:00:11. > :00:15.For the first time the top job at the Bank of England gos to a banker

:00:15. > :00:21.from overseas. A surprise choice by the Chancellor. Canadian Mark

:00:21. > :00:25.Carney will run the bank for the next five years. He is quite simply

:00:25. > :00:29.the best, most experienced and most qualified person in the world to be

:00:29. > :00:33.the next Governor of the Bank of England. Mr Carney will be in

:00:33. > :00:38.charge at a crucial time for the British economy. This is a major

:00:38. > :00:43.challenge. It's a major opportunity. It is a very important for the

:00:43. > :00:47.global economy that the UK does well. Also tonight - the latest in

:00:47. > :00:52.the severe weather as it heads towards the north-east of England.

:00:52. > :00:56.There's an old man... Stranded as the waters rose around him - the

:00:56. > :01:01.pensioner rescued by a brave father and son team. A warning from

:01:01. > :01:06.insurance companies over cover in flood-affected areas. There is yet

:01:06. > :01:10.more torrential rain forecast. Pretty worried. It does not look

:01:10. > :01:18.like it's getting any better. Syria's refugee crisis and the

:01:18. > :01:23.children who have lost their homes as the winter freeze approaches.

:01:23. > :01:30.50 years on, and it is still satisfaction guaranteed - the

:01:55. > :02:00.chanting during yesterday's match Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's

:02:00. > :02:06.News at Six. For the first time in its 300 year history, the Bank of

:02:06. > :02:10.England has looked outside Britain to recruit its -- recruit its

:02:10. > :02:13.governor. Mark Carney will take over next year at what is likely to

:02:13. > :02:17.be a crucial time for Britain's economy. Announcing the surprise

:02:17. > :02:27.appointment, the Chancellor, George Osborne, said Mr Carney was the

:02:27. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:31.most qualified person in the world to do the job. Carney will be the

:02:31. > :02:35.next Governor of the Bank of England. The Chancellor's choice

:02:35. > :02:39.came as a surprise to nearly everybody. It seems to have been a

:02:39. > :02:43.pleasant one. He is quite simply the best, most experienced and

:02:43. > :02:47.qualified person in the world to be the next Governor of the Bank of

:02:47. > :02:53.England and to help steer Britain's families and businesses through

:02:53. > :02:57.these difficult economic times. once his opposite number, Ed Balls,

:02:57. > :03:01.agreed. We on this side of the House look forward to working

:03:01. > :03:03.closely with him in the coming months and years, Mr Speaker. I

:03:03. > :03:07.have known Mark Carney for a number of years and have worked with him

:03:07. > :03:11.closely. He has a long and distinguished record of public

:03:11. > :03:16.service. You might not have heard of him before, but he does have a

:03:16. > :03:21.lot of useful experience. For starters, he's been the governor of

:03:21. > :03:25.a central bank already - the Bank of Canada. He chairs the Financial

:03:25. > :03:30.Stability Board. The global policy group which is supposed to prevent

:03:30. > :03:34.future bank crisis. He will be the first foreign nation to -- national

:03:34. > :03:44.to serve in this job. He said he was not as foreign as all that.

:03:44. > :03:48.at not without ties to the United Kingdom. My wife is a British and

:03:48. > :03:52.Canadian national. I have lived here a decade. I know a lot of

:03:52. > :03:56.people in industry in the UK. again, when you think about the

:03:56. > :04:02.mess that Britain and its banks got into with Brits in charge at the

:04:02. > :04:07.bank, you can see why Mr Osborne might look abroad. Canada had no

:04:07. > :04:10.banking crisis, no bail outs and a much shallower recession than

:04:10. > :04:16.either Britain or America. Clearly you want somebody who can think

:04:16. > :04:23.outside the box. He has shown he can do that and clearly, I suspect

:04:23. > :04:28.the conversation when Osborne was interviewing him z was, are you

:04:28. > :04:34.flexible? Will you help to get lending to small firms? We don't

:04:34. > :04:39.want to be legislators... This is the man the City expected to get

:04:39. > :04:43.the job, Paul Tucker. He has been a senior policy maker for a decade.

