Hello everyone, I'm Hayley. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
Welcome to Newsround on Tuesday afternoon. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
After 12 years with no major hurricane, America may end up having | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
two in just a few weeks. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Last month, Harvey hit Texas. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Now Hurricane Irma is expected to arrive in Florida by the weekend. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Look at this, a research plane flying directly through the storm. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
Phil Avery is our weather reporter and he's told us it's now | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
a category five storm, the strongest there is. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Over the past few days, I have kept a very close eye | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
on Hurricane Irma as it's gradually worked its way through the Atlantic. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
Whilst it's been at sea, no big problems. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
But now it's much closer to all of these Islands and the eastern | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
end of the Caribbean. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
The next couple of days I think it's going to move further to the west. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
By Wednesday, it will be very close to Puerto Rico. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Then on Thursday, it will come very close to the north of both Haiti | 0:01:06 | 0:01:14 | |
and also the Dominican Republic. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Whilst it's close by, the hurricane will give winds of 150mph. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
There will be torrential rain so a lot of flooding. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Some people will lose power and their phones, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
some may even lose their homes. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
Scientists think they've figured out why a big group of whales got | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
stranded on Britain's coast last year and it's all to do with space. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Ricky's got this one. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
They might look amazing but these solar storms caused a lot of trouble | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
for a group of whales. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Last year, 29 young whales were stranded on the coasts | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
of northern Europe and nobody could work out why. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:58 | |
But now scientists think it could have been down to large | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
solar storms caused by the sun which are known | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
as the Northern Lights. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
These storms in space could have affected the way the sperm whales | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
navigate through the ocean. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
That's why they got lost in shallow waters and beached themselves. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
Beaching is when whales get struck on sand and can be very dangerous. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
It can happen for lots of different reasons. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
For these sperm whales it was down to the solar storms. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
But some whales become stranded because they're sick or injured | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
and are pushed inshore by currents. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
It's thought changes in the environment could cause them | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
to behave differently too, if food stocks are low, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
if temperatures are particularly high or low or if their environment | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
has become polluted. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
Sometimes it's just down to mistakes. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
They can sometimes lose their way into shallow waters by accident | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
whilst travelling to warmer waters to mate. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Whales are very sociable creatures and often travel | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
in large pods or groups. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
Marine scientists think that if one is affected by any of these things | 0:03:00 | 0:03:07 | |
then others travelling with it will copy them, which | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
could be what happened to the sperm whales last year. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Some of you went back to school today, some are back tomorrow. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Others started last month. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Starting high school is one of the most exciting and most | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
nerve-wracking times in our life so what's that actually like? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
Here's what our year sevens told our new starters. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
I think the school was a lot bigger than it actually is. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Yeah. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
It's different, it's not the same as primary school | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
and then moving school, it's just nervous. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
I found out I was going to a different high school | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
than all any other friends, no one from my primary | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
was coming to my high school so I was a bit nervous. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
In primary school, you're in the same sweaty classroom all day. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
As well, you never had food tech in primary school | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
and I absolutely adore cooking food. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
I know how to make cakes and all that. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
It's like moving house because you're like you don't know | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
and you have to make new friends, you have to leave old friends | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
and sometimes you can still stay in contact but it's just a bit hard. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
I was scared I wouldn't make friends and once I made friends | 0:04:07 | 0:04:13 | |
I was like going later. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
It's like huge and you think I am going to get lost, | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I don't know where I am going to go. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Now I could probably find my way around with my eyes closed. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Although I have made some more friends I really miss my other ones | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
that didn't come with me. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
I don't know, just miss them. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
My brother and my two cousins were there. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
I knew that they would look after me. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
I knew some people but in primary we were really close. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
I was worried I wouldn't make friends but actually | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
everyone's the same as you. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
They all know what you're thinking, so you're not on your own. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:56 | |
That's | 0:04:59 | 0:04:59 | |
That's some | 0:04:59 | 0:04:59 | |
That's some amazing | 0:04:59 | 0:04:59 | |
That's some amazing advice:. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Thanks for watching. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Newsround's back in the morning with me. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
Woody? What? All the kids are going back to school soon. Good. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 |
