you're up to date, matthew. olly foster will be here with sportsday at 6:30pm. thanks so much. three people have died in storm babet. the latest act was in structure. the storm is bringing winds of 70 mph, torrential rain and heavy flooding. it drew a rare red leather warning, meaning a second red warning is in place for parts of scotland tomorrow. fiona lamdin reports from brechin, north of dundee, where people had to leave their homes because of flooding. in the dark, they hadn't realised just how deep it was. the south esk river burst its banks in brechin around 4.00 in the morning. 70—year—old muriel has lived here for 20 years. last night, she was adamant she wasn't leaving. i heard the water in the garage of our house, and this is how close we've got to escaping in our car, which is a hybrid, but we thought for a horrible moment we were trapped in it, because we couldn't get the doors open. we feel rescued now. david and isla and their beloved spaniels were sheltering in their attic before help came. we all came out through the bedroom window. i've been up in the attic since five o'clock, basically, since the water started coming into the house. this is still very much an ongoing operation. these teams have so far rescued around about 50 residents this morning. no—one knows for sure how long this water will remain here, but it is thought it might stay flooded for the next couple of days. and listen to this. just a0 miles up north in aberdeen, winds of up to 70mph. along the coast, these homes were submerged and damaged. yesterday, the body of a 57—year—old woman was rescued from a river in angus. within the last hour, police have confirmed the death some parts of scotland have now been issued a new red danger to life weather warning for tomorrow. but for today it has been downgraded to amber as it travels south. parts of northern england at the midlands are now bracing themselves for what is to come. fiona lamdin, bbc news. live now to liz roberts

