:00:11. > :00:14.13 severe flood warnings are issued by the Environment Agency as more
:00:15. > :00:20.rough weather approaches the South West tonight. Good evening. Welcome
:00:21. > :00:23.to Spotlight. This afternoon, communities around the coast were
:00:24. > :00:27.put on the highest state of alert, meaning there could be a danger to
:00:28. > :00:31.life. People have been shoring up their homes and businesses. We'll
:00:32. > :00:35.have all the details of who is at risk live from the Environment
:00:36. > :00:39.Agency in just a moment. Also tonight: Rail fares go up by an
:00:40. > :00:42.average of 3% here in the South West. Although it's the lowest price
:00:43. > :00:52.rise in four years, it's still causing hardship for some
:00:53. > :00:56.passengers. I can't afford to do it. I travel from Bridgwater to Exeter
:00:57. > :00:58.Monday to Friday, and I will have to look for another job.
:00:59. > :01:04.And struggling Torquay United sack their manager Alan Knill after a
:01:05. > :01:07.disappointing festive period. The public has been warned to stay
:01:08. > :01:10.away from the coastline from tonight and throughout tomorrow because a
:01:11. > :01:15.new deadly tidal surge is expected to hit Britain and could sweep
:01:16. > :01:18.people out to sea. The Environment Agency is warning another violent
:01:19. > :01:20.Atlantic storm is set to sweep across the UK during Friday and
:01:21. > :01:26.Saturday, and its gale`force winds will also force the tides upwards
:01:27. > :01:31.and send it over sea defences. The Met Office expects the rough weather
:01:32. > :01:35.to hit at midnight. It comes on top of a few weeks of poor conditions.
:01:36. > :01:46.John Henderson is live at the Environment Agency for us now. John,
:01:47. > :01:51.how bad is the situation? This is the map that they are paying close
:01:52. > :01:57.attention to her in Exeter. This shows the tidal risk over the next
:01:58. > :02:01.12 to 24 hours. It will turn red in a moment and that is the situation
:02:02. > :02:07.they expect over the next 12 hours. All along the north coast, so here,
:02:08. > :02:11.if it goes ripped red it means a risk of tidal flooding. A lot of
:02:12. > :02:16.people have been battening down the hatches. Emma Thompson spent the day
:02:17. > :02:25.in lieu to see how they are preparing for the storm there.
:02:26. > :02:29.People here preparing for the worst. Businesses were flooded out a year
:02:30. > :02:36.ago. The main street through the town under water. This was the
:02:37. > :02:46.restaurant on the fish quay. It is pretty much like the surge has found
:02:47. > :02:52.a hole somewhere, so even though we have been stealing things in, it
:02:53. > :02:59.still found a way. Today they are ready for the same to happen again.
:03:00. > :03:03.With things coming up the river, we think we should get the wellies in
:03:04. > :03:10.and the bags and tried to protect the place, but it is worrying from a
:03:11. > :03:15.business point of view. If you get flooded, you can't work and staff
:03:16. > :03:21.can't come to work, customers can't get to you, so it is quite worrying
:03:22. > :03:26.for the whole town. And people in the town aren't taking any chances.
:03:27. > :03:35.It will probably come at this very high tide, low barometer, it happens
:03:36. > :03:41.quite frequently. It is a one every other year event, so you should be
:03:42. > :03:45.prepared for it. Further up the coast in South Devon, the flood
:03:46. > :03:51.defence Gates in ten must have been shot to protect Sean Lynam
:03:52. > :03:56.properties. You can insure against flooding, only theft and fire, so
:03:57. > :04:02.the flooding is something you have to put up with. The whole of the
:04:03. > :04:06.south`west coast line is at risk of flooding because of tidal surges
:04:07. > :04:12.expected. Yesterday a holiday maker was washed out to sea in Cornwall.
:04:13. > :04:17.The search was called off today after the body of a man was found on
:04:18. > :04:21.a beach at Porthleven. As coastguards when we do get these
:04:22. > :04:24.large seas with spectacular breaking wins people are tempted to go and
:04:25. > :04:30.watch and that is our biggest concern. While it is spectacular,
:04:31. > :04:36.people underestimate the power of the sea, and those waves could
:04:37. > :04:41.contain rocks and debris which can injure you seriously. It is now a
:04:42. > :04:51.waiting game to see where are the worst of the weather will hit.
