:00:16. > :00:26.before it gets better. Officials say it's the most exceptional period of
:00:27. > :00:27.rain for more than 200 years. 1000 homes evacuated, thousands more at
:00:28. > :00:30.risk. 1,600 soldiers have been drafted in,
:00:31. > :00:38.ready to help wherever they're needed. Soul destroying. You work
:00:39. > :00:39.all your life to get a decent place and then something like this
:00:40. > :00:43.happens. The Prime Minister tours the worst
:00:44. > :00:47.affected areas - he says money will be no object in tackling the
:00:48. > :00:49.problem. With some rail lines under water,
:00:50. > :00:56.millions of travellers face disruption.
:00:57. > :01:04.Also on tonight's programme: Bonus payments are up at Barclays - but
:01:05. > :01:07.profits are down. And jobs are cut. The Hollywood child star who went on
:01:08. > :01:14.to be a diplomat - Shirley Temple has died at the age of 85.
:01:15. > :01:17.Tonight on BBC London: A two-day Tube strike is called off after a
:01:18. > :01:20.last-minute deal between unions and TfL.
:01:21. > :01:21.And the flood-hit residents who say they're marooned and unable to leave
:01:22. > :01:48.their properties. Good evening from Wraysbury in
:01:49. > :01:51.Berkshire - just one of the towns along the Thames Valley caught in
:01:52. > :02:01.what experts say is the most exceptional rain for more than two
:02:02. > :02:04.centuries. I hope you can see behind me what people are up against here
:02:05. > :02:06.tonight. Tonight 1,600 troops are on stand-by - and forecasters are
:02:07. > :02:12.predicting more severe weather to come. The Prime Minister said that
:02:13. > :02:15.money would be no object in getting many places back on their feet.
:02:16. > :02:26.Tonight we'll have the political reaction, travel details and the
:02:27. > :02:29.latest scientific assessments. But first, Duncan Kennedy is with the
:02:30. > :02:34.community in Colebrook, just along the Thames Valley.
:02:35. > :02:38.You are right, George. Yet more flooding here in the Thames Valley.
:02:39. > :02:43.Hearing Colnbrook, they've seen the waters rise imperceptibly, but
:02:44. > :02:48.definitely, over the past 24 hours. But what's it like living with all
:02:49. > :02:52.this flooding and water? Today we spent the entire day with this one
:02:53. > :02:59.community on this one street to find out.
:03:00. > :03:05.This is the story of a street underwater and a community under
:03:06. > :03:15.pressure. Laurel Close, where River meets road. Lindsay Joyce's day now
:03:16. > :03:20.starts with the wellingtons routine. This is the view out of the front
:03:21. > :03:28.door. The school run has become the school carry. 100 yards of it.
:03:29. > :03:33.Nobody seems to know anything. We do feel a little bit left our own
:03:34. > :03:42.devices, really. So abandoned, they've organised their own Santa
:03:43. > :03:46.delivery. -- sand. It's mid-morning and the only troops are those who
:03:47. > :03:51.live here, an army filling sandbags. Do you know these people? Not all of
:03:52. > :03:57.them. It takes a disaster to bring people together. Every kind of
:03:58. > :04:05.transport is used to move the sandbags, from wheelie bins to
:04:06. > :04:14.shopping trolleys to babies' bodies. Men and women in a backbreaking
:04:15. > :04:17.race. -- babies' prams. We've got to protect our homes, protect our
:04:18. > :04:23.valuables. We've got no idea what's coming next to so we need to be
:04:24. > :04:27.forearmed. By mid afternoon, this man is helping to barricade one of
:04:28. > :04:32.the houses on the street. But the stress of the rising water is
:04:33. > :04:37.getting to his mother. I feel emotional and depressed. I can't say
:04:38. > :04:46.more than that. I'm really depressed. Nearby, this family are
:04:47. > :04:54.also losing hope. They've moved their lives upstairs. How long can
:04:55. > :04:58.you live like this? Not long. I'm just hoping that in a day or two,
:04:59. > :05:07.things calm down so that we can move on with our lives. Late this
:05:08. > :05:10.afternoon, Lindsay Joyce returned home with six-year-old Marshall.
:05:11. > :05:16.Unlike the water, it's been another draining day. I'm still stressed,
:05:17. > :05:21.wondering if it's going to go or if it's going to be worse tomorrow.
