Back from recess, Assembly Members Environment Agency blames saturated	:00:15.	:00:29.
How will it affect us? I know how much money we've got now, but I	:00:29.	:00:33.
don't know what it will feel like when it's implemented so I can get	:00:33.	:00:43.
used to it. Saturated ground and culverts not cleared says the	:00:43.	:00:50.
Bethan Jenkins AM has been banned ..after pleading to guilty	:00:50.	:00:53.
And why an Anglesey football team is getting attention from Brazil.	:00:53.	:01:04.
Perhaps	:01:04.	:01:04.
Perhaps they	:01:04.	:01:04.
Perhaps they can't	:01:05.	:01:08.
Perhaps they can't take our tackles but it would be nice to see their	:01:08.	:01:20.
Assembly Members have unanimously It means over 300,000 families are	:01:20.	:01:23.
Our political editor Betsan Powys has more.	:01:23.	:01:42.
The	:01:42.	:01:42.
The debate	:01:43.	:01:43.
The debate was	:01:43.	:01:50.
The debate was a very short one. But it was discussing very basic	:01:50.	:01:59.
political priorities. The decision in Wales by the Labour Government,	:01:59.	:02:07.
which has completely different priorities, is not to close the gap	:02:07.	:02:11.
of the reduction in budge elt and the effect of that on -- budget and	:02:11.	:02:16.
the effect of that on more than 300 ,000 families in Wales who are	:02:16.	:02:26.
When times are hard, every penny But in Claire Russell Griffiths's	:02:26.	:02:44.
..the thought of more costs to come And this is the cause	:02:44.	:02:48.
..to the Assembly Government along with a 10% budget cut...	:02:48.	:02:52.
..equating to �22 million.	:02:52.	:02:54.
The Welsh Government won't be making up the shortfall...	:02:54.	:02:57.
..neither will local councils, like in Scotland.	:02:57.	:02:59.
So from April, 330,000 families will shoulder the costs...	:02:59.	:03:04.
..an average of additional �67 each.	:03:04.	:03:09.
After such a long wait, there was a clear message to politicians.	:03:09.	:03:20.
You	:03:20.	:03:20.
You should	:03:20.	:03:20.
You should make	:03:20.	:03:25.
You should make the decision quickly and you should let everyone	:03:25.	:03:28.
know. There is poverty within society and they have to look at	:03:28.	:03:36.
No agreement was reached ..and accusations were made that he	:03:36.	:03:37.
..the opportunity to examine the complicated new rules.	:03:37.	:03:37.
Learn lessons, said the opposition...	:03:37.	:03:39.
Today, the vote was won...	:03:39.	:03:40.
..but the opportunity to throw stones wasn't missed.	:03:40.	:03:48.
We	:03:48.	:03:48.
We can	:03:48.	:03:49.
We can blame	:03:49.	:03:52.
We can blame the trshs in London. We can blame the Lib Dems, but the	:03:52.	:03:56.
fact is it is the Labour Government here in Wales passing those costs	:03:57.	:04:11.
We have to ask that if we've got a mature Government here, why haven't	:04:11.	:04:17.
they looked at that before? And how can they spend money on things like	:04:17.	:04:23.
the airport when there are other things? It's part of the agreement	:04:23.	:04:28.
within the coalition. We don't agree with it but in the long run,	:04:28.	:04:32.
the Scottish Government decided that they would put the extra money	:04:32.	:04:43.
A day of political bickering ..and agreement for a year,	:04:43.	:04:46.
..but in Penllyn and beyond came thethreat of increased bills from April.	:04:46.	:05:01.
Who	:05:01.	:05:02.
Who was	:05:02.	:05:02.
Who was under	:05:03.	:05:08.
Who was under most pressure today? Perhaps not unexpectedly it was the	:05:09.	:05:16.
Tories and the -- the Tories that were hardest hit. Labour were	:05:16.	:05:22.
putting the blame on Westminster. The Lib Dems said that his party	:05:22.	:05:27.
had made a mistake in agreeing to these cuts. Of course, there is	:05:27.	:05:30.
nothing that can be done here to change that. What they can do is	:05:30.	:05:33.
put pressure on the Labour Government here in Wales to do	:05:33.	:05:38.
