Drinking water supplies have started to run out in some areas of England worst affected by the flooding.

Up to 4,000 people in and around Bromyard in Herefordshire are without water after a treatment works near Worcester was flooded.

And Severn Trent Water says up to 350,000 people could be cut off as water, in first Gloucester, and later Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, runs out.

Power supplies to 500,000 people in Gloucestershire are also threatened.

Earlier, Environment Agency chief executive Baroness Young told the BBC that about £1bn a year was needed to improve flood defences.
