a study from the natural history museum found that the uk is losing biodiversity so quickly that it'sthe world. that's important because there are rare, long—lost species that could be better suited to the extreme conditions caused by global warming. many of the crops we depend on, such as this coffee plant, won't thrive under the increased temperatures predicted by climate change. but these beans from 1873 could provide an answer. they were found in the collection at kew gardens here. not only are they more heat—resistant, but they make an excellent brew, with tones of honey and blackcurrant, apparently. it's just one example of many of how science, rather than taking us away from the natural world, is bringing us closer to solutions for some of humanity's greatest problems. millions of tonnes of sand were shifted to a stretch of coastline in north norfolk to see if a natural barrier could hold back rising sea levels. it seems to have worked. the homes and businesses are on the front line of rising sea levels. the sand barrier idea is cheaper than building a concrete seawall. this mo

we are standing here at the natural history museum of los-- time out. does it always look like that in the museum? yeah. i hate when i go into a museum and it's bright as hell. no, it's always dark like that. i feel like it should-- all museums should be dark. yeah, i agree. and what is your role here? i am the manager of live invertebrate. spiders would fit that profile, correct? absolutely. dr. drew: so these various fears you're mentioning-- have you ever felt they were irrational? i'll let you answer that. yes, they're irrational. - ew, is that a cockroach? - yep. what the hell is that? that is coco, the goliath bird eater tarantula. eats birds. [bird scream] that just sounds terrifying. well, it is gigantic. are you scared? was your-- not-- it's not scary. it's just-- ah! the tarantulas and the black widows and all these spiders, it doesn't even make, like, your skin tingle? a lot of things make my skin tingle. dr. drew: and i told you to get some exposure, right? johnny bananas: mm-hmm. - we have exposure therapy. tolerable exposure. yep, i think

number of venues have had to close temporarily — including edinburgh castle and london's natural history museum's west end theatres have cancelled some performances and the mayor of london sadiq khan has called off this year's new year's celebration in the capital because of public safety fears. well, earlier today cabinet minister stephen barclay said the chancellor had met business leaders who are calling for more financial support. he told the bbc the government would "say more about this later today". more on it in a moment, but first this report from our political correspondent damian grammaticas. under the microscope now, not the virus, but the government's approach to tackling it. where many were hoping for clarity ahead of christmas, there is instead uncertainty. covid cases are surging and borisjohnson and his cabinet met yesterday, but they have yet to decide on any of the key questions. are new covid measures required for england? if so, how soon and how severe? we agreed we should keep the data from now on under constant review, keep following it hour by hour. and unfortunately i mu

the space rock is so rare, some of it was put on display at the natural history museum in london. history museum in london. i can't describe it. and now we have lots of people who will be able to come and see it, so it is just wonderful. why did it land on our drive? it could have landed a few metres away and landed in the hedge - and we would never have seen it. this summer took us from space rocks to space tourism. richard branson took his virgin galactic rocket plane to the edge of space. with tickets costing around a quarter of a million dollars, passengers get to experience weightlessness and taking the view. i have done some ridiculous things in my lifetime, truly, truly ridiculous. i just can't wait to experience it. it is an experience of a lifetime. billionairejeff bezos also launched his tourist rocket, new shepherd, and, on board, heading to the final frontier, the star trek actor william shatner. at 90, he became the oldest person to reach space. the most profound experience. i am so filled with emotion about what just happened. it is extraordinary. these flights are o

venues have also been forced to close, because of staff needing to self—isolate, with the natural history museumto stress that whether or not, whatever comes from this cabinet meeting this afternoon, they need urgent help. the hospitality industry says 10,000 venues could close unless they get further assistance, we have had some football figures this morning about how many people are out, 8.5% down on last week in city centres which is 25% down on pre—pandemic levels. the government position has always been that you are not locked down and you can open so support is tied to that and as you said, with consumer confidence and commuter numbers evaporating with the higher infection and the health messaging, we might all be locked down and we need to treat it as if we are. they are asking for cash help because thatis are asking for cash help because that is the thing, they had to pay staff bills, energy bills, they have just stocked the larders and fridges are bulging, the sellers are full and the cancellations are running at between 40 and 80% so they are saying they need help whatever happens. we

