:00:11. > :00:19.their homes and the Met Office says there's more wind and rain to come.
:00:20. > :00:23.The Thames Valley is hardest hit. 1600 troops are on stand-by but some
:00:24. > :00:29.residents expressed anger that not enough is being done to help. We

:00:34. > :00:39.amateurs. I am scared that we will mess up. I've will be reporting live
:00:40. > :00:42.from Wraysbury on Berkshire on the River Thames, where the army has
:00:43. > :00:50.just arrived to help flood that is. -- I. Levels on the River Severn are
:00:51. > :00:52.expected to rise even higher but resources are stretched to the
:00:53. > :00:56.limit. Visiting some of the worst hit
:00:57. > :00:58.areas, the Prime Minister warns it will take time before things get
:00:59. > :01:02.back to normal. We will have the latest on the flood
:01:03. > :01:07.crisis and those warnings from the Met Office in our weather forecast.
:01:08. > :01:11.Also this lunchtime, profits drop at Barclay's Bank but the bank still

:01:41. > :02:02.The next 48-hour Tube strike is off as a last-minute deal is agreed.
:02:03. > :02:09.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. Once again, it is
:02:10. > :02:12.raining in many parts of the UK, adding to the misery of thousands of
:02:13. > :02:17.people whose homes are either flooded or at risk from flooding. 14
:02:18. > :02:21.severe flood warnings are still in place in Berkshire and Surrey and
:02:22. > :02:26.two in Somerset. There are warnings that another inch of rain could fall
:02:27. > :02:29.today and another major storm is forecast to batter Britain tomorrow.
:02:30. > :02:39.The Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, said this morning the
:02:40. > :02:41.Government did have a grip on the situation but that it was dealing
:02:42. > :02:44.with an enormous force of nature. This lunchtime, we will be with our
:02:45. > :02:46.reporters across the flooded areas with all the latest, but first,
:02:47. > :02:51.let's cross to Ben Brown who is a Wraysbury in Berkshire. Yes, this is
:02:52. > :02:57.one of the very pretty streets in Wraysbury. It has been turned into a
:02:58. > :03:01.river, as you can see behind me. Ed Miliband is just down there but
:03:02. > :03:05.now, paying a visit to see what is happening with flood victims. Lots
:03:06. > :03:10.of parts of this village have been evacuated. People have left their
:03:11. > :03:13.homes, abandoned them, but others in this village and other communities
:03:14. > :03:16.up and down the Thames are refusing to leave their houses. They say they
:03:17. > :03:19.want to stay and protect their properties. In the last few
:03:20. > :03:24.minutes, the army has arrived in Wraysbury to try to help to see what
:03:25. > :03:28.they can do, and so have thousands of sandbags, so, at last, people say
:03:29. > :03:35.in this village, they are starting to get the help they really need.
:03:36. > :03:40.Little defences to hold back an enormous flood. This is what the
:03:41. > :03:44.people here have been asking for. Sandbags and as many of them as
:03:45. > :03:48.possible. Most of the effort so far has been local people doing what
:03:49. > :03:52.they can for the community. We have people coming from the Isle of Wight
:03:53. > :03:55.to help us, we have the RSPCA helping us but we don't have the
:03:56. > :04:00.Environment Agency. We need the army, we need more bodies. We have
:04:01. > :04:09.100 volunteers but we are amateurs. I am scared we will mess up. Over
:04:10. > :04:12.the last few hours, that number has now risen to 500. And it is not just
:04:13. > :04:16.the locals. This man travelled here from Essex. I have a young family so
:04:17. > :04:23.I might need to get back to them. But I will be here all day. I'm
:04:24. > :04:27.going to be getting sandbags to areas. And Ed Miliband has come to
:04:28. > :04:31.see for himself. I think it is clear the game is now being raised in
:04:32. > :04:35.terms of the help being provided and that is obviously important, but it
:04:36. > :04:40.is also important we make sure the necessary effort is being made to
:04:41. > :04:47.help people in this area and other areas like it. The RSPCA is also
:04:48. > :04:51.having to help quite a few people. Rescues of both people and animals.
