Ayshah here with your last Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:13.

First - in the past few minutes Scotland's parliament has voted to

:00:14.:00:16.

allow same sex couples to marry. The final vote passed by 105 votes to

:00:17.:00:19.

18, but religious groups will be able to opt out of marrying gay

:00:20.:00:23.

couples if they don't agree with it. Same sex marriage became legal in

:00:24.:00:27.

England and Wales in July last year, with the first marriages able to

:00:28.:00:30.

take place from next month. But in Northern Ireland there are no plans

:00:31.:00:42.

to allow it. Next, the future king had to travel by boat and tractor

:00:43.:00:46.

today, to visit people in the flood-hit Somerset Levels, where 25

:00:47.:00:49.

square miles of the county is under water. Prince Charles spent the day

:00:50.:00:52.

speaking to families, farmers and emergency workers to see the damage

:00:53.:00:55.

caused by the floods, which have gone on for over a month. The

:00:56.:00:59.

Prince's Countryside fund will give ?50,000 from its emergency fund to

:01:00.:01:02.

help people in the area. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe they're

:01:03.:01:04.

enduring terrible weather too, but with added ice... Slovenia is having

:01:05.:01:08.

some of the worst winter blizzards for decades. A quarter of houses

:01:09.:01:11.

have been left without electricity, transport has been disrupted and

:01:12.:01:14.

more than a third of the country's schools are closed. Nearby countries

:01:15.:01:17.

of Croatia, Syria, and Germany have also been severely affected by snow.

:01:18.:01:26.

Next to my worst nightmare. Imagine rats the size of sheep! Well that's

:01:27.:01:30.

what scientists reckon we could see in the future. But why you ask?

:01:31.:01:41.

Large level on earth have either been extinct or are like the

:01:42.:01:48.

elephant. If they go extinct, then there will be a hole to fill. Rats

:01:49.:01:54.

can develop to large sizes. They will clearly evolve into new

:01:55.:02:04.

creatures in millions of years. Next, to a British man who may have

:02:05.:02:08.

broken the record for the biggest wave ever surfed... This huge wave

:02:09.:02:12.

is being surfed by Andrew Cotton on Sunday, at a legendary surf spot off

:02:13.:02:15.

Nazaray in Portugal. It could be the highest that's ever been ridden. At

:02:16.:02:19.

80 feet the wave was as tall as four giraffes, eight TARDISes or 15

:02:20.:02:22.

Newsround Nels. We won't know if he's definitely broken the record

:02:23.:02:26.

until May. When Nel's not being used as a unit

:02:27.:02:30.

of measurement, she's off making brilliant reports for us. Here's a

:02:31.:02:33.

sneak preview of tomorrow morning's report, and the mysterious case of

:02:34.:02:39.

the Mexican castaway. This man says he has spent more than

:02:40.:02:44.

a year floating adrift in the middle of the ocean. He claims to have been

:02:45.:02:49.

lost at sea for 13 months when a fishing trip went horribly wrong. He

:02:50.:02:55.

is said to have eaten fish, birds and turtles that he caught with his

:02:56.:02:59.

bare hands. Do not miss tomorrow

:03:00.:03:00.
