power cuts to thousands of homes. Now we can join the news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story. Welsh scientists lead a | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
breakthrough in understanding what causes Alzheimer's disease in the | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
largest ever analysis of patients' DNA. The reason we work -- look for | :00:11. | :00:23. | |
genes is that they will pinpoint the mechanisms, the biological | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
components of the disease that are going wrong. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Unlocking memories, how this room is helping patients with dementia | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
remember their past. Our other headlines. | :00:33. | :00:53. | |
The big clean up after last night's flooding, but most of us got off | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
relatively lightly. Ann Clwyd, the MP for the Cynon | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Valley. Her report into the NHS says delay and denial over complaints | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
must come to an end. Reunited with their rescuers, the | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
people picked up by Moelfre lifeboat come back to say thank you for | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
saving our lives. It is only when you need them that you actually | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
think how good and professional and how good a charity it is. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Good evening. It's been described as a major breakthrough in the | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
understanding of Alzheimer's and could pave the way for new | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
treatments. Scientists from Wales have helped identify eleven extra | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
genes that are linked to the condition and have confirmed there | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
is a connection to the immune system. The worldwide research was | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
jointly led by a team at Cardiff University. Our health correspondent | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
Owain Clarke has the story. Around 50,000 people in Wales have dementia | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and most cases are caused and Alzheimer's. The illness causes the | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
brain to deteriorate. It did the thousands of deaths each year. The | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
breakthrough came as a result of hundreds of geneticist across the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
globe working together. It confirms the involvement of the immune | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
system. That knowledge can lead to new treatment. We are seeing strong | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
patterns within these genes. A number of them are implicating the | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
immune system. Our imminent response is a causal factor. I really wish | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
the molecular biologists would get together around the world by the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
geneticists have done and pool their resources as that is the only way we | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
will get to the answer is and new treatments quickly. An international | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
team led by scientists here at Cardiff University worked for two | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
years analysing genetic variations in almost 75,000 people from across | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Europe and the United States. They compare the genetic make-up of | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
people with Alzheimer's with similar individuals not affected. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Previously, scientists have known ten genes. This research discovered | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
11 more dreams which can make people -- genes which can make people | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
susceptible. It is a feather in everyone's cup who has been involved | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
in this work was it involves a lot of people and a lot of significant | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
effort and particularly we have been very lucky to get support from | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
patients and sufferers with the condition who have allowed | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
researchers in to their homes. It is hoped the findings can help doctors | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
identify people who are at risk of developing the disease. Eventually, | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
worldwide, millions of people could benefit from this research. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Scientists raced here are leading the way. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Dr James Picket is head of research from the Alzheimer's Society he's in | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
our London studio. Dr Picket, this discovery of these additional genes | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
has been hailed as a breakthrough, but what does it mean in real terms | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
for sufferers of the disease now? Good evening. We cannot get too | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
carried away that this has immediate unfit for people who living with | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
dementia today. But it gives us a lot of hope that in the future we | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
can make further significant progress to demystify the brain | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
processes that go on giving the disease. From that, we will have | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
further understanding of the disease and potentially further new options | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
as well. There's a strong link to the immune | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
system, so is this where scientists focus their efforts on now? Exactly | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
that. But we have got today is 11 genes and that opens up 11 new | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
possibilities of identifying new mechanisms to understand how they | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
are involved in the disease. This confirms what we have suspected for | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
a while. It leads to new images which we are not working in India -- | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
at the moment. This effort was an international | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
one, lead by the scientists in Cardiff, they are now calling for | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
other specialists to work together. Is this collaborative research the | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
way forward? Absolutely. But we have seen today is the worlds largest | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
ever study of genetics which has been co-ordinated by Cardiff. It | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
involved over 150 different laboratories and many hundreds of | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
scientists around the world. But we have seen is clear evidence that if | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
