Storm Barbara sweeps across the country.

:00:00.:00:13.

Wind more than 70 mph. It was quite frightening, really. My daughter was

:00:14.:00:26.

in her bedroom, looked out the window towards the school and utter

:00:27.:00:27.

devastation, really. The family out of their home

:00:28.:00:29.

at Christmas because the insurers won't pay-out after flooding

:00:30.:00:32.

ruined their house. Everything has just been ripped

:00:33.:00:44.

apart. And just destroyed. That is the worst thing. It has just all

:00:45.:00:50.

gone. He thought sharing his experience would bring closure.

:00:51.:00:51.

The inquiry looking into sex abuse apologises for the way

:00:52.:00:54.

Quite surprised with the Donald. Trump is in town for Black Friday.

:00:55.:01:06.

the busiest day of the year for our emergency services.

:01:07.:01:11.

The shops want it to be busy on the high streets but emergency services

:01:12.:01:17.

are hoping they will not receive too many calls.

:01:18.:01:18.

Millions invested to help ensure a better service

:01:19.:01:21.

Wind gusts reached 75mph on Anglesey and in Snowdonia today.

:01:22.:01:27.

It always seems to happen as the Christmas getaway begins,

:01:28.:01:48.

Storm Barbara raced across the country, leaving hundreds

:01:49.:01:52.

of homes without power, roads blocked, ferries cancelled.

:01:53.:01:53.

The strongest winds, of more than 70 miles an hour,

:01:54.:01:57.

Christmas shoppers braving the elements this afternoon,

:01:58.:02:06.

as Storm Barbara swept in, bringing high

:02:07.:02:08.

Lloyd Street in this town had to be closed

:02:09.:02:21.

as a precaution after scaffolding amid fears that

:02:22.:02:25.

scaffolding could come loose and high wind.

:02:26.:02:28.

Further up the coast, speed restrictions on the Britannia Bridge

:02:29.:02:31.

between Anglesey and the mainland, putting more strain on the ever

:02:32.:02:34.

The high wind also affected train services in the area,

:02:35.:02:43.

strongest gusts recorded on Anglesey.

:02:44.:02:45.

Those winds also meant fallen trees, blocked

:02:46.:02:47.

roads and power cuts for

:02:48.:02:48.

hundreds of homes across the country.

:02:49.:02:50.

Gusts of anything between 50 and 80 mph have been experienced

:02:51.:02:57.

in exposed parts of the country today and the storm also affected

:02:58.:03:00.

200 in Swansea and 200 in Carmarthenshire have also been

:03:01.:03:04.

without power in the course of today.

:03:05.:03:05.

There have also been almost 100 homes without power in Bridgend

:03:06.:03:12.

Western Power have had engineers across the

:03:13.:03:18.

country trying to get everybody back online.

:03:19.:03:20.

This school in Caernarvon felt the full force of the storm,

:03:21.:03:23.

the roof badly damaged in the high wind.

:03:24.:03:30.

All of a sudden there was this, the only way I can describe it is

:03:31.:03:33.

I ran into her and it was over in seconds, really.

:03:34.:03:44.

Towards the school and it was utter devastation, really.

:03:45.:03:48.

Half the roof had completely torn off.

:03:49.:03:49.

Just carnage is the only way I can describe it.

:03:50.:03:55.

Rough seas meant Irish ferries had to cancel six fast

:03:56.:03:57.

sailings between Holyhead and Dublin but passengers were transferred to

:03:58.:03:59.

Not the best start to the festive season, but the wind and

:04:00.:04:05.

rain will ease over the weekend, with the worst over for now.

:04:06.:04:08.

Meanwhile, a family in Maesteg will spend Christmas

:04:09.:04:10.

away from their home, after their insurers rejected

:04:11.:04:16.

a claim to clear up ?50,000 worth of flood damage caused

:04:17.:04:19.

Ocaso told the Jenkins family they hadn't declared their house

:04:20.:04:23.

