Good evening. I'm Tom Williams. A big clear`up operation is underway | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
after violent winds swept the region, disrupting travel and | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
bringing down hundreds of trees. Buildings have been damaged, | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
thousands of homes blacked out and scores of roads have been blocked. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
The highest gusts of wind were recorded at nearly 70mph. | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
The roof of a school sports hall in Northamptonshire peeled back by the | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
force of the wind in the early hours. It has left the Manor School | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
and Sports College in Raunds facing a major repair programme. The top | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
layer of one half of the sports hall roof is completely lifted. All the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
insulation and the rubberised membrane. There is some damage to | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
the brickwork at the top so they must have been very powerful winds. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
At Chatteris in Cambridgeshire, a former antique shop was simply | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
flattened. Neighbours said someone was sleeping here but luckily he was | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
not in when the building collapsed at two o'clock this morning. The | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
wind was unbelievable, the trees and hedges were virtually bent right | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
over. I have never known anything like it. The wind was enough to blow | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
this wall flat in Leighton Buzzard and the roof of the Imperial War | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Museum has again been damaged, closing it for the second time in | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
six weeks. The damage is still being assessed at the moment. What has | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
happened overnight with the extreme wind and weather conditions is that | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
there has been some damage to the roof. We cannot get anyone up there | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
to assess the damage due to the extreme weather so we will be | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
assessing the conditions on Monday. Trains between Ely and Norwich were | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
suspended while trees were cleared from the track. This bridge was | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
closed for 11 hours, and Highways Agency cameras showed the queues | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
that built up when the A14 was shut at Huntingdon to recover the lorry | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
that had been blown over. Near Sudbury, two drivers were sitting in | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
their cars when a tree blew down onto them outside a pub. The wind | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
was just absolutely ferocious. As they got into the cars to move them, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the tree came down on top of them. It was amazing, neither of them were | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
hurt, they came into the pub and enjoyed a beer afterwards. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Electricity engineers have been working to repair damage caused by | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
falling trees, like this one near Brentwood. 11,000 homes and | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
businesses were cut off. Tonight, around 5000 remain without power. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Four men have been remanded in custody until next month, accused of | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
murdering a rap artist in Bedford. Isaac Stone was 19 and was known as | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
Dynamike. He was stabbed to death in Costin Street last month. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
In the football today, Ipswich missed the chance to move into the | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Championship play`off places. They drew 0`0 with Blackpool. It means | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Town stay eighth, two points off the top six. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
In League One, Ben Reeves scored a last minute winner for MK Dons. They | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
beat Oldham 2`1. Stevenage conceded a couple of minutes from time to | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
lose at Rotherham. They stay bottom. The Dons are tenth, seven points off | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the play`offs. Two games last night. No goals in either of the games | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
involving Peterborough or Colchester. This the closest Posh | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
came. Michael Bostwick's shot falling to Britt Assombalonga, who | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
couldn't convert. Peterborough are sixth. They decided quite wisely to | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
take the wind in the first half and that made it difficult for us to get | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
out of our half because of the wind. In the second half, we came on a lot | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
stronger, and on another night, we could have won by a couple, but both | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
teams tried to play, but it was extremely difficult. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
In League Two, Northampton are still bottom. They lost 2`0 at Fleetwood. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Southend let in two goals in the final ten minutes, going down 3`2 at | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
home to Exeter. In rugby, Northampton are back on | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
top of the Premiership. They scored three tries to beat Worcester, who | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
had a man sent off. Last night, Bedford's game was called off due to | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
the weather. ?? new line Let's get the weather now, with Kate Kinsella. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
had a man sent off. Last Good evening. Those damaging winds | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
from the last 24 hours gradually started to ease through the course | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
of today. Tonight will be cold and clear which means the temperature | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
will drop, for some round about zero. There is a weather warning for | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
ice for first thing tomorrow morning. This could be out towards | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
the countryside, and more sheltered spots. It does mean clear skies. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Blue sky and sunshine, really uninterrupted through the whole of | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
tomorrow. The winds will be lighter and temperatures around eight | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
degrees. On Monday, some cloud around. A bit of a breeze, but | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
nothing on the scale of the last few days. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
That's it. We are back tomorrow at quarter`past six and the later time | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
of quarter`past 11. See you then, goodbye. | :04:36. | :04:37. |
