Evening, guys, Ayshah here. First to what could be the wettest winter for

:00:00.:00:12.

250 years. Severe flooding has led to more than 1,000 homes being

:00:13.:00:15.

evacuated in the south-east of England and thousands more are at

:00:16.:00:19.

serious risk. The army has been brought in to help out as record

:00:20.:00:23.

water levels continue to rise in the Thames Valley. With more rain on the

:00:24.:00:26.

way this week, the Prime Minister David Cameron said that "money's no

:00:27.:00:30.

object" in dealing with the floods, but that we're "in it for a long

:00:31.:00:35.

haul". Many of those affected by the floods believe that more should be

:00:36.:00:39.

done to help. Most of the severe flood warnings,

:00:40.:00:42.

meaning there's a danger to life, are in the Thames Valley in the

:00:43.:00:46.

South East of England. One of the worst-hit places is the village of

:00:47.:00:49.

Wraysbury and Nel sent us this report from there earlier today.

:00:50.:00:54.

I am here in a small village in the south-east of England, Wraysbury,

:00:55.:00:59.

that is devastated by flooding. This is a playground behind me, and

:01:00.:01:03.

behind that, some cricket field submerged in water. So far today,

:01:04.:01:08.

the emergency services had been out and about, fire trucks, the army are

:01:09.:01:13.

here, we even saw the RSPCA helping out. Large trucks had been coming

:01:14.:01:17.

through full of sand that are being backed up and put in doorways to try

:01:18.:01:22.

to keep the water out as much as possible. The local community have

:01:23.:01:26.

come together, lots of volunteers out and about in high visibility

:01:27.:01:31.

jackets to help and guide people to places of safety. We would be

:01:32.:01:34.

sticking around for the rest of the day to see how the locals cope with

:01:35.:01:40.

such a devastating situation. We'll have more from Nel tomorrow

:01:41.:01:43.

morning. Now, I can't believe it's been a year already but Britain's

:01:44.:01:47.

Got Talent is back this week. The four judges were in the capital this

:01:48.:01:50.

afternoon so we sent Ricky to find out from Cowell and the gang what's

:01:51.:01:54.

going to be different about the show this year.

:01:55.:01:56.

They have a special, golden buzzer that can send through an act

:01:57.:01:59.

immediately, but they can only press it once.

:02:00.:02:03.

Britain's got talent is the baby of Simon Callow, but some of us have

:02:04.:02:06.

told you this that they have enough of this reality TV formats, so are

:02:07.:02:11.

they doing anything they can to create drama.

:02:12.:02:16.

The golden buzzer, that is the big thing, I thought, this is amazing,

:02:17.:02:20.

it is like the golden ticket, you are through. Never change the

:02:21.:02:29.

willing formula too much. My daughter watches newsround! Hello!

:02:30.:02:36.

The golden buzzer gives you the incentive to get behind an act and

championed them. Have you pressed it yet? Maybe today! Who knows?

:02:42.:02:48.

We'll have more from the judges tomorrow morning, and in the