Their local MP says the flood was nothing to do with the river

:04:24.:04:27.

and they're giving the insurance industry a bad name.

:04:28.:04:30.

Submerged vehicles, closed roads and ruined homes.

:04:31.:04:40.

Storm Angus hit Wales hard last month, not least

:04:41.:04:42.

Maesteg, where around 50 homes were damaged.

:04:43.:04:46.

Including that of the Jenkins family.

:04:47.:04:51.

Just looks like a bomb has been, like exploded straight in your

:04:52.:04:54.

house and just looks really messy and dirty.

:04:55.:05:09.

Everything is everywhere and really bad, really.

:05:10.:05:12.

Mark Jenkins estimates about ?50,000 of damage.

:05:13.:05:14.

The family are spending Christmas with relatives.

:05:15.:05:16.

It is utter devastation at the moment.

:05:17.:05:18.

We are lucky we have got close family

:05:19.:05:21.

to put us up, because otherwise we would effectively be homeless.

:05:22.:05:23.

But paying for the repairs has become a dispute.

:05:24.:05:26.

Insurers Ocaso have rejected the claim because Mark did

:05:27.:05:28.

not declare the house was within 200 metres of a river.

:05:29.:05:32.

Mark says he does not remember the question, but

:05:33.:05:34.

acknowledges there may have been over an oversight.

:05:35.:05:36.

But he feels the river is irrelevant compared to the

:05:37.:05:38.

During Storm Angus water was streaming off

:05:39.:05:47.

Mark's house and around 50 others behind me were damaged in the flood.

:05:48.:05:54.

The nearest river is within 200 metres of Mark's house.

:05:55.:05:57.

It is at the bottom of the hill on the other side

:05:58.:06:03.

of the main road but both he and his local Assembly Member say

:06:04.:06:06.

the river had nothing to do with the flooding.

:06:07.:06:08.

Let's treat these people with respect.

:06:09.:06:09.

It is a genuine claim for a couple and a family and their

:06:10.:06:12.

children, who are out of their home for Christmas.

:06:13.:06:14.

Their home is in devastation, show some decency, I

:06:15.:06:17.

Davies thinks others could be caught by the 200 metre rule and he wants

:06:18.:06:33.

the system to change so insurers identify how close properties

:06:34.:06:35.

are to a river rather than customers having to declare it themselves.

:06:36.:06:38.

In response the Association of British

:06:39.:06:40.

It will not comment on Mark's case but

:06:41.:06:54.

stresses the importance of customers answering questions...

:06:55.:06:59.

One month on from the floods in Maesteg, Ocaso

:07:00.:07:01.

said it is in discussions with Mark and will not comment any further.

:07:02.:07:05.

The effects are still being felt by many in the area

:07:06.:07:07.

but the future is more uncertain for some than others.

:07:08.:07:10.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse has carried out

:07:11.:07:12.

an urgent review of its service in Wales and apologised

:07:13.:07:14.

to a victim of sexual abuse for the poor support he received.

:07:15.:07:17.

When the office opened in Wales in October

:07:18.:07:19.

a victim told our reporter that he hoped for some

:07:20.:07:22.

closure by sharing his story with the inquiry.

:07:23.:07:23.

But he says he's "devastated" by the way he's been treated.

:07:24.:07:26.

Many of us have fond childhood memories of holidays by the seaside.

:07:27.:07:42.

That is not the case for everyone. Tony, not his real name, was abused

:07:43.:07:47.

on a youth summer camp in Porthcawl in the 70s by a man supposed to be

:07:48.:07:53.

looking after him. Three other men made similar accusations about the

:07:54.:07:56.

alleged abuser, who was employed as a teacher by Cardiff Council. He

:07:57.:08:02.

told us his story back in October. I became very scared of adults. My

:08:03.:08:07.

whole schooling after that basically deteriorated. It was stories like

:08:08.:08:14.

Tony's that launch the Independent enquiry into child sex abuse, set up

:08:15.:08:19.

in 2014 by then Home Secretary Theresa May, to look at abuse

:08:20.:08:24.

allegations by private and public institutions. An office opened in

:08:25.:08:28.

