There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, and I'll be

:00:00.3:59:59

back with Good evening. Work has been going on

:00:00.:00:19.

throughout the day to clear a bus - that had been carrying passengers -

:00:20.:00:24.

when it was hit by a massive wave in stormy weather last night.

:00:25.:00:28.

Pembrokeshire Council says they were in the process of closing the road

:00:29.:00:32.

through Newgale when the bus became marooned. No one was injured.

:00:33.:00:34.

Caroline Evans reports. This is what the weather did last

:00:35.:00:39.

night in nude Gail. Conditions still treacherous as passengers were

:00:40.:00:43.

rescued by the emergency services. We were down about eight o'clock

:00:44.:00:47.

last night and when we got down here we could see there was something in

:00:48.:00:51.

the water but we were not sure what it was. The police told us they had

:00:52.:00:56.

a major evacuation under way and as the evening went on, I suppose about

:00:57.:01:02.

an hour or so, the ambulances were here, the fire engines, the

:01:03.:01:08.

coastguards, and as they managed to evacuate the people they were taking

:01:09.:01:13.

up the hill in police cars and onto another bus up there and paramedics

:01:14.:01:18.

were up there, and there was an awful lot going on down here but it

:01:19.:01:24.

was very calm and well organised. In that direction is Saint David's and

:01:25.:01:29.

this way is Haverfordwest and it seems the bus was travelling towards

:01:30.:01:34.

Haverfordwest when a massive wave to get off the road. Local people say

:01:35.:01:39.

that until the last two weeks they have not seen conditions like this

:01:40.:01:43.

for more than 20 years and it must have been terrifying.

:01:44.:01:46.

Today the road to the beach was packed with cars as people came to

:01:47.:01:51.

see the damage for themselves. It must've been horrendous for them, I

:01:52.:01:55.

would have thought. We saw the wave coming over last night and it looked

:01:56.:02:00.

frightening from up there! It must've been pretty horrific for the

:02:01.:02:06.

people in the coach. The waves come over many a year but never like

:02:07.:02:11.

this. It must've been quite scary for the people on the bus. This

:02:12.:02:16.

afternoon Pembrokeshire Council confirmed they had been in the

:02:17.:02:20.

process of closing the road when the bus went through Newgale. Elsewhere,

:02:21.:02:25.

more wind and waves battered the coast. In Porthcawl a seven foot

:02:26.:02:30.

wall was demolished. The RNLI could not launch their boat well the crew

:02:31.:02:37.

cleared debris. -- while the crew. This was Aberystwyth. We are really

:02:38.:02:44.

pleased that the repairs after the last storms have held up. There was

:02:45.:02:48.

minimal damage from last night but we have a bit of shingle lying

:02:49.:02:53.

around. We have reopened this stretch of road Road and we will be

:02:54.:03:00.

reopening the rest of the road from about lunchtime tomorrow. Tonight

:03:01.:03:07.

the council is assessing the cost of damage for the second time this

:03:08.:03:10.

year. Elsewhere, more than 50 mountain

:03:11.:03:12.

rescuers battled atrocious weather conditions to help find a group of

:03:13.:03:15.

students in the Cambrian Mountains. Seven students from Manchester

:03:16.:03:18.

Metropolitan University had set out to walk Pumlumon mountain between

:03:19.:03:20.

Aberystwyth and Llanidloes when weather conditions deteriorated.

:03:21.:03:24.

There's a powerful case for extending the smoking ban to

:03:25.:03:27.

e-cigarettes. That's according to the Health Minister. Mark Drakeford

:03:28.:03:30.

says, while he understands they could help people quit smoking, he

:03:31.:03:33.

is very anxious about e-cigarettes. On Tuesday Assembly Members are to

:03:34.:03:37.

vote on whether to ban their sale to under-18s.

:03:38.:03:47.

The e-cigarette movement is normalising smoking again,

:03:48.:03:51.

glamorising smoking again. It contains nicotine, which is highly

:03:52.:03:55.

addictive, and we don't want e-cigarettes to become a gateway to

:03:56.:03:58.

real cigarettes. Rugby, and Wales have no new injury

:03:59.:04:02.

concerns after their win over Italy. Tries from Scott Williams and Alex

:04:03.:04:05.

Cuthbert meant Wales started their defence of the Six Nations title

:04:06.:04:08.

with a win. The coaching staff will keep an eye on Luke Charteris,

:04:09.:04:12.

though, who was replaced in the second half.

:04:13.:04:19.

You can watch plenty of discussion and analysis of their opening game

:04:20.:04:24.

on BBC Two Wales at seven o'clock this evening.

:04:25.:04:29.

Football - Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his side was

:04:30.:04:32.

lucky in their 2-1 win over Norwich. After falling behind, Craig Bellamy

:04:33.:04:35.

equalised, becoming the first player to score for seven different Premier

:04:36.:04:38.

League clubs. Striker Kenwyne Jones scored the winner on his debut.

:04:39.:04:43.

Mmeanwhile, Swansea City are just three points above the Bluebirds

:04:44.:04:46.

ahead of the South Wales derby next weekend, after losing 2-0 to West

:04:47.:04:49.

Ham. The weather forecast for Wales -

:04:50.:04:58.

here is Sara Thornton. A number of showers across Wales

:04:59.:05:01.

during the day but also some dry weather. Here are those showers,

:05:02.:05:11.

coming again through the night, but the breeze will be picking up and

:05:12.:05:18.

the rain advances from the West through the morning. We have a Met

:05:19.:05:23.

Office weather warning for rain heading in tomorrow. That is

:05:24.:05:27.

combined with some very strong winds. The warning in place for

:05:28.:05:31.

temperature, parts of the south coast. We could see up to 30

:05:32.:05:34.

millimetres in a short period of time. Combined with some very strong

:05:35.:05:42.

winds, we could see gusts along the coast of 50 to 60 mph. We could see

:05:43.:05:50.

some very big waves and maybe some overtopping. Tuesday into Wednesday

:05:51.:05:55.

we have some more heavy rain and some more very strong winds.

:05:56.:06:00.

Wednesday. Lots of ice bars on the chart.

:06:01.:06:08.

Good evening. Most of us have had a fine Sunday with some sunshine, but

:06:09.:06:13.

there is more wet and windy weather on the way. Focused tomorrow across

:06:14.:06:20.

western areas. In the east, again, generally dry and breezy. The

:06:21.:06:23.

breezes picking up again overnight, the wind is getting lively again

:06:24.:06:28.

around western coasts and with further high tides, the ongoing risk
