Good afternoon. Two people have died and tens of thousands of homes are | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
still without power following the storms which battered Southern | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
England overnight. An 85-year-old man was killed when a cruise ship in | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
the English Channel was hit by a freak wave. And in Central London a | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
woman died after part of a building collapsed onto her car. In | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Hampshire, 30 people had to be rescued by the army from a seafront | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
restaurant. Angus Crawford reports. The morning after what should have | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
been a romantic night out. Glass shattered, woodwork scarred, cars | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
picked up, thrown against each other and scattered along the road. At | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Milford on Sea in Hampshire, around 30 people became trapped in a cafe. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
The emergency services and the military were called in to rescue | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
couples who had been enjoying a Valentine's Day meal out. Rocks and | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
stones from the beach were picked up by the gale and smashed against the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
building. To look at it, it was almost like the windows were | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
bending. All of a sudden, the outside of the window started | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
smashing. There were also deaths overnight. Here, masonry ripped from | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
the top of the building in Central London, crashed onto a busy street | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
below, destroying this minicab. The woman driver was killed and two | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
passengers taken to hospital. Out in the English Channel, a freak wave | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
hit this cruise ship. A man in his 80s died. The winds reached 80 miles | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
an hour in places, knocking down trees and power cables, blocking | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
roads and rail lines. A sinkhole, carved out by the water, opened up | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. It is 35 feet wide and 20 feet deep. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Local roads of closed. Some residents have been told to leave | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
their homes. At Lyme Regis in Dorset, the power of the waves | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
watched with respect by local people. Magnificent, I suppose, and | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
extremely dangerous. I won't be going anywhere near the club right | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
now. The gods are punishing us for something, I do not know what. I | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
hate to think what they are punishing us for. The threat is | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
passing. Forecasters say condition should ease in the next few days. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Our correspondent, Ben Moore, is in Milford on Sea in Hampshire. What | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
are conditions like there today? We are still being buffeted by gale | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
force winds at Milford on Sea. Just behind me here, you can see the | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
debris from the storm last night. That is essentially what remains of | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
the beach huts that line the front here, lifted up, smashed and | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
annihilated on the promenade. You can see the marine cafe. Contractors | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
and emergency workers are still there, assessing the damage, after | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
the storm winds and rocks off the beach smashed into it overnight. We | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
picked this up off the road just down. These the sorts of things that | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
were flying around last night. It is really incredible that no one was | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
more seriously injured. We are expecting the storms to abate. The | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
winds are about 60 miles an hour now. At the moment, it is difficult | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
to see with the weather as it is, how the clean-up operation will | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
begin before tomorrow. And our correspondent, Sian Lloyd, is in | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Worcester. Is more flooding is expected there? Water levels are | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
receding at the moment in Worcester, although we are expecting | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
another peak tomorrow morning. Environment Agency officials are | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
keeping a very close eye on the water levels in case the Worcester | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Bridge, the main route across the city, has to close again. It was | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
shut for three days and reopened to traffic at 6pm yesterday. Elsewhere | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
in the county of Worcestershire, the Army has been called in. People are | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
being transported around Upton upon seven. In Gloucestershire, sandbags | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
have been used to protect the 50. There remains a severe flood warning | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
in place. In Worcester, we have been hearing of work taking place across | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
the river with trees being chopped down. It will be a long time yet | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
before they get anything like back to normal here. In the United | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
States, at least 25 people have died in a huge winter storm that's swept | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
up the east coast. Most of the deaths were in car accidents on | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
roads covered in ice. Some parts of New York State saw more than two | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
feet of snow. Hundreds of thousands of homes are still without power. | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
The storm has now moved into Canada. The leader of the Roman Catholic | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
Church in England and Wales, Archbishop Vincent Nichols, has | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
criticised the Government's welfare reforms. He says poor families face | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
hunger and destitution because of the changes to unemployment, housing | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
and disability benefit. The Government said the measures would | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
help some of the poorest families transform their lives. Our political | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
correspondent, Tom Barton, reports. He leads the Roman Catholic Church | :05:29. | :05:42. | |
in England and Wales. A week today, he will head to the Vatican to be | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
made into a cardinal. Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Westminster, has now waded into a debate much closer to home, over | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
whether the Government 's welfare reforms are fair. The basic safety | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
net which would guarantee that people would not be left in hunger | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
and destitution has been to one apart. It no longer exists. That is | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
a real dramatic crisis. The comments are aimed at reforms being carried | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
out by the welfare secretary, Iain Duncan Smith. His flagship policy | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
aims to merge fix working age benefits, including jobseeker's | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
allowance, child tax credit and housing benefits, into a single | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
payment called universal credit. In a statement, the Department for Work | :06:33. | :06:33. | |
and Pensions said: last year, the Archbishop of | :06:34. | :06:50. | |
Canterbury, Justin Welby, also caused a row with ministers with a | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
similar attack on welfare reforms. This is clearly an issue some | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
religious figures feel is as much about ethics as it is about | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
politics. The latest round of peace talks between the Syrian government | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
and opposition groups in Geneva have ended abruptly after only a few | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
minutes. The UN mediator said no progress had been made and no date | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
had been set for further talks. And opposition negotiator said | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
differences remained over the issues of violence and political | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
transition. Tributes are being paid to one of England's greatest | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
footballers, Sir Tom Finney, who has died at the age of 91. He played for | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
his country 76 times, scoring thirty goals and famously spent his entire | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
career at one club, Preston North End. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Olly Foster looks back at his life. Tom Finney was the epitome of skill | :07:42. | :07:55. | |
and sportsmanship and yet he was never a full-time footballer. His | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
father made him take an apprenticeship in plumbing, so he | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
would have a trade to fall back on. He joined his hometown, Preston | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
North End, as a 15-year-old in 1937 and never played for any other side. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
His international career began in 1946, just six weeks after serving | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
with the Desert Rats in Africa. Two years later came a special match for | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
the anywhere and, in front of his wartime commanding officer, he | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
scored one of his 30 international goals against Scotland at Hamden | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Park. After football, his plumbing business thrived. But he also stayed | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
close to Preston. He was their president and the club named a new | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
stand after him at their Deepdale ground. To have it named after you | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
is presumably quite a thrill. To have spent here -- to have spent all | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
my career here and have a star named after you is an honour. Why to use | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
only the third footballer in history to be knighted. -- he is only the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
third football. Tom Finney would have been great in any football | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
team, in any match, in any age, even if he had been wearing an overcoat. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
The footballer, Sir Tom Finney, who has died, at the age of 91. At the | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Winter Games in Sochi, Britain's Elise Christie has been penalised | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
for a second time. The speed skater is out of the 1500 metre short track | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
event because she was a centimetre wide of the official finish line in | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
the qualifying heats. It comes two days after she was relegated from | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
the silver medal to eighth place in the 500 metre event because she | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
collided with two other skaters. You can see more on all of today's | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
stories on the BBC News Channel. That's it for now we'll be back at | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
6pm. Stay with us on BBC One. It's time for the news where you | :09:53. | :09:53. |
