you're watching bbc news and we're bringing you continuing coverage of storm isha. strong winds and heavy rain have left tens of thousands of homes without power and caused extensive travel problems for the morning rush hour. trains have been suspended and flights cancelled. parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland have seen the strongest winds in ten to 20 years. gusts of up to 99 miles per hour were recorded in northumberland. yellow rain warnings remain in place for many areas. we'll have the latest from the bbc weather centre and our correspondents across the uk. but i want to show you some of the latest pictures we are getting into the bbc from across the country. shocking footage that demonstrates the power of the storm. it's from lincolnshire. a driver had a narrow escape after a roof was blown off a building and just missed his car. security cameras in the town of belton captured the incident last night, as the village was battered

by storm isha. the road has been closed while repairs are carried out. take a look at this, this is from last night. it is cctv of the moment a wall collapses to reveal a parked car being pushed by the wind in kidbrook — that's in southeast london. the wall collapses and the car, the force _ the wall collapses and the car, the force of— the wall collapses and the car, the force of the — the wall collapses and the car, the force of the wind, _ the wall collapses and the car, the force of the wind, it _ the wall collapses and the car, the force of the wind, it pushes - the wall collapses and the car, the force of the wind, it pushes the i the wall collapses and the car, the | force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards — force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards in — force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards in kid _ force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards in kid brook. _ force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards in kid brook. you - force of the wind, it pushes the car backwards in kid brook.— backwards in kid brook. you can imaaine backwards in kid brook. you can imagine the _ backwards in kid brook. you can imagine the handbrake - backwards in kid brook. you can imagine the handbrake was - backwards in kid brook. you can imagine the handbrake was on i backwards in kid brook. you can i imagine the handbrake was on but backwards in kid brook. you can - imagine the handbrake was on but it still manages to move because of the strength of the wind. now let's go to the isle of man. this is where the storm is hitting the waterfront. you can see an emergency service vehicle. the waves coming over the front and hitting that vehicle as it goes down through that water and you

can therefore see the power of waves coming in in the isle of man. and now in kent. this is an aerial view of poly tunnels in west peckham. what has happened here is the strength of the wind has managed to rip poly tunnels offer a whole section which has been forced, leaving crops on view from the bbc helicopter. you can see the strength of the wind not only in scotland but also this in the south—east of england in kent. ireland has been badly hit. and let's leave you with boats on the water at dun laoghaire harbour as storm isha hits ireland. you can see the ferocity of the waves and boats bobbing around in ireland which has been badly hit also. we can get the latest.

here's our ireland correspondent sara gurven with more on this. the main issue in northern ireland is the restoration of power supply. we were told at the height of things that 48,500 homes were with without power. we hear it is down to 40,000 homes and we are told hundreds of extra staff have been made available to work on that and try to get power restored. there has been travel disruption as well. we had cancelled flights, trains, ferry crossings. over 100 flights cancelled from dublin airport. we were told people are waiting up to ten hours. some flights did not land where they were meant to. we heard from belfast international airport. they said things are largely back to normal today but we should expect the backlog to make things more difficult for those trying to travel

today. we have heard about obstacles. we are told more than 1000 reports across the country. things like trees down across roads, rail lines, train lines, debris. until the clear up operation continues and it is ongoing, we have had a message from the police service of northern ireland this morning. they are saying they got more than 600 calls yesterday about the storm which puts pressure on the 999 system. they ask anyone out and about travelling today to leave extra time for the journey and expect delays and only travel if they need to do so. that clear up operation is under way. we expected it to take time but the good news, gusts of up to 90 mph across northern ireland, they have lessened and the clear up continues. that northern ireland, they have lessened and the clear up continues.— and the clear up continues. that is the latest from _

and the clear up continues. that is the latest from northern _ and the clear up continues. that is the latest from northern ireland. ij the latest from northern ireland. i want to show you live pictures from scotland. this is the shetland islands. a stormy outlook. quite remote anyway. often it is very stormy around the shetland islands but that is the live scene. parts of scotland badly hit with not many train services. overnight, wind up to 80 mph across the central belt of scotland and across the whole of the country. the strongest gust report was 99 mph at northumberland. let's go to the very south. this is the scene in cornwall. this is this family most port in the uk. a lot calmer this morning but across the whole country, those coastal areas overnight hit by a lot of those strong winds brought by the storm

