Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: Hundreds spend a | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
night away from home as Aberystwyth seafront is again evacuated. Now the | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
arguments begin over the clean-up bill. We have never had anything to | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
this extent. It has been like a war zone down here. As our coastal | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
defences take another battering, could anything really save our low | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
lying communities in future? could anything really save our low | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
is a limit in terms of time and resources that can be spent | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
is a limit in terms of time and protecting our natural coastline. | :00:37. | :00:47. | |

Good evening. In tonight's sport: Cup celebrations. Swansea make it an | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
historic day at Old Trafford, while Cardiff's new boss enjoys a | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
memorable win on his debut. Good evening. Hundreds of people are | :01:09. | :01:20. | |
facing a night away from home tonight as buildings along the | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
seafront in Aberystwyth are once again evacuated in preparation for | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
more bad weather along the Ceredigion coast. High tides and | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
strong winds have battered parts of Wales for a fourth day. Towns and | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
villages all along our coastline have started cleaning up after the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
bad storms and communities are starting to count the cost of the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
damage brought by this weekend's bad weather. Charlotte Dubenskij | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
reports. It has been another day of taking | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
shelter for people living near the seafront in Aberystwyth. This | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
morning hundreds were asked to leave their homes and head for rest | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
centres as high tides and strong winds battered the promenade once | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
again. This Victorian shelter has buckled under the strain put on it | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
by the severe weather. Students at Aberystwyth University have now been | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
told they will be able to return to the polls on the seafront until | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
inspections are carried out tomorrow. -- calls. This video shows | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
the dangers of living so close to the front. The seafront is fairly | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
empty today but as the waves continued to batter against the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
promenade and with high tide expected just before midnight | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
tonight Ceredigion councillors urging residents to stay away rest | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
centre has been set up at a local leisure centre. The focus remains on | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
ensuring the safety of people here, Ceredigion councillors already | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
making plans to rebuild the promenade. When we do redesign the | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
prom and I think it will have to be redesigned, will have to make sure | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
it is in a better position to withstand these heavy seas. We also | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
need something further out in the bay to take the sting out of the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
bigger waves. Much of Wales has been hit either severe weather. The | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
promenade into Ganley had suffered in the last month but now the | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
village has been hit by a tidal surge. We've had experiences like | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
this in the past with the prom has been damaged and the waves have come | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
into the garden but we've never had anything to this extent and the | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
zone. We are going to have to do major | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
zone. We are going to have to do more defences. At | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
zone. We are going to have to do Pembrokeshire many roads remained | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
zone. We are going to have to do rocks thrown up | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
zone. We are going to have to do Tomorrow, work will begin to clear | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
away the debris. This sea wall in Carmarthenshire was ripped apart the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
other Railtrack. Services remain suspended. For some the clean-up | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
operation has begun and many are already counting the cost. This cafe | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
was badly damaged in the storms this weekend. This is the cafe as it is | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
now. The counter used to be here right across there. Those windows | :04:25. | :04:38. | |
have gone completely. It came straight through and took the | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
counter. The bill for the damage across Wales is already estimated to | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
be millions of pounds. I am not going to be surprised when we hear | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the figure of seven figures in Conway. Our seared -- sea defences | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
have taken a battering. Some councils like Ceredigion have | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
already said they can't afford the repairs. They have called on the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Welsh Government for help. The natural resources Minister has urged | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
councils in the need to apply for emergency funding. But he said they | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
would be no blank cheque. -- they would be no. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
So as the cost of repairing storm damage is being calculated, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
questions are now being asked about how we can protect our coastline | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
from such devastation in future. The Welsh Government says a review is | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
needed into our existing flood defences. But experts say it's | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
difficult and probably too expensive to protect the whole of Wales and | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
some parts of the coastline may have to be sacrificed. More from our | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd. | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
They are here to protect us from the sea and these defences along the | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
North Wales coast have held over the past few days. But two weeks before | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Christmas this area in Kinnell Bay did have sea water crashing over. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
After flooding in Ruthin a few years ago and with extreme weather | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
becoming more common there records the flooding to be prioritised. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Flooding should be at the top of the priority list in my opinion. We have | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
a situation where we know flooding is becoming a more red alert feature | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
in Wales. Natural Resources Wales has been created and frankly they | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
have got too many fingers into many pies. They have such broad | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
responsibilities, they cant focus attention on floods. Authorities | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
across Wales are picking up the pieces and are facing repair bills | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
that could run into thousands of pounds. Roads like this one | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
that could run into thousands of need to be prepared and this railway | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
track in need to be prepared and this railway | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
