:00:00. > :00:16.Hello, I'm Jenny Kirk. A driver's been describing how he
:00:17. > :00:20.made a dramatic escape after his van was swept away by floodwater. Graham
:00:21. > :00:23.Collins was trying to cross a flooded ford on a road near Bishops
:00:24. > :00:30.Stortford when his van became engulfed by the swollen river. The
:00:31. > :00:39.damage on the vehicle at the moment is obviously all this aside, all of
:00:40. > :00:41.the back doors are smashed. Graham's fan is a write`off,
:00:42. > :00:48.destroyed after being swept away by flood water. Debris still decorates
:00:49. > :00:53.his windscreen. This is what happened after he and two others
:00:54. > :01:01.took a short cut. It just drifted along for about 150 metres. It got
:01:02. > :01:06.to the Ford, smashed into a car that was already underwater and then
:01:07. > :01:09.started to sing. When it is loaded up with water, it weighs three
:01:10. > :01:14.tonnes. The water just picked it up and took it like a wafer. Graham
:01:15. > :01:18.escaped out of the window of his van and clung onto this fence to pull
:01:19. > :01:23.themselves out. He doesn't help the driver of this car get to safety.
:01:24. > :01:27.His grief was compounded by thieves. They struck while the van was stuck
:01:28. > :01:31.in the water, stealing is expensive equipment. The above is the risk to
:01:32. > :01:35.getting into the water to get to the van, which I find incredible. I
:01:36. > :01:42.don't even know of the machines will work. Elsewhere, the damage is still
:01:43. > :01:46.visible where residents had to be rescued as the water rose around the
:01:47. > :01:50.block of flats. The downstairs people were disabled so they got a
:01:51. > :01:56.fire boat out to get into the top because it was fine there. And near
:01:57. > :02:02.Cambridge, families resorted to wind down manhole covers, after the force
:02:03. > :02:04.of water lifted them up, spreading gardens with sewage. We could not
:02:05. > :02:10.use any of the facilities in the house. No toilets, no showers, no
:02:11. > :02:14.bleeding. So I had to hire a portable toilet at my own cost,
:02:15. > :02:20.because Anglian Water did not deem it as their responsibility. We had
:02:21. > :02:23.to sort yourself out. This region has not been submerged like the
:02:24. > :02:26.south`west but here, for those that were caught out, the impact is still
:02:27. > :02:29.costly. The region's longest`standing MP
:02:30. > :02:31.could be the latest to face deselection by his local
:02:32. > :02:33.Conservative party. Sir Alan Haselhurst, who's represented
:02:34. > :02:39.Saffron Walden since 1977, told Look East today he wants to stand again
:02:40. > :02:42.next year. He'll address the executive of his constituency party
:02:43. > :02:45.on Thursday when they meet to discuss the matter. The local party
:02:46. > :02:49.has confirmed some members feel that, at the age of 76, he should
:02:50. > :02:52.stand down. Last week, Tim Yeo was deselected from South Suffolk.
:02:53. > :02:55.The cause of a fire which tore through an office block in Bedford
:02:56. > :02:59.yesterday is still unclear. Crews were at the Old Town Hall for more
:03:00. > :03:01.than ten hours. The block of former council offices was due to be
:03:02. > :03:04.demolished. To the weekend's football. Stevenage
:03:05. > :03:06.and Colchester's games were postponed due to the weather.
:03:07. > :03:09.Norwich claimed an unlikely but much`needed point in the Premier
:03:10. > :03:11.League and there were some important late goals. Tom Williams rounds up a
:03:12. > :03:14.busy day. late goals.
:03:15. > :03:17.After a 7`0 thrashing in the reverse fixture, Norwich deep down would
:03:18. > :03:19.have been worried about a similar humbling. But this time, the
:03:20. > :03:22.Canaries gave their big`spending visitors cause for concern. Nathan
:03:23. > :03:25.fired an early warning shot. Gary Hooper thought it could have put
:03:26. > :03:29.them in front. The linesman had other ideas. Man City soon woke up.
