more than 150 flood warnings remain in place across the uk in the aftermath of storm bert. one warning is of potential danger to life is in northamptonshire. there have also been yellow weather warnings in place in parts of scotland due to high winds, though the worst of those should now have passed. wales, the english west midlands and parts of northern ireland have been worst affected. there is still disruption to travel. we'll have more on that in a moment. let's take a look at some of the images and the stories that go with them. here in northern ireland, you can see how the side of the road has been swpt away. this is near ballycastle in the glens of antrim. local resident say they fear some people have been cut off. some areas received close to a month's worth of rain injust one weekend, with up to 190 millimetres falling over dartmoor, and the brecon beacons in wales. these pictures were supplied the by brecon mountain railway in merthyr tydfil showing

a landslide next to the track planned services across the weekend were cancelled. these pictures, filmed in tenbury in worcestershire, show the flooded high street. west mercia police say they are actively investigating video on social media showing a tractor driving through flood water in tenbury yesterday. there is ongoing disruption to travel. great western railway is advising passengers not to travel on any of its routes today. it says services on all key routes have been suspended due to flooding and fallen trees. other routes are also affected — this was northampton station earlier, with the tracks between the platforms completely flooded. there's disruption on some lines in hertfordshire and essex. there are also issues on some main roads — the a5 in northamptonshire has been affected, along with roads

in north yorkshire and cumbria. transport for wales says several services on its network are experiencing disruption today. live now to pontypridd and our correspondent nicky schiller. a beautiful day today following the chaos of the weekend. absolutely. with the sunlight as it is you wouldn't believe there had been over a month's rainfall in 48 hours over the weekend here. let me show you the river. it burst its banks at the weekend. it inundated this street that you can see here in the village. there is already as skip here that has got possessions in. you can see that the residents dry to put their sandbags up. you can see there are some sandbags. as we walked down the street we can see some of the mud that has

been left. the chapel is full of sandbags that are here as the local residents tried to protect themselves. we have been talking to the local residents. some of them have their pockets out trying to clear up in the streets. they are angry that they didn't get enough of a warning. this area was flooded in 2020, quite badly flooded in 2020. a lot of the people we have spoken to here say at that time the authorities were saying this would be a one in a 100 year event. for micro years later they have had it again. the body in wales that issues the warnings, like the environment agency in england, said they didn't get enough of a warning over the weekend that the flood was going to happen. indeed, the council here, the council

leader said that the alerts was only a yellow alert, which is the lowest of the alerts and he could not understand why it wouldn't have been an amber or red alert. there is a lot of concern about the amount of warning that the residents here in this particular streets actually got at the weekend so that they could take precautions and be able to put the sandbags up. they are out here this morning trying to do what they can with their buckets and being able to talk together to try and work out what to do. there are also media film crews as you would expect that if come down. they really want some answers from the authorities. the authorities themselves say they will look at what actually happened here over the weekend and whether there were enough warnings. they said their priority over the weekend was

to help people here who had been flooded and to make sure that they were ok, but they will as part of what they do each time there is flooding look at what warnings were issued and whether they were enough. of course, the first minister has also said that when the amount of water that falls as it did over 48 hours, it is going to be difficult to protect everyone and she was saying that we do have to look at climate change and the fact that this could get worse. the residents here are hoping that there will be some answers after they have done their clear up from the authorities about why this happened. you also said there has been disruption on the trains. i drove down this morning through some of those other areas that have been affected, listening to our colleagues on the bbc local radio stations in wiltshire, gloucestershire and in bristol. they were all

talking about the flood waters and how people were having to clear up. you mention some of the other places that have had to clear up this morning. there are still those alerts enforce. you also mentioned the trains. great western railways are the main intercity provider that runs from london paddington down here into south wales and also into the south—west of england come into devon and cornwall police. they are advising people not to travel today because they really don't have any services running and they say if they do manage to get some of them running they could have to stop them because a number of lines are flooded. down in devon the line between exeter and plymouth regularly gets flooded and that has happened again, meaning they can't get any trains done that way. some of the smaller branch lines in devon and cornwall

police are also having problems, for example the one that runs from exmouth down to barnstable. the line from crediton to okehampton is not running today. the advice is if you are thinking about travelling by train from london down into south wales worth the south—west you really shouldn't do it today because there are unlikely to be many, if any, services running. the fact that the sun is out does not mean the sun is out does not mean the impact of the flooding over the impact of the flooding over the last two days isn't still being felt both by the residents here, who are still having to clear up and talks —— talk amongst themselves about what to do and why there aren't one enough warnings. on the train services, bbc radio wales was saying there were a number

of roads still closed in the area because of the flooding and also as i was passing around cardiff it was very windy and there was a sudden outburst of showers in and around that area. so certainly not out of the woods at the moment and the best advice is to check on the bbc weather website or app for the very latest on those flood alerts and warnings that are still in force. as you can see, the sandbags are still out in this swan street here in south wales as the residents clear up after the flooding that i have had here over the weekend.

