:02:09. > :02:14.their efforts ended in failure. The emergency services arrived but

:02:14. > :02:22.there was little they could do because the fire was so intense.

:02:22. > :02:26.That is the background of this case. What is the next step? We have had

:02:30. > :02:35.Police tonight saying that they have been working together since

:03:28. > :03:34.the BBC gets underway, it is becoming increasingly clear that

:03:34. > :03:46.people had doubts about him. Including Sir Roger Jones, chair of

:03:46. > :03:50.Children In Need during his time as Governor over a decade ago.

:03:50. > :03:58.staff of Children In Need were very concerned about him. No one wanted

:03:58. > :04:03.to work with them. Jimmy Savile was not involved with Children In Need?

:04:03. > :04:12.That is what we wanted to happen. Did you mention this to the other

:04:12. > :04:16.governors? I have no evidence. considering what we know about

:04:16. > :04:24.Jimmy Savile, do you think you should have said something?

:04:24. > :04:29.without evidence. A spokesperson, on behalf of children a neat, has

:04:29. > :04:32.said they are investigating the Commons. -- Children In Need. They

:04:32. > :04:37.say protecting children is essential and central to everything

:04:38. > :04:44.they do. An opinion poll on Radio 5 suggests that fewer than 50% of the

:04:44. > :04:49.public now have faith in the BBC. Sir Roger is angry that the

:04:49. > :04:54.corporation abolished the court -- the board of governors. We used to

:04:54. > :04:58.discuss issues but that does not happen any more. Police are

:04:58. > :05:08.investigating claims that Jimmy Savile could ever be used as many

:05:47. > :05:52.heads towards America. The hurricane has killed 60 people on

:05:52. > :05:59.its journey through Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas. There is

:05:59. > :06:03.increasing concern as the hurricane heads towards more populated areas

:06:03. > :06:07.along the east coast of the US. Public transport has been shut down

:06:07. > :06:12.a number of states and hundreds of flights have been cancelled.

:06:12. > :06:20.Teachers and pupils from a number of Welsh schools are currently in

:06:45. > :06:48.will be possible. The flight has not been cancelled yet. But the

:06:48. > :06:57.head teacher of one of the schools is confident that the children will

:06:57. > :07:03.be safe. They are keeping an eye on the weather, and I am confident

:07:14. > :07:18.year ago. Hurricane Sandy is clearly bigger and is expected to

:07:18. > :07:29.bring snow and strong winds to around 12 states over the next 36

:07:29. > :07:35.hours. We were staying in a hotel near the coast. We have moved

:07:35. > :07:44.tonight because the storm is supposed to hit before long. We

:07:44. > :07:48.have been advised to stay indoors. The wind could reach 90mph. A state

:07:48. > :07:56.of emergency has been announced in many states, including Pennsylvania,

:07:56. > :08:07.New Jersey and Washington. People have been stocking up on water and

:08:07. > :08:11.other basics. I think people feel that these are real concerns.

:08:11. > :08:20.Mitt Romney and Barack Obama have also been forced to change their

:08:20. > :08:32.plans. Wind at almost 90mph has reached the coast, and Hurricane

:08:37. > :08:41.According to the education authority...

:08:41. > :08:51...changes have to be made because there are so many empty spaces.

:08:56. > :08:59.Letters from children on Anglesey asking for their schools to be

:08:59. > :09:06.safeguarded. The children and their parents went to the council

:09:06. > :09:13.headquarters today to express their concerns. It is the school that I

:09:13. > :09:16.went to as a child. So did my parents and my grandparents. It is

:09:16. > :09:25.a community school, and the building is also used in the

:09:25. > :09:36.evening. The children are bilingual, but their native tongue is Welsh.

:09:40. > :09:45.The council is considering a number of options, which could lead to the

:09:45. > :09:52.closure of up to three schools. They say that the percentage of NT

:09:52. > :09:57.spaces is around 40%. -- empty spaces. Parents say that she could

:09:57. > :10:01.change if the new power station is built at Wylfa. -- that could

:10:01. > :10:04.change. They are not the only parents who are concerned. The

:10:04. > :10:08.council is discussing the future of a number of schools on the island.

:10:08. > :10:14.They say they have no choice because of the number of empty

:10:14. > :10:20.spaces. Is it inevitable that some schools will close? Some schools

:10:20. > :10:26.will certainly close. That is to be expected. But there are very strong

:10:26. > :10:32.feelings among local people. We have received a lot of letters

:10:32. > :10:40.today. Council officials will now take the local response into

:10:40. > :10:50.consideration before making At Caernarfon Crown Court, a former

:11:01. > :11:05...for the police commissioners election next month...

:11:05. > :11:07...will be destroyed.

:11:07. > :11:11.The UK Government is rushing legislation through Parliament...

:11:11. > :11:14...to make sure there are bilingual papers available.

:11:14. > :11:19.Officials have ordered English language papers in the meantime.

:11:19. > :11:23.A Labour spokesperson has said the shambles could cost �350,000.

:11:23. > :11:27.Members of a Catholic church in Aberystwyth...

:11:27. > :11:30...are refusing to leave the building...

:11:30. > :11:34...in protest against plans to close the church.

:11:34. > :11:37.They've even threatened to take their protest to the Vatican.

:11:37. > :11:41.The last service was held at St. Winifred's Church on Sunday.