:04:52. > :04:54.Let's get the very latest. I am joined by Alan borrows from the
:04:55. > :04:59.Environment Agency stop what is the situation? This chart shows we are
:05:00. > :05:06.coming into severe flood warnings. We have 12 across Devon and Cornwall
:05:07. > :05:11.and so the whole Devon and Cornwall coast is on a severe warning. How
:05:12. > :05:15.many people do you have out and about and what will they be doing?
:05:16. > :05:21.We have people here doing the forecasting, people in incident room
:05:22. > :05:24.is managing people on the ground and floodgates but we also have
:05:25. > :05:27.communities looking at their own defences and making sure they are
:05:28. > :05:35.operating properly. What can people at home do other than sit and wait
:05:36. > :05:39.it out? They can keep an eye on the television and radio broadcasts
:05:40. > :05:45.because things will change. They can keep an eye on the flood line
:05:46. > :05:49.number, and they can prepare. They need to look at their personal
:05:50. > :05:54.belongings, what is important, and move them to safety. We are talking
:05:55. > :06:01.mainly about coastal areas, is that right? Yes, coastal flooding. We had
:06:02. > :06:08.fluvial flooding last week but this is coastal wedding and the tide and
:06:09. > :06:14.wins, you can see on this screen as it is read and that means a beer. So
:06:15. > :06:18.it is not inland you are worried about even though rivers are
:06:19. > :06:24.raging? We had a dry period for the last couple of days so the coastal
:06:25. > :06:28.environment is most important. How unusual to have 13 severe flood
:06:29. > :06:33.warnings? 2008 was the last time we had this but we did not have a
:06:34. > :06:39.coincidence of wind and wave and high tides and are forecast now
:06:40. > :06:45.suggests that we are now looking at severe storms for all Devon and
:06:46. > :06:51.Cornwall. When will it start? We are looking at about 5am tomorrow, I
:06:52. > :06:56.won't too ours either side of 7am, so we need to give people enough
:06:57. > :07:04.time to take action `` around either side. And you can get the latest
:07:05. > :07:06.with local radio and spotlight throughout the day tomorrow.
:07:07. > :07:10.Devon and Cornwall Police have declared a major incident plan in
:07:11. > :07:13.place for the predicted floods. With the latest I'm joined by
:07:14. > :07:20.Superintendent Chris Singer. What sort of scenario you working on? We
:07:21. > :07:24.are working with the Environment Agency and met office, looking at
:07:25. > :07:33.predictions. The area is were largely be coastal. It is the
:07:34. > :07:37.low`lying areas, so all those areas where we know high waves will cause
:07:38. > :07:42.damage, so it is those areas we anticipate will be worst affected.
:07:43. > :07:48.Looking at the list, it is a huge operation. It is but we are well
:07:49. > :07:53.versed at practising these things and putting them into place, so just
:07:54. > :07:57.in October for the last severe weather warning we had a similar
:07:58. > :08:02.plan, and we work closely with our colleagues, the environmental agency
:08:03. > :08:07.is the lead agency and provide us with the majority of information to
:08:08. > :08:13.help us with our plan. It is very unusual to have a major incident.
:08:14. > :08:18.Yes, it signifies an incident where RE sources or those of an agency
:08:19. > :08:22.could become overwhelmed so we need to work together to make sure we
:08:23. > :08:27.keep people safe. What is your message to them tonight? It is
:08:28. > :08:32.pleased they await from areas where there may be risk. The tragedy in
:08:33. > :08:36.the last few days are fresh in our minds and our thoughts go to those
:08:37. > :08:40.at fact that, but please don't place yourselves at risk, watching waves
:08:41. > :08:44.and storms, from a safe distance okayed that do not be tempted onto
:08:45. > :08:52.beaches and run the risk of being swept off her feet. `` off your
:08:53. > :08:55.feet. Thank you. Rail fares for South West train
:08:56. > :08:57.passengers went up today. They've increased on average by 3.1%. The
:08:58. > :09:01.Government says the below`inflation rise is the lowest for four years,
:09:02. > :09:07.but passenger groups point out prices are still rising faster than
:09:08. > :09:14.wages. Not everybody's returns to work yet so this morning's commute
:09:15. > :09:19.was quiet, where members of the Green party highlighted `` pointed
:09:20. > :09:23.out leaflets to passengers highlighting their campaign to bring
:09:24. > :09:27.the franchise back into public ownership. We believe it will mean
:09:28. > :09:33.lower fares and save money for the taxpayer because the privatised rail
:09:34. > :09:38.industry is a failure for the taxpayer. We have thrown money at
:09:39. > :09:43.industries rather than invested it in their railways and cut fares. But
:09:44. > :09:48.from today ticket prices go up an average of 2.8%. The price of an
:09:49. > :09:53.off`peak return from Penzance to London will increase by ?4. The cost
:09:54. > :09:58.of travelling from Paddington to Exeter and back at peak times will
:09:59. > :10:04.rise by ?7, while it will cost you an extra ?3 50 for an early`morning
:10:05. > :10:08.single from Birmingham to Plymouth. Locally the cost of an off`peak day
:10:09. > :10:13.return from Plymouth to Gunnislake rises by 20p. I travel from
:10:14. > :10:18.Bridgwater to Exeter Monday to Friday, and I have to look for
:10:19. > :10:27.another job because I can't afford to do it. Is it that serious? Yes.