something about closing that gap as has happened in Scotland. Certainly,	:05:38.	:05:43.
that is where the pressure was today. With all announcements to be	:05:43.	:05:49.
made over coming months, about spending, someone will be reminding	:05:49.	:05:53.
the Labour Government that they found the money for this but you	:05:53.	:05:59.
wouldn't find the money for the families feeling this pressure.	:05:59.	:06:03.
They asked Carwyn Jones, "Why can't that money be found?" He said this	:06:03.	:06:07.
was George Osborne's gaffe. They would like to find the money but	:06:07.	:06:14.
During last month's horrendous ..there was serious flooding	:06:14.	:06:19.
Today, a report by ..explained culverts	:06:19.	:06:35.
..which was partially responsible What exactly has this report got to	:06:35.	:06:41.
say? Well, the report says that there are a number of factors that	:06:41.	:06:45.
caused these floods to happen, that the ground was so saturated because	:06:45.	:06:50.
so much rain had fallen, but another factor that was responsible	:06:50.	:07:01.
was that the culverts had blocked and they hadn't been cleared. The	:07:01.	:07:05.
floodplains were overflowing and there was nowhere for the water to	:07:05.	:07:13.
flow. This is what the Agency said. It seems that from what we	:07:13.	:07:20.
understand that the culverts were blocked and the water had backed up,	:07:20.	:07:28.
gone over the top and flooded the estate. Can we say who was to blame	:07:28.	:07:32.
and who is answerable? No, I don't think that is possible at the	:07:32.	:07:36.
moment. I have just come from the estate. I have been talking to	:07:36.	:07:41.
locals and they weren't surprised that this was the conclusion of the	:07:41.	:07:47.
report. They had seen that the culverts hadn't been cleared and	:07:47.	:07:58.
they suggested - it reminded them of an old Welsh legend. There are	:07:58.	:08:08.
When the decision was made ..a report by the Newsnight	:08:08.	:08:13.
..there was chaos and confusion That's the main conclusion	:08:13.	:08:15.
..carried out by former head of Sky News, Nick Pollard.	:08:15.	:08:18.
The Deputy Director of BBC News has resigned...	:08:18.	:08:20.
..and the editor of Newsnight will move to a new post.	:08:20.	:08:27.
The Newsnight scandal ended the career of one director general...	:08:27.	:08:30.
..and raised questions about the BBC's editorial policies.	:08:30.	:08:36.
Today, the reasons behind the failures were published.	:08:36.	:08:41.
We're all by now aware of the kind of man Jimmy Savile was...	:08:41.	:08:48.
..as Newsnight decided against broadcasting an investigation...	:08:48.	:08:53.
..which contained the first allegations of abuse against him.	:08:53.	:08:57.
Here are the main conclusions of Nick Pollard...	:08:57.	:08:58.
..after listening to two months of evidence.	:08:58.	:09:03.
According to his report, there wastotal confusion among BBC management.	:09:03.	:09:06.
But he said there was no evidence of improper pressure on Newsnight...	:09:06.	:09:10.
..to drop the report Savile tribute programmes.	:09:10.	:09:17.
Despite this, BBC leadership failed to address issues which arose...	:09:17.	:09:21.
..as a result of the decision to shelve the broadcast.	:09:21.	:09:28.
Today, one Newsnight reporter criticised the decision...	:09:28.	:09:31.
..to stop the investigation.	:09:31.	:09:36.
A second report today criticised another Newsnight programme...	:09:36.	:09:38.
..which led to wrongly linking Lord McAlpine...	:09:38.	:09:39.
..to allegations of child abuse in north Wales children's homes.	:09:39.	:09:41.
According to the BBC Trust Editorial Standards Committee...	:09:41.	:09:42.
..this happened because of the failure of the production team...	:09:42.	:09:44.
..to follow corporation guidelines.	:09:44.	:09:48.
The Newsnight team was also criticised...	:09:48.	:09:49.
..for failing to discuss the story with BBC Wales reporters.	:09:49.	:10:03.

