Hi, I'm Jenny with all the latest news stories just before midday.

:00:00.:00:00.

We find out about Superman's next mission.

:00:00.:00:11.

And the loom bands being turned into art.

:00:12.:00:19.

First, severe weather warnings have been issued in some parts of the UK

:00:20.:00:22.

as the remains of Hurricane Bertha makes its way to the UK.

:00:23.:00:26.

Bertha, which has been travelling across the Atlantic,

:00:27.:00:29.

caused chaos in the Caribbean earlier this week, with winds of up

:00:30.:00:32.

to 90 miles per hour and thousands of homes left without power.

:00:33.:00:36.

It's thought the whole of Wales will be worst affected,

:00:37.:00:38.

with heavy rains, strong winds and large waves on the coast predicted.

:00:39.:00:44.

If you think it's a bit of a boring and dull day, well you'd

:00:45.:00:48.

be completely right - because today is, in fact, Boring and Dull day.

:00:49.:00:51.

This is officially the second annual day of its kind.

:00:52.:00:54.

It came about after US town Boring paired up with the Scottish village

:00:55.:00:58.

The BBC's Glen Campbell travelled to Boring to find out

:00:59.:01:03.

Interestingly enough, Boring now has a sign up, making

:01:04.:01:10.

its partnership with Dull official, and the governor of the state

:01:11.:01:14.

of Oregon has signed a proclamation declaring August the 9th Boring and

:01:15.:01:20.

Now to the incredible story of a girl from Indonesia who's been

:01:21.:01:27.

reunited with her family, ten years after they thought she was lost.

:01:28.:01:30.

The 14-year old was separated from them in the 2004 tsunami that hit

:01:31.:01:34.

parts of Asia - one of the biggest natural disasters in history.

:01:35.:01:38.

Jannah was just four-years-old when she and her seven-year-old

:01:39.:01:44.

brother were carried away clinging onto wooden planks when huge waves

:01:45.:01:48.

The tsunami hit the country on Boxing Day and killed more than

:01:49.:01:56.

170,000 people in the area, and tens of thousands more in other

:01:57.:02:00.

The only thing I can remember is we were chatting as we waited on board.

:02:01.:02:09.

After a while, people came to help the next thing I

:02:10.:02:12.

The children's parents survived the tsunami didn't know

:02:13.:02:17.

if they would ever find their children alive again.

:02:18.:02:19.

But in June this year, Jannah's uncle spotted

:02:20.:02:24.

a girl walking home from school who looked very much like his niece.

:02:25.:02:27.

He asked around and found the girl had been saved

:02:28.:02:29.

The fishermen's elderly mother had then raised Jannah

:02:30.:02:36.

On hearing that her daughter had been found, the girl's

:02:37.:02:42.

When I saw her, I knew she was the one.

:02:43.:02:50.

We also saw her photos from childhood

:02:51.:02:52.

Jannah has now moved back to tbe with her birth parents

:02:53.:02:58.

and the couple now say they've been given fresh hope they can find

:02:59.:03:02.

Next, he was recently voted the nation's

:03:03.:03:07.

favourite children's TV character of all time, and now Shaun the Sheep

:03:08.:03:10.

120 Shaun sculptures will feature in a special trail

:03:11.:03:16.

The five-foot models mark the release of the Shaun the Sheep

:03:17.:03:21.

After the trail, the sheep will be sold to raise money for children

:03:22.:03:26.

Shaun creator Nick Park explains who'll be designing

:03:27.:03:29.

We are going to spread it out and invite lots of international artists

:03:30.:03:41.

and celebrities. We will keep going between now and then to get more

:03:42.:03:43.

artists involved and make the biggest we can.

:03:44.:03:46.

They're the tiny little rubber bands that have taken over

:03:47.:03:48.

Now it's thought loom bands could even be inspiring fashion

:03:49.:03:52.

Everybody is wearing them. They came about when a crash test engineer was

:03:53.:04:12.

spending time with his family. I got the idea. They were making bracelets

:04:13.:04:25.

so I came out with a more elaborate design. It is now worth millions of

:04:26.:04:31.

pounds and it looks like it is more than just a craze. These guys,

:04:32.:04:36.

village are involved in a national project to get kids are making art

:04:37.:04:42.

in school. They use loom bands but these sculptures. It is getting

:04:43.:04:47.

people doing things. It stops them doing nothing. It is creative, and

:04:48.:04:53.

it could lead to someone being a designer. It is not all good news.

:04:54.:04:59.

Hurting fingers and there are concerns it could not be good for

:05:00.:05:06.

the environment. It is very popular. We are thinking about how we can

:05:07.:05:14.

tell the customer how to be environmentally friendly. Loom bands

:05:15.:05:16.

on going anywhere soon. Next, he's known for saving

:05:17.:05:19.

the world, so Superman's latest The British actor, Henry Cavill,

:05:20.:05:22.

who plays Superman, has become an ambassador for

:05:23.:05:25.

the Durrell Wildlife Conservation The Trust works to prevent the

:05:26.:05:28.

extinction of endangered animals I came here as a boy and had decided

:05:29.:05:44.

to take it on as a charity. What they do here is close to my heart

:05:45.:05:49.

and it is something I think needs more attention.

:05:50.:05:50.

There's plenty more on our website, including a photo gallery

:05:51.:05:53.

of celebs hoping to vault and flip their way to victory in BBC

:05:54.:05:56.