we come together to tackle this problem globally then we can | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
actually make significant progress. We would now like to see other | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
sectors of the trinity get-together in a collaborative way to understand | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
what role these genes play. Realistically, what kind of time | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
scale are we looking at before we can prevent and cure this | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
debilitating disease? I think that is a very difficult question for us | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
to say with any certainty. But we are seeing now is a real momentum | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
building. We are seeing proper investment going in to dementia | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
research. We are beginning to see the results of that. We need | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
prolonged investments that we can capitalise on these findings. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Later we'll be reporting on how one NHS trust in Wales has developed a | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
novel way of trying to help dementia patients regain their long term | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
memories. We were warned about it for days but | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
Wales escaped the worst of the great storm. While powerful winds caused | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
widespread damage in southern England, flooding was the main | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
problem here cancelling train services and closing roads. Tonight, | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
river levels remain high and people are being warned to stay away from | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
river banks. It is mugged, that is the problem here in Tintern. Lots of | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
it. Bar staff have been up since the early hours housing, scrubbing and | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
sweeping to avoid losing valuable trade. It was much deeper in the | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
restaurant. The tables and menus were floating around. It is not just | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
the water, it is the mode as well. We have a hosepipe inside. The | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
damage is not that searchers. They are hoping to open this evening. It | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
seems the rest of Wales got off lightly as well. There was localised | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
flooding on some drugs dealing rush hour. In the Vale of Glamorgan they | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
worked to clear roads with police saying some had abandoned the cars | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
pulled up the second Severn Crossing was real and for the rush-hour | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
traffic at six o'clock this morning. People are still on alert for | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
flooding from rivers for top officials are monitoring river | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
levels closely and checking for flood defences. We advise people not | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
to go through -- near the livers because the banks are slippy. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
There's a lot of standing water on the roads. Leeds have come off the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
trees and into the galleys. That means rainwater is not training away | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
as fast as we would like. Many local authorities were on high alert over | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
the weekend, preparing for the worst. Sandbags were filled and | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
trains were cleared. It cleared up goes on for some but tonight, many | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
say they are relieved they escaped the worst of the weather. | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
Let's have a word with Derek Brockway. It wasn't as bad for Wales | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
as expected. We knew there was a storm coming. There was also | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
uncertainty about the intensity and exact track it would take. The | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
forecast was spot on the southern England but less so for Wales. No | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
forecast is set in stone for top forecasts are much more accurate | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
than do is to be but things can change at the last minute and that | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
is exactly what happened. A small change in the position of the centre | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
of the low can make all the difference. We have some great | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
satellite pictures from the Met office. These show the storm clouds | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
moving in from the Atlantic towards Britain. The storm the world by cold | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
air and warm a mixing in the atmosphere. The pressure chart tells | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
a story quite nicely. We have low-pressure moving north-east roads | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
and deepening foot of the eye of the storm passed over Wales for a time. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
The wind dropped and a scam for a time. Guests of up to 80 miles an | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
hour over eastern England. There was a risk of gales for part of South | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Wales but we escaped those. It was a near miss. It was only about 50 | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
miles away towards the Bristol area and Wiltshire. It was a near miss, | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
we were lucky, it could have been a lot worse. We will have a full | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
weather forecast later. There are thousands of houses across | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Wales that are used as second homes, often only occupied during the | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
holidays. Owners say they contribute to the local economy and encourage | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
tourism. But critics say they damage communities and push locals out of | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the housing market. A consultation has been underway looking at whether | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
second home owners should pay more council tax. | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
You can see I'm so many want to come here. This is Anglesey, a hotspot | :11:03. | :11:22. | |
for second homes. Here, the figure is even greater than the figure for | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
the whole of Britain. Phil Johnson from Cheshire bought his place seven | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
years ago. Second home owners have an important place in the economy, | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
he says. He Welsh Assembly are trying to encourage tourism and a | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
big part of that is people who come here on weekends and bank holidays | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