:05:22. > :05:27.Lindsay Joyce and all her neighbours know this won't go away quickly. The
:05:28. > :05:35.lives of one community facing nature, fighting bureaucracy and
:05:36. > :05:38.fending for themselves. Well, the Prime Minister has spent
:05:39. > :05:41.the day travelling from Devon to Somerset, then here to the Thames
:05:42. > :05:45.Valley and back to Downing Street. He's promised to do everything in
:05:46. > :05:52.his power to help the flood victims, as our correspondent Jon Kay
:05:53. > :06:00.reports. High visibility - a prime minister
:06:01. > :06:04.keen to be seen. He was visiting Devon's fractured railway line this
:06:05. > :06:08.morning and insisting he will get storm battered Britain back on
:06:09. > :06:13.track. If money needs to be spent, it will be spent. If resources are
:06:14. > :06:18.required, we will provide them. If the military can help, they will be
:06:19. > :06:22.there. As he inspected the damage to the front, coffee time at this
:06:23. > :06:28.seaside cafe. But what did customers think of his visit? He speaks a lot
:06:29. > :06:32.of sense and the fact that he's come - he cares. He's got to be seen
:06:33. > :06:38.doing it, rather than sitting in Westminster. Next stop, Taunton. The
:06:39. > :06:43.prime minister cancelled a cabinet meeting to be here in stead. In this
:06:44. > :06:47.control room, the response to the Somerset Levels flooding has been
:06:48. > :06:52.coordinated and after all the criticism and blame, a chance to
:06:53. > :06:57.show a united front. A bit of welcome sunshine in Somerset today,
:06:58. > :07:00.but many here told us they wanted Mr Cameron to spend some of Britain's
:07:01. > :07:07.foreign aid budget helping flood victims at home. Some of the
:07:08. > :07:13.millions being sent to help people abroad - OK, people abroad need help
:07:14. > :07:18.- we do here. This part of the country is in chaos. The school
:07:19. > :07:20.where this woman teachers was closed by flooding today and she wants to
:07:21. > :07:24.see more leadership from the Prime Minister. I think he's panicking
:07:25. > :07:28.because he doesn't quite know what to do and it is a very difficult
:07:29. > :07:32.situation and I appreciate we are experiencing unusual weather.
:07:33. > :07:38.However, there are still ditches to be cleared, people cut off, people
:07:39. > :07:43.without provision. If Mr Cameron thought the south-west was wet, wait
:07:44. > :07:48.until he reached the Thames Valley. In Staines, he surprised people
:07:49. > :07:50.living on this flooded street. Mr Cameron has been in there holding a
:07:51. > :07:54.private meeting with residents about the state of their overflowing
:07:55. > :07:58.drains. Not the kind of thing you'd expect a prime minister to deal with
:07:59. > :08:03.himself but he knows that his leadership will be judged by the way
:08:04. > :08:11.he deals with this wider crisis. And those who met him today agree. If
:08:12. > :08:15.action is not taken, all we can do is vote. It will make a difference
:08:16. > :08:20.to the way you vote? Yeah, I will vote for whoever fixes this problem.
:08:21. > :08:27.Back to Downing Street and after 300 miles, this message tonight. There
:08:28. > :08:29.is absolutely no sign of this threat abating and with further rain and
:08:30. > :08:34.strong winds forecast throughout the week, wings may well get worse
:08:35. > :08:41.before they get better. My message to the country today is this - money
:08:42. > :08:46.is no object in this relief effort. Whatever money is needed for it will
:08:47. > :08:50.be spent. The Prime Minister announced he was cancelling his trip
:08:51. > :08:58.to the Middle East next week. Instead, he will deal with the
:08:59. > :09:03.crisis in middle England. Let's talk to our political editor,
:09:04. > :09:07.Nick Robinson, in Westminster. We've just seen the prime minister out and
:09:08. > :09:12.about but is there a real change in what the government is doing now?
:09:13. > :09:16.We've seen him out and about. He is chairing committees. He's been
:09:17. > :09:22.making these visits. But that promise that you just heard that
:09:23. > :09:26.money is no object is a really dramatic change, frankly. There's
:09:27. > :09:30.been a great argument about whether spending on flood defences has been
:09:31. > :09:36.cut. That bro minister insists it hasn't but others insist it has. --
:09:37. > :09:40.the Prime Minister. It depends on how you measure it. He is saying to
:09:41. > :09:47.farmers, businesses, who lost money that he will make it up. He says he
:09:48. > :09:51.will help householders rebuild their homes in a way that protects them
:09:52. > :09:55.from floods. But those words will be held against him day after day,
:09:56. > :09:59.month after month, as people say, "do you really mean money is no
:10:00. > :10:05.object? Can I have some for the cause I think is important?" . David
:10:06. > :10:09.Cameron now knows that he must be seen to be in control, not least
:10:10. > :10:13.because he is predicting things will get worst, not least because he is
:10:14. > :10:20.saying the progress in sorting out the floods and broken railways will
:10:21. > :10:23.be, in his words, depressingly slow. Thanks very much.
