:01:45. > :01:46.of Cumbria. Still some rain to come this evening but nowhere near as

:01:47. > :01:52.significant in terms of rainfall totals. It is spreading across parts

:01:53. > :01:57.of West Scotland, down towards the Lake District. We could see if other

:01:58. > :02:01.ten or 30 millimetres quite widely before the night goes through. That

:02:02. > :02:04.rain pushes through steadily eastwards overnight and we will see

:02:05. > :02:09.a scattering of showers following on behind. Slightly quieter weather

:02:10. > :02:15.conditions for the second half of the night. This weather fronts it's

:02:25. > :02:30.morning, we start off with that rain clearing, it will be bright and

:02:31. > :02:34.breezy as the day continues. Sunny spells and a scattering of showers.

:02:35. > :02:40.Widespread fraud the North and West. As they go through the day, the

:02:41. > :02:43.showers, the heaviest will be across the West course, down through

:02:44. > :02:47.Northern Ireland and the West coast of Scotland. The Eastern areas

:02:48. > :02:57.seeing some sunshine. The winds will swing to the West, sex and 8 degrees

:03:37. > :03:39.is worth stressing that yes, there is father of ten or 12 Celsius. It

:03:40. > :03:42.is worth stressing that yes, there is another thing, but nowhere near

:03:43. > :04:06.as extreme as the weather event of the weekend. Also some dry spells.

:04:07. > :04:12.You are watching BBC News with Clive Myrie. We will look at the

:04:13. > :04:21.newspapers in a moment. Firstly, the headlines.

:04:22. > :04:23.More than 40,000 homes have been affected by flooding and power

:04:24. > :04:25.outages, after record rainfall across parts of Northern England.

:05:11. > :05:18.match in the Premier League between Everton and Crystal Palace.

:05:19. > :05:23.And we hear Abbott Michel Platini taking his Fifa ban right to the

:05:24. > :05:24.top. And we will give you more information on BBC Sport personality

:05:25. > :05:50.of the year. Firstly, The Papers. A good evening and welcome to our

:05:51. > :06:03.look ahead to The Papers. We speak to the political commentator,

:06:04. > :06:11.Miranda Green. And also Christopher Hope, the chief political

:06:12. > :06:36.correspondent for the Telegraph. Here are the latest headlines...

:06:37. > :06:42.The Financial Times leads with the news that oil prices have reached

:06:43. > :06:44.their lowest level for almost seven years.

:06:45. > :06:48.the success of the French far-right party the Front National in the

:06:49. > :06:51.country's regional elections and says mainstream politicians are

:06:52. > :06:53.The Metro warns that the flood-affected areas

:06:54. > :07:01.hit by another six inches of rain over the next 24 hours.

:07:02. > :07:05.says thousands of new homes are set to be built on green belt land in

:07:06. > :07:09.what it calls "the biggest relaxation of planning protection

:07:10. > :07:12.The Guardian leads with the floods in Cumbria, saying that

:07:13. > :07:15.the Prime Minister is coming under pressure to review the government's

:07:16. > :07:18.And The Mail carries a criticism from the health

:07:19. > :07:21.ombudsman that families affected by medical blunders are being fobbed

:07:22. > :07:30.Only one place to begin, Miranda Green, with the floods.

:07:31. > :07:35.Yes, terrible news. You cannot imagine what that must be like,

:07:36. > :07:39.clearing out your home after the last day of edge and expecting and

:07:40. > :07:44.waiting for another one. Watching people on the news programmes, it is

:07:45. > :07:47.the idea that it is Christmas time, the time of year when everyone wants

:07:48. > :07:53.to be at home with the family and also, for a lot of people, you think

:07:54. > :07:57.of the people from Carlile, the thought that the flood defences had

:07:58. > :08:01.been put in place, especially after the last appalling flood, and here

:08:02. > :08:11.they are again. We all just feel for them so much. Carlisle. -- Carlile.

:08:12. > :08:14.In one case, the metal looks at a family who had been flooded a few

:08:15. > :08:23.years ago, they had new defences built and still the same problem. So

:08:24. > :08:28.much rainfall in 24 hours. No wonder people are wondering where has all

:08:29. > :08:31.the money gone, the company is doing its best and they are trying to do

:08:32. > :08:37.with this problem and spend money accordingly. It happens while we are

:08:38. > :08:41.looking at the issues of global warming in Paris. Perhaps there is a

:08:42. > :08:50.connection there. Jeremy Corbyn has said that the weather is very bad.

:08:51. > :08:56.This is going to be a pattern looking forward. The science is

:08:57. > :09:01.clear, murk warmer air means it can hold more moisture. It is a simple

:09:02. > :09:06.as that. Even climate change deniers, or at least those that

:09:07. > :09:11.leave it is not man made responsible for that, they would agree with that

:09:12. > :09:14.sentiment. The front page of the Daily Mail, the photograph, after

:09:15. > :09:21.the flood, the clean-up, what you were seeing, Miranda, you know,

:09:22. > :09:24.coming up to Christmas, people have the presence, all of the festive

:09:25. > :09:31.tinsel, whatever, it has been destroyed. It is awful. Yes, this

:09:32. > :09:37.pro-women on the front page of mild, desperately trying to get rid

:09:38. > :09:43.of all of the mud and the sludge. -- this poor woman. The feeling that

