People swimming in the lake 16. Two people walking on street STORYLINE While the south is suffering a deluge, much of northern China is sweating through a heat wave, which has driven temperatures to nearly 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in the capital, Beijing. Animals in Beijing Zoo had to find different ways to cool themselves down. Pandas prefer to lie down quietly without doing anything and ignore the disappointment of the visitors. In the zoo's monkey hill, the monkeys played with water under the scorching sun. The zoo installed tap water pipes on the monkey hill area this year to specially cool them down on hot summer days. The heat waves are extremely bad news for polar bears, who usually live in the frozen climates of the north pole. One black bear found the pond to be the best place to avoid the heat. Similarly, some Beijing citizens chose to swim in Shichahai lake to cool down. Chinese Meteorological departments have issued high temperature warnings in accordance to the current weather forecast to Beijing locals. The temperature is expected to drop slightly Thursday, according to Beijing Meteorological Station.

Full title reads: "Now we continue our journey to Greenland's icy mountains No. 6" <br/> <br/>Introductory intertitle reads: "Accompanying bluff old Capt. Bartlett (Peary's Companion on his North Pole dash) we brave the perils of ice and water in search of Arctic adventures." <br/> <br/>High angle shot of the prow of the Morrissey as it cuts its way through ice floes. Moving shot of "miles and miles of menacing ice". Unusual shot of man climbing up to the crow's-nest - we see the top of his head as he climbs the rope ladder towards the cameraman.

Bob jokes about how the bear will swim home and tell the wife all about his adventure. <br/> <br/>Various shots of icebergs and local animals - a shoal of seals, walruses (?) and some large whales (? Bob does name this particular creature but sound is poor and my knowledge of Arctic animals not as good as it could be. Narwhale ?)

Close-up of melting polar bear sculpture 14. Zoom out from sculpture to wide shot of street scene STORYLINE Environmental volunteers in China tried to raise people's awareness of global warming on Saturday by displaying an ice sculpture of a polar bear in downtown Beijing. The melting ice sculpture signalled the start of a campaign to raise public knowledge and awareness in China to the dangers of the increased pace of global warming and the threat of animal species extinctions. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) staged the symbolic meltdown to draw attention to a conference on renewable energy to be held in the Chinese capital next week, where environment officials from 40 countries will promote solar energy, wind power and bio-fuel development. Non-governmental groups (NGOs) took measures to alert the Chinese public to damage caused by rising world temperatures due to fossil fuel pollution. Gan Lin, director of the Chinese Climate and Energy Programme, said public awareness is the first crucial step in making fundamental changes to energy production. "We want to mobilise public support, to get people aware of the impact of using fossil fuels energy, production and use, and to switch to clean power, particularly renewable energies," Gan said. The WWF says public education, government policy and private enterprise need to focus on the consequences of climate change and the promise of renewable energy. The two-day Beijing International Renewable Energy Conference which begins on Monday will review vows to develop renewable energies made by governments, businesses and organisations 18 months ago at the first such conference in Bonn, Germany in June 2004. China is struggling to meet a huge and growing demand for energy to fuel its surging economy. Switching the world's energy sources to renewable energies is a key strategy in combating climate change which is due to burning fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas. China is investing massively in coal-fired power stations. By 2025, more than half of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases will be coming from developing countries. KEYWORD - WACKY

Pan down from winter sky to reindeer enclosure 14. Various of reindeers STORYLINE ANIMALS FACE THE BIG FREEZE IN POLAND As many struggle to cope with the freezing temperatures gripping Europe, others have had a different reaction to the severe winter weather. In Wroclaw Zoo, in western Poland, the inhabitants appear to be enjoying the low temperatures, and zoo keepers say they seem more lively than in warmer seasons. While the zoo''s bear remains in hibernation, others such as the reindeers, wolves and the Siberian tiger are spending more time outdoors, unperturbed by the thick snow covering the ground. Even the South African fur seals are enjoying the winter snap, frolicking and cavorting in the cooler water, zoo keeper Pawel Borecki said. For reindeers in the wild long winter spells can be deadly, with the animals having to seek winter forage under impenetrable sheets of ice. Wroclaw''s reindeers, unused to temperatures more akin to polar bears, penguins and artic foxes, have adapted to the colder climate, according to another keeper.

