0:00:03 > 0:00:05Good afternoon, guys, Martin here with your Saturday Newsround.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Here's what's coming up.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Brrrr - America suffers one of the coldest nights in its memory.
0:00:12 > 0:00:21There's "snow" arguing that this display is pretty special!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32First, to the east coast of America, where temperatures are expected
0:00:32 > 0:00:34to drop to record lows over the weekend.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The cold snap follows a big storm which dumped huge amounts of snow
0:00:37 > 0:00:39in the area and caused flooding.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41In Boston, this flooded street turned to ice as temperatures
0:00:41 > 0:00:42dropped and trapped cars.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Temperatures are expected to fall to as low as -30 degrees Celsius
0:00:46 > 0:00:47tonight.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And it's so cold that even bubbles are freezing!
0:00:49 > 0:00:55BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan is in New York City.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58The storm brought in this cold air from the Arctic, so in its
0:00:58 > 0:01:01aftermath, we will have these subzero temperatures
0:01:01 > 0:01:04for the next few days.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08It is so cold out here, -10 Celsius, that already I can hardly feel my
0:01:08 > 0:01:14fingers or my toes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Sport next, and England's last chance to get a win in the Ashes
0:01:18 > 0:01:19isn't going very well.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Overnight Australia's batsmen gave England a hard time on the third day
0:01:22 > 0:01:23of the final Test in Sydney.
0:01:23 > 0:01:32Play ended with Australia on 479 for 4, a lead of 133 runs.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34A draw looks like England's best hope.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Now, England may be losing in the cricket again,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but one Brit is definitely flying high in Australia!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41This is Ollie Chitty, and he's just set a new world record
0:01:41 > 0:01:43for the furthest travelled by hang glider.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45He went 388 kilometres, which is like going from
0:01:45 > 0:01:50London to Middlesbrough.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Next, want to know what's going to be big in 2018
0:01:53 > 0:01:54in the world of technology?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Ricky's been taking a closer look at the top tech stories we can
0:01:57 > 0:02:02expect in the year ahead.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Tech fans will be gathering in Las Vegas in America for the annual
0:02:14 > 0:02:18consumer Electronics show. Sounds pretty dull but it is actually where
0:02:18 > 0:02:23the latest gadget get shown off for the first time. Smart speakers will
0:02:23 > 0:02:28certainly be there. The voice activated devices are taking over
0:02:28 > 0:02:31our homes will stop with a simple command, you can get things done.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You can ask the speakers to play music, tell it to research some
0:02:35 > 0:02:39homework and check the weather forecast before you leave the house.
0:02:39 > 0:02:48Google and Amazon have already sold millions of their smart speakers,
0:02:48 > 0:02:54and Apple will join them shortly. Virtual reality hasn't really taken
0:02:54 > 0:03:00off. That could be because they are still pretty pricey. This year,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04oculus rift will release the oculus go, much cheaper than their previous
0:03:04 > 0:03:08models. The all in one headset doesn't need to be linked up to a
0:03:08 > 0:03:14console or a phone to work. Could these robots end up in our homes?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18This is spot many. The robot acts a little bit like a dog. The company
0:03:18 > 0:03:22that makes them things they would be a good addition to homes and
0:03:22 > 0:03:30offices. Last up, millions of people have bought Nintendo's latest
0:03:30 > 0:03:33console, the Switch. Rumours of a miniature version have been doing
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the rounds online, and as ever, everyone wants to know when the next
0:03:36 > 0:03:46PlayStation will be out. Could 2018 be the year of the PS5?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Now, here's some art with a difference -
0:03:47 > 0:03:50the whole thing is made out of ice!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Artists have created these amazing ice buildings
0:03:53 > 0:03:55for the opening of the Ice and Snow Sculpture
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Festival in China.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Tens of thousands of visitors will come and visit the park
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and they can wander around all the chilly attractions
0:04:01 > 0:04:05while they're all lit up at night.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10And speaking of China, here's a sight you don't see very often.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11On Newsround we often show you pictures of
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Pandas in sanctuaries - because until recently they've been
0:04:14 > 0:04:15endangered for many years.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Well, here's some very rare video of a Giant Panda in the wild.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It was filmed looking for food near a village in southwest
0:04:20 > 0:04:26China's Sishuan Province.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It strolled around for about 10 minutes before disappearing
0:04:28 > 0:04:32back into the forest.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Now, have you got time for a snowbound moose,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36chilled-out swimmers and a squirrel going nuts?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Course you have!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's strange.
0:04:40 > 0:04:47When this moose made the "moosetake" of getting caught in a snow drift,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51it was left down to some helpful hikers who happened to be passing
0:04:51 > 0:04:54with some spades to get the snowbound moose back on his way.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It "moosed" have been relieved to get out of that sticky
0:04:56 > 0:04:58situation.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02There's nothing I love more than chilling out, but these
0:05:02 > 0:05:04guys prefer to chill out in a totally different way.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06There are in America, raising money for charity
0:05:06 > 0:05:08by running into this icy lake.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11One thing that might surprise you is that the lake is actually warmer
0:05:11 > 0:05:14than it is on the shore.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21These police officers have been called to
0:05:21 > 0:05:23deal with the pretty dangerous intruder at a house in America.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It's a squirrel.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27This raucous rodent has been causing problems in the house,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30and the scared owner called the police to come and deal with.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Well, it's off to prison for you, Mr Squirrel.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Only joking - they don't send squirrels to prison.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Do they?
0:05:35 > 0:05:43That would be nuts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Naughty squirrel!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51That's it from us for today.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Newsround's back at half past ten tomorrow.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Have a great afternoon, guys!
