Hi, I'm Ayshah with your afternoon Newsround - today, we'll bring you

British heartbreak on the slopes of Sochi. I am here, where families are

having to leave their homes because the floodwaters keep rising. First,

to what could be the wettest winter for 250 years. Severe flooding has

led to more than 1,000 homes being evacuated in the south-east of

England and thousands more are at serious risk. The army has been

brought in to help out as record water levels continue to rise in the

Thames Valley. With more rain on the way this week, the Prime Minister

said the floods were a huge challenge and that "we are in it for

a long haul" but many of those affected by the floods believe more

should be done to help. Most of the severe flood warnings, meaning

there's a danger to life, are in the Thames Valley in the south east of

England. One of the worst-hit places is the village of Wraysbury, from

where Nel sent us this report. I am here in a small village in the

south-east of England that has been devastated with the local flooding.

Behind me, this is actually a playground, behind that some fields

which are merged and water. Today the emergency services have been out

and about, fire trucks and the army, I have even seen RSPCA officers

doing what they can to help. Bags of sand have been put in people's

doorways to keep the water out as much as possible. The local

community have come together, lots of volunteers trying to help guide

people to places of safety. I will be sticking about to find out how

the locals cope with such a devastating situation.

Next, to the Winter Olympics in Sochi where there was heartbreak for

Team GB's Katie Summerhayes who made it to the slopestyle skiing final

this morning. The 18-year-old did brilliantly to qualify in third

position but couldn't repeat the performance in the final, taking a

tumble in the first of her two runs meaning she could only finish in

seventh place overall. I was gutted. I skied well in

qualification which made me feel well, but I am gutted with my

result. Everyone has falls, and I made two massive mistakes.

It's Safer Internet Day today and the idea is to make the web a nicer

place to be for you guys. But smartphones and social networks are

changing how young people are being bullied. The children's charity

NSPCC says over a third of kids have been bullied online, and it can be a

really upsetting thing to deal with. This afternoon Newsround has a

special programme looking at the problem. I got a notification on my

phone, I wasn't sure if it was a sick joke. Everybody has a

smartphone and it is always there, you cannot get away with it. Don't

retaliate because they want to see how they got to you. With me here on

the sofa is anti-bullying campaigner Alex Holmes. So online bullying can

be really tough - how do you go about dealing with it? Don't suffer

in silence. Reported, things will get better. A BBC poll has shown

that one in five kids have been upset by something they've seen

online, twice the number that parents thought. How can you speak

to your parents about this if they don't know as much about the

internet as you? I had to teach my mum and my grandma. You have got to

become an expert yourself, then teach your parents so they can

become an expert and it will be fun. Why do bullies do it? Good

question, I was bullied myself and I don't know why. There is no excuse

for bullying and it shouldn't happen. If you're having this

problem, who should you speak to? Remember, you are not alone. There

are lots of people you can speak to, it could be your month, the dinner

lady, ora website full of resources and advice. Just look around and

speak out, there will be people who can listen and help. Head to our

website for loads more information on how to stay safe online, with

advice and a quiz too. And you can catch Cyberbullying, a Newsround

special, this afternoon at 5.25pm right here on CBBC. It will also be

on iPlayer too. That's all we've got time for, but Newsround's back this

evening at 6.50pm where we're hoping to hear from the Britain's Got

Talent judges! See you.
