It's Sunday, it's Mother's Day, I'm Ricky and this is Newsround. On the

:00:00.:00:08.

way: What do these bones unearthed in London tell us about the Black

:00:09.:00:11.

Death? Hi, I'm Millie Knight, Winter

:00:12.:00:14.

Paralympian. Stay tuned - I'm answering your questions.

:00:15.:00:23.

First up, The Guide Dogs charity is calling for a ban on parking on

:00:24.:00:27.

pavements. The charity say it blocks the way for blind people and those

:00:28.:00:30.

who are partially sighted, forcing them to walk into the road putting

:00:31.:00:34.

them at risk of being hit by oncoming traffic. There's already a

:00:35.:00:37.

ban on parking on pavements on most London streets - the charity want

:00:38.:00:41.

the same to happen across the rest of the country.

:00:42.:00:45.

The dog is here to help me, but there is also a risk of her being

:00:46.:00:50.

hit by a car. It's a big risk, not just for me but for other disabled

:00:51.:00:52.

people. People in wheelchairs, people with

:00:53.:00:56.

pushchairs. Human skeletons dug up in central

:00:57.:01:00.

London have been found to be Black Death victims from the 14th Century.

:01:01.:01:04.

The Great Plague swept across Britain and Europe killing more than

:01:05.:01:09.

50 million people. It's recorded as one of the deadliest events in human

:01:10.:01:12.

history. The skeletons were unearthed as builders worked on a

:01:13.:01:15.

brand new railway beneath the streets of London. Archaeologists

:01:16.:01:18.

believe the corpses may be part of an enormous emergency burial pit

:01:19.:01:21.

where thousands of plague victims were dumped 600 years ago. Its

:01:22.:01:24.

precise location hasn't been known until now.

:01:25.:01:31.

It's hugely important. It's a 600-year-old cemetery below the park

:01:32.:01:34.

here where we are. It was set out specifically for the Black Death in

:01:35.:01:38.

the mid-14th century. It's a hugely important site for London and

:01:39.:01:45.

further afield. Next up, thousands of you took part

:01:46.:01:49.

in the Sport Relief Games at the weekend and a record ?53 million was

:01:50.:01:53.

raised for the charity - but now the fundraising is over, what happens

:01:54.:02:04.

next? Here's Martin with more. Radsy swam for it. Davina ran for

:02:05.:02:08.

it. And Grimmie cycled for it. These two sat down a lot, and Alex Jones

:02:09.:02:13.

clung on for it. Loads of celebrities got involved in raising

:02:14.:02:16.

money for Sport Relief. Hello, Sport Relief 2014.

:02:17.:02:22.

And whether it's running, cycling or swimming, thousands of you took part

:02:23.:02:26.

to help raise money for people in the UK and around the world. What

:02:27.:02:31.

happens next? In the UK, the money goes to help people who are homeless

:02:32.:02:38.

or suffered domestic abuse. Across the world, money raised goes to

:02:39.:02:41.

provide education for children, freshwater and vaccinations.

:02:42.:02:50.

Deciding where the money goes is about as difficult as raising it in

:02:51.:02:54.

the first place. The most important thing is that we use it to do great

:02:55.:02:58.

work, and to help people whose lives can be changed with that extra

:02:59.:03:02.

little bit of an injection of cash. People have to apply to us for the

:03:03.:03:06.

money, against a set of guidelines that we have written up, and then we

:03:07.:03:10.

try to choose the best of those projects to make the biggest

:03:11.:03:13.

difference to the lives of our beneficiaries.

:03:14.:03:15.

So far, more than ?53 million has been raised. It's still coming in.

:03:16.:03:19.

The money will be sent to those in need, and that's not the end because

:03:20.:03:22.

the Sport Relief team are already planning what to do next year.

:03:23.:03:25.

Next, perfectly timed for Mother's Day, an official photo has been

:03:26.:03:28.

released of Prince George with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

:03:29.:03:31.

Eight-month old baby George is pictured in his mother's arms as

:03:32.:03:34.

Prince William holds their pet dog Lupo. The pic was taken at their

:03:35.:03:38.

Kensington Palace home, ahead of their royal tour of Australia and

:03:39.:03:40.

New Zealand. So, a happy mother's day to Kate and

:03:41.:03:44.

mums everywhere. We're asking you to head to the Newsround website tell

:03:45.:03:47.

us your mother's day plans. You've been sending in your comments all

:03:48.:03:49.

morning. Keep those comments coming in.

:03:50.:04:09.

Sport now - and let's hear from one of our Paralympic GB favourites,

:04:10.:04:13.

Millie Knight. At just 15 years old she was chosen to carry the flag for

:04:14.:04:17.

her country and the Sochi Games in Russia. Now she's back in the UK, we

:04:18.:04:21.

went to meet her and put some of your questions to lady herself.

:04:22.:04:28.

It's been my dream since I was tiny, and then I did it. It was very, very

:04:29.:04:35.

exciting. When I came back to school everybody was really excited to see

:04:36.:04:38.

me, and saying well done. It was quite weird, really, because before

:04:39.:04:40.

people were just like: I get really, really nervous before

:04:41.:04:49.

races but for these races I'm really excited. I couldn't wait to get down

:04:50.:04:52.

the course. It was such an honour to be part of

:04:53.:04:57.

it. I can't wait for 2018 where, hopefully, I will be following in

:04:58.:05:00.

Kelly and Jade's footsteps and winning medals. I've been on this

:05:01.:05:04.

team since 2012, and its 2014 now so two years. But obviously I had been

:05:05.:05:06.

skiing before then. When I'm training on the snow, I

:05:07.:05:20.

train through courses and gates, and then when I'm not on the snow I go

:05:21.:05:25.

to the gym, so I do a lot of cycling and a lot of rowing. Sticking with

:05:26.:05:29.

sport and good news for driver Lewis Hamilton - he's won the Malaysian

:05:30.:05:32.

Formula One Grand Prix. He started the race in pole position

:05:33.:05:35.

but faced tough competition from his Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg. But

:05:36.:05:39.

he pulled through and Rosberg had to settle for second place. The win is

:05:40.:05:42.

Hamilton's first in Malaysia and first since his win at last year's

:05:43.:05:46.

Hungarian Grand Prix That's all from me, Newsround's back for your last

:05:47.:05:49.

bulletin of the day just before 2pm.