:09:44. > :09:55.you know that she might have to do it all over again in a few days'

:09:56. > :09:59.time. It is quite upsetting. It is not clean water, it is dirty and

:10:00. > :10:04.smelly water, that picture captures the misery of the old thing really

:10:05. > :10:08.well. But what does the government do? The front page of the Telegraph,

:10:09. > :10:12.record rainfall and more flooding on the way. This was a freak

:10:13. > :10:17.occurrence, but as we have discussed, there was a freak

:10:18. > :10:20.occurrence two years ago, there is a pattern, there seems to be something

:10:21. > :10:25.going on. Is it simply the fact that, Miranda, we are spending too

:10:26. > :10:31.much time in five areas, that we should actually should not be living

:10:32. > :10:34.in those areas? That is really difficult, because somewhere like

:10:35. > :10:39.Cumbria, historic towns, there is clearly an issue in some parts of

:10:40. > :10:44.the UK with building on flood plains. It is debatable whether, you

:10:45. > :10:47.know, some of those housing developments should have been

:10:48. > :10:52.allowed to go ahead. We saw that in the flooding a few years ago. But

:10:53. > :10:56.this, you know, over the last couple of days, Carlyle is an ancient

:10:57. > :11:06.settlement, it was a Roman settlement. It is not a question of

:11:07. > :11:10.wanting to sort of start again on an erroneous recent plan, we have got

:11:11. > :11:15.to find a way like the low-lying countries of Europe have done.

:11:16. > :11:20.Planning for this, in a country like the Netherlands, it is a major part

:11:21. > :11:26.of their spending on infrastructure to make sure that the human

:11:27. > :11:30.settlements are safe. We have got to be creative in terms of how we deal

:11:31. > :11:34.with this problem. And we have to spend money on it. It is

:11:35. > :11:40.interesting, that takes us to your story, Christopher, bold homes on

:11:41. > :11:47.green belt, that is the headline. Yes, green belt is a protected area,

:11:48. > :11:56.the ribbon of land around houses and cities that stops the Rubens role

:11:57. > :12:00.that you see in America. It is an area for the Conservatives. They are

:12:01. > :12:08.talking about building on bits of green belt. This is an argument for

:12:09. > :12:14.the younger generation who have not had it as good as the older

:12:15. > :12:23.generation. If they are worth less than ?250,000, outside of London, it

:12:24. > :12:29.is a good opportunity, I think, for people to say, for people to release

:12:30. > :12:36.the value for the younger ones, it is not a bad idea, we will wait and

:12:37. > :12:41.see what happens. But some people will say, not in my

:12:42. > :12:51.backyard. Absolutely, it depends on your perspective. Can you see it as

:12:52. > :13:01.an important role for people to protect rural areas, defended beauty

:13:02. > :13:07.of our nature? It depends whether it is at the end of your road. This

:13:08. > :13:12.idea of the baby boom and people of that generation having it easy and

:13:13. > :13:16.the people living no growing up and not having their own place to live,

:13:17. > :13:20.it is interesting to know whether that older generation is beginning

:13:21. > :13:24.to worry enough about its own grandchildren to want to see action,

:13:25. > :13:28.so is there that intergenerational anxiety and well that allowed policy

:13:29. > :13:32.to change? The government should give out the message that older

:13:33. > :13:39.people, let the kids, give them a chance and let them on the housing

:13:40. > :13:46.ladder. That is as old people still vote! Did I say that? Did I say

:13:47. > :13:51.that? OK, there is a furious row over Tyson Fury. Miranda, you are a

:13:52. > :13:58.big boxing fan, I will start with you. I live for it! This guy has

:13:59. > :14:01.gone from hero to zero", the space of a few days after winning the

:14:02. > :14:11.heavyweight title. It has been a long time since someone from Britain

:14:12. > :14:14.had that. What is the problem? It is that his unexpected victory has lead

:14:15. > :14:17.to unexpected levels of media attention and I heard various people

:14:18. > :14:24.on the radio today to try to defend them and say, poor Tyson Fury, he is

:14:25. > :14:27.not used to this, he is not surrounded by slick PR types to tell

:14:28. > :14:30.him what to say and what not to say, well, he has unfortunately said

:14:31. > :14:39.a few things that he should not have said. Misogynist, slightly

:14:40. > :14:46.sexist... I would say that he had quite eccentric use. Interesting way

:14:47. > :14:49.of putting it! He has his own strong interpretation of religion and he

:14:50. > :14:55.believes that women should have a very restricted role, essentially a

:14:56. > :15:01.domestic low, and he expressed that quite literally. He is very against

:15:02. > :15:06.legalising homosexuality, which would turn the clock back several

:15:07. > :15:11.decades. And he has got himself into a bottle of trouble. The problem is

:15:12. > :15:14.that he is on the short list for BBC Sports Personality of the Year and

:15:15. > :15:25.people want him off of the short list. But who are the people? Well,

:15:26. > :15:30.it is a petition. He is such an antihero, that could draw votes.

:15:31. > :15:36.Well, you could take him off the list and that would stop that from

:15:37. > :15:40.happening. We will go back and look at the

:15:41. > :15:42.headlines again later with Miranda. Now it is time for Sportsday. Thank

:15:43. > :15:43.you for that
