Good morning, it's Whitney here

with your Sunday morning Newsround.

0:00:120:00:15

First up, we're talking snow!

0:00:150:00:21

More is predicted today

across Wales, the Midlands,

0:00:210:00:23

northern and eastern England,

with up to ten centimetres

0:00:230:00:25

expected on higher ground.

0:00:250:00:26

Weather warnings are also in place

for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:00:260:00:33

It looks like it might be time

to get that sledge out!

0:00:330:00:35

And while I'm stuck

in the studio with no snow,

0:00:350:00:38

I'd like to see your snow pics.

0:00:380:00:40

Head online and send

us your best snow snaps.

Now there was a big shock yesterday

in the Premier League as West Ham,

0:00:420:00:45

who are in the relegation zone,

beat last year's

0:00:450:00:47

champions Chelsea 1-0.

0:00:470:00:49

A lightening-quick start by West Ham

saw them take an early lead

0:00:490:00:51

through Marko Arnautovic,

who scored with this

0:00:510:00:55

excellent finish after

a beautiful bit of play.

0:00:550:00:59

Chelsea had their chances

to equalise but the hammers

0:00:590:01:02

held on for a 1-0 win.

0:01:020:01:04

More football now, and to a young

footballer with a big dream.

0:01:040:01:08

Jessica lives in Liberia

in West Africa, where girls haven't

0:01:080:01:12

traditionally played football -

but she's hoping

0:01:120:01:14

to help change that.

0:01:140:01:20

Hi, my name is Jessica.

0:01:200:01:21

Welcome to my home.

0:01:210:01:25

Jessica's ten years old.

0:01:250:01:27

She lives in West Point, which is

the biggest slum in Liberia.

0:01:270:01:32

This is where I started playing

football when I was six years old.

0:01:320:01:35

She was spotted by a talent

scout and has spent

0:01:350:01:37

the last couple of years

at the Monrovia football academy.

0:01:370:01:42

It's the first one in Africa to take

on both boys and girls.

0:01:420:01:46

In West Africa, the female football

is not well structured,

0:01:460:01:48

but this is what we're trying

to change, to give the girls access

0:01:480:01:51

to opportunities out there.

0:01:510:01:53

When they're playing good football,

they can have opportunities

0:01:530:01:55

of a professional football contract.

0:01:550:01:59

I fell in love with football

because I want to be

0:01:590:02:03

a good football player,

and I love football very much.

0:02:030:02:09

Nearly two thirds of children

in Liberia have never been

0:02:090:02:12

to school, so the academy helps

with learning off the pitch, too.

0:02:120:02:18

Jessica's had the chance to play

in international games,

0:02:180:02:20

and it's her dream to one day be

part of one of Europe's

0:02:200:02:24

biggest clubs, Real Madrid.

0:02:240:02:27

You go, girl!

0:02:270:02:31

Finally, imagine living in a town

where there are more flying

0:02:310:02:33

bats around than people.

0:02:330:02:37

Well that's actually happening

in a town in Australia.

0:02:370:02:39

Charters Towers in Queensland

are currently dealing

0:02:390:02:42

with what looks like a bat invasion.

0:02:420:02:44

Residents have complained

about the noise levels

0:02:440:02:46

and are trying to deal

with the issue by removing trees

0:02:460:02:49

and setting up nets.

0:02:490:02:52

That's all from me -

we'll be back just after 12pm.

0:02:520:02:54

Enjoy the snow if you've got some!
