:02:23. > :02:29.patient. A fractured wrist is dealt with. Patients are waiting and NHS
:02:30. > :02:32.staff doing the best they can under pressure. The story at Northwick
:02:33. > :02:36.Park Hospital in London is the same as across the service. Things are
:02:37. > :02:40.quiet today but they know bad weather could bring a surge in
:02:41. > :02:45.patients this weekend. This consultant told me it was the
:02:46. > :02:49.busiest she had known in 16 years. There have been moments in the last
:02:50. > :02:53.two weeks like the whole country has had where it has been frightening
:02:54. > :02:57.for members of staff, for doctors, nurses, ambulance crews bringing
:02:58. > :03:01.patients in, and there have been moments where it has been very
:03:02. > :03:07.sticky. But we have managed as best as we can and everybody has worked
:03:08. > :03:12.incredibly hard. Today's figures show that last week 43% of hospitals
:03:13. > :03:17.declared a major alert which means help is required to handle patient
:03:18. > :03:23.numbers or safety is at risk. 16% faced this serious pressure every
:03:24. > :03:27.day last week. We have acknowledged that the NHS is under pressure. We
:03:28. > :03:33.always see increased pressure over winter periods. That is why in
:03:34. > :03:38.preparing for winter ?400 million was put in to ensure winter
:03:39. > :03:43.preparing must. In Northern Ireland, nearly four in ten patients waited
:03:44. > :03:48.more than four hours in A over the Christmas period. In Wales, one in

:03:53. > :03:55.performing better than that and England in the holiday week but at
:03:56. > :03:59.this Glasgow hospital pregnant women were turned away yesterday and sent
:04:00. > :04:02.other maternity units because of a high level of general admissions.

:04:17. > :04:20.They are safe, but there is no room in the Accident Emergency unit for
:04:21. > :04:25.them to be treated or assessed. The hospitals praised the hard work of
:04:26. > :04:28.staff under pressure but they know a prolonged cold snap or a flu
:04:29. > :04:30.outbreak could make life even tougher on the front line. Hugh Pym,
:04:31. > :04:32.BBC News. Thousands of people living

:04:51. > :04:53.the coast here, 17 of them, denote severe flood warnings,
:04:54. > :04:55.which mean there is danger to life. And where you can see a black house
:04:56. > :04:58.inside the triangles, those are 90 flood warnings that

