Church opens doors to flood victims

Royal Marines have been deployed in flood-hit Somerset as the village of Moorland is evacuated.

Residents of nearby Fordgate have also been told they may have to leave their homes as more heavy rain threatens the area.

Forecasters say more stormy weather is expected across the UK tomorrow.

We're being warned wind speeds could reach up to 80 miles per hour.

Chris Baillie is the Minister at Westfield Church in Bridgwater in Somerset, which is being used as a centre for those who've had to leave their homes.

He spoke to Marcus Jones on Premier's News Hour and told him how the church was involved in supporting the victims of the flooding:

Meanwhile, people from the flood-hit Somerset Levels have held an angry meeting with the Environment Agency's chairman over the way his organisation's responded to the bad weather.

Lord Smith says he's not to blame for the crisis and won't be resigning.
