Ricky here, with your last Newsround of the weekend.

0:00:040:00:07

On the way...

0:00:070:00:14

The solar plane on its way into the record books.

0:00:140:00:16

And we bring you the week's weirdest stories.

0:00:160:00:22

First up, the Mobot was back in action last night.

0:00:270:00:30

He ran the fastest 5,000 metres of 2016 to storm to victory

0:00:300:00:33

at the Anniversary Games in London.

0:00:330:00:35

It was Mo's last race before he jets off to the Rio Olympics.

0:00:350:00:42

Mo dominated on the same track where he won 5,000 metres and 10,000

0:00:420:00:45

metres Olympic Gold in 2012.

0:00:450:00:46

He said the win brought back good memories.

0:00:460:00:48

It's amazing.

0:00:480:00:49

I got amazing support from the crowd.

0:00:490:00:51

I just wanted to go for it.

0:00:510:00:52

This was my last chance to run quick before Rio.

0:00:520:00:55

This track has so much meaning for me.

0:00:550:00:58

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

0:00:580:01:05

Now, to the big traffic jam causing big problems at the Port of Dover

0:01:050:01:08

in south east England.

0:01:080:01:09

Thousands of vehicles are caught up in delays of up to ten hours

0:01:090:01:13

trying to get to the port.

0:01:130:01:15

Many families had to sleep in their cars overnight

0:01:150:01:17

after getting stuck in the traffic.

0:01:170:01:20

Police are warning that the terrible disruption, which started on Friday,

0:01:200:01:23

could last until tomorrow.

0:01:230:01:25

Officials are blaming the queues on lots of people trying

0:01:250:01:27

to get away on holiday and stricter security checks.

0:01:270:01:32

Formula One's Hungarian Grand Prix is under way with Lewis Hamilton

0:01:320:01:35

looking to win this race for a record fifth time.

0:01:350:01:38

The world champion made the perfect start taking the lead

0:01:380:01:41

from his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg on the first lap.

0:01:410:01:45

If Hamilton wins the race, he'll also take the lead

0:01:450:01:48

in the drivers' championship, moving ahead of Rosberg.

0:01:480:01:53

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

0:01:530:01:56

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

0:01:560:01:59

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

0:01:590:02:03

the last stretch in Paris is likely to be emotional.

0:02:030:02:08

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest adventurers.

0:02:080:02:10

Now he's attempting a new record-breaking challenge,

0:02:100:02:13

as Ayshah's been finding out.

0:02:130:02:17

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest

0:02:170:02:19

modern-day explorers.

0:02:190:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:25

and death-defying challenges.

0:02:250:02:27

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

0:02:270:02:32

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

0:02:320:02:36

The challenge is to cross Antarctica, which is bigger

0:02:360:02:41

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

0:02:410:02:44

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

0:02:440:02:49

the tallest mountain on every continent in the world

0:02:490:02:53

and there are seven continents.

0:02:530:02:56

Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles

0:02:560:02:59

and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.

0:02:590:03:03

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

0:03:030:03:05

of four more mountains.

0:03:050:03:07

Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,

0:03:070:03:12

Mount Aconcagua in South America, and finally the dangerous

0:03:120:03:17

Mount Denali in North America.

0:03:170:03:21

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

0:03:210:03:27

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

0:03:270:03:34

Charity, science and breaking world records before the Norwegians

0:03:340:03:39

are three of the reasons why we keep going.

0:03:390:03:42

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

0:03:420:03:46

can't seem to impress.

0:03:460:03:49

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

0:03:490:03:54

That is what she wants.

0:03:540:03:56

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

0:03:560:03:59

and does funny things in funny places.

0:03:590:04:02

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

0:04:020:04:05

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

0:04:050:04:13

A plane powered only by the sun has taken off

0:04:130:04:15

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

0:04:150:04:18

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

0:04:180:04:22

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

0:04:220:04:26

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

0:04:260:04:31

except the power from the sun.

0:04:310:04:35

Last up, it's time for the weirdest news of the week.

0:04:350:04:37

Here's Leah.

0:04:370:04:41

It's fast, it's furious.

0:04:410:04:43

Well, not really.

0:04:430:04:45

But some say it's thrilling.

0:04:450:04:47

It's the World Snail Racing Championships.

0:04:470:04:50

More than 200 competitors slid to Norfolk to take part,

0:04:500:04:53

including U-slime Bolt.

0:04:530:04:56

Got it?

0:04:560:04:58

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

0:04:580:05:00

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

0:05:000:05:05

This woman wants to be a swan.

0:05:070:05:09

Well, she wants to fly with them at least.

0:05:090:05:12

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

0:05:120:05:15

to the UK, using a motor-propelled parachute.

0:05:150:05:19

But it's not just for fun.

0:05:190:05:21

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

0:05:210:05:26

This restaurant is a pile of poo, quite literally.

0:05:290:05:32

A toilet-themed restaurant has opened in Indonesia

0:05:320:05:36

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

0:05:360:05:40

Gross!

0:05:400:05:42

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

0:05:420:05:45

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

0:05:450:05:52

That's all from me.

0:05:520:05:54

Newsround's back tomorrow morning with Ayshah.

0:05:540:05:56

Bye.