:04:52. > :04:56.More so people than animals but we have been just offering our services
:04:57. > :05:01.to help people be evacuated. A different county, the same images.
:05:02. > :05:06.From Somerset to Bob Boxer, the military have come. Police and the
:05:07. > :05:11.local authorities in the lead but supported by government money, the
:05:12. > :05:16.military, where the military have a combo all contribution to make.
:05:17. > :05:21.Resources will be made available but we are dealing with a very, very
:05:22. > :05:27.extreme weather event. The Thames is a walk down this street behind me
:05:28. > :05:29.and it shows no signs of stopping. Hundreds of people have had to be
:05:30. > :05:37.moved from their homes and hundreds more may have to do the same over
:05:38. > :05:41.the next few days. So, flooding up and down the Thames
:05:42. > :05:46.in Surrey and Berkshire. 14 severe flood warnings along the Thames.
:05:47. > :05:53.Let's go to another part of the river, Marlow, and our correspondent
:05:54. > :05:56.is there for us. The River here is very high and fast flowing. Some
:05:57. > :06:02.residents have said they have not seen it like this in 40 years. The
:06:03. > :06:08.crypt of the church is flooded here and across from me, in apartments
:06:09. > :06:13.entirely underwater. Another part of the river is with sandbags. Normally
:06:14. > :06:18.the water levels between the River here, beside the weir, there should
:06:19. > :06:22.be able drop and there isn't, and that is causing growing concern. A
:06:23. > :06:28.short time ago I've met one couple who have been watching the water
:06:29. > :06:31.rising around their home. Mary and Lewis returned home from a
:06:32. > :06:35.holiday from South America days ago to find the front of their property
:06:36. > :06:40.flooded. Since then, water levels have been creeping up and they are
:06:41. > :06:43.expecting worse to come. You can see the houses entirely surrounded from
:06:44. > :06:48.inside. That garden is flooded and they have been putting up furniture
:06:49. > :06:51.and curtains to keep the water out and also protecting the legs of the
:06:52. > :06:56.furniture in case more water comes in. They have already had some
:06:57. > :06:59.flooding in the kitchen at the back. The fitted carpet will have to be
:07:00. > :07:03.taken up in the water has now come into the garage, too. There is
:07:04. > :07:07.nowhere for it to drain away too. They have put power cables on bricks
:07:08. > :07:10.to keep them dry so there is still electricity to the fridge and
:07:11. > :07:19.heating, even though they were to leave the house -- fridge and
:07:20. > :07:24.heating. Even though they were asked to leave, they have stayed put. It
:07:25. > :07:27.is not just what is happening today. It is what is happening further up
:07:28. > :07:32.the river and that will reach us in two days time here, you see. So we
:07:33. > :07:37.just have to live for each day and hope it doesn't get any worse. Now,
:07:38. > :07:42.residents that want to leave have been offered help. This couple chose
:07:43. > :07:45.not to do so. The problem is not just the river is self but the
:07:46. > :07:52.ground water. It is just not being able to soak away to go off the land
:07:53. > :07:56.away from those homes. Fire crews have set up on Sunday trying to move
:07:57. > :08:02.the water away from some of the most vulnerable homes there. -- have set
:08:03. > :08:06.up pumps and are trying. Let's move away from the Thames and go to
:08:07. > :08:09.another part of the country, to Worcester, where residents are
:08:10. > :08:19.watching anxiously the river levels of the River Severn. The bridge that
:08:20. > :08:23.is such an arterial route into this city is currently partially open and
:08:24. > :08:28.the sun has come out, though we have had torrential rain here this
:08:29. > :08:33.morning. It could be just a brief respite for a city bracing itself
:08:34. > :08:38.against more flooding. 150 years of history under eight
:08:39. > :08:43.feet of water. This is the cricket ground at Worcester after the River
:08:44. > :08:47.Severn burst its banks. For the most part, it is business as usual in the
:08:48. > :08:51.city. It has a long history of flooding and its people have learned
