New boat to help flood rescuers

Last winter around 5,000 homes and businesses in Britain were flooded following storms and heavy rain, with many rivers reaching record levels.

When the waters rise, rescuers have to respond quickly to help those communities affected.

One group of volunteers in Upton upon Severn, Worcestershire, is preparing to use a Swedish rescue boat called the Rescuerunner.
