We face today as a country the union Unite says it suspended as strike by workers at Heathrow Airport which was due to take place tomorrow dozens of flights had provisionally been cancelled in anticipation of the walkout talks will continue to try to avert a fair the strike planned for Tuesday and the weather there's a yellow warning for thunderstorms in some areas there's one severe flood warning in 2 flood alerts the Manchester Generally though after some dry spells this evening there will be further outbreaks of rain in many places with cloud they can ink a few heavy bursts of rain a likely again especially after midnight tonight of 11 Celsius B.B.C. News It's 4 minutes past 10. This is still show on B.B.C. Radio Manchester B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and B.B.C. Radio Darby tonight a special program between now and midnight we're following developments at Wally bridge the weather forecast certainly earlier seemed a lot worse than it is at the moment much of the bad weather it looks round about the Leeds area at the moment seems to be really getting the worst of the weather it seems to be bypassing Well you bridge was great news for all those that are trying to put to rights all the wrongs of the last few days of course that hole which is in the dam and then trying actually to reduce the water level in the damaged self is a huge operation and the last thing that they needed was another downpour but obviously we'll monitor that carefully if instantly your tuning in for the usual programs that you get on all 3 stations for unforgettable on B.B.C. Radio Manchester that will be back next week as well Steve White on B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and Graham Tara Torrington B.B.C. Radio Darby In the meantime we're going to be back in Bali bridge in just a couple of moments time to be joined by our reporter Liam Brotherhood who's been there for today we'll catch up with him next on 3 vulnerable. We'll try to be ready to match the B.B.C. Radio Sheffield and B.B.C. Radio Darby been here since 6 this evening just keeping up to date with everything that's happening in bridge just a little update as you heard Michelle saying during the news at 10 o'clock 22 households have refused to leave breach despite being warned that the damage down there is at risk of bird sitting the 31 Wally bridge residents have been urged to leave by police who say they're putting their own lives and the emergency services at risk of around 1500 people have been affected. After part of that dam Richard on Thursday the better news is that the canal and river trust have said that water in the reservoir needed to get down to around 8 metres below the normal level it stood at 3.8 metres below normal and was being lowered by 2 metres every 24 hours have fingers crossed that situation doesn't changed with the weather out so we see something that we're keeping an eye on this evening we'll be talking to Alex Hamilton a little bit later from the Weather Center about the very latest Will Scott reporters who are in Wally bridge and actually have moved on this evening to Books them because Bradford sort of hotel in books and where some of the evacuated residents are staying and obviously it's been a huge operationally and what's the spirit in the mood in there like you know what extremely positive flow it's got we said good evening to you yes I'm at the Palace Hotel in Buxton where some of the evacuees are staying here and split between here in the university dormitories in Bucks them as well. Also I hear a lot of 5.0 I think pretty much the heroes of this whole things we've got to be honest with you can absolutely. Yes spirits very high I think everybody is just as I said to you before taken it in their stride still because what other option of they got their remaining positive they remain in cheerful and I tell you what some of the stories that I've been told over the course of the ceiling about silly things like 2 people decided to go for a pizza early on they went to a local pizza place to pick something up and they had some potato wedges thrown in free of charge because they were from Wally preach I mean it doesn't get much but it doesn't well I would be there with them on that potato be the lovely. I nearly lost To be honest if they'd have offered us not sound off but it would have been a bit rude. And in terms of the people that you've been speaking to what's the reaction of Hugo. Yes the reactions of been excellent of just been speaking to some of the firefights Nazi out front of. Her from London as I wander through the car park I can see vehicles Merseyside the vehicle here from North Wales is a vehicle from West Midlands Forest Service West Yorkshire Fire Rescue Service and I was having a chat with some London firefighters a little bit earlier as part of a toxic Oh you didn't come and offer support and they're going to be here for the foreseeable future as well with a little bit of experience because they were dealing with a reservoir in Croydon a couple of years ago that threatens to sue over talking was threatening around $10000.00 a lot of experience well but it's the residents I think that have really shown 3 for me and a little bit earlier on I caught up with Carla is a resident of Wylie bridge that's been evacuated from her with her one year old boy who went to a friend's house we didn't think that it would be that long and then it got to about 10 o'clock to our side. And found out they had to chop high school so we made our way to high school and then they put us all at the Palace Hotel So it's you your partner I'm just some Yeah one year old son Freddie also Freddie's hair is what I want one adventure for Freddie have and I mean it could it could be worse could I mean you've been put up in a fairly not fairly nice hotel admittedly you'd much rather be right home I guess and yeah definitely Freddy's if he doesn't have his toys to play with and everything and I was retained they'd finally just given us a car so he had been having to stay in the bed with those who know nothing and mostly and honestly has not been able to have proper bottles because we did have so it was really just to give him one and. He's just getting caught bored because obviously we can't take him to