and it has been affecting train travel. now to our correspondent sean dilley who is in euston. it has improved but take us through what the latest is across the country in terms of the rail network. country in terms of the rail network-— country in terms of the rail network. let's kick off with scotland- _ network. let's kick off with scotland. this _ network. let's kick off with scotland. this is _ network. let's kick off with scotland. this is a - network. let's kick off with scotland. this is a key - network. let's kick off with scotland. this is a key hub| network. let's kick off with i scotland. this is a key hub for that. pretty much wherever you go, if you want to go to inverness. hardly any trains running in scotland because scotrail and network rail scotland who maintain the track say no trains will run until they have inspected the lines. i will show you something visually interesting. on the scotrail site, a list of cancellations and it goes on and on and on. it is the scale, it would be easier to say which are running. as other operators have done across the whole of the uk, the

advice is to check before you travel. it —— at used in the wind is dying down and it is getting warmer. a chill this morning as the wind blows over. train services getting back to some form of normality. the biggest knock on is trains coming from scotland to euston, which is out towards the west. obviously trains not in places they need to be for onward journey so you will get disruption. other examples. i popped in behind me to chat to people. i heard an announcement such as the train to manchester piccadilly was delayed by 15 minutes because the train crew was delayed getting in and of course they were because they cannot use the trains easily. that is changing bit by bit. there are still speed restrictions. engineers

in every part of the rail infrastructure have cleared lines with a great deal of success, particularly in scotland where conditions have been the worst and there have been the most flood warnings. engineers have been out working really hard in difficult situations. when we chatted to commuters here, i think we are professionally boring about transport. we cannot keep quiet about it at the best of times. you would expect people to be angry but they are not. they say yes, but it has been horrible weather. because everyone has felt this in various parts of the uk, particularly in the north of england and in ireland and scotland. people are understanding about the fact it is a complex operation to run a rail network, particularly if you have power lines cut by trees and particularly when you get trampolines on the rail track, down in kent. these are big

problems and people here are understanding about it and getting on with their business. a, big understanding about it and getting on with their business.— on with their business. a big issue is the number _ on with their business. a big issue is the number of _ on with their business. a big issue is the number of trees _ on with their business. a big issue is the number of trees falling - on with their business. a big issue is the number of trees falling on i is the number of trees falling on the track. when that happens, network rail will have to send a crew out to check and when they have checked, they will have to get contractors into move the trees. yes. you think if there is a tree they will move it but you are right, it is not a couple of people putting it is not a couple of people putting it to one side. they have to make sure it is removed because it does not pose that threat to the line. because it is windy and there have been flood warnings and conditions have been extreme. speed limits are in place around 50 mph on the line which gives drivers a next opportunity to look at where they are driving the train. we remember this from school, quite the distance, the number of football pictures it takes to stop and not

rapidly moving train. it is all about tilting odds in the favour of drivers on routes running in case something else has happened. scotland commerce got rail and network rail scotland, they are robust with their position, which is until we have checked every inch it is not going anywhere. they assure everyone that is happening. if you are going to travel, check. if you are going to travel, check. if you are travelling, ask yourself if you need to travel because it is not just rail infrastructure affected. what you will do if the system is in turmoil, you might try to drive, but a lot of roads have issues. an interesting statistic i think. 1000 reports of obstruction to the highway filed from yesterday. above i hear a jet, highway filed from yesterday. above i hearajet, probably highway filed from yesterday. above i hear a jet, probably flying to city airport or add to west london to heathrow. there have been

temporary air traffic control orders put in place. we heard stories from the bbc wales presenter diverted from geneva into bristol. she was supposed to land but they went to edinburgh. you can read online, we will come back to that in a moment. you can read about the trauma she and passengers were in. they landed under the most awful conditions in edinburgh when they thought they were going to bristol and people were going to bristol and people were so terrified, not only were they clapping, which is not as usual in the uk as other parts of europe, but she said she and her friends burst into tears. she thought about her husband and about her children. we have seen other cases of aircraft that have supposed to land in scotland diverted through england out to germany, so a very different destination. very heavy bits of kit, aircraft, obviously. they have a

safety first like the trains but they have had to pull out every stop to make sure passengers have a happy landing and they get home safely and this is what this is about. thank ou for this is what this is about. thank you for following _ this is what this is about. thank you for following that. - this is what this is about. thank you for following that. you - you for following that. you mentioned the scotrail cancellations and we can look at the scotrail website. you can see the cancellations going on in scotland at the moment. network rail saying expect services to remain suspended until at least midday in scotland because of what they describe as a wild night. check the scotrail website and you will see the qr code on the right. you can also scan that to follow the bbc news life page which we have up and running with the latest across the country. why is this happening and can we expect any more? sarah keith—lucas joins us.

