We face today as a country the union Unite says it suspended as strike by workers at Heathrow Airport which was due to take place tomorrow dozens of flights had provisionally been cancelled in anticipation of the walkout talks will continue to try to avert a fair the strike planned for Tuesday and the weather there's a yellow warning for thunderstorms in some areas there's one severe flood warning in 2 flood alerts the Manchester Generally though after some dry spells this evening there will be further outbreaks of rain in many places with cloud they can ink a few heavy bursts of rain a likely again especially after midnight tonight of 11 Celsius B.B.C. News It's 4 minutes past 10. This is still show on B.B.C. Radio Manchester B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and B.B.C. Radio Darby tonight a special program between now and midnight we're following developments at Wally bridge the weather forecast certainly earlier seemed a lot worse than it is at the moment much of the bad weather it looks round about the Leeds area at the moment seems to be really getting the worst of the weather it seems to be bypassing Well you bridge was great news for all those that are trying to put to rights all the wrongs of the last few days of course that hole which is in the dam and then trying actually to reduce the water level in the damaged self is a huge operation and the last thing that they needed was another downpour but obviously we'll monitor that carefully if instantly your tuning in for the usual programs that you get on all 3 stations for unforgettable on B.B.C. Radio Manchester that will be back next week as well Steve White on B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and Graham Tara Torrington B.B.C. Radio Darby In the meantime we're going to be back in Bali bridge in just a couple of moments time to be joined by our reporter Liam Brotherhood who's been there for today we'll catch up with him next on 3 vulnerable. We'll try to be ready to match the B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and B.B.C. Radio Darby been here since 6 this evening just keeping up to date with everything that's happening in bridge just a little update as you heard Michelle saying during the news at 10 o'clock 22 households have refused to leave breach despite being warned that the damage down there is at risk of bird sitting the 31 Wally bridge residents have been urged to leave by police who say they're putting their own lives and the emergency services at risk of around 1500 people have been affected. After part of that dam Richard on Thursday the better news is that the canal and river trust have said that water in the reservoir needed to get down to around 8 metres below the normal level it stood at 3.8 metres below normal and was being lowered by 2 metres every 24 hours have fingers crossed that situation doesn't changed with the weather out so we see something that we're keeping an eye on this evening we'll be talking to Alex Hamilton a little bit later from the Weather Center about the very latest Will Scott reporters who are in Wally bridge and actually have moved on this evening to Books them because Bradford sort of hotel in books and where some of the evacuated residents are staying and obviously it's been a huge operationally and what's the spirit in the mood in there like you know what extremely positive flow it's got we said good evening to you yes I'm at the Palace Hotel in Buxton where some of the evacuees are staying here and split between here in the university dormitories in Bucks them as well. Also I hear a lot of 5.0 I think pretty much the heroes of this whole things we've got to be honest with you can absolutely. Yes spirits very high I think everybody is just as I said to you before taken it in their stride still because what other option of they got their remaining positive they remain in cheerful and I tell you what some of the stories that I've been told over the course of the ceiling about silly things like 2 people decided to go for a pizza early on they went to a local pizza place to pick something up and they had some potato wedges thrown in free of charge because they were from Wally preach I mean it doesn't get much but it doesn't well I would be there with them on that potato be the lovely. I nearly lost To be honest if they'd have offered us not sound off but it would have been a bit rude. And in terms of the people that you've been speaking to what's the reaction of Hugo. Yes the reactions of been excellent of just been speaking to some of the firefights Nazi out front of. Her from London as I wander through the car park I can see vehicles Merseyside the vehicle here from North Wales is a vehicle from West Midlands Forest Service West Yorkshire Fire Rescue Service and I was having a chat with some London firefighters a little bit earlier as part of a toxic Oh you didn't come and offer support and they're going to be here for the foreseeable future as well with a little bit of experience because they were dealing with a reservoir in Croydon a couple of years ago that threatens to sue over talking was threatening around $10000.00 a lot of experience well but it's the residents I think that have really shown 3 for