and school holidays and bring in money that is spent in local shops, | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
bars and restaurants. That is a big part of the economy. Take that away | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
and it will have a big effect on employment. But critics argue a hope | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
proportion of second homes can have a negative effect. House prices up. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Putting homes beyond the place of locals. Shops are also left without | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
customers for many -- long part of the year. Income while they went | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
tanning powers to limit the number of second homes was up an idea that | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
is being looked at in ways that it has been rejected by the Welsh | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
Government as impractical. It is a contentious issue and also has added | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
problems involving language and culture. It has been suggested that | :12:50. | :13:03. | |
second home owners should be charged extra in their council taxes. Some | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
have more than one second home. It is to do with redistribution of | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
wealth. Those with the ability to pay can assist those who are | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
struggling in the housing market. That is crazy. That would upset the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
balance as it is at the moment. People would think twice about | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
having second homes. Those supporting a rise in council tax for | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
second homes say it could help to pay for affordable homes for locals. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Second home owners say they would feel penalised. It is a delicate | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
balance to be struck. Much more to come before seven | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
o'clock. Reunited with their rescuers, the people picked up by | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Moelfre lifeboat come back to say thank you for saving our lives. | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
A review led by a Welsh MP has called for a revolution in the way | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
the NHS handles complaints. Ann Clwyd, who has claimed her late | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
husband was treated like a battery hen at a Cardiff hospital, says he | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
would still be alive today if her recommendations had been implemented | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
in Wales. Our parliamentary correspondent David Cornock is at | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Westminster. David, what does the review say? Ann Clwyd was to make it | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
easier for patients and their families to make complaints and make | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
it harder for hospital managers to ignore those complaints. There would | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
be practical things such as a notepad and pen at your bedside in a | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
hospital so that you can raise concerns and hospital managers would | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
be responsible for sub senior managers would have to respond to | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
every complaint and they would -- there would have to be an annual | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
report setting out the complaints for a hospital and what had been | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
done about them? This report has been commissioned by the Health | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Secretary in England but it has been inspired by -- by what happened to | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Ann Clwyd and her late husband. He died one year ago. She says he was | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
treated like a battery hen. I asked her the day what difference she | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
thought the changes she was proposing would make the Mac? I | :15:28. | :15:39. | |
think my husband would still be alive if these changes had been | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
implemented for. The kinds of letters I have had from people | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
detail similar experiences. It is just not right that patient who are | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
at their most vulnerable as individuals, their concerns can be | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
brushed aside and dismissed as though they were not important. The | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has previously apologised for | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
failings in care. Today, it says it fears the report within just suggest | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
Ann Clwyd publish the full report and so fat she has not done that. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
She has chosen not to do so. They have board says it would be pleased | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
if she would publish the full report into the circumstances surrounding | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
her husband 's death. What are the chances of the proposals being | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
implemented in Wales? The health minister has welcomed the report. He | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
says he has been talking to Ann Clwyd and they are in agreement in | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
terms of the need for improvement for that she will meet the first | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Minister next week and they will have plenty to talk about. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
More than 60 jobs are being created at the Village Bakery on Wrexham | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Industrial Estate. The ?1.8-million expansion has been supported by a | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
grant from the Welsh Government of more than half a million pounds. The | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
investment will allow the business to buy new equipment and introduce | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
new products. House prices are continuing to slide | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
in Wales while they are rising everywhere in the UK. Figures from | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
the Land Registry show the average price of a house in Wales fell more | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
than one percent, while across the whole of England and Wales they went | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
up 3.4%. The steepest falls were in Merthyr Tydfil where average prices | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
dropped by more than 4%. The First Minister has launched | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
Wales' commemoration plans which will mark the centenary of the | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
outbreak of World War One. Speaking at the Museum of the Welsh Soldier | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
at Cardiff Castle, Carwyn Jones announced that every secondary | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
school in Wales will receive one thousand pounds to develop their own | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
