Ayshah here with Newsround this Sunday afternoon. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
This is what's coming your way: The start of a year-long party | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
for cub scouts AND the furry little fella having fun in the snow. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
Many of us woke up to snow today as it fell over large parts | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
of the UK. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
South-East England saw some of their first snow flurries, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:32 | |
as well as Western Scotland, North-West England and the Midlands. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
You've been sending in your snowy snaps. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Kate and Tom have sent this picture of a snowman they've made | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
together. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
And this is the view on Lucy and Isobel's street. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Here's a snow bear which Violeta has made. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
And Milly who's seven | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
and from Luton sent us this pic of her snow ladies. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
And check out Dorothy the snow lady. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Made by Charlie and katie from Milton Keynes. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
A lot of you will be having fun in the snow, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
and this squirrel in Estonia, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
Eastern Europe, is certainly enjoying this winter wonderland. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Temperatures in the area reach around -12 this month. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
And this fella seemed to be diving in to find his favourite | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
food - nuts! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
More than 20 new marine conservation zones are being set up | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
around the UK coastline. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
They're designed to help protect the habitats | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
and wildlife living there. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
Conservation and wildlife organisations are pleased but they, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
along with fishermen's groups, are also concerned about how it | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
will be managed. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
We've been damaging our seas for centuries now, overfishing | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
and polluting and using the protected area networks is one | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
way to start to look after it and give our species | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
and our habitats the space and time to start to recover and hopefully | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
they can then start to thrive again. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
What's in the middle of our planet? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
That's what a team of scientists are trying to find out | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
in an amazing experiment. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Here's Leah. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
This is a drilling ship called the JOIDES Resolution, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
heading to the middle of the Indian Ocean. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
The team on board are preparing to drill miles beneath | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
the ocean floor. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
They've chosen here because Earth's crust is thinner than other places, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
so it is easier to break through. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
It is a huge challenge, something no one has managed before. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Our Earth is made up of layers, a bit like an onion. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
The scientists plan to sample the super hot rock from here, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
the planet's mantle. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
They'll use this to learn more about how the Earth was formed | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
by studying the rocks buried there. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
They also wanted to try and find out if there's anything living | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
there that could survive such extreme heat and pressure. | 0:02:50 | 0:03:00 | |
The drill needs to travel 700 metres down through the seam and 5.5 | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
kilometres into the rock before it reaches the mantle, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
that's the length of about 50 football pitches! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Even with the latest technology, it will take several years. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
It will take a long time, longer than we have on this | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
expedition here to drill deeper and deeper until we finally reach | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
this objective, then that's a very important finding and a very big | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
implication for what we believe is going on deep in the subsurface | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
of the planet. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
It's the start of a year-long party for anyone who's a Cub Scout | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
and that's because it's the 100th anniversary | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
of the organisation. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Celebrations will be happening throughout the year, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
and to kick things off, cubs from all over the UK went | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
for a sleepover at London Zoo. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
So what do these guys like about being Cubs? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
I thought I should join the Cubs because my brother was in it | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
and he told me it was much more fun. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Every week there were different adventures and you're not doing | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
the same boring thing over and over again. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
You get this really excited feeling like you've done something really | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
well when you get your badge. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
All I want to do is get more badges than my brothers. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
It's that time of the week again when we bring you the most weird | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
and wonderful stories. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Yes, it's Strange, Stranger, Strangest! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Take a look at this incredible footage of a soap bubble freezing | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
in -15 degrees. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
The artist who made the video wanted to show his daughter just how cold | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
it was outside. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Ice crystals in the water to begin to form, just like 2-D snowflakes | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
in a snow globe. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Staying with that freezing feeling, have a look at this car in New York. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
Just a few weeks ago, the city was enjoying its warmest | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Christmas on record, but now people living | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
there are facing layers of ice and snow. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
The car, in Buffalo, was turned into a giant icicle | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
as temperatures plummeted. | 0:04:53 | 0:05:00 | |
And this has to be the strangest moment of the week. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
Astronaut Tim Peake showing us just how you drink water in space. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:14 | |
And hopefully you can see there how water behaves, | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
which also means it's easier to drink. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
Nice one, Tim! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Just incredible. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Last up, a new panda star has made its first appearance | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
to his adoring public at the National Zoo in Washington | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
in America. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
Bei Bei is five months old and until now has | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
only be seen by video link. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
But big crowds gathered to see him making his debut, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
and you can't blame them, he's super-cute! | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
That's all from me and the team, Newsround's back tomorrow | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
morning with Ricky. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:57 |
