Kathryn stan sheshan, bbc news. 0ur correspondent phil mackie is in Upton Upon Severn what you can just say now they close the bridge, the main route here, because here you can see how high the floodwater has reached. People here ive now stated trying to get across the river. Towards the river itself, a lot of people here are protected by that flooded the area you see in the distance. You can actually see the river through those glass panels. For ease of flood defences were built after they record slides and 2007. They were designed to withstand what they described as a 100 sled event. Now we have that 100 sled event and we had reached the same level it did then. The warning is now there is a severe Flood Warning and put in place by the Environment Agency that it could over top of these defences tonight. If you look a long history, you can tonight. If you look a long history, you can see tonight. If you look a long history, you can see people who are working the pumps around here, at the kings head and back beyond that the sled will cease to slide a lot. Since the defences had been built they were protected. Now i have to get sandbags out because they feared that. We are going to see these flood defences over top at some stage overnight and into tomorrow without river reaching record levels. Probably higher than 1947 as well. One of the things as we are talking to colleagues in areas where they havent had the preventative measures that you select bear. That is unerringly stark illustration that you get a spare at the levels against a stare at the levels against a stare at the levels against the new barrier. Whats notable about this is that this is happening in a place which has an investment precisely for these things. They built a new causeway beyond the praise there that cost about £6 million. That is now closed. The water has come over that too. It was built to withstand what they described the 100 year flood event. Just like these defences here. It doesnt look like they will be good enough. There had been winter flats here this year, the First Time Since 1899. Winter flat fees and, at four at the worst has been since 2000. People who say Climate Change is deftly because of the problem, this is for sedan. The problem is along here there is a villagejust at problem is along here there is a village just at the year that i think that the flood defences, it has gone under again. The sixth or seventh time since 2000. People are com pletely seventh time since 2000. People are completely fed up. And last for defences and gotten them. Its almost like a pdf steven l its going to come didnt know it is going to come didnt know it is going to come didnt know it is going to be terrible and you cant do anything about it. Still think he so do anything about it. Still think he so very much. I really start illustration at the levels of the letter there. Thank you phil. Thank you phil. One area that has been badly hit by flooding is the village of llanhilleth not far from ebbw vale in south east wales. Lisa challengers mother lives on the main street and is among many of residents who have had to leave their homes. Lisa has been helping to collect items of furniture for those who have been hit the hardest. We can speak to lisa now via facetime from llanhilleth. What are things like that is afternoon. It looks better this afternoon. It looks better this afternoon. Everyone is coming to get in. The streets are looking at that cleaner. Yesterday it was quite a challenge. Lisa can use to hear me . Are you still there will try to make contact inafew still there will try to make contact in a few minutes. Im sure when all of the web and stance on tracy, whats happened set second. We are talking in the context had to has appointed brent branch of the sledding. We arejoined now by appointed brent branch of the sledding. We are joined now by that labour in p. Thanks a much are you talking you came out . Talk about the welsh context first. In terms of my ball, and they shadow cabinet, and a shadow cabinet, and educate wide debris. I can talk about newport last. I can talk about newport last. Honestly last. I can talk about newport last. H o nestly we last. I can talk about newport last. Honestly we had not been affected badly as many other places. Especially in wales. Tell us a little about the response at the uk government to this crisis. What do you make it back . I must admit i am disappointed from boys dancing at the moment. I understand he has not been out to visit any of the sites across the uk which is busy planting. I understand that he has not convened a meeting at cobra. That should have done it sooner now. Theyll be people watching for example, he had seen all of these wells and standards, we were talking to the lady in llanhilleth. He laughed at this step has been devolved. Its not all westminster responsibility. Im sure the first minister will be the first to tell you they will in testing many millions of pounds into the flight defences here. I spoke with leslie went the other day and she said be actual, they few last weekend and happy actual where the money is actually going inside that turn off the flight defences. And that is going on. When you look across england as well we are reporting earlier, im wondering what more can, apartfrom earlier, im wondering what more can, apart from instigating what are you calling for more investment, more money being spent . We are talking about a global approach. Not just sit down and talk about it for a few months. We need action now. Whether tree plantings to present that might prevent soil erosion, dredging rivers managing coastal defences, we need to have an integrated fully joint defences, we need to have an integrated fullyjoint plan, we did not have been at the moment. Im guess raising the question about devolved powers, how can you have a joint plan if you had these powers devolved . Aib specific responsibility of the administrations and the different parts of the uk i do not . Obviously in terms of wales Natural Resources wales, they talking very closely with the welsh government. My concern is that overall the uk is in a Climate Emergency now. Therefore although countries need to be talking to each other. Evolution means Different Things differently, different places require different solutions. What we need to make sure is that we are all working together to make sure that we get the best for the uk. Is that youre concerned where we have seen investment already, it could still be the case given Climate Change according to experts, but does not levels at investments on the measures that we Re Investments on the measures that were taken will still be insufficient click yes. People have back have realised how much of an emergency, and how big of an impact this will have on the uk. We had islands and nation. It will make a drastic patient we predict that scientists will say we have a warmer, wetter winters, and warmer and drier summers. There is more of and drier summers. There is more of a risk of runoff in the summer. In terms of where we are not we need to join across the uk, meaning all the countries talking to each other. Also they are hard choices pending.

