:00:14. > :00:14.Good evening. Rescue teams have both of us for
:00:15. > :00:18.Good evening. Rescue teams have spent the day searching for a
:00:19. > :00:21.kayaker missing in a river in Powys. The man was part of a group of eight
:00:22. > :00:25.experienced kayakers on the River Usk at Llangynidr, near Crickhowell.
:00:26. > :00:31.Tonight, the search was scaled down, but a small team of specialists main
:00:32. > :00:34.in the area. Nick Palit reports. Since lunchtime they've searched a
:00:35. > :00:36.seven-mile stretch of the fast flowing River Usk. The police
:00:37. > :00:40.helicopter aided those on the ground, backed up by an RAF Search
:00:41. > :00:44.and Rescue chopper from RAF Chivenor in Devon. The alarm was raised by a
:00:45. > :00:46.group of kayakers who'd lost one of their party while negotiating these
:00:47. > :00:57.swollen, raging torrents near Llangyndr. We were called at one
:00:58. > :01:03.o'clock to say the crews had fallen into the river and since then we
:01:04. > :01:08.have had an ongoing search with mountain rescue and the Fire
:01:09. > :01:13.Service. We are searching down the river down quite some way. At
:01:14. > :01:16.Llangyndr village hall, Incident Command - where specialists from
:01:17. > :01:19.Brecon Mountain Rescue helped the police and the Fire Service
:01:20. > :01:22.co-ordinate the search. The missing man, who's in his 30s, had been with
:01:23. > :01:31.seven others, all experienced, all well-equipped. Police are speaking
:01:32. > :01:37.to the people who was with the person who went in the web. He is an
:01:38. > :01:43.experienced kayaker and had a buoyancy aid -- went in the river.
:01:44. > :01:47.They were correctly equipped so we hope that will help him to the
:01:48. > :01:50.Riverside and he self rescued. Within hours of launching the
:01:51. > :01:53.search, a kayak matching the description of the one belonging to
:01:54. > :02:00.the missing man was recovered a few miles downstream of Crickhowell. As
:02:01. > :02:06.darkness falls, the rescuers say they will not give up but will
:02:07. > :02:09.concentrate their search along the banks, using cameras and sniffer
:02:10. > :02:12.dogs. Tonight, at bridges along the river, there's a police and Fire
:02:13. > :02:15.Service presence. Although the search has been scaled down, a small
:02:16. > :02:17.specialist team will work on through the night in the hunt for the
:02:18. > :02:24.missing man. Heavy rain and strong winds have
:02:25. > :02:27.eased across Wales after a weekend of power cuts. The M4 near Swansea
:02:28. > :02:31.has reopened after a lorry overturned on the Briton Ferry
:02:32. > :02:36.Bridge. And, Western Power Distribution have reconnected around
:02:37. > :02:40.67,000 properties after power cuts. After the recent bad weather, Week
:02:41. > :02:43.In Week out will question whether there's enough money to repair and
:02:44. > :02:46.protect, or whether some communities will have to permanently retreat.
:02:47. > :02:51.That's on Tuesday at 10.35 on BBC One Wales.
:02:52. > :02:56.The number of Welsh students applying to study in England has
:02:57. > :03:00.risen by nearly 20% since 2010, to around 50,000. Figures from the
:03:01. > :03:04.university admissions body, UCAS, show that the total staying in Wales
:03:05. > :03:09.has fallen nearly 10% over the same period, to around 36,500. The Welsh
:03:10. > :03:12.Government says its policy of paying the bulk of students' tuition fees,
:03:13. > :03:16.wherever they study in the UK, was the most equitable it's ever had.
:03:17. > :03:26.But opposition parties are questioning it. We are starting to
:03:27. > :03:30.see problems with regard to the level of investment in higher
:03:31. > :03:35.education in Wales compared to England. Certainly I've been having
:03:36. > :03:38.representations from many institutions regarding the quality
:03:39. > :03:44.of living accommodation and living blocks and this is a pattern since
:03:45. > :03:45.devolution where levels of investment have been lessened in
:03:46. > :03:50.Wales. Cardiff City are just one place from
:03:51. > :03:53.the bottom of the Premier League tonight.
:03:54. > :03:59.Manchester United's draw with bottom placed Fulham kept the Bluebirds one
:04:00. > :04:02.spot ahead. Swansea City are 10th in the league after their 3-0 win
:04:03. > :04:05.against Cardiff at the Liberty Stadium yesterday. It was the Swans'
:04:06. > :04:10.first game with manager Garry Monk in charge.
:04:11. > :04:14.I know the club and the fans and the environment but it is a different
:04:15. > :04:19.situation. Again, all I cared about was the club and the players and
:04:20. > :04:23.they were magnificent. You should see the dressing room. Everyone is
:04:24. > :04:28.devastated, which they should be because they have lost the most
:04:29. > :04:31.important game of the year. They have got bounce back ability.
:04:32. > :04:37.The weather forecast now with Behnaz Akhgar.
:04:38. > :04:44.A calmer day tomorrow but icy patches first thing in the morning.
:04:45. > :04:50.Slippery surfaces on untreated areas. And wintry showers at times.
:04:51. > :04:55.Some brightness in between the showers but feeling cold in the
:04:56. > :04:58.north westerly wind. More persistent rain will head our way on Tuesday
:04:59. > :05:02.with the further risk of flooding. We're back in Breakfast with updates
:05:03. > :05:07.from 6.25. That's Wales Today. Goodnight.
:05:08. > :05:13.Good evening. A little welcome news in this forecast, unfortunately. As
:05:14. > :05:19.we have seen today the number of severe flood warnings has risen
:05:20. > :05:21.dramatically. We
