cornwall is known for its fish, its stunning views and its tourism.ways been that way. for most of its modern historical life, cornwall has been a centre for mining. silver, tin and copper were all pulled out of the ground to support the expanding british empire. at one point in the early 19th century, this was the greatest copper—producing region in the world. but, as globalisation took hold, cornish mining became too expensive to compete internationally and so, the mines were closed. but all that is changing. traces of an element discovered in cornwall in the 19th century have suddenly become rather important. this is lithium mica granite, and the important word there is ‘lithium'. as in the lithium ion batteries in your phone, in your computer and your electric car. and some think that cornwall may be the best place in europe to supply it. there is lithium in the czech republic, but the boss of one company realised that the rock here in cornwall was made of the same stuff. we followed it up with a field trip and the first rock that andrew picked up

only cornwall, the isle of wight and isles of scilly are in tier 1.ire and kent out of that tier, as only some local areas had high levels of infection, but they failed. london, like most of england, will be in tier 2, and liverpool, which piloted mass rapid testing has moved down from tier 3 before lockdown to 2 now. we are now expanding this community testing programme even further. to launch a major community testing programme honing in on the areas with the greatest rate of infection. this programme is open to all local authorities in tier 3 areas in the first instance and offers help to get out of the toughest restrictions as fast as possible. covid hasn't simply posed a health and economic challenge to the prime minster, but a political one, too. mps get to vote on the new tier system in england next week and some of mps are worried about how long some of the restrictions may at —— boris johnson's own mps. if we are going to have regular reviews, that's fine, was it really the position that the pm imposes from downing street restrictions on comm

we'll also see some rain arriving across cornwall and devon, too, the first of a series of weather fronts, but certainly stronger than they have been of late. so it will be a milder day across southern areas, 14—16 degrees. another chilly one further north. now, through saturday night, looks like it'll be chilly and dry to start with across northern areas, where that band of rain spreads its way northwards. and by the end of the night, it'll be lying across northern ireland, wales, the midlands and into the south east. here, it will be milder because of the rain. fairly chilly in the north for a while, but those temperatures will start to rise as we move into sunday morning. that band of rain moves northwards across the country on sunday, and this next one will arrive later on sunday into monday. so, it'll be much a cloudier day across the country. that band of rain across central and northern areas will push into scotland, turning lighter and patchier. behind it, we could start to see some sunshine developing across northern ireland, wales and the south west. but here, it will be breezie

tiers two and three when no household mincing will be allowed indoors. 0nly cornwall, the isles of whitehe isles of scilly will be placed under looser restrictions in tia one or medium risk, less than 2% of the population. defending the new measures the cabinet office minister michael gove has said the previous tiers weren't effective enough, and tighter restrictions were grimly, inevitably necessary. writing in the times he wants the level of infection is still threateningly high and the pressure on hospitals is severe. it comes as the number of people in hospital with covid—i9, in four nhs regions of england, retired totals this month than during the first peak of the pandemic. labour has not yet decided if it will support the new measures, warns that changes to economic support for businesses will leave local authorities stretched to breaking point trying to help. meanwhile there is some extra advice for the christmas period, when the rules will be relaxed. and scientists say people should consider meeting our doors where possible, children should share bedrooms with their pa rents of

there was some sunshine across parts of south wales, south—west england, particularly here in cornwallare going to find the fog developing and becoming thicker as well. mind you, it's pretty misty and murky elsewhere. cold still in the north—east of scotland. temperatures will rise in scotland as the wind picks up, the cloud thickens, and this rain gets blown in all the way down into northern ireland and northern england by the end of the night, by which time temperatures further south will be around 5 or 6 degrees. what's happening tomorrow is that the high pressure that's brought all the mist and fog is getting pushed away by these weak weather fronts moving down from the north—west. so the fog lifts in the south—west of the uk. still misty and murky for a while, and a lot of cloud. probably not much rain, though, across southern parts of the uk. it's very patchy rain this — most of it over the hills of wales and north—west england. and then, after the rain, we get some sunshine through the afternoon in scotland. temperatures for the most part, 9 or 10 degrees. the air gets a bit coo

and some think that cornwall may be the best place in europe to supply it.so the mine we're proposing will produce about a third of the total lithium requirement to the uk, should the whole industry transform to an electric one from internal combustion. and the quarry will be quite modest — much smaller than this, actually. most of the development is a refinery. there are obvious advantages of a country making its own products, rather than importing them. but there's actually another very important reason why batteries specifically need to be home—grown. lithium batteries are very bulky. they're heavy and a dangerous good to transport. a model s tesla has half a ton of battery in it, so it's a major component of the car. so battery makers co locate with electric vehicle makers. you picture a tesla factory — they've got chemicals and metals going on one end and cars driving out the other. now, if we want to have an electric car industry in the uk, we have to have a battery industry here. so what things can we do to attract a lithium battery industry in the uk

this has been the story so far, it has been drifting out of cornwall, up through wales, into the westh. now, it will weaken off, as well, as it does so. so, a band of light, patchy rain continuing to drift northwards. quite a lot of cloud generally across england and wales. the best of the sunshine, northern ireland and much of scotland, through the afternoon. but here it won't be quite as warm after that cold start, temperatures are likely to peak at around 5—7. further south, we could see double digits, 11—13 the expected high. as we move out of saturday to the early hours of sunday morning, that cloud continues to drift its way steadily north. acting like a blanket, which is very nice indeed, thank you, but we could see those clear skies lingering in the far north—east of scotland. in sheltered rural glens, we could once again have a touch of frost. but temperatures were rightly holding up at around 5—7 first thing. but again, it is another grey, drab, dreary start to the day, and it is likely to linger throughout the whole of sunday. so, the best of the brightness perhaps to the f

from the fields of lexington, concord, from the hills of san juan, to the cornwall valley, more thanllion brave men and women have donned the army uniform to fight for freedom at home and abroad. while they hail from different backgrounds or races, religious and -- religions and creed, they have one thing in common -- to support and defend the constitution and uphold the core values of the united states army. for more than 240 years, they made innumerable contributions to our nation and the world. not just in combat, but disaster relief and other vital missions. their feet are enshrined throughout this museum. moreover, many paid the ultimate price for the blessings of liberty we enjoy today. it is our responsibility to preserve their sacred memory and honor their heroic deeds. that is precisely what this museum does and why it's so important and for all to see. i can't wait to bring my family here. the exhibits promoted deeper understanding of the army's achievement and underline the hard learned lessons of war and why we must continue to adapt and lead. the personal narratives wove
