:00:07. > :00:11.Welcome to BBC Points West on the day the West Country got a soaking.
:00:12. > :00:17.I'm in the centre of Bristol where the River Avon burst its banks for
:00:18. > :00:20.the first time in years. It happened at high tide causing
:00:21. > :00:29.this spectacular splash in the harbour but the defences held.
:00:30. > :00:32.It is incredible, I have never seen anything quite like it. In Somerset
:00:33. > :00:39.the coastline took a battering as the tide rose by 14 metres with
:00:40. > :00:43.waves crashing into the front. One of the highest tides of the year
:00:44. > :00:49.is what is causing this. But bad though it has been for some people
:00:50. > :00:50.it could be a whole lot worse if the winds had been stronger and in a
:00:51. > :01:00.different direction. In other news tonight, unions fear
:01:01. > :01:04.jobs could be at risk as a major aircraft deals collapses.
:01:05. > :01:05.And the Somerset volleyball player competing at the sport's highest
:01:06. > :01:19.level. Hello. The West Country held its
:01:20. > :01:25.breath this morning as high tides, wind and rain combined to create a
:01:26. > :01:29.perfect storm. The Environment Agency had warned that in some
:01:30. > :01:36.places there was a risk to life and property but events turned out to
:01:37. > :01:38.slightly kinder than feared. Some properties in Somerset and
:01:39. > :01:45.Gloucestershire were flooded but here in Bristol a new defence system
:01:46. > :01:49.held. We have reports from across the West Country, but first this
:01:50. > :02:00.from Scott Ellis who on this spot at dawn.
:02:01. > :02:11.Bristol, at 8am, then, against a rising River Avon. The tide is about
:02:12. > :02:15.30 minutes away from the critical point. As you can see over there it
:02:16. > :02:21.is already overlapping the cycle path. It will be very close indeed.
:02:22. > :02:25.The city deployed its flood barrier for the first time. Without it,
:02:26. > :02:30.houses close to the Avon would flood. It is quite worrying,
:02:31. > :02:35.obviously we have prepared our houses as much as we can, we are
:02:36. > :02:38.glad we have got this defensive Obviously it is quite scary. It
:02:39. > :02:44.looks quite dramatic if you live here. Quite worrying. Half an hour
:02:45. > :02:50.later roads had to be closed, as the incoming tide raised the River Avon
:02:51. > :02:55.to its highest levels for 15 years. In the Cumberland basin water
:02:56. > :02:59.spilled back into the floating Harbour.
:03:00. > :03:03.I have been in Bristol nearly 2 years and I don't think I have ever
:03:04. > :03:09.seen anything like it. To think that is stopping the water coming into
:03:10. > :03:13.the Bristol docks is incredible The flood barrier did its job,
:03:14. > :03:20.saving homes from floods. They will stay in place over the weekend. As
:03:21. > :03:26.the tide receded a sigh of relief. And in Weston`super`Mare the clear
:03:27. > :03:31.up of wood, rubbish and seaweed washed in on the morning tide
:03:32. > :03:40.height. I am just amazed, never seen anything like it. It is crazy. Have
:03:41. > :03:48.you found anything valuable? Not yet.
:03:49. > :03:52.The seafront road in Weston`super`Mare had to close for
:03:53. > :03:56.about an hour but here, as in Bristol, no serious flooding damage.
:03:57. > :04:04.But there is more high tides, wind and rain to come.
:04:05. > :04:08.There certainly is more high tides to come. We will be talking about
:04:09. > :04:12.that a bit later. Flooding in Bristol is very rare and
:04:13. > :04:15.that's because a lot of work has been done to improve defences. Take
:04:16. > :04:21.a look at these pictures from 1 68, some of the worst flooding in the
:04:22. > :04:24.city's history. If you are a Bristolian then you might remember
:04:25. > :04:27.the night the Avon flooded large parts of the South, some people were
:04:28. > :04:33.killed, and many homes were evacuated. Because of that, the
:04:34. > :04:44.river Frome was re`routed through a tunnel under the city, and it now
:04:45. > :04:47.rarely floods. I'm joined by Simon Creed, who is in charge of civil
:04:48. > :04:54.protection in Bristol, it's his job to keep us safe. We saw something
:04:55. > :04:58.going on on the docks, but by and large were you pleased with the way
:04:59. > :05:02.things worked out? Yes, the predictions of what we had
:05:03. > :05:07.received, it was spot on. We were able to manage the water quite well.
