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