The Queen uses her Christmas Day message to highlight the "moments | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
"of darkness" the world has faced over the past year but offers | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
services: "The light shines in the darkness, | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
"and the darkness has not overcome it". | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
The Army is called in to bolster flood defences in Cumbria ahead | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
of more heavy rain. The Archbishop of Canterbury warns | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
that Christianity is facing "elimination" in its birthplace, | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
In his Christmas message, Pope Francis calls for peace | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
Justin Bieber congratulates the NHS quieted beaten to the Christmas | :01:00. | :01:16. | |
number one. -- the NHS choir that beat him. The pop superstar said the | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
charity single was what Christmas is about. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
And join me for weather world, flash floods and some of the bigger storms | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
on earth. It is the weather making the news and the science behind it. | :01:38. | :01:53. | |
The Queen, in her Christmas Day broadcast, has spoken of the world | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
having to confront moments of darkness over the past year. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
But she also talked about the Christian message of light | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
overcoming darkness, and described Christmas as a time | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
for people to remember "all they have to be thankful for". | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Here's our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
On a damp day, the Queen departed promptly after the service, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
leaving younger members of the family to spend a few moments | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
In her Christmas broadcast, the Queen looked back at 2015. | :02:25. | :02:40. | |
There was much to be thankful for, she said, but although she did not | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
identify any particular incidents, there had also been tragedy. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
It is true the world has had to confront moments of darkness this | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
often read at Christmas carol services. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
70 years after the end of the Second World War, | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
she paid tribute to those who had served. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
The strong Christian theme continued when she spoke about people forced | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Despite being displaced and persecuted throughout his short | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
life, Christ's unchanging message was not one of revenge or violence, | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
but simply that we should love one another. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
There was also a reference to the birth of a great grandchild, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
One of the joys of a long life is watching one's children, | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
then grandchildren, then great grandchildren, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
decorate the Christmas tree, and this year my family has | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
And she looked ahead to next year and a significant personal landmark. | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
I am looking forward to a busy 2016, although I am warned I may have | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Happy Birthday sung to me more than once or twice. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
That was in reference to the fact that the Queen | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Despite the passing of the years, 2016 will, as she said, | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
The Army has been brought in to help protect flood-hit | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
With up to six inches of rain forecast for the area today, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
the Government's emergency committee, Cobra, has been | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
From the village of Braithwaite, our correspondent reports. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
If you look down here, the river has overflowed once. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
Christmas Day in Cumbria, and along with yet more rain came | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
the military to help prepare for the threat of more flooding. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The houses are all quite low-lying, so therefore if we don't prepare | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
in advance, a lot of houses would possibly get hit | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
This is what we want to try to avoid at all costs, really. | :04:59. | :05:14. | |
When water poured into this home three weeks ago, | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
it happened so quickly that the only way out was through the windows. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
We got my mum to come over here, and I heard someone shout, run! | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
Here as in many parts of Cumbria, it does not seem to have stopped | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
In some places it even flooded three times in as many weeks. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Now with a weather warning in place, all they can do is wait, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
watch and hope that it does not happen again. | :05:56. | :06:06. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has used his | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Christmas Day sermon to warn that an "apocalypse" unleashed | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
by so-called Islamic State means Christianity is facing elimination | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Meanwhile, Pope Francis has appealed for reconciliation, | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
after a year of violence around the world. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
Our religious affairs correspondent reports. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Goodwill, a cheery greeting from the Archbishop of Canterbury | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
as he arrives at Canterbury Cathedral. | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
But as Christians gather to celebrate the birth of Christ | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
at services across the world, his message today was a sombre one. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The Archbishop focused on the devastation unleashed | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
by the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq saying it used force | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
He compared it to a modern-day Herod, the biblical king | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
who massacred babies while trying to kill Jesus. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
They hate difference, whether Muslims who think | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Because of them, the Christians face elimination in the very region | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
That was a message echoed in Rome today. | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
Pope Francis was greeted with enthusiasm on St | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
TRANSLATION: My thoughts also turn to those affected by terrorism, | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
particularly the recent massacres in Egyptian airspace, | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
The Pope asked for prayers and strength for all Christians | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
persecuted for their faith, calling them the martyrs of today. | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
Closer to home in north Yorkshire, there was a Christmas service | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
