Take a look at this video of divers inspecting temporary repairs to Kendal's Victoria Bridge, sometimes known as Batman or Bat Bridge, which was damaged during the floods.

Work started today to repair the bridge, which is one of the town's most important. Its closure has been causing traffic problems.

The county council says it now hopes it'll reopen next week, which is sooner than expected.

The video has come from Cumbria County Council.

A mainly dry night with light winds and clear spells allowing frost and freezing fog patches to form. 

Clouding over from the west later, with an odd spot of rain possible by dawn.  It'll be chilly with temperatures dropping to -1C (30F).

One of the three men accused of murdering a Carlisle teenager revealed to police that another of the defendants had knives and swords at his home, a jury has heard.

Officers questioned Daniel Johnston at his home in Carlisle three days after Jordan Watson's body was found in Upperby Cemetery. 

Detectives investigating the 14-year-old's death told the hearing how he appeared agitated and nervous and how Daniel Johnston had told them they should talk to George Thomson because of his collection of weapons. 

Nineteen-year-old George Thomson, Brahnn Finley, also 19, and 20-year-old Daniel Johnston, all from Carlisle, deny murder. 

The trial at Carlisle Crown Court continues.

Cumbria County Council and Cumbria Police owe the public an explanation over their handling of the Poppi Worthington case, Sir Simon Hughes, a former Justice Minister and Liberal Democrat MP, has told me.

Both authorities were severely criticised by the family court judge in his ruling yesterday that Poppi's father sexually abused her before her death. 

Sir Simon went on to say that he hopes they will come to the conclusion that the matter can't just be closed and must be re-opened again.

You can hear more of my interview with Sir Simon from 17:00.

A 13-month-old girl was sexually assaulted by her father shortly before her sudden death, a judge has found.

Carlisle will host Everton in the FA Cup fourth round after beating League Two rivals Yeovil on penalties, Mark Ellis scoring the crucial penalty after Matt Dolan missed.

A few bright spells this afternoon, but it will be chilly. Highs of 4C (39F). 

It'll be cloudy with thick fog tonight along with a few showers, and temperatures down to -1C (30F).

A court has heard that one of the three men accused of murdering a Carlisle teenager deleted almost his entire mobile phone history less than an hour after Jordan Watson died. 

Phone records showed that George Thomson deleted more than 500 calls from his phone log.

The prosecution claims that Jordan Watson was lured to Upperby Cemetery on 15 June last year, then killed.

George Thomson and Brahnn Finley, both 19, and 20-year-old Daniel Johnston, all from Carlisle, deny murder. 

The trial at Carlisle Crown Court continues.

The Prime Minister was "shocked" to hear a judge rule Poppi Worthington was sexually abused by her father.

Asked about David Cameron's response to Poppi's death, a Downing Street source said: "Like anyone in the country, the Prime Minister has been shocked to read what the judge said yesterday."

Construction skills’ shortages are pushing wages in the sector far above the national average, putting Cumbria’s housing and infrastructure programmes at risk., external

This stark warning comes from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). 

That concludes the urgent question in the Commons over the death of Poppi Worthington.

In summary: 

• Barrow Labour MP John Woodcock tells MPs the judge's ruling yesterday makes it "clear" Poppi's father Paul Worthington "raped" the toddler before she died.
• Home Office minister Karen Bradley is repeatedly asked if another force can investigate and whether there needs to be an independent inquiry.
• She stresses she cannot talk in detail about the case, and asks for patience until a second inquest is held and an IPCC report is published.
• But she makes it clear there can only be a new police investigation if new evidence comes to light, although the family have the potential for a victims' right to review the CPS decision not to prosecute anyone over Poppi's death.

Workington Labour MP Sue Hayman backs a call for an independent report and says the IPCC report has been leaked.

The minister says she did not know the report had been leaked and said it was "absolutely shocking" if true and "shouldn't have happened".

The BBC reported on it last year.
