:00:20. > :00:22.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: The battle to salvage

:00:23. > :00:29.thousands of litres of fuel on board the stricken ship, wrecked

:00:29. > :00:32.off Old Colwyn, after a dramatic night-time rescue.

:00:32. > :00:42.Almost 24 hours on, the salvage effort is still being hampered by

:00:42. > :00:52.

:00:52. > :00:59.strong winds and question remain Our other headlines tonight: It's

:00:59. > :01:02.Christmas at Easter. Last week a heatwave and now six inches of snow.

:01:02. > :01:12.Supermarkets say charging for plastic bags has cut their use by

:01:12. > :01:13.

:01:13. > :01:19.as much as 90%. We take carrier bags were this rather than pay that

:01:19. > :01:26.5p. It is a habit now. The Somali seamen from Cardiff who

:01:26. > :01:28.crewed the ocean liners commandeered for the Falklands.

:01:28. > :01:38.And gold for Geraint Thomas as Britain's team pursuit cyclists

:01:38. > :01:39.

:01:39. > :01:43.break the world record in Melbourne. Good evening. Almost 24 hours after

:01:43. > :01:47.a cargo vessel hit the rocks in heavy seas off the North Wales

:01:47. > :01:50.coast, the investigation into what exactly happened is underway. The

:01:50. > :01:53.rescue operation at Llanddulas near Colwyn Bay to winch off eight crew,

:01:53. > :01:59.involved a helicopter and lifeboats' and led to the closing

:01:59. > :02:03.of the areas main road, the A55. Tonight, it's the saving of the

:02:03. > :02:04.ship and the thousands of gallons of fuel on board that is the focus

:02:04. > :02:14.of attention. Our environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd, is

:02:14. > :02:18.

:02:18. > :02:23.there for us. Good evening. The wind is still

:02:23. > :02:27.extremely strong and the sea is rushing back in as the tide has

:02:27. > :02:35.turned. We will see what happens to this ship later on this evening.

:02:35. > :02:38.The sea is not as rough as last night but first of all, let's talk

:02:38. > :02:48.to the Coastguard Agency. Teams have been assessing the ship this

:02:48. > :02:49.

:02:49. > :02:53.afternoon. What have they found? have been on board and it they've

:02:53. > :02:58.been looking at the situation with the ship and the fields that

:02:58. > :03:02.remains on board. It remains intact within the ship. There has been a

:03:02. > :03:07.small amount lost but there is still quite a quantity on the ship.

:03:07. > :03:12.The big question is what happens to the diesel on board. How soon

:03:12. > :03:18.before an assessment can be made when that can be removed? We are

:03:18. > :03:26.trying to come up with a plant to present to the salvage officer and

:03:26. > :03:30.the insurer has so they can move forward with the operation.

:03:30. > :03:39.there a problem with the fact that the ship may well be buffeted again

:03:39. > :03:45.by this tide as it comes in? At the moment, the ship is upright and it

:03:45. > :03:50.is stable on the beach. We are hopeful that things will remain the

:03:50. > :03:56.same with the weather and we can continue with the operation.

:03:56. > :03:59.idea how long that she could be their? It is very difficult to put

:03:59. > :04:04.a time limit on that at the moment. We are very hopeful that things can

:04:04. > :04:12.progress very quickly and they can see some movement on the salvage of

:04:12. > :04:16.the fuel and the vessel itself. was a dramatic rescue last night.

:04:16. > :04:25.The salvage effort has been ongoing for most of the day to assess how

:04:25. > :04:30.soon it can be moved. Daylight and no let-up in the

:04:30. > :04:35.weather. The ship still hard against the North Wales coast. And

:04:35. > :04:41.still buffeted by high winds and rough seas. All seven crew were

:04:41. > :04:47.rescued last night. Today, thoughts returning to the salvage operation.

