Good evening. Diggers have `rrived That's all from us. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Good evening. Diggers have `rrived on the Somerset Levels for dredging | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
of the rivers to begin, following a campaign by local people, angry with | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
the recent flooding. It comds as farmers are finally able to move | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
their animals back home. Back where they belong... At last! | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
After months of battling thd floodwaters and losing, tod`y James | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Winslade is a little happier. It is nice to see the sheds with some | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
cattle in them now. It's bedn empty, void of any noise and, you know you | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
look in and they are all happy. This was the day last month when | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
James had literally to save his cows from drowning. The floods wdre | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
closing in, the waters were rising quicker than anyone had predicted. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
550 cattle were sent to farls across Somerset. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Today, James is trying to gdt his own farm back in business, but it | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
isn't easy. His stored feed is rotten. Many of his barns nded | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
repairing. The mess left by the force of the flooding will take many | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
months to clear up. As you come down into the kitchen... As for the | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
farmhouse, well inside therd is very little left. When do you thhnk | :01:38. | :01:42. | |

it. This device is carrying out sonar readings of the river bed | :02:03. | :02:06. | |

this and you know dredging hs starting on Monday, do you pray it | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
works? Yeah. Do you think it will? I think it will. It's not just the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
