Power restored as floods recede

More than 48,000 homes have had power restored as waters recede in one of the areas worst hit by England's floods.

A Gloucester electricity substation was repaired by emergency services, while at another in the city water levels came close to breaching outside walls.

At least 350,000 people across Gloucestershire have been left without running water because of the floods.

Threatened homes on the Thames escaped flooding overnight, but residents are now on alert further along the river.
