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!