:04:47. > :04:51.That rescue last night was no -- was by no means routine. Lifeboats

:04:51. > :04:56.were first to the scene. This video filmed from one of them shows how

:04:56. > :05:01.challenging the conditions were. For life but had to observe because

:05:01. > :05:09.an approach from the sea was impossible. To get that close to

:05:09. > :05:14.where she was, the risk assessment was made that it was not safe to

:05:14. > :05:21.approach. We knew a helicopter was on its way so we were providing

:05:21. > :05:26.cover. That the rescue was possible it will was down to the bravery and

:05:26. > :05:32.skill of helicopter pilots. The first from Scotland managed to lift

:05:32. > :05:36.five crew members. When it went back for the remaining two, it's

:05:36. > :05:40.when she got caught. A second helicopter was called in from

:05:40. > :05:45.Yorkshire to complete the rescue. During the operations, the

:05:45. > :05:53.helicopters landed on the A55 and the road remained close until

:05:53. > :05:59.lunchtime today. Eyewitnesses say they have nothing but praise for

:05:59. > :06:04.the professionalism of the pilots. The helicopter itself had lit up

:06:04. > :06:12.the vote so you could see it moving around. It was quite a dramatic

:06:12. > :06:19.scene. Hats off to the RAF crews. Nobody would want to have been

:06:20. > :06:23.flying in those conditions last night. It was so cold. And we could

:06:23. > :06:30.hardly stand up because of the wind. The weather conditions were

:06:30. > :06:34.atrocious. I was concerned that they may have been fatalities.

:06:34. > :06:40.pilots their fantastic job. The weather was extremely bad and it

:06:40. > :06:48.was difficult to rescue seven people off the ship. It was moving

:06:48. > :06:53.a lot in stormy seas. They were brought here by ambulance and

:06:53. > :06:57.nobody was injured. The carrier is not unlike this one land which sank

:06:57. > :07:04.off Anglesey November with the loss of six crew. Both ships had sailed

:07:04. > :07:10.from the same quarry jetty at Llanddulas. The career is carrying

:07:10. > :07:14.few diesel. Now the tide has gone out you can see that the ship is

:07:14. > :07:18.sitting on sand at the bottom of the sea defences. Representatives

:07:18. > :07:26.of its owner at trying to assess the damage. That information will

:07:26. > :07:35.be key to Savas up -- to salvage operation. But nothing is likely to

:07:35. > :07:38.happen without a big improvement in the weather.

:07:38. > :07:43.So a successful rescue mission last night in ferocious weather. The

:07:43. > :07:50.focus now of courses on the 40,000 litres of diesel inside that ship

:07:50. > :07:54.and how to remove it. This is a special conservation area. The

:07:54. > :08:02.focus and the concern will still be there tonight even though there has

:08:02. > :08:05.not been any negative impact as yet. The main concern now seems to focus

:08:06. > :08:13.on fuel oil escaping and affecting the sea and coastline. Some diesel

:08:13. > :08:19.has escaped but experts in the salvage industry say the good news

:08:19. > :08:24.is that this is not a heavier more polluting type of fuel. This has

:08:24. > :08:28.the ring gas oil which is a lighter type of diesel. The bad news is,

:08:28. > :08:32.yes we've had this spill but the good news is it is a type of oil

:08:32. > :08:37.that breaks down and will dissipate and you won't have long-lasting

:08:37. > :08:42.effects. The the situation is not likely to have the same profound

:08:42. > :08:47.effect as the centre 2000 tonnes of crude oil which has -- escaped from

:08:47. > :08:52.the see of the tanker which ran aground off Pembrokeshire in 1996.

:08:52. > :08:56.That was Briton's third largest oil disaster. This is nothing in

:08:56. > :09:04.comparison to the Sea Empress. It is a small ship with only 24 tons

:09:04. > :09:14.of fuel oil aboard. The Royal Society for the Protection of birds

:09:14. > :09:16.has voiced concerns. Liverpool Bay is a special protection area and up

:09:16. > :09:24.to 10,000, and debts have been seen feeding a mile offshore during the

:09:24. > :09:31.past week. We remain anxious regarding the consequences to the

:09:31. > :09:35.potential release of the remaining fuel on board. Late this afternoon,

:09:35. > :09:39.the Environment Agency confirmed it was advising how best to remove the

:09:39. > :09:44.remaining oil from the ship. But any impact on the environment so

:09:44. > :09:51.far it says has been minimal. Any potential pollution is likely to be

:09:51. > :09:55.contained between Colwyn Bay and Rhyl.