of the storms. This golf course has lost its 12th hole to the sea. And | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
yet lost its 12th hole to the sea. And | :06:55. | :07:07. | |
on coastal defences in Wales. Six years ago the National Trust report | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
advocated leaving some areas of the Coast undefended and called it a | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
managed retreat. What about the policy of the government? Is it | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
sustainable in the long run? It can't be and we have to take stock | :07:24. | :07:44. | |
of what we can afford to protect. This was the storm that hit | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Aberystwyth in 1938. This time the damage is expected to run into | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
millions. Winter storms are expected at this time of year but there is | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
concerned that our weather is becoming more unpredictable and more | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
extreme. The environment agency has merged with two other organisations | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
to form Natural Resources Wales and it has the responsible are treated | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
you with flooding. This is the incident room in Cardiff. Flood | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
warnings are part of the duties. They have now also been tasked by | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
the government to review flood defences across the country. A large | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
number of our staff at the moment are assessing the damage to flood | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
defences -- defences. As work continues to assess the damage the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
government has said that local councils could apply for emergency | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
funding. They will have to look within their own an emergency | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
financial assistance scheme and if they feel they need to come forward | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
with a bitter that funding, they can do that. The Welsh Government will | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
face calls from local authorities to help a for the damage after the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
recent storms. What is needed in the longer term is to see whether | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
ministers feel they are following the policies and if they have enough | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
money to protect all homes and businesses from coastal and river | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
flooding. The man convicted of killing April | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Jones will seek leave to appeal against his jail term at a hearing | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
later this month. Mark Bridger, who's 47, was given a whole-life | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
sentence last year. Five-year-old April went missing from near her | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
home in Machynlleth. Her body has never been found. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
A health board in Wales is urging people to avoid A unless it's an | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
emergency. Abertawe Bro University Health Board says it's | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
because of an increase in sick older people. 18 routine operations at | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
Morriston and Singleton hospitals have been postponed today to make | :09:54. | :09:54. | |
room for emergency patients have been postponed today to make | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
A rise in cases of norovirus have been postponed today to make | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
causing ward closures at a number of hospitals. | :10:06. | :10:05. | |
causing ward closures at a number of Plans for a so-called "super-prison" | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
in Wrexham could get the go-ahead if councillors give it their backing | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
this evening. Initial planning permission is needed for the jail, | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
which would house 2,000 inmates. There are a number of objections | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
from local people and environmental groups but others say it'll deliver | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
a boost to the economy. Matthew Richards is at Wrexham Council | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
headquarters. Plenty of the residents whose homes | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
will face any new prison are here to show their opposition to the plans. | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
It would be the equivalent of having the population of Cardiff Prison and | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Bridgend's Parc Prison on their doorsteps. But local businesses are | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
being urged to reap the economic benefits if the plans go ahead. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
This is the kind of jail which could be built in Wrexham. A Category C | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
super-prison which would house more than 2,000 inmates over a 76,000 | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
square metre compound bordered by a five metre high fence. But it would | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
be just 500 feet from the nearest homes. Concerned residents haven't | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
been reassured following disturbances at oak-wood, a similar | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
scale prison near Wolverhampton at the weekend. That does not give | :11:20. | :11:31. | |
confidence local people. There are four empty houses and they have | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
never been four empty houses on this estate. Why? People have gone | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
because of the concerns about the prison and the impact it will have | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
on this community. Wrexham councillors are being asked to | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
approve outline planning permission to the Ministry of Justice at a | :11:48. | :12:07. | |
meeting this evening. They've been told the new prison will create | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
hundreds of jobs when it's being built and when it's operating. | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
Despite claims that most jobs will go to those outside the area, some | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
believe many local businesses could capitalise on the prison if it gets | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
the go-ahead. It is important that local businesses take advantage of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
this opportunity. They will begin an opportunity to do so. There is a | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
supplier event taking place in the middle of this month for businesses | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
to put their proposals forward. And away from the proposed site, people | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
in Wrexham seemed generally supportive of the development. There | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
are job opportunities. As long as they don't escape, I don't see a | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
problem. All our prisons are overcrowded and we have to build a | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
prison somewhere. Why shouldn't overcrowded and we have to build a | :12:55. | :13:10. | |
and bus services as well as overcrowded and we have to build a | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
community projects. But for some here, that will be scant | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
compensation for housing 2,000 prisoners. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Some residents have said they think this a den deal and it will happen | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
whatever they say but the council says it wants to make this a | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
transparent process. We will bring you the results of the decision | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
today in our later bulletins. Tata Steel has been fined for safety | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
failings after a worker needed a partial amputation of two of his | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
fingers. The man's hand was trapped and crushed in a pair of steel pinch | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
rolls at the company's Trostre site in Llanelli. The Health and Safety | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Executive found there was insufficient guarding equipment on | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
