Roads were turned into reverse, homes evacuated. But as ?15 million | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
flood defences are officially opened on the other side, some residents | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
are not happy. B they started building a new ball and we haven't | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
even got a wall down here. There's nothing to prevent it happening | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
again. We have that 60 assembly members. Tonight there are calls to | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
increase the number to 100. Nanny state interfering on the Government | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
looking at the new? The row over banning e-cigarettes and public | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
places. The Swansea Valley residents left without male after the poster | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
is cornered by a dog. Swansea city dismiss reports suggesting manager | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Garry Monk is about to be sacked. He was denied a gold medal for years | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
because of a drugs cheat. Jamie Baulch says the latest scandal to | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
engulf athletics is eroding the credibility of the sport. | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
A ?15 million flood defence scheme has been officially opened in | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
West Rhyl - but victims of a storm surge to the east of | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
the town have told this programme they're angry that little has been | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
The Welsh Government says it's making thousands more properties | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Matthew Richards has spent the day in Rhyl. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Two years ago, Ivonne and Jeff Cowan showed us how flooding had ruined | :01:45. | :01:59. | |
They lost photographs, wedding albums and were forced to | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
It's just absolutely fabulous, as you can see. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Today they are back after a complete refurbishment. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
But they say they are angry that the East End of Rhyl is still | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
We don't want it to happen again but we feel as | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Everything has been done in the west end of Rhyl and nothing in the east | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
end to give us peace of mind, and that is all we want, peace of mind. | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
From Splash Point up to the far end of the west end. | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
There was no flooding and no chance of them getting flooding and they | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
started building a new wall and we haven't even got a wall here. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
There's nothing to prevent it happening again and it could | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Just down the coast in the west end of Rhyl, Natural Resources Minister | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Carl Sergeant is unveiling flood defences that are part of the | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Strengthening the sea wall and other improvements have cost ?15 | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
million - a fraction of the spend in the east so far. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
We have invested ?800,000 recently in the area of Rhyl. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
It is not over for this area and we're taking our responsibilities | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
seriously and the Welsh Government is continuing with its investment | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
and there will be more to come for that particular area. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
We've got to cover the whole coastline, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
that is a hugely important programme, but these are costly. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
This week sees the completion of the ?7 million scheme to protect | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
400 properties in Gwyneth by completing a channel for flood | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Back in Denbighshire, work will continue for some time. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
With new rock and sea walls and a diversion to the river, this | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
part of Rhyl now has three lines of defence against future flooding, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
The Council and the Welsh Government acknowledge there is still plenty | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
of work to be done elsewhere in the town. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
We've had some money to do the work starting now to divert | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
We are producing further plans which the Welsh Government will | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
expect from us that will help us to get additional funding to raise | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
The Cowans and neighbours have patched up their homes and moved | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
They say the authorities need to do much more | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Politicians in Westminster and Cardiff Bay could end up | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
constantly fighting over powers and laws in the Supreme Court. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
That's the message tonight from the First Minister Carwyn Jones. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
He says having a new plan on the table is a great opportunity to sort | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
out who runs what, but as things stand a lasting agreement between | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Our political editor Nick Servini is at the Senedd. | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
There is a well-documented criticism of this plan on the table from the | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
First Minister and he's keeping the pressure up. He is. He talked about | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
the new and unnecessary regulations when he addressed a committee of MPs | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
today. Even went so far as to say that whoever wins the Assembly | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
elections next year will not be any position to deliver on their | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
manifesto pledges because of the lack of clarity on this issue. These | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
proposals, which all form part of what is called the. After Wales Bill | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
are designed to the Assembly boss 's powers, but the real sticking point | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
is the attempt to redefine who does what. Lots of politicians here in | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Cardiff Bay say instead of pushing forward because of devolution, it is | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
putting things into reverse because of what they say is the extent of | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
what they say is the extent there needs. The members of the | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
Conservatives party say this is a perfectly fair way of clearing up | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
the mess. All day today we have had a very detailed difficult | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
discussions of various committees into what is planned. As one Labour | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
honourable member put it, we were stealing our way through the | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
constitutional jungle. I think it will feel like that fully few more | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
months to come. We also learn today what opposition party members | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
thought of having more Assembly members. A much simpler part of the | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
bill is the Assembly gets the ability to control how many | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
honourable members they are. Leanne Wood for Plaid Cymru felt the | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
current 60 could be increased to between 80 and 100. Kirsty Williams | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
for the Liberal Democrats felt there should be an increase, but it would | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
have to run along a reduction in the number of MPs. The leader of the bus | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Conservatives said an increase in the number of honourable members | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
with lead to better scrutiny of Government. They were all heading in | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