:09:55. > :10:01.What may change of course is this tide and how it affects the ship

:10:01. > :10:05.but for now the salvage operation is hopeful that the weather will

:10:05. > :10:13.improve and they hope they will be able to remove the diesel of that

:10:13. > :10:16.ship. -- of that ship. What a difference a week makes.

:10:16. > :10:19.Days after that spring sunshine, many of us woke this morning to

:10:19. > :10:22.find a blanket of snow. Several inches fell in parts of North and

:10:22. > :10:25.Mid Wales, prompting the Met Office to issue a weather warning. Roads

:10:25. > :10:28.were affected and some bus services cancelled. Cemlyn Davies reports.

:10:28. > :10:31.A Christmas card scene at Easter. This was the village of Kerry this

:10:31. > :10:40.morning. The wintery conditions proving a challenge to these young

:10:40. > :10:47.lambs. And it was a white start for other parts of Mid Wales. The snow

:10:48. > :10:53.has also reached Ceredigion. I am near Aberystwyth where it is still

:10:53. > :10:56.snowing and the strong winds are causing blizzard conditions. In the

:10:57. > :10:59.north, motorists awoke to find they had their work cut out and there

:10:59. > :11:04.was disruption to public transport. The Horseshoe pass was closed

:11:04. > :11:07.between Llangollen and Llandegla. Throughout the day, many Wales

:11:07. > :11:12.Today viewers have been snapping away and sending us photos like

:11:12. > :11:15.these ones showing the conditions in various parts of the country.

:11:15. > :11:25.The Met Office asked people to 'be aware' and issued a yellow weather

:11:25. > :11:26.

:11:26. > :11:31.warning. For many, the snow came as a bit of a shock. We arrived back

:11:31. > :11:36.in Manchester at half past one in the morning and had to abandon the

:11:36. > :11:44.car halfway up the hill. It was quite a shock. I was not expecting

:11:44. > :11:50.so much considering last Again was so hot. I like this weather. I was

:11:50. > :11:52.disappointed this winter when there was no snow. Of course, this time

:11:52. > :11:57.last week things were very different, as Wales basked in its

:11:57. > :12:01.warmest March in half a century. Temperatures reached highs of 22C.

:12:01. > :12:08.Just a few days later, the hats and scarves are out again, though not

:12:08. > :12:10.everyone it seems is complaining. A full weather forecast with Derek

:12:10. > :12:13.later, but remember, you can always send us your pictures. We're on

:12:13. > :12:20.Twitter. Get in touch via the address on your screen. You can

:12:20. > :12:23.also contact us by e-mail at wales.today@bbc.co.uk.

:12:23. > :12:27.Charging for carrier bags in Wales has dramatically cut the amount we

:12:27. > :12:30.use. Figures obtained by BBC Wales from several leading supermarkets

:12:30. > :12:38.show some stores are reporting a fall in use of up to 90%. Abigail

:12:39. > :12:44.Neal reports. Would you like a bag? This is what

:12:44. > :12:47.shoppers expect these days and the answer is a resounding, "No". It's

:12:48. > :12:54.six months now since the five pence charge came into effect and it

:12:54. > :12:57.seems the message is getting across. It's no longer second nature now to

:12:57. > :13:00.expect a bag when we get to the checkout, and the result is that

:13:00. > :13:02.we're getting through millions fewer of these than we were. In

:13:02. > :13:09.2009, Welsh shoppers took home around 350 million carrier bags

:13:09. > :13:12.from the major supermarkets. Since the charge came in back in October

:13:12. > :13:17.last year, Sainsburys told us they've reduced the number of bags

:13:17. > :13:23.they get through by 90%. Tesco's report the same figure, though they

:13:23. > :13:30.say much of this came from their own initiatives pre-dating the levy.

:13:30. > :13:33.Co-Op have seen an 86% drop and Morrisons a 60% drop. One store

:13:33. > :13:42.manager in Swansea told me this is because we're either remembering to

:13:42. > :13:47.bring our own, or switching towards the more sustainable bags for life.

:13:47. > :13:52.At the service point, our colleagues are encouraged to ask if

:13:52. > :13:58.the customer would like a bad for life as opposed to a disposable bad.

