:00:00. > 3:59:59end of the week? No. Had Russia heading our way and wet and windy
:00:00. > :00:00.again. That is Hello and welcome to Midlands Today.
:00:00. > :00:08.The headlines tonight: Fifty residents rescued from sheltered
:00:09. > :00:17.accommodation in Worcester as the flood waters continue to rise.
:00:18. > :00:23.Yesterday I could get to work through the laundrette, and we were
:00:24. > :00:26.all right. But this morning when we tried to go to work there was no way
:00:27. > :00:29.to get out. Families and businesses across the
:00:30. > :00:31.region are feeling the force of the floods this evening.
:00:32. > :00:34.In Herefordshire, families have been trapped as the River Wye continues
:00:35. > :00:38.to rise. In Shropshire, flood barriers may be doing their job, but
:00:39. > :00:47.businesses are still feeling the impact.
:00:48. > :00:51.Of the ten museums we have had to close two.
:00:52. > :00:54.While farmers across the region have stepped in with animal feed to help
:00:55. > :00:58.farms submerged in floods on the Somerset Levels.
:00:59. > :01:02.And this is what we so desperately need and what I'm sure we're all
:01:03. > :01:05.dying to see. Believe it or not, it is still possible this week. But
:01:06. > :01:07.will it make any difference against the backlash of rain? Find out later
:01:08. > :01:19.how much more we can expect. Good evening. The River Severn
:01:20. > :01:25.reached its highest recorded level in Worcester today matching the peak
:01:26. > :01:29.in the floods of 2007. At Barbourne in the city, it hit 5.65 metres and
:01:30. > :01:35.there are fears it could rise further. The Wye's also giving
:01:36. > :01:41.concern. In Ross on Wye, the river's reached 4.32 metres ` still below
:01:42. > :01:45.2007 levels but expected to rise. Across the region, there are 42
:01:46. > :01:49.flood warnings tonight and 40 flood alerts. We've four reports tonight `
:01:50. > :01:51.from Herefordshire and from our reporters along the Severn, in
:01:52. > :01:58.Goucestershire, in Shropshire and first from Ben Sidwell in Worcester.
:01:59. > :02:01.Being led to safety. The residents of these sheltered housing flats in
:02:02. > :02:08.Worcester usually have a beautiful view of the River Severn. Today that
:02:09. > :02:19.view was too close for comfort. Around the 43 flats 2`3 feet of
:02:20. > :02:25.water. It is a worry. You are living next to the River Severn. We can't
:02:26. > :02:31.get flood insurance. I have no insurance. But I have put everything
:02:32. > :02:34.up off the floor. Specialist Water Rescue Teams from
:02:35. > :02:40.Hereford Worcester Fire Service called in to help evacuate the 50 or
:02:41. > :02:47.so residents. Yesterday I could get out to work through the laundrette.
:02:48. > :02:53.But this morning when we tried to go to work there was no way we could
:02:54. > :02:59.get out. The situation is untenable. We are moving around the corner.
:03:00. > :03:03.Behind me there are sandbags around the wooden structure, that is a
:03:04. > :03:08.small electricity substation. If that goes, part of the city will its
:03:09. > :03:12.power. From the air the extent of the flooding was even more clear.
:03:13. > :03:15.Roads, paths and fields all now just an extension of the River Severn.
:03:16. > :03:25.And for commuters travelling around Worcester became a battle in itself.
:03:26. > :03:31.This is the only way to get from one side of Worcester to the other. The
:03:32. > :03:35.main bridges closed, this road is over a foot underwater. The only way
:03:36. > :03:41.people can get from one side to the other is now by shuttle bus.
:03:42. > :03:50.It is absolutely crazy. I've never seen anything like this. The queues
:03:51. > :03:53.this morning were horrendous. We have got them all across. Good job.
:03:54. > :03:57.Some did just manage to get through using another form of transport, but
:03:58. > :04:04.with the waters still rising those crossing the bridge had fears they
:04:05. > :04:07.may not make it back. I am worried. I have come from
:04:08. > :04:14.Stratford`upon`Avon. I hope I can get home tonight. We will get back.
:04:15. > :04:18.It doesn't worry us. We can stay for coffee. At least these residents
:04:19. > :04:22.will be able to stay somewhere safe and dry now, but they're unlikely to
:04:23. > :04:27.be the last people rescued from rising waters in Worcester this
:04:28. > :04:31.week. Well, Ben is in the centre of Worcester now, a city of 100,000 cut
:04:32. > :04:40.in two when the main bridge over the Severn was shut. Ben, what's the
:04:41. > :04:45.latest? Well, the bridge remains closed. It will do for some time.