Deputy Director of News Stephen Mitchell will leave next year...	:10:24.	:10:27.
..and Newsnight editor Peter Rippon will assume a new post.	:10:27.	:10:33.
Radio 5 live controller Adrian van Klaveren will also move post.	:10:33.	:10:50.

Faith in the	:10:50.	:10:54.
Faith in the BBC has obviously dropped, but, having said that,	:10:54.	:10:59.
people still watch the BBC more than any other service. I do think	:10:59.	:11:11.
that that trust will be regained. The BBC's mistakes	:11:11.	:11:17.
The corporation is now trying to Police investigating claims	:11:17.	:11:23.

..relating to child abuse alongside two women who face similar charges.	:12:07.	:12:14.
Crown prosecutor Suzanne Thomas...	:12:14.	:12:16.
..said Ian Watkins was arrested inSeptember after police discovered...	:12:16.	:12:19.
..dozens of indecent images and videos on his computers...	:12:19.	:12:22.
..among them were conversations between Ian Watkins and two women.	:12:22.	:12:39.

Ian Watkins and the other twodefendants were remanded in custody..	:12:54.	:12:56.

The High Court in London has ruledthat a new inquest should be held...	:13:05.	:13:08.
..into the deaths of 96 Liverpool football fans...	:13:08.	:13:11.
..who died in Hillsborough.	:13:11.	:13:14.
Home Secretary Theresa May announced that the police...	:13:14.	:13:16.
..would also hold a new inquiry into the events of April 1989...	:13:16.	:13:21.
..which could lead to prosecutions.	:13:21.	:13:28.
After almost a quarter of a century...	:13:28.	:13:29.
..the families of Hillsborough victims...	:13:29.	:13:32.
..say they can finally move forward...	:13:32.	:13:34.

A verdict of accidental death was A decision which angered	:14:32.	:14:36.
The coroner at the time explained that all the supporters...	:14:36.	:14:38.
..had been injured by 3:15pm...	:14:38.	:14:42.
..and therefore, the inquest need not consider...	:14:42.	:14:45.
..the response of the emergency services after that time.	:14:45.	:14:48.
However, the Lord Chief Justice claimed...	:14:48.	:14:51.
..the wrong information had been deliberately released...	:14:51.	:14:52.
..regarding the tragedy.	:14:52.	:14:54.
Theresa May announced there will be a new police inquiry...	:14:54.	:14:57.

