:00:12. > :00:14.power and travel disruption is tonight affecting roads, rail and

:00:18. > :00:21.Atlantic, bringing high winds and heavy rain to many areas already hit
:00:22. > :00:25.hard by the floods. Along the Thames there was a royal

:00:35. > :00:39.doesn't matter about the fridge or the washing machine. That can be

:00:45. > :00:47.The weekend forecast is for more bad weather but we'll be looking beyond
:00:48. > :00:50.that and asking how long the extreme conditions might last.
:00:51. > :00:52.Also tonight: Piers Morgan confirms he's been questioned by police
:00:53. > :00:55.investigating phone hacking allegations at Mirror Group
:00:56. > :00:59.Newspapers. He's denied any wrongdoing.

:01:59. > :02:03.Good evening. Parts of Britain have been battered
:02:04. > :02:08.once again by another storm sweeping in from the Atlantic. On the Isles
:02:09. > :02:15.of Scilly, winds of 79mph were recorded, with strong gusts causing
:02:16. > :02:18.huge waves lashing the south coast. In Devon, the storm brought almost
:02:19. > :02:23.40mm of rain in some places, more than a third of what would normally
:02:24. > :02:28.fall in a month. One of the worst hit areas is Somerset. Our
:02:29. > :02:34.correspondent Jon Kay has spent the day there and joins us from the
:02:35. > :02:42.village of East Lyng. He joins us from the village of East Lyng.
:02:43. > :02:46.Very gusty here this evening. About 70 mph at the moment, and Friday
:02:47. > :02:50.night is probably one of the worst times of the week for a storm like
:02:51. > :02:54.this to hit the UK because so many people are travelling around,
:02:55. > :02:58.travelling home from work. We have reports of delays on the plains,
:02:59. > :03:04.cancellations on railways, and roads, like this one, completely
:03:05. > :03:08.blocked. Trees are down, power is down,
:03:09. > :03:15.another night of disruption in a winter of chaos. It is the third
:03:16. > :03:20.major storm this week, smashing its way in from the Atlantic this
:03:21. > :03:26.evening, leaving the South West's already fractured railway even more
:03:27. > :03:34.broken. Inland, and this is supposed to be land, it whipped up floodwater
:03:35. > :03:38.on the Somerset Levels. In East Lyng, Georgina is the latest
:03:39. > :03:45.victim. For her, it has just been one deluge to many. I just can't
:03:46. > :03:50.believe it is keeping on and on raining, and raining so hard as
:03:51. > :03:54.well. We are under and now. We have never been flooded before. There are
:03:55. > :04:01.going to be I don't know how many other properties. It's just
:04:02. > :04:06.ridiculous. Next door, Richard now has 2000 sandbags, but will it be
:04:07. > :04:10.enough? You can't beat nature, I suppose. If the water is going to
:04:11. > :04:15.rise that much I will lose the battle for the house. For many,
:04:16. > :04:20.though, the fight is finally over, the water ever wider, ever deeper.
:04:21. > :04:26.Just when you think things can't get any worse, when you think the water
:04:27. > :04:30.can't get any higher, it does. Up to the door knocker here. That's the
:04:31. > :04:34.worst we've seen it during these weeks of flooding on the Somerset
:04:35. > :04:41.Levels. Every day, still, new properties are being affected.
:04:42. > :04:46.Buffeted by wind and sprayed by rain, we headed to Gloucester. Badly
:04:47. > :04:50.flooded seven years ago, the new flood defences are holding up for
:04:51. > :04:55.now, but the weekend tides will be a challenge. It is all making this
:04:56. > :05:00.family rather paranoid. They came to Gloucester for safety after their
:05:01. > :05:07.street in Surrey was flooded on Tuesday. Now, their temporary home
:05:08. > :05:11.could go under as well. It is a bit surreal. The boys have moved from
:05:12. > :05:19.one flood zone to another, but they are taking it in their stride. Where
:05:20. > :05:26.next? Spain, I think. No sunshine here yet. This is Cornwall tonight.
