Shocking footage shows how a stretch of river has been left looking 'like a Third World country' after it became 'festooned' with rubbish in the aftermath of flooding.

Huge parts of the River Soar is now strewn with household and industrial waste following widespread flooding caused by Storm Henk in Leicester.

Hundreds of thousands of items of litter can be seen washed up along the riverbank and stuck in trees along a stretch spanning more than a mile.
