struggled with an Australian barrage all tour. Let's hope this guy has a | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. Heavy rain has brought flooding to parts of south and west | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Wales and continued to cause travel disruption. Fire crews have been | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
dealing with calls from Pembrokeshire right across to | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Monmouthshire and there are still a number of flood warnings in place. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Paul Heaney reports. Much of the Monmouthshire | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
countryside is underwater. This pub and restaurant in the village of | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Trelech are bailing themselves out to try to save their Christmas | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
trade. You can see up to here, that is how high the water was when we | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
came down. That went into the pub and filled the pub with water as | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
well. What does it mean for the business? We have had to phone all | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
our Christmas Eve bookings for food, Christmas Day bookings, we can't do | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
anything at all now. Fire fighters may have been invaluable here last | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
night, but industrial action is planned by the Fire Brigades Union | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
between 7.00pm and midnight tonight in a dispute over pensions. The | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
weather conditions over the last 24 hours have shown what a magnificent | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
job our firefighters do. There are contingency plans with each service | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
in Wales to deal with any issues and they will have a major incident | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
plan. With scenes like this in Carmarthenshire, travel plans for | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
many have also been disrupted. A landslip on the line between | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Machynlleth and Newtown stopped trains on the Cambrian Line. And | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
staff at Chepstow racecourse are hoping the Welsh National on | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Saturday won't be affected despite two days of heavy rain, although | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Boxing Day's race at Ffos Las in Carmarthenshire is now off. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
A postmortem has been carried out on a woman whose body was recovered | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
from a stream in Gwynedd. Police and rescue teams were called to Nant | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Ffrancon near Bethesda yesterday. It's believed the woman, thought to | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
be in her 40s or 50s, was checking her water supply. An inquest is | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
expected to open after Christmas. Police aren't treating it as | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
suspicious. The Russian authorities have dropped | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
criminal charges against an activist from Newport accused of taking part | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
in a Greenpeace protest in the Arctic. Anthony Perrett is among 30 | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
people who were arrested in September as they staged a protest | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
at a Russian offshore oil rig. They've now been granted amnesty. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
It is a great relief to have the criminal proceedings finally | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
dropped. My partner is with me in St Petersburg and it is one of the most | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
beautiful cities in the world so not too worried about getting back for | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Christmas. The Archbishop of Wales will use the | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
example of Nelson Mandela's life to focus on forgiveness and | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
reconciliation during his Christmas message. Dr Barry Morgan will say | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the former South African president refused to hate those who had | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
imprisoned him. He also says his highlights of 2013 included a vote | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
on women bishops. I think for the Church in Wales, it | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
is the bill to make it possible for women to be ordained as bishops. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Some people are asking when that is going to happen. They have missed | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
the point. The fact is, what the bill made possible was that at least | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
women could be considered as candidates and that is the really | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
important thing. The rest will come later. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Well, after a miserable few days, are things going to improve for the | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
rest of the festive period? Derek has the Christmas forecast. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
We have had just about everything thrown at us today. Thankfully the | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
wind will continue to ease tonight but Father Christmas will need to | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
watch out for some showers. Heavy in places with hail and snow on higher | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
ground, including the Brecon Beacons. Christmas Day promises to | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
be calmer. There will be showers around, most in parts of Powys and | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
the South. A little bit of snow on some hills and mountains. Some dry | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
and bright weather tomorrow as well and the wind lighter than today. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Tomorrow night, a few showers here and there. A cold night. And on | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
Boxing Day, fog and frost will lift and a few showers dotted around. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Otherwise dry with sunshine. There is more wet and windy weather | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
arriving by Friday. Don't forget, there'll be full | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
updates on the weather and any disruption that's causing on our | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
website, but that's it from the Wales Today team. From all of us, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
happy Christmas. it from us - we are back on Boxing | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
Day at One o'clock. Merry Christmas. Hello. The weather has been a little | :05:03. | :05:15. | |
kinder today to travellers and last-minute Christmas shoppers | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
across England and Wales. Not as bad as we feared across Northern | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Ireland. We have a warning out across parts of Scott and | :05:27. | :05:27. |