:05:27. > :05:31.Forecasters say after this storm we will get something of a break, but
:05:32. > :05:34.before that, a wild weekend. So as we've been hearing, another
:05:35. > :05:36.difficult day for communities which have already been coping with sodden
:05:37. > :05:39.and flooded land. Across England, almost 6000 properties have been
:05:40. > :05:43.flooded since the extreme weather set in in December. In the Thames
:05:44. > :05:46.Valley, the relief effort was today bolstered by Princes William and
:05:47. > :05:57.Harry, who joined the sandbagging effort in the village of Datchet.
:05:58. > :06:01.Robert Hall reports. In a flood hit village where
:06:02. > :06:08.volunteers have played such an important part, extra pairs of hands
:06:09. > :06:12.are always welcome. The princes waded in to join a chain reinforcing
:06:13. > :06:17.flood defences. Buckingham Palace said they had wanted to do what they
:06:18. > :06:20.could to support victims of flooding, and to thank the Armed
:06:21. > :06:26.Forces personnel who had helped lift my row. The Queen is contributing
:06:27. > :06:30.feed and bedding from the Royal farms at Windsor to farmers hit by
:06:31. > :06:35.flooding on the Somerset Levels. It is the end of the working week along
:06:36. > :06:39.the Thames, five days when thousands tried to give their lives on track
:06:40. > :06:43.and their emotions in check. It doesn't matter about the fridge or
:06:44. > :06:52.the washing machine. That can be replaced. But stuff in here, that
:06:53. > :06:56.you have built up... When you travel in this direction you really don't
:06:57. > :07:01.get a sense of the volume of water coming down the Thames. But if we
:07:02. > :07:07.now make a turn and head upstream, you can see the amount of power we
:07:08. > :07:11.are having to use virtually to stand still. This stretch of the Thames
:07:12. > :07:15.has fallen by about nine inches over the last couple of days, but that is
:07:16. > :07:22.small comfort to the people who live here who have had to move out. I
:07:23. > :07:26.visited the River ash estate on Monday. Tonight, as I return, Nikki
:07:27. > :07:30.and her husband were loading their chemical toilet onto the canoe. With
:07:31. > :07:35.mains trains out of action, they have two empty yet at her mother's
:07:36. > :07:41.home. Just one element in a new routine. In the morning I would go
:07:42. > :07:47.out with the dogs, but we have four, so only two will sit in the canoe.
:07:48. > :07:53.We take two, come back and do the next two, come back, get changed,
:07:54. > :07:57.ready for work, come back out again. We met Paul, home from work with
:07:58. > :08:01.supplies for his family. His triplets have been unable to leave
:08:02. > :08:05.the house for eight days. People phone every day to check whether we
:08:06. > :08:10.need supplies. There is always a canoe if we need to get out will do
:08:11. > :08:14.anything. Stuart McCall Quinn has spent sleepless nights watching the
:08:15. > :08:20.water rise. Now, with levels falling, he hopes to bring his
:08:21. > :08:23.family home. It was the worst flooding in corded history,
:08:24. > :08:27.apparently. So it is good, we made it through. The Thames remains a
:08:28. > :08:31.threat but perhaps, just perhaps, the worst is over.
:08:32. > :08:34.It's been the cumulative effect of so many storms, and their intensity,
:08:35. > :08:38.that has made the last couple of months of weather so exceptional.
:08:39. > :08:41.This was the storm today as it moved across the UK. So is there more to
:08:42. > :08:50.come? Here's our Science Editor, David Shukman.
