:00:00. > :00:00.As more stormy weather is forecast tonight,

:00:07. > :00:09.a warning that people in parts of northern England could face

:00:10. > :00:15.Urgent work is underway to repair flood defences,

:00:16. > :00:17.as the north-west of England and southern Scotland are said

:00:18. > :00:21.It looks like storm after storm is coming,

:00:22. > :00:26.and, if that happens, there may well be floods again.

:00:27. > :00:29.In the town of Tadcaster in north Yorkshire, the main bridge has

:00:30. > :00:33.collapsed following the severe flooding.

:00:34. > :00:36.And in York, during the day, people have been assessing

:00:37. > :00:42.the damage caused in their city by the recent floods.

:00:43. > :00:45.Also today, a would-be suicide bomber and his wife have been found

:00:46. > :00:52.guilty of planning a terror attack in London earlier this year.

:00:53. > :00:55.And, worldwide, tributes to Lemmy of Motorhead.

:00:56. > :01:19.His admirers say he was "one of the last true rock stars".

:01:20. > :01:23.People in the north-west of England, already affected by flooding,

:01:24. > :01:26.have been warned that they could face a "very bad situation"

:01:27. > :01:28.with the arrival of another storm tonight.

:01:29. > :01:30.The extreme weather could also affect people in southern

:01:31. > :01:39.As well as parts of Wales and Northern Ireland.

:01:40. > :01:42.During the day, the people of York have been assessing the damage

:01:43. > :01:44.caused in their city by the severe flooding.

:01:45. > :01:47.So let's join our correspondent Jeremy Cooke who is there this

:01:48. > :01:55.Let's start off that is that the water levels that

:01:56. > :01:57.were about up to here yesterday, as you can see, have dramatically

:01:58. > :02:00.dropped during the course of the day. That means for this

:02:01. > :02:04.bed-and-breakfast business, other residents around here, it has been a

:02:05. > :02:08.day of clearing out and assessing the damage and what has been lost.

:02:09. > :02:13.But I have to say, this area is still surrounded by water, and it is

:02:14. > :02:19.still having a very serious impact. Tonight, after days of resisting the

:02:20. > :02:22.tolerant, the bridge over the river wealth in Tadcaster finally,

:02:23. > :02:29.dramatically, succumbed, collapsing into the water below. The impact of

:02:30. > :02:34.these floods will be felt by this community for months to come. It is

:02:35. > :02:39.all a reminder that this is not over yet. Despite today's sunshine,

:02:40. > :02:46.communities along the river whose still fighting to hold back the

:02:47. > :02:50.water -- the River Ouse. The ancient city of York struggling to emerge

:02:51. > :02:54.from the worst floods in years. Flying over all of this water in

:02:55. > :02:58.this kind of weather looks dramatic and spectacular, and even quite

:02:59. > :03:01.beautiful, but what you realise, of course, is that it is down there on

:03:02. > :03:08.the ground, down in places like Huntington Road, that things are

:03:09. > :03:15.very ugly. The flood has left its mark here. That is the how is it got

:03:16. > :03:20.too on Boxing Day. Jason and Jack, among those returning home for the

:03:21. > :03:26.1st time. Their beekeeping business lost to the rising waters. It keeps

:03:27. > :03:30.you up at night, you just keep cycling through your head. I haven't

:03:31. > :03:35.been able to sleep, it is terrible. You have just got to keep smiling.

:03:36. > :03:41.Around the corner, it is all hands to the pumps for the Felt family.

:03:42. > :03:47.Calculating what has been lost and of course the insurance. We may not

:03:48. > :03:51.claim on it, we need to look what is the best thing to do, if it is

:03:52. > :03:55.better not to claim and clean it up. York is coming out of this disaster.

