:00:07. > :00:11.Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories... Waiting times for scans
:00:12. > :00:15.and ultrasounds treble - patients here wait significantly longer than
:00:16. > :00:19.those in England. Forced-out as leader of Powys Council in a bitter
:00:20. > :00:28.political battle - now a new man takes charge. Also tonight... Is
:00:29. > :00:36.this the future of television here? Local TV entirely about where you
:00:37. > :00:39.live moves a step closer. In tonight's sport - Cardiff and
:00:40. > :00:43.Swansea in the hunt for points - it's Solksjaer's first Premer League
:00:44. > :00:46.match, while the Swans aim for same again at Old Trafford. And they were
:00:47. > :00:48.honoured for one of Wales' most dramatic sea rescues - their story
:00:49. > :01:08.re-told today. The number of patients waiting
:01:09. > :01:10.longer than they should for diagnostic services like MRI scans
:01:11. > :01:15.and ultrasounds has more than trebled in the last two years. The
:01:16. > :01:23.latest figures show 23,000 patients were waiting longer than eight
:01:24. > :01:26.weeks. The wait is also significantly longer than in England
:01:27. > :01:34.for similar tests. Steffan Messenger reports. When a doctor wants to find
:01:35. > :01:39.out more about a patient's illness or condition, they refer them for
:01:40. > :01:44.diagnostic tests like x-ray or ultrasound. Under a Welsh NHS
:01:45. > :01:48.standards, the maximum amount of time a patient should have to wait
:01:49. > :01:52.to get access to a diagnostic service is eight weeks. Over the
:01:53. > :01:56.last two years, the number of patience who have had to wait longer
:01:57. > :02:02.than that has gone up and up. In 2011, the figure stood at
:02:03. > :02:05.than that has gone up and up. In 7500. One year later, it had climbed
:02:06. > :02:05.to over 15,000. The latest figure, for November last year, stands at
:02:06. > :02:10.well over 23,000. Over for November last year, stands at
:02:11. > :02:12.years, the number for November last year, stands at
:02:13. > :02:17.waiting over the maximum time as for November last year, stands at
:02:18. > :02:20.more than trebled. If you are waiting for a diagnosis, and some of
:02:21. > :02:25.this diagnostic equipment helps to tell clinicians whether there is a
:02:26. > :02:29.problem or not, it can be a very unnerving time for patients, many of
:02:30. > :02:32.whom will be vulnerable and elderly, on these waiting lists, which is why
:02:33. > :02:37.we need urgent action from the Welsh government. Our analysis daily shows
:02:38. > :02:41.the percentage of patience waiting longer than they should have two for
:02:42. > :02:46.a range of services is far higher here than across the border. 32% of
:02:47. > :02:49.patients in Wales waited longer than eight weeks for an ultrasound last
:02:50. > :03:00.November, compared with 0.1% in England. For CT scans, the figures
:03:01. > :03:04.were again markedly different. The time from when the clock starts
:03:05. > :03:09.ticking is offering different in England than it is in Wales, so we
:03:10. > :03:15.need caution. However, what is key for NHS Wales and for ministers is
:03:16. > :03:27.to make sure that we do hit the targets. It is an issue which is a
:03:28. > :03:35.Gemma got in touch. She says... And Gareth says...
:03:36. > :03:44.And Colin described his daughter's six-month wait for an MRI scan as
:03:45. > :03:49.frustrating. Let's make it very clear, there is some excellent
:03:50. > :03:54.treatment and some very excellent, Speedy treatment across Wales. But
:03:55. > :03:59.they are almost cancelled out by the negative experiences, which get the
:04:00. > :04:10.bigger headlines. It is the inequity of treatment which any system must
:04:11. > :04:13.strive to stamp out. The Welsh government says health boards are
:04:14. > :04:18.putting in place a number of measures, such as the use of mobile
:04:19. > :04:22.MRI scanners. It says there has been a rising demand for services like
:04:23. > :04:26.this and expects things to improve by the summer. The Health Minister
:04:27. > :04:29.has suggested any targets in Wales do not always suggest what is best
:04:30. > :04:32.for patients, and he is in the process of reviewing them.