:05:08. > :05:15.How close were we to having something worse?
:05:16. > :05:17.If there have been another half a metre that would have caused us
:05:18. > :05:22.problems but we didn't get that That is due to the tidal surge
:05:23. > :05:27.caused by the Atlantic storms and a low pressure. We were saved by that.
:05:28. > :05:29.Any more than that, it would have pushed our resources and our
:05:30. > :05:34.defences. We saw you deployed your latest
:05:35. > :05:37.weapon in Bristol 's flood defences for top looks a bit Heath Robinson
:05:38. > :05:47.to be honest but it worked this barrier. It is a Swedish design not
:05:48. > :05:50.many local authorities have it. We got it to protect Broadmead before
:05:51. > :05:54.Cabot Circus was built up defences have improved in that area and we
:05:55. > :05:59.have had no need to use it up we train our volunteer: Staff to direct
:06:00. > :06:04.it and we have been raring to go to test it.
:06:05. > :06:09.What happens next last remark `` what happens next?
:06:10. > :06:13.We are on stand`by for the high tide tonight and tomorrow morning. We
:06:14. > :06:19.will watch the water closely. We have various members of the team out
:06:20. > :06:24.location and they will report back in. The predictions are low at this
:06:25. > :06:30.evening and tomorrow. From Sunday onwards there will the some severe
:06:31. > :06:35.low pressure in the Atlantic Ocean storms brewing, and we could see
:06:36. > :06:39.more on Sunday, Monday morning. Thank you very much indeed for
:06:40. > :06:42.coming out and talking to us on this cold and wet night in Bristol.
:06:43. > :06:44.Let's go to Gloucestershire now where the Environment Agency issued
:06:45. > :06:59.three severe flood warnings, that the highest category and means that
:07:00. > :07:02.lives could be at risk. In the event, nobody was hurt, but there
:07:03. > :07:05.were some properties flooded when the River Severn burst its banks.
:07:06. > :07:09.Steve Knibbs reports. The famous Severn Bore made a slow
:07:10. > :07:21.approach but with the river already very swollen the tidal surge hit
:07:22. > :07:25.hard. What is staggering is how quickly the river has risen. It came
:07:26. > :07:34.in at around 9:20am, just over an hour later and it is at least ten
:07:35. > :07:36.foot above where it should be and it is still expected to peak in 15
:07:37. > :07:40.minutes. Within minutes the water broke over the river bank, this
:07:41. > :07:42.force of nature finding a way through wherever it could.
:07:43. > :07:46.Minsterworth was on a severe flood warning and people had done what
:07:47. > :07:51.they could to protect their homes but for some it wasn't enough. There
:07:52. > :08:00.are two levels in the house, it was about 18 inches in one part. It came
:08:01. > :08:03.in at quite a speed. It did, it was really flowing over there, quite
:08:04. > :08:06.something, it really was a tide coming over the bank.
:08:07. > :08:12.For others they were just high enough to escape. We had warning it
:08:13. > :08:15.was going to, very high so we thought we will do what we can to
:08:16. > :08:18.keep the upper house. At the Severn Bore Inn, usually a
:08:19. > :08:24.spot to see the bore, the carpets and furniture had been taken up in
:08:25. > :08:28.readiness, the water came close Worrying, we got our sandbags ready
:08:29. > :08:31.just in case, never seen anything like this before.
:08:32. > :08:34.As the bore moved on the coastguard moved along the stretch of the river
:08:35. > :08:38.checking that no`one had been trapped or injured. People are
:08:39. > :08:43.responding very well to the warnings. People are responding well
:08:44. > :08:47.to Avril requests to move back from the water which is very fast`moving.
:08:48. > :08:50.As fast as the water arrived it quickly went away in most areas but
:08:51. > :08:56.another bore is due tonight and tomorrow morning, albeit not as big.
:08:57. > :08:59.We are keeping a close eye on it. Our immediate concern is making sure
:09:00. > :09:04.flood defences haven't been damaged by this morning 's surge that we are
:09:05. > :09:08.out having a look. We will watch the search tonight. It looks like it
:09:09. > :09:10.should be slightly lower but it will be a big tide.
:09:11. > :09:13.Tonight flood warnings are still in place, the advice to stay vigilant
:09:14. > :09:20.ahead of more bad weather expected this weekend. All eyes this morning
:09:21. > :09:24.were on the Somerset coast which was very much in the front line. The
:09:25. > :09:31.worry was that a surge in the tide whipped up by a storm would cause a
:09:32. > :09:35.lot of damage. In the event most of the problems in Somerset are inland
:09:36. > :09:42.with many animals being rescued by the RSPCA. Here's Clinton Rogers.
