reputation enhanced. That's it. Starting on BBC Two now, | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Jeremy Paxman Welcome to BBC London News. River | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
levels along a 15 mile stretch of the terms have reached their highest | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
level since records began. Thames Valley Police have declared a major | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
incident as many homes have been evacuated. There is a growing | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
feeling they have been left to flood in order to save the more densely | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
populated areas of London in some areas. At the moment it is living up | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
to its name. Where leas and waders are essential footwear for the | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
people of Wraysbury. We keep barricading with sandbags. Homes had | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
barely dried out from the last flooding in January, these makeshift | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
defence is a case of damage limitation. Everything is on | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
bricks, you have to use your imagination. It is incredible what | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
you do with things. Which have things piled up to the ceiling. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
People say they are looking to the future and worrying about having | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
homes that will be repeatedly flooded and become not insurable. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
This water has not just come from nowhere, it is fast flowing. Many | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
point the finger at flood defences which they say prioritise certain | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
areas but leave them vulnerable There is a lot of land which would | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
flood that has not been allowed to flood. There is a bit of ill feeling | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
in Wraysbury and having the Army at Datchet where the levels are nothing | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
like as bad as here. But much of Chertsey remains cut off. The worst | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
ever flooding was in 1947 and that record looks like being broken. This | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
property has never flooded, the river is half a mile away, but every | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
hour it creeps closer. We feel like we have been abandoned. We need | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
advise and a plan. The Environment Agency do not have a plan, they do | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
not know what they are going to do. The agency insists they are coping. | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
More rain is a given. The questions will follow, but now the priority is | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
somehow keeping dry. Alice is in Wraysbury which has been | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
particularly badly hit. How is it looking tonight? Many people have | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
had to leave their homes, sandbags are in place, friends and neighbours | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
are helping each other. Some people are waiting around there homes | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
expecting worse to come as the water levels rise. Some people cannot get | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
to work because they cannot get their cars out the dried. There is | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
another problem on train services because flooding has disrupted train | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
services. There were problems getting out of London to the West. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
First Great Western services were suspended out of Paddington this | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
evening because of flooding in Maidenhead. Services are back up and | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
running, but they are few and far between. Tomorrow if Network Rail | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
cannot fix the problems on the rail there will be serious problems for | :03:30. | :03:52. | |
commuters tomorrow. Talks aimed at preventing a second | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
48 hour Tube strike ended without agreement. It means the strike plans | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
to start at 9pm tomorrow is still due to go ahead. Members of the RMT | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
and TSSA unions are angry over plans to close the underground's ticket | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
offices. They said they were not confident a deal could be reached. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
We are making little progress. We want to turn around and over the | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
strikes and make progress, but at this stage the company need to move. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
A BBC London undercover investigation has exposed criminal | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
gangs illegally selling and installing pay`TV services at a | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
fraction of their true crossed. Crime experts warn that hacked | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
satellite and cable TV is becoming the new norm. | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
All these sky movies. These are the fraudsters selling pay`TV at a | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
fracture of the cross. Like this shop at Upton Park, cashing in. And | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
a Venezuelan satellite installer in Greenwich. He is rather proud of his | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
blooming, criminal business. I have got many people. This is how it | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
works. We buy set`top boxes that have been encrypted to hack into | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
legitimate pay`TV services like Skype. A package of the best | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
channels can cost more than ?80 a year. Here you pay a monthly | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
subscription at a fraction of the price. All this is hitting the | :05:19. | :05:31. | |
pay`TV companies and the large numbers employed in creative | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
industries. It is a crime and it is depriving revenue to a business that | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
genuinely should have that. It is a criminal offence. This company | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
ignored us when we asked them why and so did Julio. We invited him | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
round he thinks to install a satellite dish, but he is about to | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
see a video he might recognise. That is you. That is you installing an | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
illegal set`top box. We have been recording you secretly for the last | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
few months. I am from the BBC and I want to know why you have been | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
installing illegal set`top boxes. What is your explanation? Are you | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
aware it is illegal to do what you are doing? We heard reports of | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
scores of similar fraudsters operating not just in London, but | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
across the country. A full weather forecast is coming up | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
in a moment, but first the outlook for the London weather. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
It is a pretty grim forecast. Some areas could see as much as an extra | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
two inches of rain. We have got severe flood warnings meaning a risk | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
to life for tonight down the Thames. We have got further Met | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Office warnings for heavy rain throughout the week, including one | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
for tomorrow. It should be mostly dry tonight, but quite a cold night | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
tonight. There is a dry early morning rush hour, but rain will | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
spread in from the west. We can look forward to a drier and brighter | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
afternoon. That is the local weather, now let's get the national | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
weather. Good evening. You have my permission | :07:26. | :07:43. | |
to complain about too many repeats with the British weather at the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
moment because yet again it looks as though our winter weather is set to | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
continue with a repeat of last week. Sunny spells and scattered showers | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
today and this is the next area of low pressure pushing in from the | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
west. It influences our weather for the rest of the week. More rain to | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
come and gales and severe gales to come. Ice is a possible risk. That | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
means a cumulative total perhaps or 40-70 millimetres and that is an | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
extra two to three inches. It will exacerbate the flooding we have | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
already got across England at the moment. The cloud, wind and rain is | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
already pushing in from the west. There will be a widespread frost. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Ice could be a problem first thing in Northern Ireland. Snow in the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
hills and maybe in the North East of Scotland we could see snow at lower | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
levels. Rain through northern England and Wales and Somerset. Some | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
of that rain could be quite intense coupled with squally, gusty winds on | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
exposed coasts. In the east it starts off relatively dry, but it | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
will not be long before the wind and the rain spreads further east. Up | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
into the North the snow showers continue on the hills, but by the | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
end of the afternoon we could see wet snow even at lower levels. A | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
cold day. There is a potential for some snow showers at lower levels | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
across England and Wales on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. On | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Wednesday it is this area of low pressure which is the main factor in | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Wednesday's weather. More wet and windy weather. An early amber | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
warning has already been issued from the South West. Severe gales are | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
likely as we continue to see some very wet weather coming into central | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
and southern areas. The strongest winds follow in behind those | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
showers. In Scotland you are probably wondering what the | :09:59. | :10:57. | |
