Hi, guys, I'm Ayshah with your Tuesday afternoon headlines, and | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
here's what's coming up. Surfing what could be the biggest | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
wave, we find out, using giraffes, just how tall that might be. And... | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
I am the daddy! Yes, he's the daddy, we meet the man who ran 5,000 miles | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
across Canada, dressed as a superhero. This is Newsround. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
First, the future king had to travel by boat and tractor today to visit | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
people in flood-hit Somerset, where 25 square miles of the county is | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
under water. Prince Charles has been spending the day speaking to | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
families, farmers and emergency-service workers to see the | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
damaged caused by the flooding, which has lasted for more than a | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
month. The Prince's Countryside Fund is going to give ?50,000 from its | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
emergency fund to help farmers and communities in the area. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe they're enduring terrible weather too, but | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
with added ice. Slovenia is having some of the worst winter blizzards | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
for decades. A quarter of houses have been left without electricity, | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
transport has been disrupted, and more than a third of the country's | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
schools are closed. Next up, meet Jamie McDonald, no | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
stranger to cold places either. He's thought to be the first person ever | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
to run solo from one end of Canada to the other. That's 5,000 miles! He | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
took up the gruelling challenge to help raise money for children's | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
charities, and 275 days later he spoke to Leah about his epic | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
journey. Who is the daddy?! Who is the | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
daddy?! Jamie, AKA the Flash. A sportsman and an all-round | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
superhero. I am the daddy! And he's achieved something no other person | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
has done before. He ran 5,000 miles across Canada, which is kind of like | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
running 200 marathons. Dealing with sub-zero temperatures, he went | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
through ten pairs of trainers. He slept on the streets and did it all | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
dressed as his favourite superhero. What was the biggest challenge for | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
you? This was one year-long! I got frostbite on my nose, and I thought | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
I was going to lose it. Luckily, I haven't, it is still there! Every | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
single step was painful, but I had to make a decision whether I quit or | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
continue on. But Jamie kept on going. Having spent the first nine | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
years of his life in hospital, he managed to raise more than ?100,000 | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
for kids here in the UK. It's unreal! I was a tennis teacher back | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
home, and it would have taken me five years to have earned that, and | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
to have in 11 months I'm so proud. But why the outfit? Because I | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
thought it would raise a bit more money for the children's hospitals, | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
but actually thinking about it, anyone can be a superhero So after | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
this incredible journey, what's top of Jamie must-do list? I would love | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
a roast dinner, but not just any roast dinner, my Mum's roast dinner. | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
What a guy! If that's inspired you to do something amazing, head to the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
website right now and let us know what your epic challenge would be. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Check out our story about how Harry Styles's dad reckons he's not as | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
clever as his sister. And you can also read all about our next story, | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
giant rats the size of sheep. Yep, my worst nightmare. If you've | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
ever seen a rat, you'll know they're normally pretty small. So can you | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
imagine one the size of a sheep? Well, that's what scientists reckon | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
we could see in the future. It's thought that over a long time, rats | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
could fill the gaps left by larger animals as they become extinct. With | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
the space to grow, rats could evolve to grow bigger and bigger. But don't | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
worry, we won't be seeing giant rats for a long time yet. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Last up, to a British man who may have broken the record for the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
biggest wave ever surfed. This is an 80 foot wave being surfed by Andrew | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Cotton at a legendary surf spot off Nazare in Portugal on Sunday. It | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
could be the highest that's ever been ridden. At 80 feet, the wave | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
was as tall as four giraffes, eight TARDISes or 15 Newsround Nels. We | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
won't know for sure if he's made the record books until May, when surf | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
company Billabong officially measure it, but we asked him how you catch a | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
monster wave like that. It is something that I have trained for | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
all my life, I know the ocean very well. You know when it is right. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Even though it happened in seconds, like it was a few seconds, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
everything was in slow motion. I just couldn't go fast enough, I was | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
hurtling down, it was massive, but I did not realise it would be the | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
biggest one ever. That's all from me and the Newsround | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
team. | :05:03. | :05:03. |
