charge at a crucial time for the British economy. This is a major

:00:33.:00:38.

challenge. It's a major opportunity. It is a very important for the

:00:38.:00:43.

global economy that the UK does well. Also tonight - the latest in

insurance companies over cover in flood-affected areas. There is yet

more torrential rain forecast. Pretty worried. It does not look

:01:06.:01:10.

like it's getting any better. Syria's refugee crisis and the

chanting during yesterday's match Good evening. Welcome to the BBC's

:01:55.:02:00.

News at Six. For the first time in its 300 year history, the Bank of

:02:00.:02:06.

England has looked outside Britain to recruit its -- recruit its

:02:06.:02:10.

governor. Mark Carney will take over next year at what is likely to

:02:10.:02:13.

be a crucial time for Britain's economy. Announcing the surprise

:02:13.:02:17.

appointment, the Chancellor, George Osborne, said Mr Carney was the

:02:17.:02:27.
:02:27.:02:29.

most qualified person in the world to do the job. Carney will be the

:02:29.:02:31.

next Governor of the Bank of England. The Chancellor's choice

:02:31.:02:35.

came as a surprise to nearly everybody. It seems to have been a

:02:35.:02:39.

pleasant one. He is quite simply the best, most experienced and

:02:39.:02:43.

qualified person in the world to be the next Governor of the Bank of

:02:43.:02:47.

England and to help steer Britain's families and businesses through

:02:47.:02:53.

these difficult economic times. once his opposite number, Ed Balls,

:02:53.:02:57.

agreed. We on this side of the House look forward to working

:02:57.:03:01.

closely with him in the coming months and years, Mr Speaker. I

:03:01.:03:03.

have known Mark Carney for a number of years and have worked with him

:03:03.:03:07.

closely. He has a long and distinguished record of public

:03:07.:03:11.

service. You might not have heard of him before, but he does have a

:03:11.:03:16.

lot of useful experience. For starters, he's been the governor of

:03:16.:03:21.

a central bank already - the Bank of Canada. He chairs the Financial

:03:21.:03:25.

Stability Board. The global policy group which is supposed to prevent

:03:25.:03:30.

future bank crisis. He will be the first foreign nation to -- national

:03:30.:03:34.

to serve in this job. He said he was not as foreign as all that.

:03:34.:03:44.

at not without ties to the United Kingdom. My wife is a British and

:03:44.:03:48.

Canadian national. I have lived here a decade. I know a lot of

:03:48.:03:52.

people in industry in the UK. again, when you think about the

:03:52.:03:56.

mess that Britain and its banks got into with Brits in charge at the

:03:56.:04:02.

bank, you can see why Mr Osborne might look abroad. Canada had no

:04:02.:04:07.

banking crisis, no bail outs and a much shallower recession than

:04:07.:04:10.

either Britain or America. Clearly you want somebody who can think

:04:10.:04:16.

outside the box. He has shown he can do that and clearly, I suspect

:04:16.:04:23.

the conversation when Osborne was interviewing him z was, are you

:04:23.:04:28.

flexible? Will you help to get lending to small firms? We don't

:04:28.:04:34.

want to be legislators... This is the man the City expected to get

:04:34.:04:39.

the job, Paul Tucker. He has been a senior policy maker for a decade.

:04:39.:04:43.

He has plenty of experience, but apparently the wrong sort. The

:04:43.:04:47.

Chancellor has gone for an outsideer, who will be the youngest

:04:47.:04:51.

Bank of England governor anyone can remember. The next Governor of the

:04:51.:04:56.

Bank of England was supposed to serve an eight-year time, Mr Carney

:04:56.:05:01.

will serve five. The job has got bigger. As well as chairing the

:05:01.:05:05.

committee which sets interest rates, he and his colleagues will have new

:05:05.:05:09.

powers to regulate Britain's banks. If he is so well qualified for the

:05:09.:05:13.

job, you might wonder why no-one thought of him before. In fact Mark

:05:13.:05:18.

Carney's name was mentioned back in the spring. But he said flatly he

:05:18.:05:22.

didn't want it. Apparently he has changed his mind. Let's hope he

:05:22.:05:26.

doesn't change it back again when he gets a closer look. Let's go

:05:27.:05:31.

live now to the Treasury and join our business editor. George Osborne

:05:31.:05:36.

says he's the best in the world. What he's got, Mark Carney, that

:05:36.:05:42.

no-one in Britain has apparently not? I have just been chatting to

:05:42.:05:48.

George Osborne and he's behaving like the owner of a football club,

:05:48.:05:52.

who has got the manager he has set his heart on. He approached Mr

:05:52.:05:56.

