:00:00. > :00:09.Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and David Garmston. Our main
:00:10. > :00:12.story tonight: 50 days of rain. The West continues its battle against
:00:13. > :00:17.the elements as more homes succumb to the rising waters.
:00:18. > :00:20.Frustration for families ` it'll be weeks before they can even assess
:00:21. > :00:24.the damage. And turmoil on the trains ` the
:00:25. > :00:28.advice is simply not to travel. But one man who did come here is the
:00:29. > :00:35.Prime Minister ` David Cameron says the Government is getting it right.
:00:36. > :00:42.People wanted more pumps. I made sure they got more pumps. People
:00:43. > :00:46.wanted the military in. I ordered the military. People wanted more
:00:47. > :00:48.money and that is why I put in 30 million last week, some of it first
:00:49. > :00:53.Somerset. And we find out why the weather has
:00:54. > :01:00.been so bad, and ask, when will it end?
:01:01. > :01:03.The other stories making the news tonight: Bloodied and bruised ` the
:01:04. > :01:06.Bristol pensioner beaten on her own doorstep.
:01:07. > :01:10.Another damp evening at the Mem as the game postponed because of poor
:01:11. > :01:14.weather in the New Year, goes ahead tonight.
:01:15. > :01:16.And beauty and the beak ` but did you know that every swan has a
:01:17. > :01:25.different face? Good evening. The West Country is
:01:26. > :01:30.now 50 days into the flooding crisis ` and things are getting worse, not
:01:31. > :01:33.better. More homes have been flooded, the water is getting deeper
:01:34. > :01:39.` and tomorrow more heavy rain and high winds are expected. The Prime
:01:40. > :01:42.Minister made his second visit to the West Country today, and promised
:01:43. > :01:46.that he is in personal charge. Here's Paul Barltrop.
:01:47. > :01:50.He wanted to show the Government had got a grip. The Prime Minister this
:01:51. > :01:54.morning toured the control room at Taunton police station. It has
:01:55. > :01:57.brought together councils, emergency services, the Environment Agency and
:01:58. > :02:05.the military, with backing and funding from on high.
:02:06. > :02:09.People wanted more pumps, I made sure they got them. People wonder
:02:10. > :02:15.the military, I ordered the military in. People wanted more money and I
:02:16. > :02:19.put in an extra 130 million last week, some of it first Somerset
:02:20. > :02:24.Whatever action is needed, will be done. Because of the appalling
:02:25. > :02:27.weather we have had, the worst start to a year for 250 years, it will
:02:28. > :02:30.take time. He sat in on a meeting of Gold
:02:31. > :02:37.Command. It co`ordinates the response ` though wasn't set up
:02:38. > :02:41.until several weeks into the floods. The criticism has been made that the
:02:42. > :02:45.Government was slightly slow off the mark. There is some truth in that.
:02:46. > :02:50.The Government could have shown greater urgency in the first few
:02:51. > :02:53.weeks. I am not criticising the Government now. The Government is
:02:54. > :02:56.being very active and they appreciate the Prime Minister coming
:02:57. > :02:59.here today. David Cameron met Environment Agency staff, as more
:03:00. > :03:02.details emerged about why dredging failed to properly start last year
:03:03. > :03:05.in the rivers Tone and Parrett. Government rules meant the agency
:03:06. > :03:09.could only contribute ?400,000 to the cost. A special request for ?1
:03:10. > :03:13.million was made to the Government by Somerset farmers, and rejected.
:03:14. > :03:24.It was not what the PM wanted to talk about.