one direction. But how do you sell out to the public? As one MP put it | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
today, he knocked on thousands of doors any general election campaign | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
and no one told him they wanted more politicians. This will be a big | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
debate in the years ahead. News breaking that the behind-the-scenes | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
documentary and the Assembly will not go ahead because of concerns | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
from Labour. BBC and ITV wanted to do this documentary. The Presiding | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Officer Rosemary Butler, who famously blocked James Bond film | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
makers from filming scenes here, said she was very excited about | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
that, but to make a statement from Welsh Labour said the proposal lacks | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
detail. It would cause disruption, in other words they didn't like it | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
at all and that prompted a response from the Liberal Democrats to say | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
this was an example of Welsh Labour lacking transparency. Thank you. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
A terminally-ill woman from Swansea has had assistance to end her life | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Jackie Baker, who was 59 and had motor neurone disease, had asked her | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
daughters to help her travel to the Dignitas clinic to die. They | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
later cancelled a fundraising event - after a visit from the police. | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
The family are now calling for a change in the law on assisted dying. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
The Secretary State for Wales says there should be no limits to north | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Wales' ambition when it comes to the northern powerhouse. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Stephen Crabb was visiting the site of the new Wrexham prison, | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
which will create a thousand jobs for the region. | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
He says Welsh business leaders should ensure that economic growth | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
in the cities of the north of England benefits north Wales. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
We do see it as very much integral to the northern powerhouse vision. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
This exciting vision that unites together exciting things happening | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
at an economic and political level in Greater Manchester and the cities | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
of the north, but recognises that the north Welsh economy is part of | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
that and we want to see north Wales capture all | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
of causing grievous bodily harm in Aberystwyth after a man suffered | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
The incident happened in the Academy Pub on Halloween. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
The man has been bailed while the police carry out further enquiries. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
The Tory leader in Wales describing Welsh government plans to ban | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
It's a major part of a package of measures designed to improve | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
But the Conservative leader says banning e-cigarettes wouldn't save | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
He's not one of the thousands of people | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
in Wales who use e-cigarettes, but the Tory leader says outlawing | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Banning people from vaping in enclosed public spaces is the most | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
controversial part of the Welsh Government's public-health bill. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
There would be a licensing system for tattooing and piercing, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
a clamp-down on selling tobacco to under 18s through a register of | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
shops, and local councils would have to develop a public toilet strategy. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
The Welsh Government says e-cigarettes risk normalising | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
smoking and 40 other countries have already taken similar steps. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
They would be restricted in enclosed areas in the same way | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
We've worked so hard here in Wales to make sure people here in Wales | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
don't begin the journey of being addicted to tobacco. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
We want to make sure e-cigarettes don't do that in future and | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
if we don't succeed in that there will be people in future who | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
otherwise would not have been addicted to tobacco with all the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
The Welsh Conservatives say e-cigarettes help regular smokers | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
wean themselves off tobacco and say ministers are just acting | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
I don't think the Government have put a persuasive case forward. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Ultimately, what we have to do is ask ourselves, | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
And it does actually seem they are doing it just | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
because they can do it, rather than for any real public health concerns | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Many other organisations have taken up arms against the bill, including | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Public Health England says e-cigarette are 95% less | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
The Welsh bill is also opposed by the anti-smoking charity Ash, | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Lining up to support the move are Public Health Wales, | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
local health boards and the British Medical Association. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
We just don't know what the effects of having | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
our children taking up e-cigarettes with nicotine in it, which after all | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
We just don't know what the long-term effects of that will be. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Down the road from the e-cigarette shop, they've | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
Most of the people we spoke to didn't support a nationwide ban. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
I think they should be allowed to smoke them, even | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
People are outside smoking cigarettes now | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
and you're passive smoking with them smoking cigarettes. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
They are just a little bit of vapour, they don't harm anyone. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
My sister suffers from asthma and she can't cope with e-cigarettes. | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
For her position, she'd have to leave. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
As things stand, I could use this out here or back in the shop. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
But really it's the pubs, cafes and restaurants on roads | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
like this that will feel the affect if this ban does come in. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Labour doesn't have a majority in the Assembly, the opposition | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
parties are sceptical and Labour will have to do a deal with one | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
Some people living in a village in the Swansea Valley have been | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
told not to expect any mail until it's safe to deliver there | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
again, after the local postwoman was cornered by a dog. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Around 70 homes in Ystalyfera are affected, and residents now have to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
travel five miles to pick up post at the nearest sorting office. | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Royal Mail has apologised, but says dog attacks are | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
New Christmas decorations are already up in wow, with a Christmas | :12:53. | :13:12. | |
