worth of rain in just one day. the north of england and the midlands were the worst affected. one woman died after being swept away by the rising water in rowsley, in derbyshire. the environment agency has warned people to stay away from swollen rivers. six severe warnings — meaning a danger to life — are in place along the river don in south yorkshire, and there are more than 60 other flood warnings in place. this report from our north of england correspondent danny savage. as floodwaters rose rapidly across the east midlands, derbyshire and yorkshire, a woman died after being swept away in rowsley, near matlock. she went missing in the early hours near here, and her body was recovered from the river derwent in darley dale this morning. in doncaster, the main river through the town burst its banks and overflowed into nearby streets. anything and everything

was used as a huge community effort to save belongings swung into action. locals are angry and say they weren't warned. it has happened down here a couple of times. i've had no warning from the council or anything. they should have been out last night, giving sandbags out, all that sort of stuff, but we had nothing. nearby, i met linda. her home has been flooded before, but the timing now couldn't be worse. iam here, 26a, the one with the for sale sign — in fact, sold, subject to survey. they were due to come out on monday to do the survey. are you worried now this has happened? i am very worried. i doubt anybody is going to want to go ahead and buy this now. from above, the flooding can be seen for miles, from sheffield, through rotherham, and to doncaster and beyond. this is worksop in nottinghamshire, where a wide area was left underwater.

this caravan park in doncaster was completely overwhelmed and people living here were evacuated. what has happened to your caravan? they are all — every one of them is knackered, every one of them is finished. are you insured? no. because you can't get insurance? no, i'm not entitled to it. so you've lost your home? yeah, oh, aye, yeah, we've lost our home. it's mid—afternoon and it's started raining heavily again. all this water flowing past us here is the overflow from the river don and it's going straight down this residential street, where the water's getting deeper and deeper. how much warning, if any, did you get? none, as far as i'm concerned. just in the space of 20 minutes, it all came and started coming flooding through. the house is wrecked from bottom up, carpets, laminates gone, the tv's gone, everything, electric's been cut off. we're hoping to get it sorted. like, as long as we are all out and safe, that's all that matters, really. in mansfield in nottinghamshire,

a cliff gave way. the landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. transport has been badly disrupted, too, roads and railways closed, stations left as islands. tonight back in matlock the prime minister visited to meet emergency service personnel and see some of the damage. in doncaster the rescue boats will be on standby all night, although water levels are slowly dropping. danny savage, bbc news, doncaster. we saw the prime minister in that report visiting derbyshire to see the devastation there. and the worst may not yet be over. officials said that the river derwent in derby reached its highest—ever level earlier today, and the waters are due to peak before midnight. our correspondent phil mackie sent this report. they've never seen anything like this. it's the highest recorded level for the river derwent in derby. the floodwaters have begun to inundate parts of the city centre. the derwent still hasn't peaked, but already parts of derby city centre are now the river

level, and that means as it pours out over its banks, it's pouring into streets like this. around the corner, council workers are warning local businesses to prepare for the worst. the river levels have risen substantially overnight and during the course of the day, so our absolute priority is safety of our citizens and the people in the city centre. next to the river in flats which are about to flood, residents are getting ready to leave. it looks like i need to build the ark, basically. i've had to move my animals two by two, you know? and the river's been flooding. i've been here four years and it's the first time it's really broke its banks. the city centre's been at a standstill, and floods have caused chaos on the roads all round it. getting home has been the priority, no matter how difficult. phil mackie, bbc news, derby. meteorologist dr peter inness, from the university of reading, says multiple factors have caused the flooding —

from already saturated ground to a shift in the jet stream, and a slow—moving weather front. before even the persistent rain we had very wet weather through all of october in that part of the world so everything is already wet. reservoirs are full in the water that meant ground is wet. and then we have a weather system sitting over us we have a weather system sitting over us for 24—hour is also with a frontal system across derbyshire and south yorkshire into lincolnshire which was not moving at all. it was stationary. the rain was not heavy but it was persistent and over that 24—hour period enough rain fell to cause this flooding. the jetstream isa cause this flooding. the jetstream is a band of strong wind out over the atlantic, seven or eight kilometres above the ocean. that generates weather systems all the time. it is like a factory for weather systems and they then move their way across the atlantic over their way across the atlantic over the uk and the weather system that hit us this week came across the

