bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello there. it does look like this cold spell is here to stay for the foreseeable future. we are likely to see further spells of rain, sleet and snow. some significant accumulations towards the second part of the weekend in one or two areas. we will start to see increasing amounts of freezing fog developing as the winds will turn lighter, particularly across england and wales. bitterly cold start to the weekend then, as you can see from these temperatures, even lower in a few spots, maybe down to —9 in places, and watch out for ice first thing around northern and western coastal areas. it is here where we are likely to see the wintry showers continuing throughout the day. elsewhere, there will be a lot of wintry sunshine around. we could see this area of snow becoming heavier and more persistent across the north—east. and the east of scotland through the day, some significant accumulations of snow, certainly

in 2004, a commentator on the fox news program newswatch named jim pinkerton said in that program that polls are as accurate and precise as human nature, which is to say they are not accurate and they are not precise. this practice, he said, is witchcraft. the 24 presidential election problem really represented the zenith or if you will the nadir of pop among prominent journalists that year, jimmy breslin, a well-known, well-read, celebrated columnist writer, playwright in new york city. took on a campaign late in the late the race to chastise polls on one occasion, calling them cheap, meaningless blatant lies. and. jiy breslin's complaint was that pollsters were not interviewing voters with cell phones who had given up landlines and were relying primarily on cell phones that. number was fairly small a cell phone only. voters back in 2004. itas since become overwhelming. many people have given up thr landline f cell phone only use not so much in 2000 for pollsters. he was right did not generally call cell phone numbers. there were complications. federal regulations seem to impede that
