I'm Jenny, live with your Sunday morning Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:09.

High winds and flash floods are expected today as the remains

:00:10.:00:13.

These pictures show the chaos she caused in the Caribbean last week.

:00:14.:00:19.

Bertha has weakened since then but volunteers from The Red Cross

:00:20.:00:22.

are on standby here in the UK in case homes need to be evacuated.BBC

:00:23.:00:27.

Weather's Chris Fawkes explains where Bertha

:00:28.:00:30.

Sometimes to understand where our weather comes from,

:00:31.:00:37.

This was Hurricane Bertha last week, just to the easr of Florida

:00:38.:00:43.

in the United States, over 4,000 miles away from the British Isles.

:00:44.:00:46.

Since then the hurricane has been drawn into a normal area of low

:00:47.:00:49.

pressure that has been quickly whizzing its way across the Atlantic

:00:50.:00:52.

and the remains of this hurricane, the moist air associated with it, is

:00:53.:00:56.

going to bring in an area of low pressure on Sunday across

:00:57.:00:58.

the British Isles, bringing us some pretty wet and windy weather.

:00:59.:01:06.

This weekend over 7,500 people have made their way to Bolton for the

:01:07.:01:09.

four day sporting extravaganza that is the British Transplant Games.

:01:10.:01:15.

Taking place every year, its aim is to help people who've had

:01:16.:01:18.

life saving transplants get their fitness back by playing sports.

:01:19.:01:22.

Organisers also hope the games will raise awareness

:01:23.:01:25.

I went to the opening day and spoke to 11-year-old Charlie, who had a

:01:26.:01:30.

kidney transplant donated from her grandad, about what it means to her.

:01:31.:01:34.

It is really important that kids like me come to the Transplant

:01:35.:01:37.

Games, because more people find out more about organ transplant.

:01:38.:01:42.

This is the third time I have come to the

:01:43.:01:45.

Transplant Games and competed in the obstacle race and it was so great.

:01:46.:01:51.

Speaking to Charlie, you can tell the games have been not

:01:52.:01:55.

only inspirational, but lots of fun as well.

:01:56.:01:59.

Next, to the story of nine-year-old James from Florida,

:02:00.:02:01.

who's recovering after fighting off an alligator, with his bare hands.

:02:02.:02:04.

James had been riding his bike with his friends,

:02:05.:02:06.

when he decided to go swimming in a dangerous lake near Orlando.

:02:07.:02:10.

He ended up coming face to face with a nine foot long alligator,

:02:11.:02:13.

He's now well on the way to recovery, and has been talking

:02:14.:02:18.

At first I thought someone was playing with me,

:02:19.:02:23.

I reached down to go grab it and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth.

:02:24.:02:31.

I didn't know what to do, so I immediately reacted

:02:32.:02:36.

Then it was letting go a little, and then finally I had enough strength

:02:37.:02:43.