middle. usually they would be a bit further north but this week the jetstrea m further north but this week the jetstream is south as to other weather systems. so instead of the rain being in western scotland it was in the midlands and south yorkshire. we have had a number of autumn winter flood events over the past few years. there was a major one in 2014 with flooding in the south. there was heavy rain again in the summer in 2012 and 2007 in particular in the same area of south yorkshire that are suffering this time. this is on a par with those. it is not exceptional but it is certainly troubling. the scottish national party leader — and first minister of scotland — nicola sturgeon — has launched her party's election campaign in edinburgh, putting brexit and scottish independence at the centre of the snp's election strategy. she said she'd be willing to cooperate with a labour government led byjeremy corbyn.

she ruled out a formal coalition but said she could support labour on a vote—by—vote basis as long as the scottish parliament was granted the right to hold a second independence referendum and given more powers. the first minister has been speakling to our political editor laura kuenssberg. she wants two things — to stay in the eu... we want scotland to remain inside the eu. ..but scotland to be out of the uk. it should not be for westminster to decide. but if she worked with jeremy corbyn, could this election give the snp both the outcomes they want and change the course of the country for us all? if there is a hung parliament after this election, snp mps would seek to form a progressive alliance to lock the tories out of government. to be crystal clear about this, if labour were looking to seek a government and they accepted

the principle of having another vote on independence in scotland, you would be willing to form an alliance that would put jeremy corbyn in downing street? i would never put borisjohnson in downing street. but you would putjeremy corbyn in? and if people are worried about jeremy corbyn, with good reason in many respects, then better to have snp mps in there making sure the right issues are progressed and the right values are protected than having a jeremy corbyn government without that influence of the snp. you said this morning that brexit, if it goes forward, means years of wrangling economic uncertainty. that's exactly the same as it would be if there was another independence referendum, isn't it? it was never inevitable that brexit became the chaotic mess that it has done. you do the work, do the thinking, be honest with people about with the trade—offs in advance and they did not do the planning for it. 977,000 people voted snp in 17 but 1,018,000 million people voted to leave so when you say all the time... yeah, well... ..that people will be dragged out of the eu against their will,

a million scots voted to leave. i think that a bizarre kind of perversion of democracy. so, yes, you're comparing the referendum result with a general election, first of all is the first point. the turnout was higher in the eu referendum. exactly. there was a majority, not a narrow majority. in scotland with the highest remain vote of any part of the uk, so we have to find a way of plotting a course out of it and one fundamentally that allows people in scotland to be in charge of our future and the kind of country we want to be. labour won't parade it around. morning. i will get a small cappuccino... but they would contemplate another independence referendum if they needed snp votes to govern. we want scotland to remain part of the union. we are very clear about that and that's why we will not be doing deals. we are in this election to win it. this is absolutely beautiful... it's a gift for the conservatives, certainly. the prime minister campaigning in a hospital today, they were already making the claim that labour and the snp were in cahoots.

nicola sturgeon has made crystal clear that the price of her support forjeremy corbyn is making sure that we have two referendums. we know that corbyn is desperate to get into downing street. we know he will do a deal with the snp. just as kissing babies is familiar in a campaign, so, too, will be the question of independence in this election. i will vote with and work with other parties on issues where we agree but when it comes to the snp, they need to drop their obsession, absolute obsession, with independence. what's more important to you, staying in the eu or scotland becoming an independent country? both of these things are important to me. if you had to choose? well, i've campaigned for independence all of my life. putting the decisions about our future into our own hands so independence is much more of a fundamental foundation for the kind of country we want to be. but in scotland, it's hard to talk about one without talking about the other.

brexit was the reason for this election, yet the future shape of the whole uk is right in the middle. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, edinburgh. boris johnson has been campaigning in deesside in north wales today, and he's again said the conservatives want to "get brexit done" and move onto work around other areas of policy. but he's been accused of not understanding his own brexit deal or what it means for businesses in northern ireland. speaking to conservative party members in northern ireland yesterday, the prime minister said firms could "bin" customs forms because there would be "no barriers of any kind" to trade crossing the irish sea. let's have a listen. when you come out of the eu customs union which is what we want, you need some way of checking that goods that may attract a tariff going from the uk into ireland pay that tariff.

