:02:22. > :02:27.Thank you. This is the limit of the flood water in Carlisle at the
:02:28. > :02:34.moment but it is still very deep behind me. The water is up to the
:02:35. > :02:38.windows of the cars down the street. Look at the sky. It is starting to
:02:39. > :02:44.fill in again. We are expecting more bad weather this evening. This is
:02:45. > :02:50.the emergency hub which has been set up. The red truck at the back is the
:02:51. > :02:56.command centre. There are tactical advisers deploying assets around the
:02:57. > :03:00.city. There are 80 soldiers in Carlisle, 150 fire personnel, ten
:03:01. > :03:03.boat crews from all around the country, from Bournemouth,
:03:04. > :03:07.Manchester, Leicestershire and the Peak District. This is where much of
:03:08. > :03:13.rescue operation at the moment, rather than a mopping up exercise.
:03:14. > :03:18.It is still slowly receding but this morning, Carlyle was under several
:03:19. > :03:24.feet of water. The River Eden burst its banks on Sunday. Some places had
:03:25. > :03:28.ground floor rooms filled almost to the ceiling. This is Carlisle
:03:29. > :03:33.United's football ground, a basin for the flood water. There are whole
:03:34. > :03:37.neighbourhood is cut off, the city centre dissected by a giant lagoon.
:03:38. > :03:45.This family were rescued from the garage of their property down a
:03:46. > :03:47.ladder into the waiting boat. This is Warwick Road, one of the main
:03:48. > :03:50.routes through Carlisle, which frankly looks like a canal. There
:03:51. > :03:55.are still people in their houses down here who stuck it out for 36
:03:56. > :03:59.hours, but it is cold, food and water is running out and there are
:04:00. > :04:03.more and more calls coming in. The emergency rescue teams have come
:04:04. > :04:08.from all around the country, and they are busy. We have pulled out or
:04:09. > :04:19.evacuated about eight people so far. We have just been tasked with a
:04:20. > :04:22.medical urgency. There is an elderly lady down here. Some have tried to
:04:23. > :04:24.stick it out in their homes. There are 2500 properties affected. A
:04:25. > :04:28.third of those, the residents decided to stay put last night that
:04:29. > :04:36.they are now thinking that is a bad decision and they want out. In
:04:37. > :04:41.Keswick, Appleby, Cockermouth, Kendal, similar scenes. Around 3000
:04:42. > :04:46.homes and livelihoods destroyed. In Kendal, police discovered the body
:04:47. > :04:51.of an elderly man who fell into the River Kent yesterday. Storm Desmond
:04:52. > :04:57.delivered persistent, unprecedented rainfall. So much so that the first
:04:58. > :05:01.time in living memory, or waterfall formed over Malham Cove in
:05:02. > :05:07.Yorkshire. This morning, the Prime Minister chaired an emergency
:05:08. > :05:11.meeting. Our hearts go out to families driven out of their homes
:05:12. > :05:16.by flood water, many of whom would have had a worrying 48 hours. Some
:05:17. > :05:21.people stuck in their houses or care homes. I think the emergency
:05:22. > :05:26.services have done a brilliant job. There are questions across Cumbria
:05:27. > :05:31.about whether the flood defences built in 2005 and 2009 worked. The
:05:32. > :05:36.Environment Agency uses a sophisticated modelling to plan and
:05:37. > :05:40.predict events that seemingly, not on this scale. The city council in
:05:41. > :05:44.Carlisle has demanded an enquiry, but for now, there are other
:05:45. > :05:49.priorities. In the days ahead they will need to support thousands of
:05:50. > :05:52.residents who will face a miserable New Year.
:05:53. > :05:56.Yes, and our hearts go out to them. The water does appear to be
:05:57. > :06:00.receding. This morning we could not get down this bit where the trench
:06:01. > :06:08.is. There are some people going back to their homes. This family have a
:06:09. > :06:11.tractor and they are sucking water out from the Robert E. They have a
:06:12. > :06:13.pipe going into the downstairs rooms. More and more people are
:06:14. > :06:19.getting into their homes. Sarah Corker, our correspondent, has been
:06:20. > :06:23.visiting some of those going back. Another day and another family is
:06:24. > :06:28.rescued from their flood hit home in Carlisle. Damp and cold, Mary Weston
:06:29. > :06:32.and her grandchildren were lifted to safety on Warwick Road. We have been
:06:33. > :06:36.staying with my daughter. My youngest grandson has type one
:06:37. > :06:42.diabetes, so we needed to make sure he was all right. He is absolutely
:06:43. > :06:45.fine but to get him out to safety as well. Others were returning to their
:06:46. > :06:52.properties to salvage what they could. I met the patents, who like
:06:53. > :06:58.many others, have been through this all before back in 2005. I don't
:06:59. > :07:06.even know if I can speak! It is the second time we have gone through it.
