Good morning - Ricky here live with all of Wednesday's top stories.

0:00:050:00:09

On the way: We find out how Haiti is struggling after

0:00:090:00:11

Hurricane Matthew.

0:00:110:00:13

And Will Young quits Strictly.

0:00:130:00:15

This is Newsround.

0:00:150:00:17

First, let's take a look at last night's international football

0:00:270:00:29

action with a round-up of the World Cup qualifiers.

0:00:290:00:33

England were thankful to the brilliance of goalkeeper

0:00:330:00:35

Joe Hart as they escaped with a 0-0 draw away at Slovenia.

0:00:360:00:41

And there was shock for Scotland as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat

0:00:410:00:44

to Slovakia, leaving them fourth in Group F.

0:00:440:00:48

And rounding off a disappointing night for the home nations,

0:00:480:00:51

Northern Ireland lost 2-0 away to Germany.

0:00:510:00:55

Two first half goals in the space of five minutes was enough to give

0:00:550:00:58

the world champions a comfortable win.

0:00:580:01:00

Will Young dropped a Strictly bombshell last night.

0:01:000:01:03

He announced that he's leaving the show because

0:01:030:01:05

of personal reasons.

0:01:050:01:07

The singer said he left with joy in his heart.

0:01:070:01:10

He also said he loved taking part in the show.

0:01:100:01:12

Well, despite him leaving, show bosses say there will still be

0:01:120:01:15

an elimination this weekend.

0:01:150:01:20

Hurricane Matthew struck the Caribbean island of Haiti last

0:01:200:01:22

week and then swept on to affect the Bahamas and then

0:01:220:01:25

the United States.

0:01:250:01:26

But Haiti was the worst affected because the country is so poor.

0:01:260:01:29

Charities are working hard to get food and aid into the country.

0:01:290:01:31

Leah has been finding out how children there have been affected.

0:01:310:01:33

Much-needed food and aid is being brought into the south of Haiti,

0:01:360:01:40

the part of the island most affected by Hurricane Matthew

0:01:400:01:43

that struck last week.

0:01:430:01:46

Power is still out and people urgently need clean food and water.

0:01:460:01:51

Lots of homes were knocked down by the storm and waves,

0:01:510:01:55

and lots of crops growing in the fields were destroyed, too,

0:01:550:01:57

so food like rice is having to be brought in from elsewhere.

0:01:570:02:02

Charities in the Caribbean country say they're worried about diseases

0:02:020:02:05

spreading in the area.

0:02:050:02:08

Schools are being used to provide temporary shelter to help

0:02:080:02:11

the thousands of people left homeless, which

0:02:110:02:14

includes many children.

0:02:140:02:17

TRANSLATION: The wind, the wind.

0:02:170:02:19

All the coconut trees were destroyed.

0:02:190:02:21

All sorts of trees fell down.

0:02:210:02:24

The wind destroyed everyone's house.

0:02:240:02:27

All my school books got ruined.

0:02:270:02:31

The tin roof flew away.

0:02:310:02:34

Roofs and tree branches flew away.

0:02:340:02:36

Water started coming in, things were flying everywhere.

0:02:360:02:38

Water surrounded us.

0:02:380:02:39

That night, it almost reached us.

0:02:390:02:41

We were able to get out, but left all our things behind.

0:02:410:02:43

We had to get them from the ditch.

0:02:430:02:46

The United Nations says a massive response is needed to help around

0:02:460:02:49

1.4 million people in the country who need urgent help.

0:02:490:02:55

Hurricane Matthew may be gone from Haiti,

0:02:550:02:56

but the damage still remains.

0:02:560:03:01

Now, at Newsround HQ, we've heard from some

0:03:010:03:04

of you who are worried about people dressing as clowns to deliberately

0:03:040:03:07

try and frighten others.

0:03:070:03:09

You've told us there are lots of rumours about clowns

0:03:090:03:11

going around at the moment, so we decided to look at the facts.

0:03:110:03:14

Ricky's been investigating.

0:03:140:03:16

It started in the US and Canada - people dressing up as clowns

0:03:160:03:20

and scaring others.

0:03:200:03:26

Now there have been reports from police of it

0:03:260:03:28

happening here in the UK.

0:03:280:03:30

Harmless fun?

0:03:300:03:31

Not everyone thinks so.

0:03:310:03:33

Over the past few weeks, it has also spread online,

0:03:330:03:35

with lots of people posting videos on social media.

0:03:350:03:40

But now some parents say it's getting out of hand

0:03:400:03:43

and there are loads of rumours flying around, like clowns will come

0:03:430:03:46

to your school if you don't share pictures of them.

0:03:460:03:48

None of those are true.

0:03:480:03:50

In the UK, a number of police forces say they're getting calls

0:03:500:03:54

from people who have been frightened when they've seen

0:03:540:03:55

people dressed as clowns.

0:03:550:03:58

The police say there's nothing funny about it.

0:03:580:04:00

The police have put extra patrols on.

0:04:000:04:04

If anybody sees anything, or anybody's frightened, ring

0:04:040:04:06

straightaway, the police will come.

0:04:060:04:09

They don't mind if it was a joke and not a serious clown.

0:04:090:04:13

We've heard that some of you are a bit worried about this

0:04:130:04:16

so we've been taking a closer look at this story.

0:04:160:04:18

It's important to say that these sightings are incredibly rare

0:04:180:04:21

and no one has been hurt.

0:04:210:04:24

And even if it is just a few people having a bit of fun,

0:04:240:04:27

the police say they are taking incidents very seriously.

0:04:270:04:31

They say anyone who dresses up as a clown to scare someone

0:04:310:04:34

on purpose could get into a lot of trouble.

0:04:340:04:39

If you are worried at all about people dressed as clowns

0:04:390:04:42

then make sure you speak to an adult about it.

0:04:420:04:46

And if you are upset by the news, there's loads of advice over

0:04:460:04:49

at Newsround online.

0:04:490:04:50

That's all from me - Newsround's back right

0:04:500:04:53

here in about half an hour.
