A reminder of our main story: New from me, and on | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
coast. Large parts of the country are warned to expect disruption. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Tonight in Aberystwyth, students are being evacuated. The cost of | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
repairing our coast after recent storms reaches ?8 million. | :00:24. | :00:40. | |
The unlawful payments to council chief executives so they'd avoid | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
paying tax. Now, calls for them to resign. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Major building projects on the way here but do we have enough skilled | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
workers to deliver them? In tonight's sport: The simple | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
training techniques that makes Wales one of the fittest sides in world | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
rugby. We go behind the scenes to watch them being put through their | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
paces. And she had to stop singing because | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
of a brain tumour. The artist swapping the pop career for the | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
paintbrush. There are warnings tonight to stay | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
away from the coast as thousands of people brace themselves for more bad | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
weather. It comes weeks after parts of the country were damaged by | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
storms. Gale force winds, heavy downpours and high tides are | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
expected tomorrow. In Aberystwyth, 450 students are being evacuated | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
from the seafront and all lectures have been cancelled until Tuesday. | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
People in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire are being warned to | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
expect severe disruption and fire crews are on stand-by. The latest | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
weather warnings come as local authorities estimate they'll have to | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
spend almost ?8 million to clear up and repair the damage from earlier | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
this month. Our environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd, is in | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Aberystwyth for us this evening. It has been the wettest January 40 | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
years. We had storms in December and then the big storm three weeks ago. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
The cost of cleaning up as reached ?8 million already but there was | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
some good news today. On top of 2 million pledged last week, further | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
1.6 mil in pounds was pledged by Edwina Hart and Jane Hutt who came | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
here today. That money will be spent on speeding up the repair work, | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
especially in tourist areas. So some good news but there is some bad | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
weather on the way. Three weeks ago Aberystwyth the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
headlines as the sea Three weeks ago Aberystwyth the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
promenade. High tides and winds created the strongest surge | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
the decades. The repair work is still going on. Extra stone now | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
fills still going on. Extra stone now | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
The rush is on to fix as much as possible before this weekend's high | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
tides. Sea defences will be needed eventually and design could be | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
completed by the end of the year. There is the option of a reef off | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
the shore. Increasing the height of the promenade and putting a wall in | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
front of the promenade. That a number of different options. -- | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
there are a number. Workmen laying new pavement in readiness for the | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Easter tourists. Local business owners wish owning -- were showing | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
how a quarter of ?1 million has been spent on repairing this area. A | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
further ?1.6 million was pledged today. Anything we can do to get | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
them back in business is important. If you had a bad experience | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
somewhere, you go back and say, it was awful in Wales. The worst | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
affected local authorities have told BBC Wales how much the repairs will | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
cost. Conwy council estimates spending ?5 million. Ceredigion at | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
least 1,000,000 and a half. Gwynedd's estimate is now ?800,000 | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
and temperature Council reckon they will need to spend half ?1 million | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
to repair damage. -- Pembrokeshire Council. It is not just the local | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
authorities that have been hit. Network Rail spent -- spends ?1 | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
million to maintain the track along the Welsh coast and now they have | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
extensive repair costs. Since we saw the tidal surge in December, we are | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
looking at a bill of around ?15 million. That is on top of the usual | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
?1 million year we invest in the maintenance work. All along the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
coast there will be nervous checks on the expected high tides. In | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
Aberystwyth, 450 students living near the promenade are being | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
evacuated for safety reasons. Let's get some thoughts now on what | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
could work as a sea defence year. I am joined now by somebody who speaks | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
for the civil engineers. What could work in Aberystwyth? The final | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
answer will be a combination of solutions. The problem starts out | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
there in deep water. That is where the wave is at its strongest. The | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
first step is to kill as much of the wave is at its strongest. The | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
energy out there as we can. Then one can work on the foreshore, shallow | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
water will allow the wave to break earlier. When the waves come ashore, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
structures are available which can coast -- cope with that in a better | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
way than this wall did a few weeks ago. That sounds like an extensive | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
tech logical answer. But probably a very expensive one. You show me the | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
piece of string and I will measure it. You are talking about millions. | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
Some defences have cost ?30 million and we could be talking ?20 million | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
year? I don't wish to speculate other than to say it will be | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
millions. That cost will pay dividends if such an event happens | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
again. Thank you for joining us in Aberystwyth. I am told the planning | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
has already started in terms of a new coastal defence and they are | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
hoping to have a design potentially by the end of the year. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
There are calls for senior officers at two Welsh councils to step down | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
after auditors said pension payments they received were unlawful. | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire councils have allowed staff, | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
including their chief executives, to opt-out of the Local Government | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Pension Scheme to avoid paying tax. Cemlyn Davies reports. | :07:26. | :07:38. | |
Mark James and Bryn Parry Jones are the two Council Chief Executive 's | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
who have received cash instead of pension contributions in order to | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
avoid paying tax. But according to reports by the Wales Audit Office | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
