Happy Wednesday morning. I'm Ayshah. Here's what's on the way.

:00:00.:00:08.

The castaway who claims he spent a year at sea finally arrives home.

:00:09.:00:12.

And we put your questions to the Britain's Got Talent judges. This is

:00:13.:00:18.

Newsround. First up, the weather and flood

:00:19.:00:21.

affected areas of southern England could see a month's worth of rain

:00:22.:00:24.

fall in the next few days. Severe flood warnings remain in place along

:00:25.:00:28.

the River Thames, and there are fears flooding could spread along

:00:29.:00:32.

the River Severn and the River Wye. More than 1,000 homes have been

:00:33.:00:35.

evacuated, mainly in the Thames Valley, and last night Nel met

:00:36.:00:38.

Olivia and Hannah from Wraysbury, whose houses are metres from the

:00:39.:00:49.

rising flood water. Five. Bolivia, where are we know?

:00:50.:00:58.

This is my drive, and this is where the floodwaters reached up to.

:00:59.:01:02.

Hannah, what is behind there, where the floodwater has reached to the

:01:03.:01:08.

top? There are a lot more houses, which I completely flooded. Where do

:01:09.:01:14.

you live on this road? About two doors down. So the floodwater has

:01:15.:01:18.

literally reached a couple of meters down there, and I can see you are

:01:19.:01:23.

already starting to prepare for it. Yes, we have put sandbags down to

:01:24.:01:27.

some of the floodwater getting in the house of it comes any closer. So

:01:28.:01:32.

what has the unity been going through because of the floods?

:01:33.:01:36.

Everyone has been pulling together, because it is obviously being in the

:01:37.:01:41.

village, people have been volunteering to help other people

:01:42.:01:45.

who have been flooded. Has it affected your day-to-day life? Yes,

:01:46.:01:50.

I missed school today and yesterday, and probably tomorrow. I have missed

:01:51.:01:54.

quite a lot of stuff. Are people affected because they may never see

:01:55.:02:04.

their homes the same again, and flooding might happen next month as

:02:05.:02:06.

well. I have seen first-hand the

:02:07.:02:09.

devastation that the floods can bring. Emergency services, the army

:02:10.:02:13.

and the local community have come together to do the best they can

:02:14.:02:17.

with this situation, and to better prepare for the bad weather ahead.

:02:18.:02:20.

This week on Newsround we're looking in to the illegal wildlife trade.

:02:21.:02:23.

Later this morning Prince William will make a speech about the

:02:24.:02:26.

devastating affect it's having on some of the world's most endangered

:02:27.:02:29.

species. In 2007, 13 rhinos were killed for their horns in South

:02:30.:02:34.

Africa. Last year, that figure had risen to over 1,000 and elephant

:02:35.:02:39.

poaching is even worse. In 2012, over 22,000 were killed as the

:02:40.:02:42.

demand for their ivory tusks grows in countries like China. On

:02:43.:02:50.

Newsround at 8:15, Leah will have a special report which you can also

:02:51.:02:54.

see on the Newsround website. The castaway who says he spent more

:02:55.:02:58.

than a year adrift in the Pacific has finally arrived home. Jose

:02:59.:03:01.

Alvarenga was met by family members and officials in his home country of

:03:02.:03:07.

El Salvador. He was found washed up two weeks ago in the Marshall

:03:08.:03:10.

Islands. His tale of survival on a small boat in the Pacific Ocean has

:03:11.:03:14.

left many wondering if it was true, but details emerging from Mexico

:03:15.:03:21.

seem to back up his story. It's day five of the Winter

:03:22.:03:24.

Olympics. These are live pictures from Sochi and of the women's

:03:25.:03:27.

downhill. Team GB's Chemmy Alcott is competing and is one of 42 women

:03:28.:03:30.

hurtling themselves down a mountain faster than most cars go on the

:03:31.:03:37.

motorway. It's a packed day of action in Sochi - later on there's

:03:38.:03:40.

curling, luge, women's halfpipe, men's 1000m speed skating and the

:03:41.:03:44.

men's Nordic Combined, a mixture of cross country skiing and ski

:03:45.:03:51.

jumping. In last night's footy, Chelsea

:03:52.:03:54.

missed out on going four points clear at the top of the Prem after

:03:55.:03:58.

this last minute goal from West Brom's Victor Anichebe. The Blues

:03:59.:04:02.

took the lead just before the first half and looked set to take all

:04:03.:04:05.

three points. Last night also saw one of the saves of the season -

:04:06.:04:08.

Cardiff keeper David Marshall pulling off this remarkable save

:04:09.:04:11.

against Aston Villa during their 0-0 draw.

:04:12.:04:17.

The stars of the small screen were out in force on the red carpet last

:04:18.:04:21.

night for the launch of the eighth series of Britain's Got Talent. Our

:04:22.:04:25.

very own master of all things showbiz, Ricky Boleto, put your

:04:26.:04:27.

questions to them. Here's what they had to say.

:04:28.:04:35.

Stephanie says, how you ever one singing talent competition? No,

:04:36.:04:39.

because I can't sing a note. I clearly have no talent! Jessica

:04:40.:04:45.

says, will there be any on the show this year? Simek are any cats? So

:04:46.:04:51.

far there hasn't been, and honestly, I don't think there will be.

:04:52.:04:57.

If you wants to see more of the judges, head over to our website,

:04:58.:05:00.

where you can catch Ricky's full report right now.

:05:01.:05:03.

That's all from me, Newsround's back in