if there is to be a tariff. the only place you can do it if you don't do it on the border is at the border in northern ireland. most of the time there would not be checks on goods coming from great britain. in the grating misunderstood about this is that there will not be checks, there will not be checks. i speak as the prime minister of the uk. and a passionate unionist, there will not be checks on goods going from northern ireland to great britain. we will not implement or enact such checks. but it's being claimed this is out of step with what his brexit secretary told a commons committee last month. will northern ireland businesses that trade with great britain have to co m plete

that trade with great britain have to complete export declarations? um... well, if our moving goods do northern ireland... well, from northern ireland... well, from northern ireland... well, from northern ireland to great britain, no, because we have said in terms of from northern ireland to gigabits that it will be frictionless. but could i come back to that fair question on declarations, just to be clear, the exit summary declarations will be required. in terms of northern ireland, to great britain. that was stephen barclay. our reality check correspondent chris morris has been trying to get to the bottom of the claims and counterclaims. further video emerged this afternoon of the meeting he had last night or yesterday with business leaders in northern ireland, in which he said, when it comes to trade going from northern ireland into great britain there will be no checks, no barriers of any there will be no checks, no barriers ofany kind, there will be no checks, no barriers of any kind, no forms to fill in. now, the forms but in particular is

basically in direct contradiction to what his brexit secretary, stephen barclay, said in parliament ate a few weeks earlier. he said they would have to be export declarations filled in. if you delve into the detail of the withdrawal agreement itself, which says there are bits of the eu customs rules which will have to be followed, that's too says yes, you'll have to fill in export declarations. so it isn't clear what is happening there, whether he thinks that simply isn't important 01’ thinks that simply isn't important or whether he doesn't realise the implication of what that means. he also talked about trade going on the other direction, from great britain into northern ireland, saying there would be no tariffs or checks, but there will have to be tariffs paid on some things going to northern ireland, if it is decided they are at risk of moving from northern ireland into the republic of ireland. similarly, there will be checks, especially on things like food produce and produce of animal origin, because northern ireland and the republic of ireland, under mr johnson's o'neill, will be a single regulatory zone which will follow eu

rules. —— mrjohnson‘s own deal. he is trying to reassure people in northern ireland. it sounds quite technical, but for businesses and political parties in northern ireland, this is of great importance. the brexit party leader nigel farage has been on the campaign trail in south wales, where he told supporters that his party was the only one which would deliver what he called a "clean break" with the eu. the brexit party say they will be fielding 600 candidates across the uk, but mr farage has decided not to stand. some in the party are questioning the strategy, as our political corresponsdent alex forsyth reports. nigel farage! just days into the election, but his campaign has gone on for decades and he is not letting up. tonight in wales, nigel farage was still pushing for a brexit packed with borisjohnson. —— brexit pact. his demand now... boris, please, toughen up on this deal. it's not good enough as it is.

the conservatives have ruled out a pact, in which case, he says, he will put up candidates in 600 seats, taking on even tory brexiteers but earlier insisting they are not his main target. look at where we are now, in south wales, so many labour voters who voted leave and they are our key target, so, sure, we'll take votes from everybody but the idea that it somehow splits the vote is nonsense. i'll also point out, we want a genuine brexit. boris wants a remainers' brexit. i wish he'd shift that position. but there are some wishing nigel farage would shift, concerned about uncompromising tactics. peter udell resigned as a brexit party candidate yesterday, fearful a leave split will hand labour a victory, accepting now borisjohnson‘s deal is the best option. everybody is sitting there thinking, should we split the vote? should we vote for the tories or should we vote for the brexit party? they are hugely loyal to nigel.

