Activity A5
The blizzards which have hit most of England and Wales have been causing chaos on the
country s roads and motorways. The M1 is closed in both directions in Leicestershire, where
snow falls have been particularly heavy. Rescue services are at full stretch helping drivers
that have abandoned their cars. Road maintenance teams were taken by surprise and
gritting lorries had not gone out, even though forecasters had been predicting bad
weather for several days.
The Prime Minister was in Brussels today, where he met other European leaders to
discuss the EU s financial policy. He delivered a tough speech that advised other countries
to follow Britain s example in keeping spending down. He said that his government had
had to take tough decisions in the past but that the UK was now benefiting from these,
with a reduction in unemployment and strong growth in the economy. His speech met
with a cool response from other EU leaders, who do not share his views on taxation and
spending.
Voters in India are going to the polls today in the biggest exercise in democracy in the
world. In major cities, queues had already formed by 7 o clock this morning, when the
polling stations opened, and a huge turnout has been predicted. There is strong support
for the prime minister, whose government claims it has the policies to ensure a
prosperous future for the country.
Later on in the programme we ll be speaking to the ten factory workers from Bristol
whose jackpot win on the National Lottery is one of the largest ever. They say they ll
use some of the money they ve won to help youngsters in the Bristol area &
