:00:18. > :00:22.Good evening. Residents in the flood hit areas of the south east have
:00:23. > :00:24.been warned to prepare for further flooding this weekend. The worst hit
:00:25. > :00:27.areas include Surrey, Essex, Kent and Berkshire, with the Environment
:00:28. > :00:37.Agency issuing warnings over rising water levels. Sarah Harris sent this
:00:38. > :00:42.report from Berkshire. For weeks now contract as have been pumping out
:00:43. > :00:47.flood water and sewage and emptying it several miles away, back into a
:00:48. > :00:52.working system. But Jilly, the Flood warden here, says they are fighting
:00:53. > :01:00.a losing battle. I was wondering if you could let you know what time to
:01:01. > :01:06.expect our portaloos, please. The situation according to villagers
:01:07. > :01:10.lived a few miles downstream from Windsor is getting worse. We've
:01:11. > :01:13.asked people to keep Bath and showers to a minimum, washing and
:01:14. > :01:18.dishwashers to a minimum, so we can conserve what we do have here. It
:01:19. > :01:23.has been extremely difficult. Unfortunately, it's getting to the
:01:24. > :01:28.stage where it's going to be extremely difficult again. With
:01:29. > :01:32.water levels rising and the smell getting worse, villagers are
:01:33. > :01:37.organising food runs for the most vulnerable neighbours and boats for
:01:38. > :01:45.children, so they are not wading through contaminated water. It's
:01:46. > :01:50.quite horrid, actually. Do you think it's a health risk? Yes, I think it
:01:51. > :01:54.will be. This is sewerage, so it will be. In a statement, Thames
:01:55. > :01:58.water said they were trying hard to manage sewer levels and that teams
:01:59. > :02:01.of staff were working round`the`clock. They said they were
:02:02. > :02:10.doing their best in extremely difficult circumstances. Finally the
:02:11. > :02:16.portaloos arrive and the water levels continue to rise. Gareth
:02:17. > :02:25.Furby is by the River Thames tonight. Let's hear from him now.
:02:26. > :02:30.Here we are in Kingston, a developing situation. First, let's
:02:31. > :02:33.look at the latest map from the Environment Agency. It's not a
:02:34. > :02:38.pretty sight. More than 20 Flood warnings now in place around London
:02:39. > :02:42.and here in Kingston, the levels of the River Thames are rising. We ve
:02:43. > :02:49.been watching it. The Environment Agency says it will continue to rise
:02:50. > :02:54.here for the next couple of days. Eventually, possibly exceeding the
:02:55. > :02:59.level seen in the 2003 Flood. The town of Kingston itself is not at
:03:00. > :03:05.risk but beyond here the Environment Agency says some properties close to
:03:06. > :03:09.the river will stop to flood. ` Max start to flood. A man has been found
:03:10. > :03:12.stabbed in a car which was involved in a collision with a bus in
:03:13. > :03:15.Stockwell this evening. There was also a fight on the bus on Clapham
:03:16. > :03:18.Road. Detectives say they're trying to piece together what exactly
:03:19. > :03:21.happened. Next week's two day Tube strike is set to go`ahead after
:03:22. > :03:25.fresh talks between Transport Bosses and Union Officials failed to reach
:03:26. > :03:28.a compromise. But hopes of avoiding another walk`out haven't been
:03:29. > :03:38.completely dashed, as talks will continue on Monday. Here's Karl
:03:39. > :03:42.Mercer. Yesterday they were on strike. Today it was back to work.
