After a day of disruption, this family managed to rebook. We are off on holiday the Wedding Party will get new flights tomorrow night. Where are you going to put us tonight . Ive got no hotels. Ba now says the computer problem has been resolved and its apologised to the thousands of passengers affected today, but it says there will be a knock on effect and that people did manage on the hole to fly out later today, but people are angry that that system failure has caused problems for so many at the height of summer, and anger and frustration here that they felt they were not getting the help from British Airways when they need to rebook flights and hotels. Around 1,500 people who had to leave their homes in derbyshire last thursday because of fears a dam would collapse have finally been allowed to return home. Emergency services say the dam wall at the toddbrook reservoir is now stable after it was damaged following heavy rain last week. 0ur correspondent, judith moritz, joined residents as they returned. This is the moment the whole town was waiting for. Without ceremony, roadblocks lifted, Whaley Bridge open again. The streets empty for a last moment, and then the first residents began to reappear. Amongst them, margot and dave graham, back home for the first time in nearly a week after waiting all morning for the green light. Looking at your phone every five minutes, and then happily, the police just came and said, the cordons off, go home. When you come in and realise this could all have gone, its more than bricks and mortar, its the whole town, its the community. Ive just come back down now to be hugged by one of my neighbours. Whaley bridge is back open for business too. Moments after the cordon lifted, the first haircut was under way. Couldnt wait, desperate for a haircut so normal lifes back on . Thank goodness and, to everyones relief, the pubs been unlocked too. Landladyjennifer back behind the bar, and counting her blessings that disaster has been averted. You can see the relief. Its emotional, though. It is very emotional. We got in the car to come down, weve only been staying on chapel road, and i drove the car down in floods of tears. Butjust to be in here isjust the best feeling in the world. With sandbags being cleared up all around them, people are hugely grateful for the emergency effort. It is amazing. We cant thank them enough. If it wasnt for this lot and their quick arctions, we wouldnt have a home to come home to. Where have you been over the last few days . Weve been staying at a friends attic. Not ideal, but we were safe and we were all together, so thats all that matters. There was some disruption with bridge repairs closing one road, but the Police Working to smooth any problems. Themselves pleased to see normality returning. Its made it completely worthwhile. This is what its been all about for us each day and now. Im sad for what everyones had to go through but weve worked extremely hard to do a good job for everyone. The dam on the towns doorstep will be monitored closely from now on. After a week, Whaley Bridge would like to after a week Whaley Bridge would like to forget, no one wants to go through this experience again. This is the first time in over a week its been safe for me to stand here. Three things led to the reopening of Whaley Bridge today, the repairs to the dam, the amount of water thats been pumped out of the reservoir and the measures that are now in place to measure the amount of rain which is forecast, and police to might have said, we shouldnt forget that the dam is still broken and that there are weeks of work potentially which lie ahead for them to assess exactly the level of damage which has been caused long term and then formulate a plan to rebuild it permanently. There could be long delays and disruption for more than 5,000 lorries crossing the channel every day if the uk leaves the European Union without a deal. Thats the warning in government plans for the worst Case Scenario, which have been disclosed to the bbc. It comes as the Food Industry called on the government to waive aspects of competition law so that companies can co ordinate supplies in the event of a no deal brexit. The food and drink federation has warned there would be some shortages and serious disru ption. Tonight, michael gove, the minister responsible for brexit no deal planning, said he was confident there was a resilient food supply system. 0ur economics editor, faisal islam, reports. They call it a rolling motorway, the 20 minute turnaround of a channel tunnel freight train. Fresh fish, medical products, car parts, even thoroughbred horses, are exported and imported in a system built on zero checks but that is now changing. Vladimir is picking up a trailer of fresh food thats come overnight from spain to be imported into britain. Estas frutas these fruits peaches. Uno es carga par tesco, y otro tesco. This lorry park at the mouth of the channel tunnel in france is full of refrigerated trucks, the embodiment of britains dependence on fresh food and its even more at the end of october, just when the uks scheduled to leave with an increasingly likely no deal brexit. The government says the overall food supply will be fine. If we leave without a deal on 0ctober if we leave without a deal on october the 31st, there