:10:24. > :10:25.Well, some of the country's top scientists are warning that some
:10:26. > :10:28.communities will take many months to dry out.
:10:29. > :10:34.It was the wettest January in England since records began - with
:10:35. > :10:38.158mm of rain. And there's no end in sight. Tomorrow, the forecast is for
:10:39. > :10:43.20mm across the UK, and up to 30mm across parts of the South West and
:10:44. > :10:53.Wales. This report from our science editor David Shukman.
:10:54. > :10:58.To get a view of how much water is underground, you need to open up a
:10:59. > :11:06.borehole. This is mere one foot in Oxfordshire. -- near a town in
:11:07. > :11:10.Oxfordshire. You can see the incredible pressure of the water
:11:11. > :11:17.deep underground. There is so much of it that it has become a source of
:11:18. > :11:22.flooding in itself. The flow from deep below is so strong that this
:11:23. > :11:27.could keep going for months. Imagine the effect of even more rain. There
:11:28. > :11:31.are borehole is up and down the country. Those marked in black on
:11:32. > :11:38.the map have never held so much water. This means, sadly, yet more
:11:39. > :11:42.flooding. The water in the ground will take weeks, possibly months, to
:11:43. > :11:47.work its way through the system. So the flooding could last for at least
:11:48. > :11:52.another couple of weeks. Even if the rain stops now. The new research
:11:53. > :11:56.shows that nine of the boreholes measuring ground water are at record
:11:57. > :12:03.levels. One is at its highest for 179 years. 17 Riverside blinks
:12:04. > :12:10.stations recorded the highest ever average flows in January and they
:12:11. > :12:15.are still rising. The River Thames is well over its banks in
:12:16. > :12:19.Oxfordshire. It has been higher at this point before but never for so
:12:20. > :12:23.long. In fact, there is so much water is stored in the ground and in
:12:24. > :12:26.the rivers that one researcher studying the flows says more
:12:27. > :12:31.flooding is inevitable and for a long time to come. Even if it
:12:32. > :12:35.doesn't rain any more, there will be more flooding. But the likelihood is
:12:36. > :12:38.that we will see more rainfall in the coming weeks and months and that
:12:39. > :12:43.this level will continue for some time. It could be three to six
:12:44. > :12:48.months before we see the situation back to what we would describe as
:12:49. > :12:51.normal. This is the long haul that David Cameron has warned about. The
:12:52. > :12:56.extreme weather is producing exceptional volumes of water, which
:12:57. > :13:00.means flooding will be a threat to a great many people for some time to
:13:01. > :13:02.come. Many rail links across southern and
:13:03. > :13:07.south-west England are under water, causing travel disruption for
:13:08. > :13:15.commuters. Our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott, is
:13:16. > :13:23.in Datchet in Berkshire. Richard, I wonder if you can give us the latest
:13:24. > :13:27.situation. I can. This should be a really busy platform about now, with
:13:28. > :13:31.commuters coming back from London. This line is still closed. It's a
:13:32. > :13:36.ghost station and let me show you why. These pictures from a few hours
:13:37. > :13:43.ago. The is completely underwater. The water has come through the River
:13:44. > :13:46.Thames, underground. One of the lines should be electrified but they
:13:47. > :13:49.can't mix the electricity with water. It's probably going to be
:13:50. > :13:54.closed for the rest of the week and possibly longer. When you talk to
:13:55. > :13:58.rail engineers, who have done this job for 20 years or more, they say
:13:59. > :14:03.they've never seen anything like it. Let me remind you of the national
:14:04. > :14:08.picture. You cannot get in or out of Cornwall on a train. Big delays
:14:09. > :14:13.going across Somerset and Devon with lines still underwater. And now,
:14:14. > :14:17.across the Thames Valley, especially trains going into Paddington station
:14:18. > :14:22.in London, we've got big delays and signals out. These are some of the
:14:23. > :14:27.busiest trains in the country. The worst news of all, I'm afraid, we
:14:28. > :14:31.are going to have weeks of problems. Even when the water goes,
:14:32. > :14:37.they've got to go in and fix the issue so we're going to have weeks,
:14:38. > :14:44.if not months, of delays, still. Thanks very much, Richard. I'll be
:14:45. > :14:49.back later in the programme but for now, over two Jane Hill in the
:14:50. > :14:51.studio. Thank you, George.
