:01:18. > :01:34.in time for the tournament in Russia in 2018.

:01:35. > :01:41.Good evening and welcome to the BBC's News at Six O'Clock. At least

:01:42. > :01:44.four people have died in one of the worst storms to hit southern parts

:01:45. > :01:48.of the UK for years. Near hurricane force conditions left more than half

:01:49. > :01:53.a million homes without electricity. Wind speeds hit 99 miles per hour on

:01:54. > :01:57.the Isle of Wight. There was widespread rail and road disruption.

:01:58. > :02:00.The storm, which began overnight, cut a trail of destruction across

:02:01. > :02:05.large parts of England with dozens of flood alerts left in its wake.

:02:06. > :02:12.Robert Hall reports on the day's events.

:02:13. > :02:17.Racing in on the Jetstream, the storm they named Saint Jude rattled

:02:18. > :02:23.our roof tiles and announced its presence with a swathe of damage. As

:02:24. > :02:27.predicted, the channel facing seaside towns and cities where the

:02:28. > :02:33.first to face the wind as it howled in from the west. In this case, the

:02:34. > :02:39.calm waters of Brighton Marina encircled by the white horses of a

:02:40. > :02:46.treacherous tide. Recorded wind speed steadily increased, 70, 80, 90

:02:47. > :02:51.mph, toppling trees in country woodland, urban streets and claiming

:02:52. > :02:56.lives. 17-year-old Bethany Freeman died as she slept in a mobile home

:02:57. > :03:01.which was crushed by a 30 foot tree. Her mother, sleeping in another

:03:02. > :03:04.mobile home a few yards away survived. Bethany and her family

:03:05. > :03:09.were living in this temporary accommodation while their home was

:03:10. > :03:13.being rebuilt. Bethany went to school in Tunbridge Wells, short

:03:14. > :03:15.distance from here. On the school website she was described as

:03:16. > :03:21.universally respected with everything to look forward to. Neil

:03:22. > :03:26.Chapman had been teaching Bethany to drive. She was a lovely kid. I can't

:03:27. > :03:33.believe it. I have just arrived. Shocked. What can I say? In Watford,

:03:34. > :03:36.north of London, Donal Drohan died when a tree fell across his car.

:03:37. > :03:44.Police said he had sent plebeian in the wrong place at the wrong time. A

:03:45. > :03:47.few seconds either way could have saved him. In Hounslow in west

:03:48. > :03:51.London, and man and a woman died in an explosion which wrecked three

:03:52. > :03:57.houses. It is thought a falling tree severed a gas pipe. During the

:03:58. > :04:01.course of the day, unfortunately, two bodies have been found, the

:04:02. > :04:06.bodies of a male and female. They are in different parts of the

:04:07. > :04:11.building. At this stage, I would like to offer my condolences to the

:04:12. > :04:15.family of the two deceased. On the south coast, the search for a

:04:16. > :04:21.14-year-old boy missing since yesterday, has been called off. Life

:04:22. > :04:24.boat crews and rescue teams had spent long hours in worsening

:04:25. > :04:28.conditions but to no avail. Dylan Alkins was swept away from the

:04:29. > :04:33.shoreline at New Haven in East Sussex as the storm approached.

:04:34. > :04:39.Saint Jude dashed across to the east, took in the Monday rush hour

:04:40. > :04:44.with inevitable consequences. Dozens of lines were blocked by fallen

:04:45. > :04:52.trees adding to the cancellations. At Reading station, commuters filled

:04:53. > :04:57.the mobile networks with their calls of apology and explanation. Trying

:04:58. > :05:02.to get to Winchester and it is just a nightmare. It is horrible. I am

:05:03. > :05:09.heading to Southampton and I am stuck here. I do not think I will

:05:10. > :05:12.get to my destination on time. The Gaels are heading for Scandinavia.

