This is BBC News. The headlines at 10pm: | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Urgent work has been carried out to repair flood defences, | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
with the prospect of a fresh storm hitting areas that | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
It looks like storm after storm is coming. If that happens, | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
unfortunately, there may well be floods again. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
In the town of Tadcaster in north Yorkshire, the main bridge has | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
collapsed, following the severe flooding. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
A would-be suicide bomber and his wife have been found guilty | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
of planning a terror attack in London earlier this year. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Also in the next hour - Tributes have been paid | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Admirers say he was one of the last true rock stars, | :00:43. | :00:55. | |
while his bandmates urge fans to play his music loud. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
Leicester and Manchester City play out a 0-0 draw, leaving Arsenal in | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
top spot for the turn of the year. People in the north-west of England, | :01:08. | :01:26. | |
already affected by flooding, have been warned they could face | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
a very bad situation with the arrival of | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
another storm tonight. The extreme weather could also | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
affect people in southern and central Scotland, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
as well as parts of Wales During the day, the people of York | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
have been assessing the damage Tonight after days of resisting | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
the torrents, the bridge over the river in Tadcaster finally | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
and dramatically succumbed, The impact of these floods will be | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
felt by this community It is all a reminder | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
that this is not over yet. Despite the sunshine today, | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
communities along the river Ouse are still fighting to | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
hold back the water. The ancient city of York, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
struggling to emerge from the worst Flying over all this water in this | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
kind of weather looks dramatic and spectacular but even quite | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
beautiful, but you realise down on the ground in places | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
like Huntington Road, That is the highest it | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
got too on Boxing Day. Jason and Jack amongst those | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
returning home for the first time. Their beekeeping business lost | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
to the rising waters. It keeps you up at night, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
it keeps cycling through your head. Around the corner it is all hands | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
to the pump is for this family. Calculating what has been lost | :03:08. | :03:19. | |
and of course the insurance. We may not claim on it | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
if it is going to not be the best If it's better not to claim and | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
clean it up. York is coming out of this disaster, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
looking at the different 24 But as the waters retreat | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the questions for the ministers keep We have spent an incredible amount | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
of money on flood defences in the past ten years | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
but if more needs to happen, The focus here now is all | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
about cleaning up and moving on, throwing out what has been destroyed | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
and facing the future. The worst of it is being homeless, | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
I cannot tell you how many offers we have had of homes and everything | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
but it is not your own. Would it be terrible to wish | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
you a happy New Year. No, I'm hoping that when this | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
is over next year is a new start. For a few, very few, | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
there is actually fun to be had. For most though it is a matter | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
of holding on, waiting for the great The Viking centre in York has been | :04:18. | :04:38. | |
badly affected by the floods and closed to visitors. They managed to | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
save their most valuable exhibits, some of which date to the ninth | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
century. But there's no plan yet to re-open. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
How does it make you feel looking at the museum like this? It's fairly | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
depressing really. It is upsetting. This centre attracts 400,000 | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
visitors to this historic city every year. Today it's in ruins. They | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
don't know when it will re-Open. What it means going forward, at the | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
moment, we have to get rid of the water and see what there is. How | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
will do you that? You have to find some pumps. But the pumps of York | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
are all active at the moment. We're waiting to actually get hold of some | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
pumps to start pumping out, as the rivers go down, to pump it somewhere | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
that it can go. Across town, at a secret location, items rescued from | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
the muse deem are carefully counted. -- museum are carefully counted. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
This is a Viking age sock. The only sock, Viking age sock found in | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
excavation in England. These are priceless. It's a representation of | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
a significant part of York and the country's history. The Viking | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
period, over a thousand years old, superb artefacts that are not | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
represented anywhere else in the country, only in York. Finally what | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the museum has been waiting for, a pump has arrived and there would | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
have been even more water if it wasn't for quick thinking staff. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Basically, a member of staff noticed that the water were potentially come | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
topping the centre. We decided to take this fire door off. Just off | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
the hinges? Yes put it into place, seal it with silicone and bichimen | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
and it bought us time. It will take time for this museum to get back on | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
its feet. Right now they're assessing what needs to be repaired | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
and replaced. Just one part of this historic city that is counting the | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
cost. At 10. 30pm we will be liver with | :06:42. | :06:58. | |

has been charged with the murder of another pensioner | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
at a care home in Essex. Rita King was killed at the home | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
in Walton-on-the-Naze yesterday. A weapon was recovered | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
from the scene. Ronald King is due | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
in court tomorrow. A would-be suicide bomber | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
and his wife have been found guilty of planning a terror attack | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
in London earlier this year, to coincide with the 10th | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
anniversary of the July 7th Mohammed Rehman who called himself | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