Carney in February. Mr Carney turned him down first time around.

:05:56.:06:00.

A couple of months ago, he tried him again. This time he has got his

:06:01.:06:10.

man. The reason that George Osborne likes him is because Canada is

:06:10.:06:15.

perceived to have come through than Britain and is in better shape.

:06:15.:06:18.

Mark Carney is perceived to have played an important role in

:06:18.:06:23.

maintaining the stability of the Canadian banking system and the

:06:23.:06:26.

Canadian economy. However, although Mr Osborne is desperately pleased

:06:26.:06:32.

to have got this chap, you is to say that the British economy is in

:06:32.:06:36.

somewhat worse shape than Canada's economy and our banking system is

:06:36.:06:40.

in something of a mess. What's more, Mr Carney is inheriting a Bank of

:06:40.:06:44.

England that is getting important new powers, the management

:06:44.:06:49.

challenge for Mr Carney is going to be significantly greater than any

:06:49.:06:54.

challenge he's faced to date. In a sense, you can see the UK as middle

:06:54.:06:59.

to bottom of the table. Appointing an expensive new manager. Will Mr

:06:59.:07:03.

Osborne, in a year or two's time, be so pleased with his appointment?

:07:03.:07:09.

We'll have to wait and see. Thank you. Now to the severe weather

:07:09.:07:14.

sweeping across the country. After leaving a trail of destruction in

:07:14.:07:20.

the south-west, forecasters say torrential rainfall could lead to

:07:20.:07:24.

flooding in Teesside and County Durham. One in five has been

:07:24.:07:28.

delayed. Hundreds of homes have been flooded. Safety warnings on

:07:29.:07:34.

hundreds of A roads. After days of rainfall in some areas, these are

:07:34.:07:38.

the sort of conditions that millions of people woke up to this

:07:38.:07:44.

morning. Some vehicles didn't get through though. This passenger had

:07:44.:07:48.

to be rescued from a car which became marooned after coming to a

:07:48.:07:54.

standstill. Further north, tuex bury, so often

:07:54.:07:57.

left under floodwater in the past was once again hit. The River

:07:57.:08:02.

Severn has been overwhelmed. Mile after mile, there was ever of

:08:02.:08:09.

damage where it and other rivers have burst their banks. Over the

:08:09.:08:11.

border into Wales there were problems, especially in the north,

:08:11.:08:16.

with roads closed and travel disrupted. While in many areas it

:08:16.:08:20.

was about assessing the damage, in northern England the rain was

:08:21.:08:25.

causing new problems. Emergency services were called to the

:08:25.:08:28.

Friarage Hospital in Northallerton to stop a stream which runs under

:08:28.:08:32.

the building from flooding wards and operating theatres.

:08:32.:08:36.

Firefighters said they had to give this job priority over rescuing

:08:36.:08:41.

cars stranded in water. We have been very busy over this weekend,

:08:41.:08:47.

pulling people out of floodwater because people are driving into it.

:08:47.:08:51.

We would say, do people need to make those journeys. Talking to

:08:51.:08:56.

local people here, this is unprecedented for the last 20 years.

:08:56.:09:01.

Another 24 hours of rain has overwhelmed this small bebgand the

:09:01.:09:11.
:09:11.:09:12.

forecast now is for stream and the forecast is now for more rain. The

:09:12.:09:16.

problem here, in Yorkshire, is how bad it will get. This home has been

:09:16.:09:20.

warned about the rising waters. Pretty worried. It doesn't look

:09:20.:09:24.

like it's getting any better. We will see what it brings.

:09:24.:09:27.

Environment Agency say they are hopeful that main flood defences

:09:27.:09:30.

will hold and homes will be protected.

:09:30.:09:34.

With more rain falling, and no capacity for the ground to soak it

:09:34.:09:44.
:09:44.:09:47.

up, the next 24 hours are bound to As the cleanup gets under way,

:09:47.:09:51.

insurance companies warn up to 200,000 homeowners could find it

:09:51.:09:54.

difficult to cover their homes next year. They say talks with the

:09:54.:09:58.

Government on how to afford affordable premiums have reached

:09:58.:10:04.

crisis point. Jon Kay looks at the row over insurance claims.

:10:04.:10:08.

You can measure the damage here on the doorsteps.

:10:08.:10:13.

And by the bins, filling up with ruined food. In the village of

:10:13.:10:19.

Kennford, near Exeter, more than 30 properties were flooded. That's the

:10:19.:10:24.

level of the water which came in. The Parrys now have a plimsoll line

:10:24.:10:28.

running through the ground floor of their cottage.

:10:28.:10:33.