the payments were unlawful because the council has acted beyond its | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
authority. I would like the councils to recognise they have made mistakes | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
and they have to assert -- they have twisted extent. If they want to take | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
lawful decisions in future they should follow the proper process. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Since 2012 Carmarthenshire council has paid Mr James more than ?27,000 | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
instead of contributing towards his local government pension. The | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
council has now put an end to that but a separate port finds the local | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
authorities decision to cover his legal costs in this case against a | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
local blogger was also unlawful. Carmarthenshire county council has | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
spent more than ?26,000 helping the Chief Executive to pursue a libel | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
counterclaim against Jackie Chief Executive to pursue a libel | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
The audit office has asked the authority to withdraw its support. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
The council says there authority to withdraw its support. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
full debate on the reports and authority to withdraw its support. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
forward to demonstrate demonstrating its actions were | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
honourable and lawful. In the meantime Mr James is facing calls to | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
step down and this morning the issue was raised in the Commons. Can we | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
have a statement about guidance to public bodies about the moral | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
obligations of senior public officials to pay their due tax and | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
penalties for noncompliance? I have seen what the Welsh audit office has | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
had to say about the lawfulness of those particular payments and in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
that sense I hope they will be exceptional rather than typical. In | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
temperatures case it is expected that by the end of March a total of | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
more than ?51,000 will be paid to Bryn Parry Jones and another senior | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
officer instead of pension contributions. The authority says it | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
will consider the auditor's report and opposition councillors want | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
action to be taken. We as an opposition and Labour group will be | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
retailing our request from November which calls for the Chief Executive | :10:04. | :10:15. | |
to be suspended. The audit office has called on Pemba ship Council to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
stop making direct payments to senior staff -- Pembrokeshire | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
Council. Dyfed-Powys Police says the force is in discussions with the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
auditor. The Pembrokeshire coroner is asking | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
the UK Government to review mental health procedures for soldiers. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
24-year-old Lee Bonsall was found hanging at his home in Tenby in | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
2012. He was discharged from the army in 2007, but an inquest today | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
revealed there were delays in psychiatric assessments and GPs | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
treating him for depression did not know about his military background. | :10:48. | :11:00. | |
When he got discharged, he was asked whether he wanted his medical | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
records referred to as GPs -- GP and he declined that. I think it needs | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
to be something that happens automatically because that is no | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
doubt whether they've had military experience then. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
A driver has appeared in court accused of knocking down a lollipop | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
lady who used her body as a human shield to protect a group of | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
schoolchildren. 62-year-old Robert Bell from Rhoose in the Vale of | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Glamorgan is charged with driving without due care and attention. | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
50-year-old Karin Williams suffered multiple injuries in the crash last | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
June. Four girls and a boy under ten were also injured. A trial is | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
expected to be held later this year. A father and son have both denied | :11:40. | :11:40. | |
expected to be held later this year. charges of forced labour involving a | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
man working on their small-holding near Newport. Daniel Doran and his | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
son, David Doran, were arrested following a raid at Cariad Farm in | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Marshfield. They pleaded not guilty to the charges at Cardiff Crown | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Court. They'll both stand trial later this year. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
A High Court Judge has decided later this year. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
it used a foreign TV channel to show Premier League football matches. The | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
owners of the Rhyddings Hotel in Brynmill now face a legal bill that | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
could be higher than ?125,000. BBC Wales understands the Premier League | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
is now likely to bring civil cases against other pubs across Wales and | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
England. Businesses say that a skilled | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
workforce is one of the top issues they face in trying to grow and | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
boost the economy. The Welsh Government's launched a ten year | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
strategy and it says it will work with employers and provide | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
investment. But it also argues that firms and workers have a | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
responsibility too. Here's our business correspondent, Brian | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
Meechan. A new power plant on Anglesey, | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
possibly -- a possible M4 relief road and a prison in Wrexham. Just | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
three projects could see the skill levels of the Welsh workforce put to | :13:02. | :13:13. | |
the test. I enjoyed. I like doing the welding and I'm going to go on | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
to level three Fai can. -- if I can. The deputy skills Minister launched | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
the new strategy which he says will focus on making sure businesses get | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
what they need. We know in terms of low skilled jobs they are shifting | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
away from the Western world. We need to capitalise on the growing demand | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
for the higher skilled jobs so the strategy we have launched today will | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
do just that. New report shows as many as 40% of employers taking on | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
school leavers at 16 describe the recruits as poorly for work. Brings | :13:53. | :14:04. | |
employs over 2000 people and that requires a workforce with a very | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
diverse range of skills. The Chief Executive is also the skills | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Commissioner for Wales. I think you'll see the business working more | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
closely with education in terms of trying to develop those skills, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
particularly communication skills, earlier on. Not all employers are | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
convinced it is the responsibility of companies. I agree the private | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
sector should be involved but I think it is the responsibility | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
sector should be involved but I the education sector to provide a | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
sector should be involved but I workforce that is numerate and | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
