Much more throughout the evening on the BBC News channel. We are | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
the wettest December 4/100 years. Low pressure I | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. I'm Alice Bhandhukravi. A seven`year`old boy | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
has died after he two adults became ill at a house in Chertsey which has | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
been badly affected by flooding It comes as water levels continue to | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
rise in London and the Home Counties, with parts of Surrey and | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Berkshire particularly badly affected. Here is Emma North. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
There is still no clear idea of what happened on this house in a street | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
in Chertsey last night, yards from a fast flowing Thames. Amylin screws | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
were called at around `` ambulance crews were called at about 3:30pm, | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
where a mother, father and seven`year`old boy had been taken | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
ill. The bridge has been closed since yesterday afternoon because of | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
flooding, so when ambulance crews arrived in the early hours of the | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
morning they had difficulty getting to their destination. The little boy | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
died later in hospital. His parents are still seriously ill and 15 other | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
people including some police were treated in hospital. With so many | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
affected and the source of field is not yet established, the whole | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
street remained sealed off. The police say they can't rule out that | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
what happened here may be linked to the flooding. More wind and more | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
rain is on the way. By mid`morning this morning on the other side of | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Chertsey, people were wondering how much worse things could get and who | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
they could rely on when the waters rise again. There seems to be a lack | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
of coordination between the authorities. We don't have a direct | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
telephone number that we can phone up and get all our problems | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
resolved. We need, there needs to be more coordination between the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
various authorities such as EDF Thames Water and Runnymede Council. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The local MP and Defence Secretary agreed lessons need to be learned. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
What will be necessary is to make sure that in future we have a single | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
lead public agency, it could be the local authority, it could be the | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
police, it could be the county council. All of these services are | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
bracing themselves as the bad weather returns tonight. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
We will have the latest weather later on in the bulletin. A north | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
London hospital is considering banning electronic cigarettes. The | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
cigarettes, as they are called, have proved a big success with many | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
former smokers, but a number of organisations are worried about | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
them. Sarah and John used to be smokers. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Now they inhale the vapour from their electric cigarettes. Coming in | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
all different shapes and sizes, they deliver nicotine via liquid vapours, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
offering a smoking sensation without the smoke. There is growing | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
concern. The University of London has already banned them. Some | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
countries you can only get them under medical prescription and they | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
are untested. I have to keep coming back to the fact they are untested. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
The Whittington Hospital in Highgate is the latest public body to | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
consider a ban, claiming that into line with national guidelines there | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
is insufficient evidence about their long`term safety. Speaking last | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
November the British Medical Association believe there is an | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
image problem as well. Our concern with the use of e`cigarettes is that | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
this normalises that behaviour again and our biggest concern is that | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
becomes glamorous again. But those lobbying for e`cigarettes, the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
medical profession is missing a golden opportunity. They are orders | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
of magnitude safer than smoking and the public health community needs to | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
get on board. Sarah and Johnny are happy not to be smoking cigarettes. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
A man who was found with stab wounds after crashing a car into a bus in | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Stockwell yesterday evening has died. Police have named the | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
22`year`old as Femi Junaid and believe he was stabbed in Clapham | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Road before getting into his car and colliding with the boss. They are | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
appealing for witnesses. Now with the latest on the rain | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
here is Georgina Burnett. It is a wet and windy night to come. | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
There is heavy showers coming and this strong bath `` south`westerly | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
wind continues, with temperatures down to five or six Celsius in the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
night. Winds continuing through tomorrow as well. Fairly cloudy | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
start of the day. The best of the sunshine is likely to be in the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
afternoon. By about 3pm we are reaching five or six Celsius but it | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
could go a couple of degrees above that later in the day. The strong | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
south`westerly winds and heavy showers are going to be a fairly | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
similar day today. Monday, ice may be a risk as we have a cold start to | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the day. For Tuesday and Wednesday there is an early yellow warning for | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
rain again. That is it from us. We will be back tomorrow afternoon | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
Enjoy your evening, goodbye. Good evening. Unfortunately I don't | :05:02. | :05:17. | |
have much good news in this forecast. There may be a brief | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
respite later tomorrow with the wind and the rain but it will not be long | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
enough and we have today's storm withers, pounding many coastlines in | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the south and west, hence the Amber wind warning from | :05:30. | :05:30. |