many places because taking fire because we don't we don't have his problem and so there's a lot of things obviously that you can. Not been able to go back and collect they did allow residents back into their homes yesterday but you missed the missed the cutoff yeah we missed half hour. Just an hour the person he was going to take was that she just went for a shower and then obviously message me the Congo. It's difficult so how are you dealing with the aegis of having to wait for things to be provided for you or are you having to go out and spend your own cash where obviously they're given as practice in the morning but obviously paid 3 people for lunch and dinner it's taken out you know a lot of cash and you know it's OK by a nice little lot deals and stuff like that but it adds up in the day. And obviously with Freddie we haven't I haven't got a full time job or anything and my partner he stays with them all the time and looks after him so it's not like got the cash to you know go out to spend and then I saw the little things isn't it Liam you just forgets about this tonight and just hearing that story resonates doesn't it you know because he's gone and certain fusion a few days ahead of us she really has just silly things that that she spoke to me about afterwards like that Freddie's one of clean clothes so they've only managed to grab what they were able to grab when they were leaving one unfortunately that the son is now run out of clean clothes so they're having to think about how they're going to get those laundered So they're approaching the hotel to try and help them out with that but yeah it's really difficult I know there was a Facebook post by her family saying that she going or not these and various other bits and pieces and she was saying that somebody in books that the goodness of their own heart went to a shock for what she needed and delivered it so that it's all for which I mean I think if anything appeared Summers is what's happening here is the. Sense of community spirit is very very real it's lovely to. Look into some good exercise and on there we're going to be back with you at that big stone Hotel where some of the evacuated residents are staying a little bit late of the meantime Leon thank you. Quarter past 10 P.C. Radio Manchester Radio Sheffield and radio Darby continuing coverage of what is happening around that area and beyond obviously Liam is in books Tim Wesley Malena has been a bridge for us all not going to let one slip Wesley go in a couple of weeks it's a bit of a dark walk back to where you need to go isn't it Wesley. Yes It speaks a great deal about the exclusion zone and the links you have to go to to get into the bridge and why actually had to do was park the car about 2 miles from here and walk up footpaths up over the top of the hill in order to come back down and look but what I'm looking at now and it is getting really dark now apart from it's a weird spectacle in front of me at the moment because you have this strand of cloud along the horizon there's a beautiful crescent moon just appeared but you've also got the yellow glow of what I guess is still poor and Pointon just across the horizon but down below the horizon you can see the lights of Wally bridge those that are high enough up where people are still in their homes in the lights have started to come on over the last hour or so the Hill is peppered with with the lights of people's homes but when you look down into the heart of Wally bridge he's dark because now he's in those homes they're all out in my You've just heard the Palace Hotel there a long way from home tonight looking down into the valley eighty's very dark across there apart from the dam itself there is a huge flood light which has been set up and that's come on in the last sort of 10 or 15 minutes and that's it's actually hard to look at I'm about a quarter of a mile away so heaven knows what it's like down there the astonishing thing that I've been watching as I've been standing up here is the Chinook helicopters coming in and dropping off bags of aggregate now they've been doing that. Throughout the years of the latter stage of this afternoon in the early part of this evening they've just been back. They were here for maybe 5 minutes and I was expecting as I heard that from pump pump pump pump as it came in down the valley I was expecting any moment now big floodlights to switch on I was expecting that sort of midnight sun spot light to come on and eliminate the work that they were doing but no they ran in complete darkness just the green and the white flashing lights on the Chinook and you could hear it you couldn't see it so I'm only assuming that they're using infrared to drop those bags and they are still dropping them with pinpoint accuracy and not a big lens up here on my camera looking nice and close to the operation down there on the dam wall and they've been trying to fill that dark hole right at the top of the dam the last remaining big depression in the front of that dam wall but we have absolutely pinpoint accuracy as they've gone on now chief. McDermott told us earlier on that the helicopter only has a license to run until 11 o'clock tonight it always said they will run up until the while they will run as long as they possibly can to keep shoring up the face of that dam yet some extra weight on it and. Trying to get it strong because as much as we have been so lucky so lucky this afternoon and that there is not been a drop of rain where I've been standing despite some fairly foreboding skies that we've had at times nevertheless there is of course the possibility that come later on in the night midnight there's a possibility we might get some more rain so they're getting as much work in as they possibly can from here to try and shore up the top of that dam quite extraordinary scenes there and I know you've been talking to various people up in us. Yes where I'm standing is that is a track that leads up from the back of Wally bridge up to the Cricket Club home just just down from the cricket club up here so people have been walking up with their dogs and they've been bringing cameras and sharing their stories of difficulty but this last that I spoke to came up earlier on and actually coming in to see family from