:01:29. > :01:31.drivers from idling their engines Good afternoon and welcome
:01:32. > :01:54.to the BBC News at One. The chancellor George Osborne has
:01:55. > :01:56.announced a ?50 million fund for families and businesses
:01:57. > :01:59.affected by the flooding He also announced a further
:02:00. > :02:05.?2 billion to be spent The announcement comes as people
:02:06. > :02:09.living in the flood-hit areas are bracing themselves
:02:10. > :02:23.for more heavy rain. This is a land defined by water, but
:02:24. > :02:30.this part of Cumbria has seen more than it would like in recent days.
:02:31. > :02:35.Although the consensus is that this has been the worst flooding that
:02:36. > :02:40.anyone can remember, many of these communities are prepared, and know
:02:41. > :02:44.exactly what to do. Even had the grandchildren working yesterday,
:02:45. > :02:51.because the school was closed. The local scaffolding firm turning up,
:02:52. > :02:57.that was four men. The royal oak sent somebody down. He worked we
:02:58. > :03:01.hard all morning. From Appleby, we are heading west to discover yet
:03:02. > :03:07.more shocking evidence of nature's strength. We were just driving along
:03:08. > :03:11.the banks of the river Eden and we came across this caravan park. Just
:03:12. > :03:16.have a look at the destruction which has been caused by the force of the
:03:17. > :03:23.water on the other side of the bank. Those mobile homes and caravans have
:03:24. > :03:26.been smashed together and smashed up against the trees, obviously,
:03:27. > :03:30.completely destroyed. There are gas bottles in the water and all sorts
:03:31. > :03:34.of to try to spread everywhere along the river bank. It is more akin to
:03:35. > :03:42.something you would see in Tornado while in the United States, not
:03:43. > :03:47.really Cumbria in the UK. This is Braithwaite near Keswick. Very few
:03:48. > :03:52.homes here were lucky to escape unscathed as the waters rose
:03:53. > :03:57.suddenly. They have removed hundreds of tonnes of material from this
:03:58. > :04:01.channel. Came down at ten o'clock yesterday morning to be met by a
:04:02. > :04:07.scene of utter devastation. I have never seen it before. Gobsmacked.
:04:08. > :04:13.This is Braithwaite and are really quite extraordinary scene. You can
:04:14. > :04:21.see the beck here. So much wood, so many trees have been washed down, it
:04:22. > :04:25.has created a damp. Look at the river level. It is above the road.
:04:26. > :04:30.That forced the water to take its own course through the village,
:04:31. > :04:35.causing devastation and flooding many, many properties here. Around
:04:36. > :04:39.every corner it seems, there is an insurance assessor dealing with the
:04:40. > :04:46.damage. The path of destruction is so widespread. That has been the big
:04:47. > :04:50.difference this time. In the 2009 floods in Cockermouth, Keswick and
:04:51. > :04:54.Workington, it was those three towns which were affected. We were able to
:04:55. > :04:58.pull in from all over the north of England. This time, because a mini
:04:59. > :05:08.places have been hit in Cumbria, we have had to pull in people from all
:05:09. > :05:14.over the UK. Many fought hard in a vain attempt. We thought we were
:05:15. > :05:18.coping and then the bridge rope and it came onto the main bridge and
:05:19. > :05:22.there was a tidal wave of water which came and everybody had to run
:05:23. > :05:29.and get into the houses and get barricaded in. Never experienced
:05:30. > :05:33.anything like that before. Continuing west on our journey
:05:34. > :05:35.through the lake district, you are reminded that an area so beautiful
:05:36. > :05:47.can also be so cruel. This lunchtime, the Chancellor gave
:05:48. > :05:54.details about the money that will be made available for flood victims and
:05:55. > :06:00.flood defences. On recovery, the question she asks about, I can today
:06:01. > :06:07.announced a 50 mil in pound fund for families and businesses affected in
:06:08. > :06:11.the area this will be administrated by the local authorities. When it
:06:12. > :06:14.comes to rebuilding the infrastructure of Cumbria and
:06:15. > :06:18.Lancashire, we are assessing now the damage to the flood defences and
:06:19. > :06:21.damage to the roads and funds will be made available. One of the
:06:22. > :06:28.benefits of having a strong and resilient economy is we can help
:06:29. > :06:32.people in need. Chancellor George Osborne. Fiona
:06:33. > :06:38.Trott is in Carlisle. It will take a long time for people to recover from
:06:39. > :06:41.what happened at the weekend? That is right. Welcome to Carlisle