:08:52. > :08:57.to live with the highs and lows of the river that runs through its
:08:58. > :09:02.centre. Keeping traffic flowing across the city is essential for the
:09:03. > :09:05.business community. Yesterday, the main bridge was closed for several
:09:06. > :09:11.hours. And it may yet be closed again. And that owns a hairdressers
:09:12. > :09:17.near the river bank and is feeling the impact. -- and net. It is fully
:09:18. > :09:20.difficult, especially being so close to the river anyway. You never know
:09:21. > :09:25.how long the river will be up for. It could be a few days, it could be
:09:26. > :09:29.a week, the impact could be quite big. And honestly with clients not
:09:30. > :09:34.being able to get here or whatever, your income is based on them
:09:35. > :09:38.anyway. -- and obviously. And with the recession as well, it is a
:09:39. > :09:42.double whammy. Some businesses have had to close. There will be no
:09:43. > :09:48.taking that this pub today. Flood water is being pumped from the
:09:49. > :09:51.premises. In 2007, record flooding affected more than 10,000 homes
:09:52. > :09:58.across Worcestershire and neighbouring Gloucestershire. Water
:09:59. > :10:02.levels have not yet reached those heights but heavy rain fell this
:10:03. > :10:06.morning and Environment Agency officials are monitoring the
:10:07. > :10:11.situation. There is a second high water level coming down the river
:10:12. > :10:17.for tomorrow. We estimate that will be about the same as in 2007. We
:10:18. > :10:22.have got reports of about 100 properties along the length of the
:10:23. > :10:30.River Severn that have flooded. Flood defences have been installed,
:10:31. > :10:35.protecting an estimated 1300 houses. This bank was created as part of a
:10:36. > :10:40.?20 million response to the 2007 floods which caused havoc here.
:10:41. > :10:47.Without it, almost certainly the houses in this road would be flooded
:10:48. > :10:54.by now. And the city holds its breath, waiting to see what the next
:10:55. > :10:58.few days will have in store. And the latest information we have is that
:10:59. > :11:05.the River Severn is expected to peak on Thursday morning and at levels
:11:06. > :11:09.higher than in 2007. The defences are expected to hold but it is quite
:11:10. > :11:19.likely that the all-important bridge across the city of Worcester will
:11:20. > :11:23.close again. Many thanks. Sian Lloyd reporting there. Here in Wraysbury
:11:24. > :11:27.in Berkshire on the River Thames, it has been raining all morning. The
:11:28. > :11:31.rain, thankfully, has stopped now, but much more is forecast in the
:11:32. > :11:33.coming days. Indeed in the coming weeks. So it looks like these
:11:34. > :11:39.floodwaters are going to continue to rise.
:11:40. > :11:43.Many railway lines are underwater, causing more travel disruption for
:11:44. > :11:51.thousands of commuters. Our transport correspondent is in
:11:52. > :11:56.Datchet inbox. Just how bad is it? Well, we will show you in a minute.
:11:57. > :12:00.We will spin the camera around. They are facing two major problems. The
:12:01. > :12:04.first is the floodwater coming off the river. The Thames is just over
:12:05. > :12:08.there. That is the station and you can see the water between the
:12:09. > :12:13.rails. Let's spin the camera around. This is the line that goes from
:12:14. > :12:16.Windsor to London. Effectively completely flooded. You can drive
:12:17. > :12:24.the train if you can see the tracks, even if they are under water, but
:12:25. > :12:27.not here, because that is electrified, so obviously it is not
:12:28. > :12:30.safe. The second problem is bigger. You are looking at railway engineers
:12:31. > :12:34.looking at signal boxes and equipment. That is just outside
:12:35. > :12:40.Maidenhead. It is the ground water coming up and you cannot protect
:12:41. > :12:44.against it. You cannot put sandbags down to stop ground water coming
:12:45. > :12:48.in. That affected the signals on one of the busiest lines going out from
:12:49. > :12:51.Paddington, down the route to Maidenhead and further out West.
:12:52. > :12:56.What they have had to do is get the trains through without the signals.
:12:57. > :12:59.A driver takes a token, drives through the difficult bit, hand it
