Hi, I'm Martin with your final

Newsround update this Saturday.

Here's what I've got

for you in the next few minutes.

Why these kids are feeling rough

after a sleepover with a difference.

Plus, the robot who had a very

bad first day at work.

Keep watching.

First up, to the Winter Paralympics

in Pyeongchang, and a big well done

to Millie Knight who has bagged

Paralympic GB's first

medal of the Games.

Visually impaired Millie

and her guide, Brett Wild, won

silver in the downhill ski event.

Before they headed to Korea,

we caught up with the pair

to find out more about how

they work together.

What is it like skiing

visually impaired?

I would say it is much

easier that I cannot see.

I ski with Brett who skis

in front of me and we talk

all the way down the mountain,

you know, what the snow is like,

what the terrain is like,

and then I will say whether we're

going too quickly or too slowly.

The way it works, we are attached

by a Bluetooth headset and I wear

a bright orange jacket

which stands out.

I tell Millie everything I can

see, what is coming up,

a change in terrain,

a change in the course,

and Millie feeds back if I'm skiing

too fast or too slow,

if she can see me.

Is it true your mum

was your first guide?

Yeah, she was my first guide.

We actually won a bronze,

which was really exciting but we got

disqualified in all the others,

but that is fine, we will

concentrate on the bronze.

What happened to her?

My coach said I needed someone more

permanent-slash-faster.

How do you feel just before a race?

Brett is normally much better

in the start gate than me.

He's very calm and relaxed.

We talk through the course a lot.

Yes, I keep making sure Millie is OK

because she goes quite quiet

sometimes in the start gate.

Because Millie is such a big

Script fan, she stands

in the start gate and says,

I can be the greatest,

I can be the best, I can be

the King Kong banging on my chest.

That is Millie's thing now.

What message would you have

for other people with

a visual impairment?

For me, losing my sight is the best

thing that has ever happened to me.

Through that, I have got

in the sport, which has totally

built me as a person.

I have so much more confidence

through skiing, I have made

new friends and been to amazing

places, and really, without sport,

I would not have done that.

Give any sport a go,

it does not matter which sport

you do, just try it.

Next, after the cold weather

and snow of the last few weeks,

many of us have been thinking

about how to help people

who are homeless.

Newsround went to meet a group

of students who've been getting

a small taste of what it's

like to sleep rough.

Ladies first.

OK.

I was supposed to go first,

and you said ladies...

Ladies first, on about myself.

Oh!

They are having a mass sleep out

in solidarity with young people that

find themselves homeless.

We cannot replicate what homeless

people have to go through,

because nobody should have to go

through that, but we're

sleeping on the floor,

and the heating is off,

no phones, no MP3

players, none of that.

I think the most challenging

thing happening tonight

is sleeping on the ground,

because like most people, I am

most used to sleeping on a bed.

I think the most challenging thing

for me is trying to keep warm.

Tonight, the thing that I'm

going to miss the most is my family,

because I usually have them there.

I think the students will get

a really small flavour of what it

might be like to sleep

without their home comforts,

put themselves in the shoes

of someone who is experiencing life

on the streets.

I cannot wait till the morning

because I am not going to wake up.

It is too early.

And it is the weekend.

On a scale of one to ten,

it was one, it was awful,

it was freezing cold,

I was hungry.

I was about three.

I was minus five.

I think if I was uncomfortable

inside, and on a cold wooden floor,

then how is it for them,

when they do not have

any sort of shelter?

It is going to be ten times,

even a hundred times harder

on people that are sleeping outside

with no home, no room, no shelter.

More people should be taking

the time to talk to them and try

and get them out of homelessness.

I think it has given me the best

insight because there is no other

experience to make you feel

what they are feeling.

Next, to the English Premier League,

and the big game happening right now

between Manchester United

and their fierce rivals Liverpool.

When these two sides meet

it's always a big game,

but this particular match is extra

important because Liverpool

are just two points behind

the Manchester side in the league.

A win for Jose Mourinho's United

will put them in second place.

The score at the moment is 2-0

to Manchester United.

It is actually half-time at the

moment.

Finally, spare a thought for Flippy

the robot who's had a very bad

start to his new job.

The burger-flipping bot was making

meals at a restaurant in California.

But he was fired

on his very first day.

Poor Flippy was too slow!

But it's not the end

for our mechanical friend.

He's being reprogrammed, and bosses

hope to bring him back soon.

Head online for more top stories,

and find out how Luke Skywalker

helped to encourage a young

Star Wars fan to decide

what to wear to school.

Pretty cool.

That's your lot today from me

and the rest of the Newsround team.

Have a great afternoon.

Ayshah's here tomorrow.
