i'm joined by professor bill collins, from the department of meteorology at the university of readingl world has taken up about half of the emissions of carbon dioxide that we have admitted into the atmosphere. the met office prediction is saying that perhaps this year when it is going to be warmer and drier in the forest regions, this natural removal process will not be as efficient and more of what we admit will be in the atmosphere rather than ta ken more of what we admit will be in the atmosphere rather than taken out. what can we do about that if anything? so the cause of this increase in carbon dioxide is because we are admitting into the atmosphere, burning coal burning oil and burning gas. the first things to do is to stop burning these fossil fuels. so for instance, moving our ca rs fuels. so for instance, moving our cars from petro power to electric power. and making our electricity come from renewable sources. why does the co2 very over the course of the year? —— why does the co2 differ over the course of the year? the forest and other vegetation take that c02 forest and ot

we've been counting all the numbers, looking at all the meteorology. not a lot is going to change.. stay in chilly for the next few days. some sunshine but large amounts of cloud as well. the potential for suntrust and some fog at night. where is the amount air —— where is the mild air, i hear you cry? right now, it is being kept away from us by this big area of high pressure which is parking itself right on top of the british isles, this also blocking the atla ntic isles, this also blocking the atlantic frontal systems. underneath this high, we're trapping a lot of cloud. we're going to keep those areas of cloud floating across the weather map as we go to this evening and tonight. where we don't have too much cloud, some clearer skies, parts of east wales, northern england, east of scotland, these areas where will turn corners. —— where will turn coldest. the far southeast seeing a bit more cloud. the odd drizzly shower as well. we go into tomorrow. it of a mishmash to start. i am hopeful that as the day wears on, and he thought should tend to left. the cloud should tend to break

in fact one of the us government's own meteorological agencies posted this picture after donald trump'stav danaos explained it to me earlier. 0k, ok, first of all, we will highlight what the playboy taxes. and it's actually an area of low pressure, upper—level several miles up in the atmosphere, spinning quite neatly around both north and south paul. now occasionally, the vortex becomes a bit distorted, and a piece of it can often break away, and move southwards, so it's not exactly the palaver tax which is moving south, but the very cold air at the surface of the arctic, which actually pours southwards underneath it. it's a polarjet really, which surrounds the polls, as a piece falls out, as you can see here, it allows this very arctic cold air to move into lower latitudes. so it's clearly extreme, is it unprecedented, can we say that? it does happen, we get cold snaps all year round, it's not really exclusively a global warming because phenomenon, they are bound to happen a couple of times a year, but i think what research has found recently is that a warming of the arctic, ip people

after studying meteorology she became the weather presenter for bbc north west tonight in 1994.nd of 2019 is 0ctavian, a 23—year old rapperfrom london who was previously homeless as a teenager. the 23—year—old began to attract wide attention after high profile musicians began sharing his music on social media. the award goes to performers who've never had a top ten hit, and aims to boost the profile of new music talent. previous winners include adele and sam smith. and they have done rather well for themselves, haven't they? that is a summary themselves, haven't they? that is a summary of the news. coming up just before 10:15... three—times grand slam winner andy murray has broken down in tears in a news conference, saying the australian open next week might be the final tournament of his career because he can't continue to "play through the pain" after his hip surgery. we'll hearfrom former british women's number one annabel croft to get reaction. do get in touch with us throughout the morning on all the things we're talking about — use the hashtag victoria live. if you're emai

the meteorological effect of that is moisture doubled in any heat that the sun would be reflect impairedbecause of so rare. earlier this is a sheet of i.c.e. from bank to bank. it looks to me like an icebreaker came up the middle and you can see the warm water so it is a little bit you get the steam coming off the river which is a remarkable thing to see. often times and really severe cold like this we end up doing with house fires because people use cheap eaters. they use them poorly. there was a fire in the southside of chicago today. we can't pinpoint exactly what caused it yet, but they had to have more show up on the scene. and they wrote david cruz and then out. for people escape where there were no smoke yours. here's the battalion chief. >> they did the best they could. the weather conditions -- [inaudible] >> dozens of commuter rail lines were shut down. amtrak shut down service in and out of chicago. real operators went the extra mile to set fire to the rails themselves. that is because in the extreme cold this deal will contract critic and crack the rails, sheriff bowles. the

kind enough to say she felt i had been a breath of fresh air last year but as she developed her meteorologicalhe truth lies somewhere in between. i am grateful to anna for introducing me because i wa nted to anna for introducing me because i wanted to begin by reflecting on one of my favourite radio four programmes, second of my favourite radio four programmes, second only to farming today, which is the long view. it's presented by jonathan friedland today, which is the long view. it's presented byjonathan friedland and it asks us to consider current events in the historical contexts and it draws parallels between controversies of our time and the challenges of the past. few professions of course take a longer view than agriculture. farmers plan, invest and produce for the long term. those of us in westminster live in a world of hourly twitter storms and daily news cycle is where a week is now a very long time in politics. farming requires the patience and foresight to think in harvests a nd patience and foresight to think in harvests and lifecycles. to see beyond the immediate and to scan the

i meteorological department has increased the wind force to 50 miles an houror more, increased the windwn the hatches. they talk about it being the most powerful storm and some 30 years. backin powerful storm and some 30 years. back in around 1990, the last big storm like this. there were lots of backpackers. a real tropical hotspot. a lot of diving activities and thousands and thousands of people. and this kind of year —— this time of year there will be up to 6000 british people on those islands, many of them have gotten onto the mainland and many airports there have been closed as well. you are saying, thailand, not a good place to go but to keep this in perspective, this is affecting the southern part of the country, it is expected to cross the peninsular and the fact the resort of krabi and the island of phuket but bangkok and the north of the country is at the moment unaffected. what about people booked to travel to those particular areas. can they cancelled, do they have rights? that depends on the nature of your trip. if you booked a package holiday to one of those lovely islands

the american meteorological society reported in december that 15 extreme weather events in 2017 were made more likely due to human-caused climate change, including a devastating marine heatwave off the coast of australia that would have been, and i quote, virtually impossible, end quote, without human-induced warming. the report drew attention to the role of oceans in many of these extreme events. jeff rosen feld, the meteorological, we're seeing the oceans as a link in a chain of causes that ultimately tie human causes to extreme weather events on land. the changes occurring in the ocean are posing an increasing threat to our coastal communities. from gulf communities in louisiana to shoreline communities in rhode island. the union of concerned scientistings released a report last year finding over 300,000 coastal homes with a collective market value over $130 billion are at risk of chronic flooding by 2045. by the end of the century, 2.4 million homes worth more than $1 trillion are expected to be at risk. a 2018 report from climate central and glil zillow found that thousands of h
