set to take part. Another 700 will from me, and a BBC One we can now | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
join the news teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London: The worst | :00:08. | :00:24. | |
flooding for more than a decade It has been difficult and it is | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
going to be difficult again. Residents have been warned there is | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
worst come. Also, talks are held to avert | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
another Tube strike. A drastic shortage of paramedics ` | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
London's Ambulance Service says it'll recruit from abroad to fill | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
their vacancies. Plus: | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Revealed, the artwork given the thumbs up to appear on Trafalgar | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Square's Fourth Plinth. Good evening. Residents in the flood | :00:51. | :01:11. | |
hit areas of the south`east have been warned to prepare for further | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
flooding. The worst hit areas are across Surrey and Berkshire, and | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
with more heavy rain expected, the Environment Agency has issued | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
warnings over rise in water levels. Sarah Harris is in old Windsor, | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
where people have been badly affected. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
There has been more heavy rain tonight, just what people did not | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
want. The road behind me has been closed for several weeks. Some | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
people are chancing it and driving through, but that has been the case | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
on ham Island, where they have been living with floods for the best part | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
of a month. Many of them, their toilets are not working, and I | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
cannot tell you the smell. You would not wish it on your worst enemy | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
For weeks now contractors have been pumping out flood water and sewage, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
and emptying it several miles away back into a working system. But the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
flood warden here says they are fighting a losing battle. I was | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
wondering if you could let me know what time to expect the portaloos. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
The situation according to villagers a few miles downstream is getting | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
worse. We have had to ask people to keep hearths, showers to a minimum, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
washing, dishwashers to an absolute minimum, so we can conserve what we | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
have here. It has been an extremely difficult situation and | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
unfortunately it is getting to the stage where it is going to be | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
extremely difficult again. With water levels rising and the smell | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
getting worse, villagers are organising food runs for their most | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
vulnerable neighbours, and boats for children, so they are not wading | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
through contaminated water. It is quite horrid, actually. Do you think | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
it is a health risk? I think it is going to be. It is sewage, so it | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
will be a health risk. The sense of community is very strong but after | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
many weeks of coping, some are getting to the end of their tether. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
In a statement, Thames Water said they were trying hard to manage | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
sewer levels, and that teams of staff were working round the clock. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
They said they were doing their best in extremely difficult | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
circumstances. Finally, the portaloos arrived, and the water | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
levels continue to rise. It is a similar story in communities across | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
the south`east. Many believe with more heavy rain on the way it is | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
only a matter of time before they are advised to leave. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Let's get the latest update from the Environment Agency tonight. Across | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Greater London there are flood warnings in place. If you follow the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
river from Redding all the way down to Kingston, over 20 flood warnings | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
in place this evening. The worst affected areas, Surrey and | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
Berkshire. Hertfordshire police have asked us to ask you not to call 999 | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
for weather`related problems. They say they have been inundated today. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
In Radlett, the river has burst its banks for the first time `` the | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
first time in 25 years. The station car park has been flooded. Further | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
north, near Hatfield, there is a care home where residents have had | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
to be evacuated. Very distressing for them. The scale of the flooding | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
is nowhere near as bad as it has been in the West Country, as we have | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
seen, but if you are caught up in this and it is going on week after | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
week, and with worse weather coming, especially Monday and Tuesday, when | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
heavy rain is due, people are resigned to the fact that the worst | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
is certainly not over yet. That is the latest situation tonight | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
with rising water levels. But stay with us because there is more to | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
come. Injured during the Apollo Theatre | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
ceiling collapse, we hear from a family of theatre`goers pressing for | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
compensation. Next week's two`day Tube strike is | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
set to go ahead after fresh talks between transport bosses and union | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
officials failed to reach a compromise. Negotiations between | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Transport for London, the RMT and TSSA unions will continue on Monday, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
although it's unclear how close the sides are to an agreement. Here s | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
our political correspondent Karl Mercer. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Yesterday they were on strike. Today it was back to work. The job in | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
hand, negotiations to try to put an end to the Tube dispute. Just | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
minutes before the union delegations went in to the conciliation service, | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the Transport for London team had arrived. Today was the ninth day | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
they've spent at ACAS. The previous eight didn't manage to get this | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
week's 48`hour strike called off. They emerged just after 5.30pm after | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
a full day of talks, London Underground encouraged by the | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
discussions. Yes, there was good progress made today, very | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
constructive talks. We will consider our position over the weekend with a | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
view to coming back on Monday to continue discussions. Are you | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
definitely coming back? Definitely coming back on Monday. The trade | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
unions are prepared to come back on Monday and I would like to think we | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
will make more progress. Does it look like the strikes will go ahead? | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