:08:51. > :08:54.Around the clock, a desperate effort to fix the shattered rail link to
:08:55. > :08:59.Cornwall. What the team at Dawlish need, like everyone, is a break from
:09:00. > :09:03.the storms. And there is now a glimmer of hope that we may be at a
:09:04. > :09:07.turning point. We have just got this video from Whitchurch in
:09:08. > :09:11.Shropshire. The roof of a council building ripped off. It is hard to
:09:12. > :09:18.believe the forecast is for less violent times ahead. At The Met
:09:19. > :09:22.office in Exeter, they have watched storm after storm brew up over the
:09:23. > :09:26.Atlantic and advanced towards our sport two months. At last, the
:09:27. > :09:31.satellite pictures show signs of change. The storm on Friday will be
:09:32. > :09:36.the last of the intense storms in the series. We expect the storms
:09:37. > :09:40.next week to be less intense. We are not out of the woods, because the
:09:41. > :09:44.catchments are sensitised to further rainfall, completely saturated. Any
:09:45. > :09:51.rain is likely to cause further impacts. The River Thames at
:09:52. > :09:55.Reading, surging at high speed. The black polls contain instruments
:09:56. > :09:58.measuring the river level. Teams from the Environment Agency track
:09:59. > :10:04.exactly how it is changing and they say the danger is not over. The
:10:05. > :10:08.River Thames here at Reading is flowing four times faster than
:10:09. > :10:13.normal. 200 tonnes of water are passing through every second. The
:10:14. > :10:17.problem is a delayed reaction. The rain that has fallen upstream has to
:10:18. > :10:26.work its way down, so even if the weather improves, the threat of
:10:27. > :10:30.flooding will continue. A flood forecast briefs a colleague. They
:10:31. > :10:35.are working in shifts to cover 24 hours a day. They take data from The
:10:36. > :10:39.Met office and work out where the next flood might strike. In one of
:10:40. > :10:43.the country's most densely populated areas, the official in charge says
:10:44. > :10:48.there is still a huge volume of water around. It is a big river
:10:49. > :10:52.flowing very fast in places and people need to be wary of the risk.
:10:53. > :10:56.There are some areas where there is flooding and people need to take
:10:57. > :11:02.care, so we will keep severe flood warnings in place while the risk is
:11:03. > :11:06.around. So what is next? A massive snowstorm underway in the United
:11:07. > :11:10.States may eventually affect us. These scenes are thousands of miles
:11:11. > :11:14.away but they weather event this severe creates ripples in the
:11:15. > :11:18.atmosphere, and satellite pictures show a stream of cloud which could
:11:19. > :11:22.reach us, right across the Atlantic, in several days time.
:11:23. > :11:24.The former editor of the Daily Mirror, Piers Morgan, has refused to
:11:25. > :11:27.comment tonight on being questioned by police investigating allegations
:11:28. > :11:30.of phone hacking. It's emerged that he was interviewed under caution at
:11:31. > :11:34.a police station last December. He's always denied any involvement in the
:11:35. > :11:43.interception of voice mail messages. Our home affairs correspondent Matt
:11:44. > :11:48.Prodger reports. Piers Morgan is an international
:11:49. > :11:51.celebrity, but the phone hacking investigation is interested in his
:11:52. > :11:55.previous career as editor of the Daily Mirror. In a statement, he
:11:56. > :11:59.said that in early November, I was asked to attend an interview by
:12:00. > :12:03.officers from Operation Weeting, when I was next in the UK. I
:12:04. > :12:09.attended that interview, as requested, on the 6th of December
:12:10. > :12:13.2013. Mr Morgan was a star turn at being choir into press standards,
:12:14. > :12:21.where he denied knowing about phone hacking in the industry. Did you see
:12:22. > :12:29.this sort of thing going on? No. Are you sure about that? 100%. He did
:12:30. > :12:32.tell the enquiry he once heard a recording of a voice mail left by
:12:33. > :12:39.Sir Paul McCartney for his then girlfriend. I listened to a tape of
:12:40. > :12:45.a message. It was a voice mail message. I believed it was.
:12:46. > :12:48.Detectives have so far interviewed under caution or arrested six
:12:49. > :12:53.journalists who work for the Mirror Group. The company had no comment to
:12:54. > :13:00.make today. Piers Morgan have a habit of generating news headlines.
:13:01. > :13:02.Tonight is no different. He is always larger-than-life.
