31/01/2014 Newsround

Good morning, Ayshah here, with some great stuff coming your way.

Including the amazing rescue of the parachuter who passed out in

mid-air. Plus, the wild cat that found

himself locked in someone's kitchen. This is Newsround.

Let's start, though, with warnings about more extreme weather expected

to hit the UK over the next day and a half. Heavy rain is forecast

across southern England, with further flood warnings and huge

tides, called coastal surges, expected to hit towns and villages

by the sea. Strong winds and high tides are expected to cause damage

on the west coast of England and Wales. Somerset is one of the places

expected to be worst hit. We've been there this morning to see how

they're preparing. They are doing everything they can,

this is one of their solutions, bags lined up all along this river, with

sand and a bit of plastic over the top, to give the river bank a few

extra feet to contain the water that might be on the way. This is an

illustration of where all of the water ends up, there should be a big

archway in the middle, but it is so swollen, it is not visible. At high

tide, this begins to back up, and the fear is it will begin to spill

over. We had military boots on the ground, planners assessing what they

can do to help out. They decided they could not do anything to what

the fire service was already doing. But they say they are on stand-by if

the weather gets much worse. In this quiet village, we have just had this

convoy turn-up, they tell me they are carrying 300 tonnes of sand to

help fill more of those bikes, to help keep back the water.

Next, the first round of talks aimed at bringing peace to Syria end today

in Geneva. The Syrian government and opposition are still deeply divided

over key issues such as ending the violence, replacing the country's

president and allowing humanitarian aid into some areas. Further talks

are expected between the two sides next month.

Moving on, and today is one of the most exciting days in the sporting

calendar, transfer deadline day. Footy clubs have about 16 hours left

to try and secure the signings they need for the rest of the season.

Here's our guide through what's likely to happen.

Big news with Manchester City, but why is today so important? Football

fans get either excited about it, or they dread it, your club could bring

in a star signing, or you could lose your biggest player. Clubs across

Europe have until 11pm to get their business done before the window

closes until the summer. Why do they leave it until the last minute? Why

is it so stressful? They have the whole month of January, but when you

have an exam and you have weeks to revise, we leave it until the last

minute to do all of our cramming. Football club are the same. They

have just got today to do their business, and most of the business

will be done today, leaving it right up to the wire. What has happened

with Manchester City? They have made a ?40 million bid for two players

from Porto. You would not think they need any more players, they have

scored 110 goals already this season, they are top of the league,

but Manuel Pellegrini wants to reinforce them just that bit more.

We will see other deals again today. What kind of players are other clubs

trying to bet? Juan Mata has gone from Chelsea to Manchester United.

Some of the other deals, one striker could join Arsenal, the Ukrainian

winger could be on his way to Liverpool, Dimitar Berbatov could

move to Spurs. It is going to be very exciting, and you can keep

up-to-date on the BBC Sport website and on your mobile and tablet.

Now, if you think transfer deadline day is dramatic, I'm afraid it's

nothing compared to this. This is the moment a British skydiver was

knocked unconscious seconds after jumping out a plane at more than

12,000 feet. James Lee passed out after colliding with another diver.

Luckily, he was rescued by quick-thinking friends, who noticed

and activated his parachute. He came around just as the parachute opened,

and landed safely. And finally, imagine coming

downstairs for breakfast and finding a puma in your kitchen! That's

exactly what happened to a family in Chile. This two-year-old big cat

managed to lock himself in their house and caused a bit of a mess, as

you can see. Police think the animal may have been kept as a pet nearby,

and had either been released or escaped.

Goodbye.
