Hi, Martin here.

0:00:040:00:06

Your top stories coming

up on Newsround:

0:00:060:00:09

An amazing teenager makes

a comeback on the race track.

0:00:090:00:13

We find out what life

is like on a farm.

0:00:130:00:17

Why there's no need for models

at this fashion show!

0:00:170:00:23

Now, if you like the snow, then

many of you could be in for a treat.

0:00:290:00:34

Snow has been falling across parts

of Southern and Eastern England.

0:00:340:00:38

And more is on its way,

as cold air sweeps in from Russia.

0:00:380:00:41

More snow is expected

in the Midlands, across Scotland

0:00:410:00:43

and Wales tomorrow morning.

0:00:430:00:49

So if you've got snow,

we'd love to see your videos.

0:00:490:00:52

Take a short clip of yourself

on your phone enjoying the snow,

0:00:520:00:55

and give us your very

own weather report.

0:00:550:00:57

Then head to Newsround

Online to send it to us.

0:00:570:01:00

You never know, you might end up

on the telly tomorrow!

0:01:000:01:06

Next, to the inspiring story

of teenager Billy Monger.

0:01:060:01:09

Despite losing both of his legs

in an accident, he's never given up

0:01:090:01:12

on his dream of becoming

a racing driver.

0:01:120:01:14

Let's hear from Billy.

0:01:140:01:16

Hi.

0:01:160:01:17

I'm Billy Monger and I'm here today

to show you around my car

0:01:170:01:21

that's adapted, so I can hopefully

race British F3 this year.

0:01:210:01:26

Last year, Billy lost both

of his legs in a crash while racing.

0:01:260:01:29

Now the 18 year old is back behind

the wheel of a single-seater car.

0:01:290:01:32

So how does he do it?

0:01:320:01:34

12 years of my life I spent

driving a certain way,

0:01:340:01:41

and now someone has just changed

everything I learnt to drive

0:01:410:01:44

in a different way.

0:01:440:01:45

I'm getting used to it, though.

0:01:450:01:49

Basically, the adaptations are that

most of it's on the wheel now.

0:01:490:01:52

The most important pedal

is this side for me,

0:01:520:01:54

the left-hand side of the wheel.

0:01:540:01:55

I've got my fraught pedal.

0:01:550:01:57

That accelerates the car

and allows me to accelerate

0:01:570:02:00

in straight lines

and out of corners.

0:02:000:02:02

Every lap I do, I'm learning

something new about whether it's

0:02:020:02:05

better to control it a certain

way or not.

0:02:050:02:07

I brake with my right prosthetic.

0:02:070:02:08

We've got a shorter one,

which gives me more control over it.

0:02:080:02:11

And then on the right-hand side

of the steering wheel,

0:02:110:02:14

there are two paddles.

0:02:140:02:15

The top one being up gears,

the bottom one down.

0:02:150:02:18

And then the hand clutch

just to pull away.

0:02:180:02:20

That's basically the controls that

we've come up with and what's

0:02:200:02:23

working best for me so far.

0:02:230:02:24

To be honest, it's been the most

calm place since my accident,

0:02:240:02:27

being back behind the wheel

of a racing car.

0:02:270:02:29

That's where I've wanted

to be since my accident.

0:02:290:02:31

And to get back behind the wheel,

I just feel completely in control,

0:02:310:02:34

and just relax when I'm out there.

0:02:340:02:36

It's a bit surreal, but I'm sure

when it comes to that first

0:02:360:02:40

race weekend in April, we'll be

ready for the challenge ahead of us.

0:02:400:02:45

Go on, Billy!

0:02:450:02:46

Go on, Billy!

0:02:460:02:48

Here on Newsround, we love hearing

about you, so we've travelled

0:02:480:02:51

all over the country so you can tell

us your amazing stories.

0:02:510:02:54

This week, it's Edith's turn.

0:02:540:02:55

She explains why she wants to be

a farmer when she grows up.

0:02:550:03:03

I'm Edith and I'm nine years

old and I live on a farm.

0:03:040:03:10

We have horses, cows,

chickens and we've got 1,000 sheep.

0:03:100:03:13

The worst part about

living on a farm would be

0:03:130:03:15

mucking the animals out.

0:03:150:03:21

It's quite hard and it

doesn't smell very nice.

0:03:210:03:25

And it's really far

to get to the shops

0:03:250:03:27

and your friends' houses.

0:03:270:03:30

The best thing about living

on a farm is, you've got loads

0:03:300:03:33

of space to play on.

0:03:330:03:37

And there are lots of

animals to play with.

0:03:370:03:43

I have eight other siblings -

Raven, Ruben, Miles,

0:03:430:03:46

and then there's me,

Violet, Sydney, Anis,

0:03:460:03:51

Clemmie and Nancy.

0:03:510:03:54

There's always someone to play

with but, sometimes,

0:03:540:03:56

your brothers and sisters steal one

or two things of yours.

0:03:560:04:02

My main job on the farm

is to feed a calf called Joy.

0:04:020:04:08

She is very excitable.

0:04:080:04:12

And we bottle-feed her milk

and we give her hay and cake.

0:04:120:04:16

My mum is my role model

because I want to be

0:04:160:04:18

like her when I'm older.

0:04:180:04:21

I want to be a farmer

when I'm older.

0:04:210:04:25

She's a good lass.

0:04:250:04:31

Next up, these drones have

taken over the runway

0:04:310:04:33

at Milan Fashion Week, in Italy.

0:04:330:04:36

The drones - all carrying handbags -

flew over the stage to show off

0:04:360:04:39

Dolce & Gabanna's expensive

accessories.

0:04:390:04:41

The flying display got

a lot of people talking.

0:04:410:04:45

I just hope the models don't think

they're out of a job yet!

0:04:450:04:48

That's it from me.

0:04:480:04:49

Ricky's back with

you in the morning.