0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is also in pontypridd. the clean—up operation is continuing. you might be able to hearjust in front of me there. we've got one of the lorries going around trying to clear some of this silt, which is all over sloane street here, right next to the river taff. this street was underwater yesterday, affecting yet again for the second time in four years, the houses alongside. here you can see that a number of the houses have got, most of them have got these doors in place to protect some of the rainwater when it does come over, but regardless, the majority of them have all had water in their homes overnight. and sorry, over the weekend as well. let me just take you over

here to dean loader from the south wales fire and rescue service, who've been very busy over the past 2440 eight hours. just talk to me about how the operation has been for you. it's been a testing time for our communities and all all responding agencies for us as a fire service. it's very testing period. yesterday was quite extensive with the number of calls that we were receiving. they peaked with several hundred calls through a very short duration, meaning that we had to take a lot of calls, respond to to the most vulnerable members of our communities. 0ur amazing staff down at our fire control did an amazing work. they had to receive some resilience and requests from around 21 other fire control services across the uk, supporting our our own fire control operators and obviously down to the firefighters themselves coming out and responding to to the numerous requests somewhere, sometimes where they are helping to save lives as well. we werejust talking off air and kind of saying there's a bit of deja vu, really, isn't it? because we were both here back

in 2020 when storm dennis hit. this road was flooded. it was flooded down in gnangara a couple of miles down the road here. how do you think it compares to to then in terms of the devastation it's caused on the residents and the communities? yeah, as you said, i was here myself four years ago on a personal level, stood at stood on this bridge, looking at this road, seeing it flooded and then watching it myself on the news last night, speaking to colleagues who were here during the duration of yesterday and across south wales as well. so we saw this replicated in many other communities. i think from a fire service perspective, flooding is now a statutory duty for us. so the response and the training investment that we've put in, uh, pays dividends and it allows us to come and contribute to the communities in the best manner that we can. there's always lessons to be learned. how long do you think it will be before these communities can, can go back to to living normally again? how much how long was it last time around? from memory, it took quite some time. i guess from the last period,

back in storm dennis four years ago, um, i'm not sure at the moment they'll be going around and speaking to to the other community members and having a closer look across south wales. there's a lot of work going on from a multi—agency perspective in terms of recovery and coordinated responses to make sure that these community members get the support that they need. let's speak to sian williams who is the head of north—west operations at natural resources in wales, which issues flood warnings. let's start with the flood morning that was issued. some councillors have said they were amazed that only a yellow weather warning was issued. we are weather warning was issued. - are hearing a lot of concerns today. yesterday as well around

the weather warning that was issued. 0bviously the weather warning that was issued. obviously the weather warnings come through from the met office in relation to storms and different weather patterns that are likely to come. they issued weather warnings for rain and wind at the back end of last week. we worked hard as we do in the run—up to any event to make sure we were ready on the ground and our systems were operating, making sure that we needed to check to ensure our defences were operational in advance of the storm, so that is the way that we work. 0bviously, is the way that we work. obviously, the weather warnings themselves come down to the met office and i'm sure that there will be looking to see whether it was appropriate, whether they need to learn lessons, do things differently in the future, but that is absolutely for them. we do work very closely with them through the met office and the flood

forecasting centre and ourselves, looking at what may come over the coming days. that is a pattern that happens anyway. last week leading up to the story did a lot of work. our systems themselves, we operate flood warning system, so anybody who is living in a flood risk area can sign up at warnings through ourselves and those operate on a three tiered basis, looking at the river levels. in the river levels reach a certain level we will issue a flood alerts and when they go to the next regular level it is a flood warning and in extreme cases we can issue extreme flood warnings as well. those are the different types of warnings that are issued. given the amount of destruction and devastation we are seeing on the ground, what alert level should have been out? that on the ground, what alert level should have been out?- should have been out? that is something _ should have been out? that is something for _ should have been out? that is something for us _ should have been out? that is something for us to _ should have been out? that is something for us to look - should have been out? that is something for us to look at. i should have been out? that is. something for us to look at. we are hearing people say that

they did not receive enough time from the flood alerts in pontypridd that you're covering today, it was issued on saturday. then a flood warning, which is the middle level, was issued early yesterday morning. people are saying that that did not give enough time from when the warning was issued to when the warning was issued to when the flood happened. we have checked this morning, it was issued at the right level as was accepted for that trigger to happen, but the river rose so quickly, it was an extreme event with the river rising very quickly and that is what happened yesterday morning. we will go back and look and see if there are things we could do differently
