And, tributes to one of the last true rock stars, Lemmy of Motorhead,

who's died suddenly at the age of 70.

People in the north-west of England, already affected by flooding,

have been warned that they could face a very bad situation

with the arrival of another storm tonight.

The extreme weather could also affect people in southern

and central Scotland, as well as parts of Wales

This evening, troops were brought in to help evacuate residents

from the town of Tadcaster, in Lancashire, where a bridge

Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke is there tonight.

Yes, the Army and the police still a visible sight on the streets of

Tadcaster tonight. Dozen of people still not allowed to return to their

homes. All of this because of dramatic events just a few hundred

yards away just a few hours ago. Tonight, after three days

of resisting the torrent, the bridge over the River Wharf

in Tadcaster finally, Amid the destruction a gas main

was fractured and that triggered the immediate evacuation

of dozens of homes. A bitter blow for those who have

already suffered three days We've just been evacuated

from our home, that's just the culmination of three days

of absolute devastation. It's all a reminder

that is this is not over yet. Despite today's sunshine,

communities along the River Ouse are still fighting to

hold back the water. The ancient city of York struggling

to emerge from the worst Flying over all of this water

in this kind of weather looks dramatic and spectacular,

and even quite beautiful, but what you realise,

of course, is that it's down there on the ground,

down in places like Huntingdon Road Jason and Jack among those returning

home for the first time. Their beekeeping business lost

to the rising waters. York is coming out of this disaster,

look at the difference 24 But, as the waters retreat,

the questions for Ministers keep We have spent an incredible amount

of money on flood defences over But if more needs to happen,

more needs to happen. The focus here now is all

about cleaning up and moving on, throwing out what's been destroyed

and facing the future. I can't tell you how many offers

we have had of homes and everything, Would it be rotten of me

to say happy new year? I am hoping that once this is over

next year's my new start. For a few - a very few -

there is actually fun For most, though, it's

a matter of holding on, waiting for the great flood of 2015

to pass into history. The people in this part of Yorkshire

very much hope that the worst is over and all eyes now on the weather

forecast. Already tonight we have had some fresh rainfall here.

Thank you for the latest in Tadcaster.

Storm Frank is expected to sweep across the north-west of England

later tonight and tomorrow, bringing significant rainfall

Parts of Wales and Northern Ireland are also likely to be affected.

Our correspondent Robert Hall is in Croston in Lancashire.

We can join him now. The wind is beginning to gust here

and another storm brings two threats to this community. The first runs

under here, it's the River Yarrow which rose over Christmas to flood

dozens of homes. The second is behind that police road block, it's

a damaged flood bank. Today efforts have been going on to repair that

damage and in Croston it instead of the clean-up has paused as

householders brace themselves for more heartache.

Nine hours of back-breaking work and the calls for sandbags

How long has the operation been going on for here?

In this farmyard on the outskirts of Croston, 50 volunteers have been

working in shifts to meet the demands of villagers

Today, the Yarrow flowed sleepily behind Croston's pretty terraced

cottages but the evidence of its Christmas assault

A chaotic mess of carpets, furniture and personal belongings.

The Jones family had lit a fire to bring some warmth

Now they fear Storm Frank may bring a third.

As the days go on and the magnitude of what's about to face us becomes

clear, then it becomes really like a process of mourning,

Across the road, one of Richard's neighbours is philosophical

Obviously, the forecast is a bit concerning but it's at the point now

if it happens again we've already flooded, so really we are just

putting sandbags back in place to fact as a filter if it's a more

Across the fields, the thud of rotors heralding the arrival

of a Chinook rushing 400 tonnes of sandbags to a wide breach

Engineers hope they've done just enough to protect the village.

In the face of a new threat, villagers are turning to each other.

Hundreds have found food and rest at Croston Sports Club

where organisers have been overwhelmed by the local

I am calling them heroes, that's the word we are tagging on Facebook.

Tonight, there is another reassuring presence.

Emergency services here in strength and ready to react.

Everyone hopes they will have a quiet night.