Two days after the death of Caroline Flack, itvs love island is back on air tonight with a special tribute. And coming up on bbc news. A legend of the game harry gregg, hero of the munich air disaster in 1958, has died aged 87. Coming up on sportsday on bbc news. And getting set for her first competitive match in seven years, but how will former world number one Kim Clijsters cope on her return to tennis . Itv will broadcast love island for the first time tonight since the death of its former presenter Caroline Flack. Itv said the show would feature a tribute to the 40 year old star who was found dead at her home in london on saturday. It comes amid growing criticism of the decision to prosecute her for an alleged assault on her boyfriend even though he said he wanted charges dropped. 0ur media correspondent David Sillito reports. Here comes the flack Caroline Flack, love island, x factor, im a celebrity. Her tv career went back almost 20 years. This tribute on dancing on ice was to both a colleague and friend. Wed like to begin tonights show by taking a moment to remember Caroline Flack, in light of yesterdays awful news. We wanted to say our hearts go out to her family and friends. Many of us here on the show knew caroline as a friend and we will all miss her enormously. As caroline herself recently posted, in a world where you can be anything, be kind. Caroline flack was the face of a show that was all about escapist fun, laced with emotional drama, but now questions are being asked about the pressure she was under. She was facing charges of assaulting her boyfriend. Should that prosecution have been going ahead, given her fragile mental state . Today, a former chief prosecutor said he felt there was probably little choice. Undoubtedly, they felt they had enough. They had i think a 999 call recording. They had Body Worn Camera worn by the police. They would have had medical evidence and other evidence. They have to take Domestic Abuse seriously because we as a country have said we should take Domestic Abuse seriously, when you have three quarters of a million reports to police every year, 75,000 prosecutions, only 10 of those reports end in a prosecution. 120 people are murdered in domestic homicide situations and we keep telling them that if they had intervened earlier, maybe somebody wouldnt have suffered even more serious harm. So they are doing what we asked them to do. The role of the press and social media has also come under scrutiny. A petition calling for action has been signed by more than 200,000 people. Meanwhile, tonight, love island will return to our screens with a tribute. A statement from itv said, many of us knew caroline well and held her in great affection. She will forever be in our hearts. David sillito, bbc news. Lets speak now to professor Vanessa Bettinson professor of criminal law and justice at de montfort university. She also assisted Legal Counsel regarding coercive control in the case of Sally Challen who spent nine years in jail for killing her husband following decades of Emotional Abuse but was released after the charge was reduced to manslaughter. What issues are raised by the case and you view . It does raise an interesting question about prosecution of domestic at kate cases. Particularly Domestic Abuse cases. Particularly Domestic Abuse cases where the meaning directly see people pulling out a not going ahead with their supporting the cases. A bank needs low conviction rate. It also raises questions and allows us to speak a little more about the forms that it can take. In a case of carolina plaque is being criticised at the last few days. Some are better informed than others and not out. When you look at the criticism at the cps and the way pepe decided to prosecute in the case at the boyfriend, despite the fact that he wa nted boyfriend, despite the fact that he wanted the case dropped. Do you think that criticised his fair or not . I think it is not fair in the sense that the mexican pizza such a widespread issue, as cities in our society, we have been wanting for the criminal justice society, we have been wanting for the criminaljustice system to give a better response to the gnostic abuse victims. Should there be victims led evidence based prosecutions, they ideas that can be an effective way of being able to proceed with cases where there is not the backing of the victims. 0ne thing that gets at last is the Prosecution Service does not work on behalf of any one victim or complain that they work on behalf of society. At the wider society. Decision to prosecute these cases it is in part also reflecting the need for us to address sex and society more widely. Notjust a address sex and society more widely. Not just a specific address sex and society more widely. Notjust a specific case at hand. Notjust a specific case at hand. Notjust a specific case at hand. Not just the evidence notjust a specific case at hand. Notjust the evidence fac presented a letter it needs to be deserved to be brought to court they also pass judgement of what the Public Interest is . Yes, to a degree. There is an evidential task, in any case other half if a victim or complain or is not wishing to take part in a trial process, the case can only be brought if there is sufficient based on merits to be brought to court. Second point, there is a Public Interest test and for Public Public treason prosecutions they can only proceed with several factors. In that process is very involved including factors such as this year