but it is a dilemma that people are trying to deal with at the moment. and there is a danger that in the search for the perfect that we give away the achievable. quiet conversations are happening across the country. when to stand firm, whether to stand aside. we have spoken to other brexit party members concerned about the current strategy of targeting every seat. only a fraction of brexit party candidates have pulled out so far, some half a dozen out of hundreds, but some have said they were attracted to the brexit party when theresa may led the tories because they did not like her approach to leaving the eu, but they are persuaded by borisjohnson. what's key is whether voters might feel the same. many of his supporters are convinced he's right to keep up the pressure, critical of those with doubts. too many people are wavering at the moment. we don't want to spoil a deal if there is one, but boris's deal

is not it. i think what they are trying to do at the moment is make us believe that the deal that has been offered is a good deal. even just as an ordinary citizen i've read it through and it's not. with such brexit arguments already proving crucial in this election, how he chooses to approach it really does count. alex forsyth, bbc news. yesterday the liberal democrats, the green party, and plaid cymru formed a pro—remain electoral pact to try and defeat candidates, in england and wales, who support brexit. and the brexit party leader, nigel farage, has urged boris johnson to sign the conservatives up to a similar so—called non—aggression pact. but is it possible that unofficials deals will be reached between parties to defeat certain candidates, in certain seats? earlier i spoke to peter kellner, the former president of the polling organisation yougov. deeply unofficial, but they happen

all the time. in 1997, for example, the liberal democrats were targeting lewis, labour was targeting seats in brighton, next to lewis. they reached an explicit but unpublished and formal —— informal agreement whereby all the labour activist in lewis would go to brighton and all the lib dem activists in brighton would go to lewis, and the conservatives lost both seats. and you can see this year, logically... i have no idea what deals are being made, but, you know, ifi i have no idea what deals are being made, but, you know, if i was in gloucestershire and i was a labour activist i would go and work in stroud. north norwich is plainly done for labour. north norfolk, for the liberal democrats. so you can see these kind of informal arrangements, which suit both sides, because what is the point of activists working excessively hard in seats they have no chance of winning? why not go to a nearby seed

where they have the chance and that is the seat you come from, but you go to the other party. we are hearing a lot, aren't we, about these packets forming between the lib dems, the green party, plaid cymru. —— pacts. but why not between the lib dems and a labour? what is the lib dems and a labour? what is theissue the lib dems and a labour? what is the issue there? the problem basically is that both parties feel that they would actually be damaged nationally more by a pact than by nominally fighting each other everywhere. the lib dems don't want to be seen as labour's poodles, a party trying to help jeremy to be seen as labour's poodles, a party trying to helpjeremy corbyn get into downing street, and jo swinson, the leader of the lib dems, has said she will do nothing to help jeremy corbyn become prime minister. equally, the labour party wants to stand as a pure party out for a majority in its own right. so you get this national display of competition, but logically, locally,

quietly, under the counter, everybody knows what goes on and the parties concentrate on where they have got their best hopes, and the other parties concentrate on where they have their best hopes, and so logically it suits both sides to just soft pedal in seats. they have candidates, but they soft pedal, and they go hard on the seats where they really hope to win. that was peter kellner, former president of yougov. an 18—year—old man has beenjailed for life. thomas griffith stabbed ellie several times after turning up at her home the day after they had ended their relationship. afterwards he tried to make it look as if she had taken her own life. fiona langdon has been talking to ali's family.

her life was full. yeah, she was the perfect daughter, really. ellie gould was just 17, studying for her a—levels, when she was murdered by thomas griffiths. the night before, she'd called off their three—month relationship to concentrate on schoolwork. we trusted him. we welcomed him into our home. he celebrated her 17th birthday with us. three months later, he murdered her. it's chilling. on the morning he killed her, thomas' mother took him to school, but he caught the bus straight home. he then drove to ellie's house, knowing she was alone. he stabbed her at least 13 times in the neck, then placed ellie's hand on the knife to make it look like she'd killed herself. he returned to school like nothing had happened. three hours later, ellie's father found her on the kitchen floor. nothing could prepare me for police cars abandoned everywhere, and an ambulance at the end of the drive. and then mattjust sobbing at the end of our drive. ijust ran up to him, and a policeman said, "who are you?" and i said, "i'm her mother,

what's happened, what's happened?" at the same time, thomas griffiths was messaging ellie's phone and her friends to leave a false trail. he said he was self harming, but the scratches on his neck came from ellie as she fought for her life. no mother should ever... ..hold their dead daughter's hand. that was just heartbreaking. today, in sentencing him to 12.5 years, thejudge said this had been the most appaling attack, and it was "beyond imagining the pain and terror she must have suffered in her last moments." what does justice mean for you? i think he's evil. i don't believe he should be allowed to take another breath, quite frankly. i don't think he should never be let out of prison. i don't think he should ever be granted parole. go. every time i see teenage girls, and ijust look and i think, "0h, ellie."

