Hi
wget won't do it.
It's not a file you're linking to, it's a stream. So you need a program that will capture the stream and save it as a file.
Look in Ubuntu's repository for a program named 'get-iplayer'.
When you've installed it use a command like this:-
So to download the video that you linked, the command is:-Code:get-iplayer --get --url=<URL>
Code:get-iplayer --get --url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8609545.stm

As a side note it appears that BBC policy has meant the end of development of this program:
get_iplayer dropped in response to BBC’s lack of support for open source
