confiscated and destroyed, well, that must be galling. | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
Good evening. The driver of a bus forced off the road in horrendous | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
weather conditions has denied claims he was told to use another route. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Pembrokeshire Council says he ignored warnings, even though | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
traffic was being diverted at Newgale. No-one was injured but ten | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
passengers and the driver had to be rescued after the bus was hit by a | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
huge wave. There are warnings of more bad weather to come this week. | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Abigail Neal reports. This is the aftermath of the latest storm. The | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
411 bus from St David's to Haverfordwest was swept off the road | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
on Saturday night, and ten passengers had to be rescued as the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
bus was battered by the waves. The driver that night was back on his | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
route this morning, describing his shock the moment the wave hit. I | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
hadn't moved the steering work -- steering wheel and suddenly we are | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
going in a different direction. It was literally the same sort of | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
effort as you would imagine picking up a coffee table to move it. It | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
must have felt quite strange. Yes. It's not something I want to go | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
through in the near future. Police are carrying out a routine | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
investigation into the accident. Pembrokeshire Council have issued a | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
statement saying that the driver ignored warnings from their workers | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
at the scene. They say that at 7pm the council was in the process of | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
closing the road and advised him to take an alternative route, something | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
Mr Ashman flatly denies. They'd just arrived, they were in the process of | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
it, I believe. Ultimately, I'm not going to put myself or passengers at | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
risk. It is not in my best interests. I was told that there | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
were standing water but it was still possible with care. We spoke to one | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
passenger on the bus today who corroborated the driver's version of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
events. It's the second time in a month that the storm has caused | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
chaos down here in Newgale. And while the weather wasn't as bad as | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
in January, it wasn't the only part of Wales to suffer. In Abersoch a | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
number of beach huts were badly damaged, and in Porthmadog a train | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
carrying tools was overturned on the tracks by the 70mph winds. They took | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
no risks in Aberystwyth, sending students home for the weekend. But | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
in the end it was only shingle and debris that scattered the promenade. | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
The app centre text to the phone and interrogate the phone's GPS. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Technology came to the rescue nearby when a phone app helped mountain | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
rescue teams locate a group of seven students from Manchester who got | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
into trouble on Pumlumon Mountain. If you think of a huge area, very | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
poor phone signal normally. Without a clear indication of where they | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
were, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If we have a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
precise location it makes the job a lot easier. The Met Office have | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
warned that another band of strong wind and heavy rain to come, with | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
some coastal areas facing wind speeds of up to 80 mph. Patients are | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
being urged to stay away from Wales' largest hospital following an | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
unprecedented influx of patients over the past 48 hours. Cardiff and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Vale University Health Board is tonight warning people coming to the | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Emergency Unit at the University Hospital of Wales with minor | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
conditions to expect significant waits for treatment, as staff are | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
focusing on caring for the sickest patients. Who owns the rights to | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
whatever lies beneath your house or garden? They call them manorial | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
rights and tonight, 800 people attended a meeting on Anglesey to | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
discuss what had, until now, thought to be largely symbolic rights. The | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
meeting heard about Lord Treffos, who bought the title in 1992, who | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
claims manorial rights over thousands of properties. There is | :04:07. | :04:20. | |
some good news. We are hoping he will drop the claim and we might not | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
have to take things any further. I have some residual concerns, because | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
even if he didn't drop the claim he could sell the rights to somebody | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
else. Although I'm not worried about my house particularly, there is land | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
that somebody could theoretically come hunting on that we don't want | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
them to do that. Dyfed-Powys Police say they're talking to the Crown | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Prosecution Service and another police force over payments to two | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
council chief executives. Auditors say Mark James, the chief executive | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
of Carmarthenshire, and his counterpart at Pembrokeshire, Bryn | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Parry Jones, were unlawfully paid pension contributions directly to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
