:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story.
:00:07. > :00:10.Cancer patients give a big thumbs up to their care, but we still have a
:00:11. > :00:19.postcode lottery and long waiting lists.
:00:20. > :00:26.When I was told that this was quite probably a secondary form of cancer
:00:27. > :00:29.and they did not know where the primary cancer was, I just about
:00:30. > :00:33.fell through the floor with shock. It was quite indescribable as
:00:34. > :00:34.shocking. Tonight, the Health Minister is here
:00:35. > :00:50.live. Our other headlines.
:00:51. > :00:54.The deputy head teacher of a school is charged with three offences of
:00:55. > :00:59.voyeurism - Gareth Williams has been suspended.
:01:00. > :01:02.Good evening. In tonight's sport. Wales captain Sam Warburton's
:01:03. > :01:06.central contract is hailed as a big boost for the game, but will other
:01:07. > :01:12.players now follow in his footsteps? Is this the striker who could keep
:01:13. > :01:15.Cardiff in the Premier League? And sunken in the sand for centuries
:01:16. > :01:22.- the ghost ships reappearing after the storms.
:01:23. > :01:28.Good evening. More than 7,000 patients were asked to rate the
:01:29. > :01:33.quality of their cancer treatment and the vast majority thought their
:01:34. > :01:36.care was excellent or very good. In Wales, more than 18,000 people are
:01:37. > :01:42.diagnosed with cancer every year with 24 people dying every day. But
:01:43. > :01:47.the study also found there were variations between hospitals and
:01:48. > :01:50.treatment for some types of cancer. Tonight, we'll be in a hospital
:01:51. > :01:53.hearing from clinicians and talking live to the Minister responsible.
:01:54. > :02:04.First, our health correspondent Owain Clarke.
:02:05. > :02:08.We have had your test results back from the lab and I am sorry to tell
:02:09. > :02:12.you it is not good news. It's the news no-one wants to hear.
:02:13. > :02:16.In 2009, Bronwen Davies from Cardiff faced the shock of a cancer
:02:17. > :02:20.diagnosis. She'd noticed a lump on her neck that she assumed was just a
:02:21. > :02:25.swollen gland. But it turned out to be a cancer that had spread. The
:02:26. > :02:29.surgeons did a brilliant job. The first thing I thought when I was
:02:30. > :02:35.told the diagnosis, apart from I am going to die, is I am going to be
:02:36. > :02:38.dreadfully disfigured. I also had very good care from the
:02:39. > :02:41.physiotherapy service after surgery. Following her treatment, Bronwen was
:02:42. > :02:46.asked to rate her experience as part of a Wales-wide survey. Nearly 7,500
:02:47. > :02:51.patients took part. Overall, almost nine out of ten rated their care as
:02:52. > :02:55.either excellent or good. But not every health board or hospital
:02:56. > :02:58.performed as well as each other. Patients were happiest with their
:02:59. > :03:02.care at Velindre - a specialist cancer centre in Cardiff, and also
:03:03. > :03:07.at Llandough Hospital nearby. In North Wales, Ysbyty Gwynedd in
:03:08. > :03:09.Bangor also scored highly. The Royal Glamorgan, Glangwili, Morriston and
:03:10. > :03:14.Singleton hospitals had the least positive scores compared to the
:03:15. > :03:17.average. In fact, inpatients scored Singleton lower than average for
:03:18. > :03:22.almost half the questions in the survey. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg
:03:23. > :03:31.Health Board say there's room for improvement. We do need to make sure
:03:32. > :03:36.that their variance between health boards and hospitals is considered
:03:37. > :03:40.carefully and we need to make sure that those key commitments in Welsh
:03:41. > :03:42.government's delivery plan are implemented. There's also
:03:43. > :03:47.significant differences in how satisfied patients are with care for
:03:48. > :03:53.different types of cancer. Breast cancer patients had by far the most
:03:54. > :03:56.positive experiences. But patients with lung or bladder cancer, along
:03:57. > :04:12.with those suffering from rarer cancers, gave the poorest scores.