me and a little bit earlier on I caught up with Carla is a resident of Wylie bridge that's been evacuated from her with her one year old boy who went to a friend's house we didn't think that it would be that long and then it got to about 10 o'clock to our side. And found out they had to chop high school so we made our way to high school and then they put us all at the Palace Hotel So it's you your partner I'm just some Yeah one year old son Freddie also Freddie's hair is what I want one adventure for Freddie have and I mean it could it could be worse could I mean you've been put up in a fairly not fairly nice hotel admittedly you'd much rather be right home I guess and yeah definitely Freddy's if he doesn't have his toys to play with and everything and I was retained they'd finally just given us a car so he had been having to stay in the bed with those who know nothing and mostly and honestly has not been able to have proper bottles because we did have so it was really just to give him one and. He's just getting caught bored because obviously we can't take him to many places because taking fire because we don't we don't have his problem and so there's a lot of things obviously that you can. Not been able to go back and collect they did allow residents back into their homes yesterday but you missed the missed the cutoff yeah we missed half hour. Just an hour the person he was going to take was that she just went for a shower and then obviously message me the Congo. It's difficult so how are you dealing with the aegis of having to wait for things to be provided for you or are you having to go out and spend your own cash where obviously they're given as practice in the morning but obviously paid 3 people for lunch and dinner it's taken out you know a lot of cash and you know it's OK by a nice little lot deals and stuff like that but it adds up in the day. And obviously with Freddie we haven't I haven't got a full time job or anything and my partner he stays with them all the time and looks after him so it's not like got the cash to you know go out to spend and then I saw the little things isn't it Liam you just forgets about this tonight and just hearing that story resonates doesn't it you know because he's gone and certain fusion a few days ahead of us she really has just silly things that that she spoke to me about afterwards like that Freddie's one of clean clothes so they've only managed to grab what they were able to grab when they were leaving one unfortunately that the son is now run out of clean clothes so they're having to think about how they're going to get those laundered So they're approaching the hotel to try and help them out with that but yeah it's really difficult I know there was a Facebook post by her family saying that she going or not these and various other bits and pieces and she was saying that somebody in books that the goodness of their own heart went to a shock for what she needed and delivered it so that it's all for which I mean I think if anything appeared Summers is what's happening here is the. Sense of community spirit is very very real it's lovely to. Look into some good exercise and on there we're going to be back with you at that big stone Hotel where some of the evacuated residents are staying a little bit late of the meantime Leon thank you. Quarter past 10 P.C. Radio Manchester Radio Sheffield and radio Darby continuing coverage of what is happening around that area and beyond obviously Liam is in books Tim Wesley Malena has been a bridge for us all not going to let one slip Wesley go in a couple of weeks it's a bit of a dark walk back to where you need to go isn't it Wesley. Yes It speaks a great deal about the exclusion zone and the links you have to go to to get into the bridge and why actually had to do was park the car about 2 miles from here and walk up footpaths up over the top of the hill in order to come back down and look but what I'm looking at now and it is getting really dark now apart from it's a weird spectacle in front of me at the moment because you have this strand of cloud along the horizon there's a beautiful crescent moon just appeared but you've also got the yellow glow of what I guess is still poor and Pointon just across the horizon but down below the horizon you can see the lights of Wally bridge those that are high enough up where people are still in their homes in the lights have started to come on over the last hour or so the Hill is peppered with with the lights of people's homes but when you look down into the heart of Wally bridge he's dark because now he's in those homes they're all out in my You've just heard the Palace Hotel there a long way from home tonight looking down into the valley eighty's very dark across there apart from the dam itself there is a huge flood light which has been set up and that's come on in the last sort of 10 or 15 minutes and that's it's actually hard to look at I'm about a quarter of a mile away so heaven knows what it's like down there the astonishing thing that I've been watching as I've been standing up here is the Chinook helicopters coming in and dropping off bags of aggregate now they've been doing that. Throughout the years of the latter stage of this