Good morning, I'm Leah, with Newsround on Saturday first

:00:00.:00:00.

February. Keep watching for our look ahead to

:00:07.:00:10.

one of the most thrilling sporting events of the year.

:00:11.:00:17.

Before that, the areas of the UK that have been soaked by January's

:00:18.:00:21.

heavy rain are in for another major soaking today. More rain, more high

:00:22.:00:24.

tides and more strong winds are on their way. And there are more than

:00:25.:00:28.

170 flood warnings now in place across England and Wales. Nine of

:00:29.:00:31.

them are severe, which means a serious risk to people's safety. The

:00:32.:00:35.

worst affected places are in the south-west of England. Tides are

:00:36.:00:38.

also expected to get really high on parts of the Welsh coast.

:00:39.:00:47.

We have got sandbags out on the front of hotels. We have police,

:00:48.:00:51.

coastguard and members of the Council along the seafront, keeping

:00:52.:00:54.

an eye on what is happening. But there is not much that can be done

:00:55.:00:57.

at the moment. People are particularly wary.

:00:58.:00:59.

Next, today marks the start of the Rugby Union Six Nations tournament.

:01:00.:01:02.

Kicking off proceedings are Italy and Wales with the rest to follow

:01:03.:01:06.

across the weekend. But, which nation will be lifting the famous

:01:07.:01:09.

trophy this year? Who better to ask than England and Sale Sharks star

:01:10.:01:11.

Mark Cueto? England have got a great chance of

:01:12.:01:30.

winning. They have been the runner up in the previous 26 Nations. They

:01:31.:01:36.

have got a tough start. Next week they have got Scotland away. Their

:01:37.:01:42.

fly-half has one of the best goal kicking in Europe, it will be

:01:43.:01:46.

exciting to see how they get on. Wales are a team that always get

:01:47.:01:52.

going for the six Nations. Their starting team this weekend has 11

:01:53.:01:57.

British Lions from last summer. They have got a massively strong team.

:01:58.:02:04.

They are the guys to keep an eye out for. The star man, Brian O'Driscoll,

:02:05.:02:10.

the most capped ever player for Ireland is their callous man. They

:02:11.:02:14.

will be looking to go out with a bang. They are always competitive,

:02:15.:02:20.

but generally they are down the bottom part of the table. But if

:02:21.:02:28.

England lose at the weekend, then the second week will be Scotland up

:02:29.:02:34.

at Murrayfield and the Scottish will be really targeting that game. For

:02:35.:02:38.

me, it'll be either England or France who win the six Nations.

:02:39.:02:40.

Check out some stunning pictures of Chinese New Year celebrations on the

:02:41.:02:45.

Newsround website. And, feeling brainy?

:02:46.:02:50.

Then try our brand new quiz! That's all for now.

:02:51.:02:53.

I'll be back just before midday with your next Newsround update. Have a

:02:54.:02:55.

great morning. Bye!

:02:56.:03:01.