for those who couldn't go to one at this prison. | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
He offered words of hope to those imprisoned, | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
lonely and feeling lost or abandoned, saying the message | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
of Christmas was one of hope and salvation. | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
The commander of one of Syria's most powerful rebel groups has been | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
It's believed Zahran Aloush, the head of the Jaysh al-Islam | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
organisation, died at his headquarters in a rebel-held | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
district in the eastern parts of Damascus. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Reports said a number of other key figures in the group were also | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
killed in the airstrike which Syrian activists claim was carried out | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
In Iraq, security forces are conducting a third day | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
of operations against so-called Islamic State fighters | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
as they try to liberate the city of Ramadi. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
The strategically important city is just 100km west of Baghdad | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
and has been under the control of the Islamists since May. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Government forces are reported to have surrounded the last | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Many civilians are trapped in the midst of the fighting. | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
The Nigerian government says dozens of people were killed | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
after an explosion at a butane gas depot in the south of the country. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
The fire raged for more than five hours before being extinguished. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Locals had come to the butane gas plant to fill up the canisters | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
in preparation for Christmas Day meals and a huge inferno erupted. | :09:38. | :09:49. | |
It was so powerful that it damaged houses in the nearby area. | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
It also injuried those passing by and many who had come | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Survivors describe seeing bodies, including those of children, | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
and they had suffered terrible burns. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
I said that we had to run as this thing was very dangerous. | :10:06. | :10:18. | |
I started to get hit in the back and falling down. | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
The blaze was so fierce it took more than five hours to put out. | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
The Nigerian president expressed his sadness | :10:25. | :10:25. | |
Police are still investigating the cause of the explosion. | :10:26. | :10:40. | |
Finding out what was behind this horrible accident will be difficult | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
because many who were there did not survive. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
It is not known what the final death toll will be, but the number | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
The prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, has made a surprise | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
It was the first trip there by an Indian leader since 2004. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Mr Modi stopped off in Lahore on his way back from Afghanistan. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Our correspondent, Shaima Khalil, reports from Kabul. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Narendra Modi's visit to Pakistan was always going to be | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
It is the spontaneous, impersonal nature of the visit that | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
He announced his visit through a tweet saying | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
he was going to drop by to see President Nawaz Sharif, | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
The two men have a lot to discuss, including the decades-long conflict | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
The two countries have fought three wars, two of them over Kashmir. | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
It has been a flash point for more than 60 years and clashes there have | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Many see his visit as a solid step into the warming of relations | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
But there is a long way to go before that is transferred into peace | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
What added to the confusion of Narendra Modi's stopover | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
was that it came after a visit to the Afghan capital. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
He inaugurated a new parliament complex built by India | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
and in a speech he spoke about security in Afghanistan | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
and said that terrorists should stop flowing across the border, | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
That is deep mistrust between India and Pakistan, especially over | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
the competition over influence in Afghanistan. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
There is always talk of gestures when it comes to the warming | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
of relations between the two rivals, the handshakes, the photo | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
opportunities, the sideline conversations at international | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
As far as gestures are concerned, Narendra Modi's surprise visit | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
From the first of January, many private cars will be ordered | :12:50. | :13:05. | |
off the roads of Delhi, as part of efforts to tackle air pollution. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
New rules mean vehicles with odd and even numberered licence plates | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
will have to operate on alternative days. | :13:12. | :13:12. | |
The government in Delhi is coming up with a number of steps to crack down | :13:13. | :13:26. | |
on pollution. They have said that this road is our free. It is to | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
encourage people to use other ways to get to work. -- it is free from | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
cars. But what it has done is created a bottleneck in a crowded | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
part of the city and there is even more chaos than before, partly | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
because no one is sure how this is meant to work, including the police. | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
What are your options if you do not want to drive to work? The | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
authorities have set up cycle stands through the city. You can rent a | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
bike for 15 cents an hour and off you go. Steady. This is the problem, | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
Delhi is not a very cycling friendly city. You have to share the space | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
with all the other traffic. It is a bit frightening. If this is going to | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
work, this initiative, they need to get more cars off the road. And | :14:32. | :14:43. | |
opens cycling lanes is otherwise idle think I am up for this. If you | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
don't want to take your life in your hands and you want a more | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
comfortable option you can always carpool. There are a number of | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
telephone apps you can use. I've clicked on one page a request. It | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
has taken a bit of time that it is finally here. It is a simple idea. | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
You share this with other people who are travelling in the same | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
