Morning, I'm Ricky with some great stories this Monday.

0:00:040:00:10

Coming up: The football fan with his own special

0:00:100:00:12

room on matchday.

0:00:120:00:15

The dogs dressing up for Brazil's Rio carnival.

0:00:150:00:19

First to the young football fan who took on his team and won.

0:00:290:00:33

Massive Sunderland fan Nathan couldn't watch his team play

0:00:330:00:36

because of a medical condition, but as Jenny discovered,

0:00:360:00:36

now that's all changed.

0:00:390:00:41

Nathan and his brothers are football crazy.

0:00:410:00:43

Come on, Sunderland!

0:00:430:00:45

They all have autism.

0:00:450:00:46

It's a medical condition that affects the way you see

0:00:460:00:49

the world around you.

0:00:490:00:50

It can make you extremely sensitive to sound, touch,

0:00:500:00:52

smell and light.

0:00:520:00:56

So somewhere very busy and loud like a football match can

0:00:570:01:00

be really stressful.

0:01:000:01:02

I want to go now!

0:01:020:01:04

Let's go, good lad.

0:01:040:01:07

Watching football from the stands with the rest of the crowd just

0:01:070:01:11

wasn't an option so until now Nathan has never been able to go to a game.

0:01:110:01:15

You can hear the noise, it's pretty noisy.

0:01:150:01:19

But it's not just that, it's the lights, you've got bright

0:01:190:01:21

stadium lights, big cheers, lots of crowds everywhere.

0:01:219:54:28

Nathan's family wanted a safe, calm space for their sons and others

9:54:289:54:28

to watch football.

9:54:289:54:28

They campaigned for a special room for people with autism

9:54:289:54:28

and similar conditions.

9:54:289:54:28

And this is it.

9:54:289:54:28

It's safe, away from the crowds, it has special relaxing bubble

9:54:289:54:28

lights and because it's soundproof, when other fans cheer

9:54:289:54:28

it's not scary.

9:54:289:54:28

But it's close enough to get the atmosphere of the match.

9:54:289:54:28

It's absolutely tremendous.

9:54:289:54:28

Beforehand, trying to bring Nathan, he couldn't cope with the atmosphere

9:54:289:54:28

so I had to take him home, but now, he's got his own room,

9:54:289:54:28

he can come, he feels safe and secure.

9:54:289:54:28

It's the right environment for him so he can come and enjoy

9:54:289:54:28

the day now.

9:54:289:54:28

You can see the enjoyment on his face.

9:54:289:54:28

Sunderland are the first in the Premiership to create

9:54:289:54:28

a special room for people with autism.

9:54:289:54:28

Now Nathan's family are meeting other clubs in the league to see

9:54:289:54:28

if they can create similar spaces for other footie fans like him.

9:54:289:54:28

And go online to watch our special programme Autism And Me and learn

9:54:289:54:28

how Rosie lives with her condition.

9:54:289:54:28

Next, kids in western Australia are going back to school after huge

9:54:289:54:28

bushfires struck their communities.

9:54:289:54:28

Here's one boy's story.

9:54:289:54:28

Hi, my name's Kane and this is a pretty exciting day

9:54:289:54:28

for my family.

9:54:289:54:28

We're getting these cool packs and so are hundreds of other kids

9:54:289:54:28

around here, and we're getting it for free.

9:54:289:54:28

Have a look inside.

9:54:289:54:28

It's kind of a back-to-school boost for all of us kids because for a lot

9:54:289:54:28

of people here things haven't been so great over the summer.

9:54:289:54:28

A few months ago, a bushfire broke out in Pinery,

9:54:289:54:28

South Australia, which is really close to Hamley Bridge,

9:54:289:54:28

where I live.

9:54:289:54:28

When the fire started, me and my friend were looking

9:54:289:54:28

on computers to see where it was.

9:54:289:54:28

When my mum picked us up from school, me and my brother

9:54:289:54:28

and sister were scared when the smoke came over.

9:54:289:54:28

We hopped in the car and Mum took us to the Balaclava Recovery Centre.

9:54:289:54:28

The fire burned 87 homes and around 300 farmsteads.

9:54:289:54:28

But our area wasn't the only area to be hit by a big

9:54:289:54:28

bushfire this summer.

9:54:289:54:28

Over in Western Australia, the town of Yarloop was hit

9:54:289:54:28

by a bushfire.

9:54:289:54:28

Now there's basically nothing left.

9:54:289:54:28

Luckily, my school wasn't badly damaged in the fire so now we can go

9:54:289:54:28

back to school straightaway.

9:54:289:54:28

And these packs will really help, especially for those kids

9:54:289:54:28

that lost everything.

9:54:289:54:28

I've got snacks, a pencil case, a lunchbox and a watch.

9:54:289:54:28

Things might not be completely back to normal for me or my friends,

9:54:289:54:28

but we're staying positive and looking for a better future.

9:54:289:54:28

Next to the Super Bowl final.

9:54:289:54:28

It's one of the most watched TV events on the planet.

9:54:289:54:28

The competition in America features the best teams

9:54:289:54:28

from the National Football League.

9:54:289:54:28

The Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers in the final.

9:54:289:54:28

At half-time, some of the world's biggest superstars performed

9:54:289:54:28

including Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Coldplay.

9:54:289:54:28

Read any funny books lately?

9:54:289:54:28

Well, a shortlist for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards -

9:54:289:54:28

a brand new prize for hilarious children's books -

9:54:289:54:28

has been announced today.

9:54:289:54:28

So we wanted to know what books make you giggle.

9:54:289:54:28

Gangsta Granny by David Walliams.

9:54:289:54:28

It made me laugh because of the way the granny was very odd.

9:54:289:54:28

Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson.

9:54:289:54:28

Really, really funny.

9:54:289:54:28

It just makes me laugh.

9:54:289:54:28

I don't know what it is about it.

9:54:289:54:28

The jokes are really original and it's never been

9:54:289:54:28

copied from someone.

9:54:289:54:28

Horrible Histories, Vicious Vikings by Terry Deary.

9:54:289:54:28

There's a lot of funny stuff.

9:54:289:54:28

Billionaire Boy by David Walliams.

9:54:289:54:28

The illustrations in the book itself are really funny.

9:54:289:54:28

James And The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

9:54:289:54:28

When he adds speech, the way they say it and how

9:54:289:54:28

they say it.

9:54:289:54:28

These spectacular fireworks lit up the sky in Beijing to celebrate

9:54:289:54:28

Chinese New Year.

9:54:289:54:28

Hundreds of millions of people around the world

9:54:289:54:28

are marking the event.

9:54:289:54:28

People buy colourful presents for their families and make

9:54:289:54:28

offerings to the temples.

9:54:289:54:28

They also sing and dance.

9:54:289:54:28

And these dogs got dressed up specially for Rio's carnival

9:54:289:54:28

in Brazil - they wore bows and ribbons and hats

9:54:289:54:28

and enjoyed the music.

9:54:289:54:28

And go online to see an amazing video of the first three months

9:54:289:54:28

of a polar bear's life.

9:54:289:54:28

You'll love it.
