2:49 pm
victoria gill reports. a land continuously carved and moulded by vast glaciers. but in one fjord in the east of greenland, a seismic event has transformed the landscape here forever. we're seeing here a simulation of how this seismic signal travelled around the world. when we run this, we'll start to see this wave. this animation shows the signal that baffled scientists for nine days in september of last year. the dots are seismic monitors around the world, picking up vibrations from something happening in greenland. at the same time that scientists were puzzling over that, a team working in greenland received a report of a large tsunami in the east of the country. these photographs show what caused it — a huge landslide into this fjord. look at the mountain top in this image. taken before the event. and look at it afterwards — the top of the mountain is gone, collapsed into the fjord, taking part of the glacier with it. the scientists analysed the depth and shape of this narrow, 200km—long fjord,
2:50 pm
and that revealed why the tsunami the landslide caused reverberated around the world for so long. the wave was essentially trapped. the energy of that wave just can't escape, so that wave has tojust keep bouncing back and forth, sloshing back and forth in the fjord. itjust can't go anywhere. never before has such a long duration large—scale movement of water — over nine days, in this case — been observed. remote as it is, this is a location that cruise ships do visit — fortunately, no vessels were in the area when the landslide happened — but scientists say the risk of these events is increasing with climate change. this glacier was holding up the mountain. over decades, it melted and thinned, and eventually millions of cubic metres of rock simply collapsed. it's a destructive side effect of climate change that was felt around the world. victoria gill, bbc news. two men have been charged with burglary after a painting by banksy was stolen from a gallery in central london at the weekend. police say the painting,
2:51 pm
girl with balloon, has been recovered and returned to the gallery. with more, here's nickjohnson. banging. a gallery in central london on sunday night. nearly £2 million worth of banksy artwork on display, but it only takes about 30 seconds before someone makes off with one of the artist's most iconic prints. this is the banksy exhibition in full swing. the girl with balloon taking pride of place. the original was partially shredded after going under the hammerfor more than £1 million in 2018. just over two weeks after girl with balloon arrived at the grove gallery here in central london, it had been taken. someone came and smashed the glass here, came into the gallery and removed the picture from its space here on the wall. all the other banksys in the gallery have since been removed and moved to storage for safekeeping. butjust days after the theft, girl with balloon had been recovered by the police and is now back safely
2:52 pm
here in the gallery. wrapped in an evidence bag, the print, which was once voted the nation's favourite artwork, was returned by the police yesterday — much to the delight of the gallery owner who discovered the theft. this is it, so here we have 72 out of 150, which is a limited edition, signed print by the artist himself. really iconic piece. very much in demand and, of course, now, with the robbery and the police evidence that we have here, we've noticed some scuffs on the framework which is not great, but certainly adds to the story and dimensions of the artwork, that's for sure. and how did you feel when the police said, "hey, we've got it back," and then how did you feel when it returned to the gallery? so, that was remarkable. i mean, i could not believe my eyes. this was unbelievable. the metropolitan police have charged two men with burglary. 47—year—old larry fraser

from essex and 53—year—old james love from east london have both been bailed to appear at kingston crown court next month. banksy is renowned for anonymity and elusiveness, but has the artist been in touch with the gallery following the theft? my lips are sealed. nickjohnson, bbc news, at the grove gallery, in central london. taking impressive photographs of animals in the wild requires skill, patience and great timing — but doing it underwater makes the task even harder. the ocean photographer of the year competition captures the wonders of the deep sea, and highlights some of the challenges ahead. meghan owen reports. 15,000 photos whittled down to one. this was the winning entry of a nearly extinct bryde whale, feeding on a heart—shaped bait ball. a private performance given a larger stage at piccadilly circus. cheering and applause. the man who shot it said the whale came out of the blue.
2:54 pm
we were even thinking about getting out of the water because there was no action going on. but a huge bryde whale came out of nowhere and ate the whole thing, so it was an once—in—a—lifetime moment. it's a role that involves getting up close and personal. at the exact moment of the pictures, i free dived to maybe four metres deep and maybe i was four metres or three metres from the whale. that is the exact moment of the encounter. so is super close and my heart was beating so fast, to be with a huge animal that close. the runner—up, this image of a northern gannet, one of the largest seabirds in british waters, diving to catch its prey. and scooping up third place, an aerial shot of a fishing boat in hon yen, vietnam. a long tail of smoke perfectly aligning with the shape of the green nets below the surface. but these works of art often have a deeper meaning, recognised through the impact

award. with a single image, it can convey so much information but also, in particular, emotion, in a way that no presentation of facts can and it's that storytelling that makes us want to do what the science tells us we need to do. a show of our oceans' beauty and a reminder to conserve it through the lens of photography. meghan owen, bbc news. that's it from me. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. last night was unusually cold for this early in autumn, but it's not going to be as cold as that for some time to come, because the weather is changing. we're going to cut off the supply of cold arctic air and change the wind direction. in the next few days, we're going to have more of an atlantic wind, and that will bring with it some higher temperatures by day and night. may bring a little bit of rain, but there's not much of that
2:56 pm
around today at all. we're enjoying the sunshine and lighter winds. still a little on the chilly side. 1a or 15 scotland and northern ireland could make 17, possibly 18, in the south east of england with the sunshine. we'll cloud over in northern ireland later and we'll see a little rain this evening. most of the rain, though, will push its way eastwards overnight into scotland. the winds are picking up in the northwest. to the south we'll have some clearer skies, but where it's cloudy and it's also quite windy, it's going to be a lot milder than it was last night and even further south. temperatures won't be as low as last night, but could get as low as four or five in the southeast. but it'll warm up in the sunshine. on saturday we could see a bit of sunshine breaking through the cloud in scotland and northern ireland, but those strong winds will push more rain into the northwest during the afternoon, pushing some cloud into england and wales. but probably not too much of that and it's going to be a milder day on saturday. everywhere 17 or 18. scotland and northern ireland 19, maybe 20 for some eastern parts of england. now there is that weather
2:57 pm
front bringing that rain into the northwest, that's going to stumble and stutter its way southwards into england and wales on sunday. and this is where we start with this cloud and patchy rain. it should move away from northern england, but we could see some wetter weather coming back into wales, bringing a little rain into the midlands and the southwest. further north, the showers in northern scotland should move away. the winds won't be as strong. we'll have some sunshine still 17 or 18 degrees and we could make 20 celsius in the southeast of england, where it should stay dry until late in the day. and then we're going to find high pressure building in for the beginning of next week. that's going to steer all these weather fronts and areas of low pressure to the northwest of the uk. so the wetter, windier weather is going to be steered away from us. so there'll be a lot of dry weather into next week, maybe a bit of mist and fog in the morning, but the nights are not going to be particularly cold and it should also feel a little bit warmer by day.