:13:03. > :13:07.Unsurprisingly, whenever Piers Morgan gets near a story, that a
:13:08. > :13:13.pitcher goes up. Mr Morgan's current employer, CNN, says it was aware at
:13:14. > :13:19.the time that he had been interviewed by police and it had
:13:20. > :13:21.nothing more to add. Air accident investigators say the police
:13:22. > :13:24.helicopter which crashed in Glasgow last November suffered a double
:13:25. > :13:27.engine failure. Ten people died when the helicopter came down onto the
:13:28. > :13:32.roof of the Clutha pub. The engine failure is thought to have been
:13:33. > :13:35.caused by a fuel supply problem. A video has been posted online
:13:36. > :13:39.showing the first British suicide bomber to die in Syria, just before
:13:40. > :13:42.he set off on his mission to blow himself up. The footage shows Abdul
:13:43. > :13:46.Waheed Majeed dressed in white next to the large armoured truck that was
:13:47. > :13:49.driven into the walls of Aleppo prison over a week ago. Here's our
:13:50. > :13:59.Security Correspondent Gordon Corera.
:14:00. > :14:03.Britain's first suicide bomber in Syria, seen here in a newly released
:14:04. > :14:06.video just before he launches his attack, posing for pictures with
:14:07. > :14:12.fellow fighters. Wearing white, traditional clothes for someone
:14:13. > :14:15.repairing for martyrdom, is Abdul Waheed Majeed. He explains to those
:14:16. > :14:24.around him he can only speak English. English. The video shows
:14:25. > :14:28.how, soon after, the heavily modified armoured truck he is
:14:29. > :14:32.standing next it was driven away. Apparently by Abdul Waheed Majeed.
:14:33. > :14:39.Packed full of explosives, it runs into the walls of Aleppo prison. An
:14:40. > :14:46.attempt to free prisoners inside. Police earlier in the week searched
:14:47. > :14:50.his house in Crawley, Sussex. People in the community have confirmed it
:14:51. > :14:54.does appear to be him in the video and today his uncle gave his
:14:55. > :15:00.reaction. He was a family man. His family had no suspicion at all that
:15:01. > :15:06.he was on that line, to do something like this. So, what do we know of
:15:07. > :15:11.Abdul Waheed Majeed? You travel from Crawley to Syria about six months
:15:12. > :15:14.ago in the summer of 2013, saying he was going on humanitarian work. They
:15:15. > :15:20.had been previously associated with extremist groups like Omar Bakri
:15:21. > :15:23.Mohammed's al-Muhajiroun, now banned. He also seems to have known
:15:24. > :15:29.some of the men from Crawley jailed in 2007 in the so-called fertiliser
:15:30. > :15:35.bomb plot. Today's video also shows the fighters that Majeed was with,
:15:36. > :15:41.most from Chechnya, following a tank as they try to storm the prison. The
:15:42. > :15:46.attack fails. Abdul Waheed Majeed saw himself as a martyr, taking part
:15:47. > :15:48.in military action. But what worries counterterrorist officials is that
:15:49. > :15:54.he might not be the last British suicide bomber in Syria and that,
:15:55. > :15:55.eventually, some of the brutal violence of that conflict might
:15:56. > :16:04.spill back over here. The leader of the Roman Catholic
:16:05. > :16:08.Church in England and Wales has said that poor families are being left
:16:09. > :16:10.destitute because of the Government's welfare reforms.
:16:11. > :16:13.Archbishop Vincent Nichols, in an interview with the Telegraph, says
:16:14. > :16:18.that support for poor people has been torn apart. The Department for
:16:19. > :16:20.Work and Pensions responded by saying the reforms would transform
:16:21. > :16:23.the lives of some of the poorest families.