:06:42. > :06:48.United. It could take six weeks before they could begin playing
:06:49. > :06:52.football here again. Players have been helping with the clear up
:06:53. > :06:56.effort. Residents have returned the favour. They have been here trying
:06:57. > :07:01.to get things back to normal. Wherever you turn, whether it is
:07:02. > :07:05.businesses or homes, everybody is working very hard. That announcement
:07:06. > :07:10.will try and make a difference. Up to eight millimetres of rain, three
:07:11. > :07:13.inches, is expected across the north-west of England today. People
:07:14. > :07:20.are saying it is the last thing they need when they are trying to carry
:07:21. > :07:23.on with this clean-up operation. Thank you.
:07:24. > :07:26.Police in Paris have identified a third man who attacked
:07:27. > :07:28.the Bataclan theatre last month killing 90 people.
:07:29. > :07:29.French media have named the 23-year-old from Strasbourg
:07:30. > :07:33.He is said to have travelled to Syria to fight in 2013 along
:07:34. > :07:40.Well, with me is our security correspondent Gordon Corera.
:07:41. > :07:48.What more do we know about him? He appears to have been identified
:07:49. > :07:53.after his mother received a text, apparently from IS, the group behind
:07:54. > :07:58.the attacks, after the attack in Paris, saying her son had become a
:07:59. > :08:04.martyr. She then contacted the police. They took DNA samples and it
:08:05. > :08:08.led to his identification. He was a 23 rolled from the Strasbourg area.
:08:09. > :08:12.He had gone with a group out to Syria. Some of them came back,
:08:13. > :08:14.including his brother, and they were put under arrest. He stayed out
:08:15. > :08:29.there and he carried out this attack.
:08:30. > :08:31.Almost all of the attackers who have been identified, a few are still
:08:32. > :08:33.unidentified, have been French citizens. It looks like this was the
:08:34. > :08:36.model for the attack, take people from France or Belgium and then send
:08:37. > :08:39.them back to carry out this devastating attack. Thank you.
:08:40. > :08:42.Fuel prices could fall to below a pound a litre before Christmas,
:08:43. > :08:46.It says the average price of petrol is expected to drop
:08:47. > :08:53.It comes as the oil price fell to less than 40 dollars a barrel
:08:54. > :08:55.for the first time in almost seven years.
:08:56. > :08:58.Our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports.
:08:59. > :09:04.Rigs like the Everest platform in the North Sea don't make as much
:09:05. > :09:08.money as they used to. At sea and on land, the world is drilling more
:09:09. > :09:17.than a million barrels a day than it needs. That has led to a glut with
:09:18. > :09:20.almost 3 billion barrels stocked up. This is driving the price of petrol
:09:21. > :09:23.down. We have the Opec oil-producing countries saying they don't intend
:09:24. > :09:26.to cut production. There is lower demand in countries like China who
:09:27. > :09:30.are taking a large amount of fuel and now we also have Saudi Arabia
:09:31. > :09:33.refining petrol and diesel. It is really flooding the market and
:09:34. > :09:38.motorists are benefiting with cheaper prices at the pump. That is
:09:39. > :09:48.good news. It should be a bit cheaper than that, I think. Being a
:09:49. > :09:51.minicab driver, it makes a big difference. It is about time. I
:09:52. > :09:55.cannot remember when it was a pound. It will be a good Christmas present.
:09:56. > :09:59.Petrol prices going down to a pound a litre might seem like good news
:10:00. > :10:02.for motorists but it is also a sign of something else. The world is not
:10:03. > :10:08.just producing more oil than it needs, it is also burning less than
:10:09. > :10:12.it needs to because of a global economic slowdown.
:10:13. > :10:15.And it is not just oil. For years, China sucked in commodities like
:10:16. > :10:20.iron ore for its booming construction industry. Because that
:10:21. > :10:25.has slowed down, China is using less deal because it is buying less.
:10:26. > :10:31.Prices have collapsed. That is devastating mining companies and
:10:32. > :10:36.steel producers. Prices are likely to go on falling. My view is the
:10:37. > :10:40.Chinese economic underperformance is likely to continue for a while. In
:10:41. > :10:45.that environment, I would expect commodity prices to continue to
:10:46. > :10:49.decline. While that economic gloom may lie behind the cheaper prices,
:10:50. > :10:54.you will not see many motorists lamenting it. The average price of
:10:55. > :10:57.unleaded is not as cheap as it was in February after the first big drop
:10:58. > :11:06.in oil prices, but it is heading that way.