:03:56. > :04:00.Look at the difference 24 hours has made. But, as the waters retreat,

:04:01. > :04:05.the questions for ministers keep coming. We have spent an incredible

:04:06. > :04:08.amount of money on flood defences over the last 10 years, we will

:04:09. > :04:13.again over the next 6, but if more needs to happen, more needs to

:04:14. > :04:17.happen. The focus here now is all about cleaning up and moving on,

:04:18. > :04:22.throwing out what has been destroyed and facing the future. The worst of

:04:23. > :04:25.it is being homeless. I can't tell you how money offers we have had of

:04:26. > :04:32.homes and everything, but you just want your own. Would it be rotten of

:04:33. > :04:38.me to say happy New Year? No, I'm hoping once this is over, next year

:04:39. > :04:43.is my new start. For a feud, a very few, there is actually fun to be had

:04:44. > :04:47.here. For most, though, it is a matter of holding on, waiting for

:04:48. > :04:56.the great flood of 2015 to pass into history. Back to the news that the

:04:57. > :05:00.bridge in Tadcaster has collapsed, 1 of the bridges, we have an update

:05:01. > :05:04.from the environment agency and they say there is now a danger that there

:05:05. > :05:08.will be significant flooding as a result in the area. Those in the

:05:09. > :05:19.area, it says, are advised to evacuate immediately. The situation

:05:20. > :05:22.is serious and there is a serious threat to life.

:05:23. > :05:24.Let's stay in York, because one of the city's most popular

:05:25. > :05:26.attractions, the Jorvik Viking Centre, has been badly affected

:05:27. > :05:29.by the floods, and closed to visitors.

:05:30. > :05:31.They managed to save their most valuable exhibits, some

:05:32. > :05:34.of which date back to the 9th century, but there's no plan yet

:05:35. > :05:40.to reopen, as our correspondent Fiona Trott reports.

:05:41. > :05:45.How does it make you feel, Sarah, looking at the museum like this?

:05:46. > :05:50.It is fairly depressing really, it is upsetting.

:05:51. > :05:53.The Jorvik Centre attracts 400,000 visitors to this

:05:54. > :06:08.What it means going forwards at the moment we have to get rid

:06:09. > :06:11.of all this water that is the next thing, and just see

:06:12. > :06:14.How are you going to do that, it is really deep?

:06:15. > :06:17.Yes, we have got to find some bumps, but of

:06:18. > :06:19.course the pumps of York are all active at the moment,

:06:20. > :06:22.so we are waiting to actually get hold of some

:06:23. > :06:24.pumps and start pumping out as the rivers go down to actually

:06:25. > :06:28.Across town, at a secret location, items

:06:29. > :06:33.rescued from the museum are carefully counted.

:06:34. > :06:37.This one is especially special to us, because it

:06:38. > :06:39.is a Viking age sock, the only Viking age sock found

:06:40. > :06:42.These are priceless, it is a representation

:06:43. > :06:44.of a significant part of York and the

:06:45. > :06:50.A Viking period over 1,000 years old, superb

:06:51. > :06:55.artefacts not represented anywhere else in the country

:06:56. > :06:59.Finally, what the museum has been waiting for,

:07:00. > :07:03.a pump has arrived, and there would have been

:07:04. > :07:07.even more water if it wasn't for quick thinking staff.

:07:08. > :07:10.Basically, a member of staff noticed that water

:07:11. > :07:13.could potentially come into the centre so we decided

:07:14. > :07:17.to take this fire door off, put it into place and seal it

:07:18. > :07:19.with silicon and bitumen, and it bought us a great

:07:20. > :07:25.It will take time to this museum to get back on its feet.

:07:26. > :07:27.Right now, they are assessing what needs to be repaired and replaced.

:07:28. > :07:37.Just one part of this historic city that is counting the cost.

:07:38. > :07:39.As we heard, ministers have warned of a "very bad situation"

:07:40. > :07:42.in some areas, as Storm Frank is expected to sweep

:07:43. > :07:44.across the north-west of England and southern Scotland

:07:45. > :07:45.later this evening, bringing significant rainfall,

:07:46. > :07:54.Parts of Wales and Northern Ireland are also likely to be affected.

:07:55. > :08:03.Our correspondent Robert Hall reports from Croston in Lancashire.

:08:04. > :08:10.In a farmyard on the outskirts of Croston, there was some good news

:08:11. > :08:13.this afternoon. The call had gone out for more science to supply the

:08:14. > :08:15.team of villagers who have been working in shifts to provide

:08:16. > :08:21.households with some protection against another incoming storm. As

:08:22. > :08:27.dusk fell, the call was answered, 50 tonnes donated by local companies.