the Silent Bomber had stockpiled chemicals needed to make | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
an explosive device, A back garden in Reading, | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Mohammed Rehman tests his explosive The bang was so large it | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
brought neighbours out. Mohammed Rahman had made his test | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
device with the help of Sana Khan, the woman he had married in secret | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
and whose salary they used to buy Mohammed Rehman lived | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
with his parents, who did not want their faces shown, | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
but told me they had no idea their son had been involved | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
in a terrorist plot. When I heard I thought, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
oh my God, what if he'd done that, you know, made the mistake and done | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
it somewhere else. A lot of people would be in danger | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
and lost their lives. The court heard the prosecution said | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
that he was two days or so away from having a proper bomb and that | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
could have caused I'm really grateful to the police | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
that they came in time and saved our lives | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
and everyone else's lives. Rehman and Khan put chemicals | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
and other equipment online. The pair idolised so-called | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
Islamic State and the 7/7 bombers On Twitter Mohammed Rehman called | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
himself the Silent Bomber and asked, "Westfield shopping centre | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
or London Underground? Any advice would be | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
appreciated greatly." A hint, say police, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
of his possible targets. I still cannot believe | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
that he is my son and he is doing Police believe Rehman and Khan both | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
wanted to play their part The couple, who didn't | :09:38. | :09:51. | |
tell their families they had married, and who also plotted | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
to surprise the world Duncan Kennedy, BBC | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
News, in Reading. American military officials say ten | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
members of the Islamic State group have been killed in the last month - | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
including two who had direct links with the alleged ringleader | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
of the Paris attacks. Charaffe al Mouadan - | :10:14. | :10:16. | |

promised to defeat the so-called Islamic State group, | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
saying that 2016 will be the year the extremist group is forced | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
out of the country. Haider al-Abadi made the comments | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
in a television address to the nation, following | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
the recapture of the city Much of the city has been damaged | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
in weeks of fighting and many of the thousands | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
of residents who fled, will return to find | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
nothing but rubble. Our correspondent thomas | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Fessy is in Baghdad. There was a lot of concerns over | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
the last few days for the offensive for the plight of | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
the people in the city and was trapped especially | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
in the city centre where the Iraqi forces were trying to | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
close in on the last stronghold of so-called | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Islamic state fighters. We have just got the very first | :11:50. | :11:50. | |
pictures of some of those arrested and we understand they were taken | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
by the Iraqi forces As you can see they were | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
given food and water. Now we are trying to understand | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
where other families may have gone and how | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
residents will be able to return. You have to understand that Ramadi | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
is a now a city that has been sacrificed in battle with many | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
houses and buildings completely destroyed or at least severely | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
damaged and it will take a lot of time for residents to be | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
able to come back home. The World Health Organisation says | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
the Ebola outbreak in Guinea has ended, two years after it first | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
emerged in the West African State. More than 11,000 people have | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
died of the disease, mainly in Guinea, | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Liberia and Sierra Leone. But health officials warn | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
there could still be sporadic Doctor Rick Brennan is Director | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
of the World Health Organisation's Ebola Coordination | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
and Response team. We are saying today that the | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
original chain of transmission that started in west Africa the better | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
part of two years ago is over as of today. As you rightly said, Sierra | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Leone declared the end of Ebola transmission last month. In fact, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Liberia declared the end of transmission back in May. The caveat | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
here is that in spite of that tremendous progress, since March | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
this year we've had ten other minor outbreaks or flares, if you like, | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
that aren't due to the original chain of transmission as such, the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
person-to-person spread, but is due to re-emergence of the virus in | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
survivors. So we do need to remain vigilant. Guinea is about to enter | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
90 days of heightened surveillance. We are putting in processes to | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
prevent, detect and respond to future flares that may arise from | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
this phenomenon of re-emergence from you are is viefrz. -- from | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
survivors. Changes to the laws on domestic | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
violence come into effect today to cover coercive and | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
controlling behaviour. The legislation, which applies | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
to England and Wales, is designed to protect victims | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
of extreme psychological and emotional domestic cruelty, | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
a change welcomed by campaigners. The new law aims to tackle a crime | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
that is often invisible It will target those | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
who subject spouses, partners and family members | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
to psychological and emotional It means cases can now be brought | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
if there is evidence of intentional repeated controlling | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
or coercive behaviour. This could include preventing | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
their victims socialising and controlling their social media | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
accounts, refusing them access to money, or determining many | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
aspects of their everyday life, such as when they are allowed | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
to eat, sleep and go to the toilet. We really hope that it | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
