been cancelled and delayed, and roads left impassable. I've been on | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
patrol for ten years and never seen it like this. As a result, so many | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
people are taking too many chances, driving through big puddles. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |

homeowners, motorists and commuters as once again heavy rainfall has | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
flooded homes, causing major delays and cancellations on the rail | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
network and leaving many roads impassable. The Environment Agency | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
has 11 flood warnings and alerts in place across the South East this | :01:36. | :01:38. | |

have water coming from the front. We also have water coming from the back | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
with the garden saturated. As fast as water is pumped, it returns. This | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
person spent Christmas flooded also. No warning. I did not particularly | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
listen to the weather forecast but listen to the weather forecast but | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
there was no warning. We have been completely unprepared. We h`ve loads | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
of sandbags. We did not put them out. No, taken unawares again. Fire | :03:03. | :03:06. | |

They have a difficult balancing act to perform. If we pump too luch | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
to perform. If we pump too much water into the river we will make it | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
worse for people who live further down and so we are trying to hold | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the water as opposed to pumping it away. The extent of the range `` | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
rain seems to have taken people by surprise. The council have not | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
issued enough sandbags. The community are helping. I phoned the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
council and they cannot isste sandbags. It can take four days. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |

not here, and the Tonbridge town walls were not in Tonbridge, this | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
kind of event would seek flooding in Tonbridge. There seems to be no | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Tonbridge. There seems to bd no letup. This afternoon and evening, | :04:15. | :04:21. | |

also further downstream that is at risk, such as villages such as | :04:31. | :04:42. | |
Edenbridge, with warnings in place. The weather has caused chaos on the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
roads. Ellie Price is at Three Bridges, near Crawley. What is the | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
latest? Trains are running on a limited service. The flood waters | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
have gone down but evidence of what happened earlier is still here, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
including Redcar, whose driver decided to brave the flood water and | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
did not get out again. It is a phrase we have heard a lot of, rain | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
falling on saturated ground. But this is what happens when it does. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
And despite the flood is making these roads impassable, it did not | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
stop some motorists from trxing The car was stuck in the water. The road | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
was flooded. Cars were passhng was flooded. Cars were passing | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
through, unfortunately my stuck in the water. We have every av`ilable | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the water. We have every available man on the road. I have been on | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
patrol for ten years and have not seen it like this. As a result, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
seen it like this. As a restlt, people are taking too many chances | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
and unfortunately, it will be game over for a lot of vehicles. If the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
road is closed, it means closed. We have many cars who took the risk and | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
suffered the consequences. And also suffered the consequences. And also | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
people in 4x4 vehicles and lorries going too fast because they can. It | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
was not just the smaller ro`ds. going too fast because they can It | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
was not just the smaller roads. Part of the M25 and others were shot. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Floodwater brought chaos to the morning commute. It was a shmilar | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
story on the trains with flooding leaving Haywards Heath commtters | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
stranded until mid`morning. A bus was the best East Grinstead | :06:26. | :06:27. | |

Britain, it rains, but chaos seems to rule again. I am waiting for a | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
bus but I do not know when it will bus but I do not know when ht will | :06:37. | :06:41. | |

come. The problem is there is nowhere for the rain to drahn. The | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
concern is that there will be more. They are praying it will not | :06:47. | :06:47. | |
happen. Businesses in Crawldy are happen. Businesses in Crawley are | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
already counting the cost of more rain. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Today the government has announced an extra ?6.7 million to help local | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
councils cope with the effects of flooding and severe weather. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Speaking to people today, it comes as small comfort. Flooding has | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
brought misery to homeowners in Surrey. Juliette Parkin reports from | :07:13. | :07:17. | |

annoying is getting back to square one, trying to sort out, and you are | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
back to this again. The problem is, will we keep getting this in the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
course of the year? This is bad enough. Today, they called `n | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
emergency meeting with the Environment Agency and council, who | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
failed to turn up. Residents field drainage is inadequate and they are | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
worried about new housing plans and feel they have had little hdlp. The | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
feel they have had little help. The issue is it is an unadopted road | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
which might help you come up with a solution or might not. Councils told | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
us today this flooding is on a Private Road and although it is not | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
their responsibility, they say they have helped with sandbags and pumps. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |

everyone by surprise. We expected several bands of showers | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
and they stalled and it meant in some places they saw almost two | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
inches of rain. Elsewhere, we just saw a couple of millimetres. It is | :09:21. | :09:25. | |