:09:43. > :09:51.They knew it was coming. A tidal force strong enough to lift drain
:09:52. > :09:55.covers in Watchet. One of the highest tides of the year
:09:56. > :10:00.is what is causing this. But that though it has been for some people
:10:01. > :10:02.it could have been a whole lot worse had the winds been stronger and in a
:10:03. > :10:06.different direction. But when you have an angry sea on
:10:07. > :10:12.one side of your house and a raging river on the other the result is
:10:13. > :10:20.inevitable. When did the water coming? When the
:10:21. > :10:24.tide rose this morning. What Amazon? I wasn't too sure, I wasn't
:10:25. > :10:32.awake. They closed roads around 6:30am, an hour before high tide.
:10:33. > :10:35.But some were still determined to get close enough for that one
:10:36. > :10:38.picture. Inland on the Somerset Levels the picture was getting
:10:39. > :10:45.desperate for one farmer whose farm, was quickly becoming an island.
:10:46. > :10:50.50 cattle, three horses, 30 sheep. How worried are you? Very.
:10:51. > :10:56.The RSPCA were called in to help rescue his animals who were
:10:57. > :11:00.virtually marooned. And as the flood waters continued to rise in the end
:11:01. > :11:10.they needed a boat to take the pet dogs to safe dry land. I don't want
:11:11. > :11:15.to be separated from them. This is the second time now. We didn't
:11:16. > :11:18.expect it to happen again. It has. Nature was certainly showing its
:11:19. > :11:28.angry hand today, at Muchelney on the Levels it was hailstones nearly
:11:29. > :11:36.the size of golf balls. There is more rain on the way this weekend.
:11:37. > :11:41.Where will the water go? If you have been affected our hearts go out to
:11:42. > :11:45.you because it is wet and miserable. I will be back later in
:11:46. > :11:49.the programme to look at the prospects for later tonight at the
:11:50. > :11:52.weekend. Thanks, David. It really has been an
:11:53. > :11:56.extraordinary day with several weather systems coinciding to cause
:11:57. > :12:00.the high water levels we've seen. Ian is here, Ian, lots of our
:12:01. > :12:03.viewers have been sending you their pictures of the flooding across the
:12:04. > :12:09.region, talk us through some of them.
:12:10. > :12:14.Twitter was alive with some extraordinary images through the
:12:15. > :12:20.course of this morning. This first one speaks for itself at
:12:21. > :12:26.Weston`super`Mare, as the water was topping the coastline, pretty
:12:27. > :12:33.ferociously so. This shows how roughly powerful the sea was at that
:12:34. > :12:38.point. Equally, down at Clevedon it was a similar story, anywhere where
:12:39. > :12:42.you had these promenades we had the scenes unfolding. Come slightly
:12:43. > :12:48.further inland, this next shot from uphill, this shows how the water was
:12:49. > :12:52.pouring over into the lower lying adjacent areas causing the threat of
:12:53. > :12:56.flooding. We saw similar pictures from the tidal stretches of our
:12:57. > :12:59.rivers are the even, the Cumberland basin, it seems the people in
:13:00. > :13:03.Bristol and wouldn't have seen for a long time.
:13:04. > :13:07.In your experience, these pictures that you have seen for a long time?
:13:08. > :13:10.In the six years I have been doing weather forecasting here we haven't
:13:11. > :13:13.seen anything like this, big waves onto the shorelines, including in
:13:14. > :13:18.the middle of summer last year, but nothing on this scale. It is worth
:13:19. > :13:23.noting inland as we see here in Wiltshire river flooding continues
:13:24. > :13:27.to be a problem and it will be for the course of the weekend and
:13:28. > :13:35.beyond. Finally, also from Wiltshire and parts of Britain and the like we
:13:36. > :13:42.have hails tones as big as golf balls, extremely rare in the middle
:13:43. > :13:43.part of winter. There has been some unorthodox weather.
:13:44. > :13:56.Keep sending us your pictures. More whether a bit later.
