:01:33. > :01:38.warnings are in place across the UK as storms continue to batter the
:01:39. > :01:41.coast. Large swathes of the UK are still being warned of the risk of
:01:42. > :01:44.floods as the Met Office forecasts more heavy rainfall for the south
:01:45. > :01:47.and South East of England. Three severe or "danger to life" flood
:01:48. > :01:50.warnings are in place in Dorset, where emergency flood sirens sounded
:01:51. > :01:53.as huge waves continued to batter the coast. One English Channel
:01:54. > :01:56.coastguard said she had never seen such a prolonged storm. Our
:01:57. > :02:09.correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is there. Sophie, good afternoon. It
:02:10. > :02:12.may look spectacular this busy latest place Britain to take a
:02:13. > :02:17.pounding from all of winter weather that you have been talking about.
:02:18. > :02:21.The wind is still working it in, making it quite hard to stand up.
:02:22. > :02:26.Where I am is 20 feet above these waves but last night, not only did
:02:27. > :02:31.they come over my position here but also to the upper floors of the
:02:32. > :02:36.surrounding houses, that is how high these seas where, prompting for the
:02:37. > :02:43.first time ever the emergency services to sign their siren,
:02:44. > :02:48.warning people to take shelter. They have not seen big seas like this
:02:49. > :02:53.year for two decades. Gigantic herds of white horses running rampant
:02:54. > :02:59.along this Dorset coastline. So high, they pounded the cold in,
:03:00. > :03:02.which sits 20 feet above the beach, leading authorities to signed the
:03:03. > :03:07.first warning siren that anyone can remember. It was fantastic to watch
:03:08. > :03:13.from a pure, you feel safe. The landlady decided to stay and took
:03:14. > :03:19.shelter upstairs. During a night of rattled brickwork and nerves. It was
:03:20. > :03:22.frightening in some respects but also quite exhilarating because we
:03:23. > :03:26.were upstairs watching from the window and at one point, one wave
:03:27. > :03:31.came across and there was water pouring all down the windows, down
:03:32. > :03:35.the doors, everywhere. But it didn't actually come so we were lucky.
:03:36. > :03:40.Other coastal stretches have taken another January pounding. In north
:03:41. > :03:46.Cornwall, this arch went from this... To this. It's famous
:03:47. > :03:52.doughnut shape and I with a big bite taken out of it. Seven people have
:03:53. > :03:58.not died and 7000 homes and businesses have been flooded since
:03:59. > :04:01.the Christmas period. MPs and others have questioned the government's
:04:02. > :04:06.ability to respond to emergencies like flooding. We certainly have
:04:07. > :04:10.concerns about the impact of the proposed budget cuts on the
:04:11. > :04:14.Environment Agency's ability to respond to flooding events in future
:04:15. > :04:18.but to be able to do the work that is required between floods to
:04:19. > :04:24.maintain defences. Flood defences are down to the Environment Agency,
:04:25. > :04:28.run by DEFRA. Since 2010 its budget has seen ?500 million in cuts.
:04:29. > :04:35.Officials have warned of further cuts of ?300 million over the next
:04:36. > :04:39.two years. But ministers say that ?370 million earmarked for new
:04:40. > :04:45.defences by 2016 is safe. We are in a different -- difficult environment
:04:46. > :04:48.and there is not much money around but what we are doing is
:04:49. > :04:54.prioritising spending on flood defences within the budget we have.
:04:55. > :04:59.Aberystwyth, like any other drenched areas of Britain, is another place
:05:00. > :05:03.trying to clear up today. A time peppered with the debris of its own
:05:04. > :05:12.beach. All part of what will become known as the wet winter. 2013-14.