:14:52. > :14:54.A mother from Lancashire and her boyfriend have been arrested on
:14:55. > :14:57.suspicion of manslaughter, after the woman's 11-month-old daughter was
:14:58. > :15:00.mauled to death by a dog. Ava-Jayne Corless was in bed at a house in
:15:01. > :15:05.Blackburn last night when she was attacked. Police say the the dog was
:15:06. > :15:15.a type of American pit bull. Judith Moritz reports.
:15:16. > :15:20.this is baby Ava-Jayne Corless who died last night after being mauled
:15:21. > :15:25.by a dog. She is being held by her mother, 20-year-old Chloe King, who
:15:26. > :15:29.is now under arrest on suspicion of child neglect and manslaughter,
:15:30. > :15:34.along with her 26-year-old boyfriend, Lee Wright. 11-month-old
:15:35. > :15:39.Ava-Jayne was attacked while asleep in a bedroom last night. Today, a
:15:40. > :15:44.dog cage left in the garden was the only reminder of the American pit
:15:45. > :15:58.bull type dog responsible. It has since been destroyed. Neighbours
:15:59. > :16:01.spoke of their shop but also said they had been frightened by dogs
:16:02. > :16:04.kept at the house. The No they chased me and I was really scared
:16:05. > :16:07.and my kids were scared as well. I saw the police vans arriving. He was
:16:08. > :16:10.pulled out of the house cuffed. Lancashire Police will now examine
:16:11. > :16:16.claims that they had been called on previous occasions I neighbours
:16:17. > :16:22.worried about the dog. We will have to ascertain the exact nature of the
:16:23. > :16:28.dog. The police are also trying to establish whether the dog was a band
:16:29. > :16:34.breed. When Ava-Jayne was attacked she was asleep in a bedroom
:16:35. > :16:39.upstairs, her mother and mother's boyfriend were downstairs on a sofa.
:16:40. > :16:43.Detectives will be asking them how exactly the dog attack was able to
:16:44. > :16:47.happen. Our top story this evening.
:16:48. > :16:56.More communities have been hit by flooding in the Thames Valley, and
:16:57. > :16:59.beyond. And still to come, the pub landlord leading the flood relief
:17:00. > :17:02.effort, in one Somerset village. Later on BBC London: The flood-hit
:17:03. > :17:04.businesses - we've spent the day with those who say their trade is
:17:05. > :17:07.suffering. And we'll give you the latest
:17:08. > :17:08.details on the travel disruption caused by the flooding in the Thames
:17:09. > :17:20.Valley. There's been sharp criticism of
:17:21. > :17:26.Barclays today, for its large payments to executives. The bank
:17:27. > :17:32.announced a rise of 10% in bonuses and other incentives, to ?2.4
:17:33. > :17:37.billion. That's at a time when profits are down by more than a
:17:38. > :17:48.third, to ?5.2 billion. Our business editor Robert Peston has more
:17:49. > :17:52.details. There are murky hidden depths to
:17:53. > :17:57.bank results but at Barclays, what is clear, is bonuses and incentives
:17:58. > :18:02.paid to its workers have risen by 10% while profits fell last year by
:18:03. > :18:07.almost a third. What many people do not understand is how profits can
:18:08. > :18:14.fall but bonuses can rise. Can you explain why that happens? One thing
:18:15. > :18:19.we do when we look at bonuses is we have to be competitive on pay and we
:18:20. > :18:23.have to pay for performance. We operate in many countries around the
:18:24. > :18:30.world from Singapore to San Francisco, and we compete for talent
:18:31. > :18:35.in global markets. A pretty picture? Not according to a business leader.
:18:36. > :18:41.Any business which pays out three times as much to its managers as its
:18:42. > :18:45.owners, which is you and me, is doing something profoundly wrong.