Assembly Member Bethan Jenkins...	:15:09.	:15:11.
..has been banned from driving for 20 months...	:15:11.	:15:13.
..after pleading guilty to drink-driving...	:15:13.	:15:14.
..at Cardiff Magistrates' Court.	:15:14.	:15:16.
The court heard she had over double...	:15:16.	:15:18.
..the legal level of alcohol in her blood...	:15:18.	:15:21.
..when stopped by the police in Llandaff in October.	:15:21.	:15:27.
Two months after being stopped by police...	:15:27.	:15:29.
..Bethan Jenkins appeared before Cardiff Magistrates' Court...	:15:29.	:15:33.
..to face charges of drink-driving.	:15:34.	:15:36.
Her car had been seen careering to the side...	:15:36.	:15:39.
..on a road in Cowbridge at 1:30 in the morning.	:15:39.	:15:42.
The court heard that the AM wasn't wearing anything on her feet...	:15:42.	:15:47.
..and was wearing pyjama bottoms and a jumper.	:15:47.	:15:50.
Her blood/alcohol level was more than double the legal limit.	:15:50.	:15:55.
Defending Bethan Jenkins, Martin Prowel said...	:15:55.	:15:57.
..that on the night in question...	:15:57.	:16:00.
..his client had attended her friend's birthday party.	:16:00.	:16:03.
Bethan Jenkins was suffering from depression.	:16:03.	:16:07.
Whilst recognising that was not an excuse...	:16:07.	:16:09.
..she said it might help explain what happened.	:16:09.	:16:11.
She had drank more than she should have...	:16:11.	:16:13.
..and despite intending to spend the night in Cardiff...	:16:13.	:16:16.
..she decided to drive to her parents' home...	:16:16.	:16:18.
..in the early hours of the morning.	:16:18.	:16:23.
Judge Bodfan Jenkins said he recognised Bethan Jenkins...	:16:23.	:16:25.
..had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity...	:16:25.	:16:28.
..but he added that she had taken an enormous risk.	:16:28.	:16:32.
She was banned from driving for 20 months...	:16:32.	:16:34.
..but on completion of a course on the effects of alcohol...	:16:34.	:16:37.
..that could be decreased to five months.	:16:37.	:16:40.
In a statement, Bethan Jenkins said she was deeply sorry...	:16:40.	:16:43.
..and apologised, saying she fell well below the standards...	:16:43.	:16:47.
..she expects of herself.	:16:47.	:16:52.
During the hearing, she fought back tears...	:16:52.	:16:54.
..and made no comment on leaving the court.	:16:54.	:16:57.
She was also fined �750...	:16:57.	:16:59.
..and has been suspended from Plaid Cymru's assembly group.	:16:59.	:17:02.
The party will reconsider her situation...	:17:02.	:17:05.
..when she returns to works after a period of illness.	:17:05.	:17:16.
It has been claimed that a policeman faked evidence...	:17:16.	:17:18.
..regarding an argument near the gates of Downing Street...	:17:18.	:17:20.
..in September between the police...	:17:20.	:17:23.
..and the former Chief Whip, Andrew Mitchell.	:17:23.	:17:25.
Mr Mitchell resigned shortly afterwards.	:17:25.	:17:27.
At the time, officials prevented him...	:17:27.	:17:29.
..from taking his bike through the main gates.	:17:29.	:17:32.
Mr Mitchell is calling for a new inquiry.	:17:32.	:17:41.
It will be a merry Christmas for Andrew Mitchell...	:17:41.	:17:43.
..if the new evidence clears his name.	:17:43.	:17:46.
Channel 4 news claims a police officer emailed an MP...	:17:46.	:17:49.
..purporting to be a member of the public...	:17:49.	:17:52.
..saying he witnessed the altercation...	:17:52.	:17:55.
..between Mr Mitchell and the police.	:17:55.	:17:57.
But last night, CCTV images of the altercation...	:17:57.	:18:00.
..broadcast for the first time...	:18:00.	:18:03.
..suggests that is not entirely true.	:18:03.	:18:05.
Both police officers refused to open the gate for him.	:18:05.	:18:08.
Mr Mitchell admits shouting and swearing...	:18:08.	:18:12.
..at the police at this point...	:18:12.	:18:13.
..but denies using the word, "pleb".	:18:13.	:18:17.
In this image from outside the gate, the street is quiet.	:18:17.	:18:20.
This goes against claims made by the officer in the email...	:18:20.	:18:23.
..that said members of the public has also witnessed the occurrence.	:18:23.	:18:30.
The Metropolitan Police Federation...	:18:30.	:18:31.
..deny a conspiracy against the former Chief Whip.	:18:31.	:18:34.
A police officer has now been arrested and suspended...	:18:34.	:18:37.
..whilst police carry out an investigation.	:18:37.	:18:40.
Some of Andrew Mitchell's fellow MPs...	:18:40.	:18:43.
..say he has been unfairly treated.	:18:43.	:18:54.
I	:18:54.	:18:54.
I think	:18:54.	:18:54.
I think he	:18:54.	:19:00.
I think he does have opportunity to prove that he didn't make some of	:19:00.	:19:07.
the declarations he is said to have But he has admitted to have treated	:19:07.	:19:12.
Both police officers present ..that Mr Mitchell used the word	:19:12.	:19:18.