:16:24. > :16:29.Labour has held the safe seat of Wythenshawe and Sale East in
:16:30. > :16:33.Manchester. I therefore declare that Mike Kane is duly elected. Former
:16:34. > :16:35.councillor Mike Kane won with an increased majority of more than
:16:36. > :16:38.13,000. The UK Independence Party came second, pushing the
:16:39. > :16:43.Conservatives into third place. The by-election was prompted by the
:16:44. > :16:47.death of the MP Paul Goggins. The Government is dropping plans to
:16:48. > :16:50.give voters the right to sack MPs who break the law or parliamentary
:16:51. > :16:53.rules. The so-called power of recall was part of the coalition agreement
:16:54. > :16:59.between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in 2010. But it
:17:00. > :17:02.will now be left out of the Queen's speech in May. Our Political
:17:03. > :17:11.Correspondent Carole Walker joins us from Westminster. Why is it being
:17:12. > :17:14.dropped? Well, the Liberal Democrats are publicly blaming the Prime
:17:15. > :17:18.Minister for blocking something that was promised in the coalition
:17:19. > :17:22.agreement after the public outcry over MP expenses. But the proposals
:17:23. > :17:27.were actually drawn up by the Lib Dem death to pry Minister Nick
:17:28. > :17:32.Clegg. They meant it was only if an MP was found guilty of serious
:17:33. > :17:36.wrongdoing by a committee of MPs, and 10% of his or her constituents
:17:37. > :17:39.had signed a petition that an MP can actually be thrown out. One of the
:17:40. > :17:44.leading campaigners on this issue, the Conservatives that Goldsmith,
:17:45. > :17:48.said that the plans were simply unworkable, they would never have
:17:49. > :17:52.got through Parliament and it was appalling behaviour of the Lib Dems
:17:53. > :17:56.to try and blame their coalition partners for this. What is clear is
:17:57. > :18:01.that this was supposed to be part of the new politics promised by David
:18:02. > :18:04.Cameron, handing power from the stage to the citizen. Like so many
:18:05. > :18:08.other attempts at constitutional reform, it has been scuppered by
:18:09. > :18:12.disagreements over how it would work in practice.
:18:13. > :18:15.France is to send another 400 peacekeepers to the Central African
:18:16. > :18:18.Republic, as the United Nations warns the country is being ripped
:18:19. > :18:23.apart by ethnic and religious violence. Tens of thousands of
:18:24. > :18:27.Muslim civilians are trying to flee after massacres carried out by
:18:28. > :18:30.Christian militias. Months of bloodshed have also seen Muslim
:18:31. > :18:33.fighters accused of terrible atrocities. Our Africa Correspondent
:18:34. > :18:35.Andrew Harding reports from the town of Boali, where one church leader is
:18:36. > :18:47.trying to help end the violence. Revenge is a full-time business
:18:48. > :18:56.here. And these Christian fighters have their hands full. Scores to
:18:57. > :18:59.settle, Muslims to kill. French and African peacekeepers are trying to
:19:00. > :19:10.stop the bloodshed. But they're outnumbered. And so, an empty road
:19:11. > :19:13.marks a front line. And, trapped behind it across no man's land,
:19:14. > :19:19.another Muslim community under siege, one of many here. They're
:19:20. > :19:24.desperate to escape, ready to die trying.
:19:25. > :19:31.And yet, a few Muslims have found sanctuary in unexpected places. In
:19:32. > :19:39.the town of Boali, St Peter's Parish Church has taken in over 600. This
:19:40. > :19:45.woman watched her husband being hacked to death by her Christian
:19:46. > :19:51.neighbours. Her son had a lucky escape. So, he cut him with a
:19:52. > :19:57.machete, here? Are you OK? 22 children have been killed in the
:19:58. > :20:08.neighbourhood in the past month. The church pews are filled with
:20:09. > :20:12.bewildered survivors. The man responsible for this new
:20:13. > :20:18.congregation is Father Xavier. 31-years-old, new to the job, making
:20:19. > :20:19.friends fast here. But he's facing a backlash outside for preaching
:20:20. > :20:28.tolerance. When I started doing this, everyone
:20:29. > :20:32.opposed me, he said. I was attacked by the community. But in these
:20:33. > :20:36.times, men of goodwill must stand up and prove their faith. This country
:20:37. > :20:42.needs to see that Christians and Muslims share the same God. For a
:20:43. > :20:46.long time, it was Christians who felt persecuted in this country. But
:20:47. > :20:50.in recent weeks the tables have been turned. Now it's members of the
:20:51. > :20:53.Muslim minority who are on the run, either trying to flee the country or
:20:54. > :21:01.taking sanctuary wherever they can find it. Outside, on the streets of
:21:02. > :21:07.Boali, a taste of what awaits any Muslims caught trying to leave. A
:21:08. > :21:14.man proudly shows us the ruins of the mosque, torn down by a mob.
