:00:00. > 3:59:59reputation enhanced. That's it. Starting on BBC Two now,
:00:00. > :00:22.Jeremy Paxman Welcome to BBC London News. River
:00:23. > :00:26.levels along a 15 mile stretch of the terms have reached their highest
:00:27. > :00:30.level since records began. Thames Valley Police have declared a major
:00:31. > :00:35.incident as many homes have been evacuated. There is a growing
:00:36. > :00:40.feeling they have been left to flood in order to save the more densely
:00:41. > :00:46.populated areas of London in some areas. At the moment it is living up
:00:47. > :00:52.to its name. Where leas and waders are essential footwear for the
:00:53. > :00:58.people of Wraysbury. We keep barricading with sandbags. Homes had
:00:59. > :01:02.barely dried out from the last flooding in January, these makeshift
:01:03. > :01:07.defence is a case of damage limitation. Everything is on
:01:08. > :01:11.bricks, you have to use your imagination. It is incredible what
:01:12. > :01:18.you do with things. Which have things piled up to the ceiling.
:01:19. > :01:21.People say they are looking to the future and worrying about having
:01:22. > :01:27.homes that will be repeatedly flooded and become not insurable.
:01:28. > :01:33.This water has not just come from nowhere, it is fast flowing. Many
:01:34. > :01:38.point the finger at flood defences which they say prioritise certain
:01:39. > :01:42.areas but leave them vulnerable There is a lot of land which would
:01:43. > :01:50.flood that has not been allowed to flood. There is a bit of ill feeling
:01:51. > :01:55.in Wraysbury and having the Army at Datchet where the levels are nothing
:01:56. > :02:01.like as bad as here. But much of Chertsey remains cut off. The worst
:02:02. > :02:05.ever flooding was in 1947 and that record looks like being broken. This
:02:06. > :02:12.property has never flooded, the river is half a mile away, but every
:02:13. > :02:17.hour it creeps closer. We feel like we have been abandoned. We need
:02:18. > :02:22.advise and a plan. The Environment Agency do not have a plan, they do
:02:23. > :02:31.not know what they are going to do. The agency insists they are coping.
:02:32. > :02:34.More rain is a given. The questions will follow, but now the priority is
:02:35. > :02:39.somehow keeping dry. Alice is in Wraysbury which has been
:02:40. > :02:46.particularly badly hit. How is it looking tonight? Many people have
:02:47. > :02:50.had to leave their homes, sandbags are in place, friends and neighbours
:02:51. > :02:55.are helping each other. Some people are waiting around there homes
:02:56. > :03:00.expecting worse to come as the water levels rise. Some people cannot get
:03:01. > :03:05.to work because they cannot get their cars out the dried. There is
:03:06. > :03:10.another problem on train services because flooding has disrupted train
:03:11. > :03:15.services. There were problems getting out of London to the West.
:03:16. > :03:20.First Great Western services were suspended out of Paddington this
:03:21. > :03:25.evening because of flooding in Maidenhead. Services are back up and
:03:26. > :03:29.running, but they are few and far between. Tomorrow if Network Rail
:03:30. > :03:52.cannot fix the problems on the rail there will be serious problems for
:03:53. > :03:55.commuters tomorrow. Talks aimed at preventing a second
:03:56. > :03:57.48 hour Tube strike ended without agreement. It means the strike plans
:03:58. > :04:00.to start at 9pm tomorrow is still due to go ahead. Members of the RMT
:04:01. > :04:02.and TSSA unions are angry over plans to close the underground's ticket
:04:03. > :04:05.offices. They said they were not confident a deal could be reached.
:04:06. > :04:08.We are making little progress. We want to turn around and over the
:04:09. > :04:15.strikes and make progress, but at this stage the company need to move.
:04:16. > :04:19.A BBC London undercover investigation has exposed criminal
:04:20. > :04:23.gangs illegally selling and installing pay`TV services at a
:04:24. > :04:27.fraction of their true crossed. Crime experts warn that hacked
:04:28. > :04:37.satellite and cable TV is becoming the new norm.
