:00:00. > :00:09.More bad weather predicted as the Government tells local authorities

:00:10. > :00:14.they need clearer plans to deal with the aftermath of storms. 3,000 homes

:00:15. > :00:22.are still without power - energy companies are also told to raise

:00:23. > :00:24.their game. Negotiators give Northern Ireland's

:00:25. > :00:32.political parties until Monday to come up with a deal to resolve their

:00:33. > :00:35.divisions. In Cairo, supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood clash

:00:36. > :00:42.with police - a student is killed, scores are arrested.

:00:43. > :00:44.And meltdown in Melbourne as England lose their nerve in the fourth Ashes

:00:45. > :01:14.Test. Hello, good evening. As more storms

:01:15. > :01:18.are predicted to hit the UK, David Cameron has warned local authorities

:01:19. > :01:21.to have clearer plans in place to deal with the aftermath. Around

:01:22. > :01:23.3,000 homes in England and Wales remain without power as the clean-up

:01:24. > :01:28.following the Christmas storms continues. Flood warnings remain in

:01:29. > :01:33.place in parts of northern and southern England.

:01:34. > :01:36.And there's more heavy rain due on Monday, with Scotland, Wales and the

:01:37. > :01:44.South-West of England likely to be affected. Daniella Relph reports. In

:01:45. > :01:52.Kent, the lights are finally back on. Most of the village has been

:01:53. > :01:55.without power since Christmas Eve. There was obvious relief from

:01:56. > :02:02.homeowners after a difficult few days. Absolutely awful, even at the

:02:03. > :02:07.top of the village, we have been without power, so you can imagine,

:02:08. > :02:11.all your Christmas food deteriorating in the fridge rapidly.

:02:12. > :02:17.I think there has been a lot of eating! There has been timed to

:02:18. > :02:22.clear up and clear out. Carpets, furniture and bedding, soaked and

:02:23. > :02:31.thrown away. A frustrating and upsetting time for residents. Do not

:02:32. > :02:38.talk to us about an emergency plan! This local politician saw the anger

:02:39. > :02:41.for himself today. We need to urge government to yield flood defences

:02:42. > :02:50.for the village of yielding because every time, we get substantial

:02:51. > :02:53.rainfall and we get the hardest hit. There is still shot at the ferocity

:02:54. > :02:57.of the weather. This was the moment the water began to flood a hotel

:02:58. > :03:02.near Bath, gushing into the dining room, causing a huge amount of

:03:03. > :03:09.damage during one of the busiest times of the year. Christmas was

:03:10. > :03:14.cancelled here. I didn't ring -- enjoy ringing everyone who had

:03:15. > :03:21.booked saying they couldn't come, hopefully I won't do the same the

:03:22. > :03:25.New Year's Day. In Cumbria, 24,000 people had to have their power

:03:26. > :03:31.restored. The government is now urging power suppliers to keep

:03:32. > :03:34.customers better informed. People do except when there is severe weather

:03:35. > :03:38.there is sometimes a disruption to their supply but they want no one

:03:39. > :03:44.was going to come back on some complained their lives. The areas

:03:45. > :03:50.worst affected over Christmas may now find themselves hit again by bad

:03:51. > :03:55.weather over New Year, and that means more pressure on local

:03:56. > :03:58.councils, power suppliers and the emergency services. The government

:03:59. > :04:02.are warning they must have a robust plan in place to deal with any

:04:03. > :04:05.disruption. Our Political Correspondent Iain

:04:06. > :04:13.Watson is in Westminster. Pressure on the government and the energy

:04:14. > :04:19.industry over the disruption? What are we to make of it emergency

:04:20. > :04:22.meeting today? Politically the government was trying to achieve two

:04:23. > :04:26.things, firstly responding to the kind of criticism that the prime

:04:27. > :04:30.minister hurt himself yesterday in on his visit to Kent, people find it

:04:31. > :04:36.difficult to contact councils and power companies in a crisis. So the

:04:37. > :04:42.public government want a public line, and secondly he hoped people

:04:43. > :04:46.would get the power back. They also want to Internet the government from

:04:47. > :04:50.future criticism. With more bad weather on its way, the government

:04:51. > :04:53.is trying to move some of that pressure onto local councils by

:04:54. > :04:59.saying to them, we will make money available to you to have emergency

:05:00. > :05:02.staff, set up helplines, but is your responsibility to deliver it. Labour

:05:03. > :05:06.saving government have been dragging their feet on this and they wanted

:05:07. > :05:10.to prove today that they can give councils and power companies a bit

:05:11. > :05:13.of a kick if need be. Northern Ireland's political leaders

:05:14. > :05:16.have spent the day trying to reach agreement on how to solve some of

:05:17. > :05:19.the most contentious issues still causing division. The former

:05:20. > :05:22.American diplomat Richard Haass, who's chairing the talks, says

:05:23. > :05:30.parties have until the end of Monday to come up with a deal. Claire

