:00:00.:00:08.

day. Coming up... We find out what you think about

:00:09.:00:12.

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

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.

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

: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,

saying, "Oh no! He is back!" If you want to have your say on this, head

over to the Newsround website right now.

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