remembrance projects. Earlier, we told you about | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
breakthrough research into treatment for Alzheimer's led by Cardiff | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
University. Well, one NHS Trust in Wales is using nostalgic props like | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
lava lamps and coronation mugs to unlock the long term memories of | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
dementia patients. Special reminiscence areas are being used in | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
two hospitals near Cardiff where wards have been turned into time | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
capsules. Flying ducks, bakelite radios, | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
formica tables, common place in most homes during the 1950s but not what | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
you'd expect to see in a modern hospital. This post war living room | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
is in the dementia unit at Barry hospital. Across town, at a similar | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
unit in Llandough, there's a 1970s feel where it's all lava lamps and | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
Look-In magazines. These reminscence areas are being used to transport | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
patients like Brian and Anne back to happier times. They both have early | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
onset dementia but they find this environment familiar and calming. It | :18:51. | :19:05. | |
is nice. Some things take you back to remember. It means you of nice | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
times we used to have. We have loads of those. Hospitals can be | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
unsettling environments for patients with Alzheimer's. But doctors here | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
have found that these nostalgic spaces can help with their | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
treatment. It means we are engaging with clients about long-term | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
memories. That can be therapeutic and rewarding if you're short term | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
memory is not as good as it is to be full stop that is research that this | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
can be as effective as medication. Cardiff and Vale University Health | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
Board currently uses three remeniscence areas in its hospitals. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
This one looks like a 1950s cinema. They're the brainchild of inventor | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
Richard Ernest, who earlier this year braved the Dragon's Den and | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
secured a ?100,000-investment in his idea. He calls these pop up | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
nostalgia zones "rempods" and inspiration came from an elderly | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
neighbour whose wife had Alzheimer's disease. He makes all the rempods at | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
his offices in Gloucestershire, where he told me about his latest | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
designs. I have just done a new chain guard and it is a vintage idea | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
where people can make. It is to be their passion. The stories around | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
the old kitchen table. I wanted to recreate that the world. More than | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
60 NHS trusts across the UK have installed Rempods in their hospitals | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
and day care units. In Wales, Cardiff and Vale is the only health | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
board to have bought in to the idea, although they are being used in | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
private care homes. The memorabilia may be vintage but the need to find | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
new ways of helping the growing number of dementia patients in Wales | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
couldn't be more current. Rugby, cricket and football now | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
here's Ashleigh. Lots of people having their say | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
about Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips today. He has said he will issue | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
legal proceedings against his club. He's been sacked by his club, | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Bayonne, for turning up drunk to a team meeting. He said he was | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
extremely frustrated and disappointed by the decision was up | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
he said he heard about his dismissal through a French interview on | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
television this morning. The Basque club's chairman in the French press | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
saying Phillips' actions were inexcusable and treason. He says he | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
will continue to concentrate and put all his efforts for the Wales team. | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
But his former coach at the Ospreys, Sean Holley says the Lions | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
scrum-half is misunderstood. Phillips is due to join the Wales | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
squad this week ahead of the autumn internationals. Warren Gatland has | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
already said events in France won't affect his involvement in the | :21:52. | :21:52. | |
matches. Wales coach Warren Gatland will be | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
taking questions on this and all the big rugby stories on Radio Wales | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Sport at seven o'clock tonight. To get involved, tweet your question to | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
@bbcradiowales. Former England fast bowler Simon | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Jones says he's already had interest from other counties after Glamorgan | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
decided not to offer him a new deal. Jones wanted to end his career in | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Wales, but has been told by new chief executive Hugh Morris that | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
there's no budget for a new contract. Jones will only play 20 | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
over cricket from next season. He also wants to do more work, | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
mentoring young players. That disappointed me. I felt I had more | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
to offer at Glamorgan off the field as well. For them not to offer me | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
anything like that was a tough thing. I am sure he will do an | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
exceptional job in Glamorgan. Swansea City captain Ashley Williams | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
says he's ready for Sunday's Premier League derby against Cardiff after | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
coming through his first match for five weeks unscathed. He played the | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
full 90 minutes of yesterday's goalless draw against West Ham, the | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
