residents who say they aren't getting enough help. the environment agency have told the bbc it's continues to monitor and and manage the huge volume of water travelling through south yorkshire. -- it —— it continues to monitor. 0ur correspondent fiona trott reports. a village that's been abandoned. most people here have locked up and left. the safest way to get through is by tractor. parish councillor pam webb has decided to stay. she is touring the village with the emergency services. the environment agency put out a notice at 5pm on friday, basically, "stand down, there won't be homes flooded". this is what's happened. farmerjohn duckett has worked on these fields all his life. he says poor land management is to blame. there is no doubt about it.

part of the problem is the river don, which drains this area, is not receiving any maintenance whatsoever. the local pub in fishlake has become a refuge. it's on higher ground and has gas, a place to sleep and get a hot meal. the first night, everyone was devastated, weren't they? absolutely devastated. we had grown men crying, which were horrific but spirits have lifted now, haven't they? they are able to cook meals because people have been donating food at the local church. and volunteers likejosh have been wading through the water to deliver it. i'm going back and forth from the church with supplies in my day sack, delivering them to people who need them. there's a lot of elderly people stuck with nothing. if it wasn't for the volunteers like these local farmers, this village would be struggling to cope. they've been praised by the emergency services and will be here for many days to come. fiona trott, bbc news, doncaster.

peter pridham is the church warden in fishlake. people there have been warned that there is a risk to life if they do not leave immediately. but some have stayed behind. he told us what the situation was like in the village. the situation today, the village is in a critical condition because the large amount of flood rushed into night to saturday is lying in the village leaving in many places three, four orfive feet deep. many people have been evacuated, some are too old to be evacuated in some cases. —— too ill to be evacuated. many older people in their homes are now being served by a very large community effort. and i'm thing for the say that people from 20 even 30 miles away are going long distances and circuitous routes to avoid flooded roads to bring supplies into local church. what is absolute we critical,

we desperately need two large diesel engine pumps, 12 inch bore pipe pipework to match to pump out the accumulated floodwater in the village because if the river rises again tonight or tomorrow, in conjunction with a high tide and a further fall of rain coming from the pennines and we have more overbanking, that is the water flowing over the banks into the village, the village will simple and not be able to cope. there are two acute situations. one is the existing environmental agency pumping system is nowhere adequate to cope with the level of floodwaters present in the village. i personally waded for three quarters of a mile through waters three to four feet deep to get here this afternoon. there's a danger to life at the present time, some weakness to the walls adjacent to the bridge. and the environment agency should look seriously at that immediately. we asked this afternoon them to drop sandbags by air to prop that up. if either of those walls give way at high tide today, the volume of water flowing into this village could lead to serious loss of life.

it's not a time for delaying and procrastinating. it's a time for immediate action. peter pridham there. well the environment agency has sent this statement about the floods. it reads... the agency goes on to say that, "infrastructure and pumping has so far helped to protect 4,000 properties from flooding." the conservatives and labour have clashed over their spending plans with the tories claiming a jeremy corbyn led government would bring an economic crisis "within months". the chancellor sajid javid said today that labour would spend over £1 trillion in office, a figure dismissed by labour as " bad maths" and an ‘absolute work of fiction‘. here's our political correspondentjessica parker. the two men competing to run the country's finances. the conservatives claim that labour's plans amount to an unaffordable splurge. but is their maths up to scratch?

every single costing in this dossier that we've published today is either come from labour's own figures and most of the match over 50% of the costings from labour's own figures and the test of them have either come from independent external sources and in some cases, yes, we have had to work them out ourselves. but we've done that in a reasonable way and we have set out exactly in the document how we've done this. they've even set up a website, listing some contentious claims about the so—called cost of corbyn. £196 billion to renationalise industries like the railway already a disputed figure. 85 billion to bring in a four—day working week. the conservative dossier assumes that such plans would all quickly come into force. 35 billion to abolish private schools? labour conference voted on the idea, but the party's actual election policy hasn't been confirmed. this is an absolute work of fiction by the conservatives, you can't trust a word that johnson

and his ministers say on this issue. we will have a fully—costed manifesto in due course, when we launch that. and, you know, the challenge is actually for the conservatives to fully cost their own manifesto, something they didn't do in 2017. the purse strings are loosening in this place, whichever way you look at it. the parties believe that there is an appetite for more public spending. so, the debate is likely to range around whose plans strike the right balance between being responsible, but also truly radical. economic crisis... the tories‘ increase in spending would be less than labour's but the conservatives are trying to shake off the age of austerity. it's a bit as if you'd come to me ten years ago and taken my raincoat away and i've spent ten years cold and wet and then you've tapped me on the shoulder and said, "great news, i found you a rain coat". well, it's worth recalling, back in 2010, where our economy was.

we had just gone from deepest reception recession in almost 100 years... until manifestos have actually unveiled things are a little bit up in the air. the liberal democrats say that the parties should submit their plans for independent analysis. the arguments over what this country can afford are onlyjust beginning. jessica parker, bbc news. the royal family, senior politicians, and diplomats have joined veterans and religious leaders at the cenotaph in central london to mark remembrance sunday. the prince of wales led the wreath—laying in memory of those who've died in conflict. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. it is that morning of the year when we pause, when the matters which seem so pressing on other days are set in a broader perspective as the nation comes together to remember those who lost their lives in the world wars and other more recent conflicts.

just fighting but this many viewers it has not really happen before at this level. how safe was it? i do know about the safety measures. i assume since they got licence it would had to go through all the stringent medical procedures that we all have to as professional boxers. that's paramount, the most important thing is a safety of the boxers so i assume they went through that process like any boxer would. what was the quality of the fight like? to be fairto was the quality of the fight like? to be fair to say they were novices, and it was their debut and under the events, and it was their debut and under the eve nts , pressure and it was their debut and under the events, pressure of so many viewers, i think it was pretty... have wavered fair kansas france boxers i don't know. but as expectable, i think they were decent for novices. but how many people who train for yea rs but how many people who train for years and are still amateurs would like to turn professional will be looking on in envy at this?|j like to turn professional will be looking on in envy at this? i think a lot of them will be but where

boxing is a business, there is a market for it. and something that ca ptu res market for it. and something that captures the public‘s imagination, thanit captures the public‘s imagination, than it will happen. it's one of those things that's fascinating about sport, the unpredictability. and sometimes the underdog spectacle of prize fighting. and these two well—known names, but it has ca ptu red well—known names, but it has captured people's imagination. there area captured people's imagination. there are a lot of people who might be quite jealous but we do live in the age of reality tv, social media and sometimes they are things that come before talent. that's how it is. how might then be established boxing fraternity be looking at this as an opportunity for the future? fraternity be looking at this as an opportunity for the future ?|j fraternity be looking at this as an opportunity for the future? i don't know. some people have been dead against it. they may see it others as opportunities, but if this happens regularly and have celebrity let's say boxing every single week, it would lose its novelty and uniqueness i guess if we are use to it. i think the thing is that it is

very unusual much like when conor mcgregor boxed floyd mayweather crossing ufc to boxing. if that happened every single week, it would not be quite as exciting. i don't think there can be a great deal taken from it because it is very unusual but on the positive side, i get why people would be against it. but on the positive it might bring people to the sport to either trite or do it for training or just people to the sport to either trite or do it for training orjust to watch it who wouldn't normallyjust like strictly come dancing does for dancing. it might wring lots more people to dancing at the end of the day and anything that gets people active is something positive and that's got to be good. stacey copeland. in the last few minutes we have been hearing more from the environment agency in response to the situation in south yorkshire.
