0:00:06 > 0:00:11It's a great Mothers Day for this rare gorilla.

0:00:11 > 0:00:19Plus the footie-mad robots who learn as they play.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27First, at the Paralympic Winter Olympics in PyeongChang

0:00:27 > 0:00:30the medals keep coming.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Paralympics GB picked up silver and bronze on day two of the games.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36The BBC's Kate Grey is there.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, Newsround.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's been another brilliant day for Paralympics GB

0:00:40 > 0:00:43here in Pyeongchang.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Two medals to add to the silver that they won yesterday

0:00:46 > 0:00:49and it was Millie Knight who won that silver medal yesterday that has

0:00:49 > 0:00:52won another silver today with her guide Brett Wild.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's been quite emotional.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Even on the podium yesterday, it was quite hard not

0:00:57 > 0:01:00to tear up a little bit.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Yeah, it's been a struggle to get here and I can't believe this

0:01:03 > 0:01:11Hello, Newsround.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15is what is hanging round our neck.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Absolutely.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Those silver medals are quite special.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Brett, your first Paralympic Games.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20This is a pretty good way to go.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Yes.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22It's unbelievable.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's such an honour just to be here.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27To come away now, two races, two medals, it's absolutely fantastic.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29And they beat their team-mates Menna Fitzpatrick and Jen Kehoe

0:01:29 > 0:01:32who took the bronze but amazingly they fell in the downhill yesterday

0:01:32 > 0:01:35and had to recover, refocus and they did admit it had been

0:01:35 > 0:01:37a nervous 24 hours coming into this Super-G.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39It's definitely been an emotional 24 hours.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Lots of crying happening.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Today, they were good tears, thankfully.

0:01:42 > 0:01:49Yesterday, we just had a little bit too much speed, unfortunately.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52And we came in with 90 kilometres an hour into the fourth gate

0:01:52 > 0:01:58which isn't even the fastest part.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01So, it was just unfortunate that we fell and we then turned it

0:02:01 > 0:02:03around, definitely, for today.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, it will be a rest day for the Alpine skiers tomorrow

0:02:06 > 0:02:08but it will be the start of the snowboarding event.

0:02:08 > 0:02:14So another exciting day expected on day three.

0:02:14 > 0:02:21It's big smiles all round for Ireland rugby fans today.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23They are Six Nations champions with a game to spare.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's after their win in Dublin and England's

0:02:25 > 0:02:26loss in Paris to France.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Let's have a look at how it all went down.

0:02:31 > 0:02:37Celebrations starting a week early. Jacob Stockdale made the most of a

0:02:37 > 0:02:42mistake from Scotland early on. Before half time he had his second

0:02:42 > 0:02:55try and by the end of the match Ireland were feeling fine.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59But they didn't know at this point, what was going to happen

0:02:59 > 0:03:00in the match in Paris.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01England needed four tries against France

0:03:01 > 0:03:04to keep up with Ireland.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09But it didn't look like they were going to come close at all.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13We were beaten at the breakdown, we gave

0:03:13 > 0:03:14We were beaten at the breakdown, we gave away 16 penalties which is far

0:03:14 > 0:03:19too many and when we got momentum, we didn't converted two points and

0:03:19 > 0:03:26they did. It seems like a long way away but it's not. You go through

0:03:26 > 0:03:29these periods as a team. We're going through a difficult period but we

0:03:29 > 0:03:34will get through it.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Next week England are taking on Ireland at home at Twickenham.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40the Six Nations Champions will be looking for a grand slam

0:03:40 > 0:03:42which is when one side wins every game in the competition.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46And England will be hoping to redeem themselves and maybe ruin the party

0:03:46 > 0:03:48for them just a little bit.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50We'd love to hear from you about this one.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53If you're an Ireland fan - how are you celebrating?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56And if you support one of the other sides, how do you feel today?

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Head online to let us know.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Next, someone who's having a really special Mothers Day.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06It's a rare western lowland gorilla with her new baby

0:04:06 > 0:04:08who's thought to be a week old.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10These animals are critically endangered with only

0:04:10 > 0:04:14100,000 of them left in the wild.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Pictures like these, captured taken at a National Park

0:04:16 > 0:04:24in Congo, central Africa, are really rare.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Well, we asked you to tell us about the the amazing women

0:04:29 > 0:04:31in your life this Mother's Day.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Here's what some of you had to say.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Izzy in Orpington says she's spending the day with her mum,

0:04:35 > 0:04:36grandparents and dad and brother.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38They're having a day at home.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Nelly says her family will be celebrating Mum who she thinks cooks

0:04:41 > 0:04:42the most amazing dinners or lunches.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46And Lachlan's also celebrating Mother's Day with his whole family.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49He says his mum is really special because she takes him

0:04:49 > 0:04:56to places he's never been.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02Brilliant messages. Still time to send some online.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Robots that think for themselves,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06sound futuristic but they're are already here and the process

0:05:06 > 0:05:07is called artificial intelligence.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Martin has more.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11Meet the football playing robots.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14They're not being operated by remote control.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19These techie sports stars can make decisions for themselves.

0:05:19 > 0:05:25Scientists at the University of Texas have programmed the robots

0:05:25 > 0:05:27to do use artificial intelligence to have a good old kickabout.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29These guys are in training for a big contest.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32The robot World Cup.

0:05:32 > 0:05:38Like this one held in Germany two years ago.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42They are able to learn from their mistakes and improve

0:05:42 > 0:05:44their game each time they play.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Rather than turn taking, everybody's moving at the same time.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49If you take too long about what to do when you're

0:05:49 > 0:05:53about to pass the ball the opponents can take the ball away from you.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I thought these guys have got what it takes

0:05:55 > 0:05:56to make it to the finals.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Once they learn to stay on the feet, that is.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03That's it for now.
