:00:00. > :00:00.Good morning, I'm Leah, with Newsround on Saturday first
:00:07. > :00:10.February. Keep watching for our look ahead to
:00:11. > :00:17.one of the most thrilling sporting events of the year.
:00:18. > :00:21.Before that, the areas of the UK that have been soaked by January's
:00:22. > :00:24.heavy rain are in for another major soaking today. More rain, more high
:00:25. > :00:28.tides and more strong winds are on their way. And there are more than
:00:29. > :00:31.170 flood warnings now in place across England and Wales. Nine of
:00:32. > :00:35.them are severe, which means a serious risk to people's safety. The
:00:36. > :00:38.worst affected places are in the south-west of England. Tides are
:00:39. > :00:47.also expected to get really high on parts of the Welsh coast.
:00:48. > :00:51.We have got sandbags out on the front of hotels. We have police,
:00:52. > :00:54.coastguard and members of the Council along the seafront, keeping
:00:55. > :00:57.an eye on what is happening. But there is not much that can be done
:00:58. > :00:59.at the moment. People are particularly wary.
:01:00. > :01:02.Next, today marks the start of the Rugby Union Six Nations tournament.
:01:03. > :01:06.Kicking off proceedings are Italy and Wales with the rest to follow
:01:07. > :01:09.across the weekend. But, which nation will be lifting the famous
:01:10. > :01:11.trophy this year? Who better to ask than England and Sale Sharks star
:01:12. > :01:30.Mark Cueto? England have got a great chance of
:01:31. > :01:36.winning. They have been the runner up in the previous 26 Nations. They
:01:37. > :01:42.have got a tough start. Next week they have got Scotland away. Their
:01:43. > :01:46.fly-half has one of the best goal kicking in Europe, it will be
:01:47. > :01:52.exciting to see how they get on. Wales are a team that always get
:01:53. > :01:57.going for the six Nations. Their starting team this weekend has 11
:01:58. > :02:04.British Lions from last summer. They have got a massively strong team.
:02:05. > :02:10.They are the guys to keep an eye out for. The star man, Brian O'Driscoll,
:02:11. > :02:14.the most capped ever player for Ireland is their callous man. They
:02:15. > :02:20.will be looking to go out with a bang. They are always competitive,
:02:21. > :02:28.but generally they are down the bottom part of the table. But if
:02:29. > :02:34.England lose at the weekend, then the second week will be Scotland up
:02:35. > :02:38.at Murrayfield and the Scottish will be really targeting that game. For
:02:39. > :02:40.me, it'll be either England or France who win the six Nations.
:02:41. > :02:45.Check out some stunning pictures of Chinese New Year celebrations on the
:02:46. > :02:50.Newsround website. And, feeling brainy?
:02:51. > :02:53.Then try our brand new quiz! That's all for now.
:02:54. > :02:55.I'll be back just before midday with your next Newsround update. Have a
:02:56. > :03:01.great morning. Bye!
