It looks like storm after storm is coming -

People in the north-west of England, already affected by flooding, have

been warned that they could face a 'very bad situation' -

with the arrival of another storm tonight.

The extreme weather could also affect people in southern

During the day the people of York have been assessing the damage

caused in their city by the severe flooding.

So let's join our correspondent Jeremy Cooke who is there this

Let's start with the good news, the water levels which were up to here

yesterday as you can see have dramatically dropped during the

course of the day. That means for the bed-and-breakfast business and

other residents, it has been a dear of clearing out and assessing the

damage. This area is surrounded still by water and still having a

serious impact. -- a day. Tonight after days of resisting the

torrents, the bridge over the river in Tadcaster finally and

dramatically succumbed, collapsing into the water below. The impact of

these floods will be felt by this community for months to come. It is

all a reminder that this is not over yet. Despite the sunshine today,

communities along the river Ouse are still fighting to hold back the

water. The ancient city of York, struggling to emerge from the worst

floods in years. Flying over all this water in this kind of weather

looks dramatic and spectacular but even quite beautiful, but you

realise down on the ground in places like Huntington Road, things are

very ugly. The flood has left its mark here. That is the highest it

got too on Boxing Day. Jack amongst those returning home

for the first time. Their beekeeping business lost to the rising waters.

It keeps you up at night, it keeps cycling through your head. It is

terrible. You just have got to keep smiling. Around the corner it is all

hands to the pump is for this family. Calculating what has been

lost and of course the insurance. We may not claim on it if it is going

to not be the best thing to do. York is coming out of this disaster,

looking at the different 24 hours have made. But as the waters retreat

the questions for the ministers keep coming. We have spent an incredible

amount of money on flood defences in the past ten years but if more needs

to happen, more needs to happen. The focus here now is all about cleaning

up and moving on, has been destroyed and facing the

future. The worst of it is being homeless, I cannot tell you how many

offers we have had of homes and everything but it is not your own.

Would it be terrible to wish you a happy New Year. No, I'm hoping that

when this is over next year is a new start. For a few, very few, there is

actually fun to be had. For most though it is a matter of holding on,

waiting for the great flood of 2015 to pass into history. Well let's go

back to news that the bridge in Tadcaster, has collapsed tonight. An

update from the Environment Agency, they said there is now a danger that

there will be significant flooding as a result in the area, those in

the area it says are advised to evacuate immediately. The situation

is serious says the Environment Agency and they say there is a risk

to life. Let's stay in York -

because one of the city's most popular attractions -

the Jorvik Viking Centre - has been badly affected by

the floods and closed to visitors. They managed to save their most

valuable exhibits - some of which date back

to the 9th century - but there's no plan yet to reopen,

as our correspondent How does it make you feel looking at

the Museum? It is upsetting. The Yorvik Centre attracts 400,000

visitors to this historic They do not know

when it will reopen. How are you going to do

that, it is really deep? Well, yes, we've got

to find some pumps. But of course, you know,

the pumps of York are all active So we are waiting to actually get

hold of some pumps and start pumping out as the rivers go down,

to actually pump it somewhere Across town at a secret location

items rescued from the museum This is especially special to us. It

is a Viking Soc. The only It is a representation

of a significant part of York You know, the Viking period,

over 1000 years old. Superb artefacts that are not

represented anywhere else Finally, what the museum

has been waiting for. And there would have been even

more water if it wasn't Basically a member of staff noticed

that water potentially could come into the centre,

so we decided to take this door Yes, put it into place,

seal it with silicon and bitumen, It will take time for this museum

to get back on its feet. Right now they are assessing

what needs to be repaired Just one part of this historic city

that is counting the cost. As we heard, ministers have warned

of a 'very bad situation' in some areas, as Storm Frank

is expected to sweep across the north-west of England

and southern Scotland later this evening, bringing

significant rainfall Parts of Wales and Northern Ireland

are also likely to be affected. Let's join our correspondent

Robert Hall in Croston In a farmyard on the L skirts of

Boston there was some good news this afternoon. The call had gone out for

more sand has applied the team of villagers who have been working in

shifts to provide households with some protection against another

incoming storm. As dusk fell the call was answered, 50 tonnes donated

by local companies. How long has the operation been going on? Since nine

o'clock this morning. People are glad to see you, I expect. Very much

so. The muddy water of the river now flows sleepily behind the terraced

cottages but the evidence of its Christmas assault on the village

lies all along the narrow streets. The Celtic -- chaotic mess of

carpets, furniture and personal belongings. The Jones family had lit

a fire to bring a touch of homeliness to their Dem front room.