:05:31. > :05:33.Savage reports from Stormont. Scenes of violence, a sign of

:05:34. > :05:37.instability born out of the of division. Images all-too-familiar

:05:38. > :05:43.with Northern Ireland that most don't want repeated. The recent

:05:44. > :05:47.trouble is blamed on contentious unresolved issues like parades, how

:05:48. > :05:53.to deal with the issues of the past and flags. Doctor Richard Haass and

:05:54. > :05:59.Meghan O'Sullivan are back in Belfast and try and get the five

:06:00. > :06:03.main parties to reach an agreement. A final opportunity to come together

:06:04. > :06:09.on an agreement that we believe could and would change Northern

:06:10. > :06:15.Ireland for the better. The Deputy first minute says a no deal will be

:06:16. > :06:19.embarrassing. This is the greatest opportunity would possibly ever will

:06:20. > :06:21.have to move forward in a way that gives people confident in

:06:22. > :06:29.politicians that we have the ability to take difficult decisions. Richard

:06:30. > :06:32.has failed to get all-party agreement before Christmas. That

:06:33. > :06:35.deadline has now shifted to adjust after the New Year. Partitions that

:06:36. > :06:40.they appeared slightly more optimistic that a deal could be

:06:41. > :06:46.reached. But tonight the talks rock up with no agreement so far. There

:06:47. > :06:50.are a number of significant things that need to be resolved

:06:51. > :06:56.particularly like parades, so we are determined to try and close the gap

:06:57. > :06:58.if we can. Talks will resume on Monday but despite that

:06:59. > :07:04.determination, it's understood there are still some way to go.

:07:05. > :07:06.A soldier who was killed in action in Afghanistan before Christmas has

:07:07. > :07:10.been named by the Ministry of Defence. Captain Richard Holloway

:07:11. > :07:15.was 29 and served with the Royal Engineers. He was from County

:07:16. > :07:20.Durham. Captain Holloway was shot during an operation east of the

:07:21. > :07:23.capital, Kabul. A British woman and her young

:07:24. > :07:27.daughter are among several people who've been injured in an explosion

:07:28. > :07:29.at a hotel on the Spanish island of Tenerife. Local authorities said the

:07:30. > :07:33.woman's being treated for severe burns to her face and scalp while

:07:34. > :07:36.her eight-year old daughter suffered burns to her neck and ear following

:07:37. > :07:40.the blast in a resort on the south-west coast of the island.

:07:41. > :07:49.Local reports suggest it was caused by a metal canister exploding at the

:07:50. > :07:52.hotel's poolside bar. A student's been killed and scores

:07:53. > :07:58.arrested after clashes with police at a leading Islamic University in

:07:59. > :08:01.Cairo. The protests were in support of the ousted Government party, the

:08:02. > :08:04.Muslim Brotherhood - they were declared a terrorist group earlier

:08:05. > :08:08.this week. Egyptian state TV blamed the students for setting fire to two

:08:09. > :08:19.university buildings, a claim the students deny. From Cairo, Bethany

:08:20. > :08:24.Bell reports. Black smoke at Cairo's Al-Azhar

:08:25. > :08:28.University. To campus buildings caught fire in the latest clashes

:08:29. > :08:33.between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and the police.

:08:34. > :08:39.Officials say pro-Muslim Brotherhood students were trying to stop their

:08:40. > :08:44.classmates from sitting exams. One person was killed in the clashes.

:08:45. > :08:50.The stand-off between the Egyptian authorities and the Muslim

:08:51. > :08:53.Brotherhood is deepening. Security forces now have greater powers to

:08:54. > :08:59.clamp down on the Muslim Brotherhood. People protesting in

:09:00. > :09:04.support of the Islamist group now face up to five years in prison. Its

:09:05. > :09:11.leaders could face the death penalty. Hundreds of people have

:09:12. > :09:14.been arrested in recent days. The head of the army says Egypt will

:09:15. > :09:20.remain steadfast in the face of terrorism. But the violence and the

:09:21. > :09:27.protests show no sign of stopping. The Muslim Brotherhood says it

:09:28. > :09:30.struggle will continue. It's been another busy day of

:09:31. > :09:40.sporting action - with all the details, here's Olly Foster at the

:09:41. > :09:44.BBC Sport Centre. Good evening. We start with cricket. It's advantage

:09:45. > :09:48.Australia again after an England batting collapse in the fourth Ashes

:09:49. > :10:01.test. Lay resumes in an hour. Australia had ten wickets in hand

:10:02. > :10:16.and the 200 more runs to go 4-0 up. Prospects seem brighter today.

:10:17. > :10:19.English cricket may be under a cloud but here today prospects seemed

:10:20. > :10:23.brighter. In soaring temperatures a chance to turn up the heat on their

:10:24. > :10:25.opponents. England needed one more wicket to press home their

:10:26. > :10:28.advantage. Unfortunately for them, Australia added 40 priceless runs.

