That is it from us. You can see more on all of today's storage | :00:00. | :00:26. | |
Good evening from Points West. Almost ?10,000 in grants have been | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
handed out to those who've seen their property and businesses | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
flooded on the Somerset levels. The charity raising the money says its | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
received generous donations from the public. Meanwhile a large crowd | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
gathered this morning along the River Parrett as high tide | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
approached. Andrew Plant reports. Queueing for Sunday morning coffee. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The High Tide due here in Burrowbridge this morning attracting | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
big crowds. Rarely have they seen the River Parrett so swollen. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Environment Agency staff sandbagging weak spots at first light | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Eventually, no match for the sheer weight of water. The burst of the | :00:54. | :01:07. | |
banks lasted about 15 minutes, but what was striking was, as soon as it | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
came up the sides, all the sandbags were in place had no effect | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
whatsoever. Local people were unfazed because they have seen it | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
all before. Across the other side of the Somerset Levels. Home`made | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
defences protecting Long Sutton Golf club. Its 18`hole fairways now home | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
to a hovercraft. Last year was the worst ever, and this is worse again | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
by about 18 inches deep, maybe two foot. It's crazy. Lorraine Hall is | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
five months pregnant and has had to close her business. Customers have | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
been supportive but when you are in the early stage of opening a | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
business, you want to be reliable, so that has come as a blow. At what | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
should be a good time for us, we are actually a business and home that | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
seems a complete mess. Lorraine and around 40 other flooding victims | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
have been given ?250 from a local fund. This is having an enormous | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
impact and we're very interested to look at what other support we can | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
fund, whether people need to have a crisis helpline, counselling, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
support because this is going to start affecting people 's state of | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
mind and affecting their stress levels. We want to do everything we | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
can to help people. Amphibious vehicles arrived near the cut off | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
village of Muchelney this afternoon to help ferry supplies. Even when | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
this water eventually goes, the problems it's caused will linger | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
even longer. And this evening the police are | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
telling residents of the Levels that its helicopter will be flying over | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the area. It comes after 600 gallons of domestic heating oil was stolen | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
from a farm in Moorland and the theft of two quad bikes from | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Burrowbridge. The Bishop of Gloucester is to retire after almost | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
a decade in the role. The Right Reverend Michael Perham said he | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
would go in November after more than ten "happy, stimulating and fruitful | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
years". He's been a strong advocate of the role of women in the Church | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
as priests and bishops. In the summer, he'll undertake a seven`day | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
pilgrimage walking through the diocese. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Two of the West's prisons are up for sale. Gloucester Prison is more than | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
200 years old and part of it is Grade II listed. Meanwhile, bids are | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
also invited for Shepton Mallet Prison, which is Britain's oldest | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
jail. Both closed last March. Football now, and it was a 3`1 | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
defeat for Yeovil Town as they met Nottingham Forest earlier. The only | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
goal for the Glovers came from the head of Kieffer Moore. The result | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
means that Yeovil remain at the bottom of the league table, six | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
points from safety. Meanwhile in rugby, Bristol had a convincing win | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
over Jersey in the Championship Final score at the Memorial Stadium | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
54`14 with the home side running in eight tries. The latest weather | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
outlook for you now with Hollie Green. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Good evening. Strengthening winds through the night with outbreaks of | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
rain arriving tomorrow. A few showers around at the moment but | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
mostly dry picture, but the winds are picking up and turning strong as | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
we had through the early hours. They keep things mild with loads of five | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
or six degrees. A dry start tomorrow, but we have outbreaks of | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
rain moving in from the west. We do have a yellow warning in force for | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Somerset and we could see further flooding issues. Further east, the | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
rain won't arrive until later in the day. Tom Prib `` top temperatures | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
around seven or eight degrees tomorrow. Thereafter, Tuesday | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
bringing heavy, blustery showers in the day, but in the night, turning | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
wet and windy and it stays extremely unsettled through Wednesday. | :04:58. | :05:09. | |
Good evening. Many of us had a sunny Sunday. The weather has calmed down. | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
However, there is more wet and | :05:17. | :05:18. |