At the moment, they are still on but we will do everything we can to | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
avert them. The unions, too, have promised to be | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
back on Monday. No agreement as such. Here is my colleague from the | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
TSSA. We have been in there all day, talking. The strike is still on but | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
we have agreed to come back on Monday to continue the discussion. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
Neither progress nor not progress, just full and frank discussion | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
around the issues that affect both unions. As I say, industrial action | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
is still on and we are back on Monday. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
The aim, of course, is to avoid a repeat of the scenes we saw on | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Wednesday and Thursday. The Mayor, in an interview with the Sunday | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Politics programme, today revealed how he wanted his team to conduct | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
the talks. I have told the negotiators and everybody there to | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
have the door open, not to be match, not to be confrontational, to | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
engage, to communicate about what we are doing, to sell the message about | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
how this the best possible package for the RMT and for Londoners. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
On Monday we'll see if the unions agree with that. Both sides will be | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
back round the table, the day before the next planned 48`hour stoppage. | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
Talks are resuming on Monday. What the commuters want to know is | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
whether they need to plan for more strikes. I wish I had the answer. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
The main thing to take from today is that at least both sides are still | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
talking. This is the ninth time they have been at ACAS over recent weeks. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
The talks have broken down before but they will be back for around ten | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
on Monday. Some of the language coming out there, you heard London | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Underground saying they were encouraged by the progress in the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
talks today, so perhaps hints that a compromise may be possible. Also | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
interesting to hear the mayor saying that he had said to the negotiators | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
that he did not want them to be confrontational. Perhaps something | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
of a softening of the language coming from City Hall in the past | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
few days, and perhaps an indication that there might be a compromise | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
that could be reached. The key date will be Monday, because not only do | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
we have the talks at ACAS, but also the RMT executive committee meeting. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
They will be the ones who decide if any deal that is reached at ACAS can | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
go ahead. That is when commuters will find out the answers. Many | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
commuters will be pleased they are talking. And cute. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
For the full interview with Boris Johnson, watch the Sunday Politics | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
London programme on BBC One at 1am. A man who knocked down and killed a | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
police officer has been jailed for eight and a half years. Gary | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Bromwich was sentenced after pleading guilty to causing death by | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
dangerous driving. He drove into traffic officer Andrew Duncan in | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Sutton in September. PC Duncan was married with two children. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Police believe a body found close to Leicester Square is that of a | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
missing Irish teenager who disappeared on a night out. The | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
18`year`old was last seen around midnight on Wednesday. Detectives | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
have not yet formally identified the body and are not treating the death | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
as suspicious. The design of the London Olympic | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
called Ron has revealed he went against his brief to create the | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
award`winning structure. Receiving his CBE from Prince Charles today, | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
he was told the centrepiece should be on the stadium roof and not have | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
any moving parts, but he delivered a piece with over 200 rising petals | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
and placed it in the centre of the arena. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
The London Ambulance Service has been granted permission to recruit | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
paramedics from abroad, in a bid to fill over 300 vacancies. The service | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
is looking to mainly recruit from Australia and New Zealand, as skills | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
and training their closely match those in the UK. | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
It is a 68`year`old male complaining of chest pain. Just one of the .7 | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
million calls the London Ambulance Service receives each year. Once at | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
the scene, they have two assess the needs of the patient. Since the | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
doctor gave you the spray, has the pain changed at all? There is a | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
history of heart problems so they are taking no chances. They are | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
going to transfer the patient to hospital for further checks but it | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
shows the importance of having highly skilled paramedics on the | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
roads, ready to respond to emergencies. But there is a shortage | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
of paramedics across the UK so the recruitment net is being cast wider. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
There are currently about 1800 paramedics working in London. Right | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
now, they also have 250 unfilled vacancies, so the UK border agency | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
has approved job adverts per 10 posts recruited from across the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
world. We have nearly 4000 operational staff working across the | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
capital and a small number of vacancies, like any organisation. We | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
are recruiting actively to those vacancies, here in the UK, people | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
leaving the military, and a small number from overseas. Recruiting | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
from abroad has been done elsewhere in the NHS and the service is keen | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
to stress that they are coping with demand. The launch of the 111 | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
non`emergency number, another tactic to help reduce pressure on the front | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
line. In east London, a 50`year`old man is in cardiac arrest. It used to | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
be more vocational, but modern paramedics have to be university | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
educated and can use more advanced drugs and procedures than ever | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
before. The first respondent identified that resuscitation would | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
have been futile and the patient was deceased. But soon, there are | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
injuries at a car crash in Hammersmith. Paramedics in the | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
capital never really pause for breath, and with demand growing | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
