plan is's history. exactly how it came about has long been a mystery. but, a small group of scottish islands may have given is the key to understanding it. in the west of scotland, they offer the best geological records of the earth. the findings could open the door to a better understanding of what had happened, and how it laid the groundwork for animal life to evolve here. ourscience groundwork for animal life to evolve here. our science correspondence has more. these tiny islands in the inner hebrides of scotland hold the key to how the first animal life emerged on earth hundreds of millions of years ago. each layer of this rock face in the garvellachs captures a snapshot of the planet's distant past. scientists have now dated fragments of the rock and shown them to be from the only place in the world to have a detailed
2:52 pm
record of how our planet plunged into the most severe and prolonged ice age in our history. these tiny grains prove beyond any doubt that the garvellachs are the best and most complete record of a critical period in our history called snowball earth, when for 80 million years, pretty much the entire planet was covered with ice. if we wind back the calendar hundreds of millions of years, we see that scotland was in a completely different place because the continents have moved over time. it was south of the earth's equator and had a tropical climate until it and the rest of the planet became engulfed in ice. but then something remarkable happened. after the melting of the snowball, we suddenly start to get bona fide a modern looking animals. it seems counterintuitive that such a big freeze that could have prevented life was actually the spur to generate this explosion of life.

after the snow ball melted. of course, everything that had adapted to that and diversified in those in those specialist niches would have had to then compete with each other in some kind of arms race. geologists have been studying the rocks on the garvellachs for decades, first on foot, using the only building on the island as a base, and more recently, using drones to create detailed, computer enhanced images of the rock layers. if the results are confirmed, these islands could be awarded a golden spike. that's an actual spike hammered in to celebrate the location of a planet changing geological moment. scotland can get the golden spike. the chance is very high, based on the formation presented. a great example. excellent example of the potential candidates of the golden spike. the researchers will find out next

year whether they and scotland have won the golden spike. pallab ghosh, bbc news. finally, this hour, a rarely seen deep sea fish has been found in california. scientists want to understand why. the silvery, 3.6 metre long orfish, which looks understand why. the silvery, 3.6 metre long or fish, which looks a bit like a snake, serpent, was found floating dead on the ocean surface. of the san diego coast, this is the 20th time that has been known to wash up in california since 1901. experts are now studying the fish to try to understand why it came to the service, when it normally lives in the depart of the ocean where light can't reach. we also need to know what that means for the health of the oceans. lucy gray will be here

much, perhaps 18 or 19 at the best in scotland and northern ireland, i submit 20s in the south—east of england. as we head into monday, it starts to change a bit particularly western areas. it will be falling here, with some weather fronts coming in from the atlantic. dry and sunny most areas on monday morning. it is up to the west by the winds pick up, especially in the south—west, including the irish sea. get some rain and it might get wet in northern ireland and western scotland during the afternoon but ahead of that, the midlands should have a dry and warm day with some sunshine.
