Ella: Thank you Sean. In Indonesia, a powerful flash flood killed at least 100 people earlier this morning. The flood wiped out a popular jungle trekking area and national park in Jakarta. The president of Indonesia commented on the incident by saying “Nature will become angry if we are arrogant. It will show its devastating rage ……..when we treat nature with violence.” Ellis is live in Indonesia, where the destruction has taken place.
Ellis: Thank you Ella. As you can see, the flooding has become life threatening and disease is spreading quickly between the 340,000 people who have been left homeless by the floods. Residents are crowding around the Mosque on the edge of Medan, cowering over the lists of people who have been confirmed dead. I couldn’t get close enough to see, but we assumed the dead where being kept there. The growing piles of debris are scattered around Medan. Forecasters say heavy rain is set to continue for a week, with more flooding expected. Back to you Ella in the Studio.
Ella: In other world news, a 52 year old man has recently started to swim the 5,430 km Amazon River. On February the 1st , Martin Strel, a former marathon swimmer, attempted this feat with a crew of 20 people and a specially designed wetsuit to protect him predators such as piranhas, crocodiles, snakes and leeches. Strel will swim for 11-12 hours and sleep on the boat at night. He is aiming to finish on Brazil’s Atlantic coast on the 11th April, breaking his own personal record of 4,003km.Now on to Ben and Tom with National News.

Budding News Reporters take BBC by Storm
Fourteen talented students today proved that they were as good as the professionals when they had their first go at broadcasting and were declared a resounding success. The students, from Acland Burghley School in Tuffnell Park, were taking part in the BBC's new scheme for budding young news reporters: BBC School News Report. Hosted by the Camden City Learning Centre, they were given just one day to research, write, rehearse and record a full news programme, targeted at viewers of the BBC's Six O'Clock News. Their work will be broadcast over the internet to audiences worldwide on March 22nd.
All of the students involved in the project enjoyed the day and worked tremendously hard.
Editor-in-chief Kirsty McArthur declared: "It's harder than it looks, but it was well worth it!". Presented Sean Bennett said: "It was fantastic and very challenging too."
Acland Burghley teacher Russell Smith who organised of the trip said: "No comment", when questioned on how he thought the day had gone.

I thought today was quite interesting & it gave me a good idea of what it would be like to work for the news. Before today, I didn't realise that just reading something could be so hard.I found it especially difficult getting the timing right because, if it was wrong, it could make the sentence mean something completely different. Even if I don't use these certain skills later in life, I've still learnt alot. Ella.C