:04:43. > :04:47.He has plenty of experience, but apparently the wrong sort. The

:04:47. > :04:51.Chancellor has gone for an outsideer, who will be the youngest

:04:51. > :04:56.Bank of England governor anyone can remember. The next Governor of the

:04:56. > :05:01.Bank of England was supposed to serve an eight-year time, Mr Carney

:05:01. > :05:05.will serve five. The job has got bigger. As well as chairing the

:05:05. > :05:09.committee which sets interest rates, he and his colleagues will have new

:05:09. > :05:13.powers to regulate Britain's banks. If he is so well qualified for the

:05:13. > :05:18.job, you might wonder why no-one thought of him before. In fact Mark

:05:18. > :05:22.Carney's name was mentioned back in the spring. But he said flatly he

:05:22. > :05:26.didn't want it. Apparently he has changed his mind. Let's hope he

:05:27. > :05:31.doesn't change it back again when he gets a closer look. Let's go

:05:31. > :05:36.live now to the Treasury and join our business editor. George Osborne

:05:36. > :05:42.says he's the best in the world. What he's got, Mark Carney, that

:05:42. > :05:48.no-one in Britain has apparently not? I have just been chatting to

:05:48. > :05:52.George Osborne and he's behaving like the owner of a football club,

:05:52. > :05:56.who has got the manager he has set his heart on. He approached Mr

:05:56. > :06:00.Carney in February. Mr Carney turned him down first time around.

:06:01. > :06:10.A couple of months ago, he tried him again. This time he has got his

:06:10. > :06:15.man. The reason that George Osborne likes him is because Canada is

:06:15. > :06:18.perceived to have come through than Britain and is in better shape.

:06:18. > :06:23.Mark Carney is perceived to have played an important role in

:06:23. > :06:26.maintaining the stability of the Canadian banking system and the

:06:26. > :06:32.Canadian economy. However, although Mr Osborne is desperately pleased

:06:32. > :06:36.to have got this chap, you is to say that the British economy is in

:06:36. > :06:40.somewhat worse shape than Canada's economy and our banking system is

:06:40. > :06:44.in something of a mess. What's more, Mr Carney is inheriting a Bank of

:06:44. > :06:49.England that is getting important new powers, the management

:06:49. > :06:54.challenge for Mr Carney is going to be significantly greater than any

:06:54. > :06:59.challenge he's faced to date. In a sense, you can see the UK as middle

:06:59. > :07:03.to bottom of the table. Appointing an expensive new manager. Will Mr

:07:03. > :07:09.Osborne, in a year or two's time, be so pleased with his appointment?

:07:09. > :07:14.We'll have to wait and see. Thank you. Now to the severe weather

:07:14. > :07:20.sweeping across the country. After leaving a trail of destruction in

:07:20. > :07:24.the south-west, forecasters say torrential rainfall could lead to

:07:24. > :07:28.flooding in Teesside and County Durham. One in five has been

:07:29. > :07:34.delayed. Hundreds of homes have been flooded. Safety warnings on

:07:34. > :07:38.hundreds of A roads. After days of rainfall in some areas, these are

:07:38. > :07:44.the sort of conditions that millions of people woke up to this

:07:44. > :07:48.morning. Some vehicles didn't get through though. This passenger had

:07:48. > :07:54.to be rescued from a car which became marooned after coming to a

:07:54. > :07:57.standstill. Further north, tuex bury, so often

:07:57. > :08:02.left under floodwater in the past was once again hit. The River

:08:02. > :08:09.Severn has been overwhelmed. Mile after mile, there was ever of

:08:09. > :08:11.damage where it and other rivers have burst their banks. Over the

:08:11. > :08:16.border into Wales there were problems, especially in the north,

:08:16. > :08:20.with roads closed and travel disrupted. While in many areas it

:08:21. > :08:25.was about assessing the damage, in northern England the rain was

:08:25. > :08:28.causing new problems. Emergency services were called to the

:08:28. > :08:32.Friarage Hospital in Northallerton to stop a stream which runs under

:08:32. > :08:36.the building from flooding wards and operating theatres.

:08:36. > :08:41.Firefighters said they had to give this job priority over rescuing

:08:41. > :08:47.cars stranded in water. We have been very busy over this weekend,

:08:47. > :08:51.pulling people out of floodwater because people are driving into it.

