Afternoon everyone. Leah here with your last Newsround of the weekend.

:00:11.:00:15.

Stick around for the pick of today's top stories including more of this:

:00:16.:00:19.

Europe's most active volcano is at it again.

:00:20.:00:20.

A ninja rides the waves - it's fancy dress surfing.

:00:21.:00:25.

Before all that, millions of people in England and Wales are being

:00:26.:00:29.

warned to prepare for heavy rain and hurricane-force winds tonight as a

:00:30.:00:31.

massive storm heads towards the country. It's tipped to be the UK's

:00:32.:00:36.

worst storm in years. Forecasters are keeping a close watch on it

:00:37.:00:41.

I've been finding out more. It's a waiting game. For days,

:00:42.:00:45.

weather experts have been tracking the storm, keeping a close eye as it

:00:46.:00:51.

edges towards the UK. The message to millions of people is be prepared.

:00:52.:00:56.

The storm due to hit the South of England tonight is expected to be a

:00:57.:01:00.

big one. Big enough to be compared with the Great Storm of 1987. Back

:01:01.:01:05.

then winds of 115 miles an hour destroyed houses, ripped down power

:01:06.:01:08.

lines and flattened more than 1 million trees. A pier on the Isle of

:01:09.:01:14.

Wight was reduced to piles of wood. But the 1987 storm isn't just

:01:15.:01:18.

remembered for the damage it caused. Weatherman Michael Fish famously

:01:19.:01:21.

failed to predict the huge weather event. Earlier today, a woman said

:01:22.:01:29.

she had there is a hurricane on the way. If you are watching, don't

:01:30.:01:34.

worry, there is not. But nowadays Michael is keen to point out that

:01:35.:01:38.

weather is a lot easier to predict as technology has come a long way.

:01:39.:01:44.

We get a pretty good idea of what the weather is going to be ten or 15

:01:45.:01:48.

days ahead. That would have been totally impossible. It looks as

:01:49.:01:52.

though Scotland and Northern Ireland will miss the worst of the weather

:01:53.:01:55.

but meteorologists monitoring the path of the storm minute by minute

:01:56.:01:59.

are keen to work out just what route it will take once it hits the UK.

:02:00.:02:04.

Next, the head of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, says tougher punishments

:02:05.:02:07.

are needed to stamp out racism in football. Speaking at a football

:02:08.:02:11.

dinner last night he said teams should lose points or even be kicked

:02:12.:02:15.

out of competitions if their fans racially abuse players.

:02:16.:02:18.

Well, you guys have been in touch all day to let us know what you

:02:19.:02:20.

think. Thanks for those. Keep your comments

:02:21.:02:43.

coming, guys. Send them in to the Newsround website.

:02:44.:02:47.

Next, Europe's most active volcano, Mount Etna, is erupting again with

:02:48.:02:50.

plumes of ash seen over much of eastern Sicily. There were no

:02:51.:02:54.

reports of any damage or evacuations in the area but it caused airspace

:02:55.:02:57.

over the island to be closed briefly.

:02:58.:03:00.

Security forces in Indonesia say they're cracking down on roadside

:03:01.:03:04.

monkey shows in the capital Jakarta. Animal rights groups have campaigned

:03:05.:03:08.

for a ban on the shows for a long time, arguing their treatment was

:03:09.:03:12.

often cruel. Officials are now buying back the animals and taking

:03:13.:03:16.

them to shelters. The handlers are being given training to help them

:03:17.:03:19.

find new jobs. The movie that puts a group of mates

:03:20.:03:24.

at the front of a battle to save planet Earth. Enders Game is in

:03:25.:03:28.

cinemas now and I caught up with the stars of the film, Hailee Steinfeld

:03:29.:03:32.

and Asa Butterfield to put your questions to the Hollywood

:03:33.:03:38.

A-listers. There is action. There is a race to

:03:39.:03:51.

save planet Earth. And it is down to two best mates to do it. Think of

:03:52.:03:55.

the film as a little bit like Harry Potter in space. It is a bit of a

:03:56.:04:06.

departure from his usual film. But he says he is up for the challenge

:04:07.:04:10.

as I found out when I got to ask the stars your questions. Thank you very

:04:11.:04:16.

much for joining us. What was it like when you first met the cast? We

:04:17.:04:25.

all got on so well. Because of that, performances in the film could be

:04:26.:04:26.

that much better. Meeting performances in the film could be

:04:27.:04:33.

the best experiences I have ever had. What do you do for fun when you

:04:34.:04:43.

are not acting or going to school? I listen to music, I write music, I

:04:44.:04:48.

play video games. I like hanging out with my friends and not doing much.

:04:49.:04:53.

What is your favourite acting job you have done so far? Ever since I

:04:54.:05:06.

did my first 16 years ago, this has been one huge adventure. It has

:05:07.:05:13.

shaped the way I am. Despite being a Hollywood star, he is a big

:05:14.:05:25.

Newsround fan. I used to watch it. X Factor judge Louis Walsh says he's

:05:26.:05:28.

having second thoughts about quitting the ITV show. He had said

:05:29.:05:33.

that after ten years this was his last series. But last night on a

:05:34.:05:36.

chat show he said he's reconsidering.

:05:37.:05:38.

And as we get even closer to Halloween, people all over the world

:05:39.:05:41.

are getting creative with their spooky costumes. But that's not

:05:42.:05:45.

enough anymore. It's also what you do while you're dressed up, like

:05:46.:05:49.

these surfer dudes. These guys took part in a Halloween surfing

:05:50.:05:52.

competition at Santa Monica State Beach in America and watch out for

:05:53.:05:54.

the surfing ninja. That's all we've got time for today.

:05:55.:05:59.

Ricky's back in the morning for even more Newsround. Bye.