:05:13. > :05:17.Their passing will be remembered for a good while yet, like the

:05:18. > :05:21.householder who filmed a garden marquise somersaulting past his

:05:22. > :05:26.window. By the civil servants who gazed up at a crumpled crane above

:05:27. > :05:39.the rooftops of Whitehall. By the shipping companies whose vessels

:05:40. > :05:41.rode out the storm, unable to land urgently needed cargoes. Today's

:05:42. > :05:45.science had given us adequate warning, Saint Jude is another Up to

:05:46. > :05:47.half a million homes were left without power as the storm swept

:05:48. > :05:51.across southern and eastern England. Reminder of the unpredictable

:05:52. > :05:53.consequences of an autumn storm. Emergency crews have managed to

:05:54. > :05:57.re-connect more than three quarters of the homes but their work has been

:05:58. > :06:04.hampered by blocked roads. Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy is in

:06:05. > :06:09.Pangbourne in Berkshire. Some 18 hours after this storm first

:06:10. > :06:14.came ashore on the British trials, it is still causing problems,

:06:15. > :06:18.particularly with the wind which has brought down trees including here in

:06:19. > :06:22.Berkshire. Although it is hard to come by exact figures, it is

:06:23. > :06:26.believed that tens or hundreds of thousands of people are still

:06:27. > :06:33.without electricity. As the storm swept in, the power cut

:06:34. > :06:38.out, around half a million homes left without electricity across a

:06:39. > :06:44.great swathes of the United Kingdom. Dorothy Pickering in Berkshire was

:06:45. > :06:49.one of them. The whole village losing its power and electronic key

:06:50. > :06:54.pumped water. Woke up at six -ish and suddenly everything was black

:06:55. > :06:57.and there was nothing. Came down and got the radio and put it on the

:06:58. > :07:00.battery to check what was happening and they knew that we had no other

:07:01. > :07:06.visiting. In another part of Berkshire, these women lost there

:07:07. > :07:10.are visited. It added an extra plot to their monthly book club meeting,

:07:11. > :07:16.the discussion this time turning from literature to lights. It put me

:07:17. > :07:22.in a fair bad mood in the morning, because I had to boil up water on

:07:23. > :07:28.the gas stove. If when I go back it is not on, I will have to light the

:07:29. > :07:33.fire and do myself beans on the fire. Across Wiltshire, more power

:07:34. > :07:36.lines were being knocked out. This one is on the outskirts of

:07:37. > :07:40.Warminster in Wiltshire where the storm has been rattling through this

:07:41. > :07:44.morning. It brought down this particular tree and also some power

:07:45. > :07:48.lines and telephone lines. The council say they will be along to

:07:49. > :07:52.try and chop it up and opened this road, just one of the transport

:07:53. > :07:56.problems that people are facing as this storm passes through. As

:07:57. > :08:00.workmen came to dismantle the tree, neighbours said they worked out

:08:01. > :08:03.their own way to light the street. We stood here with torches for a

:08:04. > :08:14.couple of hours until it was light so that people could see the tree

:08:15. > :08:18.was there. Dennis got a shock of a non-electrical kind. I opened the

:08:19. > :08:23.door and we have got a tree in the garden. That was close. Very close.

:08:24. > :08:28.He nearly lost more than his power supply. We opened up the kitchen

:08:29. > :08:33.door and the tree was coming into the kitchen, actually coming into

:08:34. > :08:38.the kitchen. For Dennis, the biggest jolt came to his treasured model

:08:39. > :08:42.railway set, where, like the lives of tens of thousands of people

:08:43. > :08:50.today, it was derailed by an unforgiving storm. Around 200

:08:51. > :08:53.engineers have been working across the main sections of southern

:08:54. > :08:57.England today to restore power supplies. They are meeting problems,

:08:58. > :09:02.debris on the roads, trees across the road, particularly affecting the

:09:03. > :09:06.Moron eight villages in counties like Berkshire. We are being told it

:09:07. > :09:09.could be some days yet before everybody is able to get their

:09:10. > :09:12.supplies fully back on. Thank you.

:09:13. > :09:17.Network Rail said the damage caused by the storm had been more severe

:09:18. > :09:19.than expected. Let's get the latest on disruption from our correspondent

:09:20. > :09:27.Helen Fawkes who's at Kings Cross station in central London. What is

:09:28. > :09:33.it looking like this evening? This is a much busier rush-hour than

:09:34. > :09:37.normal. Many delays and disruptions for passengers this evening. Here at

:09:38. > :09:41.King's Cross, one of the worst affected railway stations in London,

:09:42. > :09:49.services only received a couple of hours ago. There are only a few

:09:50. > :09:52.trains coming and going. Network Rail said the situation as a whole

:09:53. > :09:55.is improving but there will not be a normal service today. They said the

:09:56. > :10:01.majority of lines are open with a reduced service. Midland mainline is