:21:15. > :21:21.Nearby, we run into the Christian anti-balaka militia. All Muslims
:21:22. > :21:28.must leave this country, he says. And if they don't? Then we must kill
:21:29. > :21:34.them - all. Back at the church, the Muslims queue up to register for a
:21:35. > :21:38.possible evacuation plan. Others have been killed on the road, trying
:21:39. > :21:44.to flee abroad. These families fear the church's protection here won't
:21:45. > :21:48.last. A bigger international intervention might have kept this
:21:49. > :21:54.country intact. Instead, it's peacekeeping on the cheap. And for
:21:55. > :22:07.these embattled Muslim communities, the bleakest future.
:22:08. > :22:15.London Fashion Week began this week. Fashion accounts for a major slice
:22:16. > :22:18.of British manufacturing, bringing in ?21 billion a year. Much of that
:22:19. > :22:21.comes from selling UK goods overseas, especially in the world's
:22:22. > :22:25.biggest market, China, where a growing middle class are clamouring
:22:26. > :22:36.for British labels. Fiona Bruce reports on how British firms are
:22:37. > :22:39.making their mark. Graceful, meticulous, handcrafted. British
:22:40. > :22:42.fashion, worn by the well-known and the well-heeled from the catwalk to
:22:43. > :22:44.the red carpet. A leading British designer, Alice Temperly's label
:22:45. > :22:47.launched 14 years ago. Some of her production is based here and she
:22:48. > :22:51.knows what appeals to foreign clients. This dress works really,
:22:52. > :22:56.really well. It's a beautiful printed silk cotton. Everything is
:22:57. > :23:00.engineered. The label is keen to attract a slice of the ?155 billion
:23:01. > :23:03.Chinese fashion market and is just taking its first steps in China.
:23:04. > :23:06.British fashion appeals to them because it's unique, it's got the
:23:07. > :23:13.historical context, it's a luxury, it's more artisan. It's much more
:23:14. > :23:15.design-focused and has a point of view that's ultimately very
:23:16. > :23:21.different to what they've got out there at the moment. When it comes
:23:22. > :23:25.to exporting British fashion, it's not just about luxury brands and
:23:26. > :23:31.boutiques. Fashion is the most popular product sold online here in
:23:32. > :23:34.Britain. And the people making clothes at this factory in North
:23:35. > :23:39.London want to replicate that success abroad. Fashion brand ASOS
:23:40. > :23:42.has factories all over the world. But it had to set up its own
:23:43. > :23:51.stitching academy to train British workers in a dying skill. When we
:23:52. > :23:55.started to bring more manufacturing to the UK, we realised we had a
:23:56. > :23:58.shortage of people to actually man the machines. ASOS sells 1.5 million
:23:59. > :24:01.units every week and has just launched its website in China. We
:24:02. > :24:04.launched in the UK thinking, ten years ago, we'd be a UK-centric
:24:05. > :24:07.business, but look what happened. Suddenly we were taking orders from
:24:08. > :24:10.all over the world, we started opening websites in France, Germany,
:24:11. > :24:13.the US, Australia and now China. And now 60% of our sales, effectively,
:24:14. > :24:18.are exported. And it's given young apprentices an opportunity. I want
:24:19. > :24:23.to be a fashion designer, so me doing an apprenticeship here is a
:24:24. > :24:32.good start off. Not many designers you'll come across no how garments
:24:33. > :24:35.are made. Fashion is about more than clothes, it's luxury accessories
:24:36. > :24:39.too. Watches are the collectable of choice for the growing number of
:24:40. > :24:42.Chinese millionaires. The watches are British made and worn by RAF
:24:43. > :24:46.pilots and film stars like Tom Cruise. With a turnover of ?15
:24:47. > :24:53.million, Bremont are keen to expand into China, but know it can make or