:04:46. > :04:53.Other problems in Worcester, West tellers there are 4000 homes without
:04:54. > :04:59.power, 10,000 homes across the West Midlands with no electricity at all.
:05:00. > :05:04.Dave Hudson is from the Environment Agency. We are 50 metres from where
:05:05. > :05:09.the bank should be. The worst floods we have seen. Yes, the river levels
:05:10. > :05:17.are high. An important difference from this and 2007 is the
:05:18. > :05:24.high`intensity rain. Tens of thousands of properties were
:05:25. > :05:30.flooded. We are talking about 1400 properties, we have protected 10,000
:05:31. > :05:37.or more. It is a lot, I got the numbers wrong. What about the
:05:38. > :05:43.barriers? People are saying will it hold because there is more rain
:05:44. > :05:49.tonight. We are confident the barriers will be OK. I was up at one
:05:50. > :05:56.of them is morning. There was a good way to go yet. We have seen nothing
:05:57. > :06:00.forecast that will imply anything getting to that seriousness. The
:06:01. > :06:04.weather here is dry at the moment, very windy but it looks like there
:06:05. > :06:11.may be some rain later. This water is still rising in the city.
:06:12. > :06:14.Getting about is a major problem in flooded areas and roads can rapidly
:06:15. > :06:17.become impassable, leaving families cut`off. Sarah Falkland reports on
:06:18. > :06:23.coping with the floods in Herefordshire.
:06:24. > :06:29.It isn't often people are quite so delighted to see a film crew but
:06:30. > :06:34.Dave has not had any visitors for a week. Bad drainage means the roads
:06:35. > :06:40.to his home has become a river. Horrendous. At the moment it has
:06:41. > :06:45.reduced six inches in depth. This is the end of the lane where it is the
:06:46. > :06:50.shallowest. At the bottom it is two feet plus. While Dave can hop over
:06:51. > :06:56.the fields, his mother`in`law can not. She needed a first responder
:06:57. > :07:03.team to get her to hospital. I am fed up with it. This year is worse
:07:04. > :07:09.than last year. We went down in the 4`wheel drive and it was really
:07:10. > :07:15.really frightening. And it must have been for anyone near the river. The
:07:16. > :07:22.roads were all but impassable and nearby drivers had to content with
:07:23. > :07:32.flash flooding. You have to be very very careful. I am taking it easy.
:07:33. > :07:36.Are you OK in the floodwater? I am not hanging around. The flood water
:07:37. > :07:42.caused problems on the main road as well. And at the farm they were
:07:43. > :07:46.repairing the worst. The farmer is expecting cattle to be flooded out
:07:47. > :07:52.by the morning. So much for the country but inner`city it is pretty
:07:53. > :07:57.much business as usual. The River Wye is behaving itself, not too
:07:58. > :08:01.menacing, only one flood warning in place but that is further
:08:02. > :08:07.downstream. Further along the River Wye, at least one inhabitant is
:08:08. > :08:14.oblivious of the drama. Divina the seal spotted near Monmouth. Well,
:08:15. > :08:18.Shefali is in the newsroom. More rain to come. And lots of reports of
:08:19. > :08:22.storm damage tonight. Virgin Trains suspending most services we've been
:08:23. > :08:31.told. And at least 30 roads blocked in Shropshire alone? It is grim.
:08:32. > :08:37.Yesterday we mentioned amber warnings, strong gusts of 60 miles
:08:38. > :08:43.an hour and as you will see later, it has been confirmed by the figures
:08:44. > :08:48.and wind speed. We haven't managed to record any huge amounts of rain
:08:49. > :08:56.but the potential was there for an inch of rain. So expect the same
:08:57. > :09:05.later this week. More low pressure is moving up. Gloucestershire
:09:06. > :09:09.suffered some of the worst flooding in 2007. The worry now is that the
:09:10. > :09:13.latest heavy rain could see some homes flooded for the first time
:09:14. > :09:15.since then, as Steve Knibbs has been finding out.
:09:16. > :09:19.This was a riverside caravan park ` now part of the river. The
:09:20. > :09:22.electrical hook ups poke out of the water in the distance. With the
:09:23. > :09:29.Severn expected to rise, the owners are once again on edge. Just packing
:09:30. > :09:37.an overnight bag in case we have to move out. The moment we think we are
:09:38. > :09:43.safe, not 100% certain, you have to take each day and each hour as it
:09:44. > :09:47.comes. This is an area used to battening down the hatches. In
:09:48. > :09:54.Longford, people are ready well in advance. People know the score, they
:09:55. > :09:57.all have televisions. They experienced 2007.