:07:07. > :07:12.I will just speak to you instead, I know it is extremely difficult. What
:07:13. > :07:15.has happened to your property? Downstairs is completely destroyed.
:07:16. > :07:19.It is heartbreaking because everything was set for Christmas.
:07:20. > :07:24.All the decorations were up and we were going to have a special family
:07:25. > :07:29.Christmas this year. The council has been busy unblocking drains and
:07:30. > :07:33.clearing gullies so this floodwater has somewhere to go. The levels have
:07:34. > :07:39.been dropping but very slowly. When the water recedes, behind his left
:07:40. > :07:44.rubbish, mud and sewage. Marion Reilly was cleaning out her
:07:45. > :07:49.elderly's mother's house, when a floor buckled. This is everything,
:07:50. > :07:53.this is the mess. This is my mother trying to stop the water coming
:07:54. > :07:58.through the door and eventually, they heard that sound. She knew it
:07:59. > :08:03.was coming up through the floorboards. There is a sense of
:08:04. > :08:07.resilience here. Across the road, another family stripped the
:08:08. > :08:12.floorboards, determined to get back for Christmas. For many, this is a
:08:13. > :08:22.flashback to the 2005 floods, and once again, the city is rallying
:08:23. > :08:27.together. I did tell you the rainfall was
:08:28. > :08:32.unprecedented. The Met office have confirmed that the rainfall that
:08:33. > :08:36.fell in Cumbria between Friday and Saturday was 341 millimetres, and
:08:37. > :08:39.that breaks all records for this area that was set in.
:08:40. > :08:43.Thank you. Well, David Cameron is heading
:08:44. > :08:45.to Cumbria this afternoon. The government has already said it
:08:46. > :08:48.is preparing to offer extra support to help flood-hit communities
:08:49. > :08:50."get back on their feet". Let's speak to our assistant
:08:51. > :08:54.political editor, Norman Smith. These communities want answers
:08:55. > :08:57.about why this has happened again - despite money being spent
:08:58. > :09:08.on flood defences. And I think they will get a partial
:09:09. > :09:14.answer, in so far as Mr Cameron will promise more funds, particularly for
:09:15. > :09:19.businesses and local councils. Insurance companies will be urged to
:09:20. > :09:23.settle up quickly. There will be a review of UK wide flood defences to
:09:24. > :09:28.see how they might have coped with this extreme weather pattern. But I
:09:29. > :09:32.think that will be coupled with a fairly candid reflection, that there
:09:33. > :09:36.is a limit to what the government can do, faced with these
:09:37. > :09:40.unprecedented weather conditions. It cannot prevent all flooding. The
:09:41. > :09:44.view inside Number Ten is the existence flood defences, yes they
:09:45. > :09:53.were overwhelmed, but they did not do badly. They protected thousands
:09:54. > :09:58.of homes. They drained water into flood reservoirs, they bought more
:09:59. > :10:02.time to evacuated people. What happens is you get a sort of blame
:10:03. > :10:06.game at Westminster with politicians pointing the finger at government
:10:07. > :10:10.and others for not doing enough and not spending enough. That has not
:10:11. > :10:14.really happened. Yes, there have been calls for more money to be
:10:15. > :10:18.allocated, but I think there is a tacit recognition that the man and
:10:19. > :10:24.woman in Downing Street is not mightier than mother nature and
:10:25. > :10:28.there are limits to what the government can do. It can limit the
:10:29. > :10:33.effects of flooding but it cannot do away with it altogether. Thank you.
:10:34. > :10:36.The Association of British Insurers say a "small army" of claims teams
:10:37. > :10:38.have been set up to deal with the aftermath of the floods.
:10:39. > :10:41.Our personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz, is with me.
:10:42. > :10:48.The cost of it, can you put a figure on it at the moment? A very
:10:49. > :10:58.significant cost. It is probably not as much as the floods in Hull and
:10:59. > :11:03.the North of England in 2007 which cost ?3 billion, but it is expected
:11:04. > :11:12.to be into the hundreds of thousands. The police are suggesting
:11:13. > :11:16.as well that there are 5000 homes and the cost is probably about
:11:17. > :11:20.?20,000. It can take up to a year to dry out and people have to be
:11:21. > :11:24.accommodated in that time. A very significant cost. Above that, you
:11:25. > :11:28.will have businesses and cars damaged and that sort of thing. It
:11:29. > :11:37.will be a big test for assurers. They have been criticised in the
:11:38. > :11:40.past for being too slow to deal with it and wriggling out of paying on
:11:41. > :11:43.some claims. I have spoken to one of the bigger insurers just now. They
:11:44. > :11:47.say they have had dozens of people on site since Friday, before the
:11:48. > :11:51.worst of the rain arrived, trying to get it sorted out and they have been
:11:52. > :11:55.making emergency payments already. Thank you.
