Next, to the inspiring story
of teenager Billy Monger. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Despite losing both of his legs
in an accident, he's never given up | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
on his dream of becoming
a racing driver. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Let's hear from Billy. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Hi. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
I'm Billy Monger and I'm here today
to show you around my car | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
that's adapted, so I can hopefully
race British F3 this year. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
Last year, Billy lost both
of his legs in a crash while racing. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Now the 18 year old is back behind
the wheel of a single-seater car. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
So how does he do it? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
12 years of my life I spent
driving a certain way, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:41 | |
and now someone has just changed
everything I learnt to drive | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
in a different way. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
I'm getting used to it, though. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
Basically, the adaptations are that
most of it's on the wheel now. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
The most important pedal
is this side for me, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
the left-hand side of the wheel. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
I've got my fraught pedal. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
That accelerates the car
and allows me to accelerate | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
in straight lines
and out of corners. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Every lap I do, I'm learning
something new about whether it's | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
better to control it a certain
way or not. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
I brake with my right prosthetic. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
We've got a shorter one,
which gives me more control over it. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
And then on the right-hand side
of the steering wheel, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
there are two paddles. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
The top one being up gears,
the bottom one down. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
And then the hand clutch
just to pull away. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
That's basically the controls that
we've come up with and what's | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
working best for me so far. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
To be honest, it's been the most
calm place since my accident, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
being back behind the wheel
of a racing car. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
That's where I've wanted
to be since my accident. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
And to get back behind the wheel,
I just feel completely in control, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and just relax when I'm out there. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
It's a bit surreal, but I'm sure
when it comes to that first | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
race weekend in April, we'll be
ready for the challenge ahead of us. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
Go on, Billy! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
Go on, Billy! | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Here on Newsround, we love hearing
about you, so we've travelled | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
all over the country so you can tell
us your amazing stories. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
This week, it's Edith's turn. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
She explains why she wants to be
a farmer when she grows up. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:03 | |
I'm Edith and I'm nine years
old and I live on a farm. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
We have horses, cows,
chickens and we've got 1,000 sheep. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
The worst part about
living on a farm would be | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
mucking the animals out. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
It's quite hard and it
doesn't smell very nice. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
And it's really far
to get to the shops | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
and your friends' houses. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
The best thing about living
on a farm is, you've got loads | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
of space to play on. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
And there are lots of
animals to play with. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
I have eight other siblings -
Raven, Ruben, Miles, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
and then there's me,
Violet, Sydney, Anis, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
Clemmie and Nancy. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
There's always someone to play
with but, sometimes, | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
your brothers and sisters steal one
or two things of yours. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
My main job on the farm
is to feed a calf called Joy. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
She is very excitable. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
And we bottle-feed her milk
and we give her hay and cake. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
My mum is my role model
because I want to be | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
like her when I'm older. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
I want to be a farmer
when I'm older. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
She's a good lass. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
Next up, these drones have
taken over the runway | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
at Milan Fashion Week, in Italy. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
The drones - all carrying handbags -
flew over the stage to show off | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Dolce & Gabanna's expensive
accessories. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
The flying display got
a lot of people talking. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
I just hope the models don't think
they're out of a job yet! | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
That's it from me. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
Ricky's back with
you in the morning. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
