24 hours, the water has disappeared meaning people can get back in their

homes on the roads have reopened but this is the scene outside many

homes. The longings which have been ruined, broken out. No electricity

in any of these houses either. The water may have vanished, but there

is still a long way to go before this crisis is over.

One community - Glenriding - was cut off for three days.

Our correspondent Ed Thomas has spent the day there.

This was the road to Glenn Reading. Land now claimed by the water. To

the west, still no way through. These roads had been cut off for

three days. And it is easy to see why. A journey to a forgotten

village. And then you reach the disaster that is now Glenriding, a

place ripped apart in the heart of Cumbria by this unforgiving storm.

Just water, water, water, just coming down. Michelle Edgar has

lived through Cumbria and storms before but never like this. This is

a disaster, a mini disaster, for us here. This was Glenriding on Sunday

morning, the water was everywhere. Doctors and medicine had to be flown

in by air ambulance. Shops and homes are now wrecked, lives here have

been devastated. This was the drain tell, invaded by floods. It took

just minutes for this business to be washed away. Just gutted really. My

whole life I've worked for this and it's gone. Destruction, devastation,

there's nothing left, you know? This hotel isn't just Patricia's

livelihood, it is where she lives and it's the place where her

daughters call home. We were surrounded by water, fierce water,

not just still water, but raging water. But help is here now. There

is fresh food and water. People are no longer alone. It has been

disruptive, the house has been ripped out. This is our village and

our communities is that you just want to do the best for your own

community. So now it is the clear up. People, families doing what they

can, determined to get their village back. Ed Thomas, BBC News,

Glenriding, in Cumbria. Let's speak to Danny Savage

in Carlisle. What is worrying is there is more

rain to come? Yes, there is more rain forecast for tomorrow night

into Thursday but the Environment Agency have just released a

statement saying although they are slightly concerned about this

rainfall, it won't return river levels to where they were on

Saturday night. So we shouldn't have a repeat of what happened. Today the

Queen has sent a message of sympathy to everybody involved, and also a

message of thanks to all the rescue workers. As I mentioned a few

moments ago, there is no electricity on around here, that will take some

time to restore we understand. Further afield where there have been

tens of thousands of homes without electricity, most have been

reconnected but there is a request that has gone out to everyone in

Lancashire and Cumbria tonight to use that electricity very sparingly.

The grid is not up to where it should be yet. But it just looks a

mess outside. So many houses here this evening, there will have to be

skipped out to collect all of this and then you have to try drying out

the houses. There will be a lot of this in the coming days. Thank you

very much. In America,

the Republican presidential front-runner, Donald Trump,

has faced widespread condemnation He told supporters that all Muslims

should be prevented David Cameron said his words words

divisive and simply wrong. The billionaire,

who's made a series of controversial remarks throughout the presidential

race, issued his call after last Donald J Trump! Is dream of becoming

president has been propelled by his wealth and celebrity and his hard

stance on immigration but Donald Trump is now advocating a policy

Americans ordinarily associate with far right hate groups. A blanket and

an foreign Muslims entering the country. Donald J Trump is calling

for a complete and total shutdown on Muslims entering the United States

until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is

going on. The more outrageous his remarks, the more cheers and support

he seems to get. We have no choice. We have no choice. They helped make

him the front runner for the nomination. His rivals call him and

hinged... This morning on breakfast television he seemed almost revel in

the criticism. We have people who want to blow up our buildings, our

cities and we have to figure out what's going on. Last week's attack

has spread fears for America about the threat from home-grown terrorism

and are some who have applauded his comments. I think it is a good idea,

what is going on in the world right now... It sounds harsh but it is

reality. I say ship them all back. More striking has been the acid

shower of criticism. This newspaper compared him to Adolf Hitler.

American Muslims have also expressed outrage. Donald Trump sounds more

like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours. The dominant

view is that shutting out Muslims would be an American and

unconstitutional. It is worth remembering these were not

off-the-cuff remarks, they were the product of political calculation.

Donald Trump is a shrewd businessman who knows an extreme stance on

immigration however controversial and offensive has become his main

selling point. But to many he is evaluating the

very notion of the United States of America and trashing his country's

international brand. The South African athlete,

Oscar Pistorius, has been granted bail while he

awaits sentence for murdering his Judges changed his conviction from

manslaughter to murder last week, but he intends to mount an appeal at

South Africa's Constitutional Court. He faces a minimum sentence

of 15 years imprisonment In the weeks since

the Paris attacks there's been one question on everyone's lips - could

the carnage have been prevented? Now it seems there was

an attempt to arrest Abdelhameed Abaaoud - the ringleader

of the operation - months before A senior anti-terrorism source

in Belgium says Abbaoud was tracked to an apartment in Athens,

but got away. And Dell have made other food, the

ringleader of the Paris attacks. He was killed by the police five days

after the attacks took place. But the BBC has learned there was an

operation to capture him in Greece, ten months earlier, and it failed.

It was supposed to happen just before this anti-terrorism operation

in the Belgian town of Verbier on January 15. Two Islamist extremists

were killed here. But they were part of a network stretching to the other

side of Europe. Because Abbaoud was directing the jihadist cell in

Belgium by mobile phone, from here in Athens and the authorities were

on his trail. Two days after the shoot out Verbier the police here

raided two apartments, one of them in this building. We've been told by

a resident of the building that this is the apartment he was in. An

Algerian man was arrested here, and eventually extradited to Belgium.

