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! | :02:59. | :03:00. |
