marrying man with machine. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Good evening. Storm force gales and torrential rain have again been | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
battering the coastline. The South has been the worst affected, with | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
winds up to 70 miles an hour. Fallen trees have blocked roads and damaged | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
buildings, and forecasters say more bad weather is expected. Nick Palit | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
reports. It is now an all too familiar scene | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
just a month into 2014. Gale force winds, rain is, a battered | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
coastline. Here in the Vale of Glamorgan, the Esplanade were shot | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
to traffic as a precaution. The force of the high tide, showering | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
the seafront with rocks, pebbles and seaweed. The nearby Cardiff Bay | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
barrage was also closed for a time. The bad weather hit last night and | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
storm force winds brought down power lines, leaving 700 homes in south | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Wales without electricity for a time. Western power just abuse and | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
say they have now all been reconnected. As dawn broke, the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
storms continued, producing these dramatic images. They have also been | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
reports of houses being flooded in the Brecon area. In the West, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
visitors to this beach have been warned of collapsing sand dunes. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Millions of tonnes of sand have been sheared off the dunes in recent | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
storm surges, leaving dangerous drops of up to 35 feet. As it dries | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
out it will then collapse. That is the danger. If you are standing | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
close to the edge and it is drying out, it could fall away. On the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Gower Peninsula, those who ventured out how to take shelter from the | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
wind. A seafront cafe was damaged for the second time in as many | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
weeks. They opened this morning after a pin-up operation. -- | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
clean-up operation. The storm knocked off some of the ball so | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
water got in. Hopefully, this has not caused more damage. Further | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
north, a tree fell on this hotel, wrecking its conservatory. It is the | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
second time this year it has been damaged. Last month, a falling tree | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
hit Mitchell Johnson play area at a nearby coastal railway line. Today, | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
David Cameron announced another ?100 billion will be available for | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
repairs, maintenance and flood protection. That is little comfort | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
here in Wales as the budget will be coming from deaf and will be for | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
England only. -- DEF RA. Britain has just experienced its | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
wettest January for more than a century, and Wales has suffered more | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
than its fair share of torrential rain. Forecasters are predicting | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
more to come without 240 millimetres of rainfall expected today, and | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
winds up to 70 mph lashing the South Wales coastline. Plans to give Wales | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
some control over income tax are in jeopardy tonight after Labour said | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
it would oppose the proposals. The Shadow Welsh Secretary, Owen | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Smith, said the Labour-run Welsh government hadn't asked for the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
power to vary income tax and wouldn't seek it in the future. The | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Conservatives say Mr Smith had changed Labour policy and, at the | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
House Commons, the Prime Minister said he wanted to see devolution go | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
further. The First Minister has been extremely clear. We did not ask for | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
income tax varying powers. He does not think it a priority for Wales, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
he does not think it will necessarily benefit Wales, and we | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
will not be seeking income tax varying powers in future. We fear | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
there is a trap being laid for Welsh people by the Conservative party. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
The Conservatives say Mr Smith had changed Labour policy and, at the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
House of Commons, the Prime Minister said he wanted to see devolution go | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
further. We are in favour of taking these further steps. We will be | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
bringing forward legislation. We will take steps and make sure that | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
people in Wales have a real say, and I want the Conservatives in Wales to | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
stand up as the low tax party in Wales. Under our devolution plan, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
that is exactly what they will do. The Welsh Conservatives say they | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
would scrap stamp duty for all properties worth up to a ?250,000 if | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
they were in power in Wales after the Assembly elections in 2016. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Stamp duty is in the process of being devolved. The Conservatives | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
say the policy would cost around ?20 million. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
A former Gwent Police officer, who was removed from front line duties | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
after a video of him arresting a pensioner was seen by millions on | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
YouTube, has been awarded more than ?400,000 in compensation. A tribunal | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
ruled senior officers made a "clear attempt" to silence Mike Baillon's | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
