explaining how we opinions. i was explaining how we are absolutely ruthless in tackling anybody who puts their effort over the legal line. we are accountable to the law, we can't enforce taste or decency but we can enforce the law. and we've made 3a arrests over the recent protest, we've got another 22 cases on the back of those where we are searching for individuals. our counterterror teams have got 150 cases individuals. 0ur counterterror teams have got 150 cases triage out of 1500 referrals, 150 cases of behaviour online which is of deep concern and we are going after those individuals. there is a massive amount of operational work going on and it's important, you can help frankly with making that visible to communities that we are doing that because we really get this. and then the conversation finished really around the line of the law and it's ourjob around the line of the law and it's our job to around the line of the law and it's ourjob to enforce to that line,

it's parliament's job to draw that line and the thought that may be events at the moment illustrate some of the lines aren't in the right place. there have been reports from the counterterror commission and law commission and more recently from sirjohn saunders with the manchester inquiry inquest, talking about the law needs to change to be stronger at dealing with extremism and the home secretary and her colleagues are thinking hard about that. so, a constructive meeting in difficult times where sober and determined thought is required. that was sir mark rowley. the environment agency has warned there could be further flooding in the north of england and the midlands — following torrential rain from storm babet. across england, there are more than 100 flood warnings in place. and in scotland, first minster humza yousaf has been visiting brechin — one of the worst hit areas. we'll have more on that in a moment, but first greg mackenzie has this report.

residents from more than 500 homes in this nottinghamshire town have been evacuated due to flooding caused by storm babet. retford county council told people they were at risk from high water levels along the river idle. for many, this leisure centre is home for now. we've taken everything up apart from a big three piece suite and turned the water off, turned electric off, and that's all you can do. it's not normally the idle here in retford that is affected like this so it's a little bit unusual and residents here perhaps not used to it in the way that some other communities are. so, again, we're out there trying to keep people informed and we've set up this centre to try and help people as well. in neighbouring stapleford, one resident had to cut short his holiday to see the damage for himself. my daughter phoned me and says, "your bungalow�*s under water. that's a very nice surprise for us, yes.

so we've just basically landed at east midlands airport. four people are confirmed to have died. a man in his 60s passed away in shropshire and two people have died in scotland, including 57—year—old wendy taylor, who was swept away by river water. derbyshire police say it's investigating the death of a woman in her 80s who died in chesterfield after her home was flooded. many families are unlikely to be back in their properties before christmas. local authorities say the clean—up operation could take days, if not weeks. meanwhile, the environment agency has warned that rivers are at record levels in parts of the midlands and northern england. and with water still rising, there is still a risk of further flooding. greg mackenzie, bbc news. in scotland, there are fears that some residents in brechin — one of the most severely affected

areas — could be unable to return to their homes for months. this morning, the first minister, humza yousaf, visited the town to see the damage caused when the river south esk breached flood defences. and in an interview with the bbc, he said that the government would provide support for the local community throughout the months ahead. i wanted to come here to talk to residents, go to their homes and speak to them first. it's clear to see the devastation of the storm is like nothing they've ever seen before. in terms of what the government can do, we're here to support angus council with funding. the recoveryjourney will be long and funding in relation to further flood prevention schemes, we'll be supporting this council as best we possibly can as it'll be a long road to recovery. talk us through that funding, what can you provide in the immediate and long—term?

i've had this conversation with angus council, they've just started the recovery now so we'll have continuing conversations over the next days and weeks and months to see what funding we can provide. we've already said we will put forward £150 million to help with floods in the current term. that's beyond the 42 million that we already provide. we will provide funding and assistance to angus council, we'll need to understand what their funding requirements are. you've mentioned £150 million on top of £40 million already provided, surely that isn't going to cut it based on the estimations. i've made it very clear to the chief executive leader of angus council that we're here with their partners alongside them in the long

road to recovery. some of these things could take a while to come into play. so many things have already been activated earlier. we want to reassure businesses and residents in angus that we can support, the government can support angus council as well as we can. it will take time and the recovery journey will be long. i've seen this with my own eyes. we were in one lady's house and she said she doesn't want to return home, she's been put up in dundee as herfamily are here, what can you do for people in that situation? i spoke to that resident, too, we're going to see if we can provide accommodation a lot closer to where her daughter goes to school here in angus.

