:00:11. > :00:16.Two people have been killed after the worst storm to hit southern
:00:17. > :00:21.Britain for years. A 17-year-old girl died after a tree crashed on
:00:22. > :00:27.the caravan where she was sleeping. A 50-year-old man was killed when
:00:28. > :00:32.his car was hit by a fallen tree in Watford. Any loss of life is
:00:33. > :00:37.regrettable and we had to make sure the emergency service can act as
:00:38. > :00:42.fast as they can. Commuters have been left stranded as many rail
:00:43. > :00:46.services and flights have been cancelled or delayed. Over a quarter
:00:47. > :00:53.of a million homes are without electricity as power lines have been
:00:54. > :00:56.brought down. Also this lunchtime: two former News International
:00:57. > :02:24.executives, Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, go on trial over phone
:02:25. > :02:29.hacking. There are dozens of flood warnings in operation. We will have
:02:30. > :02:35.the very latest on the storm from our correspondence across the
:02:36. > :02:41.country. Our first report is from Jeremy Cooke. The storm was brief,
:02:42. > :02:45.but powerful and intense. Hundreds of trees brought down across
:02:46. > :02:51.southern England with at times tragic consequences. This is the
:02:52. > :02:55.theme in Kent. A 17-year-old young woman had been asleep in this
:02:56. > :02:59.caravan when disaster struck. Desperate efforts to cut away the
:03:00. > :03:05.fallen branches could not save her life. In Watford a man in his 50s
:03:06. > :03:12.was killed when a tree fell on his car in a random act of nature. In
:03:13. > :03:18.Hounslow on the outskirts of London three homes were destroyed, damaged
:03:19. > :03:24.first by a falling tree and then by the resulting gas explosion. There
:03:25. > :03:32.were several casualties here. We have got crews on site working in
:03:33. > :03:36.special rescue teams and carrying out a surge internally of the
:03:37. > :03:44.building to confirm if anyone else is in there. We have two people
:03:45. > :03:48.unaccounted for. 4000 it was more a case of inconvenience, trees
:03:49. > :03:53.blocking roads and rail lines in the south and east of England. Emergency
:03:54. > :03:58.crews were on stand-by, trying to keep main route is open to keep the
:03:59. > :04:03.country on the move. But there are still 12 active flood warnings in
:04:04. > :04:09.place, 130 flood alerts, mainly in the south and West. With more than
:04:10. > :04:15.200,000 homes without power, for many all of this will live long in
:04:16. > :04:20.the memory. Some of the strongest winds we have experienced since the
:04:21. > :04:25.great storm of 1987. Enough to bring down a crane in the centre of London
:04:26. > :04:32.not far from Downing Street. Has the response been an overreaction?
:04:33. > :04:35.Everyone has two act on the basis of the evidence and information they
:04:36. > :04:40.are given and everyone has been working closely together to deal
:04:41. > :04:44.with the storm. Afterwards we will be able to look back to see if the
:04:45. > :04:50.right decisions were made. Right now we have to get things back to
:04:51. > :04:54.normal. Professionals tracking the weather system through southern
:04:55. > :04:57.England and into London and the South East call it a truly
:04:58. > :05:06.remarkable weather event. We have seen gusts of 80 and 90 miles an
:05:07. > :05:12.hour and heavy rain. It is not quite as bad as 1987, but not far off. It
:05:13. > :05:17.is the south coast that has taken the brunt of the wind, blowing the
:05:18. > :05:22.hurricane force from Wales to Essex. At the historic pier in Clacton, the
:05:23. > :05:26.helter-skelter has been brought crashing to the ground. And
:05:27. > :05:32.coastguards in Sussex have been forced to call off the search for a
:05:33. > :05:38.teenage boy, swept out to sea yesterday.
