Hiya, it's Friday!

0:00:040:00:06

I'm Ayshah with the stories

you need over breakfast.

0:00:060:00:09

Coming up...

0:00:090:00:11

One lucky school is getting a visit

0:00:110:00:13

from the Royal couple

and

0:00:130:00:15

the twins somersaulting

their way to success.

0:00:150:00:25

A Hollywood film called Wonder

is being released today.

0:00:300:00:37

It's based on the story

of a ten-year-old boy with a facial

0:00:370:00:39

disfigurement who was

bullied at school.

0:00:390:00:42

For 13-year-old Marcus

the story is close to home.

0:00:420:00:45

He joins me on the sofa now,

and we also have Phillida Smith

0:00:450:00:48

from the charity Changing Faces.

0:00:480:00:51

Thank you for coming in!

0:00:510:00:55

It's a cold morning.

0:00:550:00:56

Marcus, just tell us

about your condition?

0:00:560:01:01

When I was younger, I got bullied,

especially year four, because I

0:01:010:01:10

looked different, people called me

scarface, joker. And some people

0:01:100:01:17

even said if they looked me they

would kill themselves.

I am so sorry

0:01:170:01:26

about that. But you have come out on

the other side?

Changing Faces has

0:01:260:01:34

helped. Because I have been meeting

people who have gone through the

0:01:340:01:40

same things as me.

And please

explain your disfigurement.

I have

0:01:400:01:48

the facial pallet.

And how have you

helped?

Marcus, he has been a great

0:01:480:02:00

example of the journey that you can

have, and the confidence you can

0:02:000:02:04

build.

Those were some horrible

names that Marcus had been called.

0:02:040:02:10

What can the schools do to help?

We

have resources, teaching teachers

0:02:100:02:16

about how to talk about this,

teaching young people to embrace the

0:02:160:02:21

difference.

Marcus, we mentioned the

film Wonder. How do you think that

0:02:210:02:28

is going to help the children with

these disfigurement?

If you are

0:02:280:02:35

getting bullied... You need to tell

your parents, an adult you can

0:02:350:02:44

trust. It is not you with the

problem. That is their with the

0:02:440:02:49

problem.

That is a great message.

Thank you so much. Absolutely

0:02:490:02:56

brilliant. It has been a pleasure to

meet you, Marcus.

0:02:560:03:09

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

will carry out their first joint

0:03:090:03:12

jobs as a Royal couple later

0:03:120:03:14

just days after announcing they're

getting married in the spring.

0:03:140:03:16

They'll visit several charities

in Nottingham and visit a school.

0:03:160:03:18

Can you imagine them

coming to your school?

0:03:180:03:20

Wow!

0:03:200:03:21

OK...

0:03:210:03:22

Next if you like gymnastics

this one's for you.

0:03:220:03:24

Two sporty sisters and their story.

0:03:240:03:29

I am Katie.

I am Izzy.

We are twins.

When we were younger, we competed on

0:03:290:03:44

the bar and beam, but injuries

stopped us competing.

How did that

0:03:440:03:47

feel? You thought you could not do

gymnastics again?

I was really

0:03:470:03:54

disappointed and upset. Gymnastics

means everything to me. To think I

0:03:540:03:58

could not do it again, it upset me.

Was it difficult, watching me?

I

0:03:580:04:06

knew I was going to get better, but

I had to wait and I was watching you

0:04:060:04:12

when I was coaching. I was

frustrated I could not jump on the

0:04:120:04:16

floor!

How does it make you feel,

being able to do gymnastics again?

0:04:160:04:21

Really happy and delighted that I

can do the sport that I love. I am

0:04:210:04:27

so thankful that my injury has not

stopped me from doing gymnastics

0:04:270:04:33

altogether.

This weekend were

heading to the London of gymnastics.

0:04:330:04:38

It is going to be the first team

since we were younger that we will

0:04:380:04:42

be performing together. How are you

feeling?

Really excited. It is a big

0:04:420:04:48

performance. A little bit nervous as

I do not want things to go wrong but

0:04:480:04:51

I am excited.

0:04:510:04:57

MUSIC.

0:05:000:05:02

It was really fun. I have not done

anything like that before. I was

0:05:080:05:14

competing and it was exciting.

They

were so good!

0:05:140:05:21

Some schools will be shut

and roads closed in parts

0:05:210:05:23

of the UK this morning.

0:05:230:05:25

Overnight it was freezing,

with temperatures as low as minus 8!

0:05:250:05:28

Now that's cold!

0:05:280:05:29

Yesterday parts of Scotland,

eastern England,

0:05:290:05:30

and Kent had the first

snowfall of winter!

0:05:300:05:32

Another five centimetres could fall

in some areas today.

0:05:320:05:37

Now for any of you who have

had some snow recently,

0:05:370:05:40

what's the first thing you did?

0:05:400:05:42

Something a bit like this perhaps.

0:05:420:05:47

Here are giant pandas Aoyun

and Yunyun having a play.

0:05:470:05:49

Look at them go, panda-monium!

0:05:490:05:53

So glad I got to say that!

0:05:530:05:54

Whitney's back this afternoon.

0:05:540:05:55

Have a great day at school.

0:05:550:06:01
