0:00:08 > 0:00:14Hi there, I'm Martin and you're watching Newsround.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16First up, thousands of homes across the UK
0:00:16 > 0:00:18are still without water.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21It's because of a water shortage and it's meant some
0:00:21 > 0:00:28schools have had to shut.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29It's been pretty cold recently.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Freezing, in fact.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35And while that's great for sledging and snowball fights,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38now it's getting warmer, it is causing problems, like this.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Leaking and burst water pipes.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Thousands of homes still don't have running water.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49In parts of London, people are relying on bottled water.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51It is the same for people affected in the south of England
0:00:51 > 0:00:55and some parts of Wales and Scotland, too.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56The companies which supply the water have apologised
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and say they are working to fix the problems.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But some schools have had to shut and people are being asked to be
0:01:02 > 0:01:07careful with the amount of water they use.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13So it might mean another day without a bath.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16With all the snow recently, lots of you have probably been doing
0:01:16 > 0:01:20this, but one girl has added a bit of a twist by clearing up
0:01:20 > 0:01:21rubbish at the same time.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Check this out!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Meet Amelia.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30She's eight and loves sledging.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But hates all the rubbish people leave behind,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35like these broken sleds.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40So she is on a mission to clear up Norwich's sledge trash.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I was worried about the children because if they were sledging,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46they could cut themselves.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I was really sad because an animal could get its head stuck in here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Lots of people heard about Amelia's big clean-up and came out to help,
0:01:53 > 0:02:00including this trash-fighting hero.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Remember Nadia, also known as Trash Girl,
0:02:02 > 0:02:07who became famous for picking up litter in Norwich on her bike?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The fact that Amelia has done something about it is
0:02:11 > 0:02:13really, really good.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15And Amelia's dad is helping out, too.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18She likes being outside and I think anything that spoils
0:02:18 > 0:02:20being outside for her, like rubbish and litter,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23she wants to do something about it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I just thought that everyone was good and cared about nature,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31but apparently they don't.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32It is getting heavy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'm not surprised.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36There is loads of stuff in there.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38This rubbish doesn't stand a chance with not one,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40but two Trash Girls and their gang of helpers clearing up.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It has been good because I get to meet someone who's
0:02:43 > 0:02:44inspired by what I do.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I'm really happy today because I met my hero.
0:02:48 > 0:02:56So, rubbish of Norwich, watch out, Trash Girls are coming to get you!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Here on Newsround, we've been travelling the country to hear some
0:03:01 > 0:03:03of your amazing stories.
0:03:03 > 0:03:11This week we're hearing from Nasser who likes to beatbox.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12HE BEAT BOXES.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Shorty.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Different.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Immigrant.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24These are the words that I have been labelled as.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But I am so much more.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I have been beat boxing for three years now.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I think I am actually quite good at it.
0:03:32 > 0:03:40HE BEAT BOXES.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I have been dancing since I was five.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And I am also a brother.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47A very protective brother.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I always try to take care of my sisters in any way possible.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I was eight or nine I first experienced racism.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58But after that, it kept on going on and on and I felt
0:03:58 > 0:04:03a little bit depressed.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06It kind of like puts you down when people talk to you like that.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09If you have ever experienced something like I have,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12choose your friends wisely.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The friends that are going to help you get through tough times,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18the friends who are always going to pick you up
0:04:18 > 0:04:19and you are down.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Friends who are always going to help you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Because those are the friends who are going to be with you for life.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Right now in life, I feel amazing.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Honestly, I think my future is going to be bright.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33But there are always bumps in the way.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now take a look at this, it's not your average egg!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38But it did come from a chicken.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43The farm owners in Queensland in Australia were so egg-cited
0:04:43 > 0:04:47when they cracked the giant egg open and there was another egg in there!
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Amazing!
0:04:52 > 0:04:53That's it from me.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Ricky's back in the morning.
