:00:00. > :00:00.We've got your Sunday afternoon stories covered,
:00:00. > :00:09.Coming up: We see some of your snowy pics.
:00:10. > :00:23.And the panda saying hello to the public for the first time.
:00:24. > :00:25.Did you wake up to snow this morning?
:00:26. > :00:30.Well, many of us did, including me, as it fell over parts of the UK.
:00:31. > :00:32.The band of snow moved across western Scotland,
:00:33. > :00:35.north-west England, the Midlands, and south-east England.
:00:36. > :00:39.And you've been sending in your snow pics all morning.
:00:40. > :00:44.Kate and Tom have sent this picture of a snowman they've made together.
:00:45. > :00:48.And this is the view on Lucy and Isobel's street.
:00:49. > :00:52.Here's a snow bear which Violeta has made, and this snowy pic has been
:00:53. > :01:02.And this is the view from Georgia's bedroom this morning.
:01:03. > :01:04.Thanks for sending those in, and we want to see more
:01:05. > :01:07.of your snowy pics - if it hasn't melted yet.
:01:08. > :01:11.Go to the Newsround website after the show.
:01:12. > :01:15.That's what a team of scientists are trying to find out
:01:16. > :01:32.This is a ship, heading to the middle of the Indian Ocean. The team
:01:33. > :01:36.on board are preparing to drill miles beneath the ocean floor.
:01:37. > :01:40.They've picture because they have's crust is thinner than in other
:01:41. > :01:49.places so it is easier to break through. It is a big challenge. Our
:01:50. > :01:54.Earth is made of layers. The scientist plan to sample the super
:01:55. > :01:58.hot rock from here. They will use this to lead more about how the
:01:59. > :02:02.Earth was formed by studying the rocks buried there. They also want
:02:03. > :02:06.to try and find out if there's anything that there that could
:02:07. > :02:12.survive such extreme heat and pressure. The drill needs a travel
:02:13. > :02:17.700 metres down through the sea, then 5.5 kilometres into rock,
:02:18. > :02:21.before reaching the mantle, the length of 50 football pitches. Even
:02:22. > :02:30.with the latest technology, it will take several years. It will take a
:02:31. > :02:36.lot of time until we can drill and get to the final subjective, a big
:02:37. > :02:39.finding. And of what we believe is going on under the planet.
:02:40. > :02:41.To a room full of hundreds of beautiful butterflies,
:02:42. > :02:43.s new glasshouse display has been built to house the creatures,
:02:44. > :02:49.It's filled with hundreds of butterflies.
:02:50. > :02:53.BBC Reporter Tarah Welsh went to have a look for us.
:02:54. > :03:00.People are encouraged to try spot butterflies as they walk through
:03:01. > :03:05.here, so they can users clip to see the different species. There are 40
:03:06. > :03:10.different types here, and of course in the summer you can see
:03:11. > :03:14.butterflies in the UK. You won't get them as large or exotic or with the
:03:15. > :03:16.bright colours that you will see an summer like this.
:03:17. > :03:19.More than 20 new marine conservation zones are being set up around
:03:20. > :03:22.They're designed to help protect the habitats and
:03:23. > :03:26.Conservation and wildlife organisations are pleased but they,
:03:27. > :03:31.along with fishermen's groups, are also concerned about how it
:03:32. > :03:38.It's the start of a year-long party for anyone who's a cub scout.
:03:39. > :03:41.That's because it's the 100th anniversary of the organisation.
:03:42. > :03:42.Celebrations will be happening throughout the year,
:03:43. > :03:45.and to kick things off, cubs from all over the UK went
:03:46. > :03:54.So why do these guys like being cubs?
:03:55. > :04:01.I believed I should join because my brother was in it and heat told me
:04:02. > :04:05.it was fun. Every week there are different ad ventures and you aren't
:04:06. > :04:09.doing the same border thing over again. You get this exciting feeling
:04:10. > :04:14.like you have done something well when you get a badge. All I want to
:04:15. > :04:16.do is get more barges than my brothers.
:04:17. > :04:19.It's that time of the week again, when we bring you the most weird
:04:20. > :04:23.Yes, it's strange, stranger, strangest!
:04:24. > :04:33.Take a look at this incredible footage of a soap bubble freezing at
:04:34. > :04:37.-15 degrees. The artist who made the video wanted to show his daughter
:04:38. > :04:42.how cold it was outside. Ice crystals in the water began to form,
:04:43. > :04:52.just like 2D snowflakes in a snow globe. Staying with that freezing
:04:53. > :04:57.feeling, have a look at this car in New York. The city was enjoying its
:04:58. > :05:02.warmest Christmas on record, but people living there facing ice and
:05:03. > :05:10.snow. The car was turned into a giant icicle as temperatures
:05:11. > :05:15.plummeted. And this has to be the strangest moment of the week.
:05:16. > :05:27.Astronaut impede showing us how you drink water in space. -- Tim Peake.
:05:28. > :05:32.You can see how water behaves. Which also means it is easier
:05:33. > :05:38.Last up, a new panda star has made its first appearance
:05:39. > :05:40.to his adoring public at the National Zoo in Washington,
:05:41. > :05:46.He's five months old and until now has only be seen by video link.
:05:47. > :05:52.But big crowds gathered to see him making his debut, and you can't
:05:53. > :05:59.That's all for now, I'll be back after 2.15.
