Good morning, Ayshah here with Friday's stories.

0:00:110:00:13

First, it's one of the biggest competitions for future writers.

0:00:130:00:16

The winners of the BBC's 500 Words are being announced this morning.

0:00:160:00:19

It gives children the chance to come up with fantastic short stories -

0:00:190:00:20

and Ricky's been to meet the judges, including DJ Chris Evans

0:00:220:00:25

and the Duchess of Cornwall.

0:00:250:00:29

So, it's just gone 9:30.

0:00:310:00:33

Chris Evans has just come off air on BBC Radio Two.

0:00:330:00:35

And that's because there's a very special guest, who is on her way.

0:00:350:00:39

She should be here in the next couple of minutes.

0:00:390:00:43

It's the Duchess of Cornwall.

0:00:430:00:44

And she's here to help Chris pick the 500 Words winners -

0:00:440:00:47

a short story competition that's for children.

0:00:470:00:51

So, the judges now will get together.

0:00:510:00:53

Go to a room on the third floor. Yeah.

0:00:530:00:55

And we have the Duchess as our head judge this year.

0:00:550:00:58

She'll sort out any argy-bargy. Do you think?

0:00:580:01:00

She'll have to, yeah, that's the deal!

0:01:000:01:02

We've got a time limit of one hour for each category.

0:01:020:01:05

We'll get down to the final three and award the gold,

0:01:050:01:07

silver and bronze.

0:01:070:01:08

And those guys will find it who they are at the Globe Theatre

0:01:080:01:11

during the final.

0:01:110:01:14

Did any make you cry this year? Oh, one did.

0:01:140:01:21

Out of more than 120,000 entries, they've been whittled down to 50.

0:01:210:01:24

And these judges, including the Duchess, will go through them

0:01:240:01:26

and decide the winners.

0:01:260:01:28

I thought they were lighter, funnier and more colourful this year.

0:01:280:01:31

The best final we've ever had, considering how good

0:01:310:01:33

last year's final was, at St James's Palace.

0:01:330:01:35

So, it's going to be a very, very special day.

0:01:350:01:40

This morning, all 50 finalists are the Globe Theatre

0:01:400:01:42

in London, where the winners are being announced.

0:01:420:01:49

Up on the International Space Station, astronauts trying

0:01:520:01:54

to inflate a new space home have hit a bit of a snag.

0:01:540:01:58

The inflatable pod didn't seem to want to blow up properly.

0:01:580:02:01

It's meant to be part of a two year experiment to provide astronauts

0:02:010:02:04

with a comfortable place to live and work.

0:02:040:02:06

Another attempt will be made today.

0:02:060:02:08

Back on Earth, something else that's taking a while to sort out

0:02:080:02:11

is Jose Mourinho going to Manchester United.

0:02:110:02:13

The former Chelsea boss has now agreed a deal

0:02:130:02:15

to take over the top job at Old Trafford,

0:02:150:02:18

although he's not signed anything yet.

0:02:180:02:20

The club's expected to make an announcement later today.

0:02:200:02:26

Next - to some of football's future stars.

0:02:260:02:28

Match Of The Day Kickabout has a special show tomorrow morning

0:02:280:02:30

0:02:300:02:32

0:04:190:04:20

The Britain's Got Talent semi-finals are over -

0:04:200:04:22

0:04:220:04:26

Craig Ball! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:04:260:04:30

Yes, the singing impressionist topped the public vote to make

Saturday's Grand Final.

0:04:330:04:36

He was later joined by fellow singer Jasmine Elcock,

0:04:360:04:38

who won the judges' vote. Craig had this to say...

0:04:380:04:40

Thanks so much for your support. It's been unbelievable.
