:00:00. > :00:08.The latest IS video - security officers try to identify

:00:09. > :00:14.The man in the video says Britain will be invaded -

:00:15. > :00:19.the Prime Minister dismisses it as propaganda.

:00:20. > :00:21.This is an organisation that is losing territory,

:00:22. > :00:25.it's losing ground, I think increasingly

:00:26. > :00:28.And this shows again what an appalling organisation we're

:00:29. > :00:35.Tonight we hear from the sister of one British suspect.

:00:36. > :00:38.The town split in two by the floods - it could be a year before

:00:39. > :00:45.Dozens of flood warnings for Scotland - forecasters say

:00:46. > :00:51.Junior doctors in England are set to go on strike next week

:00:52. > :00:55.after talks with the government break down.

:00:56. > :00:59.And what's in a name - why calling this ancient Welsh farm

:01:00. > :01:03.Happy Donkey Hill has left some campaigners angry.

:01:04. > :01:09.People try and clean-up and count the cost of the damage

:01:10. > :01:15.And a castle in Aberdeenshire is left on the brink of collapse

:01:16. > :01:44.David Cameron has dismissed a video featuring a suspected British

:01:45. > :01:47.Intelligence officials are trying to identify the masked man

:01:48. > :01:49.in the footage, issued by the so-called Islamic State group

:01:50. > :01:53.A child speaking English is also seen in the video,

:01:54. > :01:55.before five captives - thought to be Syrian -

:01:56. > :01:58.Tonight we hear from the sister of one British suspect.

:01:59. > :02:06.Our security correnspondent Gordon Corera reports.

:02:07. > :02:14.Bit latest propaganda video from the group calling itself the Islamic

:02:15. > :02:18.State. A masked killer taunting Britain and addressing the Prime

:02:19. > :02:24.Minister, all in a British accent. How strange that a leader of a small

:02:25. > :02:29.island threatens us with a handful of planes. The Prime Minister gave

:02:30. > :02:36.his response. It is desperate stuff from an organisation that really

:02:37. > :02:42.does do the most utterly despicable and ghastly acts and people can see

:02:43. > :02:47.that again today. This organisation is losing territory and ground. This

:02:48. > :02:52.film in some ways is not unusual. Part of the stream of propaganda

:02:53. > :02:56.directed at different countries. The videos are often brutal and

:02:57. > :03:02.sometimes feature children. A child as young as five who might be

:03:03. > :03:08.British is in the latest video. IS has lost some ground recently. For

:03:09. > :03:13.instance here in Ramadi. Experts are not sure this video is really a sign

:03:14. > :03:17.they are in retreat. Islamic State is here as part of the landscape and

:03:18. > :03:23.will be around for a number of years. The idea of the group is

:03:24. > :03:28.desperate and is putting out videos is misreading the situation. At MI5

:03:29. > :03:33.headquarters analysts will have spent the last 24 hours poring over

:03:34. > :03:37.every detail of the video, comparing it to details they have all file

:03:38. > :03:43.about known jihadists, to confirm the killers identity. Hundreds of

:03:44. > :03:51.Britons are in Syria but speculation focused on this man today, who fled

:03:52. > :03:56.Britain on police bail in 2014. Tonight a former associate told the

:03:57. > :04:02.BBC they had no doubt the voice was his. His sister told the BBC she at

:04:03. > :04:08.first thought it was him, but is now less sure. I was in a state of

:04:09. > :04:12.shock. I believe the audio to resemble from what I remember the

:04:13. > :04:19.voice of my brother. I think having viewed the short video in detail I

:04:20. > :04:25.was not entirely convinced. Which put me at ease. Whoever hears, the

:04:26. > :04:31.man seems to try to emulate Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed Jihadi John and

:04:32. > :04:36.killed in November. Mohammed Emwazi was tracked down in Sangin with the

:04:37. > :04:42.help of informers and it is IS's fear of them at the heart of this

