Good afternoon, it's

Whitney here with your

0:00:180:00:20

Saturday morning Newsround.

0:00:200:00:21

Now, if you're heading out today,

make sure you wrap up

0:00:210:00:24

warm because winter

0:00:240:00:25

has definitley arrived.

0:00:250:00:26

Snow has been falling

0:00:260:00:27

in parts of Scotland,

Northern Ireland, Wales,

0:00:270:00:28

and Northern England,

and temperatures could

0:00:280:00:30

drop to as low as -6.

0:00:300:00:31

And the weather is due to get

even worse on Sunday.

0:00:310:00:34

Looks like it's time

to get your sledges out, guys.

0:00:340:00:38

Next up, US President Donald Trump

has declared a state of emergency

0:00:380:00:41

in Southern California

because the wildfires

0:00:410:00:42

are spreading fast.

0:00:420:00:44

Firefighters are still

having to battle

0:00:440:00:53

the blazes and more

than 200,000 people have had

0:00:530:00:55

to leave their homes.

0:00:550:00:56

Thousands of buildings

have also been damaged.

0:00:560:00:58

Next, if you're from a country

in the European Union

0:00:580:01:00

but you are living in the UK,

or if you are British and living

0:01:000:01:03

in a country in the European Union,

we've got some big news for you.

0:01:030:01:07

Here's what you need to know.

0:01:070:01:08

So, the UK is leaving a club of 28

countries called the European Union.

0:01:080:01:11

A lot of people have

called this Brexit.

0:01:110:01:13

When British people voted to leave

last year, it wasn't clear

0:01:130:01:16

what would happen to the 3 million

people from the EU who

0:01:160:01:19

live here in Britain.

0:01:190:01:24

And also, what would

happen to British people

0:01:240:01:26

living in EU countries.

0:01:260:01:31

And that got some people worried.

0:01:310:01:35

But now the British government

and the European Union have agreed

0:01:350:01:38

that everyone will be allowed

to carry on living and working

0:01:380:01:41

where they are now.

0:01:410:01:46

The two sides say they have also

come to an agreement about

0:01:460:01:49

the border between Northern Ireland

and the Republic of Ireland.

0:01:490:01:51

This issue has caused big problems,

and the details still

0:01:510:01:53

need to be worked out.

0:01:530:01:57

And finally, it has also been agreed

that when the UK leaves,

0:01:570:01:59

it will pay money to the EU.

0:01:590:02:02

Although it is not yet known

how much that will be,

0:02:020:02:05

it is likely to cost tens

of billions of pounds.

0:02:050:02:11

So that is Brexit all sorted, then?

0:02:110:02:12

Well, not quite.

0:02:120:02:16

Even though the two sides have

agreed on these three big issues,

0:02:160:02:19

there are still loads of things

we will need to sort out before

0:02:190:02:22

the UK leaves the EU in 2019.

0:02:220:02:27

Next to a guest who

is out of this world.

0:02:270:02:30

Astronaut Tim Peake came

into the studio yesterday to answer

0:02:300:02:32

some of your questions.

0:02:320:02:33

Take a look.

0:02:330:02:36

This is no longer Newsround HQ.

0:02:360:02:39

Just for a moment,

this is Mission Control

0:02:390:02:40

and that's because we have a very

special guest who is about to join

0:02:400:02:44

all of us here.

0:02:440:02:49

Are you guys ready?

0:02:490:02:50

Yes!

0:02:500:02:51

I think they're ready.

0:02:510:02:52

It is the one, the only,

it's Tim Peake.

0:02:520:02:55

Hi, guys.

0:02:550:02:57

Hiya.

0:02:570:02:58

That is wonderful, Tim.

0:02:580:03:00

Ayshah, lovely to meet you.

0:03:000:03:01

Welcome to Newsround.

0:03:010:03:03

Thank you very much.

0:03:030:03:04

Take a seat right here for us.

0:03:040:03:05

Thank you.

0:03:050:03:06

Tim, thank you so much

for joining us at

0:03:060:03:09

Newsround HQ.

0:03:090:03:10

Let's go straight in to the first

question right here.

0:03:100:03:12

What do you miss most about space?

0:03:120:03:14

Two things, really.

