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

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.

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