card may not arrive on time. Last Monday, a post woman was left | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
terrified a large dog that was loose on the road. Deliveries have been | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
suspended ever since. Cat spent is one of the people affected. My | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
immediate concern was for the elderly people in the street, the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
disabled people, and that young mothers as well trying to keep | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
things together and it is not Beverly Hills, we're not rich people | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
around here. It is in cutting costs travelling, which is about five | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
miles away. We are very upset this has happened and in no way do we | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
condone this dog attack. It is very upsetting, especially for the person | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
involved. I do think Royal Mail should have carefully considered the | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
impact on the local residents. There are lots of shops and businesses | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
here on the high street, and some of the people who have had their post | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
Stockport and alternative collection point can be arranged to avoid a 5 | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
journey. Up it is quite far away, especially for a lot of older | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
people. But this former postman says he understands why the service has | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
been suspended. On a couple of occasions I was chased down gardens | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
by dogs in the after. One of my colleagues was injured when a dog | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
came through the glass. Royal Mail says it appreciates the | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
inconvenience to people here, but in the last year there were 140 attacks | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
on postmenopausal women Wales. In area court which covers here there | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
were 19 dog attacks. Despite this being one of the busiest times of | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
year for Post, Royal Mail is confident it is doing the right | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
thing. We have to prioritise staff safety which is what we're doing | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
here. At the same time, we are keen to resume normal deliveries as | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
quickly as possible and we will do this by using constructively with | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
the. 'S or, making sure he understands his responsibilities and | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
making the area safe. Cat spent is making up a business selling | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
decorations. She hopes the situation is resolved soon to make sure she | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
can send and receive orders before Christmas. | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
No swansong just yet - Swansea manager Garry Monk is expected to be | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
in charge against Bournemouth, but he badly needs a win. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
And over half a month's rain has fallen | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
flood alerts and warnings in force, with more rain on the way. | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
The family of a teenager who died in the Millpond | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
in Pembroke want to see more safety features around the water. | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
18-year-old Robert Mansfield was celebrating his birthday | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
when he went into the pond surrounding the town's castle. | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
He is the third person to die at the beauty spot this year. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
This is the spot where her nephew lost his life - | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
As a family, it's brought us closer together, | :16:15. | :16:27. | |
Robert Mansfield had just turned 18 and had been out celebrating with | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
friends when he decided to try and swim across the pond. | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
Sadly, Robert Mansfield's death was not unique. | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
In fact, he was one of three this year to die | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
here at the Millpond, and now his family would like to see more | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
safety barriers put up to prevent others from entering the water. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
Robert's aunt says he had been drinking that day. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Alcohol also played a part in another of the deaths. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
But she believes if it had been harder | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
for him to get down to the water, her nephew may not have tried. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
It was his 18th birthday so obviously he had consumed | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
alcohol, but I think if it there been some sort | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
of obstacle he would have thought, no, and he wouldn't have bothered. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
They've discussed fencing in certain areas. | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
Netting put up, and also lighting, as it is quite dark. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Mrs Mansfield has now launched a petition after | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
the council rejected the family's calls for more permanent structures | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
But the authorities say they are looking into other improvements - | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
more lifebelts have been added around the pond, along with plans to | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
We are pushing in conjunction with Pembrokeshire | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
County Council to get more signage, awareness, buoyancy aids. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
So we are doing our bit to work with the council to try and do something. | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
An inquest into Mr Mansfield's death is due to be held later this month. | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
Swansea City are dismissing reports suggesting the imminent departure | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
The Swans lost again on Saturday - they're 14th in the Premier League | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
- five points above the relegation zone. | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
It's been reported the Swansea board are unhappy with | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
the club's recent form, which has seen just one win in nine games. | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Live now to the Liberty Stadium and our sports reporter Iwan Griffiths. | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
There's a sign above me here, Tomos, announcing the next fixture which, | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
And having been in contact with the club today we understand that Garry | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
Monk is expected to be in charge of Swansea City for the game in the | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
But with just one league win since August the result | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
of that game could have a significant impact on his future. | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
Garry Monk was in Norwich on Saturday watching | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
The 70th minute goal leading to a disappointing 1-0 defeat. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Swansea City have gathered just five points from the last 24 on offer. | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
We talked about it at half-time, the way they were set up | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
We never looked in any danger and it was about being patient. | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Unfortunately one lapse of concentration has cost us dearly | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
and that's pretty much been the story of the last few weeks | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
which is frustrating, both for myself and the players. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
Following the game, the Swansea keeper said the players have full | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
confidence in their manager, despite newspaper reports this morning that | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