Cardiff two months ago and survivors like Tony were urged to come forward

:08:29.:08:33.

and share their stories. A support worker contacted Tony before his

:08:34.:08:36.

appointment and was shocked when he started crying and she spoke of her

:08:37.:08:42.

own abuse. Tony said he ended up cancelling -- counselling her. When

:08:43.:08:44.

he hung up the phone he was devastated. It was like a train

:08:45.:08:49.

running over me. I did not know what to do. You are hopeful by giving

:08:50.:08:54.

evidence you will have some kind of closure. But at the moment the wound

:08:55.:09:01.

is opened. It is open big-time. More than ever. You cannot lock it, open

:09:02.:09:08.

it and lock it and open it all the time at will. Do you have concerns

:09:09.:09:15.

for other people? Absolutely. This affects people in different ways. I

:09:16.:09:19.

have been quite strong. You don't know who is out there. The people

:09:20.:09:24.

coming forward, they could be suicidal. By the outcome. When the

:09:25.:09:31.

office opened in Cardiff in October Professor Alexis J denied the quarry

:09:32.:09:36.

-- in quarry was in crisis despite being the fourth chairwoman in two

:09:37.:09:42.

years. -- enquiry. There has been criticism the remit is too broad. I

:09:43.:09:50.

think it has gone beyond the reach of any successful or positive

:09:51.:09:54.

outcome. I think that is very sad for those who have witnessed that

:09:55.:10:00.

from the beginning. Because yet again it is potentially another

:10:01.:10:03.

negative outcome as a result of their disclosures. An urgent review

:10:04.:10:08.

was carried out after Tony complain. He received an apology and the

:10:09.:10:11.

enquiry says changes have been made to make sure this does not happen to

:10:12.:10:17.

anyone else. Tony Hadley three other men are pursuing civil claims

:10:18.:10:20.

against Cardiff Council for damages. -- and the three other men. The

:10:21.:10:23.

council said it takes the allegations very seriously but

:10:24.:10:26.

cannot comment on the case while it is ongoing. Tony has still not given

:10:27.:10:31.

his evidence but he hopes the new year will bring some closure to the

:10:32.:10:34.

memories that afforded him for decades.

:10:35.:10:38.

The Archbishop of Wales has used his Christmas message to call

:10:39.:10:43.

for people to respond to events like the Brexit vote

:10:44.:10:45.

and the election of Donald Trump with "tolerance and grace".

:10:46.:10:48.

Dr Barry Morgan says 2016 has been an extraordinary year -

:10:49.:10:50.

with the civil war in Syria and the growing refugee crisis

:10:51.:10:53.

showing we live in a world that "seems at times to be

:10:54.:10:56.

There are 65 million refugees. Syria is in meltdown. People are torn

:10:57.:11:08.

apart in this country by the Brexit vote. America has a president who

:11:09.:11:14.

has made the rocketry remarks about women, Mexicans, foreigners in

:11:15.:11:21.

general. -- the rocketry. Christians build bridges, not walls. --

:11:22.:11:26.

inappropriate remarks. Enough divides us already.

:11:27.:11:27.

They're calling it Frenzied Friday - potentially the busiest day

:11:28.:11:30.

of the year for our emergency services and our high streets.

:11:31.:11:33.

Millions are said to be hitting the shops to pick-up last-minute

:11:34.:11:35.

gifts and heading to the pub with friends and family.

:11:36.:11:40.

In a moment - Roger Pinney on the Welsh retailers

:11:41.:11:42.

as they hope for brisk business, but first Rhiannon Wilkins with

:11:43.:11:46.

Starting early. This stag do is making the most of the last Friday

:11:47.:12:01.

before Christmas. I will try and make the night. That is what I will

:12:02.:12:04.

try and do. I probably will not make it. Make Christmas great again!

:12:05.:12:11.

