0:04:31 > 0:04:33- ..and ordinary people.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- But the clear impression on - the streets in November...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- ..was that Paris' heart - was bleeding...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- ..and a country founded - on freedom, equality...

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- We thought Paris had changed - after Charlie Hebdo...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- ..but this is different.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Charlie Hebdo was a little bit - more targeted...

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What was it like to be there?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- In January, on the streets, - Paris was shaken...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- ..and there was anger - on the streets.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- It was a city that was enraged, - you could feel that on the streets.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- A city that was ready to hit back.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- We saw that in the huge march - with thousands on the streets.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- So Paris still had - its self-confidence.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- They knew it was a specific target - in January.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- These forthright journalists - and the Jews in the supermarket.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- There was a feeling of Paris - hitting back in January.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- It was different in November.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- A city on its knees, a city which - was lost, afraid to lift its head.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- A city which had lost - that self-confidence.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- And the target this time - was far broader.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Fundamentally, the values - of France. The joie de vivre.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Living on the streets, - the entertainment...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- ..the music being targeted.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Paris, in November, - was completely different.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- It was lost.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- It's a city you are familiar with.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Looking to the future, how will - this year's events affect Paris?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- They leave a huge scar on Paris, - no doubt about that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Everyone knows that - it's a very confident city.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- It can be a very noble city. - There's an arrogance there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- That had disappeared.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- But we are starting to see - that self-confidence return...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- ..especially with the - recent climate change summit.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Paris is starting to lift - its head again.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- But there are big questions - for Paris and France...
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- ..in terms of foreign policy.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- What is its role in the - Middle East? In North Africa?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- This tradition and history.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- But outside the centre, there's - serious poverty in the banlieue.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- There are significant, - multi-cultural problems...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- ..which don't work.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Policies to bring cultures - together are not working.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- That has to be targeted.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- The people of Paris are - trying to understand why...
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- ..but are also accepting they are - a target because of foreign policy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- The city has to start - getting used to that...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- ..and to cope with that...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- ..but they'll never forget - this year.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- The programme also went abroad - this year to tell the story...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- ..of the refugee crisis...
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- ..and the sadness of hundreds - of thousands of people...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- ..could be seen in - one powerful photograph.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- The worst refugee crisis...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- ..since the Second World War.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- In this special programme, we're - following the refugees' journey.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- The photo of the body of Aylan - Kurdi on a beach in Turkey...
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- ..drew the world's attention - to the crisis.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- The three-year-old boy - had drowned...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- ..after fleeing the war in Syria - with his family.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- In September, we went to Turkey...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- ..the crossroads between Europe - and the Middle East.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- For the thousands fleeing the war - in Syria every day...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- ..the gateway to a new life.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- But, as I heard from Wynn Dunn, - a Welshman living in the area...
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- ..very often the refugees' hopes - turn to heartbreak.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Behind us, here...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- ..this is where the boat - left from...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- ..and, unfortunately, it sank.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Eleven or twelve drowned.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- We're not sure how many. - No-one knows how many.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- But two children, the mother - and friends.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- And yet tragedies like this - weren't enough to extinguish...
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- ..the hopes of the refugees - I met on the island of Kos.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- One of the refugees told me...
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- ..that 14 had drowned on the boat - on the way from Turkey.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Germania, Romania...

