Good morning, it's Ricky here with Newsround

0:00:110:00:14

for you on a Sunday morning.

0:00:140:00:16

First to some sad news - the TV presenter Sir Terry Wogan has

0:00:160:00:19

died after a short illness.

0:00:190:00:21

He was really well-known for his work for Children In Need,

0:00:210:00:23

helping to raise millions of pounds for the charity.

0:00:240:00:28

Lots of people have been paying tribute to the star including

0:00:280:00:32

Prime Minister David Cameron who said, "Britain has lost a huge

0:00:320:00:34

talent - someone millions came to feel was their own special friend."

0:00:340:00:40

Did you know that around the country right now,

0:00:400:00:43

there are thousands of children like you caring

0:00:430:00:48

for their mum or dad?

0:00:480:00:52

They are called Young Carers and take on a lot of the jobs around

0:00:520:00:56

the house that adults usually do.

0:00:560:00:58

Shannon and Scarlett are young carers who look after their mum.

0:00:580:01:01

This is their story

0:01:010:01:02

My name is Scarlett and I'm a young carer.

0:01:020:01:04

My name's Shannon and my life's a bit different to everyone else's.

0:01:040:01:11

My mum has mental health issues, so one minute she'll be happy,

0:01:110:01:14

and the next she'll be sad and isolated.

0:01:140:01:15

If I leave for school and she's a bit panicky,

0:01:150:01:18

that's always in the back of my mind throughout the rest of the day.

0:01:180:01:21

When I sit in my lessons, I'm thinking about Mum,

0:01:210:01:23

and I'm not actually sure what she's doing,

0:01:230:01:26

and it makes me worried.

0:01:260:01:29

When I first started secondary school, I started realising that

0:01:290:01:31

everyone else's families are different to mine.

0:01:310:01:34

They don't really have a lot of issues going on.

0:01:340:01:37

I was at a friend's house at the time and her mum would always

0:01:370:01:41

take her and her sister out, they'd always go places.

0:01:410:01:44

My mum wouldn't, she wouldn't want to go out.

0:01:440:01:49

Caring for my mum has made me more independent,

0:01:490:01:52

and made me see how grateful we ought to be for things we get.

0:01:520:01:56

Other people I know get things they want and take it for granted

0:01:560:02:00

sometimes, whereas when I get things I treasure it more,

0:02:000:02:05

because I know that I'm lucky to have it.

0:02:050:02:08

I will always be close to my family because they're really kind

0:02:080:02:12

and I like being around them.

0:02:120:02:15

Everyone worries about something in their life, and I suppose

0:02:150:02:17

I always just worry about my mum because it's the way

0:02:170:02:20

it's always been.

0:02:200:02:23

She's always there, she's always there for us,

0:02:230:02:26

so we need to be there for her, really.

0:02:260:02:35

Next, to the Australian Open tennis and Jamie Murray has won the men's

0:02:350:02:38

doubles title along with his partner Bruno Soares.

0:02:380:02:40

Jamie, who is one of the top doubles players in the world,

0:02:400:02:43

is the first Briton to win the Australian Open mens doubles

0:02:430:02:45

title in 82 years.

0:02:450:02:49

And even though younger brother Andy had his men's final match to prepare

0:02:490:02:52

for, he was there filming the trophy presentation.

0:02:520:02:55

Andy's on court right now playing against Novak Djokovic.

0:02:550:02:58

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here just after 12pm.

0:02:580:03:00

See you then.
