Good evening. You are watching BBC News with Clive Myrie. In a moment | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
we will look at tomorrow morning's papers, first the headlines. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
More than 40,000 homes have been affected by flooding and power | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
outages, after record rainfall across parts of Northern England. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
The Prime Minister says there'll be an investigation | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
The metal has warned that there could be another six inches of rain | :00:39. | :00:53. | |
within 24 hours. New homes will be built on green belt land. The | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
biggest building project for 30 years. The Guardian is talking about | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
the response of the Governments to the flooding crisis. The Daily Mail | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
looks at families affected by medical blunders and says they have | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
been fobbed off when the have met a medical content. The Express again | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
looks at the floods. Warnings of more rain on the way. Time for the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
weather. 341 millimetres of rain in this part | :01:22. | :01:44. | |
of Cumbria. Still some rain to come this evening but nowhere near as | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
significant in terms of rainfall totals. It is spreading across parts | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
of West Scotland, down towards the Lake District. We could see if other | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
ten or 30 millimetres quite widely before the night goes through. That | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
rain pushes through steadily eastwards overnight and we will see | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
a scattering of showers following on behind. Slightly quieter weather | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
conditions for the second half of the night. This weather fronts it's | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
to the East of the Pennines. Another cold night with temperatures into | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
double figures, eat or 11 degrees to greet us first thing. Tuesday | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
morning, we start off with that rain clearing, it will be bright and | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
breezy as the day continues. Sunny spells and a scattering of showers. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Widespread fraud the North and West. As they go through the day, the | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
showers, the heaviest will be across the West course, down through | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Northern Ireland and the West coast of Scotland. The Eastern areas | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
seeing some sunshine. The winds will swing to the West, sex and 8 degrees | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
the average temperatures. Once that early morning rain clears, it will | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
be a fresher today. -- six and 8 degrees. Those of high-pressure as | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
we go into Tuesday night, a cooler night to follow. We have this set of | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Atlantic, ringing in more wet and Atlantic, ringing in more wet and | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
windy weather. Especially as we move to Wednesday. Wednesday will be when | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the web gales or severe gales, particularly to the North West. It | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
will take the time for the rain to gather, it will be to the North West | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
of Scotland, elsewhere sunny spells and highs of ten or 12 Celsius. It | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
is worth stressing that yes, there is father of ten or 12 Celsius. It | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
is worth stressing that yes, there is another thing, but nowhere near | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
as extreme as the weather event of the weekend. Also some dry spells. | :03:43. | :04:06. | |
You are watching BBC News with Clive Myrie. We will look at the | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
newspapers in a moment. Firstly, the headlines. | :04:13. | :04:21. | |

A family that lost three people in the Glasgow bin lorry crash, | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
is to go ahead with a private prosecution of the driver after an | :04:41. | :04:43. | |

top. And we will give you more information on BBC Sport personality | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
of the year. Firstly, The Papers. A good evening and welcome to our | :05:25. | :05:50. | |
look ahead to The Papers. We speak to the political commentator, | :05:51. | :06:03. | |
Miranda Green. And also Christopher Hope, the chief political | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
correspondent for the Telegraph. Here are the latest headlines... | :06:12. | :06:36. | |
The Financial Times leads with the news that oil prices have reached | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
their lowest level for almost seven years. | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
the success of the French far-right party the Front National in the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
country's regional elections and says mainstream politicians are | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
The Metro warns that the flood-affected areas | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
hit by another six inches of rain over the next 24 hours. | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
says thousands of new homes are set to be built on green belt land in | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
what it calls "the biggest relaxation of planning protection | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
The Guardian leads with the floods in Cumbria, saying that | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
the Prime Minister is coming under pressure to review the government's | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
And The Mail carries a criticism from the health | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
ombudsman that families affected by medical blunders are being fobbed | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Only one place to begin, Miranda Green, with the floods. | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
Yes, terrible news. You cannot imagine what that must be like, | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
clearing out your home after the last day of edge and expecting and | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
waiting for another one. Watching people on the news programmes, it is | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
the idea that it is Christmas time, the time of year when everyone wants | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
to be at home with the family and also, for a lot of people, you think | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
of the people from Carlile, the thought that the flood defences had | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
been put in place, especially after the last appalling flood, and here | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
they are again. We all just feel for them so much. Carlisle. -- Carlile. | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
In one case, the metal looks at a family who had been flooded a few | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
years ago, they had new defences built and still the same problem. So | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
much rainfall in 24 hours. No wonder people are wondering where has all | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
the money gone, the company is doing its best and they are trying to do | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
with this problem and spend money accordingly. It happens while we are | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
looking at the issues of global warming in Paris. Perhaps there is a | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
connection there. Jeremy Corbyn has said that the weather is very bad. | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
This is going to be a pattern looking forward. The science is | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
