sir david attenborough, many thanks indeed. let's go before the pterodactyls come! has the weather. we are popular when the weather is like this and a bank holiday as well. glorious for most of us, sunny skies unbroken sunshine on parts of england and wales, reaching close to mid—20s celsius in a few places, but it has not been the same everywhere. irish seacoast and western scotland have low clouds and it felt cold. high pressure is dominating factor for most of the country, these weather friends continue to bring outbreaks of rain, and northwest coat —— corner of scotland, it'll continue to plague parts of northwest ireland, and into western scotla nd northwest ireland, and into western scotland during the overnight period, but the breeze she'd eased down. continue to see cloud air, elsewhere quite chilly across rural eastern areas, but is —— sunday's glorious, probably disappointing across the beaches, but towards western northwest of scotland, more cloud here and outbreaks of rain for the northern isles, the elsewhere looking glorious, temperatures load mid—20s,

sir david attenborough there i think we all associate with nature.ing so it has been a labour of love for an enormous amount of people and it is the complexity of this building that has made it such an important project. in this building alone 69,000 individual elements had to be removed and carefully catalogued and put back because this is an old building and everything moves and it has to be very precise. the project has to be very precise. the project has been about improving the growing conditions for the pan so we have been very careful about building in some new 21st—century technology to make sure you have good ventilation and later these plans. think about the difficulty of 155—year—old building and trying to bring these sustainability and light technologies into which it has been complex. the blood is absolutely spectacular today especially in the sunshine that we are lucky to have beaming through this. such a huge project. now fully restored, how important is this building in terms ofan important is this building in terms of an icon for bri

i think as much as the bbc, it also partly down to david attenborough and blue planners.od is being done. —— planet. it is good that we have a shift in policy is, we have a population who will be quite happy paying for attacks on paper cups or plastic bottles and things like that because they do really take it seriously at the moment. plastic is one of those stories read is going to keep seeing again and again this year. that's right, i was worried the daily mail was going to forget about the royal family but they have got a pull—out on the queen and philip. | got a pull—out on the queen and philip. i want to know more about meghan markle's father. sorry, we have not delved into that and the paparazzi enough tonight for you, john. we will let you go and read up on it. we'll take it to the daily express, we are going to speed up the top to one of the inside pages. a man the top to one of the inside pages. amana the top to one of the inside pages. a man a lot of people may not have heard of, who has got a lot of money stop work well, he is top of the rich list for the uk an

penone is like the david attenborough of art.e spends his life observing nature to make work that heightens our awareness of its beauty and power. the tree, he says, is the perfect sculpture, because it balances the weight of life as all living things must do, with a poetic fluidity. a tree is between two worlds. the underground and the upper. so i have done this piece that is horizontal and in this point there was a branch, and i cut the branch. i put clay and i have done the print of my hand. is this comment on the tree of life? if you want, it is possible! it is possible. who the better sculptor, nature or you? i don't know. the better sculptor is nature but i am happy. i suppose the answer is to come along and judge for yourself, nature's wood or giuseppe penone‘s bronzes. will gompertz, bbc news, the yorkshire sculpture park. that's it. newsnight is on bbc two in a moment. but now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, the headlin

sir david attenborough has been sharing his views on plastic, brexit and tv fakery. because we shall always be overwhelmed with plastic. but, at the moment, we are using plastic in a completely functionless way. i mean, it baffles me. people send me letters, and if they think they are important, they put them in a plastic envelope. and then put that in another envelope. why? i can't understand. i mean, it makes them look, i suppose, precious or something. but it's quite functionless. and we use plastic, or have done until now, with total abandon, without any care or concern about where it's going to go or what it might do. if we can pull ourselves together and recognise that, actually, it is a major danger, particularly in the sea, we are stepping in the right direction. an awful lot of people now are working on ways in which you can deal with plastic waste. one of the problems is, of course, is that plastic is notjust plastic, there are lots of different kinds of plastics, chemically. what works for one kind of plastic is not necessarily working for another. those a

sir david attenborough, many thanks indeed. let's go before the pterodactyls come! madeline miller did it first with achilles, now she tells the story of the great sorceress and enchantress, circe, who leads us through many of the great stories of mythology, behaving badly — like she so often did — but at the same time emerging as a figure with human qualities, including of course vulnerability. who will win many readers‘ sympathy because she is an individual trying to make sense of a very troubled world. welcome. what is the trick in humanising an immortal nymph like circe? well, i think i've always found that these ancient myths really resonate with un—human nature in that they are very timeless in what they are looking at, and i absolutely felt that as i was approaching circe. here she is, yes, she's a goddess, yes, she is a nymph, but she lives in a world where she is the pawn of much more powerful people than herself and she's on the receiving end. she doesn't have a lot of control, initially, over what she can do with her life and where she can go, and i think
