:00:00. > :00:00.Good afternoon, you're watching Newsround live on the CBBC Channel.
:00:07. > :00:13.I'm Ricky and here's what's coming up. The extreme watersport that lets
:00:14. > :00:21.you really fly high. And, Dogs Got Talent? This is Newsround.
:00:22. > :00:25.We're starting in the Philippines where right now it's being battered
:00:26. > :00:28.by what could be one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded.
:00:29. > :00:35.Winds of more than 200mph have been hitting parts of the south east
:00:36. > :00:38.Asian country. Because the storm is still raging, it's difficult for
:00:39. > :00:41.people out there to work out the extent of the damage, but
:00:42. > :00:42.authorities fear up to 12 million people could be affected. Here's
:00:43. > :00:53.Leah. The size, power and force of Typhoon
:00:54. > :00:55.Haiyan could be greater than anything we've seen before. Based on
:00:56. > :01:01.satellite pictures, scientists think it could be the most powerful
:01:02. > :01:03.recorded storm to ever hit land But because the areas worst affected
:01:04. > :01:04.recorded storm to ever hit land But so hard to reach,
:01:05. > :01:06.recorded storm to ever hit land But rescue teams know little yet about
:01:07. > :01:08.recorded storm to ever hit land But the damage Haiyan has done. But what
:01:09. > :01:11.recorded storm to ever hit land But we do know is this.
:01:12. > :01:14.recorded storm to ever hit land But affected areas have been battered by
:01:15. > :01:18.heavy rain and winds that reached over 200mph. That's incredibly
:01:19. > :01:25.strong. Hurricane Katrina, which killed nearly 2,000 in America in
:01:26. > :01:29.2005, recorded winds of 170mph. The storm that hit the UK last month,
:01:30. > :01:34.and got all of us so worried, only saw winds of 70mph. If winds in the
:01:35. > :01:40.Philippines are that strong, that's enough to move cars and blow down
:01:41. > :01:43.buildings. The impact of Haiyan could be devastating. Typhoons and
:01:44. > :01:47.hurricanes are pretty much the same thing, powerful storms. It's where
:01:48. > :01:50.they are in the world that leads to what they're called. In this part of
:01:51. > :01:54.the world, it's a yyphoon. This typhoon has forced up to a million
:01:55. > :01:58.people to leave their homes and find shelter. Leah joins us now in the
:01:59. > :02:01.studio because earlier this year you travelled to the Philippines with
:02:02. > :02:06.the CBBC Fierce Earth team, finding out how people there cope with
:02:07. > :02:12.typhoons? Typhoons aren't uncommon in this part of the world, in fact
:02:13. > :02:26.they happen a lot. Already this year there's been 25. We realised on our
:02:27. > :02:36.trip that people have learnt how to cope and adapt. The last big Typhoon
:02:37. > :02:39.to hit the capital Manila was Typhoon Ketsana in 2009. The city
:02:40. > :02:50.was waist deep in water. Imagine, it's like London being completely
:02:51. > :02:55.flooded. They have set up speakers to alert people so they can head to
:02:56. > :03:01.high ground and escape. The remote and poor areas get the battering
:03:02. > :03:02.from the storms? Indeed. In the Batanas Islands you see how
:03:03. > :03:06.vulnerable people are. They Batanas Islands you see how
:03:07. > :03:10.low-lying, they are at sea level. Very at
:03:11. > :03:13.low-lying, they are at sea level. is they need to adapt. They
:03:14. > :03:16.low-lying, they are at sea level. built these really steady, strong
:03:17. > :03:20.stone house that is have been there for hundreds of years. They can head
:03:21. > :03:26.inside. Those houses can withstand very powerful storms. East of
:03:27. > :03:33.Manila, 35 miles away, children take part in rescue exercise classes they
:03:34. > :03:44.know what to do when a typhoon hits. Typhoons are always going to be
:03:45. > :03:47.there. You'll be able to see loads more on this in Fierce Earth
:03:48. > :03:50.starting in the new year on CBBC. Next, to this brilliant
:03:51. > :03:53.award-winning animation that whizzes you through the streets of Tudor
:03:54. > :03:56.London. The 3D fly-through around Pudding Lane, where the Great Fire
:03:57. > :04:00.of London started in 1666, has won a top prize at one of Europe's biggest
:04:01. > :04:03.video game festivals. Students from Leicester used detailed maps of the
:04:04. > :04:07.capital from the earlier Tudor times to recreate how the streets would
:04:08. > :04:10.have looked. Now, if you like your extreme sports really extreme just
:04:11. > :04:13.whack on some jet boots and fly across the water! This is Andy
:04:14. > :04:15.Hickey, the first person from Britain to reach the finals of the
:04:16. > :04:19.World Flyboarding Championships He's competing later in the waters
:04:20. > :04:22.off Qatar in the Middle East. He is powered by a hose and special boots
:04:23. > :04:25.and his routine includes this incredible back-flip! From
:04:26. > :04:29.flyboarding, to some pretty fly dogs now putting their best paw forward
:04:30. > :04:32.at the Battersea Dog and Cats Home fundraising gala last night. The
:04:33. > :04:36.pooches pulled out some fantastic moves at the party to make money for
:04:37. > :04:39.the charity that cares for and rehomes abandoned pets. There were
:04:40. > :04:45.some furry good routines - but nothing to rival Strictly just yet.
:04:46. > :04:59.Hope they got a well earned biscuit or two after those top tricks. Head
:05:00. > :05:01.over to our website to see this edible Jack
