it's thrilling.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50It's the World Snail Racing Championships.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53More than 200 competitors slid to Norfolk to take part,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56including U-slime Bolt.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Got it?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00This year's winner was Herbie, who was brought from a garden

0:05:00 > 0:05:05in Cambridgeshire and a silver cup filled with lettuce was his prize.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09This woman wants to be a swan.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, she wants to fly with them at least.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Sacha Dench is going to tag along as they migrate from Russia

0:05:15 > 0:05:19to the UK, using a motor-propelled parachute.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21But it's not just for fun.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26She hopes it will help her find out why their numbers are swan diving.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32This restaurant is a pile of poo, quite literally.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36A toilet-themed restaurant has opened in Indonesia

0:05:36 > 0:05:40where you sit on the loo and eat out of toilet pans.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Gross!

0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's part of a campaign to encourage the use of clean toilets.

0:05:45 > 0:05:52Will it work? We'll just have to wait and W.C.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54That's all from me.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Newsround's back tomorrow morning with Ayshah.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Bye.