:10:02. > :10:06.the only service which is entirely closed. There are problems on South

:10:07. > :10:12.West Trains, East Coast, Virgin West Coast and East Anglia. Network Rail

:10:13. > :10:17.say there is plenty of work to do to repair the damage but they hope that

:10:18. > :10:19.by tomorrow they will be as near normal service as possible thank

:10:20. > :10:25.you. Unlike the Great Storm of 1987,

:10:26. > :10:28.which took weather forecasters by surprise, warnings about today's

:10:29. > :10:32.storm were first issued by the Met Office a week ago. More advanced

:10:33. > :10:35.technology has made predicting the weather far more reliable, as our

:10:36. > :10:41.Science Editor David Shukman now explains.

:10:42. > :10:45.From extraordinary violence along the south coast, to wreckage at the

:10:46. > :10:50.heart of government in Whitehall, the storm had been forecast to pack

:10:51. > :10:53.a punch and it did. Sweeping over southern Britain this morning, the

:10:54. > :11:00.winds were the result of the battle of air masses which began thousands

:11:01. > :11:03.of miles away. The precise damage, the exact timing, these could never

:11:04. > :11:09.have been predicted in detail, but as the wreckage is cleared, it is

:11:10. > :11:12.obvious forecasters had spotted potential trouble very early on and

:11:13. > :11:16.they made sure we all knew about it. It was last week, with this

:11:17. > :11:21.satellite picture with a swirl of clouds, that the Met Office was

:11:22. > :11:24.first alerted to the risk of a storm. Even a few days ago,

:11:25. > :11:29.observations from space were revealing the key ingredients. The

:11:30. > :11:33.Jetstream was flowing fast in a great loop over the antic.

:11:34. > :11:38.Meanwhile, warm air from the gulf of Mexico was being drawn upwards. This

:11:39. > :11:41.combination was the basic driver of the storm. As it crossed the

:11:42. > :11:45.Atlantic, it intensified with cold air being brought in from the north

:11:46. > :11:51.and this was the result the moment of the storm, intense low-pressure,

:11:52. > :11:55.causing powerful winds. We have seen how damaging they have been but we

:11:56. > :12:00.had plenty of warning. The last really serious storm was in 1987.

:12:01. > :12:04.Back then, 18 people lost their lives. 50 million trees were brought

:12:05. > :12:10.down at the gusts of wind were stronger than now. It is not 1987,

:12:11. > :12:16.it is a level down but one similarity is it deepened when it

:12:17. > :12:23.moved across the UK and this one had a steam jet. That is literally a

:12:24. > :12:25.sting in the tail. Behind the low-pressure system you have some

:12:26. > :12:30.really strong downdraught. The forecast themselves have come a long

:12:31. > :12:39.way. In 1987 the forecaster Michael Fish famously got it wrong. Earlier

:12:40. > :12:43.on a woman rang the BBC and said she had heard there was a hurricane on

:12:44. > :12:47.the way. If you are watching, don't worry, there is not. Ironically, he

:12:48. > :12:54.was caught up in today's storm. A favourite tree was brought down. We

:12:55. > :12:58.have got better computers, better brains working in the head office in

:12:59. > :13:04.Exeter putting things into the computers. Now our present four-day

:13:05. > :13:09.forecast is as accurate as one day forecast was years ago. Weather will

:13:10. > :13:13.never be totally predictable, but the lesson from today is the more

:13:14. > :13:17.warning we have, the better. For more information on the weather

:13:18. > :13:23.and disruption in your area go to bbc.co.uk/news.

:13:24. > :13:26.Now for the rest of the news. The trial has begun of two former

:13:27. > :13:30.editors of the News of World on phone hacking charges. Rebekah

:13:31. > :13:31.Brooks and Andy Coulson, who later became David Cameron's

:13:32. > :13:37.communications chief, are also accused of making unlawful payments

:13:38. > :13:41.to public officials. Both deny the charges. From the Old Bailey our

:13:42. > :13:48.Home Affairs Correspondent June Kelly reports.