:05:39. > :05:42.As we have been hearing, the storm has brought down power lines cutting
:05:43. > :05:47.electricity to thousands of homes across the south of the country. All
:05:48. > :05:53.morning teams have been trying to restore the power as quickly as
:05:54. > :05:57.possible. Duncan Kennedy has been assessing the situation in
:05:58. > :06:02.Berkshire. In many places it was the water, not the electricity, that was
:06:03. > :06:08.flowing. As the storm swept its weight used more and more homes lost
:06:09. > :06:14.their power. Nothing is working here, the fridge, no. In Berkshire
:06:15. > :06:20.this house was one of hundreds cut off. I woke up at six and suddenly
:06:21. > :06:25.everything was black and there was nothing. I put the radio on the
:06:26. > :06:31.battery to check what was happening and I knew we had no electricity.
:06:32. > :06:37.Across in Wiltshire more homes lost power. The storm has been rattling
:06:38. > :06:41.through here this morning and it brought down this particular tree
:06:42. > :06:44.and some of the power lines and telephone lines. The council say
:06:45. > :06:50.they will be along to open this road, one of the transport problems
:06:51. > :06:54.people are facing as the storm passes through. As workmen came to
:06:55. > :07:00.dismantle the tree, neighbours said they worked out their own way to
:07:01. > :07:05.light the street. We stood here with torches to wave around so that
:07:06. > :07:17.people could see the tree was there. The storm has cut electricity across
:07:18. > :07:23.its destructive path. 200 extra engineers are working to bring
:07:24. > :07:27.supplies back. It is very much a shifting number as the storm has
:07:28. > :07:32.moved and progress and the extent of the damage has been assessed and
:07:33. > :07:37.engineers have been in place to try and fix it. We came into the kitchen
:07:38. > :07:43.and opened the door and we have a tree in the garden. I was quite
:07:44. > :07:50.surprised. It was very close. It was a jolt of a non-electrical kind that
:07:51. > :07:59.greeted him in Warminster. We opened up the kitchen door and the tree was
:08:00. > :08:02.coming into the kitchen. In the end the biggest disruption was to his
:08:03. > :08:07.model train set, derailed, just like the lives of so many people last
:08:08. > :08:12.night. Staying with the transport in real
:08:13. > :08:18.terms, whether it is on the roads, by rail or air, the storm has caused
:08:19. > :08:23.widespread disruption. Many rail companies did not run services until
:08:24. > :08:26.after it had passed. Airports cancelled flights, many roads have
:08:27. > :08:32.been closed because of the fallen trees. Our correspondent reports
:08:33. > :08:37.from Redding. The train companies had warned us
:08:38. > :08:42.that services would be disrupted and a quick look at the boards at any
:08:43. > :08:46.train station showed us just how much. At Redding, the hub of the
:08:47. > :08:51.Thames Valley rail network, the frustration was starting to show. I
:08:52. > :08:58.am trying to get to Winchester and it is an absolute nightmare. I am
:08:59. > :09:03.heading to Southampton and I am stuck here, so I will not get to my
:09:04. > :09:10.destination on time. It is annoying because I need to get a train to
:09:11. > :09:15.work. South West Trains was one of several companies that could not run
:09:16. > :09:19.services until after nine o'clock. Most train operators across southern
:09:20. > :09:24.England and Wales were not running services before nine o'clock and
:09:25. > :09:29.some now have amended timetables in place. More than 200 trees have been
:09:30. > :09:34.cleared from railways across the South and overhead lines have been
:09:35. > :09:39.damaged. It was not until the rush hour was over that network rail
:09:40. > :09:44.could take stock of the morning. We had a plan to progressively over the
:09:45. > :09:48.network at nine o'clock. There were significant damage overnight to the
:09:49. > :09:52.railway infrastructure. We started to progressively open in
:09:53. > :09:56.mid-morning. We were a bit later than we thought, but we got more
:09:57. > :10:04.damage than we could predict happening. Other forms of transport
:10:05. > :10:10.fared little better. At Heathrow 130 flights were cancelled. Huge waves
:10:11. > :10:14.prompted the major port of Dover to close, cutting off services to
:10:15. > :10:19.France. A double-decker bus was lifted off its wheels in Suffolk and
:10:20. > :10:24.the driver was taken to hospital. This 30 foot ash tree blocked the
:10:25. > :10:28.main road in Redding at seven o'clock. Luckily the council's rapid
:10:29. > :10:34.response team of tree surgeons cleared it in minutes. We plan for
:10:35. > :10:38.it in advance and put extra maintenance crews on the road and
:10:39. > :10:44.put a lock of information out to drivers. We closed some bridges and