:03:25. > :03:28.The money was turned down by Richard Benyon last year? More dredging
:03:29. > :03:34.needs to be done. Was that a failure on your part? We have learned the
:03:35. > :03:38.lessons. More dredging will take place when it is safe to do so. Also
:03:39. > :03:42.wading in today were Labour Leader Ed Miliband, who visited flood`hit
:03:43. > :03:45.Berkshire even as one of his top team visited Somerset. It was not
:03:46. > :03:49.though a time for political point scoring. I am here at the community
:03:50. > :03:54.centre talking to people who have had to leave their homes, who are
:03:55. > :04:00.very upset, who are finding it very difficult to know what the future is
:04:01. > :04:03.going to be. It has raised some important issues for me to take back
:04:04. > :04:08.to London. I do not see this in party political terms. On the levels
:04:09. > :04:11.it's reckoned a hundred properties have flooded, and another hundred
:04:12. > :04:14.are at risk. All wait for the weather to turn. In a few months
:04:15. > :04:19.when the waters have gone down, dredging will get going on the
:04:20. > :04:22.rivers Parrot and tone. What politicians are not saying so much
:04:23. > :04:27.about is the ongoing cost and the fact there will still be floods here
:04:28. > :04:30.in the future. While the flooding covers more of
:04:31. > :04:35.the UK, homes and families on the Somerset Levels are still suffering
:04:36. > :04:39.from rising floodwaters. The village of East Lyng has seen water rise by
:04:40. > :04:43.more than 12 inches in the past few days, and some have now had no
:04:44. > :04:52.choice but to abandon their homes. Andrew Plant is there for us this
:04:53. > :04:56.evening. Good evening. We are across the
:04:57. > :04:59.other side of the water from Burrowbridge. We are a couple of
:05:00. > :05:06.miles from moorland. You can get there this way by car. That was the
:05:07. > :05:10.scene of Somerset's first political visitor, the Environment Secretary.
:05:11. > :05:15.He came down to see what was going on here himself. That was 15 days
:05:16. > :05:19.ago. It seems like far longer because so much has changed
:05:20. > :05:23.politically since then. Somerset and the flooding here has rarely been
:05:24. > :05:28.out of the headlines. On a practical level, it has remained rather
:05:29. > :05:33.stagnant. The water is still rising. It is still creeping into people's
:05:34. > :05:38.back gardens. Despite the sandbagging efforts going on here,
:05:39. > :05:43.particularly in recent days, it is still forcing people to abandon
:05:44. > :05:46.their homes. The village of East Lyng ` some of
:05:47. > :05:56.Somerset's most picturesque countryside now under five feet of
:05:57. > :06:02.water. This is his front door. In the back garden, a prized possession
:06:03. > :06:09.left standing in the rush. To save people and pets before the water
:06:10. > :06:16.came in, fhe family have fled. The worst I've seen by a long way. The
:06:17. > :06:19.family have fled. Neighbour Chris says someone has already tried to
:06:20. > :06:27.break in here. The locks have been damaged. There is nothing left in
:06:28. > :06:32.there to steal. This was the house next door on Saturday. Neighbours
:06:33. > :06:39.worked to make a protective wall. This morning, the water is a foot
:06:40. > :06:43.deeper, these tiny pumps flat out. Still the situation is tense.
:06:44. > :06:50.Everything feels like it could just crumble any second. This is part of
:06:51. > :06:55.the plan. Lorries lined up with huge pumps on their backs. Giant
:06:56. > :07:05.machinery making sure the levels have better weapons to fight this
:07:06. > :07:11.war with the water. This train is on the edge of Bridgwater. They are
:07:12. > :07:16.building a solid platform over here. That will house eight of those huge
:07:17. > :07:19.pipes we have seen in recent weeks. At high tide, when the River Parrett
:07:20. > :07:26.has trouble flowing to see, they will soak up the water of the
:07:27. > :07:31.Somerset Levels and brass that `` blasted out to sea. That will ease
:07:32. > :07:34.the pressure on the system. A couple came in here today looking for
:07:35. > :07:37.toothbrushes. They had lost everything. Nearby in Bridgwater,
:07:38. > :07:40.the relief effort has supplies. The essentials ` the basics that for
:07:41. > :07:46.many are now simply floating in dirty water, bridging the water now
:07:47. > :07:55.surrounding Moorland farm. The only way in means walking the plank. With
:07:56. > :07:58.luck this defence will be the difference between living at home
:07:59. > :08:04.with water outside every window or having to escape as it finally pours
:08:05. > :08:09.inside. When will this water finally start
:08:10. > :08:12.to go down? On the other side of Burrowbridge, there is a bit more
:08:13. > :08:18.greenery available. The levels are dropping. On this side of the River
:08:19. > :08:22.Parrett, the levels are still rising. That is because on this site
:08:23. > :08:27.it is more susceptible to rainfall. They reckon it would take 20 days to
:08:28. > :08:32.drain it without any rain. This winter, with this relentless
:08:33. > :08:37.rainfall, that is not happening Some of those images were really
:08:38. > :08:41.arresting, very shocking. Well, one of the flooded homes we showed you
:08:42. > :08:44.there belongs to Carol John and her family. We first met them on Points
:08:45. > :08:48.West on Saturday, as they were forced to abandon their property to
:08:49. > :08:50.the rising waters. It must have been a very difficult situation. Carol
:08:51. > :08:53.phoned the police on the non`emergency 101 number, as she'd
:08:54. > :08:58.been advised to do, but wasn't very happy with the response.