Everything below it has been ruined. That's my little job today, trying

:10:33.:10:38.

to wash all that. They hope their insurance will cover all the damage

:10:38.:10:44.

this time. But what if it happens again? It's a worry, isn't it? It

:10:44.:10:53.

is a worry. You know, one does need insurance. For the last few years,

:10:53.:10:58.

there's been an agreement in place between the Government and the

:10:58.:11:02.

insurance industry. Basically companies have been obliged to

:11:02.:11:06.

provide cover for existing policyholders, even if they live in

:11:06.:11:10.

a flood-prone area. That agreement runs out next summer. And talks

:11:10.:11:16.

about how to replace it are said to be in a mess.

:11:16.:11:20.

The insurance industry says it has offered ministers a solution and if

:11:20.:11:26.

it is not accepted, it claims 200,000 homes could lose their

:11:26.:11:30.

cover. There is no other proposition on the table which we

:11:30.:11:34.

think is workable or achievable. We very much hope that the Government

:11:34.:11:39.

will continue to discuss our proposal, which is carefully worked

:11:39.:11:43.

out. Visiting Devon, the Environment Secretary said any deal

:11:43.:11:48.

with insurers would have to be fair, both for policyholders and the

:11:48.:11:52.

wider public. We would like to see an arrangement

:11:52.:11:56.

which is affordable, as comprehensive as possible and does

:11:56.:12:02.

not put any great burden on the British taxpayer. As this village

:12:02.:12:07.

clears up, they hope an agreement can be reached to protect them in

:12:07.:12:13.

the future. While the talking continues, here there is work to be

:12:13.:12:20.

done. So, are this month's downpours any

:12:20.:12:25.

heavier than usual? Why isn't Britain better defended against

:12:25.:12:31.

flooding? We look at the figures behind the recent rainfall.

:12:31.:12:34.

Torrential rain. It is beginning to feel normal.

:12:34.:12:39.

So, in turn for many of us floods are becoming a fact of life. Since

:12:39.:12:44.

last week, much of the country has been struggling as water levels

:12:44.:12:48.

have been rising. It's been absolutely awful. We have been

:12:48.:12:51.

drenched. We live down and the river has come all the way up the

:12:51.:12:56.

garden. It has been raining all day and night. It is not great weather.

:12:56.:13:00.

It is really bad. This is my first time in the UK. I have been hearing

:13:00.:13:07.

about it. I am experiencing it now. They call it the Bath Road. The

:13:07.:13:12.

only thing missing is soap. On this island flooding is nothing new.

:13:12.:13:17.

1939 - a vintage year. 1963, another one to remember.

:13:17.:13:21.

This is Tonbridge, in Kent, underwater.

:13:21.:13:25.

Hard to believe that this November has not been especially wet. The

:13:25.:13:33.

average rainfall for the month is 160mms. When 216mms fell in 2009,

:13:33.:13:38.

it became officially the wettest November on record. This year, we

:13:38.:13:44.

had 43mms in the first three weeks of the month, not even close to

:13:44.:13:49.

record-breaking pace. It is not that unusual to see consistent low

:13:49.:13:52.

pressure coming off the Atlantic at this time of year, all bringing

:13:52.:13:56.

large amounts of rainfall. We are expecting, over the coming years,

:13:56.:14:02.

is we will see these events more frequently. All of this flooding is

:14:02.:14:06.

the result, not just of the torrential rain we've had, but the

:14:06.:14:10.

fact that rain has fallen on ground which was already saturated.

:14:10.:14:16.

Remember, this summer was the wet e on record for 100 years.

:14:16.:14:20.

-- wettest on record for 100 years. The drainage system is overloaded.

:14:20.:14:24.

It will run off into the rivers. We have seen surface flooding on the

:14:24.:14:29.

roads to start with. That impacts on to the rivers. As soon as we go

:14:29.:14:33.

through the winter the soil will not dry out. It will be cold.

:14:34.:14:38.

There'll be little evapration. We'll have to keep a close eye on

:14:38.:14:41.

things. The Government says the millions invested in flood defences

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:51.

have saved thousands of homes from You can find out more on the

Our top story tonight. The Bank of England's next governor will be

:15:06.:15:09.

Canadian Mark Carney. The first time the job has gone to a banker

:15:09.:15:19.

from overseas. Coming up: A resounding win for England in the

:15:19.:15:26.