It's been reported the Swansea board are unhappy with | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
the club's recent form, which has seen just one win in nine games. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
But a senior source has told BBC Wales of his surprise | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
At the Liberty Club Shop today there were mixed feelings when it came to | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
The way we're playing at the moment, I wouldn't lose any sleep | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
It's lacklustre, there's no direction. | :20:27. | :20:38. | |
We had 60% possession and didn't have one attempt on target. | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
I think that what we need to go and give him our support. | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
He's been there for a long time and I feel he needs more time. | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
Monk's dismissal would be a dramatic change of fortunes | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
for the 36 year old, who back in August was named the Premier | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
The Swans are currently 14th in the Barclays Premier League table. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
Relegation is a long way away, but the chairman will be driving to | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
A new ?5 billion TV rights deal will bring significant funds to | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
I think they were caught by surprise by these rumours | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
It doesn't look as if Garry Monk's departure is imminent. | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
That said, Michael Laudrup before Garry Monk was sacked after | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
one win in ten, while Garry Monk is starting to reach that area now. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
I think it makes the Bournemouth home game a fairly big game for him. | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
Garry Monk did admit after Saturday's defeat that he was | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
at a low point, but confident of turning things around. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
It's unclear exactly how much time he hands to do that. | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
One more piece of Swansea City news for you. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
And the Spanish striker Michu has left the club after agreeing | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
He was the club's top scorer in 2012-13 with 22 goals | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
What Garry Monk would do to have a striker in that kind | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
Now, when it comes to managers, Swansea City have had | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
But the chairman Huw Jenkins has been praised in the past for | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
It appears that he is sticking with Monk for now. | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
Newport County will find out later which team they could face | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
The draw is live over on BBC Two wales after this programme. | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
They'll first have to beat Brackley Town in a replay after | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
Newport were 2-0 up against the non-league side, but a header from | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Curtis McDonald in the 95th minute means both sides will have to do | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
The former World Athletics Champion Jamie | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Baulch says the sport has lost a lot of credibility and tougher sanctions | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Baulch was speaking after a major report on doping in athletics | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
recommended that Russian athletes be banned from all competitions. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
He's one of Wales' best-known athletes, | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
and for years he was denied a gold medal he rightly deserves. | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
Now this latest scandal, Jamie Baulch told me is eroding | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
That's why I don't think is the great sport, they say | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
We've got Jess Ennis, Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford, massive icons, and | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
Greg would be the first to admit this, he's won every championship, | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
Olympics, World Championships, European, Commonwealth games, he | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
could walk around the streets and people still don't know who he is. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
20 years ago with Daley Thompson and Linford Christie and all them, | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Because their profiles aren't that high because people aren't watching | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
the sport like they used to because I think people are sick | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Back in 1997, Jamie Baulch was part of the Great Britain 4x4 | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
But more than ten years after the race, | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
one of the American team admitted he'd been taking performance | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
They were subsequently stripped of their title and that medal | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
finaly received their medals in 2010. | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
Not in front of 80,000 fans, but a handful of dignitaries. | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Balch suspected one in every five athletes were cheating | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
The sanctions, he says, are not severe enough. | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
The testing regime has never been great. | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
There will always be doctors out there who are outwitting the | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
What we need to do is target it a different way. | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
A longer ban and don't endorse athletes who have | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
If they get caught they've got to give all their money back. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
It's not just about penalising the athletes. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
According to one of the greatest para-lympians of our time. | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
Tanni Grey-Thompson says coaches and others around the athletes | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
The sport, she says, need to look beyond the athletes, as they don't | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
He says drastic action is required to protect the sport he loves. | :25:25. | :25:53. | |
Rain has fallen in the last 24 hours. The new flood defences are | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
being well truly tested. There are nine flood alerts. Tonight will | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
continue breezy or Wednesday with more rain and drizzle as well. The | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
rain most persistent on high ground and somewhat drier in the East. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Unusually mild temperatures. Here is the picture for 8am. Cloudy and damp | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
or even wet and places. Low cloud and health. Strong winds on exposed | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
coast and hells. In the north and east of high ground around 15 | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
Celsius. During the day there will be further outbreaks of rain and | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
drizzle. Weight, high ground. Drier to the north and east. Above average | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
temperatures. 14 Celsius. Tomorrow night and into winds the winds will | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
ease. For the rain and drizzle, heavy rain in the north and | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
north-west, turning drier and the South. Enter Wednesday and it is a | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
breezy with spots of drizzle. The odd glimpse or two of sun but into | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
the evening more persistent rain will start to spread its way down | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
from the north-west. On Wednesday night the rain will clear. Thursday | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
morning looks dry and bright but it won't last with more rain expected | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
in the afternoon and evening and the winds also picking up. Generally | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
mild but called on Friday. Here is another picture from one of our | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