:10:28. > :10:32.It is. I regard it as inevitable. I can't think of a year when fares
:10:33. > :10:38.have not gone up. If it is about 3% that seems to me to be kind of what
:10:39. > :10:43.you expect. I have no problems with the train I catch on a regular
:10:44. > :10:49.basis, so the prices are just part of the game, really. The government
:10:50. > :10:53.says the increase is in line with its pledge to peg any rise below
:10:54. > :10:59.inflation and that pay commuters' pay will continue to drive the
:11:00. > :11:04.programme of real modernisation `` what they pay. We recognise the
:11:05. > :11:11.attack on family budgets and have been investing to make sure the rail
:11:12. > :11:15.fares are kept under control. We are trying to ensure they don't see the
:11:16. > :11:20.sort of increases you have seen for the last decade. While this is the
:11:21. > :11:25.first below inflation increase in ticket prices for ten years, those
:11:26. > :11:29.prices are rising three times faster than wages, so many commuters will
:11:30. > :11:32.be starting the New Year with some difficult decisions to make.
:11:33. > :11:34.It's been confirmed the Indian government has terminated its
:11:35. > :11:38.contract with the Yeovil based helicopter manufacturer GKN
:11:39. > :11:41.AgustaWestland. The deal was for 12 British`made helicopters to form an
:11:42. > :11:47.elite squadron to transport the President, the Prime Minister and
:11:48. > :11:49.other VIPs. Indian defence officials said they scrapped the deal after
:11:50. > :12:02.allegations of corruption ` something the company has always
:12:03. > :12:08.denied. Barred owls are facing a serious threat to their future.
:12:09. > :12:14.Success of bad weather has wiped out their main food source, bowls.

:12:29. > :12:32.scheme to help pregnant women stop smoking. It's one of the first
:12:33. > :12:35.regions in the country to develop a specialist midwife role to work with
:12:36. > :12:40.mums`to`be to kick the habit. So how are things going? Phillipa is still
:12:41. > :12:43.of tobacco six months after giving birth to her second child. She
:12:44. > :12:49.managed to quit the habit after her first baby but relapsed because of
:12:50. > :12:52.postnatal depression. With the help of this specialist midwife in Yeovil
:12:53. > :13:00.she has managed to stay clear of smoking. By the time we decided to
:13:01. > :13:07.try former next baby, I was back on to ten, 15 a day, and I felt very
:13:08. > :13:14.quickly and I wasn't in the mindset to give up smoking, and so then I
:13:15. > :13:20.found it at that the service and I gave them a call and came in, and
:13:21. > :13:25.now here I am, still a nonsmoker. As well as being one of the first bases
:13:26. > :13:27.in the country to appoint an anti`smoking specialist, Somerset
:13:28. > :13:34.has been given new powers to dispense nicotine patches in
:13:35. > :13:38.maternity wards. At the moment they need to write a prescription and it
:13:39. > :13:42.needs to be signed by a doctor and go to the pharmacy, so it is a
:13:43. > :13:47.complex procedure that we are working to change some of those
:13:48. > :13:50.systems. From the evidence you can see her, smoking is clearly still a
:13:51. > :13:58.problem outside our maternity units. The government has set a target for
:13:59. > :14:03.2015. They want no more than 11% of women to be smoking at time of
:14:04. > :14:07.delivery. Smoking in pregnancy is especially dangerous for an born
:14:08. > :14:12.children, increasing the risk of miscarriage is by nearly a third.