Chapel Hill even chaplain for We've just come heads have a look we've got family here living waylay they've been evacuated because they live hide in the dam so it's just been nice to have a look around How's the family doing how are they coping with what's going on and you know right yeah good good. I've got a loss is a little bit of you feels a little bit guilty coming in while all of this is going on you know because I feel it might go that everything will be OK I think you know going over to the high school this evening and it seems that they've got it all under control. In the reservoir obviously we're focused on the rain with this afternoon which obviously hasn't come so I think Cam It seems my positive action to continue to fly I didn't in the background there was like. Yes absolutely it's been that the dominating soundscape of this event go down anywhere near the cold winds and eerily quiet because there's no traffic there's no to ing and fro ing. There is no sound in the center of Wiley bridge but then all of a sudden you hear this helicopter just coming over the horizon up one and then all that you can hear. And then it goes away and the people look big speaking to this often is said it fills a kind of mixed emotions listening to that sound because it's hope because they are bringing in the aggregate they are shoring up the dam wall and they're doing a grand job but at the same time it is a it was an unmistakable remind that work is still going on and they still feel it is worth running a military helicopter in here bringing full $56.00 tons of anger get at a time doing in the dark under infrared I can only assume they still feel that that is worth doing and that is a reminder that this is still a serious situation Wesley good luck getting back thank you for all your contributions tonight was the Malayan who has been where you preach Bruce today on B.B.C. Radio Munster B.B.C. Radio Darby and B.B.C. Radio Sheffield It's 22 minutes past 10 was the mention there about the weather obviously after all this with the last thing that we want is for the heavens to open OK the very latest details with Alex Hamilton next after the stereo from thinks. So obviously that was one of the reasons that we decided to not. Because they were concerned about just how that rain would be. In Leeds Alex Hamilton who have just. On Facebook just post a little video is absolutely hammering down that that's the direction it went says it absolutely and in fact I've also had some pretty spectacular. Under storms tonight that yellow weather warning from the Met Office for thunderstorms in our patch is still in place and will continue to be in place until around midnight now all that means is that the convection all circumstances are right for thunderstorms to develop but at the moment it looks as though they are mostly missing Whaley Bridge and it should stay reasonably dry however by the time we get to around quarter to midnight midnight ish there will be a few showers starting to develop around the way the bridge area at the moment it doesn't look as though those will be too heavy but still worth bearing in mind with the ongoing situation that after those have moved through it will be drawing for a time but then in the early hours we've got a frontal system moving in from the west now that is becoming more patchy the further east gets However that could bring a few spells of heavy rain overnight we'll have to stay tuned to the forecast to see how the situation develops you can expect those tonight around 12 degrees Celsius Now tomorrow is that frontal system moves through it will be a wet and a cloudy start to the day with a few outbreaks of rain and also the odd heavy a shower in later on in the afternoon though the rain in the clouds will clear over to be a system that will leave things drier and brighter to close the day with highs of 21 degrees Celsius it does look like an unsettled week ahead to those so from the point of view of the ongoing situation at Wadebridge it is worth staying change to the forecast as low pressure really takes charge of the weather scattered showers are expected with some longer outbreaks of rain on Tuesday that will be accompanied by a fresh breeze and highs of around 21 degrees Celsius a few of those showers may turn heavy in the afternoon and then on Wednesday you can expect more widespread showers a few turning heavy and possibly thundering now some showers will linger overnight into Thursday but the good news is by the time we get to Thursday afternoon particularly things looking dry and brighter with some longer sunny spells and. Highs of around $22.00 degrees Celsius and obviously last week we had those horrendous downpours didn't we which did affect you know the sort of Stockport Bramble points and obviously in the end where you bridge a reboots tonight it's affecting Leeds are no further south a year experience today as well I suppose it's just those that we want to try and avoid isn't it in the next few days absolutely So it looks as though the bulk of those thundery showers have moved away to the north and east missing most of the South languishes South Yorkshire and North Star the sheer area the conditions are still right for the odd bit of convection to spark off another shower at the moment it doesn't look as though those showers will be too heavy and they are most likely around midnight then they'll be a bit of a pause and then the frontal system will start to move in from the west but the good news is it's fragmenting the further east it gets the bad news is it is still on the way so there will be the possibility of some more rain over the course of the early hours going into the 1st part of tomorrow morning would just be not quite nice for summer to return wouldn't it. Absolutely but through the next few days is looking as I will be fairly warm with highs around $21.00 degrees Celsius and whilst there is the chance of mole thundery showers a bit of a fresh breeze at times particularly on Thursday things are looking dry it with some longest sunny spells so it's not that summer is a complete washout but for the next few days you can expect more unsettled weather with a breeze and a chance of some more sundry shallots Alex thank you for that 1030 the time on B.B.C.
