scientists in bristol have produced a detailed future flood map of britain, simulating the impacts of flooding as climate change takes its toll. the study showed that every part of mainland britain will be affected differently, with some areas much more vulnerable than others to flood damage. here's our science correspondent, victoria gill. as water trickles through this woodland, a team of local volunteers are getting to work. what trying to do is diverted into the woodland.— into the woodland. katie's nearby home _ into the woodland. katie's nearby home has - into the woodland. katie's nearby home has been - into the woodland. katie's - nearby home has been flooded in the past because in this steep sided valley, heavy rain can swell the river very quickly. how bad this flooding get in this area?— this area? it... it is catastrophic. - this area? it... it is catastrophic. it - this area? it... it is catastrophic. it is l this area? it... it is - catastrophic. it is incredibly fast, it is a wave of destruction. it is physically and mentally hard for people

there was a fantastic start of the game. we came out fine with very good intensity, created several opportunities and we should have scored more. i think the first half, especially the start was good and seems likely backed off a little bit too much but i don't think we gave anything away. in the second half we started very well again. we came up with the same intensity as in the first half and with a bit of pressure we did well. the uefa champions league moves into the last 16 second leg matches later on tuesday with chelsea hosting borussia dortmund. the german's lead the tie 1—0 with chelsea manager graham potter under increasing pressure, despite saturday's premier league win over leeds united. on—loan forward joao felix doesn't appear fazed by it though. there is little pressure. i think it is ourjob, wejust have to enjoy, win the games,

but yes, our levels of confidence and attention are high stop you have to win stop we will enjoy and if we do the things right, we will win. while elsewhere benfica take a 2—0 lead into their second leg tie at home to belgian's club brugge. the two—time former european champions are bidding to reach the quarterfinals for a fourth time in 12 seasons. we have to support each other like we did in the first match in brugge. that was a kid to win. we have to believe ourselves and wing attacks are we ready to play an intensive game against them. and we want to show good football and qualify for the quarterfinal. now to cycling and mads pedersen will take the race leaders' yellowjersey into the third stage of the paris—nice later. there was a crash approaching the final kilometre

business stories including france pressing itself a pension reform, strikes, lots of detailed analysis on my belt speak to a leading economist in paris next. hello there. the weather on thursday into friday could be very interesting. more on that later on. but we're going to find a bit more snow across more of the country in the next few days. so far, most of it has been falling across northern scotland and the snow is continuing to pile up here. cold start to tuesday, icy conditions as well. temperatures not quite so low further south where we've got more cloud. we are continuing to see mostly rain but there could be a little bit of sleet and snow in there as well. it does tend to peter out a little bit more through the day. there will be a few wintry showers though developing further north as you continue northwards. we are seeing some sunshine, that snow continuing to push into northern scotland on a chilly wind all

the way from the arctic. wherever you are, whether you've got the sunshine in the north or the cloud in the south, it's going to be a cold day, temperatures about 4, 5 degrees. we are seeing this weather front sliding slowly in from the atlantic and those fronts really mark this battleground between the milder atlantic air that stays just to the south of the uk, and the colder arctic air that's really going to be more dominant. and overnight tuesday night, those temperatures will fall away very quickly, where we have the clearer skies and over the snowfields in scotland it could be —10. widespread frost to start the day on wednesday. and maybe some more snow falling across southern parts of england and south wales, a couple of centimetres in places. again, it may die out, but we will see some wetter, windy weather in the southwest later. more snow over the moors. northern scotland, northern ireland seeing fewer showers, probably more sunshine on wednesday. but it's going to be another cold day after that frosty start. then things get very interesting through thursday and perhaps into friday as well. the risk of this disruptive snow is moving further north. there could be some quite heavy falls of snow in places as well.

the reason for all that is this area of low pressure. that's going to be deepening and it's going to push these weather fronts further north into that colder air. any snow that does fall across some southern parts of england and wales should turn back to rain as it gets milder here, a bit windier too, but we've got that wedge of colder air further north so we're going to find a longer spell of snow, particularly falling across northern ireland and northern parts of england. and we will see that snow moving its way northwards eventually into parts of scotland. it's over the hills of scotland and the northern pennines, we could get some heavy falls of snow, widely in that area though, 5cm to 10cm.
