people from their cars and some people had to spend the night in community centres. and there are still weather warnings to come. now on bbc news amol rajan interviews the man playing for his eighth uk snooker title, ronnie 0 sullivan. ronnie o sullivan is generally regarded as the greatest player ever to pick up a snooker cue. a son of essex, he s broken record after record and he s as exciting away from the table as he is on it. a child prodigy, he became the youngest player to ever win the uk championships. he s compiled more century breaks than any other professional. cheering and applause commentator: i mean, the boy is such a genius, he really is. ..and his unbeaten 147 time of five minutes and eight seconds is one of the most famous moments in all sporting history. what a break! what a fantastic maximum break that is! in 2022, he went after stephen hendry s record of seven world championship titles. he ll have dreamed of this moment, equalling. but what is the true
maximum break that is! in 2022, he went after stephen hendry s record of seven world championship titles. he ll have dreamed of this moment, equalling. but what is the true price of victory for him? o sullivan has battled addiction to alcohol and drugs, fought a continuing battle with his mental health and, at 16, had to overcome an unimaginable trauma his father sent to prison for murder. but overcome it, he has. today, the father of three is still the number one player in the world uncowed and outspoken. i don t get appreciated on the snooker circuit. none of the top players do, in my opinion. how did the rocket, as he came to be known, stay at the top of the game? and where are he and snooker going next? ronnie. good to see you. how are you? you all right? come and take a seat. thanks for inviting us over. it s all right, mate. this is where the magic happens, is it? sometimes. how do you choose which table you go? that used to be my favourite one, when i first start
Lined of the aleutian chain, and then another insert covers the rest of the aleutian chain, and adak was in the second insert. Suffice to say my fiancee at the time was not too pleased.

I have seen the worst sust
Were going to emphasize exercising the Marine Oil Spill preparedness and Response Agreement executed by the eight Arctic Circles countries and then another a number of other projects that will move forward. The second category is improving the economic and Living Conditions of the people of the north. A series of projects that go from renewable energy, all the way too to a review of telecommunication capabilities within the arctic. The third is adapting to Climate Change. Very important.
