Morning, guys - Leah here with all the latest on Newsround this | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
morning, including: The glistening palace made completely out of ice. | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
And sightings of a mysterious beaver everyone thought was extinct. Keep | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
watching. But first, peace talks aimed at | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
bringing an end to the war in Syria will start today. The talks in | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Switzerland bring the Syrian government face to face with the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
opposition for the first time. More than 100,000 people have died in the | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
conflict since 2011, which started when rebel groups tried to overthrow | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
the country's president. Leading figures from around the world will | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
oversea the talks, including Britain's Foreign Secretary William | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
Hague. This is the opportunity for Syrian leaders on all sides to bring | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
an end to this bloodshed, to save their country, to put an end to such | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
extraordinary misery, to the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the | :01:02. | :01:02. | |
21st-century. Next, another winter storm has hit | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
the east coast of America. Up to 12 inches of snow has fallen in parts, | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
forcing lots of school to shut and thousands of flights to be | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
cancelled. The snow has covered the streets of New York City and | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Washington DC is expected to get its heaviest snow fall in three years. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
This second storm has come just two weeks after the polar vortex brought | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
heavy snow and freezing temperatures to the same area. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
And you can see some of the most dramatic pictures from that second | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
big freeze over on the Newsround website now. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Now, it's a big day for Andy Murray as the British number one takes on | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Roger Federer in the quarter finals of the one of the biggest tennis | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
tournaments around - the Australian Open. Federer's won more grand slams | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
than any current player, but Murray beat him in the semi-finals of this | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
tournament this time last year. So Ayshah's been looking at who's | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
likely to come out on top. Murray versus Federer is the chance | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
for old rivals to meet again and a chance to see if both men are back | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
to their best. A lot has been written about Murray's recent back | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
surgery, but after four rounds of testing in Melbourne, his coach says | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
he has no excuses. Even if you are really ready and you haven't had any | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
setbacks or injuries to come back from, you still never know what is | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
going to happen. You could still lose the match easily, it doesn't | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
really matter. But Andy had a good run in Miami, so none of that is an | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
issue. Many thought Federer's own back trouble and a disappointing | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
2013 kept him stuck on 17 grand slam wins, but his partnership with | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Stefan Edberg may be the key to changing that. This match throws up | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
more questions than it answers - no one, not even tennis superstars, | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
knows what's going to happen. If it is warm on this court, I go for | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
Federer. I'm very confident it will be Andy Murray because it is not | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
going to be physical. It is a match he knows he can win. Andy Murray has | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
been saying that he doesn't expect to win the Australian Open, but he's | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
also been saying that expectations can change, and if he can beat Roger | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Federer for the first time in a grand slam they certainly will. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Well, that game is just about to start and the winner will face | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Rafael Nadal, who won his quarter final match this morning. He beat | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov three sets to one. Earlier, in the women's | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
quarter finals, defending champion Victoria Azarenka was beaten by | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Agnieszka Radwanska and Sloavkia's Dominika Cibulkova knocked out | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Simona Halep to make it through to the semi-finals. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Sticking with sport, Manchester City completed a 9-0 aggregate thrashing | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
of West Ham to reach their first League Cup final for 38 years. 6-0 | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
up from the first leg - two goals from Negredo and another from Sergio | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Aguero finished off the Hammers at Upton Park. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Finally, to the mystery beaver that's been caught on camera tucking | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
into trees. A farmer in Devon set up this night-vision camera to find out | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
what was causing the teeth marks in his the bark. He discovered it was | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
this little fella, but experts are confused, because wild beavers are | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
extremely rare in England after they were hunted to extinction during the | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
12th century. I'd seen something similar before in Canada, but I | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
thought, no, we can't have anything like a beaver here, can we? So we | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
decided to put out a camera on the site where I'd seen them. And to our | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
great surprise, yes, it was a beaver. Couldn't believe it. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Fantastic! Last up, just time to show you some | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
pictures of this amazing ice palace in New York. Workers are busy | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
putting the ice blocks in place and it will even have ice thrones in it. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
It's being built for a big winter carnival that's taken place every | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
year in the village of Saranac in New York State since 1898. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
That's it from us this morning, but we'll back after school at 4.20pm. | :04:55. | :04:59. |
