11:20 pm
so, the prime minister has announced 10,000 more troops and police to join the relief effort. entire neighbourhoods are still caked in mud, the streets stricken with the detritus of lives. legions of locals do what they can to clear, but it's barely scratching the surface. 0utside one damaged home, we met pablo. 0n the night of the floods, he rescued some elderly residents of a nearby retirement home and retrieved those that didn't make it. and it's been destroyed? yes... he takes me to the spot where the pensioners lived happily until tuesday. we went inside and we found them inside, down theirfridges, down their sofas. now when you look over there... i can't, i can't. yesterday, i tried with my brother go there and see, but i couldn't. i couldn't. and now a flood of solidarity,

11:22 pm
a major party in the uk. in her victory speech, kemi badenoch promised to renew the party and said it was time to �*get down to business'. here's our political editor chris mason. this way for the latest political drama, the conclusion of a conservative leadership race — yes, another one. anticipation and jeopardy for the spouses of the candidates. robertjenrick�*s wife clutching her seat reservation, kemi badenoch's husband hoping small talk will swallow these nervy minutes. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome kemi badenoch and robertjenrick. - just moments before, the two candidates had been told the result. now, it was time for the rest of us to find out. kemi badenoch, 53,806 votes. and robert jenrick, 41,388... kemi badenoch had won. hugs, even tears in victory. smiles and magnanimous applause in defeat, too, for so long, anyway. oh, and then a bit more.
11:23 pm
there we have it — the new face of opposition, and what a task kemi badenoch takes on. it is the most enormous honour to be elected to this role, to lead the party that i love. our first responsibility as his majesty's loyal opposition, as his majesty's loyal opposition is to hold this labour government to account. our second is no less important. it is to prepare, over the course of the next few years, for government. it's a big moment, it's an emotional moment. for people who may not really know kemi badenoch, why your zealfor her? because she has courage, and that's a rare quality in politics. back in 1997, it took 13 years and four leaders for the conservative party to find
11:24 pm
a prime minister. what makes you think this time's different? well, i think if you look at the early record of this government, and we shouldn't get carried away, but they've not had a great start. well, kemi is very charismatic. i think she will give - the reverend starmer a run for his money at prime minister's questions — blimey, at the blink of an eye, you were backing robertjenrick half an hour ago, but things move on, i guess? the tory party's secret weapon is loyalty and i try my best, - sometimes it really difficult circumstances, _ to be loyal to the leader, but to be loyal to kemi i will be relatively easy. she's got great charisma. "relatively"? relatively easy... it'sjust important to be loyal to the leader. - watching on today, sizing up their new opponent, labour. i don't think there's a particularly bright a particularly bright future with her as leader of the opposition. she was part of the chaos of the conservative government over the last 14 years. the conservatives haven't learnt anything. for robertjenrick, a weekend to contemplate his future, and for kemi badenoch... have you got a lot of work

to do, ms badenoch? - can you unite the party behind you? ..these questions and many, many more. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. fireworks displays on saturday evening at least added a little bit of colour into what was otherwise a pretty grey day. this satellite image from saturday afternoon, from saturday afternoon, there's the uk — lots of cloud in place, so with winds coming in from the south and south easterly direction, look what is still to come our way. we do see a few breaks and more particularly to the north—east of scotland, where temperatures drop the furthest to take us into sunday morning. it is around the north—east

where we could see temperatures in aberdeen, four, lower than that in the countryside, a touch of frost around, mostly mild enough, 8—12 degrees. little change as far as the weather setup is concerned for sunday, high pressure still with us, not a huge amount of wind to the clouds, where we have a bit more breeze in northern scotland, an enhanced chance of a few more sunny breaks extending into the highlands, still the north—east best favoured. one or two breaks maybe in the west, but the cloud thick enough for patchy rain and drizzle, and later in the day we could see some sunny spells towards east anglia and the south—east, temperatures on sunday very similar to saturday. into sunday night we go, and again, where we've got clearer breaks in northern scotland, temperatures will drop the furthest. a mild night, patchy rain, or drizzle, misty over the hills to take us into monday morning. and once again, for most, temperatures not dropping a huge amount to start the day. temperatures not dropping so, as we go into the start of the new week, not a massive amount will change. a lot of dry weather around. a lot of dry weather around, high pressure still dominant. there should be a few more sunny spells as the breeze picks up every now and again, but morning fog patches could be an issue, and the other thing, as an area of high pressure

just drifts further eastwards, we get more of a southerly flow, and that, with low pressure out in the west, will help to draw in even warmer air, so temperatures will be back above normal, particularly in parts of scotland and northern ireland. for monday, though, we start off with that grey scene. a few brighter breaks here and thre in the west, but there will be a greater chance down towards the english channel coast and the south—east, of seeing some clearer skies moving in, so an enhanced chance of some sunshine, but temperatures still around 12—14 degrees at this stage. with some clearer skies, then, in the southern uk to take us into tuesday morning, and light winds, fog patches could be an issue for the commute, and where they do form, they could linger for much elsewhere, lots of cloud to begin with, a few breaks here and there, with a bit more breeze in northern scotland, here's where we will see the best of the chances. temperatures again around 12—14 degrees. take care.