:05:13. > :05:16.Whether it is Aberystwyth or in Devon, thousands of lives have been
:05:17. > :05:20.affected by this severe weather over the last few weeks. As you heard,
:05:21. > :05:26.there is a political debate underway about how to protect ourselves,
:05:27. > :05:29.protect coasts like this and protect inland areas from the flooding in
:05:30. > :05:33.that debate is still going on and, of course, this winter still has a
:05:34. > :05:44.long way to run. Thank you very much. There are more on the storms

:05:58. > :05:59.The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has dismissed David Cameron's target
:06:00. > :06:03.of cutting net migration - that's the difference between the number of
:06:04. > :06:06.people coming to live in the UK and those leaving - to below 100,000 by
:06:07. > :06:09.next year. He says the idea's impractical and almost certainly
:06:10. > :06:12.won't be achieved. In an interview for a BBC Two documentary tonight,
:06:13. > :06:15.The Truth About Immigration, Vince Cable says the Liberal Democrats
:06:16. > :06:23.have never signed up to an arbitrary cap. Our political correspondent,
:06:24. > :06:29.Ross Hawkins, reports. It is a key target for Prime Minister keen to
:06:30. > :06:31.look tough. He wants to cut net migration, the difference between
:06:32. > :06:36.the number of people coming to live in Britain and is emigrating, to
:06:37. > :06:40.under 100,000 a year by the general election. And it is a target that
:06:41. > :06:45.one member of his Cabinet says he is set to miss. Setting an arbitrary
:06:46. > :06:50.cap is not helpful, it almost literally will not achieve the level
:06:51. > :06:55.the Conservatives are setting anyway so let us be practical about it. Why
:06:56. > :07:00.Lib Dems, like Labour have, have always approach this approach, net
:07:01. > :07:05.migration has fallen by a third since the last election and rose
:07:06. > :07:12.recently to over 180,000, so can the target be met? My job is to carry on
:07:13. > :07:15.looking at every aspect of immigration and make sure that we
:07:16. > :07:22.are making the changes that we need to do. Some politicians are shy
:07:23. > :07:26.about talking to the British people about immigration now the tone has
:07:27. > :07:33.changed, in part because they know some voters want them to do much
:07:34. > :07:37.more. The British survey suggests that over three quarters of people
:07:38. > :07:41.want to see emigration cut, the highest level of concern since it
:07:42. > :07:45.first ask the question in the 90s. Over half want immigration reduced a
:07:46. > :07:51.lot and were almost a third think immigration is good for the economy,
:07:52. > :07:55.half of them still want it cut. Many believe that fewer immigrants would
:07:56. > :08:02.make is this more difficult for staff from abroad but UKIP says this
:08:03. > :08:07.is not just about economics. I don't want to live in a country whose
:08:08. > :08:10.population is heading towards 75 million people because are some
:08:11. > :08:16.people in society that matter more than money. Quality of life.
:08:17. > :08:20.Overcrowded Britain. Politicians seem to agree that they should say
:08:21. > :08:23.more about people travelling here to live and work, but even within
:08:24. > :08:27.government they cannot agree how many should be stopped from coming
:08:28. > :08:31.in. Sales of new cars have risen to their highest level in six years.
:08:32. > :08:34.That's according to figures from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and
:08:35. > :08:36.Traders, which represents the industry. Our business
:08:37. > :08:45.correspondent, Ben Thompson, is here. A sharp rise - what is behind
:08:46. > :08:50.it? Another sign of confidence in the UK economy and the Society of
:08:51. > :08:54.Motor Manufacturers and Traders told us that last year, 2.26 million cars
:08:55. > :08:57.were registered here in the UK and that is a rise of more than ten
:08:58. > :09:03.present on the year before so insubstantial rise. It also makes it
:09:04. > :09:08.the best year for sales since 2007. Taken together, all of that means
:09:09. > :09:15.the UK is the second largest car market in Europe, behind Germany. So
:09:16. > :09:18.clearly an important industry. But why the rise? The record low
:09:19. > :09:24.interest rates have helped, we need people can go and borrow more and
:09:25. > :09:27.spend on big-ticket items but also that has been a lot of pent-up
:09:28. > :09:30.demand. People were putting these big producers during the worst of
:09:31. > :09:36.the downturn and many people say neither is it time to do that. There
:09:37. > :09:40.is also a suggestion that PPI compensation payments have helped
:09:41. > :09:46.people, getting an average ?3000 each if you were affected. That is
:09:47. > :09:49.for a deposit for the car. But there is an underlying feeling that the
:09:50. > :09:52.economy is picking up and more people are going out and spending
:09:53. > :09:57.and confidence is on the up. These figures are in stark contrast with
:09:58. > :10:01.the rest of Europe? In Europe are falling. Table in Europe are not
:10:02. > :10:05.filling is confident about the state of the economy. Also in the UK,
:10:06. > :10:08.people are starting to feel that things are picking up and are voting
:10:09. > :10:12.with their feet and going out and spending. But it is worth pointing
:10:13. > :10:15.out that this is an important industry for the UK, these figures
:10:16. > :10:20.suggest that one in seven cars sold last year were made in the UK and it
:10:21. > :10:24.is an important industry not just for manufacturers but creating jobs
:10:25. > :10:28.here. It is thought that production in the UK is at a six-year high. And
:10:29. > :10:37.last year we heard that the Jaguar Land Rover and Bentley company
:10:38. > :10:40.expanded production here. Thank you. A small number of people added to
:10:41. > :10:46.the pressure on accident and emergency departments last winter.