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- ..who had fled the city - of Aleppo in Syria.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- The police in Macedonia caught us - and held us for two or three days.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Then they gave us maps and said go.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Muhammad and his family managed - to get on a bus to Hungary.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- We don't know what - happened to them.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- And although the path to some sort - of freedom is paved with danger...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- ..thousands still flee.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- The Health Service is never - far from the headlines...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- ..and this year we've regularly - led with the problems facing...
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- ..the North Wales health board, the - first in special measures in Wales.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Elen Wyn has the story of a - difficult year for Betsi Cadwaladr.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- As winter takes hold...
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- ..the pressure increases - on the health services in Wales.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Too many patients, not enough beds.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- The hospital's not big enough - for the number of patients.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I'm worried about Mam - because she's 95.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20- It's not fair.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- There's no room...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- ..so I asked if I could go home - but they said, not tonight.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Not tonight.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Oh, goodness me.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- And one health board has been - in the headlines regularly...
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- ..from a shortage of GPs, plans - to downgrade maternity units...
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- ..and a damning report into - the standard of care on a...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- ..mental health ward - at Glan Clwyd Hospital.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- One prominent figure told me - at the start of the year...
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- ..that one health board would - be in the headlines in 2015.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- The Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- That prediction - was absolutely right.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- The dispute over the future of - health services lasted all year.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- There was also concern over - out-of-hours GP services.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- And the biggest scandal was over - the very poor care given to...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- ..elderly mental health patients - on the Tawel Fan ward.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Buy the time the decision - was made in the summer...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- ..to place the board - in special measures...
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- ..and the Welsh Government - taking control essentially...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- ..it wasn't much of a surprise.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Early this year, there were - protests against plans...
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- ..to downgrade maternity services - at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- ..due to a shortage of staff.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- The decision to close the unit - would have been difficult...
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- ..for a family because it's - somewhere so close to our hearts.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- But to make it in that way, - which we felt didn't...
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- ..take into consideration the views - of the doctors and the patients...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- ..we felt it was unfair - and it shouldn't happen.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- But following the threat - of a judicial review...
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- ..and then a public consultation, - there was a U-turn.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- The decision was made to keep - the units as they are.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- In February, they were - 15 neonatal doctors short.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- By December, they were - still 14 doctors short.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- What's happened is, the board - has appointed older doctors...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- ..consultants, to fill the gaps.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- In the New Year, there are - still big questions...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- ..over how stable and sustainable - that will be...
0:13:44 > 0:13:45- ..in the long term.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Unfortunately, we're still - in a situation of risk.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Although we've appointed - many doctors...
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- ..our staffing levels - aren't full.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- The truth is, the decision to put - the board in special measures...
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- ..has been a dark cloud - over a lot of things.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Beyond the negative headlines, - if you look closely...
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- ..there's a lot going on - in North Wales...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- ..where Betsi Cadwaladr - is performing as well...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- ..if not better than - many other parts of Wales.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- But because of the problems, - the good news was ignored.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- The problems facing the Ambulance - Service surfaced time and again.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Failing to meet response times - for emergency calls...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- ..and ambulances queuing - outside hospitals...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- ..due to a shortage of beds.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Without a bed, she has to stay - with the ambulance crew.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- That's an ambulance which is not - available because she has to wait.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- But there's been a change.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- The targets will now only be used - for the most serious cases.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- The winter always puts additional - pressure on health services.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Wales is no exception.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- We also have to realize - that this winter...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- ..every health service in Britain - will face problems...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- ..for example, in terms of the - number of patients in A&E units...
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- ..the number of patients who have - to stay in those units too long...
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- ..the number of patients who need - treatment for things like the flu.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- All of those services - are in the same position.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- The problems aren't unique - to Wales.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- The debate between now and the - Assembly Election in May is...
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- ..has the Welsh Government coped - with those challenges...
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- ..in the best possible way?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board wasn't - the only one facing problems.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- If May feels a long time ago...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- ..it's still at the forefront of - our Welsh Affair's Editor's mind.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- We're talking about this past year - and the big political story...
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- ..was the general election.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- A general election is like a cup - final for a political journalist.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- The general election - is the big one.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- This election wasn't a classic from - the point of view of the campaign.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- The campaign, in all honesty, - was a bit weak.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- It all revolved around the - televised debates...
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- ..and the debates whether there - would be televised debates...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- ..and who would take part.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- We had a classic of a result, - an unexpected one.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Some of us found it difficult to - agree with the opinion polls...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- ..but everyone had to follow - the statistics.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Then we found the polls were wrong.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- The Tories won an unexpected - majority, but more importantly...
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- ..the devastation for the Lib Dems - across Britain...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- ..as well as Labour's devastation - in Scotland.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Two events that have changed the - architecture of our politics.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- Things aren't the same after this - election as they were before.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- It isn't part of the pattern - that's developed in Britain...
0:18:40 > 0:18:46- ..over the last 30 years of three - political parties. This is new.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- And the Labour Party had to look - for a new leader as a result.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- They had to look for a new leader - and chose someone unexpected.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- After the general election...
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- ..it was expected that Labour - would move to the right...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- ..because Ed Miliband had - taken them to the left.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Due to a combination of factors, - a change in the system...
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- ..for choosing a new leader, - changes that were introduced...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- ..by Ed Miliband, that gave new - people the opportunity...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- ..to join the party, as well as - parliamentary mistakes...
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- ..such as voting in favour of - changes to the benefit system.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- All of these gave an opportunity - to the left...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- ..that had been marginalised - for decades...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- ..to be front and centre.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- This odd figure, some would - call him eccentric...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- ..this bearded man becoming leader - of the Labour Party.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- The first leader with a beard - since Keir Hardie...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- ..possibly the first pacifist - since Keir Hardie...
0:19:47 > 0:19:53- ..and possibly someone who'll end - the party Keir Hardie started.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- How will this year's politics - influence next year?
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- We'll do it all again in the new - year with an election in Wales.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Yes, the Assembly Election.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- But in a time of - a British frenzy...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- ..I expect the Assembly Election - to be influenced...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- ..by British politics - more than ever before.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- That's partly to do - with the rise of Ukip.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- They failed in the - general election.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- They have a good chance of - succeeding in the Welsh elections.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- We'll to see how Leanne Wood's - publicity...
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- ..in the general election will - effect Plaid Cymru's performance.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- That attention didn't have much of - an effect in the general election.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Maybe it can make a difference - in the Assembly Election...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- ..due to her profile with voters.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43- An interesting year ahead.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Are you looking forward to it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Are you looking forward to it?- - I always do.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Every year is interesting but - the year that's just passed...

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- ..in my career as a - political correspondent.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Personal stories usually get - the biggest response.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- We are fortunate people are willing - to face the cameras...
0:21:10 > 0:21:11- ..to tell their stories.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- The words are from the heart - and touch many people.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- 'Her daughter was killed - by a drunk driver'
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Your daughter's been killed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- The nightmare we're living in now - started...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- ..at that moment.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I can't put into words...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- ..what I'm feel and how I feel - towards the man who killed Miriam.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54- I'm talking as a patient - about my personal experience.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- How hard will it be - for you and your family...
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- ..the fact you'll have to live - temporarily in England?
