UK floods: PM says money 'no object' in relief effort

The prime minister says money will be no object as flood relief efforts continue across swathes of the UK.
David Cameron warned the severe weather was not over, saying: "Things could get worse before they get better."
Fourteen severe flood warnings remain in place in Berkshire and Surrey and two remain in Somerset.
Around 1,000 properties have been evacuated, thousands more are at risk and there are warnings of snow, high winds and more rain later and tomorrow.
The Met Office has issued an amber "be prepared" warning of wind on Wednesday as well as yellow "be aware" snow, wind and rain warnings.
It said the "potentially damaging winds" could be strong enough to bring down trees, causing transport and power network problems.
Speaking at a Downing Street press conference after returning from the flood-stricken South West, Mr Cameron said: "Money is no object in this relief effort. Whatever money is needed, we will spend it."