:08:59. > :09:03.I rang the police and told them we were evacuating. They said, why are
:09:04. > :09:07.you telling us? We are not interested, we cannot do anything.
:09:08. > :09:11.Steve Brodie has been finding out why her call was not dealt with
:09:12. > :09:17.properly. He kept talking over me. He kept
:09:18. > :09:21.saying, I don't know why you are telling us this. What do you expect
:09:22. > :09:25.us to do? Three days on and Carol John and her family are still
:09:26. > :09:28.camping out in a hotel in Taunton. And although she's accepted an
:09:29. > :09:33.apology from the police, the loss of her home and the strain on her
:09:34. > :09:38.children has taken its toll. I really feel sick. I am shaking. I
:09:39. > :09:43.just don't know what to do with myself. I'm trying to keep going for
:09:44. > :09:50.the kids. Obviously I have got to go to work again. My daughter is very
:09:51. > :09:55.cheerful. As are we all, really My son, it is more a case of, I have
:09:56. > :09:59.lost this, I have lost that, what am I going to do about this? This where
:10:00. > :10:02.her cry for help came through` Silver Control set up behind Taunton
:10:03. > :10:05.police station. It's here all the emergency services co`ordinate their
:10:06. > :10:08.response to the ever changing and ever more damaging incident. And
:10:09. > :10:17.Avon Somerset police admit they got it wrong in Mrs John's time of
:10:18. > :10:20.need. We are incredibly sympathetic. It
:10:21. > :10:25.was a dire situation. We let her down, quite frankly. We are sorry
:10:26. > :10:29.for that. When we are dealing with a major incident, there are a number
:10:30. > :10:32.of demands placed upon us. We should have done better. I will make sure
:10:33. > :10:35.it does not happen again. To be fair, the emergency services
:10:36. > :10:38.have been praised for their overall response to the flooding. Even
:10:39. > :10:40.Bridgwater's MP Ian Liddell Grainger, a fierce critic of the
:10:41. > :10:44.Environment Agency, has described the work of the emergency services
:10:45. > :10:51.themselves as phenomenal. So how does it all work?
:10:52. > :10:55.We deliver all the operational activity on the ground in those
:10:56. > :11:02.communities, keeping them safe, providing sandbags, toilets, life
:11:03. > :11:05.jackets, transport in and out of the cut of villages. We provide that
:11:06. > :11:07.activity on the ground from this room.
:11:08. > :11:10.Along with the police, the control is packed with representatives from
:11:11. > :11:13.the Environment Agency, the Red Cross, the military and Somerset
:11:14. > :11:19.County Council. Tonight the council is worried about the long term
:11:20. > :11:21.condition of the region's roads From the highway engineering point
:11:22. > :11:29.of view, we are expecting the foundation of the road to be soft
:11:30. > :11:33.on. And also the volume of water. We expect softer roads, more potholes.
:11:34. > :11:37.We cannot do those inspections until the waters have subsided. So if you
:11:38. > :11:41.do want help or advice, then ring the 101 number and all those here
:11:42. > :11:45.will do their very best to help you out.
:11:46. > :11:51.Rail passengers heading into and out of the capital from the West are
:11:52. > :11:54.being advised not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary. First
:11:55. > :11:57.Great Western has only been running a skeleton service today, after
:11:58. > :12:01.being affected by floodwater. Those travelling on trains from Cheltenham
:12:02. > :12:04.to London are having to change at Swindon, and those from Bristol and
:12:05. > :12:15.Bath at Reading due to problems further along the line.
