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.

here at 4.20pm with all the latest on the wintry weather.

:05:48.:06:03.
