:00:00. > :00:08.That's it for now. We're back with the late news
:00:09. > :00:13.And Monday bring outbreaks of rain. We do have a Met Office yellow
:00:14. > :00:16.warning of rain in force. Good evening. The South West has borne
:00:17. > :00:21.the brunt of yet another Atlantic storm, but it may be the last for
:00:22. > :00:23.now. At the latest count 7,000 households were still without
:00:24. > :00:27.electricity after gusts measuring 80 miles an hour were recorded off
:00:28. > :00:30.Dorset. The reopening of the railway linking Devon and Cornwall may be
:00:31. > :00:37.delayed after further damage where the line is severed at Dawlish.
:00:38. > :00:41.Here's John Danks. Hammered by the sea. Shipping containers designed to
:00:42. > :00:44.protect the sea wall at Dawlish left broken and bent. Another powerful
:00:45. > :00:49.storm was the last thing engineers here needed. Today, there were no
:00:50. > :00:53.trains running south of Exeter and services in Cornwall were suspended
:00:54. > :00:56.for much of the day due to flooding on lines. In Kingsand, there was
:00:57. > :01:01.blue sky, a peaceful picture far at odds with these scenes from last
:01:02. > :01:06.night. And this was the result of the onslaught of large waves.
:01:07. > :01:10.Another large hole has opened up in the base. All the reinforcement that
:01:11. > :01:13.were put in place have done their job. It's all still standing and,
:01:14. > :01:16.yeah, everyone's doing all they can and the locals are running around
:01:17. > :01:19.and it is a brilliant community spirit here. Builders hope to
:01:20. > :01:22.stabilise the clock tower and institute building by pumping
:01:23. > :01:27.concrete around its base tomorrow. High winds brought trees down, block
:01:28. > :01:30.roads. This one took down part of the wall of a primary school in
:01:31. > :01:34.Plymouth, narrowly avoiding the roof of a nearby property. Meanwhile four
:01:35. > :01:40.people had to be rescued from their cars at Slapton Sands after breaking
:01:41. > :01:44.waves made the road impassable. So another storm has passed through the
:01:45. > :01:59.region, people are once again left clearing up and hoping the weather
:02:00. > :02:05.will give them a break. Two severe flood warnings remain in force on
:02:06. > :02:09.the Somerset Levels. The Prime Minister defended his handling of
:02:10. > :02:12.the flood crisis on a visit to the South West this week. Today the
:02:13. > :02:15.shadow Environment Secretary was in Penzance where the promenade has
:02:16. > :02:18.been badly damaged. David Cameron pledged to help people affected, but
:02:19. > :02:21.Maria Eagle argues climate change is having an impact and ministers need
:02:22. > :02:25.take it more seriously. I think this is a real wake up call for the
:02:26. > :02:28.Government generally to look at making sure we are more resilient to
:02:29. > :02:31.these increasingly volatile weather events that seem to be happening
:02:32. > :02:34.more frequently. Our reporter Chris Eakin has been examining the
:02:35. > :02:40.aftermath of last night's storm on Portland. We're on the sea defence
:02:41. > :02:44.at the end of Chesil Beach. You take a look over, just get a sense of the
:02:45. > :02:48.drop down to the beach. Those stones at the bottom were picked up by the
:02:49. > :02:52.waves and they were thrown right up on to the defence and they pounded
:02:53. > :03:05.down here like a jack hammer, breaking up this surface. Look at it
:03:06. > :03:09.all along here. Let's just take a look at this. All of this thrown by
:03:10. > :03:13.the power of the sea and when you get to the corner, you see the big
:03:14. > :03:17.pile of stones that almost look like the council have dumped them here.
:03:18. > :03:21.And we haven't finished yet, because if you come up here and look down
:03:22. > :03:25.the road, down at the bottom you may just be able to make out by the sand
:03:26. > :03:29.bags on the edge of the pavement there are more of these stones. They
:03:30. > :03:34.have been bowled right down there by the power of the sea. Sport and
:03:35. > :03:37.Torquay United went down at Chesterfield 3`1. At Home Park
:03:38. > :03:40.Plymouth Argyle also lost ` it was 4`0 to York City there. But better
:03:41. > :03:43.news for Exeter who won 3`2 at Southend.
:03:44. > :03:45.Plymouth Argyle also lost ` it was 4`0 to In rugby the meet between
:03:46. > :03:48.Plymouth Albion and Jersey was postponed. But Exeter Chiefs'
:03:49. > :03:59.sell`out match against Bath went ahead. But they lost 23`27. And the
:04:00. > :04:04.Cornish Pirates' were due to play London Welsh tomorrow, but that has
:04:05. > :04:11.had to be put back too. And now time for a slightly more pleasant weather
:04:12. > :04:15.forecast with Holly. Good evening. Tonight is looking fairly quiet. But
:04:16. > :04:19.that means it is going to get cold. We have a Met Office yellow warning
:04:20. > :04:22.of ice that will form on untreated surfaces, creating a hazard on the
:04:23. > :04:26.roads. So we had a few showers around earlier, they have largely
:04:27. > :04:29.died down, leaving clear spells and light winds. That's allowed that
:04:30. > :04:33.frost and ice to form. Lows in many places down to low single figures or
:04:34. > :04:36.freezing in some spots. So it is a cold but bright start to tomorrow
:04:37. > :04:40.morning. Plenty of sunny spells through the day, but I think cloud
:04:41. > :04:44.will tend to thicken from the west as we head through the afternoon,
:04:45. > :04:47.with a few showers pushing in later. The winds will tend to pick up as
:04:48. > :04:51.well. Highs around eight or nine degrees. Now Sunday night and Monday
:04:52. > :04:55.bring outbreaks of rain. We do have a Met Office yellow warning of rain
:04:56. > :05:00.in force. We want to know your flooding stories next week. Get in
:05:01. > :05:02.touch with us in the usual way. From the weekend team, have a very good
:05:03. > :05:16.evening. Hello, good evening, finally some
:05:17. > :05:20.quieter weather on the way for the British Isles for the remainder of
:05:21. > :05:24.this weekend, also somewhat for the week ahead. More on that in a
:05:25. > :05:30.moment. Tonight, the biggest story is the winds continuing to ease
:05:31. > :05:34.Into the small hours of Sunday, the winds will be light. Late showers
:05:35. > :05:38.for Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. A lot of
:05:39. > :05:43.groundwater around elsewhere with a wide spread rural frost predicted we
:05:44. > :05:46.are looking at the prospect of patches of ice on Sunday. There is a
:05:47. > :05:52.lot of sunshine to come throughout the day. With light winds it will
:05:53. > :05:56.feel pleasant. Highs to Scotland and Northern Ireland of six or seven. To
:05:57. > :05:59.the south, eight, nine or ten in the south-east of England. To the west,
:06:00. > :06:04.showers will brush into Northern Ireland through the afternoon. High
:06:05. > :06:08.pressure, as we move from Sunday into Monday, gives way to an area of
:06:09. > :06:11.low pressure couldn't coming in from the Atlantic. This is nothing like
:06:12. > :06:12.the bull's-eye