:08:28. > :08:34.How long has the operation been going on? Since 9am. Do you have any

:08:35. > :08:41.idea when you are through? No! People will be glad to see you when

:08:42. > :08:46.you get there. Very much so. The muddy water of the river Yarrow now

:08:47. > :08:50.closely pollute behind these cottages but the evidence of its

:08:51. > :08:55.assault on the village lies all along the streets. A chaotic mess of

:08:56. > :09:00.carpets, furniture and belongings. The Jones family had lit a fire to

:09:01. > :09:04.bring just a touch of homeliness to their damp front room. They have

:09:05. > :09:08.coped with two floods. Now they fear Storm Frank may bring a third. If

:09:09. > :09:13.we're going to be flooded again, it is better than in six months' time

:09:14. > :09:19.when houses had put back to the shed that they were in beforehand. And so

:09:20. > :09:24.there is a degree of resignation as to what the next 48 hours might

:09:25. > :09:27.bring. A few doors down, evidence of the way in which people here are

:09:28. > :09:33.providing help and comfort when they are most needed. I am from the W I,

:09:34. > :09:35.this young lady is from the next village, we are all helping each

:09:36. > :09:40.other. Because Paul wrote Sarah found out today she is not insured.

:09:41. > :09:45.And there is no shortage of volunteers. The offers of donations

:09:46. > :09:48.keep coming. There have been donations coming in from all across

:09:49. > :09:53.the village, the list of people to thank is just endless. We don't want

:09:54. > :09:57.to miss anyone. It has just been overwhelming. Across the fields, a

:09:58. > :10:02.chin at helicopter ferried 400 tonnes of sand bags to repair a

:10:03. > :10:05.breach in local flood defences that before repairs hold, the risk to

:10:06. > :10:11.Croston may be lessened but in the light of the last few days, no one

:10:12. > :10:14.is taking anything for granted. This is Croston sports Centre, normally a

:10:15. > :10:20.social focus for the village forced up since the flood, it has been an

:10:21. > :10:24.aid centre. Donations around me here to help people dry out their houses.

:10:25. > :10:27.It has fed hundreds of people, it is providing a space for families to

:10:28. > :10:31.come to sleep, to bring their families so that they don't have to

:10:32. > :10:34.remain as long as perhaps they would have two in their flooded homes. If

:10:35. > :10:41.there is one thing about all this event, despite the suffering and the

:10:42. > :10:43.loss that is being experienced in this village that people River

:10:44. > :10:53.member, it is the generosity of those around them. -- that people

:10:54. > :11:06.will remember. Now the day's other news.

:11:07. > :11:09.A would-be suicide bomber -- and his wife -- have been found

:11:10. > :11:12.guilty of planning a terror attack in London earlier this year --

:11:13. > :11:14.to coincide with the 10th anniversary --

:11:15. > :11:17.Mohammed Rehman -- who called himself the Silent Bomber

:11:18. > :11:19.-- had stockpiled the chemicals needed to make a bomb --

:11:20. > :11:23.Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy has more details.

:11:24. > :11:25.A back garden in Reading, Mohammed Rehman tests his explosive

:11:26. > :11:28.The bang was so large it brought neighbours out.

:11:29. > :11:31.Mohammed Rahman had made his test device with the help of Sana Khan,

:11:32. > :11:35.the woman he had married in secret and whose salary they used to buy

:11:36. > :11:38.Mohammed Rehman lived with his parents, who did not

:11:39. > :11:40.want their faces shown, but told me they had no

:11:41. > :11:43.idea their son had been involved in a terrorist plot.

:11:44. > :11:48.When I heard I thought, oh my God, what if he'd done that,

:11:49. > :11:54.you know, made the mistake and done it somewhere else.

:11:55. > :12:01.A lot of people would be in danger and lost their lives.

:12:02. > :12:05.The court heard the prosecution said that he was two days or so away

:12:06. > :12:07.from having a proper bomb and that could have caused

:12:08. > :12:15.I'm really grateful to the police that they came in time

:12:16. > :12:20.and saved our lives and everyone else's lives.

:12:21. > :12:30.Rehman and Khan bought chemicals and other equipment online.

:12:31. > :12:33.The pair idolised so-called Islamic State and the 7/7 bombers

:12:34. > :12:40.On Twitter Mohammed Rehman called himself the Silent Bomber and asked,

:12:41. > :12:43."Westfield shopping centre or London Underground?