:04:13. > :04:18.Lung cancer has a poor outcome and its treatment is seldom curative and
:04:19. > :04:25.often associated with lots of bad side effects and can be quite
:04:26. > :04:34.prolonged. For these reasons, patients's experience of lung cancer
:04:35. > :04:37.is often not as good. While 68% of patients had been given information
:04:38. > :04:40.about the impact the disease would have on work or education, only just
:04:41. > :04:43.over half were given information about how to get financial help or
:04:44. > :04:46.benefits. Although Bronwen was largely happy with the care she
:04:47. > :04:50.received, she too encountered difficulties. During her treatment,
:04:51. > :04:57.her weight plummeted from 12 stone to seven stone. I am absolutely
:04:58. > :05:02.clear that I should have been seen by a dietician and she should also
:05:03. > :05:07.have met my husband. I could have moaned -- done with more support
:05:08. > :05:10.during treatment and after treatment. According to the Welsh
:05:11. > :05:14.Government, this survey proves that the NHS in Wales can, at times,
:05:15. > :05:16.perform well and deliver for patients, even when services across
:05:17. > :05:22.the board are under intense pressure.
:05:23. > :05:32.Our health correspondent Owain Clarke is at Velindre Hospital in
:05:33. > :05:38.Cardiff. I think it is fair to say, one of
:05:39. > :05:41.the foremost cancer centres not only in the UK but in the whole of
:05:42. > :05:48.Europe. If you are wondering what this is, this scanner helps doctors
:05:49. > :05:54.diagnose and assimilate cancer treatment and that alone costs over
:05:55. > :05:59.?1 million. I am joined by Professor Peter Barrett Lee, the medical
:06:00. > :06:03.director of this hospital. If you scratch the surface of this survey,
:06:04. > :06:09.does it suggest white patients seem to be quite happy with the K they
:06:10. > :06:16.get. Can I thank the people of Wales for their response rate? I think it
:06:17. > :06:21.reflects a lot of years of hard work to improve services for cancer
:06:22. > :06:25.patients in Wales. But people do suggest it is because they get more
:06:26. > :06:30.information and someone specific to look after them. It comes through in
:06:31. > :06:39.the report very clearly that having a specific support person is
:06:40. > :06:43.absolutely crucial. But some hospitals are also lagging behind
:06:44. > :06:49.which suggests to me there is a postcode lottery in Wales. We know
:06:50. > :06:56.now, because of this survey, that some areas are not doing so well. So
:06:57. > :07:02.certain hospitals need to improve? They do. People will say it is all
:07:03. > :07:06.well and good getting good care when you get it but people are waiting
:07:07. > :07:13.too long on waiting lists. What is your view? We need to look at the
:07:14. > :07:20.targets but we cannot accept long waiting times. One initiative is to
:07:21. > :07:25.get better at -- Access to GPs to refer patients more quickly.
:07:26. > :07:30.Mark Drakeford is the Health Minister. People are happy when they
:07:31. > :07:42.get treatment, but we know Wales is lagging behind parts of England. We
:07:43. > :07:49.have been missing targets for years as well. Essentially, that is what
:07:50. > :07:54.you have two address, isn't it? I take issue with your basic premise.
:07:55. > :08:01.Waiting times for cancer treatment in Wales is broadly camp arable with
:08:02. > :08:06.everything that goes on in England. We meet our targets regularly and
:08:07. > :08:11.for the last six months, our 62 day target has improved month on month.