:10:47. > :10:49.New figures obtained by the BBC show that some people went to A more
:10:50. > :10:52.than 50 times in a year. And almost 12,000 people made more than ten
:10:53. > :10:58.visits to their local A last year. Our health correspondent, Branwen
:10:59. > :11:04.Jeffreys, reports. A familiar scene in emergency departments around the
:11:05. > :11:09.country. Casualty staff dealing with a patient they have seen hundreds of
:11:10. > :11:15.times. A man whose alcohol problems bring him here frequently. But there
:11:16. > :11:18.are many reasons why some patients visit A repeatedly. From serious
:11:19. > :11:22.medical emergencies to people who want nowhere else to turn. And those
:11:23. > :11:28.who think it is easier than seeing a GP. A Doctors say even small extra
:11:29. > :11:32.numbers add to the pressures of busy departments. The BBC investigation
:11:33. > :11:39.reveals the scale of the repeat visits in some hospitals. Across the
:11:40. > :11:46.UK, 12,000 people accounted for more than 200,000 visits last year. At
:11:47. > :11:50.least 157 patients made more than 50 visits to the same casualty
:11:51. > :11:55.department. 183 A depart this released figures under the Freedom
:11:56. > :12:00.of information request. This hospital in Stockport this morning
:12:01. > :12:05.had a staff working flat out. Some repeat visits they see here are from
:12:06. > :12:11.very elderly people with complex medical problems. We have an ageing
:12:12. > :12:16.population, it is a sector publishing and we are trying to
:12:17. > :12:20.reduce capacity by reducing bed stays and that is a big ask and the
:12:21. > :12:23.future looks like more of the same unless we really get on top of how
:12:24. > :12:29.we manage patients in the community better to stop them leading hospital
:12:30. > :12:33.care. A departments or open around the clock. Hospitals sometimes feel
:12:34. > :12:39.they pick up the pieces when others are closed. There are definite gaps
:12:40. > :12:43.in services, for example social services and drug and alcohol
:12:44. > :12:46.services but it is also an issue about A being the victim of its
:12:47. > :12:51.own success. People understandably come back. There is no doubt that
:12:52. > :12:56.A departments around the UK are hard-pressed. And because they are
:12:57. > :13:01.busy, there is increasing interest in who is coming through those
:13:02. > :13:05.doors. People making repeat visits are just one small part of that. But
:13:06. > :13:12.it all adds to the workload in these busy departments. If you want to see
:13:13. > :13:15.how your local A is coping, you can visit bbc.co.uk/nhswinter to

:13:29. > :13:31.a suicide vest has been arrested by police in Southern Afghanistan. It's
:13:32. > :13:33.thought she was trying to blow up a police checkpoint. Our defence
:13:34. > :13:42.correspondent, Caroline Wyatt, sent this report from Kabul. The face of
:13:43. > :13:47.a child, just ten or 11 years old. She is called Sphozmay and is the
:13:48. > :13:52.latest pawn in a little insurgency. It is not clear how old she is, with
:13:53. > :13:56.certificates are rare. But officials say her brother, a Taliban
:13:57. > :14:03.commander, gave her a suicide vest and told her to blow up a police
:14:04. > :14:08.station. She told journalists in Helmand that are friend forced to
:14:09. > :14:13.win the vest but when she saw the river she would cross, it looked
:14:14. > :14:16.cold and she said she couldn't. Once back at home, she gives her father
:14:17. > :14:24.beat her so she ran away and give herself up to the police. The use of
:14:25. > :14:29.female suicide bombers remains rare here in Afghanistan, even more so
:14:30. > :14:33.the use of children. The last similar case anyone could think of
:14:34. > :14:37.was in 2011, when an eight-year-old girl was given a bomb to carry to a
