:00:12. > :00:18.Hello. The body of man if his 40s has been found at a house in Essex.
:00:19. > :00:21.Police say they were called to Shoeburyness at 6.00 this morning,
:00:22. > :00:25.after reports that man was in a distressed state. He was declared
:00:26. > :00:29.dead at the scene. Several flood warnings have been
:00:30. > :00:36.issued across the region. There are two in Cambridgeshire on the River
:00:37. > :00:41.Nene, and on the B1040 thorny to wit Whittlesey Road. On the river wed,
:00:42. > :00:43.and there is also a flood warning for the Riverside in Chelmsford
:00:44. > :00:47.including the cricket ground. Yesterday in the city several horses
:00:48. > :00:51.were rescued from flooded fields. They were led to safety by the Fire
:00:52. > :00:56.Service, when water levels started to get dangerously high.
:00:57. > :00:59.We got up here this morning, I felt it wasn't safe to leave the horses
:01:00. > :01:04.where they are, given we are expecting more rain, so I have asked
:01:05. > :01:08.the Fire Service to attend, and they spent about three hours in the field
:01:09. > :01:12.there, and they have managed to lead five horses off, of which they have
:01:13. > :01:15.been taken to safety by the owner. I was hoping we might be able to get
:01:16. > :01:20.all of them off today. Unfortunately after three hours of work, we were
:01:21. > :01:24.unable to catch the remaining three horses.
:01:25. > :01:28.On to football and there were no big name signings for Norwich or Ipswich
:01:29. > :01:32.before last night's transfer deadline. The canaries are back in
:01:33. > :01:36.action this afternoonful they are way to bottom of the table Cardiff.
:01:37. > :01:39.Norwich are 12th, five points clear of the relegation zone N the
:01:40. > :01:43.Championship, Ipswich, who are looking to move closer to the
:01:44. > :01:48.play`off zone are at home to Bolton. In League One the fixture list has
:01:49. > :01:52.been hit by the rain. Peterborough's home game has been called off
:01:53. > :01:58.because of a waterlogged pitch. Bottom of the table Stevenage are at
:01:59. > :02:02.Crawley and MK Dons play Tranmere. On the League Two. Northampton's new
:02:03. > :02:07.manager takes charge as they travel to Cheltenham. Southend played last
:02:08. > :02:11.night. They took on Newport County, at Roots Hall. Newport could have
:02:12. > :02:15.gone ahead with a penalty, but the ball went into the stands instead of
:02:16. > :02:21.the net. Southend had hair chances too, but the game finished Southend
:02:22. > :02:24.0, Newport 0. On the Rugby Union and Northampton centre Luther Borrell
:02:25. > :02:28.will make his England debut against France Leighton Baineser this
:02:29. > :02:31.afternoon. As the Six Nations Championship gets under way. The
:02:32. > :02:38.26`year`old has been one of the stars of the season so far, he is
:02:39. > :02:40.playing alongside three of his team`mates Lawes, Dylan Hartley and
:02:41. > :02:44.Tom Wood. He is probably not so young, he has
:02:45. > :02:48.been round a while now, 25, 26`year`old, but it is someone I
:02:49. > :02:53.have known since he was 15 and a pleasure for me to tell him he was
:02:54. > :02:57.playing. A bit of a mixed bag on the weather front. Georgina has the
:02:58. > :03:01.forecast. Good afternoon. After the heavy rain
:03:02. > :03:04.you may have heard there are flood alerts in place, so check the
:03:05. > :03:07.Environment Agency website if you are planning to travel anywhere. We
:03:08. > :03:10.have had the best of our sunshine already today. It starts to cloud
:03:11. > :03:14.over this afternoon, we have got further showers on the way, heavy
:03:15. > :03:20.and blustery Leighton Baineser on as well. With temperatures reaching six
:03:21. > :03:25.or seven. A windy day today, and it continues to be windy through the
:03:26. > :03:29.night as well. So more of the heavy showers pushing through the night,
:03:30. > :03:33.with temperatures down to four or five. Tomorrow, though, we have a
:03:34. > :03:37.much better day on the cards, so plenty of bright spells round,
:03:38. > :03:41.perhaps some sunshine, with scattered cloud, it is going to be
:03:42. > :03:45.temperatures reaching seven of eight degrees, still breezy but it becomes
:03:46. > :03:48.wet and windy again on Monday through to Wednesday.
:03:49. > :04:00.Take care whatever Some of us will have to brace
:04:01. > :04:04.ourselves today. Leaning forward into the wind. If you live over the
:04:05. > :04:07.west of the UK, there are gale-force winds on the way, but the main
:04:08. > :04:09.hazards are the
