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. | :05:50. | :05:54. |