:04:43. > :04:43.video, as five men alleged to be spies are showing killed. Another

:04:44. > :04:57.sign of brutality in life under IS. How far are they from confirming the

:04:58. > :05:01.identity of this man? There has been speculation of the identity of the

:05:02. > :05:05.killer and also the child in the video at people who claim to know

:05:06. > :05:09.them have said they think it is a certain person. In both cases based

:05:10. > :05:16.on either the way the child looks all the voice of the man, but that

:05:17. > :05:19.has not been confirmed. Security services have done voiceprint

:05:20. > :05:23.analysis to look at the voice and match it up with voices they have

:05:24. > :05:28.from previous videos and files. It is not the sort of thing that

:05:29. > :05:34.happens quickly to get confirmation. Less than 24 hours since the video

:05:35. > :05:39.came out. If you look at Jihadi John, it took months before there

:05:40. > :05:43.was confirmation of his identity as Mohammed Emwazi. I do not think the

:05:44. > :05:49.security services will want to go public unless they have Toumi

:05:50. > :05:53.confirmation, because this is a live investigation into the individual,

:05:54. > :05:55.and they do not want to have a running public commentary about it.

:05:56. > :05:58.As flood victims in the north of England continue to count

:05:59. > :06:00.the cost of the severe weather over Christmas,

:06:01. > :06:04.residents in one north Yorkshire town are complaining not enough

:06:05. > :06:07.is being done to repair a crucial bridge.

:06:08. > :06:09.The bridge at Tadcaster collapsed last week -

:06:10. > :06:11.the government described its restoration as a 'national

:06:12. > :06:17.Currently - with the bridge gone - if you want to travel from the West

:06:18. > :06:20.of the town to the East there is a ten mile journey

:06:21. > :06:23.which goes via the A64 and takes around 25 minutes.

:06:24. > :06:31.Danny Savage joins us now from Tadcaster.

:06:32. > :06:38.At this time on a weekday evening the bridge over the river in

:06:39. > :06:43.Tadcaster would normally be busy with traffic and pedestrians, but

:06:44. > :06:48.instead it is deserted, destroyed by the floods. When the government said

:06:49. > :06:51.it was a national priority to fix it, people rightly or wrongly

:06:52. > :06:53.thought it would be a quick fix. As we found out today, that is not the

:06:54. > :06:55.case. When this bridge collapsed just

:06:56. > :06:58.after Christmas no one was hurt, but nearly everybody

:06:59. > :07:00.in Tadcaster was It is not just the effects

:07:01. > :07:10.of flooding being dealt with, families and friends

:07:11. > :07:13.have been separated. It definitely needs

:07:14. > :07:16.something across the river. Me and my sister and her husband had

:07:17. > :07:19.a conversation over the river We were shouting at each other over