:09:58. > :10:00.And the sandbags keep on coming ` well over 1500 have been delivered
:10:01. > :10:07.this week in Tewkesbury Borough alone. It is important the sandbags
:10:08. > :10:10.are going to the right people in the right way. We deliver sandbags to
:10:11. > :10:16.vulnerable people. But not all of them seem to be
:10:17. > :10:20.staying put. There were two tonnes of sandbags and there was a time
:10:21. > :10:23.taken away. The emergency services are ready
:10:24. > :10:27.too. Today fire crews trained to launch one of their boats in the
:10:28. > :10:30.choppy swollen river at Gloucester with serious discussions taking
:10:31. > :10:38.place to make sure the county is ready. The local resilience Forum is
:10:39. > :10:42.meeting, they are looking at contingency measures to be put in
:10:43. > :10:47.place. It is an opportunity to reassure people we are doing
:10:48. > :10:51.everything we can to make sure they stay safe. This van driver was
:10:52. > :10:58.rescued after thinking he could make it along a flooded road. The risk
:10:59. > :11:01.took up valuable time from the Welsh fire crews sent in to save him.
:11:02. > :11:05.Rising river levels are posing a real threat to life and property
:11:06. > :11:08.tonight, but so far flood barriers are doing their job. There has been
:11:09. > :11:11.an impact, though, on businesses and tourist attractions, as Joanne
:11:12. > :11:14.Writtle's been finding out along the River Severn in Shropshire.
:11:15. > :11:20.Ironbridge in Shropshire ` flood barriers holding back water. But not
:11:21. > :11:29.everywhere's escaped. A short distance away museums have been hit.
:11:30. > :11:38.Of the ten museums through the site, we have closed two. At the antiques
:11:39. > :11:46.and craft centre volunteers and business owners have moved stock
:11:47. > :11:51.from the ground. This is the one thing that is put into people, to
:11:52. > :11:53.help one another in dire need like this.
:11:54. > :12:00.The water has seeped in once this week. They fear it'll return soon.
:12:01. > :12:07.We are quite worried because we have 75 traders in here which is a lots
:12:08. > :12:11.of stock and we have been moving the stock to try to protect it because
:12:12. > :12:17.it is their businesses as well as ours.
:12:18. > :12:20.Hit hasn't stopped raining ours and we headed further downstream where
:12:21. > :12:25.the water is causing yet more problems. The town's golf course has
:12:26. > :12:28.been closed for days. A few holes beside the river were initially
:12:29. > :12:38.closed, but now swathes of the course have been affected by
:12:39. > :12:43.constant rain. Gutted. The club is losing money obviously. We are
:12:44. > :12:47.hoping for some fair`weather to get members back on the course playing
:12:48. > :12:50.again and we can generate revenue. Pitches at the riverside Bridgnorth
:12:51. > :12:53.Rugby Club are submerged. And the neighbouring children's play area
:12:54. > :12:55.out of action. The River Severn is wild right now. And all this water
:12:56. > :13:05.is heading to Worcestershire. Well, amidst all the concern about
:13:06. > :13:09.rising river levels here, farmers in Somerset have been coping with
:13:10. > :13:12.dreadful floods for a month now. Many can't get on their land and
:13:13. > :13:15.they're struggling to find the money to feed livestock. Our Rural Affairs
:13:16. > :13:18.Correspondent David Gregory`Kumar reports on how food aid from our
:13:19. > :13:25.farming community is helping them survive.
:13:26. > :13:33.Another load of donations arrives at Morton Bagot in Warwickshire. Last
:13:34. > :13:41.Wednesday, we watched the news in the evening, watching him loading
:13:42. > :13:49.his cattle up in the water. He was talking about where will his life be
:13:50. > :13:57.from now on? Will he be a bit carry on farming? He is a large farmer. If
:13:58. > :14:01.he is struggling, the smaller farmers will be struggling even more
:14:02. > :14:04.so. So the word went out on social media and internet forums and this
:14:05. > :14:08.is the response, tonnes of food and bedding but this is half the battle,
:14:09. > :14:17.next you have to get it to the Somerset floodzone. Few down to
:14:18. > :14:22.Somerset will be ?200 and that is just one cost but it is for a good
:14:23. > :14:29.cause and if we can do our bit, we will. This help is welcomed by the
:14:30. > :14:36.Somerset farmers. It is wonderful however one has chipped in to help
:14:37. > :14:41.us. This donation will become feed for cattle and in the longer term
:14:42. > :14:46.farmers will be looking to donate grass seeds so they can help farmers
:14:47. > :14:51.in Somerset reseed the land when the water levels go down to grow grass
:14:52. > :14:57.for cattle and sheep. When the puddles dry up on the levels they
:14:58. > :15:02.are likely to have no grass for months and months. They are going to
:15:03. > :15:09.be desperate for forage for a long long time. We are in this the long
:15:10. > :15:13.haul. This help will continue long after the waters have disappeared.
