0:00:05 > 0:00:07You're live with Newsround, Ayshah here this Monday.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Coming up.

0:00:09 > 0:00:15The latest from the Winter Olympics

0:00:15 > 0:00:23We take a look at one of the biggest parties in the world.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32First, we're off to the Winter Olympics in South Korea, where

0:00:32 > 0:00:36strong winds caused mayhem at the Phoenix Snow Park in Pyeongchang.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38The women's slopestyle final was badly affected

0:00:38 > 0:00:40by the wind conditions.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Britain's Aimee Fuller came 17th and crashed on her second run.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45She was OK though!

0:00:45 > 0:00:48The gold medal went to defending champion Jamie Anderson

0:00:48 > 0:00:50of the United States, who pulled out these

0:00:50 > 0:00:57incredible skills to win.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00It seems nowhere in the world is safe from plastic pollution.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Researchers are worried after finding a huge amount

0:01:03 > 0:01:05of plastic waste is now reaching the Arctic.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here's Ricky.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12From a distance these beautiful shores on the Arctic coastline

0:01:12 > 0:01:16of Norway look pristine, unspoiled.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20Take a closer look and it's a very different picture.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24The plastic polluting our oceans has now made it to the so far

0:01:24 > 0:01:28relatively untouched Arctic.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33Just last year I think we tipped 30 tonnes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38Brought in household litter, food wrapping, bottles.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43One of the biggest causes of plastic pollution in the area is fishing.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Bits of rope and netting can be found everywhere and it's having

0:01:46 > 0:01:51an impact on the local wildlife.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53The rubbish comes from all over Europe, and even

0:01:53 > 0:01:56as far away as America.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I mean, you can throw things into the ocean in Florida and think

0:01:59 > 0:02:04I am throwing it away and then it might end up here on our shores.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Bo Eide has made it his mission to pick up as much of the litter

0:02:08 > 0:02:14as he can around these Norwegian fjords.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18What to say?

0:02:18 > 0:02:22It is so obvious what we're doing here is like the tip of the iceberg.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27This is what is readily available.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30I mean, I pick up this little piece of litter and it's gone,

0:02:30 > 0:02:32it won't go out to sea again.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35It helps.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK, let's have a look at the latest sport.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42There were big wins for two sides battling against relegation

0:02:42 > 0:02:45from the Premier League.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Matt Richie's second half strike was enough to see Newcastle beat

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Manchester United 1-0.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52The win has moved them up to 13th place.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55While Huddersfield are out of the bottom three thanks

0:02:55 > 0:02:59to their 4-1 victory over Bournemouth.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Goals from Roberto Firmino and this cool finish from Mo Salah saw

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Liverpool beat Southampton 2-0 and move back up to third

0:03:05 > 0:03:07in the Premier League table.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Southampton drop down to 18th place.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Over in rugby, Greig Laidlaw scored 22 points to help Scotland

0:03:15 > 0:03:18pick up their first win of their Six Nations campaign.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20They came from behind to beat France at Murrayfield.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Elsewhere, Ireland were 21-8 winners over Italy in

0:03:24 > 0:03:29the Women's Six Nations competition.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Next up, we've seen people walking on the moon but will it ever be

0:03:33 > 0:03:35possible for that to happen on Mars?

0:03:35 > 0:03:40Check out this research team in the Oman desert who think it will.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Sending a manned mission to Mars has been a space

0:03:42 > 0:03:45explorers ambition for years.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49These researchers are hoping to make it a reality.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52There are in the Oman desert in the Middle east doing experiments

0:03:52 > 0:03:56that could one day help humans to survive on the Red planet.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Why Oman?

0:03:58 > 0:04:04We need a place that looks as much as Mars as possible.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06We found it here in Oman.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11It is a beautiful place but is a scientifically useful place

0:04:11 > 0:04:13and operationally useful place.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Although it is still a distant dream, it felt a little bit closer

0:04:16 > 0:04:20on Tuesday when Elon Musk's company SpaceI successfully launched

0:04:20 > 0:04:23the world's most powerful rocket.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26While getting there is one challenge, astronauts will also need

0:04:26 > 0:04:29to be able to survive on Mars.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33That is why these experiments are so crucial.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Once we will go to Mars and we will stay on Mars,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39we will have to use the resources we find on Mars because we cannot

0:04:39 > 0:04:41bring everything from Earth.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45That is called in situ resource utilisation.

0:04:45 > 0:04:53We use the things we find there, first of all to sustain life there,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55sustain missions there and then in the longer run may

0:04:55 > 0:04:56be for other things.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59For now this vast desert is the perfect spot to carry out

0:04:59 > 0:05:02tests like growing vegetables, and trying out the bulky spacesuits.

0:05:02 > 0:05:09Who knows one day similar scenes could be taking place on Mars.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11People call it the biggest party in the world

0:05:11 > 0:05:13and judging by these pictures, it really is.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Carnival is under way in the city of Rio in Brazil.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Every year more than a million people from all over the world take

0:05:19 > 0:05:22to the city's streets for the massive festival

0:05:22 > 0:05:30which includes parties, dancing and amazing costumes.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Last up, with Valentine's Day round the corner, some animals have

0:05:33 > 0:05:34been getting in on the action.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Yes, these loved-up pups walked down the aisle in Lima in Peru

0:05:38 > 0:05:42in a special doggy wedding ceremony.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Puppy love or just barking mad?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'll let you decide.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52What's your favourite pancake topping?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54My fave sugar and lemon is in second place!