:13:49. > :13:52.Once she was the most powerful woman in British newspapers, with links to

:13:53. > :13:58.successive Prime Minister is. From today, Rebekah Brooks is one of the

:13:59. > :14:03.leading figures in this criminal trial. Facing charges with her, her

:14:04. > :14:07.husband Charlie Brooks. Also in the dock, Andy Coulson, the former

:14:08. > :14:11.editor of the News of the World. He moved into government when David

:14:12. > :14:14.Cameron made him the director of communications. He used to go

:14:15. > :14:18.through the door of ten Downing St, now he will be familiar with the

:14:19. > :14:24.front entrance of the Central criminal Court. The Old Bailey is

:14:25. > :14:28.the setting for a case which is set to make local headlines. Two years

:14:29. > :14:32.after the hacking affair blew up, this is the media reporting on their

:14:33. > :14:35.own. It was the hacking of a phone belonging to the missing teenager

:14:36. > :14:40.Milly Dowler, later found murdered, which became the tipping point in

:14:41. > :14:45.this controversy. Within days, Rupert Murdoch announced the closure

:14:46. > :14:50.of the News of the World. Staff on one of the country's most

:14:51. > :14:54.established titles left the building for the last time after finishing

:14:55. > :14:58.the final addition. Meanwhile, the police investigation went right to

:14:59. > :15:03.the top of the Murdoch empire. Rebekah Brooks is now on trial for

:15:04. > :15:08.conspiracy to intercept mobile phone messages, that is phone hacking.

:15:09. > :15:12.Conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office. The allegation here

:15:13. > :15:17.is unlawful payments to public officials. And conspiring to pervert

:15:18. > :15:20.the course of justice. This is about allegedly removing and concealing

:15:21. > :15:27.evidence. Andy Coulson is facing two charges. He is accused of conspiring

:15:28. > :15:31.to intercept mobile phone messages and spirited to commit misconduct in

:15:32. > :15:37.public office. They are among eight people on trial. Apart from Rebekah

:15:38. > :15:39.Brooks' husband, all our current or former News International employees.

:15:40. > :15:44.All the defendants deny all the charges against them. They left

:15:45. > :15:49.court this evening having seen the start of the jury selection

:15:50. > :15:54.process. Potential jurors have been told the trial could run until

:15:55. > :16:10.Easter. The jury will be sworn in tomorrow and then the prosecution is

:16:11. > :16:14.due to open its case. Storms have swept across Britain, bringing

:16:15. > :16:21.disruption to travel and power cuts to thousands of homes. I am in the

:16:22. > :16:28.sky over southern England to find out what happened. In sports day,

:16:29. > :16:33.England's rugby league side will be without sunbird Jess after he was

:16:34. > :16:45.given a one match ban for a high tackle in their opening defeat to

:16:46. > :16:51.Australia. We have all seen piles of litter on our streets, parks and

:16:52. > :16:57.pavements. Much of it is the direct result of our fondness for fast food

:16:58. > :17:02.and sweets. Britain's population has risen by 21% since the 1960s, but

:17:03. > :17:08.the amount of litter we drop has gone up by a staggering 500%.

:17:09. > :17:13.According to Keep Britain Tidy it now costs more than ?1 billion a

:17:14. > :17:18.year to clean up the mess. Joan Bakewell has joined forces with the

:17:19. > :17:23.BBC's Panorama to look at what is being done to tackle it. Is Britain

:17:24. > :17:27.disappearing under a layer of litter? 30 million tonnes are

:17:28. > :17:34.collected from England's Street every year. Who is doing it? The

:17:35. > :17:40.general public. And then they moan that their poll tax goes up, but

:17:41. > :17:45.they are doing it. I do not like to see people's dirty rubbish bags and

:17:46. > :17:51.dumping it in the middle of the street. Since the 90s we have had

:17:52. > :17:54.some of the toughest litter laws in Europe. But while some councils

:17:55. > :18:02.issue hundreds of fines, others issue hardly any. It costs us about

:18:03. > :18:08.?1 billion to pick up the litter and that might buy as 30,000 nurses or

:18:09. > :18:17.30,000 care assistance or over 4000 libraries. Jeremy Paxman does not

:18:18. > :18:23.only grill politicians, as a patron of Clean Up Britain, he has got a

:18:24. > :18:28.lot to say about litter. This is not about living in a filthy

:18:29. > :18:34.environment. It is about the way we think of ourselves and other members

:18:35. > :18:39.of society. If I throw away a bit of rubbish, I do not want it around me

:18:40. > :18:44.any more and I fail to recognise it is then around somebody else. In