:14:13. > :14:15.The baby is more likely to develop reading problems, so it is essential
:14:16. > :14:21.more pregnant women are given every chance to quit smoking.
:14:22. > :14:25.Thanks for joining us this evening. Still ahead in the programme: A big
:14:26. > :14:28.industry with big hope for the New Year ` the South West's massive
:14:29. > :14:34.contribution to the marine industry. And the latest on flood warnings
:14:35. > :14:37.across the South West. The recession has seen an increase
:14:38. > :14:41.in people in the South West wanting to retrain as counsellors. According
:14:42. > :14:43.to the profession's governing body, the British Association for
:14:44. > :14:57.Counselling and Psychotherapy, numbers have more than doubled in
:14:58. > :15:02.recent years. Three years ago Karen Green was made redundant. Although
:15:03. > :15:06.it didn't feel like it at the time, for her eight`year`old daughter and
:15:07. > :15:10.for Karen, it was the best thing that could have happened. Having
:15:11. > :15:15.lost her job, she retrained as a councillor and now works from home.
:15:16. > :15:20.It was a chance for a big life change for me. It had been a dream
:15:21. > :15:25.of mine for a long time but like many people who have done their job
:15:26. > :15:35.for 20 years, inertia sets in and I didn't quite have whatever I needed
:15:36. > :15:40.to make the jump. So when everything changed in the public sector, things
:15:41. > :15:46.shrunk, it was the obvious thing. According to the profession's
:15:47. > :15:51.governing body, nearly 85% of student counsellors are aged between
:15:52. > :15:56.30 and 50, indicating many have previously pursued a different
:15:57. > :16:01.career. For many years I worked with drug and alcohol addiction, and I
:16:02. > :16:13.find there is a huge need around that area for help, and I've always
:16:14. > :16:16.wanted to do something like that. Exeter's College has seen a huge
:16:17. > :16:22.increase in numbers entering the profession. Counselling is a popular
:16:23. > :16:26.sector to come and retrain, especially if people leave one job
:16:27. > :16:31.or are maybe redundant and have a sum of money, it is a way of
:16:32. > :16:35.thinking how to use that effectively and people often have held a real
:16:36. > :16:41.desire to train as a councillor and it is a times to do that, so we have
:16:42. > :16:48.seen that number is broadly have continued to be very broad `` very
:16:49. > :16:52.buoyant. As this therapy becomes less stigmatised, numbers referred
:16:53. > :16:57.for counselling have increased too. One area you might be able to find a
:16:58. > :17:00.job in the South West is in the marine industry. Do a quick search
:17:01. > :17:04.and you'll find plenty of vacancies. That's because we play such a big
:17:05. > :17:08.part in the sector. With almost ?900 million a year in turnover, we take
:17:09. > :17:13.the biggest share of the pie across the UK. Boat`building alone brings
:17:14. > :17:16.in more than ?500 million. And there are high hopes of further growth in
:17:17. > :17:19.this New Year. Louise Walter has been to one company in Cornwall
:17:20. > :17:28.that's looking to increase its workforce by a third. They've just
:17:29. > :17:35.loves boats. Designing them, building them, driving them, he
:17:36. > :17:41.loves them. Most people who want to be a boat builder do it for the love
:17:42. > :17:45.and creation of the objects we build. We feel privileged to be able
:17:46. > :17:52.to build such default and exciting things. And as is that passion that
:17:53. > :17:57.has seen his boat builder grow from one man and a bag of tools to a
:17:58. > :18:01.company employing 30 people. This year they sold their first foreign
:18:02. > :18:07.experts, including this tender for a superyacht. To get into the market
:18:08. > :18:11.Dave took a gamble. He reached in his own pocket to finance building
:18:12. > :18:17.this boat is a demonstrator, which he took to the Monaco yacht show.
:18:18. > :18:21.Tried to get a small company's name out there is quite difficult, and
:18:22. > :18:25.there are numerous clients we have been talking to about projects which
:18:26. > :18:31.haven't actually seen our work in the flesh, and it was an ideal
:18:32. > :18:37.chance to get them out on this boat. It is a decision he has not
:18:38. > :18:43.regretted, but it is not the only thing taking off. This company has
:18:44. > :18:49.gone from building a couple of votes a year to having four in production.
