0:01:06 > 0:01:09Next, to the inspiring story of teenager Billy Monger.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Despite losing both of his legs in an accident, he's never given up

0:01:12 > 0:01:14on his dream of becoming a racing driver.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Let's hear from Billy.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hi.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21I'm Billy Monger and I'm here today to show you around my car

0:01:21 > 0:01:26that's adapted, so I can hopefully race British F3 this year.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Last year, Billy lost both of his legs in a crash while racing.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Now the 18 year old is back behind the wheel of a single-seater car.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34So how does he do it?

0:01:34 > 0:01:4112 years of my life I spent driving a certain way,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44and now someone has just changed everything I learnt to drive

0:01:44 > 0:01:45in a different way.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49I'm getting used to it, though.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Basically, the adaptations are that most of it's on the wheel now.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54The most important pedal is this side for me,

0:01:54 > 0:01:55the left-hand side of the wheel.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57I've got my fraught pedal.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00That accelerates the car and allows me to accelerate

0:02:00 > 0:02:02in straight lines and out of corners.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Every lap I do, I'm learning something new about whether it's

0:02:05 > 0:02:07better to control it a certain way or not.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08I brake with my right prosthetic.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11We've got a shorter one, which gives me more control over it.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14And then on the right-hand side of the steering wheel,

0:02:14 > 0:02:15there are two paddles.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18The top one being up gears, the bottom one down.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20And then the hand clutch just to pull away.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23That's basically the controls that we've come up with and what's

0:02:23 > 0:02:24working best for me so far.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27To be honest, it's been the most calm place since my accident,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29being back behind the wheel of a racing car.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31That's where I've wanted to be since my accident.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34And to get back behind the wheel, I just feel completely in control,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36and just relax when I'm out there.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40It's a bit surreal, but I'm sure when it comes to that first

0:02:40 > 0:02:45race weekend in April, we'll be ready for the challenge ahead of us.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46Go on, Billy!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Go on, Billy!

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Here on Newsround, we love hearing about you, so we've travelled

0:02:51 > 0:02:54all over the country so you can tell us your amazing stories.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55This week, it's Edith's turn.

0:02:55 > 0:03:03She explains why she wants to be a farmer when she grows up.

0:03:04 > 0:03:10I'm Edith and I'm nine years old and I live on a farm.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13We have horses, cows, chickens and we've got 1,000 sheep.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15The worst part about living on a farm would be

0:03:15 > 0:03:21mucking the animals out.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25It's quite hard and it doesn't smell very nice.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27And it's really far to get to the shops

0:03:27 > 0:03:30and your friends' houses.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33The best thing about living on a farm is, you've got loads

0:03:33 > 0:03:37of space to play on.

0:03:37 > 0:03:43And there are lots of animals to play with.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46I have eight other siblings - Raven, Ruben, Miles,

0:03:46 > 0:03:51and then there's me, Violet, Sydney, Anis,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Clemmie and Nancy.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56There's always someone to play with but, sometimes,

0:03:56 > 0:04:02your brothers and sisters steal one or two things of yours.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08My main job on the farm is to feed a calf called Joy.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12She is very excitable.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16And we bottle-feed her milk and we give her hay and cake.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18My mum is my role model because I want to be

0:04:18 > 0:04:21like her when I'm older.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I want to be a farmer when I'm older.

0:04:25 > 0:04:31She's a good lass.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Next up, these drones have taken over the runway

0:04:33 > 0:04:36at Milan Fashion Week, in Italy.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39The drones - all carrying handbags - flew over the stage to show off

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Dolce & Gabanna's expensive accessories.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45The flying display got a lot of people talking.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I just hope the models don't think they're out of a job yet!

0:04:48 > 0:04:49That's it from me.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Ricky's back with you in the morning.
