" and very little has happened. and yet suddenly within the last five years, maybe, suddenly it's as though people have woken up. and it's young people, really, young people who have shaken our consciences, and not before time. a p pa re ntly apparently he gave the boy is a prehistoric shark teeth as well. now for the weather. it has been really quite cold out there particularly if you have been stuck under the cloud as many of the eastern parts of the uk have been. 0ne eastern parts of the uk have been. one or two spots of rain but elsewhere you can see the extent of the clear skies, some sunshine, winds are light and it does

launched by sir david attenborough, people from all walks of life across the country were asked for theirimate change. leah, a student, and ibrahim, a gp, both took part. obviously we are a representation of the people and it's very important that the government listens because, as it's going now, climate change is a big issue and there's going to be big effects in my lifetime if we do nothing about it. there are also lots of little contributions that each person can do on a day—to—day basis, and i would like to think that everyone, as they look at this report, will say, "right, how can i as an individual improve my carbon emissions?" energy was also looked at, and offshore wind farms got the biggest backing. nuclear power, though, had much less support. experts say getting public insight is invaluable. the really exciting thing about this support is that it's not generated by a group of boffins in a room coming up with recommendations to government. this is real people dealing with real issues and coming up with practical suggestions. what's exciting is it doesn't look alarming. this loo

if you were watching yesterday you will have seen our exclusive interview with sir david attenboroughand there it was. and it was — you were the first person ever to see that. and it hadn't seen the sun for maybe 150 million years. think about that! hi, my name's elliott and i am six years old and i have a question. what is your favourite dinosaur? well, elliott, there was a huge animal that flew over the dinosaurs, as big as a small aeroplane, called quetzalcoatlus. and it had huge wings, just as big as an aeroplane. and it was the biggest animal that ever flew, and none of us could work out how it got off the ground, because how do you beat the wings? it's a mystery. hello, david. my name is anais and i'm three years old. what's your favourite animal? i don't really have a favourite animal, to be truthful. but there is a fish i am very fond of called — um, what's it called now? it's called the weedy sea dragon, and it lives in the seas off south australia and its fins look exactly like bits of seaweed. hi, my name is harry and i'm 11 years old and i want to work in zoology, but with

and reaction to sir david attenborough's new, stark warning about species extinction.s of more than six people are now illegal in england as the coronavirus "rule of six" comes into force. similar rules are in place in scotand, wales and northern ireland — with fines for those who refuse to comply — but there are key differences around the nations. in england and scotland, the rule around social gatherings of six applies both indoors and outdoors. but in scotland the six must be from two households only. and in wales, up to 30 people can still socialise outside. in scotland and wales, children under 12 and 11 aren't included, but they are in england. larger gatherings are still allowed in gyms, places of worship and at covid—secure weddings and funerals. while in northern ireland six people from two households can meet indoors, and up to 15 people can gather outside. let's speak to our wales correspondent tomos morgan. he's in cardiff. as we have just run through, there are different as we have just run through, there a re different rules as we have just run through, t

the son, however, which ran an interview with sir david attenborough on that very topic today, has describedde as an attack on the free press. the home secretary called the action completely unacceptable, while labour said people had the right to read the newspapers they want. in total, more than 60 arrests had been made. 42 of them here at brooks bahn, which is one of the largest newspaper presses in the world. thank you. the women's super league is back this afternoon, after a long wait. last season ended early because of the coronavirus pandemic, with chelsea awarded the title on a points per game basis. rhia chohan reports. that is absolutely out of the top drawer! after six months and 13 days, the fa women's super league is back and looks to be one of the most exciting and competitive seasons yet because the pandemic didn't seem to affect the transfers. if you thought chelsea meant business with sam kerr last year, then fresh signing pernille harder now makes for a terrifying squad. the champions paid in excess of a quarter of a million pounds for the danish international, a record fee

david attenborough said it best. if the zoo becomes extinction, we all do. in the wild, poachers are getting the best of the wild anima animals, but i think with the help of the zoo and the community, we can save the animals. >> where can i go if i want to donate? >> you can go to sfzoo.org. you can join, become a member or make a donation. it takes about $30,000 a day to feed all of our 2,000 animals, so you can pick how you want to help. >> well, i appreciate you coming onto the show today, miss peterson. >> thank you. the animals and i thank you from the bottom of our hearts. >> you've been watching coping with covid-19. for sfgovtv, i'm chris manners. thanks for watching.

sir david attenborough.ed out of this house, so i can't pretend i've changed my transport behaviour very much. but we are doing so, aren't we? i'm not flying away to all sorts of places. and how would you describe lockdown life? i can't plead a bad time. i think when i was newly married with a couple of kids, i think of when i was newly married with a couple of kids, in a flat with just two rooms and no garden, and thinking of what it would be like in the oncoming autumn and winter that lies ahead of us, having already been locked away for six months, i mean, that seems to me a pretty tough number. i know it is inevitable, i know it has to happen, and many people are having a much worse time than i am. i am lucky. i have a garden, i have a house and we are surviving, my daughter and i are surviving very well. but it's going to be very, very rough for people. one does miss seeing people and talking to people and having one's friends around and just walking around and seeing other people. just look at him, he