we were in the emergency phase over the weekend, so the recovery phase has started today and we're trying to provide as much certainty for people's accommodation as we can. lots of mention of insurance, people not having insurance or not being able to get it in the future. this is a concern for individuals and businesses alike, we will take this up with the british insurance brokers' association, we want to see what we can do to help businesses and individuals without insurance. the scottish first minister humza yousaf there. a man's been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage following a fire which destroyed more than 1,000

vehicles at luton airport. it comes as the first cars parked at the terminal two car park — started to be removed this morning. kate bradbrook sent this report. well, it's coming up to two weeks since this huge fire at the multi—storey car park behind me. it's estimated around 1,500 cars were inside at the time. and it was such a huge fire that the structure is now unsafe. it's partially collapsed. and as the fire service described it at the time, the floors pancaked one on top of the other. and because it is unsafe, people are unable to go in. and so a lot of these cars, it's going to be very hard to retrieve. having said that, though, the recovery process begins today. this massive crane behind me is attempting to recover around 100 cars from the top deck here today. the idea being they'll be taken to a secure compound and that the owners hopefully will be able to come and retrieve their belongings.

well, today, bedfordshire police said that a man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in relation to this fire. he's now been released on bail, but it's understood that arrest was made as a precaution and that the police investigation into this fire suggests that it was caused by an accident, by a vehicle fault. that investigation is expected to continue for some time. labour is warning that thousands of people who rent could be forced from their homes if a promised government ban on no—fault evictions in england is delayed. a new law is being debated by mps today which would end the right of landlords to evict tenants for no reason with only two months' notice. ministers maintain the bill will be passed — but labour say they fear it will be watered down, amid reports of a backlash among tory mps.

now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. good afternoon. most of us started off our working week on a cooler but quieter note welcome news. but there was some rain around and some of it fairly persistent out towards the southwest. with this weather front, we could also see more rain moving into the southeast of england later on in the day. but that front out to the west, well, it broughtjust shy of two inches of rain injust six hours. the isles of scilly, it was a miserable start to monday morning here. elsewhere, a few scattered showers moving their way up through wales. but it's a relatively quiet day for many and in fact we've got sunshine across northern england and for the bulk of scotland. as we go through the day, clouding over a little across england and wales, particularly down to the southeast where there's a risk of some rain arriving here to close out play. temperatures generally around 11 to 16 degrees, a smidge above where they should be really still for this time of year.

as we go through the evening and overnight, we'll see some rain, some of it heavy, pushing its way in areas where we don't need it across east anglia, lincolnshire, parts of the east midlands and into yorkshire as well. and at the same time that's going to bejoined by another weather front moving in from the southwest. with the cloud and rain around, those temperatures will hold up into double digits, but there's more wet weather to come as we go through to tuesday. so if we look at that in a little more detail, it's this weather front that's just pushing in off the north sea and it might bring outbreaks of rain fairly showery, but nevertheless, we do not need any more rain in these areas. and that's going to be persistently there throughout the day. to the north of that, we keep some sunshine and a drier story in scotland. to the south, there'll be a few scattered showers. and again, those temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. wednesday will start off on a relatively quiet note with a ridge of high pressure. it's not going to last as the next frontal system is likely to nudge in from the west as we go through the day.

so it'll be a quiet start, a few showers pushing in off the north sea. some sunshine for some of us across england and wales before outbreaks of rain arrive by the end of the day on wednesday. a little bit cooler, 10 to 1a degrees on the whole. but that weather front will bring some wet and windy weather potentially thundery to begin with as it moves its way steadily north and east. don't expect any change to the weather story as we move to the weekend and into next week. it stays pretty autumnal.
