Hey, guys. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Martin here with your
Friday Newsround! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Loads coming up. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Like some amazing ski
stunts at the X Games... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
And the starlings that look more
like a slinky in the sky! | 0:00:14 | 0:00:22 | |
We have just 12 days
until the Winter Olympics | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
in Pyeongchang get underway,
where some of the best athletes | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
will be showing off their skills
on the ice and snow. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
But if you can't wait till
then, here's a taste | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
of something pretty special. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Check this out. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
Flips! | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
Flicks! | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |

Add a lot of snow. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
The amazing daredevils are competing
in the 2018 X Games, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
which are taking place in Aspen
in the US. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Over the next four days,
some of the best freestyle skiers, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
snowboarders, snowmobilers and snow
bikers will take over Buttermilk | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Mountain for the action
sports competition. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
The X Games started over 20 years
ago, in the)summertime. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
It was not until two years later
in 1995, that a winter | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
competition was added. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Giving men and women
the chance to do things | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
like this! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:20 | |
This is awesome! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
These guys are the business! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
Bring on the Winter Olympics! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
Next to one of the toughest ocean
marathons in the world - | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
the World Yacht race -
and to Nikki Henderson, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
the youngest ever race winner! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Watch this. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Sailing across open
oceans under blue skies. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Sounds like a dream, doesn't? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:46 | |
-- doesn't it? | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
-- doesn't it? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
But these crews have to sail 40,000
nautical miles across | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
the world. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
The incredible journey starts
here in the UK, sailing from | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Liverpool to South America. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
Then up to the tip of Africa,
around Australia, up to China, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
all the way to Seattle in West Coast
of the | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
United States, to New York on the
east coast, and back to the | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
UK again! | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
It takes almost a whole
year to complete! | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Phew! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
I feel exhausted just
thinking about it. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
But it has not been too much
for Nikki to handle. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
She is sailing in the Clipper around
the world yacht races as part | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
of team Visit Seattle. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
And they have won one of the most
difficult race stages, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
sailing from the island of Tasmania
up to the east coast of Australia. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
The big win means 24-year-old Nikki
from Guildford is now the youngest | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
ever skipper to win a race
in the competition. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:39 | |
This route alone took 11 days,
with the crew facing | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
massive storms and winds as powerful
as a small hurricane. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
So, how are they feeling? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
The race was really tough, actually. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Tougher than any
of us were expecting. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
It was a challenging race. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
They are now halfway
through the entire race | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
route, all 40,000
nautical miles of it! | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
At least they get a little bit
of a break before starting the next | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
race stage, which will take them
almost 6000 miles to China. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Best of luck, guys! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
And enjoy your time off. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
Sounds like you have
definitely earned it. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Staying at sea, plastic is one
of the biggest threats | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
to the future of coral reefs,
followed by increasing | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
ocean temperatures,
scientists are warning. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
More than 11 billion items
of plastic were found on a third | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
of coral reefs in the Asia-Pacific
region, and that could rise | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
to 15 billion by 2025. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
Coral which comes into contact
with plastic is far more | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
likely to develop diseases
than other sealife. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
From the sea to the sky next,
and to one of nature's | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
most spectacular sights. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
From a distance they might look
like dancing clouds, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
but actually what you're seeing
is thousands of starlings swooping, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
soaring, and spiralling
through the skies over Israel. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
This synchronised flying
is called a murmuration, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
and they use it to protect
themselves from predators. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
As well as confusing them,
the wind they create | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
from their sudden movements can
actually knock a hawk | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
or falcon flat on their back! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
Pretty impressive, right? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
One more thing before we go... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
You know when you're hanging out,
playing basketball and you're like, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
"Hey guess what, I'll just throw it
backwards over my head"? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
Whoa! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
That was James from Nebraska
in America, showing off his skills | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
before his high school
basketball team played. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
James has Down's Syndrome
and was raising money | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
for a local charity. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
These clips of his awesome
throw went all around | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
the world on social media. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Even the Harlem
Globetrotters loved it. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Great shot, dude! | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
That's it from me. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
Whitney's here at 8:30
tomorrow morning. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Have a great weekend. | 0:04:52 | 0:05:00 |