:04:33. > :04:37.This week we've been reporting on the difficult decisions facing our
:04:38. > :04:41.councils. In Powys, they need to save ?40 million over the next three
:04:42. > :04:44.years, but they will have to begin that task amidst a political power
:04:45. > :04:47.struggle. Live to our reporter Charlotte Dubenskij, who is in
:04:48. > :04:55.Llandrindod Wells. Good evening. Change is in the air
:04:56. > :04:58.here in Powys. This morning, David Jones, the leader of the local
:04:59. > :05:03.confidence, which was passed by confidence, which was passed by
:05:04. > :05:04.42-30. The authority now has a new leader,
:05:05. > :05:09.42-30. The authority now has a new Berri Thomas. A town founded on the
:05:10. > :05:15.healing properties of its spa. Today, it was the wounds of Powys
:05:16. > :05:21.Council Today, it was the wounds of Powys
:05:22. > :05:25.after sacking three members of his own Cabinet. We had ended up in a
:05:26. > :05:28.position where there was the leader of a council who had three times
:05:29. > :05:34.ignored the wishes of his group not to go into coalition with the other
:05:35. > :05:39.group, and he was left on his own, and had to join the other group. So,
:05:40. > :05:45.the council ended up with a leader from a group different to that in
:05:46. > :05:50.which he was when he was elected. Powys Council is made up of 73
:05:51. > :05:55.councillors. Of those, 48 are independent. They formed two main
:05:56. > :06:03.groups -- formed two main groups, after the local elections of 2012.
:06:04. > :06:08.David Jones was leader of one of the groups, but after the reshuffle,
:06:09. > :06:11.they disbanded, and he jumped ship to the other group. He has now been
:06:12. > :06:19.replaced by independent councillor Parry Thomas. I think it is very
:06:20. > :06:22.important for me to show leadership and take the county council
:06:23. > :06:30.forward, so that we can provide very good services, for value for money,
:06:31. > :06:35.within Powys. The council must find savings of ?40 million over the ?20
:06:36. > :06:40.million worth of that must be found in the next financial year alone.
:06:41. > :06:45.The council is looking at cuts to services like Meals on Wheels,
:06:46. > :06:48.scrapping free transport for post-16 education and closing a number of
:06:49. > :06:54.adult daycare centres and public toilets. The new leader hopes
:06:55. > :07:00.members can now flush away their disagreements and face those hard
:07:01. > :07:04.decisions together. That budget goes out for consultation next week, and
:07:05. > :07:08.there some incredibly difficult decisions ahead of the council. The
:07:09. > :07:11.newly dead, Mr Thomas, says the political infighting must now stop.
:07:12. > :07:21.-- the new leader. Plans to run power lines through a
:07:22. > :07:24.forest as part of a controversial wind farm project in Carmarthenshire
:07:25. > :07:27.have been unveiled. Western Power Distribution wants to connect some

:08:24. > :08:28.activity among operating theatre staff, is a surprise to him and his
:08:29. > :08:31.family. When he went in for his operation, they let us go in with
:08:32. > :08:35.him up to the point where they put him to sleep, and we were there when
:08:36. > :08:42.he came back, and everything was brilliant. They made an impossible
:08:43. > :08:46.situation and durable for me. For me, that was a massive deal. They
:08:47. > :08:49.made it as comfortable as possible and they were as friendly to me as
:08:50. > :08:56.they could have been. I cannot say enough about them. The latest
:08:57. > :09:00.critical report into the running of the hospital says near misses are
:09:01. > :09:03.under reported. The working environment is hostile, according to
:09:04. > :09:08.some, and there are examples of staff feeling pressurised into
:09:09. > :09:12.undertaking activities which they do not feel are safe. Over several
:09:13. > :09:15.months, we have seen the consequences of a restructure which
:09:16. > :09:22.has steam staff pay getting affected and start getting downgraded. The
