Is social care here at 'Tipping Point?' - | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
the call for urgent action to avert a catastrophe before Christmas. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Six months after the collapse of the Didcot Power Station, | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Christopher Huxtable is still missing. | :00:16. | :00:16. | |
People who are cared for in their own homes | :00:17. | :00:41. | |
if urgent action isn't taken. a "winter of discontent" | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
of Care Forum Wales - which represents care providers. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Mario Kreft says funding and recruitment shortages, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
combined with an ageing population could lead to a "catastrophe" | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
An art and craft session for residents of | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Elderly and disabled people here are encouraged | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
to indulge their creative side as part of a wide programme | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
But a senior figure in the care industry says that creative thinking | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
is also urgently needed to stop a catastrophe | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
You can only innovate if you're working with partners. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Currently, the relationship between the sector, generally | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
speaking, and health boards and local authorities | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
And local authorities is not where it should be. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
We want to see those organisations and regulators | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
led by the Welsh government, trying to make some sense of this. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
If we don't we going to have real winter of discontent. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Mario Kreft says a lack of investment combined with a major | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
increase in the number of over-85s in the next 20 years | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
plus moves to increase pay in line with the so-called living wage | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
is a triple whammy, pushing services to a tipping point. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Staff at nursing homes like they say they have noticed growing pressures, | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
and they always make sure residents are the last people to suffer. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
But they say that the current level of care is unsustainable | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Tracy Cuthill runs a care home for people with physical disabilities. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
She says the comparative underfunding of the social sector | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
compared with the NHS means staff are fighting | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
I had a gentleman in from a hospital two months ago, | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
Now, as far as they were concerned he was going to lie in bed | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
until such time we could get him a wheelchair. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
Now, that's not our responsibility either, but then, | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
It's a basic human right. And it's basic. | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
The Social Services minister wasn't available for interview | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
but the Welsh Government says the sector is neither | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
The majority of adult care homes raised no concerns in a recent | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
report and it says it's investing in both | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
But some experts say the system is in a fragile state. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
The businesses are particularly financially fragile, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
which means that residents in them are vulnerable | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
If they are slow on payments, the banking and lending institutions | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
could ask for a big financial payment, and they don't bother | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
to find out which business it is they are demanding those from. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
In those instances, older people become commodities in the business | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
model where the profit margins are looked at instead | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
The art class in Wrexham is drawing to a close. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
It's part of the added value staff are trying to provide | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
for some of the most vulnerable people in society. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
They warn it could be lost unless the picture improves. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
It's been six months since the collapse of | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
Three workers - including Christopher Huxtable from Swansea - | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
His family have said today they now need closure. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Politicians representing the families say they're "horrified" | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
by how long it's taking to recover their bodies. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Returning to the site where a loved one is still lying. | :03:56. | :04:07. | |
Six months on, the body of Christopher Huxtable | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
from Swansea has been trapped under the rubble | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
His sister and daughter save the last | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
It's not nice to think he still out there after six months. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
I talked to him I do, through the scrap. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
It sounds stupid, doesn't it? It's the only thing I can do. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
I just think it needs to bring closure now. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
This was the scene at Didcot A power station not long after part | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
of the decommissioned site collapsed in February. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Only one of the bodies has been recovered. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Politicians representing the families have also criticised | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
One Swansea MP told me the time it has taken me | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
As a family representative I am horrified at how long it has taken. | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
It's just unfair, they have no closure. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
It's a tragedy. A dreadful tragedy. | :05:12. | :05:32. | |
Is paid tribute to these men who went to work, and they have given up | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
their life. Last month the demolition of the | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
remaining section was carried out The half demolished | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
shell was finally fully levelled. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
The search for the men resumed. But around 20,000 tonnes of material | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
still needs to be sifted through. The company which owns the site has | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
defended the recovery operation, saying part | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
of the structure have proven challenging to remove, | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
but they are working seven days a week and their priority | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
is recovering the man. Tributes have been paid | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
to a 22-year-old woman from Cardiff who died | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
after the BMW she was driving crashed into a block | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
of flats in the early hours | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
of yesterday morning. Sophie Taylor's family | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
have described her A 21-year-old man who was | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
a passenger in the car remains in a critical | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
condition in hospital. Four people have been arrested | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
on suspicion of manslaughter. There's been major travel | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
disruption on the A55 along The Conwy Tunnel was closed in both | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
directions after a system | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
failure within the tunnel. It has now reopened | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
and traffic is moving well. The Archbishop of Wales, | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Dr Barry Morgan, has announced He's the longest serving archbishop | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