:11:56. > :11:57.A 29-year-old man's appeared in court charged with attempting to
:11:58. > :12:02.murder a passenger on the London Underground on Saturday night.
:12:03. > :12:05.He has been remanded in custody after a 56-year-old man
:12:06. > :12:06.suffered serious stab wounds at Leytonstone tube station.
:12:07. > :12:11.From Westminster Magistrates' court, Tom Symonds reports.
:12:12. > :12:18.Delivered to court in a police convoy. Inside this van is Muhaydin
:12:19. > :12:22.Mire. He has been in custody since his arrest on Saturday night. This
:12:23. > :12:29.short hearing was to decide what happens next. The incident at the
:12:30. > :12:34.busy Leytonstone tube station was filmed by several travellers. The
:12:35. > :12:39.police used a key is three times before Muhaydin Mire was taken into
:12:40. > :12:44.custody. Afterwards, a 56-year-old man, who has asked not to be
:12:45. > :12:49.identified, was taken to hospital with severe stab wounds. Muhaydin
:12:50. > :12:53.Mire appeared with a grey T-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms and
:12:54. > :12:58.wearing handcuffs. The judge asked for those handcuffs to be removed.
:12:59. > :13:03.The defendant confirmed his name, address and date of birth. He was
:13:04. > :13:07.told he faced a single charge, a charge of attempted murder, and the
:13:08. > :13:12.next stage in the case would be a hearing at the Old Bailey this
:13:13. > :13:18.Friday the 11th of December. The police investigation began with its
:13:19. > :13:21.focus on the tube station, closed for detailed forensic examinations.
:13:22. > :13:27.What appeared to be a sudden attack with a knife left trails of blood on
:13:28. > :13:31.the station floor. Forensics teams were also at a block of flats in
:13:32. > :13:38.Leytonstone. The defendant confirmed in court that he lived here.
:13:39. > :13:42.Prosecutors allege that this was an act of terrorism, but further

:14:03. > :14:14.Here's our Scotland Correspondent, Lorna Gordon.
:14:15. > :14:21.Is almost a year since a bin lorry crashed in the centre of Glasgow. It
:14:22. > :14:24.ran out of control for 19 seconds. There was little warning as it
:14:25. > :14:31.mounted a pavement, killing six people and injuring 13. Those who
:14:32. > :14:37.died wherein McQuade, Jack and Lorraine Sweeney, Jacqueline Morton,
:14:38. > :14:39.Stephanie Tate and Gillian Ewing. The fatal accident inquiry into
:14:40. > :14:44.their deaths made 19 recommendations. But the low on
:14:45. > :14:49.driving licences should be changed, increasing penalties for those who
:14:50. > :14:52.do not disclose their full medical history. There should be a
:14:53. > :14:57.consultation on whether doctors should have greater freedom to
:14:58. > :15:00.report fitness concerns to the DVLA. And Glasgow City Council should give
:15:01. > :15:04.basic training on steering and braking mechanisms to anybody
:15:05. > :15:07.working on their bin lorries. We will certainly make the changes to
:15:08. > :15:12.avoid anything like this happening in the future. A lot of these
:15:13. > :15:15.problems were caused by the driver not telling the truth. We will make
:15:16. > :15:21.the changes to our recruitment process and the National changes, we
:15:22. > :15:26.will implement those as well. The driver of the bin lorry, Harry
:15:27. > :15:29.Clarke, was seen slumped behind the wheel as the crash unfolded. The
:15:30. > :15:35.inquiry had heard he suffered blackouts before. The report found
:15:36. > :15:38.he deliberately misled doctors about his medical history, that he
:15:39. > :15:44.repeatedly lied in order to gain and retain jobs and licences. It stated
:15:45. > :15:47.it Harry Clarke had told the truth about his health, the accident might
:15:48. > :15:52.have been avoided. It is really important that where
:15:53. > :15:57.you have a self declaratory system, there is an appropriate deterrent,
:15:58. > :16:03.that people know if they lied to the DVLA are failed to report medical
:16:04. > :16:07.conditions, they will be prosecuted. The safety of people walking
:16:08. > :16:09.alongside roads like these is reliant to some extent on the
:16:10. > :16:14.honesty of drivers. This report highlights that doctors, drivers and
:16:15. > :16:16.the authorities may need to consider if that is enough.

