Hi, everyone, welcome to Newsround.

I'm Leah.

First, to the latest on Hurricane Matthew.

People in Florida in the US are being told to prepare

for the storm to hit, as it continues to power

over the Caribbean.

The hurricane pounded the Bahamas earlier today and is now swirling

towards America - and getting stronger.

Thousands of people in the coastal states have already started

to leave for safer areas, and officials in Florida are urging

others to evacuate as well.

If you're watching and you're in an evacuation area, get out.

Don't take a chance.

Time is running out.

This is clearly going to either have a direct hit

or come right along our coast and we're going to have

hurricane-force winds.

Well, in Haiti, we're still finding out just how badly

the country has been affected.

Some areas have been cut off.

It's now thought at least 69 people have died there so far.

Ayshah has the latest.

These aerial shots show the destruction that

Hurricane Matthew has left behind in Haiti.

Rescue teams are trying to reach the south-west

of the country, where some people have lost everything.

Homes have been destroyed by winds of up to 145 miles per hour.

People are having to sleep and eat outside.

Across the country -

it's thought 350,000 people need help.

This shanty dwelling only just managed

to survive the hurricane-force winds but here just a few yards away -

on what looks like wasteland - the homes of four

families were washed away

as the flood waters rushed down the valley.

All this comes just six years after

a massive earthquake hit Haiti, one of the world's poorest nations.

More than 200,000 people died - and the country is still recovering.

TRANSLATION: The children have just started school

and their new uniforms were washed away.

These children were evacuated from coastal areas

before the storm arrived.

They're now living in shelters and it's not clear

when they'll get to go back home.

Moving on and take a look at this stunning new HD footage

of a lava lake at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano.

The area is closed off to the public but scientists have been able to get

close enough for this rare insight.

It's been erupting for eight years but these high quality pictures

reveal the base of the volcano is still incredibly powerful.

For another look at this head to Newsround online.

Something else with a lot of power - this runner who's just done 401

marathons in 401 days!

This is the moment Ben Smith completed his final run in Bristol.

He set himself the mammoth challenge to raise money for anti-bullying

charities, because he was targeted for being gay.

Ricky's been looking into just how far Ben has come.

401 marathons, in 401 days.

That's a lot of running.

Just so you know...

One marathon equals around 26 miles

So Ben Smith has run a total of 10,513 miles!

That's more than the distance between the UK and Australia

Ben's been running to raise money for anti bullying charities.

He says he was picked on when he was younger.

During his mammoth marathon he's visited 309

locations throughout the UK

And popped into 101 schools along the way.

But it has been really tough.

He started on the 1st of September 2015.

After 284 days he had to stop for more than a week

because of an injury.

Since then he's been making up

for lost time and today he completed his challenge!

What a guy!

Now Ben's left many footprints around the country but this one

definitely isn't from him!

It was found in the Gobi desert in Asia

and is more than a metre long.

Scientists reckon it belonged to a Titanosaur and believe it's

around 70 million years old!

And from extinct creatures to one with nine lives...

There was a dramatic rescue for this cheeky kitten that got stuck

on the ledge of a 12th floor apartment in Singapore.

Rescuers came and used a pole to bring the cat

back inside to safety.

Luckily, the cute kitten wasn't hurt and reunited with its owner.

That's all from me, Newsround's back with Ricky tomorrow morning at 7:40.

Bye!
