Good morning. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
I'm Ricky with Newsround this Friday. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Coming up this hour... | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Hurricane Matthew moves closer to Florida | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
after causing devastation in Haiti. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Exploring the bottom of the oceans. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
And... | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
First up... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Hurricane Matthew has been upgraded to an even more | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
powerful Category 4 storm. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
The storm has now passed the Caribbean islands of The Bahamas. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
And it's due to hit the Florida in the United States today. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
Around two million people who live near the coast in Florida have been | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
told to move away from the sea to keep them safe. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
One of the first countries to be hit by hurricane Matthew was Haiti. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
And, so far, over 300 people are known to have died, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
with many thousands more unable to return to their homes, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
after the storm wrecked homes and caused massive flooding. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Charities and aid workers in the region are working hard | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
to provide essentials like food, shelter and clean water for people. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
We have seen a lot of houses being damaged and destroyed. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Right now, our biggest concern is some of the overcrowded shelters, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
where tens of thousands of people are residing | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
in less than 300 shelters. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
At this moment, our biggest concern is the sanitation, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
water and hygiene conditions of the people living there. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
We are trying to provide emergency supplies, so that the families | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
and children there can have access to clean water. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
And to supplies that will help them, like blankets, bed sheets, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
jerry cans and hygiene kits. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Moving forward, we are concerned about the situation for children, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
because the hurricane has brought a lot of devastation. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
We are seeing schools being damaged, roads are blocked. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
A lot of debris on the roads. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
There is concerned that cholera, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
or other water-borne or mosquito-borne diseases, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
might break out. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
In football... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Both Wales and Ireland were in action last night, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
as they aim to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
It was a pretty tough match for Wales, who faced Austria in Vienna. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
It was a pretty tough match for Wales, who faced Austria in Vienna. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
Final score there was 2-2. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland beat Georgia 1-0 in Dublin. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Captain Seamus Coleman scored | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
his first international goal for his country. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
Now, to something that really surprised me this morning. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Did you know that we're actually more familiar with the surface | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
of Venus than the deepest parts of our oceans? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
Well, there's one group in Australia trying to change that. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
The deep blue sea. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Vast, dark and full of life. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Some more alien than others. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
While there aren't actually any any aliens down there, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
some of the creatures are a bit, well, odd. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
Although the ocean covers around 70% of our planet, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
95% of the ocean floor is still unexplored. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
We've got a better idea of what's out there in outer space! | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
This is something the Ocean Exploration Trust wants to change. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
The organisation was set up in 2008 to map unexplored | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
territory underwater, discovering new species and | 0:03:08 | 0:03:14 | |
unravelling the secrets of the deep. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Aside from being home to more than half of all life on Earth, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
it's estimated around three million shipwrecks are down there. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Just think of all that buried treasure... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
So, what else do we know? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Well, the ocean is actually split up into three zones. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
The first is the Sunlight Zone. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
That's where a lot of the most well-known fish live. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
And it's about as far down as most humans can go. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
At 200 metres, you reach the Twilight Zone, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
where light starts to disappear. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
At more than 1,000 metres down, sunlight disappears completely. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
This is the Midnight Zone. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
It's a cold, dark place that we still don't know much about. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
But it's still not even close to the bottom | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
in most places on Earth. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
The lowest point is 11,000 metres down. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
That's about the same depth as stacking 36 Eiffel Towers | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
on top of each other. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
That place is called Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
To get a glimpse of this weird undersea world, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
the Ocean Exploration Trust has to use special deep sea vessels, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
strong enough to deal with the HUGE pressure | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
that comes from having so much water on top of you. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
And, with these special subs, the team has discovered | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
some amazing things. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
Everything from shipwrecks to weird and wonderful sea life. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
The organisation hopes their work | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
will inspire a new generation of researchers. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Maybe someone just like you to help unravel some of | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
the mysteries still hiding right here on Planet Earth. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:55 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
I'll be back in half an hour. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 |
