Hi, I'm Leah and you're live with Newsround on CBBC. On today's show:

:00:00.:00:11.

Why this former Strictly Come Dancing champ's making a sporting

:00:12.:00:15.

comeback. And the pig weigh-in for the tiny

:00:16.:00:37.

panda. This is Newsround. Next, a US military helicopter has

:00:38.:00:41.

crashed on the Norfolk coast. It happened last night when the

:00:42.:00:44.

aircraft was carrying out a low flying training exercise. Emergency

:00:45.:00:46.

services say four people have been killed and an investigation into

:00:47.:00:49.

what caused the crash has begun. Accord and has been placed around

:00:50.:00:52.

the scene. This is ordinary procedure in cases like this. It is

:00:53.:01:01.

for the public safety. And if anything in the news upsets

:01:02.:01:05.

you, there's lots of help and advice on our website.

:01:06.:01:13.

South Sudan is the world's newest country. Just two years old, it was

:01:14.:01:16.

hoped its independence from Sudan would bring peace to an area that

:01:17.:01:20.

had endured decades of war. But that's not been the case. For the

:01:21.:01:23.

past three weeks violence has broken out between the government and rebel

:01:24.:01:27.

groups, and there are fears the country could descend in to civil

:01:28.:01:29.

war. South Sudan gained independence in

:01:30.:01:31.

2011 after a war which lasted decades and killed 1.5 million

:01:32.:01:33.

people. Today, the men that fought for their country's independents are

:01:34.:01:38.

now fighting each other. In July, the country's president accused his

:01:39.:01:44.

deputy of trying to seize power, dividing the country's army into two

:01:45.:01:49.

sides. Now those sides are fighting to control the oil fields, which are

:01:50.:01:53.

worth a lot of money. The international community fears the

:01:54.:01:56.

world's newest country is on the brink of civil war. This is where

:01:57.:02:01.

the fiercest fighting is taking place. Villages lie empty as people

:02:02.:02:08.

flee their homes in fear. Estimates say there are about 200,000

:02:09.:02:12.

displaced people in the country, who have moved because of the violence.

:02:13.:02:20.

60% of those are children. Even before the fighting started, South

:02:21.:02:23.

Sudan had a lot of problems. Although the country has lots of

:02:24.:02:27.

oil, most people are poor. One in three have no access to drinking

:02:28.:02:31.

water, and one in every seven children will die before their fifth

:02:32.:02:37.

birthday. However, there is hope the crisis can be resolved. After weeks

:02:38.:02:41.

of uncertainty, the two warring sides have begun face-to-face

:02:42.:02:43.

discussions for the first time and there are hopes the talks will

:02:44.:02:50.

provide a peaceful solution soon. In America, there's been no let up

:02:51.:02:54.

in the cold weather. Now all 50 US states are experiencing freezing

:02:55.:02:56.

temperatures, including New York, Georgia, and Tennessee. It was minus

:02:57.:03:00.

17 degrees Celsius in the small town of Hell, in Michigan. Weather

:03:01.:03:03.

experts say they expect things to get better soon with temperatures

:03:04.:03:06.

starting to rise in the coming days, although in Kentucky an escaped

:03:07.:03:09.

prisoner turned himself in to get out of the cold!

:03:10.:03:17.

It is so cold that I can barely feel my fingers. The thermometer is

:03:18.:03:22.

giving us a reading of 10 Fahrenheit, about -12 Celsius. If

:03:23.:03:29.

you want to get an idea of how cold it really is, take a look at this.

:03:30.:03:33.

We poured water on a T-shirt less than five minutes ago, and now it is

:03:34.:03:39.

completely solid. Sport, and Manchester United

:03:40.:03:41.

suffered their third defeat in a row for the first time in 14 years last

:03:42.:03:46.

night. A Ryan Giggs own goal set them on the way to a 2-1 defeat to

:03:47.:03:50.

Sunderland in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semifinal. Nemanya

:03:51.:03:53.

Vidic had pulled it back to 1-1, but a controversial penalty for

:03:54.:03:56.

Sunderland gave them the win and got United boss David Moyes rather

:03:57.:04:01.

upset. How could the linesman give that? The referee was looking

:04:02.:04:08.

directly at it. The linesman had to look through the defender to give

:04:09.:04:13.

the decision. Can't believe it. And he might have won Strictly Come

:04:14.:04:16.

Dancing during his break from the sport, but gymnast Louis Smith's

:04:17.:04:19.

announced he's making a comeback for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

:04:20.:04:22.

this summer. The three-time Olympic medallist has decided to put off his

:04:23.:04:28.

retirement in order to compete. I have never had more than two weeks

:04:29.:04:33.

of in the sport since the age of four. To have a long time off, it

:04:34.:04:38.

was nice but now it is time to get back in shape.

:04:39.:04:40.

And last up, just enough time to show you some pictures of Bao Bao,

:04:41.:04:44.

the baby panda at the Smithsonian National Zoo in America. Here she is

:04:45.:04:48.

getting her weight checked by staff at the zoo. They're spending lots of

:04:49.:04:51.

time with her to make sure she's used to being in contact with humans

:04:52.:04:55.

and doesn't get scared by them. Bao Bao will make her debut in front of

:04:56.:04:59.

public at the zoo later this month. That is all from me. The team is

:05:00.:05:02.

back here later this afternoon.
