two weeks' time. That is all from us tonight but | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hello. Good evening, I'm Dani Sinha. A community has come together in a | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
big clear`up operation today, after Friday night's storm. The seafront | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
at Milford on Sea in Hampshire was devastated. But the area was left | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
out of a severe flood warning ` when neighbouring communities were put on | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
the highest level of alert. Ben Moore reports. All hands on deck, | :00:27. | :00:41. | |
residents of Milford on Sea worked with the Army to clear up their | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
promenade after the worst storm in living memory, but some think the | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
town could have been better prepared. The owner of the marina | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
restaurant with dirty diners had to be rescued that he would not have | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
opened if he knew the area was at risk. Nobody came to the premises. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
We had some strong winds here previously and although gravel has | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
been over the wall, it never broke any glass so we were not expecting | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
it to be as bad as it was. The Environment Agency had issued a | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
flood warning for nearby towns but Milford on Sea was not included and | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
it wore the want. `` bore the brunt. The problem was the high winds and | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
strong waves which were stronger than we have been before, and when | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
it was plugged into our models, we did not know there will be an issue | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
down there. The repair bill will be hundreds of thousands of pounds but | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
warning or not, nothing could have stopped the weather. Somebody asked | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
me this morning, who can I go to to blame? Go to church, I said! Blue | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
skies all people back to Milford on Sea today and the waters are calm | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
again. Around 5,000 homes in our region are still without power. The | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
distributor SSE says it has more than a thousand engineers working to | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
restore supplies ` and aims to have everyone back on by tonight. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Meanwhile, staff from the Environment Agency, Hampshire Fire | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
and Rescue, the Army and local authorities have been working to | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
sure up a river bank in Romsey. They're laying 40,000 sandbags to | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
protect the area that's under threat of erosion ` which could lead to | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
flooding in some three hundred homes. The plan is to redirect water | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
back into the River Test further downstream to prevent the risk of | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
flooding. On the Isle of Wight the army has been involved in moving | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
residents from an area threatened by landslip. One home on the Undercliff | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
dry between Niton and St Lawrence had to be evacuated on Friday but | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
the whole area has now been deemed too unstable and all residents told | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
to leave. Soldiers have been moving people's belongings from their | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
homes. A man is due to appear in court in Reading tomorrow charged | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
with causing the deaths of two cyclists in Berkshire. 39`year`old | :03:07. | :03:16. | |
Kris Jarvis and John Moorland, who were 30, both died after a collision | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
in Purley on Thames on Thursday night. Alexander Walters who's 31 | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and from Beech Road in Purley on Thames has been charged with two | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
counts of causing death by dangerous driving and three other motoring | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
offences. A male pedestrian has died in an accident on one of | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Southampton's busiest roads tonight. The 70`year`old man, who has not | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
been named, collided with a car on The Avenue at around four o'clock. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
He was taken to Southampton General Hospital but pronounced dead shortly | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
after he arrived. The road was closed for sometime causing problems | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
for motorists heading to and from the nearby M3. In football, a great | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
win for Reading this afternoon as they took three points against high | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
flying Queen's Park Rangers. Gareth McCleary's brilliant strike put the | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
seal on a 3`1 victory ` for the Royals to firm up their sixth place | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
in the table. All the goals on South Today tomorrow. And in the draw for | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the quarter finals of the FA Cup, Brighton will play Sunderland IF | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
they can beat Hull tomorrow. OK, let's move on to the all`important | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
weather forecast. Here is Holly Green. Good evening. Today felt like | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
a taste of spring but we have rain moving in. We could see some grass | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
frost tomorrow but we have a Met office warning in place for parts of | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Dorset if that rain falls onto saturated services. Mostly light | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
rain tomorrow and quite lustfully at times as well, highs of eight to 10 | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
degrees. `` quite blustery. Wednesday night and Thursday will be | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
wet and windy once more. That's all from us this evening. More on the | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
BBC News website. We're back tomorrow morning during BBC | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Breakfast. But for now, from all of us here, a very good evening to you. | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Goodnight. Good evening. In the midst of any | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
normal winter weather for the week ahead would be fairly unremarkable. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Some rain in places, some strong winds at times, but of course we are | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
in the midst of no normal winter. It is worth emphasising that with - | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
the weather this week will be less angry and volatile overall, a fair | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
bit calmer. Calmer but by no means dry. Outbreaks of rain will spread | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
across much of the UK through the night. There will be some snow mixed | :05:35. | :05:35. |
