0:00:04 > 0:00:05Morning, all.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Ricky here with your top stories this freezing Tuesday.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10On the way.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Who's got snow and who hasn't?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The ninja skater with a secret talent.
0:00:17 > 0:00:25And just what is this unusual animal caught on camera in the UK?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35First up, did you wake up to snow this morning?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Well, lots of you across the UK did, although maybe not quite so much
0:00:38 > 0:00:40as weather forecasts predicted.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Up to eight centimetres of the white stuff fell in Northumberland.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Now that's got to be enough for a snowman.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49There was about a centimetre of the white stuff in parts
0:00:49 > 0:00:50of south east England.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Temperatures were pretty cold too.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57In the Highlands it was as low as minus 8.5 degrees.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59In Northern Ireland, south west England and East Anglia
0:00:59 > 0:01:02it dropped to minus six!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Some schools are shut so check before you set off.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And we want your snow videos.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Head to Newsround online to find out how to send them on your phones.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Now the Winter Olympics may have just finished but we only
0:01:16 > 0:01:18have to wait 36 days until the Commonwealth
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Games in Australia.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Amongst the big names competing on the Gold Coast for Team England,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25are the Brownlee Brothers.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Both hoping for a medal in the Triathlon.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, they came into Newsround HQ for a chat and we decided to test
0:01:31 > 0:01:34their Commonwealth knowledge.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Hi, Newsround.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37I'm Alistair Brownlee.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38And I'm Jonny Brownlee.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And we compete in triathlon.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48I think it's earlier.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49I think it's 1930.
0:01:49 > 0:01:56We'll go for 1930.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'd go for 63 for some reason.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I don't know.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06OK, we'll go for 63.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Should've gone to the middle.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Should've listened to me.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Sailing.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Is shooting in?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15No, it's not in Birmingham.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's just been taken out of Birmingham.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So sailing is not in?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Yeah, sailing.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Sailing.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'm fairly confident it's not Canada.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's Australia or England.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34And I reckon it's probably...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Australia cos swimming.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah, but England normally come top of the medal field.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Didn't they come top of the medal field last time?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We have to go for the home crowd.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47All right, we'll go for England, yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58No, surely the Queen opens the Commonwealth Games?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'm sure Chris Hoy was there at the ceremony but doesn't
0:03:00 > 0:03:03the Queen say, "I declare these Games open?"
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I reckon she does.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07The Queen.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13That would have been embarrassing to get that one wrong.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Yeah, we'll go for platform diving.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20We went to watch that in Glasgow, as well.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28I don't think South Africa.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well, South Africa weren't allowed to be in any international sport.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It could have been pre-apartheid, couldn't it?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Go South Africa.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39It can't have been in Jamaica.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It hasn't been in Jamaica.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Really?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It's England.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50It's Birmingham, isn't it?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It was supposed to be South Africa.
0:03:52 > 0:03:59It just got moved.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Room for improvement there.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Room for improvement there.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Next, let's meet one nine year old skateboarder who's come up
0:04:05 > 0:04:08with a secret weapon to get to the top in her sport.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14There is lots of girls skateboarding but there's just more boys.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I think when girls go to skate park there's loads of boys there,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22they might get intimidated but you should not think that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24They will think you're really cool cos you're starting
0:04:24 > 0:04:25and that's a good thing.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Well said.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30This supercool skater is Lola and she's the only girl competing in
0:04:30 > 0:04:32a local skateboarding competition.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35To make sure she can pull off best flicks and tricks,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Lola has a single weapon.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42She's also a ballet dancer.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I don't know any skateboarders that do ballet except for me.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49It gets my legs strong so I can pump really hard.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I've got a six-pack.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56I like actually do.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Here she is competing in front of the judges and it looks
0:04:59 > 0:05:03like the pirouettes and pointy toes are certainly helping.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's results time.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Lola came in fourth beating most of her rivals.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I think my ballet helps because they said I looked
0:05:11 > 0:05:13graceful and stylish.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So what would this twinkle-toed daredevil like to see in future?
0:05:16 > 0:05:24I wish they would be more girls so we could join a gang.
0:05:28 > 0:05:36I think girls should start doing it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Well done, Lola. She's amazing, isn't she?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Take a look at this rare white stoat caught on camera
0:05:45 > 0:05:46in a garden in North Yorkshire.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The tiny mammals are normally a rusty brown colour but they can
0:05:49 > 0:05:52shed their coats and replace them with a special white
0:05:52 > 0:05:54one when temperatures are lower than average.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Perfect for this week on the North Yorkshire Moors.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Thanks for watching.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58We're back at 4.20pm this afternoon.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Wrap up warm.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Bye!