:07:20. > :07:25.the river because that was one Last week the government

:07:26. > :07:33.made this pledge. One thing I am here to say

:07:34. > :07:36.in Tadcaster is the fact it is a national priority

:07:37. > :07:38.to get the bridge How much of your trade

:07:39. > :07:41.came across the bridge? 50% of trade on one

:07:42. > :07:44.side, 50% on the other. There is growing frustration

:07:45. > :07:48.about the commitment. A few days ago a government

:07:49. > :07:50.minister said the bridge Myself, basically, to get working

:07:51. > :08:06.on it as quickly as possible. One option dismissed today

:08:07. > :08:13.as impractical is for the Army to build a bridge like

:08:14. > :08:16.it did in Workington Tadcaster may well get a foot

:08:17. > :08:26.bridge, but the timetable is vague. It may be 50 metres

:08:27. > :08:28.across the river in Tadcaster from one side to the other,

:08:29. > :08:32.but if you wanted to get from a house on that side

:08:33. > :08:36.to the only doctors in town on this side, it is at least

:08:37. > :08:40.a ten-mile drive. Even that surgery is

:08:41. > :08:42.a mess after the floods. But a bridge is what

:08:43. > :08:44.they really want. It is not like a big

:08:45. > :08:46.city where there is another bridge further along,

:08:47. > :08:49.like in London, a few hundred yards there is another bridge,

:08:50. > :08:52.it is not like that. This afternoon the

:08:53. > :09:01.doctor set up surgery in a room in a chemist

:09:02. > :09:04.on the other side of town. There is a shuttle bus service

:09:05. > :09:12.for the 20-mile round trip. Whatever happens, it looks

:09:13. > :09:23.like the solution is in weeks rather Meanwhile heavy rain and strong

:09:24. > :09:29.winds are continuing to batter parts Our Scotland Correspondent Lorna

:09:30. > :09:47.Gordon is in Aberdeenshire. I can see how wet it is. Our people

:09:48. > :09:53.prepared for this? This has been a prolonged period of heavy rain, but

:09:54. > :09:58.it has not been as bad as last week. Taken together, it has been a

:09:59. > :10:08.miserable few days in Scotland and particularly in the north-east. One

:10:09. > :10:14.sign of the damage caused, you need look no further than the Castle

:10:15. > :10:21.behind me, standing a few feet from the River Dee, after a huge piece of

:10:22. > :10:24.river bank by the Castle fell into the water. The owners have had to

:10:25. > :10:31.leave the castle, which is surrounded by Balmoral and the Baron

:10:32. > :10:36.is said to be too distressed to speak. There has been localised

:10:37. > :10:41.flooding in Angus and Aberdeenshire and some homes have been flooded and

:10:42. > :10:48.a care home had to be evacuated. Downstream from the River Dee, a

:10:49. > :10:53.caravan park has been widely destroyed because of flooding. The

:10:54. > :10:57.flood defences in places like Ballater after widespread flooding

:10:58. > :11:01.last week seem largely to have held this time. That is little comfort to

:11:02. > :11:06.people whose homes were destroyed last week. It will be many months

:11:07. > :11:09.probably before they are allowed to return home.

:11:10. > :11:12.The first full day of share trading around the globe in 2016 has seen

:11:13. > :11:15.significant falls in markets prompted by losses in China.

:11:16. > :11:21.The market in Shangai was suspended today after share prices fell

:11:22. > :11:27.London and Frankfurt also tumbled, and the New York stock exchange

:11:28. > :11:31.And new figures show shoppers increased their borrowing

:11:32. > :11:42.by the largest amount in nearly 8 years as the Christmas

:11:43. > :11:45.In November, credit obtained through overdrafts, personal loans

:11:46. > :11:48.and credit cards rose by ?1.5 billion to ?180 billion -

:11:49. > :11:50.that's according to the Bank of England.

:11:51. > :11:52.It's the biggest increase since February 2008.

:11:53. > :11:56.Thousands of junior doctors across England are set to go

:11:57. > :11:59.on strike after talks broke down with the Government over

:12:00. > :12:06.The British Medical Association said its members would provide

:12:07. > :12:07.emergency care only from 8am next Tuesday -

:12:08. > :12:09.with more strikes scheduled in the coming weeks.

:12:10. > :12:12.Let's go live to our health editor Hugh Pym outside the headquarters

:12:13. > :12:28.Can this strike be averted? I think it is still possible. It is possible

:12:29. > :12:34.talks will get going again, even with the BMA calling these three

:12:35. > :12:39.strikes for junior doctors in England, the first next Tuesday,

:12:40. > :12:43.affecting nonemergency care, something similar later in January

:12:44. > :12:46.and one early in fabric, affecting all forms of care including

:12:47. > :12:51.emergencies, which has not happened in the history of the NHS. The

:12:52. > :12:55.Health Secretary in the last 15 minutes said while he is

:12:56. > :12:59.disappointed to hear this, he has said he wants the conciliation