Second Test against India. Later, more on the key talks taking place

:15:26.:15:31.

on whether Greece can get the next chunk its bail out money and UBS

:15:43.:15:46.

bombed a village close to the Turkish border, sending hundreds of

:15:46.:15:50.

panicked civilians running for safety. Their target was a building

:15:50.:15:54.

used by rebels. The shells landed close to a refugee camp one-and-a-

:15:54.:15:59.

half miles from the Turkish border. Where round 12,000 people are

:15:59.:16:04.

living in poor conditions. From Atma camp our world affairs

:16:04.:16:12.

correspondent sent this report. Atma camp. For 12,000 people this

:16:12.:16:22.
:16:22.:16:22.

is as far away from the war as they can get. It is wet, and cold, even

:16:22.:16:27.

before the winter has really set in, and unsanitary. Sewage mixes with

:16:27.:16:34.

mud after it rains. For some, a temporary home has become permanent.

:16:34.:16:40.

They are stuck. This place sprang up overnight, when people fleeing

:16:40.:16:44.

to turkey arrived at the border fence and couldn't go any further.

:16:44.:16:49.

-- Turkey. The war in Syria is grinding on and in a typical week

:16:49.:16:53.

1,000 people are killed. So many more families are making the same

:16:53.:17:02.

journey, only to end up here. Northern Syria has seen some of the

:17:02.:17:08.

worst atrocities of the war. They have come through a terrible ordeal

:17:08.:17:18.
:17:18.:17:20.

to reach Atma. In this group of tents ewe found survivors. 110

:17:20.:17:26.

people were said to have died there. 45-year-old Samara lost four

:17:26.:17:31.

brothers. TRANSLATION: where can we go? All

:17:31.:17:37.

Syria is being killed. We ask God to remove this pig Bashar. We ask

:17:37.:17:42.

the world to help for our children, in this rain we must prevail. Islam

:17:42.:17:50.

must prevail. The camp has fighters too. From the rebel Free Syrian

:17:50.:17:56.

Army. Many have families in the tents.

:17:56.:18:00.

TRANSLATION: We have been here for seven months. It is the safest

:18:00.:18:08.

place we can find. But even here we are afraid we will be shelled.

:18:08.:18:11.

Turkey is reluctant to take more refugee, so the little that Atma

:18:11.:18:17.

has will have to go further. This is the water supply for thousands.

:18:17.:18:23.

People cling to what little dignity they can. Though they are

:18:23.:18:33.

dispairing, that anyone will bring this to an end. A 26-year-old man

:18:33.:18:36.

has been arrested on suspicion of raping an 11-year-old girl, who was

:18:36.:18:40.

attacked while walking home from school. The girl was dragged off a

:18:41.:18:46.

street and into a park in Edmonton in north London on Friday evening.

:18:46.:18:51.

More than 50 firefighters are tackling a large fire at a chemical

:18:51.:18:55.

plant in the West Midlands. A large plume of smoke has been seen coming

:18:55.:18:58.

from the factory in the Langley area and there have been reports of

:18:58.:19:04.

a series of explosions. It is two month since the many allegations

:19:04.:19:08.

surrounding Jimmy Savile came to light, but only no now is the

:19:08.:19:12.

Health Service setting up inquiries into the alleged abuse ta took

:19:12.:19:16.

place on NHS premises. Charities are talking for greater

:19:16.:19:19.

transparency and urgency. Here is our health correspondent with the

:19:19.:19:27.

details. NHS hospitals where Jimmy Savile volunteered and raised money

:19:27.:19:29.

Leeds general infirm rirbgs Stoke Mandeville and Broadmoor. Two

:19:29.:19:33.

months after allegations of abuse were published, there is little

:19:33.:19:40.

detail on what the NHS is doing to look into it. Jimmy Savile was

:19:40.:19:43.

given extraordinary access at three hospitals, including Stoke

:19:44.:19:47.

Mandeville, the police are looking into the criminal allegations, but

:19:47.:19:52.

what exactly is the NHS doing, to find out how it was allowed to

:19:52.:19:57.

happen, and whether concerns were raised? One former patient at

:19:57.:20:03.

Broadmoor who alleges he was sexually assaulted said there are

:20:03.:20:06.

many unanswered questions. individually decided to give him

:20:06.:20:13.

the keys? Why? What did they think he could do, other than raise the

:20:13.:20:18.

profile of Broadmoor? Why was he given the amount of freedom to roam

:20:19.:20:24.

as he did with the keys unescorted once he got them? The NHS has

:20:24.:20:29.

announced four separate inquiry, which will all be overseen by a

:20:29.:20:31.

former barrister. At Stoke Mandeville the head of the inquiry

:20:31.:20:36.

panel has just been named. Broadmoor is expected to make a

:20:36.:20:39.

similar announcement this week. Leeds has yet to decide who will

:20:39.:20:45.

lead the inquiry, and the Department of Health has a further

:20:45.:20:49.

intern alinquiry. The Government says the allegations about Jimmy

:20:49.:20:52.

