:00:08. > :00:12.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's top story: The boy terrorised by
:00:12. > :00:17.his neighbour's dog in a savage attack. His sister tells us what
:00:17. > :00:24.happened. Of it grabbed my little brother's
:00:24. > :00:28.right hand. And chased us around the house, upstairs. It took his
:00:28. > :00:35.hand, pushed him into the corner and bit his face.
:00:35. > :00:39.The man who drove this 4x4 up Snowdon tells us why he did it..
:00:39. > :00:46.Out of a list of 50 things to do before you die, this was one of
:00:46. > :00:51.them. This was at the top of the list. The other 49 will not be done
:00:51. > :00:55.because I will be sued from kingdom come. And, a ticket to ride. Unions
:00:55. > :01:00.say they might be more costly if plans to close 22 station offices
:01:00. > :01:03.get the green light. In tonight's sport: Plenty to
:01:03. > :01:06.ponder. There's mixed injury news for Gatland. But patriotic crowds
:01:06. > :01:14.turn out in Wellington, to watch Wales train ahead of their first
:01:14. > :01:21.match. It was amazing to see how many Welsh people were there.
:01:21. > :01:25.this suit on the internet, it is special. So far, it has been
:01:25. > :01:35.friendly and relaxed in this rugby- mad city. Tomorrow, Wales will
:01:35. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:46.concentrate exclusively on the Good evening.
:01:46. > :01:49.The father of a boy who was savaged by his neighbour's dog has called
:01:49. > :01:53.for changes to the law. The attack on six-year-old Erfan Ali went on
:01:53. > :01:57.for 15 minutes. He was bitten on the face and hands, and his family
:01:57. > :02:00.say he's lucky to be alive. The dog, thought to have been a Rhodesian
:02:00. > :02:02.Ridgeback, has been put down. Caroline Evans' report contains
:02:02. > :02:07.pictures that some viewers may find upsetting.
:02:07. > :02:11.Just home from hospital. Since the attack by next door's dog, Erfan
:02:11. > :02:14.Ali has had to undergo four hours of surgery. He hasn't spoken much
:02:15. > :02:19.since, but did say to his father, "I tried to stop it, but I
:02:19. > :02:23.couldn't." The dog, named Tyson, is understood to have been a Rhodesian
:02:23. > :02:27.Ridgeback. It's an animal originally bred in Africa for
:02:27. > :02:31.hunting, and used to pursue lions. Erfan's sister, who with their
:02:31. > :02:40.mother, tried to fend off the animal, says she thought he was
:02:40. > :02:45.going to be killed. My mum was doing the washing here, getting the
:02:45. > :02:52.clothes end. My brother was helping. The dog came here, knocking
:02:52. > :02:56.everything down, breaking this. As you can see. It came through the
:02:56. > :03:03.gap, circling and chasing. mother and brother tried to run
:03:03. > :03:11.away into the house, but the dog followed them. My mum and brother
:03:11. > :03:15.ran inside, tried to get it to go. The doggy but -- the dog went in,
:03:15. > :03:19.chased him around. It went mad. Unable to stop him through their
:03:19. > :03:24.back door, the dog pursued them through the kitchen, and into the
:03:24. > :03:33.front hall. The family say the attack went on for 15 minutes. In
:03:33. > :03:40.the end, it took two people to get the dog off Erfan. The dog followed
:03:40. > :03:44.him into the landing, biting his right, left cheek, his hand. It was
:03:44. > :03:48.horrifying. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is not one of the four breeds of
:03:48. > :03:51.dog covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act. And Erfan's father Dilwah says
:03:51. > :03:59.he now wants the law changed to bring back the dog licence, which
:03:59. > :04:09.was abolished in 1987. My child, I don't want this to happen to other
:04:09. > :04:14.families. Because, I am really horrified with this. I will urge
:04:14. > :04:19.all local politicians and authorities to take this matter
:04:19. > :04:23.seriously. If you're going to kick this type of dog you have to make
:04:23. > :04:26.sure they are properly enclosed, exercised and well looked after.
