I'm Martin, this is your Newsround on Sunday.

0:00:100:00:14

To our top story now, that huge snow storm in the US.

0:00:140:00:17

More than 85 million people have been affected by the fierce weather

0:00:170:00:20

that has stopped much of the East Coast in its tracks.

0:00:200:00:24

The blizzard has left some places over a metre deep in snow.

0:00:240:00:27

18 people have died because of the weather so far.

0:00:270:00:29

Many train stations and airports are closed and the snow has caused

0:00:300:00:34

traffic jams lasting more than 12 hours in the states

0:00:340:00:37

of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

0:00:370:00:39

The blizzard is now lessening

0:00:390:00:41

and heading out towards the Atlantic Ocean.

0:00:410:00:45

To Devon in the southwest of England, and the town

0:00:450:00:47

of Teignmouth, where picking up a good book as part of a new project

0:00:470:00:50

there could also save lives.

0:00:500:00:52

Here's Jenny.

0:00:520:00:55

Whether it's fact or fiction, these second-hand books promise

0:00:550:00:58

to get hearts beating.

0:00:580:00:59

That's because they're helping to raise money for important

0:00:590:01:01

first-aid machines, which adults use to restart hearts,

0:01:010:01:04

called defibrillators, in the local area.

0:01:040:01:07

The books are left in public places, like benches or cafes, for readers.

0:01:070:01:12

People can choose to keep the book if they want and are invited to text

0:01:120:01:16

a donation to a heart charity called Teen Heartbeat.

0:01:160:01:25

I certainly will go home and do it and I hope others

0:01:250:01:28

will do, too.

0:01:280:01:29

Hopefully, there won't be a need for them to be used here,

0:01:290:01:32

but it's nice to know they'll be around if they are needed.

0:01:320:01:35

It's been happening every Tuesday and already,

0:01:350:01:37

they've managed to save the lives of two lives of people who have

0:01:370:01:40

benefited from the first aid.

0:01:400:01:41

OK, time for a quick round-up of some of yesterday's football action.

0:01:410:01:44

The pressure on Louis Van Gaal increased as Man United lost at home

0:01:440:01:47

to Southampton 1-0.

0:01:470:01:49

Charlie Austin scored the winner on his debut with a header

0:01:490:01:51

in the 87th minute.

0:01:510:01:57

Man City needed a late equaliser from Sergio Aguero and a top

0:01:570:02:00

save from Joe Hart to claim a point away at West Ham with a 2-2 draw.

0:02:000:02:05

But the game of the day was undoubtedly Norwich

0:02:050:02:08

against Liverpool, which saw the Reds claim a remarkable 5-4 win.

0:02:080:02:11

Norwich had levelled the game at 4-4 in the 90th minute before a dramatic

0:02:110:02:15

last-gasp winner from Adam Lallana caused some big celebrations!

0:02:150:02:19

Tennis next: And defending champion Novak Djokovic survived a bit

0:02:220:02:24

of a scare against Gilles Simon to reach the quarterfinals

0:02:240:02:26

of the Australian Open in Melbourne.

0:02:260:02:28

The game went all the way to five sets, but finally,

0:02:280:02:30

after four hours and 32 minutes, the five-time champion went

0:02:300:02:33

on to three sets to two.

0:02:330:02:37

This will be Djokovic's 27th consecutive grand slam quarterfinal.

0:02:370:02:42

And last up, you wouldn't want to be this man.

0:02:420:02:44

Saracens' fly-half Owen Farrell steaming his way over the try line

0:02:440:02:47

against Toulouse, then this happened.

0:02:470:02:51

Poor guy!

0:02:510:02:52

Luckily, he didn't let that get the better of him and the team

0:02:520:02:55

finished with a 28-17 away victory.

0:02:550:02:56

That's all from me, Newsround's back just before 12:00.