direction. The government wants to encourage this, they want to get | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
more people using less vehicles on the road. That is a way to Jews | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
traffic and it will combat pollution. It is a sensible idea, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
but there is a question of safety, especially for women in a city where | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
this has always been an issue. The Queen | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
uses her Christmas Day address to speak of light triumphing over | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
the moments of darkness the world The Army is called in to support | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
efforts to protect parts of Cumbria More than 100 flood warnings and | :15:49. | :16:03. | |
alert are in place across Britain. -- 140. | :16:04. | :16:04. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury warns of the threat that the so-called | :16:05. | :16:07. | |

A record 28 foreign boats will compete in this year's Sydney | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
to Hobart yacht race, one of the world's most | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
It began in 1945, and pits amateur sailors against professional crews. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
More than 100 vessels will start the race on Boxing Day. | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
Phil Mercer reports from Wild Rose, last year's overall winner. | :16:25. | :16:39. | |
The Sydney to Hobart is one of the toughest yacht races | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
in the world, and it starts here on beautiful Sydney Harbour. | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
From here, the fleet will head into open water and head south and, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
ahead, an 1,100 kilometre journey down eastern Australia heading | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
The beautiful thing about the Rolex Sydney to Hobart | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
is you can mix the super professionals, the massive elegant | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
supermaxis, right through to the amateur boats, | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
We don't see much of them, but we do the same event. | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
And I think that's what's absolutely magic about ocean racing in general. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
Of course, taking control of the helm and steering | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
on Sydney Harbour is one thing, but dealing with the wild conditions | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
en route to Tasmania is something completely different. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
In 1998, six sailors died when a wild storm lashed the fleet. | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
The race record is one day and 18 hours, but every boat | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
is at the mercy of conditions that are notoriously unpredictable. | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
We go from this beautiful weather off New South Wales | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
into Bass Strait, which can be lovely or horrible, | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
down into Tasmania, which is gorgeous, but it can be | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
And so, the race holds a mystery, a myriad of mysteries weather-wise. | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
20-year-old Sam Scott competed for the first time last year. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
There was an early bout of nausea and then the boat lost its steering | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
and fell on its side, but still went on to become | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Very hard work, very beautiful, but very, very tough work. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
The first night, I was horribly seasick. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
We lost our steering, we blew up a spinnaker. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
But everyone just worked so well together as a team to get the boat | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
back upright and to get everything done that gets you through. | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
The dash to Hobart may be dominated by the multi-million dollar | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
supermaxis, but it's the amateur sailors in their smaller boats that | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
are the soul of this famous old race. | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
It is as popular as ever, attracting yachts from Britain, | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Phil Mercer, BBC News, at Rushcutter's Bay in Sydney. | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
It's a simple idea to connect people who like to cook | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
and who are up for sharing an extra plate of hot, | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
home-cooked food with someone who could really benefit from one. | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
The Casserole Club aims to do just that, as well as combat loneliness | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Tim Muffett has been to Staffordshire to meet | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
It's a new life you've got to get used to. | :19:22. | :19:40. | |
He's a widower and his wife did all the cooking before and it's very | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
difficult in your 80s to pick up those sort of skills from scratch. | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
Derrick and Jez both live in Tamworth. | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
Casserole Club has brought them together. | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
Basically, people cook an extra portion and pair up with people | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
and the local community who are looking for a meal | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Jez supplied me with two lovely meals, not just | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
I eat one when he brings it and I save another for later | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
It's been very fulfilling for both of us, I think. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
The first rule of Casserole Club, it doesn't have to be a casserole. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
I've got a chicken portion in the oven, some stuffing, | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
The idea began in Surrey four years ago. | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
Since then, Casserole Club has spread. | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
More than 7,000 people have signed up, but Christmas is the time | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
According to Age UK, more than 1 million people aged over | :20:45. | :21:16. | |
65 are malnourished, not eating enough decent food | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
to stay healthy, but this isn't just about nutrition, | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
We have a good chat every week and keep in touch and it's been very | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
He's helped me to get out of a bit of a doldrum. | :21:31. | :21:45. | |
Charities and councils have been providing meals on wheels | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
back, and for Derrick at least, Casserole Club has other advantages. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Meals on wheels used to be mass produced meals, | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
whereas this is more home-cooked food. | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
For Derrick, Jez and his partner Elaine, Casserole Club has provided | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
A hospital choir from south London has reached the top of the charts, | :22:09. | :22:23. | |
taking the coveted Christmas number one spot. | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir, fought off stiff competition | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
from the Canadian singer, Justin Bieber. | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
I can officially announce that the UK's official Christmas | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