clear, murk warmer air means it can hold more moisture. It is a simple | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
as that. Even climate change deniers, or at least those that | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
leave it is not man made responsible for that, they would agree with that | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
sentiment. The front page of the Daily Mail, the photograph, after | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
the flood, the clean-up, what you were seeing, Miranda, you know, | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
coming up to Christmas, people have the presence, all of the festive | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
tinsel, whatever, it has been destroyed. It is awful. Yes, this | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
pro-women on the front page of mild, desperately trying to get rid | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
of all of the mud and the sludge. -- this poor woman. The feeling that | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
you know that she might have to do it all over again in a few days' | :09:44. | :09:55. | |
time. It is quite upsetting. It is not clean water, it is dirty and | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
smelly water, that picture captures the misery of the old thing really | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
well. But what does the government do? The front page of the Telegraph, | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
record rainfall and more flooding on the way. This was a freak | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
occurrence, but as we have discussed, there was a freak | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
occurrence two years ago, there is a pattern, there seems to be something | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
going on. Is it simply the fact that, Miranda, we are spending too | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
much time in five areas, that we should actually should not be living | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
in those areas? That is really difficult, because somewhere like | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Cumbria, historic towns, there is clearly an issue in some parts of | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
the UK with building on flood plains. It is debatable whether, you | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
know, some of those housing developments should have been | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
allowed to go ahead. We saw that in the flooding a few years ago. But | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
this, you know, over the last couple of days, Carlyle is an ancient | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
settlement, it was a Roman settlement. It is not a question of | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
wanting to sort of start again on an erroneous recent plan, we have got | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
to find a way like the low-lying countries of Europe have done. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Planning for this, in a country like the Netherlands, it is a major part | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
of their spending on infrastructure to make sure that the human | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
settlements are safe. We have got to be creative in terms of how we deal | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
with this problem. And we have to spend money on it. It is | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
interesting, that takes us to your story, Christopher, bold homes on | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
green belt, that is the headline. Yes, green belt is a protected area, | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
the ribbon of land around houses and cities that stops the Rubens role | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
that you see in America. It is an area for the Conservatives. They are | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
talking about building on bits of green belt. This is an argument for | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
the younger generation who have not had it as good as the older | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
generation. If they are worth less than ?250,000, outside of London, it | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
is a good opportunity, I think, for people to say, for people to release | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
the value for the younger ones, it is not a bad idea, we will wait and | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
see what happens. But some people will say, not in my | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
backyard. Absolutely, it depends on your perspective. Can you see it as | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
an important role for people to protect rural areas, defended beauty | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
of our nature? It depends whether it is at the end of your road. This | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
idea of the baby boom and people of that generation having it easy and | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
the people living no growing up and not having their own place to live, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
it is interesting to know whether that older generation is beginning | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
to worry enough about its own grandchildren to want to see action, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
so is there that intergenerational anxiety and well that allowed policy | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
to change? The government should give out the message that older | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
people, let the kids, give them a chance and let them on the housing | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
ladder. That is as old people still vote! Did I say that? Did I say | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
that? OK, there is a furious row over Tyson Fury. Miranda, you are a | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
big boxing fan, I will start with you. I live for it! This guy has | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
gone from hero to zero", the space of a few days after winning the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
heavyweight title. It has been a long time since someone from Britain | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
had that. What is the problem? It is that his unexpected victory has lead | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
to unexpected levels of media attention and I heard various people | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
on the radio today to try to defend them and say, poor Tyson Fury, he is | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
not used to this, he is not surrounded by slick PR types to tell | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
him what to say and what not to say, well, he has unfortunately said | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
a few things that he should not have said. Misogynist, slightly | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
sexist... I would say that he had quite eccentric use. Interesting way | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
of putting it! He has his own strong interpretation of religion and he | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
believes that women should have a very restricted role, essentially a | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
domestic low, and he expressed that quite literally. He is very against | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
legalising homosexuality, which would turn the clock back several | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
decades. And he has got himself into a bottle of trouble. The problem is | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
that he is on the short list for BBC Sports Personality of the Year and | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
people want him off of the short list. But who are the people? Well, | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
it is a petition. He is such an antihero, that could draw votes. | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
Well, you could take him off the list and that would stop that from | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
happening. We will go back and look at the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
headlines again later with Miranda. Now it is time for Sportsday. Thank | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
you for that | :15:43. | :15:43. |
