Hi, guys, Ayshah here, with your last update of the day. Coming up:

:00:00.:00:08.

As large parts of America are gripped by another freezing Arctic

:00:09.:00:12.

blast, we find out how snow rollers are created.

:00:13.:00:16.

And cute panda alert: we check out some newborn red panda twins in New

:00:17.:00:18.

Zealand. You're with Newsround.

:00:19.:00:26.

First, the Queen's Baton Relay: it's on an epic journey through 70

:00:27.:00:28.

nations, being carried thousands of miles across the globe, but in the

:00:29.:00:33.

past few minutes we've found out the route it will take through England.

:00:34.:00:38.

It will touch down in Manchester on the 31st of May and pass through 15

:00:39.:00:41.

cities before heading north of the border for a 40-day tour of

:00:42.:00:46.

Scotland. So if you want to check out the baton in England, get on the

:00:47.:00:50.

Newsround website to see if it's stopping in a city near you! We've

:00:51.:00:53.

also heard today that about 5,000 tickets for the Games will be given

:00:54.:00:57.

away over the next few months. The free tickets will be handed out to

:00:58.:01:00.

young people, community groups and people with disabilities around

:01:01.:01:05.

Scotland. Nearly all the tickets for the Games have now been sold.

:01:06.:01:12.

Next to America, where Midwest states have been hit with more

:01:13.:01:15.

freezing weather. Now states in the south, more used to warm conditions,

:01:16.:01:19.

are in the grip of a severe winter storm over the next few days. It has

:01:20.:01:23.

already caused chaos, with schools closed, flights cancelled and

:01:24.:01:25.

dangerous conditions on roads. Many motorists trying to travel spun off

:01:26.:01:30.

the road or slid into snow banks. In Ohio, high winds created what's

:01:31.:01:34.

known as "snow rollers". We didn't know much about them, so we asked a

:01:35.:01:43.

BBC weather expert to tell us more. They turn up in America but we

:01:44.:01:47.

occasionally get them in this country. You need three things, hard

:01:48.:01:55.

ground, then on top of that you need if you need HQ centimetres of sticky

:01:56.:02:00.

snow, the sort that is ideal for snowballs. If you get a strong wind

:02:01.:02:06.

blowing across it, it picks up little bits and start to blow it

:02:07.:02:10.

along and it rolls up, like rolling a carpet of a Swiss roll. The

:02:11.:02:17.

strange thing is, nobody ever seemed to see them being formed.

:02:18.:02:22.

Now, if you're like me, you might not like the idea of lots of people

:02:23.:02:26.

watching you while you eat. But in South Korea, people have actually

:02:27.:02:29.

started paying to watch other people eat food online. Every day, Park

:02:30.:02:32.

here eats food in front of her computer for three hours and gets

:02:33.:02:36.

paid by people who tune in to watch her eat so they don't feel lonely

:02:37.:02:39.

eating on their own. Finally, to two adorable newborns at

:02:40.:02:43.

a zoo in New Zealand: this family of red pandas at Auckland Zoo are

:02:44.:02:46.

celebrating the arrival of twins. Here they are cuddling up with Mum

:02:47.:02:50.

in the nest box. They will stay there sleeping and lazing about

:02:51.:02:52.

until they're three months old. After that, they will sit in the

:02:53.:02:56.

trees, sleeping and lazing about. That's all from me. Newsround is

:02:57.:02:58.

back in the morning. Bye!
