Morning everyone, I'm Leah with all you need to know this morning.

:00:07.:00:09.

We hear from the girl that helps her sister communicate.

:00:10.:00:12.

And the new polar bear arrival - keep watching.

:00:13.:00:24.

First to the Winter Youth Olympics in Norway.

:00:25.:00:28.

The British team have already got one gold medal and are still hoping

:00:29.:00:31.

Hayley's in Lillehammer for Newsround.

:00:32.:00:35.

It's an eventful day here at the Youth Olympic

:00:36.:00:47.

Ashleigh Pittaway is only 15 and she's favourite to win.

:00:48.:00:58.

Athletes basically ride down head first down an ice slope.

:00:59.:01:03.

There are two runs and the results are added together to

:01:04.:01:10.

Although Ashleigh is just 15 she's already won bronze at the European

:01:11.:01:16.

at the European Cup race and is aiming for gold today.

:01:17.:01:18.

Another sport is happening today and that's the Slopestyle.

:01:19.:01:25.

Now, it's the first time this sport has been introduced to the youth

:01:26.:01:28.

Winter Olympics and let me try to explain it to you.

:01:29.:01:31.

It's like skating along a skate park.

:01:32.:01:33.

But everything is made of slippery snow on an incredible step hill.

:01:34.:01:36.

You've got to do stunts and jumps and you're judged

:01:37.:01:38.

on your creativity, skill and achievement.

:01:39.:01:41.

Yesterday I met up with Cal Sandieson as he trained

:01:42.:01:45.

It is nine o'clock in the morning and we are already on the slopes.

:01:46.:01:51.

Cal, you have got lots of training to do, so you'd best be off

:01:52.:01:55.

and I will meet you at the bottom with a hot chocolate.

:01:56.:01:58.

Cal Sandieson is 17 years old and his sport is slope style,

:01:59.:02:00.

which means he has got to perform five tricks down this

:02:01.:02:03.

Was there anything trickier that you didn't expect,

:02:04.:02:49.

It was a little bit windy, but nothing out of the normal.

:02:50.:02:54.

So from 0-10, ten being the most confident, how confident are you?

:02:55.:02:59.

What happens now for the rest of the day?

:03:00.:03:05.

Probably go down and eat some nice food and go to bed early and go

:03:06.:03:09.

Nice food, that sounds good, shall we head off and eat?

:03:10.:03:20.

Well, I'll be watching Cal in action later today and I'll be

:03:21.:03:23.

keeping my eye on Ashleigh here with my fingers crossed

:03:24.:03:26.

So come back at 4:20 to see how team GB gets on.

:03:27.:03:32.

In the meantime see more of Cal's amazing stunts online.

:03:33.:03:41.

Now the story of three sisters, Casey, Hannah and Lucy.

:03:42.:03:44.

Hannah, the middle sister, has a condition called selective

:03:45.:03:47.

mutism, which means she doesn't talk in public.

:03:48.:03:49.

Here's the story of their family, which they've filmed especially

:03:50.:03:51.

Hannah, what is the best thing about being a sister?

:03:52.:04:03.

And what is the worst thing about being the middle

:04:04.:04:05.

If you can't already tell, Hannah does have selective mutism.

:04:06.:04:12.

It basically means she doesn't talk in public.

:04:13.:04:14.

She only talks to me, my mum, my dad and Lucy.

:04:15.:04:19.

She doesn't talk to anyone else outside of school.

:04:20.:04:24.

She only talks in the house if there is no one there.

:04:25.:04:27.

Hannah's condition means that the person with

:04:28.:04:30.

it gets worried and anxious speaking in certain places like somewhere

:04:31.:04:32.

It doesn't mean that they don't want to talk, but they feel

:04:33.:04:39.

they can't as though they are frozen.

:04:40.:04:41.

The condition affects around one in every 150 children.

:04:42.:05:00.

It means that Hannah relies on her sisters to communicate

:05:01.:05:03.

with her and to speak for her and to explain why

:05:04.:05:05.

she isn't talking if people don't understand.

:05:06.:05:08.

I am really happy that Hannah trusts me and Lucy to speak

:05:09.:05:28.

It shows the bond between us as sisters.

:05:29.:05:33.

Casey and Lucy say that they hope Hannah will be able to talk

:05:34.:05:36.

in the future, but they are happy to wait until she is able to.

:05:37.:05:45.

There's been a new arrival at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

:05:46.:05:48.

Nobby the Polar Bear travelled over a thousand miles from Germany

:05:49.:05:50.

and took his first steps in his new home near Doncaster yesterday.

:05:51.:05:59.

That is all from me. Have a great weekend when it arrives.

:06:00.:06:01.
