already - and it's not over. There's a risk to life.

:00:13.:00:18.

This latest storm hit the South West first before heading up the country

:00:19.:00:21.

- there's already been widespread damage. The gales have now started

:00:22.:00:32.

hitting the coastline. These wind speeds would be considered

:00:33.:00:36.

extraordinary out on the open sea but what makes it exceptional is

:00:37.:00:39.

they are hitting inland. A month's rain is expected in the

:00:40.:00:42.

next few days alone - in some places the Thames could reach its highest

:00:43.:00:45.

level for more than 60 years. We'll be asking what's been causing

:00:46.:00:52.

the extreme weather. Also tonight: Guilty - the two men who helped the

:00:53.:00:55.

serial killer Joanna Dennehy during her 12-day killing spree.

:00:56.:00:57.

The Bank of England governor says interest rates will stay low for

:00:58.:01:01.

another year, as he gives a more optimistic economic forecast. Now we

:01:02.:01:11.

know it's not random. The men who went behind enemy lines

:01:12.:01:15.

to rescue art looted by the Nazis - George Clooney tells us why he

:01:16.:01:18.

wanted to make the film. Tonight on BBC London:

:01:19.:01:22.

The rescues continue - we're out with the emergency services still

:01:23.:01:24.

helping flooded families. And the Londoner who posted videos

:01:25.:01:27.

glorifying the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.

:01:28.:01:46.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. Hurricane force winds

:01:47.:01:54.

have been battering the west of Britain today. It follows a red

:01:55.:01:58.

warning from the Met Office - the first this winter - meaning there's

:01:59.:02:01.

a risk to life and widespread damage is expected. About 60,000 homes are

:02:02.:02:05.

without power, several motorways have been closed and a section of

:02:06.:02:09.

the West Coast Main Line will be shut from seven this evening for a

:02:10.:02:13.

couple of hours. Wind speeds of 108 mph have already been recorded at

:02:14.:02:19.

Aberdaron in Wales. The South West was the first to feel the brunt of

:02:20.:02:22.

this latest storm, before it worked its way up the country through Wales

:02:23.:02:28.

and the North West of England. As if that's not enough, forecasters are

:02:29.:02:31.

warning that a month's rain will fall in the next few days. Tonight

:02:32.:02:35.

we'll have the latest from the flood zones, and we'll be asking what's

:02:36.:02:39.

behind this extreme weather. First, Hywel Griffith is in Criccieth in

:02:40.:02:42.

North Wales, which has felt the full force of the storm.

:02:43.:02:54.

George, welcome to the red zone, a place which has experienced wind

:02:55.:03:00.

speeds of over 100 mph. A place where everyone I've spoken to today

:03:01.:03:04.

has said one thing - they cannot remember anything like this before.

:03:05.:03:08.

It is a place where the number of homes without power is increasing

:03:09.:03:12.

hour by hour. This has quite simply been an extraordinary day.

:03:13.:03:24.

What will nature throw at us next? As horror came conditions reached

:03:25.:03:29.

West Wales, they triggered sandstorms on the coast. --

:03:30.:03:36.

hurricane conditions. I'm over 60 years old and haven't seen anything

:03:37.:03:39.

like this. We haven't had a break-up really. Day after day. It's really

:03:40.:03:46.

building up, the wind, and you can feel it pushing up your body and up

:03:47.:03:50.

your clothes. Anybody would be advised to stay at home today. It's

:03:51.:03:57.

amazing. Let's hope it stops soon, cos we're getting rather fed up with

:03:58.:04:03.

it. Dozens of schools were forced to close their doors. Few want to do

:04:04.:04:08.

hang around as the storm took hold. It's horrendous. It's the worst

:04:09.:04:12.

weather I've ever worked on. The children were coming out crying

:04:13.:04:18.

because the sound was hurting them. John Dunn has decided to evacuate

:04:19.:04:23.

