let's go now to linsey smith, who joins us from the preston new road site.windy there, no great surprise that they have had to call it off. it is, as you say, though whether it is the only thing that stopped fracking commencing today and there will be many attempts to stop it over recent years and weather permitting it shall go ahead on monday. if we take a few steps back, fracking is the process of forcing a liquid underground at high speed, high pressure, to break the shale rock underneath the earth's service, and in doing that it releases gases and oil that can be harnessed as fossil fuels. they have been many attempts to stop it over the years. it was temporarily banned in 2011 for what was believed to be causing minor earthquakes in lancashire and that was the last time that it happened here. you can see the protesters behind me. the failed attempt in the high court yesterday has not put them off. it wasn't only those minor earthquakes that caused concern here, there are also concerns that it can cause pollution to the waterways and noise and traffic po

the british shale gas company cuadrilla said it paused fracking at its preston new road site in lancashireed for a time at little plumpton at the weekend. but the energy company, cuadrilla has insisted the process is safe. time for a look at the weather. thanks, clive. good afternoon. most places are having a fine autumn day. it is chilly, but sunshine around for most places. a few showers dotted around, one from suffolk said in earlier. and for eastern parts of england and scotland there is the threat of the occasional shower. but on the hall, dry with good spells of sunshine. the winds from many will be like today, temperatures 8—10. cloud is lacking in the north west. that would affect us yet, but into europe, there has been altered snow across the pyrenees, and this mass of cloud masks and deep area of low pressure bringing with it heavy rain today but also some heavy snowfall for the alps. as that area of low pressure m oves for the alps. as that area of low pressure moves north it brings the potential for damaging winds up to scandinavia. that area of low pressure gets close to the u

british shale gas company cuadrilla has paused fracking at its preston new road site in lancashire forseismic events ? following this story. seismic events? a small earthquake if you like over in the fracking site in lancashire today. one the company stresses was very small and would not have been felt on the surface. it is significant because the drilling operation over there, which only began again last week after a seven—year break because of concerns over other quakes, it has tracked a traffic light system. anything which is apt to not .5 in magnitude between zero and 0.5, anything above 0.5 is red. what needs to stop all be temporarily stopped. what we have had today is a magnitude tremor measured at the site by the british geological survey of 0.8. that means that drilling for shale gas, in the exploratory phase at the moment, which only began a couple of weeks ago is it better to last three months. that drilling will now stop for at least 18 hours although the company says it will start again tomorrow morning. a temporary stop but it plays into what protesters have been saying f

dennis, the environmental campaigner, has failed to stop energy firm cuadrilla from fracking at preston new roadking that injunction to fracking. but he has failed in that beat at the high court to temporarily block cuadrilla from beginning fracking. it would be the uk's first horizontal shale gas well at that site in lancashire. we understand the fracking could begin at the site this weekend. pope francis has accepted the resignation of the archbishop of washington dc, according to reports from the vatican. cardinal donald wuerl has been under scrutiny over his handling of historical sexual abuse cases during that period. a short while ago our religion editor, martin bashir, explained the circumstances. cardinal wuerl had been bishop of pittsburgh from the 19805 into the 905. pittsburgh was included in the pennsylvania report that was published in august, which was 800 pages long. and delays at something like 301 priests had credible allegations against them, and more than a thousand children had been abused. the examples were absolutely horrendous. in one case a boy was ordered to stand naked

government is pretty keen on fracking and in october 2016 it gave the green light for the project at preston new road cb welcome all tourists around the world. the problem is quite specific, when large groups of 50 or so tourists gather, other people such as locals can‘t get past them. the medieval streets are narrow and i were stranded when a huge group of two wrists build the pavement and spilled out onto the road. my daughter who is 12 was jostled spilled out onto the road. my daughter who is 12 wasjostled into the path of a cyclist who was going very fast mac she wasn‘t hurt on that occasion but the point is, she could‘ve been. the tourists are very friendly and are having a great time but tourism bosses and the local council now want to encourage tour guides to escort much smaller groups to enhance everybody‘s experience of the city. we really value and welcome all visitors to cambridge. they have a very positive impact on the city in a number of ways. but what we are working on at the city council and visit cambridge is how we can lessen any negative impacts on local residents. we are a medieva