:13:00. > :13:04.service to get involved to try to carry on the process. ACAS were

:13:05. > :13:12.involved in late November trying to get both sides around the table,

:13:13. > :13:14.which was successful. The BMA said it is not against further talks, but

:13:15. > :13:17.the fact they have called these strikes shows they feel there is

:13:18. > :13:18.distance between them and the employers which is ratcheted up the

:13:19. > :13:21.saga. A number of Arab nations have joined

:13:22. > :13:25.the Sunni Muslim kingdom of Saudi Arabia in taking diplomatic

:13:26. > :13:27.action against Iran, following a row between the two

:13:28. > :13:29.countries over the execution on Saturday of a

:13:30. > :13:34.prominent Shia critic. The death of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr

:13:35. > :13:38.prompted an attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and

:13:39. > :13:40.similar protests by Shia communities elsewhere

:13:41. > :13:41.in the Middle East. Here's our Chief International

:13:42. > :13:59.Correspondent Lyse Doucet. In Tehran today, more angry protests

:14:00. > :14:03.over the execution of a leading Shia cleric. His image now rises from the

:14:04. > :14:08.growing crowd is taking to the streets across the region in Shia

:14:09. > :14:15.communities. He was known for his fiery speeches in defence of

:14:16. > :14:21.minority Shia writes. He was executed on Saturday for sedition

:14:22. > :14:24.and violence. A verdict the Saudi Justice Ministry defended in a rare

:14:25. > :14:31.interview. He speaks with simultaneous translation.

:14:32. > :14:36.TRANSLATION: As a spokesman I am not concerned with the other voices as a

:14:37. > :14:42.judicial power, or judicial branch, we execute, we apply Sharia law

:14:43. > :14:51.according to fax we see in front of us. But the voices grow louder. In

:14:52. > :15:00.Iraq, the follow-up was violent. Two Sunni mosques were attacked and one

:15:01. > :15:07.person killed in retaliation. Saudi Arabia has ordered all Iranian had a

:15:08. > :15:12.match to leave. Even Sudan in North Africa cut ties. The roots of the

:15:13. > :15:15.divide go back centuries to a seventh century battle about who

:15:16. > :15:21.should lead to the Muslim community after the death of the Prophet

:15:22. > :15:26.Muhammad. It split the faith into two branches, Sunni and Shia

:15:27. > :15:33.Islamist. And then the issue became intensely political with a run's

:15:34. > :15:37.1979 Islamic revolution. Iran's pledge to export its revolution

:15:38. > :15:42.threatened neighbours. With last year's historic deal to dismantle

:15:43. > :15:43.its nuclear programme, Iran was slowly returning to the diplomatic

:15:44. > :15:50.fold. They had just been persuaded by the

:15:51. > :15:54.Americans that they should both be at the table to resolve the Syria

:15:55. > :15:58.crisis and now the possibility of resolving the crisis is reduced.

:15:59. > :16:05.That is bad enough but if this escalates, and there is some kind of

:16:06. > :16:11.war directly between Iran and Saudi Arabia, currently it is a proxy war,

:16:12. > :16:16.then we have to worry hugely. Iran and Saudi Arabia are on opposing

:16:17. > :16:21.sides in the region's most destructive wars in Syria and Yemen.

:16:22. > :16:28.Last year ended with cautious hope in negotiation. This year has begun

:16:29. > :16:32.with growing fear that the entire region is being dragged into an even

:16:33. > :16:38.greater crisis. Our top story this evening. David

:16:39. > :16:42.Cameron dismisses the latest video from so-called Islamic State as

:16:43. > :16:47.desperate stuff as security officers try to identify the suspected

:16:48. > :16:50.British jihadist that appears in it. And still to come, they would have

:16:51. > :16:58.thought this youngster would be cricket's man of the moment? And

:16:59. > :17:05.coming up on Reporting Scotland, 18 months after being diagnosed with

:17:06. > :17:08.motor neuron disease, Gordon Aikman is fighting for better patient care.

