Hi, I'm Martin with your final

Newsround update this Saturday.

0:00:070:00:10

Here's what I've got

for you in the next few minutes.

0:00:100:00:14

Why these kids are feeling rough

after a sleepover with a difference.

0:00:140:00:19

Plus, the robot who had a very

bad first day at work.

0:00:190:00:22

Keep watching.

0:00:220:00:25

First up, to the Winter Paralympics

in Pyeongchang, and a big well done

0:00:340:00:37

to Millie Knight who has bagged

Paralympic GB's first

0:00:370:00:39

medal of the Games.

0:00:390:00:42

Visually impaired Millie

and her guide, Brett Wild, won

0:00:420:00:44

silver in the downhill ski event.

0:00:440:00:52

Before they headed to Korea,

we caught up with the pair

0:00:520:00:54

to find out more about how

they work together.

0:00:540:00:57

What is it like skiing

visually impaired?

0:00:570:00:58

I would say it is much

easier that I cannot see.

0:00:580:01:01

I ski with Brett who skis

in front of me and we talk

0:01:010:01:04

all the way down the mountain,

you know, what the snow is like,

0:01:040:01:07

what the terrain is like,

and then I will say whether we're

0:01:070:01:10

going too quickly or too slowly.

0:01:100:01:12

The way it works, we are attached

by a Bluetooth headset and I wear

0:01:120:01:15

a bright orange jacket

which stands out.

0:01:150:01:17

I tell Millie everything I can

see, what is coming up,

0:01:170:01:19

a change in terrain,

a change in the course,

0:01:190:01:22

and Millie feeds back if I'm skiing

too fast or too slow,

0:01:220:01:25

if she can see me.

0:01:250:01:27

Is it true your mum

was your first guide?

0:01:270:01:29

Yeah, she was my first guide.

0:01:290:01:30

We actually won a bronze,

which was really exciting but we got

0:01:300:01:33

disqualified in all the others,

but that is fine, we will

0:01:330:01:36

concentrate on the bronze.

0:01:360:01:40

What happened to her?

0:01:400:01:43

My coach said I needed someone more

permanent-slash-faster.

0:01:430:01:45

How do you feel just before a race?

0:01:450:01:50

Brett is normally much better

in the start gate than me.

0:01:500:01:53

He's very calm and relaxed.

0:01:530:01:56

We talk through the course a lot.

0:01:560:02:00

Yes, I keep making sure Millie is OK

because she goes quite quiet

0:02:000:02:03

sometimes in the start gate.

0:02:030:02:04

Because Millie is such a big

Script fan, she stands

0:02:040:02:09

in the start gate and says,

I can be the greatest,

0:02:090:02:12

I can be the best, I can be

the King Kong banging on my chest.

0:02:120:02:16

That is Millie's thing now.

0:02:160:02:17

What message would you have

for other people with

0:02:170:02:19

a visual impairment?

0:02:190:02:20

For me, losing my sight is the best

thing that has ever happened to me.

0:02:200:02:24

Through that, I have got

in the sport, which has totally

0:02:240:02:26

built me as a person.

0:02:260:02:27

I have so much more confidence

through skiing, I have made

0:02:270:02:30

new friends and been to amazing

places, and really, without sport,

0:02:300:02:33

I would not have done that.

0:02:330:02:34

Give any sport a go,

it does not matter which sport

0:02:340:02:37

you do, just try it.

0:02:370:02:41

Next, after the cold weather

and snow of the last few weeks,

0:02:410:02:44

many of us have been thinking

about how to help people

0:02:440:02:46

who are homeless.

0:02:460:02:48

Newsround went to meet a group

of students who've been getting

0:02:480:02:50

a small taste of what it's

like to sleep rough.

0:02:500:02:53

Ladies first.

0:02:530:02:54

OK.

0:02:540:02:56

I was supposed to go first,

and you said ladies...

0:02:560:02:59

Ladies first, on about myself.

0:02:590:03:00

Oh!

0:03:000:03:04

They are having a mass sleep out

in solidarity with young people that

0:03:040:03:07

find themselves homeless.

0:03:070:03:09

We cannot replicate what homeless

people have to go through,

0:03:090:03:12

because nobody should have to go

through that, but we're

0:03:120:03:14

sleeping on the floor,

and the heating is off,

0:03:140:03:18

no phones, no MP3

players, none of that.

0:03:180:03:22

I think the most challenging

thing happening tonight

0:03:220:03:25

is sleeping on the ground,

because like most people, I am

0:03:250:03:29

most used to sleeping on a bed.

0:03:290:03:31

I think the most challenging thing

for me is trying to keep warm.

0:03:310:03:36

Tonight, the thing that I'm

going to miss the most is my family,

0:03:360:03:39

because I usually have them there.

0:03:390:03:41

I think the students will get

a really small flavour of what it

0:03:410:03:44

might be like to sleep

without their home comforts,

0:03:440:03:46

put themselves in the shoes

of someone who is experiencing life

0:03:460:03:48

on the streets.

0:03:480:03:50

I cannot wait till the morning

because I am not going to wake up.

0:03:500:03:53

It is too early.

0:03:530:03:54

And it is the weekend.

0:03:540:04:01

On a scale of one to ten,

it was one, it was awful,

0:04:070:04:10

it was freezing cold,

I was hungry.

0:04:100:04:13

I was about three.

0:04:130:04:14

I was minus five.

0:04:140:04:17

I think if I was uncomfortable

inside, and on a cold wooden floor,

0:04:170:04:21

then how is it for them,

when they do not have

0:04:210:04:24

any sort of shelter?

0:04:240:04:28

It is going to be ten times,

even a hundred times harder

0:04:280:04:31

on people that are sleeping outside

with no home, no room, no shelter.

0:04:310:04:34

More people should be taking

the time to talk to them and try

0:04:340:04:37

and get them out of homelessness.

0:04:370:04:40

I think it has given me the best

insight because there is no other

0:04:400:04:43

experience to make you feel

what they are feeling.

0:04:430:04:49

Next, to the English Premier League,

and the big game happening right now

0:04:490:04:53

between Manchester United

and their fierce rivals Liverpool.

0:04:530:04:56

When these two sides meet

it's always a big game,

0:04:560:05:01

but this particular match is extra

important because Liverpool

0:05:010:05:03

are just two points behind

the Manchester side in the league.

0:05:030:05:07

A win for Jose Mourinho's United

will put them in second place.

0:05:070:05:11

The score at the moment is 2-0

to Manchester United.

0:05:110:05:15

It is actually half-time at the

moment.

0:05:150:05:18

Finally, spare a thought for Flippy

the robot who's had a very bad

0:05:180:05:21

start to his new job.

0:05:210:05:23

The burger-flipping bot was making

meals at a restaurant in California.

0:05:230:05:25

But he was fired

on his very first day.

0:05:250:05:27

Poor Flippy was too slow!

0:05:270:05:29

But it's not the end

for our mechanical friend.

0:05:290:05:31

He's being reprogrammed, and bosses

hope to bring him back soon.

0:05:310:05:36

Head online for more top stories,

and find out how Luke Skywalker

0:05:360:05:38

helped to encourage a young

Star Wars fan to decide

0:05:380:05:41

what to wear to school.

0:05:410:05:45

Pretty cool.

0:05:450:05:46

That's your lot today from me

and the rest of the Newsround team.

0:05:460:05:49

Have a great afternoon.

0:05:490:05:50