But Abbaoud was long gone. Across town, this was the second apartment

raided. The current occupant gave us a brief glimpse inside. It is now

known traces of DNA recovered in both apartments match samples taken

from Abbaoud's body in Paris. One man is running with a gun... This

man lives next door. He described an armed police raid at the beginning

of the year. The police, they say to me, did you see somebody jumping

plasma I said, no. He said there had been a lot of people coming and

going from the apartment. They were not speaking Greek and it was always

always noisy. It is not entirely clear how Abbaoud slipped through

the net before the Verbier raid. There may have been an attempt to

track him down in this square by tracing the signal of his mobile

phone. The Greek authorities are not confirming any details. All that is

known is he got away. And Abbaoud is not the only link between Greece and

the Paris attacks. The only gunman still on the run travel to Greece by

ferry from Italy on the 1st of August, leaving three days later.

And two of the suicide bombers who attacked the stab Defrance crossed

from boat by Turkey to the island of levels in October posing as

refugees. Much of the details that has emerged in Athens raises

questions about how to create a better exchange of information and

closer cooperation between anti-terrorism authorities in

different European countries, but the link with Abbaoud is also a what

might have been. If he had been captured in Greece that in January

the attacks in Paris might never have taken place. Chris Morris, BBC

homophobic comments made by the boxing champion, Tyson Fury,

after a member It comes as the Scottish National

Party has called on the BBC to drop him from the shortlist for

Sports Personality of the Year. The BBC says he was chosen

by an independent panel and the decision was based

on his sporting achievement. Our sports correspondent, Katie

Gornall, is in Salford for us now. That's right. Ever since Tyson Fury

became Heavyweight Champion he stepped into a storm of controversy

over his personal beliefs and his place on the Sports Personality of

the Year shortlist. He has been quoting as saying a women's place is

in the kitchen and her back and legalised homosexuality along with

abortion and paedophilia that would have to happen before the devil came

home hechl ran into BBC Radio 2 to clarify his personal beliefs saying

he doesn't hit anyone. The pressure has been mounting on the BBC.

100,000 people have signed a petition calling for Furry to be

removed from the list. Today we saw the fist signs of political pressure

applied after the SNP Culture Secretary had written to Tony Hall

calling for his removal. Saying that if Fury were to win the BBC would be

endorsing what he described as homophobic views. The BBC stance has

been this is a list about sporting achievement, not an endorsement of

his views. Tonight we have heard that Greater Manchester Police are

investigating allegations of a hate crime. You would imagine that these

calls around Fury and the intensity around the BBC is only set to

continue. Many thanks, Katie. Wales' international football team

Association of Wales and its players over a bonus payment for qualifying

by farmers around the world poses a critical threat to human health,

that's according to It says the agricultural practice

of routinely giving antibiotics to livestock promotes the development

of so-called superbugs Our rural affairs correspondent,

Clare Marshall, It's clear that what the situation

is at the moment can't carry on. The world has come to rely on

antibiotics. What happens here on the shop floor, as it were, has to

change. We need to find new ways of keeping ourselves and also the

animals we rely on for food healthy. These are winter-born calves,

vulnerable to infection. Just like humans, if they are sick,

they may well be given antibiotics. On this Devonshire farm the drugs

are used sparingly, but often they aren't and this is creating

superbugs, bacteria resistant to Today's report calls for new strict

limits on their use, but the problem is that, for the moment, antibiotics

are cheap and effective. If you want good quality food,

without antibiotics, We can't produce milk like we are

at the moment and meat and lamb with the price it is

at the moment and expect to get really high welfare standards,

it's just not going to happen. Two-thirds of antibiotics are used

in agriculture, overall consumption is predicted to increase

by 70% over the next 15 years. If nothing is done,

it's feared that this could lead to Factory farming plays a large part

in creating what scientists call Last month in China,

a bacteria resistant to colistin, the antibiotic of last resort,

was found in livestock and humans. I think what will certainly happen

is that the organisms that carry this very high-level of antibiotic

resistance will invariably spread We already know it's in Laos,

we know it's in Malaysia. We have good evidence that

it's now in Vietnam. So it's just a matter of time

before it becomes global. So is setting strict limits

on antibiotic use the answer? Do you think there would be

an acceptance OK, so my personal opinion

on that is I think that's quite a dangerous route to take because

if an animal needs treatment, whether that be your pet or one of

these calves, they need treatment. What I think we should be doing is

looking the other way round, so that we can reduce it

by using it appropriately. So we only use it

when we really need it. These calves are healthy and

fortunate, born at a time when the Claire Marshall, BBC News,

near Tiverton in Devon. Not as bad as it has been. In the

last few hours the showers have been gathering momentum up into the far

north and west, as you can see. The showers have been heavy with hail

and thunder. We closed out the day across parts of North Yorkshire to

pretty ominous looking skies, sharp showers here. We even had hail

across Dumfries and Galloway, as can you see from this Weather company

watchers photograph. The temperatures will drop quite sharply

through this evening and overnight before more cloud, wind and rain

gathers in the north-west. Ahead of it, temperatures in rural parts and

the tops of high ground low single figures. Frost to sheltered areas as

well. We start off chilly. It won't be long before the wind and rain

gathers into the far north-west. We have to emphasise far north-west. We

may start off the day across parts of North Yorkshire and Lake District

with Raine, but that will ease off. The winds will become a feature,

severe gales not out of the question. Heavy rain to Northern

Ireland and western Scotland. Gusts ofs wind in excess of 70mph to the

north-west, rain to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not too bad into

the afternoon across the Lake District, sunny spells. Windy on

exposed west facing coasts and more cloud. We will see a largely dry and

sunny day acrosses England and Wales despite the winds of 30-40mph gusts.

It will feel cooler out there throughout the day. The wet and

windy weather pushes south and east overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

At the moment, it looks as though the heaviest of the rain will be

across west Wales and into the south-west. We will keep a close eye

on that. Scattered showers behind. That is it. George. Thank you very