:27:08. > :27:10.already under investigation by the Swiss authorities,
:27:11. > :27:13.following allegations of corruption, now the BBC can reveal that Blatter
:27:14. > :27:16.is also being investigated by the FBI for his role
:27:17. > :27:22.in a bribes scandal from the 1990s. A sports marketing company called

:27:28. > :27:31.including former Fifa President Joao Havelange and former
:27:32. > :27:35.Fifa Executive Ricardo Teixeira. In return, ISL was repeatedly
:27:36. > :27:39.awarded the contract to market the World Cup to advertisers
:27:40. > :27:43.and broadcasters around the world. Sepp Blatter denied knowing
:27:44. > :27:52.about the bribes and took no action, he even allowed Mr Teixeira to take
:27:53. > :27:55.part in the notorious vote You have to ask yourself,
:27:56. > :28:01.why did he seek to protect these people, and not just protect them,
:28:02. > :28:04.but allow them to continue to play an active role in some of Fifa's
:28:05. > :28:09.most important decisions? Now the Panorama programme has seen
:28:10. > :28:13.a letter obtained by the FBI, which suggests Sepp Blatter you
:28:14. > :28:17.about the bribe payments all along. The letter, apparently written
:28:18. > :28:19.by Joao Havelange, talks about It says,
:28:20. > :28:25."I emphasise that Mr Blatter had full knowledge of all activities
:28:26. > :28:30.and was always apprised of them". Blatter declined to comment
:28:31. > :28:33.on the letter. The FBI has already charged 39 Fifa

:29:02. > :29:06.but for many of us the damage has already been done. Devastating
:29:07. > :29:09.floods, as we have seen, across Cumbria and part of southern
:29:10. > :29:15.Scotland as well. A lot of floodwater still there. Courtesy of
:29:16. > :29:20.record-breaking rainfall. Yes, it has been the wettest 24 hours on
:29:21. > :29:27.record. Well over 300 millimetres. That is over a foot. We are talking
:29:28. > :29:32.about colossal amounts of water. The flood line number for those
:29:33. > :29:37.concerned, there it is. There were still several severe flood warnings
:29:38. > :29:40.in force. What about the forecast? Yes, there will be further rain but
:29:41. > :29:45.nothing like the extreme rainfall we have seen recently. There will be
:29:46. > :29:50.lengthy dry spells, which will help. We have got a dry spell across
:29:51. > :29:54.Cumbria. Still damp and parts of Scotland. Fairly inconsequential. A
:29:55. > :29:59.lot of dry, fine weather across the UK. We will not be far of record
:30:00. > :30:05.temperatures in some places this afternoon. Phenomenally high values
:30:06. > :30:09.for early December. 15 and 16 degrees in a few spots. More rain in
:30:10. > :30:15.Northern Ireland by the end of the afternoon. This weather front will
:30:16. > :30:19.bring a spell of rain. Ten to 20 millimetres. A few spots getting
:30:20. > :30:23.more than that. It will move through. It will not reach eastern
:30:24. > :30:29.England until the end of the night. Behind that, drier weather. A cold
:30:30. > :30:35.front will introduce fresh conditions through the course of
:30:36. > :30:41.Tuesday. A spell of rain. The sun will come out and we will have
:30:42. > :30:46.clusters of showers. Those showers will move through quite quickly. It
:30:47. > :30:50.will feel fresher. Cold enough for snow in the Highlands of Scotland.
:30:51. > :30:57.This afternoon, seven to 12 degrees, north to south. That is Tuesday.
:30:58. > :31:00.Then we turn to developments out in the Atlantic. A wriggling set of
:31:01. > :31:07.weather fronts heading in our direction. That means more wind and
:31:08. > :31:10.rain. Initially for a north-western part of the UK. Later on Wednesday,
:31:11. > :31:17.overnight, that will affect those flood prone areas, 40 millimetres of
:31:18. > :31:22.rain. That will move through. Dry conditions following on later on
:31:23. > :31:23.Thursday. A lot going on. We're the weather centre will keep a close eye
:31:24. > :31:26.on things. Now a reminder
:31:27. > :31:37.of our top story this lunchtime. The Prime Minister is travelling to
:31:38. > :31:41.Cumbria to see some of the areas worst hit back by the floods of the
:31:42. > :31:42.weekend. Thousands of homes are still without power.