:18:50. > :18:54.To keep up with demand, the company will increase its workforce by a
:18:55. > :18:58.third in the next year. Mainly skilled tradesman but we need
:18:59. > :19:01.management skills as well, so we definitely need more project
:19:02. > :19:09.managers and as the business grows, we will need some backroom support
:19:10. > :19:14.staff. Cock wealth has seen year`on`year growth, but not all
:19:15. > :19:22.companies have phoned the recession plain sailing. Plymouth yachts had
:19:23. > :19:27.to reduce staff working hours and faced redundancy years ago, but the
:19:28. > :19:34.industry seems to have come out stronger. It shows how you can save
:19:35. > :19:38.money and make money, so the marine industry has been good at revaluing
:19:39. > :19:45.think what it does, slimming back to keep the top economic times. Will
:19:46. > :19:50.believes it is the variety of the marine industry that helped survive.
:19:51. > :19:56.You have entry`level building of canoes, kayaks, up to the large
:19:57. > :19:59.super yachts, so we have quality running through at a scale from the
:20:00. > :20:07.smallest projects up to the very top. He is confident further growth
:20:08. > :20:09.is possible for his members in 2014. Today's big sports story surrounds
:20:10. > :20:13.Torquay United, who've sacked their manager Alan Knill after only 11
:20:14. > :20:16.months in charge. The 49`year`old saved the Gulls from relegation last
:20:17. > :20:21.May, but they find themselves in serious trouble once again going
:20:22. > :20:29.into the New Year. With me is Dave Gibbins to discuss the events at
:20:30. > :20:35.Plainmoor. Why part company with him now? We have just started 2014 and
:20:36. > :20:41.that means the January transfer window opened yesterday, and that is
:20:42. > :20:46.when permanent signings take place. With Torquay United boss or next to
:20:47. > :20:51.bottom of the league, the board think a new manager could come in
:20:52. > :20:55.with his knowledge and start ringing new players and sell the assets they
:20:56. > :20:59.have. Look at Alan Knill's record since he took over as caretaker
:21:00. > :21:08.manager in cabaret and was appointed boss in May. Saving Torquay unit
:21:09. > :21:20.from the drop, he played 41, 19, and lost 20. Who will be in charge for
:21:21. > :21:24.Saturday's game? A likeable fellow but totally into ROM. They haven't
:21:25. > :21:29.advertised for the position of manager but they have names in mind.
:21:30. > :21:34.When will we know more? Is someone we know in the frame? They lost to
:21:35. > :21:40.Plymouth yesterday to nil and that sent them down to the bottom of the
:21:41. > :21:45.table. Chris Hargreaves, who has had links with Plymouth, used to play
:21:46. > :21:50.for them and was captain of Torquay United when they won the
:21:51. > :21:55.conference, beating Cambridge in 2009. He is first`team coach at
:21:56. > :21:59.Bournemouth so a good team manager with ten feet to offer. Also the
:22:00. > :22:10.ex`Carlisle boss could be in the frame. `` X Argyle boss. Let's go
:22:11. > :22:13.back to our top story tonight. A major incident has been declared by
:22:14. > :22:16.Devon and Cornwall Police as the Environment Agency warns another
:22:17. > :22:19.violent Atlantic storm is set to sweep across the South West during
:22:20. > :22:22.tomorrow and Saturday. It's feared gale`force winds will force high
:22:23. > :22:26.tides upwards, sending them over sea defences. The Met Office expects the
:22:27. > :22:29.rough weather to hit at midnight. Let's get a last look at what is
:22:30. > :22:35.happening outside. John Kay joins us now from Newquay. John it looks
:22:36. > :22:40.dramatic, if you can even hear me. I can just about hear you but it is
:22:41. > :22:45.howling around and competing with the wind and tide. In the last
:22:46. > :22:50.half`hour since we did the 6pm news it has picked up and the rain has
:22:51. > :22:55.come in. It is a dramatic title here in North Cornwall but it is not this
:22:56. > :22:59.tide they are worried about, it is tomorrow morning and subsequent high
:23:00. > :23:02.tides in the next few days, so if you are sitting at home tonight I
:23:03. > :23:07.suggest you stay there for as long as you can because it is very
:23:08. > :23:13.unpleasant. It feels like Groundhog Day. We had such a battering in the
:23:14. > :23:18.last few weeks and months since the Saint Jude's storm here at the end
