| | | | | Sophie Zeldin-O'Neill | | 25 November 2024 | | | | Good morning. Nearly 200 flood warnings remain in place across the UK after Storm Bert hit all four nations over the weekend - with further disruption to travel expected. Elsewhere, a British man has reportedly been captured by Russian forces while fighting for Ukraine, and Keir Starmer will meet police chiefs, hospitality bosses and transport leaders in Downing Street to coordinate action against drink spiking. | | | | | | |
| | Storm Bert floods 'absolutely devastating', says Welsh FM | |  | | The River Taff has burst its banks in Pontypridd, Wales, and residents in the town were seen using buckets to remove water from outside their homes. Image: Getty images | | Over the weekend, thousands of homes in England and Wales were left without electricity as Storm Bert brought heavy downpours and wind gusts of up to 75mph. In Northern Ireland, some counties saw more than a month's worth of rainfall in two days, while in Wales, a body was found in the search for a 75-year-old dog walker who went missing in the storm. Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan said Bert's impact has been "absolutely devastating". Morgan said authorities had been prepared for the storm, but added that "when you get the kind of enormity of rain we’ve had over the past few days... minimising the impact was going to be difficult". | | | | | | | | | | |