:10:45. > :10:49.the crossings over the Severn in advance of the strong winds to make
:10:50. > :10:53.sure we could manage the network effectively. This lunchtime at least
:10:54. > :10:59.rail services are starting to get back to normal, but it has been a
:11:00. > :11:02.long day for staff and commuters. The station manager told me that
:11:03. > :11:10.this morning at eight o'clock it took one train three and a half
:11:11. > :11:15.hours to travel six stops, 15 miles, up the line. It appears the working
:11:16. > :11:20.day is starting a few hours late. We will have more on the storm
:11:21. > :11:24.damage later in the programme. You can keep up to date with what is
:11:25. > :11:36.going on in your area with BBC local radio and read -- regional
:11:37. > :11:40.television. The trial of Rebekah Brooks and Andy
:11:41. > :11:46.Coulson begins at the Old Bailey today. The former News International
:11:47. > :11:49.chief executive and David Cameron's old director of communications are
:11:50. > :11:54.among eight people standing trial in a case which could last up to six
:11:55. > :12:00.months. They all face charges arising from the phone hacking
:12:01. > :12:05.investigation. It was two years ago that the phone
:12:06. > :12:09.hacking affair exploded and it led to the closure of News of the World
:12:10. > :12:14.and the setting up of the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics. It led to
:12:15. > :12:19.scores of arrests and today we are seeing the start of the first trial.
:12:20. > :12:23.Once she was the most powerful woman in British newspapers with links to
:12:24. > :12:28.successive prime ministers. Today Rebekah Brooks arrived at the
:12:29. > :12:33.country's most famous criminal Court to stand trial. Facing charges with
:12:34. > :12:41.her was her husband Charlie Brooks. Also on trial, Andy Coulson. He was
:12:42. > :12:46.Rebekah Brooks' successor to be editor of News of the World. He
:12:47. > :12:50.later moved into ten Downing St as director of communications. The Old
:12:51. > :12:55.Bailey is the scene of so many legal dramas and if the setting of a case
:12:56. > :12:59.which is set to make global headlines. This is the media
:13:00. > :13:05.reporting on their own. Rebekah Brooks faces charges of conspiracy
:13:06. > :13:09.to intercept mobile phone messages, conspiracy to commit misconduct in
:13:10. > :13:14.public office. The allegation is unlawful payments to public
:13:15. > :13:19.officials. And conspiring to pervert the course of justice, this is
:13:20. > :13:24.allegedly about removing and concealing evidence. Andy Coulson is
:13:25. > :13:27.accused of conspiring to intercept mobile phone messages and conspiracy
:13:28. > :13:33.to commit misconduct in public office. Also in the dock is the News
:13:34. > :13:38.of the World's ex-managing editor. He and a former journalist Art
:13:39. > :13:48.accused of conspiring to have telephones. The ex-Royal editor is
:13:49. > :13:55.conspiring is accused of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
:13:56. > :14:02.All the defendants deny all the charges against them. The process of
:14:03. > :14:06.selecting the jury is currently underway and there is a very large
:14:07. > :14:10.pool of potential juror 's and the judge has told them to be selected
:14:11. > :14:15.they have to be prepared to sit until next Easter. That gives you an
:14:16. > :14:20.indication of how long all of this is going to run. The 12 who have
:14:21. > :14:25.been selected will be sworn in tomorrow and the prosecution will
:14:26. > :14:30.open its case. The main story this lunchtime: The
:14:31. > :14:35.most powerful storm in decades has swept across parts of the UK. Two
:14:36. > :14:40.people have been killed and there has been massive disruption to power
:14:41. > :14:45.and transport. Still to come, a nation of litter bugs, a special
:14:46. > :14:49.report from Joan Bakewell on the cost of our throwaway society. On
:14:50. > :14:55.BBC London: The government appealed against a High Court ruling on plans
:14:56. > :14:59.to cut services at Lewisham Hospital. And we look inside
:15:00. > :15:08.Charterhouse as it opens its doors to the public. The lack of care and
:15:09. > :15:11.compassion in our hospitals and care homes has rarely been out of the
:15:12. > :15:14.news recently. And part of that story has been the helplessness of
:15:15. > :15:18.people who felt no-one was listening to them when they tried to say
:15:19. > :15:21.things were going wrong. Well today, an independent review has called for
:15:22. > :15:25.a revolution in the way the NHS handles complaints in England. It's
:15:26. > :15:28.been hearing evidence from people who either felt their complaints
:15:29. > :15:30.weren't handled properly, or who just never bothered because they
:15:31. > :15:33.were afraid about the impact it could have on their future care.
