a giant wooden dragon in north wales has prompted police to warn drivers not to slow down for a closerk, after an accident and numerous near—misses. the seven—metre sculpture looks down on motorists on the a5, near tregarth in gwynedd. sculptor simon o'rourke spent nearly a week wielding a chainsaw to carve the dragon from a fallen oak branch. mr o'rourke has also urged drivers to pay attention to the road. a rare natural phenomenon which makes it look like wheels of snow have been rolled on their own has been captured on camera. six "snow rollers" were spotted by brian bayliss in wiltshire. it is thought these are formed when wind conditions are ideal to blow chunks of snow along, which in turn pick up more snow along the way. i don't know if that is the seasonal equivalent of the crop circles we used to see in wiltshire a few years ago. where can you go after that, except to the weather. hello there. through the coming week we're going to notice a big difference in the feel of our weather. it's going to be turning much milder as we look to the atlantic for weather systems and draw up

minister got against towns in north wales? is not. and i have to say to the honourable gentleman, on the issue he raised about the hitachi site we did offer about the hitachi site we did offer a package of support, a package of support that no previous government had been willing to consider of one third equity, all debt financing and a strike price of no more than £75 per megawatt hour. ultimately we couldn't reach an agreement between all parties at this basis and hitachi decided on a commercial basis to suspend the project but they have made clear they wish to continue discussions with government and bringing forward new nuclear and we will support those discussions. 0ver we will support those discussions. over the last four years the number of people who have been stopped and searched by the police has fallen by two thirds. at the same time the number of stabbings has increased by a third. does the prime minister therefore agree with me that carried out in the right way, stop and search is an effective part of the battle a

i think on sunday, there should be some decent sunshine to go around, particularly north wales, the midlandse north—east of scotland as well. so might dispel the rain for scotland and northern ireland and we may well see another pulse of rain in the south—east england, being perhaps a bit more rain to the course of the afternoon. into wednesday night, a bit of uncertainty in the forecast. the main uncertainty is how close together these two weather front going to get. if they stay far enough apart, thursday went up being quite wet and windy day. spells a rain pushing slowly eastwards, clearing for the afternoon with a mix of sunshine and showers while in the showers most frequent cost our across western areas. seven to eight degrees so, england and wales eight or ten. however, if degrees so, england and wales eight orten. however, if those degrees so, england and wales eight or ten. however, if those two fronts get together and start interacting a bit more, we could end up with a deep area of low pressure. that could bring some strong winds wednesday night in the england and potentially is a
