27/02/2018 Newsround

Hi, I'm Ricky.

Coming up on Newsround

on this freezing cold day.

Who's got snow and who hasn't?

Just what is this unusual animal

caught on camera? In the UK?

First up, did you wake up

to snow this morning?

Well lots of you across the UK did

although maybe not quite so much

as weather forecasts predicted.

Up to eight centimetres of the white

stuff felt in Northumberland.

Now that's got to be

enough for a snowman.

There was about a centimetre

of the white stuff in parts

of south east England.

Temperatures were pretty cold too -

in the Highlands it was as low

as minus 8.5 degrees

in Northern Ireland,

south west England and East Anglia

it dropped to minus six!

Some schools are shut

so check before you set off.

So did it snow overnight

where you are?

We want Newsround viewers to send

us their special weather reports -

get your tablet or phones out,

get filming, and show

us how it looks.

Head over to the website to find out

how to send your videos to us.

Now the Winter Olympics

may have just finished

but we only have to wait 36 days

until the Commonwealth

Games in Australia.

Amongst the big names competing

on the Gold Coast for Team England

are the Brownlee Brothers,

both hoping for a medal

in the Triathlon.

Well, they came into Newsround HQ

for a chat and we decided

to test their

Commonwealth knowledge.

Hi, Newsround.

I'm Alistair Brownlee.

And I'm Jonny Brownlee.

And we compete in triathlon.

I think it's earlier.

I think it's 1930.

We'll go for 1930.

I'd go for 63 for some reason.

I don't know.

OK, we'll go for 63.

Should've gone to the middle.

Should've listened to me.

Sailing.

Is shooting in?

No, it's not in Birmingham.

It's just been taken

out of Birmingham.

So sailing is not in?

Yeah, sailing.

Sailing.

I'm fairly confident

it's not Canada.

It's Australia or England.

And I reckon it's probably...

Australia cos swimming.

Yeah, but England normally come

top of the medal field.

Didn't they come top

of the medal field last time?

We have to go for the home crowd.

All right, we'll go

for England, yeah.

No, surely the Queen opens

the Commonwealth Games?

I'm sure Chris Hoy was there

at the ceremony but doesn't

the Queen say, "I declare these

Games open?"

I reckon she does.

The Queen.

That would have been embarrassing

to get that one wrong.

Yeah, we'll go for platform diving.

We went to watch that

in Glasgow, as well.

Yeah.

I don't think South Africa.

Well, South Africa weren't allowed

to be in any international sport.

It could have been

pre-apartheid, couldn't it?

Go South Africa.

It can't have been in Jamaica.

It hasn't been in Jamaica.

Really?

It's England.

It's Birmingham, isn't it?

It was supposed to be South Africa.

It just got moved.

Scientists are warning as many

as 70% of the world s King Penguins

could disappear over the next 80

years or have to move

from where they live

because of global warming.

It's thought over a million pairs

could struggle to find food

for their babies where they usually

breed in the Antarctic.

Environmental change is now thought

to be happeneing faster

than the birds are able to adapt.

Take a look at this rare white stoat

caught on camera in a garden

in North Yorkshire.

The tiny mammals are normally

a rusty brown colour

but they can shed their coats

and replace them with a special

white one when temperatures

are lower than average.

Perfect for this week

on the North Yorkshire Moors.

I'm back in just over half an hour.

See you then.

Send us your snow reports.

Send us your snow reports.

Bye!