afternoon in the early part of this evening they've just been back. They were here for maybe 5 minutes and I was expecting as I heard that from pump pump pump pump as it came in down the valley I was expecting any moment now big floodlights to switch on I was expecting that sort of midnight sun spot light to come on and eliminate the work that they were doing but no they ran in complete darkness just the green and the white flashing lights on the Chinook and you could hear it you couldn't see it so I'm only assuming that they're using infrared to drop those bags and they are still dropping them with pinpoint accuracy and not a big lens up here on my camera looking nice and close to the operation down there on the dam wall and they've been trying to fill that dark hole right at the top of the dam the last remaining big depression in the front of that dam wall but we have absolutely pinpoint accuracy as they've gone on now chief. McDermott told us earlier on that the helicopter only has a license to run until 11 o'clock tonight it always said they will run up until the while they will run as long as they possibly can to keep shoring up the face of that dam yet some extra weight on it and. Trying to get it strong because as much as we have been so lucky so lucky this afternoon and that there is not been a drop of rain where I've been standing despite some fairly foreboding skies that we've had at times nevertheless there is of course the possibility that come later on in the night midnight there's a possibility we might get some more rain so they're getting as much work in as they possibly can from here to try and shore up the top of that dam quite extraordinary scenes there and I know you've been talking to various people up in us. Yes where I'm standing is that is a track that leads up from the back of Wally bridge up to the Cricket Club home just just down from the cricket club up here so people have been walking up with their dogs and they've been bringing cameras and sharing their stories of difficulty but this last that I spoke to came up earlier on and actually coming in to see family from Chapel Hill even chaplain for We've just come heads have a look we've got family here living waylay they've been evacuated because they live hide in the dam so it's just been nice to have a look around How's the family doing how are they coping with what's going on and you know right yeah good good. I've got a loss is a little bit of you feels a little bit guilty coming in while all of this is going on you know because I feel it might go that everything will be OK I think you know going over to the high school this evening and it seems that they've got it all under control. In the reservoir obviously we're focused on the rain with this afternoon which obviously hasn't come so I think Cam It seems my positive action to continue to fly I didn't in the background there was like. Yes absolutely it's been that the dominating soundscape of this event go down anywhere near the cold winds and eerily quiet because there's no traffic there's no to ing and fro ing. There is no sound in the center of Wiley bridge but then all of a sudden you hear this helicopter just coming over the horizon up one and then all that you can hear. And then it goes away and the people look big speaking to this often is said it fills a kind of mixed emotions listening to that sound because it's hope because they are bringing in the aggregate they are shoring up the dam wall and they're doing a grand job but at the same time it is a it was an unmistakable remind that work is still going on and they still feel it is worth running a military helicopter in here bringing full $56.00 tons of anger get at a time doing in the dark under infrared I can only assume they still feel that that is worth doing and that is a reminder that this is still a serious situation Wesley good luck getting back thank you for all your contributions tonight was the Malayan who has been where you preach Bruce today on B.B.C. Radio Munster B.B.C. Radio Darby and B.B.C. Radio Sheffield It's 22 minutes past 10 was the mention there about the weather obviously after all this with the last thing that we want is for the heavens to open OK the very latest details with Alex Hamilton next after the stereo from thinks. So obviously that was one of the reasons that we decided to not. Because they were concerned about just how that rain would be. In Leeds Alex Hamilton who have just. On Facebook just post a little video is absolutely hammering down that that's the direction it went says it absolutely and in fact I've also had some pretty spectacular. Under storms tonight that yellow weather warning from the Met Office for thunderstorms in our patch is still in place and will continue to be in place until around midnight now all that means is that the convection all circumstances are right for thunderstorms to develop but at the moment it looks as though they are mostly missing Whaley Bridge and it should stay reasonably dry however by the time we get to around quarter to midnight midnight ish there will be a few showers starting to develop around the way the bridge area at the moment it doesn't look as though those will be too heavy but still worth