will inevitably be bumps in the road, but its myjob to make sure we are as ready as possible for all contingencies, and one reason i am in dover today is that i have been talking to the people who manage the port, people responsible for the freight that travels to europe and to those who manage other ports in order to make sure that goods can flow, that people can receive in supermarkets and shops everything they need. The Food Companies are rather sceptical about what they see as the governments optimism about the impact of a no deal brexit on the supply of fresh food. They anticipate having to coordinate where trucks like these go in the united kingdom, together. That would be illegal under competition law. They want some guarantees from government. In the event of a no deal brexit, if were going to co operate to smooth out shortages of food, retailers with retailers, manufacturers with retailers, we need a cast iron assurance from the secretary of state for business that that wont be seen as a breach of competition law. But till now the government has not deemed it necessary. One reason it is getting a little less pessimistic. Bbc news has learnt that the government has now twice lowered the secret assumption about the disruption to cross channel freight from a no deal brexit. Why . Because of this facility, unused at the moment, never before needed, to check british exports into the eu. This is all contingency planning, 13 Million Euros worth of buildings and truck storage space, inspection facilities, just in case there are additional controls required after no deal brexit day. The perfect solution is that this never goes into active service. Last year the governments reasonable worst Case Scenario for no deal was that for 3 6 months only one or two in every ten freight lorries crossing the channel would make it through normally, with the restjoining queues. In april this secret assessment shared with industry, but not the public, was up to around four and ten on account of new preparations made of the french side of the border. In the past few days, that has been further raised to around half of all lorries. Better than it was, but it still means thousands of lorries stuck on motorways in kent and around calais. We are not going to have frictionless trade on day one no deal, in spite of some progress that has been made on preparedness and contingency plans on all sides. This tunnel was built on franco british cooperation. For trade to continue to flow smoothly through it, as much depends on what happens here in france is preparations back home.

The price of energy is set to fall for millions of british households in october after the regulator, 0fgem, lowered the price cap on standard tariffs by £75. The price cap, which came into force this year, limits how much suppliers can charge you per unit of energy. The average bill for the ii million homes on standard tariffs is £1,254 a year. That will now fall to £1,179. The shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell, has been criticised by mps in his own party after saying that a future Labour Government would not block a second Scottish Independence referendum. His comments were contradicted by the scottish labour leader, richard leonard. He said his party would refuse to grant holyrood the power to hold another vote. 0ur scotland editor, sarah smith, has more. Striding deeper into controversy today, John Mcdonnell once again completely contradicted the scottish labour leadership when he said a Labour Government should not try to block a second independence referendum. Im not being set up by Nicola Sturgeon, because thats what shes trying to do. Shes trying to say its the big bad english yet again, trying to prevent us have a referendum. No, were not. What were saying is its unnecessary, well campaign against having a referendum, but were not using parliamentary devices to block it its as simple as that. This was after he had been clearly told by labours scottish leader thats not the policy. I met with John Mcdonnell this morning to put to him the very clear view that the people of scotland do not want a second independence referendum. Also to remind him that the last independence referendum was supposed to be a once in a generation referendum. Many more senior scottish labour figures are furious with mr mcdonnell, saying hes ignorant of the political situation in scotland. John mcdonnells appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe have set off a bitter fight within the labour party over a second scottish referendum. One other important thing he has just said is that a Labour Government would not enter any kind of pact with the snp because, he said, theyre not socialists, in fact, he compared them to tories. Hard hat on to deflect thatjibe, Nicola Sturgeon is both delighted by scottish labours disarray and prepared to support a minority Labour Government. I would want, if the circumstances lent themselves to this, the snp to be part of a Progressive Alliance to keep the tories out of office and particularly now, to avert brexit. Festival fever grips edinburgh every august. The scottish political scene is now equally engaging, especially as one poll this week suggested more scottish voters would now say yes to independence than stick with the united kingdom.

