Hello, you're live with Leah on Newsround this Sunday. Coming right

:00:09.:00:13.

up: Extreme weather stops Prince Harry's race to the South Pole. A

:00:14.:00:19.

red girl's bike! Manx missile Mark Cavendish reveals his first ever

:00:20.:00:22.

bike wasn't what you'd expect and... Unusual loos - the Time Lord TARDIS

:00:23.:00:30.

toilet that's up for sale in Devon. But first services have been held

:00:31.:00:33.

across South Africa on a national day of prayer and reflection for the

:00:34.:00:36.

country's former leader, Nelson Mandela. In public spaces and in

:00:37.:00:39.

churches, people all over the country have been remembering the

:00:40.:00:42.

life and achievements of their first black president, who died on

:00:43.:00:45.

Thursday, aged 95. Meanwhile a sea of flowers continues to grow outside

:00:46.:00:48.

Mr Mandela's home as people come to pay their respects. World leaders,

:00:49.:00:51.

including US president Barack Obama, will attend a huge national memorial

:00:52.:00:54.

service in the giant football stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

:00:55.:00:57.

At a church service this morning, the current president Jacob Zuma

:00:58.:01:00.

urged South Africans not to forget the values Mr Mandela stood for. He

:01:01.:01:17.

preached and believed in peace, that we should live in peace. He believed

:01:18.:01:27.

in forgiving and he forgave. Even those who kept him in jail for 27

:01:28.:01:35.

years. Don't forget to head to our web-site where we've got loads more

:01:36.:01:39.

on why Nelson Mandela was such an important figure to people all over

:01:40.:01:42.

the world. To the Philippines in South East Asia now. And one month

:01:43.:01:46.

on after Typhoon Haiyan struck, the country there's signs people are

:01:47.:01:49.

slowly recovering. In the city of Tacloban, one of the worst affected

:01:50.:01:52.

areas, people have been clearing up the debris and opening up shops. But

:01:53.:01:55.

many people here are still homeless. The BBC's Jon Donnison has been to

:01:56.:01:59.

see how people there have been trying to clean up their city. One

:02:00.:02:08.

month on there is still a daunting massive amount of work to be done.

:02:09.:02:12.

But people are doing it. The aid agencies now are operating these

:02:13.:02:16.

mass cash for work programmes, paying people a few dollars a day to

:02:17.:02:21.

get out on the streets and start, push on, press on with the clean up.

:02:22.:02:26.

But most of these people here will have lost their homes, they're still

:02:27.:02:32.

living in temporary shelter. But the aim is to build up some sort of

:02:33.:02:39.

self-sufficienty and give people money to rebuild their lives. Prince

:02:40.:02:44.

Harry will no longer race to the South Pole, because the people in

:02:45.:02:47.

charge of the expedition are worried about safety. Harry is trekking

:02:48.:02:50.

across Antarctica with a team of injured British service men and

:02:51.:02:53.

women and they had been racing against other groups from the US and

:02:54.:02:56.

Croatia. But the charity Walking with the Wounded - who the prince is

:02:57.:03:00.

raising money for - decided conditions are too harsh to to

:03:01.:03:03.

compete so, they will now continue as one big group. They set off on

:03:04.:03:07.

the last 70-mile leg to the South Pole itself today. And sticking with

:03:08.:03:10.

chilly places, wintry weather is causing chaos in large parts of

:03:11.:03:14.

America, where a huge ice storm has hit several states. Thousands of

:03:15.:03:17.

people there have been left with no electricity. Roads are really

:03:18.:03:19.

dangerous, because they're covered in frozen snow. Earlier this week,

:03:20.:03:26.

Martin put the fastest man on two wheels to the test in a special

:03:27.:03:29.

Newsround challenge. But today it's your turn to put him on the spot as

:03:30.:03:33.

Mark Cavendish answers your questions. Mark, we have got our

:03:34.:03:42.

viewers to send in questions. How much work does it take to be the

:03:43.:03:46.

best and what is your favourite part, from Leo? It takes a lot of

:03:47.:03:51.

work to be the best at anything you do. You have to put everything you

:03:52.:03:55.

can into it. You have to have some natural talent. The thing that is

:03:56.:04:00.

nicest from that is winning. Maggie says, how did you feel when you got

:04:01.:04:08.

the MBE? I was on houred -- on noured -- honoured. It was nice to

:04:09.:04:13.

meet the Queen and I had a chat. It was just before the Olympics, I

:04:14.:04:21.

said, we will be finishing by your house. Emily says hello Mark, at my

:04:22.:04:30.

cycling club, we call you cannon ball calve, what do you think of

:04:31.:04:34.

that? That is what the Italians call me. I have been winning for a few

:04:35.:04:40.

years, I was more of a household name in Italy before people knew me

:04:41.:04:47.

in the UK. That was my nick name in Italy. What has been your favourite

:04:48.:04:53.

victory? It was probably the world road race Championship. The road

:04:54.:04:58.

race is very hard to win and I did that in 2011. Tom said, I have got a

:04:59.:05:03.

new bike that is so fast, when did you get your first bike? I remember

:05:04.:05:08.

my first bike when I was three, it was a girl's bike, a little red

:05:09.:05:14.

girl's bike and I learned to ride on that. I can remember me dad staking

:05:15.:05:19.

the ablise -- stabilisers off and then learning to ride. And then I

:05:20.:05:27.

got a black mongoose BMX and I was off from then on. Now we all love a

:05:28.:05:34.

bit of Doctor Who, but how about Dr Loo? One family in Devon are such

:05:35.:05:38.

big fans of the programme they turned their bathroom into a TARDIS.

:05:39.:05:40.

Entering through a replica door, it's bigger inside than you'd think.

:05:41.:05:44.

Now the Time Lord toilet is up for grabs after the family put the house

:05:45.:05:48.

on sale. Well, unlike the doctor, we can't control time and so that's it

:05:49.:05:52.

from us today. Have a lovely Sunday afternoon and Aysha will be back

:05:53.:05:55.

tomorrow with your Monday morning headlines.