Mid of people waving flag in water STORYLINE: Hundreds of New York swimmers welcomed the New Year 2013 on Tuesday with a plunge into the icy sea off Brooklyn's Coney Island, an area struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy. Members of the Ice Breakers and the Coney Island Polar Bear clubs and other brave bathers stripped down to their trunks or dressed in costumes for the annual New Year's Day splash. Temperatures outside were around 0 degrees Celsius (in the 30s Fahrenheit). People screamed at the shock of the cold water. "It's freezing brick city!" shouted one swimmer. Another, Josh Gottesmann, who took the plunge wearing an underwater camera, said the experience was cold, "but quite refreshing, too." This year, Polar Bear club members and others were raising money for Sandy relief efforts. The area was badly flooded by the late-October storm. The Ice Breakers try to raise awareness of water pollution.

FTG OF GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY WITH WIFE ANN ROMNEY SPEAKING AT AMERICAN LEGION CENTER WHERE THEY HAD SERVED PANCAKES TO SUPPORTERS. MITT ROMNEY AND ANN ROMNEY ARE ON STAGE B ROLL OF MITT AND ANN ROMNEY GLAD HANDING THEN MITT AND ANN SPEAK FROM STAGE NOTES FROM EMILY FRIEDMAN, OFF AIR--MOLINE, Illinois - "Is there anyone in here that is going to vote for Obama next time? Is there anybody? I mean, we're really upset," said Ann Romney, who took the stage at the American Legion Post 246, where her husband Mitt had doled out pancakes to a crowd of about 200 before making remarks. "And I love it that women are upset, too, that women are talking about the economy, I love that. Women are talking about jobs, women are talking about deficit spending. Thank you, women. We need you. We all need you in November, too. We have to remember why we're upset and what we've got to do to fix things." "These policies of the President are so out of touch with the American people. I was in St. Louis just a few days ago, met with people there. Met with a fellow whose a landscaper - said that the price of gasoline, just getting to the various places that he and his team needed to work, is making it real tough for them to think about their future. I met with the teacher who'd been out of work and she said that she could get opportunities to teach on a temporary basis, but when she considers the cost of gasoline to get to the job and back, it doesn't make sense to go off of unemployment." "You've got Moms, who are driving their kids to school and to practice after school and other appointments and wonder how they can afford to put gasoline in the car at the same time putting food on the table night after night. The American people are struggling, this President doesn't understand the economy, he's an economic lightweight and he's made decisions that have hurt the American people. And it's time to put in place an economic heavyweight and I am and I'll get that job done." "Now I'm convinced that America is going to have the best chance of replacing an economic lightweight, if we nominate an economic heavyweight. Now there are some other good fellows in this campaign- you know Senator Santorum and Speaker Gingrich and Congressman Paul.Senator Santorum, I think, has the same characteristic as the President in terms of his background, spent his life in the government, nothing wrong with that - but right now we need someone who understands the economy fundamentally. Senator Santorum has the same economic lightweight background that the President has - otherwise how in the world could he have possibly voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times without compensating cuts in spending? Didn't he realize what would happen with deficits getting larger and larger and debt piling up. At the same time, voted for 51 different state spending measures that added spending. Not one did he propose to reduce spending - he talked about being proud about sending $500,000 to a polar bear exhibit at the zoo in Pittsburgh. I mean, I'm sure Polar Bears need a nice place to live but I just don't think we should be borrowing money from other nations to do things that are not absolutely essential - we've got to get an economic heavyweight to replace an economic lightweight."
