There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, and I'll be | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
back with Good evening. Work has been going on | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
throughout the day to clear a bus - that had been carrying passengers - | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
when it was hit by a massive wave in stormy weather last night. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Pembrokeshire Council says they were in the process of closing the road | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
through Newgale when the bus became marooned. No one was injured. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Caroline Evans reports. This is what the weather did last | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
night in nude Gail. Conditions still treacherous as passengers were | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
rescued by the emergency services. We were down about eight o'clock | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
last night and when we got down here we could see there was something in | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
the water but we were not sure what it was. The police told us they had | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
a major evacuation under way and as the evening went on, I suppose about | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
an hour or so, the ambulances were here, the fire engines, the | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
coastguards, and as they managed to evacuate the people they were taking | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
up the hill in police cars and onto another bus up there and paramedics | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
were up there, and there was an awful lot going on down here but it | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
was very calm and well organised. In that direction is Saint David's and | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
this way is Haverfordwest and it seems the bus was travelling towards | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Haverfordwest when a massive wave to get off the road. Local people say | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
that until the last two weeks they have not seen conditions like this | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
for more than 20 years and it must have been terrifying. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Today the road to the beach was packed with cars as people came to | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
see the damage for themselves. It must've been horrendous for them, I | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
would have thought. We saw the wave coming over last night and it looked | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
frightening from up there! It must've been pretty horrific for the | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
people in the coach. The waves come over many a year but never like | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
this. It must've been quite scary for the people on the bus. This | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
afternoon Pembrokeshire Council confirmed they had been in the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
process of closing the road when the bus went through Newgale. Elsewhere, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
more wind and waves battered the coast. In Porthcawl a seven foot | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
wall was demolished. The RNLI could not launch their boat well the crew | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
cleared debris. -- while the crew. This was Aberystwyth. We are really | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
pleased that the repairs after the last storms have held up. There was | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
minimal damage from last night but we have a bit of shingle lying | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
around. We have reopened this stretch of road Road and we will be | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
reopening the rest of the road from about lunchtime tomorrow. Tonight | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
the council is assessing the cost of damage for the second time this | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
year. Elsewhere, more than 50 mountain | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
rescuers battled atrocious weather conditions to help find a group of | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
students in the Cambrian Mountains. Seven students from Manchester | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Metropolitan University had set out to walk Pumlumon mountain between | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Aberystwyth and Llanidloes when weather conditions deteriorated. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
There's a powerful case for extending the smoking ban to | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
e-cigarettes. That's according to the Health Minister. Mark Drakeford | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
says, while he understands they could help people quit smoking, he | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
is very anxious about e-cigarettes. On Tuesday Assembly Members are to | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
vote on whether to ban their sale to under-18s. | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
The e-cigarette movement is normalising smoking again, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
glamorising smoking again. It contains nicotine, which is highly | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
addictive, and we don't want e-cigarettes to become a gateway to | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
real cigarettes. Rugby, and Wales have no new injury | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
concerns after their win over Italy. Tries from Scott Williams and Alex | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Cuthbert meant Wales started their defence of the Six Nations title | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
with a win. The coaching staff will keep an eye on Luke Charteris, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
though, who was replaced in the second half. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
You can watch plenty of discussion and analysis of their opening game | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
on BBC Two Wales at seven o'clock this evening. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Football - Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his side was | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
lucky in their 2-1 win over Norwich. After falling behind, Craig Bellamy | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
equalised, becoming the first player to score for seven different Premier | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
League clubs. Striker Kenwyne Jones scored the winner on his debut. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Mmeanwhile, Swansea City are just three points above the Bluebirds | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
ahead of the South Wales derby next weekend, after losing 2-0 to West | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Ham. The weather forecast for Wales - | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
here is Sara Thornton. A number of showers across Wales | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
during the day but also some dry weather. Here are those showers, | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
coming again through the night, but the breeze will be picking up and | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
the rain advances from the West through the morning. We have a Met | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Office weather warning for rain heading in tomorrow. That is | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
combined with some very strong winds. The warning in place for | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
temperature, parts of the south coast. We could see up to 30 | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
millimetres in a short period of time. Combined with some very strong | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
winds, we could see gusts along the coast of 50 to 60 mph. We could see | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
some very big waves and maybe some overtopping. Tuesday into Wednesday | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
we have some more heavy rain and some more very strong winds. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Wednesday. Lots of ice bars on the chart. | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
Good evening. Most of us have had a fine Sunday with some sunshine, but | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
there is more wet and windy weather on the way. Focused tomorrow across | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
western areas. In the east, again, generally dry and breezy. The | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
breezes picking up again overnight, the wind is getting lively again | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
around western coasts and with further high tides, the ongoing risk | :06:29. | :06:30. |