:04:26. > :04:28.Nothing can justify something like this. The attack is being
:04:29. > :04:31.investigated by police. Meanwhile, Erfan faces years of medical
:04:31. > :04:35.treatment. He'll will have to undergo extensive surgery and skin
:04:36. > :04:40.grafts as he grows up. It's too early to tell if one side of his
:04:40. > :04:45.face will be paralysed. Claire Hargrave is an animal
:04:45. > :04:49.psychologist, and an expert in pet behaviour. This attack is reported
:04:49. > :04:57.to have gone on for 15 minutes. How unusual is a persistent attack like
:04:57. > :05:01.this? We needed to put canine aggression
:05:01. > :05:04.into perspective. Humans have a tremendous repertoire of
:05:04. > :05:09.communication and consequently we can avoid having to become
:05:09. > :05:14.aggressive. If an animal is faced with a potential threat, it needs
:05:14. > :05:20.to maintain a distance between itself and the threat. It does this
:05:20. > :05:25.through subtle aggression, and later, a bite. The difference in
:05:25. > :05:30.here is we have a sustained attack. This is most likely to be due to
:05:30. > :05:35.the fact this is a hunting dog, and as a consequence, the repertoire of
:05:35. > :05:40.his behaviour would have been initiated by movements associated
:05:40. > :05:43.with the hunting procedure and it would have kept on. Research
:05:43. > :05:48.suggests when natural behaviours are frustrated and prevented, when
:05:48. > :05:56.an animal gets an opportunity to engage in those babies, it will do
:05:56. > :05:59.so to excess. Is this familiar behaviour in this breed?
:05:59. > :06:05.specifically within the range of domestic examples of this breed,
:06:05. > :06:12.but this breed has evolved to hunt. When you have movements behind a
:06:12. > :06:16.fence, shadowy movement, it is likely to engage this sequence of
:06:16. > :06:20.reaction and it will difficult for the animal to turn it off once it
:06:20. > :06:29.has been initiated. Hence, the difficulty the owners had in
:06:29. > :06:32.stopping it. Are children more vulnerable to attack than adults?
:06:32. > :06:37.It is unfortunate that children are far more unpredictable in the way
:06:37. > :06:42.they move, they have high-pitched voices, and a lot of animal find
:06:42. > :06:48.this extremely arousing in the way they move and also in some cases
:06:48. > :06:55.they haven't been adequately prepared to deal with this and they
:06:55. > :06:59.find it frightening. And they have to engage in aggression.
:06:59. > :07:02.The An experienced climber has died after falling off a cliff into the
:07:02. > :07:05.sea in Pembrokeshire. This footage from the RNLI shows the moment when
:07:05. > :07:07.emergency services arrived at Stackpole Head yesterday. A man and
:07:07. > :07:14.woman were airlifted to Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest. The
:07:14. > :07:17.woman died, and the man was treated for minor injuries.
:07:17. > :07:20.The insurance company Admiral is to create 200 new jobs at their
:07:21. > :07:24.offices in Swansea. The company already employs 1,600 people in the
:07:24. > :07:29.city. It wants to expand its operations, and will be leasing
:07:29. > :07:33.offices at Swansea Vale from the Welsh Government.
:07:33. > :07:37.A man who drove his car up Snowdon, and left it parked close to the
:07:37. > :07:40.summit, has spoken exclusively to Wales Today, and said it was on his
:07:40. > :07:45.list of things to do before he dies. Craig Williams, from Cheltenham,
:07:45. > :07:48.has been charged with driving a vehicle on unauthorised land. The
:07:48. > :07:54.authorities are now trying to work out how to bring it back down the
:07:54. > :08:01.mountain. Roger Pinney is at the foot of Snowdon.
:08:02. > :08:05.The reason I'm not at the top is technical. This 4x4 is in a
:08:05. > :08:08.particularly windswept spot. We simply weren't able to get a live
:08:08. > :08:12.link from there this evening. But I went up the mountain earlier today.
:08:12. > :08:20.We got some exclusive pictures. And I spoke to the man who took it
:08:20. > :08:25.there. It seemed like a good idea at the
:08:25. > :08:30.time but has left an enormous headache and an unanswered question,
:08:30. > :08:35.how to get it down. We found the driver at the bottom of the
:08:36. > :08:42.mountain pondering his options. He told me it took him nine hours to
:08:42. > :08:47.get his 4x4, up Snowdon. Why? of a list of 50 thing to do before
:08:47. > :08:51.you die, this is one of them. If you can consider it is on the top
:08:51. > :08:59.of the list, the other 49 are not going to be able to be done,
:08:59. > :09:04.because my backside will be sued from kingdom come. Was it a pub is
:09:04. > :09:09.decent -- publicity stunt? It was done as an impulsive spur-of-the-
:09:09. > :09:14.moment act. People are saying you have been irresponsible. I do
:09:15. > :09:19.appreciate that. They say it is a selfish act. I can relate to that
:09:19. > :09:23.as well. And no other people have been saying, you need to be in a
:09:23. > :09:33.mental institution, you are crazy. Others are saying, palms up, fair
:09:33. > :09:39.
