so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, the lounge and the kitchen warm. keep that door shut. and then how about this, if you re watching telly with eric in the evening, you can turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket? ok, we will give it a try. excellent. if you re making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cup. we had some other tips, too, always use the microwave when you can, it s much more efficient. lights out when you re not in the room, and. your washing machine can run at 30, not 40. # oh, the weather outside is frightful.# it is two months later and just look at the weather, it s absolutely freezing. so what i want to know is how are jade and eric getting on? eric! sunday the 11th of december,
value for money unreliability. and in the north of england just now they have not been delivered, those two top priorities, so that has to be addressed. is it fundamentally down to money be addressed. is it fundamentally down to money and be addressed. is it fundamentally down to money and investment? | be addressed. is it fundamentally i down to money and investment? it s down to money and investment? it s fundamentally down to resolving the issues as drivers in both companies and they are coming through training and they are coming through training a new timetable is coming on the 11th of december but due to the strikes, it s too early to judge whether the new timetables will be a success or not and it s about a total reset of the relationship between the unions and the companies working together, resolving the issues and giving the service that passengers want and pay for. fine passengers want and pay for. one wonders how passengers want and pay for. one wonders how we pass

strikes as they progress in the next couple of weeks. but now i want to talk about something more cheerful. last week we spoke to howard hugh of nasa, one of the scientists working on the artemis mission to get people back to the moon. not that we are obsessed with it in the studio. but the mission is up there somewhere, and it has been capturing some amazing pictures. look at this, the artemis mission s orion capsule has successfully done a flyby of the moon. look at the detail on the surface, at lot more than a block of cheese. it is day 11 of the mission now, and orion is in what is called distant retrograde orbit. i learned that this morning. it means flying at about 40,000 miles above the moon, and it will go halfway around before coming home, when it is due to splashdown in the atlantic on the 11th of december. as howard told us, they need to capsule back for the next mission. the pictures are amazing, but the project is a giant chemistry lab too. there are no
collecting important data. most of those sensors are getting an idea of whether its environment is going to be ok for people. so things like radiation sensors, motion sensors, accelerometers, things like that, things that we as human payloads are going to care a lot about. and this is vital because if this mission is a success, astronauts will join the next ride, taking in these views for themselves, like this one with the earth as a pale blue dot. but there s some way to go yet. and nasa will be assessing every stage of the spacecraft s journey before it returns home with a splashdown in the pacific ocean on the 11th of december. rebecca morelle, bbc news. let s get some of the day s other news. a fire at a factory in china s henan province has killed at least 38 people. state media says criminal suspects have been taken into custody, but gave no other details.
