0:00:04 > 0:00:05Hi, I'm Ricky.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Coming up on Newsround on this freezing cold day.
0:00:10 > 0:00:16Who's got snow and who hasn't?
0:00:16 > 0:00:26Just what is this unusual animal caught on camera? In the UK?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30First up, did you wake up to snow this morning?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Well lots of you across the UK did although maybe not quite so much
0:00:33 > 0:00:36as weather forecasts predicted.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Up to eight centimetres of the white stuff felt in Northumberland.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now that's got to be enough for a snowman.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46There was about a centimetre of the white stuff in parts
0:00:46 > 0:00:47of south east England.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Temperatures were pretty cold too - in the Highlands it was as low
0:00:50 > 0:00:52as minus 8.5 degrees in Northern Ireland,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56south west England and East Anglia it dropped to minus six!
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Some schools are shut so check before you set off.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02So did it snow overnight where you are?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We want Newsround viewers to send us their special weather reports -
0:01:06 > 0:01:09get your tablet or phones out, get filming, and show
0:01:09 > 0:01:10us how it looks.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16Head over to the website to find out how to send your videos to us.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now the Winter Olympics may have just finished
0:01:18 > 0:01:20but we only have to wait 36 days until the Commonwealth
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Games in Australia.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Amongst the big names competing on the Gold Coast for Team England
0:01:27 > 0:01:29are the Brownlee Brothers, both hoping for a medal
0:01:29 > 0:01:31in the Triathlon.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, they came into Newsround HQ for a chat and we decided
0:01:34 > 0:01:38to test their Commonwealth knowledge.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Hi, Newsround.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40I'm Alistair Brownlee.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41And I'm Jonny Brownlee.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47And we compete in triathlon.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51I think it's earlier.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I think it's 1930.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55We'll go for 1930.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'd go for 63 for some reason.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I don't know.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08OK, we'll go for 63.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Should've gone to the middle.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Should've listened to me.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Sailing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Is shooting in?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19No, it's not in Birmingham.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20It's just been taken out of Birmingham.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So sailing is not in?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Yeah, sailing.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Sailing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'm fairly confident it's not Canada.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's Australia or England.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37And I reckon it's probably...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Australia cos swimming.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yeah, but England normally come top of the medal field.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Didn't they come top of the medal field last time?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47We have to go for the home crowd.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50All right, we'll go for England, yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No, surely the Queen opens the Commonwealth Games?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm sure Chris Hoy was there at the ceremony but doesn't
0:03:03 > 0:03:06the Queen say, "I declare these Games open?"
0:03:06 > 0:03:07I reckon she does.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The Queen.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15That would have been embarrassing to get that one wrong.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Yeah, we'll go for platform diving.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22We went to watch that in Glasgow, as well.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30I don't think South Africa.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, South Africa weren't allowed to be in any international sport.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It could have been pre-apartheid, couldn't it?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Go South Africa.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It can't have been in Jamaica.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44It hasn't been in Jamaica.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Really?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50It's England.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55It's Birmingham, isn't it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It was supposed to be South Africa.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58It just got moved.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Scientists are warning as many as 70% of the world s King Penguins
0:04:02 > 0:04:06could disappear over the next 80 years or have to move
0:04:06 > 0:04:08from where they live because of global warming.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's thought over a million pairs could struggle to find food
0:04:11 > 0:04:14for their babies where they usually breed in the Antarctic.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Environmental change is now thought to be happeneing faster
0:04:16 > 0:04:21than the birds are able to adapt.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Take a look at this rare white stoat
0:04:24 > 0:04:27caught on camera in a garden in North Yorkshire.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The tiny mammals are normally a rusty brown colour
0:04:30 > 0:04:33but they can shed their coats and replace them with a special
0:04:33 > 0:04:37white one when temperatures are lower than average.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Perfect for this week on the North Yorkshire Moors.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm back in just over half an hour.
0:04:45 > 0:04:53See you then.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Send us your snow reports.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Send us your snow reports.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Bye!