will make a difference, not only for those victims, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
knowing that what they're experiencing is a criminal offence, | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
but also for perpetrators - to know that actually | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
what they're doing is criminal The new law was brought into force | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
in England and Wales following a Home Office | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
consultation, in which 85% of participants said | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
the existing law didn't The headlines now on BBC News: | :15:21. | :15:34. | |
Urgent work has been carried out to repair flood defences with the | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
prospect of a fresh storm hitting parts of northern England already | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
badly affected. A would-be suicide bomber and his | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
wife have been found guilty of planning a terror attack in London | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
earlier this year. An Islamic State leader with direct | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
links to the ring leader of the Paris attacks has been killed by US | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
strikes in Syria. Thousands of people | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
with disabilities are spending too long on housing authority lists, | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
with some waiting up to 12 years The disability charity | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
Leonard Cheshire says the number of people waiting has risen by 7% | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
in the last five years. The Government says it plans | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
to build 8,000 homes for disabled and elderly people in England, | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
but campaigners say Our disability correspondent | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Nikki Fox reports. Just getting a house | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
is hard enough for anyone, but imagine you have a home, | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
but struggle to even get Of all the houses in England, | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
just 5% are accessible. This is what you have to deal | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
with everyday, isn't it? We have four flights of stairs | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
and we cannot invite you upstairs, not even for a cup | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
of tea, I'm afraid. Stacey's daughter May | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
has brain damage. She can't support her weight in any | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
way, so she can't wrap her arms Stacey is currently | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
in remission from leukaemia. She has been on the housing waiting | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
list for three years and only in the past five months have | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
they been seen a priority. Physically, it has been very | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
difficult, very challenging because there is no | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
disabled housing available. So even being in the highest band, | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
we still had to wait a while. Figures from the disability charity, | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Leonard Cheshire, suggest the number of disabled people on the housing | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
authority waiting lists has increased by 7% over | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
the last five years. The Government plans to build | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
200,000 new homes for young This is one of the recommended | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
designs and as you can see, it's not going to be easy for anyone | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
in a wheelchair to get Issues of accessibility come very | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
low down on the list. Our concern is that those should be | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
thought about as a real fundamental principle about the kind of homes | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
that we should be building now and in the future, not | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
as something that we think The Government says the starter home | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
designs do not take into account accessibility issues which are down | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
to local authorities to implement through the new improved | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
building regulations. They say there are also plans | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
to build 8,000 specialist homes Five months on and this | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
is Stacey's new home. When we first wheeled May in, | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
it was absolutely thrilling. It is what is known | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
as a lifetime home. The white doors, the level access, | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
the seemingly small things that make -- the wide doors, the level access, | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
the seemingly small things that make such a massive difference. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
It's made our home easy to live in, like it is for everyone else, | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
I never worry that I'm going to drop my daughter | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
With Government saying it is down to local authorities | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
and with councils saying they are too cash-strapped to meet | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
demand, there will be many like Stacey and May waiting too long | :19:19. | :19:20. | |

He went on to join Hawkwind, supplying the vocals | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
They tried everybody else singing it, except me, because I was | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
Then they had to ask me to try it because nobody else could do it. | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
Ejected from Hawkwind, he formed Motorhead. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
# Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil, | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
# Going with the flow, it's all the game to me #. | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
Decades later, the line-up may have changed, but Lemmy remained | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
at the helm throughout, still playing to thousands | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
as recently as this year's Glastonbury. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
# You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
# But that's the way I like it baby #. | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
They may not have been to everyone's taste, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
but they're regarded as a key British band. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
The style he played his bass guitar was very kind of unique. | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
You know, it was fast and it was ugly and it was distorted | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
and that kind of characterised Motorhead's sound, but it also went | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
on to influence so many different other kind of types of music | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
For decades he embraced all aspects of rock excess, perhaps mellowing | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
though in later years as he approached the role | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
# You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
# You broke my will, oh what a thrill. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
# Goodness gracious, great balls of fire #. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Fellow musicians have been paying tribute. | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
Ozzy Osbourne described him as a "warrior and legend." | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
Metallica said, "Lemmy was one of the primary | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
And, Alice Cooper said, "he was one of a kind, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
innovative, true to his art and an icon." | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
# Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright #. | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
Fans across the globe will also miss a man who was undoubtedly one | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
