this afternoon. On the way: Justin Bieber's latest album misses the top

:00:12.:00:14.

40 and we check out the latest gadgets revealed at a major tech

:00:15.:00:16.

show in Las Vegas. First, many parts of the UK are

:00:17.:00:26.

still at risk of flooding today as large waves continue to batter the

:00:27.:00:29.

coasts of southern and western Britain. There are more than 100

:00:30.:00:33.

flood warnings across the country, with heavy rain forecast for south

:00:34.:00:37.

and south-east England. There are three severe warnings in Dorset,

:00:38.:00:40.

which means there's a danger to life. In the Welsh coastal town of

:00:41.:00:51.

Aberystwyth, one of the worst-hit areas, people are starting to clear

:00:52.:00:55.

up the mess that's been caused by the storm. Newsround has been

:00:56.:00:57.

speaking to children living there. Some of them had to leave their

:00:58.:01:01.

homes for safety. On Friday night, we were evacuated. Me and my sisters

:01:02.:01:07.

had to go to my grandmothers. I wasn't scared. There were bricks and

:01:08.:01:13.

stones everywhere. I was really upset because we play on the front a

:01:14.:01:20.

lot in the summer. Everything was blown up. Everything was just

:01:21.:01:25.

damaged. All the railings were knocked off and the tiles were blown

:01:26.:01:29.

away, the flower beds were wrecked. There was sand all over the road.

:01:30.:01:33.

They must have been a huge storm. And Jenny has been down there all

:01:34.:01:38.

day watching the clear up. How long do you think it will take until

:01:39.:01:41.

things are back to normal? We've only just started today. We are

:01:42.:01:47.

starting on the clearing and we don't know how long it is going to

:01:48.:01:51.

take until we get into the work. It will take weeks to do the work and

:01:52.:01:55.

longer to do the repairs afterwards. Over on the other side of the

:01:56.:01:59.

Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic blast that's sweeping across North America

:02:00.:02:01.

is now heading east towards New York. Half of the US has been

:02:02.:02:05.

affected by the windy chill, with people being told their skin could

:02:06.:02:09.

freeze if they go outside! In one part of mid America, temperatures

:02:10.:02:15.

have hit minus 30 degrees Celsius. Forecasters say it hasn't been this

:02:16.:02:18.

cold in 20 years. And you can check out some stunning

:02:19.:02:21.

pictures of America's big freeze right now over on the Newsround

:02:22.:02:24.

website. There are some incredible scenes there.

:02:25.:02:27.

Next, some of the freshest gadgets on the planet are being shown off in

:02:28.:02:32.

America right now. There's loads on offer from bendy TVs to the latest

:02:33.:02:36.

smartphone technology. So we got Ricky and Leah to take a look and

:02:37.:02:41.

bring you the highlights. 5,000 miles away, gadget lovers in

:02:42.:02:45.

Las Vegas are getting very excited about the latest must have, shiny

:02:46.:02:50.

new things. It happens every year and while there's so much on offer.

:02:51.:02:54.

Sit back and let us bring you the most talked about technology. This

:02:55.:02:59.

is the Mother. Why? Well, thanks to these sensors it can monitor most

:03:00.:03:03.

things around the house from whether you've brushed your teeth to what

:03:04.:03:06.

time you get home from school. It gathers the data and downloads it

:03:07.:03:09.

onto a computer. So your parents know just how long you've really

:03:10.:03:14.

spent cleaning your teeth. Take a look at the latest drone flying high

:03:15.:03:20.

above the sky in Las Vegas. Experts reckon these unmanned arial vehicles

:03:21.:03:23.

will have more uses in the future, from monitoring crops on farms to

:03:24.:03:27.

helping search and rescue teams. 2014 is the year of the curve.

:03:28.:03:32.

Samsung showed off this huge TV with a bendy screen which they believe

:03:33.:03:35.

gives you a better view of your favourite shows. Finally these sport

:03:36.:03:43.

enthusiast got to try out the latest wearable tech from sweat proof head

:03:44.:03:46.

phones, smart headbands that measure your pulse and my favourite, the ear

:03:47.:03:49.

phones that apparently will never fall out no matter what you do. But

:03:50.:03:54.

we've come up with something that's not on show in Las Vegas this year.

:03:55.:03:58.

The toilet roll speakers. And best of all it will cost you nothing.

:03:59.:04:10.

Last up, is Justin Bieber losing his touch? His latest album has failed

:04:11.:04:13.

to make the UK Top 40! Journals has peaked at only number 46 in the

:04:14.:04:18.

charts. It was released in a slightly different way, with a

:04:19.:04:21.

different track coming out each week over three months. All of the

:04:22.:04:24.

Canadian singer's previous albums have made the top 20.

:04:25.:04:29.

Now we had to show you this next footage. We've all heard the jokes

:04:30.:04:33.

about why the chicken crossed the road. Well, these chickens, should

:04:34.:04:41.

they want to, can now cross a little bit more safely maybe. Thanks to one

:04:42.:04:45.

of these hi-vis jackets! The company behind them claim they keep the

:04:46.:04:48.

chickens warm and dry and make it easier for owners to see where they

:04:49.:04:52.

are during the dark winter nights. The coats even come in two colours,

:04:53.:04:56.

pink and yellow. No yolk! Oh, dear. That's all from me. Newsround's back

:04:57.:05:01.

right here at 6.50pm. Don't forget, there is loads more stuff online