every year, more are urgently needed. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
A mother of two who used broken glass to attack the daughter of BBC | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
ground Force presenter Tommy Walsh has been jailed for five years. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Leanne Broomfield slashed Natalie Walsh across her neck in the West | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
End last year. Many of you will have heard of Tommy | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Walsh, the celebrity builder, from the BBC series, but it was his | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
daughter Natalie who made headlines last year in February after a night | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
out. As she was leaving a nightclub near Leicester Square she was | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
slashed across the neck with a piece of broken glass by 29`year`old | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Leanne Broomfield from Colchester. We cannot show you the stills of the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
injuries at the time, but we have a photograph of her injuries now, | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
following stitches and cosmetic surgery. Southwark Crown Court | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
pervert shortly after the attack, Leanne Broomfield textured her | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
friends saying, me and my sister did a number on her, she was in a heap, | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
and they did not catch me. They did, and she was sentenced to six years | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
in jail. That was reduced to five years to take into account her two | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
children, 85`year`old daughter and eight two `year`old son. `` a | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
five`year`old daughter. Tommy Walsh told reporters after the | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
verdict that it was really tough on the family but they got through it | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
because they are close`knit. But he did add that there are no winners. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
Still to come before the end of the programme: The table`topping | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
football manager, who transferred from the City's trading floor to | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
Brentford's training ground. And the thumbs up for the next art | :14:38. | :14:49. | |
commissions to appear on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth. | :14:50. | :15:05. | |
A family of six injured when the Apollo Theatre roof collapsed before | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Christmas has announced a claim for conversation. The Edwards family | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
were among more than 70 people injured while watching the curious | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
incident of the dog in a night`time. It was supposed to be his early | :15:18. | :15:32. | |
Christmas present from the family. But Chris Edwards countenance of | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
lucky none of them was killed when the Apollo ceiling came crashing | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
down. His son suffered three fractured vertebrae and a broken | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
shoulder blade. In all, 74 were injured. London Fire Brigade said it | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
was a miracle more were not hurt. More than 700 people had packed the | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Apollo on what was the Thursday before Christmas. Now, Chris Edwards | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
is suing the theatre's owners. I felt we were let down one way or | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
another. We felt we were in a safe place, or should have been. It is | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
not about personal gain. That is not the objective. The objective in my | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
mind is to be to keep this in the public domain. The Apollo has been | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
closed ever since the roof came crashing down. In that time, the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
theatre's insurers and say they have been compensating members of the | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
audience. But they weren't saying how many or how much they have paid | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
out. I can remember going back into the auditorium and punching the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
plaster because I was so angry. Chris Edwards spent 30 years | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
designing sets for film and TV and claims the plaster was not up to | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
scratch. You can see here this black line shows there is cracking there. | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
Westminster Council confirmed the Apollo's safety certificates were in | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
order and up`to`date. This has led to questions over just how rigorous | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
the inspections of older buildings really are. If the building was | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
properly surveyed and had all the development Stefan Gates, something | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
is wrong. That ceiling was in its original condition and it failed. It | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
fell on us. Investigators have not ruled out thunder and lightning on | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
the night as the cause. But it could still be found that rain played a | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
leading role in bringing down a part of this historic West End venue | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
As you may well know, the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
Sochi has being taking place. With more news on that and the rest of | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the weekend sport, it's over to Chris. | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Yes, the Winter Olympics in Sochi is now in full swing and Team GB has | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
high hopes of equalling its record medal haul of three, achieved way | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
back in 1936. A place on the podium is probably | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
beyond Surrey skier Shemmy Alcott, but simply being at the Games is an | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
achievement for her. She only returned to racing last month after | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
breaking her leg for the third time in her career. After today's | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
practise run she said she knew she'd skied well because she could feel | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
the 15`inch nail which holds her right leg together. "The better I | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
ski the more I feel the metal" she said. She'll be competing in the | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
downhill and the Super G. In action on Sunday is Bromley's | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Aimee Fuller. She's made it into the semi finals of the women's snowboard | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
slopestyle. Dom Harington of Stoke Newington goes in the men's | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
snowboard half`pipe. His qualifying round is on Tuesday. Maidenhead`born | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Penny Coomes' first event in figure skating is tomorrow in the ice dance | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
short dance. And Dominic Parsons has to wait until next Friday before | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
qualifying begins in the skeleton. Good luck to all. There has been | :18:53. | :19:03. | |
disappointment for Craig Pickering, who has had to withdraw because of a | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
slipped disc. Among his team`mates is Dean on the right. British | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
bobsleigh is it to name his replacement. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Now, in football, it's not only in the Premier League where a London | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
team tops the table. Right now, Brentford are the Arsenal of League | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
One. There was concern among many fans when manager Uwe Rosler quit in | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
December but, as Emma Jones reports, his replacement has kept them on | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
track for promotion. It is a tracksuit rather than a | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
tailored one for Mark Warburton these days. His current workplace is | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