:09:39. > :09:43.play. -- thumbs up. Since 1904, there had been several attempts to
:09:43. > :09:53.get up the mountain bike car. This one was captured travelling up
:09:53. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :09:57.the railway track in 1917. The idea of was a panic to get up and down
:09:57. > :10:03.the mountain in one night. Photos with have been the only evidence.
:10:03. > :10:07.The plan went astray because the climb took longer than expected.
:10:07. > :10:11.The best that can be said is it is neatly parked and it gives walkers
:10:11. > :10:19.something to look at when the clouds are down low. Getting it up
:10:19. > :10:25.he was a challenge, getting it down again will be a challenge as well.
:10:25. > :10:33.Some mixed reactions. I was surprised, and thought it was a

:10:38. > :10:43.would like to leave the mountain as we found it. Leaving Iraq appeared
:10:43. > :10:48.is far from doing that. That's the point, it can't stay there. Options
:10:48. > :10:53.include driving it away, flying it out or bring it down on the railway.
:10:53. > :10:56.There are problems with all of them. In terms of where the vehicle is
:10:56. > :11:03.and where it needs to get to, somebody will have to get behind
:11:03. > :11:07.the wheel. I cannot indemnify my staff. Craig Williams says, give
:11:07. > :11:13.him his keys and he will drive it. He is facing prosecution for taking
:11:13. > :11:21.his 4x4 and abandoning it. So for now it is not going anywhere, at
:11:21. > :11:24.least until the weather changes and someone comes up with a plan.
:11:24. > :11:30.There have been concerns calls between the mountain railway,
:11:30. > :11:34.national park and police, trying to figure out where to go next.
:11:34. > :11:39.They're still looking at flying it out by Chinook helicopter come up
:11:39. > :11:42.or chopping it up into bits and brilliant down on the train. Craig
:11:42. > :11:48.Williams who owns the vehicle says he is keen to get it back because
:11:48. > :11:52.he needs it to drive back to his home in Cheltenham. There is one
:11:52. > :12:02.unanswered question. This vehicle is part just below the summit. I
:12:02. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:09.asked the owner if he actually got to the top. He wouldn't answer.
:12:09. > :12:12.The Environment Agency says it has found the source of red diesel in
:12:12. > :12:15.the water in Aberystwyth harbour over the weekend. An investigation
:12:15. > :12:18.has traced the oil to a local company. The spill has left an
:12:18. > :12:27.unpleasant smell, but public health officials say it isn't harmful.
:12:27. > :12:31.People living nearby have been asked to keep their windows closed.
:12:32. > :12:41.That sort of spillage is not a problem, it is more a nuisance
:12:41. > :12:45.factor, though it's Mull. Diesel all over your hands. And for the
:12:45. > :12:49.commercial boats, the ladders are coated. It is not very pleasant at

:13:01. > :13:09.Gatland ponders his starting 15. All the latest injury news from the
:13:09. > :13:13.Ticket stations at 22 platforms across the country could close, as
:13:13. > :13:17.part of plans to cut costs. That's the warning from one transport
:13:17. > :13:20.union which claims it's not only bad news for staff, but for
:13:20. > :13:24.passengers as well, who could end up paying more for tickets. 12

:14:07. > :14:11.people pay excessive amounts for tickets. They also do other duties
:14:11. > :14:15.on the platform. It is too simplistic in many cases simply to
:14:15. > :14:19.say they are not selling enough tickets. They provide a service to
:14:19. > :14:23.a community. The Association of Train Operating Companies says the
:14:23. > :14:26.industry needs to cut costs and provide better value for money for
:14:26. > :14:30.the taxpayer. They say there has been a fundamental shift in the way
:14:30. > :14:33.people buy tickets over the last five years. The number sold through
:14:34. > :14:37.the internet has more than trebled, with the number of automated
:14:37. > :14:41.tickets almost doubling. The number of passengers buying from station
:14:41. > :14:45.staff has fallen, and now accounts for just over a third of all
:14:45. > :14:49.tickets bought. Passengers are also bracing themselves for an 8 percent
:14:49. > :14:53.increase in fares next year. With the news last week that stern line

:15:25. > :15:28.flexibility because they are the 24 hours a day. But it doesn't help
:15:28. > :15:33.people who are made redundant because of that. You can buy a lot
:15:33. > :15:39.of things online and now, but having somebody face-to-face is a
:15:39. > :15:43.much better idea than having a faceless, automated machine. There
