This is BBC News. The headlines: A couple who used the Twitter name | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Silent Bomber to ask for advice on carrying out a London suicide | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
bombing have been found guilty of plotting a terror attack. Emergency | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
services have been told to prepare for more possible flooding in the | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
north of England. Storm Frank is expected to bring gales and heavy | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
rain in south-west Scotland and parts of Cumbria. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Looking at all of this water from this height it's easy to think it | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
looks spectacular, dramatic, even quite beautiful, but what we have to | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
remember is that it's down there on the ground that things get really | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
ugly. This is the scene in north Yorkshire | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
at the town of Tadcaster why a 300-year-old stone bridge has | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
collapsed. An RAF chinook helicopter has helped shore up the banks of the | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
River Douglas in Lancashire. In Syria, an Islamic State leader with | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
direct links to the ringleader of the Paris attacks has been killed by | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
US strikes. Snowstorms and blizzards batter the United States, killing | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
over 40 people in the past five days and leaving thousands without power. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
The music world pays tribute to Lemmy of Motorhead who's died at the | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
age of 70. His bandmates said he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
cancer on Boxing Day. They urge fans to play his music loud. And England | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
are well on their way to beating South Africa in the first Test in | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Durban, needing just six more wickets on tomorrow's final day. | :01:47. | :02:04. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC News. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
A married couple have been found guilty of planning to carry out | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
suicide bomb attacks that could have rivalled 7/7. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Mohammed Rehman and Sana Ahmed Khan had been charged with planning | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
The court heard that using the Twitter user name | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
"Silent Bomber" they asked for advice on London targets | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
to attack, including Westfield Shopping centre | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The trial had heard that they were within two days | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
of having a working bomb before they were arrested. | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
A back garden in Reading and Mohammed Rehman tests his | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
The bang was so large it brought neighbours out. | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
Mohammed Rehman had made his test device with the help of Sana Khan, | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the woman he married in secret, and whose salary they used to buy | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Mohammed Rehman lived with his parents. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
They didn't want their faces shown, but told me they had no | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
idea their son had been involved in a terrorist plot. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
When I heard that, I thought oh my god, what if he had done that | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
for, you know, made the mistake and done it somewhere else? | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
A lot of people would be in danger and lost their lives. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
The court heard the prosecution say that he was two days | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
or so from having a proper bomb and that could have caused | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
I'm really grateful to the police that they came on time | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
and saved our lives and everyone else's lives. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Rehman and Khan bought chemicals and other equipment online, | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
the pair idolised so-called Islamic State and the bombers | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Did his character change in recent months? | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Because he was too much into the computers and somebody | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
Somebody must have put him on the wrong track. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
On Twitter Mohammed Rehman called himself the Silent Bomber and asked, | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
"Westfield shopping centre or London Underground? | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Any advice would be appreciated greatly." | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
A hint, say police, of his possible targets. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
What have Mohammed's actions done to you and your family? | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Oh, heartbreaking and he just makes us really want to hate him. | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
I still can't believe that he is my son and he's doing | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Police believe Rehman and Khan wanted to play their part | :04:53. | :05:06. | |
The couple, who didn't tell their families, | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
they had married and who also plotted to surprise the world | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Those verdicts came through at the Old Bailey earlier. Let's go there | :05:15. | :05:29. | |
now and our correspondent has been following the case. I suppose people | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
watching that report will be struck by how close these two came to | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
having a workable bomb. You are right. In fact, I think but for the | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
very heavy Twitter presence that Mohammed Rehman had, it's unlikely | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
that the police have have been alerted when they were about what | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
was being planned. The fact is he made himself very clear on Twitter, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
his Twitter handle was Silent Bomber, he used a profile picture of | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Jihadi John, the man we have seen execute so many western hostages | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
before he too was killed. So his intentions were really very clear. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
He said in various messages that he was prepared to strap on explosives | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