huge conservative majorities in the previously safe tory seats of mid bedfordshire and tamworth in staffordshire. in tamworth, the labour candidate sarah edwards won the seat with 11,719 votes. it gives the party a majority of 1,316 votes. this means the swing from the conservatives to labour was 23.9%. and in mid bedfordshire, the labour candidate alistair strathern won the seat with 13,872 votes. it gives the party a majority of 1,192 votes. this means the swing from the conservatives to labour was 20.5%. the conservatives blamed low turnout, saying their voters stayed at home. our political correspondent iain watson reports. two previously tory seats, two big wins for labour. keir starmer has been to visit both, with big swings for his party from the conservatives in tamworth, but his first stop this morning was to celebrate his close victory in mid bedfordshire. we know that voters here have voted for us and they have put their trust and the confidence in a changed labour party, and we will repay them for that trust and confidence. we do so humbly. there's no wonder keir starmer is looking so pleased with himself. before polling day, campaigners here told me that it would be between a conservative hold and a historic labour victory, but now his party has overturned the biggest numerical majority at a by—election ever and in a seat which has been conservative since before the second world war. at this coffee morning, some voters did they had an appetite for change. i voted conservative last time because that is the way things were going. but now it is a time for change, definitely it is. i am not too keen on keir starmer. some other voters were shopping around for alternatives to the conservatives as well. they said the track record for the former mp who had resigned when she didn't get a peerage had been a line of attack for labour. we voted against nadine dorries, we want a fresh start again, because nadine dorries was absent. i voted for lib dems, mainly because i wasn't prepared to vote for the conservatives. i sort of wish i now had voted for the labour. why is that? because i think the country is ready for a change. the lib dems fought a robust campaign, increasing their vote and coming a close third. they wanted some credit for the conservatives' defeat. but by potentially eating into conservative support. we have won the support of lifelong conservative voters, particularly the rural villages in mid bedfordshire. that played an instrumental role in defeating the conservatives. i asked keir starmer�*s campaign coordinator if, on reflection, the lib dems had a pan. would you like to give thanks to ed davey? they got the politics, the policies wrong, this entire campaign wrong. so the idea of the labour party has just scored this incredible victory owing anything to the lib dems is fanciful. although mid beds was a spectacular win, tamworth is more significant for labour and could suggest that it was a move back to when they voted for tony blair. but never mind brexit. the defeated conservative candidate made a hasty exit while government ministers blamed many of their traditional voters hadn't turned up at all. people stayed at home, and what people want is for us to focus on the five priorities we have to deliver. we still have to demonstrate to them it is worth getting out of their house and voting conservative like they usually do. the conservatives believe they will have a narrow path to victory at the general election, but it now feels a bit more like a tightrope. the truth is two by—election results, both of them extremely bad news for the conservatives. whatever criteria you use, they are up there, very clearly, in the top ten of worst conservative performances against the labour party. by—elections often attract a protest vote, but what is bound to worry conservative mps is that labour have just won two seats that looked so safe and so solid until yesterday. let's spend the next few minutes... live now to archie mitchell, political correspondent at the independent. welcome to the programme. your headline thoughts after these two results? it headline thoughts after these two results? , ., , results? it is quite remarkable. i was in mid _ results? it is quite remarkable. i was in mid bedfordshire - results? it is quite remarkable. i l was in mid bedfordshire overnight and i think that was genuinely a surprise. labourwere and i think that was genuinely a surprise. labour were feeling very, very good about tamworth in the run—up to both by elections, simply because thou is a trade dogfight between labour and the conservatives, whereas in mid bedfordshire, even voters did not quite know who to go for between labour and the lib dems if they were tactically voting against the conservatives, but it all changed around one o'clock in the morning when a lib dem official came into the meeting room and said, we think labour have tempted and claim the lib dems had helped them over the line there are usually —— over the line. there were the usual caveats about by elections, rishi sunak talking about local factors at play, but the results were worse than the national polls we have had for some while. the worry for government will be this somehow demonstrates the public has reached a tipping point and you do get tipping point in politics, don't you, at certain junctures? certainly. i think that one of the things that has been interesting is the comparisons between now and 1996, running up into the 1997 election. there has been a lot of copy outing of the sort of low turnout from the conservative site or lack of enthusiasm for keir starmer, but there's been an interesting clip floating around from 1986, when the conservatives lost quite heavily, it was young john sipple asking about the results, and he said, there was no enthusiasm for tony blair and the reaction would be, look what happened next —— a young jon sopel. in terms of how the conservative approach it, we have heard the two different strands of the party, the liberal wing, the rate, very different ways of approaching results like this. how much of the problem is that, how they respond? i problem is that, how they respond? i think it is very interesting. you have people on the right calling for rishi sunak to go further on things like net zero and crackdown on immigration. some people in the muttering of the party who say that is why there in the situation. one said one of the facts at play was the tories have vacated the centre ground of british politics, so i think perhaps things on the right of the tory party might think that is the tory party might think that is the way to go, and it might well be correct, but i think labour would probably not mind if the tories used this result to draw that conclusion. you heard about the tory party chair talking about people staying at home. what does the tape at the recent tory party conference, the pivot on hs2, net zero, the drivers alliance, whether that landed? alliance, whether that landed ? completely. the alliance, whether that landed? completely. the tory conference was a great opportunity for people to set out his stall and he pushed himself as the change candidate, which i think raised questions at the time, but now this is evidence that voters had their say on whether they believe that, and perhaps maybe he was right that people did want change, but i think when you see 20 plus percent swings in mid bedfordshire and tamworth, it seems like they don't quite think you might be the change candidate he has pegged himself to be. ads, might be the change candidate he has pegged himself to be.— pegged himself to be. a final thou~ht, pegged himself to be. a final thought, then. _

all about discipline, the drive towards next election and they are taking this as an opportunity to kind of gains momentum and launch themselves towards the next election and set out there stall to voters, but, yeah, certainly, one of the things the party as they are not complacent about this at all. archie, we will leave it there. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. thanks for your time. let's returned to the war in israel and gaza. this week, the head of one of the uk's intelligence services m15 warned there was a risk the israel gaza war could fuel radicalisation, saying people often drew inspiration from their understanding of what was happening in other countries. earlier, i spoke to nick aldworth, the former national counter terrorism coordinatorfor the uk's protect and prepare strategy, he wrote an article, that he had been sickened on multiple levels by the hamas attacks and explain to the room more to me. versavel, the abhorrence of a terror attack on our screens... —— first of all. somebody who has good friends in the jewish all. somebody who has good friends in thejewish community and talking to them, adjusting the realisation on their faces, the day—to—day hatred

