Good evening, the latest now from Points West. The high capacity Dutch | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
pumps on the flooded Somerset Levels have had to be turned off because of | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
damage to the river bank. The pumps had already moved a million tonnes | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
of water. Engineers are now looking at ways of stabilising the bank | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Meanwhile for some families it's been a heartbreaking day, watching | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
their homes succumb to the water. Fiona Lamdin reports. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Homeless and now Churchless. With Moorland well under the water, today | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
they came to worship on higher ground. Our church has gone at the | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
moment. We can't use it. Praying for those like Leslie, where the waters | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
won this war. We were fighting hard to try and keep it out. We were | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
working with family and friends We even had sex policeman on Sunday. We | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
worked all day putting sandbags up. And you have so many sandbags but it | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
still came in? About 2000. Winded it coming? Wednesday. We got up in the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
morning and it was all here. It s just devastating. You don't see how | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
it's ever going to go. In fact, it just keeps on rising. This is their | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
neighbour's front door a week ago. Today the water's above the knocker. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
The grand plan to get the water off the levels lies here at Dunball but | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
these Dutch pumps are idle. They've been turned off, just too strong for | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
the river banks, which are starting to give way. We're just making a | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
small collection for the people that are flooded. Back in East Lying | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
there's no shortage of a new type of visitor. The flood tourists. And so | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
why not charge them? Hundreds made every hour. Clare and Mark built | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
this boat in four hours this morning. It's my friend's birthday. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
The level for that side of the flood so we thought we would build a boat | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
and beat them there for lunch. As we start week six, locals are clearly | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
adapting. Meanwhile, the threat of flooding | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
has receded to stop the danger of water rising above flood defences | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
has gone for the time being at the island. Part of the cycle path which | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
links Bath and Bristol has been closed after it became submerged. A | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
200m stretch of the path near Newbridge is under about two foot of | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
water. But earlier some cyclists were choosing to ignore that! The | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
council will decide tomorrow if the water can be pumped away from the | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
path. A statue which was once deemed too | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
shocking to go on public view is now on display in Cheltenham. The Kiss | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
by Rodin is worth ?10 million. Here's Zoe Gough. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Iconic, popular and in its time highly controversial. The Kiss is | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
once again attracting crowds in Cheltenham, 78 years after it first | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
went on display here. But a few years before that... Auguste Rodin's | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
famous marble pose was removed from view. When this culture first went | :03:12. | :03:25. | |
on public display in 1914, it's intimate nature caused quite a stir. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Almost 20 years later, when it first came here to Cheltenham, public | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
opinion was far more favourable And it seems that's still true today. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
You embrace it as well, as kind of an expression of love and you enjoy | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
it for that reason. It would be wonderful if it could remain | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
permanently here but one has to appreciate that works of art get | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
moved round. We have to share them. In the '30s, The Kiss had a three | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
year stay in Cheltenham. While no longer controversial, its popularity | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
means this time it'll only be around for a few months. Zoe Gough, BBC | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Points West, Cheltenham. Football now and Bristol City | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
manager Steve Cotterill wants his team to focus on the positives after | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
being held to a draw at home yesterday. Despite taking the lead | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
twice, first through Sam Baldock and then twelve minutes before time by | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Derrick Williams, City failed to hold on for the win. But the manager | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
isn't thinking of it as two points dropped. I think a little bit | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
earlier on, when I first arrived, I think that would have been a keen | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
that we would have got beaten. I think that we would have perhaps it | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
lost a runner or lost concentration and I think we would have been | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
beaten. Rugby. And in the Premiership, a | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
penalty from Cook and this try from Sharples wasn't enough to prevent | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
defeat for Gloucester at the hands of Leicester. Final score Leicester | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
11, Gloucester eight. While in the Championship, Bristol | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
enjoyed a narrow victory over Nottingham by 25`24. Nicky | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Robinson's last`gasp penalty sealed a fifth successive league victory | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
for the visitors. The latest weather prospects now, | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
with Hollie Green. with | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Good evening. We saw some beautiful blue skies today but we have someone | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
on way. It is dry at first with a dip in temperatures but then some | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
showers therein and more outbreaks of friends of the night. We have a | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Met Office yellow warning in force for parts of western Somerset and | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Dorset. Rain falling on saturated services. Lows of around 45 degrees | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
but tending to pick up as the main page then. Outbreaks of grain to | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
start the day tomorrow and they continue on and off through the day. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
Breezy and blustery at times. Thereafter, Tuesday and Wednesday | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
bring bright spells and showers but Wednesday night and Thursday bring | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
wet and windy conditions. And do remember, you can watch | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Points West bulletins and today s edition of the Politics Show in the | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
West they are our website. Until then, have a very good | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
evening. Whilst we are talking about wet and | :06:03. | :06:20. | |
windy weather in the week ahead we will lose the extremes of last week. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
The first glow of the week will approach overnight. Clear skies will | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
cause temperatures to fall awake, and we are looking at a frost in | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
eastern England and for northern Scotland with Pitt -- patches of | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
mist and fog. Temperatures will rise through the night as the cloud comes | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
in and the wind begins to lift and the rain arrives. The far north of | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Scotland will get off to a frosty start. Further south, outbreaks of | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
rain for the rush hour. Rain from Northern Ireland and across northern | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
England. In the East, contending with more stubborn patches of fog. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Grey skies of East Anglia and the far south-east of England but | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
essentially | :07:07. | :07:07. |