For three years, one of Canterbury's best`loved buildings, the Beaney | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
best`loved buildings, the Bdaney Institute, was shrouded in | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
scaffolding while a ?14 million rescue operation took place to save | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
it from rot, deathwatch beetle, woodworm and damp. It reopened 16 | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
woodworm and damp. It reopened 6 months ago and now it's been chosen | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
by the National Gallery as the first venue in the country to display a | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
famous masterpiece by the artist Manet, The Execution Of Maximilian. | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
Manet, The Execution Of Maxhmilian. Charlie Rose has tonight's special | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
report. Chopped up and put back togdther | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
again. This is not your typhcal masterpiece. The parts that could be | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
salvaged were cut up for selling separately and sold off. Degas, He | :17:12. | :17:21. | |
was a good friend of Manet, was appalled and bought the pieces and | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
had them mounted. Today the political message remains intact, | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
implying guilt at the hands of French troops of the death of | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. The leader was put them as a puppet by | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
Napoleon III in the 1860s. He was being immensely radical and putting | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
his views across through thd being immensely radical and putting | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
his views across through the means his views across through thd means | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
he had. And amazingly brillhant and talented artists. Being the first | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
venue to have this on loan from the National Gallery is quite a coup for | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
the Beaney Institute, having just undergone a major refurbishlent One | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
of the things I love about old paintings is the sense of intrigue | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
you get. Who is holding the general's and? Three of thel were | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
general's and? Three of them were executed. There is somebody else on | :18:13. | :18:13. | |
the end. It looks strange. H think the end. It looks strange. H think | :18:14. | :18:22. | |
that is the Emperor Maximilhan. Manet's other versions reveal what | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Manet's other versions reve`l what the original looked like but the | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
mystery about whether the rdmaining mystery about whether the rdmaining | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
pieces exist Wilford now remain mystery about whether the remaining | :18:30. | :18:30. | |
pieces exist Wilford now relain just that. | :18:31. | :18:45. | |
`` will, for now, remain just that. As we know only too well, it has | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
been a cold, wet and miserable day today. But that hasn't stopped | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
30`odd people braving the great elements on Hastings seafront this | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
morning ` naked. What might properly be called a flash mob. They were | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
campaigning for the town's Jerwood Gallery to win a visit from the | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
controversial artist Spencer Tunick. He's the one who gathers huge crowds | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
and photographs them naked. Sarah Smith joins us. You are fully | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
dressed! That is a relief. Up until now Brighton has bden ahead | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
in the public vote and Hastings Up until now Brighton has been ahead | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
in the public vote and Hasthngs has in the public vote and Hastings has | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
decided to take the competition up a notch, hence the strange gathering | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
today. Although it is not rdally today. Although it is not rdally | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
cold January, it has only got as low as nine degrees today, it is wet and | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
it has been windy and it was not a temp in place to be taking xour | :19:38. | :19:41. | |

Perfect for a bracing walks, if you are wrapped up. While this group | :19:48. | :19:51. | |

name of art. I will do anything for art. This town is the most amazing | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
place for artists, writers, anybody creative, anybody a bit left`field. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
The plan is to win a compethtion to bring an artist of worldwide acclaim | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
bring an artist of worldwidd acclaim to Hastings. Spencer Tunick's work | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
involves hundreds of naked bodies creating huge sculptures. If | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
Hastings is chosen, he will do his next piece here. What better way to | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
bid for votes than this? This is next piece here. What better way to | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
bid for votes than this? Thhs is a dress rehearsal, and undress | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
rehearsal. But it was to show what might happen on Hastings be`ch. | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
Everyone supports the gallery efforts. Many had their own reasons | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
for taking part. I gave birth five months ago and thought it would be | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
liberating to get naked and get rid of the fear of the post`pregnancy | :21:02. | :21:07. | |

or at least not windy and wet. There was no escaping the jail. It is | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
exhilarating, wonderful. I would gladly do it again `` escaphng the | :21:22. | :21:23. | |

public has another ten days to vote. In May, Spencer Tunick will arrive | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
at which have a location wins and on the seafront he will set up a | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
spectacular set piece. It is understood up to 250 people will | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
take part, all of them naked, but at least in May, the weather whll be | :21:53. | :21:59. | |

British cycling is currentlx British cycling is currently | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
enjoying an unprecedented pdriod of success on the road, on the track | :23:26. | :23:30. | |

Ashford has just been crowndd British cyclo`cross champion for the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
third time. And he's hoping his success will help to promotd this | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
success will help to promote this less well known version of the | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
sport, as Neil Bell reports. It might not contain the tension and | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
theatre of the velodrome or the scale and spectacle of the Tour de | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
France, but cyclo`cross is one of the purist forms of cycling. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Competitors battle elements, obstacles and each other. The | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
British champion Ian Field was almost immediately hooked. I started | :24:04. | :24:06. | |

skip and that is the level you can be introduced to the sport. It is a | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
safe way to get involved in cycling. It is a family orientated | :24:17. | :24:23. | |

in Derby. Dartford cyclo Park has also seen a surge in the sport's | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
popularity. It is having appealed to have fun on a bicycle. It is not | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
complicated. You ride in atrocious conditions, but it is the epitome of | :24:45. | :24:48. | |

I do not think he wants the mud, he is just good at coping with it. The | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
rain, we have had enough. It is looking better at least over | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
the weekend. Any rain is unwelcome. The heavy showers last night, | :25:37. | :25:41. | |

Showers that we are seeing tonight we expect to be lighter. On | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Saturday, it will be overcast. It will be a drier story than we | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
expected. Much of the heavy rain staying to the West. It is still an | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
overcast and damp start. It will brighten up the first part of the | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