:08:51. > :08:56.We would say, do people need to make those journeys. Talking to

:08:56. > :09:01.local people here, this is unprecedented for the last 20 years.

:09:01. > :09:11.Another 24 hours of rain has overwhelmed this small bebgand the

:09:11. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:16.forecast now is for stream and the forecast is now for more rain. The

:09:16. > :09:20.problem here, in Yorkshire, is how bad it will get. This home has been

:09:20. > :09:24.warned about the rising waters. Pretty worried. It doesn't look

:09:24. > :09:27.like it's getting any better. We will see what it brings.

:09:27. > :09:30.Environment Agency say they are hopeful that main flood defences

:09:30. > :09:34.will hold and homes will be protected.

:09:34. > :09:44.With more rain falling, and no capacity for the ground to soak it

:09:44. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:51.up, the next 24 hours are bound to As the cleanup gets under way,

:09:51. > :09:54.insurance companies warn up to 200,000 homeowners could find it

:09:54. > :09:58.difficult to cover their homes next year. They say talks with the

:09:58. > :10:04.Government on how to afford affordable premiums have reached

:10:04. > :10:08.crisis point. Jon Kay looks at the row over insurance claims.

:10:08. > :10:13.You can measure the damage here on the doorsteps.

:10:13. > :10:19.And by the bins, filling up with ruined food. In the village of

:10:19. > :10:24.Kennford, near Exeter, more than 30 properties were flooded. That's the

:10:24. > :10:28.level of the water which came in. The Parrys now have a plimsoll line

:10:28. > :10:33.running through the ground floor of their cottage.

:10:33. > :10:38.Everything below it has been ruined. That's my little job today, trying

:10:38. > :10:44.to wash all that. They hope their insurance will cover all the damage

:10:44. > :10:53.this time. But what if it happens again? It's a worry, isn't it? It

:10:53. > :10:58.is a worry. You know, one does need insurance. For the last few years,

:10:58. > :11:02.there's been an agreement in place between the Government and the

:11:02. > :11:06.insurance industry. Basically companies have been obliged to

:11:06. > :11:10.provide cover for existing policyholders, even if they live in

:11:10. > :11:16.a flood-prone area. That agreement runs out next summer. And talks

:11:16. > :11:20.about how to replace it are said to be in a mess.

:11:20. > :11:26.The insurance industry says it has offered ministers a solution and if

:11:26. > :11:30.it is not accepted, it claims 200,000 homes could lose their

:11:30. > :11:34.cover. There is no other proposition on the table which we

:11:34. > :11:39.think is workable or achievable. We very much hope that the Government

:11:39. > :11:43.will continue to discuss our proposal, which is carefully worked

:11:43. > :11:48.out. Visiting Devon, the Environment Secretary said any deal

:11:48. > :11:52.with insurers would have to be fair, both for policyholders and the

:11:52. > :11:56.wider public. We would like to see an arrangement

:11:56. > :12:02.which is affordable, as comprehensive as possible and does

:12:02. > :12:07.not put any great burden on the British taxpayer. As this village

:12:07. > :12:13.clears up, they hope an agreement can be reached to protect them in

:12:13. > :12:20.the future. While the talking continues, here there is work to be

:12:20. > :12:25.done. So, are this month's downpours any

:12:25. > :12:31.heavier than usual? Why isn't Britain better defended against

:12:31. > :12:34.flooding? We look at the figures behind the recent rainfall.

:12:34. > :12:39.Torrential rain. It is beginning to feel normal.

:12:39. > :12:44.So, in turn for many of us floods are becoming a fact of life. Since

:12:44. > :12:48.last week, much of the country has been struggling as water levels

:12:48. > :12:51.have been rising. It's been absolutely awful. We have been

:12:51. > :12:56.drenched. We live down and the river has come all the way up the

:12:56. > :13:00.garden. It has been raining all day and night. It is not great weather.

:13:00. > :13:07.It is really bad. This is my first time in the UK. I have been hearing

:13:07. > :13:12.about it. I am experiencing it now. They call it the Bath Road. The

:13:12. > :13:17.only thing missing is soap. On this island flooding is nothing new.

:13:17. > :13:21.1939 - a vintage year. 1963, another one to remember.

