:04:07. > :04:11.welfare bill. Working age benefits in Britain will have to be frozen
:04:12. > :04:16.for two years. This is the choice Britain needs to take to protect our
:04:17. > :04:22.economic stability and to secure a better future. The fairest way to
:04:23. > :04:25.reduce welfare bills is to make sure benefits are not rising faster than

:16:03. > :16:09.she was a very special individual. She did the everyday things in a

:24:15. > :24:21.Winslade, a farmer, is just one of the many waiting to move back in. He
:24:22. > :24:24.welcomes the flood prevention work. It is enough for this year because
:24:25. > :24:30.we are going to run out of time. We need to keep going year-on-year,
:24:31. > :24:36.doing maintenance and upgrading. It is a good start. A 20 year action
:24:37. > :24:42.plan is being put into place, from dredging to drainage to raising main
:24:43. > :24:46.roads by as much as four feet in places, so will it work? If we have
:24:47. > :24:56.the same level of rainfall we had last year, the A372 should remain
:24:57. > :25:01.open. Although this land is designed to flood, it is also designed to
:25:02. > :25:06.drain, but this year that process took a long time. Too long. Part of
:25:07. > :25:11.this main road were submerged for weeks and it has been at risk for a
:25:12. > :25:16.generation. This covert was built in the 1970s,
:25:17. > :25:23.it can handle around 17 tonnes of flood water per second. So they are
:25:24. > :25:28.digging a second call vote, it will double the capacity to 35 tonnes of
:25:29. > :25:36.flood water per second and that should mean the A372 behind me does
:25:37. > :25:40.not flood again. After decades of underinvestment, the money is now
:25:41. > :25:46.being spent at a pace. This amount of work in such a short timescale is
:25:47. > :25:48.unprecedented. Somerset has attracted millions of pounds
:25:49. > :25:54.historically but never has it been spent in such a short time and on
:25:55. > :25:59.such a tight timescale. So this road is closed once again and will remain
:26:00. > :26:07.so for around 11 weeks, a small price to pay though if these scenes
:26:08. > :26:11.can be avoided in years ahead. No one is quite sure how much the
:26:12. > :26:17.winter's flooding cost locals, the economy and the county of Somerset.
:26:18. > :26:21.Estimates of ?40 million and above, so there is determination here that
:26:22. > :26:30.what has happened for the last two winters cannot be allowed to happen
:26:31. > :26:33.again. There was no need for a miracle at Gleneagles yesterday
:26:34. > :26:38.after the Europeans comfortably saw off the Americans in the Ryder Cup.
:26:39. > :26:44.The American captain, Tom Watson, has come under a lot of criticism
:26:45. > :26:50.for the heavy defeat but Europe's captain was delighted with his
:26:51. > :26:54.side's performance. Paul McGinley with his family and a spot of
:26:55. > :27:01.silverware, the morning after Europe's Ryder Cup supremacy had
:27:02. > :27:05.been thrillingly confirmed. Jamie Donaldson's pinpoint precision
:27:06. > :27:09.securing their eighth win from the last ten competitions, a triumph for
:27:10. > :27:16.the players but dedicated to the fans. The pleasure we have given as
:27:17. > :27:20.a team to so many people, you just look at the crowd yesterday and you
:27:21. > :27:26.see people high-fiving each other when they don't know each other and
:27:27. > :27:29.that makes it special. The site of the victorious European captain has
:27:30. > :27:35.become an increasingly familiar one recently. It used to be the US that
:27:36. > :27:40.dominated the Ryder Cup, how things have changed. Last night the
:27:41. > :27:44.American recriminations had already begun. Star player Phil Mickelson
:27:45. > :27:50.questioning the tactics of his captain, but as his team headed home
:27:51. > :27:55.this morning, Watson had no regrets. The issue between Phil and myself,
:27:56. > :27:59.it is basically a difference of opinion and he has a difference of
:28:00. > :28:06.opinion about the way he would like to manage the team, and I simply had
:28:07. > :28:09.my own opinion about how to manage the team. If the United States seem
:28:10. > :28:15.disunited, Europe's spirits are undeniable. This, it seems, is now
:28:16. > :28:22.part for the course. Two days after their wedding
:28:23. > :28:24.in Venice, actor George Clooney and human
:28:25. > :28:27.rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, have The couple smiled and waved
:28:28. > :28:31.as their boat was surrounded by a flotilla carrying photographers
:28:32. > :28:33.and onlookers. Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon
:28:34. > :28:35.and Bill Murray were among the guests at the highly
:28:36. > :28:39.anticipated three day wedding. Time for a look at the weather.
:28:40. > :28:50.Here's Louise Lear. September has been lovely and it
:28:51. > :28:55.looks like we will finish the final few days on a similar note. Feeling
:28:56. > :29:00.warm for the next couple of days, the driest of the weather in the
:29:01. > :29:04.east but there are indications of things starting to change as we move
:29:05. > :29:08.towards next weekend. One of the reasons September has been so
:29:09. > :29:13.settled is due to this jet stream. It has been sitting to the north of
:29:14. > :29:17.the UK, steering the weather fronts to the north and allowing quiet
:29:18. > :29:21.weather conditions to continue. It has allowed the high pressure across
:29:22. > :29:27.Europe to be a dominant feature, but today we are drugging up some warm,
:29:28. > :29:33.moist air from the near continent, sparking a change across England and
:29:34. > :29:38.Wales after the glorious weekend. Some showers dotted around. If you
:29:39. > :29:46.catch them, they could be heavy, possibly thundery, but pretty hit
:29:47. > :29:51.and miss. For Northern Ireland, England and Scotland, it will be
:29:52. > :29:55.feeling reasonably pleasant, but I suspect as we go through to the
:29:56. > :29:59.early part of the evening some of the showers will linger across
:30:00. > :30:04.northern England, slowly drifting away into the North Sea. More of a
:30:05. > :30:11.breeze developing across England and Wales so hopefully not as much as a
:30:12. > :30:14.threat with some fog forming through the night. We start off tomorrow
:30:15. > :30:23.with some rain pushing into the west, some of it for a time will be
:30:24. > :30:27.quite heavy, slowly easing by the afternoon, brushing the fringes of
:30:28. > :30:36.Wales on the south-west. To the ease of that -- east of that, high
:30:37. > :30:42.temperatures to close out September. During Wednesday, a band of cloud
:30:43. > :30:48.and a spot of rain, but behind it fresher and cleaner conditions with
:30:49. > :30:52.more sunshine coming into Scotland. I suspect Wednesday into Thursday
:30:53. > :30:56.will be quite a chilly start. Here is the change from Friday onwards,
:30:57. > :31:06.some wet and windy weather starting to arrive. Gales coming in, and that
:31:07. > :31:10.will start to drive cooler air from the north. It never really gets all
:31:11. > :31:15.the way down to the south but a noticeable difference as we approach
:31:16. > :31:17.the end of the week. Turning unsettled, windy
:31:18. > :31:22.the end of the week. Turning unsettled, windy conditions, and
:31:23. > :31:27.potentially some significant rain. A reminder of our top story: A
:31:28. > :31:33.two-year freeze on working age benefits, George Osborne outlines
:31:34. > :31:35.his plans to cut the welfare bill, saying it will save ?3 billion.