Black Fridays have been a pretty black as far as the memory is

:12:12.:12:18.

concerned! They are on their best behaviour. But not everybody hitting

:12:19.:12:22.

the streets in the next 48 hours will have such military discipline.

:12:23.:12:28.

For months police forces across Wales have been prepared for

:12:29.:12:30.

potential incidents over the festive period and in Cardiff, it is called

:12:31.:12:37.

operation mistletoe. City centre is getting busy. Not many people out

:12:38.:12:41.

stringing at the moment but by about five or six o'clock that will

:12:42.:12:45.

change. Chief Inspector Jacqueline Johnson has been with south Wales

:12:46.:12:50.

police 21 years. We will be bringing an extra 40 police officers only for

:12:51.:12:54.

the city centre. The street parties have increased their numbers.

:12:55.:12:58.

Licensees will be working to capacity with bar staff. The alcohol

:12:59.:13:03.

treatment centre as extra staff. It is almost double at least compared

:13:04.:13:06.

to normal Friday Saturday night in the city centre. We are expecting a

:13:07.:13:12.

busy one. These are some of the team, medical staff, licensing

:13:13.:13:15.

officers and public transport officers as well as police are all

:13:16.:13:18.

involved in trying to keep everything under control. It is at

:13:19.:13:24.

this centre in the middle of Cardiff there is one worse for wear this

:13:25.:13:28.

evening will be brought. When the first person comes in you are always

:13:29.:13:31.

ready for the next one. Having them here makes a big impact to the main

:13:32.:13:36.

unit and everything out of the street for the other emergency

:13:37.:13:40.

services as well. The emergency services know they are in for a busy

:13:41.:13:43.

few days but with months of preparation and place they hope this

:13:44.:13:48.

Black Friday will pass without too much of a hangover. What is it to

:13:49.:13:56.

be? Out with a last-minute gift and today braving the edge of Storm

:13:57.:14:01.

Barbara to do it? Was this particular high street a little more

:14:02.:14:05.

quiet than usual? The weather, perhaps, or something else? At the

:14:06.:14:10.

last minute I will go and get it because you cannot get it in the

:14:11.:14:13.

post, you're not always guaranteed so I thought I would come and see

:14:14.:14:16.

what I can get. What are you looking for? Cannot say in case my wife

:14:17.:14:23.

sees! High street or Internet, Meena Lee? High street. Why is that? I

:14:24.:14:31.

like to see things in my hand before I purchase. Something for my

:14:32.:14:36.

daughter. A little warmer. Not much, actually. I am sorry. Do you shop on

:14:37.:14:42.

the high street or Internet? Mainly on the high street. You can see what

:14:43.:14:46.

you are buying. It'll be a while before the retailers tell us how

:14:47.:14:50.

they have done this Christmas. Anecdotally high streets have been a

:14:51.:14:54.

little more quiet. Is that because we are spending less or perhaps

:14:55.:14:58.

shopping differently? Maybe a bit of both. The signs are ominous,

:14:59.:15:04.

according to the retail Consortium, footfall dropped in November

:15:05.:15:10.

compared to last year. The Centre for retail research suggested

:15:11.:15:12.

spending across Christmas as a whole has been well below expectations.

:15:13.:15:17.

Retailers hope this is a week to steal a march on mail order sales.

:15:18.:15:23.

We see a greater growth of footfall in the last week because customers

:15:24.:15:26.

really need to get hold of that product, that get, because they

:15:27.:15:29.

cannot go into Christmas Day without it. The risk factor for many is they

:15:30.:15:33.

would rather come into the shops and by that product. The big stores in

:15:34.:15:39.

the biggest city can fight back. What about smaller shopping centres

:15:40.:15:45.

across Wales? We are seeing evidence all year, the last 18 months, that

:15:46.:15:51.

shops are closing and the secondary high-street footfall is falling.

:15:52.:15:54.

They have had a difficult time for a decade. One day left of shopping for

:15:55.:16:01.

