this is a stunning find, because, first of all, it's so close to home, it'sjust across the bristol channeley had trunks which were made out of little strands of wood alljoined together and it's sort of like an internal eiffel tower. they might have looked a little bit like palm trees. this type of vegetation lasted for about 5 million years and it really set the tone and tempo for the evolution of both plant life on land and/or animals living on the land. it also just fills in a massive gap in our understanding british vegetational history. we don't have these types of plants anywhere else in britain at this time. an extraordinary find. oppenheimer — the film about the creator of the atomic bomb — is up for 13 academy awards this weekend at the oscars. it tells the story of the manhattan project during the second world war, when, just over this ridge in new mexico, scientists built the atomic bomb which was later used onjapan. but as emma vardy reports, the production of nuclear weapons there continues to divide opinion, and some communities say they ve suffered decades of health effects b

as a result of rising tides, this is from the atlantic ocean which moves into the bristol channel so spend time riding the waves. doesn't that look like fun? stay with us and bbc news. hello again. today's turning out to be fairly cloudy and also wet, the heaviest rain across england and wales, and that will be quite slow to clear. and as we go through this week, although it's turning milder, there will be spells of rain. now, if we take a look at the rainfall accumulation chart, you can see the key is here. we've got a lot of dark blues in the chart, meaning 20 to 30 millimetres of rainfall. but locally we've got the bright greens, which is even more than that, and it's falling an already saturated ground, exacerbating the risk of localised flooding. so a lot of cloud on the cards today. for most of us it's been producing some rain. but even as the rain pushes steadily eastwards behind it will have a legacy of cloud, murky, dank conditions, hill and coastal mist and fog. the brightest skies with some sunshine will be across the far north of scotland. temperature wise, seven in lerwi