:14:38. > :14:41.police car, blowing herself up. It has aroused a sense of deep
:14:42. > :14:46.revulsion across Afghanistan, with many saying it shows a sense of
:14:47. > :14:51.desperation amongst the Taliban. It was shocking, and in the family, my
:14:52. > :14:58.girls were shocked. In the committee, in the parliament today,
:14:59. > :15:06.we had MPs talking about it. It is scary in a way that this happens,
:15:07. > :15:10.how brittle a brother could be to promote his sister to commit
:15:11. > :15:16.suicide. It indicates that despite the fact that many people talk about
:15:17. > :15:22.possible changes in the perspective of the Taliban, still that change
:15:23. > :15:25.has not come. The story has also been used in the war of words
:15:26. > :15:29.between the Afghan government and the Taliban. What will happen to the
:15:30. > :15:33.little girl caught in the middle is not yet clear. The Afghan
:15:34. > :15:42.authorities have described her as an innocent child who should be treated
:15:43. > :15:46.as such. Yet more heavy rain is forecast to hit parts of the UK,
:15:47. > :15:51.more than 100 flood warnings remain in place after another night of rain

:16:28. > :16:30.across the country. Millions of people in America's Midwest have
:16:31. > :16:37.been told to stay at home as a result of the blast of Arctic air.
:16:38. > :16:40.Forecasters say almost 190 million people will have been affected by

:17:13. > :17:21.the snow have never felt anything like it. This is quite frigid! I am
:17:22. > :17:27.not used to this at all. Several sweaters, two jackets and walk fast.
:17:28. > :17:32.Road conditions are treacherous. Two states have banned diving except in

:18:47. > :18:52.the Midwest of the United States, Sophie. Right now it is minus 25
:18:53. > :18:56.Celsius, and Indianapolis is essentially a ghost town. This
:18:57. > :19:01.places shut down. At least the interstate behind me is open.
:19:02. > :19:05.Believe it or not, the governor closed down the entire interstate
:19:06. > :19:08.system and told everybody to stay at home, that it would actually be
:19:09. > :19:12.illegal to drive on the interstate system here in the United States, at
:19:13. > :19:15.least in the state of Indiana, if you can believe that. People are
:19:16. > :19:20.doing their best, mostly staying inside. School is cancelled, as you
:19:21. > :19:24.mentioned, most employers are not requiring people to come to work, so
:19:25. > :19:28.all of that is good. I want to update you on a situation in
:19:29. > :19:35.Illinois, right next to us, about 80 miles outside of Chicago. Three
:19:36. > :19:38.trains operated by Amtrak, which operates the trains here in the
:19:39. > :19:41.United States, was stuck in a snow bank. This happened yesterday in the
:19:42. > :19:46.afternoon, and so people, more than 500 passengers stuck on those three
:19:47. > :19:50.trains outside of the Chicago area for 14 hours. So I don't think I
:19:51. > :19:53.have to get to graphic here, but if you can think about the bathroom
:19:54. > :19:59.situation, the living conditions on that train, no thank you very much,
:20:00. > :20:03.a bad situation. Amtrak has finally got some buses to those people and
:20:04. > :20:08.have started to rescue them. They will then be bussed to Chicago, but
:20:09. > :20:12.the roads the whole way are a mess, the airports are a mess as well, so
:20:13. > :20:17.the end of the journey still very much in doubt, Sophie. Ryan Owens,

:20:55. > :20:59.opened two years ago. Prison cells were damaged as about 20 inmates
:21:00. > :21:04.threatened staff. It took nine hours to restore order. Today the security
:21:05. > :21:07.firm G4S, which operates Oakwood, defended its record. We are
:21:08. > :21:11.obviously working very hard, the staff are gaining experience day by