:13:21. > :13:25.This is Tonbridge, in Kent, underwater.

:13:25. > :13:33.Hard to believe that this November has not been especially wet. The

:13:33. > :13:38.average rainfall for the month is 160mms. When 216mms fell in 2009,

:13:38. > :13:44.it became officially the wettest November on record. This year, we

:13:44. > :13:49.had 43mms in the first three weeks of the month, not even close to

:13:49. > :13:52.record-breaking pace. It is not that unusual to see consistent low

:13:52. > :13:56.pressure coming off the Atlantic at this time of year, all bringing

:13:56. > :14:02.large amounts of rainfall. We are expecting, over the coming years,

:14:02. > :14:06.is we will see these events more frequently. All of this flooding is

:14:06. > :14:10.the result, not just of the torrential rain we've had, but the

:14:10. > :14:16.fact that rain has fallen on ground which was already saturated.

:14:16. > :14:20.Remember, this summer was the wet e on record for 100 years.

:14:20. > :14:24.-- wettest on record for 100 years. The drainage system is overloaded.

:14:24. > :14:29.It will run off into the rivers. We have seen surface flooding on the

:14:29. > :14:33.roads to start with. That impacts on to the rivers. As soon as we go

:14:34. > :14:38.through the winter the soil will not dry out. It will be cold.

:14:38. > :14:41.There'll be little evapration. We'll have to keep a close eye on

:14:41. > :14:51.things. The Government says the millions invested in flood defences

:14:51. > :14:51.

:14:51. > :15:01.have saved thousands of homes from You can find out more on the

:15:01. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:09.Our top story tonight. The Bank of England's next governor will be

:15:09. > :15:19.Canadian Mark Carney. The first time the job has gone to a banker

:15:19. > :15:26.from overseas. Coming up: A resounding win for England in the

:15:26. > :15:31.Second Test against India. Later, more on the key talks taking place

:15:31. > :15:41.on whether Greece can get the next chunk its bail out money and UBS

:15:46. > :15:50.bombed a village close to the Turkish border, sending hundreds of

:15:50. > :15:54.panicked civilians running for safety. Their target was a building

:15:54. > :15:59.used by rebels. The shells landed close to a refugee camp one-and-a-

:15:59. > :16:04.half miles from the Turkish border. Where round 12,000 people are

:16:04. > :16:12.living in poor conditions. From Atma camp our world affairs

:16:12. > :16:22.correspondent sent this report. Atma camp. For 12,000 people this

:16:22. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:27.is as far away from the war as they can get. It is wet, and cold, even

:16:27. > :16:34.before the winter has really set in, and unsanitary. Sewage mixes with

:16:34. > :16:40.mud after it rains. For some, a temporary home has become permanent.

:16:40. > :16:44.They are stuck. This place sprang up overnight, when people fleeing

:16:49. > :16:53.-- Turkey. The war in Syria is grinding on and in a typical week

:16:53. > :17:02.1,000 people are killed. So many more families are making the same

:17:02. > :17:08.journey, only to end up here. Northern Syria has seen some of the

:17:08. > :17:18.worst atrocities of the war. They have come through a terrible ordeal

:17:18. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:26.to reach Atma. In this group of tents ewe found survivors. 110

:19:04. > :19:08.a series of explosions. It is two month since the many allegations

:19:08. > :19:12.surrounding Jimmy Savile came to light, but only no now is the

:19:12. > :19:16.Health Service setting up inquiries into the alleged abuse ta took

:19:16. > :19:19.place on NHS premises. Charities are talking for greater

:19:19. > :19:27.transparency and urgency. Here is our health correspondent with the

:19:27. > :19:29.details. NHS hospitals where Jimmy Savile volunteered and raised money

:19:29. > :19:33.Leeds general infirm rirbgs Stoke Mandeville and Broadmoor. Two

:19:33. > :19:40.months after allegations of abuse were published, there is little

:19:40. > :19:43.detail on what the NHS is doing to look into it. Jimmy Savile was

:19:44. > :19:47.given extraordinary access at three hospitals, including Stoke

:19:47. > :19:52.Mandeville, the police are looking into the criminal allegations, but