:15:14. > :15:16.We'll have the latest on the flooding a little later. But, to
:15:17. > :15:20.keep right up to date with conditions close to you, the best
:15:21. > :15:26.advice as always is to tune into your bbc local radio station.
:15:27. > :15:30.The accomplice of a triple murderer has been found guilty of aiding her
:15:31. > :15:33.sadistic killing spree. Joanna Dennehy killed three men in
:15:34. > :15:36.Cambridgeshire and Gary Stretch helped get rid of the bodies. They
:15:37. > :15:40.then drove to Herefordshire where Stretch used to live. In Hereford,
:15:41. > :15:47.Dennehy stabbed two men at random ` both survived. Giles Latcham has the
:15:48. > :15:49.background to a shocking case. Strolling hand in hand at motorway
:15:50. > :15:53.services in Worcestershire, the odd couple ` cold`eyed killer Joanna
:15:54. > :15:59.Dennehy and her giant sidekick seven foot three Gary Stretch. She with
:16:00. > :16:03.three murders already to her name ` he her faithful driver and helper
:16:04. > :16:13.and the orgy of violence was far from over. If the police in Hereford
:16:14. > :16:20.had not intervened when they did, where this trail of destruction
:16:21. > :16:25.would have ended is anyone's guess. She is seen with friends buying, ``
:16:26. > :16:31.tobacco. At random she selected her first victim. It was here the car
:16:32. > :16:35.driven by Gary Stretch pulled up, Joanna Dennehy let out and launched
:16:36. > :16:42.a ferocious attack on a local man, a postman, walking his dog. That man
:16:43. > :16:49.was stabbed twice in the back and shoulder. The man in the shop, Mark
:16:50. > :16:57.Lloyd, was in the car as the attack took place. He has spoken
:16:58. > :17:04.exclusively to the BBC. She had a knife in her hand and a smile on her
:17:05. > :17:08.face. Is it me or is it you? She got in the car, the knife in our hand,
:17:09. > :17:15.she kissed Gary on the cheek and said, thanks for that. Another
:17:16. > :17:21.victim was attacked at random, a dog walker stabbed 40 times. She said
:17:22. > :17:28.something to the effect of luck, you are bleeding, I had better do some
:17:29. > :17:35.more. I think I said, leave me alone, please. Please leave me
:17:36. > :17:42.alone. But she carried on. In Cambridgeshire, she had stabbed
:17:43. > :17:45.three men and Gary Stretch helped dispose of the bodies they headed to
:17:46. > :17:53.Herefordshire a neighbour remembers them turning up. I saw them once in
:17:54. > :17:58.a car. It is the only time I saw her. Gary came in for breakfast and
:17:59. > :18:04.we caught in the gentle giants because he was so polite and I can't
:18:05. > :18:11.believe this has happened. Over the road, other neighbours remember him
:18:12. > :18:15.differently. He played loud music late at night into the early hours
:18:16. > :18:22.and when my dad asked him politely, he would get aggressive and
:18:23. > :18:28.eventually it ended with him throwing potatoes across our drive
:18:29. > :18:34.and at the windows. In April they visited a friend and took pictures,
:18:35. > :18:38.a macabre pose with an ornamental knife and handcuffs on the
:18:39. > :18:46.waistband. Those pictures were taken in Herefordshire. They visited the
:18:47. > :18:52.same day they went to Hereford. She with murder in her mind. In a phone
:18:53. > :18:57.call from prison, Gary Stretch told his ex`wife Joanna Dennehy was off
:18:58. > :19:00.her head, something that turned him from small`time burglar to willing
:19:01. > :19:02.accomplice in murder. Friends or lovers, the true nature of their
:19:03. > :19:06.relationship remains their secret. But together, to a city wholly
:19:07. > :19:12.unused to it, they brought horror both random and extreme.
:19:13. > :19:18.Birmingham City Council's to put up its council tax by 2% as it
:19:19. > :19:22.struggles to save ?822m by 2018. The new city library has a ?1.3m funding
:19:23. > :19:25.gap and could have its opening hours cut. It's been confirmed 1000 jobs
:19:26. > :19:28.will also be lost across the council. The council leader says a
:19:29. > :19:41.survey of Birmingham people showed that they backed the increase.