the machinery and fined the company ?25,000, plus more than ?8,000 | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
costs. The standards that local councils | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and national parks will be expected to meet when providing services in | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
Welsh have been published by the Welsh Government. The initial draft | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
by Welsh language Commissioner, Meri Huws, was rejected by ministers last | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
year. The proposals include making Welsh the priority on bilingual | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
signs. Language campaigners say, as a result services could become | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
worse. The standards could become law in November. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
As concern grows for the Newport teenager who vanished three days | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
after Christmas, police are widening their search in her home town. Nida | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Ul Naseer, who's 18, had a row with her family before she went missing, | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
but they say her disappearance is completely out of character. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Caroline Evans reports. For nine days now, police have been | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
looking for Nida. Today, they were out again combing parts of Newport | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
for any clue. The 18-year-old, said to be a quiet and shy girl and who's | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
afraid of the dark, vanished from her home on December 28th. This | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
morning, her family renewed their appeal for information. If you know | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
anything, tell us or call the police. We just want to know she is | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
safe. At the Coleg Gwent campus in Newport where she's a student, they | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
are doing what they can to help the search, issuing their own appeal for | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
information on Facebook and handing out leaflets. The principle told me | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
her father and sister are also students here and everyone is just | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
waiting for news. It is a very difficult time for us. She started | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
college in September last year and undertook a level three business | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
course and has proven to be an exceptionally talented student. She | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
has attended regularly and is doing well. Every indication before | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
Christmas was that she was going to return and continue with your | :15:53. | :15:53. | |
studies. Nida return and continue with your | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
stepping outside her home to put out rubbish. She left with | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
stepping outside her home to put out mobile phone. Her family say | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
stepping outside her home to put out had been a family row, but all they | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
stepping outside her home to put out want is for her to come home safe. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
We want to see here here. Police priority for the force, with 40 | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
officers still working on the case. About a mile in that direction is | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Nida's home. This way is her college. Bit by bit, the police are | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
searching all possible routes she may be familiar with. But so far | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
they've found nothing and her disappearance remains a complete | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
mystery. Much more to come before 7:00pm. A | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
full weather forecast and all of tonight's sport, including what does | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
the current regional rugby row mean for the grassroots clubs with a foot | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
in both camps? Pupils have spent their first day | :16:49. | :17:03. | |
back at Cwmcarn High School after it closed 14 months ago over concerns | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
about asbestos exposure. The work to remove the material was delayed | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
after a contractor died on site. Jordan Davies reports. | :17:12. | :17:25. | |
Excitement in this French class after they are back at Cwmcarn High | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
School. The children are happy as well. It has been 14 months since | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
they have been behind these desks. You can stay after school if you | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
want any help and the teachers are there for you. Lots of my friends | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
moved away so I didn't have many friends when we moved to Ebbw Vale. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
All 900 pupils had to leave in October 2012 after concern about | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
asbestos in the buildings. They were toured in Ebbw Vale, 12 miles away. | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
The journey especially difficult for some during last winter's snow. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Clinics were set up like this one at risk the rugby club for anyone | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
concerned about their health. But did the work need to happen? Two | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
reports came up with two different conclusions. One from the health and | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
safety executive said the site was contamination free but the other | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
from the council said the asbestos proved a potential health risk. The | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
council went ahead with the work. The journey we had was difficult and | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
at times testing. But I am confident we made the right decision. | :18:37. | :18:46. | |
Throughout the last 14 months the parents have made their thoughts | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
clear. Some say the politics around the refurbishment were as trying as | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
the upheaval caused. The work was also delayed after a contract -- a | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
contract died at the site. It has been a difficult 14 months but | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
contract died at the site. It has everybody has worked tirelessly to | :19:08. | :19:08. | |
get us back. everybody has worked tirelessly to | :19:09. | :19:20. | |
school officially reopened, it is welcomed back and onwards | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
school officially reopened, it is upwards for the staff and pupils at | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Cwmcarn High School. Claire's here now with tonight's | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
sport. Good evening. Swansea City are still | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
revelling in their first ever victory at Old Trafford and the | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
accolade of knocking 11 times winners, Manchester United, out of | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
the FA Cup. It was also a winning weekend for Cardiff City's new | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
manager. Ole Gunnar Solshar saw his players come from behind to beat | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
Newcastle. With time almost at, this was the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
moment Wilfred Tony's will make history for the Swans at Old | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Trafford. The Ivory Coast striker heading home to book a place in the | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
fourth round leaving the United manager shaking his head. It had | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
been looking like a replay was on the cards. Wayne Routledge had put | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
the Swans ahead early on only for Manchester United to equalise four | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
minutes later. After all the talk of the diminishing magic of the FA Cup | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
this was a fitting ending. Back home in Swansea today supporters were | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
snapping up coach to get to head back to Trafford this weekend in the | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
