we will roll with it and you will be surprised what happens in five years' time. let's put this out. so we have to start. it's a big chunk of land of what is available. yeah. let's start a plantation over there. the land is there, the villages there, let's do it. fantastic, fantastic, let's do it, man.

each year has been a record—breaking hot year since we remember. so that's when i started looking at the bigger problem. these are a technique of making these large cones that could be 10—12 stories tall, could hold some 10 million litres of water in the winter and then because of its geometric shape it doesn't melt untiljune. and when it doesn't melt untiljune. and when it melts in those months it releases the water slowly so that trees could be planted in deserts, or it augments the flow of streams so that

farmers get a little more water in the crisis period. u pstrea m upstream where we put the pipe and downstream where we want the ice cone of the water wants to go to the same level as up and there is pressure which throws water into the -20 pressure which throws water into the —20 winter sky and then it freezes into a cone of ice.

are glaciers are melting notjust because of our actions, it is to do with the big cities of the world. new york, new delhi, beijing, paris. already we have lost 15% of our glaciers in the past ten years or so. by the end of the century, 70% of the glaciers will be gone. we gave a call to the world through movement called i live simply where
10:54 am
we say if please live simply in your big cities we might simply live. hello, there. it's been a very wet start to the day, not a great start to the weekend, of course, with storm antoni that's been moving its way in, giving us some strong winds and some heavy rain. that was the scene this morning in staffordshire. that rain is really quite nasty on the roads. so do take care if you're travelling today. this is storm antoni. it's moving its way gradually eastward. this big area of low pressure, look at the white lines here. the isobars quite close together towards wales and south western areas of england. that's where we're going to see the strongest winds today. and there's an amber warning from the met office. we could see some damaging gusts of wind of 50 to 70 miles an hour, particularly around coastal areas of south west wales, in towards devon as well.

so those could provide some pretty tricky conditions for those down in that part of the world, holidaying. now, the rain is going to gradually move its way eastward, but then there'll be some thunderstorms developing across southern and southeastern areas during this afternoon. showers likely across scotland, turning a little bit drier in northern ireland compared to this morning. and it will feel disappointingly cool for the time of year — 13, 14 celsius where you've got more persistent rain across the midlands, 15 to 16 celsius with some sunny spells across scotland. now storm antoni will continue to move eastward overnight and clear away. so sunday certainly looking like the quieter, brighter day for many of us. still a bit of rain affecting the far east of england early in the morning. some gusty winds as well, but that's going to ease off. and then there'll be some dry weather for many eastern areas, but showers developing across scotland, through the pennines, wales, northern ireland as well. some of those could be on the sharp side, but there will be some dry spells with some sunshine in between. and because there'll be more
10:56 am
sunshine through tomorrow, it will feel a bit warmer as well. those temperatures getting up to about 17 to 20 degrees celsius. on into the early part of next week, it stays unsettled. there'll be some showers, maybe longer spells of rain during tuesday and temperatures about 18, 19 degrees celsius. but if you're after something a little bit drier, more like summer, well, we have to wait until wednesday, thursday, where we start to see higher pressure having some influence on our weather, keeping the weather systems in the atlantic just at bay for a while. so later in the week, it will turn drier and brighter. temperatures will rise as well thursday into friday. so we could see those temperatures into the low to even the mid 20s. so something a bit more like summer. bye—bye.