:21:12. > :21:16.day, the managers are leading them in that, and I think it is time that
:21:17. > :21:20.people recognised the work my staff are doing at Oakwood. But now it has
:21:21. > :21:24.emerged that Sunday's disturbance at Oakwood is just the tip of the
:21:25. > :21:27.iceberg. I have seen documents suggesting that they were serious
:21:28. > :21:30.problems at the prison two months ago, with senior officials at the
:21:31. > :21:36.Ministry of Justice told about assaults and violence. In one week
:21:37. > :21:40.during November, there were five incidents when staff or prisoners
:21:41. > :21:43.were assaulted. There was also a serious outbreak of disorder when
:21:44. > :21:49.prisoners threatened officers with pool cues and broom handles and lit
:21:50. > :21:54.a number of small fires. All this at Bryn's biggest prison, Oakwood holds
:21:55. > :21:57.1600 inmates. That Britain. And the Government was planning an even
:21:58. > :22:03.bigger one at Wrexham in North Wales. That too was likely to be
:22:04. > :22:07.operated by a private company. There are currently 14 privately run
:22:08. > :22:13.prisons in England and Wales. They are run by three firms, G4S and
:22:14. > :22:17.Serco. Last summer officials said they had serious concerns about
:22:18. > :22:21.Oakwood and another large prison, tame side in London. There is no
:22:22. > :22:24.evidence that large prisons work or that they are driving down unit
:22:25. > :22:31.costs. There is no evidence that they work in control, in reducing
:22:32. > :22:38.reoffending. Quite the reverse is true. The Government will be closely
:22:39. > :22:41.following G4S's management of Oakwood in the future. It may be one
:22:42. > :22:45.of the companies bidding to operate the new prison in Wales, but these
:22:46. > :22:49.disturbances are a reminder of the difficulties of running such a big
:22:50. > :22:51.prison. Danny Shaw, BBC News. Princess Cristina, the youngest
:22:52. > :22:54.daughter of King Juan Carlos of Spain, has been summoned to appear
:22:55. > :22:58.in court to face questioning over a long-running corruption scandal
:22:59. > :23:00.surrounding her husband. She will have to answer questions over
:23:01. > :23:04.allegations of tax fraud and money laundering. Let's speak to our
:23:05. > :23:12.correspondent Tom Burridge, who's in Madrid. How damaging is all this
:23:13. > :23:16.proving to Spain's Royal Family? Well, Sophie, potentially very
:23:17. > :23:19.damaging. This is a long-running scandal, every twist and turn of it
:23:20. > :23:23.has been to covered in the Spanish media, and the Royal household here
:23:24. > :23:26.has always tried to draw a line between the Princess and other
:23:27. > :23:32.direct members of the Royal Family and her husband, Inaki Urdangarin.
:23:33. > :23:36.He is accused of misusing millions of euros of public money, but the
:23:37. > :23:40.fact that the Princess has now to appear in court in the orca in March
:23:41. > :23:43.will make that much harder, and this comes in the context of the
:23:44. > :23:46.declining popularity of the Royal Family here in Spain, and in
:23:47. > :23:50.particular the King. A year and a half ago, he was heavily criticised
:23:51. > :23:55.for hunting elephants in Botswana at the height of the economic crisis,
:23:56. > :24:00.and a poll in a leading Spanish newspaper at this weekend found that
:24:01. > :24:02.62% of people in Spain now wants the King to abdicate. Tom, thank you
:24:03. > :24:05.very much. The family of teenage girl who went
:24:06. > :24:08.missing 11 days ago say she was angry and upset that her family's
:24:09. > :24:12.asylum-seeker status barred her from going to university. Speaking at a
:24:13. > :24:15.press conference, her sister made an emotional appeal for the 18-year-old
:24:16. > :24:20.from Newport to return, saying the family could not live without her.