his home. The caravans on the site he runs are being chained down in

:04:24.:04:28.

case they are carried by the gusts. It feels as though I'm in the middle

:04:29.:04:31.

of a nightmare and someone is going to pinch me and make we up but I

:04:32.:04:34.

know that's not going to happen. -- wake me up. For several months the

:04:35.:04:40.

coastal defences have been tested and all people living here can do is

:04:41.:04:44.

hang on and wait to see what the latest storm will bring and how much

:04:45.:04:51.

destruction it leaves behind. As the gales swept inland, they brought

:04:52.:04:57.

down trees and mangled power lines, leaving over 50,000 homes without

:04:58.:05:01.

power. These are not seafaring conditions. Ferries were unable to

:05:02.:05:07.

make it onto the Irish Sea. The coasts have to be kept clear. The

:05:08.:05:13.

waves are impressive but be aware that there is a lot of day bree

:05:14.:05:22.

inside the wave. -- debriefed. These exceptional conditions are spread

:05:23.:05:27.

around Britain's coastline. In Lyme Regis, the waves grew with every

:05:28.:05:33.

hour. In Plymouth, seaside shops and businesses had to prepare for the

:05:34.:05:39.

worst. At the Met Office's own weather centre in Exeter, the

:05:40.:05:42.

growing force of the wind was clear. It has issued a red warning. It's a

:05:43.:05:49.

rare warning. We don't often issue a red warning. The last time we issued

:05:50.:05:53.

a red warning for wind was two years ago. Forecasters promised these

:05:54.:05:59.

winds will eventually lost but Britain's brutal winter remains with

:06:00.:06:02.

us and won't be forgotten for some time.

:06:03.:06:06.

Our correspondents have been out and about as the storms headed inland

:06:07.:06:09.

off the Atlantic. In a moment, we'll hear from Judith Moritz in

:06:10.:06:13.

Blackpool. But first, Jon Kay is in Lyme Regis - one of the first places

:06:14.:06:20.

to feel the full force of the winds. Jon, it still looks bad with you.

:06:21.:06:26.

Yeah, these southerly winds just slapped a straight into the south

:06:27.:06:31.

coast of England mid-morning today and here we are nine hours later at

:06:32.:06:34.

high tide and it is still unbelievably windy. People say that

:06:35.:06:40.

even by the standards of this terrible winter, this is the

:06:41.:06:42.

windiest and wildest they've known it. I'm quite a big bloke and this

:06:43.:06:52.

afternoon I was inside the sheltered part of a famous landmark year in

:06:53.:06:55.

Lyme Regis and it was almost impossible to stand up there. And

:06:56.:07:00.

the spray as it hits your exposed hands was like pins or needles were

:07:01.:07:05.

being stuck into your skin because it was so hard with the rain and the

:07:06.:07:10.

spray from the sea. It is a sign of The Times that over the last couple

:07:11.:07:13.

of weeks we've seen people out here taking pictures of the waves. Today,

:07:14.:07:19.

it's been too wild even for that. It isn't just Lyme Regis. This whole

:07:20.:07:23.

post has taken the brunt of it as it has carried on its journey up into

:07:24.:07:29.

other parts of the country. We can cross to Blackpool and that's where

:07:30.:07:34.

Judith Moritz is. Judith, all this is heading to you!

:07:35.:07:46.

So sorry. Very, very difficult conditions, as you can imagine, so

:07:47.:07:52.

we've lost to Judith. We might go back to her later if we can.

:07:53.:07:58.

Our science editor David Shukman is here. Look at what Judith was

:07:59.:08:03.

putting up with their! Phenomenal conditions. Take a look at this

:08:04.:08:08.

video to get a sense of the scale of what's happening. These are

:08:09.:08:11.

satellite pictures over the last fortnight. Britain is in the top

:08:12.:08:16.

right-hand corner. You can see this barrage of storms crossing the

:08:17.:08:21.

