:01:51. > :01:58.decades. The heavy rain has triggered a landslide in a village

:02:02. > :02:09.Yorkshire, communities are braced for flooding as the River Ouse
:02:09. > :02:13.This is a bit of an understatement. The River Ouse in the centre of

:02:22. > :02:25.don't be deceived by the weather. Just because it stopped raining.
:02:25. > :02:33.The floodwaters are still rising here in North Yorkshire and
:02:33. > :02:39.people's properties are still under In North Yorkshire this afternoon,
:02:39. > :02:43.rivers are still rising. Two of the most swollen converged to become
:02:43. > :02:49.the River Ouse in York. Already the water in the city centre is high
:02:49. > :02:53.and it is a long way from its peak. I have never seen it this worse. If
:02:53. > :02:57.the flood is still coming down, this will be the biggest one York
:02:57. > :03:03.has seen in many, many years. Nobody seems to do anything about
:03:03. > :03:07.it. A few miles away, the main bridge in the town centre has been
:03:07. > :03:11.closed after taking a battering from the river. It left both sides
:03:11. > :03:15.of the town isolated from each other.
:03:15. > :03:19.Further north in Newburn in Newcastle, a land slip ripped
:03:19. > :03:25.through the middle of the village leaving tonnes of rubble and mud
:03:25. > :03:29.blocking the high street. Although nobody was hurt, a car was buried
:03:29. > :03:32.with what was an underground stream running across the middle of the
:03:32. > :03:41.main road. While some wait for the situation to get worse, others are
:03:41. > :03:43.clearing up. Here Here in Teesside dozens of houses were flooded.

:04:03. > :04:09.The deluge of the last two days has raised questions about flood

:04:13. > :04:17.were complaints that not enough has been done to protect the town since
:04:17. > :04:21.the last floods in 2008. But not everyone is seeing the high water
:04:21. > :04:24.as a miserable prospect. In Castleford in West Yorkshire, they

:04:36. > :04:39.still rising. The latest prediction levels are not expected to peak
:04:39. > :04:41.until midnight tonight or the early hours of tomorrow morning. These
:04:42. > :04:45.flats here are quite modern. They were built knowing there was a
:04:45. > :04:49.flood risk and nobody lives on the ground floor, but it is the older
:04:49. > :04:54.houses to the left of the picture here which have people living on
:04:54. > :04:58.that level. To give you an idea of what the conditions are like. These
:04:58. > :05:02.are pictures we have just had in of elsewhere in North Yorkshire, a
:05:02. > :05:07.badly flooded road. People having to be taken to their cars in boats
:05:07. > :05:09.at this location in North Yorkshire. So there are still plenty of water
:05:09. > :05:14.hazards around. Still a lot of anxious hours ahead for many people
:05:14. > :05:21.and the situation is set to get worse before it gets better
:05:21. > :05:26.particularly here in North Well, let's go to James Cook in the
:05:26. > :05:32.village of Newburn which is near Newcastle. We saw the dramatic
:05:32. > :05:35.pictures of the block of flats teetering on the edge? Yes, it is
:05:35. > :05:39.absolutely extraordinary what happened here really and we can
:05:39. > :05:42.have a look behind us. The flats up to the left, you can't see them
:05:42. > :05:46.from here, but we saw the pictures a minute ago and the wash of rocks
:05:46. > :05:51.and rubble and debris just came charging down, down into the road.
:05:51. > :05:55.This is the high street. This would be a bustling high street and you
:05:55. > :05:58.can see beyond the digger that gold car which was buried. I have just
:05:58. > :06:03.been speaking to the man who was in that car at the moment that the
:06:03. > :06:07.road started to give way beneath him. He said, he didn't really have
:06:07. > :06:12.time to be scared, he said, but it was extraordinary. He said he was
:06:12. > :06:15.trying to get out. He said he felt more foolish than anything, but he
:06:16. > :06:20.said that it happened so quickly, he didn't have any chance to react
:06:20. > :06:25.and to get the car out of trouble. But he managed to get out and it is
:06:25. > :06:28.remarkable looking at the scene here from above that nobody was
:06:29. > :06:31.injured in Newburn. What is happening today, of course, the
:06:31. > :06:35.clear-up operation is underway. There are several businesses which
:06:35. > :06:39.have been badly affected and they are trying to mop up, but people
:06:39. > :06:43.here are asking questions about the process of the flats being built up
:06:43. > :06:48.the hill. They are worried about why the water came down. What was
:06:48. > :06:52.happening underneath the flats, of of course, nothing has been proved,
:06:52. > :06:56.but people want answers as to what happened up the hill and why such