:08:12. > :08:19.There is more you can do and if you are suffering from cancer, you
:08:20. > :08:25.should make improvements rather quest -- quickly. What is really
:08:26. > :08:29.crucial is that you get your first appointment within ten days. If you
:08:30. > :08:34.do that, the rest of the pathway was very smoothly and we are doing
:08:35. > :08:41.really well to get to that ten day appointment. You will have been
:08:42. > :08:44.familiar with David Cameron raising Wales's cancer waiting times in
:08:45. > :08:48.Prime Minister's Questions. What do you make of that? This is a
:08:49. > :08:55.political problem in the way that Wales is perceived. The Prime
:08:56. > :09:01.Minister is the new role of the English NHS. Fiddling figures while
:09:02. > :09:07.the NHS burns around him. There is nothing I am going to take from the
:09:08. > :09:14.Prime Minister criticising Wales. So it is all going very well in Wales?
:09:15. > :09:20.Absolutely not. What you hear in the figures today are huge satisfaction
:09:21. > :09:27.rates. When they get treatment, that is the point to make clear. We meet
:09:28. > :09:31.our 31 day target all the time and our 62 day target, we reach it
:09:32. > :09:37.comparatively with what they do in England but we can do better. One of
:09:38. > :09:41.the places where we can do better is the postcode lottery of cancer care.
:09:42. > :09:48.We know that some hospitals are excellent. But we know that other
:09:49. > :09:50.hospitals are not so good. What about the National Health Service
:09:51. > :09:58.and making sure that wherever you live in Wales, you get a uniform
:09:59. > :10:03.service. The worst satisfaction rates are a deeply dissent and the
:10:04. > :10:08.best are 91% so there is a gap between the top and the bottom but
:10:09. > :10:12.83% of patients in the health board which have the lowest figures say
:10:13. > :10:15.their care was excellent or very good. We want to make sure we take
:10:16. > :10:19.the learning from the survey and take what is going on so well in the
:10:20. > :10:23.very best and make sure that even those places which are doing very
:10:24. > :10:37.well now do better for their patients in the future.
:10:38. > :10:40.Routine operations have resumed in North Wales which had been postponed
:10:41. > :10:43.last week. The action affected hospitals across the Betsi Cadwaladr
:10:44. > :10:44.Health Board area. Officials blamed increased pressures on A
:10:45. > :10:47.departments. The deputy head teacher of a Cardiff
:10:48. > :10:50.secondary school has been charged with offences of voyeurism. Gareth
:10:51. > :10:53.Williams, who's 47, has been suspended from Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg
:10:54. > :10:59.Glantaf in Llandaff North. Caroline Evans is in our Cardiff newsroom.
:11:00. > :11:02.Caroline, what more can you tell us? Gareth Williams is the deputy head
:11:03. > :11:08.at one of Cardiff's Welsh-medium high schools. A well established
:11:09. > :11:11.school serving around 1,500 pupils. It's been confirmed to us by police
:11:12. > :11:14.that Mr Williams, who is 47 years old, was arrested last Thursday and
:11:15. > :11:20.appeared before magistrates here in the city on Saturday. We're told he
:11:21. > :11:27.is facing three charges of voyeurism within a house. And at that court
:11:28. > :11:49.hearing on Saturday he was remanded in custody.
:11:50. > :11:52.Two people have been jailed for trafficking women to Cardiff to work
:11:53. > :11:55.as prostitutes. Ladislav Kurina from the Czech Republic and Angelika
:11:56. > :11:59.Bacan from Romania pleaded guilty at Newport Crown Court to arranging for
:12:00. > :12:02.a 25 and 26-year-old to come here to work in the sex trade. The women
:12:03. > :12:03.were later left destitute and desperate.
:12:04. > :12:06.Because of the courage of their women, we have been able to work
:12:07. > :12:10.with them with the authorities and bring the perpetrators of these
:12:11. > :12:15.crimes to justice. Anybody involved in that area of work, you cannot
:12:16. > :12:20.imagine the horrors of that in terms of what it is to you as a person,
:12:21. > :12:24.what it is to you in your ability to feel that you value yourself.