Atlantic, driven by the jet stream. The Met Office says they reckon the

:08:22.:08:27.

path of the jet stream is partly governed by the cold spell we've

:08:28.:08:31.

heard about in America. That was partly the result of a jet stream in

:08:32.:08:34.

the Pacific so there's a kind of global chain reaction in the weather

:08:35.:08:39.

and right now, unfortunately, we are at the wrong end of it. We hear

:08:40.:08:43.

people saying this is about climate change. Scientists who study this so

:08:44.:08:48.

they cannot give a definitive answer to that. More research us to be

:08:49.:08:52.

undertaken. But they point to a couple of things. One is unusually

:08:53.:08:56.

warm to bridge is in the Atlantic waters, which can drive the increase

:08:57.:09:03.

in the atmosphere. Secondly, they talk about increasing intensity of

:09:04.:09:05.

the storms the Atlantic. Nothing definitive. But if global warming is

:09:06.:09:13.

involved, there will probably be more scenes like this in the days

:09:14.:09:15.

and weeks ahead. Well, as we've seen, the storm is

:09:16.:09:19.

bringing more rain with it. Today, the Prime Minister repeated his

:09:20.:09:22.

pledge to spare no effort in helping flooded communities to get back on

:09:23.:09:26.

their feet. He said ?5,000 will be available for households and

:09:27.:09:28.

businesses to protect their properties for the future. There'll

:09:29.:09:35.

be a ?10 million fund for farmers. And businesses could qualify for a

:09:36.:09:41.

100% rate relief. But, of course, the crisis isn't

:09:42.:09:44.

over for thousands of people. Our environment correspondent Claire

:09:45.:09:54.

Marshall is in Datchet. You can see, George, the centre of

:09:55.:09:59.

Datchet is still under water. The people here were first flooded in

:10:00.:10:03.

January. The first thing they put on in the morning is a pair of

:10:04.:10:06.

Wellington boots. There has been military action here over the course

:10:07.:10:09.

of the day and people are just getting used to what life is like in

:10:10.:10:15.

a flood zone. The new landscape of southern

:10:16.:10:19.

England - ground water levels at record highs and it could be like

:10:20.:10:24.

this for months. Look closer. What is actually in the floodwater? We

:10:25.:10:30.

brought a microbiologist to a Surrey home. The Thames is now running

:10:31.:10:37.

through this house. It is a small abs all but pad and it has been

:10:38.:10:45.

soaked in a substance which is a food that encourages the growth of

:10:46.:10:49.

certain bacteria. This testing kit has been used in disaster zones all

:10:50.:10:53.

over the world, from the Congo to the Philippines. Inside, a cosy

:10:54.:10:59.

environment for bacteria, trapped on the membrane, fed and multiplied.

:11:00.:11:06.

The results won't be pleasant. Today, it's a 16 hours on and the

:11:07.:11:11.

storms are back again. But the results are in. Let's see what's in

:11:12.:11:18.

the floodwater. It shows a high-level of contamination of the

:11:19.:11:20.

bacteria associated with faecal matter. If you can avoid it, don't

:11:21.:11:24.

go near it and make sure you take essential precautions. But it isn't

:11:25.:11:29.

just the physical dangers of the floods - it's the mental pressures.

:11:30.:11:34.

Darren's just heard things might get much worse and history may be

:11:35.:11:39.

flooded to save another larger area. -- his street. The last thing we

:11:40.:11:45.

heard is that the army are considering putting a complete

:11:46.:11:47.

sandbag wall down the centre of the road and flooding these houses even

:11:48.:11:52.

more. They're talking one metre, to save others. Which I can understand

:11:53.:11:58.

but is not nice news to hear when you are fighting day and night. And

:11:59.:12:05.

it is affecting his family. It's the only house I've grown up in and the

:12:06.:12:09.

fact that they might flood us to save other people - well, they say

:12:10.:12:14.

they're saving other people - I don't think it's fair. But how do

:12:15.:12:21.

you react to this - a situation that has never been faced before? At

:12:22.:12:29.

today's Cobra committee meeting, the man coordinating the military

:12:30.:12:34.

response said that two -- 2000 military personnel are involved.