you know? it's just so heartbreaking. you're reminded constantly. fiona lamdin, bbc news. police have now released the names of all 39 people from vietnam who we re of all 39 people from vietnam who were found dead in a lorry container in essex last month. 215 year old boys were among them. a26 year old woman who sent texts to her parents saying that she was dying and that she couldn't breathe was also confirmed as one of the victims. —— a 26—year—old woman. london's new crossrail link, which was supposed to open last year connecting areas to the east and west of the capital, is facing further delays. the route known as the elizabeth line will now not open until at least 2021. costs are set to rise to over £18 billion, more than £2 billion

beyond the original budget. this weekend, thousands of armed forces veterans will take part in the march past at the senate off in whitehall on remembrance sunday. —— cenotaph. among them will be 94—year—old harry billings, who was among the first british soldiers to land in france on d—day. he has been raising money to help build a new memorial in normandy to remember those who died. today he was shown images of the memorial for the first time. thank you, darlin‘. in the remarkable life of harry billinge, this has been a remarkable year. there's about 35 quid there, harry. it was an appearance on bbc breakfast telly, on a normandy beach for the d—day 75th anniversary injune, that saw harry go viral. don't say i'm a hero. i'm no hero.

i was lucky. i'm here. all the heroes are dead. and i'll neverforget them as long as i live. since that moment of modesty, harry's fund—raising in st austell in cornwall, towards building a memorial in france, has seen a surge. it's nearly 30,000 now, i believe. ijust put in another 2,000 last monday. i should have been killed on the beach. i was saved, i believe, by the grace of god, for this purpose. you're raising money for something and you can't see it? this morning, harry was back on bbc breakfast to see the memorial as it's being built, for the first time. clearly, an emotional moment. 0k? yeah. idid it. ijust had a job to do. all these fellas did a good job. all these men, these wonderful men, young boys of 16. i'm not a brave man. i'm lucky. i owe my life to the boys that

i loved and i'll never forget them. and we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers without reviewers, coming up shortly. stay with us for that. —— with our reviewers. hello. weather is making use. that is really a good thing. more rain on the way and not a lot of high—pressure showing up in the next three and a half minutes as we look into next week's weather. a brief gap between weather systems. saturday will bring a widespread frost and freezing fog, ice on untreated surfaces. and these weather fronts coming in. untreated surfaces. and these weatherfronts coming in. this untreated surfaces. and these weather fronts coming in. this will deliver a very wet day across the eastern side of northern ireland, maybe 20—30 millimetres, could be disruption from that. rain until snow moving through wales, some rain towards north—west england, the midlands and southern england, the worst of the rain from the worst

affected flooded areas into south yorkshire and derbyshire. much of the north and east of the uk staying dry, with sunny spells around. now, this latest area of wet weather, still affecting parts of england and wales on saturday evening, slowly pulling away south. the cloud means the frost going into sunday morning is not going to be as widespread as saturday morning, but still, scotland, parts of northern england, northern ireland, wales and maybe the west midlands sea temperatures drop close to if not below freezing in some spots. another gap between weather systems on sunday, remembrance sunday. this gap, timed with daylight hours, more useful for us, lots of fine weather on sunday. a good of sunshine around. just a bit of patchy cloud in parts of northern england, maybe towards the midlands, could produce a light shower. the vast majority will be dry. single figure temperatures for most of us. this gap between weather systems doesn't last long. more weather fronts come in. systems doesn't last long. more weatherfronts come in. the systems doesn't last long. more weather fronts come in. the low pressure is quite a way away, but here come the weather fronts moving on. lots of rain falling on night, clearing eastwards on monday. last

to clear from east