:12:25. > :12:28.These are historic days for Welsh rugby. With news on that, here's
:12:29. > :12:31.Claire. Good evening. Wales will decide
:12:32. > :12:35.tomorrow whether captain Sam Warburton will be fit for the start
:12:36. > :12:40.of the Six Nations against Italy this Saturday as he recovers from a
:12:41. > :12:45.shoulder injury. But while his fitness is still in doubt, his
:12:46. > :12:48.off-field future is clearer. He made history at the weekend after
:12:49. > :12:51.becoming the first player to sign a central contract with the Welsh
:12:52. > :12:54.Rugby Union. And now the spotlight is on other players to see if they
:12:55. > :13:01.follow suit. Our sports news correspondent Gareth Lewis reports.
:13:02. > :13:04.Although Sam Warburton's name might not be on the team sheet his
:13:05. > :13:09.signature is on one crucial document. His contract with the
:13:10. > :13:14.Welsh Rugby Union will keep him in Wales until the Lions tour of 2017
:13:15. > :13:19.and the intention is for him to continue playing for Cardiff Blues
:13:20. > :13:23.when he's not on Wales duty. Cardiff Blues would love to have a contract
:13:24. > :13:29.with him but the phones were not available. It is a difficult time
:13:30. > :13:37.for the regions but he wanted to stay in Wales. He is very happy
:13:38. > :13:42.here. It is fantastic news for him. He was one of the wanted six,
:13:43. > :13:48.offered regional and WRU contract as well as offers from abroad. Leigh
:13:49. > :13:53.Halfpenny is moving to Toulon. Alun Wyn Jones has re-signed with the
:13:54. > :13:58.Ospreys. Scott Williams, Adam Jones and Rhys Priestland are still making
:13:59. > :14:01.up their minds. But Alun Wyn Jones and Sam Warburton staying put is
:14:02. > :14:06.being seen as a huge boost for the national side. It is great to see
:14:07. > :14:11.those guys commit to staying in Wales. The reason being is that they
:14:12. > :14:16.get a bit of time off between test matches which is great for us so
:14:17. > :14:22.they can have a rest in between. That is the biggest advantage
:14:23. > :14:31.really. And the kudos of the game in Wales. But if the WRU and regions
:14:32. > :14:36.cannot resolve their differences in time for next season, there is some
:14:37. > :14:43.uncertainty over with Sam Warburton will play his club rugby. As things
:14:44. > :14:45.stand, the regions will not select centrally contacted players. Seven
:14:46. > :14:52.of the current squad play outside Wales. Mike Phillips celebrated a
:14:53. > :14:57.spectacular try. But they returned to find Welsh rugby exactly where it
:14:58. > :15:00.was in the autumn. United at the thought of an end but it was in the
:15:01. > :15:02.autumn. United at the thought of an end President Assad third Six
:15:03. > :15:04.Nations championship in a row, divided off the field over the
:15:05. > :15:08.future of the game. And Gareth is here. An historic
:15:09. > :15:17.weekend and this a pivotal week for Welsh rugby? The Six Nations starts
:15:18. > :15:21.on Saturday. Friday is deadline day. The regions have given the WRU a
:15:22. > :15:26.deadline to sort out club rugby or they will pursue other options like
:15:27. > :15:30.joining the English Premiership. They would like a new European
:15:31. > :15:33.tournament in which they control the TV rights and commercial
:15:34. > :15:38.negotiations. The WRU is against this. The unions have been meeting
:15:39. > :15:49.again in London today with David Pickering represented the Welsh
:15:50. > :15:52.Rugby Union. European and English representatives have also been
:15:53. > :15:57.meeting again today. There is enough on the table to talk about and
:15:58. > :16:01.positive noises coming from Saracens in England that some sort of
:16:02. > :16:05.conclusion is near. Whether that is before the Six Nations remains to be
:16:06. > :16:10.seen but there has not been much optimism in all of this. From
:16:11. > :16:11.England, some optimism that we are getting close to some kind of
:16:12. > :16:15.agreement. Much more to come before seven
:16:16. > :16:19.o'clock. The shipwrecks long lost in the sand
:16:20. > :16:27.now revealed by the storms stripping back our shores.
