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 | :08:11. | :08:12. |