The moment the choir had been waiting for. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
The single was released to raise money for health charities and pay | :22:42. | :22:57. | |
tribute to the National Health Service. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
That was what it was all about, for all of the other people | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
in the NHS, so I hope it gives them that lift. | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
I hoped, but I really didn't think it would happen. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
Justin Bieber is such a superstar worldwide. | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Bieber, last week's number one, had asked his 70-million-plus | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Twitter followers to help the NHS Choir win. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Charity singles offering top the Christmas chart. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
It also celebrates the work of the NHS across the entire country. | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
With the new number one announced on Christmas Day itself, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
it seems appropriate that this year in particular should see people | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
at all levels of music together with members of the public | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
using the chance to send their own seasonal message. | :23:48. | :23:59. | |
Our correspondent, James Longman, was with the choir when they found | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Some members of choir behind me now and we just | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
There is also the news that you're treading on Twitter. | :24:12. | :24:26. | |
Why did you want to get involved in the choir? | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
I joined when it started because I like singing and I thought | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
it would be good to get to know people at work, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
but I never dream that it would to this. | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
When Justin Bieber treated and told us fans to buy the single | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
I didn't believe it and I was sending screenshots | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
and asking people that was the real Justin Bieber, | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
The song is a mash up of a song by Simon and Garfunkel | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
The NHS supports people in troubled times and it is going through some | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
We want to bring solutions and help people as much as they can. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
You are behind this whole thing and a couple of months ago | :25:10. | :25:32. | |
you decided to relaunch the song that had been written a couple | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
I started this campaign at the end of October because I thought it | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
would be a good way to boost morale in the NHS, because it is so low | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
I thought it was a good way to get the NHS to the top of the agenda | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
and I'm so happy that we have done that today. | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
It has been a difficult year for the NHS. | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
There have been a lot of talks about strike action. | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
How do you think the British public will receive it? | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
The amount of support we have had on social media, | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
this has been a grassroots campaign and we are touched by the amount | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
of messages and stories that people have been telling us about the NHS | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
I think there is a powerful message about how much we love the NHS | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
That is a very good question but I did not sleep much. | :26:19. | :26:31. | |
I cannot think of a better cause to do this for and so many people | :26:32. | :26:34. | |

The British astronaut, Tim Peake, may be achieving great things | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
in space, but he's not been as successful in making | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
He attempted to phone home and on reaching the number said: | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
But the woman at the other end got a bit of a shock, | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
In a tweet later, Major Tim apologised, insisting it wasn't | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Merry Christmas. Sadly there is very little goodwill from the weather | :27:28. | :27:47. | |
over this festive season and there is more rain to come. You can see | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
that it has been wet across northern England, North Wales and much of | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Scotland. The same goes for Northern Ireland, it will stay wet in these | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
areas through the night. There will be some snow in the hills across | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
central and northern Scotland. On the side that will be some rain for | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
a time but much of southern England will be largely dry and really mild | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
temperatures staying in the teens. In the north it will be colder | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
temperatures close to freezing in Shetland. Southern areas. Mild | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
tomorrow and we should see some bricks developing in the cloud | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
across parts of the East and brightness as possible, but the main | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
thing has to be this band of rain. Where it lives and where we see the | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
heaviest downpour is open to some doubt that it is looks very wet | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
across northern Wales and southern Scotland and there is an amber | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
preprepared morning in place across Cumbria and Lancashire. There is a | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
threat of further flooding. There will be snow across the far north of | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
Scotland. The potential for some heavy rain across eastern Scotland. | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
Southern Scotland and northern England and Wales have a risk of | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
flooding and there is an amber warning in place for Boxing Day. | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
Some rain in Northern Ireland but the north-west will be drier. Much | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
of southern England will also stay dry and it will be really mild at 15 | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
Celsius, with the wet weather in the North it will feel quite bleak of | :29:16. | :29:22. | |
5-6 Celsius. It is not great your travelling anywhere in northern | :29:23. | :29:24. | |
Britain and there is the potential for disruption. Local radio would be | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
a good source of information. On Sunday to still potentially rainy | :29:31. | :29:32. | |
across northern England and parts of Wales although that will fizzle out. | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
The band of rain as it weakens will mark the boundary between the cold | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
air in the north and the sunny conditions and southern England and | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
southern Wales. It will be a grey and breezy day and little will | :29:47. | :29:55. | |
change over the next few days. There is potentially a storm arriving on | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
Shuster Wednesday and we will keep you updated on that. All of the | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
warnings are online. | :30:02. | :30:16. |
