that is to lyme regis first. through the morning there has been those waves coming in because of the heavy winds and those boats that you saw there that often these fishing boats would be going out on a saturday. they are not today, and this is because of those wins. we know that across the country there have been a number of reports of how strong these winds has been. in the isles of scilly we had 67 mph and we have just seen 82 miles and we have just seen 82 miles an hour recorded in conwy county in wales. gusts of up to 60 miles an hour are expected inland and up to 70 miles an hourin inland and up to 70 miles an hour in coastal areas. you can see there the boats in the harbour in lyme regis. let's go further down into the south—west in cornwall. this is porthleven and again you can see that it is windy conditions. should say that this wind has led to a number of power lines coming down and looking at the map from the national grid in the south—west area there are a number of power cuts that we are seeing. i a

let's go to lyme regis which has been very blowing all morning. can see there some people braving the elements but certainly the fishing boats that have been there have not been going out because of these wins. the winds have ranged at 67 mph were recorded on the isles of scilly, with gusts of “p isles of scilly, with gusts of up to 80 mph in wales and that has led to power lines coming down and the issue that there are around 3000 buildings and properties that don't have any power at the moment in england and also in wales. we have been looking at the map of the latest ones and there are certainly some in devon. there are also some power cuts in cornell. here are some pictures from there. again, you can see the waves they are and this has been like this all morning. we were talking to a local resident there earlier this today and they were talking about how windy it is. again, this is leading to the problem of those lines coming down and the fact they have been cut. let's move to scotland, which of course had those amber alerts earlier for snow.

this is lyme regis in dorset in the southwest of england.ne is being battered by heavy winds as well as rain. let's take you to port levin in cornwall where there are heavy gusts of wind, up to 70 mph battering coastal areas of the uk. scotland is one of the worst affected parts of the country. these are live pictures from edinburgh. people are enjoying the snow, i can see some children who have been enjoying the snow for the time being but what we understand is that in other parts of scotland, the snowfall has caused massive travel disruption and people are being warned not to leave their homes unless they have two. —— have to. 0ur news reporter 0li constable was in barnard castle in the north east of england, which saw heavy snowfall. he gave me this update earlier on what impact the weather has had. this is the a66 behind me. the snow gates that are usually closed are not closed today, that surprising to national highways who i spoke to elia, who said officially this road should be closed, but we've had cars, trucks and lorries coming pas

we've seen pictures from lyme regis and porthleven of those harbours where you can see the waves andf scilly of 67 mph. very strong winds. that could lead to some trees coming down. this is going to be localised in particular areas but we are also now seeing power cuts. there are around 1,000 homes in wales but don't have any power and there are areas in devon where there have been some power cuts down there. what happens when there is the strong winds? you can often see that these power lines will come down in these winds and that will lead to localised power cuts in some areas. the next issue we are going to see is probably flooding because we've had the snow and particularly in north yorkshire, the temperatures are rising so that means that the snow that fell this morning is now beginning to melt and that will build up in the rivers and so there are now a number of flood alerts and flood warnings in force. that applies to scotland. it applies to areas of england and we are also seeing a rise in those of flood alerts in wales. so across the whole of the uk, there have been problems

we just want to show you these live pictures from lyme regis in the west of england.hese are pictures from the you can see the power of those waves there on your screens. for a few moments the camera has been shaking because of the winds there. the west of england is said to be the worst affected part of the country when it comes to rain and wind. of course we have had reports of snow fall much further north in scotland and the north—east of england as well. we will bring you much more on those developments as we get them and the impact of storm bert. this is an area part of the country affected. this is the a66, behind me. not close today, which is surprising to national highways who said this road should officially be closed. we have had the snow ploughs and graters. trying to get people moving. we were told that we could expect up to 30 centimetres of snow in this part of the world as part of that amber web weather warning. it's not quite got that extreme. i've done an unscientific test with a tape measure and its around ten centimetres. we are told about that disr

lyme regis was battered by its force. one man died after a tree fell on his car in hampshire.e unable to take off and land for a time at newcastle airport and in parts of the countryside, and in parts of the countryside, heavy snow was a challenge for farmers. these extremes do seem to be coming more frequently but one thing�*s for sure — right across the country today, farmers are going to be out tending their livestock. for others, like here in cumbria, it was the rain and flooding that caused problems. in wales, five adults and five children were rescued from a property after a landslide. northern ireland also saw significant flooding, here engulfing a railway line. national grid says over 2,000 buildings in england and wales are still without electricity. it�*s been pretty tough out there. the weather conditions this morning were probably the most challenging with the snow. it was quite heavy in areas and difficult getting access to some of the locations where we needed to carry out repairs, and that�*s kind of improved through the day as the rain�*s come and melted quite

let's go to lyme regis in dorset, this is down there on the coast. you can see all of the coast. can see all of the boats are there in the harbour, they are not braving those conditions. you can see just about through that haze that the winds are causing those waves to come in and we have seen a few people walking around there, but you can see all of those small vessels that often would be out are not, but a lot of people believing going down onto the beach there, the camera is around to give us an idea of what is going on there in lyme regis. those boats all covered up. let us go further down into the south—west, and this is cornwall. again, you can see the wind is causing those waves and the conditions there. we already know that there. we already know that there have been winds up to 67 miles per hour in the isles of scilly and also parts of devon. the wind is the issue, but as i mentioned, the amber warnings for snow are in the north—east of scotland. let's take you to scotland, this is the live picture from edinburgh at the moment and you can see there are some children out

this is lyme regis in dorset.e were talking about the snow, but it is the wind that will hit the western side of england. we have already had gusts reaching 67 mph at st mary's in the isles of scilly. also berry head in devon. the winds could strengthen further through the day, reaching well into 70 mass per hour. so, that is the scene at lyme regis. let's go now to cornwall, where you can see the waves are coming in and the winds are producing these waves. i certainly would not want to be going out in any sort of small boat or vessel from there in cornwall. that is where we are keeping an eye today on the winds. as i say, gusts of up to 70 mph expected later. we have already had 67 mph recorded at st mary's in the scilly islands. and also bury head. in yorkshire, this is the same. it is a very snowy there in north yorkshire, as we saw earlier. this is where there has been quite a lot of snow already. some of those roads have been closed. there are a lot of warnings. we have been looking at some of the traffic cam