:26:50. > :26:55.remove him from this list. That is right. Tyson Fury is one of the last

:26:59. > :27:02.Richard said the fact he has been stripped of his belt has nothing to

:27:13. > :27:17.rematch with Wladimir Klitschko. But in the meantime pressure does grow
:27:18. > :27:21.on Tyson Fury and the BBC. Unconfirmed reports said today that

:27:32. > :27:35.calling for his removal and the police are investigating allegations
:27:36. > :27:38.of hate crimes against the boxer. It is because of comments he made when

:27:43. > :27:46.things that had to happen along with abortion and paedophilia before the
:27:47. > :27:50.Devil came home. He also commented on women sang a woman's place was in

:27:55. > :27:57.he does not hate anyone and is not homophobic but there is still
:27:58. > :28:00.growing pressure on the BBC. The BBC's stance is that his nomination
:28:01. > :28:04.is a recognition of sporting achievement, not an endorsement of
:28:05. > :28:08.his beliefs. But next week the director-general of the BBC Tony
:28:09. > :28:12.Hall is set to appear before the Commons Culture Select Committee and
:28:13. > :28:13.is sure to face growing pressure about this and pressure for a

:28:49. > :28:52.across the UK. Southern areas have high pressure and low pressure
:28:53. > :28:57.towards the north-west. So here it is windy, they'll force wind as we
:28:58. > :29:02.had through the afternoon. Outbreaks of rain which become heavy as well.
:29:03. > :29:09.Notice those gas in the north-west. Up to 70 miles an hour. Blustery
:29:10. > :29:11.even further south, the rain starting to push into south-west
:29:12. > :29:15.Scotland and Cumbria in the afternoon. For much of England and
:29:16. > :29:20.Wales should be dry with bright and sunny spells continuing. Feeling

:29:34. > :29:36.south and east this evening and overnight, quite heavy and
:29:37. > :29:41.persistent for Cumbria and parts of Scotland. Up to 40 millimetres of
:29:42. > :29:46.rain. That could cause some impact but nowhere near the impact we had
:29:47. > :29:49.over the weekend. And very windy as well with Gail. Heavy rain also

:29:58. > :29:59.behind the weather front for Scotland and Northern Ireland
:30:00. > :30:04.overnight, potentially some pockets of frost across the Glens. To the
:30:05. > :30:09.south double figures so mild night. Into Thursday we see the rain band
:30:10. > :30:13.thinking south. Generally a line from Lincolnshire to the south-east,

:30:34. > :30:39.Southern counties remaining quite grey and cloudy. Into the weekend,
:30:40. > :30:43.after a chilly start, things turn milder and we see another weather
