Hi, I'm Martin, this is your last Newsround update of the weekend,

0:00:020:00:05

so listen up for the biggest stories.

0:00:050:00:08

Find out why this top rugby player got a bit embarrassed!

0:00:090:00:14

And the colony of penguins going on camera.

0:00:140:00:18

First to that huge snow storm in the US.

0:00:240:00:27

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

0:00:270:00:28

and many places on the East Coast have been stopped in their tracks

0:00:290:00:33

by the sheer amount of snow.

0:00:330:00:35

18 people have died because of the weather so far.

0:00:350:00:39

I've been taking a look.

0:00:390:00:43

This is Washington DC, America's capital.

0:00:490:00:51

It's man versus snow here.

0:00:510:00:52

The battle is on to clear the city's roads and pavements.

0:00:520:00:54

There's more than a metre of snow on the streets in some places here.

0:00:540:00:59

Not even the President could escape the wild weather as his home,

0:00:590:01:03

the White House, got even whiter.

0:01:030:01:05

But here's someone who's managing to have fun in the extreme weather.

0:01:050:01:10

This is Tian Tian, a giant panda at the zoo in Washington,

0:01:100:01:14

making the most of the snow.

0:01:140:01:16

The snowstorm has travelled 200 miles to New York,

0:01:160:01:20

whipping up high tides to bring flooding in several towns.

0:01:200:01:25

This is Times Square in New York.

0:01:250:01:27

Normally, it's bustling with tourists and loads of traffic.

0:01:270:01:30

Right now, all travel is banned in the city.

0:01:300:01:33

That is to allow officials to clear up.

0:01:330:01:40

When the snow eventually stops, that is what officials

0:01:400:01:43

will be concentrating on.

0:01:430:01:46

They want to get the public transport back up and running

0:01:460:01:50

but that could take some time.

0:01:500:01:52

They have to clear up the two feet of snow from city streets.

0:01:520:01:59

The snow means business.

0:01:590:02:01

7,000 flights have been delayed and cancelled.

0:02:010:02:04

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

0:02:040:02:08

traffic jams lasting more than 12 hours in the states

0:02:080:02:11

of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

0:02:110:02:15

Weather forecasters say the blizzard is weakening as it heads out

0:02:150:02:18

towards the Atlantic Ocean.

0:02:180:02:23

So, what are kids in America doing during the blizzard?

0:02:230:02:25

Well, we've been sent some very special reports from children over

0:02:250:02:29

in the States.

0:02:290:02:32

Hi, I'm Zara.

0:02:320:02:33

And I'm Julia.

0:02:330:02:34

And we are doing a secret blizzard snow handshake.

0:02:340:02:39

Now we're going to use our special measuring stick to test the snow.

0:02:390:02:45

How many inches to we think we have, girls?

0:02:460:02:49

20.

0:02:490:02:51

OK.

0:02:510:02:52

Can we see the stick that you've made?

0:02:520:02:54

It's the official snow stick.

0:02:540:02:57

It's about 1.5 feet.

0:02:570:03:02

As you can see, it is knowing pretty hard right now.

0:03:140:03:17

It has been snowing for 45 minutes.

0:03:170:03:21

We are getting ready for the storm.

0:03:210:03:22

We're hoping it will snow deep enough so that we do not have to go

0:03:220:03:26

to school on Monday.

0:03:260:03:27

Hello, my name is Tom and this is my coverage of Storm Jonas.

0:03:270:03:30

Storm Jonas has caused havoc all over the East Coast and mid

0:03:300:03:33

Atlantic.

0:03:330:03:35

Cars have been stuck, cables have been weighed down,

0:03:350:03:37

almost everything has happened.

0:03:370:03:39

Even a blizzard.

0:03:390:03:41

With wind speeds up to 60 mph, it truly is a breathtaking experience.

0:03:410:03:48

There is 24 inches of snow.

0:03:480:03:50

This is how you can tell.

0:03:500:03:51

Look over there.

0:03:510:03:58

Make it happen.

0:03:580:04:02

We are riding the sleigh.

0:04:020:04:07

That was awesome.

0:04:070:04:11

More cold news now.

0:04:110:04:12

And a team of researchers from Oxford University has set up

0:04:120:04:14

penguin-monitoring cameras in the Antarctic Peninsula.

0:04:140:04:16

By using this special penguin CCTV, the team are hoping to reach remote

0:04:160:04:19

penguin colonies to learn more about the birds and hopefully learn

0:04:190:04:21

how we can protect them for the future.

0:04:210:04:29

Now, it wouldn't be a weekend without the week's weirdest news.

0:04:290:04:32

Jenny has it for you now.

0:04:320:04:35

First to the sheep with a slight problem of being stuck on the side

0:04:390:04:43

of a cliff in Wales.

0:04:430:04:44

It had been there for days and couldn't move from

0:04:440:04:47

the dangerous ledge.

0:04:470:04:47

RSPCA rescuers had to abseil down the cliff side,

0:04:470:04:49

collect the sheep and carry it down to the bottom in a bag.

0:04:490:04:53

The sheep wasn't injured, but was pretty peckish

0:04:530:04:55

after its cliffside adventures.

0:04:550:04:59

Next to the really cool man taking on a chilly challenge.

0:05:010:05:04

Not only did he stay in a bath full of ice for more than an hour,

0:05:040:05:08

but he played chess at the same time.

0:05:080:05:11

He won several games of Chinese chess while he was chilling out.

0:05:110:05:16

No wonder he's nicknamed the Polar Bear.

0:05:160:05:19

And last up, ever tried doga?

0:05:220:05:24

These dogs and their owners stretched their way to a new world

0:05:240:05:27

record this week by taking part in dog yoga.

0:05:270:05:29

270 pooches took part in the class, which lasted for an hour.

0:05:290:05:34

And last up, take a look at this poor guy.

0:05:390:05:41

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

0:05:410:05:44

against Toulouse, then this happened.

0:05:440:05:45

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

0:05:450:05:48

finished with a 28-17 away victory.

0:05:480:05:52

That's it from me.

0:05:520:05:53

Newsround will be back tomorrow morning.

0:05:530:05:54

Bye!
