to many. our thoughts are with the other families who have lost their family members due to this terrible attack. this is the horrifying attack that change their lives. a pick—up truck rammed into a new year's crowds in new orleans at speed. the drive right named by the fbi was shot —— the driver named by the fbi was shot dead by police and an islamic state flag was found in a vehicle. he was a us army battery cut right to end. with the former partner of a man who was also killed pay tribute. it of a man who was also killed pay tribute-— pay tribute. it was devastating, - pay tribute. it was devastating, this | pay tribute. it was i devastating, this was pay tribute. it was - devastating, this was my child's's father and my son is 11 years old. it was devastating to see what summer were due to other people and they do not deserve it. the olice they do not deserve it. the police said _ they do not deserve it. the police said family - they do not deserve it. the police said family liaison officers were helping edward

pettifer�*s family of the process of attaining his family to the uk —— his body to the uk. the met office says large parts of the uk could face disruption from heavy snow and freezing rain this weekend. it has issued two amber weather warnings, predicting some areas could see up to a0 centimetres of snow and temperatures as low as minus ten celsius. the weather could lead to treacherous driving conditions, power cuts, and even some rural areas being cut off. joe inwood reports. the conditions much of the uk are braced for have already hit parts of wales. snow and ice can bring rural areas to a standstill if you're not prepared. here in ceredigion, they're doing what they can. you have to look at the staffing levels to make sure that there are sufficient numbers of staff available to come in and make sure that the lorries go out there. and then in terms of making sure that the rock salt is put on the road network that we have in place for ceredigion. the road network is vital to a lot of users.

if it's health service, if it's mainstream users, we need to make sure that, you know, we have procedures in place. it's a picture being repeated across the uk this weekend. a yellow warning for ice is in place for large parts of the country, with an amber warning for snow and ice coming in from 6pm. a yellow warning for snow covering most of scotland then comes in at midnight tomorrow until monday afternoon. while the snow is still on the horizon for many, the bitter cold is already here. it's a worrying time for care agencies who cover rural areas. many of those they look after, including pensioners who have lost their winter fuel payments, are not properly heating their homes. we have had clients who have been afraid to put on their heating because they can't afford to pay the bills. and if they're not warm, then we have to try and encourage them to put on the heating over this period. and if not, if they have hot water bottles, we will have

to check the hot water bottles very carefully. are you sure you're ok? but it's notjust those who are housebound who suffer in this weather. ok, everybody, come on in. at the eastbourne salvation army, they've opened their doors to the homeless, providing beds and a hot meal. it's good to see you. but it's not every night. it's just when the temperature gets too low. and it really is physically so cold that we just want them to come in. we'd like to do it more, but financially we can't do it as many... so we just do it as much as we can. for those taking shelter here, it is a literal lifeline. so without this place, probably i would be frozen right now. so without some support where you can actually maybe wash your clothes or like, i don't know, take a shower or eat something, there is no way you are going to survive for long. the advice, as the temperatures drop, is to stay inside, only travel if necessary, and look out for those who

can't look out for themselves. joe inwood, bbc news. let's speak to our news reporter sharon barbour who's in york. sharon, what is the picture where you are? it is getting colder already, around three degrees in york. i left newcastle a short while ago where it was one degree. you can feel the air is getting much colder and we are standing around which make things worse. we are at high speed train station and there are warnings about travel, particularly on the roads where conditions may be where each actuation as that heavy snow comes in overnight, particularly over the pennines where we have been hearing up to 40 where we have been hearing up to a0 centimetres of snow —— my conditions may be touch or wish —— conditions may be treacherous. we have been hearing about freezing rain on roads so as soon as rain hit

services on roads and pavements, it freezes over. they are already problems with northern trains and chance pennines, warnings about ice on the track so check before you travel and hear advice with this complex weather situation hitting different parts of the uk with either rain, heavy snow or that freezing rain on the ground, but i was right across the uk. the advice is to stay indoors if you can, to keep warm and real warnings about that cold weather, the uk health security agency has issued that safety alert. that issued that safety alert. that is an alarm for people to keep warm, especially vulnerable people. thousands of people die in these cold temperatures, so thatis in these cold temperatures, so that is one a warning. ace uk are also asked that also asking people to do everything you can to stay warm, especially older

people, to stay warm. the emergency services, the greatest, everybody is waiting themselves on standby to react to what this strange and cold weather. it is much that strange, because it is winter, but it does seem quite extreme, the levels of snow, basically expected in northern parts. everybody is bracing themselves but emergency services like emergency services are under extreme pressure. yorkshire ambulance service is operating as the highest level and is ambulance a service is also at its height operation allows level so they are already under significant pressure. if there are a of accidents, falls, illnesses, it is going to be a really difficult time.- illnesses, it is going to be a really difficult time. 0k, many thanks. really difficult time. 0k, many thanrs- just — really difficult time. 0k, many thanks. just let _ really difficult time. 0k, many thanks. just let you _ really difficult time. 0k, many thanks. just let you know - thanks. just let you know british airways is saying that it has had to make was small number of adjustments to due to

petition, nonetheless they set a higher standard of integrity, and decency and respect for the rule of law and injimmy carter's case, a lover of peace, i think you most want to do remembered as a peacemaker. and writing aboutjimmy carter, what are the stories that you found out about and that you most record today?— found out about and that you most record today? there are so many stories _ most record today? there are so many stories to _ most record today? there are so many stories to tell. _ most record today? there are so many stories to tell. he - most record today? there are so many stories to tell. he led - most record today? there are so many stories to tell. he led an i many stories to tell. he led an epic american life. the farmhouse that you will see in a few minutes at the timejimmy carter was living there as a boy, it had no running water or electricity so he might as well have been born in the 19th century. of course, he was involved in all of the imported

movement of the 20th century and he was governor and president and he was on the cutting—edge of everything a zist cutting—edge of everything a 21st century whether it was global health, a eradicating diseases, peacemaking or democracy promotion. he travelled to more than 100 countries monitoring their elections. i had many personal memories of him working on a bill site in memphis, tennessee, building a house with jimmy tennessee, building a house withjimmy carter tennessee, building a house with jimmy carter with tennessee, building a house withjimmy carter with habitat for humanity and iran remember him teaching me how to how much better —— — and i remember him teaching me how to have a better. as we surprise to learn how he was the first leader of the world who talked about global warming in 1980 and he

hopes to have electric cars on the road by the mid—19 80s if he had been re—elected as president which, as we know, he was not. there was a vision there and even though, he was a political failure, there and even though, he was a politi
