she could have worded it way better. and maybe that speaks to her ability to communicate. i just don t think so. if you look at the polling around the country, if you look at the video she put out yesterday, if you look at why she is polling in those target areas, where we have actually got to win voters who are as yet undecided, or who are pretty disillusioned with all politics, penny is head and shoulders above, in the south west, in the north, northern ireland, scotland and wales. that s because they don t know anything about her and they can project whatever they want on to her. maybe, victoria, but i think that from what you saw in the debates she is just not prepared to get into the pretty unattractive dogfights and terrier fights between people who have recently been in cabinet, with one you would expect her to agree. she has tried to focus on the bread and butter issues that matter to british people and bring to this contest some grace and style, some humour
change is degrading this precious peatland mud, and that that will have knock on effects for our environment. it s the change in weather pattern, so we re getting more and more periods of little rainfall or no rainfall. and because of that, then, you know, we re talking nearly a metre, probably even further down, which is actually dry peat. and peat should be wet. peat should be wet. we should have sphagnum on top of it, the right type of plants, so it can suck in and store carbon. human greenhouse gas emissions have already warmed the world by, on average, about 1.1 celsius, and global temperatures continue to rise. so while we re promised respite from this dangerously hot spell by the middle of the week, there s no break in sight from our changing climate. we ll all need to prepare for more extremes in the future. victoria gill, bbc news. and for uk viewers at 11.30 this morning we ll be answering all your questions on the heatwave. you can send them in
yes. because, a, it won t bring luke back. but b, that s not the way forward. there s no point being angry with people because they re none the wiser than luke was. the people i m angry with are law makers, not luke, not his friends, not the dark web. claire is now calling for the decriminalisation and regulation of all areas of the drugs trade, including the dark net. joe tidy, bbc news, in devon. and you can hearfrom a teenager who buys drugs from the dark net on bbc radio 4 tonight at 8pm and later on bbc sounds. species from around the world that hitch a lift on ships, are threatening antarctica s marine ecosystem. a study by the university of cambridge tracked vessels which regularly visit the isolated region, and found they bring species including mussels and crabs which go on to disrupt the habitat and harm wildlife. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has this report.
they re measures to protect what the scientists say is the last pristine coast on earth. victoria gill, bbc news. 0ne one of those images of the penguins. now it s time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. good morning. i m glad to say it is not as cold here as it is there. it has been a cold start for some of us across northern ireland, northern scotland and northern england. for the rest of england and wales, we have cloud and drizzle, mist and fog clearing south courtesy of this with a friend. this is a cold front and behind it, colderairand as a friend. this is a cold front and behind it, colder air and as you see from the isobars, it is windy across the north and west, gusty winds blowing in showers to north and west scotland, one or two of those across northern ireland. this weatherfront sinks south, tightening up across
pandemic, and the children cannot do face to face learning. education is very important for these children. most of the volunteer teachers come from poor backgrounds themselves so they know what it s like to have nothing, and are delighted to have the opportunity to help these children, fired their imaginations and keep their dreams alive. making a discovery which dates back 170 million years is a rare enough achievement. actually being able to build an accurate picture of the size and shape of a fossilised dinosaur is another challenge. but it appears the giant flying dinosaur or pterosaur may well have been far bigger and living far earlier, than had been presumed. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has the story of a significant scottish discovery. these look a little like they might be teeth. and it s pretty symmetrical. hidden in the rock for 170 million years, the teeth and bones of a jurassic reptile.