President trump is visiting dayton in ohio and el paso in texas where 31 people were killed in two deadly shootings at the weekend. The shooting in the border town of el paso is being investigated by police as an act of domestic terrorism. The fbi has announced its also investigating a further deadly gun attack at a Food Festival in california a week earlier as a possible act of home grown terrorism. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports. First up on the president ial gun crime tour, dayton, ohio, where nine people were killed at the weekend. The president again floated and the idea of tightened background checks but dismissed a ban on weapons. Before leaving the white house, he denied his fiery rhetoric on immigration had contributed to the problem. I am concerned about the rise of any group of hate, i dont like it. Any group of hate, whether its White Supremacy, whether its any other kind of supremacy, whether it is any group of hate, i am very concerned about it and i will do something about it. Whats going on . They shooting at a garlic festival in gilroy california a few weeks ago is now also being investigated as domestic terrorism, like el paso. White supremacy, an old problem rearing its head again. From the fbi over the last two years, the number of their investigations are racially motivated and within that category, the majority are White Supremacy extremist motivated. This makeshift shrine, alongside the walmart here in el paso, probably stretches for Something Like 100 yards. There is always the hope on occasions like this that something good might emerge out of something so dreadful. But in America Today the problems of hate of guns, of racism, seem as intractable as ever. These two nurses, erin and stephanie, were working at the local hospital last saturday. Everything was chaotic, nurses getting called in. Things are different, and you can feel sombre in the hospital. And what do you feel about the president coming today . I think its probably bad timing for him to come right now. And emotions are still incredibly raw. I would prefer if you ask my daughter. I cant talk. I would like him to bring unity, not only to el paso, texas. But to our country. Its a unity that everyone yearns for, but is proving incredibly elusive. Jon sopel, bbc news, el paso. Police searching for a 35 year old british woman who disappeared on a greek island say they have found a body. She was reported missing by her partner on monday after failing to return from a run. Pension rules for senior nhs staff in england and wales look set to be reformed after many doctors were landed with big tax bills after working extra shifts. The current rules have been blamed for making it difficult to fill staffing rotas and bring down waiting lists. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. Doctor amyjones feels shes been hit hard by the pension tax rules. Shes intensive Care Specialist in south wales and does extra hours to help the air ambulance, as well as being an army reservist. All of that means unexpected tax bills, one for nearly £14,000. Youve got two options, really. You either cut your work down to the absolute minimum and take on no additional work, which lots and lots of doctors have done. I dont feel i can do that because id have to cut out all of the bits of myjob that make it enjoyable for me, so ive ended up not doing that. So, ive ended up taking the other option, which is to withdraw from the Pension Scheme. If i dont withdraw from the Pension Scheme and i dont cut my hours, ill get a £15 20,000 tax bill every single year. Tougher rules on pension tax relief for high earners have hit doctors on a salary above £110,000 a year. Theyve affected extra shifts worked, which can currently be taxed at anything between 75 100 . Many hospital say its often been difficult getting enough doctors to do extra shifts to help bring down waiting lists because of the pension issue, and its come at an awkward time, with all the existing pressure on the nhs. The governments now planning to change the rules for doctors like amy, so they can cut their pension contribution and ask for the employers payment to be moved into their wage packets, and thats been welcomed by the profession. Its a step in the right direction, theyre actually listening to us, that there is a problem, giving us flexibility. But she isnt convinced yet it will make a big difference. While she keeps up her hours, shes concerned that colleagues will continue to turn down extra work and the nhs will struggle with winter not far off. Hugh pym, bbc news. Its the media story of our time the rise and rise of streaming services such as netflix, Amazon Prime Video and disney life. Nearly half of homes in the uk now use these Internet Based Services for films, documentaries, dramas and comedies. And youtube is very much in the mix too, particularly for young people. Theyre all piling the pressure on traditional tv broadcasters, as our technology correspondent, rory cellan jones, reports. Heres how tv works in a modern family. Mum, madeline, is in command of the main television. Daughter, freya, is on her laptop, browsing online video. While son aiden is watching some youtube. Have you got something on telly that you want to watch . And every now and then, they get together to discuss their various viewing options. Well, exactly. If Something Else crops up that you need, you can disappear off and watch it upstairs in your bedroom. Theres been a leap in the numbers using streaming services such as netflix. Last year, just over 11 million homes paid for them. This year, thats grown to over 13 million, nearly half of all homes. While traditional broadcast tv still