:12:35.:12:39.

I've seen a fair bit of command and control in my career and we're

:12:40.:12:42.

seeing a really good multi-agency co-ordinated effort. It's a really,

:12:43.:12:47.

located problem in the face of an unparalleled natural crisis.

:12:48.:12:53.

Difficult decisions are being taken in other parts of the country. In

:12:54.:12:58.

Winchester, these sandbags will block the river itching. It will

:12:59.:13:02.

save 100 homes but sent millions of gallons of floodwater elsewhere. --

:13:03.:13:13.

River Itchen. Here, ?10 million has been spent on defences. They have

:13:14.:13:15.

been built up and are holding for the moment.

:13:16.:13:19.

And you can get all the latest on the severe weather on the BBC News

:13:20.:13:21.

website - that's bbc.co.uk/news. And there are, of course,pdates on your

:13:22.:13:29.

BBC Local Radio and TV stations. In today's other news, two men have

:13:30.:13:32.

been found guilty of helping Joanna Dennehy - the woman who admitted

:13:33.:13:35.

killing three men in Cambridgeshire last March. Gary Stretch was

:13:36.:13:39.

convicted of attempted murder; Leslie Layton was found guilty of

:13:40.:13:44.

preventing the burial of two men. Ed Thomas reports.

:13:45.:13:52.

A female serial killer like no other. Joanna Dennehy wanted to kill

:13:53.:13:57.

as many men as she could, painfully and violently. Today, her

:13:58.:14:03.

accomplices were found guilty at Cambridge Crown Court. This man,

:14:04.:14:10.

seven Gary Stretch, helped her. So too did petty criminal Leslie

:14:11.:14:14.

Layton. For the first time, those who face the killer can tell their

:14:15.:14:18.

stories. What could you see her doing? Stabbing me repeatedly. She

:14:19.:14:25.

was stabbing me in the chest. Speaking exclusively to BBC News,

:14:26.:14:30.

John Rogers was stabbed 40 times by John Dennehy as he walked his dog.

:14:31.:14:39.

-- Joanna Dennehy. She said, "look, you're bleeding. I'd better do so

:14:40.:14:45.

more". When it did finally stop, I just thought, "well, this is it. I'm

:14:46.:14:53.

going to die". This police CCTV was taken minutes after she attacked

:14:54.:14:57.

John Rogers. She was calm, even joking. Listen to her answer when

:14:58.:15:00.

asked if she is dependent on drugs. That hectic week began here in pita

:15:01.:15:16.

bread, with three murders. The first to die was her boyfriend, Lukasz

:15:17.:15:22.

Slaboszewski. Next was John Chapman, her housemate. The final

:15:23.:15:26.

victim was Kevin Lee, her landlord and lover. All were stabbed through

:15:27.:15:32.

the heart. The bodies were taken here, dumped and forgotten, murdered

:15:33.:15:37.

by Joanna Dennehy, someone they thought was a friend. Someone they

:15:38.:15:42.

thought they could trust. Instead, they were all killed for her own

:15:43.:15:47.

enjoyment. And all this from a mother once responsible for two

:15:48.:15:51.

children. By the time she killed, she was an alcoholic who had

:15:52.:15:56.

abandoned her family. I hope she never sees daylight again, ever.

:15:57.:16:02.

This is Joanna Dennehy's sister. In her first TV interview, she said

:16:03.:16:06.

