Floods
After heavy rainfall across the UK, river levels are rising and hundreds of homes and businesses are devastated, Ruth Alexander and guests take your calls on flooding.
There are warnings Britain is facing a national flood crisis, after heavy rainfall across the country. The Environment Agency says more than 900 properties have been flooded during this latest period of bad weather. It's issued flood warning messages to hundreds of thousands of households in the past few days.
Many homes and businesses are counting the cost of the clean-up, whilst rail services are badly disrupted and many roads remain under water. In parts of Cornwall, insurers and surveyors have started assessing the damage.
But there's concern that around 200,000 homes could be left without flood cover next year when an agreement between the government and the Association of British Insurers runs out in June.
