Storm Bella triggers floods in parts of central England

Severe flood warnings - meaning lives are at risk - have been issued as Storm Bella brings gales and downpours to the UK.

On Boxing Day morning, the Environment Agency issued three such warnings for the Bedford area, Cogenhoe Mill Caravan Site, and the River Nene at Billing Aquadrome.

Officials said there had been heavy rain across the Great Ouse catchment and more was expected, bringing "significant disruption to the community" and also possibly affecting electricity services.

There are also 68 general flood warnings in place across the country, and 95 flood alerts.

The warnings come after Christmas Day flooding which forced hundreds of residents in parts of Bedfordshire to flee their homes.
