Good afternoon, you're watching Newsround live on the CBBC Channel.

I'm Ricky and here's what's coming up. The extreme watersport that lets

you really fly high. And, Dogs Got Talent? This is Newsround.

We're starting in the Philippines where right now it's being battered

by what could be one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded.

Winds of more than 200mph have been hitting parts of the south east

Asian country. Because the storm is still raging, it's difficult for

people out there to work out the extent of the damage, but

authorities fear up to 12 million people could be affected. Here's

Leah. The size, power and force of Typhoon

Haiyan could be greater than anything we've seen before. Based on

satellite pictures, scientists think it could be the most powerful

recorded storm to ever hit land But because the areas worst affected

recorded storm to ever hit land But so hard to reach,

recorded storm to ever hit land But rescue teams know little yet about

recorded storm to ever hit land But the damage Haiyan has done. But what

recorded storm to ever hit land But we do know is this.

recorded storm to ever hit land But affected areas have been battered by

heavy rain and winds that reached over 200mph. That's incredibly

strong. Hurricane Katrina, which killed nearly 2,000 in America in

2005, recorded winds of 170mph. The storm that hit the UK last month,

and got all of us so worried, only saw winds of 70mph. If winds in the

Philippines are that strong, that's enough to move cars and blow down

buildings. The impact of Haiyan could be devastating. Typhoons and

hurricanes are pretty much the same thing, powerful storms. It's where

they are in the world that leads to what they're called. In this part of

the world, it's a yyphoon. This typhoon has forced up to a million

people to leave their homes and find shelter. Leah joins us now in the

studio because earlier this year you travelled to the Philippines with

the CBBC Fierce Earth team, finding out how people there cope with

typhoons? Typhoons aren't uncommon in this part of the world, in fact

they happen a lot. Already this year there's been 25. We realised on our

trip that people have learnt how to cope and adapt. The last big Typhoon

to hit the capital Manila was Typhoon Ketsana in 2009. The city

was waist deep in water. Imagine, it's like London being completely

flooded. They have set up speakers to alert people so they can head to

high ground and escape. The remote and poor areas get the battering

from the storms? Indeed. In the Batanas Islands you see how

vulnerable people are. They Batanas Islands you see how

low-lying, they are at sea level. Very at

low-lying, they are at sea level. is they need to adapt. They

low-lying, they are at sea level. built these really steady, strong

stone house that is have been there for hundreds of years. They can head

inside. Those houses can withstand very powerful storms. East of

Manila, 35 miles away, children take part in rescue exercise classes they

know what to do when a typhoon hits. Typhoons are always going to be

there. You'll be able to see loads more on this in Fierce Earth

starting in the new year on CBBC. Next, to this brilliant

award-winning animation that whizzes you through the streets of Tudor

London. The 3D fly-through around Pudding Lane, where the Great Fire

of London started in 1666, has won a top prize at one of Europe's biggest

video game festivals. Students from Leicester used detailed maps of the

capital from the earlier Tudor times to recreate how the streets would

have looked. Now, if you like your extreme sports really extreme just

whack on some jet boots and fly across the water! This is Andy

Hickey, the first person from Britain to reach the finals of the

World Flyboarding Championships He's competing later in the waters

off Qatar in the Middle East. He is powered by a hose and special boots

and his routine includes this incredible back-flip! From

flyboarding, to some pretty fly dogs now putting their best paw forward

at the Battersea Dog and Cats Home fundraising gala last night. The

pooches pulled out some fantastic moves at the party to make money for

the charity that cares for and rehomes abandoned pets. There were

some furry good routines - but nothing to rival Strictly just yet.

Hope they got a well earned biscuit or two after those top tricks. Head
