Hi, Happy Saturday to you. I'm Martin, live with Newsround. Stay

:00:00.:00:11.

here for more of this: Why this plane ended up on a beach.

:00:12.:00:15.

And how weather reports have changed just a bit over the last 60 years.

:00:16.:00:24.

First and after a week of extreme weather across parts of the UK there

:00:25.:00:27.

are reports of more flooding on its way. People living in parts of

:00:28.:00:33.

Southern England are being warned by the Environment Agency that swollen

:00:34.:00:36.

rivers means floodwaters could rise even further. There will be a brief

:00:37.:00:40.

rest from the rain in these areas today but 94 flood warnings are in

:00:41.:00:45.

place across England and Wales. Today marks 60 years since the very

:00:46.:00:48.

first BBC TV weather presenter appeared on our screens. Back then

:00:49.:00:53.

they used maps drawn with pencils and even sticky labels. It was a lot

:00:54.:00:59.

more difficult to get it right then and forecasters were often blamed

:01:00.:01:02.

for bad weather. But thanks to technology moving things on, a lot

:01:03.:01:05.

has changed. Here's BBC weatherman Simon King with a rundown of how

:01:06.:01:13.

things work today. Technology has changed massively.

:01:14.:01:16.

We've got computers, satellite information to protect the weather

:01:17.:01:23.

up to five days ahead and also some fancy graphics that we use on the

:01:24.:01:31.

television -- predict the weather. We forecast all across the world and

:01:32.:01:36.

the BBC weather centre now reduces over 100 national broadcasts every

:01:37.:01:44.

day, compared to one everyday back in 1964.

:01:45.:01:48.

We'll have a bit more on that later. Footy now and Wayne Rooney has used

:01:49.:01:52.

social media to urge Manchester United fans to keep backing their

:01:53.:01:55.

team despite the team losing their last three matches. It's been a

:01:56.:01:58.

difficult time for new manager, David Moyes. The last time United

:01:59.:02:01.

lost four games in a row was more than 50 years ago so they're hoping

:02:02.:02:05.

for a win today against Swansea, the same team that knocked them out of

:02:06.:02:09.

the FA Cup a week ago. Now when you're relaxing on holiday

:02:10.:02:12.

on the beach the last thing you expect to see is a plane coming into

:02:13.:02:16.

land. But that's exactly what happened on this beach in Martins

:02:17.:02:19.

Bay in New Zealand. Pilots had to make a emergency landing after a

:02:20.:02:23.

engine problem. They then tried to take off again but got caught in the

:02:24.:02:26.

surf. Luckly nobody was injured. They were just a bit embarrassed.

:02:27.:02:31.

And they had to get a bit of help to get the plane out of the water.

:02:32.:02:35.

Last up, the new series of The Voice starts tonight but how much do you

:02:36.:02:38.

know about new coach Kylie Minogue? Head to the website to try our quiz

:02:39.:02:42.

and test your knowledge. That's all from me. Newsround's back

:02:43.:02:45.

right here at 11:55am. We're hoping to speak to the producer of Wild

:02:46.:02:48.

Brazil, a new wildlife porgramme. He spent loads of time filming the

:02:49.:02:58.

animals and well be asking him just what that's like. See you then.

:02:59.:03:02.