0:03:140:03:15

I think the first thing I miss

is weightlessness, you know,

0:03:150:03:17

floating around in space

and the second thing

0:03:170:03:19

is the view of Planet Earth.

0:03:190:03:21

And I know we have a

great question here

0:03:210:03:23

as well.

0:03:230:03:24

What's your question?

0:03:240:03:25

If you were to name

a new planet, what

0:03:250:03:27

would you name it?

0:03:270:03:28

I'd have to see it first.

0:03:280:03:30

I think you've got to see

something to be able to come

0:03:300:03:32

up with a name.

0:03:320:03:33

But, yeah, I mean, there's loads

of new planets out there

0:03:330:03:36

and there's loads

of potential for it.

0:03:360:03:38

What about you?

0:03:380:03:39

What's your question?

0:03:390:03:40

So, what differences

in, like, experiences

0:03:400:03:47

So, what differences in,

like, experience is

0:03:470:03:49

there from Earth's

atmosphere to zero gravity?

0:03:490:03:50

Wow.

0:03:500:03:51

I mean, coming back

into Earth's atmosphere is

0:03:510:03:53

incredible.

0:03:530:03:54

You get the re-entry,

you get the heat, the deceleration.

0:03:540:03:57

Up in space it's really liberating.

0:03:570:03:58

You're just floating around

and seeing the stars

0:03:580:04:00

at night and the Earth

by day, it's beautiful.

0:04:000:04:02

I'm going to squeeze one more in.

0:04:020:04:04

What's your question?

0:04:040:04:05

Who or what was your

inspiration to become an

0:04:050:04:07

amazing astronaut?

0:04:070:04:08

Well, I've had a lot

of inspirational characters

0:04:080:04:10

throughout my life and the first

thing I wanted to do was become a

0:04:100:04:13

pilot, test pilot.

0:04:130:04:14

So people like Chuck

Yeager and reading books

0:04:140:04:16

like The Right Stuff for me

was very inspirational.

0:04:160:04:20

Now to a lovely tale of a police

officer who rescued a dog

0:04:200:04:23

after Hurricane Irma.

0:04:230:04:24

He's now brought him back to the UK

from the British Virgin Islands.

0:04:240:04:30

Meet Buddy, the lucky labrador cross

who is now living in the UK.

0:04:300:04:33

Sit.

0:04:330:04:35

Good boy.

0:04:350:04:37

Buddy is a stray.

0:04:370:04:39

He won the heart of a police

officer called John Harvey.

0:04:390:04:42

John was sent from Suffolk Police

to the British Virgin Islands.

0:04:420:04:45

He was sent there to help people

after the devastation

0:04:450:04:47

of Hurricane Irma.

0:04:470:04:48

He put his paws around my thigh

and just wouldn't let me go, really.

0:04:480:04:51

So I was trying to leave,

and he was walking

0:04:510:04:54

with me on his back legs.

0:04:540:04:55

And I just thought I'd

like to bring him home, if I can,

0:04:550:04:58

and give him a chance

of a better life, really.

0:04:580:05:02

Buddy spent 21 days in Washington DC

in the US, where vets checked

0:05:020:05:05

that he was healthy and fit,

before he was allowed

0:05:050:05:07

to travel on to the UK.

0:05:070:05:12

It was fantastic, really,

really good to see him.

0:05:120:05:14

He was excited, I was excited.

0:05:140:05:15

And it was kind of the start

of the next chapter.

0:05:150:05:19

The pair are now happily

settling in, ready for

0:05:190:05:21

new adventures together.

0:05:210:05:23

But it can all get a bit exhausting.

0:05:230:05:24

BUDDY SNORES.

0:05:240:05:30

Finally, the Harlem Globetrotters

are known for their incredible

0:05:300:05:32

basketball skills and to celebrate

World Trickshot Day,

0:05:320:05:34

one of the players leaned

from the window of a bus parked

0:05:340:05:37

on the roof of an art museum

in St Louis and shot a basketball

0:05:370:05:40

through a hoop on the street below.

0:05:400:05:42

And here's the shot.

0:05:420:05:46

Amazeballs, but of course, guys,

do not try this at home.

0:05:460:05:49

Let's leave it to the professionals.

0:05:490:05:51

That's all from me, we'll be back

just after 1 o'clock.

0:05:510:05:53

Bye!
