This is Newsround.

Hi, I'm Ricky.

Loads coming up, including...

And a lot off school for hundreds of

children in Yorkshire and the

north-east as the Beast from the

East begins to bite.

Also this morning, the supermarket

making a world-first

stand against plastic packaging.

Plus...

Toilet paper panic in Taiwan.

Keep watching.

First up, we're talking

about the super cold

weather that's hit the UK.

BBC reporter Phil Bodmer is braving

the cold in Yorkshire.

What's the picture like they are?

Lots of snow. I've held their local

school is closed, so a bonus day for

the children here. They will join

hundreds of others in the Yorkshire

area and the north-east of England

who had a day off yesterday. Today

byes-mac conditions are much worse

than they were yesterday. This is

the A170 road between the killing

and Scarborough on the Yorkshire

coast. They have had snow ploughs

along it today. But as soon as this

now ) through, we have more store.

We expect up to 12 centimetres

today. -- we have more snow. It

continues visual very cold. The

wind-chill in a is about -12 and it

really does cut you in half.

It

looks Kasim from a Christmas card.

Tell us, how do you stay warm? You

will be out all morning doing

reports on the BBC. How do you stay

warm?

This secret is, don't tell

anyone, I have some thermal

underwear on. The long jobs like

your dad used to wear. And some

thick coats. Most importantly, a cup

of coffee supplied by a local cafe.

We have our camera right outside the

cafe where we have toilets and the

drink on tap. What could be better?

Thank you, Phil. Stay warm.

Well, this is the scene

here in Salford outside our studio

where the snow has now

started to melt.

And across the country,

lots of you have woken up

to more of the white stuff.

Here's what you're saying

this morning about the

snow where you live.

This morning, I have woken up and

there is tonnes of snow. When I woke

this morning, my mum told me that my

skill was closed today. -- that my

school.

Hi. I woke up to see lots of

snow in my garden.

Today, my skill

is shot and it's full of snow. We

get to spend the whole day sledging!

Today, it's really snowing. So my

school is closed. And we can go

sledging and snowball fighting but

my daddy has had today today off

work. -- has had to take today.

Hi,

I'm Sam from Edinburgh. As you can

see, I've got a little bit of snow

this morning. I'm so happy because

schools is off. I'm going to play in

the snow all day.

The schools in

Edinburgh are on today.

My name is

Beth on, I'm a end I live in

Glasgow. Today, it's really snowing

and windy. My school is closed but I

really don't like this now. But I do

love sledging. -- really don't like

the snow.

I love how everyone is

still in their pyjamas! Brilliant.

A supermarket in

Amsterdam is opening

what it says is the world's

first plastic-free aisle.

An environmental campaign group

helped replace plastic

packaging with material -

that looks like plastic -

but does in fact break down over

time once it's thrown away.

The've replaced around 700 products

on the shop shelves.

The company says it hopes to roll

this trial out to all its stores

by the end of the year.

Amazing news for Swansea City fans.

Their team have reached

the quarter-finals of the FA Cup

for the first time in 54 years.

They beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0

at the Liberty Stadium.

Tottenham or Rochdale

await in the next round.

Next up, learning to play

the bagpipes is never easy.

It takes a lot of

patience and practice,

but for 10-year-old Guy

it's been even harder.

He was born with one hand

but it's been a dream of his

to learn to play the instrument.

But now his dream has come true

after a music teacher invented

the world's first one

handed digital bagpipe.

I've got five fingers,

but some are very small.

I've always felt special with it.

Not many people your age

want to learn to play the bagpipes.

What made you so interested

in that instrument?

My mum's Scottish so when we go up

there, we see my uncle Neil,

and he plays the bagpipes.

So I've seen them before.

It's not that difficult,

and you can just learn the scales.

And once you've got the notes

and the sound, you can

start learning songs.

Finally, shoppers in Taiwan

are getting in a frenzy over...

..loo roll?!

It's because of rumours that it's

going to get more expensive.

People have been rushing to stock up

with as much of the toilet tissue

as they can get their hands on.

Shops are asking people not

to panic, but shelves

are being emptied with buyers

worried about being caught short.

That's it for this morning.