:03:30. > :03:34.Although Man City dominated second half possession and chances, it was
:03:35. > :03:37.Norwich who could have stolen it. Van Wolfswinkle within a whisker of
:03:38. > :03:42.converting Nathan Redden's cross. Seconds later, Anthony Pilkington so
:03:43. > :03:45.close but the wrong side of the bar. With City's relegation rivals
:03:46. > :03:50.picking up points, this point could prove vital.
:03:51. > :03:53.McCarthy described the draw at Barnsley as a blooming good point.
:03:54. > :03:59.Two down with ten to play, Christophe popped up and David's
:04:00. > :04:03.free kicks after made it two. Town three points outside the play`offs.
:04:04. > :04:05.Peterborough also staged a dramatic fightback to League One promotion
:04:06. > :04:09.chasers Leyton Orient 20 minutes from time, as an equaliser was
:04:10. > :04:16.headed before it was won from a distance. Posh up into the
:04:17. > :04:20.play`offs. MK Dons did them a favour beating Walsall. Macleod jipped them
:04:21. > :04:22.in front. Wallsall had a man sent off, allowing Ben Reeves to double
:04:23. > :04:28.their lead. Macleod made it 3`0. Mansfield ended Southend's eight
:04:29. > :04:32.match unbeaten run in League Two, scoring in either half. Clifford was
:04:33. > :04:36.sent off for the Blues, with Leonard wrapping a late consolation.
:04:37. > :04:38.Northampton's survival hopes were dented further. Plymouth 2`0
:04:39. > :04:44.winners, the Cobblers seven points from safety.
:04:45. > :04:49.Rugby and a late converted try gave Northampton Saints victory over
:04:50. > :04:53.Exeter Chiefs as they climbed to the top of the Premiership. In difficult
:04:54. > :04:57.conditions the Saints snuck a tight win 17`16, moving them up the table
:04:58. > :05:03.one point ahead of Saracens, who lost at home to London Irish earlier
:05:04. > :05:09.on Saturday. To the weather and here's Georgina
:05:10. > :05:14.Burnett. Good evening. I am afraid it is
:05:15. > :05:21.going to be colder, which we ahead and the Met Office has got a yellow
:05:22. > :05:25.warning for ice. That is until 10am. Be careful if you are driving.
:05:26. > :05:27.Through the night, just a view showers around. The winds finally
:05:28. > :05:32.easing. Temperatures dipping a little more than they have, close to
:05:33. > :05:37.freezing in some parts. Tomorrow morning, some showy outbreaks of
:05:38. > :05:41.rain for the morning commute. Improving by the afternoon so any
:05:42. > :05:45.brightness later on in the day. Temperatures up to six or seven
:05:46. > :05:48.Celsius but a lot less windy. Between Tuesday and Thursday, more
:05:49. > :05:51.wet and windy weather is on the cards. The Met Office are some
:05:52. > :05:54.yellow warnings in place. I will keep you updated.
:05:55. > :05:57.That's it for now. I'll be back with another bulletin tonight at around
:05:58. > :06:11.10:15. Until then, have a good evening.
:06:12. > :06:16.Good evening. We have a significant number of severe warnings out. Most
:06:17. > :06:21.of them have been issued on the River Thames today. Now, of course,
:06:22. > :06:26.with more rain due this week, that is not good news, and as well as
:06:27. > :06:30.that, we are expecting some gales as well on the coast. But this week,
:06:31. > :06:35.perhaps an increased risk of some snow as well. At the moment we are
:06:36. > :06:40.in a quiet spell of weather, with fewer showers around, this evening
:06:41. > :06:43.and overnight. There is a risk as temperatures get close to freezing
:06:44. > :06:47.that there could be some ice first thing in the morning. Temperatures
:06:48. > :06:51.will be lower out in the countryside. We could even have a
:06:52. > :06:55.smattering of snow tonight and first thing in the morning over the hills
:06:56. > :06:58.of Wales, the Midlands, up into northern England and Scotland. But
:06:59. > :07:02.tomorrow will be quieter, once again. Still scattered showers
:07:03. > :07:03.around. For the east of