to his chest once he worked out how big the bomb needed to be. He said | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
that he was planning a martyrdom operation and he put out that tweet | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
saying Westfield shopping centre or London underground, any advice | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
greatly appreciated. It was no surprise when the verdict came back | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
of guilty for him today, given he Telegraphed so clearly what he was | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
preparing to do on social media. Guilty verdicts today. Reaction from | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
the CPS and the police. When do we get sentencing? The sentencing | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
hearing will start here at the Old Bailey tomorrow. The judge will | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
begin that process tomorrow. It could take a day or two. We will | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
probably get some sense of that tomorrow. The sentence itself may | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
not come tomorrow, it might be the next day, depending on how long the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
process lasts. For what they've been convicted of, the possible maximum | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
sentence is a life sentence, so it's taken extremely seriously, even | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
though the attack they were planning thankfully was not carried out. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Thank you. Storm Frank is due to hit northern | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
parts of the UK tonight, bringing the risk of yet | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
more flooding misery. Cumbria and south and central | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Scotland are the most at risk. The Floods Minister Rory Stewart has | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
said he's very concerned and has urged members of the emergency | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
services to rest, to be ready for what he said could be | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
a very bad situation. There are currently three | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
severe flood warnings - meaning danger to life in place | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
in the north of England, mainly centred around York, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
from where Fiona Trott Hundreds of homes evacuated, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
many more without heat and light. Floodwater can recede | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
in a matter of hours, but it takes months for homes | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
and businesses to recover. How does it make you feel, Sarah, | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
looking at the museum like this? The Jorvik Viking Centre gets | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
400,000 visitors a year. They don't know | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
when they'll re-open. We managed to get all | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
of the artefacts removed so that was all the viking-age, | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
the ninth and tenth century objects which are irreplaceable | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
out of the centre. It was hundreds of objects | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
from the only remaining Viking sock that we think or the shoes, | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
the home wares or the jewellery, the precious items we managed | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
to get out using the team In another part of the city, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
cleaning has already started Guests had to be evacuated | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
through a back window when the Environment Agency | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
opened a flood barrier. The pumps failed because of | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
the record river levels. Why wasn't there any | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
contingency plan? Why before you actually lifted it | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
up, did you not come round an hour beforehand, tell everybody, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
bring sandbags, at least give Commuters are being kept away | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
from parts of York today. The Floods Minister says | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
the Government is doing all it can for the city and other | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
cities in the north. If we have to spend more, | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
we'll have to spend more. We're going to look at this, | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
very, very carefully. It is a horrendous thing that | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
people are going through. We have spent an incredible amount | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
of money on flood defences over the last ten years and we will over | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
the next six, but if more needs Back at the Jorvik Centre | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
they don't know how much It will take a long time | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
to assess the damage - just one part of this historic city | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
that's counting the cost. In Tadcaster in North Yorkshire, | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
a bridge has collapsed into the River Wharf | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
and there are concerns that a gas There had been fears about the | :09:59. | :10:12. | |
bridge. It had been closed to traffic and to pedestrians since the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
flooding on Boxing Day. However, during the day it was clear that the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
bridge was looking iffy, I think you could say. A short time ago suddenly | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
it collapsed on the eastern edge and there are concerns too that collapse | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
may have severed a gas main. People certainly have been able to smell | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
gas near the bridge. For now, we have all been evacuated away from | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
the area about 150 metres up Bridge Street to a junction. People here | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
are gathered. The police are in attendance. We are waiting to see | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
whether there is any gas problems. Gas engineers, I have seen vans | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
arriving, so that's the situation at the moment. But it's really | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
difficult here in Tadcaster, the town is dissected by the river and | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
the bridge is a vital link. They've been unable to cross it since | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
flooding on Boxing Day and obviously the collapse of the bridge means | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
that difficulty will continue for some weeks to come. It's an example | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