:15:34. > :15:42.Here's our health correspondent, Branwen Jeffreys. Carter When
:15:43. > :15:46.Pauline's dad died in hospital, all she wanted was answers. Why hadn't
:15:47. > :15:51.he had his medication. Who thought it was acceptable to leave him in
:15:52. > :15:55.soiled sheets. She wrote letters and went to a meeting where no one could
:15:56. > :16:00.help. So she hired lawyers. You start a complaint and at every
:16:01. > :16:05.opportunity they try to stop you. They try to stop it. They never
:16:06. > :16:11.replied to a letter. Unless we rang again to prompt them. This review
:16:12. > :16:15.says too many families have similar experiences. It calls for hospitals
:16:16. > :16:23.in England to publish a report each year on their complaints. And
:16:24. > :16:29.frontline staff to listen. The report draws on testimony from more
:16:30. > :16:35.than 2,000 families. As somebody whose wife had been very sick was
:16:36. > :16:42.visiting her in hospital and she was very sick. He went up to a nurse and
:16:43. > :16:49.asked for help. And one nurse said, I'm a graduate, I don't do sick. The
:16:50. > :16:54.review is calling for a change in the way the NHS listens to concerns
:16:55. > :16:59.and deals with them and if that change doesn't happen, it says they
:17:00. > :17:06.will be back in a year's time asking for more radical steps to be taken.
:17:07. > :17:13.Patients chashts say change is -- chashts say change is -- charities
:17:14. > :17:19.say change is long over due. NHS staff do not see complaints as a way
:17:20. > :17:23.of learning. Until such time as they see complaints as help them to do
:17:24. > :17:28.their job better, then if they're not going to take this approach, the
:17:29. > :17:35.culture in the NHS will never change. And that is what families
:17:36. > :17:41.like this want most - to know the same mistakes won't be made in
:17:42. > :17:44.someone else's care. Staff at one of South Africa's most dangerous
:17:45. > :17:49.prisons, run by the British firm G4S, have been accused of shocking
:17:50. > :17:52.abuses and of losing control. The South African government has
:17:53. > :17:54.temporarily taken over the running of Mangaung prison after inmates
:17:55. > :18:00.claimed they had been subjected to electric shocks and forced
:18:01. > :18:03.injections. G4S says it has seen no evidence of abuse by its employees.