:09:23. > :09:27.review says there is no evidence that patients have been harmed, but
:09:28. > :09:31.changes are urgently needed. The results of an external inspection
:09:32. > :09:35.are also due shortly. In England, they have the quality commission,
:09:36. > :09:40.which I think the people in Wales have said is more of a remit than
:09:41. > :09:46.they have currently got. -- the care quality on. If the Care Quality
:09:47. > :09:49.Commission firms that there are issues which need to be addressed,
:09:50. > :09:59.then that should be done as a matter of urgency. The simple truth is that
:10:00. > :10:04.Alder Hey is safe. Safety is paramount. This report is not a
:10:05. > :10:10.hidden report, it is an open report, the latest state of play on
:10:11. > :10:15.a big journey we are going through with theatre staff. With the
:10:16. > :10:19.reputation of Alder Hey under scrutiny, patients and parents are
:10:20. > :10:35.hoping high standards will continue to be met. Bangor, Mold and swansea

:11:48. > :11:50.parts of Wales, but like this station, they all broadcast on the

:11:54. > :11:56.entertainment specific to their town on their television just like any
:11:57. > :12:06.other TV channel. So does that appeal to people in Mold? You do get
:12:07. > :12:09.coverage on the Welsh TV, but not specifically to this area, so, yes,
:12:10. > :12:16.I think a lot of people would watch it. There is not enough news it is a
:12:17. > :12:23.very good idea, yes, because everything goes on Facebook. The BBC

:15:51. > :15:54.midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem could make his debut against West Ham,

:16:02. > :16:04.City travel to Old Trafford for the second time in six days, hoping for
:16:05. > :16:10.another win against Manchester United. Here's Ashleigh Crowter. The
:16:11. > :16:15.new Bluebirds boss made a dream start, winning his first match in
:16:16. > :16:17.the FA Cup. Tomorrow, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer steps back into the
:16:18. > :16:26.Premier League. He wasted little time in bringing in fellow Norwegian
:16:27. > :16:29.Magnus Wolff?Eikrem, who could make his debut tomorrow in a significant
:16:30. > :16:35.match at the bottom of the table. West Ham are one of only three clubs
:16:36. > :16:40.below Cardiff. Three points would make a real difference to either
:16:41. > :16:43.side. The Bluebirds will be boosted by the return of Craig Bellamy after
:16:44. > :16:48.two months injured. Solskjaer says he is looking sharp in training and
:16:49. > :16:52.he is trying to persuade Bellamy not to retire at the end of the season.
:16:53. > :16:58.I just gave him my thoughts, play as long as you can. If you can play
:16:59. > :17:06.football, and you feel that you can justify your performances, of
:17:07. > :17:13.course, we want to get great performing. Swansea made history in
:17:14. > :17:14.the cup last weekend, beating Manchester United at Old Trafford
:17:15. > :17:20.for the first time in their history. Tomorrow, in the league, they will
:17:21. > :17:24.try to do it again. You can say, from our point of view, it is
:17:25. > :17:29.possible. We know it is possible, because they lost
:17:30. > :17:34.day. After that, they lost again, the first
:17:35. > :17:41.semifinal. I will expect a Man United team to come out and just be
:17:42. > :17:45.they will go at us. In tomorrow's other matches, Newport County are
:17:46. > :17:52.Wrexham host Halifax. Rugby - and the Scarlets are in
:17:53. > :17:56.Paris tonight to take on Racing Metro in the Heineken Cup. They kick

:18:04. > :18:09.Ospreys, bottom of their group, face George North and his Northampton
:18:10. > :18:12.team-mates. In the Amlin, the Dragons welcome Gavin Henson and

:18:16. > :18:18.chance of progressing to the knockout stages - a win tomorrow
:18:19. > :18:27.will move them above the reigning champions to the top of Pool two,
:18:28. > :18:30.with just one game remaining. We have won two games, and we have got
:18:31. > :18:35.the last two games with everything to play for. It is fantastic for us.
