Hi, I'm Ricky with another quick update. Coming up: Cars that talk to | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
each other to avoid crashes could soon be on our roads. Has this | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
decision man conquered the biggest wave ever surfed? This is Newsround. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
But first, the Prince of Wales will be in Somerset in the south west of | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
England later today, visiting people affected by the floods. He'll meet | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
residents battling to cope with flood damage, farmers and members of | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
the emergency services. The Somerset Levels have seen some of the worst | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
flooding in recent weeks with large areas of land still under water, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
leaving whole villages cut off. Forecasters are predicting more wind | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
and high waves across the south of England later today. | :00:49. | :00:58. | |
Next, America's plan to introduce cars that talk to each other. The | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
government there want to cut the number of road deaths each year so | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
they're working on technology that lets vehicles warn other if they're | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
in danger of colliding. A radio signal constantly transmits | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
position, direction and speed to other cars. Some systems might even | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
automatically brake to avoid an accident. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
One of the world's most popular websites is celebrating its 10th | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
birthday today. Facebook was launched in 2004 by a young | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
university student over in America. A decade later and the social media | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
website has more than 1.2 billion active users worldwide. On average | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
750 million people log on each day. Facebook, which is only for | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
13-year-olds and over has also come under fire from critics who say the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
site stores too much of our private information. | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
Next, do you speak a foreign language? Well if not the chances | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
are you'll be learning one soon. From September all primary schools | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
in England will have to teach foreign languages. But it might not | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
be the traditional French or German you're learning, because if the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Prime Minister gets his way, more of you will be being taught the Chinese | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
language, Mandarin. Here's Nel with more. | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
It is the most common language in China and is spoken by nearly 1 | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
billion people around the world. Soon, you could be learning | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Mandarin. Lots of kids only get to learn another language at secondary | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
school, but soon that is about to change. From September all primary | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
schools will have to learn a foreign language. In the past kids have | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
learned Spanish, French and German. But now the Prime Minister thinks | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
Mandarin could be useful to learn. China is the world's most populist | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
country and is one of the most wealthiest. The UK Government thing | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
if more people can speak Mandarin here, then the more business Britain | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
can do with China. At this school in Hampshire, 150 kids are learning | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Mandarin. A third of their lessons are taught in the language. I love | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Mandarin because I don't find it easy learning other languages and | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Mandarin, I like how the characters are put together. It is important | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
because it means I can go to few -- go to China in the future I get a | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
good job. With the UK doing more business with China, more and more | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
of you could be... Chelsea became the first side this | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
season to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Branislav | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Ivanovic's goal in the first half was enough for a 1-0 win. It's been | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
three years since City went goalless at home. It means Jose Mourinho's | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
side stay third in the table, but level on points with second-placed | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
City. The Chelsea boss says he didn't even have to give the team | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
talk, it was the players' massage man! | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
I did not speak. I am serious. What did he tell them? He was screaming | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
so much in Scottish, I did not understand. I am serious. I did not | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
understand, but the players were all clapping. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
OK, let's go. A British man thinks he may have | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
woken the record for the biggest wave ever surfed. This is an 80 foot | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
wave being surfed by Andrew Cotton. It is in Portugal. It could be the | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
highest that has ever been ridden. We won't know until May when a surf | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
company officially measure it. Plenty of good stuff on the website. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
The story of how police in Bristol are on the lookout for what may be | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
an escaped crocodile. We are | :05:01. | :05:01. |
