Hi, I'm Leah and you're live with Monday's Newsround. Stick around for

some of this... Kelly Gallagher, our first ever

Winter Paralympic gold medallist at! We hear from Team GB's brand-new

skiing superstar, and... Join us as we investigate the world

of robots. First, Kelly Gallagher, from Bangor

in Northern Ireland, made history in Sochi today as she won Britain's

first ever Paralympic gold at a Winter Games, with victory in the

visually-impaired Super-G skiing. It takes Britain past their medal

target already, just a few days into the Games. So just how do you speed

down a slippery mountainside, when you can barely see where you're

going? Jenny has been finding out. Meet Kelly Gallagher, Britain's

newest skiing superstar. It has not sunk in yet. What can I say? We have

worked so hard for this and it has finally come, we have just targeted

gold. Kelly has limited sight but that does not stop her from hurtling

down the slopes at more than 60mph, following her guide, Charlotte

Evans, who wears a brightly coloured Abe and talks heard down the course

using earphones and microphones. I dreamt so hard about being in the

centre on the podium. We have always been second and third, all of the

time. And then this season we started winning more races. So

today, we get to stand in the centre. And with another British

girl on the podium. It is cool. Sticking with Great Britain and

sport, today is Commonwealth Day. In the build-up to the summer's Glasgow

Games, the Queen's baton is touring all 70 countries of the

Commonwealth. So far it's been through India, Australia, the

Falkland Islands and Africa on its epic journey and today is in its

44th country, Grenada in the Caribbean. The BBC's Mark Beaumont

joins us live from the capital, St George's. Mark, has Grenada given

the baton a big welcome? Yes, I am in grenade. It is a small

and windy island in the Caribbean, where about 100,000 people live. I

am here because the Commonwealth Queen 's battle is visiting. Lots of

people to see it, especially lots of children. In the last week, it has

been to the Falkland Islands, Guyana and Barbados, as it visits the 17

nations and territories which make up the Commonwealth, more than 2

billion people. This is all in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games,

in Glasgow, Scotland, this summer. Today is a day, because it is

Commonwealth Day. Queen Elizabeth II sent a message this morning to the

entire Commonwealth, bringing them together. The Queen's Baton Relay is

on from here, through North America and Europe, and gets back to the

British Isles on the 11th of May. Thanks very much, Mark. Next,

Robots. All this week we're going robot-tastic on Newsround. We're

looking at how the science of robotics is evolving, and how our

mechanical mates are having more and more of an impact on our world, and

our lives. Here's Ricky with a look into the future.

Ricky, welcome. Robotics has been around for 50-60 years. That is the

kind of robots that we have in factories and warehouses, undersea,

even on planets. But what is happening right now is the kind of

second wave. We have this explosion of new shapes, designs, materials.

The way I ain't it is that the second wave is of biological. Many

of these new wave robot 's are modelled on animals. I want to find

out what else is in store. Some of them come into space with us and we

hope that one day they will help us to build colonies on the moon or on

Mars. Here on earth they will be helping older people at home, and

also, the toys that we get to play without going to be so much more

exciting. They will be learning to learn with us, maybe do our homework

with us. I will be exploring the robots living with us, learning with

us, and checking out the very latest humanoids.

Thanks, Ricky - and guys, if YOU could build a robot, what would it

look like, and what job would it do? Head to the website and send us your

robot designs. That's it from
