(clears throat)

(laughs)

- Hello, everybo--

(clears throat)

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to Elmo's World News.

This is Reporter Elmo, coming to you from...

Reporter Elmo's new studio.

This is a little embarrassing.

This isn't Reporter Elmo's World News studio.

This is Reporter Elmo's bedroom.

(laughs)

Daddy?

- [Louie] Son?

- Can Daddy please help Reporter Elmo move

into Elmo's World News set that we made?

- [Louie] Sure thing, son.

- Thank you.

Excuse us for just one second.

Talk amongst yourselves.

(Louie grunting)

- [Louie] Looks like we're all set up and ready to go, son.

- Oh, thank you, Daddy.

Yeah, that's more like it.

Oh, okay, play music.

(dramatic music)

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Elmo's World News.

Today, Reporter Elmo and some special reporter friends

will share fun news from around the whole world.

You'll hear all about kids learning and playing

while they're staying safe.

First, let's go to Special Reporter Cookie Monster.

Me not ready.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Me still making this special box for me report.

- Oh.

Okay, no problem, Cookie Monster.

- Okay, okay. - Reporter Elmo

will come back in a minute. - See you in 10.

(laughs)

Okay.

♪ Dum dee dum dum ♪

(whimsical music)

- See you in 10.

Well, that's live TV, everybody.

(laughs)

Just gotta roll with it, you know?

Okay, do we have any reporters that are ready right now?

Hmm?

Oh, of course, the weather.

Thank you.

Every news show needs a weather report,

so let's go now to Weather Reporter Grover.

- Thank you, Reporter Elmo.

It is I, your adorable Weather Reporter Grover,

and as you can see, there is going to be a lot of weather.

We have clouds over here,

which were chased away by sunny days over there.

Sunny days, my favorite.

I like to go for a nice long walk on sunny days,

but sometimes I cannot go outside.

So instead I bring the outside inside.

Do you know how to do that?

By using your imagination.

Walk with me.

(playful music)

Let us pretend this lamp is the sun.

Wow, that sun is bright.

Do you feel that?

On sunny days, I have to get my sunglasses

to protect my cute little eyes.

Ah, now I am ready to go for an imaginary walk in the park.

(humming)

Sometimes my walk turns into more of a jog.

(panting)

Exercise is good for you.

Move those little legs, faster, faster.

(panting)

Okay, okay, that is enough jogging.

Whoo!

Now I am hot.

Whoo, in fact, I am very hot.

I feel like the sun really is in this room right now.

You know what?

Perhaps a nice breeze would help.

Yes, yes, yes.

(gasps)

And lookie there, a cute little fan to save the day.

(laughs)

Oh, that is nice.

Feel that breeze.

Maybe a little more breeze, huh?

Yeah.

(dramatic music) Oh, oh, that is strong, oh.

Mommy!

- Hello?

- Whoo.

(groans)

While this adorable weather reporter fixes his fur,

take a look at these kids around the world,

and how they use their imaginations

to bring the outside inside.

Ha, ha.

(cheerful music)

- [Elmo] Look at that.

A friend in Bangladesh is flying a kite inside.

- [Man] Oh, yeah, score!

- [Grover] Now that is an inventive way to use a broomstick.

- [Elmo] She's painting a picture of the outside

while she's sitting inside.

Look at that.

There's our friend Pauline, pretending to catch fish inside.

- [Grover] Nice pillow slide.

- [Elmo] Oh, Elmo wants to try that!

There's Lola, pretending to explore outside

with her binoculars, and look, she's not the only one.

There's our friend in Jordan.

- And that is today's weather news.

Back to you, Reporter Elmo.

- Thank you, Weather Reporter Grover.

Boy, Reporter Elmo wants

to try bringing the outside inside too.

Hmm, what does Elmo like to do outside?

Yeah, baby, yeah!

Riding his tricycle in the park!

(cheerful music)

♪ Elmo's riding ♪

♪ Riding in the park today ♪

Oh, come on, everybody, let's all pretend

to ride our tricycles in the park.

(laughs) (cheerful music)

Whoa, Elmo hears the wind blowing through the trees.

Oh, and Elmo hears

(birds chirping) the pretty birdies singing.

Yeah!

Hmm, what else does Elmo hear?

(bell dings) Ding, ding, ding!

That's the bell.

(laughs)

And now, we have a question for Special Reporter Abby.

- It's Abby's Advice, where I get letters from friends

and try to help them solve a problem.

- Dear Abby, I can't play outside right now

with my new sister, so what can a big brother do?

Signed, Soon-to-Be Sibling.

- Well, I know about being a big sister,

because I have a brother named Rudy.

It's a lot of fun to have a sibling.

You can read books to them.

- And they lived happily ever after.

- Sing songs with them.

♪ Do do do do ♪

- And play games like peek-a-boo with them.

- Peek-a-boo!

(all laugh)

- There's so many things you could do together.

- I can do all those things.

I can't wait to play inside with my new baby sister.

- You're gonna be a great big brother.

Can't wait 'til I get another letter.

(Abby laughs)

Twinkle out!

- Boy, that was fun!

Huh, what, what? (dramatic music)

Oh, yes, yes, thank you, thank you.

Breaking news: Special Reporter Raya, what'cha got?