:18:04. > :18:06.Let's speak to our Africa Correspondent Andrew Harding. Tell
:18:07. > :18:11.us more about the claims firstly Andrew. What are G4S saying in
:18:12. > :18:15.response? We have been speaking to current and former prisoners and
:18:16. > :18:18.staff and we have seen leaked footage from inside the jail. What
:18:19. > :18:22.we are hearing are allegations that electric shocks were used, not to
:18:23. > :18:29.break up fights in the prison, but to punish prisoners. Also
:18:30. > :18:33.allegations that injections of antipsychotic medicine were used on
:18:34. > :18:37.prisoners against their will. The South African authorities describe
:18:38. > :18:43.the situation as shocking and out of control. What response then
:18:44. > :18:48.particularly from G4S? They have denied any wrong doing and has no
:18:49. > :18:54.evidence, it says, of any abuses. It has questioned the credibility of
:18:55. > :18:57.the witnesses. Saying they after all some of the most dangerous criminals
:18:58. > :19:03.and a group of former guards who were sacked recently, because of an
:19:04. > :19:08.unsanctioned illegal strike. They say that they will investigate any
:19:09. > :19:12.abuses that come to light. But they co-not -- do not believe that these
:19:13. > :19:18.reports on the face of it are credible. Thank you. Changes to the
:19:19. > :19:23.welfare system are still on track, despite a slower than planned take
:19:24. > :19:27.up of its new Universal Credit. That's according to the minister in
:19:28. > :19:30.charge of the changes, Lord Freud. The reform replaces six old
:19:31. > :19:33.benefits, but the changes have suffered from IT problems. Today,
:19:34. > :19:34.they're introduced in one of London's boroughs, as our local
:19:35. > :19:43.government correspondent, Mike Sergeant, reports. From today some
:19:44. > :19:50.job seekers in Hammersmith will be able to log in and claim universal
:19:51. > :19:56.credit. It is the Government's most ambitious change to to welfare
:19:57. > :20:00.system. The idea is to combine six benefits into one monthly payment.
:20:01. > :20:05.So that claimants are always better off as they take on more work. The
:20:06. > :20:09.project has been criticised as chaotic and behind schedule. But one
:20:10. > :20:15.of the ministers responsible said it is still on track. This is a massive
:20:16. > :20:23.cultural transformation. We are testing and trialing it in every
:20:24. > :20:27.way. What really matters here is how the operational system works and how
:20:28. > :20:33.people respond to it. So it is important that we do this carefully
:20:34. > :20:38.and safely. Until now, there have only been a handful of pilots in the
:20:39. > :20:43.north-west. Eventually eight million households will be claiming the
:20:44. > :20:49.credit. But difficulties with IT and management have held back progress.
:20:50. > :20:54.The plan was for the credit to be rolling out by now. But this benefit
:20:55. > :21:00.is still operationing on a tiny scale, with just one job centre at a
:21:01. > :21:04.time joining the scheme. Hammersmith and Fulham council said it is
:21:05. > :21:08.committed to making the credit work and will offer those claiming it
:21:09. > :21:12.Spencive help -- intensive help getting a job. But Labour say it is
:21:13. > :21:18.one of a string of changes that is not going to plan. I'm in favour of
:21:19. > :21:21.reform, but I want them to get a grip of the project. They have lost
:21:22. > :21:26.millions and there is a danger that each time they put their fingers in
:21:27. > :21:31.their ears and pretending there are no problems, that it gets worse. But
:21:32. > :21:40.ministers say universal credit will be delivered on budget and by the
:21:41. > :21:42.target date of 2017. A group of MEPs will meet American officials later
:21:43. > :21:46.today to discuss allegations of spying by America's National
:21:47. > :21:51.Security Agency. France, Germany, Italy and now Spain have all accused
:21:52. > :21:55.the US of spying on its citizens. Let's speak to our correspondent in
:21:56. > :22:03.Brussels, Matthew Price. What in all reality are they likely to achieve?
