Hi, I'm Ricky with your Newsround update this Friday morning. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Warnings of winter storms bringing strong winds, snow and flooding. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
And what will changes to the World Cup mean for football? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
First up and many of you might be waking up to some pretty extreme | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
weather this morning and there are severe weather | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
warnings for much of the UK. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
People in coastal parts of Essex have been told to leave their homes | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
after a warning that high tides and strong winds | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
could cause flooding. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
The army is on hand at Skegness in Lincolnshire to help out | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
when a storm surge hits later on today. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
And in many other parts of the UK things are feeling pretty | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
frosty with snow and ice causing travel problems. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
And we want to know what it's like where you are. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Send us your weather pics or videos to us by going online now. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
We use energy for all sorts of things in our houses, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
from the hair dryer to the kettle. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
But in the future we could be getting our power | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
from a brand new energy source - the sea. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Martin's being looking into how it works. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
From giant wind turbines to solar panels, renewable energy is one | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
of the many ways we can use the environment to | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
help power our homes. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
And now experts say that government should support big plans to build | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
the world's first tidal lagoons here in the UK. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
Tidal lagoons use the movement of the sea to create power. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
This would involve building a huge wall in the sea, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
around five miles long, to create a pool in the middle. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
Then large machines called turbines would be placed | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
between the sea and the pool. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
When the sea level is high, and the pool level is low, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
water will get sucked through the turbine | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
into the pool, creating power as it moves through it. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
And when the water in the pool is high but the sea level is low, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
the water will flow back out in the reverse direction, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
creating energy as it leaves. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
So are there any worries? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Well, some people are concerned about how it could affect the fish. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
We're very worried about tidal lagoons because they have | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
the potential to chop up lots of fish. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
And the positioning of lots of lagoons near the mouth | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
of rivers is very alarming. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
And how much would it cost? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Just over ?1 billion. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
But experts say it's worth it. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
If you look at the cost spread over the entire lifetime, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
120 years of the project, it comes out at about 30p | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
per household for the next 30 years. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
That's less than a pint of milk. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
The first lagoon would be built in Swansea, but the aim could be | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
to build five more off the coasts of Cardiff, Newport, Bridgwater Bay, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Colwyn Bay and West Cumbria. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
It looks like the tide is turning on the way we will see our homes | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
powered in the future. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
You might have recently heard about a vote by Fifa, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
the world governing body of football, to make | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
the World Cup bigger. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
But it's left a few people scratching their heads | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
about what it all means. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Here's a quick look at the details. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
From 2026, the World Cup is set to get bigger. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
A lot bigger. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
The number of teams taking part will increase from 32 to 48. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
It means more teams play more games, but Fifa say the tournament | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
will still only takes 32 days and the eventual winner | 0:03:27 | 0:03:35 | |
will still only have to play seven games to become world champions. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
So, what could it mean? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Well, lots of people are hoping that it could mean that more | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
big stars from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Ireland could all play at the same World Cup. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
But it's thought many of the extra teams will probably come | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
from Africa and Asia. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
There have been strong voices for and against it. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Fifa say their plan is to open football up to the whole world. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
And give more countries the chance to play at the World Cup. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
Others say Fifa have done it just to make more money and that having | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
weaker teams in the tournament means the football just won't be as good. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:17 | |
Whatever the arguments, the goal is to make the biggest | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
footballing tournament in the world even bigger and even better. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
Finally have you ever had a bit of a nightmare in the kitchen? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Well, take a look at this. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
Nine-year-old British boy Oscar was competing in the Spanish version | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
of Junior Masterchef and got pretty upset when his fish and chip dish | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
didn't quite go to plan. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Well, it wasn't all bad. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
After being on the show, Oscar was invited to cook | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
for the British ambassador to Spain and judging by this picture | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
it went much better. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
