Sturgeon To Visit Areas Hit By Latest Floods

Nicola Sturgeon is to visit flood-stricken communities in northeast Scotland later, where she is expected to provide details of the funding and support that victims will receive. Two severe flood warnings for Inverurie and Kintore remain in place, indicating a "danger to life" - but the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has said it expects floodwaters to begin receding. Derek and Lyn Mackay's home was 4ft underwater when firefighters helped them to safety.
