In areas it has ever they might burst its banks and you can see what it has done to this area behind me, this road completely un passable. My correspondent danny savage spent some time today with the rescuers and the residents trying to deal with all of this mess. As floodwaters rose rapidly across the east midlands, derbyshire and yorkshire, a woman died after being swept away in rowsley, near matlock. She went missing in the early hours near here, and her body was recovered from the River Derwent in darley dale this morning. In doncaster, the main river through the town burst its banks and overflowed into nearby streets. Anything and everything was used as a Huge Community effort to save belongings swung into action. Locals are angry and say they werent warned. It has happened down here a couple of times. Weve had no warning from the council or anything. They shouldve been out last night, giving sandbags out, all that sort of stuff, but weve had nothing. Nearby, i met linda. Her home has been flooded before, but the timing now couldnt be worse. Lam here, 26a, the one with the for sale sign in fact, sold, subject to survey. Theyre due to come out on monday to do the survey. Are you worried now this has happened . I am very worried. I doubt anybody is going to want to go ahead and buy this now. From above, the flooding can be seen for miles, from sheffield, through rotherham, and to doncaster and beyond. This is worksop in nottinghamshire, where a wide area was left underwater. This caravan park in doncaster was completely overwhelmed and People Living here were evacuated. Whats happened to your caravan . They are all every one of them is knackered, every one of them is finished. Are you insured . No. Because you cant get insurance . No, im not entitled to it. So youve lost your home . Yeah, oh, aye, yeah, weve lost our home. Its mid afternoon and its started raining heavily again. All this water flowing past us here is the overflow from the river don, and its going straight down this residential street, where the waters getting deeper and deeper. How much warning, if any, did you get . None, as far as im concerned. Just in the space of 20 minutes, it all came and started coming flooding through. The house is wrecked from bottom up carpets, laminates gone, the tvs gone, everything, electrics been cut off. Were hoping to get it sorted. Like, as long as were all out and safe, thats all that matters, really. In mansfield in nottinghamshire, a cliff gave way. The landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated. Transport has been badly disrupted, too, roads and railways closed, stations left as islands. Tonight back in matlock the Prime Minister visited to meet Emergency Service personnel and see some of the damage. In doncaster the rescue boats will be on standby all night, although water levels are slowly dropping. Danny savage, bbc news, southyorkshire. Less tha n less than 50 miles from here is the city of derby where the River Derwent city of derby where the river derwe nt left city of derby where the River Derwent left reached its highest ever level today, and it could get higher tonight. Phil mackie has that story will stop theyve never seen anything like this. Its the highest recorded level for the River Derwent in derby. The floodwaters have begun to inundate parts of the city centre. The derwent still hasnt peaked, but already parts of Derby City Centre are now the river level, and that means as it pours out over its banks, its pouring into streets like this. Around the corner, council warner is a warning local businesses to prepare for the worst. The river levels have risen substantially overnight and during the course of the day, so our absolute priority is safety of our citizens and the people in the city centre. Next to the river in flats which are about to flood, residents are getting ready to leave. It looks like i need to build the ark, basically. Ive had to move my animals two by two, you know . And the rivers been flooding. Ive been here four years and its the first time its really broke its banks. The city centres been at a standstill, and floods have caused chaos on the roads all around it. Getting home has been the priority, no matter how difficult. Phil mackie, bbc news, derby. That was the situation theyre in derbyshire. That was the situation there in derbyshire. Back in 2007 sheffield suffered extensive damage when the river don burst its banks. In the 12 years since, new flood defences have been built to prevent similar problems from happening. This time round, those flood defences seem to have worked, but of course memories, painful memories, of what happened i2 course memories, painful memories, of what happened 12 years ago have come flooding back for so many people in that city. Judith moritz has more. Fast moving and full, but the river don in sheffield has stayed within its banks today. There is huge relief here, because 12 years ago this area was flooded. This is where we keep all the beers. Eds pub was swamped then, and yesterday he was really worried it could happen again. This time there was i would say more water, and the flood defences managed to hold out. Because we have been flooded before, we cant get Flood Insurance now which, when occasions like last night occur, makes me even more nervous. It adds an extra layer to the nightmare. This is what it was like in sheffield in 2007. The Meadowhall Shopping Centre was flooded, the mall inside turned into a lake. What a difference between then and now. In 2007, shoppers had to be evacuated from here and the centre was closed for several days. Whereas last night meadowhall avoided flooding. People were welcomed here as a place of refuge. And today its been business as usual. This video filmed last night shows how close water got to the centre, mostly held back by flood defences. And its thought those made the difference. Part of a scheme costing more than £20 million to protect the city. The defences with the river levels absolutely saved a much wider flood event in sheffield, a much more devastating impact in terms of businesses and properties. As you can see here, this wall is reinforced. But no one can be complacent. Though the river levels were higher than in 2007, the defences will certainly be tested again in future. On this occasion, yes, they have held, but next time, who is to know . Because every event will be different, that is the one thing we do know, as we all know because of Climate Change, we can expect more flooding events which are more severe over time. The river don weaves around sheffield. Thousands of people live and work alongside it, and for them whenever there is a deluge, there is worry about what could happen and hope that the city will stay dry. Judith moritz, bbc news, sheffield. Lets get a Wider Perspective on all of this with our chief environment correspondentjustin rowlatt who is with me. We heard Judith MorrisJudith Moritz talking about 2007 and now we have this in 2019. It seems that these events which are supposed to be once every century are more and more frequent . I spent days with communities affected by the flats, in sheffield and in don cancer. A Little Village called bentley was really ha rd Little Village called bentley was really hard hit by the floods in sheffield and in doncaster. That 2012 flood affected lots of yorkshire including here and the residents around here were told by the Environment Agency then it was a one in 200 year event, and look at this. 12 years on and