That's it for now. We're back with the late news | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And Monday bring outbreaks of rain. We do have a Met Office yellow | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
warning of rain in force. Good evening. The South West has borne | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
the brunt of yet another Atlantic storm, but it may be the last for | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
now. At the latest count 7,000 households were still without | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
electricity after gusts measuring 80 miles an hour were recorded off | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Dorset. The reopening of the railway linking Devon and Cornwall may be | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
delayed after further damage where the line is severed at Dawlish. | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Here's John Danks. Hammered by the sea. Shipping containers designed to | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
protect the sea wall at Dawlish left broken and bent. Another powerful | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
storm was the last thing engineers here needed. Today, there were no | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
trains running south of Exeter and services in Cornwall were suspended | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
for much of the day due to flooding on lines. In Kingsand, there was | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
blue sky, a peaceful picture far at odds with these scenes from last | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
night. And this was the result of the onslaught of large waves. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Another large hole has opened up in the base. All the reinforcement that | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
were put in place have done their job. It's all still standing and, | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
yeah, everyone's doing all they can and the locals are running around | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
and it is a brilliant community spirit here. Builders hope to | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
stabilise the clock tower and institute building by pumping | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
concrete around its base tomorrow. High winds brought trees down, block | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
roads. This one took down part of the wall of a primary school in | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Plymouth, narrowly avoiding the roof of a nearby property. Meanwhile four | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
people had to be rescued from their cars at Slapton Sands after breaking | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
waves made the road impassable. So another storm has passed through the | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
region, people are once again left clearing up and hoping the weather | :01:45. | :01:59. | |
will give them a break. Two severe flood warnings remain in force on | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
the Somerset Levels. The Prime Minister defended his handling of | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
the flood crisis on a visit to the South West this week. Today the | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
shadow Environment Secretary was in Penzance where the promenade has | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
been badly damaged. David Cameron pledged to help people affected, but | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Maria Eagle argues climate change is having an impact and ministers need | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
take it more seriously. I think this is a real wake up call for the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Government generally to look at making sure we are more resilient to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
these increasingly volatile weather events that seem to be happening | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
more frequently. Our reporter Chris Eakin has been examining the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
aftermath of last night's storm on Portland. We're on the sea defence | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
at the end of Chesil Beach. You take a look over, just get a sense of the | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
drop down to the beach. Those stones at the bottom were picked up by the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
waves and they were thrown right up on to the defence and they pounded | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
down here like a jack hammer, breaking up this surface. Look at it | :02:53. | :03:05. | |
all along here. Let's just take a look at this. All of this thrown by | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
the power of the sea and when you get to the corner, you see the big | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
pile of stones that almost look like the council have dumped them here. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
And we haven't finished yet, because if you come up here and look down | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the road, down at the bottom you may just be able to make out by the sand | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
bags on the edge of the pavement there are more of these stones. They | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
have been bowled right down there by the power of the sea. Sport and | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Torquay United went down at Chesterfield 3`1. At Home Park | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Plymouth Argyle also lost ` it was 4`0 to York City there. But better | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
news for Exeter who won 3`2 at Southend. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Plymouth Argyle also lost ` it was 4`0 to In rugby the meet between | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Plymouth Albion and Jersey was postponed. But Exeter Chiefs' | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
sell`out match against Bath went ahead. But they lost 23`27. And the | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
Cornish Pirates' were due to play London Welsh tomorrow, but that has | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
had to be put back too. And now time for a slightly more pleasant weather | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
forecast with Holly. Good evening. Tonight is looking fairly quiet. But | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
that means it is going to get cold. We have a Met Office yellow warning | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
of ice that will form on untreated surfaces, creating a hazard on the | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
roads. So we had a few showers around earlier, they have largely | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
died down, leaving clear spells and light winds. That's allowed that | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
frost and ice to form. Lows in many places down to low single figures or | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
freezing in some spots. So it is a cold but bright start to tomorrow | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
morning. Plenty of sunny spells through the day, but I think cloud | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
will tend to thicken from the west as we head through the afternoon, | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
with a few showers pushing in later. The winds will tend to pick up as | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
well. Highs around eight or nine degrees. Now Sunday night and Monday | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
bring outbreaks of rain. We do have a Met Office yellow warning of rain | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
in force. We want to know your flooding stories next week. Get in | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
touch with us in the usual way. From the weekend team, have a very good | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
evening. Hello, good evening, finally some | :05:03. | :05:16. | |
quieter weather on the way for the British Isles for the remainder of | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
this weekend, also somewhat for the week ahead. More on that in a | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
moment. Tonight, the biggest story is the winds continuing to ease | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Into the small hours of Sunday, the winds will be light. Late showers | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
for Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. A lot of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
groundwater around elsewhere with a wide spread rural frost predicted we | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
are looking at the prospect of patches of ice on Sunday. There is a | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
lot of sunshine to come throughout the day. With light winds it will | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
feel pleasant. Highs to Scotland and Northern Ireland of six or seven. To | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the south, eight, nine or ten in the south-east of England. To the west, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
showers will brush into Northern Ireland through the afternoon. High | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
pressure, as we move from Sunday into Monday, gives way to an area of | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
low pressure couldn't coming in from the Atlantic. This is nothing like | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
the bull's-eye | :06:12. | :06:12. |
