The US National Security Agency has denied German press reports that President Obama was told in 2010 that Chancellor Angela Merkel's phones were being tapped. Katy Watson reports from Washington. “The leaks in German newspapers have continued over the weekend and with them the outrage over the scope of US spy agencies has grown. But the National Security Agency has hit back, in a statement it said its boss Gen Keith Alexander did not have a discussion with the President in 2010 over an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving the German leader, nor did he discuss any other alleged operations involving Ms. Merkel.”
People across central and southern Britain have been warned to prepare for one of the most violent storms to hit the country for many years. Heavy rain and winds of more than 130km/h have been forecasted overnight and into Monday morning. The National Weather Center is warning that the storm could blow down trees, knock out power supplies, damage building and cause flooding. People have been advised not to travel and many train services have already been cancelled.