:18:45. > :18:49.Manchester I met a group of volunteers taking things into their

:18:50. > :18:58.own hands. You can have a read one or a green one. Meet the poo

:18:59. > :19:01.busters. I started spraying it with biodegradable spray-painted to tell

:19:02. > :19:08.people I did not like what they were doing. It is peer pressure, the

:19:09. > :19:14.community telling other members of the community it is not a perfect

:19:15. > :19:20.thing to do. But is peer pressure and paint enough to change

:19:21. > :19:25.anything? Our hectic, eat on the go culture is here to stay. But there

:19:26. > :19:28.are some councils, businesses and individuals working together which

:19:29. > :19:36.has left me mildly optimistic that we can tidy up Britain. And you can

:19:37. > :19:44.watch Panorama tonight at 8:30pm on BBC One. There needs to be a

:19:45. > :19:49.revolution in the way the NHS in England handles complaints according

:19:50. > :19:53.to an independent review. It says too many patients find the current

:19:54. > :19:59.approach confusing and often not knowing to. Our health correspondent

:20:00. > :20:05.Branwen Jeffreys reports. When Reginald died he left a family

:20:06. > :20:09.believed but also angry. His daughter Pauline fought for seven

:20:10. > :20:16.years to get an apology for his hospital care. He did not have any

:20:17. > :20:22.food, any drink, he was not given his medication. He was not taken out

:20:23. > :20:27.of bed to go to the toilet. He was not incontinent, but he was just

:20:28. > :20:33.left on the sheet. We watched him every day. His care was absolutely

:20:34. > :20:40.abysmal. She eventually hired lawyers. It is so difficult to make

:20:41. > :20:45.a complaint against the NHS, they do not listen to you at all. Another

:20:46. > :20:51.death at University Hospital in Cardiff also shaped this review. In

:20:52. > :20:58.2012, Owen Roberts spent his last 24 hours on a trolley in accident and

:20:59. > :21:01.emergency. His wife, MP and Clywd, was asked to investigate complaints

:21:02. > :21:07.after she raised the issue in Parliament. There are increasing

:21:08. > :21:13.complaints about nurses who fail to show care and compassion to their

:21:14. > :21:17.patients. The review she led says hospitals need to publish

:21:18. > :21:22.information about complaints, but most of all staff need to listen

:21:23. > :21:27.when concerns our first raised. We hope this report will make it easier

:21:28. > :21:31.for people to complain and the complaint will not escalate and will

:21:32. > :21:37.be dealt with at the time it happens. This review is calling for

:21:38. > :21:42.a big culture change in the way the NHS listens to concerns and deals

:21:43. > :21:47.with complaints. It says in that change does not happen, they will be

:21:48. > :21:52.back here at the Department of Health in one-year's time asking for

:21:53. > :21:58.more radical steps to be taken. Patient groups say change will only

:21:59. > :22:04.happen if the NHS stops being defensive. Unfortunately, NHS staff

:22:05. > :22:12.do not see complaint as a way of learning. They could see them to

:22:13. > :22:16.help their job better, but if they are not going to take this

:22:17. > :22:21.approach, the culture will never change. Most families want answers,

:22:22. > :22:27.but not excuses, when mistakes are made, but most of all to know that

:22:28. > :22:33.lessons have been made. A Unite union official at the centre of the

:22:34. > :22:38.Grangemouth dispute last week has resigned from his job. Stephen Denes

:22:39. > :22:44.was waiting to hear about a disciplinary case against him

:22:45. > :22:49.tomorrow. Upgrading existing rail lines instead of going ahead with

:22:50. > :22:54.the proposed HS2 railing could lead to 14 years of weekend route

:22:55. > :22:58.closures according to a government backed study. The report says the

:22:59. > :23:03.east coast, the West Coast and Midland lines will all be severely

:23:04. > :23:07.disrupted. Our transport correspondent is at Piccadilly in

:23:08. > :23:14.Manchester. This comes before the govern -- the government makes its

:23:15. > :23:19.latest case for any -- HS2. We have had a taster of what is

:23:20. > :23:24.going to come tomorrow. The government is trying to persuade

:23:25. > :23:29.everybody the benefits outweigh the costs. Today they told us that if

:23:30. > :23:34.you did the next best thing, if you did not build HS2 and you beefed up

:23:35. > :23:41.all the lines we have got already, including this one, then you get 14

:23:42. > :23:45.years worth of weekend delays and closures, passengers forced onto bus

:23:46. > :23:52.services. They say there is no alternative. They are laying the

:23:53. > :23:56.ground for the business case tomorrow. There is also a vote on

:23:57. > :24:00.Thursday one we are expecting some conservative and maybe Labour MPs to

:24:01. > :24:05.rebel against it tomorrow. But the big thing tomorrow is this business

:24:06. > :24:13.case which should be out at about 9:30am. We will hear from you then.