could be 100 millimetres of rain falling. some hail, thunder storms into some of these. the driest weather will be in eastern england. and it is milder. temperatures 11 in the south—east. 7—8 towards the north—west but feeling colder when you are exposed to the strong wind. 60 mph possible in northern scotland. a blustery picture but not as disruptive. the wind will ease tonight. still some showers in the far north. the next area of rain arriving on the early hours of tuesday but we might see frost in eastern scotland and north—east england. let's look at the storm system. named as storm jocelyn. it will move in particularly later on tuesday bringing a combination of

heavy rain in the north and west but again some strong winds. the strong winds across parts of northern ireland, crossing the british isles through the day. very mild. perhaps 15 on tuesday. but we have yellow warnings at this stage in for so gusts could reach up to 60 mph fairly widely in scotland, northern ireland and northern england and perhaps 70 mph. certainly impact from storm jocelyn late on tuesday overnight into wednesday. low pressure starts to clear relatively quickly on wednesday towards the east. still left with blustery conditions. more showers feeding in on the north—westerly wind on wednesday but sunny spells for most areas and lighter in the south. this storm does not look as widespread as with storm isha but the outlook over the next days, more wet weather, particularly in the north and west

and perhaps something quieter in the south. keep tuned to the latest forecasts. still flood warnings in force and yellow warnings for storm jocelyn on the way. fin force and yellow warnings for storm jocelyn on the way.— jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocel n. jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn- am _ jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn- am i _ jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn. am i right _ jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn. am i right in _ jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn. am i right in saying - jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn. am i right in saying it- jocelyn on the way. on that, storm jocelyn. am i right in saying it is i jocelyn. am i right in saying it is the tenth named storm in this period? the tenth named storm in this eriod? . , the tenth named storm in this eriod? ., , ,, ., , period? that is right. storm jocelyn will be storm _ period? that is right. storm jocelyn will be storm number _ period? that is right. storm jocelyn will be storm number 10. _ period? that is right. storm jocelyn will be storm number10. by - period? that is right. storm jocelyn will be storm number 10. by this i will be storm number 10. by this stage last winter we did not have any named storms in the uk, so it is any named storms in the uk, so it is a busy season. ten named storm so far. saturated ground and the wind set to cause more disruption. breaking news from police scotland who say an 84—year—old man has died during storm isha after the car he was a passenger in crashed into a fallen tree in grangemouth in fife

which happened on sunday, police scotland say. we have had confirmation and 84—year—old man has died during storm isha after the car he was a passenger in crashed into a fallen tree in grangemouth in fife on sunday. confirmation coming from police scotland. we will get more as we get it in from them. now let's go to the newsroom. charlie rose who is in the newsroom. the storm has now turned deadly, which shows how serious it has been. good morning. that tragic incident you mention in scotland, and 84—year—old man, a passenger in a car that hit a tree and that passenger, and 84—year—old man has sadly died. it is a reminder of how dangerous these storms can be. it is

extraordinary. last week we were talking about heavy snow, ice, low temperatures, and those conditions are extremely dangerous. today we know storm isha has been a deadly storm in the uk. gusts up to 99 mph. very strong winds and reports of gusts even higher than that in exposed locations. very difficult conditions, even though storm isha has moved into the north sea, the trail of destruction left behind is considerable and the clean—up operation is under way. a good way of keeping across everything going on today in the aftermath is to look at the bbc news live page on storm isha and some of the details coming out are extraordinary. school closures is something we have not mentioned so far in our coverage of

storm isha. a storm of this nature, you would expect some schools to be closed and that is exactly what happened in scotland. the highland council in northern scotland said 38 primary and secondary schools have been closed. that is affecting about 4500 students according to the authority there. glasgow city council drew the fury of parents apparently on social media when it posted all schools would be open unless the council tells parents otherwise. some parents have been upset because they would have liked to have had that confirmation earlier because it came through apparently at 8.30. 38 primary and secondary schools closed according to the highland council of scotland and that is impacting 4500 students. i have been looking up the name storm isha. the name means

protector, ironically. it also means goddess. she has certainly been making herself felt right across the uk. it is notjust with power outages, which have involved around 40,000 homes in northern ireland, who have seen their power cut off. and around 30,000 in scotland and northern england, although apparently, according to the bbc news live page, 33,000 homes and businesses in northern england have since had their power restored. that 40,000 figure in northern ireland was an overnight figure of homes and businesses that had power cut off. another 30,000 or so across scotland and northern england overnight. and in the northern england area, tens of thousands of homes and businesses have had power restored. but there