of not just the devastation that the floods have caused to people's | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
homes, but the sheer force of the water in these conditions and what | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
it can do. Yes, that's right. Certainly the real surge was on | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Boxing Day, that's when the flooding happened and the levels here rose | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
and higher than in living memory. The river here does run past homes | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
that are used to flooding and expect it, but they've had water go into | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
hair houses where they never have before, even in serious floods in | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
previous years. -- their houses. They did know the bridge had been | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
damaged, which is why they closed it. The irony is in some ways it's | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
been clear today the flood waters are receding, the level is going | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
down, but obviously the damage perhaps was done a couple of days | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
ago and what's hopped now is just the inevitable consequence of the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
damage done on Boxing Day. -- what's happened. There's now a severe flood | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
warning in Tadcaster as a result of that bridge collapse. Significant | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
flooding is expected in the area. Those in the area are advised to | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
evacuate immediately as Ben Ando was saying. The situation is described | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
as serious and there is a significant risk to life, which is | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
what a severe flood warning means. And the instruction is that people | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
should follow the advice of the emergency services and officials in | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
the area. Let's bring you up to date on the wider picture. On the line is | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Doug Wilson, director of scientific and evidence services at the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Environment Agency. What is the picture this evening? Good evening. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
Over the last couple of days we have actually seen river levels falling, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
as a result of the dry weather we have had. Even places like Selby and | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
York which have taken sometime, we have now seen those levels have | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
peaked and are starting to recede. As we heard before, still very much | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
an evolving situation. Our teams have been out today inspecting | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
assets and repairing defences with good support from the Army. What we | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
are expecting over the course of this evening and into tomorrow is | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
another weather front coming in which will bring some rain with it. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
We are expecting the heaviest rain to be in Lancashire and also | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Cumbria. But we are looking there at up to 40 milimetres in Lancashire | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
and maybe 60 in couple playia. Nowhere near the levels we are | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
expecting to see previously -- Cumbria. This is Storm Frank you are | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
talking about? Exactly, yes. You talked about the levels there being | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
less than people had to endure before, sufficiently less for you to | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
be reasonably confident that people will not be flooded again? No, we | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
can't say that. The ground is very wet already, rivers will respond and | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
there is a risk of some isolated flooding and travel disruption, as | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
well. We have issued, still have severe flood warnings out which | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
means there is a risk to life and we also have other warnings. What we | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
will be asking people is to keep an eye on the Environment Agency | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
website and contact our floodline number to keep up to date with the | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
situation. With regards to people in their homes tonight who fear Storm | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Frank drawing near, is there anything they can usefully do beyond | :14:49. | :15:01. | |
following the advice online? Well, they can use our floodline number to | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
get the most up to date information there and any advice as well if | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
people are concerned, but really it's then taking the advice there in | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
terms of warnings and if people are concerned to make contact. Thank | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
you. An assessment there of the current | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
picture and the impact that Storm Frank may have in south-west | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Scotland and Cumbria and Lancashire later on. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
The headlines: A couple who used the Twitter name Silent Bomber to ask | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
for advice on carrying out a London suicide bombing have been found | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
guilty of plotting an act of terror. The Floods Minister warns of a very | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
bad situation for flood-hit residents, Cumbria, Lancashire and | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
southern and central Scotland are most at risk from the anticipated | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
arrival of Storm Frank. An Islamic State leader with direct | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
links to the ringleader of the Paris attacks has been killed by US | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
strikes in Syria. Now all the sport. Tributes are being paid today | :16:03. | :16:20. | |
to the former Newcastle United and Czech Republic goalkeeper | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
Pavel Serni-check, who has died Srnicek was in an induced coma | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
since having a cardiac arrest last week, and his agent confirmed that | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
a decision was taken to switch off his life support | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
machine earlier today. Former Newcastle striker | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
Alan Shearer wrote on Twitter that he's "so very sad to lose my friend | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