:18:36. > :18:39.Hopefully the people of Wales and the people of this region are proud
:18:40. > :18:42.of us. We have got an opportunity to progress further, but it is a tough

:18:51. > :18:57.- that's it from me. The story of one of Wales' most
:18:58. > :19:00.dramatic sea rescues will soon be on public display in Fishguard. A group
:19:01. > :19:03.working to restore the 100-year-old Charterhouse Boat were given lottery
:19:04. > :19:05.money today to help promote their cause. Abigail Neal went to meet
:19:06. > :19:12.them. At more than one 100 years old, it's
:19:13. > :19:16.incredible this boat is still in one piece. But she is a survivor. Her
:19:17. > :19:20.history is so remarkable, it's not surprising that Fishgaurd wanted to
:19:21. > :19:27.bring her home and tell her story. The Charterhouse was the town's
:19:28. > :19:36.lifeboat from 1909 to 1931. At the time, she was state-of-the-art - the
:19:37. > :19:40.first to be fitted with an engine. Technologically, she was one of the
:19:41. > :19:46.earliest styles of boat, which was self-righting and motorised, with
:19:47. > :19:50.sales, and 12 people rolling. Between one thing or the other, they
:19:51. > :19:54.should get some propulsion. That it is a huge task, for a boat of this
:19:55. > :19:58.size, for 12 people. During her service there was one rescue which
:19:59. > :20:01.was to secure the Charterhouse and her men a place in history. Richard
:20:02. > :20:05.Davies shows me the spot where a Dutch schooner dragged her anchor
:20:06. > :20:08.and headed for Needle Rocks in 1920. The Charterhouse went to the rescue,
:20:09. > :20:19.but her engine failed, and the mission turned dire. They were out
:20:20. > :20:23.for seven hours. And that was in a howling
:20:24. > :20:24.for seven hours. And that was in a down with ranger it was a horrendous
:20:25. > :20:35.night. The conditions were down with ranger it was a horrendous
:20:36. > :20:40.-- pouring down with rain. All but one of the Dutch crew were saved
:20:41. > :20:43.that night. The Charterhouse men became heroes and travelled to
:20:44. > :20:47.London with their lifeboat to be awarded bravery medals by the Prince
:20:48. > :20:50.of Wales. Though the story of the brave men never faded, the
:20:51. > :20:54.Charterhouse was eventually sold off to a family in north Wales, where it
:20:55. > :20:57.stayed for 60 years. In 2009, a group of volunteers brought her home
:20:58. > :21:00.and stripped her back. The plan is to restore her and put the
:21:01. > :21:03.Charterhouse and her incredible story on public display at the new
:21:04. > :21:06.visitors' centre planned for the Fishguard Marina development. Today,
:21:07. > :21:10.the group were awarded nearly ?8,000 to promote their project - the hope
:21:11. > :21:11.is they can now raise the one ?100,000 needed to complete the
:21:12. > :21:23.Chaterhouse transformation. The storms that have battered
:21:24. > :21:28.Aberystwyth over the past week have revealed the remains of the town's
:21:29. > :21:36.earliest custom-built bathhouse, dating from the 19th-century. And
:21:37. > :21:50.work will begin tomorrow on restoring a badly damaged seafront
:21:51. > :21:53.shelter in Aberystwyth. The weather forecast has been vital for many of
:21:54. > :21:56.you over the past week. It's 60 years since the first ever
:21:57. > :22:04.television weatherman appeared on a British screen. Derek has been
:22:05. > :22:08.trawling through the archives. Yes, 60 years since the first weatherman
:22:09. > :22:11.appeared on a British screen. And a lot has changed in that time, from
:22:12. > :22:14.drawings on charts to this, the latest 3D graphics. So I've been
:22:15. > :22:18.trawling through the archives to see how we've reported the weather over
:22:19. > :22:21.the years. This was the first ever weatherman on television. Before
:22:22. > :22:25.this it was just an anonymous hand drawing isobars onto a map while a
:22:26. > :22:30.voice read the forecast. But in Wales, the weather forecaster didn't
:22:31. > :22:34.appear for many years. So in the extremes of the heatwave of 1976,
:22:35. > :22:38.when there was a drought, to the snow storms of February 1978, it was
:22:39. > :22:45.down to the reporters to keep an eye on the weather. Peter Walker was
:22:46. > :22:54.working when the blizzard of '78 hit. I was called in to come and be
:22:55. > :22:59.the only reporter available, and I was given this jacket to go out and
:23:00. > :23:02.fight the elements, as it were. It was Pat and myself. We were the only
:23:03. > :23:06.two men who could actually broadcast, in a sense, and so there
:23:07. > :23:10.we were, out in the snow, most to our knees. In 1975, the BBC
:23:11. > :23:13.introduced magnetic weather symbols - luckily before my time, as they
:23:14. > :23:14.were a little tricky. Satellite pictures were introduced in 1979,
:23:15. > :23:20.and 1985 saw pictures were introduced in 1979,
:23:21. > :23:20.rubber weather forecast. So, by the time I
:23:21. > :23:33.rubber weather forecast. So, by the even if I was more low-key. Rather
:23:34. > :23:39.cloudy at the moment... So from drawing charts on a map to
:23:40. > :23:41.cloudy at the moment... So from lot over the years, to what we have
:23:42. > :23:44.now - state-of- the-art 3D graphics, which are a lot more accurate at
:23:45. > :24:05.predicting our sometimes wild weather. A bit like my outifts.
