Our other headlines tonight: This school was failing and now it's top | :00:00. | :00:32. | |
of the class - will copying its example raise standards here? | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
After a day of searching - a body is found. Tonight the family of kayaker | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Gareth Lockyer pay tribute to him. Surgeons tell us why working | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
together in one hospital is helping patients' chances of surviving | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
cancer. Good evening. In tonight's sport: it | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
could yet get worse. Wilfried Bony! It has got worse! | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
It's a dream derby for Swansea's new manager but another defeat means | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Cardiff's problems deepen. Good evening. Police are | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
investigating whether the death of a man in Cardiff is linked with an | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
internet drinking game. The 29-year-old man has been named | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
locally as Stephen Brookes from the Rumney area of the city. NekNominate | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
involves dares which are filmed and posted online. The online craze has | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
already been linked to the death of a 20-year-old man in London and two | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
deaths in Ireland. Matt Murray reports. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
It's an internet drinking game which has swept through social media. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
NekNominate involves people filming themselves downing a drink, posting | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
a video online and then nominating someone else to do the same. It also | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
often involves carrying out a stunt or a trick. But now has it played | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
its part in claiming the life of this man - Stephen Brookes. Today | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
his family at home in the Rumney area of Cardiff told me they are | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
awaiting the results of a postmortem before making any comment. But last | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
night his friends took to Twitter to pay tribute and express their | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
concern. One said, "NekNomination is going way too far now." Another | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
said, "People really need to stop doing neck and nominate because | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
today we've lost someone from it." The drinking game has already | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
claimed lives. Len Brimble is from Cwmbran. His teenage nephew Johnny | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Byrne died ten days ago in Ireland. It made headline news after he | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
jumped into a river as part of the internet drinking game. It's | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
believed he'd also downed a pint of mixed spirits. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
It is all the weirdest things. You name it as a dare and they were | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
David. These kids have got to get it in their thick heads to see the | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
damage it is doing to families. We are ripped apart, we are progressed | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
with grief. -- bereft with grief. We just don't know what to do. There is | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
no answer to it. You would never think he would do anything like | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
that. The use of social media has seen | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
videos shared across the world. We asked students today at Aberystwyth | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
University what they think of it. It's funny to watch but I don't | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
think I would partake in it. I got nominated by one of my flatmates. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
He had done his and nominated some people so I thought I may as well. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
I decided not to because I don't like the whole idea of it. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
It's believed the game started in Australia and has seen people down | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
toxic substances including motor oil and nail varnish remover. But more | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
often than not, it's alcohol. With this game there seems to be a | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
tendency for people to try and up the auntie and claim they've done | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
all sorts of things, which other people are trying to copy with quite | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
tragic consequences. Back in Cwmbran, Len Brimble | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
believes online peer pressure means many are taking part in NekNominate | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
against their will and he has one clear message A | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
don't do it. Become a chicken. There is nothing wrong with being honest | :04:16. | :04:30. | |
about not killing yourself. The rest of the day's news: A new package of | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
support to help raise standards in our worst performing schools has | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
been announced by the Welsh Government Schools Challenge Cymru | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
will receive ?20 million a year targeted at the 40 schools the | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
government believes are most in need of support. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
It's modelled on a scheme rolled out in London and our education | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
correspondent Arwyn Jones has been to see how it worked there. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Ten years ago this school in Tottenham was the worst performing | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
school in London so in 2003, they were included in the London | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
challenge and as a result, standards here went through the roof. The | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
results speak for themselves. Since they became involved with the London | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
challenge in 2003, the number of pupils here who have achieved the | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
highest grades at GCSE level has gone up by between five and 10% | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
every year. Put simply, the challenge was a programme of support | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
for the poorest performing schools in inner London. They brought in | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
experts who worked alongside my teachers to build up their capacity | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
to really get them to focus on the things that were critical to develop | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the teaching so that the learning of children improved. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Schools helped each other, sharing best practice and even staff at that | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
had its own problems. There is a problem about the | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
government desire that schools cooperate and compete because the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
outstanding school that is helping other schools doesn't want its own | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
results to go down as a result of its staff being elsewhere. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
This school in Wales is a textbook example of how the government would | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