:11:41. > :11:45.The church says it's unable to pay for restoration work.

:11:45. > :11:47.But the members who are occupying the church...

:11:47. > :11:50...won't accept that argument.

:11:50. > :11:59.Craig Duggan is outside the church.

:12:03. > :12:09.Because of the weather, we have come inside the church but those

:12:09. > :12:18.facts are true. The bishop says that the �2.6 million needed to

:12:18. > :12:26.refurbish the Church is too much. This church is almost 140 years old.

:12:26. > :12:34.Four members of the Church, �600,000 would be enough. I am

:12:34. > :12:46.joined by one of the members. You're holding a vigil tonight. You

:12:46. > :12:52.are considering taking the appeal to the Vatican? We have reason to

:12:52. > :12:57.believe that the rules are not being followed as they should be

:12:57. > :13:09.and we may have a case to appeal. Shouldn't that be down to the

:13:09. > :13:13.Bishop? They have got to stay true to the laws of the Church. This

:13:13. > :13:21.situation must be difficult for you. You are going head-to-head with

:13:21. > :13:26.your own bishop. No one enjoys a situation like this, but the truth

:13:26. > :13:32.this that we have asked for a sensible discussion and that has

:13:32. > :13:38.not happened. That is why we are in this situation. And you are

:13:38. > :13:43.determined to continue with a vigil? Thank you very much. Are

:13:43. > :13:56.there going to stay in the Church until Wednesday when the doors

:14:27. > :14:33.People who have completed the course can see the difference

:14:33. > :14:40.between someone who is drunk and someone who really needs help. I

:14:40. > :14:47.think the course is beneficial if you work in a building like this,

:14:47. > :14:53.or if you deal with people every day. Many members of staff at the

:14:53. > :15:00.University have also been trained to pick up on signs of depression

:15:00. > :15:04.and other mental health issues. students know that they can come to

:15:04. > :15:09.me and speak about anything. We all know they like to have fun but they

:15:09. > :15:14.also work very hard and are under a lot of pressure. It is vital that

:15:14. > :15:19.we can respond to that pressure. one of the biggest buildings in

:15:32. > :15:38.staff have first-aid qualifications. There are hoping to expand that to

:15:38. > :15:45.250. Since the scheme started, the number of people off work with

:15:45. > :15:49.mental health issues has halved. we can keep people in work, that

:15:49. > :15:55.helps them with that social interaction. It might only be the

:15:55. > :16:02.safe place they have to go. Back in Aberystwyth, the students are

:16:21. > :16:24...unless a Welsh-language television channel was established...

:16:24. > :16:28...by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government.

:16:28. > :16:32.But according to Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas...

:16:32. > :16:43...that threat was immoral.

:16:48. > :16:54.Gwynfor Evans won one of his most - - biggest political victories in

:16:54. > :17:00.Wales during the final years of his career. In 1980, he went on hunger

:17:01. > :17:06.strike to secure a Welsh language television channel. This is one

:17:06. > :17:13.reason why there are opportunities for people to take part in this

:17:13. > :17:15.campaign. Margaret Thatcher's conservative government promised to

:17:16. > :17:20.establish a Welsh language television channel in their

:17:20. > :17:25.manifesto, before changing the policy and saying that Welsh-

:17:25. > :17:32.language programmes were continuing to be shared between two channels.

:17:33. > :17:43.According to his son, Gwynfor Evans saw an opportunity to rejuvenate

:17:43. > :17:47.the nationalist movement. He wanted to make a difference. Gwynfor Evans

:17:47. > :18:00.had not consulted many people before making his decision. Some

:18:00. > :18:07.within his own party were against the move. I think this is immoral.

:18:07. > :18:12.It is a means of direct action by threatening suicide. That is being

:18:12. > :18:16.done to influence the democratic process. The Welsh Secretary,

:18:16. > :18:21.Nicholas Edwards, and the Conservative government, were under

:18:21. > :18:25.pressure following a visit from three prominent Welsh figures. The

:18:25. > :18:31.Home Secretary, Willie Whitelaw, announced that he would establish a

:18:31. > :18:38.Welsh language channel. But what would Gwynfor Evans make of S4C in

:18:38. > :18:49.2012? The continuation of the channel is what would have been

:18:49. > :18:53.important to him. He would not want to see the Channel suffer because,

:18:53. > :19:05.as he said, this is one of the most important things in the history of

:19:05. > :19:20.Swansea City's season in the Premier ..after Michel Vorm was ruled out

:19:46. > :19:54.Mason after three minutes. Although when mistake by the Burnley keeper

:19:54. > :19:57.led to the second goal, Kray Newham was more than happy to claim it.

:19:57. > :20:01.Whittingham's corner at the start of the second half found Matt

:20:01. > :20:05.Connolly, who headed it into the back of the net. After coming off

:20:10. > :20:14.to secure the victory and put Cardiff back at the top of the

:20:14. > :20:19.championship. After injuring himself trying to prevent the only

:21:41. > :21:49.found the food? I struggle with things like fish and squid. I do

:21:55. > :22:00.and subways out here, so I can live on those. The mountains may be a

:22:00. > :22:08.reminder of Wales but there are very few comparisons between the

:22:08. > :22:11.Mitsubishi Dynaboars and the teams at home. In Ammanford, there is one