:16:28. > :16:34.Now, what's in a name? Well, quite a lot for many of us it seems. So much
:16:35. > :16:38.so that it's been suggested people who want to change historic house or
:16:39. > :16:42.farm names should have to apply for planning permission before they do
:16:43. > :16:49.it. There's concern that some important links with our past may be
:16:50. > :16:54.lost. Roger Pinney reports. When the boys from Essex came to
:16:55. > :16:58.Wales, Gavin and Stacey poked fun at our bilingual road signs but there
:16:59. > :17:01.is more to it than that. The names of towns and villages, farms and
:17:02. > :17:07.homes have come down through history. Something important is lost
:17:08. > :17:17.if they are changed, it is claimed. None of them speak Welsh. What about
:17:18. > :17:24.the signs? In Ceredigion, this man decided to call his complex of
:17:25. > :17:30.holiday cottages Stallion Valley, a translation of the old Welsh name.
:17:31. > :17:36.Not so much a change, he says, but a marketing tool. An easy name for his
:17:37. > :17:42.English-speaking customers to use. It is not used in the local
:17:43. > :17:47.circumstance. We tell our visitors that if they are asking for
:17:48. > :17:50.directions, ask for the Welsh name. It is only a presence on the
:17:51. > :17:57.Internet for the marketing of our cottages.
:17:58. > :18:07.This man has made a steady of Welsh places and written a dictionary of
:18:08. > :18:14.them. The names can be a signpost of our past. They evolve but sudden
:18:15. > :18:19.changes should be avoided. Most place names retain the names they
:18:20. > :18:25.have had 150 years ago, 200 years ago, 1500 years ago. We have got to
:18:26. > :18:32.be very careful about changing names deliberately. New coinages lead to
:18:33. > :18:38.be regarded with a certain amount of suspicion. And then there is how a
:18:39. > :18:44.place name is spelt. At this village, some locals did not think
:18:45. > :18:49.much of changing the letters. And what about here on Anglesey. This
:18:50. > :19:03.place was named by the Anglo Normans who built the castle. Town and
:19:04. > :19:07.village names are a matter of public policy but house names are up to the
:19:08. > :19:09.owner. Those who want to protect them say it is about looking after
:19:10. > :19:13.our heritage. The boss of the airline CityJet has
:19:14. > :19:17.said she is open to expanding services at Cardiff Airport in
:19:18. > :19:20.future. The airline, which is part of the Air France group, has begun
:19:21. > :19:24.flights to destinations such as Glasgow and Paris following the
:19:25. > :19:26.withdrawal of Flybe from Cardiff. Charging for plastic carrier bags,
:19:27. > :19:29.free prescriptions and the foundation phase in primary schools
:19:30. > :19:33.are all examples of policies made in Wales. Now, finding out whether
:19:34. > :19:37.policies like these actually work will be the task of a new think tank
:19:38. > :19:40.called the Public Policy Institute for Wales. The group will report
:19:41. > :19:47.directly to the Welsh Government. The First Minister explained what
:19:48. > :19:50.it'll do. The civil service, it is true,
:19:51. > :19:54.provides advice on policy but we need people to do the research, to
:19:55. > :19:58.look at whether something will work, to look at what does work and look
:19:59. > :20:03.at what does not work either. Traditionally in Wales, we have not
:20:04. > :20:07.had that. It has existed in the parts of the UK and it is right to
:20:08. > :20:10.ensure we have the right evidence base when we make decisions.
:20:11. > :20:13.We've heard about the world of Welsh rugby already. Time for the rest of
:20:14. > :20:17.the sport. Back to Claire. It's been a busy day in the transfer
:20:18. > :20:20.market for our two Premier League clubs. Swansea City have captured
:20:21. > :20:23.French striker David Ngog from Bolton for an undisclosed fee. And
:20:24. > :20:27.Cardiff are hoping they've found a striker to keep them in the Premier
:20:28. > :20:32.League in the shape of Trinidad and Tobago international Kenwyne Jones.