complaints against the force. Here's our Gwent reporter Paul Heaney. | :04:51. | :05:01. | |
71-year-old Robert drives of in his range Rover without warning. He had | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
been stopped for not wearing a seat belt, and then chased for 17 minutes | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
before Mike Baillon smashed his window to stop the pursuit. It was | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the moment that changed his police career. Ultimately, the driver was | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
the author of his own downfall, I feel. I simply wanted him to put his | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
seat belt on. It was the end of my day, I had no intention to issue | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
another fixed penalty, or to pursue him, or to break the window, or to | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
arrest him. That all came about as a result of his actions. Mr Whatley | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
was found guilty of several motoring offences and later settled out of | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
court for ?65,000 in costs and damages. It is a terrific waste of | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
public funds and money. It is about time the police were held to | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
account. Mike Baillon received threats when this video was posted | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
on the Internet. The way the incident was reported deeply | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
affected him and his family. Unfortunately, my wife suffered a | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
miscarriage a few days after the story came out in the press. I feel | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
that was brought on as a result of the stress of the way that the story | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
was reported. When he complained to senior | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
officers about the way the incident had been handled in 2009, he said | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
they failed to listen and undermined him in his job. Last year, and | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
employment tribunal ruled Mike Baillon was punished by senior | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
officers when they removed from the front line policing he loved. Now he | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
is in line for at least 430 thousand pounds in compensation for the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
police pension he lost when he felt forced to quit. Went police says it | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
is disappointed and is reflecting on the judgement. Mike Baillon is now | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
moving on, having started his own Woodcraft business, and says he | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
would rather have his old job back. A cash instalment, which the rugby | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
regions were expecting to receive for playing in the Heineken Cup, has | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
been delayed for a second time. The four regions say they're owed | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
?200,000 each from European Rugby Cup, the company which runs the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
tournament. They say it's caused them difficulties and have had to | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
make alternative arrangements to pay wages. The ERC says they'll | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
reconsider the matter on February 19th. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
On tomorrow's programme, we'll be hearing from Swansea's new head | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
coach, Garry Monk, as he faces the cameras for the first time since the | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
departure of Michael Laudrup. Monk took his first training session | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
today and has been put in charge of team affairs for the foreseeable | :07:36. | :07:36. | |
future. There's no respite from the rain and | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
wind. Here's Derek with the forecast. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
There was no sign of the weather settling down. More heavy rain and | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
gales in the forecast. It is pretty windy out there at the moment. At | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
9pm today, we recorded a gust of 60 mph. We also have 19 flood alerts in | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
force, and one flood warning. Tomorrow, I do have some good news. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
I can promise a drier day, at least for a while. Lighter winds, but | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
there is more rain on the way. The wind will slowly ease denied. Still | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
a few showers around, but turning generally drier as the night wears | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
on. Temperatures will stay above freezing. Tomorrow morning, the best | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
part of the day. You -- the wind will continue to ease. This dry | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
weather won't last, as you will see any moment. Across the rest of the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
UK, showers for Scotland. Some sunshine in Northern Ireland. Most | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
of northern England dry, but here comes the next batch of rain | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
spreading slowly northwards. We have an amber warning for rain and more | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
flooding in the southern counties of England. Strengthening winds in the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
input channel. Back to Wales, that vein is setting in by 3pm tomorrow | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
afternoon. It spreads across much of the country. The wind will be much | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
lighter tomorrow, and still feeling quite chilly. Tomorrow evening, more | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
rain to come. It will be heavy. Also some snow for the higher ground. On | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
Friday, the rain and snow will clear away, and the weather will improve | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
becoming dry up with some sunshine that wind easing. But, the respite | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
won't last. Another deep area of low pressure is heading our way for the | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
weekend. Back to square one. Heavy rain, gales and blustery showers. We | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
are not out of the woods yet. The Wales Report is next here on BBC | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
One Wales. We'll have the latest on the weather and traffic reports in | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Breakfast from 6am. That's it from the late team. Good night. | :09:55. | :09:59. |