dominates viewing, its falling sharply from 2112 minutes a day on average in 2010 to 192 minutes last year. In the online world, new players are giving viewers he a dizzying array of choices, posing a tricky challenge for traditional broadcasters. Major tv events like the finale of line of duty can still attract a major audience more than 9 Million People tuned into this but uk broadcasters are being massively outspent. Netflix will have 15 billion thats over £12 billion to spend this year on new content. Thats many times whats available for new uk programming. The media regulator says Public Service broadcasting is worth preserving. I think we are getting huge benefits from uk home grown and produced content, which reflects the lives of british people back to them. The Research Shows viewers are still pretty satisfied with the quality of tv, but more and more say that Online Services are their main way of viewing. Many younger people are already giving up on Old Fashioned broadcast television. Rory cellan jones, bbc news. More than 50,000 people who have tickets for a music and surfing fesitval in cornwall this weekend have been told its off because of Severe Weather warnings. High winds and heavy rain are expected on friday and saturday. The organisers say the event in newquay has been cancelled after discussions with the police over safety. Fiona lamdin is there. And thank you. It is hard to imagine on such a beautiful evening like tonight why 50,000 people were turned away this morning from the Music Festival. But Severe Weather is on its way. They are predicting winds of up to 50 miles an hour over this weekend and the site just over there, where most people were meant to be camping, is on an exposed cliff and organisers said it was just far too dangerous. Dismantling the party that never had the chance to get going. A years worth of planning for this Music Festival unravelled within hours. All brought to a sudden halt by strong winds forecast for this weekend. We couldnt guarantee the safety of our customers given the impending Severe Weather hitting us on friday and saturday. Weve got forecast winds of up to 94 kilometres an hour and took the very difficult decision, but the only one we could make, to ensure we put the safety of our guests first. While today the stages stayed silent, crowds instead gathered at the train station. We had an 11 hour coachjourney. It was going down the coach, wasnt it . Everyone was suddenly being like, its cancelled, what . it was a complete. People were trying to get off. I think itsjust a bit ofajoke because, i mean, we got told so late last night, what were we supposed to do . People have made bookings. The fact wed planned our route and the fact they did it the night before at 11 30 is just a bit ridiculous. With the festival campsite closed, many had nowhere to go. By mid morning, the tourist board said all campsites were full. But the surfing side of this festival is still very much up and running. As you can see, this beach is packed with spectators, all watching the surfing and will very much be hoping the weather warnings dont interfere with that. But for many whod travelled the country, todays adventure turned out to be nothing but a waste of time and money. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather. Heres helen willetts. It is going to be bad, isnt it . It is, it doesnt happen very often, perhaps once a summer, is, it doesnt happen very often, perhaps once a summer, an is, it doesnt happen very often, perhaps once a summer, an area of low pressure, it normally happens in autumn but unfortunately everyone is on holiday. People doing outdoor activities, camping, heading out in small boats. There will be large waves on the coast and heading to the hills, not great news with the weather forecast. Friday, it starts to set m, forecast. Friday, it starts to set in, thursday night it will start to set in with heavy rain. Wind starting to strengthen and escalate friday night into saturday. Met 0ffice warnings galore, details on the website. It is to do with a very deep area of low pressure but this time of year. It is pretty active out there this evening but in terms of thunderstorms. Around edinburgh region, 700 lightning strikes and just an hour or two. Very active but the showers will ease overnight and it becomes a fairly cool and calm and dry night for most of us under the starry skies. A very promising start to our thursday. Early morning mist will clear rapidly and it looks like tomorrow will be drier, fewer showers around, fewer thunderstorms but they cant be ruled out for the north and east of scotland in particular. Dryer in northern ireland, england and wales until later when already that low pressure is showing its hand in the south west with some showers starting to pop up here. Still quite warm in the sunshine tomorrow. However, this is what that potential Stormy Weather looks like into friday. Tightly packed isobars. This low pressure would normally be further north at this time of year. More rain in areas where we have already had flooding on saturated ground. Another 10 15 millimetres of rain in some areas twice that and heavy showers clustered around the low pressure with squally winds. Low to mid 20s as it is warm airfeeding m, to mid 20s as it is warm airfeeding in, hence the amount of rain but the wind is potentially gusts of 60 miles an hour in southern and western places later friday and into saturday when the load continues to produce those low and slow moving showers in the north. Very windy weather in the south and with the leaves, the trees in full leaf, that isa leaves, the trees in full leaf, that is a potential problem as well. Thank you, helen.