:13:57. > :13:58.It's emerged that jobs at the Somerset helicopter maker
:13:59. > :14:02.AgustaWestland could be under threat after the Indian government said it
:14:03. > :14:05.wanted to cancel a half a billion pound contract with the company The
:14:06. > :14:08.order for 12 luxury aircraft has been in the balance since
:14:09. > :14:14.allegations surfaced last year that it may have been won through
:14:15. > :14:19.bribery. The two sides are due to meet to try and resolve the issue.
:14:20. > :14:22.Will Glennon reports from Yeovil. Workers back at AgustaWestland after
:14:23. > :14:31.Christmas have heard it may not be such a happy new year. They've built
:14:32. > :14:44.12 of these helicopters, the AW 01, for the Indian Government. Three
:14:45. > :14:48.have already been delivered. The other nine are ready to go. They're
:14:49. > :14:52.luxury transport for Heads of State. Total cost almost half a billion
:14:53. > :14:54.pounds. But now the Indians want out. Disappointment and surprise. We
:14:55. > :14:57.won the contract, we have to work to do, we did it on budget within
:14:58. > :15:02.timescales lay down, had the delivery, then this has come out the
:15:03. > :15:05.blue the contract. There is nothing more our members could have done.
:15:06. > :15:07.The deal has been in question since last February when allegations
:15:08. > :15:10.surfaced suggesting bribery. The Chief Executive of AgustaWestland's
:15:11. > :15:13.Italian parent company was arrested over suggestions that a payment of
:15:14. > :15:19.30 million euros had been made to the Indian defence ministry.
:15:20. > :15:25.Allegations that've always been denied. For its part AgustaWestland
:15:26. > :15:28.has issued a statement saying it doesn't think the Indian government
:15:29. > :15:32.has any basis for cancelling the contract but it says it will take
:15:33. > :15:35.part in an arbitration process, the company also says though it has a
:15:36. > :15:46.mitigation plan in place should the contract be cancelled and it hasn't
:15:47. > :15:52.ruled out job losses. The Italian company clearly hopes it
:15:53. > :15:57.might win the argument at arbitration, it hopes even at this
:15:58. > :16:02.stage the whole deal might still be salvaged, it stresses it is very
:16:03. > :16:06.much ready to continue working with the Indian government if at all
:16:07. > :16:08.possible it would like to go ahead and deliver those remaining
:16:09. > :16:11.helicopters. Executives will now meet with Indian
:16:12. > :16:15.officials and lawyers to try and sort out the deal. Meanwhile Yeovil
:16:16. > :16:23.has to get on with a ?1 billion order won just before Christmas 16
:16:24. > :16:27.helicopters for Norway. Changes to recycling collections in
:16:28. > :16:30.Swindon were approved by the Borough Council last night. It means that
:16:31. > :16:36.anyone who wants green waste collected will have to pay ?40 a
:16:37. > :16:39.year from April. It also means that the areas in the town which
:16:40. > :16:43.currently have weekly recycling collections will now move to
:16:44. > :16:46.fortnightly. Engineers say they've discovered a
:16:47. > :16:51.number of faults that caused the Plimsoll Swing Bridge in Bristol to
:16:52. > :16:57.seize up. The bridge jammed open two weeks ago, causing huge problems for
:16:58. > :17:01.rush`hour traffic in the city. The council says a number of parts need
:17:02. > :17:03.to be replaced and are currently being made.
:17:04. > :17:09.Now sport, and the question for fans is whether their team's match will
:17:10. > :17:12.be on or not. All of the New Year's Day football was wiped out by the
:17:13. > :17:17.wet weather. Alistair Durden is here, are things looking any better
:17:18. > :17:20.this weekend? Well we have our first casualty, Bristol Rovers FA Cup
:17:21. > :17:25.replay at Crawley is off for the second time. You might remember it
:17:26. > :17:32.was abandoned first time around with 15 minutes left to play because of a
:17:33. > :17:35.waterlogged pitch. Last night's rain has left it saturated again, and so
:17:36. > :17:39.that match has been rescheduled for next Wednesday. The two other FA Cup
:17:40. > :17:43.ties are both on at the moment. Yeovil Town have covered their pitch
:17:44. > :17:46.again today to protect it from further rain and the club say
:17:47. > :17:50.they're confident the game with Leyton Orient will be on. The same
:17:51. > :17:54.at Ashton Gate for Bristol City s home tie with Watford as they try to
:17:55. > :18:03.reach the fourth round for the first time since 2007.
