:00:00. > :00:11.Hi, Happy Saturday to you. I'm Martin, live with Newsround. Stay

:00:12. > :00:15.here for more of this: Why this plane ended up on a beach.

:00:16. > :00:24.And how weather reports have changed just a bit over the last 60 years.

:00:25. > :00:27.First and after a week of extreme weather across parts of the UK there

:00:28. > :00:33.are reports of more flooding on its way. People living in parts of

:00:34. > :00:36.Southern England are being warned by the Environment Agency that swollen

:00:37. > :00:40.rivers means floodwaters could rise even further. There will be a brief

:00:41. > :00:45.rest from the rain in these areas today but 94 flood warnings are in

:00:46. > :00:48.place across England and Wales. Today marks 60 years since the very

:00:49. > :00:53.first BBC TV weather presenter appeared on our screens. Back then

:00:54. > :00:59.they used maps drawn with pencils and even sticky labels. It was a lot

:01:00. > :01:02.more difficult to get it right then and forecasters were often blamed

:01:03. > :01:05.for bad weather. But thanks to technology moving things on, a lot

:01:06. > :01:13.has changed. Here's BBC weatherman Simon King with a rundown of how

:01:14. > :01:16.things work today. Technology has changed massively.

:01:17. > :01:23.We've got computers, satellite information to protect the weather

:01:24. > :01:31.up to five days ahead and also some fancy graphics that we use on the

:01:32. > :01:36.television -- predict the weather. We forecast all across the world and

:01:37. > :01:44.the BBC weather centre now reduces over 100 national broadcasts every

:01:45. > :01:48.day, compared to one everyday back in 1964.

:01:49. > :01:52.We'll have a bit more on that later. Footy now and Wayne Rooney has used

:01:53. > :01:55.social media to urge Manchester United fans to keep backing their

:01:56. > :01:58.team despite the team losing their last three matches. It's been a

:01:59. > :02:01.difficult time for new manager, David Moyes. The last time United

:02:02. > :02:05.lost four games in a row was more than 50 years ago so they're hoping

:02:06. > :02:09.for a win today against Swansea, the same team that knocked them out of

:02:10. > :02:12.the FA Cup a week ago. Now when you're relaxing on holiday

:02:13. > :02:16.on the beach the last thing you expect to see is a plane coming into

:02:17. > :02:19.land. But that's exactly what happened on this beach in Martins

:02:20. > :02:23.Bay in New Zealand. Pilots had to make a emergency landing after a

:02:24. > :02:26.engine problem. They then tried to take off again but got caught in the

:02:27. > :02:31.surf. Luckly nobody was injured. They were just a bit embarrassed.

:02:32. > :02:35.And they had to get a bit of help to get the plane out of the water.

:02:36. > :02:38.Last up, the new series of The Voice starts tonight but how much do you

:02:39. > :02:42.know about new coach Kylie Minogue? Head to the website to try our quiz

:02:43. > :02:45.and test your knowledge. That's all from me. Newsround's back

:02:46. > :02:48.right here at 11:55am. We're hoping to speak to the producer of Wild

:02:49. > :02:58.Brazil, a new wildlife porgramme. He spent loads of time filming the

:02:59. > :03:02.animals and well be asking him just what that's like. See you then.