bearing in mind with the ongoing situation that after those have moved through it will be drawing for a time but then in the early hours we've got a frontal system moving in from the west now that is becoming more patchy the further east gets However that could bring a few spells of heavy rain overnight we'll have to stay tuned to the forecast to see how the situation develops you can expect those tonight around 12 degrees Celsius Now tomorrow is that frontal system moves through it will be a wet and a cloudy start to the day with a few outbreaks of rain and also the odd heavy a shower in later on in the afternoon though the rain in the clouds will clear over to be a system that will leave things drier and brighter to close the day with highs of 21 degrees Celsius it does look like an unsettled week ahead to those so from the point of view of the ongoing situation at Wadebridge it is worth staying change to the forecast as low pressure really takes charge of the weather scattered showers are expected with some longer outbreaks of rain on Tuesday that will be accompanied by a fresh breeze and highs of around 21 degrees Celsius a few of those showers may turn heavy in the afternoon and then on Wednesday you can expect more widespread showers a few turning heavy and possibly thundering now some showers will linger overnight into Thursday but the good news is by the time we get to Thursday afternoon particularly things looking dry and brighter with some longer sunny spells and. Highs of around $22.00 degrees Celsius and obviously last week we had those horrendous downpours didn't we which did affect you know the sort of Stockport Bramble points and obviously in the end where you bridge a reboots tonight it's affecting Leeds are no further south a year experience today as well I suppose it's just those that we want to try and avoid isn't it in the next few days absolutely So it looks as though the bulk of those thundery showers have moved away to the north and east missing most of the South languishes South Yorkshire and North Star the sheer area the conditions are still right for the odd bit of convection to spark off another shower at the moment it doesn't look as though those showers will be too heavy and they are most likely around midnight then they'll be a bit of a pause and then the frontal system will start to move in from the west but the good news is it's fragmenting the further east it gets the bad news is it is still on the way so there will be the possibility of some more rain over the course of the early hours going into the 1st part of tomorrow morning would just be not quite nice for summer to return wouldn't it. Absolutely but through the next few days is looking as I will be fairly warm with highs around $21.00 degrees Celsius and whilst there is the chance of mole thundery showers a bit of a fresh breeze at times particularly on Thursday things are looking dry it with some longest sunny spells so it's not that summer is a complete washout but for the next few days you can expect more unsettled weather with a breeze and a chance of some more sundry shallots Alex thank you for that 1030 the time on B.B.C. Radio Radio Radio Sheffield we're going to play the Beatles and this is Strawberry Fields Forever. Let me take you. In. A. Strong. Let me say. B.B.C. Radio. B.B.C. Radio. It's nice to be on my old stomping ground all B.B.C. Radio. And I left it was about 2013 seems a long time ago now. He was asking about jail Jackson you used the present unforgettable B.B.C. Radio he's fine he's probably got a speech about. I'm actually listening at the moment a quick reminder that all the programs on our 3 stations B.B.C. Radio Sheffield usually has Steve White at this time he'll be back next week as will Graeme Torrington on B.B.C. Radio Darby and General Jackson on B.B.C. Radio much to we've just got this special Wally bridge special which we're bringing you between now and midnight and we'll continue our coverage after 12 and then when you wake up in the morning your breakfast program will have all the details of what's happened overnight and the very latest information from there I've also had quite a few requests for if you would like to volunteer or if you'd like to help a lot of people been in touch tonight just saying that they're listening they've been inspired by the residents but actually is the very much they can do especially when you hear stories like the one that we just heard from Liam when he was talking to that young lady who got a certain run out of clothes didn't really know where to turn so obviously help is needed especially as those residents will probably still be out there houses certainly until the end of the weeks if you would like to help there is a volunteer helpline which is over 16 to 95 double 3190 that's 016295 double 3190 there's also an e-mail address which is emergency dot planning. Of dots U.K. That's emergency planning Darbyshire dot gov dot U.K. If you would like to volunteer we've got all those details if you'd like to get in touch with us also of course plenty of social media around where you bridge an incredible amount of photos which have come from that area and I'm just looking at some of them now there is one which