Hello, it's Wednesday, I'm Ore, here is what is on the way in the

:00:09.:00:15.

next five minutes. The BBC reporter rescued from the snow. And, that's

:00:15.:00:24.

Hilda, the 85-year-old video gaming granny!

:00:24.:00:28.

What else could it be? First, bad news for snow-lovers, looks like

:00:28.:00:32.

the big freeze will end soon. The Met Office says the weather is set

:00:32.:00:37.

to become milder by the weekend but there has been more snow today in

:00:37.:00:40.

south-west England, South Wales and eastern Scotland. Hundreds of

:00:40.:00:43.

schools were closed today and the snow's been causing big problems

:00:43.:00:47.

for drivers with some motorists in Somerset spending last night in

:00:47.:00:51.

shelter because they couldn't get home. And one BBC reporter and his

:00:51.:00:57.

crew also got stranded by the snow. We came back on to the Mendip Hills

:00:57.:01:00.

in Somerset last night to do a piece for BBC News about the snow,

:01:00.:01:07.

but we were taken by surprise at how thick, heavy and fast it fell.

:01:07.:01:10.

Within the space of a couple of hours, the roads became impassable,

:01:10.:01:14.

we got stuck with our camera equipment and satellite truck and

:01:14.:01:18.

we couldn't get out. Luckily, there was a lovely family who lived on a

:01:18.:01:22.

farm next to where we were stuck, they came to our rescue, let us

:01:22.:01:26.

stay in their spare room, let us use their Internet facilities and

:01:26.:01:30.

phones and this morning, once the roads were cleared, they helped

:01:30.:01:36.

bring us and send us on our way. Good to know you are safe! Next,

:01:36.:01:40.

should the people in the UK get to vote whether the UK stays in or get

:01:41.:01:46.

out of the European Union? We have been a member of the club for 40

:01:46.:01:54.

years. Today, the Prime Minister says he thinks they should. The

:01:54.:01:58.

European Union is 27 countries whose Government makes laws which

:01:58.:02:01.

affect all of us from how we farm to how many hours we work. Today,

:02:01.:02:05.

the Prime Minister's said if his party wins the next election, he

:02:05.:02:09.

wants the British people to decide on whether to stay in it. The it's

:02:09.:02:15.

time for the British people to have their say. It's time for us to

:02:15.:02:17.

settle this question about Britain and Europe.

:02:17.:02:21.

The EU has been shaken by massive money problems in recent years and

:02:21.:02:25.

the PM says now is not the time to hold a vote on whether to stay in

:02:25.:02:29.

or leave. Instead, he says he wants to change the relationship we have

:02:29.:02:33.

with the rest of Europe and only after that, some time in 2015, put

:02:33.:02:38.

it to the people to decide. It's rare for big issues like this

:02:38.:02:42.

to be put to a public vote and, in this case, it's causing huge

:02:42.:02:48.

arguments amongst politicians. The PM said he wants to stay in the EU

:02:48.:02:52.

but is under pressure from others who want to leave. The UK

:02:52.:02:56.

Independence Party who want the UK out of Europe are adding pressure

:02:56.:02:59.

too. The Leader of the Opposition, Ed Miliband, says he doesn't think

:02:59.:03:03.

we should hold a vote and says David Cameron's speech showed he's

:03:03.:03:07.

a weak Prime Minister. Key votes like offering a vote and

:03:07.:03:10.

saying it's not me who'll decide, it's the British public, that he'll

:03:11.:03:15.

please those members of his party. It will show he's different from

:03:15.:03:20.

the other leaders, the Labour Leader Ed Miliband and the Liberal

:03:20.:03:22.

Demacrat Leader Nick Clegg because he's the only party leading

:03:22.:03:28.

offering the chance to vote. There is a long way to go before things

:03:28.:03:37.

are deciding but today the Prime Minister launched 1-1 of the

:03:37.:03:47.
:03:47.:03:49.

biggest discussions of his career. We are demons... Hilda is 85 and

:03:49.:03:54.

has been playing video games since they first came out 40 years ago.

:03:54.:03:57.

Meanwhile, more older people are getting into them and they say it

:03:57.:04:02.

helps their eye sight and keeps them mentally active.

:04:02.:04:07.

You have been getting in touch to let us know whether you have gaming

:04:17.:04:30.

Keep them coming in, guys, thank you very much. First, Bradford City

:04:30.:04:33.

continued their fairytale run in the League Cup beating Aston Villa

:04:33.:04:43.
:04:43.:04:44.

last night to book their place in the final. They led 3-1 and Hanson

:04:44.:04:48.

got the crucial goal. They are the first team to make the final in
