:00:00. > :00:14.Hi, I'm Ricky with another quick update. Coming up: Cars that talk to
:00:15. > :00:25.each other to avoid crashes could soon be on our roads. Has this
:00:26. > :00:29.decision man conquered the biggest wave ever surfed? This is Newsround.
:00:30. > :00:32.But first, the Prince of Wales will be in Somerset in the south west of
:00:33. > :00:36.England later today, visiting people affected by the floods. He'll meet
:00:37. > :00:38.residents battling to cope with flood damage, farmers and members of
:00:39. > :00:42.the emergency services. The Somerset Levels have seen some of the worst
:00:43. > :00:45.flooding in recent weeks with large areas of land still under water,
:00:46. > :00:48.leaving whole villages cut off. Forecasters are predicting more wind
:00:49. > :00:58.and high waves across the south of England later today.
:00:59. > :01:02.Next, America's plan to introduce cars that talk to each other. The
:01:03. > :01:05.government there want to cut the number of road deaths each year so
:01:06. > :01:08.they're working on technology that lets vehicles warn other if they're
:01:09. > :01:10.in danger of colliding. A radio signal constantly transmits
:01:11. > :01:13.position, direction and speed to other cars. Some systems might even
:01:14. > :01:20.automatically brake to avoid an accident.
:01:21. > :01:23.One of the world's most popular websites is celebrating its 10th
:01:24. > :01:26.birthday today. Facebook was launched in 2004 by a young
:01:27. > :01:30.university student over in America. A decade later and the social media
:01:31. > :01:34.website has more than 1.2 billion active users worldwide. On average
:01:35. > :01:36.750 million people log on each day. Facebook, which is only for
:01:37. > :01:40.13-year-olds and over has also come under fire from critics who say the
:01:41. > :01:48.site stores too much of our private information.
:01:49. > :01:52.Next, do you speak a foreign language? Well if not the chances
:01:53. > :01:55.are you'll be learning one soon. From September all primary schools
:01:56. > :01:59.in England will have to teach foreign languages. But it might not
:02:00. > :02:03.be the traditional French or German you're learning, because if the
:02:04. > :02:06.Prime Minister gets his way, more of you will be being taught the Chinese
:02:07. > :02:16.language, Mandarin. Here's Nel with more.
:02:17. > :02:23.It is the most common language in China and is spoken by nearly 1
:02:24. > :02:28.billion people around the world. Soon, you could be learning
:02:29. > :02:32.Mandarin. Lots of kids only get to learn another language at secondary
:02:33. > :02:37.school, but soon that is about to change. From September all primary
:02:38. > :02:42.schools will have to learn a foreign language. In the past kids have
:02:43. > :02:49.learned Spanish, French and German. But now the Prime Minister thinks
:02:50. > :02:52.Mandarin could be useful to learn. China is the world's most populist
:02:53. > :02:57.country and is one of the most wealthiest. The UK Government thing
:02:58. > :03:03.if more people can speak Mandarin here, then the more business Britain
:03:04. > :03:08.can do with China. At this school in Hampshire, 150 kids are learning
:03:09. > :03:13.Mandarin. A third of their lessons are taught in the language. I love
:03:14. > :03:17.Mandarin because I don't find it easy learning other languages and
:03:18. > :03:23.Mandarin, I like how the characters are put together. It is important
:03:24. > :03:26.because it means I can go to few -- go to China in the future I get a
:03:27. > :03:37.good job. With the UK doing more business with China, more and more
:03:38. > :03:42.of you could be... Chelsea became the first side this
:03:43. > :03:47.season to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Branislav
:03:48. > :03:51.Ivanovic's goal in the first half was enough for a 1-0 win. It's been
:03:52. > :03:54.three years since City went goalless at home. It means Jose Mourinho's
:03:55. > :03:58.side stay third in the table, but level on points with second-placed
:03:59. > :04:01.City. The Chelsea boss says he didn't even have to give the team
:04:02. > :04:12.talk, it was the players' massage man!
:04:13. > :04:18.I did not speak. I am serious. What did he tell them? He was screaming
:04:19. > :04:24.so much in Scottish, I did not understand. I am serious. I did not
:04:25. > :04:28.understand, but the players were all clapping.
:04:29. > :04:32.OK, let's go. A British man thinks he may have
:04:33. > :04:38.woken the record for the biggest wave ever surfed. This is an 80 foot
:04:39. > :04:44.wave being surfed by Andrew Cotton. It is in Portugal. It could be the
:04:45. > :04:50.highest that has ever been ridden. We won't know until May when a surf
:04:51. > :04:55.company officially measure it. Plenty of good stuff on the website.
:04:56. > :05:00.The story of how police in Bristol are on the lookout for what may be
:05:01. > :05:01.an escaped crocodile. We are