:12:44. > :12:47.Any advice would be appreciated greatly."

:12:48. > :12:51.A hint, say police, of his possible targets.

:12:52. > :12:54.I still cannot believe that he is my son and he is doing

:12:55. > :13:06.Police believe Rehman and Khan both wanted to play their part

:13:07. > :13:13.The couple, who didn't tell their families they had

:13:14. > :13:15.married, and who also plotted to surprise the world

:13:16. > :13:28.Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Reading.

:13:29. > :13:32.And 81 New Rd woman who died at a care home yesterday is thought to

:13:33. > :13:36.have been shot dead by her husband, who is 86 the stop Rita King was

:13:37. > :13:42.killed at her home. The weapon was recovered from the scene.

:13:43. > :13:45.Cricket, and England are closing in on victory against South Africa

:13:46. > :13:49.Needing a record 416 runs to win, the home side ended

:13:50. > :13:56.Our sports correpondent, Andy Swiss, reports.

:13:57. > :14:00.Blue skies and bright prospects, England began the day already

:14:01. > :14:04.with a hefty lead and it soon got heftier.

:14:05. > :14:07.Joe Root's touch as tantalising as ever.

:14:08. > :14:11.Root eventually went for 73, soon followed by Ben Stokes.

:14:12. > :14:19.Jonny Bairstow offering the Durban crowd some festive catching

:14:20. > :14:21.practice, but as he flexed his muscles, so England

:14:22. > :14:23.stretched their advantage, setting South Africa a mammoth

:14:24. > :14:30.They'd need the greatest run chase in their history,

:14:31. > :14:34.but the unlikely soon seemed unthinkable.

:14:35. > :14:37.Stokes with a beauty to account for Stiaan van Zyl.

:14:38. > :14:40.As South Africa seemed to be swishing their way to defeat,

:14:41. > :14:43.Steve Finn with two quick wickets, including the hosts' first innings

:14:44. > :14:51.Bairstow missing the most glaring of stumpings,

:14:52. > :14:54.but just before the close Finn struck again and,

:14:55. > :14:57.with one day to go, victory is now firmly within their grasp.

:14:58. > :15:04.Music stars around the world have been paying tribute to Lemmy,

:15:05. > :15:06.for decades the frontman of heavy rock band Motorhead,

:15:07. > :15:27.who has died of cancer at the age of 70.

:15:28. > :15:28.Fast, raucous, loud - that was Motorhead.

:15:29. > :15:30.Their bassist and singer, Lemmy, every inch the grizzled rock

:15:31. > :15:40.All very different to one of his first bands, 60s group,

:15:41. > :15:50.# Chatting up the ladies...# # I, I just took in a ride on a silver

:15:51. > :15:53.machine...# He went on to join Hawkwind, supplying the vocals

:15:54. > :16:02.They tried everybody else singing it, except me,

:16:03. > :16:08.Then they had to ask me to try it because nobody else could do it.

:16:09. > :16:23.Ejected from Hawkwind, he formed Motorhead.

:16:24. > :16:26.Decades later, the line-up may have changed, but Lemmy remained

:16:27. > :16:28.at the helm throughout, still playing to thousands

:16:29. > :16:40.as recently as this year's Glastonbury.

:16:41. > :16:43.They may not have been to everyone's taste,

:16:44. > :16:46.but they're regarded as a key British band.

:16:47. > :17:03.The style he played his bass guitar was very unique.

:17:04. > :17:05.You know, it was fast and it was ugly and distorted

:17:06. > :17:08.and that kind of characterised Motorhead sound, but it also went

:17:09. > :17:11.on to influence so many different other kind of types of music

:17:12. > :17:27.For decades he embraced all aspects of excess, drink, drugs. McGreat

:17:28. > :17:32.balls of fire... # Fellow musicians have been paying

:17:33. > :17:45.tribute. Ozzy Osbourne described him as a "warrior and legend."

:17:46. > :17:50.Fans across the globe will also miss a man who was undoubtedly one of

:17:51. > :17:55.rocks great characters. The tributes to Lemmy Kilmister,

:17:56. > :17:59.who has died at the age of 70. There's more throughout the evening
