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

lying communities in future? could anything really save our low

:00:59.:01:04.

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

reports. It has been another day of taking

morning hundreds were asked to leave their homes and head for rest

again. This Victorian shelter has buckled under the strain put on it

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

into the garden but we've never had anything to this extent and the

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.

They are here to protect us from the sea and these defences along the

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

:06:50.: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.

: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

: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.

:13:39.:13:41.

fingers. The man's hand was trapped and crushed in a pair of steel pinch

: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

costs. The standards that local councils

:14:00.:14:02.

and national parks will be expected to meet when providing services in

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

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

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

members of the WRU but the current row. 320 of them are

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

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

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

agreement from the union to consider over the coming days.

The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is just over six months away and