:12:16. > :12:19.The signalling equipment at Maidenhead has been affected by
:12:20. > :12:23.flood water. There are men on the track having to wade through each of
:12:24. > :12:29.our trains by hand. Network Rail can only be allowed `` really allow
:12:30. > :12:33.access to four trains an hour from Reading to Paddington. That is
:12:34. > :12:35.having a huge knock`on effect towards Reading and further on down
:12:36. > :12:39.the track. A busy commuter route near Bath is
:12:40. > :12:42.expected to remain shut for a further four weeks following a
:12:43. > :12:45.landslip last month. Concrete piles are being used to strengthen the
:12:46. > :12:48.bank along the road in Midford. Engineers are also re`routing
:12:49. > :12:51.cables. Bath and North East Somerset Council says the road cannot be
:12:52. > :12:59.reopened until they're satisfied it's stable.
:13:00. > :13:04.The misery continues in Gloucestershire. Steve Knibbs has
:13:05. > :13:08.been out with the volunteer emergency teams as they try to
:13:09. > :13:11.deliver food to communities cut off from normal life.
:13:12. > :13:14.It's hard work wading through the floods ` the current in places still
:13:15. > :13:18.strong. Haw Bridge has been marooned on and off since Christmas, but it
:13:19. > :13:25.was only at the weekend that homes flooded. A quick word with the
:13:26. > :13:31.landlady of the local pub, and the volunteers from Severn Area Rescue
:13:32. > :13:34.split up to deliver food. Once on the water the extent of the flooding
:13:35. > :13:46.is staggering, and navigating along what was a road is a fine art. In
:13:47. > :13:56.the event it's easier to walk in. And it's eerily quiet ` many people
:13:57. > :14:00.left before the waters rose up. Adam is at pub... One of the few to stay
:14:01. > :14:04.` BBC Radio Gloucestershire's motoring correspondent Zog Ziegler.
:14:05. > :14:10.We are staying here, manning the pumps. We are surviving. All year we
:14:11. > :14:14.have fought lots of battles. But the enemy has re`armed and we have lost
:14:15. > :14:18.the war. We are struggling as much as we can. Along with everybody else
:14:19. > :14:21.around here. Human contact is worth its weight in gold here. For those
:14:22. > :14:26.that chose to stay, just knowing that someone is looking out for them
:14:27. > :14:30.makes a difference. The response from the residence says it all. They
:14:31. > :14:35.are really pleased to know somebody can help them. They are pleased they
:14:36. > :14:38.can get supplies in and out. For us, as volunteers, that is everything.
:14:39. > :14:42.And this volunteer team know they'll likely to be called out again soon `
:14:43. > :14:45.already one resident has told them he needs taking to hospital for
:14:46. > :14:56.treatment later this week. Vital work supporting communities cut off.
:14:57. > :15:01.And the weather's been playing havoc with our sporting fixtures too.
:15:02. > :15:07.Ali's at the Memorial Stadium for us tonight. Is it finally game on for
:15:08. > :15:11.Rovers and Cheltenham? The pitch covers are off and the
:15:12. > :15:13.rain has stopped. The work continues to make this service playable. Join
:15:14. > :15:22.me later. The shocking image of a Bristol
:15:23. > :15:25.pensioner who was left bleeding and bruised after an attack on her own
:15:26. > :15:29.doorstep, has made front page news across the country today. Jennie
:15:30. > :15:34.Taylor, who's 76, asked us to show the photograph as she hopes it'll
:15:35. > :15:37.help police catch her attacker. We should warn you that Julia Causton's
:15:38. > :15:47.report does contain the graphic image, taken just after she was set
:15:48. > :15:53.upon. I prayed to God that if I was going
:15:54. > :15:59.to die, please don't let me die like this. Left battered and bruised but
:16:00. > :16:02.determined to battle on. For 60 years, Jennie Taylor has felt safe
:16:03. > :16:05.in her Totterdown home. But two weeks ago today, that safety was
:16:06. > :16:14.shattered in an unprovoked attack on her own doorstep. He launched
:16:15. > :16:19.himself at me. I arrived on the floor, which was unexpected. I
:16:20. > :16:26.thought he had tripped. And that his weight had pushed me over. And then
:16:27. > :16:32.of course it started. He started battering my head. He pushed me
:16:33. > :16:37.down. Then he choked rubbish at me, any bag of rubbish that was there.
