Preparations are underway to help protect homes and motorists as more

bad weather is forecast to hit Wales on Wednesday -

There was chaos in parts of North Wales over the weekend,

with homes evacuated, and the A55 dual carriageway

shut for hours. Nick Palit reports.

Sifting through the flood damaged memories of a lifetime, Evan Hughes

is having to throw out many of his mother's treasured photographs after

water ravaged these homes in the village near Banga. Unfortunately,

householders here know what to do in these circumstances. It is the

second time this has happened in three years.

We decided to lift the 3-piece and the two chairs onto the table, and

then within half an hour, the water was about 18 inches high off the

floor of the house. Villagers say they were nowhere near

a river, but they are the victims of flood water running off the nearby

A55 dual carriageway. They local assembly member says that last time

this happened, the Welsh Assembly pledged action to make sure it would

never happen again. There is a scheme, a million that

they hire scheme, but the Welsh government has so far refused to

supply the funds necessary to protect these homes and to protect

the A55. The Welsh government say they have

committed almost ?300 billion to managing flood risk, which includes

significant investment in North Wales. They say they will work with

local authorities to see what additional action can be taken to

protect homes. With more torrential rain forecast, householders in

southern parts of Wales are now on alert.

We are getting forecast of a lots of rain on Wednesday, so with the

ground already quite wet, and because of the rain we have had,

river levels could rise quite quickly. So we are monitoring the

situation quite closely, but it will be mostly south Wales that will be

affected this time, and not North Wales.

And there's one flood warning in place tonight

for the Lower Dee Valley and nine other flood alerts.

A terminally ill mother has made a plea to her son's killers,

to tell her where his remains are buried.

Kyle Vaughan, from Newbridge, near Caerphilly, vanished

three years ago. Anna Bailey reports.

Kyle Vaughan's family are spending their third Christmas without him.

The 24-year-old disappeared in 2012, and a police search quickly turned

into a murder investigation. His body was never found, eight people

investigated were all released without charge. It is likely to be

his mother Mary's last Christmas. Her liver cancer has progressed, and

doctors say she could have weeks left to live.

If somebody has done something to him, they know what has happened to

him, and I would just like them to come forward and say. You know, put

yourself in my shoes. What would they feel like, if they were going

to die and their son or daughter was dead and they didn't know where they

were? Kyle was last seen at around 11pm on

December 30, 2012. His silver Peugeot was found crashed on the

A467. It is not known if he was driving at the time. Police believe

several people know what happened to Kyle.

I would appeal to those individuals that are currently spending time

with their families, to stop, take a moment, and to put themselves in

Mary's shoes, and to think about the next few months that this family are

facing. Detectives have collected nearly 400

statements over the course of their investigation, and are asking for

any witnesses to call Crimestoppers. For Kyle's family, time is of the

essence. against Crystal Palace
