In America, the big freeze spread south, nearly 200 million people are | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
affected. Also tonight: Coalition row over | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
immigration targets show three out of four people want to see numbers | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
cut. The young Afghan girl who says her | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
brother told her to attempt suicide attack. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
See it, here it, time it - the wearable gadgets that big could | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
become the new craze, we are at the well's biggest electronic show. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
The gang found guilty of trafficking scores of women. And the boss of | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Gatwick Airport says sorry after dozens of flights were cancelled on | :01:20. | :01:32. | |
Christmas Eve. Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. From | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
the southwest of England to Tayside in Scotland, nearly every region of | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
the UK now has a flood warning. And it's not over yet. The Met Office is | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
forecasting heavy showers for parts of southern England into tomorrow. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Today, MPs raised concerns about whether budgets cuts have affected | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
the Government's ability to deal with these emergencies. Duncan | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Kennedy reports from Dorset, where the sea crashed over flood defences | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
at Chesil Beach in Portland. It is so bad here that one Coast Guard | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
officials said she had never seen in her entire career such a prolonged | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
storm. All night and all day today these mountainous seas have come | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
pounding in past the platform I am standing on which is above those | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
waves behind me. All driven by relentless, freezing cold winds. If | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
you speak to the local people they will tell you they have never seen | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
whether like this in 20 years. It was the storm that came with its own | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
sights and sounds. On their phones, local people apparently recording | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the emergency siren, the first time it has ever been used here to warn | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
people of the dangers. It is fantastic to watch. You've deal safe | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
here. Jackie Breakspear decided to stay and headed to the upper floors. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
It was frightening in some respects but it was quite exhilarating. We | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
were upstairs watching it from the window. One wave him straight cross | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
and there was water pouring all down the windows, the doors, everywhere. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
It did not actually come in so we were very lucky. Four hours, the | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
seas grew. Sending volleys of pebbles 20 feet up on to the | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
promenade. This was the worst I have ever seen it. It is the only time I | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
have heard the siren go. It was quite an evening. It was the worst | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
storm in more than two decades. Even where I am standing on the 20 foot | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
tall defence system was not high enough to stop the waste from going | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
over the top. And look further along where the pom-pom Rock went from | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
this to this. Hundreds of tonnes toppled by wave power. It was the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
same for this arch in Cornwall, reduced from this to this. The | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
destruction has fed into the debate about blood and coastal protection. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
MPs and others today questioned the Government 's ability to respond. -- | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
flood. We are looking at the ability of the environment agency in | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
connection with flooding events in the future. The Government says | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
future flood defence spending is safe. In places like oxygen and | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Aberystwyth, the water kept falling and flowing. -- Oxford. It has been | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
very frustrating. High tide of the high tide has been pummelling the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
coastline. It has limited work we can do until the storm subsides. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
While all the talk is of a land being batted comes this, a cod, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
washed up on a coastal golf course. All part of a wild, wet winter which | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
remains unpredictable and challenging. As we get to the end of | :05:23. | :05:35. | |
this first week in January, the storms are continuing. There is a | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
political debate going on about how we protect ourselves how we look | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
after our coasts and stop the inland flooding. In many ways, that is a | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
debate for the future as we all enjoy this unending cycle of winter | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
weather. Meanwhile, in America, nearly half the population has been | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
affected by bitterly cold weather, with tens of millions of people | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
warned to stay at home. The effect of the so-called polar vortex is now | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
spreading south and east, with many places recording the lowest | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
temperatures in 20 years. In one part of Montana, a wind chill of | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
minus 53 Celsius was recorded. From Washington, Rajini Vaidyanathan | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
reports. America 's deep freeze. More than half of the country is | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
enduring some of the coldest temperatures felt in decades. It is | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
freezing man. It is cold. It is colder than it has been in forever. | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
I have more layers. Because of this unusually cold spell is what | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
forecasters in the US are calling a poll of four text, and arctic blast | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
which has brought with it subzero temperatures. -- polar vortex. The | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
result? Travel misery. Treacherous roads and thousands of flights | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
cancelled. Trains were also brought to a halt. Hundreds of passengers | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
near Chicago were forced to spend a night on board. The water has risen | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
over in the centre of Washington, DC. It is so cold I can barely feel | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
my fingers. The thermometer is giving a reading of around 10 | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
degrees than height, about -12 Celsius. If you want an idea of how | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
cold it really is, take a look at this. We poured water on a T-shirt | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
less than five minutes ago and now it is completely solid. The mercury | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
has been so low that part of the East and midwest of the country have | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
been colder than parts of Antarctica. People have been warned | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
to stay indoors to avoid frostbite. Some have no choice like this post | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
man. I have a face mask because my moustache keeps freezing. The | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