this time the water levels were a little bit higher. Is that Climate Change . You cannot say with any certainty with a single weather event, but you can say that scientists predict the kind of intense down for that because this flood is likely to become more frequent as our climate continues to change. Thank you, justin rowlatt. Six flood warnings still in place here for the river don but the Environment Agency and officials i was talking to a little earlier on today making it clear the public have to take notice of those flood warnings. They do mean a clear threat to life and that is the danger that still exists in so many parts of Northern England and the midlands. With that, huw, back to you. Clive, many thanks again. Clive myrie with the latest on the floods. Lets look at some of the day pours my other main stories. Lets look at some of the days other main stories. The Scottish National party leader and first minister of scotland Nicola Sturgeon has launched her partys Election Campaign in edinburgh putting brexit and Scottish Independence at the centre of the snps election strategy. She said shed be willing to cooperate with a Labour Government led byJeremy Corbyn. She ruled out a formal coalition, but said she could support labour on a vote by vote basis as long as the Scottish Parliament was granted the right to hold a second independence referendum and given more powers. The first minister has been speakling to our Political Editor laura kuenssberg. She wants two things to stay in the eu. We want scotland to remain inside the eu. But scotland to be out of the uk. It should not be for westminster to decide. But if she worked with Jeremy Corbyn, could this election give the snp both the outcomes they want and change the course of the country for us all . And if there is a Hung Parliament after this election, snp mps would seek to form a Progressive Alliance to lock the tories out of government. To be Crystal Clear about this, if labour was looking to seek a government and they accepted the principle of having another vote on independence in scotland, you would be willing to form an alliance that would put Jeremy Corbyn in downing street . I would never put borisjohnson into downing street. But you would putJeremy Corbyn in . And if people are worried about Jeremy Corbyn, with good reason in many respects, then better to have snp mps in there making sure the right issues are progressed and the right values are protected than having a Jeremy Corbyn government without that influence of the snp. You said this morning that brexit, if it goes forward, means years of wrangling economic uncertainty. Thats exactly the same as it would be if there was another independence referendum, isnt it . It was never inevitable that brexit became the chaotic mess that it has done. You do the work, do the thinking, be honest with people about the trade offs in advance and they did not do the planning for it. 977,000 people voted snp in 2017, but 1,018,000 Million People voted to leave so when you say all the time. Yeah, well. That people will be dragged out of the eu against their will, a million scots voted to leave. I think that a bizarre kind of perversion of democracy. So, yes, youre comparing the referendum result with a general election different turnouts, the first point. The turnout was higher in the eu referendum. Exactly. There was a majority, not a narrow majority. In scotland with the highest remain vote of any part of the uk, so we have to find a way of plotting a course out of it and one fundamentally that allows people in scotland to be in charge of our future and the kind of country we want to be. Labour wont parade it around. Morning. I will get a small cappuccino. But they would contemplate another independence referendum if they needed snp votes to govern. We want scotland to remain part of the union. Were very clear about that and thats why we will not be doing deals. Were in this election to win it. This is absolutely beautiful. Its a gift for the conservatives, certainly. The Prime Minister campaigning in a hospital today, they were already making the claim that labour and the snp were in cahoots. Nicola sturgeon has made Crystal Clear that the price of her support forJeremy Corbyn is making sure that we have two referendums. We know that corbyn is desperate to get into downing street. We know that he will do a deal with the snp. Just as kissing babies is familiar in a campaign, so, too, will be the question of independence in this election. I will vote with and work with other parties on issues where we agree, but when it comes to the snp, they need to drop their obsession, absolute obsession, with independence. Whats more important to you, staying in the eu or scotland becoming an independent country . Both of these things are important to me. If you had to choose . Well, ive campaigned for independence all of my life. Putting the decisions about our future into our own hands, so independence is much more of a fundamental foundation for the kind of country we want to be. But in scotland, its hard to talk about one without talking about the other. Brexit was the reason for this election, yet the future shape of the whole uk is right in the middle. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, edinburgh. As Nicola Sturgeon made clear there the battleground in scotland is markedly different to the rest of the uk. Not only is the snp the Largest Party by far but many of the issues being debated at westminster such as health, education and public spending are controlled by the Scottish Government. Our scotland editor sarah smith has been considering the challenge for the snp in this election. What are the key questions the snp has to answer . What do they mean by, vote snp to escape brexit . The snp are totally opposed to brexit, believing it would be enormously damaging to the economy, in scotland in particular. They want the opportunity to have another referendum on Scottish Independence, and if they won that vote, an independent scotland would hope to rejoin the european union. That could raise issues similar to the arguments about the border on the island of ireland, if scotland was inside the eu and the rest of the uk was not. But when could there be another independence referendum . For that to happen, the Scottish Government needs the permission of the government in westminster. The snp believe theyve already got a mandate for another referendum because they have more than half of the mps in scotland and the Scottish Parliament has already voted in favour of it. Nicola sturgeon wants it to happen before the end of next year. But borisjohnson has completely ruled out allowing another vote for independence, and while labour wouldnt block a referendum, they do say its unnecessary and unwanted. In a Hung Parliament, would the snp support a Coalition Government . The snp say they would never support a tory government. But they also say they would not enter a formal coalition with labour. Instead they want to form a Progressive Alliance, working with other parties where they agree on the issues. Their price would be more powers for the Scottish Parliament. And Nicola Sturgeon says Jeremy Corbyn neednt even bother picking up the phone unless hes prepared to allow a referendum on Scottish Independence. They might be able to strike a deal, if mr corbyn were to agree in principle that it was up to scotland to decide when that vote should happen. Our scotland editor, sarah smith. The Prime Minister has ins
