It's Friday! Yes! | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
It's just after 5:00pm! Yes! | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
That must mean it's Newsround?! Yes! Here's what's coming up: | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
The UK braces itself for more flooding. | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
Ricky gets a bit too close to a dinosaur. And keep watching to find | :00:27. | :00:37. | |

out about danger in the manger Roads cut off, homes evacuated and | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
travel chaos. The heavy rain and high winds are | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
once again causing big trouble across many parts of the UK. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
More than 70 flood warnings are in force. And over the weekend things | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
are expected to get a lot worse as I've been finding out. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
The grim pictures that sum up the last 24 hours for many people | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
across parts of the UK Bostock this street in north Wales, also flooded | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
the emergency services had a hard time getting to where they needed | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
to be. It was not just the rain. We were nearly blown away whilst at | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
filming in North Wales yesterday. Things got worse as it got later | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
and in Birmingham the wind was so powerful it blew off the roof of | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
this mosque. No one was hers. In the south-west, hundreds of people | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
were left without power and railways are closed. Why did the | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
floods happen? We had droughts earlier in the year because the | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
water table, which is where the natural level of the water level is | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
beneath the ground was very low. Since then we had the wettest | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
summer in 100 years. That raised the water level up. When we had | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
rain, the rain filters into the ground and continues to make the | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
water table rise. Over the last few days we have had lots of water in | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
the ground, so any you rain coming in were just flow out to the low- | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
lying areas and caused flooding. The rain has just started a game. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
It has been a nice day up until now so people have had the chance to | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
clean up the mess. But they will have to prepare for what is to come. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
There are just over 70 flood warnings for England and Wales and | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
things are expected to go was over the weekend as the wet weather | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
starts again in the south-west and Wales before moving over to cover | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
nearly the whole of the country by Sunday. It is not time to put away | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the sandbags for many just yet. They bring you your Christmas and | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
birthday cards but our postmen and women were attacked 3,000 times in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the last year by dogs. At the moment it's hard for them to | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
do anything about it because technically they're on private | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
property. But now Royal Mail wants the government to change the law so | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
owners of dangerous dogs can be taken to court more easily. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
I've been out on the rounds with postman, Thom, in Greater | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
Manchester to find out about his experience with a dog. Just | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
delivering a post on a normal date. As I put my hand through the | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
letterbox, the dog grabbed the letters and took my hand with it. A | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
couple of holes in my hand and bleeding. I am more cautious when | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
delivering. You're thinking about the dogs in houses and stuck. A lot | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
can be done, simple as putting a sign on the door saying, beware of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
the dock. Now I bet you thought Mexico was | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
just called Mexico right? Well, you're wrong! The country's | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
official title is the United States of Mexico, just like it's neighbour, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
America. That could be about to change. The Mexican president | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
doesn't want to be like the USA any more and wants his country's name | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
to change to just Mexico, as it's known the world over. He's trying | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
to get the plan passed through parliament. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Christmas is definitely getting closer, the lights are up, the ads | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
are starting and the first big Christmas film hits cinemas today. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
Nativity 2 stars David Tennant and was mainly filmed without a script. | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
Take a look. It has got a bit of a X Factor. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
will go through to boot camp. splash of drama. And a lot of silly | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
stuff. This is a British film all about Christmas. It follows Mr | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
poppy and his class of unruly kids to Wales as they try to win a | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
singing competition. But this time they have a new teacher, an actor | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
who has played a travelling Time Lord before. Even he admits it was | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
chaos. The film is improvised which means we do not have a script. Use | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
the you know who is going to say what and when. I spent a day in a | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
school to see how real teachers do it to pick up any tips. Making a | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
movie without a script is unusual. And most of the cast had only done | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
a bit of acting on school nativity plays. What was it like to act | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
along the kids who had not done much acting before. What are the | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
use as a grown-up former, they respond. It we can watch little | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
people and then how they respond in the moment, the world would be | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
happier. It was great fun because they are so spontaneous. You have | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
no idea what they will say or do. Most of the kids were in the first | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
film and have returned. This ten- year-old Ben was seven in the first | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
movie and his career has kicked off ever since. This is him | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
entertaining kids in hospital in Between his acting, stand up comedy. | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
You have met Tom Cruise? I bumped into him. For Ben and his cast of | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
kissed, this will be an extra special Christmas. And knows, they | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
might be back for more sequels in the future. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
And you can also check out my review of the film over on our | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
website. Ever wondered what it's like to be | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
up close and personal with a real- life dinosaur? Yes! | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Well prepare yourself for what I reckon is the next best thing. A | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
live show with puppets called Walking With Dinosaurs is coming to | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:37. | ||
London next month, and Ricky's been It is pretty rare we have dinosaurs | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
at media city UK. Tell us about this creature? He is very realistic. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
This is a baby T Rex. He is a lot smaller than he would have been. He | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
would have been seven metres tall and 30 metres long. His mother is | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
in the show as well. -- 30 metres. You do start believing in dinosaurs. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
I am a scientist and I know from fossils they are real, but when you | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
see them like this you believe they were alike. It is fantastic. | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
cannot eat the microphone! Wide you think we are still fascinated by | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
them? I think because they are amazing creatures. They are | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
stunning. Many of them are huge. Some are small but the range up to | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
huge creatures. It is amazing to know so much about life beyond 65 | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
million years ago. Banks are coming on a programme. You are the oldest | :07:47. | :07:57. | |

Was he all right? Next, it's not where most of us | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
would choose to live but a couple in China are staying put in their | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
house even though it's smack, bang in the middle of a motorway! | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
They're the only people left in their neighbourhood after it was | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
knocked down to build the road. They say the authorities aren't | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
offering them enough money for their house, so builders have | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
turned it into a roundabout. Finally, listen up One Direction | :08:25. | :08:28. | |

Direction have become the first ever British band to have their | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
first two albums go straight to the top of the American Billboard | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