:07:42. > :07:46.people who have been charged after two major police investigations all
:07:46. > :07:51.appeared in court together. In fact, I counted 16 barristers waiting
:07:51. > :07:56.there in their wigs to defend all of these people and so this was a
:07:56. > :08:05.pretty big and busy hearing. As you say, there were Rebekah Brooks,
:08:05. > :08:09.Andy call son, the former -- Coulson, news desk editors and

:08:29. > :08:34.of information that we did hear today was there is not going fob a
:08:34. > :08:38.trial -- to be a trial in this legal process until September, 9th
:08:38. > :08:42.next year. There will be a lot of work to do until then which means
:08:42. > :08:48.that these people will have to wait a long time before they face
:08:48. > :08:52.justice. Also until that happens, they are going to be on bail

:23:40. > :23:46.certain themes in my life, it's quite a personal book, these are
:23:46. > :23:50.things I think about a lot. It is personal in the sense that it deals
:23:50. > :23:56.with broad themes that have affected my life in a very real
:23:56. > :24:00.sense. Poverty, for example. Casual Vacancy is a story set in a

:24:29. > :24:33.for children. I've been very open about the themes, we'd talked about
:24:33. > :24:36.what the story is about. I would have thought that parents could

:24:42. > :24:47.might not be the parents making the choice. Well, with children... Well,

:27:39. > :27:44.available to call. Whilst things are improving, it's not necessarily
:27:44. > :27:53.dry out there. Watch how the rain has disintegrated. But it is still
:27:53. > :27:57.swirling around. The heaviest of the showers are across the south.
:27:57. > :28:01.Some lively as thunderstorms for this afternoon. Maybe a bit dry it

:28:06. > :28:09.it will last through into the evening. Across south-west England
:28:09. > :28:13.and South West Wales, pretty intense thunderstorms and some

:28:17. > :28:22.parts of North Wales and certainly much better across the north-west
:28:22. > :28:26.of England. An isolated shower is possible that many dry with a bit
:28:26. > :28:31.of sunshine. Dry in Northern Ireland with some good sunny spells.
:28:31. > :28:34.Across Scotland, most will be dry. A few showers to the north and east
:28:34. > :28:38.with a cool breeze. Maybe a few more showers across Dumfries and
:28:38. > :28:42.Galloway. Into north-east England where the bulk of the flooding
:28:42. > :28:45.currently is, we do expect a few more showers to take us through the
:28:46. > :28:51.afternoon. That persistent rain has gone, that's the good news, and
:28:51. > :28:57.tonight is looking largely dry. Showers particularly along the
:28:57. > :29:00.English coasts and parts of Sussex and Kent. For most, a good deal
:29:00. > :29:05.drier and cooler to start the day with temperatures for many in
:29:05. > :29:09.single figures. Thursday is looking a much-improved day. Miss Dan Fogg
:29:10. > :29:15.around to begin with. There will be some showers around on Thursday,
:29:15. > :29:24.just about possible anywhere. There should be a good deal of sunshine
:29:24. > :29:28.in between the showers. If you were hoping the dry weather was here to
:29:28. > :29:32.stay, I'm afraid it isn't. A weather front is pushing its way
:29:32. > :29:37.southwards and eastwards. But on Friday that weather front has a bit
:29:37. > :29:41.of movement to it. Most places will see rain on Friday. Something dryer
:29:41. > :29:46.for a time being and then some very blustery showers pushing into
:29:46. > :29:52.Scotland and Northern Ireland. A lot of flooding around at the
:29:52. > :29:56.moment. If you are at all concerned you can keep in touch with your
:29:57. > :30:00.local BBC radio station or online. Flooding misery continues as a
