a first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel.

:00:00.3:59:59

Good evening. But now on

:00:00.:00:11.

Volunteers are rebuilding several uninsured homes on the

:00:12.:00:14.

Somerset Levels after the devastating floods.

:00:15.:00:16.

The community has rallied round to help people who either can't

:00:17.:00:19.

get insurance cover or whose claims have been turned down.

:00:20.:00:22.

When this house flooded last year, the insurers did not want

:00:23.:00:36.

And so for Chris Matthews, the volunteers working inside,

:00:37.:00:44.

This is the sorry state we are in at the moment.

:00:45.:00:51.

We visited the house in February, just after it flooded,

:00:52.:00:55.

a matter of days later, four inches of water was to become four feet.

:00:56.:01:03.

Rebuilding the house now is costing the family nothing,

:01:04.:01:06.

It restores your faith in htman nature, but it does worry me,

:01:07.:01:12.

because if ever this sort of thing was to happen again, I mean you are

:01:13.:01:17.

not going to get a constant flow of people who can afford to give you

:01:18.:01:22.

the time and also invest the money to rebuild.

:01:23.:01:30.

And even those who thought they had cover are finding the ddvil

:01:31.:01:36.

This couple, on the edge of Moorland, were told

:01:37.:01:41.

their insurance was null and void because they did not declare a

:01:42.:01:45.

So now, they are living in a caravan.

:01:46.:01:52.

As you can see I live in this wonderful caravan

:01:53.:01:56.

Sorry. The generosity of people is amazing! Amazing!

:01:57.:02:08.

The generosity does not stop there, theirs is another house being

:02:09.:02:14.

rebuilt by those giving their time for nothing.

:02:15.:02:21.

Councillors in Bath have approved plans for a ?2 million travellers'

:02:22.:02:25.

Banes currently has no pitches for travellers at all,

:02:26.:02:29.

Our political editor, Paul Barltrop, reports.

:02:30.:02:36.

For four years, they have been camped illegally.

:02:37.:02:38.

Now the council has to pay to make legit.

:02:39.:02:41.

?1.8 million will be spent in the green belt beside Bath.

:02:42.:02:46.

Instead of mud and portaloos, there will be set pitches,

:02:47.:02:49.

Opposition councillors say this is this unfair on taxpayers.

:02:50.:02:55.

I think they have every right to feel outraged by it.

:02:56.:02:58.

On top of that, I think the fact that the administration are

:02:59.:03:03.

talking about getting someone in place to keep check on

:03:04.:03:06.

We are not allowed to film inside, but in the meeting,

:03:07.:03:15.

councillors discuss the highway and environmental objections raised

:03:16.:03:17.

There was also much talk about the expense, with one member

:03:18.:03:24.

Today's vote was about the plans, not about the cost.

:03:25.:03:28.

For the councillor responsible, relief after years

:03:29.:03:32.

If you take it in comparison to building two

:03:33.:03:37.

bedroom houses, which is what it is taking comparison of, it is

:03:38.:03:40.

Bearing in mind that there `re major infrastructure problems on the site,

:03:41.:03:45.

bearing in mind it is a World Heritage site, and we are

:03:46.:03:49.

Also we are actually enhanchng the nature reserves which have

:03:50.:03:53.

?750,000 of the cost will come from the government,

:03:54.:03:59.

who expect councils to provhde suitable sites for travellers.

:04:00.:04:02.

The work is due to start in the autumn.

:04:03.:04:15.

In rugby, it was memories of what might have been for Bristol.

:04:16.:04:19.

They've lost their last ever game at the Memorial Stadium,

:04:20.:04:22.

meaning they'll be playing second tier rugby once again next season.

:04:23.:04:25.

Alistair Durden is there for us tonight.

:04:26.:04:35.

Yes it is a real shame for the supporters. The last are making

:04:36.:04:41.

their way after the Memorial Stadium pitch. They say the damage was done

:04:42.:04:48.

last year. `` last week. It was always going to be a tall order to

:04:49.:04:51.

turn things around. They really turn things around. They really

:04:52.:04:55.

needed was a fast start and took them half an hour to get on the

:04:56.:05:02.

score `` scoreboard. Short sticky sparse...

:05:03.:05:06.

They had an early second`half try to stop from 30 metres out, and the

:05:07.:05:15.

third came from Hughes he touched down near the post. Bristol were

:05:16.:05:18.

within eight points of their opponents within that point. They

:05:19.:05:21.

pressed the self`destruct bttton I pressed the self`destruct button I

:05:22.:05:22.

am afraid. Too late. We were like rabbits in headlights

:05:23.:05:29.

in the first half. It was only really

:05:30.:05:35.

the second half that we got going. They should have sorted out

:05:36.:05:40.

the fly half. It is a weird one. It doesn't feel

:05:41.:05:57.

real. Standing there, watching them lift the trophy. We played so well

:05:58.:05:59.

all year, it is Woody happening One all year, it is Woody happening One

:06:00.:06:06.

poor game. From that side of things, very frustrating. So no ferry tell

:06:07.:06:16.

ending here at the Memorial Stadium `` fairy tale ending.

:06:17.:06:22.

That's it from me tonight ` but Newsnight is just getting under

:06:23.:06:25.

I'll say good night at the end of a wet day ` and leave thd final

:06:26.:06:31.

A wet day indeed. It remains that way indeed.

:06:32.:06:43.

Much warmer than today and lore sunshine around. The arc of rain is

:06:44.:06:58.

finally being steered towards Worcestershire and Wiltshire.

:06:59.:06:58.

Worcestershire and Wiltshird. Bright, clear weather will be back

:06:59.:07:05.

in. Temperatures lower than you are seeing here, four or five Celsius

:07:06.:07:10.

but Ellsworth April nine of years. A call start. Through the day, there

:07:11.:07:18.

will be variable amounts of cloud. The vast majority of places will

:07:19.:07:22.

remain dry. It would be a pleasant and fine evening well up on the

:07:23.:07:27.

temperatures from today, back into high teens. Warmer still on Friday

:07:28.:07:30.

and muddy too. couple of days. You may have just

:07:31.:07:42.

heard the mention of the risk of storms at the weekend in regional

:07:43.:07:48.

forecasts. That depends on how this cloud in the Atlantic interacts with

:07:49.:07:53.

humid air developing over the rest of Europe. Today has been a pretty

:07:54.:07:56.

wet Wednesday across many areas. We wet Wednesday across many areas We

:07:57.:08:03.

have an area of rain pushing briefly across southern counties of England.

:08:04.:08:10.

In between there is occasional rain and drizzle. The driest weather