:13:00. > :13:03.over to a member of Network Rail, gives it to the next driver who
:13:04. > :13:15.comes through. You cannot drive unless you have the token. And that
:13:16. > :13:18.is the way they keep the system safe when they don't have signals. So
:13:19. > :13:20.what we're being told at the moment, yes, the floodwater is bad, but it
:13:21. > :13:23.is the ground water coming up and you cannot protect against that. And
:13:24. > :13:26.that is what they are worried about. How long will it take before things
:13:27. > :13:29.get back to some sort of normality? You could be talking weeks or
:13:30. > :13:32.months, which is bad news for commuters. What they have to do is
:13:33. > :13:35.wait for the water to go and then they have to check what the damage
:13:36. > :13:39.is. They don't know if the barristers coming away from the
:13:40. > :13:44.tracks underneath. So we could be faced with weeks, if not months, of
:13:45. > :13:49.slow line services, closures overnight, engineers going in, to
:13:50. > :13:52.look at the bank events and make sure those lines are safe enough for
:13:53. > :14:01.faster trains. -- look at embankments. So it is bad news for
:14:02. > :14:04.commuters for weeks, even months. David Cameron has spent the morning
:14:05. > :14:08.in Polish in Devon, where the main railway line into Cornwall was
:14:09. > :14:13.washed away earlier this month. He said the Government was united in
:14:14. > :14:17.its attempt to tackle the flooding affecting large parts of southern
:14:18. > :14:20.England. Everybody needs to get on with the vital work of bringing all
:14:21. > :14:24.the nation's resources to get out of road and rail moving, to help people
:14:25. > :14:27.who have been flooded, to plan for the future and to learn all the
:14:28. > :14:32.lessons of the very difficult situation we are in. That's what
:14:33. > :14:39.everyone's needs to do, that's what is going to happen in the days and
:14:40. > :14:43.weeks ahead. Let's talk to Norman Smith in Westminster. The switch of
:14:44. > :14:49.the blame game in the last few days to this talk of help? That is right.
:14:50. > :14:53.Normal politics has been put on hold as politicians become acutely aware
:14:54. > :14:57.of the depth of the crisis. The number of people affected, how long
:14:58. > :15:01.it is likely to go on for. And in the wake of yesterday's very
:15:02. > :15:04.unseemly finger-pointing, it is clear Mr Cameron has told some of
:15:05. > :15:11.his more belligerent ministers to rein it in. The likes of Ed Miliband
:15:12. > :15:15.went out of his way this lunchtime to praise the response to the
:15:16. > :15:20.crisis. And I think there is a general view that what this crisis
:15:21. > :15:23.is is way beyond the normal ebb and flow of daily politics. And to some
:15:24. > :15:27.extent, that is underlined by the fact that the Prime Minister will be
:15:28. > :15:31.giving one of his red Downing Street press conference is on the floods
:15:32. > :15:36.crisis. The last one he gave was more than a year ago. -- rare. But
:15:37. > :15:40.that typifies how this has become a national event, a national situation
:15:41. > :15:49.which goes beyond the normal business of daily politics Minister
:15:50. > :15:52.has pretty much cleared his diary. He has been out for the past 48
:15:53. > :15:55.hours visiting flood victims and then he is back for the press
:15:56. > :15:57.conference and then he has a meeting with COBRA. The sense that
:15:58. > :15:59.Westminster is that there has been a collective intake of breath amongst
:16:00. > :16:04.the political classes and the view that, while there are many questions
:16:05. > :16:07.to ask about possible budget cuts, about leadership, about whether
:16:08. > :16:11.people were too slow to respond, now is not the time for those sorts of
:16:12. > :16:16.questions and such is the depth of the crisis that everyone now has to
:16:17. > :16:21.focus on coming up with practical solutions to help those affected.
:16:22. > :16:28.Thank you. You can find out more about the flooding on the BBC News
:16:29. > :16:37.website. And there are, of course, updates on your BBC local radio and
:16:38. > :16:40.television stations. Our top story this lunchtime: More