The tributes to Lemmy Kilmister, who has died at the age of 70. | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
Huw Edwards will be here at 10.30 with the day's top stories, | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
but first sport, and for a full round-up we go to the BBC Sport | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Leicester have missed their chance to return to the top | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
of the Premier League after being held to a goalless draw | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
by Manchester City at the King Power Stadium. | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
Despite being the two top scoring teams in the league neither | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Kasper Schmeichel was the busier of the two goalkeepers making key | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
The league's joint top scorer Jamie Vardy spurned the home side's | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
best chance of the match late in the first half. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
And City will feel aggrieved that Sergio Aguero wasn't awarded | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
a penalty after he was brought down by Gokhan Inler just | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
The result leaves Leicester level on points with Arsenal, | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Derby missed the chance to go back to the top of the championship. | :23:13. | :23:36. | |
Earlier it looked like the game wouldn't be broadcast after Massimo | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Chelino, who barred cameras from entering the stadium, in a dispute | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
over fixtures being moved for live coverage. Leeds fans watching at | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
home might have wished it still wasn't covered. Derby went | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
They took the lead through a second-half header. | :23:57. | :24:11. | |
Elsewhere in the Championship Daryl Murphy gave Ipswich the win | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
at Brighton, Cardiff City drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
and Cauley Woodrow scored twice as Fulham beat Rotherham 4-1. | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
Steven Naismith is due to join Norwich next month. He has started | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
only four league matches this season. He scored a hat-trick after | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
coming on as a substitute against Chelsea in September.. | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
Tributes are being paid today to the former Newcastle United | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
and Czech Republic goalkeeper Pavel Snicek, who has died | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
Srnicek was in an induced coma since having a cardiac arrest last | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
week, and his agent confirmed that a decision was taken to switch | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
off his life support machine earlier today. | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer wrote on twitter that | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
he's "so very sad to lose my friend and former teammate," while fellow | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
keeper Peter Schmeichel described him as a gentleman | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
England are closing in on victory against South Africa | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Needing a record 416 runs to win, the home side ended | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
South Africa were set the highest ever chase to save the match. Three | :25:18. | :25:34. | |
wickets from Steven Finn reduced the hosts to 136-4 at the close. Still | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
280 runs behind England. They've got high quality players to | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
come, people with Test hundreds. We don't look at this that way. We look | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
at every single wicket. We want to get all ten. De Villiers would be a | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
big one to get. He's such a great player. We come back tomorrow with | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
six wickets to get and I don't care who six batsmen we get out as long | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
as we get six wickets and for less runs than we have. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
The 20-year-old was three spots outside automatic qualification | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
when the entry lists were released earlier this month. | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
But world number nine Gasquet has now pulled out with a back injury. | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
Edmund made his Davis Cup debut for Great Britain in their victory | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
over Belgium in the final last month. | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
That's all the sport for now. Here's the weather now. | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
Good evening. It's not any old storm that's heading our way, but a | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
weather bomb. Storm Frank has undergone explosive cyclogenisis, | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
rapid deepening at the centre of an area of low pressure. Tip cull hook | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
to the cloud there. The storm is going to get swept northwards | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
towards Iceland, a real battering here. In the UK we're seeing the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
winds picking up and heavy rain moving slowly eastwards. Gales are | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
likely this evening and into the night. Gusts of 80mph across the | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
outer isles of Scotland. It's the am of rain that's the biggest concern. | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
We have amber rain warnings from the Met Office. Given that the rain is | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
already falling on saturated ground there will be further impacts | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
expected. Warnings are out across Northern Ireland. 60 millimetres of | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
rain here over the hills. Could be double that across the hills of | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
south-west Scotland, North West England, chiefly Cumbria. That's a | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
good four inches or more over the hills. Some heavy rain over the | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
hills of Wales and the south-west of England too. That band of heavy rain | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
bit morning should have cleared from Northern Ireland. Wet across | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
Scotland, across the north of England, Wales and the western side | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
of England. The rain moves slowly eastwards. As it does, the winds | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
gradually lessen. Gusty in the north, where we're drier through the | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
afternoon for Scotland, Northern Ireland, a drier day here. Western | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
parts of England and Wales should dry off too. Another very mild day, | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
but with the mild air, comes a lot of cloud and rain. That weather | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
front should sweep the rain clear of south-eastern areas overnight. Then | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
we're into a mixture of sunshine and showers. It should be a decent | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
morning for eastern areas of the UK with sunshine. But the shower bands | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
come into the west and push their way eastwards into the afternoon. | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
These bands of showers are going to be accompanied by gusty winds, heavy | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
with hail and thunder and snow over the hills across the northern. -- | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
north. Most of the showers clear on that weather front. In time for the | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
clocks striking midnight we're into colder air. Those temperatures | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
dropping away. There'll ab widespread frost. -- there'll be a | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
widespread frost. It looks like it should be dry by then. Very | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
different to what we're seeing right now. Still severe flood warnings. | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
There's the flood line number and the other warnings are | :28:52. | :28:52. |
