Simon Cowell's return to the Uk's X Factor. And the deer braving the | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
floodwaters. This is Newsround. First, the bad weather is still a | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
massive problem for parts of the UK. Gales are continuing to batter | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
southern areas with winds of 80mph along the coasts of Cornwall, the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Bristol Channel, and West Wales, and more rain is on the way. It's been a | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
miserable time for people living in affected areas. More than 5,000 | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
homes have been flooded since the bad weather started in December. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Coastguards in Devon said they were expecting "phenomenal" waves to hit | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
offshore. Huge waves have already damaged railway tracks and homes. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
And people have been injured as their properties got battered. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
Iowa's lifestyle. A huge wave hit the door and took the door of their | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
injuries. -- I was with my son. Next to the X Factor and Simon | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Cowell has confirmed he's coming back to Britain to be a judge this | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
year. He left the UK show in 2010 but has just announced his return. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
He is one of the most feared judges and TV yesterday. Knowing -- known | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
to be pretty mean to a dish -- those auditioning. In 2010 Simon Cowell | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
(rating suffered. Simon Cowell owns the X Factor. The last time he was | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
on the shore, three years ago, got the highest ever ratings. That was | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
the year one direction were discovered. Last year viewers were | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
below 10 million. They need to recover that. Meetings in X Factor | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
America have fallen. We do not know who will set aside. No Sharon | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
Osbourne. It will be a younger fuel amongst the judges. Will Simon's X | :02:21. | :02:26. | |

Powell is on the X factor, people will hear about war. -- Simon | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Cowell. When he is nasty, it gets good readings. When he went away, | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the valve. -- these cell. Online you've been telling us what | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
you think about Cowell's comeback. Emily from London thinks it's funny | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
when Simon tells contestants the truth if they're bad, but says, "I | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
do feel sorry for them." And Poppy from Southampton says: "I think it | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
will be good but I liked Gary Barlow, too. They both say exactly | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
what they think." But Chaira from Staffordshire is not so sure, | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
saying, "Oh no! He is back!" If you want to have your say on this, head | :03:09. | :03:11. | |

It was a disappointing start to the Winter Olympics for Team GB's | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
snowboarders Jamie Nicholls and Billy Morgan, who both missed out on | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
medals, in the first ever Snowboard Slopestyle final. Nicholls, from | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Yorkshire, had been in second place after his first run, but he slipped | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
down the field after a disappointing second run where he clipped a | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
railing. He ended up in sixth place. Morgan fell on both of his runs to | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
finish 10th. The gold medal went to USA's Sage Kotsenburg. You can catch | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
the Olympic action over on BBC Two. Now, if you were glued to Channel | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
4's winter sport show, The Jump, you'll have seen pop star Joe | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
McElderry crowned champion. During the show, celebrities took to the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
slopes in a variety of winter sports - but how did it compare to the real | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
thing? Well we caught up with king of the slopes, Joe, who told us he | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
has a lot of respect for professional athletes. I realise | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
now... Any Olympian or person, I realised what the training they have | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
to go through and the dedication and the skill. After learning what we | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
had to learn in a short space of time, that is not even 10% of what | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
they have to learn. I take my hat off to admiration. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Now if you're not a fan of flying, this new research may make things a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
little easier for you. A lab in Germany is testing virtual reality | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
goggles to help people cope with turbulence. This robotic pod | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
simulates a plane shaking about. The virtual reality specs show images of | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
a flying carpet, which researchers say takes your mind off the plane's | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
wobbling. It's the second weekend of the Six | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Nations, where Ireland will host defending champions Wales at 2.30pm | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
today. Both teams won their opening matches. At 5pm, Scotland take on | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
England at Murrayfield - those sides both lost last weekend. And sticking | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
with rugby - take a little look at an alternative version of the sport. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
This is underwater rugby.The sport started in Germany about 50 years | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
ago, and it's growing in popularity - now 19 nations take part in the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
World Cup. It's even taken off in the UK, with the first club having | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
just opened in London. Without the crunching tackles and injuries this | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
rugby looks a bit kinder. It is completely out of your comfort zone. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
You have to have eyes on the back of your head. In the water you are | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
suspended so you are less likely to do any damage or aggravate any old | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
injuries. It is like nothing else. And we've just time to show you | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
these great pictures of swimming deer. They were filmed by workers at | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the Slimbridge Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire who say it's the | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
first time they've ever seen anything like it. Here they are | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
crossing the severn flood plain - an area that has suffered from the bad | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
weather. -- the Severn flood plain. They look like | :06:01. | :06:01. |