Parts of Scotland are also preparing for torrential rain and gale-force

winds and the Met Office has issued a warning all mainland regions,

Let's join our correspondent Kevin Keane who's

Tell us about the conditions there, Kevin. Well, the wind is already

very strong here. It started raining about an hour ago. The bulk of that

rainfall, the highest levels of it, are expected to begin from just

after midnight onwards. In the 12-24 hours that follows, we are expecting

up to 150 milimetres of it to fall here in Dumfries and Galloway. Many

areas of Scotland will experience large volumes of rain but not quite

as much as they're expecting here. This is the river at normal levels

and it's expected to rise rapidly to a point at about 11.00am tomorrow

morning when it will flood. It's not unusual for it to flood here and

when it does it tends to fill all of this area and affect many of the

properties across the road there. They're well used to it. They've

flood gates up and sandbags but the expectation this time is that they

will overtop those sandbags and flood into the properties. There is

then a storm surge expected from the sea about two hours later, so

everyone here is hoping for the best, but very much fearing the

worst. Thank you very much. And for regular updates online

has been charged with the murder of Rita King, who was 81,

at a care home in Essex yesterday. Mrs King is thought to have been

shot dead by her husband A weapon was recovered

from the scene. A would-be suicide bomber

and his wife have been found guilty of planning a terror attack

in London earlier this year, to coincide with the 10th

anniversary of the July 7th Mohammed Rehman, who called

himself the Silent Bomber, had stockpiled the chemicals needed

to make a bomb at his family Our correspondent Duncan

Kennedy has more details. A back garden in Reading,

Mohammed Rehman tests his explosive The bang was so large it

brought neighbours out. Mohammed Rehman had made his test

device with the help of Sana Khan, the woman he had married in secret

and whose salary they used to buy Mohammed Rehman lived

with his parents, who did not want their faces shown,

but told me they had no idea their son had been involved

in a terrorist plot. When I heard I thought, oh my God,

what if he'd done that, you know, made the mistake

and done it somewhere else. A lot of people would be in danger

and lost their lives. The court heard the prosecution said

that he was two days or so away from having a proper

bomb and that could have I'm really grateful to the police

that they came in time and saved our lives

and everyone else's lives. Rehman and Khan bought chemicals

and other equipment online. The pair idolised so-called

Islamic State and the 7/7 bombers On Twitter, Mohammed Rehman called

himself the Silent Bomber and asked, "Westfield shopping centre

or London Underground? Any advice would be

appreciated greatly." A hint, say police,

of his possible targets. I still cannot believe

that he is my son and he is doing Police believe Rehman and Khan both

wanted to play their part The couple, who didn't

tell their families they had married, and who also plotted

to surprise the world Duncan Kennedy, BBC

News, in Reading. More than a million migrants

and refugees have now arrived in Europe by sea this year,

according to the UN Refugee Agency. Half of those are fleeing the war

in Syria and many arrived Almost 4,000 men, women

and children are thought to have died or went missing

during the crossing. Iraq's prime minister has

visited the city of Ramadi, a day after it was recaptured

from so-called Islamic State. He promised to defeat

the extremist group, saying they'd be forced out of Iraq

within the next year. Football and Leicester City have

missed out on the chance to return They were held to a goalless draw

by Manchester City at home. Top scorer Jamie Vardy had several

chances but for the second successive game they

were unable to score. Cricket, and England are closing

in on victory against South Africa Needing a record 416 runs to win,

the home side ended Our sports correspondent

Andy Swiss reports. Blue skies and bright prospects,

England began the day already with a hefty lead and

it soon got heftier. Joe Root's touch as

tantalising as ever. Root eventually went for 73,

soon followed by Ben Stokes. Jonny Bairstow offering the Durban

crowd some festive catching practice, but as he flexed

his muscles, so England stretched their advantage,

setting South Africa a mammoth They'd need the greatest run

chase in their history, but the unlikely soon

seemed unthinkable. Stokes with a beauty

to account for Stiaan van Zyl. As South Africa seemed to be

swishing their way to defeat, Steve Finn with two quick wickets,

including the hosts' first innings Bairstow missing the most

glaring of stumpings, but just before the close

Finn struck again and, with one day to go, victory is now

firmly within their grasp. Music stars and fans

around the world have been paying tribute to Lemmy,

for decades the frontman of heavy rock band Motorhead,

who has died of cancer He formed the band in 1975

and recorded 22 albums, Our correspondent Lizo Mzimba

looks back at his career. Fast, raucous, loud -

that was Motorhead. Their bassist and singer, Lemmy,

every inch the grizzled rock All very different to one

of his first bands, 60s group, # I, I just took in a ride

on a silver machine #. He went on to join Hawkwind,

supplying the vocals They tried everybody else

singing it, except me, Then they had to ask me to try it

because nobody else could do it. Ejected from Hawkwind,

he formed Motorhead. # Playing for the high one,

dancing with the devil, # Going with the flow,

it's all the game to me #. Decades later, the line-up may have

changed, but Lemmy remained at the helm throughout,

still playing to thousands as recently as this

year's Glastonbury. # You know I'm born to lose,

and gambling's for fools, # But that's the way

I like it baby #. They may not have been

to everyone's taste, but they're regarded

as a key British band. The style he played his bass guitar

was very kind of unique. You know, it was fast

and it was ugly and it was distorted and that kind of characterised

Motorhead's sound, but it also went on to influence so many different

other kind of types of music For decades he embraced

all aspects of rock excess, perhaps mellowing though in later

years as he approached the role # You shake my nerves

and you rattle my brain. # You broke my will,

oh what a thrill. # Goodness gracious,

great balls of fire #. Fellow musicians have

been paying tribute. Ozzy Osbourne described him

as a "warrior and legend." Metallica said, "Lemmy

was one of the primary And, Alice Cooper said,

"he was one of a kind, innovative, true to

his art and an icon." # Motorhead, you can call me

Motorhead, alright #. Fans across the globe will also miss

a man who was undoubtedly one The tributes to Lemmy,

who has died at the age of 70. You can follow the latest
