Hi there, I'm Martin

and you're watching Newsround.

First up, thousands

of homes across the UK

are still without water.

It's because of a water

shortage and it's meant some

schools have had to shut.

It's been pretty cold recently.

Freezing, in fact.

And while that's great for sledging

and snowball fights,

now it's getting warmer,

it is causing problems, like this.

Leaking and burst water pipes.

Thousands of homes still don't

have running water.

In parts of London, people

are relying on bottled water.

It is the same for people affected

in the south of England

and some parts of Wales

and Scotland, too.

The companies which supply

the water have apologised

and say they are working

to fix the problems.

But some schools have had to shut

and people are being asked to be

careful with the amount

of water they use.

So it might mean another

day without a bath.

With all the snow recently,

lots of you have probably been doing

this, but one girl has added a bit

of a twist by clearing up

rubbish at the same time.

Check this out!

Meet Amelia.

She's eight and loves sledging.

But hates all the rubbish

people leave behind,

like these broken sleds.

So she is on a mission to clear up

Norwich's sledge trash.

I was worried about the children

because if they were sledging,

they could cut themselves.

I was really sad because an animal

could get its head stuck in here.

Lots of people heard about Amelia's

big clean-up and came out to help,

including this trash-fighting hero.

Remember Nadia, also

known as Trash Girl,

who became famous for picking up

litter in Norwich on her bike?

The fact that Amelia has done

something about it is

really, really good.

And Amelia's dad

is helping out, too.

She likes being outside and I think

anything that spoils

being outside for her,

like rubbish and litter,

she wants to do something about it.

I just thought that everyone

was good and cared about nature,

but apparently they don't.

It is getting heavy.

I'm not surprised.

There is loads of stuff in there.

This rubbish doesn't stand

a chance with not one,

but two Trash Girls and their gang

of helpers clearing up.

It has been good because I get

to meet someone who's

inspired by what I do.

I'm really happy today

because I met my hero.

So, rubbish of Norwich, watch out,

Trash Girls are coming to get you!

Here on Newsround, we've been

travelling the country to hear some

of your amazing stories.

This week we're hearing from Nasser

who likes to beatbox.

HE BEAT BOXES.

Shorty.

Different.

Immigrant.

These are the words that

I have been labelled as.

But I am so much more.

I have been beat boxing

for three years now.

I think I am actually

quite good at it.

HE BEAT BOXES.

I have been dancing

since I was five.

And I am also a brother.

A very protective brother.

I always try to take care

of my sisters in any way possible.

I was eight or nine I first

experienced racism.

But after that, it kept

on going on and on and I felt

a little bit depressed.

It kind of like puts you down

when people talk to you like that.

If you have ever experienced

something like I have,

choose your friends wisely.

The friends that are going to help

you get through tough times,

the friends who are always

going to pick you up

and you are down.

Friends who are always

going to help you.

Because those are the friends who

are going to be with you for life.

Right now in life, I feel amazing.

Honestly, I think my future

is going to be bright.

But there are always

bumps in the way.

Now take a look at this,

it's not your average egg!

But it did come from a chicken.

The farm owners in Queensland

in Australia were so egg-cited

when they cracked the giant egg open

and there was another egg in there!

Amazing!

That's it from me.

Ricky's back in the morning.