this batch of the case, Household Items deemed as weapons, the Domestic Abuse it could there also factors such as vulnerability and the victim, not the perpetrator may consider using certain tactics towards the victim. Not necessarily what is taking place in the flap case generally. There are many circumstances. Indeed, one at the end of facts to be the end and fax obedience case generally. There are many circumstances. Indeed, one at the end of facts a bit of vulnerability nobility of the defendant. For the prosecutor to have that information the artifacts will be the vulnerability of the defendant. For the prosecutor to have that information babe would have that information babe would have to be up to them. By the police or by the defence lawyers. It doesnt have a bearing that the situation Domestic Abuse will automatically not followed because the complainant is not wishing to proceed with the child. It is and related case, i miss the samurai case. You need advice. Sally spent nine years injail case. You need advice. Sally spent nine years in jail following case. You need advice. Sally spent nine years injailfollowing decades of the abuse, the charge was reduced to manslaughter, and then she was freed. The very issues you talk about in terms of taking the victims perspective into account, like a factors relating to the victim. As opposed to what the perpetrator dad. How can you explain to viewers, how the cps goes about measuring or accessing that range of factors . Measuring or accessing that range of factors . I think that is a difficult question to a degree there will be an element is a discussion on the pa rt an element is a discussion on the part of the prosecutor. The evidence in front of them, their guidance, there is no one factor that takes greater weight of any other. It is very important to bear in mind that there is a Public Interest in seeing there is a Public Interest in seeing the criminal justice there is a Public Interest in seeing the criminaljustice system respond to Domestic Abuse. From that point of view, the prosecution isntjust working on behalf of one particularly complained to him. It is working towards that wider issue. Very interesting to talk to you.

Some of the valleys are experiencing the highest water levels for some of for 40 years. We went to meet one resident having a look at the optima after the flood. Just have a look at the wall here. You can just see the light of where the water came up during the early hours of yesterday morning. It has desolated this street in this town you can see the wooden floor as well. The wooden flooring has just completely, off the floor from where it has been. And this is carolinejoness house. Caroline, you have been here for seven years, you have spent all that time making it into the home that you have always wanted it to be. And saw it in this state . Well, it is devastating. It is totally. I do not know where to begin. This is my home, this is my pride and joy, ijust dont know where to start and im still traumatised about what happened yesterday. What your plans over the next few days . You obviously havent got anywhere to sleep or anywhere to put your possessions that are safe, have you even had time to think about that . Iamjust taking everything hour by hour. I am waiting for the insurance assessor to come around. I dont know, i stayed last night in hotel. I dont know where im going to stay tonight. Ijust taking everything as it comes. Jeremy parr is the head of flood incident management at Natural Resources wales we can speak to him now via webcam from their headquarters in cardiff. Jamie, thank you very much for joining us. I know it is a very busy time to stop im just wondering, from your point of view, help our viewers with your latest update on the positions as well. The worst of the positions as well. The worst of the impacts were in south wales on the impacts were in south wales on the saturday night through to that sunday morning. It is very connected to the nature of the steep sided catchments because the water goes down very quickly. The worst place for the rainfall in the area was the Brecon Beacons area. This went down the valley into cardiff and was 80 centimetres higher than the previous high level waters that we had in 1979. The situation today, therefore is the longer flowing weathers. The rivers that come off the welsh mountains that we have had to keep a close eye on. These rivers pass into england and then back into wales. Some may have seen the pictures of hereford earlier today with a very high water levels and some flooding u nfortu nately. High water levels and some flooding unfortunately. Our hearts go out to anybody suffering with this and we are keeping a close eye on the as it travels down and it will travel down through the welsh water street to bournemouth. That is what we are keeping our eye on. We are just looking at some pictures of that as he said, jeremy, and it did look very bad. Darren on our weather team is telling us that later this week doesnt look great either, i am just wondering what extent you can clear up wondering what extent you can clear up and you can get together again while you are still expecting some Severe Weather conditions in the next few days. It is very challenging for all of us. In wales we have had storm ciara and have now had stomach and we are keeping a close eye on there and we are working with the Weather Office to keep an eye on that. Storm dennis. That is the kind of work that we are doing at