:18:46. > :18:51.Shareholders, the investment companies which invest our pensions
:18:52. > :18:54.ought to be up in arms. Antony Jenkins, Barclays' chief executive
:18:55. > :19:02.has put the slogans all over Barclays. They are supposed to
:19:03. > :19:08.demonstrate the way that the bank's values and culture are changing. As
:19:09. > :19:14.it happens, the first letter spells rises. Does that mean Barclays'
:19:15. > :19:19.rises or pay rises? Does it damage the reputation of the retail bank
:19:20. > :19:24.and the commercial bank, this furore at about bonuses year after year? We
:19:25. > :19:35.do not think investment banking damages the result of the bank. It
:19:36. > :19:39.is what we do that matters. If we do business the right way in retail
:19:40. > :19:43.banking, investment banking and credit cards and so on, then our
:19:44. > :19:48.reputation will improve and it has been improving. This wily former
:19:49. > :19:52.head of the CBI has been asked by the big banks to help them mend
:19:53. > :19:57.their reputations by creating a body to set higher standards of behaviour
:19:58. > :20:07.for them. Three things are happening. One is regulation, the
:20:08. > :20:13.other is an industry wide approach. Barclays global and also local. In
:20:14. > :20:19.Scotland, independence, good for the UK or bad for the UK? That is a
:20:20. > :20:26.matter for the Scottish people to decide. We think we can make it work
:20:27. > :20:35.either way as a bank. Barclays, when bonuses do not fall with profits,
:20:36. > :20:38.can it be properly respected again? Hollywood's biggest ever child star,
:20:39. > :20:43.Shirley Temple, has died at the age of 85. She began her film career at
:20:44. > :20:45.the age of three, and with her curls and dimples became America's
:20:46. > :20:49.sweetheart during the 1930s, with films such as Bright Eyes and Curly
:20:50. > :20:51.Top. She later had a second career as a diplomat, serving as US
:20:52. > :21:03.ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. David Sillito looks
:21:04. > :21:05.back at her life. # On the Good Ship Lollipop.
:21:06. > :21:13.# Its a sweet trip. # To the candy shop.
:21:14. > :21:30.Shirley Temple was a child star without equal. She did seven films
:21:31. > :21:33.in 1934 alone, helping to save FOX Studios from bankruptcy. She said
:21:34. > :21:42.she stopped believing in Santa Claus when aged six, she sat on his knee
:21:43. > :21:48.and he asked her for an autograph. Shirley has got her first car, she
:21:49. > :21:53.drives like a grown-up woman. She seemed to have everything, even her
:21:54. > :22:00.own Baby Oscar. What she did not have was friends her own age. Money,
:22:01. > :22:07.can I go home now? So aged ten she was Hollywood's number one star. At
:22:08. > :22:13.12, that stardom was fading. She retired in 1950 to discover her
:22:14. > :22:18.fortune had gone. Out of the $3,200,000 that I had earned from
:22:19. > :22:24.everything, doll sales, books, clothing and everything, I had
:22:25. > :22:28.$44,000 left in a trust account. But this was a life with a remarkable
:22:29. > :22:36.second act. Shirley Temple Black moved into politics. I am dedicating
:22:37. > :22:41.my life and my energies to public service because I think our country
:22:42. > :22:47.needs it now more than it ever has before. During her career she was
:22:48. > :22:51.ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia and the White House
:22:52. > :22:55.Chief of Protocol. It was a startling reinvention. But whatever
:22:56. > :23:00.she did, she will always be remembered as America's little
:23:01. > :23:07.princess. Oh, my goodness! Shirley Temple, who's died in
:23:08. > :23:14.California, at the age of 85. More on the floods now, with George
:23:15. > :23:17.in Berkshire. George. Welcome back to the Thames Valley
:23:18. > :23:21.where thousands of families are struggling to keep the flood water
:23:22. > :23:24.from their homes. In Somerset,the misery has been going on for weeks,
:23:25. > :23:29.and in one village, Burrowbridge, the local relief effort is being led
:23:30. > :23:39.by the pub landlord. Jim Winkworth has been telling us his story.
:23:40. > :23:44.You wake up in the morning and you think, are we going to be flooded or
:23:45. > :23:48.not? You open the door and hope not to see water everywhere. That is how
:23:49. > :23:54.we are living. If we get another inch or two of rain, there will be
:23:55. > :24:02.more water into houses, more misery, basically. Rain means misery at the
:24:03. > :24:05.moment. We have been out this morning and sandbagged three
:24:06. > :24:09.properties which were at immediate risk. This is all being done by
:24:10. > :24:12.ourselves, this is not by any environment agencies or anyone else,
:24:13. > :24:20.we have just done this for ourselves. The damage to trade is
:24:21. > :24:23.huge. You have got no passing trade because the police will not let
:24:24. > :24:26.anyone in. It is becoming impractical to run the business
:24:27. > :24:33.here. I just cannot see us continuing. It makes you feel sick.