:17:28. > :17:37.staff. It's also announced further job losses. Simon Gompertz reports.
:17:38. > :17:42.It is the bank which didn't have to be rescued by the taxpayer but
:17:43. > :17:47.Barclays has been tainted by a succession of scandals and now it

:17:52. > :17:55.bankers while it is still picking up the pieces from the financial
:17:56. > :18:06.crisis. Profits last year were down by nearly a third at ?5.2 billion
:18:07. > :18:11.but bonuses rose 10%, the majority to risk-taking investment bankers.
:18:12. > :18:17.We don't think investment banking per se damages the reputation of
:18:18. > :18:23.Barclays. What enhances or can potentially damage is the way we do
:18:24. > :18:35.business. Barclays traders were the first to be pilloried for attempting
:18:36. > :18:41.to change the LIBOR rate. The scandal over mis-selling payment
:18:42. > :18:50.protection insurance and mis-selling to small businesses, all as they
:18:51. > :18:54.have been trying to cut costs. It is true hundreds of others will be

:18:59. > :19:04.persuading staff and customers that now is the right time to increase

:21:12. > :21:15.Neighbours spoke today of their shock but also said they had been
:21:16. > :21:22.frightened of dogs which were kept at the house. A few times they came
:21:23. > :21:29.into my garden and chased me and we were really scared. I saw police
:21:30. > :21:35.vans arriving, we saw them being pulled out of the house handcuffed
:21:36. > :21:39.and getting into the van. Police will examine claims that neighbours
:21:40. > :21:43.had called the police about the dogs on previous occasions. Part of the
:21:44. > :21:48.inquiry, we will look into the history of the dogs, the nature and
:21:49. > :21:54.the breed of the dogs. At this moment in time it is early to
:21:55. > :21:58.speculate. This morning crime officers arrived at the house whilst
:21:59. > :22:03.away from the scene tests are being carried out on the dog to determine
:22:04. > :22:06.its breed. Police have said that when Ava-Jayne Marie Corless was
:22:07. > :22:12.attacked, she was asleep upstairs. Her mother and boyfriend were

:22:22. > :22:24.detectives. At the Winter Olympics in Sochi,
:22:25. > :22:27.Team GB's youngest member has been in action in the women's ski-slope
:22:28. > :22:30.style event. Katie Summerhayes, who' 18 years old, qualified for the
:22:31. > :22:33.final in third place. It all came down to the last two runs in a
:22:34. > :22:43.dramatic final. Andy Swiss is in Sochi. Yes, Katie Summerhayes
:22:44. > :22:49.started out on a dry ski slope in Sheffield, now one of the world's
:22:50. > :22:54.top slopestyle skiers. Could Britain win their second medal of these
:22:55. > :23:01.Winter Olympics? This time things didn't quite work out.
:23:02. > :23:05.Katie Summerhayes brimming with confidence and going for glory, the
:23:06. > :23:10.18-year-old had been hugely impressive in qualifying for the
:23:11. > :23:15.slopestyle, but when it came to the final her hopes promptly took a
:23:16. > :23:19.tumble. That fall in her first run meant it was all or nothing in her
:23:20. > :23:27.second and this time she was much better. But still not good enough.
:23:28. > :23:36.She finished in seventh place behind the winner, Canada's Dara Howell.
:23:37. > :23:44.Obviously gutted. I skied really well in qualification which made me
:23:45. > :23:48.feel good. It happens, everyone falls and I made two massive
:23:49. > :23:52.mistakes. Earlier there was a reminder of the dangers of her
:23:53. > :23:57.sport, horrible crash for this competitor from Canada, thankfully
:23:58. > :24:02.she escaped serious injury. Britain's men's curling team have
:24:03. > :24:05.been back in action, after one win and one defeat yesterday they were
:24:06. > :24:09.up against Germany in the round robin match but it turned into the
:24:10. > :24:14.tightest of tussles, the result is heading down to the wire. There has
:24:15. > :24:18.also been the first appearance of the biggest global staff at these
:24:19. > :24:25.Olympic Games, Shaun White going for his third gold medal in a row in the
:24:26. > :24:31.half pipe. The course has been reduced to slosh, but once again he
:24:32. > :24:37.made it look so easy. A huge score, and confident of cementing his place
:24:38. > :24:42.in Olympic history. Not exactly wintry here at the moment. There is
:24:43. > :24:49.concern about the snow turning slushy, it was particularly sticky
:24:50. > :24:59.for the snowboarders. In the curling match, Britain beat Germany 7-6 on
:25:00. > :25:03.the very final stone. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess

