Good evening. After some of the worst flooding in recent years, residents in parts of Northern England and the midlands are still being rescued from areas inundated with water. Some roads remain impassable and Train Services have been affected throughout the day. There are seven severe flood warnings still in place, meaning a threat to life, on the river don in south yorkshire, which burst its banks. One of the places worst hit is the village of fishlake, where all day rescue teams have been helping evacuate people from their flooded homes. Heres fiona trott. The village residents are leaving behind. The roads in fishlake are like rivers tonight, unless you have a boat the only way to travel is by tractor. At times like these, the local farmers are happy to help out. Its how emergency supplies have been reaching residents, all of them alarmed by how quickly it happened. Ive never seen it like this all my life. Apparently it did flood in 1933 or so. Ive never seen it this bad. Some people here have decided to stay, but for one woman thats not an option. The prospect of being trapped could not be more serious. We only moved in five weeks ago. Im waiting for a transplant. 13 miles away in bentley, residents are counting the cost of the clear up. All this has got to be replaced. Diane cordons family were flooded in 2007 and couldnt afford new insurance. They say they want help and the council isnt providing it. As soon as possible, we need skips. They say that the wagons cannot go through because of the water. Cars are managing to get through, as you can see, so can a wagon with a skip on the back of it. What are we supposed to do with this . Get on with it . Leave you to it . What are we supposed to do with all this rancid, smelly, contaminated stuff . Doncaster council has described the situation as highly complex and says its been very difficult to predict and control future events. In derbyshire, matlock has been one of the worst affected areas there. The woman who died after being caught in floodwater near darley dale has today been named as the former high sheriff annie hall. Shes been described as a great leader who will be hugely missed. It will be weeks before this village and others like it reach some kind of normality. In the meantime, the government says its launched an Emergency Fund so local authorities can help safeguard peoples lives and property. This is the village of stainforth, just a mile away from fishlake, and the police are going to stay here throughout the night. Theyve got to stop people from crossing that bridge. The river don is a tidal river and it remains dangerously high. Fiona trott, bbc news, doncaster. Its been a busy day on the Election Campaign trail, with the main parties unveiling new policy pledges. The conservatives have announced plans to train more gps, while labour and the liberal democrats are focussing on more support for childcare. Heres our political correspondent, iain watson. Its enough to raise your blood pressure. You know what its like. Try to get a non urgent appointment with your doctor and you can wait days, sometimes well over a week. Today, the conservatives promised an injection of more gps into the Health Service in england by 2025. The package will deliver 6000 more doctors in primary care and that will lead to 50 million more appointments. I know how frustrating it is when you cant get a gp appointment fast enough. But hang on a minute what happened to the 5000 gps the conservatives promised at the 2015 election . That target hasnt been reached. The reality will be seeing these delivered on. Whichever government we have in a few weeks time, we need them to recognise the stressed state of general practice and we need them to recognise that these promises are solid and should be delivered on, but they should be delivered swiftly. Labour were focusing today on childcare rather than health care. At a childrens art project in leedsjeremy corbyn said plans had been drawn up for 1000 more preschool sure start centres. He says hell tell us how hell pay for this later in the campaign. We are determined to open Childrens Centres so that sure start can be a reality, as it was in the past for so many of our children. All our funding commitments will be clearly there in the grey book that will be published alongside our manifesto. Not to be outdone, at a rally in london the lib dem leader had her own offer on childcare. A liberal democrat government will provide working parents with free, high Quality Childcare from when their child is nine months old until their first day at school. Theres not been too much talk of the b word from the politicians today. Although stop brexit is part of the official Lib Dem Campaign slogan, jo swinson has tried to convince us and, indeed, some of her own Party Members that she has a much broader agenda. Usually at elections politicians never miss the opportunity to kiss a baby. Today, though, its the parents who are being love bombed but high Quality Childcare does not come cheap. Certainly whoever is in power will have a struggle between making sure the funding rate is high enough that providers can deliver the high quality care that they want to, but at the same time keeping control of the overall cost. Theres clearly an appetite for policies other than brexit on the political menu. Today, there was plenty of sweeteners for the voters. But theres still no such thing as a free lunch. So spending pledges from all the parties today, but tomorrow, the conservatives are really going to attack labours plans. They are, yes, sajid javid, the chancellor, is going to say the labour plans will amount to an extra trillion pounds of spending over the next five yea rs, of spending over the next five years, a huge figure in his view. What are you saying comes from a document which is political rather than financial because the Civil Service has declined to do any official costings of labours programme. Effectively what hes arguing is although he is relaxing his own fiscal rules, the conservatives are ready to spend more, that labours plans are not only more ambitious but not affordable but in that document they are making assumptions that for example are making assumptions that for exa m ple every are making assumptions that for example every single policy passed by labours conference is going to be something which they implement. In fact next week senior figures in the labour party are going to discuss which of these policies actually make it into the manifesto, so actually make it into the manifesto, so the conservatives arent costing the labour manifesto. We still dont know exactly what labours programme is before they begin to cost it. Also the conservatives are not coming up with net costs either, not looking at how much revenue labour would necessarily bring in and i think in the end billions, trillions, whatever, people will make a decision based on who they trust to run the economy. Iain watson, thank you. Ceremonies have been taking place in germany, to mark thirty years since the fall of the berlin wall, a potent symbol of the cold war divide, between east and west. Jenny hill reports from berlin. This city set the world alight 30 years ago. Tonight, berlin is still on fire. Cheering. The wall was loathed, feared, resisted. In the end, it couldnt hold them back. Cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. I remember also when we could go to the west part, the smelling. I will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell, i never had before. In 1961, the world looked on as brick by brick east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west, trapped in an oppressive communist regime. Monika was among them. The wall, she told us, tore her family apart. She never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. By the time the wall fell, he was dead. Angela merkel, leading commemorations today, also grew up behind the iron curtain. It shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls. But even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. The revolution was astonishingly bloodless. This, many declared, the birth of a new world order, one which some warn is at risk today. Translation the values upon which europe is founded freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights they absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. For germany, this is a bittersweet day. A commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. But tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. Jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. Now, with all the days sport, heres holly hamilton, at the bbc sport centre. Good evening. Wembley stadium set a new attendance record for an england womens game tonight but a last minute goal saw the lionesses lose 2 1 in their friendly with germany leaving phil nevilles side with just one win in their last seven games.

A sold out game and an expectant crowd. However, an early goal from game and an expectant crowd. However, an early goalfrom germany captain Alexandra Popp threatened to dampen spirits.

Ellen white, brilliant finish. Step ellen white, back from injury and back on the scoresheet. The world cups joint top scorer picking up where she left off. A cheer from picking up where she left off. A cheerfrom more picking up where she left off. A cheer from more than 77,000 fans. A new record for an england womens Football Game in this country but with a draw on the horizon germany scored a late winner, leaving england crushed and with just one win in seven. 0ff england crushed and with just one win in seven. Off the pitch this match certainly delivered, although the 77,000 fans braving the wet weather to come and watch england play. On the pitch however it was another lacking performance from the lionesses and questions will be asked about the direction of this tea m asked about the direction of this team moving forward. Jo currie, bbc news, wembley. On to the premier league. Match of the day follows the news but here are the results if you want them. 0therwise look away now.