resonates and I think this goes to show just how appreciative everybody is of the services that the emergency services but also of course those that are currently working on the dam are doing is just nailed to a fence and it just says thank you for all your hard work and a couple of cases and a couple of smiley faces which goes to show kind of everybody so appreciative of the work that is being done there 25 minutes away from an 11 this is your many days Camillo the bailout the new leader. This is a. Truly. Suffer Sure Mendez and Camilla Cabello and Senorita 22 minutes away from 11 so have been with you since 6 o'clock this evening heard from some incredible people over the course of the last 4 and a half hours everything from people who've already sleeping evacuated from their home where they've gone to we heard a little bit from the emergency services a little bit earlier also we brought you the very latest from the Darbyshire police talking about those people that decided to remain behind at Weena Curry joined us a little bit earlier she lives just by the dam and she talks about her memories of it and also the effects on the neighborhood we've also been speaking to the reverend Margaret Jones who's got 2 churches in Bridge and also I think probably the bits that for me just made me smile tonight it was about the pets because it seems to be as a nation we love our animals don't we you know you don't see cats and we've even heard about hamsters budgies invoice tonight we were talking earlier about a pet service which actually went for the residents to their homes just check that their pets were OK plenty more to come between now and may. Night. Him. Back away with the way with. The street. Harry Potter. The story live from. Next Friday night of a B.B.C. For the latest B.B.C. News from B.B.C. Radio B.B.C. Radio Sheffield B.B.C. Radio on the way at 11 o'clock we're going to talk next. With another story from somebody who's. digital like 18 minutes away from the let the lab it not by the way today is stew it elysees going to take the you believe the non scrape got all repulsion richard stead who's going to be answered about its around while you bridge go to be bring you More stories just checking on the weather conditions overnights incredible actually looking at some of the social media over the last 24 hours and one of the things that maybe you forget is all of these pumps that are currently in operation I'm just looking at some pictures of the firefighters actually having to try and drag them which must be a bit like trying to remove a dead weight across the across the dam and into the water I suppose this is where all that physical training that they do comes in handy but on a day when actually we prayed that there was no rain I suppose the other sites that he says has been extremely clammy and warm hasn't temperatures around 24 to 25 degrees so you can imagine the conditions that those guys have been working in and it's a lovely picture just as the sun was rising this morning as they're trying to again put these pumps into the water to try and drain some of this water away from the reservoir they reckon the 24 pumps instantly have been used they started with 10 they thought that might be adequate but because the the rate of progression was so slow they actually called in other fire services including the Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and they in turn brought their own pumps and that's why at the moment 24 pumps are now working there let's go back to Buxton and Bradford is there for his again this evening he's been talking to some of those who have been evacuated from their homes fortunately they found solace in what sounds like a very nice hotel actually there Liam Yep standing outside the Palace Hotel in books that it's lovely actually all lit up this evening an old Victorian with lice New your lights at the top the. Lights in front of the old wooden revolving doors that go into the ground reception with a staircase that runs up inside it's an absolutely stunning looking building and it is playing a home really to some of the evacuees from Weybridge as well as fire rescue services from across the country as you've been mentioning those 24 pumps that are currently working the high the high volume pumps that are working at the dome including I think it's 12 pumps for around the country. From other fire and rescue services and also pumps that have been gotten by a civil engineering company called done a lot of the groundwork. Laid It's about those pumps work so. Beautiful venue playing host to people that are trying to keep everybody safe which is quite nice if you notice most of the lights in the rooms have gone off now exactly which has been an exhausting few days I'm sure plenty want to get a bit of shit I have been on here this last stragglers of just taking themselves off to bed as it was about 5 or 6 people down here earlier on but I've also that made their way upstairs and I suppose the other thing to bear in mind is that people have what you know Monday morning rolls around quite quickly doesn't it so some of these people even though they're displaced will be heading but so work tomorrow if they've got the it's like got the clouds