in the Anglican communion and has been a strong | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
voice in public Jenny Rees looks back | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
at his career. He's led the way on big occasions, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
here in Llandaff Cathedral two years ago, at the Welsh national service, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
marking 100 years since But he has been there too, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
for communities rocked by personal tragedies as at Gleision, when four | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
miners were killed in 2011. Those within the church credit him | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
with holding it together, when topics like women bishops | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
and same sex marriages But Archbishop Barry Morgan hasn't | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
been afraid to speak out What I'm not in favour of is this | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
bill which presumes that unless you have opted out | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
then your organs can be used What is it about | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
a prosperous country, What is it about a prosperous | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
country, where people have to depend on food banks to get food, | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
in order to feed their families. I think it's been absolutely | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
right for the Archbishop He will be there to | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
promote social justice. He, across the board has spoken | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
for the vulnerable, particularly That has been hugely appreciated | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
by those of us But I think it's appropriate | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
for a bishop of a province He will, of course, receive rough | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
treatment from some when he has Dr Morgan stands down in January, | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
when he turns 70. Today he thanked those who have | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
supported him over the years, particularly since the death | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
of his wife earlier this year, a loss, he says, he found enormously | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
hard to bear. The firm behind plans | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
to build a ?120 million | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
holiday village on Anglesey has bought 600 acres of land | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
for the development. Land and Lakes plan to develop | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
800 lodges and cottages, a spa and 320 houses | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
on the site at Holy Island. A painting viewed as one | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
of the finest portraits by the National Trust, | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
bought for ?2.1 million so that it can stay at its home | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
in mid- Wales. The 17th century miniature | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
painting of Edward Herbert, was painted by Isaac Oliver | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
in the early 17th century. It will be restored before being put | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
back on display In just over a fortnight Rio | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
will host the Paralympics but major budget cuts are a real | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
concern for athletes here That's the warning tonight | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
from Disability Sport Wales. Most of the 24 welsh athletes | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
competing for Paralympics GB They won 22 medals last | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
time around in London. Today's Britain's cycling | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
team trained in Newport. At the weekend most will be flying | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
to a training camp in Belo Horizonte, heading | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
to a games overshadowed It's concerning for the athletes | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
and for the image of the games. I know that the IPC are working | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
with the mayor and goverment I know that the IPC are working | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
of Brazil to make sure they put on a I think the athletes | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
will be fully supported with no cutbacks, hopefully, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
on the field of play The Paralympics budget | :10:17. | :10:17. | |
has been scaled back. Cuts have been announced including | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
the closure of Deodoro Park, the second-largest of the four | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
zones used in the Olympics the down One of the medal hopes took | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
to Twitter this week asking whether these problems would have | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
occurred had the Paralympics been Another Paralympic | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
champion from 2012 told me it is disconcerting, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
but the cutback shouldn't affect the It is shameful as far | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
as I am concerned. As an ex-athlete I feel that any | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
athlete representing the country, Olympic or Paralympic | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
should be given Organisers said they wanted to | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
welcome the world to the city, but just 12% of tickets | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
have been sold so far. The Beijing and London Paralympics | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
generated huge interest in disability sport and brought | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
a shift in perceptions. The hope is that that momentum | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
will continue in Rio, despite the problems | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
behind-the-scenes. and in the second round of the EFL | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Cup, Swansea City have won away | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
from home against Peterbrough. Let's see if there's any more sunny | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
weather on the way - here's Derek. Hello, Cardiff was a hotspot today, | :11:21. | :11:40. | |
82 this afternoon, the highest temperatures recorded in Wales so | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
far this August. Tomorrow, temperatures will be lower but still | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
on the home side. Tonight, cloud spreads across Wales bringing the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
odd spot of drizzle, some mist, otherwise try with a mild, worm and | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
muggy night for some. There will be some cloud around, Misty in places, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
otherwise dry with many places brightening up with some sunshine. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Across the rest of the UK, many places dry tomorrow with some cloud | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
around, but sunny spells as well. Pleasantly warm in Northern Ireland, | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
20 Celsius in Belfast, hot and humid in the south-east, 29 Celsius in | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
London, 86 Fahrenheit. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, many places dry. | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
There will be some cloud in Powys, but still quite warm, 22 Celsius in | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
import where it will feel humid, fresher in the north-west. Tomorrow | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
evening we made see some rain in the south-east, spreading north towards | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Wrexham and Welshpool. Elsewhere, dry with showers. On Thursday, there | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
a greater risk of rain thundery showers. It should brighten up in | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the West during the afternoon. Friday looks a decent day. Dry and | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
settled with a mix of cloud and size bells, feeling pleasantly warm. Will | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
it stay dry over the bank holiday weekend? Probably not. We are | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
expecting rain and heavy showers, but some drier, brighter spells are | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
likely as well. I will see you soon. Nos da. | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
And that's Wales Today - we'll be back in Breakfast, | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Until then, from all of us on the programme, nos da. Goodnight. | :13:29. | :13:33. |