:13:58. > :14:04.Generally, the take-up is pretty good. And small though the charge

:14:04. > :14:12.is, it is proving enough to change our habits. I keep them in the car

:14:12. > :14:17.and at home. I always remember. It is a habit now. If I remember the

:14:17. > :14:20.carrier bags, I don't mind that if I have to pay another 5p, I mind.

:14:20. > :14:23.Save the Children is one of the charities to benefit. Morrisons

:14:23. > :14:29.supermarkets donate all of their five pence charges to them and in

:14:29. > :14:34.the last six months that's added up to �135,000. Because we are

:14:34. > :14:40.receiving the money, we can be more ambitious about the number of

:14:40. > :14:43.children we can help. We can do more and at a time when family

:14:43. > :14:47.budgets are tight, there is a small amount of money being spread and

:14:47. > :14:49.lots of shoulders. It seems a little charge really has made a big

:14:49. > :14:52.difference. A school IT manager has been jailed

:14:52. > :14:54.for two years at Swansea Crown Court, after being caught with

:14:54. > :14:57.nearly 400,000 indecent images of children. Jeffrey Gravell, had

:14:57. > :14:59.stolen computers from Coedcae Comprehensive in Llanelli and used

:14:59. > :15:08.them to download the pictures and videos at his home. Investigators

:15:08. > :15:12.said they were certain that no pupils were involved.

:15:12. > :15:15.One of the most senior doctor's leaders in Wales has warned of the

:15:15. > :15:19.dangers of joining one of the rising number of "backstreet" cage

:15:19. > :15:21.fighting clubs. The sport has become more popular in the last few

:15:21. > :15:24.years, especially in Newport and the Gwent Valleys, where there's

:15:24. > :15:34.been an increase in the number of smaller, unregulated clubs. Jordan

:15:34. > :15:40.

:15:40. > :15:42.Davies has the story. This is the founder of the fart and

:15:42. > :15:47.clubbing Blaenau Gwent and he demonstrated takedown move. He has

:15:47. > :15:56.been teaching mixed martial arts, the official name for Cage fighting,

:15:56. > :16:01.for 20 years. Fighters he trained for months before a match. I can

:16:01. > :16:07.think of three instances where somebody has had no training at all

:16:07. > :16:14.but they have approached a promoter and said I will fight tonight. The

:16:14. > :16:18.promoter has said yes. Not even the Association of mixed martial-arts

:16:18. > :16:21.knows how many clubs there are in Wales. But if you look online there

:16:21. > :16:26.are plenty of website pointing people in the direction of smaller

:16:26. > :16:31.local groups that often have no professional tuition, no insurance

:16:31. > :16:36.and no official backing. Tournaments are now held regularly

:16:36. > :16:41.here. There are thought to be 20 to 30 clubs in Newport and the Gwent

:16:41. > :16:46.valleys and roughly 50 across Wales. But the majority of these will be

:16:46. > :16:49.and regulated. Dr David Bailey represents GPs will the country and

:16:49. > :16:54.he says these smaller and registered clubs are particularly

:16:55. > :17:01.dangerous. If things are not registered and don't have insurance,

:17:01. > :17:08.the risks are increased substantially because there is not

:17:08. > :17:12.proper cover and protections for people who get heard. The dream for

:17:12. > :17:16.many years to make it professionally. Cage fighting now

:17:16. > :17:20.reaches a billion home -- homes worldwide. These young fighters

:17:20. > :17:25.will learn how to get this safely but there are a growing number of

:17:25. > :17:28.people who are not and are putting themselves and those they face at

:17:28. > :17:31.risk. Much more to come before 7:00pm:

:17:31. > :17:41.Gold for Geraint Thomas as Britain's cyclists break the world

:17:41. > :17:42.

:17:42. > :17:45.record in Australia. Can they repeat it at the Olympics?

:17:45. > :17:47.Now, the latest in our series marking 30 years since the

:17:47. > :17:50.Falklands War. Tonight, the merchant seaman who sailed

:17:50. > :17:52.thousands of miles with the taskforce to help re-take the

:17:52. > :17:55.islands from Argentina. These civilians found themselves at the

:17:55. > :17:57.heart of the fighting as passenger and container ships were

:17:57. > :18:07.requisitioned. Some of the engine room crew were Somalis from Cardiff.