:17:09. > :17:20.And Gary Anderson is once again crowned World Champion.

:17:21. > :17:23.David Cameron says his government is "pulling out all the stops"

:17:24. > :17:25.by giving smaller developers the chance to buy publicly-owned

:17:26. > :17:30.The Government has a commitment to build a million

:17:31. > :17:36.In the last financial year, just under 125,000 homes were completed.

:17:37. > :17:40.Now David Cameron says he's trying something new.-

:17:41. > :17:44.13,000 homes to be built on publicly owned land. Labour says the

:17:45. > :18:01.initiative is a drop in the ocean. The prime minister is directly

:18:02. > :18:05.commissioning and building thousands of homes for sale, part of a

:18:06. > :18:11.conservative vision to renew Britain has a home owning democracy. I want

:18:12. > :18:16.us to build a million homes by 2020 and that means more affordable homes

:18:17. > :18:20.to buy, more starter homes, more homes for people to get on the

:18:21. > :18:27.housing ladder with. Today, we are making big announcements. But how

:18:28. > :18:33.big is today's direct state house building announcement? 20,000 more

:18:34. > :18:37.new houses started every month. In post-war Britain, the government

:18:38. > :18:46.itself funded and built huge numbers of council homes, peaking in the mid

:18:47. > :18:50.60s and 100,000 houses a year. But today's announcement is not a direct

:18:51. > :18:54.state building. The government is not expected to pay for or building

:18:55. > :18:59.new houses. Instead public land will be sold to private construction

:19:00. > :19:06.firms for them to build and sell houses for private buyers for

:19:07. > :19:10.profit. What is new is that on five publicly owned sites, including this

:19:11. > :19:13.large development in London, land will be divided into small plots

:19:14. > :19:19.with planning permission already agreed. The hope is that smaller

:19:20. > :19:22.construction companies will be encouraged to build homes that

:19:23. > :19:28.larger house builders have so far proved reluctant to take on. I have

:19:29. > :19:32.seen no evidence that these large public sector sites cannot be

:19:33. > :19:36.delivered by the big names. I am not sure that this is going to produce

:19:37. > :19:41.any more houses than the government were already intent on producing.

:19:42. > :19:44.40% of the government commission homes must be affordable, but David

:19:45. > :19:48.King, who campaigns for affordable housing, says that under the

:19:49. > :19:52.official definition, that simply means they must be sold at up to 80%

:19:53. > :19:58.of market prices, and around the West London site, the average home

:19:59. > :20:02.sells for just under ?1 million. House prices have been increasing

:20:03. > :20:04.astronomically over the last few years so affordable here means

:20:05. > :20:09.something that it would take 50 years for somebody to pay off as a

:20:10. > :20:13.mortgage, or to take a big risk in getting a deposit together. Downing

:20:14. > :20:16.Street says that the announcement is the first wave of direct

:20:17. > :20:20.commissioning, a sign of government rolling its sleeves up and getting

:20:21. > :20:23.homes built. It is also a sign of ministerial frustration that the

:20:24. > :20:30.market will not deliver the homes that Britain needs.

:20:31. > :20:33.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is understood to be holding talks

:20:34. > :20:35.with shadow cabinet members as part of a reshuffle.

:20:36. > :20:37.It's thought a new line-up could be announced tomorrow -

:20:38. > :20:40.Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is in Westminster.

:20:41. > :20:48.There has been plenty of comment about a possible reshuffle. What is

:20:49. > :20:51.going on in? Silence from Jeremy Corbyn's team tonight, they have

:20:52. > :20:57.been holed up in Westminster all day even though most MPs are yet to

:20:58. > :21:02.return. Reshuffles are always messy and certainly a risky thing to do.