the moment and we are keeping an eye on those forecast and please be aware of the warring warnings as it gets closer. We were looking at the new flood defences earlier. It is said that they are almost certainly to be preached tonight. In a welsh context, are the places that you have investigated in the floods defences have gone on but they will struggle with what they have been dealing with at the moment . struggle with what they have been dealing with at the moment . A lot of the defences that they did it might have gone and have helped to keep the water back, but the defences of harold and the water hasnt gone over the top. There are lots of places where that has been effective and yet unfortunately there are places where it hasnt been effective. With these unprecedented rainfall events that we are seeing and all that, it does add up to a very challenging picture in terms of managing what our colossal amounts of water. There are up to 900 cubic metres a second, that is 900 tonnes of water to try and manage. It is a colossal amount. That is huge. It does really give us an idea of what you are dealing with. Just to look at how the resources are being managed, they are obviously being stretched, do you feel that the resource levels you have sufficient . The it is obviously a matter for the welsh government, but the uk government can play a part as well. What would you say about the resources you have to do with this kind of thing . It is a matter of the government to decide whether budgets go. It is very difficult to decide where the priorities are with education and health care and the like. We have to work with the resources that we have go and do our best and use our professional judgment to apply that and do what we can to manage these risks. Ultimately, it is extremely challenging to manage all risks. You cannot get rid of this totally. It is about Risk Management and looking at what is a high risk and what we can do for those communities and environments. Thank you very much. The French Foreign minister has said he expects the uk and European Union to rip each other apart. The British Government wants to secure an agreement by the end of year, butjean yves le drian has warned that will be difficult to achieve. He made the comments as the uks brexit negotiator david frost prepares to set out borisjohnsons plans for a trade deal with the eu during a speech in brussels later tonight. Translation on trade issues and the mechanism for future relations that we are going to start on, we are going to rip each other apart. But that is part of negotiations. Our correspondent adam fleming is in brussels. Adam, can we unpick what he had to say and what it tells us about the way that these trade talks are being prepared . The first thing to say is that normally on the eu side they try to be a little bit more subtle and diplomatic and a bit less bloodcurdling than the French Foreign minister was yesterday. What is happening at the moment is that in brussels they are trying to come up in brussels they are trying to come up with a monday, a detailed blueprint which we think will be signed off next week, but that is currently being worked on by officials and diplomats. France is the leader of a group of countries that are trying to toughen up that monday and put more restrictions on the uk as the price for the ambitious free trade deal with no ta riffs ambitious free trade deal with no tariffs or quotas on any goods that both sides say they want. What they we re both sides say they want. What they were saying was something that does reflect what the french are doing privately. You have we will have an update on the next week. Some countries are saying that the uk are not prepared to follow eu rules in things like competition law and so some people are saying lets draft this very carefully and keep it as vague as possible so that there is enough space to negotiate properly. That is the message from david moss, the chief brexit negotiator who is in town conducting negotiation behind closed doors. It is behind closed doors, but we have an idea of what he said . I think he will talk quite personally. He used to work here in brussels and he was embarrassed to lima and buster and he has got a lot of experienced. He has got a lot of experienced. He was an ambassador and has got a lot of experience. We think you will talk about it and we will hear more about his personal story. He is going to set out that the uk wants to be treated in the same way that canada was, japan was, or south korea was in trade negotiations with the eu. In the sense that they got big, broad agreement that did not come with big own us conditions with those countries on those countries. We want to we would like to have a fda like other countries have. Fta. The eus response was the uk is much closer than these other countries and so it is not the same. With regard to the trade between the uk and the eu, it will not just be trade between the uk and the eu, it will notjust be a standard deal it will notjust be a standard deal it will have to be something more. Everybody is reading the lines on both sides to see where there is room for manoeuvre. People expect that there is a bit of exaggeration in the opening positions of both sides because that is what you doing negotiation. As he debate, the negotiation. As he debate, the negotiation gets smaller and you end up negotiation gets smaller and you end up with a compromise. We will have to wait and see what is. Thank you very much.
