Storm gerrit has been sweeping across the uk, bringing high winds and heavy rain. About 20,000 homes are still without power in Northern Scotland. 0n the roads, trains, ferries and at airports, people are facing delays and hazardous conditions. Shiona mccallum reports. As you can see, we are stuck on the a9, just south of dalwhinnie. Thick snow and ice took grip of the a9, the main trunk road between perth and the highlands. A Major Incident was declared. Richard was at a standstill with his wife and daughter for over six hours, trying to get home to bristol after christmas. So, when we set off from loch laggan, It Wasjust Raining and the snow was actually melting away, it seemed to be all right. And then as soon as we got to dalwhinnie, itjust was a complete white out. The skies opened and, within minutes, it wasjust complete white out. The traffic had come to an absolute halt and we were going nowhere. Away from the white out, and it was the rain that was causing problems in cupar in fife. Some residents had to be rescued from their homes after severe flooding in the town. Specialist boats were brought in to help. Woke up and i could hear some rustling noises and i looked out and there was two to three feet of water, up to my bed. Im thinking most things in the lounge will be gone. So obviously, not what you want to wake up to just after christmas. In aberdeenshire and angus, there were major power outages. Winds reached over 85 miles an hour in some parts. Across scotland, thousands of people are still without power, with more rural areas being warned it could take 48 hours to restore. It is too early at the moment to say exactly when everyone will be reconnected, but for those especially in rural places, you should be expecting to be without power for some time because of the damage caused and the access challenges our engineers are facing. Trains were hit too. Not only were Services Cancelled but some passengers were stuck on board for hours. In bowling, the line remains blocked by flood water and there was a landslip between cupar and leuchars. The Operating Companies are still working out there, they work 24 7 if they have to, to try and get these roads open as soon and as safely as possible. Two top flight Football Games were postponed, including ross countys trip to ibrox. Flood warnings will continue into tomorrow and rail inspections for damage will need to be done, so people can expect more disruption. The United States top diplomat, antony blinken, is holding talks with the mexican president on how to deal with a surge in the number of migrants trying to reach the United States. Mr blinken is being accompanied by the us Homeland Security secretary for the meeting with president Lopez 0brador in mexico city. The meeting takes place amid a reported new influx of migrants, estimated at around 6,000, who are walking through mexico from tapachula to the us border. At stake for mr blinken� s boss, president joe biden, is securing some means of easing the wave of immigrants trying to cross the us Southern Border that is now receiving calls from both democrats and republicans for practical solutions. Live now to our mexico correspondent will grant, whos in mexico city. Well, so the pressure has been growing on the white house, but how likely is it that they can actually come up with a practical solution, especially when president 0brador is not seeking Reelection Injune . Yeah, make no mistake, these are crisis toxin in essence. Crisis talks. Somewhere in the region 10,000 undocumented migrants a day have been detained in the us during certain points of december. He mentioned the caravan making its way north from tampa chula on the border with guatemala, hoping to make it to the United States, that always burns a lot of media and political attention on the question of migration tapachula. And now, in christmas week, between christmas and new year, this high level meeting, that is very, very unusual. You are right also to point out that president Lopez 0brador is not a power next year, but it is very, very likely his party will be. In these situations it is always good to find Common Ground commanding the mexican president wants from this discussion is more commitment by the United States to these talk to cuba, to talk to venezuela about migration and about how to stem of those leaving, perhaps by lifting of aid or sanctions Development Aid or lifting of sanctions. Mit . Or sanctions Development Aid or lifting of sanctions. Lifting of sanctions. Why has there been this surging lifting of sanctions. Why has there been this surging the lifting of sanctions.

You have to do it. Lets look at those countries of origin. I mentioned venezuela and cuba. El salvador has traditionally been a problem, there is a much better Security Situation there at the moment, but elsewhere in central america, things are mean very, very bleak. Economic circumstances for 2024 very, very bleak across the region, so their push factors in their pull factors in all of this. And you told us what mexico is hoping to get from the us, but as the United States head into the president ial election year, what is washington seeking from mexico . Essentially, they call it contention strategies. What that means is containment as far as i can see. Basically a commitment by the administration and no doubt the one that follows it to remove people who are not on mexican soil with the right papers, to detain them if need be, to listen to their assigned him requests about to provide Asylum Opportunities in mexico if there is Strong Enough reason to provide asylum, but not essentially to allow them to continue the Journey North and make it to the us also that will be very, very difficult to stem, bearing in mind that so many of these families, so minis of the children and pregnant mothers and so on, are heading towards family already in the United States so many of the.

I think it is good feature so highly on the list of priorities, the list of things that come up in debates between the two main president ial candidates in the us, it wont go away as an issue for the candidates here in mexico either, so, look, it is going to remain a political football.

Adam fleming looks back at his life. He was the architect of modern europe. In the \ufffd 80s and \ufffd 90s, the president of the European Commission<\/a> thought the eu should come more closely together, socially, economically and politically. Some british conservatives reacted in horror. No no, no born to a working class, devoutly catholic family, Jacques Delors<\/a> first became a banker.

Storm gerrit has certainly made its presence felt across the uk with a combination of significant snow, flooding, rain and some exceptionally strong winds. Just a selection of the gusts recorded during wednesday and on into the evening. Wind gusts of close to 90 Miles Per Hour<\/a> in the northern isles. Now on the satellite picture, this storm looks beautiful this swirl of cloud here. The main body of the wet and windy weather is now sliding away north eastwards, up towards scandinavia, but low pressure is still firmly in charge. Lots of isobars on this chart. That means it is going to stay windy for many of us during thursday and there will be lots of showers. Those showers heavy, possibly thundery, wintry over hills in the north of the uk. Across england, wales and Northern Ireland<\/a>, some very gusty winds, gusting to 40, 50, maybe 60 Miles Per Hour<\/a> around some irish sea coasts, but certainly not as windy as it has been across scotland. Temperature wise, well, five or six degrees in the north of scotland, 12 or 13 in south wales and southern england. And then as we head through thursday night, there will be further showers or longer spells of rain. Still some wintry showers mixing in across the northern half of the uk with this Northerly Wind Kicking<\/a> in. That will bring a somewhat chillier feel. In fact, i think well see quite a lot of rain, sleet and snow developing in Northern Scotland<\/a> by the start of friday morning. That is a sign of things to come. Well see this showery and at times wintry weather continuing to affect northern parts of scotland with a strong northerly wind. Pretty windy in other areas as well. A band of showers across Northern Ireland<\/a> into Northern England<\/a>, something wintry mixing in here over higher ground. Sunshine and showers further south. A slightly chillier feel to the weather on friday. And then into saturday, here comes our next weather system. Some heavy rain in places where we really do not need it. Some snow developing over high ground in Northern England<\/a> and scotland. We could see some snow to quite low levels for a time in scotland. 5 degrees for aberdeen, 12 degrees for plymouth. And so low pressure will be firmly in charge of our weather as we head towards the end of the year, towards the new years eve celebrations. In fact, this low could well bring another bout of very windy weather indeed. So this is the forecast through new years eve and into new years day. It looks quite unsettled. This is bbc news. Well have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. Thai women are sold a dream online. The message is, marry a foreign man and you will have a good life. Many couples of course remain happy, but the dark reality of others isnt talked about in my community. In this isolated part of england, the body of a thai woman was found. 20 years on, her family is still seeking answers and justice. She died not long after i moved to the uk. Her death has always haunted me.
