Hi, everyone, and welcome

and we're live on CBBC.
Coming up in the next few minutes...
Ahead of tomorrow's BGT,
we catch up with a semifinalist.
And some advice on going back
to school after a strange year.

Hi, everyone.
First up, it's been a big week
for millions of you as you've been
heading back to school again.
While many of you are excited
about going back to class,
some of you have told us
you are feeling a bit nervous
or anxious about it -
and that's completely normal!
So we asked Dr Radha
for some advice for you.
Tip number one is to realise that
you haven't been at school
for a very long time.
So if you're feeling anxious
or nervous or a bit worried,
that's totally normal
and to be expected.
The most important thing to do
is realise you're not
on your own with your feelings
and to let someone
know how you feel.
Tip number two is that things
will probably look a bit different
to how they usually look,
so if you're not sure, then ask.
There are lots of people around -
teachers, your parents,
your carers - who want to help
and make sure you feel
comfortable with what you're
going to go back into.
So if you're not quite sure,
there's no such thing
as a stupid question -
make sure you ask
so you feel better.
Tip number three is realising that
everyone is in the same boat.
So if you feel a bit
anxious or worried,
or you don't know something,
then there are bound to be
people around you who also
feel the same way -
and that's great, because that means
that you can feel better
about talking to people,
talking to your friends
and chatting about how you feel
and what you're not sure about.
Tip number four is all about telling
someone you trust how you feel.
So when we're feeling a little
bit worried or anxious,
or just not quite sure about what's
going to happen, the best
thing we can do is tell
someone how we feel.
That's for two reasons -
it gets things out of our heads,
but also it gives that person
we tell a chance to help us,
support us, and give us advice
as well so we can feel better.
And tip number five
is all about focusing
on the things you enjoy.
So the giggles, the laughs,
seeing your friends -
all these things that you've missed,
all the things that
you enjoy about school -
focus on those because,
actually, that's what will put
a smile on your face and that's
what will help you get back
to school and feel good.
Sport now, and it was a bad night
for British tennis as both
Andy Murray and Johanna Konta
were knocked out of the US Open.
Murray lost his second-round
match in straight sets.
Konta didn't fare much better,
losing her match against world
number 77 Sorana Cirstea.
I think my level was a lot higher
than hers in the first set,
but she's a great player and she's
had some pretty amazing results also
in the past, in her career,
but she is capable of playing some
really good tennis,
and she obviously raised her level
and then we were battling kind
of toe to toe, really,
but she just was better in the end.
OK - still to come in
the bulletin this morning...
Work starts on the UK's
massive new train project.
And we meet the kids
helping out puffins.
This Saturday Britain's Got Talent,
the semifinals are back!
The show was put on hold
earlier this year because of
lockdown and coronavirus.
13-year-old Fayth was one
of the lucky few who received
the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell,
which meant she went straight
through to the semi finals.
We spoke to Fayth to find
out how she was feeling
ahead of tomorrow's show.
Hi, Newsround.
My name is Fayth.
I am 13 years old and I'm
in the semifinals of
Britain's Got Talent.
I auditioned for Britain's Got
Talent because I've seen
so many videos on YouTube,
like "best contestant",
all the golden buzzers,
and then I really wanted to give it
a go and, well, it turned out well!
But it was such an amazing day
and when that Golden Buzzer just
came, all I could do was be
emotional and it's the best,
amazing moment of my life.
CHEERING.
I've been practising day in and day
out for the semifinals.
Cos it's something...
It's amazing.
I've got to the semifinals
and that's, like, really good.
When there's no audience it's
going to be a bit weird,
but there will be a virtual audience
which will be good enough
but the audience really gets
you in the mood with the music.
But also Simon's not
going to be there, so that's
really upsetting, as well.
My dream - I'm going to say
the first one because it's, like,
the uppermost dream -
is to have a dog.
But in order to get a dog,
I will have to win BGT.
So...giving it my all
and hopefully I can win.
I'm so excited to get back
on that stage and perform.
I'm feeling a little bit nervous,
but I'm so excited at the same time
to see all the judges -
and for the whole thing, really.
It would be amazing
if I went into the final,
but I'm just going to give
it my all and hopefully
I can get in.
Bye, Newsround.
Hopefully you can tune
in for Saturday because that's
when my performance is going to be.
Bye!
Amazing, good luck.
The actual building of the HS2
high-speed rail line linking London
to Birmingham is due to start today.
The first phase of the scheme -
linking London and Birmingham -
will create thousands of jobs.
But critics argue the project
is a waste of money and will
harm the environment.
And you can find out loads
more about the different
arguments about HS2 over
at the Newsround website.
Children living in the south
of Iceland have been giving
a helping hand to lost baby puffins
on their journeys to the ocean.
Here s more on how they ve been
rescuing the chicks.
It's puffin season
on the Westman Islands in Iceland.
Puffin chicks - which are also
known as pufflings!
- begin to leave their nests
to start new lives away
from their parents in late August
and early September.
However, leaving the nest isn't
as simple as it might seem.
The pufflings use moonlight
to guide them to the ocean.
But the city lights
in the island's local towns can
often confuse the birds.
This leaves them exposed
to dangers like cats and cars.
That's where the local
children come to the rescue.
Many of them go out
with their families during the night
to help save the puffins
from the streets.
They're looked after overnight
before being weighed
and measured in the morning.
And their details are added
to a special database.
Once they've been registered,
the chicks are released at sea
to begin their new lives.
So far, more than 5,000 pufflings
have been rescued this year.
Amazing stuff.
Now, have you ever seen butter look
quite as impressive as this?!
The life-sized sculpture
recently went on display
at the New York State Fair,
which is held every year.
The event always features a buttery
creation and this year's artwork -
called Nourishing Our Future -
explores how the pandemic
has impacted the way
children have been learning,
with many switching to daily lessons
online over the last few months.
That's all from us for today -
