Hi, I'm Martin, this is your last Newsround update of the weekend, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
so listen up for the biggest stories. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Find out why this top rugby player got a bit embarrassed! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
And the colony of penguins going on camera. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
First to that huge snow storm in the US. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
More than 85 million people have been affected by the fierce weather | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
and many places on the East Coast have been stopped in their tracks | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
by the sheer amount of snow. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
18 people have died because of the weather so far. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
I've been taking a look. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
This is Washington DC, America's capital. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
It's man versus snow here. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
The battle is on to clear the city's roads and pavements. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
There's more than a metre of snow on the streets in some places here. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
Not even the President could escape the wild weather as his home, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
the White House, got even whiter. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
But here's someone who's managing to have fun in the extreme weather. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
This is Tian Tian, a giant panda at the zoo in Washington, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
making the most of the snow. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
The snowstorm has travelled 200 miles to New York, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
whipping up high tides to bring flooding in several towns. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
This is Times Square in New York. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Normally, it's bustling with tourists and loads of traffic. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Right now, all travel is banned in the city. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
That is to allow officials to clear up. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:40 | |
When the snow eventually stops, that is what officials | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
will be concentrating on. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
They want to get the public transport back up and running | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
but that could take some time. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
They have to clear up the two feet of snow from city streets. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:59 | |
The snow means business. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
7,000 flights have been delayed and cancelled. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Many airports and train stations are closed and the snow has caused | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
traffic jams lasting more than 12 hours in the states | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Weather forecasters say the blizzard is weakening as it heads out | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
towards the Atlantic Ocean. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
So, what are kids in America doing during the blizzard? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Well, we've been sent some very special reports from children over | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
in the States. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Hi, I'm Zara. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
And I'm Julia. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
And we are doing a secret blizzard snow handshake. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
Now we're going to use our special measuring stick to test the snow. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
How many inches to we think we have, girls? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
20. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
OK. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
Can we see the stick that you've made? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
It's the official snow stick. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
It's about 1.5 feet. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
As you can see, it is knowing pretty hard right now. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
It has been snowing for 45 minutes. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
We are getting ready for the storm. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
We're hoping it will snow deep enough so that we do not have to go | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
to school on Monday. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Hello, my name is Tom and this is my coverage of Storm Jonas. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Storm Jonas has caused havoc all over the East Coast and mid | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Atlantic. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Cars have been stuck, cables have been weighed down, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
almost everything has happened. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Even a blizzard. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
With wind speeds up to 60 mph, it truly is a breathtaking experience. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
There is 24 inches of snow. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
This is how you can tell. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
Look over there. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:58 | |
Make it happen. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
We are riding the sleigh. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
That was awesome. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
More cold news now. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
And a team of researchers from Oxford University has set up | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
penguin-monitoring cameras in the Antarctic Peninsula. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
By using this special penguin CCTV, the team are hoping to reach remote | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
penguin colonies to learn more about the birds and hopefully learn | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
how we can protect them for the future. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:29 | |
Now, it wouldn't be a weekend without the week's weirdest news. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Jenny has it for you now. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
First to the sheep with a slight problem of being stuck on the side | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
of a cliff in Wales. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
It had been there for days and couldn't move from | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
the dangerous ledge. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:47 | |
RSPCA rescuers had to abseil down the cliff side, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
collect the sheep and carry it down to the bottom in a bag. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
The sheep wasn't injured, but was pretty peckish | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
after its cliffside adventures. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Next to the really cool man taking on a chilly challenge. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Not only did he stay in a bath full of ice for more than an hour, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
but he played chess at the same time. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
He won several games of Chinese chess while he was chilling out. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
No wonder he's nicknamed the Polar Bear. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
And last up, ever tried doga? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
These dogs and their owners stretched their way to a new world | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
record this week by taking part in dog yoga. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
270 pooches took part in the class, which lasted for an hour. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
And last up, take a look at this poor guy. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Saracens' fly-half Owen Farrell steaming his way over the try line | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
against Toulouse, then this happened. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
Luckily, he didn't let that get the better of him and the team | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
finished with a 28-17 away victory. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
That's it from me. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
Newsround will be back tomorrow morning. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
Bye! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 |
