Hi, I'm Ricky.

0:00:040:00:06

An amazing Newsround this morning.

0:00:060:00:08

Coming up in the next few minutes...

0:00:080:00:12

We find out who won

at the Brit Awards...

0:00:120:00:17

The clock that only ticks

once every 100 years...

0:00:170:00:20

And don't look down!

0:00:200:00:22

Is this the scariest

bridge on earth?!

0:00:220:00:24

Good morning. I'm Ricky. This is

Newsround.

0:00:400:00:43

Dua Lipa and Stormzy were the big

winners at last night's Brit Awards.

0:00:430:00:46

Check out one of the biggest music

parties of the year.

0:00:460:00:48

Let's start with Stormzy.

0:00:480:00:49

He had an amazing night -

scooping best male singer

0:00:490:00:52

and album of the year.

0:00:520:00:53

He was the last to perform,

closing the Brit Awards

0:00:530:00:55

show which took place

in London last night.

0:00:550:00:57

Dua Lipa was the only

other artist to walk

0:00:570:01:00

away with two awards -

she got best female

0:01:000:01:02

and breakthrough artist.

0:01:020:01:04

And brought her little

brother and sister on stage

0:01:040:01:06

with her to collect it.

0:01:060:01:10

Every single female that has been

on this stage before me that has

0:01:100:01:17

given girls like me not just girls

in the

0:01:170:01:19

music industry but girls in society

a place to be inspired by, to look

0:01:190:01:22

up to and have allowed

us to dream this big.

0:01:220:01:30

Ed Sheeran was also a winner.

0:01:300:01:33

Although he lost out

to Stormzy in two categories -

0:01:330:01:35

he was given a special award

for global success.

0:01:350:01:40

The only award voted

for by the fans was best video.

0:01:400:01:43

Harry Styles got that one

for best British video -

0:01:430:01:45

although he wasn't there

to collect it.

0:01:450:01:49

His One Direction bandmate,

Liam Payne was there -

0:01:490:01:51

with his girlfriend,

Cheryl.

0:01:510:01:53

He performed with Rita Ora -

singing their single, For You.

0:01:530:01:59

Liam Gallager performed Live Forever

in memory of the victims

0:02:010:02:04

of the Manchester terror attacks -

at an Ariana Grande

0:02:040:02:07

concert last May.

0:02:070:02:15

Little Mix were up for Best British

Single and Best British video -

0:02:160:02:19

but walked away empty handed.

0:02:190:02:22

Winter Olympics stuff now

and to the sport of Curling.

0:02:220:02:24

Last night, Great Britain's

men's team failed to get

0:02:240:02:26

a place in the semi finals.

0:02:260:02:28

But Great Britain s women have made

it - they play Sweden

0:02:280:02:31

in the semis tomorrow.

0:02:310:02:31

So we thought now was a good time

to give you five fun facts

0:02:310:02:35

about the sport itself...

0:02:350:02:38

First up, let's take

a look at the shoes.

0:02:410:02:43

They don't wear heels,

that's for sure.

0:02:430:02:45

Curlers wear two different shoes

when they are on the ice.

0:02:450:02:47

On one foot they have a sliding sole

which allows the athlete to slide

0:02:470:02:51

when they throw the stone

or when they are sweeping.

0:02:510:02:53

On the other foot,

the shoe is just a normal

0:02:530:02:55

athletic shoe but the sole has to be

the same thickness as the slider to

0:02:550:02:59

keep the curler level.

0:02:590:03:03

The ice is a very important

part of the game,

0:03:080:03:10

small droplets of water

are sprayed onto it,

0:03:100:03:13

that's called pebbling

and

0:03:130:03:15

it means the surface is in tiptop

condition for the rocks to glide

0:03:150:03:18

smoothly along the surface.

0:03:180:03:21

Curling stones are

made out of real rock

0:03:250:03:27

called granite.

0:03:270:03:28

It's used because it's

so hard and tough.

0:03:280:03:31

All curling stones for

competitors around the

0:03:310:03:39

world are made in Scotland,

all of the granite used comes

0:03:390:03:42

from this rock called Ailsa Craig

on the coast of Ayrshire

0:03:420:03:44

which in Gaelic

0:03:440:03:45

means 'fairy rock'.

0:03:450:03:46

The hog line is this area

of the ice, each player's stone

0:03:460:03:49

must go over this line,

if it doesn't, the

0:03:490:03:51

stone will be removed from play.

0:03:510:03:53

Not good.

0:03:530:03:56

Boys and girls, this

could be the most

0:03:590:04:01

exciting move in curling,

a

0:04:010:04:05

good old-fashioned lunge,

look how much fun she is having.

0:04:050:04:07

This technique is used

by the athlete to

0:04:070:04:09

make sure they have good

direction and balance

0:04:090:04:11

when they are moving

the

0:04:110:04:12

stone.

0:04:120:04:13

One, two, three, lunge!

0:04:130:04:19

And if you're wondering

which sport you'd be great

0:04:190:04:21

at in the Winter Olympics,

head to newsround online where

0:04:210:04:23

you can take a quiz to find out.

0:04:230:04:26

I haven't done that yet!

0:04:300:04:34

Manchester United were held

to a goalless draw at

0:04:340:04:36

Sevilla in the first leg

of their Champions

0:04:360:04:38

League last 16 tie.

0:04:380:04:39

Record signing Paul Pogba

was left on the bench,

0:04:390:04:41

although he did replace the injured

Ander Herrera in the first half.

0:04:410:04:44

United's David de Gea made

some great saves to keep

0:04:440:04:46

the score at nil-nil.

0:04:460:04:48

Mourinho's side produced

just six shots compared

0:04:480:04:49

with 25 by the home side.

0:04:490:04:55

Next up, a giant clock

is being built in Texas in the US

0:04:550:04:58

that will only tick once a year!

0:04:580:05:01

It's called the 10,000 year clock.

0:05:010:05:04

Every 100 years the century hand

will move forward and the cuckoo

0:05:040:05:06

comes out every 1000 years.

0:05:060:05:09

A special team has spent the last 30

years designing and building

0:05:090:05:12

the clock which is buried 150m

deep into a mountain.

0:05:120:05:14

So what's the point?

0:05:140:05:15

Well, the creators hope it

will enourage people to think more

0:05:150:05:19

about time and the impact

we all have on our planet.

0:05:190:05:25

I know! I'm none the wiser!

0:05:290:05:31

If you're not a fan

of heights, look away now.

0:05:310:05:33

Snaking through the mountains

0:05:330:05:35

of northern China, this

0:05:350:05:36

is the world's longest

glass suspension bridge.

0:05:360:05:37

It's nearly 500 metres long

with a vertical drop

0:05:370:05:39

of more than 200 metres -

it is supposed to represent a dragon

0:05:390:05:43

flying through the valley.

0:05:430:05:44

It's designed to take up

to 2000 people at a time.

0:05:440:05:51

Incredible.

0:05:510:05:56

Have a great day at school.

0:05:560:05:57

Ayshah's back this afternoon.