literate and has the basic skills. Ministers | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
literate and has the basic skills. employers with investment and argue | :14:50. | :14:50. | |
literate and has the basic skills. it's a two governments, businesses | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
and young people like these to work together to ensure Welsh prosperity | :14:55. | :14:55. | |
for the future. together to ensure Welsh prosperity | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
You're watching Wales Today. Still to come: The pop star forced to stop | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
singing and now developing a new talent for art, born from a | :15:05. | :15:05. | |
life-changing event. Tonight's sports news now. Here's | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
Claire. In less than 48 hours, the eyes of | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
the rugby world will be on Wales as the Six Nations kicks off, but | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
tonight the plot thickens in the regional rugby dispute. The regions | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
claim they haven't been paid by the Heineken Cup organisers and are | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
almost ?1 million out of pocket. Our sports news correspondent, Gareth | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Lewis, has just come off the phone. Gareth, what exactly are the regions | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
saying? The regions are angry and say they were expecting ?800,000 | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
today from the company which runs the European cup. The region 's | :15:52. | :16:04. | |
version of events is disputed the decision was made last set tender | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
which said all payments needed ratification. ERC say the regions | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
had representations in the shape of Stuart Gallacher at that meeting. | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
The WRU supports the ERC version of 's. The money goes through the WRU | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
cough is. It is deadline day tomorrow. Otherwise they may join | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
the English premiership. This row over money means there is lots of | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
anger over this money and possible confusion over dates. | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
Away from the politics, on Saturday, Wales begin their quest to win three | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Six Nations titles in a row. Behind me is the squad of 2014. Their | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
recent success has been built on the players' high levels of fitness. Our | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
reporter, Ashleigh Crowter, has been given access to Wales' training | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
base, where he discovered what the players have to put themselves | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
through to pull on that famous red shirt. | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
It is a place where the players are usually made to suffer but not | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
today. It is nice to watch other people do it. A group of fitness | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
journalists are getting a taste of what the squad is put through in the | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
run up to the six Nations. The players are there to show them the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
run up to the six Nations. The ropes. We do this at the start of | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
the session so we can train and fatigue. A match is like that. The | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
the session so we can train and things that happen in games. | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
Different players excel in different tests one thing is always the same, | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
a fierce rivalry within the team. They make sure they know which | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
player wins each one. It is very competitive. You feel sick and it's | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
not a pleasant feeling. The man who plans it all is an Australian whose | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
job title is head of physical performance. It was his idea to use | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
cryotherapy chambers to help players recovery -- recover. Everything is | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
measured. The distance they run, they weight and body composition and | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
there are times in training. No stone is left unturned in pursuit of | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
excellence. You got the doctor with the sleeping tablets and we try and | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
provide sleep hygiene and different nutrition strategies. The medics are | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
there, the soft tissue therapists. Lots of different people to make the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
wheel turn. The aim of all the effort is this. Last year 's | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
championship winning try scorer believes he could not have done it | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
without perfect preparation. You know you output that working off the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
field and you've got more chance of doing it on the field. It gives you | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
that edge. With the six Nations often decided by small margins this | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
is where it could all be won and lost. | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
On that evidence, Wales are more than ready to defend their title and | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
tomorrow night we'll be live at the Millennium Stadium with all the | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
build up. In football, with the clock ticking | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
on the January transfer window, Swansea City have withdrawn from the | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
chase for England Under-21 international Tom Ince. But the | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Swans have added to their under 21 resources by recruiting England | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
Under-19 international Raheem Hanley from Blackburn. Cardiff are still | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
battling through red tape before confirming the permanent deal for | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Brazilian international Fabio and a loan move for Wilfried Zaha, both | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
from Manchester United. That's tonight's sport. Tomos, back | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
to you. She was a successful Welsh pop star | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
who toured the world, but a brain tumour at the age of 26 left Mared | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Lenny unable to sing and fighting for her life. Four years on, her | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
condition is improving. But while she's had to abandon her music | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
career, she's developed an extraordinary talent for painting, | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
as our Arts Correspondent, Huw Thomas, has been finding out. | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
Colourful, symmetrical and very bright. Mared Lenny's patients -- | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
paintings are dazzling. The painting only began after she collapsed | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
paintings are dazzling. The painting a brain tumour four years ago. It's | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
changed her life and while it triggered a new talent it robs her | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
or another. successful music career but her | :20:48. | :20:57. | |
condition meant the singing had to stop. I was so lost without the | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
music, so lost trying to work out where I slotted into life. It was | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
hard to deal with. Painting has helped her recovery and the first | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
exhibition has been poplar. I see patterns and colours differently | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
after my operation. Everything jumps out at me a bit more. I want to get | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
things down on canvas. Most of the time it is freestyle. These big | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
patterns emerge. She's had no formal training and had never painted | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
before becoming ill but it's played a big part in her recovery. It saved | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
my sanity. I have accepted I would be a musician like I used to be. It | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
is nice to have something positive to come out of something so awful. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
She plans to take the paintings on tour. | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