:24:06. > :24:15.And even the First Minister has tried his hand at it. Top
:24:16. > :24:19.temperatures, 30 degrees. So in 60 years, rain or shine, it seems the
:24:20. > :24:23.weather has gone on to become a national obsession.
:24:24. > :24:29.The weather has been a big talking point recently, but good news - we
:24:30. > :24:37.are for some nice weather this weekend. Saturday the best day. Dry
:24:38. > :24:41.with plenty of sunshine. But watch out for ice if you're travelling.
:24:42. > :24:45.And it's not going to stay dry all weekend! This evening, cloudy with
:24:46. > :24:51.rain. This will gradually clear with a dry end to the night. Temperatures
:24:52. > :24:56.inland falling close to freezing with a touch of frost. And the Met
:24:57. > :24:59.Office has issued a warning of ice. With a lot of standing water from
:25:00. > :25:01.the recent wet weather and flooding, icy stretches are expected,
:25:02. > :25:07.especially on untreated roads. Tomorrow's chart shows a ridge of
:25:08. > :25:11.high pressure over southern Britain. This low pressure over the Atlantic
:25:12. > :25:15.will bring us some wind and rain on Sunday. Here's the picture for eight
:25:16. > :25:19.in the morning. Cold, with a touch of frost inland and a risk of icy
:25:20. > :25:23.patches. One or two mist and fog patches as well, otherwise dry and
:25:24. > :25:29.fairly clear. Temperatures a little higher on the coast with a breeze
:25:30. > :25:36.off the sea. So some decent weather tomorrow. A few clouds, but dry and
:25:37. > :25:42.bright with plenty of sunshine. Good visibility, too. Top temperatures
:25:43. > :25:50.around six or seven Celsius. The wind, falling. In Ceredigion, dry
:25:51. > :25:54.tomorrow with sunny spells. The temperature in Lampeter rising to
:25:55. > :26:00.six Celsius. And a nice day in Flintshire tomorrow - dry with
:26:01. > :26:04.sunshine. A high of six in Connah's Quay. Tomorrow night, dry and cold
:26:05. > :26:08.with some frost and ice. Mist and fog patches as well. However, the
:26:09. > :26:12.wind will start to pick up later in the night, especially in the west.
:26:13. > :26:17.Sunday will start dry but it won't last. Rain will spread from the west
:26:18. > :26:22.during the afternoon. A spell of heavy rain, but it should clear by
:26:23. > :26:24.during the afternoon. A spell of midnight. Temperatures
:26:25. > :26:26.during the afternoon. A spell of Celsius, but windy with a
:26:27. > :26:28.during the afternoon. A spell of gusty south-east wind. Next week,
:26:29. > :26:30.mixed. Some dry weather and sunshine on Monday and Tuesday. A few showers
:26:31. > :26:34.as well. Rain Tuesday night. More on Monday and Tuesday. A few showers
:26:35. > :26:36.rain or heavy showers on Wednesday. on Monday and Tuesday. A few showers
:26:37. > :26:38.This time 32 years ago, most of Wales was recovering from a blizzard
:26:39. > :26:40.back in January Wales was recovering from a blizzard
:26:41. > :26:43.there's no sign of Wales was recovering from a blizzard
:26:44. > :26:52.weather or heavy snow heading our way. And that goes for the rest of
:26:53. > :26:55.January. Finally, our picture tonight is from Arfon Parry. Sunrise
:26:56. > :27:02.in Ruthin. Thanks, Arfon. Enjoy the dry weather and sunshine tomorrow if
:27:03. > :27:10.you can. There is more rain on the way on Sunday afternoon. Tonight's
:27:11. > :27:13.headlines, a police officer who claimed to have witnessed the
:27:14. > :27:16.so-called Plebgate row in Downing Street has admitted lying. The
:27:17. > :27:20.incident led to Andrew Mitchell resigning from his job as Chief
:27:21. > :27:22.Whip. In Wales, the number of patients waiting longer than they
:27:23. > :27:30.should have for diagnostic services has more than trebled in the last
:27:31. > :27:33.two years. Figures show 23,000 patience were waiting longer than
:27:34. > :27:37.eight weeks. There is more on our website... I'll be back at eight,
:27:38. > :27:40.and again after the BBC News at Ten. That's Wales Today. From all of us
:27:41. > :27:44.here, have a great weekend.