Joanna rebelled. The child they once knew became someone they no longer

:16:07.:16:11.

recognised. There was a girl that we loved and then turned into a

:16:12.:16:15.

monster. I don't think you can describe it any other way. Can you

:16:16.:16:19.

understand at all why she's done this? No and, to be honest, I don't

:16:20.:16:26.

think I'd want to understand how a human being is capable of doing so

:16:27.:16:31.

much damage. So, what motivated to an Dennehy, a psychopath with

:16:32.:16:35.

several personality disorders? On the run from police, she came to

:16:36.:16:40.

this house. Inside was Sean Keeble, one of the few to ask her why. She

:16:41.:16:45.

just felt happy that she was like a murderer or something. She told us

:16:46.:16:50.

she was wanting to write a book about it. She wanted to be a serial

:16:51.:16:54.

killer, someone well-known and write a book and be famous. And with this,

:16:55.:17:01.

no remorse or regret. Joanna Dennehy will be sentenced next week.

:17:02.:17:08.

Our top story this evening: Hurricane force winds batter

:17:09.:17:14.

Britain. The Met Office issues its first red warning of the winter.

:17:15.:17:16.

And coming up. Are you not a little old for that?

:17:17.:17:27.

Yes. We talk to George Clooney about the

:17:28.:17:30.

inspiration for his latest film. Later on BBC London: The animal

:17:31.:17:34.

victims of the floods. We're with the rescuers taking pets and

:17:35.:17:36.

livestock to safety. And the man who inspired Beyonce.

:17:37.:17:38.

The incredible Japanese dancer bringing his ground-breaking moves

:17:39.:17:39.

to London. Interest rates are likely to stay at

:17:40.:17:51.

their record low level of half of one per cent, despite strong growth

:17:52.:17:53.

forecasts and unexpectedly good unemployment figures. That was the

:17:54.:18:02.

guidance from the Bank of England 's opener Mark Carney today. But he

:18:03.:18:10.

warned that Britain 's recovery was "neither balanced nor sustainable"

:18:11.:18:11.

as yet. Our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym, reports.

:18:12.:18:19.

Forward guidance and interest rates, was Mark Carney 's big idea when he

:18:20.:18:24.

arrived Bank of England last summer, today the government faced with

:18:25.:18:27.

unexpected developments in the economy had to announce an overhaul.

:18:28.:18:30.

Growth is stronger this year and lower -- and he believes the repair

:18:31.:18:38.

job in the economy is not yet complete. The economy is not yet

:18:39.:18:47.

balanced or sustainable. A few quarters of a love trend growth or

:18:48.:18:55.

not sufficient. One illustration of the possible level of Banchory in

:18:56.:19:01.

the medium term can be derived from the latest forecast of the bank that

:19:02.:19:05.

is based on a market curve which itself approaches only 2% interest

:19:06.:19:12.

rate three years from now. This is a change of tactic by the Governor and

:19:13.:19:15.

his colleagues at the bank, it interest rate decisions had been

:19:16.:19:20.

focused on unemployment falling to a certain level but now the 7%

:19:21.:19:24.

threshold has nearly been reached, policymakers will concentrate on a

:19:25.:19:30.

range of economic variables. So what do businesses make of it? This

:19:31.:19:34.

Barnsley -based engineering firm invested in new machinery after the

:19:35.:19:38.

Bank of England 's assurances about low rate last summer. The boss has

:19:39.:19:44.

urged the bank not to abandon its commitment to keeping a lid on

:19:45.:19:48.

borrowing. We would like to see interest rates remaining glow and

:19:49.:19:51.

knowing what is going to happen in the long term is important. --

:19:52.:19:57.

while. Critics argued the Bank of England 's and ability has been

:19:58.:20:01.

dented because it forecast was wrong and it has dropped the threshold.

:20:02.:20:06.

The bank argues it simply moved into a new phase and the challenge now is

:20:07.:20:16.

how to communicate its views. The BBC has learned the

:20:17.:20:18.

Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats were declared

:20:19.:20:21.

tomorrow whether forms a government will not agree to allow an

:20:22.:20:26.

independent Scotland to use the pound. Our correspondent is in

:20:27.:20:35.