:21:03. > :21:07.But after some public disagreements with some of his top team, most

:21:08. > :21:11.notably over the idea of air strikes in Syria, Jeremy Corbyn's team

:21:12. > :21:14.decided it was time for some new and different faces around the Shadow

:21:15. > :21:20.Cabinet table, most likely to be either moving out or moving into a

:21:21. > :21:23.different job, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, Hilary Benn, and

:21:24. > :21:27.passionately supported bombing Syria, in complete opposition to

:21:28. > :21:32.Jeremy Corbyn's on position. As I understand it, the men are meeting

:21:33. > :21:38.right now, and it is unclear which way this is actually going to go.

:21:39. > :21:41.There are always risks in moves like this. Moving in moderate like Hilary

:21:42. > :21:45.Benn might provoke others to follow him out of the door. One Shadow

:21:46. > :21:49.Cabinet minister told me it could trigger a domino effect and another

:21:50. > :21:53.senior Labour figure suggested there would have to be a climb-down or

:21:54. > :21:57.else there would be catastrophe. It is unclear what the final line-up

:21:58. > :22:02.will look like but one thing is clear, Jeremy Corbyn's big idea,

:22:03. > :22:06.what he described as a new kind of politics, where it was OK and

:22:07. > :22:11.sustainable for people to disagree in public, that idea has been tested

:22:12. > :22:15.and maybe he has found it is not realistic. As the political year

:22:16. > :22:23.begins, that new kind of politics is already feeling old.

:22:24. > :22:26.Well, there's no doubt who cricket's man of the moment is.

:22:27. > :22:28.Yesterday's record-breaking innings of 258 by Ben Stokes

:22:29. > :22:30.in the second test against South Africa

:22:31. > :22:33.is being hailed as one of the finest performances of any English batsman.

:22:34. > :22:42.The eyes of the cricketing world on one man. Ben Stokes, back in action

:22:43. > :22:46.this morning, hoping to do with the ball what he did so unforgettably

:22:47. > :22:52.with the bat. Down the wicket he comes. Has he got enough? Yes, he

:22:53. > :22:59.does. Rarely has sport scene and more destructive display. Records

:23:00. > :23:03.smashed out of sight. The second fastest test doubles century ever.

:23:04. > :23:09.And why? Simply to keep his cool. I was concentrating on hitting more

:23:10. > :23:15.boundaries than running twos. As I say, I cannot describe or put into

:23:16. > :23:21.words what I have done. This journey to stardom has been an eventful one.

:23:22. > :23:25.He lived in New Zealand until he was 12, where his cricket playing mother

:23:26. > :23:30.nurtured his talent, even before he was born. She was still playing

:23:31. > :23:38.cricket, right up until a couple of months before he was born. Yes, I

:23:39. > :23:41.think she should take the credit for that one! England's previous fastest

:23:42. > :23:50.double hundred had belonged to this man. Straight into the confectionery

:23:51. > :23:54.stall and out again. Ian Botham's heroics captured a generation, and

:23:55. > :23:58.some believe that all action all-rounder now has a worthy

:23:59. > :24:02.successor. There will be a lot of bars emptying as soon as people here

:24:03. > :24:06.that he has arrived at the wicket. He is exactly what the team needs

:24:07. > :24:10.and exactly what English cricket needs. We have found a few heroes in

:24:11. > :24:15.the England team but I think we have found a superstar in Ben Stokes.

:24:16. > :24:22.Today, it was back down-to-earth. No wickets for Ben Stokes as South

:24:23. > :24:24.Africa dominated but still plenty to smile about. The feel-good factor

:24:25. > :24:32.from one of cricket's most remarkable innings.

:24:33. > :24:35.Campaigners in Wales are calling for a new law to protect historic

:24:36. > :24:37.place names after dozens of houses, farms and local landmarks were given

:24:38. > :24:45.and an island now known as Sausage Island.

