Scotland and turning windy in the North of Scotland were Goo | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Christmas was over before it began for this couple, whose house was | :00:16. | :00:42. | |
flooded on the morning of the 2 th, and they are now talking to the | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
insurers about the damage to their home. You kind of racial self when | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
you walk through the front door it is devastating. `` you kind of brace | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
yourself. Thankfully we are all safe, that is the main thing. | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
Hundreds of homes in Surrey have been evacuated, and with half a | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
dozen flood warnings in place across the south`east, it appears there | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
could be more to come for many. For those returning home, the advice is | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
to be prepared for the task ahead. There will be a lot of mud covering | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
your furniture, and it is hugely traumatic to see that, and also your | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
home will absolutely stink. Your best friend for the next few days | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
are going to be a pair of Marigold gloves, do not touch anything | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
without wearing gloves, because floodwater is very contaminated and | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
you do not know what gems you are finding in your house. Streets | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
closed to the river are still deserted with a brave few coming out | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
to see the flooding. They are hoping the worst is over. In this | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
playground, the water level is still coming just about up to my knees, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
and dozens of families who were evacuated from their homes because | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
of these floods on Christmas Day are now desperate to get back home to | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
begin the clean`up. But with more rain forecast over the weekend, it | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
will take some time for things to return to normal. A mother from | :02:11. | :02:24. | |
Luton has arrived back in the UK after... Margaret Finlay has been | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
running an online search campaign as well as working with rescue teams in | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
the mountains. A London health trust has apologised for what it accepted | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
would be inexcusable failings in the handling of DNA tests at a centre | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
for the victims of sexual assault. Some clients at the Haven | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Whitechapel have not had the sample sent for testing, and others have | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
not had the results. It was built one decade ago to offer | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the victims of sexual assault a confidential clinic, knowing that | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
complaints would be taken seriously up to one year after an attack. Last | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
February, a member of staff reported a problem at the Whitechapel Haven, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
and an independent investigation was commissioned. The findings pointed | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
to a whole system failure. Some of the more serious problems included | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
multiple deficiencies in the treatment of some children and | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
vulnerable adults. There was an oppressive, tense environment in the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
clinic, but staff were too scared to talk to their managers. And dozens | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
of forensics samples that should have been sent for police testing | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
were left in a fridge. But all this information only came to light this | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
week following a freedom of information request. The Haven was | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
closed for a while, and 90 people who were affected have been offered | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
counselling, but some argue it is not enough. They needed to trust the | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
case was being treated seriously, and they need to trust in the whole | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
process, and I think the only thing that will do that is the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
transparency of the process, sharing in the public domain, and there | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
should be total accountability in what has happened. The NHS trust | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
told BBC London today that they were extremely sorry for the inexcusable | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
failings at the Whitechapel Haven. They said they took swift and | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
immediate action when they found out there was a problem and that the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
trust has strived for transparency throughout. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
The main train link between Gatwick Airport and the centre of London has | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
been closed until the New Year. The Gatwick express service from London | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Victoria is shut for planned maintenance work and will reopen on | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the 2nd of January. Now, Peter Cockroft is here with | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
what I am sad to say is one of his last forecasts for BBC London. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Good news and bad news, and first of all the weather for the most part | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
will be dry and bright this weekend. Chilly during the day, and we can | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
expect a little bit of frost and fog at night. There are a few rain | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
showers this evening to the north and south of us, but we should stay | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
dry overnight tonight. Clear skies, winds getting later, it will get | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
quite cold. The numbers in the boxes are the air temperatures, and grass | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
temperatures are going to be a little bit lower, and that is the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
reason we might see a touch of frost around dawn tomorrow. Saturday and | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Sunday bring us quite a bit of winter sunshine, and this is the bad | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
news ` more wet and windy weather heading our way for the start of | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
next week. In fact, the winds will start to freshen and the rain will | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
start to fall after dark on Sunday. So the flooding is not over quite | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
yet. That is it from Peter and from me, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
we will be back in the ten o'clock news, enjoy your evening. Bye`bye. | :05:55. | :06:08. | |
Good evening. What a week it has been, a stormy start, a law through | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
Christmas, then a wild end to the week, had to keep up, isn't it? This | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
was a vicious area of low pressure last night, but today the winds have | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
been strongest across northern areas, where it is still blowing a | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
gale. That will gradually subside as we go through the night, although a | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
windy night across Scotland with frequent, heavy showers. A few | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
showers whistling in elsewhere, but a lot of dry weather, and | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
temperatures | :06:42. | :06:42. |
