to get some fish introduced to them, and try and get them eating fish on their own as quickly as possible. being a seal pup is tough. they only stay with their mothers for three weeks after birth and at that point should weigh more than 30 kilos. all the patients here are underweight and struggled to fend for themselves in the winter seas. they have to fight against swell. they become malnourished, dehydrated, bashed up against rocks. and then we have things like entanglement issues with things like ghost fishing nets, which can cause a huge hazard to these animals. and this is an example of that abandoned fishing gear — ghost gear, as it's known. 11 metres long and obviously hazardous. this is actually the largest piece of net we've taken off a live seal. and the seal had managed to get its head through there, but luckily it was found before any real damage had been done. this pup only weighs 13 kilos.
1:31 pm
remember, three weeks old, once they've left their mother, they should be something like 30 or a0 kilos. you can tell that he's undernourished because of the folds in his skin. if he was up to weight, he'd look like a blimp. but as you can see, he really is underfed. this is already a record year for rescues and welfare centres are full. so the best thing for pups is for them to be fit, fat and happily fishing in the sea. john maguire, bbc news, cornwall. fit and that sounds great, doesn't it? time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. we've had some snow. some beautiful pictures from weather watcherss,
1:32 pm
this is from wakefield, heavy snowfall, in sheffield, in these parts of the world we tend to get some snow during the winter months. for most of us it's been raining and it's been heavy rain as well, i really dismal picture. on the radar, you can see the white and grey colours, that's where it's been snowing. the snow will remain mostly across the hills. it's quite wet and slushy where it tends to fall. some travel disruption but also from the rain in the south. i'm going to focus on the amber warning in force from the met office across northern wales through this afternoon it's valid into this evening across the pennines, some of the high routes there, and by the time the weather front is through we will have possibly on one or two macros but had up to 25 centimetres of snow. for most it's less than that. through the course of this afternoon the wintry weather transfers into the wintry weather transfers into the pennines and nudges into southern scotland, some in northern ireland. it's clear and cold in the north but south of that weather front look how mild it is in london, 12 degrees, but by the time you get
1:33 pm
to the midlands at single figures. the next band of rain could bring 45 millimetres of rain so some flash flooding possible through the course of the night, the band of rain will move northwards. so some big temperature contrasts across the uk. lots of weather fronts coming through, some bringing rain, some sleet, some snow, this is what's happening into friday as well with the weather front way to the north now, so i think as farther as wintry weather is concerned the emphasis will be on this more north—eastern portion of the uk for friday, i think parts of grampian could fetch a fair amount think parts of grampian could fetch a fairamount of think parts of grampian could fetch a fair amount of snow into friday. but look at that, south of that its above—average temperatures so the fall really setting in and through friday evening into the early hours of saturday it's more or less the same, so wintry weather in the north, much milder in the south. saturday, the same low pressure that's more or less bringing as the unsettled weather is still with us
1:34 pm
and round it circling weather fronts bring spells of rain but also some sunshine, so how about the outlook? is it going to be cold, is it going to be mild? at the moment it looks as though things will stay on the mild side, the mail that led wins and by tuesday hopefully may be high pressure building things settling down but i think it relatively mild. thanks, tomasz. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello. welcome along to sportsday on bbc news. i'm ben croucher. coming up... ready for a new challenge. we hear from jesse lingard as he moves to the korean top flight. he could have stayed if he wanted. the uefa president is to step down.