Westminster. George Osborne and as that -- and Ed

:20:36.:20:41.

Balls are agreeing, and Danny Alexander. We say the weather is in

:20:42.:20:46.

the Treasury after the next election, whatever government it is,

:20:47.:20:52.

Tory or Labour or a coalition, they would not agree to share the pound

:20:53.:20:57.

with an independent of Scotland if the people of Scotland folk that we

:20:58.:21:02.

in the referendum this September. They were speaking after the

:21:03.:21:05.

publication of a Treasury review written by civil servants and not

:21:06.:21:09.

politicians that say each country would underwrite each other 's banks

:21:10.:21:15.

and spending policies. The SNP say it is threats and a deal could be

:21:16.:21:19.

reached and the three parties are saying, forget it, no way, it will

:21:20.:21:23.

not happen. Thank you.

:21:24.:21:26.

The BBC has learned the identity of the first British suicide bomber to

:21:27.:21:30.

blow himself up in Syria. He has been named as Abdul Waheed Majid, a

:21:31.:21:35.

41-year-old from Sussex. He is believed to have carried out a

:21:36.:21:37.

suicide truck bombing in Aleppo last Thursday. Detectives from the South

:21:38.:21:42.

East Counter Terrorism Unit have spent the morning searching his

:21:43.:21:49.

address in Crawley. Our home affairs correspondent, Matt Prodger,

:21:50.:21:52.

reports. This is Abdul Waheed Majid, a father

:21:53.:21:57.

of three from Crawley in Sussex. And this is his house, today searched by

:21:58.:22:02.

police who believe he carried out a suicide bombing in Syria. His family

:22:03.:22:08.

await confirmation. They last spoke to him six days ago, they thought he

:22:09.:22:15.

was an aid worker in refugee camps. The family is quite shocked,

:22:16.:22:20.

devastated. Quite confused, because they are getting this news from

:22:21.:22:27.

different sources. All they are hoping and waiting for is that

:22:28.:22:32.

somebody somewhere broken firmware he is. -- will confirm. If Abdul

:22:33.:22:48.

Waheed Majid was indeed involved... It was driven into Aleppo.

:22:49.:22:57.

Neighbours in Sussex find it hard to believe.

:22:58.:23:03.

He was always friendly, jovial. I am shocked, I feel sick. What else can

:23:04.:23:10.

you say? The BBC has been told the man who lived here, Abdul Waheed

:23:11.:23:15.

Majid, used to be part of a group run by radical Islamists in Crawley,

:23:16.:23:20.

another member of that group was jailed for life for plotting to bomb

:23:21.:23:26.

targets. Not in Syria, but in the UK. Tonight, police say no arrests

:23:27.:23:32.

have been made, there is increasing concern that the radicalisation of

:23:33.:23:39.

British men travelling to Syria find.

:23:40.:23:48.

During World War Two, a small group of men managed to get behind enemy

:23:49.:23:52.

lines and retrieve art work which had been stolen by the Nazis. The

:23:53.:23:54.

Hollywood star George Clooney was so inspired by the story that he

:23:55.:23:58.

decided to make a film about it. So he wrote, produced, directed and

:23:59.:24:01.

then gave himself a starring role in The Monuments Men. He has spoken to

:24:02.:24:04.

our arts editor Will Gompertz at the National Gallery in London.

:24:05.:24:09.

You have been tasked for finding and protect over 5 million pieces of

:24:10.:24:16.

stolen art. The Monuments Men was a wartime

:24:17.:24:19.

collective who took on the task of finding art looted by the Nazis and

:24:20.:24:25.

returning it to the museums and collectors from which it had been

:24:26.:24:27.

thundered. What was it about this story you wanted to pursue?

:24:28.:24:32.