a very different to the one he left behind. When he retired as a | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
non`league footballer, he took up a full`time career as City trader But | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
he always wanted to return to the sport he loved, even if it meant a | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
massive pay cut. It is a big step to take. It is not a big step if it is | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
a comparable wage packet. As in 90% wage cut, you have to explain the | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
logic to your wife. There was no logic. When Brentford's former | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
manager's good work meant a move to Wigan, Mark was the replacement He | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
hadn't lost a match yet as manager and has won every game played at | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
Griffin Park. So far, so good. Ten games and the boys have been | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
tremendous. At the training ground, the team are preparing to play host | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
to Crawley this weekend, no doubt hoping to maintain the good form | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
that has taken them to the top of league one. The players can't see | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
much of a difference between their manager's New World and his old one. | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
I can see similarities. It is a competitive business. People work as | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
a team and they work for goals. They try to reach the top. That is what | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
we are trying to do. In the City, Mark Allen to take a collegiate | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
risks for the British success. It seems that so far his latest gamble | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
is paying off. This is 1993 in Crystal Palace. Many | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
years, the world's greatest athletes have graced the track there. But the | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
stadium's future is in doubt after UK athletics confirm that for the | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
second summer in a row, the event will be held elsewhere, this time in | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Glasgow. Last year it took place at the Olympic Stadium. While UK | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
athletics has it hasn't yet decided on a venue, few now expect it to | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
return to the palace. It has a lot of things going for it, but it can't | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
be the venue for major competition. I am sad about it. I have got some | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
great memories from there. It will always be in my heart but it is | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
logical that it should go. Crystal Palace can still be used as a | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
training venue. I hope the Prime Minister or the mayor can put some | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
money into it to find it refurbished. | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
Dave Bedford and Dalton Grant there on the challenges facing Crystal | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
Palace athletics track. A big blue cockerel standing in the | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
shadow of Nelson's column ruffled a few feathers when it took up | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
residence on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square last summer. But | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
it's amazing how Londoners got used to the unusual sight so quickly | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
Well, the fourth plinth will soon be challenging us once again, and Wendy | :23:03. | :23:12. | |
Hurrell can unveil what's next. Models for the new fourth plinth | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
sculpture are unveiled to the snap of cameras. David Shrigley's really | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
good is a comic thumbs up. The real one will tower ten metres over | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
Trafalgar Square. I am trying to say something that is both perhaps | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
satirical or sarcastic but also quite sincere the same time. As an | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
artist, you have to believe that your work will make a difference. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
You have to believe it is a positive intervention into the world. His | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
gesture goes on to the plinth in 2016. First comes another bronze, | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
the skeletal horse with a live feed of the London stock exchange tied as | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
a ribbon to its leg. This is a German artist's oblique tribute to | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
two 18th`century Englishman, and a good company for the other equines | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
on the square. For more than 10 and years `` 150 years, this was the | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
problem plinth. Since 1999, it has been a showcase for some | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
extraordinary works. They are works which are striking, that can survive | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
repeated looking at over the course of the 18 months they are in the | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
square. They give something back to London. The big sum is going to be | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
ten metres tall. Wow. A good way to cheer everybody up! The horse is | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
good but I'm not sure about the thumb. It looks like it is from the | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
Natural History Museum. I think the summit is better. `` the sum. The | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
horse will add to the well photographed heard next year. | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
Now the weather with Sara. Yet more rain is heading towards us. We're | :25:23. | :25:37. | |
worried. We have a Met Office warning for the rain out towards the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
south and west of London. A yellow warning for the rest of us. It is no | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
wonder. Here is what the last seven days have brought. You can cease | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
world of crowd `` cloud across the UK. We have had plenty of heavy | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
rain, and don't we know all about it. Today we had this drier slot of | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
weather. This curl of cloud is an excellent `` storm system heading to | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
the UK. For those concerns about the flooding, in the south`east we have | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
got 70 flood warnings. We are concerned about the River Thames, | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
which is rising. By the middle of next week, it could be as high as | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
January, 2003. Through the next 24`hour was, more rain to come, | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
starting in the next couple of hours. `` 24 hours. Another 10` 5 | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
millimetres by tomorrow morning It is not going to the detriment 's | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
amount to night, but it exacerbates the rain we have all the gut. `` a | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
tremendous amount. The showers will be blustery. They | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
are going to be pushed by some gusty winds. 50 miles an hour they could | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
be. They could be some hail mixed in. We keep the showers through | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
tomorrow night and into the start of things on Sunday, which is why the | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
yellow Met Office warning is in place until Sunday morning. | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
Gradually, as we go through Sunday, we see this show was becoming | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
further between. They started pushed to the North. `` the showers. | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
Tonight we have got or rain and some heavy showers for tomorrow | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
afternoon. `` more rain. That is it for now. | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
I will be back during the ten o'clock News. Join me then if you | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
can. For now, for everybody, good evening. | :27:41. | :27:42. |
