E we will roll with it and you will be surprised what happens in five years time. Lets put this out. So we have to start. Its a big chunk of land of what is available. Yeah. Lets start a plantation over there. The land is there, the village is there, lets do it. Fantastic, fantastic, lets do it, man. Each year has been a record breaking hot year since we remember. So thats when i started looking at the bigger problem. These are a technique of making these large cones that could be 10 12 storeys tall, could hold some 10 million litres of water in the winter and then because of its geometric shape it doesnt melt untiljune. And when it melts in those months, it releases the water slowly, so that trees could be planted in deserts, or it augments the flow of streams so that farmers get a little more water in the crisis period. Upstream where we put the pipe and downstream where we want the ice cone, the water wants to go to the same level as up and there is pressure which throws water into
Now face england. As David Brindle reports, it was a tense and nervous game with so much at stake. At the stadium where canada, brazil, and the United States were eliminated, colombia and jamaica hoped to avoid a similarfate. For the winners, england await. The first half was physical and tense, but ultimately goalless. That was nothing new forjamaicas defence, who have been impenetrable in this tournament.

Good evening. In fact, that is where were going to start. The Prime Minister pledged the planes for rwanda would be leaving britain this spring. Its now almost two years since ministers first announced their plan to send some migrants to east africa. And the costs continue to mount. A recent report from the National Audit office suggests the cost of the policy, whether or not anyone is ever sent there, stands at £370 million. Mr sunak says it is the deterrent they need, and should be considered a cost saving, since the bill to house Asylum Seekers in britain will reach £11 billion a year by 2026. Tonight the House Of Lords will have their say. We are watching live the debate in the chamber, where possible changes to the bill will be adopted.
