UK floods: Forecast prompts severe warnings

High tides, rain and strong winds continue to cause problems as south-west England and the Midlands are braced for floods.

The Environment Agency has issued nine severe flood warnings, which mean there is a "danger to life".

In Somerset, where some villages are still flooded weeks after being deluged, there are renewed efforts to prevent further flooding.