league. -- Old Trafford. I think we did get the same result again. | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
Manchester United are going down. Very excited. I hope they can repeat | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
it. There was no real pressure on Cardiff City's new manager but it | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
was a dream start for Lake and assault sky. -- Ole Gunnar | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
Solskjaer. His side came from behind to win at Newcastle. The arrival of | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Craig Noone from the bench inspired the turnaround. Within a minute he | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
had levelled things with a superb strike. Fraizer Campbell was also | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
not to be denied and headed in from a corner ten minutes from time. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Their prize is a trip to Bolton in the fourth round. The new boss is | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
aiming to add to his squad and is hoping to sign two Norwegian | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
midfielders before Saturday 's game against West Ham. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
The board of the Welsh Rugby Union has given unanimous approval to a | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
proposed new agreement setting out how the professional game is run. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
The document will be sent to the four regions this evening. They've | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
already rejected a previous document. It comes after the Welsh | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Rugby Union made a staunch defence of their position in a letter to its | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
member clubs. Our reporter Ashleigh Crowter's been finding out how the | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
grassroots feel about the current dispute. | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
It is a scene that seems 1 million miles from the power politics of the | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
current regional miles from the power politics of the | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
grassroots clubs you find rugby at its purest. Children playing the | :22:09. | :22:09. | |
game just for the fun of it. These its purest. Children playing the | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
clubs are linked to both sides in the current row. 320 of them are | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
members of the WRU but the current row. 320 of them are | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
each allocated to a region. So they are more than just interested | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
observers. They want the top stars playing regional rugby in Wales so | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
their junior players can watch their heroes week in week out. They have | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
got to settle their differences and work together for the success of | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Welsh rugby. On a personal note it would be great to go and see players | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
at the Ospreys and the Blues but they has to be a bit of give and | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
take on both sides. There are a range of views reflected in the 320 | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
clubs, some supportive of the stewardship of Roger Lewis and | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
others who think the regions have a raw deal. But among them all that is | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
one point real consensus, they are concerned about their own futures | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
both in terms of money and also player numbers. It is a problem at | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
all levels. 20 years ago they would have been a big crowd for a clash | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
between Neath and Crosskeys but on Saturday there were only 500 | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
spectators. Some feel the current dispute is an opportunity to put | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
traditional club loyalties back at the centre of the elite game. We | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
have a debate going on between the union and the regions at the elite | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
level and the rest of the game is disconnected from that and is dying. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
There are people watching it, there are people playing the game and | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
fewer people volunteering to run the clubs. The union has to recognise | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
that they are presiding over the death of Welsh rugby. The Welsh | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
Rugby Union insist they are running the game for all the clubs and is | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
one of the reasons why they are not giving more money to the regions. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Tonight the regions are waiting to receive a copy of a new draft legal | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
agreement from the union to consider over the coming days. | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is just over six months away and | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
tomorrow the route of the Queen's Baton Relay will be announced. Wales | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
has a very special association with the relay. It was first introduced | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games that were held in | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
Cardiff. It's a tradition that's been conducted before every British | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Empire and Commonwealth Games ever since. So where in Wales will you be | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
able to see it? You can find out tomorrow night. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Jamie, back to you. Now, back to the weather and as rain | :24:47. | :24:50. | |

risk of coastal flooding. Still seven warnings in place. This is the | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
flood line number if you needed. -- need it. Tonight it will remain | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
windy. 60 mile an hour gusts possible across Cardigan Bay. | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
Although the rain and wind should ease through the night the cloud | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
will keep the temperatures at leading to a frost free night. | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
Tomorrow morning further scattered blustery showers and another windy | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
day but less so than today. The showers easing through the | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
afternoon. Samson Lee spells too. Things will then quieten down. -- | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
some sunny spells too. Things will settle down this week. There were | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
showers and turning colder by the end of the week. Clear skies on | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Wednesday and the odd shower in the north and west but largely try. The | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
risk of a frontal wave moving up from the south later on Wednesday | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
bringing some rain. The low pressure which brought the stormy conditions | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
clears northwards midweek. High pressure building from the south so | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
lighter winds and generally drier. It is looking like a fine day on | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Thursday and a more settled end to the week. A bright morning on Friday | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
with maybe a risk of showers but generally looking trier and also | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
colder into next weekend but we will also see the return of those | :27:17. | :27:17. | |
overnight frosts. ?WHITE A reminder of our main news | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
tonight: Hundreds of people have been told to leave their homes along | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
Aberystwyth's seafront, ready for another high tide along Ceredigion's | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
coast. Towns and villages across Wales have been cleaning up and | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
assessing the cost of the damage. And police have widened their search | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
for missing Newport teenager, Nida Ul Naseer. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
I'll have an update for you here at 8:00pm and after the BBC News at | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