avoid paying tax. Both councils have denied doing anything wrong. Police | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a patient | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. 81-year-old Alan Walker, from | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Leeswood near Mold, died nearly two weeks ago. A cause of death has not | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
yet been confirmed. North Wales Police said there had been no | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
arrests, but staff at the hospital were assisting with inquiries. The | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
family of missing teenager Nida Naseer say she was deeply depressed | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
for two years before disappearing in December. Her sister says the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
19-year-old from Newport was also jealous of a friend who'd been | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
granted asylum and allowed to attend university. Nida's family, who are | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
from Pakistan, had been refused asylum. Gwent Police say they've | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
received over 50 calls regarding reported sightings across the UK but | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Nida is still missing. Wales' longest-serving MP is standing down | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
at the general election next year. Ann Clwyd, who's 76, has been MP for | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Cynon Valley for 30 years. She says she'll continue to speak out on | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
issues such as human rights and the NHS. For many years she was the only | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Welsh woman MP at Westminster. Our parliamentary correspondent, David | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
Cornock, reports. As a woman in what was often a | :06:09. | :06:23. | |
man's world, and Clywd knew how to get noticed, spending a night | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
underground to fight plans to close Tower colliery in the mid-1990s. How | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
are you feeling? A bit feeble at the moment but I'm very pleased we | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
managed to get some kind of reprieve. Ten years earlier she'd | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
won the by-election to become only Wales' fourth woman MP ever. It was | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
difficult for a woman to break in. But the more difficult it was, the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
more determined you came to get your foot in the door. This is what I | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
always say to people. Keep your foot in the door, don't take it out. At | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Westminster she made her name on foreign affairs, speaking up on | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
human rights. Often independent and outspoken, in opposition she was | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
sacked from the Labour front bench by both Neil Kinnock and Tony Blair. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
But you won cross-party support for highlighting problems in the care | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
her dying husband received in hospital in Cardiff. There are | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
increasing complaints about nurses who failed to show care and | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
compassion to their patients. What will the Prime Minister do about | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
that? The Prime Minister asked her to lead a review of NHS complaints | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
in England. I felt very angry that this should be happening in the | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
NHS, but I think the vast number of letters that I got certainly proved | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
I wasn't alone. That gave me particular impetus to carry on the | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
campaign. It is still going on. Now 76, she says she'll continue to | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
speak out. The House of Lords may follow. This is not her swansong but | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
a slight pause for breath. Let's get the forecast now. | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
No sign of any high pressure. Wet in Pembrokeshire today. Yes, there is | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
more heavy rain and gale is on the weekend. You could see 100 | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
millimetres or more of rain in parts of the South and West. That is up to | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
five inches. Most places wet at the moment, a bit of snow on the higher | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
ground. That rain will gradually clearing away. Turning dry before | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
showers arrived, some of these heavy and wintry on higher ground. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Temperatures inland clue falling close to freezing and there will be | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
a touch of frost in places with icy patches. The case of dodging the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
showers tomorrow morning. Some of them heavy. Some sunshine as well. | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
Across the rest of the UK, damp and breezy in the north-east of | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Scotland. Elsewhere, brighter, some sunshine, scattered, heavy downpours | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
as well. Some places will stay dry. However, wet and windy weather will | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
reach the south-west and Cornwall mid to late afternoon with severe | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
gales. At 3pm, most of Wales should be dry but you will notice the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
southeasterly wind strengthening. Eventually Gales on the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Pembrokeshire coast and rain in the south and south-west. All tied to | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
this storm system heading towards the south west of Ireland. Turning | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
wet and very window -- Indy tomorrow evening. Heavy rain, strong to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
severe sales force winds as well. It is they will continue windy. Further | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
rain and blustery showers, strong winds and gales with a risk of | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
flooding on the coast from Anglesey to south-west Wales. Brighter on | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
Thursday but more stormy weather next weekend. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Jeremy Paxman has Newsnight over on BBC Two now, with the story of the | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
former UKIP spokesman who led a kidnap gang in Pakistan. | :09:58. | :10:02. |
