to climb onto their roofs to escape the rising water levels. Emergency

services have spent the day rescuing residents who were trapped by the

floods in San Antonio. The American President, Barack

Obama, will visit Moore in Oklahoma later six days after it was

devastated by a huge tornado. The President will meet with people who

live in the city where 24 people were killed. He has promised to help

rebuild it. Two years ago the town of Joplin in neighbouring State

Missouri was also hit badly by a tornado and people there have been

offering advice for the survivors in Moore. It will not be better

tomorrow. It won't be better two or three months from now. You will

realise you were better after the tornado than you were before because

it makes you realise that the little things don't matter anymore.

A great community. It is painful initially, but I know they will get

through it. There are worries for lots of the

wildflowers growing alongside our roads. The conservation group,

Plantlife, says verges are being cut too often which also has an effect

on habitats for wildlife. They've asked councils to chop less often.

You maybe used to your Apple Macs looking like this. Check out this

contraption. It might look like a piece of junk, but it is one of the

last re maining maining orange Apple computers. There are thought to be

six left in working order. It sold at auction for �230,000,000.

Thousands of people are in Liverpool this weekend to remember a very old

and very important sea battle that helped the people of Britain and

Europe survive the Second World War. Many of the boats involved were

trying to get to Liverpool to offload supplies. Some sailors from

that time will be there. Here's what it's all about.

It's known as the longest battle of the Second World War. The Battle of

the Atlantic lasted for six years and took place, not on land, but in

the Atlantic Ocean. Boats left the UK to sail to America where they

would collect important supplies like food, fuel and military

equipment to help Europe to survive the war. German forces would attack

the boats, to try and stop vital supplies from reaching the UK.

days across the Atlantic and then seven days 20 come back. The only

reward if you survived the crossing is the fact you would be able to do

it again. The UK was reliant on that as was the rest of Europe. The

campaign couldn't have gone ahead unless we were successful.

Tens of thousands of lives were lost in the battle and around 3,000 ships

were sunk. The anniversary today marks 70 years since the end of one

of the fiercest battles when Germany's submarine fleet suffered

heavy losses in the Atlantic. Conditions were horrendous. Cold

water coming over the ship. The threat of U-boats, the threat of

attack. The threat of sinking. We have a lot to thank the veterans

for. One of Formula One's most famous

races, the Monaco Grand Prix is underway. Taking to the grid for the

first time as an F1 driver was 22-year-old Max Chilton, who this

season joined the likes Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton as another

Brit on the circuit. Before the race, Nel met Max at Team Marussia.

Max, where are you right now? What is this this place? This is the

Marussia factory. They build the cars from scratch. They plan on a

computer and turn it into a thing that does 200mph on a circuit which

I'm lucky enough to drive. I started when I was a kid and gone

through the ranks and I'm only 22 and I am ne in my first year of

Formula One. OK, so this is the steering wheel. This is where I

control this car from. On a. A.normal road car, you have a clutch

and here we have two of them and you are controlled by your fingers and

we have our gear shifters which we tend to do 50 to 70 gear changes a

lap. What tyre you are on, gearbox setting. How many gear shifts we can

do and how quickly. The nearest thing to explain it to is a

rollercoaster. We can experience up to four to five G. That's your body

weight times four or five being applied against you. We can't take

it, we have to steer and look through the corner and use our legs

to accelerate and brake and concentrate at the same time as

being pushed against. It is challenging. Max's next race is in

Monaco andle he will be testing out his new car and he has been giving

me hints and tips all day. So hopefully one day I will be as good

as he is! Come on, Max! Max is in 16th place in Monaco and

if he wants to make his way up the grid he best not take driving tips

from this lot! Car surfing or side-walk skiing is a