Savile in the NHS are appalling, and it is determined to get to the

:20:52.:20:57.

bottom of them, but a coalition of 130 health and care charities is

:20:57.:21:03.

calling for much greater urgency. These appear to be internal inquiry,

:21:03.:21:07.

we don't know the peoples of the people who are going to conduct

:21:07.:21:10.

them what the terms of reference are, how long they are going to

:21:10.:21:14.

take, we want that out in the public domain so the public can be

:21:14.:21:17.

involved and can judge. That is really important for accountability

:21:17.:21:22.

of the NHS. No minister has been available to be interviewed about

:21:22.:21:27.

the NHS investigations, but the Department of Health says it will

:21:27.:21:33.

publish more details soon. Rotherham council which took three

:21:33.:21:39.

Foster children away from a couple because they are members of the UK

:21:39.:21:43.

independence part party say they will be open in the inquiry ordered

:21:43.:21:48.

by the Government. Is this statement going to be enough to

But so far, no-one has been health accountable, and this has

England have won the Second Test against India, to level the series.

:23:03.:23:07.

Shocking to be outpin. England finished off the second innings,

conditions were me paired to suit India's spin bowler, but it played

ball. Monty Panesar 45 his sixth wicket of the innings. India were

14 2-2 out. England's spinners took 19 wickets between them in the

match. They had beaten India at their own game. Now England just

had to score 57 to win. Compton in only his second Test Match led the

Suddenly England can't wait for the next one. Now they have got a

My husband bought the ticket. It is worth it for me. So it was thumbs

up from the public and from the critic, who seemed tone joy their

night out. It was a extraordinary gig, I felt. It is not just that

:25:08.:25:12.

you were getting 50 years music thrown at you. The band seemed to

:25:12.:25:17.

really be enjoying playing, and it was much less the bells and

whistles you get at a big stadium gig. The arena is a small gig for

:25:33.:25:35.

the Rolling Stoness. The music was fantastic. Back in their heyday the

:25:35.:25:39.

stones were the epitome of youth culture. Rebellious and independent.

:25:39.:25:43.

That they kept the show on the road for half a century is astonishing.

:25:43.:25:53.
:25:53.:25:56.

Even to them. Nobody expected anything like this. I mean, it was,

:25:56.:26:03.

especially in those days, a band, it was lucky to live two or three

:26:03.:26:06.

years, and you hoped for a good time, and that was there, -- that

the weather let us go to Jon. For many of us the impact will last a

:27:05.:27:09.

lot longer than it stopping raining. It is still raining across a good

:27:09.:27:13.

part of northern England, down into North Wales. This is the main focus

:27:13.:27:17.

of concern. The 20 or 30 millimetres of rain, that rain

:27:17.:27:22.

running down from the Pennines, the Cheviots, North York Moors,

:27:22.:27:27.

Snowdonia, hence the amber warning. Major concerns, big impacts likely

:27:27.:27:32.

here and some snow on the highest ground. Now, it is not dry

:27:32.:27:36.

elsewhere. There are some big clumps of rain drifting down

:27:36.:27:40.

through parts of Wales, that is not good news for this part of the

:27:40.:27:45.

world. Some showers dotting round elsewhere. Many heavy. It will be

:27:45.:27:48.

mostly dry for parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. A touch of

:27:48.:27:52.

frost round. Cold feeling everywhere, with a blustery wind

:27:52.:27:55.

kicking in. That will be a key feature of the weather as we go

:27:55.:27:58.

through tomorrow. The good news is that we will have lost the rain,

:27:58.:28:02.

yes, there will be some showers and some of them sharp, but they will

:28:02.:28:06.

move through quickly on the breeze, with lengthy dry spells in between.

:28:06.:28:10.

So mid afternoon in Scotland, plenty of dry, bright weather in

:28:10.:28:15.

the south and west. Wintry showers in the Highlands. Mostly dry across

:28:15.:28:20.

Northern Ireland, thankfully it will be a lot drier in northern

:28:20.:28:24.

England, North Wales. Still some showers in North Sea coasts. One or

:28:24.:28:27.

two getting down through heart of England, but a lot of dry and

:28:27.:28:31.

bright weather in South Wales and the West Country. A good chance to

:28:31.:28:36.

clear thu things up. Through the rest of the week, that is the theme,

:28:36.:28:40.

colder but drier as well. Cold certainly, even in the sunshine,

:28:40.:28:44.

temperatures really struggling, a few showers, wintry showers,

:28:45.:28:47.