:19:52. > :19:57.what exactly is the NHS doing, to find out how it was allowed to

:19:57. > :20:03.happen, and whether concerns were raised? One former patient at

:20:03. > :20:06.Broadmoor who alleges he was sexually assaulted said there are

:20:06. > :20:13.many unanswered questions. individually decided to give him

:20:13. > :20:18.the keys? Why? What did they think he could do, other than raise the

:20:19. > :20:24.profile of Broadmoor? Why was he given the amount of freedom to roam

:20:24. > :20:29.as he did with the keys unescorted once he got them? The NHS has

:20:29. > :20:31.announced four separate inquiry, which will all be overseen by a

:20:31. > :20:36.former barrister. At Stoke Mandeville the head of the inquiry

:20:36. > :20:39.panel has just been named. Broadmoor is expected to make a

:20:39. > :20:45.similar announcement this week. Leeds has yet to decide who will

:20:45. > :20:49.lead the inquiry, and the Department of Health has a further

:20:49. > :20:52.intern alinquiry. The Government says the allegations about Jimmy

:20:52. > :20:57.Savile in the NHS are appalling, and it is determined to get to the

:20:57. > :21:03.bottom of them, but a coalition of 130 health and care charities is

:21:03. > :21:07.calling for much greater urgency. These appear to be internal inquiry,

:21:07. > :21:10.we don't know the peoples of the people who are going to conduct

:21:10. > :21:14.them what the terms of reference are, how long they are going to

:21:14. > :21:17.take, we want that out in the public domain so the public can be

:21:17. > :21:22.involved and can judge. That is really important for accountability

:21:22. > :21:27.of the NHS. No minister has been available to be interviewed about

:21:27. > :21:33.the NHS investigations, but the Department of Health says it will

:21:33. > :21:39.publish more details soon. Rotherham council which took three

:21:39. > :21:43.Foster children away from a couple because they are members of the UK

:21:43. > :21:48.independence part party say they will be open in the inquiry ordered

:21:54. > :21:59.satisfy the critics? Well, George, the council leader demanded this

:21:59. > :22:02.report, to be on his desk for 9am this morning. It arrived and he

:22:02. > :22:07.considered it for round several hours, then came a statement. He

:22:07. > :22:11.said that being a member of UKIP should not stop anyone from

:22:11. > :22:13.becoming a Foster parent. He went on to say he will work with the

:22:14. > :22:19.Education Secretary as he investigates what happened here.

:22:19. > :22:24.But so far, no-one has been health accountable, and this has

:22:24. > :22:28.disappointed some. The leader of UKIP says he feels like it's a can

:22:28. > :22:34.being kicked dound the road. We have fleerd the Foster parent, they

:22:34. > :22:38.say they are disappointed no-one has apologised to them. In cricket

:22:42. > :22:47.Monty Panesar took six wicket, as England bowled out the hosts for

:22:53. > :22:58.sports correspondent reports. The England traveller in India. A

:22:58. > :23:03.patient breed. Test Match wins are separated by decades. Now eEngland

:23:03. > :23:07.have Cook and the right ingredients. It is rare for India to be outdone.

:23:07. > :23:14.Shocking to be outpin. England finished off the second innings,

:23:14. > :23:23.conditions were me paired to suit India's spin bowler, but it played

:23:23. > :23:31.into the hands of England. Swann and Panesar. Matt Prior caught the

:23:31. > :23:35.ball. Monty Panesar 45 his sixth wicket of the innings. India were

:23:35. > :23:39.14 2-2 out. England's spinners took 19 wickets between them in the

:23:39. > :23:45.match. They had beaten India at their own game. Now England just

:23:45. > :23:51.had to score 57 to win. Compton in only his second Test Match led the

:23:51. > :23:55.way. No time for nevers. Monday's victory was set up by Alastair

:23:56. > :23:59.Cook's batting at the weekend and Man of the Match Kevin Pietersen's

:23:59. > :24:06.sparkling revival. The series is 1- 1 with two Test Matches to come.

:24:06. > :24:10.Suddenly England can't wait for the next one. Now they have got a

:24:10. > :24:16.combined age of 273 and first played together in a small London

:24:16. > :24:19.club 50 years ago. Last night, fans paid as much as �1,000 see a piece

:24:49. > :24:54.am the same age at Mick Jagger. Hey, I haven't seen him since 1962, so a

:24:54. > :24:59.long time and he rocks. Totally rocks. I don't know what it cost.

