The latest on the UK flooding and a large fire at a market in Kabul. With Dotun Adebayo.

The latest on the pre-Christmas travel woes as parts of the UK battle severe flooding, and a live update from Afghanistan as a major fire rips through Kabul. With Dotun Adebayo.

News from home and abroad with Dotun Adebayo.

Up All Night brings you the latest as severe downpours batter many parts of the country. We're live in Cornwall as the village of Hannafore is cut off completely from vehicles after a landslide. Local councillor, Edwina Hannaford, tells us how locals have a 'keep calm and carry on mentality'. One chef is even spotted pushing a trolley to the hotel which is going ahead with a function - although it means the guests having to walk a mile to the venue.

As a massive fire destroys a market in Afghanistan, we're live in Kabul with our correspondent Bilal Sarwary, who describes the rush by stallholders to grab huge amounts of cash and take it to safety. He tells Dotun how many of them live hand to mouth, and with their businesses now in tatters, any money they have is crucial to their survival.