:22:04. > :22:08.Well the British member of the European Parliament, the Labour MEP
:22:09. > :22:12.for London, who is leading the Parliamentary inquiry, into all
:22:13. > :22:16.these allegations, really believes they're on the verge of a sea-change
:22:17. > :22:21.in the way that international spying is carried out. What he is saying
:22:22. > :22:28.and others are saying is that this goes beyond the spying that people
:22:29. > :22:33.know happens between countries, even between allies. It is talking of
:22:34. > :22:38.mass surveillance of people in the EU and the European Parliament is
:22:39. > :22:43.saying that breaks the fundamental right that Europe's citizens have to
:22:44. > :22:46.privacy. So they are going over to the United States and with that
:22:47. > :22:49.message and saying, look, the millions of calls that were listened
:22:50. > :22:55.to or monitored in Spain, Germany and France, the monitoring of Angela
:22:56. > :23:00.Merkel's telephone, also British intelligence alleged involved in
:23:01. > :23:05.monitoring of the Belgian Telecoms system. All these things take spying
:23:06. > :23:09.to a new level and they ought to be reined in. You're right to raise the
:23:10. > :23:15.question how much impact can they have? Well probably not much. But by
:23:16. > :23:18.keeping it in the public eye they believe they will push through some
:23:19. > :23:23.sort of change in policy and probably with the help from a German
:23:24. > :23:28.delegation heading there this week, senior German officials meeting with
:23:29. > :23:31.seen American officials behind closed doors, where they are going
:23:32. > :23:34.to be pushing this line from Angela Merkel that a new bond of trust
:23:35. > :23:39.needs to be formed, changes to the way in which the surveillance
:23:40. > :23:44.systems within America and elsewhere work and operate. And so I think
:23:45. > :23:48.there is a sense that nothing will change immediately, but perhaps they
:23:49. > :23:58.are starting to change the perceptions of what acceptable and
:23:59. > :24:01.what is not. Thank you. Britain's population has risen by 21% in the
:24:02. > :24:04.last half a century, but the amount of litter we drop has gone up by a
:24:05. > :24:07.staggering 500%. Hardly surprising then, that clearing up our rubbish
:24:08. > :24:10.costs more than ?1billion a year. Now the veteran journalist and
:24:11. > :24:13.broadcaster, Joan Bakewell, has toured the country with the BBC's
:24:14. > :24:20.Panorama to investigate just how big a problem litter is and what's being
:24:21. > :24:24.done to tackle it. Is Britain disappearing under a layer of
:24:25. > :24:30.litter? 30 million tonnes are collected each year. What causes it?
:24:31. > :24:37.Who is doing it. The general public. Just the public. And they moan that
:24:38. > :24:42.their rates go up to pay for it all and they're doing it. I don't like
:24:43. > :24:48.to see people's dirty rubbish bags and just dumping it in the street.
:24:49. > :24:53.Since the 90s, we have had some of the toughest litter laws in Europe.
:24:54. > :24:58.But while some councils issue hundreds of fines, others hardly
:24:59. > :25:03.any. I It costs around a billion pounds a year to pick up litter.
:25:04. > :25:11.That cost might buy us more than 30,000 nurses, or more than 30,000
:25:12. > :25:16.care assistants, or 4,000 libraries. Isn't that more useful. This has
:25:17. > :25:21.been doesn't only grill politicians, as a patron of clean up Britain, he
:25:22. > :25:26.has a lot to say about litter. I think this is not really about
:25:27. > :25:30.living in a filthy environment, it is about the way we think about
:25:31. > :25:35.ourselves and other members of society. Because if I throw away a
:25:36. > :25:39.bit of rubbish, I don't want it around me any more and I fail to
:25:40. > :25:43.recognise that it is then around somebody else. In Manchester, I met
:25:44. > :25:54.a group of volunteers taking things into their own hands. You can have
:25:55. > :26:00.different colours. Meet the poo busters. I started spraying the poo
:26:01. > :26:05.with spray paint to say to people, I don't like what you're doing and to
:26:06. > :26:10.help people not to tread in it. It is the peer pressure and the
:26:11. > :26:16.community telling other members of the community. But is peer pressure
:26:17. > :26:21.and paint enough to change anything? Our hectic eat on the go culture is
:26:22. > :26:26.here to stay. But seeing that there are some councils and businesses and
:26:27. > :26:35.even individuals working together, it has he was me optimistic that we
:26:36. > :26:44.can tidy up Britain. And you can watch Panorama - Our Dirty Nation
