Good afternoon, it's Leah here live on CBBC with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:00.

Stayed tuned to see the freezing cold temperatures hitting New York.

:00:07.:00:12.

And unearthing the secrets of the Bronze Age.

:00:13.:00:25.

First today, thousands of junior doctors around England haven't gone

:00:26.:00:27.

Instead they've been on strike for the first time

:00:28.:00:30.

It has meant that thousands of operations have had to be cancelled.

:00:31.:00:42.

It's because they're unhappy about new plans

:00:43.:00:44.

Junior doctors across England today have gone on strike.

:00:45.:00:47.

ALL: No ifs, no buts, no junior doctor cuts.

:00:48.:00:49.

Meaning they're not going to work, and it's all because they want

:00:50.:00:52.

to protest against the Government over the amount of hours they have

:00:53.:00:55.

Junior doctors are newer doctors, still training, but they still work

:00:56.:01:00.

in hospitals and local surgeries treating patients.

:01:01.:01:05.

They say new ways of working planned by the Government are unfair

:01:06.:01:08.

and could make things dangerous for patients because they will be

:01:09.:01:11.

None of us want to go on strike, but we are that worried that we have

:01:12.:01:17.

done it, so I think we have come here today with the hope that we can

:01:18.:01:21.

show everyone our concern, and that people will listen to that.

:01:22.:01:26.

The Government say that the plans are fair, and it means things

:01:27.:01:29.

will improve for people who go to hospitals,

:01:30.:01:30.

In the end, this is a completely unnecessary dispute.

:01:31.:01:36.

We have some disagreements with the BMA over pay,

:01:37.:01:39.

but we all want to promise every patient who uses the NHS the promise

:01:40.:01:42.

of the same high quality care every day of the week.

:01:43.:01:48.

The strike will last until 8am on Wednesday morning,

:01:49.:01:53.

but doctors are still working in Accident and Emergency wards,

:01:54.:01:55.

and any people who need to go to hospital will still be treated.

:01:56.:02:00.

In case of emergencies, though, people should still dial 999.

:02:01.:02:03.

If the two sides can't agree, there are more strikes planned

:02:04.:02:05.

To southern India, where fisherman have rescued whales that had become

:02:06.:02:14.

They were able to get at least 36 short-finned whales back

:02:15.:02:19.

Marine biologists say the group may have

:02:20.:02:21.

We're being told to prepare for colder weather that's coming

:02:22.:02:27.

this week, but it's nothing compared to the icy blast

:02:28.:02:30.

That turned this car into a giant icicle.

:02:31.:02:36.

Forecasters are predicting three days of extreme snow and ice,

:02:37.:02:39.

with some parts expected to see around two feet of snow

:02:40.:02:41.

Sport now, and he's been voted best player in the world

:02:42.:02:49.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi picked up Fifa's top prize,

:02:50.:02:54.

the Ballon d'Or award, after scoring 52 goals in just 61

:02:55.:02:57.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo came second, with Brazilian striker

:02:58.:03:02.

Archaeologists are excited about a discovery of what's thought

:03:03.:03:09.

to be some of the best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings in Britain.

:03:10.:03:12.

Under this massive quarry in Cambridgeshire is a taste

:03:13.:03:17.

of what life was like 3,000 years ago.

:03:18.:03:22.

This is Must Farm, and back in the Bronze Age, several families

:03:23.:03:29.

They say this be the best ever example of Bronze Age homes

:03:30.:03:34.

It's so significant that we are having to come up

:03:35.:03:42.

with new questions about what we might learn from the site.

:03:43.:03:45.

I'm already building a picture here of a society from 3000 years

:03:46.:03:48.

ago that feels like it was just yesterday in that sense.

:03:49.:03:50.

A massive fire destroyed this site at the time,

:03:51.:03:53.

and the buildings collapsed into the river.

:03:54.:03:56.

But it's actually helped to preserve the homes in such a good state.

:03:57.:03:59.

What really excites the team here is that some of these artefacts

:04:00.:04:02.

are so well preserved, they offer an insight

:04:03.:04:04.

into what domestic life was like all those years ago.

:04:05.:04:09.

So, there is a dagger just here, and then there is this sort,

:04:10.:04:14.

and if you just look at these clay pots, they are in such good

:04:15.:04:18.

condition, somebody has left their dinner inside.

:04:19.:04:20.

It doesn't look that appetising now, but I bet it was at the time.

:04:21.:04:25.

Once the team are done here, all the items will be packed off

:04:26.:04:28.

to a museum so we can learn more about our prehistoric past.

:04:29.:04:32.

It's starlings flying in the skies of southern Israel.

:04:33.:04:44.

It's called a murmuration, and they do it to help each other

:04:45.:04:47.

The changing shape confuses any would-be attackers.

:04:48.:04:51.

Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7.40 with Ayshah.

:04:52.:04:55.