:16:38. > :16:46.`` through rubbish at me. It went on like that. I thought I was going to
:16:47. > :16:49.die. The man stole ?100. Now the horrific extent of the injuries are
:16:50. > :17:00.the focus of national media attention. I thought, if it shocks
:17:01. > :17:05.people and makes them more careful, perhaps it may even shop him. ``
:17:06. > :17:08.shock him. In Totterdown today, known for its brightly coloured
:17:09. > :17:13.houses, disbelief that something dark could have happened here. It is
:17:14. > :17:19.absolutely awful. I hope they catch whodunnit. She is quite vulnerable.
:17:20. > :17:24.It makes me think we should look after the vulnerable more. While the
:17:25. > :17:27.physical scars are starting to heal, for Jennie, the memories of the
:17:28. > :17:32.attack will stay with her. I don't know how to get back on my feet I
:17:33. > :17:38.want to get back to normal as soon as. I want to feel as if I can live
:17:39. > :17:43.a relatively free life, as I always have.
:17:44. > :17:47.Jenny Taylor. Avon and Somerset Police have breached data protection
:17:48. > :17:50.laws more than any other force in the country over the past five
:17:51. > :17:52.years. Between January 2009 and October last year, there were almost
:17:53. > :17:58.three hundred breaches made by police staff. These include
:17:59. > :18:01.releasing names to the media without permission. The information came to
:18:02. > :18:06.light from a freedom of information request.
:18:07. > :18:10.Four of our football clubs are playing tonight, and there are some
:18:11. > :18:13.crucial games in the battle to avoid relegation. Alistair Durden is at
:18:14. > :18:18.the Memorial Stadium, where Bristol Rovers take on Cheltenham tonight.
:18:19. > :18:28.Ali, the first thing to ask is whether the game is on?
:18:29. > :18:33.Yes, well just about, David. It was pretty close. The referee has looked
:18:34. > :18:37.at the Page three times. There are quite a lot of brown patches. The
:18:38. > :18:43.pitch was covered until about 3:30pm. They took the covers off and
:18:44. > :18:48.got a lot of the excess water off. It is dry at the moment. If we do
:18:49. > :18:56.have more rain, it could be a problem. You mentioned relegation,
:18:57. > :19:02.this is a crucial match for these teams. Bristol Rovers, just two
:19:03. > :19:09.points away from the relegation zone. And Cheltenham Town, closer to
:19:10. > :19:13.the bottom than the play`off places. We look at the league table and were
:19:14. > :19:17.we to win tomorrow night, we go a couple of points behind them. The
:19:18. > :19:22.whole thing has got a bit of an edge to it. They have targeted this one
:19:23. > :19:28.as the one they need to win. The fans will get behind them. We have
:19:29. > :19:33.to quieten them. Play football. Play with some intelligence. Also, a lot
:19:34. > :19:38.of commitment that a local derby demands. Ian Holtby is the stadium
:19:39. > :19:45.manager here. How challenging has it been to keep the game on? It was
:19:46. > :19:50.touch and go. We had an horrendous storm about five o'clock. Your heart
:19:51. > :19:57.just sinks. I cannot praise the ground staff enough. They have been
:19:58. > :20:01.phenomenal. As a football club, how is the weather affecting you?
:20:02. > :20:07.Financially it is very difficult. We have got a lot of boxes in use, the
:20:08. > :20:12.restaurant is full. Especially against Oxford on Saturday and again
:20:13. > :20:16.tonight. Football clubs cannot keep losing games due to the weather It
:20:17. > :20:21.is difficult. We keep our fingers crossed that the heavens do not open
:20:22. > :20:24.again. A reminder that in the Championship bottom club Yeovil play
:20:25. > :20:27.fourth bottom Millwall tonight ` so that's a vital home game for the
:20:28. > :20:37.Glovers. And Bristol City, in the League One relegation zone, are away
:20:38. > :20:40.to Leyton Orient. Things can only get better.
:20:41. > :20:43.One of the longest running research projects in the world ` which is

:22:49. > :22:52.Let's return to our main story this evening. As flooding continues to
:22:53. > :22:56.cause misery, there is still more rain to come. It seems as though
:22:57. > :23:00.there is one story after another at the moment. We've tried to uncover
:23:01. > :23:08.what might be causing this high level of rainfall.