:24:46. > :24:54.Giving guests a taste of rural life, all creatures great and small. Kate

:24:55. > :25:00.believes that the name she has given her farm fits perfectly. That is

:25:01. > :25:04.Vera the donkey. She is very happy. Happy down the Hill is on a West

:25:05. > :25:11.Wales farmstead which dates back to the 13 hundredths. For centuries, it

:25:12. > :25:15.had a different name, which is still written at the entrance, but that is

:25:16. > :25:20.not the name Kate uses for the business. People can spell it, they

:25:21. > :25:23.cannot say it properly and they definitely cannot remember it. In

:25:24. > :25:27.the world of internet marketing, you need something that people are going

:25:28. > :25:30.to remember. People have heard of Coca-Cola or Jesus, but it does not

:25:31. > :25:35.mean they have to like them. They all know who it is. What name you

:25:36. > :25:38.give the place has always been a political decision. We have found

:25:39. > :25:45.plenty of landmarks where the name seems to be changing. For example,

:25:46. > :25:51.on Anglesey, if I can find it, there is a beach that has become better

:25:52. > :25:55.known as Cable Bay, because that is where the Telegraph cable connects

:25:56. > :26:03.with Ireland. Also in Snowdonia, one of the highest mountain valleys has

:26:04. > :26:07.been called nameless Cwm by some because they cannot pronounce the

:26:08. > :26:10.name. In the Brecon Beacons, this hill has become known as the

:26:11. > :26:24.sleeping giant to some people, much to the consternation of campaigners.

:26:25. > :26:28.This island, Ynya Las, has been recorded very early on. It would be

:26:29. > :26:32.a green Island? Yes, yes. Local campaigners want a new law to stop

:26:33. > :26:36.changes. They are concerned that new names border on the ridiculous.

:26:37. > :26:44.There is a group of people who have come in, who collects Sausage

:26:45. > :26:49.Island. I am almost reluctant to use the word because these names can

:26:50. > :26:53.stick very easily. -- who call it. Kate is adamant that she has done

:26:54. > :26:56.nothing wrong. The Welsh government says it will consider legal

:26:57. > :27:00.protection for place names but it could be hard to enforce and so for

:27:01. > :27:08.now, she and her donkeys remain happy on this Hill. Time for a look

:27:09. > :27:13.at the weather. Hugh is John Hammond. What we desperately need is

:27:14. > :27:20.a settled spell. Crisp, dry weather. This is the sort we are seeing. This

:27:21. > :27:26.picture, taken from the South of Scotland. Conditions are even worse.

:27:27. > :27:29.There are is some serious flooding likely to occur across parts of

:27:30. > :27:35.eastern Scotland with particular concern across the river they and in

:27:36. > :27:41.Perth. Water levels continuing to rise. The next 24 hours will see

:27:42. > :27:45.further persistent rain. With time, north-eastern parts of England could

:27:46. > :27:49.see persistent rain, too. Keeping a close eye on this part of the world.

:27:50. > :28:00.Heavy torrential downpour as elsewhere. -- downpours. In between,

:28:01. > :28:05.some places becoming dry. As the windfalls liked, we could see

:28:06. > :28:08.patches of fog developing and local temperatures as low as three

:28:09. > :28:13.degrees. Tomorrow sees more rain across eastern Scotland and more

:28:14. > :28:17.mountain snow. North-east England, turning wet. Elsewhere, once the fog

:28:18. > :28:21.has lifted, some sunshine. The negative is that there will be

:28:22. > :28:27.further heavy downpours across parts of Wales and south-west England.

:28:28. > :28:32.Some downpours across the heart of Wales. Temperatures knocking on

:28:33. > :28:38.double figures elsewhere. Further north, the wind is stronger and the

:28:39. > :28:43.temperatures are lower. There will be more rain, especially across

:28:44. > :28:47.parts of eastern Scotland. Just a heads up, on Wednesday morning, we

:28:48. > :28:53.could well have a problem with fog across parts of south-east England.

:28:54. > :28:54.Back to you, George. And that