:24:14. > :24:17.At least five people are dead and another 38 were injured after a

:24:18. > :24:21.vehicle crashed into a crowd of people in Beijing. The incident

:24:22. > :24:25.occurred on the edge of the politically sensitive area of

:24:26. > :24:31.Tiananmen Square at the entrance to the Forbidden City. No information

:24:32. > :24:35.was released about the cause. More on the storm that swept across

:24:36. > :24:41.southern England leaving a trail of destruction behind it. At one point

:24:42. > :24:47.in the day half a million homes were left without power. Jeremy Cooke has

:24:48. > :24:52.been getting a bird's I's view. Across the south and east of

:24:53. > :24:56.England, widespread disruption. Even when the storm had passed thousands

:24:57. > :25:03.of commuters faced hours of delay and frustration. If your day started

:25:04. > :25:10.in John Bridge, it probably started slowly. The problem was trees on the

:25:11. > :25:15.lines, hundreds of them, up and down the rail network. At the other end

:25:16. > :25:21.of the line Waterloo station was at a standstill, with trains backed up

:25:22. > :25:27.with nowhere to go. And so it went on all day. Four mile after mile we

:25:28. > :25:31.have seen the same thing. Some of the nation's busiest rail lines are

:25:32. > :25:41.completely diverted, nothing moving into or out of London. Also on hold,

:25:42. > :25:46.Felixstowe container terminal. This place is normally a hive of

:25:47. > :25:53.activity, but today it is static. The cost of the storm will be

:25:54. > :25:57.millions. The cost, of course, in casualties as well. As well as those

:25:58. > :26:02.who lost their lives, others were injured in random events. We are

:26:03. > :26:07.seeing a series of isolated incidents happening as the storm has

:26:08. > :26:13.passed through. In some places there have been disastrous consequences.

:26:14. > :26:17.Even Whitehall did not escape. A crane crashed down near Downing

:26:18. > :26:22.Street. For many of us it has been little more than a windy day in

:26:23. > :26:27.autumn, for others a day of tragedy and destruction. Let's hope for some

:26:28. > :26:39.calm. The weather returned to normal for

:26:40. > :26:46.us, but the storm lives on and it has crossed into Denmark with gusts

:26:47. > :26:50.of 115 mph. It will move into the Baltic sea overnight. Back at home

:26:51. > :26:55.we are left with some pretty breezy conditions. Overnight tonight some

:26:56. > :27:03.blustery showers mainly in the north and the West. Through this evening

:27:04. > :27:07.and overnight you can still see it is on the breezy side with heavy

:27:08. > :27:11.downpours around. The eastern areas are seeing the clearest skies. The

:27:12. > :27:19.lowest temperatures in the Glens of Scotland. But for tomorrow morning

:27:20. > :27:23.whilst the clear up will continue, thankfully the weather is much

:27:24. > :27:28.quieter. Many of the Southern counties are looking dry and then

:27:29. > :27:38.maybe one or two showers scattered around. Some showers from the word

:27:39. > :27:43.go in the Park of West Midlands. Cloudier for western Scotland, but

:27:44. > :27:48.eastern Scotland should get off to a dry and a sunny start. We will keep

:27:49. > :27:55.a few showers as we go through the day, with a few skirting inland at

:27:56. > :28:01.times. Later in the day they fade away. All the while it remains

:28:02. > :28:08.pretty breezy, which takes the edge of temperatures. Feeling cooler and

:28:09. > :28:15.a cold start to Wednesday morning. Maybe the risk of a touch of Frost.

:28:16. > :28:19.But we have got another weather system bringing a band of heavy rain

:28:20. > :28:27.and some strong winds and that moves its way south throughout the day. A

:28:28. > :28:33.bit of a mixed picture. Our main story: The worst storms to hit

:28:34. > :28:38.Britain for years have left at least four people dead. Strong winds and

:28:39. > :28:43.rain brought travel disruption and power cuts to thousands of homes.