and former teammate," while fellow keeper Peter Schmeichel said | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
described Serni-check as a gentleman Leicester could return to the top | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
of the Premier League tonight Claudio Ranieri's side suffered | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
only their second defeat of the season at | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Liverpool on Boxing Day. Speaking after that loss, | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Ranieri was already focusing on bouncing back at the King | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Power Stadium tonight. Now it's important to recover | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
energy and more mental, because after match there is another | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
match, a big challenge. It's OK, sooner or later | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
we must lose, have to lose. They are top of the table | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
because they deserve, they have important players | :17:12. | :17:24. | |
in a very good moment It's not easy for Leicester to beat | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Liverpool, that's why we had confidence that when we had to play | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
with them maybe we can Now we have an important game | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
and to finish the first round of the fixture we have | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
to play 63 points more, that's why I say that December | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
you never win the title. Everton forward Steven Naismith is | :17:48. | :18:00. | |
set to join Premier League rivals Norwich in an ?8 million deal next | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
month. He started only four league match this is season but scored a | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
hat trick after coming on as a substitute against Chelsea in | :18:08. | :18:08. | |

at the number of fixtures changed for live coverage, | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
with owner Massimo Chelino claiming Leeds would have been | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
charged with misconduct by the Football League if they had | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
carried out the ban. England head into tomorrow's final | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
day of the first Test against South Africa needing six | :18:33. | :18:34. | |

their second innings after lunch today in dur lan. | :18:45. | :18:48. | |

Test team in the world, were set the highest ever chase | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
at Kingsmead to save the match. Three wickets from Steven Finn | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
reduced the hosts to 136-4 at the close, still 280 | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
runs behind England. They've still some high | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
quality players to come, Obviously, De Villiers would be | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
a big one to get because he is such We come back tomorrow | :19:06. | :19:16. | |
with six wickets to get, as long as we get six and for less | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
runs than what we have British number three Kyle Edmund has | :19:21. | :19:23. | |

outside automatic qualification when the entry lists | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
were released earlier this month. But world number nine Gasquet has | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
now pulled out with a back injury. Edmund made his Davis Cup debut | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
for Great Britain in their victory over Belgium in | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
the final last month. That's all the sport. I will be back | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
later. Snowstorms, blizzards and tornadoes | :19:53. | :20:05. | |
are causing severe disruption across parts of the South | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
and Midwest United States. Extreme weather over the last few | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
days has killed at least 40 people. ABC News's, Clayton Sandell, | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
sent this report from Oklahoma. The Midwest is in a blinding | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
weather bull's-eye. Drivers in Des Moines are sliding | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
off icy slick pavement Those managing to stay | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
on the road and the ploughs Sleet and snow snarling traffic | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
from Kalamazoo to Kansas. People off in a ditch, | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
a couple just stuck on the side In Oklahoma, the Governor has | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
declared a state of emergency There's flooding in the east | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
and, farther west... an ice storm is causing | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
the big rigs to slide, Nearly 200,000 homes | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
are without electricity. Power lines everywhere, | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
including these, are dead. There are so many power outages | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
here in Oklahoma because freezing rain came in overnight | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
and deposited heavy icicles Add in the high winds and these | :21:03. | :21:03. | |
poles are no match for that In Amarillo, Texas, | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
along Interstate 40, snowdrifts bury big rigs, | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
and in New Mexico entire houses. Near Clovis, a 12-foot snowdrift | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
trapped Betty and Jimmy Anderson in their car as they delivered | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
newspapers, entombed for 20 hours until rescuers broke | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
the windshield to free them. My wife was shaking, | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
the driver's seat was full of snow. This is Interstate 40 just west | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
of Oklahoma City and you can see behind me one of many wrecks, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
two trucks pulling two trailers went sliding off this icy highway, | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
rolling several times. Luckily, no one here was seriously | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
injured but it gives you an idea of how dangerous driving conditions | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
are in a lot of places. American military officials say ten | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
members of the Islamic State group have been killed in the last month - | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
including two who had direct links with the alleged ringleader | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
of the Paris attacks. Charaffe al Mouadan - | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
who is said to have been planning more attacks against the west - | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
died in an air strike in Syria Abdul Qader Hakim died two days | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
later and military commanders gave December 26th, Abdul Hakim, another | :22:23. | :22:42. | |