:18:04. > :18:12.It will be a good Game four of, Watford have changed managers. I'm
:18:13. > :18:17.not quite sure how they will treat this cup game. But clearly it is
:18:18. > :18:20.more about how we treat it, we will be going into it with a positive
:18:21. > :18:27.attitude, the players are confident, just had two good form and sees so
:18:28. > :18:30.hopefully we can add to that ash to good performances. Cheltenham's
:18:31. > :18:33.league game at home to Chesterfield is still on but there's more heavy
:18:34. > :18:35.rain forecast for early tomorrow morning. The rugby clubs are more
:18:36. > :18:38.confident, Gloucester's pitch has been covered since New Years Eve,
:18:39. > :18:42.they play leaders Saracens tomorrow. And Bath are away to Leicester on
:18:43. > :18:45.Sunday, with no plans for an inspection at the moment.
:18:46. > :18:50.A lot of non`league games are off, and some hit worse than others by
:18:51. > :18:52.the sounds of it, haven't they? I don't think they'll be playing at
:18:53. > :19:03.Malmesbury. Somewhere under there is a football
:19:04. > :19:07.pitch. I think that is what they called the three the back formation.
:19:08. > :19:12.The obvious advice is if you think you are going to a game please ring
:19:13. > :19:18.the club beforehand to make sure it is going ahead. Let's take you
:19:19. > :19:21.somewhere much warmer and drier A Somerset volleyball player has
:19:22. > :19:24.become the first British woman to compete in one of her sport's
:19:25. > :19:27.biggest competitions. Ciara Michel has just finished her first season
:19:28. > :19:30.in Italy, playing in the European Champions League. Her success comes
:19:31. > :19:35.despite the British team being folded after the London Olympics.
:19:36. > :19:39.Ollie Williams has been to meet her. Welcome to the home of British
:19:40. > :19:45.volleyball, which doesn't look massively British, because it isn't.
:19:46. > :19:55.This is my balcony, you can see the beautiful city. This is Italy, one
:19:56. > :20:00.of the few British pro players left after the sister scenes at London
:20:01. > :20:04.2012. Within months of winning an Olympic game for the first time the
:20:05. > :20:11.British team was shutdown. The team was disbanded, there is no longer a
:20:12. > :20:20.GB women's volleyball team, just a group of fronts now, and most of the
:20:21. > :20:26.players have retired. This is my GB flag, it goes everywhere. At six
:20:27. > :20:29.foot five she has signed up as a middle blocker for the team in this
:20:30. > :20:32.town near Milan stop they play in the Champions League, which is one
:20:33. > :20:37.of the top competitions in the world. She grew up in Somerset
:20:38. > :20:39.before learning her volleyball in Miami and Australia is the first
:20:40. > :20:44.British player ever to reach this level.
:20:45. > :20:50.There is a real passionate fan base, it is a really similar atmosphere to
:20:51. > :20:54.London 2012 weather home crowd was ecstatic to be there.
:20:55. > :20:59.Now there is no Team GB to aim for players like are tucked away in
:21:00. > :21:02.Italy are almost all that is left to inspire British children to drive
:21:03. > :21:07.volleyball. Grant that many outlets for playing volleyball in England.
:21:08. > :21:12.The exposure of other sports that much greater so kids don't
:21:13. > :21:18.necessarily know this is an opportunity, something to strive
:21:19. > :21:21.for. I remember reading" before London 2012, I rated it down to my
:21:22. > :21:27.notebook and try to read it every day, every member of Team GB has the
:21:28. > :21:35.responsibility to inspire a nation. And I really would like to think
:21:36. > :21:44.that I can inspire kids. I feel inspired to get on a plane
:21:45. > :21:47.and head out to Italy. Before would go back to David, just
:21:48. > :21:48.a reminder of a programme coming up this weekend.
:21:49. > :21:51.The West Country nature enthusiast and television presenter Mike Dilger
:21:52. > :21:55.has been retracing the first ever exploration of the Colorado River as
:21:56. > :21:58.it runs through the Grand Canyon in the USA. Mike was joined by
:21:59. > :22:02.historian Dan Snow for the hair`raising trip, and you can see
:22:03. > :22:11.how the team got on during a new show being screened this weekend on
:22:12. > :22:22.BBC Two. Hang on. Dan's boat takes a big hit. It is ruined. If this was a
:22:23. > :22:26.fibreglass boat it would not still be fretting, I don't think. It would
:22:27. > :22:35.have wrapped around rock. Operation Grand Canyon with Dan Snow
:22:36. > :22:40.is on this Sunday at 9pm. Now, for the all`important forecast.