:24:21. > :24:29.Our Wales correspondent, Hywel Griffith, reports.
:24:30. > :24:32.A model student, desperate to go to university, Nida Ul-Naseer's
:24:33. > :24:36.disappearance is said to be completely out of character. Her
:24:37. > :24:42.family says the 18-year-old was upset on the night she disappeared,
:24:43. > :24:50.angry that their status as asylum seekers meant she couldn't go on to
:24:51. > :24:56.higher education. She decided to leave the house because she could
:24:57. > :25:02.not getting opportunity to go to university. Nida went missing from
:25:03. > :25:07.the family home on December the 28th, stepping out, they say, to put
:25:08. > :25:11.out the rubbish. Her family say that when she walked out of the house,
:25:12. > :25:14.she didn't have her coat, her purse or even her mobile phone, which she
:25:15. > :25:21.took everywhere. They say they simply have no idea where she could
:25:22. > :25:25.have gone. A team of 40 officers have been searching for the
:25:26. > :25:30.teenager, combing through local streets and lanes, examining
:25:31. > :25:36.hundreds of hours of CCTV footage. We remain open-minded about the
:25:37. > :25:40.reason for Nida's disappearance and we will consider all lines of
:25:41. > :25:45.inquiry. Family has stressed several times that they are not angry with
:25:46. > :25:47.the teenager and only want her to return home. Hywel Griffith, BBC
:25:48. > :25:50.News, Newport. Technology you can wear, cameras,
:25:51. > :25:53.so-called augmented reality glasses that allow you to watch 3D
:25:54. > :25:59.television and look at the internet at the same time, 3D printing and
:26:00. > :26:02.drones. They're just some of the latest gadgets on display at the
:26:03. > :26:06.world's biggest Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Our technology
:26:07. > :26:14.correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, is there.
:26:15. > :26:18.Las Vegas in January, and gadgets have taken the place of gamblers as
:26:19. > :26:22.this town's biggest money spinners. Thousands of new Roberts which
:26:23. > :26:26.promised to change the way we live are fighting for attention, even at
:26:27. > :26:30.a preview event the trends are clear. What strikes me here is the
:26:31. > :26:32.importance of these, just about everything is controlled connected
:26:33. > :26:38.to a smartphone, so what is happening here? This drive is about
:26:39. > :26:42.as fast as most people can run, it would get about a metre of air. It
:26:43. > :26:50.is a taut connected to a smartphone. This is the first electric connected
:26:51. > :26:53.toothbrush. It gives you real time information about how well you brush
:26:54. > :26:57.your teeth, for instance there are three members of the family, and
:26:58. > :27:01.Lucy, the last one, has not brush their teeth for the last two weeks.
:27:02. > :27:11.Wearable technology is big, so what is this? It gives personalised
:27:12. > :27:16.advice. So it measures how much you have been in the sun and you read it
:27:17. > :27:21.out on your smartphone? Yeah. There is also the world's first curve
:27:22. > :27:25.smartphone and any number of devices that measure what is happening to
:27:26. > :27:28.you and your phone, from a sleek monitor to Mother, which collect
:27:29. > :27:32.information from sensors around the house. Then there are unmanned
:27:33. > :27:35.aerial vehicles, or drones as they are commonly known. We took one
:27:36. > :27:40.outside to put it through its paces. So what kind of users are
:27:41. > :27:45.people finding for these new vehicles? There are a lot of users,
:27:46. > :27:48.say, like agriculture, monitoring crops. There are users for search
:27:49. > :27:53.and rescue, people can throw something up in the air quickly
:27:54. > :27:57.without having to get fully manned helicopter out there. When it comes
:27:58. > :28:02.to new technology, Las Vegas is the place to see the big picture, but
:28:03. > :28:08.many of the products launched here may fail to take off. Rory
:28:09. > :28:11.Cellan-Jones, BBC News, Las Vegas. The Duke of Cambridge took the train
:28:12. > :28:13.today as he began his studies at Cambridge University. Prince William
:28:14. > :28:16.is taking an agricultural management course which has been designed to
:28:17. > :28:22.help him prepare for when he inherits the Duchy of Cornwall
:28:23. > :28:24.estate. Time now for a look at the weather,
:28:25. > :28:33.series Chris Fawkes. Sunshine and showers, strong winds
:28:34. > :28:37.whipping up stormy seas bringing crashing waves onto the coastline of
:28:38. > :28:41.south-west England, where it will be pretty dangerous to get too close to
:28:42. > :28:45.the EC. The radar shows us where we have the showers at the moment,
:28:46. > :28:49.widespread showers affecting the north and west of the British Isles.
