:00:00. > :00:15.Good evening. The Bristol businessman accused of plotting to

:00:16. > :00:20.kill his wife on their honeymoon has lost his latest legal bid to stay in

:00:21. > :00:24.Britain. The High Court has ruled that Shrien Dewani can be sent to

:00:25. > :00:28.South Africa in a few weeks to face trial over the death of his wife

:00:29. > :00:34.Anni three years ago. He's always denied any involvement and his

:00:35. > :00:39.lawyers say he's not well enough. Shrien Dewani has lost his High

:00:40. > :00:42.Court battle to block extradition. A High Court judge deciding that he

:00:43. > :00:49.can be extradited so long as there are guarantees from the South

:00:50. > :00:52.African government. Shrien Dewani is currently remanded to a mental

:00:53. > :00:58.health hospital with trauma and depression. The conditions are that

:00:59. > :01:02.if he is found to be unfit to be tried he will be free to return to

:01:03. > :01:16.the UK unless there is a realistic prospect of a trial within a year.

:01:17. > :01:21.The South African authorities said they are delighted with the verdict.

:01:22. > :01:25.The family were at the High Court. It is a step in the right direction.

:01:26. > :01:29.It is one step closer. It is three months, three years. We have had to

:01:30. > :01:36.fight in so many different courts but we are so happy that the ruling

:01:37. > :01:50.has finally come forward. The ruling surprised some. This has been a

:01:51. > :01:55.long`running battle and it is not over yet. It is likely to be brought

:01:56. > :02:00.to this claim court. `` to the Supreme Court. I think they probably

:02:01. > :02:03.will entertain the appeal and they will have to consider what

:02:04. > :02:06.extradition means. Is it right to extradite someone to a foreign

:02:07. > :02:10.country when they cannot engage with lawyers? His lawyers have made no

:02:11. > :02:15.comment and said previously that he is happy to face trial when he is

:02:16. > :02:20.fit to do so. He denies any involvement with his wife's murder.

:02:21. > :02:29.The South African authorities say they can provide written guarantees

:02:30. > :02:31.to the UK within a matter of weeks. People across the west are again

:02:32. > :02:36.bracing themselves for further flooding, with more heavy rain and a

:02:37. > :02:39.high tide hitting the region. There are currently three severe flood

:02:40. > :02:43.warnings in place along the River Severn. In Somerset, the Agency is

:02:44. > :02:58.monitoring the River Parrett in case it bursts its banks.

:02:59. > :03:04.This is the main A361 that takes you through Boroughbridge. It remains

:03:05. > :03:07.closed as it has done for weeks We have seen the authorities coming

:03:08. > :03:14.down with torches and local people keeping an eye and see what is

:03:15. > :03:18.happening with the water levels To my eyes, despite the fact we have

:03:19. > :03:23.had a lot of rain, it does not seem to have risen hugely, which will be

:03:24. > :03:26.reassuring for people round here and the authorities who know they are

:03:27. > :03:35.under pressure to react as quickly as they can. They seem to be

:03:36. > :03:39.cautiously optimistic. If the rain does what we think it is going to

:03:40. > :03:46.do, the tides are what we think they are going to be, if the wind does

:03:47. > :03:51.what we think it is going to do we should be OK. The authorities are

:03:52. > :03:57.very keen to be speaking clearly with one voice. They have had a lot

:03:58. > :04:04.of criticism for the way they have handled the situation. The Prime

:04:05. > :04:09.Minister has written an open letter to the daily press in his heart goes

:04:10. > :04:14.out to the people of this area and promising he will do what he can to

:04:15. > :04:18.get the area back to some kind of normality. People feel they are

:04:19. > :04:23.being listened to, does date the pain, they have got this onto the

:04:24. > :04:27.political agenda, they are hoping there will be action, but in the

:04:28. > :04:31.meantime they have more pressing concerns because there is a lot more

:04:32. > :04:33.rain, wind and tide to come this weekend.

:04:34. > :04:37.Temporary flood barriers have also been put up in the Cumberland Basin

:04:38. > :04:40.in Bristol. There are concerns that the water could go over the harbour

:04:41. > :04:44.walls. Bristol is on an amber warning, as some tidal flooding is

:04:45. > :04:47.expected. And of course you can get the latest on the flood warnings to

:04:48. > :04:57.see how you're affected by logging on to The Environment Agency

:04:58. > :05:00.website. Three lap dancers and their agent

:05:04. > :05:06.accused of targeting nightclub boss Curtis Woodman who owed them more

:05:07. > :05:10.than ?40,000. The earnings were made during Cheltenham Race week in 012.

:06:59. > :07:04.will drop down to freezing. Tomorrow, a windy day, there will be

:07:05. > :07:08.some drier brighter spells but always the threat of further

:07:09. > :07:14.showers. It will lose the wintry elements but not the rain, which

:07:15. > :07:17.could be quite destructive. Very high tide tomorrow so we have to be

:07:18. > :07:24.cautionary about the threat of coastal flooding.

:07:25. > :07:42.There is more news on the BBC website. Goodbye.