:18:07. > :18:14.

:18:14. > :18:18.Nick Palit reports. It is the spring of 1982 and

:18:18. > :18:22.shipping companies desperately need crew for the ocean-going liners.

:18:22. > :18:27.Not for the usual cruise around the Med but volunteers to be part of

:18:27. > :18:33.the naval task force setting sail to retake the Falkland Islands from

:18:33. > :18:39.Argentina. These Somalian Seaman from Cardiff were experienced

:18:39. > :18:49.engine room crew and jumped up the chance to defend British interests.

:18:49. > :18:55.

:18:55. > :18:59.As they boarded the coach in the Bute Town area, they were given

:18:59. > :19:06.this warning of the dangers that lie ahead. If it comes to a sea

:19:06. > :19:10.battle, the candidate will be possibly working within a war-zone.

:19:10. > :19:18.30 years on and we have found some of those crewmen from the coach

:19:18. > :19:28.party. Now 82, this man still lives in Cardiff Bay. They had the vivid

:19:28. > :20:01.

:20:01. > :20:05.4,000 soldiers were the passengers. The nation's and spare parts filled

:20:05. > :20:15.the hole. The ship was an obvious target but it was navigated into

:20:15. > :20:27.

:20:27. > :20:37.shallow waters so that troops could disembark and quickly get ashore.

:20:37. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:47.The ship came under fire from Argentinian planes. When we were

:20:47. > :20:52.attacked by airplanes, we were targeted through four times. I

:20:53. > :21:01.witnessed one ship being hit and sunk. It was just metres away from

:21:01. > :21:11.Our ship and it was a horrendous experience. What are the abiding

:21:11. > :21:13.

:21:13. > :21:15.memories of that time? Usually, I was never involved in a war and

:21:16. > :21:24.this was the first time and my biggest memory is the fear and

:21:24. > :21:26.worry a had of not being able to come back to my family. For the in

:21:26. > :21:33.the generation, there is considerable pride. This man says

:21:33. > :21:37.his father was an extremely brave man who deserves his medal for

:21:37. > :21:43.taking part in the conflict. went straight into the heart of the

:21:43. > :21:48.war-zone. They were a major target for the Argentinian air force. He

:21:48. > :21:58.knew that and he was very brave. Sammy about the medal you are

:21:58. > :22:03.

:22:03. > :22:10.wearing? It is a medal from the Queen. It is very precious.

:22:10. > :22:18.ship returned to a hero's welcome. A flotilla of votes escorted it

:22:18. > :22:22.into Southampton. Three decades on, they still feel they are lucky they

:22:22. > :22:25.made it home unscathed. Cardiff cyclist, Geraint Thomas,

:22:25. > :22:28.will head to the Olympics full of confidence after he helped Great

:22:28. > :22:30.Britain to Team Pursuit gold at the World Track Championships in

:22:30. > :22:36.Melbourne. The British quartet broke the world record as they beat

:22:36. > :22:40.favourites Australia on their own turf. Ashleigh Crowter reports.

:22:40. > :22:42.The signs were good for Geraint Thomas and his team. They'd

:22:42. > :22:47.produced the fastest ever qualifying time in a heat to set-up

:22:47. > :22:50.the final that everyone wanted. Great Britain hadn't beaten

:22:50. > :22:55.Australia in a major competition since their gold medal at the last

:22:55. > :23:00.Olympics in Beijing and so they needed to be at their absolute best.

:23:00. > :23:09.The lead changed hands in the first half of the four kilometre race. At

:23:09. > :23:13.the key stage of the race, Thomas imposed his power and experience.

:23:13. > :23:17.We are enter the final four laps. And from that point, the British

:23:17. > :23:27.team never lost the lead, although in the end it came down to just 11

:23:27. > :23:28.

:23:28. > :23:36.hundredths of a second. It reminds me of Manchester. We broke the

:23:36. > :23:41.world record then as well. We just have to keep pushing. It is all

:23:41. > :23:44.part of the process. We are happy but there is more to come. The new

:23:44. > :23:47.world champions appear to be peaking just at the right time.

:23:47. > :23:50.What price now that Geraint Thomas will become the first Welshman to
