Hi, it's 4.20pm. I'm Martin, coming up... I am in a village where the | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
waters are continuing to rise. And all the latest from Sochi. | :00:15. | :00:26. | |
This is Newsround. First, hurricane force winds, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
torrential rain and even snow in some areas, Britain's wet winter has | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
just gone up a level. The Met Office - scientists who predict the weather | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
for the government - have issued a rare red warning - the highest alert | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
- with extreme winds expected in north and west Wales and parts of | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
North West England. Forecasters say the bad weather will have an impact | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
on areas of the country already hit by floods. Ayshah joins us live from | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
Datchet, in Berkshire. Here in the village it is a very | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
water the village it is a very watery scene indeed. It looks like | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
it is going to get worse. Forecasters have said that it could | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
possibly get worse. Beer in mind we are about seven months -- miles away | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
from Heathrow and two miles away from Windsor Castle. But the army | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
have been brought in and they have been putting sandbags at different | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
properties all over this village. The river burst its banks on Monday | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
and water has been gushing through ever since. The children have been | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
speaking to us in this area and have been telling us how they feel about | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the situation. We have been school since Friday. We're not allowed to | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
use the water any more because it is contaminated. It has been chaotic | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
because no one can get out. It is boring at all because we cannot go | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
anywhere. Sandbags have been littering the whole street, people | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
are just trying to keep this water right. The emergency services have | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
been here, we have had two or three fire trucks come through in the last | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
couple of minutes, they are all trying to help people in this | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
community. Many people do not know when they will be able to go home | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
and get back to the lives that they had before. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
Meanwhile all schools in Pembrokeshire are closed and people | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
have been told to take action immediately with 100 mph winds | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
expected later on tonight. There is plenty more on the floods on our | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
website as well. Check out Nel's special report from a family in | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
flood-hit Wraysbury, find out what the weather warnings mean and | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
discover why the floods are happening. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Widespread flooding is set to continue with experts warning that | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
many areas in the South of England could be under water until as late | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
as May because of the sheer amount of surface water. Head over to the | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
website to find out more on that one. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
And some experts think this 5-metre hole that opened up on the M2 in | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Kent could be a result of the heavy rains. Sinkholes can happen when | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
heavy rain collects underground. If the rain is slightly acidic it eats | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
away at alkaline rocks - eventually causing the ground to give way. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Prince William is to make a speech this evening, calling for an end to | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
the illegal wildlife trade. Campaigners say hunting endangered | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
animals, like tigers and elephants, has reached an all time high and | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
they're are at risk of extinction. In Africa, it's thought an elephant | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
is killed by poachers every 15 minutes. The BBC's Mark Lowen sent | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
us this from Kenya. Their parents have been killed. Why? | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
For these, the tasks. Their teeth under the long trunks. The elephants | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
need them but in many parts of the world like China in the Far East the | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
tasks that are made out of a very self are very high prices. Elephants | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
are like us, they have feelings, this sense loss and pain. So what is | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
being done to stop this? Rangers and the wildlife parks are going around | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
to trying catch the butchers, the hunters, and they are using | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
high-tech planes and computers find them. They are also punishing the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
butchers with stiff penalties, they are putting them in prison for many | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
years and making them pay a lot of money to hunt these elephants. -- | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
the butchers many say a wildlife -- many people see that a worldwide ban | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
should be put on people selling ivory. -- the poachers. The fight | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
goes on to save these beautiful animals and stopped an international | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
crime. To all the action from Sochi, and | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Team GB's Chemmy Alcott finished 19th in the downhill skiing and the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
woman's Curling team were unlucky after losing 9-6 against Canada. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Check out these pictures of the Men's Nordic combined - a mixture of | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
cross-country skiing and ski jumping. The gold went to German | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Eric Frenzel. | :04:59. | :05:00. |
