Good morning, it's Thursday, I'm Jenny and this is Newsround.

Don't go anywhere!

Coming up, Birmingham gets the perfect new arrival.

And wakeboarders in Germany hit some unusual spots.

With Wimbledon starting in just a few days, let's begin with a bit

of sport this morning.

World number one Andy Murray has been named as the top seed in

the men's competition for Wimbledon.

That means he's the favourite to win.

It would be his third title at the All-England club.

In the women's competition, British number one Jo Konta

is the sixth seed.

The 19-time world and Olympic champion Usain Bolt made his first

appearance of the season in Europe last night, in the Czech

city of Ostrava.

And the Jamaican world record holder won in the 100 metres.

Course he did!

He's getting ready for the World Championships

in London in August, after which he'll retire.

I'm just getting into my running now from training, but I'll be fine.

When I get checked out by my doctor, the coach

give me some training, I

should be fine, so I'm in no worries.

Next up, just before last Christmas, we told you about some very special

penguins that travelled to a new home in Birmingham.

Well, now there's been another new arrival.

This cutie.

Here's Hayley.

A baby penguin chick cuddles up to his mum and dad at

the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham.

They might look pretty chilled out, but his parents took an

epic journey to get here.

This group of gentoo penguins used to live in

places like Denmark, Canada and New Zealand,

but they were moved to their new

home in Birmingham as part a worldwide breeding programme.

home in Birmingham as part of a worldwide breeding programme.

It wasn't an easy journey.

The penguins had to be moved across the world in a

special van to keep them cool.

Well, that was last year, and now, this little cutie is the first baby

born to the group.

Keepers are hoping for some brothers and sisters to

keep this furry family growing.

Fatbergs!

The super gross collections of fat that join together,

and clog up our sewers.

"Eugh," I hear you say!

Well, now they've gone from yuck to useful,

and are being turned into something a lot more valuable.

Watch this.

Deep below our feet in the sewers underground, something nasty lurks.

When people pour fat and grease from cooking down the drain, the fat

clumps together to create massive horrible fatbergs.

Some fatbergs are huge and creates big problems,

costing water companies a lot of money to clear away.

That's about four feet deep down there.

But now, this sewer sludge is about to be

changed into something really valuable.

A fuel company is going around sucking up the fatbergs.

They are then taken to a special processing plant, where they can be

turned into a type of car fuel called bio diesel.

So we've collected a fatberg from a water

company sewer.

The vehicle has travelled down, he's come to site, he's now

tipping.

There's a lot of solid in this one, so actually he's using the

tipping truck to tip that in there.

This is where we receive all those raw materials to turn into biofuel.

The fat gets heated, pumped and filtered,

removing all the sludge and slime.

So we've removed all of the solids, all of the liquid and we're

left with a really clean oil that looks a little bit like this.

From this...to this.

Pretty remarkable.

The bio diesel is way cleaner for the

environment than regular diesel, and this plant can make up

to 90 million litres a year.

But are there enough slimy fatbergs around?

I guess it's difficult to say.

As part of the trial, we've been taking about 30

tonnes a week out of Birmingham.

That's 30 tonnes of fatbergs from just Birmingham every week.

I don't know whether to be disgusted or

impressed.

So, from yuk to useful, fatbergs are being turned into

something pretty nifty.

Finally, what do you do if you're an international cable

wakeboarder in Germany?

Search for new fancy spots to wakeboard, of course!

For two weeks, six of the best international cable wakeboarders

slid, jumped and flipped in search of unusual places to explore.

They travelled 2,000 kilometres, with spectacular obstacles and some

pretty cool backdrops.

That's all from the team for now, Newsround's back right here at 8.15.

Don't forget, you can head online for all the rest

of the day's top stories.

Bye!
