Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Alun Evans' family still want answers about his hospital care | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
but the First Minister says no new inquiry | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
And 7,000 homes without power as Storm Barney hits 85 mph. | :00:20. | :00:34. | |
The First Minister says there will be NO new inquiry into standards | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
of care at Bridgend's Princess of Wales Hospital. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
That's despite families at the centre of a collapsed trial | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
into neglect there saying they fear their relatives | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
The chief executive of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
has admitted he owes some families an apology | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
for any poor care their loved ones may have received. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
It left him in a coma at the Princess of Wales Hospital | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
He is also a victim of wilful neglect. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Two of the three nurses who pleaded guilty to neglecting vulnerable | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
patients admit they falsified his blood sugar records. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Alun's family is now wondering if his coma was connected to his blood | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
These nurses had to be in the ward for so long, you just came | :01:26. | :01:40. | |
to regard them as friends, then, because they are the support. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
It is just disbelief. How can somebody do that? | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
After finding out now about what the nurses have done, I was just | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
wondering whether that contributed to him staying in the coma | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Five nurses were charged with wilful neglect, but the trial of Jade Pugh | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
and Claire Cahill, who both pleaded not guilty, collapsed last month | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The remaining three - Rebecca Jones, Lauro Bertulano and Natalie Jones - | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
But some families say the neglect at the hospital went | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
They say patients were not given medication and were left without | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Karen Phillips' mother Sonia was one of the patients involved | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
I could literally see my mother wasting away before | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
I felt it would give me answers and because it collapsed, I don't have | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
those answers and I don't know that I ever will have those answers. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Karen Phillips and other relatives want a wide-ranging | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
A review, commissioned by the Welsh Government, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
was published in May last year and today, the First Minister said | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
We have recognised the issues at Princess of Wales Hospital. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
That is why of course we commissioned the Andrews Report. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
That gave us the recommendations that we needed to move forward. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
They have led to more stringent checks on hospitals, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
However, the Andrews Review did not take into account patients' | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
The Health Board says it is difficult to say | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
What we are planning to do as soon as the court case is over, | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
we are planning to write to the families affected by that | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
and invite them in - if they want to - to talk to us about concerns. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
And in that letter, there will be an apology, because | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
But those apologies don't give the much-needed closure that | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Alun Evans' family and others like them are so desperate for. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
More on this story in Week In Week Out - right after this programme. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Staying with health, the First Minister has said | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
there could be changes to the way the NHS is run in north Wales. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Betsi Cadwaladr University health board was put into special measures | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
earlier this year, following a number critical reports. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Carwyn Jones says nothing would change before next May's election | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
but "alternative options" for Betsi could be looked at. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
The Welsh Conservatives are calling for clarity. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Over 7,000 homes are without power tonight | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
as Storm Barney continues to batter the country. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Gusts of 85 mph have been recorded. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
We're getting reports from across the country of fallen trees, tiles | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
off roofs and some road closures but the worst of the storm | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Keep up to date with any road closures | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
on Radio Wales and Radio Cymru in the morning. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
A fire door could have given a family of five 30 minutes | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
of protection from a blaze which killed them all, a court has heard. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
A firefighter who was the landlord of the house | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
in Prestatyn has gone on trial charged with their manslaughter. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Jay Liptrot is accused of failing to take even basic precautions to | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
reduce the risk of fire spreading through the building in 2012. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
As one of the first firefighters at the scene, Jay Liptrot - | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
here in the middle - was praised for his valiant attempts to save | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
As a landlord, he faces five charges of manslaughter | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
These pictures show the devastation left by the blaze, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
started deliberately in October 2012 by a woman in the downstairs flat. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Melanie Smith had been involved in a long-running dispute | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
with Lee-Anna Shiers, who lived upstairs. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
The fire she set at the entrance to Miss Shiers' flat killed her, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Liam Timbrell, her partner, their 15-month-old son Charlie and Miss | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Shiers' four-year-old nephew Bailey and two-year-old niece Skye, | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
who had been sleeping over that night. | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
The prosecution say that while Melanie Smith was convicted | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
of five murders, Jay Liptrot must also carry his share | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
They say he failed to take even basic precautions to protect | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
They say no fire door was fitted, which would have given them | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
an extra 30 minutes' protection, and that windows were sealed shut. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
The prosecution say that a skylight in the upstairs flat | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
melted, creating a chimney effect, which drew fire and smoke through | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Temperatures reached 170-200 Celsius - hot enough to melt | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Lee-Anna had gone into the hottest and most toxic part of the flat | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
in an effort to save the children, but she quickly became unconscious. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Liam Timbrell was seen desperately trying to smash an upstairs window. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
The prosecution invited the jury to consider whether | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Jay Liptrot's carelessness was made worse by his 15 years' experience | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
He denies five counts of manslaughter and the trial, | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
which is expected to last for three weeks, continues. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
A former North Wales police superintendent has appeared | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
in court accused of three further child sexual offences. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Gordon Anglesea is charged with two indecent assaults | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
and a serious sexual offence relating to a boy aged under 16 | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
The 78-year-old from Old Colwyn was charged with | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
another seven child sexual offences in July. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
He is due to appear again at Mold Crown Court on Friday. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
Football, and Newport County have beaten Brackley Town 4-1 | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
in a first round FA Cup replay at Rodney Parade. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
The Welsh side will now face Barnet away in the second round next month. | :07:12. | :07:23. | |
Staying with football, Wales U21s have also been in action tonight | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
drawing 1-1 with Romania in Wrexham, | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
in their European Championships 2017 qualifier. | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
Wales went behind after just two minutes - but Wes Burns equalised | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
It means Wales remain unbeaten after five games | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
and stay top of their group, on 11 points. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Let's get the latest on Storm Barney. Derek's got the forecast. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Thanks very much, Jamie. The worst is just about over now with Storm | :07:44. | :07:56. | |
Barney moving away into the North Sea. This picture says it all, this | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
I receive very battling huge waves of Pembrokeshire. Wins as high as 85 | :08:02. | :08:16. | |
mph have been recorded at Aberdaron. We have a weather warning in force, | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
but the winds are continuing to ease. The Hulk country should end | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
the night on a dry note with temperatures between 7-10 Celsius. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Tomorrow we have another area of low pressure moving in from the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Atlantic. This one has not been given a name, but it will still pack | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
a fair punch. It will be a dry start posting, but it will not last. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Through the morning, the wind will increase again as well. Across the | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
rest of the UK, bands of rain will move eastwards during the day with | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
some heavy rain in places, accompanied by gusty winds and gales | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
in the north-west, especially western Scotland. Following the rain | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
it will brighten up with blustery showers. That cold front will move | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
south-east, bringing some heavy bursts of rain with it. Behind it, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
brightening up with sunshine, but more heavy showers coming into the | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
North. The Wings still strong, with gale force gusts and temperatures | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
above average. Tomorrow evening and overnight, some blustery showers, it | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
will continue to be fairly windy. Some dry, clear spells, as well. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Into Thursday, a few showers on the North, but more dry weather, some | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
dry spells and a little sunshine. On Friday, the risk of rain in the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
South, but that all clear, then a big change, over the weekend a taste | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
of winter with Arctic winds and wintry showers. | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
Week in Week Out is next tonight. That's Wales Today. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Thank you for watching. From all of us on the programme, goodnight. | :09:55. | :10:01. |
