:00:00. > :00:07.Good morning, Ayshah here, with some great stuff coming your way.
:00:08. > :00:11.Including the amazing rescue of the parachuter who passed out in
:00:12. > :00:15.mid-air. Plus, the wild cat that found
:00:16. > :00:20.himself locked in someone's kitchen. This is Newsround.
:00:21. > :00:26.Let's start, though, with warnings about more extreme weather expected
:00:27. > :00:29.to hit the UK over the next day and a half. Heavy rain is forecast
:00:30. > :00:32.across southern England, with further flood warnings and huge
:00:33. > :00:36.tides, called coastal surges, expected to hit towns and villages
:00:37. > :00:41.by the sea. Strong winds and high tides are expected to cause damage
:00:42. > :00:47.on the west coast of England and Wales. Somerset is one of the places
:00:48. > :00:54.expected to be worst hit. We've been there this morning to see how
:00:55. > :00:58.they're preparing. They are doing everything they can,
:00:59. > :01:03.this is one of their solutions, bags lined up all along this river, with
:01:04. > :01:08.sand and a bit of plastic over the top, to give the river bank a few
:01:09. > :01:13.extra feet to contain the water that might be on the way. This is an
:01:14. > :01:19.illustration of where all of the water ends up, there should be a big
:01:20. > :01:25.archway in the middle, but it is so swollen, it is not visible. At high
:01:26. > :01:31.tide, this begins to back up, and the fear is it will begin to spill
:01:32. > :01:35.over. We had military boots on the ground, planners assessing what they
:01:36. > :01:39.can do to help out. They decided they could not do anything to what
:01:40. > :01:43.the fire service was already doing. But they say they are on stand-by if
:01:44. > :01:50.the weather gets much worse. In this quiet village, we have just had this
:01:51. > :01:53.convoy turn-up, they tell me they are carrying 300 tonnes of sand to
:01:54. > :01:56.help fill more of those bikes, to help keep back the water.
:01:57. > :02:00.Next, the first round of talks aimed at bringing peace to Syria end today
:02:01. > :02:03.in Geneva. The Syrian government and opposition are still deeply divided
:02:04. > :02:05.over key issues such as ending the violence, replacing the country's
:02:06. > :02:10.president and allowing humanitarian aid into some areas. Further talks
:02:11. > :02:16.are expected between the two sides next month.
:02:17. > :02:20.Moving on, and today is one of the most exciting days in the sporting
:02:21. > :02:24.calendar, transfer deadline day. Footy clubs have about 16 hours left
:02:25. > :02:27.to try and secure the signings they need for the rest of the season.
:02:28. > :02:33.Here's our guide through what's likely to happen.
:02:34. > :02:38.Big news with Manchester City, but why is today so important? Football
:02:39. > :02:45.fans get either excited about it, or they dread it, your club could bring
:02:46. > :02:49.in a star signing, or you could lose your biggest player. Clubs across
:02:50. > :02:53.Europe have until 11pm to get their business done before the window
:02:54. > :02:58.closes until the summer. Why do they leave it until the last minute? Why
:02:59. > :03:03.is it so stressful? They have the whole month of January, but when you
:03:04. > :03:07.have an exam and you have weeks to revise, we leave it until the last
:03:08. > :03:11.minute to do all of our cramming. Football club are the same. They
:03:12. > :03:16.have just got today to do their business, and most of the business
:03:17. > :03:22.will be done today, leaving it right up to the wire. What has happened
:03:23. > :03:28.with Manchester City? They have made a ?40 million bid for two players
:03:29. > :03:32.from Porto. You would not think they need any more players, they have
:03:33. > :03:36.scored 110 goals already this season, they are top of the league,
:03:37. > :03:45.but Manuel Pellegrini wants to reinforce them just that bit more.
:03:46. > :03:51.We will see other deals again today. What kind of players are other clubs
:03:52. > :03:57.trying to bet? Juan Mata has gone from Chelsea to Manchester United.
:03:58. > :04:02.Some of the other deals, one striker could join Arsenal, the Ukrainian
:04:03. > :04:09.winger could be on his way to Liverpool, Dimitar Berbatov could
:04:10. > :04:12.move to Spurs. It is going to be very exciting, and you can keep
:04:13. > :04:15.up-to-date on the BBC Sport website and on your mobile and tablet.
:04:16. > :04:18.Now, if you think transfer deadline day is dramatic, I'm afraid it's
:04:19. > :04:21.nothing compared to this. This is the moment a British skydiver was
:04:22. > :04:25.knocked unconscious seconds after jumping out a plane at more than
:04:26. > :04:29.12,000 feet. James Lee passed out after colliding with another diver.
:04:30. > :04:33.Luckily, he was rescued by quick-thinking friends, who noticed
:04:34. > :04:37.and activated his parachute. He came around just as the parachute opened,
:04:38. > :04:39.and landed safely. And finally, imagine coming
:04:40. > :04:44.downstairs for breakfast and finding a puma in your kitchen! That's
:04:45. > :04:48.exactly what happened to a family in Chile. This two-year-old big cat
:04:49. > :04:52.managed to lock himself in their house and caused a bit of a mess, as
:04:53. > :04:56.you can see. Police think the animal may have been kept as a pet nearby,
:04:57. > :04:59.and had either been released or escaped.
:05:00. > :05:03.Goodbye.