like all other schools to work, seen as somewhere they get the most out | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
of their pupils and sharing expertise. The head of English helps | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
other schools learn how to improve teaching. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
It is something we have worked hard on within the school and other | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
secondary schools in Wales. It is always useful to share effective | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
practice and see what other schools are doing. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
When she is helping others, this school loses a valuable teacher and | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
that's tricky. Launching the scheme to day, the education minister said | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
it was important to get the best mix. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
There are two types of schools involved here. There are those that | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
are underperforming and those that are delivering. The schools that are | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
delivering will be leaned upon, if you like, to be part of the | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
programme. It would only be right that we acknowledge that. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Others say we mustn't assume that a system that worked in London will | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
necessarily work here. It is well intended and it has got | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
that drive to prove performance -- to improve performance but we have | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
to make it come here. It has been a difficult few months. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Also with disappointing results and slipping standards. The opposition | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
parties said the fault lies with the Welsh government mismanaging this | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
system. The question is will this renewed focus turn things around? So | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
what's the answer Arwyn? Is this likely to spark a change in | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
fortunes in underperforming schools? Manchester has already done | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
this very successfully. The Midlands were less successful. It depends how | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
you do it. When you get experts going into a school you're almost | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
bound to see a short-term increase in standards that to make this | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
sustainable, you need those two elements of the excellent schools | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
working with the failing schools. Do we have enough excellent schools in | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Wales? Are they willing to help support the failing schools? Are | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
they willing to give away their best teachers to support another school? | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
The Welsh government says they will and we heard the education minister | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
saying if they don't that he would lean on them. Let's see what that | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
means. Over the next few weeks we will see which 40 schools will be | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
involved. The Welsh government will decide. The sense you get is the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Welsh government trying to get on the front foot after a few months | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
when it is going through a tricky time. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Police have confirmed tonight they've seized heroin worth millions | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
of pounds. Nine people have been charged with supplying drugs. They | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
were arrested in Cardiff, Newport and on the M5 in a joint operation | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
by Gwent and South Wales police. A man who murdered a woman, stabbing | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
her 40 times, has been sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in jail. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Steven Williams waited five hours before calling an ambulance after he | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
attacked Joanna Hall at her flat in Tenby. She died in hospital three | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
weeks later, after describing the attack from her bed. The judge | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
described what Williams had done as "brutal and callous". | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
After weeks of storm damage and floods drivers had to contend with | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
snow this morning. This was Wrexham, where around an inch fell. Several | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
accidents and treacherous conditions caused some problems for traffic. | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
The family of a kayaker who went missing on the River Usk in mid | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Wales have described him as an adventurous and caring man. Gareth | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
Lockyer from Warwick disappeared when he was with a group of | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
experienced kayakers, at Llangynidr, near Crickhowell. This morning | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
rescuers found a body. Caroline Evans reports. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
These pictures filmed by the rescue team show the atrocious conditions | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
they faced as they searched the River Usk yesterday. Gareth Lockyer | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
was with a group of friends when he went missing. His family said he had | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
been canoeing since he was a boy that he had never been to this part | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
of the river before. This morning the conditions remained so dangerous | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
that a decision was taken to send a helicopter at to assess the area | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
before searchers were allowed to continue. It was from the helicopter | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
they were able to locate a body. Last night villagers turned out to | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
do what they could, making tea for the search teams. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
People had been working very, very hard. You could tell from their | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
responses when they came in. They were so pleased for the minimum of | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
refreshments. Those who say they know the river | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
say they have never seen anything like it. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
I have never seen it anything like that high. I have lived here for 35 | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
years. The rescue services had been doing a wonderful job. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
They were trying to come up the river in an inflatable, trying to | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
get to the bank. It was really difficult. But mountain rescue say | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
this was not the case of someone going into the water and prepared. | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
-- unprepared. It is easy to take away casting judgement that they | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
shouldn't have been going into the water. On this occasion, the | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
gentleman seems well-equipped and confident. An experienced water | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
