Hi, I'm Leah. This is Newsround. Here's what coming up in the next

:00:06.:00:08.

five minutes. Wrap up warm, there's more heavy

:00:08.:00:11.

snow on the way. And Laura Robson wins an epic match

:00:11.:00:19.

at the Australian Open. First, if there's not snow on the

:00:20.:00:23.

ground where you are already, could this be what you'll be waking up to

:00:23.:00:26.

tomorrow morning? Forecasters are warning of heavy snow tonight, with

:00:26.:00:29.

a severe weather warning in place for parts of South Wales. They're

:00:30.:00:32.

expecting 10-15 centimetres in places, which could cause problems

:00:32.:00:35.

on the roads. Many parts of the UK have already experienced snow and

:00:36.:00:38.

freezing temperatures this week. More than 90 schools in Norfolk

:00:38.:00:47.

have been given another day off today. Nine-year-old Olly is one of

:00:47.:00:57.
:00:57.:00:58.

them. It's been really fun off school. Starting to miss it a

:00:58.:01:05.

little bit. We've been up to quite a lot of things. It's been really

:01:05.:01:11.

fun playing with friends and family. I've seen quite a lot of animals

:01:11.:01:18.

and wildlife wandering around our garden.

:01:18.:01:21.

And if you're wondering if it'll snow where you live, you're in luck.

:01:21.:01:24.

We've got a special snow forecast from our BBC weatherman friend,

:01:24.:01:31.

Simon King. We are expecting lots of snow over the UK tomorrow.

:01:31.:01:34.

Another cold night tonight. We'll start to see snow moving into

:01:34.:01:37.

Northern Ireland, into Wales and the south-west of England tomorrow

:01:37.:01:43.

morning. The forecast might be a bit of a headache for your mum and

:01:43.:01:47.

dad there. Might be school closures tomorrow as the snow moves east.

:01:47.:01:51.

There could be a lot of it at the end of the day. Feeling very, very

:01:51.:01:54.

cold. Now to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

:01:54.:01:57.

It's built with the same carbon fibre material used in Formula One

:01:57.:02:00.

cars and has been described as the future of flying. But a recent

:02:00.:02:02.

string of safety issues means airlines across the world have

:02:02.:02:11.

decided to stop flying them. Joe's been looking into the problems. The

:02:11.:02:18.

ultra light, ultra green Dreamliner. At a cool �128 million a pop it's

:02:18.:02:22.

the fastest selling commercial aircraft in history. It's makers

:02:22.:02:27.

promised it would use a fifth less fuel, great news for airlines keen

:02:27.:02:32.

to find a cheaper, cleaner way to get us to where we get to go.

:02:32.:02:37.

Newsround got to check it out. But after a string of safety problems

:02:37.:02:42.

the 787's story is not as dreamy as was hoped. Fuel leaks, fires on

:02:42.:02:47.

board, brake and battery problems, even a cracked windscreen, have

:02:47.:02:52.

made airlines stop flying this new plane. A Japanese airline was first

:02:52.:02:56.

yesterday after an emergency landing yesterday. Fortunately no-

:02:56.:03:01.

one was hurt. Airlines around the world have decided to keep their

:03:01.:03:04.

Dreamliners on the ground until they are safe. We are talking about

:03:04.:03:10.

batteries that why overheating on this aeroplane. Once this issue is

:03:10.:03:14.

sorted out, the wiring and the battery issue is fixed, then I have

:03:14.:03:18.

no doubt that the governing bodies will allow this aeroplane to be

:03:18.:03:22.

back in the sky. Flying is one of the safest ways to travel and these

:03:22.:03:28.

problems are only affecting the Dreamliner. It's makers say they

:03:28.:03:33.

are working around the -- its makers say they are working round

:03:33.:03:35.

the clock to get them back in the air safely.

:03:35.:03:39.

US President Barack Obama has laid out his plans to do to more about

:03:39.:03:42.

the thousands of people who are killed in the country every year by

:03:42.:03:45.

guns. The President stood next to children who have written to him

:03:45.:03:48.

asking to do more, after a shooting at a school in Connecticut last

:03:48.:03:52.

month left 26 people dead. He wants to ban some of the most powerful

:03:52.:03:56.

weapons and stop them falling into the hands of criminals. But lots of

:03:56.:03:58.

people in the US believe passionately in their right to own

:03:58.:04:04.

guns and don't want the rules to change. This is our first task as a

:04:04.:04:11.

society - keeping our children safe. This is how we will be judged. And

:04:11.:04:16.

their voices should compel us to change. To keep our children safe.

:04:16.:04:23.

To help prevent mass shootings. To reduce the broader epidemic of gun

:04:23.:04:26.

violence in this country. We'll have a closer look at that

:04:26.:04:29.

story in our bulletin at 6.50pm. Next to the Australian Open tennis

:04:29.:04:32.

in Melbourne, where it's been another great day for the Brits.

:04:32.:04:34.

Laura Robson, who turns 19 on Monday, claimed another big Grand

:04:34.:04:37.

Slam win with an epic late-night win over 2011 Wimbledon champion

:04:37.:04:40.

Petra Kvitova. Laura recovered from 3-0 down to win the final set 11-9,

:04:40.:04:45.

in a match finishing well after midnight local time. Earlier, Andy

:04:45.:04:48.

Murray powered through to the third round in straight sets over