are still travel problems. in scotland, england, wales and northern ireland. fallen trees, branches. in scotland, the ni motorway, m70 for motorway closed overnight. the a1 southbound was blocked by an overturned lorry. on the railways, as we heard, things beginning to get back to normal in euston but it is not as simple as finding the problem, where the line is blocked, sending engineers, network rail to identify where the line is blocked and to clear the line. once the line is cleared, the railway companies, network rail needs to run a proving train along the line to ensure it is safe to run. they will not release passenger trains on that stretch of line until they have ascertained it is completely safe. even though the storm has moved on, it takes some time to work out and make sure

railway lines and roads are completely safe. and it will take time to restore power to those homes. some homes and businesses apparently will still be without power by this time tomorrow, maybe even longer because some of the power lines brought down by storm isha are in remote locations. the power companies will be sending up helicopters and drones to try to find the broken power lines and then they have to send engineers to try to fix them before they do that, they have to make sure it is safe to do so. this takes time. thing is getting back to normal but slowly. charlie rose, thank you. if you are joining us, a reminder of breaking news that an 84—year—old man has died during the storm after the car he was a passenger in crashed into a fallen tree in grangemouth in fife.

the fairies are now taking to the roads to try to find an alternative. we have a couple of issues where they wanted to repatriate vehicles to know the —— vehicles to northern ireland and vice versa with council fairies and those vehicles are now waiting and could form a small backlog so we asked people to be patient if they are waiting for their vehicle to be returned. we have to work safely.— their vehicle to be returned. we have to work safely. working safely is one thing — have to work safely. working safely is one thing we _ have to work safely. working safely is one thing we probably _ have to work safely. working safely | is one thing we probably sometimes forget to your patrol men and women who have to go out in stormy conditions to rescue people. yes. our conditions to rescue people. yes. 0ur patrols. _ conditions to rescue people. yes. 0ur patrols. we — conditions to rescue people. yes. our patrols, we have _ conditions to rescue people. yes. our patrols, we have more - conditions to rescue people. jazz our patrols, we have more on standby because we expect an influx of work because we expect an influx of work because people are taking to the roads and there will be more vehicles on the road around port areas particularly. for that reason we say if you do not need to travel,

even though the storm is dying down, if you do not need to travel, i would say if you can avoid it, do so because we are likely to face a backlog later with the people seeking alternative ways of getting to where they were originally going. do you think it could get worse again during rush—hour this afternoon? it again during rush-hour this afternoon?— again during rush-hour this afternoon? , . afternoon? it will definitely be busier. it is _ afternoon? it will definitely be busier. it is normally - afternoon? it will definitely be busier. it is normally a - afternoon? it will definitely be busier. it is normally a busy i afternoon? it will definitely be i busier. it is normally a busy day, monday, anyway, but it is likely to increase with the increased vehicle is likely to be on the road. if people need to travel, then i would say check the travel with a route planner, check local travel reports and essentially make sure you have plenty of fuel, electric vehicle charge, because you are likely to come across a diversion, through falling trees and road debris. it is

vital you have enough fuel to make that diversion. if there are road closure signs in place, we ask people to respect those and to turn around rather than risk it or drive through water because there is still a lot of water on the roads covering potholes and covering road inspection covers that might be displaced from the thor last week. so it is multifaceted conditions and if you do not need to travel i advise against it —— thaw. band advise against it -- thaw. and something _ advise against it -- thaw. and something as _ advise against it -- thaw. and something as basic— advise against it -- thaw. and something as basic as - advise against it —— thaw. and something as basic as making sure your mobile phone is fully charged. definitely. that is standard advice we give out. make sure your phone is fully charged, make sure you have fuel, the vehicle is in good condition, lights are working. also keep a coat or blanket in the

vehicle for each traveller because lots of people use the vehicle is a coat if you like when driving. if the car breaks down, needs to be off the car breaks down, needs to be off the road, the coat you are relying on is no longer a thing, so it is important to have coats and warm drinks and food in your vehicle. really useful advice. thank you. i want to take you back to life pictures from shetland. the waves are crashing there and a reminder of breaking news from scotland that an 84—year—old man has died during storm isha after the car he was a passenger in crashed into a fallen tree which happened in grangemouth in fife on sunday according to police scotland. you can get more on that and the rest of the storm on the bbc news website and app. it is

now 11.30. some breaking news away from the storm. this comes from jerusalem. a number of families of israeli hostages still held in gaza have broken through security and stormed a finance meeting in the israeli parliament. they protested that the finance committee was deliberately deliberating while children were in captivity. you can see the pictures. a protester shouted we will not let you breathe until our kids come back. a placard read "you will not sit here while they die there". one of those involved was the father of one kidnapped from his home with his wife and two daughters, who were subsequently released. he is still being held captive. those pictures coming in from the parliament in israel of that protest and we will bring more as we get it. meanwhile,
