That's it for now. We're back with the late news | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Hello, a very good evening to you. Thousands of homes across the West | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
are still without power this evening after strong winds and fallen trees | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
bought down cables. The main A4 9 through Gloucestershire was blocked | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
for a time, one of several spots where highways engineers and police | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
worked through the night to clear roads. The village of Poulton lost | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
power at 2am. At this shop, stock thawed in freezers until power was | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
reconnected this afternoon. One of the frustrations is that with modern | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
phones, you can't actually use them when there's no power. So the local | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
pub had to use our phone to cancel the bookings for lunch, which was | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
quite entertaining. But the thing that struck me really is the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
attitude of... Of people in the village, who have turned round and | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
said, "We've only lost our power, we haven't lost our homes. We are not | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
flooded out." On the Somerset levels, the final | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
two Dutch Pumps are being installed at Dunball this weekend. Once | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
they've been running for two days, other pumps at Beerwall can also be | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
turned on. The plan will eventually lead to the water being sent off the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
levels and moors. Fiona Lamdin begins her report in the village of | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Fordgate where everyone has left apart from one woman. | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
Once it comes inside, I am going to have to go. She is the last woman | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
still standing. They went this morning, 9am, they were taken out. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
30 families have all left at Heather is refusing to budge. I am warm I | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
am dry, I am comfortable. I've got heating, I've got electricity, my | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
toilets work and I got my own bed. Why should I want to move into the | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
village hall? Just a few fields away, back on dry land, the weekly | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
livestock market. The cash from these cows will boost the flood | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
fund. From Birmingham to bar brooch, a whole heap of helping hands. We | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
saw how devastating floods where and how little helpful folk were getting | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
so we drove down from Birmingham to lend a hand and we are making sound | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
bites and reinforcing the bank and doing whatever was needed to help | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
out. Here to make paths of the pumps. Others, like Jay from | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
Bridgwater, are closer to home. He has been here for a week. Today s | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
task is transforming these to graft pulls into pubs. `` telegraph | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
poles. We have a seven`month`old baby. Late nights and then coming | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
here first thing in the morning Back in the village, you can see the | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
entire villages under water. It will not surprise you to know that it | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
took us over our to track down Heather. Why? All the roads are deep | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
in water. Heather is adamant that she and her 30 cats are staying put. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Even though everybody else is long gone. | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
Building work has started on a new training college at Lyneham in | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Wiltshire. The former military air base closed in December 2012. It | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
will now be turned into a training centre for maintaining machinery and | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
military equipment. It's due for completion by the end of next year. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
To football and Bristol City's home game with Tranmere Rovers was the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
fixture involving our local sides to survive the weather Bristol City led | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
twice but had to settle for a point in a 2`2 draw with Tranmere. Sam | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Baldock and Derrick Williams scored for City. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Meanwhile in rugby, Bath travelled west to face Exeter. In a closely | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
fought game, Bath eventually won 27`23. Ollie de Veeto, Kyle Eastmond | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
and Nick Abendanon with this effort scored the Bath tries. 12 points | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
came from the boot of Man of the Match George Ford. Let's have a look | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
at the weather. Good evening. A fairly quiet night | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
for tonight but that means it is going to get cold. We had a yellow | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
warning in force. That is for ice on untreated services and it could well | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
be a hazard on the roads. The showers have largely died away and | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
we are looking at those clear spells and light winds. That is allowing | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
the temperatures to tumble. Cold but bright starts the day tomorrow | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
morning. Plenty of sunny spells throughout the day. Like twins also. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
We may find the cloud thickening up towards the end of the afternoon. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Tomorrow night, we see outbreaks of rain arrived. They stay with us at | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
times through Monday. We have a Met Office yellow warning in force. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
That is all from the team here. Our next bulletin is around about 6 20pm | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
tomorrow. Join me then. Goodbye Hello, good evening, finally some | :05:01. | :05:16. | |
quieter weather on the way for the British Isles for the remainder of | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
this weekend, also somewhat for the week ahead. More on that in a | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
moment. | :05:22. | :05:22. |
