Hi, you're watching Newsround with me, Leah.

:00:00.:00:16.

Coming up this morning: We hear from a fire fighter tackling this massive

:00:17.:00:23.

blaze in Yorkshire. We check out our top medal hopefuls

:00:24.:00:30.

at the Winter Olympics. This is Newsround.

:00:31.:00:40.

A massive fire near Leeds in the north of England, involving

:00:41.:00:44.

thousands of tonnes of tyres, is still burning, sending thick smoke

:00:45.:00:48.

high into the air. There's so much smoke, you can see it from space.

:00:49.:00:51.

Dozens of fire fighters from across Yorkshire have been at the recycling

:00:52.:00:54.

plant in Sherburn-in-Elmet since yesterday morning. They say the

:00:55.:00:57.

blaze will go on for days. Luckily, no-one's been hurt, but people

:00:58.:01:00.

living close were told to stay indoors, and kids at some nearby

:01:01.:01:04.

schools were kept inside for the day. The smoke was captured on

:01:05.:01:09.

camera by this NASA satellite image. It is a large fire. We have

:01:10.:01:13.

protected the factory within the perimeter of the fire ground, and

:01:14.:01:17.

from spreading elsewhere. Animal charities say they're really

:01:18.:01:26.

worried about the effect of the recent floods on wildlife in the UK.

:01:27.:01:30.

The RSPCA say they've rescued almost 200 animals since the start of the

:01:31.:01:33.

wet weather in December. They say they're really concerned about the

:01:34.:01:36.

damage to wildlife and their habitats.

:01:37.:01:48.

Tennis, Serena Williams said she even felt the breeze, as she breezed

:01:49.:01:55.

through in Sydney. Andy Murray has a day off, he has made it through to

:01:56.:02:00.

the third round. His brother needed treatment for heat stroke after

:02:01.:02:05.

playing in the doubles. He was cramping for a while after

:02:06.:02:10.

the match, he was in quite a bad way for a little while. I am hoping he

:02:11.:02:16.

will be fine tomorrow. It was very tough conditions especially in the

:02:17.:02:21.

middle of the day, hot and humid. Team GB have been set a target of

:02:22.:02:25.

winning at least three medals at the Winter Olympics in Sochi next month.

:02:26.:02:38.

Let us meet another of our top medal hopefuls.

:02:39.:02:48.

I am Emily. Ski Cross is the ultimate downhill race, you have the

:02:49.:03:02.

alpine aspect, then all sorts of jobs and obstacles. The best bit is

:03:03.:03:08.

you are racing ahead to hasten -- head to head. It is the first across

:03:09.:03:18.

the finishing line. It is a scary event. I will not lie. I am scared

:03:19.:03:24.

to go down there. Jumping 40 metres. Add into the mix, you have

:03:25.:03:31.

somebody trying to knock you out of the way. We did the test event last

:03:32.:03:40.

year. There are some huge jumps. The big thing is you know you have to be

:03:41.:03:45.

calm to keep yourself in the safest position. If you go down hard, you

:03:46.:03:53.

hurt yourself. This is the ultimate thing. That means so much to me.

:03:54.:04:04.

We have talked about 3D printing recently. It is possible to make a

:04:05.:04:12.

copy of your own face. One 3D printing company in Manchester has

:04:13.:04:19.

worked out how to print your own pants! They say it is the first time

:04:20.:04:25.

underwear has been printed. They say it only takes three seconds to print

:04:26.:04:29.

a pair, they could make 10 million in a year.

:04:30.:04:36.

If you prefer your films in 3D, we have lots of movie news on our

:04:37.:04:42.

website. Check out which ones are up for an Oscar. And you can watch our

:04:43.:04:53.

special guide to kids films. That's all from me. Newsround's back

:04:54.:04:57.

at 4.20pm. Have a great day, I'll see you soon. Bye!
