It's finally Friday, Ricky here with your top | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Warnings of winter storms bringing strong winds, snow and flooding. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
What happened after this boy's kitchen nightmare? | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
And why these guys are celebrating new year today. | :00:14. | :00:35. | |
First up many of you might be waking up to some pretty extreme | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
There are severe weather warnings for much of the UK and snow and ice | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
And in some places along the east coast high tides and strong winds | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
could cause flooding, as I've been finding out. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Along the east coast of the country, flood gates have been closed | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
That's when strong winds and high tides happen at the same time | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
causing big problems for coastal areas. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
In the village of Jaywick, in the southeast of England, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Emergency services are getting ready and evacuation centres, | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
We've got exceptionally strong winds, between 40 | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
and 50 miles an hour, potentially gusts stronger | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
than that, are going to coincide with the high tide just | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
after lunchtime so that's why we've put in place this | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
operation to evacuate safely the people of Jaywick. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
In Skegness, in the east of England, soldiers have been | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
And businesses along the seaside are doing all they can to prepare. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
More wintry weather is expected today with nearly all of the UK | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
with weather warnings for snow, ice, or both. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
And keep your weather pics or videos coming in, go online now. | :01:51. | :02:08. | |
This video was snow in Glasgow! Look like it was pretty chilly! Thank you | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
for all of those. Keep them coming in. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
We use energy for all sorts of things in our houses, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
But in the future we could be getting our power | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
from a brand new energy source - the sea. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Martin's being looking into how it works. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
From giant wind turbines to solar panels, renewable energy is one | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
of the many ways we can use the environment to | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
And now experts say that government should support big plans to build | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
the world's first tidal lagoons here in the UK. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Tidal lagoons use the movement of the sea to create power. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
This would involve building a huge wall in the sea, | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
around five miles long, to create a pool in the middle. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Then large machines called turbines would be placed | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
When the sea level is high, and the pool level is low, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
water will get sucked through the turbine | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
into the pool, creating power as it moves through it. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
And when the water in the pool is high but the sea level is low, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the water will flow back out in the reverse direction, | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Well, some people are concerned about how it could affect the fish. | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
We're very worried about tidal lagoons because they have | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
the potential to chop up lots of fish. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
And the positioning of lots of lagoons near the mouth | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
If you look at the cost spread over the entire lifetime, | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
120 years of the project, it comes out at about 30p | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
The first lagoon would be built in Swansea, but the aim could be | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
to build five more off the coasts of Cardiff, Newport, Bridgwater Bay, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
It looks like the tide is turning on the way we will see our homes | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
If you think I'm two weeks late, you'd be wrong. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
Some people in Gwaun Valley in Wales go by a different calendar. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
For them, New Year's Day or Hen Galan is today. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
A group of school kids there told us how they'll be celebrating. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
In Gwaun Valley, we're celebrating Hen Galan. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
We're celebrating New Year's Eve 13 days after everybody else. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Because Pope Gregory changed the calendar. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
We will be going round everybody's houses singing. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
This is, these, this is one of the songs. | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
To all of you celebrating today, happy New Year! | :04:56. | :05:12. | |
Now, check this out for a cool winter sport. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
This is the Great Odyssey dog sled race across the Alps in France. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Hundreds of sleigh-teams take place and loads of fans come | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Hang on, I think this dog has got the wrong idea! | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Finally have you ever had a bit of a nightmare in the kitchen? | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Nine-year-old British boy Oscar was competing in the Spanish version | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
of Junior Masterchef and got pretty upset when his fish and chip dish | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
After being on the show, Oscar was invited to cook | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
for the British ambassador to Spain and judging by this picture | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