Isil external operations facilitator, he was killed in Mosul. | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
He was a veteran fighter, a forgery specialist and had links to the | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
Paris attack network. He was part of Isil's e ternl operations group who | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
enabled attacks against western targets. -- eternal. His death | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
removes an important facilitator with many connections. | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
Belgian police have arrested two people suspected of planning attacks | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
in Brussels on New Year's Eve Raids took place in Brussels | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
and the provinces of Flemish Brabant and Liege. | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
Police seized military clothing and computer equipment in the raids, | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Lemmy - the frontman of the British heavy metal band Motorhead - | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
He'd been diagnosed with cancer on Boxing Day. | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
The band said they could not express their shock | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
But they encouraged fans to celebrate his life | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Lizo Mzimba looks back at his career. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Fast, raucous, loud, no one sounded or looked quite | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
like Motorhead or their bassist and singer Lemmy, every inch | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
Grinding out hit after deafeningly-loud hit. | :23:47. | :23:59. | |
All very different to one of his first bands, '60s group | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
A few years later he joined rock band Hawkwind, supplying the vocals | :24:05. | :24:17. | |
They tried everyone else singing it except me. | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
They had to ask me to try it because nobody else could do it. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
No-one else could reach the high notes. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
After being ejected from Hawkwind he formed Motorhead. | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
After a faltering start they recorded their breakthrough album. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
The title track became their anthem and they never looked back. | :24:37. | :24:50. | |
The line-ups may have changed over the years but 40 years | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
after he created the group, Motorhead and Lemmy were playing | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
to thousands as recently as the summer's Glastonbury. | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
For decades he embraced all aspects of rock style excess. | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Some days you do not feel like it as much as others, | :25:09. | :25:20. | |
but I'm sure that is the same in plumbing. | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
Fellow musicians have been paying tribute. | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
Ozzy Osbourne described him as a warrior and a legend. | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
Gene Simmons said, "Rest in peace, Lemmy." | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Many more will miss one of rock's great characters. | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
The next 24 hours are going to see more potentially damaging winds but | :25:45. | :25:54. | |
more heavy disruptive rainfall. It's this area of cloud that's been | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
developing into the latest storm that's responsible for all the wet | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
and windy weather. Because it's a very deep area of low pressure it's | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
getting steered up towards Iceland. We will miss the eye of the storm | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
but we will still have gales or severe gales and a spell of heavy | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
rain too. The winds are starting to pick up through this evening as the | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
rain begins to arrive. Gusts of 70, 80mph in the Outer Hebrides. But | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
it's the rain that's the main concern. We have an amber rain | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
warning from The Met Office. Be prepared warning, it's for Northern | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
Ireland initially where we see the rain arriving, 60 milimetres over | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
hills. Could get double that as it spreads to the south-west of | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
Scotland and across Cumbria. Four inches of rain or more over the | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
hills. Further south we will see heavy rain developing over the hills | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
of Wales and for the south-west of England. By the morning the winds | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
will have dropped in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. The | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
rain beginning to clear away from western Scotland. It should be dryer | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
in Northern Ireland. We will have this band of heavier rain pushing | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
slowly eastwards into eastern England allowing Scotland and Wales | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
and western parts of England to become dryer through the afternoon. | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Temperatures double figures, it's mild air, but it's wet air once | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
again. That rain is going to cling on to eastern parts of England into | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
tomorrow evening. Once that clears, behind that weather front we will | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
introduce a showery air stream, particularly focussed on that band | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
there. Behind that cold air just in time for the clocks to strike | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
midnight. For New Year's Eve, during the day, for most in the morning, | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
particularly the east, it's a dry and sunny picture. We will see bands | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
of showers gathering in the west pushing across the country during | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
the afternoon, they could be heavy and snow over northern hills. It's | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
going to feel colder across the northern half of the UK. | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
Temperatures falling away even further by midnight. Close to | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
freezing in Edinburgh and Belfast, if you are going to be out and | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
about. At least it should be fine and dry. Different from what we will | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
experience in the next 24 hours. Still severe flood warnings. There | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
is the floodline number and the latest is also online. | :28:07. | :28:11. |
