Good evening. Firefighters with Army personnel | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
have been working to try to prevent a water treatment works near Croydon | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
from flooding. An emergency multi`agency meeting took place in | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
south London to assess the risk Anjana Gadgil reports. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
130 people forced from their homes as Dale Road turned into a lake It | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
sits above an underground river which the recent storms have brought | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
to the surface. It is mixed with sewage and this family were told to | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
leave their garden on Friday. It has just got worse. This morning alone, | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
it has risen by at least an inch. Why do you think it is happening? | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Around the area there is a flood, and they are blocking those areas so | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
the water has not been allowed to flow and it has no place to go. It | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
is backing up into our properties. This family and their neighbours | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
bring water displaced by flood relief elsewhere is what is | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
submerging their houses and gardens. They have been pumping this water | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
away from ten days now at a rate of 24,000 litres a minute. It is to | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
stop the flood water contaminating the drinking water. The water is | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
being pumped away in these pipes and is going to miles down the road to a | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
reservoir in the middle of Purley. Water from the treatment works is | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
making makeshift reservoirs like this in a church car park. The | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
council denies any land is being sacrificed for the greater good We | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
have for potential areas, a subway, cricket pitch, school pitch and | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
church car park. These are areas that if needed to be flooded, that | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
would not have a detrimental affect. With more rain likely, the family do | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
not know when they can return to their house. They can only watch as | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
the flood relief operation takes place around them. | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
Police hunting for the killers of a teenage student shot dead in a case | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
of mistaken identity have appealed to the families of those responsible | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
to come forward on the first anniversary of the murder. | :02:31. | :02:31. | |
19`year`old Joseph Burke`Monerville from Islington, was shot as he sat | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
in a car in Clapton with his two brothers. The teenager was studying | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
at the London Metropolitan University and a service has been | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
held for him in Hackney. Windsor Castle, which can usually be | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
relied upon to keep drawing tourists in regardless of the weather, seems | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
to have fallen victim to the floods. Although the castle itself has | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
remained dry, flooding in surrounding areas seems to have | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
created a barrier for many, but not all tourists. Alice Solfield | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
reports. It is business as usual at Windsor | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Castle. The changing of the guard at the Palace where the Queen spends | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
most of her weekends. I have just come to spend some time with the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
royal couple. If you come just a few hundred meters down the road it is a | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
different story. This area is just a footpath, but at the moment it is | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
almost completely underwater. Communities along the Thames are | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
being warned they are at significant risk. With scenes of widespread | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
damage of nearby areas being broadcast around the world, the | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
council is keen to tell people that despite low level flooding Windsor | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
is still open to tourists. There is things to do in Windsor, they can | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
come shopping, the castle is open as usual. If they can get here, then we | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
are ready to welcome them. Not everyone is so optimistic. Yesterday | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
we closed at 3pm. I think we took in ?7. Today, we have not got any yet. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
In comparison to last year, we had 30 or 40 people at any one time Now | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
there is barely anyone about. I have been sitting sings 8am. Boat | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
operators have not been able to get onto the river at all yet, and some | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
groups from abroad have cancelled trips they were due to take in May. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
But Torres who have made it, don't seem to have been put off. I have | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
waited for this trip for many years. And it would not stop us. I was | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
like, wow! You read about it in the news but when you see it in person, | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
it is oh my gosh. But now, it seems the only one enjoying all of the | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
water are the Swans. Let's find out if there's more rain | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
on the way and get the weather forecast with Kate. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
It was a beautiful day across London but the cloud is on its way. I could | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
make the temperature rise as we head towards daybreak tomorrow. Cloud | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
arriving and with it by dawn, maybe light outbreaks of rain. Should be | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
patchy by the time it gets towards us. Nothing too significant. As we | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
head into the afternoon it should brighten up a little, with a | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
temperature of around 10 Celsius as the maximum. As we had through the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
rest of the week, some rain around the Tuesday morning, potentially | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
heavy showers around. A dryer, calmer day as we head into Web | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
state. More rain heading our way for Thursday. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
That's it for now. I'll be back with our late news tonight after the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
BAFTAs on BBC One at around 11: 5pm. Until then, have a very good | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
evening. Until then, have a very good | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
evening. Whilst we are talking about wet and | :06:01. | :06:19. | |
windy weather in the week ahead we will lose the extremes of last week. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
The first glow of the week will approach overnight. Clear skies will | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
cause temperatures to fall | :06:29. | :06:30. |