:23:09. > :23:13.Four weeks the weather has dominated our news. January saw the heaviest
:23:14. > :23:17.rainfall in years. But we do have thought that all this rain is
:23:18. > :23:22.connected to another extreme weather events on the other side of the
:23:23. > :23:27.Atlantic? The polar vortex which struck America in January.
:23:28. > :23:31.Temperatures plunged to `26 the breeze. Connecting the two events is
:23:32. > :23:47.the Jetstream. Need more clarification?
:23:48. > :23:52.Highly in. We've had an unprecedented amount of rainfall.
:23:53. > :23:57.It's been quite extraordinary. Sitting at this death day after day,
:23:58. > :24:03.it's one weather system after another. The result has been the
:24:04. > :24:07.wettest spells for a 250 years. Effectively since records began In
:24:08. > :24:17.context, look at this map from The Met office. Where you see these dark
:24:18. > :24:22.Blues. That's the best percentage of rain falling throughout that period.
:24:23. > :24:25.It's no surprise that we are in the situation we're in.
:24:26. > :24:29.There is evidence that this heavy rain and the cold snap that America
:24:30. > :24:35.experienced are linked by the Jetstream. Can you explain that
:24:36. > :24:38.The Jetstream is essential to this. Think of it as a ribbon of high
:24:39. > :24:46.winds stretching across the Atlantic. It's really the driving
:24:47. > :24:51.force, the birthplace for the storms which have been reaching us day
:24:52. > :24:55.after day. The path of them changes ` sometimes to the north, sometimes
:24:56. > :24:58.to the south. We're looking at another sequence of storms through
:24:59. > :25:04.the course of tomorrow, and again on Friday. Its relentless pattern has
:25:05. > :25:09.been a real sources... Point of interest throughout the course of
:25:10. > :25:13.this winter. Thank you Ian. Ian will be back shortly with your full
:25:14. > :25:18.weather forecast. I can tell you that between now and the weekend we
:25:19. > :25:23.are expecting up to another 80 millimetres of rain. That's three
:25:24. > :25:28.inches. Maybe February is about to break a few records to!
:25:29. > :25:35.Come on in, get your jacket on and tell us the worst!
:25:36. > :25:48.Will be looking at two issues tomorrow. The first is the heavy
:25:49. > :25:58.rain and the strength of the wind. The Amber alert moves to a yellow
:25:59. > :26:04.one. There is a warning first snow tonight. Rather patchy in nature.
:26:05. > :26:09.Don't be surprised if you see some snow further south. Tomorrow, we
:26:10. > :26:14.focus on the strength of the wind. Even without the amber warning, we
:26:15. > :26:19.could be looking at 50 mph. Thirdly, we have the rain once again. This
:26:20. > :26:26.has become a common issue. Another yellow warning for rain. Some of us
:26:27. > :26:32.getting close to about an inch. This is the reason why. As we move
:26:33. > :26:36.through this evening, some of these showers will be of a wintry nature.
:26:37. > :26:41.It is the gathering issues towards the west that grab the attention
:26:42. > :26:46.tomorrow. Low pressure swing its way towards the north`west, bringing the
:26:47. > :26:48.tightening of the isobars. That will bring the strong wind. It will
:26:49. > :26:56.follow the passage of the heavy rain. Some of these showers are
:26:57. > :27:02.falling as snow. We can expect some more. The second half of the night,
:27:03. > :27:04.snow over northern parts of Gloucestershire in particular.
:27:05. > :27:10.Showers around by tomorrow morning. It will be a cold night for us all.
:27:11. > :27:15.Many places close to freezing. Tomorrow then starting with showery
:27:16. > :27:21.outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. The main focus is this band of rain
:27:22. > :27:26.towards the middle of the day. Some heavy rain passing through
:27:27. > :27:29.relatively quickly. Winds picking up after the rain has gone. Rush hour
:27:30. > :27:39.tomorrow with the decidedly windy. Today just felt like the calm before
:27:40. > :27:43.the next storm. Tomorrow we will be broadcasting live from the heart of
:27:44. > :27:48.the flooding. We will see you there. For now, stay dry if you can. If you
:27:49. > :28:33.are affected by the flooding, our hearts go out to you. See you later.
:28:34. > :28:42.It was only for a second or two but I know -
:28:43. > :28:46.You're dragging up the past and into our house. She's my family
