00:00 Hello, I'm Michael Crosland, Business Reporter with the Yorkshire First.

00:03 Away from the usual business duties today in a very rainy Sheffield, where storm Bama is well into it.

00:08 As you can see from the river Don behind me, it's already up and the rain is expected to continue

00:13 throughout the weekend. There's been a number of travel delays across South Yorkshire already.

00:17 The Rotherham train station was one, has closed, meaning that all tram train services that would

00:21 have gone to Rotherham have now been diverted to Meadow Hall. South Yorkshire, of course, is not

00:27 the worst affected part of the country. With weather warnings, red weather warnings in place

00:31 in parts of Scotland, Yorkshire has an amber weather warning across the region.

00:36 That's all we have today, I'm Michael Crosland, reporting for the Yorkshire First.