crippling cold weather is forecast to last for the next few days. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Three out of four people in Britain want to see a cut in the number of | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
immigrants allowed into the UK. According to the latest British | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Social Attitudes Survey more than half of those questioned want to see | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
major crackdown. These latest figures come as a new row broke out | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
within the Coalition Government about immigration targets. Here's | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
our political editor, Nick Robinson. Immigration has changed the face of | :08:29. | :08:41. | |
Britain. Nowhere more so than at here, Saint Mark primary school. | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
They call themselves an international school because the | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
pupils here speak 42 different languages, including two Z dialects. | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
It is a happy and successful school. We are full. People coming into the | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
city need to appreciate they cannot pick and choose any more. Schools in | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
the city of full to bursting. The Prime Minister promised to cut the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
numbers coming to Britain. Meeting the target will not be child's | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
play. Setting an arbitrary cap not be helpful. It will not achieve the | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
below 100,000 level set by the Conservatives. Let's be practical | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
about it. The target is a bit of a nonsense? The idea it should come | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
down to 100,000 is something the Liberal Democrats have not signed up | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
to because we think it is impractical. Net migration is the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
difference between the numbers moving here and the numbers leaving | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
each year. David Cameron said he would get the number down to tens of | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
thousands. At the time of the last election it was 235,000. It has | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
dropped by a third but is rising again. Latest statistics showed net | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
migration at 182,000, a long way off that target. Long queues for work in | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Spain, Portugal, Greece and other crisis hit European countries, meant | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
more people came here to work or stayed well and returning home. The | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Government cannot control that. Nor can they stop Romanians and | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Bulgarians coming to join them, not that many have yet. Does the Home | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
Secretary Billy think she will be able to meet her target? My job is | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
to look at every aspect of immigration and make sure we are | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
making the changes. Are you not saying, if, maybe, perhaps? That is | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
my target. What I want to do is get on with the job of working towards | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
that target. Labour says the target is the wrong approach. Find that | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
having set the target, they have figures going up. There is a big up | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
between rhetoric and reality. The other problem with net migration is | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
that it treats all immigration as the same. It treats, therefore, | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
people who are coming as university graduates in the same way as | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
others. Targets are no targets, all the main political parties now say | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
they want to control immigration or that they also say we need people to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
come here, to keep the economy moving and Bill skills shortages and | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
the jobs we simply do not want to do. The question facing those who | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
want tougher curbs is, do they accept the country might pay an | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
economic price? UKIP says it wants to stop anyone coming to settle here | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
for the next five years. In part because of community tensions that | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
immigration can sometimes cause. Are you, Nigel Farage, saying I accept | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
we could be poorer but so be it? I do not want a country whose | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
population is heading toward 75 million people. There are some | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
things in a community that matter more than money. Cutting the numbers | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
may be popular but it is not easy and it comes with consequences. And | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
you can see Nick Robinson's documentary, The Truth About | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
Immigration at 9:30pm on BBC Two. The family of a missing 18-year-old | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
girl say she was angry and upset the last time they saw her because she | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
was barred from going to university as they are seeking asylum in | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Britain. Nida Ul-Naseer has not been seen since she left her home in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Newport in South Wales ten days ago. Hwyel Griffith reports. A model | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
student, desperate to go to university. Nida Ul-Naseer's | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
disappearance is said to be completely out of character. Her | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
family says the 18-year-old was upset on the night she disappeared, | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
angry that their status as asylum-seekers meant she couldn't go | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
on to higher education. Yeah, I think this is the reason that she | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
decided to leave house, because she's not getting opportunity to go | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
to uni. Nida went missing from the family home on December the 28th, | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
stepping out, they say, to put out the rubbish. Nida's family say that | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
when she walked out of the house, she didn't have her coat, her purse, | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
or even her mobile phone, which she took everywhere. They say they | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
simply have no idea where she could have gone. And usually, a team of 40 | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
officers have been searching for the teenager, combing through local | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
streets and lanes, examining hundreds of hours of CCTV footage. | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
They have also been to her college, asking friends and classmates what | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
they think led to the disappearance. We remain open-minded about the | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
reason for Nida's disappearance and have and will continue to consider | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
all lines of inquiry. Nida's family has stressed several times that | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
they're not angry with the teenager and only want her to return home. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Details have emerged about a series of violent attacks in recent weeks | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
at Britain's biggest prison, Oakwood jail near Wolverhampton. A number of | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
cells were damaged in nine hours of disturbances on Sunday night. BBC | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
News has also seen documents describing a series of assaults and | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
an outbreak of disorder in November. Two people have admitted sending | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
menacing tweets to Caroline Criado-Perez, a journalist who was | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
