Hello, Newsrounders! I'm Martin live on CBBC this Saturday

afternoon. We've got loads on the way for you.

And, we'll tell you what one of Team GB's most daredevil stars is turning

her hand to next. This is Newsround.

First, rescue workers are struggling to reach the remote areas of the

Philippines worst affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The storm that hit

the south east Asian country yesterday is thought to be one of

the most powerful ever recorded So far, we know that more than 120

people have died, but one aid agency is reporting the number could be way

higher than that. This was one of the most intense

typhoons to ever hit land. It tore across the Philippines, a group of

islands in the Pacific Ocean, causing devastating damage. The

storm did not affect the capital Manila, but smashed its way through

islands in the south east of the country. The storm triggered

landslides and floods, powerful winds flattened houses and cut off

electricity supplies and phone lines. Local airports and roads have

been damaged, so only military flights can bring supplies to the

more remote areas. We have seen the aid operation begin to get what

under way. Two large cargo planes taking aid to one of the worst

affected areas, and in particular to the coastal town of Tacloban where

whole streets have been wiped out and buildings flattened. Thousands

of people had left their homes to seek shelter before the storm, but

not everyone did. Despite huge evacuation efforts, a number of

people have been killed. Although the storm has moved on, people are

now left to take in the destruction and start the massive clean-up

operation. On Sibbu island, this villager says she didn't think the

winds would be strong enough to destroy her house, but the roof has

been ripped off and she says she doesn't know what to do. Some of the

areas affected were already struggling after an earthquake last

month which left hundreds dead and thousands living in temporary

accommodation. Thousands more have now lost their homes. Typhoon Haiyan

is now making its way across the South China Sea, heading towards

Vietnam, and is expected to hit the country tomorrow.

You can see loads more on the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in the

Philippines on the Newsround website.

Next, some big news which could affect how you watch football on TV.

BT Sport has won exclusive rights to show live Champions League and

Europa League football. It's paying about ?900 million over three years.

It means that from 2015 games will no longer be shown live on ITV or

Sky Sports. From football to the Rugby World

Cup. It's a massive day for Rugby League fans because this afternoon

there are two big matches. England take on Fiji. It should be an

exciting game because a win for England will see them through to the

quarter finals. The Republic of Ireland haven't had the best of

starts to their campaign, and it's not set to be an easy game for them

today. They take on Australia to keep their qualifying hopes alive.

Scotland play Tsonga tomorrow. From racing down an ice slope on

something like a tea tray, to raging through the forest in a rally car,

Amy Williams is what you might call an adrenaline junkie. In 2010 she

was Team GB's only medallist at the Winter Olympic Games, but now she's

turning her attention to success behind the wheel. Leah's been to

meet her. Rally car diving is when there is to

view in the car. You have got the driver and navigator, and you go

through different stages of a course. He might have a road

section, and then you go into a forest. It is all about getting

through those sections as fast as possible. How did you make the jump

into rally car racing? At the Olympics I got to 92 mph. Through

all that speed, the quick decision-making, I have been lucky

that I could transfer that into rally in. When I am in the car, the

speed doesn't worry me, the quick decision-making, the

forward-thinking. I've got a feeling you are an adrenaline junkie. I am,

I guess. I did skeleton for ten years, and that gave me a definite

thrill. It became normal to be going 80 mph. I have something within me,

I guess, that is always searching for challenges. Looking ahead to

Sochi, in terms of Team GB, what are your thoughts? We have got a lot of

potential athletes. We have got James would who is world ranked

number one. I think if everything goes well and everyone has their

dream day, we could bring home up to five different metals. I would be a

real achievement. Next, have you noticed the date

It's ninth November 2013. That's pretty special because it's the last

time this century that the date will be made up of three consecutive odd

numbers in a row. Nine - 11 - 1 . A sequence like that won't be repeated

until the first March 2105, when the date will be one - three - five

That's all we've got time for on Newsround today. Check out the