:26:45. > :26:47.tonight at 8.30 on BBC1. More now on our main story: the storm that's
:26:48. > :26:50.swept across the UK, killing two people and causing massive
:26:51. > :26:54.disruption to road, rail and air travel. Well our correspondent,
:26:55. > :26:57.Jeremy Cooke, is in a helicopter over Hertfordshire gauging the
:26:58. > :27:01.effects of the storm. Yes in driving rain in the skies above London. The
:27:02. > :27:07.news helicopter has been out for most of the morning. What they have
:27:08. > :27:13.seen is not widespread devastation, but widespread disruption. This is
:27:14. > :27:18.not 1987 when the country was covered in fallen trees. But there
:27:19. > :27:22.are enough trees down across the rail and road network to cause
:27:23. > :27:28.problems. Looking down on the the main line you see a typical site,
:27:29. > :27:33.very -- sight, very few trains running. Because the teams cannot
:27:34. > :27:39.get out to get all of the trees off the lines outside London. It is
:27:40. > :27:44.crippling some soft net -- some of the network. And it is not only the
:27:45. > :27:48.obstruction to trains, but power lines come down and that causes
:27:49. > :27:52.problems across the south-west, south and east of England. Now,
:27:53. > :27:57.there will be many people watching saying it is just a windy day in
:27:58. > :28:02.autumn in Britain. But make no mistake, in some perhaps isolated
:28:03. > :28:07.areas, this has been a serious event. It has been an event where
:28:08. > :28:13.people have lost their lives. It is a tragic consequence to what storm
:28:14. > :28:20.St Jude has brought to Britain over night. Thank you. Time for a look at
:28:21. > :28:23.the weather for across the UK and has the worst of the storm
:28:24. > :28:29.dissipated now? Here's John Hammond. Back to normal. But first a look
:28:30. > :28:34.back and we are forecasting the potential for this storm as much as
:28:35. > :28:39.a week ago. It is only in the last 24 hours that it has raised its ugly
:28:40. > :28:44.head with the rain and the strength of winds that did damage tucked into
:28:45. > :28:48.the rear of the storm system. We saw a swathe of damaging winds,
:28:49. > :28:53.ploughing from south-west England up to many other counties and not just
:28:54. > :29:06.the coast. Inland as you can see we have seen a lot of disruption. Up to
:29:07. > :29:10.80mph gusts in the thing we call the sting jet. Midlands and northwards
:29:11. > :29:14.at the last minute, you just about got away with it. That p low
:29:15. > :29:25.pressure system, the storm has zipped off across the North Sea and
:29:26. > :29:30.is now causing damage in Scandinavia. Some heavy showers and
:29:31. > :29:35.some sunshine in the east. But the clearing up process can start.
:29:36. > :29:39.Feeling chilly in the wind, 11 or 12 degrees. And that chilly theme
:29:40. > :29:45.continues tonight. Still some showers, still blustery,
:29:46. > :29:50.particularly in the west. Some op showers will -- of the showers will
:29:51. > :29:53.move to the east. There could be a touch of frost in the glens of
:29:54. > :29:57.eastern Scotland. But more showers pushing into western areas as we
:29:58. > :30:01.head towards the end of the night and some will zip across to the east
:30:02. > :30:05.in the morning. So another showery day. If anything tomorrow the
:30:06. > :30:12.showers will tend to ease down and we will see increasing amounts of
:30:13. > :30:18.sunshine. In the please again -- breeze it will feel chilly with
:30:19. > :30:24.temperatures around 10 degrees. Looking beyond that, we are looking
:30:25. > :30:29.at another system coming in from the west that will bring rain and some
:30:30. > :30:35.blustery weather. But nothing too extreme. It does mean a wet and rind
:30:36. > :30:39.I -- windy start in Northern Ireland and Scotland. That rain will arrive
:30:40. > :30:43.later on in the day. So not pleasant. There will be some rain
:30:44. > :30:51.for sure. But to some up the rest of the week, back to normal - blustery
:30:52. > :30:57.winds and cooler and there will bh some -- be some rain. More on the
:30:58. > :31:00.storm can be found online. Thank you. At 1.30 a reminder of our main
:31:01. > :31:04.story this lunchtime: Two people have been killed in the storm that
:31:05. > :31:06.swept across the UK earlier today. There's still widespread disruption
:31:07. > :31:10.across the road and rail network. There'll be much more on the storm
:31:11. > :31:13.and its aftermath on the BBC News Channel throughout the afternoon.
:31:14. > :31:17.But that's all from the News at One this lunchtime. So it's goodbye from
:31:18. > :31:19.me - and on BBC One we now join our news teams where you