another bit of news, if you are planning to visit the natural history museum in london in the uk, itn will remain closed for one week from tomorrow, in the hope that staffing levels will have recovered. basically, people have either got covid or heart having to isolate because they come into contact with someone —— they are having to isolate. they have been impacted by infections and isolation requirements and the museum has said it is not a decision they have taken lightly but the safety of staff and visitors must come first point that they say that if you have booked tickets for any of the exhibitions for those dates they will be cancelled and refunded. the headlines on bbc news... the uk government is being urged to set out plans to tackle surging cases of coronavirus. sources tell the bbc three options forfurther restrictions in england are being looked at. it comes as governments across the world look to bolster restrictions, amid fresh warnings over the rapid spread of the omicron variant. more pressure on the british prime minister, borisjohnson, over whether he broke lockdown

we have seen edinburgh castle and the natural history museum are closed down.fection and the spread of infection is closing things down so we need to do things to limit the spread of infection. that seems to me to be the primary thing we've got to do, and i think individuals can do it by limiting the numbers of contacts that they have and i think that is really important. the best way of saving christmas is not getting infected in the first place. the best way of not getting infected is to think about whether certain contacts with people are essential. if you do consider them to be essential, to be very careful, to take a lateral flow test before hand, if possible to meet outside, ventilate spaces as well and so forth. all things people can do but they do need the clarity of information and support from the government. brute information and support from the government-— information and support from the government. ~ . ., ., ., government. we are waiting to hear the details on _ government. we are waiting to hear the details on post-christmas - the details on po

and the national museum of natural history. they are flood prone and have extensive lower level spaces housing invaluable collections. the national museum of the american indian and the national air and space museum, while at risk, are not as vulnerable and have fewer lower level spaces and collections. the national museum of african-american history and culture has flood mitigations included in its original design. we must take steps. flooding causes more than just water damage. high humidity and temperature fluctuations are possible if our climate control systems, or our generators are damaged. this could impact the objects in our care. beyond flooding, it is becoming more challenging and expensive to maintain the environmental controls in these spaces. even minor fluctuations can harm delicate items. to address these concerns, the smithsonian pass national collections program has been purchasing and installing gasket cabinetry to replace substandard storage. these new enclosures can effectively protect the collections and buf

a number of venues have had to close temporarily, including edinburgh castle and london's natural history museum government has banned spectators at sporting events from boxing day. and the mayor of london sadiq khan has called off this year's new year's celebration in the capital because of public safety fears. here is our chief political correspondent adams learning. —— adam fleming. looks like we're going to get an update from the chancellor and the treasury later on financial support for business. that's interesting, because yesterday the word i'd been hearing was that the treasury wants to wait until there was more clarity on whether there'd be further restrictions looks like they're deciding to go ahead without that clarity. although i wonder if it could be about spending previously allocated support that has remained unspent thus far rather than new money being announced. so, let's read the small print once that announcement comes, if there is an announcement. in terms of further restrictions to deal with the omicron variant in england, we're still in a holding pattern. the government is

the latest we have heard, for instance, is that the natural history museum have had to close for a weeknprecedented impact on its staff through covid. so, even without enforced lockdowns, there is testing, people are aware of when there are cases and there are rules in place to make people stay at home in that context. so, are we kind of, in context, almost in a quasi—lockdown, in that people have to shut themselves away when they are affected? lockdown is not a helpful term, that is part of the problem here. it is taking measures to keep yourself and other people say. and there are a number of these. what is happening is that people generally come across the whole piece, in spite of everything else, most people have known what to do and have done the right thing. that is the vast majority. what you can see is a lot of people are seeing what is going on and making their own probably quite sensible decisions, to not go to that big office party, to reduce the number of points of contact ahead of christmas. so, they can still do the things they need to do to see family and so on at christm

they were mostly, resources in the city, at the american museum of natural history, which is the hayden as part of it, that is educators and scientists. i found scientists and thought if i am ever a scientist that is the command of science that i want. then i saw an educator and i said he has such a beautiful turn of phrase and what a compelling storyteller, if i'm ever an educator, that's the kind of educator i wanted to be. my father worked for the city government under mayor lindsay during the civil rights era and i said if i ever have to think about the plight of the disadvantaged in this world, i want to do it the way my father has, because he does it with compassion, even for the people who are screaming at those who are just trying to integrate to school. he never had a bitter bone in his body. he saw them a sort of victims of their own upbringing, of their own immersion. so what i did, i cobbled together bits and pieces of people who had abilities and talents that i respected. a stabled them together and i said, "that's who i want to be." and in there, yes, there are people with