:24:34. > :24:38.It is pouring someone's knife out. Luckily, everyone have not lost
:24:39. > :24:44.everything. We have managed to get people out and furniture out but it
:24:45. > :24:50.is the shock of seeing someone's home destroyed. Children's toys and
:24:51. > :24:55.things like that. Sorry. This is the river, this first bit. The rest, as
:24:56. > :25:02.far as the eye can see is farmland. Every drop of that water has to be
:25:03. > :25:07.pumped. So, it is like a see, isn't it? Are we fighting a losing battle
:25:08. > :25:15.here? Are we really fighting a losing battle? There you get a sense
:25:16. > :25:22.of the situation in Somerset. Back here in Wraysbury I have Rose
:25:23. > :25:28.who has been the volunteers. The spotlight is on you now but you have
:25:29. > :25:38.been here since January. The we have been here on our own. All the
:25:39. > :25:44.residents have organised a emergency sandbags. We had 100,000 delivered
:25:45. > :25:49.in January with the help of our borough councillor. That was a dry
:25:50. > :25:56.run for this case. What is the mood like now? The mood has taken a
:25:57. > :26:00.change for the better with the help we have now received. I think people
:26:01. > :26:05.are feeling far more safe and in control. It is far better than it
:26:06. > :26:12.was yesterday, for sure. There was some anger? There was but we are
:26:13. > :26:17.trying to calm it and say, let's get through this. We will make sure we
:26:18. > :26:23.are safe. The anger will not go away. Thank you very much. Let's get
:26:24. > :26:29.the all-important weather forecast now with Louise Lear.
:26:30. > :26:37.Thank you. We'd love a movie sequel in this country. Storm, the return
:26:38. > :26:42.will be into double figures at the box office. We do it all again in 24
:26:43. > :26:48.hours. Keep watching the weather forecast or tune into your BBC local
:26:49. > :26:52.radio stations. We have some snow at lower levels across Scotland and
:26:53. > :26:58.Northern Ireland. As we speak, a cold night to come. I want to draw
:26:59. > :27:01.your attention to Wales. With temperatures falling away we could
:27:02. > :27:05.potentially pick up some snow showers to lower levels here. That
:27:06. > :27:09.could affect parts of South Yorkshire and maybe even the
:27:10. > :27:13.Midlands. We could see a centimetre or two of snow. There will be some
:27:14. > :27:17.showers around. With a cold night there will be some icy stretches to
:27:18. > :27:23.look out for first thing. That will pale into insignificance when we
:27:24. > :27:27.talk about what is to come tomorrow. We have another significant area of
:27:28. > :27:31.low pressure already starting to knock on the door of the
:27:32. > :27:36.south-west. That will be accompanied by severe gale force gusts of wins
:27:37. > :27:40.again and some intense rain, particularly moving across southern
:27:41. > :27:44.parts of England and Wales. It will take some time to clear. Once it
:27:45. > :27:48.does we will see plenty of sharp showers. By the middle of the
:27:49. > :27:54.afternoon we will have some clear skies. A little calmer across
:27:55. > :27:58.Northern Ireland and the hills. By the end of the afternoon, into the
:27:59. > :28:05.North West and North Wales, we could see severe gales, perhaps storm
:28:06. > :28:11.force gusts. Look at that intense rain still to clear away across the
:28:12. > :28:17.Essex and Kent coast. We have early amber warnings out. Be prepared for
:28:18. > :28:23.the wind across west facing coasts, 60 to 70 mph gusts. Across North
:28:24. > :28:27.Wales and the Northwest we could see even stronger as the day
:28:28. > :28:31.progresses. A slightly quiet spell on Thursday before we do it all over
:28:32. > :28:38.again as we move towards Friday. Plenty of stormy weather to come.
:28:39. > :28:42.Thank you. Before we go, let me just give you a reminder of our main
:28:43. > :28:45.story. David Cameron says money will be no object in tackling the floods
:28:46. > :28:49.affecting thousands of families. That's all from the team here in
:28:50. > :28:50.Berkshire. Now it's time for the news where you