same score that Cardiff achieved against Norwich. Sunday's first | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
all-Welsh Premier League derby will be refereed by Mike Dean. He was hit | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
by a coin, thrown from the crowd, the last time he took charge of the | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
fixture in 2009. In the women's game, Jess Fishlock | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
says she hopes to play in Wales' next World Cup qualifier, despite | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
breaking her wrist in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against England. The Welsh | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
captain played most of the match in real pain, but now hopes to get | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
permission from FIFA to wear a soft cast for the game in Montenegro in | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
four weeks. Wales are currently second in their qualifying group and | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
remain positive about their prospects despite the England | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
defeat. Finally tonight, Chaz Davies from | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Knighton will be racing for Ducati in next year's World Superbikes. | :23:37. | :23:37. | |
Jamie. The Moelfre Lifeboat crew has been | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
reunited with people they rescued over the summer as part of a | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
campaign to raise money for a new lifeboat station. The existing | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
boathouse is too small for the crew's newest vessel. Those who've | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
experienced the life-saving work of the Moelfre volunteers say they'll | :23:53. | :23:53. | |
be eternally grateful. It was a busy summer for the Moelfre | :23:54. | :24:06. | |
Lifeboat crew. Last June they were called to help the King family who | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
were in a speedboat off Amlwch which was hit by several large waves. Our | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
daughter was taken next. She was having a bad panic attack at the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
point. We had to be winced aboard the helicopter. For me, it was the | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
most amazing experience. Looking back, it was pretty scary at the | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
time. Today, Mr and Mrs King relived their rescue, watching the footage | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
gathered by the crew's helmet mounted cameras and thanked their | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
rescuers. We have always supported them but when you actually needed | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
them, you think how good and professional and what a fabulous | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
charity it is. This new boat will not be able to fit into this old | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
boathouse. It is moored offshore. -- The new lifeboat is moored offshore | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
as it's too big for the existing 104-year-old station. Work will be | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
finished next year at a cost of ?9 million hence the appeal for | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
donations. We go out and do other job and the lifeboat. This year has | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
seen a huge amount of people coming back to thank as. It is nice to see. | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
The King family and others here today have been given a helping hand | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
by Moelfre's volunteers, and by backing the fundraising campaign | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
they're returning the favour. Derek's back. Let's get the weather | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
forecast. Wales may have missed the worst of | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
the gales but we did receive some heavy rain. Cardiff was the wettest | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
place in the UK last night with over 40mm. There are five flood alerts in | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
force this evening. The storm that hit southern and eastern England | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
earlier today has now moved away and is battering southern Scandinavia | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
and the Baltic with hurricane force winds. Here in Wales, a breezy | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
night. Strong winds on exposed coasts and hills. Some dry, clear | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
weather but further showers as well. Heavy in places with hail. The wind | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
gusty in the showers and a colder night than recently. Lowest | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
temperatures six to eight Celsius. Here's the picture for eight in the | :26:23. | :26:25. | |

Lleyn Peninsula. Blustery showers in parts of North and Mid Wales. | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Further south and west, drier and brighter. Some sunshine and windy on | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
the coast. So a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers tomorrow. Most | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
of the showers in the north. A few in Powys and Ceredigion. The showers | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
easing later in the afternoon. The best of the dry weather and sunshine | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
in the south and west. Breezy. Strong winds on exposed coasts and | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
hills in the north and west. And feeling cool. Top temperatures eight | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
to 11 Celsius. Tomorrow night, a few showers in the south and west. | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Otherwise dry. The wind lighter and a cold night. Some ground frost | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
inland, especially in the countryside. Wednesday, a chilly | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
start. Dry for a time. Just one or two showers but rain is expected | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
later in the morning and afternoon. The wind picking-up as well. Gale | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
force in the northwest. The rain will clear overnight leaving | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
Thursday breezy with a mixture of sunshine and showers. Some heavy | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
showers and gusty winds. So changeable over the next few days. | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
Breezy, even windy at times. Later on Friday into Saturday, low | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
pressure may bring another dose of heavy rain and strong to gale force | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
winds. Tonight, the firms cashing in on the | :27:35. | :27:50. | |
government 's green deal. We are looking at the business practices of | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
one boss in particular. The woman whose energy bill went up by more | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
than 300% because of a mistake by the power company. Join as later. We | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
will have an update for you later at eight o'clock and after the BBC News | :28:06. | :28:06. | |
at ten. | :28:07. | :28:08. |