:05:02. > :05:22.Great Yarmouth tonight. Well, Fiona, it is raining and
:05:23. > :05:27.windy. People are still coming to fill sandbags. It is just over three
:05:28. > :05:32.hours until high water in Great Yarmouth, and that is the crucial
:05:33. > :05:36.moment. That is when the high tides will combine with high wind,
:05:37. > :05:40.creating the conditions that could cause severe flooding. It is the
:05:41. > :05:41.moment people up and down the east Coast have spent the day preparing
:05:42. > :05:44.for. From early this morning people
:05:45. > :05:46.in Great Yarmouth braved the cold and snow to prepare for worse,
:05:47. > :05:48.potentially life-threatening, There are some centres
:05:49. > :05:52.on there you can go to. Emergency services knocked
:05:53. > :05:54.on thousands of doors urging people to leave their homes,
:05:55. > :05:56.stay with friends and family or head A little bit worried but this
:05:57. > :06:02.happened a couple of years ago and we got evacuated and it was OK,
:06:03. > :06:04.thankfully, because they Fingers crossed, the Environment
:06:05. > :06:09.Agency have done a good job and build the defences well enough
:06:10. > :06:13.to protect us, but who knows? We live over the road and we do get
:06:14. > :06:18.flooded quite a bit. As long as we've got
:06:19. > :06:20.the sandbags for now, we've moved everything upstairs
:06:21. > :06:22.so it's a waiting game. In Essex, police activated a full
:06:23. > :06:26.evacuation plan at Jaywick, And emergency services were poised
:06:27. > :06:33.to assist anyone in need. Here, this morning's high water
:06:34. > :06:35.was lower than expected but the Environment Agency
:06:36. > :06:37.is warning people not The issue with a storm surge is it
:06:38. > :06:43.really is about the high wind coinciding with what would be
:06:44. > :06:45.high tides anyway. And if you get that,
:06:46. > :06:48.you get really high levels, but it can be changeable
:06:49. > :06:50.through the day. We are forecasting as closely
:06:51. > :06:53.as we can and watching it through but it is really important
:06:54. > :06:56.that people stay alert because some of these high tides will happen very
:06:57. > :06:59.late through tonight. Police in Essex have been
:07:00. > :07:04.urging people to comply with their instructions,
:07:05. > :07:07.to come to centres like this, Some needed less
:07:08. > :07:11.persuasion than others. The moment I knew
:07:12. > :07:14.I had to go, I left. Left my phone behind,
:07:15. > :07:17.everything else, more or less. As long as I was safe,
:07:18. > :07:20.that was all that mattered. 200 troops are now helping
:07:21. > :07:25.with the evacuation operation in Great Yarmouth, where thousands
:07:26. > :07:28.of homes and businesses are facing That risk will peak here, along
:07:29. > :07:35.with high water, at about 9:30pm. People here are doing
:07:36. > :07:37.the best they can to Then, like thousands of others up
:07:38. > :07:41.and down the east coast, Sophie Long, BBC News,
:07:42. > :07:49.Great Yarmouth. High tide is expected
:07:50. > :07:54.there within the next hour. What are the emergency services
:07:55. > :08:08.concerned could happen? Well, there are concerns it will
:08:09. > :08:12.come right up to the defences, but we should look at what it has been
:08:13. > :08:16.doing throughout the afternoon. I tide is the most dangerous time and
:08:17. > :08:19.high tides depends where you are on the east coast. It has already
:08:20. > :08:24.happened in north-east England on the Yorkshire coast. There has been
:08:25. > :08:30.damaging Scarborough and Whitby. High tide here is about 6:45pm. They
:08:31. > :08:34.expect it to reach the defences. Further south, it will not be in
:08:35. > :08:38.Great Yarmouth until about 9pm and in Suffolk and Essex it will be
:08:39. > :08:43.midnight before the waters peak. But look what it has been doing so far.
:08:44. > :08:46.As it comes down the North Sea this afternoon and evening it is getting
:08:47. > :08:50.right up to flood defences and over them in places. It seems the
:08:51. > :08:54.precautions that have been taking place today are well-placed because
:08:55. > :08:58.flood defences down the East Coast tonight are going to be tested, and
:08:59. > :09:00.in places, the water may well get over. Thank you.

:26:09. > :26:11.match could offer a hint at which team will be demanding
:26:12. > :26:13.our attention come May. Snow, people being evacuated on the
:26:14. > :26:34.east coast a lot going on. It is the scene in West Yorkshire at
:26:35. > :26:38.the moment, very wintry and some of that snow has been drifting around
:26:39. > :26:43.courtesy of the blustery wind which is causing problems on the east

:26:58. > :27:05.concerns about conditions, check out the flood line number. Weather-wise,
:27:06. > :27:10.it is cold and if you have snow on the ground you will do in the
:27:11. > :27:13.morning because things are not going to melt overnight. An icy night,
:27:14. > :27:18.further wintry showers in the north and west and some of those will
:27:19. > :27:22.creep in into the Midlands also temperatures close to or below

:27:29. > :27:32.as -10. Another chilly day tomorrow, more wintry showers on the east
:27:33. > :27:39.coast and the gales will continue. Further west, more showers but they
:27:40. > :27:43.will turn back to rain, something a bit milder creeping in to western
:27:44. > :27:47.areas in Northern Ireland and Wales and West of England. Seven or 8
:27:48. > :27:54.degrees. Another chilly day for the East. We have changes afterwards

:28:04. > :28:08.a fair bit of rain. It will stall across more eastern areas with wet
:28:09. > :28:13.weather and a raw day in eastern counties with that cold air hard to
:28:14. > :28:17.dislodge, just four or five. Further west it will get milder and a bit
:28:18. > :28:18.dry up with temperatures reaching 10 degrees.
