of you at home are gripped with a bad case of curling fever. Curling

:01:34.:01:40.

fever continues to sweep the UK. The event everyone is talking about.

:01:41.:01:47.

Curling. Oh, my goodness. Shops run out of curling equipment. Everybody

:01:48.:01:54.

wants to have a go. Curl, Curling. The fists are in the air. OK. That

:01:55.:01:58.

may be slightly over the top. It's fair to say a lot of us are getting

:01:59.:02:03.

caught up in the curling drama at Sochi 2014. How do you play? Is the

:02:04.:02:09.

aim of the game is to get your team's stones close to the centre of

:02:10.:02:14.

this target, called the house. Get closer than your opponent and you'll

:02:15.:02:18.

score more points. Sweepers brush the ice using a special broom to

:02:19.:02:23.

make sure the ice surface is smooth. A single hair can alter the

:02:24.:02:27.

direction a stone is travelling. As well as their broom, players need

:02:28.:02:31.

special shoes to walk on the ice. We have a pair of curling shoes for a

:02:32.:02:35.

right handed player. On the left foot we have plastic which makes

:02:36.:02:41.

this sole slippery. On the other side soft rubber pads, which help

:02:58.:03:04.

have seen a photo finish in the history of the Games. A huge crash

:03:05.:03:19.

caused a three-way photo finish. Russia got the second spot. Back

:03:20.:03:23.

here in the UK there was an earthquake this afternoon, experts

:03:24.:03:28.

say it happened five kilometers under the Bristol Channel between

:03:29.:03:35.

North Devon and the coast of Gower in south Wales. People said it sent

:03:36.:03:38.

their houses rocking. No damage has been reported. No-one was hurt. You

:03:39.:03:47.

are travelling the world with the face earth team reporting on these

:03:48.:03:50.

things. How big a deal with this? From a UK point of view, this was a

:03:51.:03:55.

moderate earthquake. Globally it was quite small. To put it into

:03:56.:04:00.

perspective. The earthquake that triggered the tsunami in 201 # 1 was

:04:01.:04:07.

8. 9. This was 4.1. It happened rat sea. No damage, no-one was injured.

:04:08.:04:12.

The UK is no stranger to earthquake. They happen every two to three

:04:13.:04:17.

years. Some go unnoticed. The last big one was in 2008. That was in

:04:18.:04:23.

link conshire. That was 5.2. Back then buildings were damaged people

:04:24.:04:27.

were injured. Out at sea, much smaller earthquake. Nobody was

:04:28.:04:30.

injured. Nothing to really worry about. Thank you very much. Next

:04:31.:04:36.
