Hi there. I'm Leah with your last Newsround update of the day. First, | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
all day we've been talking about the extreme weather battering parts of | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
America as well as the UK. The United States has been hit by a | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
blast of air from the Arctic which has created some of its coldest | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
weather in 20 years. And over here, giant waves and flooding have caused | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
chaos in parts of the country. Last month was the stormiest in the UK | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
for more than 40 years. Could this bad weather across the globe be | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
linked? Ayshah went to ask weather expert Simon King. At the moment | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
we've got colder towards the north with warm air coming from the south. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
As they meet we have the jet stream which is a bigger conveyor belt of | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
air and what happens is storms develop and come across the United | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Kingdom. That's what we've had over the last couple of weeks. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Next, imagine becoming an astronaut or helping launch a rocket into | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
space. I'm sure these sound like dream jobs to some of you but the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
good news is they might not be impossible dreams. The Chancellor, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
George Osborne, who is in charge of the country's money, says he wants | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
the UK space industry to treble over the next 20 years. That should mean | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
loads more jobs for when you grow up, whether it's helping to send up | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
the satellites that make mobile phones work or making devices like | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
this one to map the stars. Well, earlier today Ricky spoke to | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
two girls whose school science projects were about to get sent into | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
space. Mine is looking at antibiotics and | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
we're going to see whether the medicine works better or worse in | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
space. You are working on something | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
fascinating. It's a single organism that acts | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
like it has a brain that will grow to have a food source. We hope that | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
it will grow 3-dimensional leave. How do you feel knowing that | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
something you have worked on is going to be looked at in space? | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
It's absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the results. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Really, really surreal. Next, take a look at this driver | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
caught on a police safety camera in Yorkshire. The 36-year-old man | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
drives his car for about 30 seconds with both hands behind his head at | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
62 mph. In court, he argued he was in control of the car but was found | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
guilty of dangerous driving. Head online to see the amazing | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
pictures from an ice festival in China where sculptors have made a | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
whole city from ice. And you can also play our quiz. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
That's all from me. Newsround's back bright and early tomorrow. | :02:57. | :03:01. |