:28:50. > :28:53.We have got 70 odd weather warnings in force across southern England
:28:54. > :28:56.alone, but today's wet weather continues to clear away, followed by
:28:57. > :29:01.another couple of pulses of rain tonight, and one tomorrow night,
:29:02. > :29:05.again falling on saturated ground, bringing a risk of further localised
:29:06. > :29:09.flooding problems over the next 24 - 48 hours. This afternoon, a large
:29:10. > :29:12.swathe of eastern England, East Anglia and southern counties of
:29:13. > :29:17.England were showers will be really rare, so many areas will stay dry
:29:18. > :29:21.with sunshine. Not so for Wales and the north-west, plenty of downpours
:29:22. > :29:25.here, and for Northern Ireland and Scotland, we are also expecting lots
:29:26. > :29:30.of showers, but not as heavy as yesterday by and large. Temperatures
:29:31. > :29:33.similar to yesterday, seven or eight degrees. Overnight this first batch
:29:34. > :29:37.of rain comes in anywhere from Dorset across towards Norfolk, a
:29:38. > :29:39.risk of seeing another 10-20 millimetres of rain, again bringing
:29:40. > :29:44.a risk of further localised flooding problems, plenty of showers to the
:29:45. > :29:48.north and west, staying pretty windy overnight. That means it will be
:29:49. > :29:51.frost free and another mild one in store. That takes us on into
:29:52. > :29:55.Wednesday, and we should have a reasonable day weather-wise.
:29:56. > :29:58.Although we do have an approaching weather system towards the
:29:59. > :30:01.south-west, we get a little bump of high pressure building in across
:30:02. > :30:05.England and Wales, and that means any early morning showers across the
:30:06. > :30:09.North tending to clear away, England and Wales having plenty of sunshine
:30:10. > :30:13.for the afternoon, staying mainly dry for many. Northern Ireland also
:30:14. > :30:15.improving, and in Scotland the showers increasingly confined to
:30:16. > :30:19.northern areas, so an improving picture for many of us, but we
:30:20. > :30:23.finished the day with a band of rain working into the south-west of
:30:24. > :30:25.England and southern Wales once again. This area of rain looks
:30:26. > :30:30.likely to move northwards to affect parts of Northern Ireland, moving
:30:31. > :30:32.across England and Wales, across the Pennines into southern Scotland.
:30:33. > :30:36.Over the highest hills, a chance of seeing a bit of snow for a time.
:30:37. > :30:39.This extra rainfall will not help the flooding situation. As we get
:30:40. > :30:44.towards Thursday, though, that band of rain clears out of the way, a
:30:45. > :30:47.fine afternoon in prospect, we start to build pressure across England and
:30:48. > :30:50.Wales. Now I am not going to say it is good to be dry, but the weather
:30:51. > :30:54.fronts are likely to be increasingly weak for a time at least as we head
:30:55. > :30:56.towards Friday and the weekend, so hopefully that should allow some
:30:57. > :31:00.easing of the current flooding problems we have.
:31:01. > :31:06.A reminder of our top story this lunchtime: Yet more heavy rain is
:31:07. > :31:12.forecast to hit parts of the UK, over 100 flood warnings remain in
:31:13. > :31:13.place after another night of rain and high tides. And that is