:24:59. > :25:03.My husband bought the ticket. It is worth it for me. So it was thumbs

:25:03. > :25:08.up from the public and from the critic, who seemed tone joy their

:25:08. > :25:12.night out. It was a extraordinary gig, I felt. It is not just that

:25:12. > :25:17.you were getting 50 years music thrown at you. The band seemed to

:25:17. > :25:23.really be enjoying playing, and it was much less the bells and

:25:23. > :25:33.whistles you get at a big stadium gig. The arena is a small gig for

:25:33. > :25:35.

:25:35. > :25:39.the Rolling Stoness. The music was fantastic. Back in their heyday the

:25:39. > :25:43.stones were the epitome of youth culture. Rebellious and independent.

:25:43. > :25:53.That they kept the show on the road for half a century is astonishing.

:25:53. > :25:56.

:25:56. > :26:03.Even to them. Nobody expected anything like this. I mean, it was,

:26:03. > :26:06.especially in those days, a band, it was lucky to live two or three

:26:06. > :26:12.years, and you hoped for a good time, and that was there, -- that

:26:12. > :26:16.you know. There is more to the Rolling Stones than being the self-

:26:16. > :26:19.styled rock 'n' roll back in the world. They are the greatest rock

:26:19. > :26:24.'n' roll brand, possibly in the world. A brand people will pay a

:26:24. > :26:31.lot to be associated with. You could buy this version of their

:26:31. > :26:34.logo, for �50,000. For the Stones it has been a case of mixing show

:26:34. > :26:44.with business. It is probably one of the factors that has kept them

:26:45. > :26:49.playing this song for 47 years. # Hey, you, get off my cloud #

:26:49. > :26:53.With last night's good review and a public willing to spend up to

:26:53. > :27:01.�1,000 a ticket, you can expect to hear more from these veteran

:27:01. > :27:05.entertainers. Now for the latest on entertainers. Now for the latest on

:27:05. > :27:09.the weather let us go to Jon. For many of us the impact will last a

:27:09. > :27:13.lot longer than it stopping raining. It is still raining across a good

:27:13. > :27:17.part of northern England, down into North Wales. This is the main focus

:27:17. > :27:22.of concern. The 20 or 30 millimetres of rain, that rain

:27:22. > :27:27.running down from the Pennines, the Cheviots, North York Moors,

:27:27. > :27:32.Snowdonia, hence the amber warning. Major concerns, big impacts likely

:27:32. > :27:36.here and some snow on the highest ground. Now, it is not dry

:27:36. > :27:40.elsewhere. There are some big clumps of rain drifting down

:27:40. > :27:45.through parts of Wales, that is not good news for this part of the

:27:45. > :27:48.world. Some showers dotting round elsewhere. Many heavy. It will be

:27:48. > :27:52.mostly dry for parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. A touch of

:27:52. > :27:55.frost round. Cold feeling everywhere, with a blustery wind

:27:55. > :27:58.kicking in. That will be a key feature of the weather as we go

:27:58. > :28:02.through tomorrow. The good news is that we will have lost the rain,

:28:02. > :28:06.yes, there will be some showers and some of them sharp, but they will

:28:06. > :28:10.move through quickly on the breeze, with lengthy dry spells in between.

:28:10. > :28:15.So mid afternoon in Scotland, plenty of dry, bright weather in

:28:15. > :28:20.the south and west. Wintry showers in the Highlands. Mostly dry across

:28:20. > :28:24.Northern Ireland, thankfully it will be a lot drier in northern

:28:24. > :28:27.England, North Wales. Still some showers in North Sea coasts. One or

:28:27. > :28:31.two getting down through heart of England, but a lot of dry and

:28:31. > :28:36.bright weather in South Wales and the West Country. A good chance to

:28:36. > :28:40.clear thu things up. Through the rest of the week, that is the theme,

:28:40. > :28:44.colder but drier as well. Cold certainly, even in the sunshine,

:28:45. > :28:47.temperatures really struggling, a few showers, wintry showers,