:19:42. > :19:47.It puts more money into the budget, someone said a million but it

:20:21. > :20:21.anti knife campaign ` her son 18`year`old Joshua Ribera was
:20:22. > :20:32.stabbed and killed last September. Known as Depzman his music had a

:22:45. > :22:51.many roads are blocked. It is looking dreadful. Yes, the north and
:22:52. > :22:57.west of the region has borne the brunt of the damaging winds and the
:22:58. > :23:04.wind speed we have seen across the western fringes would seem to bear
:23:05. > :23:14.that out. They have exceeded 60 mph. Onto the rainfall totals and
:23:15. > :23:21.those have not been as impressive. The totals began to mount up after
:23:22. > :23:24.48 hours. A few saw that, Hereford seems to have been the wettest place
:23:25. > :23:32.in the region without 290 millimetres of rain. We could see
:23:33. > :23:36.more of that by Friday. When the low pressure system is out of the way,
:23:37. > :23:42.we have one days grace and then this next system, and Atlantic glow
:23:43. > :23:49.rattled up. It is coupled with strong winds with wraparound
:23:50. > :23:57.occlusion. Yellow warnings for the rain coming on Friday, it will
:23:58. > :24:01.amount to an inch of rain. It is all totting up and river levels are
:24:02. > :24:08.getting higher. Not great news and more flooding is on the way. For the
:24:09. > :24:13.time being, we are running the risk of some strong gusts across northern
:24:14. > :24:17.and western parts, this is one of the windiest spells of the day this
:24:18. > :24:22.evening and night. After that, they will start to ease but we are
:24:23. > :24:26.looking at a dry periods towards the end of the night but a few showers
:24:27. > :24:34.running across the south and they could turn wintry. Lows of around 12
:24:35. > :24:39.Celsius in towns and cities but lower than that in rural spots.
:24:40. > :24:45.Tomorrow, a dry day, a few showers around the region and tomorrow will
:24:46. > :24:57.be a cold day but some sunshine and the respite from the rain until
:24:58. > :25:00.Friday. Staying with the flooding here and a report now from Sian
:25:01. > :25:03.Lloyd in Bewdley. She's spent the day in the picturesque
:25:04. > :25:06.Worcestershire town on the banks of the River Severn where families are
:25:07. > :25:09.waiting nervously tonight and hoping that the flood barriers will keep
:25:10. > :25:12.the rising waters at bay. The defences have never been tested to
:25:13. > :25:17.this extent. The River Severn is continuing to rise with another peak
:25:18. > :25:22.expected on Friday. Without these defences, Bewdley would be
:25:23. > :25:26.underwater. The town has suffered severe flooding in the past and the
:25:27. > :25:35.people who live along the river are taking chances. Flood barriers and
:25:36. > :25:40.sandbags and it is just a precaution really because I know the river can
:25:41. > :25:46.come up. We have never had it this high before but we never had the
:25:47. > :25:50.defences before. This is trying the defences out. Lindsay is feeling the
:25:51. > :25:55.effects of the weather. She has cancelled bookings for her holiday
:25:56. > :26:03.cottage but a pump is keeping the worst at bay. It is the water table
:26:04. > :26:07.levels. There is so much water in the ground it has to go somewhere so
:26:08. > :26:15.it comes to the floor and it takes the access waterway otherwise I
:26:16. > :26:22.would be knee deep. People here tell me they have never seen the river so
:26:23. > :26:28.high. It matches the peak of the record`breaking floods of 2007. This
:26:29. > :26:36.barrier currently is 1.65 metres high, it is keeping back the River
:26:37. > :26:38.Severn. But it needs to go higher. Bewdley had its big investment in
:26:39. > :26:44.flood defences that other communities are now calling for.
:26:45. > :26:55.Contingency plans are in place, rest centres will be set up should
:26:56. > :26:59.evacuation be needed. Fingers crossed for everybody there. Live
:27:00. > :27:06.now to Worcester. How is the city coping? Well, Worcester is a city
:27:07. > :27:12.used to flooding but even by their standards this is pretty bad. The
:27:13. > :27:19.town has been split into, many roads including the river bridge are
:27:20. > :27:23.closed. Those people living around the river whose properties have not
:27:24. > :27:29.flooded will spend most of the night battling to keep properties dry. And
:27:30. > :27:33.with these levels still rising, it will be a tough night and a very
:27:34. > :27:35.long few days for the people of Worcester.
:27:36. > :27:40.That was the Midlands Today. I'll be back at ten o'clock with the very
:27:41. > :27:44.latest on the floodwaters. Have a good evening. Bye for now.
