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