They've coped with two floods and now they fear that storm Frank may

bring another. If we are to be flooded again it is better now than

in six months' time when the houses have been put back to the shape they

were in beforehand. So there is a degree of resignation as to what the

next 48 hours could bring. A few does down is evidence of the way in

which people are providing help and comfort when most needed. I'm from

the WIA. This young lady is from the next village, all helping each

other. Poor Sarah found out today she is not insured. And no shortage

of volunteers, the offers on donations just keep coming.

Donations have been coming in from all across the village, the list of

people to thank is endless. We do not want to miss anyone out. It has

been overwhelming. Across the fields at Chinook helicopter ferried 400

tonnes of sandbags to repair the breach in local flood defences. If

the repairs held the effects may be lessened but no one is taking

anything for granted. This is the sports centre, normally a social

focus for the village but since the flood it has been an aid centre,

donations around me here to help people dry out the houses, it is

that hundreds of people, it is providing a space for families to

come to sleep, to bring their families, so they do not have to

remain in their flooded homes. If there's one thing about all this,

despite the suffering and loss that is experienced, people will remember

the generosity of those around them. A would-be suicide bomber

and his wife have been found guilty of planning a terror attack

in London earlier this year, to coincide with

the 10th anniversary Mohammed Rehman - who called

himself the Silent Bomber - had stockpiled the chemicals

needed to make a bomb Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy

has more details. A back garden in Reading,

Mohammed Rehman tests his explosive The bang was so large it

brought neighbours out. Mohammed Rahman had made his test

device with the help of Sana Khan, the woman he had married in secret

and whose salary they used to buy Mohammed Rehman lived

with his parents, who did not want their faces shown,

but told me they had no idea their son had been involved

in a terrorist plot. When I heard I thought,

oh my God, what if he'd done that, you know, made the mistake and done

it somewhere else. A lot of people would be in danger

and lost their lives. The court heard the prosecution said

that he was two days or so away from having a proper bomb and that

could have caused I'm really grateful to the police

that they came in time and saved our lives

and everyone else's lives. Rehman and Khan bought chemicals

and other equipment online. The pair idolised so-called

Islamic State and the 7/7 bombers On Twitter Mohammed Rehman called

himself the Silent Bomber and asked, "Westfield shopping centre

or London Underground? Any advice would be

appreciated greatly." A hint, say police,

of his possible targets. I still cannot believe

that he is my son and he is doing Police believe Rehman and Khan both

wanted to play their part The couple, who didn't

tell their families they had married, and who also plotted

to surprise the world Duncan Kennedy, BBC

it soon got heftier. Joe Root's touch as

been paying tribute to Lemmy - for decades the frontman of heavy

rock band Motorhead - who has died of cancer

at the age of 70. He formed Motorhead in 1975

and recorded 22 albums - Our correspondent Lizo Mzimba

looks back at his career. Fast, raucous, loud,

no one sounded or looked quite like Motorhead or their bassist

and singer Lemmy, every inch All very different to one

of his first bands, '60s A few years later he joined rock

band Hawkwind, supplying the vocals They tried everyone else

singing it except me. They had to ask me to try it

because nobody else could do it. No-one else could reach

the high notes. After being ejected from Hawkwind

he formed Motorhead. The line-ups may have changed over

the years but 40 years after he created the group,

Motorhead and Lemmy were playing to thousands as recently

as the summer's Glastonbury. It was not just noise, Lemmy was an

originator. The way he played guitar bass ugly and distorted and that

characterised the Motorhead Sound and went on to influence so many

different types of music in the years beyond. For decades he

embraced rock excesses that then matured into an elder statesman.

Fellow musicians have been playing tribute.

Ozzy Osbourne described him as a warrior and a legend.

Metallica said he was one of the primary reasons that they existed.

Fans across the globe will also miss a man who was undoubtedly one of the

great characters in rock. The tributes to Lemmy Kilmister -

who has died at the age of 70. There's more throughout the evening