to be able to do that because of course we have some people that I haven't managed to get parts of the hard left on Thursday night it's interesting you know the way that people operate is obviously being put up in a nice hotel east is all well and good but the bar is Corey expensive and so too is the restaurant so sometimes the only way to deal with those things is to go and find yourself some pizza shop. And is this going to we're going to hear from Joan and Julie Yeah I think. John and Julie were ice so now they finish each other's sentences they're originally from Wakefield West Yorkshire they live in Wylie bridge now and of the shop and they were talking to me earlier on we were sitting on the front of the palace and there was just a smell of Texas barbecue wafting across as he was chairing down with these Sri potato wedges nowhere where this area let's say for most I'm a stew of coffee is full of pizza because it's tea time which is absolutely fine I think it's a Texas barbecue it smells marvelous does good for a very well known pizza Chaves same sort story for yeah I got the knock on the door where enough of us we thought was laid out was a more simple reason place that now out and now we're on the water where the water . Ever say they know which way it's going to go and have it down they go I can still talk you know you've got to come out now so and I was there the 3 o'clock Thursday and I knew about some reckon no no no and then how did how does that feel just so give me an idea of when when you get a police officer knocking on the door and I saying to you out now yeah you can't say they have been with some losers for saying it on the television that life that many of them the right decision Their only thing was you know we're both panic a nation that you know everything get back. Got a car so it got sons or others in their lives now we could look at them we could give you a lift you can hear laughter and then he realized all right. There Secondly when. You go into another job to there's not stopping when he can't rap on the doors even he says to you right now right we worried about this down I don't know I was like want. Right he said just get your medication get your own label on now yeah so we did say you don't want to discount Seamus the artist Don't forget she misunderstood the placement and it caught the same pervasion he said you can't go to a relative's house and I'm thinking he says that he got any relatives to know you still care you've got to go to chapel Oh yeah the told me at the chapel. Register so the know you say you know you're out the house and then you know where those. Number mention that that machine. Is an incredible as much as we made clearly into actors and pop stars politicians sports stars like such I'd much sooner from real people the great they were absolutely brilliant than you and I sat there with a glass of wine and I Jack Daniels once they were chatting to me with that they were absolutely brilliant you had the left finishing go finishing each other that didn't stop for the rest of the evening they continued to finish each other's sentences even after the mark fun stuff. So yeah it was really lovely talking to them and I think they just sort of embody really feeling of everybody which is we're just going to take it in our stride we're just going to keep going to stay positive and every time a fire officer walked past. The table where we were sitting outside this building I said thank you and I just yeah. Yeah we'll talk to you again very shortly and. This evening for. 10 minutes away from 11 this is Sam Smith with Noah. Is. Is. Going to. Split. The screen. 8 minutes away from 11 with some Smith on B.B.C. Radio Manchester B.B.C. Radio Darby and B.B.C. Radio Sheffield Good evening from Phil tribe now the more than 40 soldiers from the Light Dragoons are helping block a critical sluice cage with some bags to prevent more water and doing the damage down don't be sure the cattery base troops are working with the Environment Agency engineers this is to secure a way bridge down which is feared to be at risk of collapse Wing Commander John Cole is John Coles is in charge Good evening to you I get in and thanks so much taking the time to talk to us and I can imagine that this time last week this was. High on the list of things that you were planning to do it's been an extraordinary operation just tell us when you got involved. Myself or my colleagues in the Northwest when coming out and getting older later theming I think just as this was starting to develop in the sort of sort Gale the magnitude of the problem was developing on the dial and engineers realized. Very early on they realised they would need probably the next helicopter as a key piece of equipment a limb nobody else has and so things have developed since then how difficult is it to get hold of a short notice. Actually relatively simple there's always one shrink and Prima on continuous readiness 24 seventh's for years I know you and I have spent. All contingencies just of this so that was the activation on the evening was of using that and then since then we've managed to generate a continuous kind of cult destroyed Fadia using the number that sit there for training