Good morning. I am Ayshah. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
First, to the latest on Hurricane Matthew. | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
The storm has battered the coast of Florida in the US, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
leaving four people dead and one million without power. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
It has since weakened and is heading north towards Georgia. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
But it is the Caribbean island of Haiti which has suffered | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Thousands of homes have been destroyed, | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
As rescue teams try to reach cut off areas, it is estimated more than 800 | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Haiti sits in an area of the Caribbean where lots | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
of big storms happen. BBC Weatherman Simon King | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
explains why poorer countries, like Haiti, struggle to cope | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
For Haiti, as a poor country, they have got | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
rid of a lot of their trees on the mountains, | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
so all the rain comes down into the settlements below, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Because they do not have as much money as they are neighbours | :01:02. | :01:16. | |
Dominican Republic, the structures are not quite as strong. There are | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
very prone then to the effects of these hurricanes. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
This is a serious story, so if you are upset by this news, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
there is plenty of help for you on the website. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
To the man who ran 401 marathons in 401 days. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Ben Smith set himself the challenge to raise money | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
for anti-bullying charities, because he was targeted by bullies | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
401 marathons, in 401 days. That is a lot of running. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
Just so you know, one marathon equals just around 26 miles. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
So, Ben Smith has run a total of 10,513 miles! | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
That is more than the distance between the UK and Australia! | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
Ben has been running to raise money for anti-bullying charities. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
He says he was picked on when he was younger. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
During his mammoth marathon, he has visited 309 locations | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
throughout the UK and popped into 101 schools along the way. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
After 284 days, he had to stop for more than a week | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
Since then, he has been making up for lost time and, today, | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
You can hang up those trainers for now, Ben! | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Last up, the baby whale who helped out its mum when she got | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
It happened near Brisbane in Australia. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
The calf pushed the adult whale, who then splashed | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Mum and baby were then seen swimming off happily. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
That is it for no. We are back just before midday. | :02:58. | :03:03. |