Christmas 2016. The sales are next. In some places they have already

:16:02.:16:02.

started. You're watching Wales Today

like this clean, safe business, can be vitally important

:16:41.:16:54.

to your health. As 19-year-old Molly

:16:55.:16:55.

Ormond is all too aware. There was arguments,

:16:56.:17:04.

a fight broke out Why I did not walk out when I saw

:17:05.:17:11.

that I still don't know. She had her piercing in the wrong

studio and had to be tested for hepatitis and HIV after other

:17:22.:17:24.

customers developed I was nervous, I was scared

:17:25.:17:26.

I had all these things running through my

:17:27.:17:34.

head, as you would. You never think you will ever go

:17:35.:17:35.

through something like that. Molly went here,

:17:36.:17:42.

the Sun Tattoo Studio. There's a sign saying it's

:17:43.:17:44.

under new management. It was also known as Blue Voodoo -

:17:45.:17:46.

and Flesh Wound. Four customers were hospitalised

:17:47.:17:52.

after infections from ear piercings. The owner, John Cochran,

:17:53.:18:01.

pleaded guilty to health and safety offences and was given a 16 week

:18:02.:18:04.

suspended prison sentence. The investigation led

:18:05.:18:12.

to the Aneurin Bevan Health Board testing hundreds of people

:18:13.:18:14.

for blood-borne viruses. They attended specially set up

:18:15.:18:17.

clinics where they were checked for things like Hepatitis B and C

:18:18.:18:20.

- and HIV. She's now taken that piercing out

:18:21.:18:22.

and is glad Cochran has I feel that it's been

:18:23.:18:29.

a long time coming. It's been probably one big

:18:30.:18:35.

roller-coaster ride, He's definitely got

:18:36.:18:36.

what he deserves. Cochran has had his tattoo

:18:37.:18:43.

and piercing licence taken off him ? and there are calls to tighten

:18:44.:18:46.

the rules - to protect more

:18:47.:18:48.

people in the future. ?4.5 million will be spent improving

the Ambulance Service's The Welsh Government investment aims

to ensure ambulances are deployed to life-threatening calls faster

and better co-ordination Ambulance service, what's the full

:19:07.:19:08.

address of the emergency? In every direction

:19:09.:19:13.

you look there is a computer screen at

:19:14.:19:19.

the contact centre. It may look modern, but

:19:20.:19:23.

the infrastructure which keeps the biggest ambulance control room

:19:24.:19:26.

in the country running is from a The system is the bridge

:19:27.:19:28.

between the 999 call takers and allocators that send

:19:29.:19:31.

ambulances to patients. It is a system we are

:19:32.:19:34.

maintaining and it is a safe system, but it is time now

:19:35.:19:37.

to move to a 21st-century system. The service will now

:19:38.:19:43.

get that opportunity to move on thanks to

:19:44.:19:45.

a ?4.5 million investment

:19:46.:19:47.

in its technology. The new system will be introduced

:19:48.:19:51.

at all three contact centres across the country here,

:19:52.:19:54.

replacing the system which was based It is going to pull

:19:55.:19:57.

everything together, help contact centre staff to identify

:19:58.:20:09.

the call and the most appropriate resource and also give them a range

:20:10.:20:13.

of options to make sure they send the most appropriate resource

:20:14.:20:16.

and the nearest resource. Response time targets

:20:17.:20:19.

were scrapped last year for all apart from the most serious,

:20:20.:20:24.

immediately life-threatening calls. The latest figures released at

:20:25.:20:30.

the end of last month show 77.1% of responses to red calls arrived

:20:31.:20:33.

within eight minutes. The new dispatch computer system

:20:34.:20:35.

could improve those response times That marginal improvement

:20:36.:20:42.

should make a really big difference for people who really

:20:43.:20:45.

need a fast response. It should also ensure

:20:46.:20:49.

there is better coordination between emergency services

:20:50.:20:51.

on major incidents as well. Can you see the patient

:20:52.:20:55.

from where you are? Can you confirm they

:20:56.:20:57.

are awake, conscious Call centres will use

:20:58.:20:59.

the trusty system which has served for over 15 years

:21:00.:21:10.

but the new technology will be rolled out at

:21:11.:21:14.

control centres by the end of next year, ensuring

:21:15.:21:16.

best, but we are playing at Swansea... They hit form at home.

