WEATHER: Flooding continues across northern England

Thousands of people have been forced from their homes, after floods which claimed three lives in the north of England. The hazardous weather conditions have taken a severe toll on parts of Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Shropshire. In Sheffield, where the Meadowhall shopping centre has been forced to close due to major flooding, a huge clear-up operation is under way after more rain fell on the city than since records began 125 years ago, causing the deaths of a teenager and a pensioner. RAF helicopters were scrambled to rescue hundreds of people trapped in factories and offices in the Brightside Lane area. In Rotherham, there are warnings that the walls of a water reservoir are on the verge of collapse. Cllr Roger Stone (Leader, Rotherham Council) interview