:25:25. > :25:28.to star in 43 feature films, but retired from the movie world at just

:25:40. > :25:44.at her life. With her ringlets, dimples and
:25:45. > :25:52.talent, Shirley Temple was a child starts with out equal. Indeed she
:25:53. > :25:59.was Hollywood's biggest star in the late 30s. Her innocent charm was box
:26:00. > :26:10.office magic. But her mother, Gertrude, had started her out in the
:26:11. > :26:17.less than wholesome baby left -- burlesques she was only for the
:26:18. > :26:28.time. But it wasn't long before she got to show off her talent for
:26:29. > :26:32.dancing. Her popularity saved the Fox Studios from bankruptcy and her
:26:33. > :26:39.cheery optimistic films were an escape from the hard times of the

:27:31. > :27:37.I don't... I wasn't upset, I was shocked. After her first marriage
:27:38. > :27:42.failed and her career stalled, she remarried and later re-emerged into
:27:43. > :27:46.public life. I'm dedicating my life and my energies to public service
:27:47. > :27:56.because I think our country needs it now more than it ever has before. I
:27:57. > :28:01.want to help. Shirley Temple Black moved into politics. During her
:28:02. > :28:05.career she became an ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia as well as
:28:06. > :28:09.the White House chief of protocol. It was a startling reinvention but

:28:39. > :28:45.days. We have more heavy rain to come, there is likely to be snow in
:28:46. > :28:50.some places, and gales. We are expecting further disruption due to
:28:51. > :28:53.the weather over the next 24 hours, even into the weekend. The weather
:28:54. > :29:01.system is clearing away, but we could see some rain and snow through
:29:02. > :29:08.parts of England. It does become drier and brighter. Some of the
:29:09. > :29:14.winter is could -- some of the showers could be wintry, even at
:29:15. > :29:23.lower levels. Across the north-west of the UK, again a mixture of sleet
:29:24. > :29:28.and snow. Some of those wintry showers feed further inland as we go
:29:29. > :29:33.through the night, and again the risk of some snow across the
:29:34. > :29:37.Midlands. It is going to be a cold night with temperatures falling down
:29:38. > :29:41.to freezing, so the risk of eyes first thing tomorrow morning.

:30:05. > :30:10.Quite a non-pleasant data tomorrow, temperatures could reach up to 10
:30:11. > :30:14.degrees but for many temperatures really struggling. The potential for
:30:15. > :30:25.some disruption is the strength of the wind. For many places we will
:30:26. > :30:30.see gusts of wind up to 60 mph. We could reach 80 around the coast of
:30:31. > :30:39.England, stretching up into Wales and Northern Ireland. By Thursday,
:30:40. > :30:43.it will stay with -- windy, there will be bright spells but frequent
:30:44. > :30:48.and heavy showers which could be wintry. By the time we get to
:30:49. > :30:54.Friday, another band of rain set to move up from the south. By the time
:30:55. > :31:00.we add in the rain from the other days, these are the areas that are