at the forefront of a campaign to have women featured on banknotes. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
John Nimmo, who's 25, and Isabella Sorley, who's 23, pleaded guilty to | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
sending the messages in July last year. They'll be sentenced later | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
this month. An Afghan girl, thought to be about | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
aged ten, has been detained by police after she was found wearing a | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
suicide vest in southern Afghanistan. Speaking on Afghan TV, | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
the girl said she was asked to carry out an attack by her brother. Police | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
have launched a manhunt for him. The face of a child who is the | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
latest pawn in a brutal conspiracy. Afghan officials say her brother, a | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
Taliban commander gave her a suicide vest telling her to blow up a police | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
station. TRANSLATION: my brother and his friend forced me to wear the | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
suicide vest. They gave me extra clothes to wear. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
They brought me near the river to cross our nice but when I saw the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
water, I shouted it was too cold and I could not cross the water. Then | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
they took me back home and took the best of my body. The use of female | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
suicide bombers remains rare in Afghanistan, even more so the use of | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
a young girl. And that why it has shocked Afghans. The last case | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
anyone can think of is in 2011 when an eight-year-old was carried a bomb | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
to carry to a car blowing herself up. It has aroused a sense of | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
revulsion in Afghanistan amongst normal people. It was shocking, in | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
the family. My girls were shocked. In the parliament today, MPs were | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
talking about it. It is scary in a way this actually happened by the | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
brother. How brutal a brother can be to promote his sister to commit a | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
suicide bombing. This story is part of the war of words between the | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Taliban and the Afghan government and its alibis. The full details of | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
this are still emerging. We have not got to the bottom of it. If the | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
Taliban have had to resort to using a schoolgirl as an attempted suicide | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
bomber, it underlines how desperate they must be to resort to attack | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
ticks like that. What will happen to the little girl caught in the middle | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
of this war is not clear, although the Afghan authorities have | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
described her as an innocent child, who will be treated as such. | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
Our top story this evening. Hundreds of flood warnings and | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
alerts have been issued around the UK as more rainfall is forecast. And | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
still to come: Sales of new cars have hit a six-year high. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Later on BBC London: Raising the Thames Barrier for the 11th time | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
since the New Year - a behind-the-scenes look at how London | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
is kept safe from flooding. Why the Lord Mayor wants to make the | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
workforce more diverse. On this programme we've reported on | :17:58. | :18:11. | |
the growing pressures on accident and emergency departments in the | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
NHS. Now a BBC investigation has revealed the extent to which some | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
people are using A facilities in the UK. Figures obtained by freedom | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
of information requests show that nearly 12,000 people made more than | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
ten visits to the same unit last year. And 157 people attended more | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
than 50 times. Doctors say the figures suggest their departments | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
could be picking up the gaps in other public services. Here's our | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Health Correspondent, Branwen Jeffreys. | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
Every single person in the team is busy, just a normal day in the A | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
in Stockport. The senior doctor says most people only find themselves | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
here once. Patients like Alan Matt Hughes who came in with chest | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
pains, he needs to be checked urgently. But others arrive in A | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
repeatedly, some elder patients whose fragile health is hard to | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
manage. We have an ageing population, it is a sick population | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
and we are trying to reduce the beds. We are asking more of the | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
community services and the future looks like it will be more of the | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
same unless we get on top of how we manage people in the community | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
better. Roger says his son, James has gone to A 42 times in the last | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
couple of years. A rare stomach condition leaves him in a couple -- | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
severe pain and they don't know where else to turn. What else can he | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
do? As a father I cannot watch my son banging he says head. We have | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
got to do something. The only thing that relieves him is by dialling | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
999. Could any repeated visits be avoided? Are some people using A | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
simply because it is convenient? The figures do not tell us. People | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
making repeat visits are just one small part of the workload of busy | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
A departments like this. Because emergency departments around the UK | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
are so hard-pressed, there is growing interest in understanding | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
who is going through the doors and why and whether they can be better | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
treated somewhere else. Emergency departments feel as though they pick | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
up the pieces when other services are closed. We know A is running | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
very hot, it is under pressure. Any extra demand that does not need to | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
be in there is a problem. A problem the NHS in every part of the UK is | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
trying to tackle. If you want to see how your local | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
A is coping you can visit this website to track weekly data on all | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
of the major emergency departments in England. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Sales of new cars have risen to their highest level in six years, | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
according to new figures. Two million vehicles were registered | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
last year making the UK Europe's second largest car market. Industry | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
analysts says cheap credit deals and stronger consumer confidence have | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
helped to push sales. Our Industry Correspondent, Jon Moylan reports. | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
New Year, time for a new car? In a North London dealership today, this | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
