Tony Abbott... Happy Valentine's
Day. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
But | 0:00:16 | 0:00:16 | |
did this idea actually come from the | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Coming up... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
Happy Valentine's Day -
but where did this idea | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
actually come from? | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
Plus, the teenagers taking
the Winter Olympics by storm! | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
OK, guys, straight to South Korea
and the Winter Olympics, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
where today is all about curling, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
which is a bit like
bowls but on ice! | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Team GB's women have just
won their first match | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
at the Olympics after they thrashed
the team of Russian athletes 10-3. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
They won bronze last time out. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:52 | |
Team GB's men -
who took silver fours year ago - | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
played earlier and beat Switzerland
in a very exciting match. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
They'll play defending champions
Canada at 11 o'clock. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
And meet the
"Flying Tomato", Shaun White. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
The American has become a three time
Olympic champion after producing | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
some outstanding twists and turns
to take gold in the halfpipe final. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
But the Flying Tomato isn't the only
snowboarder making headlines. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:17 | |
The sport is producing some
of the youngest names to rule | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
the Winter Olympics. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
Meet the 17-year-old American sports
stars everyone is talking about. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
First up is California
girl Chloe Kim. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
is a | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
Her mum and dad were born and raised
in South Korea before they | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
moved to the States,
so where better for Chloe | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
to win her first Olympic gold
than in her parents' home country? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
She was amazing in the women's
halfpipe snowboarding final. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
On her first run, she was already
in gold place position, but by her | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
third, she was ahead
of her competitors by 8.5 points. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Pretty fantastic for a 17-year-old
who has been tweeting more | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
about wanting to eat ice cream
than win Olympic golds! | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Next up, Red Gerard. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
He's 17, from America, and happens
to be amazing at slopestyle. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
But it nearly went wrong. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
He overslept on the morning
of his final, missing | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
his 6am wake-up call! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
But the extra 20 minutes
obviously did him good. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
He went on to win. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
Not only did he claim
America's first gold at the | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Winter Olympics, but he has made
history as the youngest | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
American man to win gold since 1928. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
And these two winning teenagers
could be the tip of the iceberg. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Keep your eyes peeled
for more teen superstars | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
ruling in the snow in South Korea.
Nice one, guys! | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Now, it's the most loved up day
of the year for some... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Happy Valentine's Day! | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
But where did it come
from and why did it start? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
It's time for the Big Question. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
You caught me writing my
Valentine's Day card! | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
That's terribly convenient
when we take a look at this week's | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Big Question. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Who invented
Valentine's Day and why? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
What a LOVE-ly Big Question. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
See what I did there? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Sorry! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Well, Valentine's Day actually
gets its name from a famous | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Saint called Valentine. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
But there are a lots of different
stories about who he was. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
The popular belief is that he was
a priest from Rome in the third | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
century AD. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Emperor Claudius II had
banned marriage because | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
he thought married men
were bad soldiers. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
Valentine thought that this
was wrong, so he broke the | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
rules and arranged
marriages in secret. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
When the Emperor found
out, he was furious! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
He threw Valentine in jail
and sentenced him to death! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:06 | |
But Valentine fell in love
with the jailer's daughter, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
and when he was taken to be
killed, he sent her a love | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
letter signed,
"from your Valentine". | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
But why in February, you ask? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Well, there used to be
a Roman festival in | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
the middle of February to mark
the start of spring. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
As part of the celebrations,
boys drew names of | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
girls from a box. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
They would be boyfriend
and girlfriend during the | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
festival, and sometimes,
they would get married. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
This developed into a festival
in the middle of February | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
to remember Saint Valentine too,
and Valentine's Day was born! | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
A day to express feelings
to those you love. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
Finally, when I say
"pig" you probably think | 0:04:53 | 0:05:00 | |
about mud
rather than paints and brushes - | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
but THAT is about to
change - watch this. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:11 | |
and | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
yes, this is real.
There is something unusual about | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
this page. This is a caso or
Pig-casso! What else would she be | 0:05:19 | 0:05:28 | |
called? She lives in a farm
Sanctuary in a small town in South | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
Africa. Their owners say she loves
painting landscapes, and most | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
recently tried her snout at a
portrait of US President Donald | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Trump. Is it that one or this one?!
She is famous around the world for | 0:05:40 | 0:05:47 | |
her PE pics. Trust me, it is not
hogwash! She even got her own art | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
exhibition. Let's hope she does not
run out of oink. I mean, Inc! | 0:05:53 | 0:05:59 | |
She made | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 |
