There are other times when the atmosphere is very dry and at the kind of height that planes fly at, and you'll see very quickly those contrails just evaporating. So nothing to do with getting sprayed about. That's a complete fallacy, a complete hoax. It is just atmospheric physics. It's just about how much water there is up there in the atmosphere.

Well, I suppose if you live in a flood prone area, there are steps you can take. For example, don't use soft furnishings on floors, use tiles, because that way, if you do get a flood, it's much quicker to clean up and get back to normal after the floodwaters have receded. And the same for electricity sockets.

If they're low down in your house, if you put them higher up, they're going to give you a bit more protection as well. So there are simple measures that people can take like that, I suppose, to limit the impacts that flooding might have in their individual houses. Chris, thank you so much.

It is an extraordinary shift, a sea change almost, in what we're hearing from Meta. We're all familiar with tech companies telling us about all they do to fight things like misinformation. Now, Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook, Threads, is saying... fact-checking has gone too far. There's been mission creep and it's resulted in censorship.

He says it's time for the company to get back to its roots in free speech. Now, it's no coincidence that this is being said at the dawn of a second Trump presidency because there has been a narrative on the right that efforts to fight misinformation have effectively resulted in the censorship of right-wing voices. What we're seeing here is, in a sense, a sort of an adjustment.

Mark Zuckerberg may well believe that there's too much censorship, but at the same time, it doesn't hurt now that he is looking at working with President Trump and Elon Musk, who described himself as a free speech absolutist, of course.

Yes, and this is the system that effectively works on X. It's called community notes, and as you say, it is users adding notes to posts that they believe are erroneous. Of course, many people would argue it doesn't work particularly well on X, and it's not going to work particularly well on meta. It's going to result in more misinformation going through.

Of course, other people would say less censorship, but we've heard from one of the organisations that is at the moment saying, a third party fact-checking organisation, Full Fact, their chief executive, Chris Morris, has said, we absolutely refute Meta's charge of bias. We're strictly impartial. We fact-check claims from all political stripes with equal rigour. Part of what Mark...

zuckerberg had to say was that he looked forward to working with donald trump to take on governments around the world and particularly mentioned europe as in effect trying to censor free speech and censor american companies he looked forward to pushing back against that so is this nakedly mark zuckerberg just trying to get close to donald trump who's going to ultimately be his regulator for the foreseeable future
