:00:00. > :00:14.A Good evening. with the late news 10:10.
:00:15. > :00:17.A Good evening. Victims of flooding are being told
:00:18. > :00:21.that they will be able to gdt insurance for their homes in the
:00:22. > :00:24.future. As the waters begin to recede on the Somerset Levels,
:00:25. > :00:28.people are getting back into their houses and beginning to cle`n up.
:00:29. > :00:32.But they face many months of work and the costs will run into hundreds
:00:33. > :00:36.of thousands of pounds. Will Glennon's been to Muchelney today.
:00:37. > :00:40.This is the home of Liz and Peter Nightingale. It has been under water
:00:41. > :00:45.for eight weeks. Then finally, on Wednesday, they reclaimed their
:00:46. > :00:51.downstairs floor. The water came in about 13 inches. That is sthll
:00:52. > :00:54.pretty damp in the fireplacd. The Nightingales have lived on the edge
:00:55. > :01:01.of Muchelney for 17 years and only flooded for the first time last
:01:02. > :01:04.year. Their home insurance rocketed. They offered me, er, a renewal with
:01:05. > :01:12.special terms, which amounts to approximately doubling of the
:01:13. > :01:18.premium and a huge excess. What size excess? Well, the excess on this
:01:19. > :01:22.building is ?15,000. If people in these flooded areas of Somerset were
:01:23. > :01:25.left to the Open market, thdy probably wouldn't get home
:01:26. > :01:31.insurance, they are too much of a financial risk now. They nedd the
:01:32. > :01:37.Government and the insurancd industry to work together to make
:01:38. > :01:42.sure they are not left on their own. A new scheme called Flood Rd is due
:01:43. > :01:44.to be put in place in 2015. That will keep things affordable.
:01:45. > :01:48.Affordability is not just about premiums, it is about excess as well
:01:49. > :01:52.and we know there is an increasing number of sizeable excesses out
:01:53. > :01:55.there, and that is why the Flood Re scheme won't just look at affordable
:01:56. > :01:58.premiums, but will make surd that flood excesses remain affordable as
:01:59. > :02:00.well. The Nightingales hadn't finished cleaning up from l`st
:02:01. > :02:04.year's floods when they got hit again this year. They have `lready
:02:05. > :02:11.begun their insurance claim but the whole process will be long `nd
:02:12. > :02:15.costly. For them, a huge prdmium and an excess into tens of thousands is
:02:16. > :02:24.simply the reality of living in a flood`prone area, and one they are
:02:25. > :02:28.resigned to. A protest's taken place on the Old
:02:29. > :02:35.Severn Bridge this morning, involving people who are concerned
:02:36. > :02:37.about high tolls. Both Severn bridges will become publiclx owned
:02:38. > :02:40.in 2018 once their original construction costs have been
:02:41. > :02:45.covered. Today, campaigners were asking for the tolls to be lowered
:02:46. > :02:49.or even scrapped in the futtre. They have a great effect on us, we
:02:50. > :02:52.are the local community frol the area. It affects small businesses,
:02:53. > :02:56.many of us have small busindsses in the area. Families, outings, we
:02:57. > :03:00.would spend more money in England even when we spend money in Wales.
:03:01. > :03:04.Dash England would spend more money in Wales. It would do the local
:03:05. > :03:07.economy a huge amount of good if they were reduced or banned
:03:08. > :03:10.altogether when the tolls come back into public ownership in 2008.
:03:11. > :03:14.The Department for Transport has said that no decisions have been
:03:15. > :03:16.made on toll pricing but anx future arrangements would need to lake
:03:17. > :03:19.proper provision for repaymdnt of Government costs and maintenance.
:03:20. > :03:24.In football, Yeovil drew 1`0 at Reading in the Championship but
:03:25. > :03:28.ended the game with only eight men. Shane Duffy scored for Yeovhl.
:03:29. > :03:31.Glovers keeper Marek Stek s`ved a penalty, then Byron Webster, Joe
:03:32. > :03:37.Rawls and Kieffer Moore werd all sent off in the second half.
:03:38. > :03:40.In League One, Bristol City beat Gillingham 2`1, with Sam Baldock and

:04:01. > :04:04.was 39`13. Rovers drew 0`0 at Northampton.
:04:05. > :04:12.And despite this try from Hdnry And in the Championship, Bristol are
:04:13. > :04:17.currently winning against Rotherham. The current school is 19`28 ``
:04:18. > :04:18.score. Well, not a bad day for the first
:04:19. > :04:24.day of spring. Well, not a bad Lots of lovdly
:04:25. > :04:31.sunshine. Let's have a look ahead though with Holly Green.
:04:32. > :04:35.Good evening. Some of us were lucky enough to see some lovely blue skies
:04:36. > :04:37.through the day today, but we have seen cloud thickening up and that
:04:38. > :04:41.process is continuing through tonight. That cloud pushing in from
:04:42. > :04:44.the west, bringing with it ` few spits and spots of rain through the
:04:45. > :04:47.night tonight. It could get quite chilly in the night, but with the
:04:48. > :04:51.breeze picking up, temperattres should tend to rise towards dawn. We
:04:52. > :04:55.could see a bit of early mist and fog as well, but again, that will
:04:56. > :04:58.clear as that breeze increases. So we start tomorrow morning on a
:04:59. > :05:02.cloudy note. Some patchy rahn expected through the morning but, in
:05:03. > :05:04.the afternoon, we see a lind of heavier and more persistent rain
:05:05. > :05:06.sweeping in and that could bring some coastal gales. Top temperatures
:05:07. > :05:17.tomorrow between Hello. For some of us, it was quite
:05:18. > :05:22.a decent state, some sunshine around, but not the case right now
:05:23. > :05:26.in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland, chilly with some rain as
:05:27. > :05:27.well, you will have to warm yourself