:24:54. > :25:04.break a company. I think China, the potential is huge. We know that in
:25:05. > :25:09.the market stats. But the pitfalls are also huge. So you go in with the
:25:10. > :25:11.wrong partner, you go into the wrong cities, your brand DNA gets
:25:12. > :25:15.misunderstood out the. So, it is really full of pitfalls. But if you
:25:16. > :25:18.can get it right, it will help your markets throughout the world as
:25:19. > :25:20.well. London Fashion Week is a crucial shop window for British
:25:21. > :25:22.designers. Many will be hoping the words "Made in Britain" will
:25:23. > :25:31.translate into worn in China. In football, the Premier League's
:25:32. > :25:34.bottom club Fulham have fired their second manager this season. Rene
:25:35. > :25:37.Meulensteen had been in the job for just ten weeks. The club has
:25:38. > :25:38.appointed former Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath as his replacement, on
:25:39. > :25:47.an 18-month contract. Team GB has won its first gold medal
:25:48. > :25:50.at the Winter Olympics. Lizzie Yarnold finished almost a second
:25:51. > :25:54.ahead of her nearest rival in the women's skeleton event. Our Sports
:25:55. > :26:01.Correspondent Andy Swiss was watching all the action in Sochi.
:26:02. > :26:13.Hurtling headfirst into Olympic history. 25-year-old Lizzy Yarnold,
:26:14. > :26:16.with her so-called Yarnie Army willing her own, could she now
:26:17. > :26:20.glided to glory? She is still in the lead by a comfortable margin... It
:26:21. > :26:24.is the sport's ultimate white knuckle ride, but she made it look
:26:25. > :26:29.so easy. By the last of her four runs, she led by nearly a second, a
:26:30. > :26:33.hefty advantage in a sport of tiny margins. On her trusty sled, which
:26:34. > :26:39.she calls move in, she scorched across the ice at almost 80 mph. The
:26:40. > :26:47.result was gloriously inevitable. That is brilliant. Look at
:26:48. > :26:50.everybody, unbelievable! A sporting journey that began after being
:26:51. > :26:53.talent spotted as a teenager had reached a deal had reached the
:26:54. > :26:57.autumn at goal. What a moment for Lizzy Yarnold and what a moment for
:26:58. > :27:04.the British fans here. They came here hoping for a gold medal and
:27:05. > :27:09.they delivered in spectacular style. Yeah, show the world what I'm
:27:10. > :27:16.capable of. I wanted to do ourselves justice and I can't believe I won
:27:17. > :27:21.the race. For her watching family, including her parents, there were
:27:22. > :27:28.cheers, tears and pure relief. She's only been competing for two years at
:27:29. > :27:34.this level. Although we hoped... We didn't want the pressure to be too
:27:35. > :27:41.much for her. And it wasn't. She's just so calm, so cool. Look at what
:27:42. > :27:47.she's done. 2000 miles away at her training base in Bath, more
:27:48. > :27:52.celebration. So, what is the secret of her success? She trains harder
:27:53. > :27:55.than anybody else, she stays in the gym longer, she spends more time on
:27:56. > :28:02.the push track and focuses on every little aspect of what she does, that
:28:03. > :28:05.stuns her above the rest. Today, how it all paid off. After Amy
:28:06. > :28:11.Williams's win four years ago, another golden moment for British
:28:12. > :28:17.winter sport, and an unforgettable one for Lizzy Yarnold.
:28:18. > :28:22.Congratulations to her. A reminder of our top story: Parts of Britain
:28:23. > :28:24.are being battered once more by stormy weather. Thousands of homes
:28:25. > :28:30.remain without power and various travel disruption affecting road,
:28:31. > :28:35.rail and air. This was the scene earlier in Penzance. When's of
:28:36. > :28:37.almost 80 mph work recorded. In Devon, the storm brought 40
:28:38. > :28:38.millimetres of rain in some