:20:33. > :20:38.Here's Ashleigh Crowter. Goals or rather the lack of them has
:20:39. > :20:43.been Cardiff City's biggest problem. They are hoping Kenwyne Jones can
:20:44. > :20:48.help to sort it out. The former Sunderland striker is about to join
:20:49. > :20:54.from Stoke city with Peter Odemwingie going the other way in a
:20:55. > :20:58.swap deal. Jones joined up with Cardiff today, as did Manchester
:20:59. > :21:01.United defender Fabio. But the paperwork was not signed off by
:21:02. > :21:06.midday so neither will be available for tomorrow night's Premier League
:21:07. > :21:10.match at Old Trafford. England international Wilfried Zaha should
:21:11. > :21:16.move to Cardiff on loan for the rest of the season. He is going to get a
:21:17. > :21:21.chance when he comes to us to show his talent, to develop a game, get
:21:22. > :21:24.much time and he will have a fantastic crowd behind him because
:21:25. > :21:30.there is no better place for a young kid like that, coming in and showing
:21:31. > :21:36.his skills, with a passionate crowd of supporters. Cardiff are hoping to
:21:37. > :21:41.take their FA Cup form into the league. Fraizer Campbell secured a
:21:42. > :21:45.place in the fifth round against Wigan. Swansea will travel to
:21:46. > :21:53.Everton in the last 16 after beating Birmingham 2-1. They will now be
:21:54. > :21:57.more competition for places at front after Swansea signed Frenchman David
:21:58. > :22:01.Ngog from Bolton on a six-month contract. The former Liverpool
:22:02. > :22:11.striker could make his debut against Fulham tomorrow. A good club in the
:22:12. > :22:17.Premier League have interest so I am really pleased for that and now I
:22:18. > :22:22.took my time to think about it and I decided to sign here. Swansea are
:22:23. > :22:25.also hoping to bring in comments on loan.
:22:26. > :22:29.And just a reminder that tomorrow Warren Gatland names his side to
:22:30. > :22:32.face Italy this weekend in the opening round of the Six Nations. As
:22:33. > :22:36.I mentioned earlier, a decision will be made on captain Sam Warburton's
:22:37. > :22:39.fitness in the morning. But prop Gethin Jenkins is out of Saturday's
:22:40. > :22:43.match with a knee injury. We'll have all the details on who'll start for
:22:44. > :22:45.Wales tomorrow night. That's it from me, Jamie. Back to
:22:46. > :22:48.you. This month's storms have stripped
:22:49. > :22:51.millions of tonnes of sand from Cefn Sidan beach in Carmarthenshire,
:22:52. > :22:54.exposing three old shipwrecks. It's thought they date from the 19th or
:22:55. > :22:57.18th century, when it was a popular but treacherous shipping route.
