Stay with us on 0utside source, still to come... we‘ll have the latest on the eu‘s response to a new wave of migrants trying to cross from turkey into greece. antarctica recorded its highest temperature earlier this month, reaching more than 20 degrees centigrade. it‘s bad news for the extraordinary marine life that lives in the icy waters of the world‘s coldest continent. 0ur chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, has been to see the impact that the changing antarctic environm...

Communities have left devastation in their wake and residents driven from their homes. a man in his 90s rescued by stretcher on his birthday. a young woman almost drowned in her bed by rising water levels. people are shell—shocked. im surprised that, you know, everybody survived, because the water came in so quick and a lot of people were surprised so quickly, a lot of people could have drowned. lives and livelihoods were completely overwhelmed as the river taff burst its banks. rising waters ...

What people should expect? what weve got is a range of calibrated responses, the measures that you have mentioned are on that list and theissue have mentioned are on that list and the issue will be when and how and with what logic to deploy them. there is already some anecdotal evidence, it is taking a long time for people to get through to 111 on the nhs, there is evidence and people cant get tested as quickly as they would like to. will you commit today to give the nhs exactly what it asks for...

All done for, isnt it? as you can imagine, the water here isnt very clean, but whats making it worse is that kerosene has got into it — they use it here as heating oil — and its given the water a film, it stinks and its getting into all these peoples houses. down the road in snaith, another 24 houses are still flooded. the water level might be dropping, but its not making much difference. pumps are moving water off the flood plain and into a nearby canal, butjust look at how much there is. i...

With weather experts warning that the devastation caused by storm dennis is a "taste of things to come". last months flooding overwhelmed defences and some warning systems failed. a leading meteorologist has told the bbc that a report, written four years ago, had warned the government to prepare for further episodes of extreme rainfall. wales environment minister denies that her department has been complacent in dealing with the threat of floods. coming up shortly we have victoria derbyshire. we...

Site visit, government ministers have flown in from jakarta to visit the site where they plan to build this brand—new capital and we are following them. first stop is to survey a bridge that will provide key access to the area. 0fficials making promises that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated here. but theres no time for questions, we are told to get back on the boat. the whole tour is very disorganised and confusing. many of the bureaucrats saying here that its because like the new...

As the train travels, becoming one of the first in the world to do so. so lets just see how fast the coverage is down here. i was getting around 1.1 gigabytes per second on average on the platform, but it was quite a bit lower when travelling on the train. the speed does differ between going down the tunnel and being in the station. its slightly slower in the tunnel and it does vary. sometimes it can be as high as 500 mbps or it can be as low as 170 but, saying that, you are still getting decent...