:22:41. > :22:49.Hopefully the worst conditions are over in terms of the threat of the
:22:50. > :22:54.coastal flooding. As you have been hearing earlier or I'd run later
:22:55. > :22:59.this evening with another high tide, and again it will be perilously
:23:00. > :23:04.close in some cases to being troublesome. As we head into
:23:05. > :23:07.tomorrow, some heavy rain for the first part of the day, there were
:23:08. > :23:15.clear way to the North. The afternoon looks a lot better much
:23:16. > :23:21.further heavy showers. After a call to start on Sunday with a decent
:23:22. > :23:29.morning we wet face. It will continue windy on Monday. The Met
:23:30. > :23:33.Office has a warning for continuing heavy showers. As we head into
:23:34. > :23:38.tomorrow this next feature runs some further heavy rain northwards.
:23:39. > :23:41.Better window through the afternoon, you can see further showers
:23:42. > :23:45.returning on and off through the course of the late afternoon. This
:23:46. > :23:53.feature is threatening more what is whether across South Wilts, Dorset.
:23:54. > :24:00.`` more wet weather. There is a whether one out for Sunday. `` a
:24:01. > :24:12.weather warning. The rainfall amounts have been toned down, most
:24:13. > :24:17.places probably about ten millimetres but it is adding team
:24:18. > :24:22.relatively sober warning continued but not desperately heavy amount of
:24:23. > :24:27.rainfall. This is how things are looking for Sunday. After that dry,
:24:28. > :24:37.chilly start. Familiar looking chart. The windy spell and a wet one
:24:38. > :24:45.as well. Let's return to this evening, still some heavy showers.
:24:46. > :24:48.Notable hail. They will fade away for a while into the course of the
:24:49. > :24:56.night. We will see this next feature from the South West, some heavy
:24:57. > :25:02.showery rain. Temperatures for all this will be typically between four
:25:03. > :25:05.and six. Tomorrow a question of getting that early rain out of the
:25:06. > :25:13.way. Here comes the window of more usable weather. Many of you will
:25:14. > :25:15.have a dry afternoon. There is the sign of further showers coming
:25:16. > :25:20.through, some of them could have some hill. It will be a bit of a
:25:21. > :25:24.lottery whether you are seeing wet or dry prospects. Here is the return
:25:25. > :25:34.of some more heavy rain into the extreme south. Temperatures are
:25:35. > :25:37.little bit higher on Sunday. Thanks Ian. Well that's all from me in the
:25:38. > :25:43.studio. Let's cross back live now to David
:25:44. > :25:49.in the centre of Bristol for the latest news on the flooding.
:25:50. > :26:00.It is perking up a little bit positively balmy here. This morning
:26:01. > :26:04.they drained some of the water from the floating Harbour so at the high
:26:05. > :26:09.tide came at the Raven, that spilled onto the road but came back into
:26:10. > :26:15.this massive drain, reservoir, which prevented any properties round here
:26:16. > :26:18.being damaged. The danger point was the high tide. There is another one
:26:19. > :26:23.coming up shortly this evening. The one we are worried about is on
:26:24. > :26:29.Sunday. That squash over to Gloucestershire and the environment
:26:30. > :26:37.agent you. `` let's cross over to Gloucestershire. What one example is
:26:38. > :26:41.tonight? `` what warnings are in place. The severe warning is still
:26:42. > :26:46.in place. We are urging people to stay awake from the river. We will
:26:47. > :26:50.have another surge coming up. It will not be quite as high as this
:26:51. > :26:59.morning. With the wind and rain we could see some overtopping in areas.
:27:00. > :27:05.What about the weekend? Coming into the weekend, it is going
:27:06. > :27:10.to turn the other way, rather than title it will be fluvial. We have
:27:11. > :27:13.got this water coming down Wales and Worcestershire towards us and with
:27:14. > :27:19.the low pressure coming in that will cause more flood warnings and flood
:27:20. > :27:28.alerts. We urge people to be aware, get onto the apartment agency's
:27:29. > :27:35.website, it `` Environment Agency. I guess the thing is to stay alert
:27:36. > :27:40.and it is not over until it is over. Exactly, it is not. We have got some
:27:41. > :27:43.severe weather coming through, we know it will push flood warnings
:27:44. > :27:48.back`up. The Met Office are working closely with us.
:27:49. > :27:49.We have to stop you there, thank you very much