man thinks so. How are you looking to fund the vehicle? I am looking | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
for 0% finance. There is plenty of cheap finance around, it is a key | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
factor that has been driving sales. 2013 was a bumper year for the car | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
industry. New car registrations hit 2.6 million, the best performance | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
since before the downturn and it was a 10.8% rise on the previous year. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Rising consumer confidence and the windfall pay-outs for insurance | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
mis-selling have played a part, helping sales in the UK rise while | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
much of Europe has fallen. The European market is in its worst | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
state for 20 years and it reflects the broader crisis in the Eurozone | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
and austerity policies being pursued across Europe. Sales in UK are | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
driven by confidence. Is all this cheap finance storing up problems | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
for the future? Three quarters of cars sold to private buyers last | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
year were sold on credit. But according to the chairman of | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
Vauxhall, times have changed. There is the access to the finance, which | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
is tighter and more stringent than in the days when the economy got | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
into trouble. I don't think there is any danger we will repeat those | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
mistakes of the past. Do all of these sales help British industry or | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
just support factories overseas? The Vauxhall Astra is built here, just | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
one in seven cars sold here last year were made in the UK. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Wearable technology seems to be the latest must-have gadget being pushed | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
at the world's biggest consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Technology giants like Google and Samsung use the event to showcase | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
their latest innovations and our Technology Correspondent, Rory | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
Cellan-Jones is there. The doors have just opens, thousands | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
pouring in. They come to see the latest products launched right back | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
to the video cassette recorder, 3-D television and now | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
ultra-high-definition television, with big, curved screens. And they | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
come to see wearable technology. This year's the trend is about | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
gadgets and you can wear. Las Vegas in January, and the race | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
is on to spot new gadgets that could change our lives. These people have | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
gathered for a wearable technology 1-run, from wrist hands and smart | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
watches, to Google's Web connected glasses and a smart web and that | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
measures your pulse. They are wearing devices that records your | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
activity and shares it with the world. There is hype around wearable | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
technology, whether it comes to fruition, we will wait to see. But | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
there will be hundreds of companies here in Vegas hoping this is the | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
next thing in consumer technology. Wearable technology is big in Vegas | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
this year, but will it go beyond the fitness fanatics determined to log | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
their every move? One of the new products made breakthrough from the | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
pack, but there is plenty of competition. Absent launch these | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
augmented reality glasses which allow you to watch HD movies or | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
receive information. Technology giants, Samsung unveiled a huge | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
television, whose main attraction is its curved screen. And there was a | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
curved smartphone. Away from the glitz and glamour at a bargain | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
basement motel, a tiny British firm was preparing its assault on Las | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Vegas with a 3D printing. This is -- is a huge deal. It is the first time | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
the robot has been seen by anyone apart from on a website. We are keen | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
to show the public and everybody what we can do, what robots can do | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
and how it makes 3D printing simple for everybody. This is another | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
technology big in Las Vegas this year, unmanned aerial vehicles, aka | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
drones. There are new commercial uses for them. Amazon said they want | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
to use drones to deliver parcels, but other uses may be more | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
realistic. There are a lot of uses for agriculture, monitoring crops. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Also search and rescue. If you are able to throw something up in the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
quickly without having to get a fully manned out there. Las Vegas is | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
the place to see the big picture of what is new in technology. Not all | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
of the bright ideas hatched here will take off. | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
I am wearing a few of these gadgets. This smart head and measuring my | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
heart rate. A couple of monitors on my wrist, measuring my activity and | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
a wearable camera. But be honest with me, George, does this make me | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
look cool? I went and saw that! Now time for a | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
look at we have had some more stormy | :26:49. | :26:57. | |
weather. But we hope for drier weather tomorrow, but not until we | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
have seen more rain in the form of showers overnight. Distinct rain | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
coming as well. Let me show you what we're watching the satellite picked | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
Jack. One is tonight's weather here, and tonight is tonight. It looks as | :27:15. | :27:25. | |
if we could have some impact, ten to 15 millimetres of rain across south | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
eastern areas. Not good news here. Numerous flood warnings out across | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
the UK. Could the icy patches around. Fewer showers by the end of | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
the night in southern areas. On the whole tomorrow, fewer showers, | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
lighter winds and the showers will not be as heavy or as frequent. | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
Until later in the day when this arrives off the Atlantic, it looks | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
like quite a decent day. Relatively mild at nine to 11 Celsius. Not | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
totally dry because there are some showers around. Northern Ireland and | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
much of Scotland will stay clear of that next rain band coming in. But | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
there are some showers in the North. This role the Atlantic and it will | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
wind up the wind as well as the rain. Potentially 20 to 30 | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
millimetres over the hills in the West. It does look a bit quieter as | :28:27. | :28:34. | |
we head towards the end of the week. Particularly into the weekend, | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
perhaps 48 hours of drier weather for many of us. But between now | :28:40. | :28:41. |
