Hello, I'm Jenny Kirk. A driver's been describing how he | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
made a dramatic escape after his van was swept away by floodwater. Graham | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Collins was trying to cross a flooded ford on a road near Bishops | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Stortford when his van became engulfed by the swollen river. The | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
damage on the vehicle at the moment is obviously all this aside, all of | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
the back doors are smashed. Graham's fan is a write`off, | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
destroyed after being swept away by flood water. Debris still decorates | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
his windscreen. This is what happened after he and two others | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
took a short cut. It just drifted along for about 150 metres. It got | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
to the Ford, smashed into a car that was already underwater and then | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
started to sing. When it is loaded up with water, it weighs three | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
tonnes. The water just picked it up and took it like a wafer. Graham | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
escaped out of the window of his van and clung onto this fence to pull | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
themselves out. He doesn't help the driver of this car get to safety. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
His grief was compounded by thieves. They struck while the van was stuck | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
in the water, stealing is expensive equipment. The above is the risk to | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
getting into the water to get to the van, which I find incredible. I | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
don't even know of the machines will work. Elsewhere, the damage is still | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
visible where residents had to be rescued as the water rose around the | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
block of flats. The downstairs people were disabled so they got a | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
fire boat out to get into the top because it was fine there. And near | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Cambridge, families resorted to wind down manhole covers, after the force | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
of water lifted them up, spreading gardens with sewage. We could not | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
use any of the facilities in the house. No toilets, no showers, no | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
bleeding. So I had to hire a portable toilet at my own cost, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
because Anglian Water did not deem it as their responsibility. We had | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
to sort yourself out. This region has not been submerged like the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
south`west but here, for those that were caught out, the impact is still | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
costly. The region's longest`standing MP | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
could be the latest to face deselection by his local | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Conservative party. Sir Alan Haselhurst, who's represented | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Saffron Walden since 1977, told Look East today he wants to stand again | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
next year. He'll address the executive of his constituency party | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
on Thursday when they meet to discuss the matter. The local party | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
has confirmed some members feel that, at the age of 76, he should | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
stand down. Last week, Tim Yeo was deselected from South Suffolk. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
The cause of a fire which tore through an office block in Bedford | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
yesterday is still unclear. Crews were at the Old Town Hall for more | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
than ten hours. The block of former council offices was due to be | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
demolished. To the weekend's football. Stevenage | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
and Colchester's games were postponed due to the weather. | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
Norwich claimed an unlikely but much`needed point in the Premier | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
League and there were some important late goals. Tom Williams rounds up a | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
busy day. late goals. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
After a 7`0 thrashing in the reverse fixture, Norwich deep down would | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
have been worried about a similar humbling. But this time, the | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Canaries gave their big`spending visitors cause for concern. Nathan | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
fired an early warning shot. Gary Hooper thought it could have put | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
them in front. The linesman had other ideas. Man City soon woke up. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Although Man City dominated second half possession and chances, it was | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Norwich who could have stolen it. Van Wolfswinkle within a whisker of | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
converting Nathan Redden's cross. Seconds later, Anthony Pilkington so | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
close but the wrong side of the bar. With City's relegation rivals | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
picking up points, this point could prove vital. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
McCarthy described the draw at Barnsley as a blooming good point. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Two down with ten to play, Christophe popped up and David's | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
free kicks after made it two. Town three points outside the play`offs. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Peterborough also staged a dramatic fightback to League One promotion | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
chasers Leyton Orient 20 minutes from time, as an equaliser was | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
headed before it was won from a distance. Posh up into the | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
play`offs. MK Dons did them a favour beating Walsall. Macleod jipped them | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
in front. Wallsall had a man sent off, allowing Ben Reeves to double | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
their lead. Macleod made it 3`0. Mansfield ended Southend's eight | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
match unbeaten run in League Two, scoring in either half. Clifford was | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
sent off for the Blues, with Leonard wrapping a late consolation. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Northampton's survival hopes were dented further. Plymouth 2`0 | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
winners, the Cobblers seven points from safety. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Rugby and a late converted try gave Northampton Saints victory over | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Exeter Chiefs as they climbed to the top of the Premiership. In difficult | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
conditions the Saints snuck a tight win 17`16, moving them up the table | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
one point ahead of Saracens, who lost at home to London Irish earlier | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
on Saturday. To the weather and here's Georgina | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
Burnett. Good evening. I am afraid it is | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
going to be colder, which we ahead and the Met Office has got a yellow | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
warning for ice. That is until 10am. Be careful if you are driving. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Through the night, just a view showers around. The winds finally | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
easing. Temperatures dipping a little more than they have, close to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
freezing in some parts. Tomorrow morning, some showy outbreaks of | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
rain for the morning commute. Improving by the afternoon so any | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
brightness later on in the day. Temperatures up to six or seven | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Celsius but a lot less windy. Between Tuesday and Thursday, more | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
wet and windy weather is on the cards. The Met Office are some | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
yellow warnings in place. I will keep you updated. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
That's it for now. I'll be back with another bulletin tonight at around | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
10:15. Until then, have a good evening. | :05:58. | :06:11. | |
Good evening. We have a significant number of severe warnings out. Most | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
of them have been issued on the River Thames today. Now, of course, | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
with more rain due this week, that is not good news, and as well as | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
that, we are expecting some gales as well on the coast. But this week, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
perhaps an increased risk of some snow as well. At the moment we are | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
in a quiet spell of weather, with fewer showers around, this evening | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
and overnight. There is a risk as temperatures get close to freezing | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
that there could be some ice first thing in the morning. Temperatures | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
will be lower out in the countryside. We could even have a | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
smattering of snow tonight and first thing in the morning over the hills | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
of Wales, the Midlands, up into northern England and Scotland. But | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
tomorrow will be quieter, once again. Still scattered showers | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
around. For the east of | :07:03. | :07:03. |