:22:58. > :23:01.Abigail Neal reports. A park ranger takes us out along the
:23:02. > :23:08.eight-mile stretch of beach at Cefn Sidan. Before long, the tell-tale
:23:09. > :23:13.signs of history begin to emerge. Three new sets of bony ribs lay
:23:14. > :23:21.exposed. It's thought they could be trading vessels dating from the 18th
:23:22. > :23:26.or 19th century. The one nearest that is at least 120 foot, the
:23:27. > :23:33.furthest one could be 100 foot. We do have some metal hold ships are
:23:34. > :23:37.mainly wooden hulls. You can just make out the top of the ship that
:23:38. > :23:42.has recently been exposed but we are told in total there are 182
:23:43. > :23:46.shipwrecks along this stretch of beach. In this case, it was not
:23:47. > :23:54.steep cliffs or hidden rocks that did for the sailors along this
:23:55. > :23:56.coast, Emyr Richards says without local knowledge, trading vessels
:23:57. > :24:02.could easily become stranded and flounder on this beach. It is mainly
:24:03. > :24:07.because of the shallow sands or the shifting sands. They are shifting so
:24:08. > :24:18.you can imagination trying to navigate its way up the estuary to
:24:19. > :24:21.take coal or tin. It is going to be difficult, especially without the
:24:22. > :24:24.correct charts or the radar available these days. The new
:24:25. > :24:27.additions will join two other wrecks which are well-known landmarks on
:24:28. > :24:31.the beach at low tide. Scientists will now try and date the latest
:24:32. > :24:35.discoveries from their timber before the shifting sea and sand come to
:24:36. > :24:36.claim them once again. Let's get the weather forecast now
:24:37. > :24:45.with Derek. You may remember that this time last
:24:46. > :24:50.year we'd had some heavy snow by now. But there is no sign of a
:24:51. > :24:58.repeat performance this winter, which is turning out very wet. There
:24:59. > :25:02.are four flood alerts in force. And there's more rain and heavy showers
:25:03. > :25:04.to come in the next 24 hours. The reason for the unsettled weather is
:25:05. > :25:07.low pressure close to Northern Ireland. Some strong and blustery
:25:08. > :25:11.winds. Snow in northeast Scotland. So, tonight, some dry spells but
:25:12. > :25:14.also further heavy showers or longer spells of rain. Windy on the south
:25:15. > :25:17.and west coast and feeling cold. Lowest temperatures around three to
:25:18. > :25:21.six Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure over the UK centred
:25:22. > :25:27.over the Irish Sea. Here's the picture for eight in the morning. A
:25:28. > :25:33.few places dry but there will be a lot of showers around. The shower
:25:34. > :25:36.merging into longer spells of rain. Snow on the mountains. Breezy,
:25:37. > :25:39.especially on the coast. Lighter winds in the north and feeling
:25:40. > :25:48.chilly. During the day, not much change. More rain and heavy showers.
:25:49. > :25:51.A few drier, brighter intervals as well but more cloud than sun.
:25:52. > :25:54.Temperatures around average, six to eight Celsius. The wind falling
:25:55. > :26:00.lighter everywhere during the afternoon. In Flintshire, showers
:26:01. > :26:04.and rain at times. Heavy in places. Six Celsius in Mold with a light
:26:05. > :26:09.breeze. In Bridgend, a mixture of sunny intervals and showers. The
:26:10. > :26:19.wind easing with a high of seven in Maesteg. Tomorrow night, yet more
:26:20. > :26:22.showers. Temperatures above freezing with lighter winds. On Wednesday,
:26:23. > :26:26.some dry weather but also some more rain and showers. A little snow
:26:27. > :26:29.likely on higher ground, some hills and mountains later in the day.
:26:30. > :26:34.Thursday will be colder with an easterly breeze. One or two snow
:26:35. > :26:37.flurries here and there but on the whole drier and brighter with a
:26:38. > :26:41.little sunshine. Thursday will be the coldest day of the winter so far
:26:42. > :26:48.with some frost and ice, but it's all change again on Friday with more
:26:49. > :26:52.wind and rain on the way. Our picture tonight is from Iori
:26:53. > :27:02.Roberts. The swollen River Elwy in St Asaph. Thanks, Iori. More rain
:27:03. > :27:07.and heavy showers tomorrow. Thursday will be drier and colder.
:27:08. > :27:16.Tonight's headlines. Wales's first patient experience survey has
:27:17. > :27:21.praised the care received by cancer patients in Wales. It also showed
:27:22. > :27:25.the difference between hospitals and treatments for different kinds of
:27:26. > :27:27.cancer. The deputy headteacher of a school
:27:28. > :27:32.in Cardiff has been charged with what arisen within a house. Gareth
:27:33. > :27:36.Williams has been suspended and remanded in custody.
:27:37. > :27:41.I'll have an update for you here at 8.00pm and I'll be back after the
:27:42. > :27:47.BBC news at 10.00pm. That's Wales Today. Thank you for watching. From
