Snow shortage threatens Alps with wet winter season.

New Year temperatures in Switzerland hit a record 20 degrees centigrade - the highest ever north of the Alps in January.

In the first few days of January, weather records were broken across Europe.  The unseasonably warm temperature has affected eight countries stretching from Spain to Denmark. In Splugen in Switzerland the slopes are closed due to a lack of snow. 

Meanwhile, a number of malls and markets in Pakistan have said they are not going to follow the rules in response of yesterday government order to close all malls and markets by 8:30 p.m. as part of its new energy conservation plan and to save money.  

We will also have a deep look at the economy of India, which this year is expected to overtake China to become the world's most populous nation.