It was my producer and writing partner, Grant, we were sitting on

:24:33.:24:37.

the floor of my office and we said every film we do is cynical and

:24:38.:24:47.

angry, and have we, -- and angry. We should do something that has got a

:24:48.:24:52.

happy ending, where the good guys will win. This is a model of his

:24:53.:24:56.

planned museum. One of the biggest in the world.

:24:57.:25:03.

It will be hard to fill it. Hitler bombed London. I know.

:25:04.:25:11.

It is a tricky subject. You mention Rembrandt and people start snoring.

:25:12.:25:17.

I do not know much about art, I grew up in Kentucky, what we came to

:25:18.:25:23.

understand was in telling this story that it was so much less about a

:25:24.:25:26.

specific piece of art and so much more about Hitler was trained to

:25:27.:25:31.

do, which was systematically not just kill you and conquer you, but

:25:32.:25:39.

to make it as if you never existed. It hasn't had fantastic views. It

:25:40.:25:46.

was received well in Germany and Italy, sometimes you hit the box.

:25:47.:25:52.

I sat at the premiere and they loved it and they cheered, I have been

:25:53.:25:57.

beaten up a lot. Millions of pieces of art were found

:25:58.:26:01.

and returned but thousands more remain missing or the ownership is

:26:02.:26:06.

contested, suggesting there is still a role to play for The Monuments Men

:26:07.:26:10.

today. The last time we tried, our link

:26:11.:26:23.

broke down because conditions were bad, it was looking atrocious.

:26:24.:26:31.

It is absolutely extraordinary here. Like Paul is blowing all over the

:26:32.:26:39.

place. -- back Paul. Various disruption across the Northwest.

:26:40.:26:44.

Most notably on the road where the M6 has been closed and the 62 closed

:26:45.:26:50.

high sided vehicles, and the railways, the West Coast Main is

:26:51.:26:57.

being disrupted and close. Because from Euston, Virgin Trains have

:26:58.:27:00.

suspended services. And we are hearing about damaged stations at

:27:01.:27:10.

Crewe. A fire began here. Also at Manchester Airport, it has been

:27:11.:27:13.

damaged because of high winds. Crewe station, 500 people have been taken

:27:14.:27:21.

to nearby hotels. This is not the worst yet. Wind speeds have reached

:27:22.:27:31.

up to 98 mph. Time to get out of the wind!

:27:32.:27:37.

Time for a look at the all-important weather. Here is Jay Wynne.

:27:38.:27:44.

Has been incredible weather today, wet weather and the strength of wind

:27:45.:27:53.

has been incredible, an unusual red weatherworn ink from the Met Office.

:27:54.:27:59.

-- red weather warning. Only take a journey if it is absolutely

:28:00.:28:06.

necessary. A large part of the UK can expect very violent winds. This

:28:07.:28:12.

is the culprit, cloud and low-pressure coming in from the

:28:13.:28:16.

Atlantic. Bringing further strong winds and heavy rainfall. Let's

:28:17.:28:21.

focus on the winds, it using down, but still 90 mph or more into the

:28:22.:28:28.

West of Wales -- using down. 89 per hour gusts across the North West of

:28:29.:28:33.

England. The Isle of Man getting a battering, and parts of Northern

:28:34.:28:37.

Ireland. Over the Pennines, atrocious travelling conditions

:28:38.:28:59.

here. Rain, snow, gales, it keep up-to-date on your local radio. At

:29:00.:29:01.

the centre of that low pressure, more of that tonight. A bit of snow

:29:02.:29:08.

in Northern Ireland and further South. As temperatures get close --

:29:09.:29:13.

get close to freezing, a risk of ice on Thursday. A better day, no heavy

:29:14.:29:21.

and persistent rains, but winds not as blustery. Sunny spells and wintry

:29:22.:29:26.

showers from the West to the East, top temperature, seven, eight

:29:27.:29:30.

agrees. Will it calmed down by the end of the week? No. Had Russia

:29:31.:29:36.

heading our way and wet and windy again. That is all from

:29:37.:29:37.