:23:14.:23:22.

But I am really expecting us now to continue.

:23:23.:23:23.

Bob Bradley will have to wait until Boxing Day to see

:23:24.:23:25.

For now, he's still feeling the Christmas spirit.

:23:26.:23:33.

Rugby - and Wales wing George North says he wants to continue

:23:34.:23:43.

playing for years to come, despite his latest head injury.

:23:44.:23:45.

A review found the 24-year-old should not have played

:23:46.:23:47.

on for Northampton after a knock to the head earlier this month.

:23:48.:23:50.

The wing says he'd like to emulate Wales' record cap

:23:51.:23:53.

Meanwhile, Sam Warburton is about to set his own record -

:23:54.:23:56.

making his 100th appearance for the Cardiff Blues when they host

:23:57.:23:59.

Newport Gwent Dragons in the Pro12 Boxing Day derby.

:24:00.:24:01.

The 28-year-old will continue as captain.

:24:02.:24:03.

Prop Gethin Jenkins is still out injured.

:24:04.:24:07.

And organisers of the Welsh Grand National say they're confident

:24:08.:24:12.

the race will go ahead on schedule after three of the last

:24:13.:24:14.

This year's event is on Tuesday 27th December at Chepstow Racecourse

:24:15.:24:19.

with more than 100 riders racing for a prize of ?150,000.

:24:20.:24:24.

Hopefully the weather will be much better than today

:24:25.:24:26.

Derek is here with the Christmas forecast.

:24:27.:24:30.

Next Tuesday looks promising, fine and settled with light winds.

:24:31.:24:38.

A different story today of course thanks to Storm Barbara.

:24:39.:24:41.

The wind strong enough in places to cause some damage and bring

:24:42.:24:44.

down trees like this one near Bangor in Gwynedd.

:24:45.:24:51.

Storm Barbara is currently centred near Iceland with severe gales

:24:52.:25:03.

Here in Wales the worst is now over but in the North West a yellow

:25:04.:25:09.

wind warning remains in force until midnight.

:25:10.:25:11.

A lot of dry weather but a few showers, especially

:25:12.:25:15.

Feeling cold but too much wind for any frost.

:25:16.:25:25.

But clouding over in the afternoon with some rain in the north

:25:26.:25:35.

and northwest, especially on the mountains.

:25:36.:25:42.

Top temperatures nine to 11 Celsius, feeling chilly in the brisk wind.

:25:43.:25:45.

Tomorrow night Santa may have a bumpy ride

:25:46.:25:48.

Some rain and drizzle too, especially on high ground.

:25:49.:26:02.

The chart for Christmas Day shows another deep low near Iceland

:26:03.:26:04.

and that has been named Conor by the Met Office.

:26:05.:26:07.

The strongest winds to the north of Wales with warnings in force.

:26:08.:26:10.

So Christmas Day mostly cloudy, very mild and windy.

:26:11.:26:12.

Some dry weather as well with some rain spreading

:26:13.:26:15.

If Hawarden in Flintshire reaches 15 Celsius, which is possible that

:26:16.:26:19.

would be a new record for Christmas Day in Wales.

:26:20.:26:23.

A few showers in the north and breezy.

:26:24.:26:27.

Boxing Day night clear, cold and frosty and there's more dry

:26:28.:26:34.

and settled weather to come next week thanks to high pressure

:26:35.:26:37.

So better weather tomorrow if you're travelling.

:26:38.:26:42.

No white Christmas, but some dry weather if you fancy a walk

:26:43.:26:44.

We'll have updates for you throughout

:26:45.:26:54.

From all of us on the team, thanks for watching.

:26:55.:26:58.

And to play us out tonight, here's Tongwynlais Temperance Band.
