Good afternoon, guys, Martin

here with your Saturday Newsround.

0:00:030:00:05

Here's what's coming up.

0:00:050:00:09

Brrrr - America suffers one

of the coldest nights in its memory.

0:00:090:00:12

There's "snow" arguing that this

display is pretty special!

0:00:120:00:21

First, to the east coast of America,

where temperatures are expected

0:00:300:00:32

to drop to record lows

over the weekend.

0:00:320:00:34

The cold snap follows a big storm

which dumped huge amounts of snow

0:00:340:00:37

in the area and caused flooding.

0:00:370:00:39

In Boston, this flooded street

turned to ice as temperatures

0:00:390:00:41

dropped and trapped cars.

0:00:410:00:42

Temperatures are expected to fall

to as low as -30 degrees Celsius

0:00:420:00:46

tonight.

0:00:460:00:47

And it's so cold that even

bubbles are freezing!

0:00:470:00:49

BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan

is in New York City.

0:00:490:00:55

The storm brought in this cold air

from the Arctic, so in its

0:00:550:00:58

aftermath, we will have these

subzero temperatures

0:00:580:01:01

for the next few days.

0:01:010:01:04

It is so cold out here, -10 Celsius,

that already I can hardly feel my

0:01:040:01:08

fingers or my toes.

0:01:080:01:14

Sport next, and England's last

chance to get a win in the Ashes

0:01:140:01:18

isn't going very well.

0:01:180:01:19

Overnight Australia's batsmen gave

England a hard time on the third day

0:01:190:01:22

of the final Test in Sydney.

0:01:220:01:23

Play ended with Australia on 479

for 4, a lead of 133 runs.

0:01:230:01:32

A draw looks like

England's best hope.

0:01:320:01:34

Now, England may be losing

in the cricket again,

0:01:340:01:36

but one Brit is definitely flying

high in Australia!

0:01:360:01:38

This is Ollie Chitty,

and he's just set a new world record

0:01:380:01:41

for the furthest travelled

by hang glider.

0:01:410:01:43

He went 388 kilometres,

which is like going from

0:01:430:01:45

London to Middlesbrough.

0:01:450:01:50

Next, want to know what's

going to be big in 2018

0:01:500:01:53

in the world of technology?

0:01:530:01:54

Ricky's been taking a closer look

at the top tech stories we can

0:01:540:01:57

expect in the year ahead.

0:01:570:02:02

Tech fans will be gathering in Las

Vegas in America for the annual

0:02:090:02:14

consumer Electronics show. Sounds

pretty dull but it is actually where

0:02:140:02:18

the latest gadget get shown off for

the first time. Smart speakers will

0:02:180:02:23

certainly be there. The voice

activated devices are taking over

0:02:230:02:28

our homes will stop with a simple

command, you can get things done.

0:02:280:02:31

You can ask the speakers to play

music, tell it to research some

0:02:310:02:35

homework and check the weather

forecast before you leave the house.

0:02:350:02:39

Google and Amazon have already sold

millions of their smart speakers,

0:02:390:02:48

and Apple will join them shortly.

Virtual reality hasn't really taken

0:02:480:02:54

off. That could be because they are

still pretty pricey. This year,

0:02:540:03:00

oculus rift will release the oculus

go, much cheaper than their previous

0:03:000:03:04

models. The all in one headset

doesn't need to be linked up to a

0:03:040:03:08

console or a phone to work. Could

these robots end up in our homes?

0:03:080:03:14

This is spot many. The robot acts a

little bit like a dog. The company

0:03:140:03:18

that makes them things they would be

a good addition to homes and

0:03:180:03:22

offices. Last up, millions of people

have bought Nintendo's latest

0:03:220:03:30

console, the Switch. Rumours of a

miniature version have been doing

0:03:300:03:33

the rounds online, and as ever,

everyone wants to know when the next

0:03:330:03:36

PlayStation will be out. Could 2018

be the year of the PS5?

0:03:360:03:46

Now, here's some art

with a difference -

0:03:460:03:47

the whole thing is made out of ice!

0:03:470:03:50

Artists have created these

amazing ice buildings

0:03:500:03:53

for the opening of the Ice

and Snow Sculpture

0:03:530:03:55

Festival in China.

0:03:550:03:56

Tens of thousands of visitors

will come and visit the park

0:03:560:03:59

and they can wander around

all the chilly attractions

0:03:590:04:01

while they're all lit up at night.

0:04:010:04:05

And speaking of China, here's

a sight you don't see very often.

0:04:050:04:10

On Newsround we often

show you pictures of

0:04:100:04:11

Pandas in sanctuaries -

because until recently they've been

0:04:110:04:14

endangered for many years.

0:04:140:04:15

Well, here's some very rare video

of a Giant Panda in the wild.

0:04:150:04:18

It was filmed looking for food

near a village in southwest

0:04:180:04:20

China's Sishuan Province.

0:04:200:04:26

It strolled around for about 10

minutes before disappearing

0:04:260:04:28

back into the forest.

0:04:280:04:32

Now, have you got time

for a snowbound moose,

0:04:320:04:34

chilled-out swimmers

and a squirrel going nuts?

0:04:340:04:36

Course you have!

0:04:360:04:37

It's strange.

0:04:370:04:40

When this moose made the "moosetake"

of getting caught in a snow drift,

0:04:400:04:47

it was left down to some helpful

hikers who happened to be passing

0:04:470:04:51

with some spades to get

the snowbound moose back on his way.

0:04:510:04:54

It "moosed" have been relieved

to get out of that sticky

0:04:540:04:56

situation.

0:04:560:04:58

There's nothing I love more

than chilling out, but these

0:04:590:05:02

guys prefer to chill out

in a totally different way.

0:05:020:05:04

There are in America,

raising money for charity

0:05:040:05:06

by running into this icy lake.

0:05:060:05:08

One thing that might surprise you is

that the lake is actually warmer

0:05:080:05:11

than it is on the shore.

0:05:110:05:14

These police officers

have been called to

0:05:190:05:21

deal with the pretty dangerous

intruder at a house in America.

0:05:210:05:23

It's a squirrel.

0:05:230:05:25

This raucous rodent has been causing

problems in the house,

0:05:250:05:27

and the scared owner called

the police to come and deal with.

0:05:270:05:30

Well, it's off to prison

for you, Mr Squirrel.

0:05:300:05:32

Only joking - they don't send

squirrels to prison.

0:05:320:05:34

Do they?

0:05:340:05:35

That would be nuts.

0:05:350:05:43

Naughty squirrel!

0:05:490:05:50

That's it from us for today.

0:05:500:05:51

Newsround's back at half

past ten tomorrow.

0:05:510:05:53

Have a great afternoon, guys!
