Hello, I'm Amelia Reynolds. for the news where you are.
First this evening, the latdst in a series of strikes at Stansted
It's the second time security scanner staff have walked out
Bank holiday flights out of Stansted faced delays of between 20 minutes
But the airport insists they were unconnected to the strhke.

union who scan luggage as it goes through security were on strike
I don't know if you have heard about that.
We are just going to go in and get through, hopefully.
We were not given permission to film inside the terminal today, but this
mobile phone footage shows how busy it was at mid-day, but the airport
said passengers were unaffected by the industrial action.
GMB members employed by a private contractor called Mighty ard
Mighty itself has said it h`s robust contingency plans in place.
It has also said it is committed to treating its employees fairly,

A 40-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
He's been taken to Hinchingbrooke Hospital, where he's
being treated for a serious but not life threatening injury.
It's been a wet bank holidax for many of us here in the East with
There's also been some localised flooding.
There are currently nine flood alerts in place
around the east coast, following this afternoon's high tide.
The bank holiday began with a splash for many of us.
This is Mildenhall in Suffolk, where the main road had to be closed
for a time after vehicles began breaking down in the floodw`ter
There was police blocking the entire road,
And as we looked down, the road was just covered in water.
Have you ever seen it that bad before?
It was a soggy story to add the Aylsham agricultural show
in Norfolk where a Battle of Britain fly-past had to be
That same cloud was to blame for grounding the Vulcan
at yesterday's Little Gransden airshow in Cambridgeshire.
The fly-past would have been one of the last outings for the bomb
I am told that in October this year, that will be it.
And spare a thought for these motorists on the west
Mersey Causeway in Essex, where the water was exceptionally high.
The heavy rain making heavy work of the big drive home.
But not all the residents seemed to mind.
And for the latest on the weather tomorrow morning
and any travel problems due to flooding, you can of course listen
Essex firefighters are out on strike again today.
In football, just one of our teams in action tonight.

We have had an appalling day today, lots of heavy rain on the b`nk
It is going to get better, `s we go through the next 24 hours or so.
And with quite a lot of cloud around, it is going to hold
Notice just the odd rogue shower turning up over
And then we have got these north-westerly winds that will keep
it a bit on the cool side tomorrow and still one or two showers around.
So for the day itself, a much brighter story eventtally.
The sun will break through, it will get much brighter for most of us.
Some heavy showers going across the Fens, into Norfolk.
In the south, you may have to wait until the afternoon
Temperatures 17, 18 Celsius, perhaps a 19 down in Essex.
Your national forecast is coming up next.
In the meantime, here is a summary for
the next few days and it does look as if we have got a rather showery
What do you know, Bank Holiday Monday, and it rained. Surprise
surprise. Let's see what the weather gods have in store for us this
week. We have some sunshine and showers. We also have some northerly
winds heading our way, and it will feel a tad cool for some of us, so
brollies to hand, but it will not be a wash-out. This is how it looked

weather front that was sitting over a large chunk of England. A few
heavy pulses here and there, but pretty much dry for most of the
time, most of the night. Tomorrow morning's rush-hour, most of us are
back to work and we have a few showers around. For both the morning
and afternoon, the best of the weather will be across the South and
the south-west of the UK and southern parts of Wales. Cardiff
should have a decent morning and afternoon. To the north of that, it
is that awkward mishmash of sunny spells, cloudier moments