:03:43. > :03:47.The job in hand, negotiations to try to put an end to the dispute. Just
:03:48. > :03:51.minutes before the union delegations went into the conciliation service,
:03:52. > :03:54.the Transport for London team had arrived. Today was the ninth day
:03:55. > :04:00.they've spent at ACAS. The previous eight didn't manage to get this
:04:01. > :04:05.week's 48 hour strike called off. He managed just after 5:30pm, after a
:04:06. > :04:09.full day of talks. London Underground encouraged by the
:04:10. > :04:12.discussions. There was good progress made today. We've had very
:04:13. > :04:16.destructive talks. We will consider our position over the weekend with a
:04:17. > :04:21.view to coming back here on Monday to continue discussions. I'm
:04:22. > :04:24.definitely coming back on Monday. The trade unions have made a
:04:25. > :04:30.commitment to come back on Monday. I would like to think we can make even
:04:31. > :04:35.more progress. Will the strike still be going ahead on Tuesday? They are
:04:36. > :04:41.still on but we will try to avert the strikes. The unions, too, have
:04:42. > :04:49.promised to be back on Monday. No agreement as such. My colleague from
:04:50. > :04:53.the TSSA here is well. We've been in there all day talking, the
:04:54. > :04:59.industrial action is still on but we've agreed to come back on Monday
:05:00. > :05:01.to continue the discussion. Neither progress nor not progress, just full
:05:02. > :05:06.Anne Frank discussion around the issues that affect both the unions.
:05:07. > :05:12.The industrial action is still on and we're back on Monday. The aim is
:05:13. > :05:17.to avoid a repeat of the scenes we saw on Wednesday. The mayor
:05:18. > :05:22.revealing how he wanted his team to conduct the talks. I have told TfL
:05:23. > :05:27.negotiators and everybody there to have the door open, not to be macho
:05:28. > :05:32.and not to be confrontational, to engage, to communicate about what we
:05:33. > :05:37.are doing, to sell the message about how this is the best possible
:05:38. > :05:42.package for the RMT and for Londoners. On Monday we will see if
:05:43. > :05:45.the unions agree with that. Both sides will be back round the table,
:05:46. > :05:51.the day before the next planned 48`hour stoppage. The replacement
:05:52. > :05:54.for the big blue cockerel gracing the fourth plinth of Trafalgar
:05:55. > :05:57.Square was unveiled today. Next year, the plinth is to get a
:05:58. > :06:00.skeleton of a horse with a ribbon tied around its leg showing the
:06:01. > :06:04.latest share prices from the Stock Exchange. A year later it will be a
:06:05. > :06:07.giant thumbs up for the next instalment. It'll be made of bronze
:06:08. > :06:09.and stand ten metres high. Now a look at the weather with Sara
:06:10. > :06:21.Thornton. We've got more rain heading in at
:06:22. > :06:27.the moment. We had the second`highest deer of warning from
:06:28. > :06:31.Met Office. We've got a yellow weather warning elsewhere, because
:06:32. > :06:34.we have more rain steaming in from this storm. It will be with us fight
:06:35. > :06:39.the way through until the early hours of tomorrow morning. Ten to 15
:06:40. > :06:43.millimetres of rain by breakfast time. We will continue the day with
:06:44. > :06:48.some showers. A drier interlude for a time. But by the afternoon they
:06:49. > :06:53.are starting to get going. We will see really windy conditions as well.
:06:54. > :06:58.Blustery showers, heavy with some hail or thunder mixed in. Gusts of
:06:59. > :07:03.40 to 50 mph. The showers really get going through the evening. We will
:07:04. > :07:08.keep them overnight into the start of things for Sunday. The Sunday it
:07:09. > :07:12.self, those showers start to ease. A lot of dry weather around but still
:07:13. > :07:19.plenty of heavy rain tonight. That's it. We'll be back with the weekend
:07:20. > :07:22.news at just after 1pm tomorrow There is the latest regarding the
:07:23. > :07:23.flooding situation on our website at the usual address. For now, I hope
:07:24. > :07:42.you have a very good night. Hello again. Nelson's flag ship HMS
:07:43. > :07:45.victory, was launched in 1765 and you can still see it today in
:07:46. > :07:48.Portsmouth Harbour. But through the whole of that history, you will
:07:49. > :07:53.struggle to find a wetter winter than this one across southern
:07:54. > :07:54.England. Scotland has already been in the record
