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.