about to be amplified tenfold or more, was just a really sad thing to see, but the thing that concerns me most is there is a real residence at the moment with what we saw from any 14 the moment with what we saw from any 1a onwards, when the so—called islamic state started to project his message beyond the boundaries of its so—called caliphate —— from 2014. we have seen it already, with hamas using digital platforms to project images and project messages and project rallying cries to its followers around the world, to rise up followers around the world, to rise up or conduct attacks inside

for the most abhorrent messages about beheadings and public violence, so i do not and we are very far away from some the awful happening. we know that these people sit at home in their own homes and radicalise themselves online, out of sight of the security services, and there were not have been a statement if there was not a reality to that statement and the colleagues inside m15 any other

monitoring. there is a lesser, sorry, greater cohort of 2500 connected to those individuals in some way or who have some belief that they are at a further stage of radicalisation and those are hard to

which is made that is still stuck on the border, waiting to get in from egypt into gaza. let me show you some of the recent pictures, so many lorries just waiting there. we've heard from a variety of aid agencies about what is on those trucks, but they are desperate to get it in. the un secretary—general talking about it being the difference between life and death, but no movement today, the latest from israeli officials suggesting perhaps it might happen tomorrow, but the urgency absolutely has been laid out by so many different aid agencies, one describing the hellhole that gaza is at the moment, with the lack of food, water and power. but as i say, we are coming to the end of the programme. thanks so much for watching us here on verified live and to see you next time. bye—bye. hello. storm babet continues to batter the uk. now we've seen some large waves pummeling the coastline of the north sea. this was south shields. the winds have been gusting around 60 miles an hour at times around the north sea coasts. and of course, flooding has been the other major concern, particularly so in parts of scotland, where we still have five severe flood warnings in force along stretches of both the north and the south esk. as well as these five severe flood warnings, we also have 16 flood warnings elsewhere in scotland, another five for wales and 189 for england. a large chunk of those are affecting the midlands, where we've also seen disruption to transport and some schools have been shut too. today's weather warnings, then — the amber warnings stretch from the north midlands up to the scottish borders. they'll be joined by further weather warnings in scotland overnight. and notice another top level red weather warning. well, these warnings for scotland stay in force for tomorrow as well. another 70 to 100 millimetres of rain in angus and aberdeenshire in this red warning. that means we are likely to see some further severe flooding. now during this evening and overnight, the heaviest rain will be probably to the eastern side of the pennines for the most part, some very wet weather here with the risk of some flooding building in. but overnight, the rain will move back in across scotland, hence that renewed amber and red weather warning area, where we are going to see some further impacts. for saturday, we'll start to see something of an improvement in the weather across the midlands and eventually northeast england too. but some of the rivers across this part of the world can take quite a long time to respond. so even once it's stopped raining, the flooding could still get worse before it gets betterfor some. and all the while, the rain continues to pour down across eastern areas of scotland with those amber and red weather warnings remaining in force throughout the day. now, there is something of an improvement in the weather on sunday, many of us will have a dry day with a bit more in the way of sunshine around. flooding, though, could still be a concern, even if it's not raining where you are. as i say, some of those rivers can take a little while to crest, temperatures about 12—15 degrees celsius. what we really need is a long spell of dry weather after that. it's not what we're going to get. however, next week we've got further areas of low pressure, bringing further zones of heavy rain. that's not going to be great news. today at six, rising flood waters cause chaos across large parts of the uk. three people have died, and another �*danger to life' warning has been issued for the north—east of scotland from tonight. the wet and gusty conditions caused a plane to skid off the runway as it came in to land at leeds bradford airport. we'll be live with our correspondents across the country reporting on the chaos caused by storm babet. our other main story — labour says the country's crying out for change as they win two by—elections on once solidity safe conservative seats. sir keir starmer celebrates in tamworth where a 19,000 tory majority was overturned. in mid bedfordshire, it was 24,000. people are fed up to the back teeth with 13 years of decline under this government. they want a fresh start, they want to go forward, a positive case with a changed labour party. as israeli air strikes continue on gaza, there's still no sign about when aid will be allowed in. we are live injerusalem with two reports on the ground in gaza and we will assess how the war is affecting israelis. and, ooh—ah, he plays guitar — eric cantona reinvents himself as a musician.