for these operations and instead you know obviously believe Bill circumstances has been fascinating actually as a bystander in his view just watching the deeds the pinpoint accuracy with the way that they are dropping these bags on to the down scene credible to watch. Literally the snakes just to gotten we've just put in probably the last plank this evening so all the attributions were on the far side turning up the ball and she said creating the diversion for any more rain we've had in mind very fortunately not had any rain as often and it's all. We're in a complete net gain the pumps are pumping water right in the low levels a lowering so we manage to get the ship back into seeming to just add a few more when it was very much a case of standing on top of the dime erecting near by where the engine is wanted a place each bag but I think the crew have a sort of 4 people on board the communicate to hold the very very precisely with a bit of ground just to kill ation to try and point out exactly where they going and I try to put everybody exactly what engineers wanted extraordinary isn't it so it's not even you know you know using computers that is literally would amount from one person to another yes oh yeah called does have an automatic launch system that assists the pilots but at the same call it in the front will manipulate one of them flying on the controls and then the to recruit one looking down the center lane tach and sexy looking time once and then a chap who's been the dozing has been looking at making chilly across not putting his wheels on top of the bridge and joining in and maintaining clearances and between them they choreograph it which is a skill that all creatures practice non-continuous they to be able to get up pretty quick actress and yet they are the same something that we're doing here all of these operations and tell us about the terms of operational you restricted in terms of the times that you can operate that you need. No So I think we any restrictions on his evening is the amount of time the guys can fly like the fifty's no different from a truck driver having a talk across there's a certain amount of period that people are allowed to operate in a single period but what we wanted to do the most days is generate 3 separate crease or to move effectively covered 8 to 10 hours so that's kind of the 24 hour period the aircraft can fly in the dark in the galleys now all Kerney refueling is started as a beacon you know we coming back initially using night vision goggles so they can see very clearly through this sort of dark. And then come back in just off a few more somber and the next sort of 10 to 15 minutes and then we headed back down south so I've been saving we've seen the whole Philip slowly haven't we I mean as being credible watching the progress and I see how quickly that's hole has filled up I'd just take it through that and then putting some bags on top of those some bags to continue to bridge that and I thought I think we've reached a point now and I've literally just walked away from the engine is to contend that because the water level dropping on the involved the amount the sum in the region of nearly 500 tons the banks put in there then adding in cement around it which they call the granting just factories and securing those in place so I think this test is nigh that actually the dam is relatively stable it's very much a case of something more water arrives and those engineers when it comes 1st light we're going to make another assessment of how successful that's been and you know the military will stand by ready to come back up if required but I think the sense of the moment is it's very much we go through the worst of it and. Gotten it well and it was in the spirit it is a mighty industry to deliver disembarks the guys here with Marcia fill them for the cruise industry have the else working together. Almost seem as happy family and the atmosphere is on fast. Yes I mean is every is working in a single direction it has been incredible has me I think it's one of the things that's come out from this is just how incredible this operation has been and so to be a positive Mr Vice been a privilege for you guys absolutely. You get to operate in Iran and you know we've always been doing things out of sight yet most people that of the pay for us in the taxes that are actually doing something on the number of the crews are actually from this part of the world so it's very very local and then to them and of course when you then come and work among humans you said this is a lot of the industry contract is all of whom this is how you will. Very very close to home it's great to see that MF'er from the villages who continue saying thank you to the guys are working because we're all doing something slightly different I mean a lot of us trained for this in a multi-agency environment as you call it but I think something on this scale I've not seen in my study in the military. Is quite extraordinary isn't it. And it is a logistic feat and we have literally in front of me now a bunch of people laying a road around the outside of a small stage to confront weather and that's been non-continuous I mean some of these chaps have been working since.