:10:29. > :10:32.Brad Haddin was finally caught for 65. England's lead was 51, still

:10:33. > :10:35.useful but they had to build on it. Alastair Cook set about the task.

:10:36. > :10:38.But England were about to collapse twice. First Mitchell Johnson. There

:10:39. > :10:42.was a ghastly spell of three wickets for one run as panic set in. Michael

:10:43. > :10:46.Carberry, Joe Root, and Ian Bell all gone to leave England in crisis. 87

:10:47. > :10:51.for four. As in the first innings, everything seemed to depend on Kevin

:10:52. > :10:55.Pietersen. Kevin Pietersen was taking no chances, pulling away late

:10:56. > :11:03.when distracted. Johnson let him know what he thought of that. But in

:11:04. > :11:06.a tour full of batting horror shows, England were about to outdo

:11:07. > :11:13.themselves, five wickets falling for six runs. Nathan Lyon with five

:11:14. > :11:18.victims. The tourists crumbled to 179 all-out. Australia could not

:11:19. > :11:31.have made a better start in chasing their 231 run target. England are in

:11:32. > :11:34.danger of going 4-0 down. After arguably the worst batting display

:11:35. > :11:39.of the series, England have somehow turned a hugely promising position

:11:40. > :11:42.into a perilous one. Australia still have work to do but England may just

:11:43. > :11:52.have squandered their best chance of avoiding the whitewash. The FA will

:11:53. > :11:55.investigate claims that Nicolas Anelka made an anti-Semitic gesture

:11:56. > :12:00.during their match at West Ham today. The French sports Mr

:12:01. > :12:04.described his goal celebration as shocking and disgusting but Anelka

:12:05. > :12:08.defended it saying it was a special dedication to a well-known French

:12:09. > :12:15.comedian who has been criticised by Jewish groups in France. All the

:12:16. > :12:17.Premier League goals are coming up on much of the day, here are the

:12:18. > :12:44.results. Saracens are still top of the Viva

:12:45. > :12:51.Premiership. Second place Northampton beat has stop there was

:12:52. > :12:55.a crowd of 75,000 at cooking them for the match between Harlequins and

:12:56. > :13:03.Exeter. Mike Brown scored the last of three tries.

:13:04. > :13:06.A rare painting by the great 17th century artist Anthony Van Dyck has

:13:07. > :13:12.been discovered by a priest in the Peak District. Originally bought for

:13:13. > :13:17.?400, it had previously been dismissed as a copy. But after more

:13:18. > :13:27.detailed investigation and careful restoration it has been revealed as

:13:28. > :13:30.genuine. Fiona Bruce reports. It was at a recording of the

:13:31. > :13:34.antiques road show in Gloucestershire that the mystery of

:13:35. > :13:45.the priest's painting was uncovered. I bought it in Nantwich in an

:13:46. > :13:49.antiques show. I spent 400. I was making a programme with our

:13:50. > :13:54.paintings expert about van Dyck and we spent weeks looking at his

:13:55. > :13:59.paintings. When I saw this, something about the eyes and the way

:14:00. > :14:02.you can almost see the bone out of the nose here, it just looked

:14:03. > :14:08.similar to the kind of paintings I have been looking at. Restoration of

:14:09. > :14:14.the painting took months as layers of later additional paint had to be

:14:15. > :14:15.carefully removed to expose the original 17th-century brushstrokes

:14:16. > :14:22.beneath. It was quite a transformation. In 1634 Van Dyck did

:14:23. > :14:29.a huge painting, it was a group portrait. Tragically, 60 years later

:14:30. > :14:34.it was destroyed, and it is only recorded through a few sketches.

:14:35. > :14:41.This is, I think, rather similar to yours. An independent expert had

:14:42. > :14:48.looked at Father Jamie 's painting and delivered his verdict. Jamie,

:14:49. > :14:55.I'm delighted to be able to tell you that you do have a work by Sir

:14:56. > :15:02.Anthony Van Dyck. So what do you think? You are the owner of a Van

:15:03. > :15:08.Dyck! I am completely shocked. You told me if you were to sell it, you

:15:09. > :15:15.were going to buy some new bells for the chapel. Yes, I would like this

:15:16. > :15:18.country to be able to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First

:15:19. > :15:28.World War. I think that as a nation, we owe that to the people who gave

:15:29. > :15:30.their lives. So a portrait bought for ?400 is now worth 400,000 thanks

:15:31. > :15:41.to this old Brussels dignitary. You can see more about the discovery

:15:42. > :15:44.of the Van Dyck portrait on the Antiques road show Xmas special at

:15:45. > :15:50.seven o'clock tomorrow evening on BBC One. You can see more on all of

:15:51. > :15:52.today's stories on the BBC News Channel. That's all from me

:15:53. > :16:16.Goodnight. Good evening. The weather tonight, a

:16:17. > :16:21.widespread frost, but a quieter, try a Sunday before the wind and rain

:16:22. > :16:26.returns tomorrow evening. We do have an issue with ice already starting

:16:27. > :16:27.to form in some localities, a
