of a ten-year-old girl from carefully have won their fight to | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
get extra funding to pay for their daughter's help. The family wanted | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
to move to a system of direct payments, available in other parts | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
of the UK, but the local social services department couldn't agree | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
who should pay. Ten-year-old Poppy has a condition | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
called Warburg micro-syndrome. She is blind and unable to walk or talk. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
She has to be fed by a tube into her stomach. For two years, her mum and | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
dad have been fighting to get more financial support to care for her at | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
home. They want to move on to a system of direct payment used in | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
other parts of the UK. But neither the health board or local social | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
services would take responsibility for the cost. Because she is tube | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
fed, and they say that needs to be done by a nurse, therefore they | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
won't give us payments because they won't use part of their budget to | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
pay for nursing needs. Where is the health side said that tube feeding | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
isn't a nursing need, and anyone can do it. We featured the couple's | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
struggle last month, and no social services have said they will | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
authorise direct payments. It means the world our family. It will mean a | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
better quality of the Poppy, with more help, people being able to help | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
us get to School, Bath, maybe swim more, do therapy her and things. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
family hope that this will help other families facing the same | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
battle for funding. The local MP wants the local government to look | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
into the issue of when health board and social services claim it is the | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
others job to help. Crews were called to Alexander hotel | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
in London this morning after a fire started in the roof will stop no one | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
was injured. The extent of the damage is confined to the top floor | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
in terms of smoke and fire damage. There was a lot of water damage and | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the rest of the Hotel because there was a lot of water used to put out | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
the fire, and that has had to soak down through the building, and it | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
has gone through all the floors. We anticipate the hotel will be closed | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
for at least four weeks. Thank God we managed to get people out of the | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
building very fast through the good officers and my staff, we were able | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
to get them accommodated in the nearby hotel on the promenade. | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
On the opening day of the Eisteddfod in Pembrokeshire, the festival has | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
been discussing how it should develop in the future to attract | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
more visitors. A new fund has been set-up to encourage people to use | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
Welsh services online. It wasn't the weather that the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
organiser would have wanted, but away from the mud and the mice, | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
there were debates on how best to improve the Eisteddfod experience. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
It is hoped that changes will attract additional visitors dash up | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
to 20,000 more each year. People tell us we need to strengthen this | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
festival. Not a place passed by whilst the children compete, but to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
provide an exciting experience. You'll be beloved, with innovative | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
ideas, such as a technology Pavilion, longer days, more | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
performance tents, and so on. Ensuring the Welsh language thrives | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
in a digital age is the aim of a new fund announced today. The minister | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
responsible for the language says three quarters of �1 million will be | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
made available over the next three years to help develop services on | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
phones, tablet and the web. We want to in courage people do come forward | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
with ideas for social media opportunities which can be developed | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
through the medium of Welsh. We want to ensure that young people | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
particularly have the opportunity to live their lives through the medium | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
of Welsh. Just over 16,500 turned up today, down 7000 on last year's | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
opening day. �1.5 million is to be spent | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
protecting Welsh wildlife after a report warned wildlife was facing | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
increasing pressure from climate change, loss of habitat and disease. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Welsh Government says the money will be used to strengthen the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
environment against climate change. Some rugby news for you and the | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
British and Irish Lions fly out to Hong Kong later head of their tour | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
of Australia. They will play the Barbarians at the weekend before | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
heading down under. 15 Welsh players are in the touring party. They have | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
an extra time together, having not been involved in end of season club | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
finals. The players coming into the squad are battle hardened. They are | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
coming in with confidence, but a lot of the Welsh players have had two | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
weeks together as well, and we have trained them pretty hard. We have | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
got up to a level intensity and expectation, to gain awareness and | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
understanding. It will be interesting to see between the two | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
sets of players who hits the ground running the best. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
It has been a fairly wet and miserable day for many of us. Let's | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
:06:08. | :06:09. | ||
get a full check on the weather the bank holiday for many of us, but | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
at least we have had some dry and bright weather, and the rain will | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
start to clear as we go through this evening. It will slowly but surely | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
move further inland and linger on along the border. The wind is much | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
lighter, temperatures getting down to around six Celsius, so it will be | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
a chilly night. The rain will be more stubborn the further inland you | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
are. A few showers could be heavy at times. Temperatures disappointing | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
for the time of year, ranging from 11 to 12 Celsius, but the wind will | :06:43. | :06:48. |