:04:38. > :04:43.All these sky movies. These are the fraudsters selling pay`TV at a
:04:44. > :04:48.fracture of the cross. Like this shop at Upton Park, cashing in. And
:04:49. > :04:57.a Venezuelan satellite installer in Greenwich. He is rather proud of his
:04:58. > :05:05.blooming, criminal business. I have got many people. This is how it
:05:06. > :05:09.works. We buy set`top boxes that have been encrypted to hack into
:05:10. > :05:15.legitimate pay`TV services like Skype. A package of the best
:05:16. > :05:18.channels can cost more than ?80 a year. Here you pay a monthly
:05:19. > :05:31.subscription at a fraction of the price. All this is hitting the
:05:32. > :05:38.pay`TV companies and the large numbers employed in creative
:05:39. > :05:43.industries. It is a crime and it is depriving revenue to a business that
:05:44. > :05:47.genuinely should have that. It is a criminal offence. This company
:05:48. > :05:54.ignored us when we asked them why and so did Julio. We invited him
:05:55. > :06:00.round he thinks to install a satellite dish, but he is about to
:06:01. > :06:05.see a video he might recognise. That is you. That is you installing an
:06:06. > :06:10.illegal set`top box. We have been recording you secretly for the last
:06:11. > :06:14.few months. I am from the BBC and I want to know why you have been
:06:15. > :06:23.installing illegal set`top boxes. What is your explanation? Are you
:06:24. > :06:28.aware it is illegal to do what you are doing? We heard reports of
:06:29. > :06:33.scores of similar fraudsters operating not just in London, but
:06:34. > :06:37.across the country. A full weather forecast is coming up
:06:38. > :06:44.in a moment, but first the outlook for the London weather.
:06:45. > :06:53.It is a pretty grim forecast. Some areas could see as much as an extra
:06:54. > :06:57.two inches of rain. We have got severe flood warnings meaning a risk
:06:58. > :07:01.to life for tonight down the Thames. We have got further Met
:07:02. > :07:06.Office warnings for heavy rain throughout the week, including one
:07:07. > :07:11.for tomorrow. It should be mostly dry tonight, but quite a cold night
:07:12. > :07:17.tonight. There is a dry early morning rush hour, but rain will
:07:18. > :07:24.spread in from the west. We can look forward to a drier and brighter
:07:25. > :07:25.afternoon. That is the local weather, now let's get the national
:07:26. > :07:43.weather. Good evening. You have my permission
:07:44. > :07:47.to complain about too many repeats with the British weather at the
:07:48. > :07:53.moment because yet again it looks as though our winter weather is set to
:07:54. > :07:56.continue with a repeat of last week. Sunny spells and scattered showers
:07:57. > :08:03.today and this is the next area of low pressure pushing in from the
:08:04. > :08:08.west. It influences our weather for the rest of the week. More rain to
:08:09. > :08:15.come and gales and severe gales to come. Ice is a possible risk. That
:08:16. > :08:24.means a cumulative total perhaps or 40-70 millimetres and that is an
:08:25. > :08:28.extra two to three inches. It will exacerbate the flooding we have
:08:29. > :08:34.already got across England at the moment. The cloud, wind and rain is
:08:35. > :08:40.already pushing in from the west. There will be a widespread frost.
:08:41. > :08:45.Ice could be a problem first thing in Northern Ireland. Snow in the
:08:46. > :08:49.hills and maybe in the North East of Scotland we could see snow at lower
:08:50. > :08:56.levels. Rain through northern England and Wales and Somerset. Some
:08:57. > :09:02.of that rain could be quite intense coupled with squally, gusty winds on
:09:03. > :09:06.exposed coasts. In the east it starts off relatively dry, but it
:09:07. > :09:12.will not be long before the wind and the rain spreads further east. Up
:09:13. > :09:17.into the North the snow showers continue on the hills, but by the
:09:18. > :09:23.end of the afternoon we could see wet snow even at lower levels. A
:09:24. > :09:29.cold day. There is a potential for some snow showers at lower levels
:09:30. > :09:32.across England and Wales on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. On
:09:33. > :09:39.Wednesday it is this area of low pressure which is the main factor in
:09:40. > :09:45.Wednesday's weather. More wet and windy weather. An early amber
:09:46. > :09:49.warning has already been issued from the South West. Severe gales are
:09:50. > :09:54.likely as we continue to see some very wet weather coming into central
:09:55. > :09:58.and southern areas. The strongest winds follow in behind those
:09:59. > :10:57.showers. In Scotland you are probably wondering what the
