dr nicky fox explains. we have a wonderful heat shield that we keep orientated between us and the sun, and so it keeps everythingcecraft nice and cool. it kind of creates a shadow. from the corona, the sun releases charged particles and magnetic fields, which are carried to earth on solar winds. these winds create breathtaking spectacles like the northern lights. but bigger outbursts from the sun can be problematic, causing disruptions to communications, knocking satellites off—line and can cause power grids to surge. nasa's hope is that this research will result in more accurate forecasting making us better prepared for solar weather events. michael cowan, bbc news. the government says its planning to introduce new offences of causing death by dangerous or careless cycling. under the proposal cyclists who kill pedestrians would be treated in a similar way to dangerous drivers, who face a prison sentence up to 1a years. cycling campaigners are calling for wider reform of road safety legislation. simonjones reports. kim briggs was knocked over by a cyclist in london in 2016. she died a week later. the bike that h
