Good Evening. A search is underway tonight for a

:00:12.:00:17.

kayaker missing in a river in Powys. The man was part of a group of eight

:00:18.:00:21.

experienced kayakers on the River Usk at Llangynidr, near Crickhowell,

:00:22.:00:24.

when he got into difficulty earlier this afternoon. The search is

:00:25.:00:27.

centred on a seven-mile stretch of river. The Welsh Ambulance Service,

:00:28.:00:30.

the RAF, mountain rescue teams and fire crews are all involved as Nick

:00:31.:00:36.

Palit reports. Within the past few minutes, a kayak

:00:37.:00:43.

has been found. The alarm was raised at 1pm with

:00:44.:00:46.

reports of a kayak out with a group of canoeists had got into develop --

:00:47.:00:53.

into difficulty. Police and RAF helicopters took part in the search

from above. On the ground, the Brecon Beacons bus back rescue

team... Yelena we had a call at one o'clock.

:01:05.:01:07.

We're glad on going searches with fire services and mountain rescue

:01:08.:01:15.

searching the river banks and it is continuing. We are searching from an

:01:16.:01:27.

estate down towards Gillen. Rescues have described the conditions as

:01:28.:01:30.

difficult. You can see the River Usk is swollen. The search is continuing

:01:31.:01:37.

and a section of the river has been cordoned off. The missing man's

:01:38.:01:44.

family has been informed. Heavy rain and strong winds have

:01:45.:01:47.

begun to ease across Wales, after a weekend of power cuts and transport

:01:48.:01:51.

disruption. The M4 near Swansea has reopened, after recovery teams moved

:01:52.:01:54.

a lorry which overturned on the Briton Ferry Bridge yesterday. Some

:01:55.:01:57.

roads are still blocked by floods and fallen trees, and Western Power

:01:58.:02:00.

Distribution has reconnected around 64,000 properties, after power cuts.

:02:01.:02:03.

Around 50 homes are still without power.

:02:04.:02:10.

And, after the recent damage caused by the bad weather around Wales,

:02:11.:02:13.

Week In Week Out will question whether there's enough money to

:02:14.:02:16.

repair and protect, or whether some communities will have to permanently

:02:17.:02:19.

retreat. That's this Tuesday at 10:35 on BBC One Wales.

:02:20.:02:26.

The number of Welsh students applying to study in England has

:02:27.:02:31.

risen by nearly 20% since 2010 to around 50,000. Figures from the

:02:32.:02:33.

university admissions body, UCAS, show that the total staying in Wales

:02:34.:02:37.

has fallen nearly 10% over the same period, to around 36,500. The Welsh

:02:38.:02:42.

Government says its policy of paying the bulk of students' tuition fees,

:02:43.:02:46.

wherever they study in the UK, was the most equitable it's ever had.

:02:47.:02:51.

But opposition parties are questioning it.

:02:52.:03:03.

I think we are starting to see problems with regards to investment

:03:04.:03:07.

in high education in Wales compared to England. Certainly I have been

:03:08.:03:13.

having representations from many institutions regarding the quality

:03:14.:03:16.

of living accommodation, teaching blocks and this is perhaps a pattern

:03:17.:03:22.

since the revolution -- devolution. Gary Monk says victory over Cardiff

:03:23.:03:26.

City in his first match in charge of the Swans is one of the best moments

:03:27.:03:31.

of his career. The game ended 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium last night.

:03:32.:03:32.

Natasha Llewellyn reports. He has been in charge of Swansea

:03:33.:03:48.

city for less than a week but after a 3-0 victory against Cardiff City,

:03:49.:03:54.

there was lots of praise. They're playing the way they used to play.

:03:55.:04:03.

Fantastic. Well done, Gary Monk. Fantastic. The passion and pride is

:04:04.:04:11.

back. After a slow first half, Wayne Routledge scored the first goal. He

:04:12.:04:16.

then created Nathan Dyer's headed second. Depression were on for

:04:17.:04:23.

Cardiff City. I know the club and the fans and the

:04:24.:04:27.

environment, but this is a different sort of situation. All I cared about

:04:28.:04:34.

was the club. They were magnificent. I could not be any prouder. You go

:04:35.:04:38.

into these games with heart and head. I think the passion will

:04:39.:04:42.

always be there in a game like this. He got off to a great start.

:04:43.:04:51.

We have to respond. Swansea now move up to 10th in the Premier League,

:04:52.:04:56.

six points above Cardiff who will be bottom of the league if Fulham beat

:04:57.:05:00.

Manchester United. That game has just finished 2-2,

:05:01.:05:05.

that means Cardiff are still second from bottom in the Premier League.

:05:06.:05:10.

We can look forward to a calm and quiet night compared to the one just

:05:11.:05:18.

gone, but we do have some icy patches, especially on untreated

:05:19.:05:21.

surfaces. We do have some line water. It will be so nice. Showers

:05:22.:05:29.

are coming in from the West, especially in the overnight period,

:05:30.:05:33.

and they could be wintry. Temperatures will be around the

:05:34.:05:36.

freezing murk for most of us. Some frosty patches in the morning.

:05:37.:05:42.

Wintry showers continued throughout. Some brightness in between and

:05:43.:05:46.

lighter winds than today and yesterday with highs of six to eight

:05:47.:05:52.

Celsius. We have a band of more persistent rain heading our way

:05:53.:05:55.

through Tuesday. There will be further risk of flooding. Have a

:05:56.:06:00.

good evening. I'll be back just after 10:15pm.

:06:01.:06:11.

number of severe warnings out. Most number of severe warnings out. Most

:06:12.:06:16.

of them have been
