flood and storm damage is estimated at just over ?1 billion in stoppage

also says the number of households across the country at significant

damage could increase from 330,000 currently two 570,000 in 2035 as a

result of a reduction in our capacity to manage water levels.

They were warned this impact would have a real impact of flood defences

weren't kept up to the standard they needed to be so its not really

enough to now coming with this offer that only applies to Yorkshire, it's

only ?40 million, it doesn't begin to address the scale of the problem

they built up over the years. Ministers insist flood defence

spending is going up but those cleaning up after the deluge have

big questions, will it be enough, will it be spent wisely, and will it

actually make any difference next time?

Well, further flood defences are being put up in some parts

of Scotland where the authorities are preparing for further heavy

Let's go live now to Aberdeenshire and our Correspondent there.

It does look pretty miserable behind you. The rain is very persistent

here, you will see the sand bags behind me along the edge of the golf

course, they each way at home, they are enormous, they come up to my

waist and there are about 800 of them. The reason for that is because

when the River Dee burst its banks last week, it came through the golf

course into the town, flooding hundreds of houses and there are

still people here clearing up after that, still folk out of their homes,

Iran's supreme leader has warned. Nimr al-Nimr was one of 47 people

Saudi Arabia executed yesterday Protesters in Iran stormed the Saudi

embassy in Tehran late last night, setting fire to the building before

being driven back by police. Our Middle East Correspondent,

Kevin Connolly reports. It's not clear if the crowds that

gathered at the Saudi embassy in Tehran were operating

with official encouragement, but they reportedly chanted

"death to the Al-Sauds", the ruling royal family

of the desert kingdom. They threw stones and petrol

bombs at the building, Some broke into the compound

and threw papers from the roof before they were

removed by the police. Iran has said that

Saudi Arabia will pay a heavy price for the execution

of Nimr al-Nimr, with the country's supreme leader Ayatollah Khameini

warning that what he called "divine vengeance" would befall

the Saudi leaders responsible. TRANSLATION: This is really

a crime, it is a big crime. It is also a mistake

because his blood will catch up The politicians, executives

and policymakers of the Saudi government should have no

doubt that this blood will catch up with them and it

will give them hell. Almighty God will not ignore

the blood of the innocent. Saudi Arabia, the leading

figure of Sunni Islam, will have expected an angry

reaction in the Shia world, led by Iran, to the execution of

such a significant figure but it's hard to predict how long or how

intense the reaction will be. School children in England

are to face a new test of their multiplication

skills at the age of 11. A pilot scheme involving around

3,000 pupils in 80 primary schools will begin this summer,

and the tests are due to be introduced across

the country next year. To mark the 40th anniversary

of the Prince's Trust - the Prince of Wales -

has been talking about the difficulties he faced

in setting up the charity. Speaking to Ant and Dec

for an ITV documentary, Prince Charles said "people

didn't see the point". Our Royal Correspondent

Peter Hunt reports. Not in audition for Royals Got

Talent, rather than Ant and Dec documentary about the future King,

focusing on the Prince's Trust, which for 40 years has

helped disadvantaged A lot of people thought

you were pretty mad, a prince of the realm

was going to go out and help disadvantaged children

and youngsters and try and get them on the right path, people

didn't see it working. it was the same story of my life,

we had to overcome people who don't Over 40 years, the Trust

has helped more Prince Charles has been

involved all along. He relishes the challenge,

according to those who know him, and is incredibly

driven to do his duty. It's a real credit that he has

managed to keep going as he has and I really respect

and look up to him for that, because it can't be easy to have

taken so many knocks as he has and keep going and fighting

as much as he has. During filming Charles become

a grandad for the second time. He is delighted but his doting

doesn't yet extend to some duties. It's very nice having

a granddaughter. Hopefully somebody to keep an eye

on me when I'm tottering Better go the gym after all

the food you've eaten! The Sussex cricketer,

Matthew Hobden, has died he'd played first class

cricket for two seasons. Sussex Cricket Club said he'd had

a "big future ahead of him". The cause of his death

has not been disclosed. Cricket, and it's been

an extraordinary second day in Cape Town as England have taken

complete command of the second Test against South Africa -

Ben Stokes hitting a remarkable 258 and England declared

on 629 for six. Before today England spoke about

getting South Africa out of the match. Those were the words, now but

the action. It took Ben Stokes three deliveries to hit his first four, he

hardly seemed to wait that long again all morning," of an hour he

had 100. Stokes, batting like a man who believed he could stick one on

top of there. Against a team still officially at Test cricket's summit.

Some see in Stokes shades of both or Flintoff but this was an original,

his 200 or 163 balls, no Englishman is Q Cooper in Test cricket, simply

breathtaking. Johnny Bairstow had been operating in the shadows by

comparison but it is own personal record in view, he had waited a

while by his first test century. Stokes went on, tormenting South

Africa still further, sailing beyond 250, when he was eventually run out,

Alastair Cook declared shortly afterwards, there was no following

that after all, and therein lies south Africa's problem, with seven

on the board they tried to force the pace and England pounced. Sometimes

in Test cricket you need patients as well as power.
