UK - Flood levels are expected to remain "very high" and in some areas will continue to rise despite an improved weather forecast. Of the more than 1 million properties without power, only 30 000 remain in the dark. The Met Office has a yellow severe weather warning - meaning "be aware" - for ice for most of the UK until 10:00 GMT. The Environment Agency has 16 severe flood warnings - meaning "danger to life" - in south-east and south-west England. After sunshine and light winds on Sunday, next week would be unsettled with further spells of rain but not as stormy as recently.
Japan - he second heavy snowfall in a week to hit Japan killed up to a dozen people and injured hundreds over the weekend, while paralysing traffic and causing power outages. In Yamanashi, in central Japan, a record 114 centimetres (45 inches) of snow fell. About 27 centimetres (10 inches) of snow was enough to paralyse Tokyo, which usually sees only a few light dustings each winter. Media reports said as many as 12 people died and 1,500 were injured nationwide since Friday in snow-related accidents.