:23:19. > :23:22.of October, but it sounds like this time it is here in the south west we
:23:23. > :23:26.will bear the brunt of it. Because of what happened over Christmas in
:23:27. > :23:32.the East of England and in Kent and Surrey, people were cut off and have
:23:33. > :23:34.no power, the government in London and local authorities here in the
:23:35. > :23:39.South West arts stressing tonight they are ready and doing everything
:23:40. > :23:44.they can, they don't want what happened in the East of England at
:23:45. > :23:49.Christmas to happen here tonight and in the next few days, so Cornwall
:23:50. > :23:56.Council says that it is having emergency incident rooms aren't
:23:57. > :24:00.stand`bys tonight, company say they are ready, Devon and Cornwall police
:24:01. > :24:05.say the to respond. Figures are not as bad as it might be, and hopefully
:24:06. > :24:11.everybody is ready and protected. John, thank you for facing the
:24:12. > :24:18.elements tonight. Holly is here now with the latest for us. How is it
:24:19. > :24:22.looking? As we saw, it looks severe for
:24:23. > :24:26.tomorrow. We are expecting severe gales around the coast, combined
:24:27. > :24:31.with high tides to give us coastal flooding and the dish and we have
:24:32. > :24:34.some heavy showers. This is the area of low pressure we are watching
:24:35. > :24:39.developing in the Atlantic, ringing us a spell of rain in the evening
:24:40. > :24:43.but as it clears tonight into tomorrow we see isobars high and the
:24:44. > :24:49.winds ripped up, and that will send some heavy showers tomorrow. On
:24:50. > :24:53.Saturday those winds ease down, we will see further showers, and for
:24:54. > :25:00.tomorrow we have a Met Office yellow warning in force for wind. We could
:25:01. > :25:06.see cuts as much as 60 or 70 mph around the coast and well spread
:25:07. > :25:14.gales. We have those 13 severe flood warnings in force, that flood line
:25:15. > :25:19.number there. So today it has been the calm before the storm. We saw a
:25:20. > :25:25.few showers, now cloud is becoming up and that will bring a spell of
:25:26. > :25:30.rain this evening. Not huge amounts but falling unsaturated services,
:25:31. > :25:34.that rain is clearing to more of a scattering of showers overnight,
:25:35. > :25:40.some quite organised in the early hours, while these winds are
:25:41. > :25:46.whipping up. Lows tonight of six to eight degrees. Tomorrow we have
:25:47. > :25:50.strong winds in place with a risk of coastal flooding, especially around
:25:51. > :25:54.high tide. They are also whipping through these heavy showers,
:25:55. > :25:58.bringing a risk of hail and plunder with a few bright spells. Top
:25:59. > :26:04.temperatures tomorrow up to around eight or nine degrees. For the Isles
:26:05. > :26:10.of Scilly, again some strong winds here, gales expected, heavy showers
:26:11. > :26:17.through the day and that flooding risk as well. These are times of
:26:18. > :26:25.high water. These are when we are especially concerned about the risk
:26:26. > :26:28.of coastal flooding. And some very big waves obviously out at sea
:26:29. > :26:34.tomorrow and some very messy conditions. Our coastal waters
:26:35. > :26:41.forecast, the wind south`westerly aid to storm force ten, decreasing
:26:42. > :26:44.to six or seven later, those squally showers pushing through reducing
:26:45. > :26:50.visibility at times. The sea state to date will be high or very high at
:26:51. > :26:53.times in the West. Tomorrow we have those heavy showers and very strong
:26:54. > :26:58.winds developing, combining with high tides and that is bringing a
:26:59. > :27:04.risk of coastal flooding. Thereafter we head into Saturday and we will
:27:05. > :27:08.see a spell of heavy rain at first but it should ease off through the
:27:09. > :27:13.morning, more of a scattering of showers but those winds are looking
:27:14. > :27:17.letter for Saturday. That is the good news but we look ahead to
:27:18. > :27:22.Sunday and we have another storm, very wet and windy conditions
:27:23. > :27:27.expected, and we already have an early Met Office yellow warning for
:27:28. > :27:32.rain in force, and it is then quite unsettled as we head into the
:27:33. > :27:37.beginning of next week. We will bring you the latest on this
:27:38. > :27:40.pretty awful combination of different conditions across the BBC.
:27:41. > :27:45.Do take care. Good night.