sports teacher said the river is at its best when levels are high. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
It has been perfect for month. You can only kayak in these rivers when | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
it has rained and the higher they get, the faster it is flowing and | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
the less rocks there are. Five years ago Gareth Lockyer joined Leamington | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
spa Canoe club. His family say he wanted to meet new | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
people and would kayak around the UK with his partner. It is not known if | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
the couple were together on this trip. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
Much more to come before 7:00pm, including: Why the coins in your | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
pocket maybe about to change in a security make over by the Royal Mint | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
in Llantrisant. And where did it all go wrong? What | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
chances of retaining the Six Nations title now? | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Cancers of the stomach and oesophagus are some of the most | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
difficult to treat. They tend to be more common in Wales and survival | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
rates are poor. But the proportion of people surviving surgery for | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
those cancers has increased by a fifth in south east Wales. It | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
follows a decision to concentrate surgery at one hospital. And that's | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
brought into sharp focus the debate about whether more NHS services | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
should be centralised. Our health correspondent Owain Clarke has been | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
given exclusive access to the surgical team at the University | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. It is first thing on a Monday | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
morning but if you work here, you can't afford to ease yourself gently | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
into the working week. This patient has stomach cancer and the surgeons | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
hope that by removing four fifths of his stomach they will be able to | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
cure the disease. The operation is being led by two consultants. The | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
standard way surgeons work is as individuals and you are there making | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
the decisions on your own. It is helpful to have a mate to talk | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
things through with. Before 2010, all the large hospitals | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
offered this type of surgery but working alone. Patients still get | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
initial tests at their local hospitals but all surgery and | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
recovery happens here at the Heath. You get a built in a second opinion | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
because some of these decision over whether or not a case is operable or | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
if you've got to do something that is really quite ambitious, | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
sometimes, to try and save a life, are easier to take if you have a | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
colleague with you. Performing surgery can be | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
challenging but this isn't a job for the faint-hearted either. This man | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
needs all of his energy before he clocks up miles on his night shift. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
I'm doing roughly 450 kilometres a night. Three years ago he was | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus and was one of the first | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
to be treated under the new arrangements. | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
I thought I'm not ready to go yet. I met the surgeon and he came into the | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
office and said, "this is the problem you've got. We are going to | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
get it out of you. " That confidence lifted me no end. | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
He was right to be confident- he was back on the road in a couple of | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
months. Once you have been given that | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
diagnosis, I would have travelled to the end of the world. As it worked | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
out, I had the best team in the world. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
It isn't only this man who's benefited will stop centralising the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
services has led to an increase in the number of patients still alive a | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
year after surgery. Convocations have dropped by half and the amount | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
of time spent in hospital has been reduced by three days. Centralising | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
care is controversial, as seen in North and West Wales. There is | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
anxiety about plans that will be announced on Thursday to concentrate | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
accident and emergency and neonatal care in fewer hospitals in South | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Wales. Some say the changes would be needed if we had more hospitals. | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
We asked 100 patients what their views were on travelling and not one | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
said that they wouldn't travel. What they do state is that they found | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
their relatives found it difficult to visit them because of the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
transport infrastructure, and that is a concern because you if you are | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
in hospital, the high point of your day is visiting time. | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Back in theatre and the tumour is larger than expected but after a | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
chat, both consultants choose to press ahead. According to | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
supporters, it is an illustration of the benefit of bringing experts | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
together but the challenge is to convince the wider public. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Centralisation and reorganisation of hospitals has proved very | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
controversial so on Thursday we'll bring you the details of those plans | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
to reorganise hospitals across South Wales. | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
Back to tonight. A 25-year-old woman is facing drug charges following the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
death of a woman from south Wales whilst she was on holiday in | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Bulgaria. Nina Holmes, who was 33 and from Gorseinon, near Swansea, | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
collapsed and died eight days ago in the ski resort of Borovets. | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
Fake coins cost the global money markets billions each year. But in a | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
world first, technology developed in Wales could make them a thing of the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
past. After years of research, the Royal Mint in Llantrisant has | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
designed a fraud prevention system that could change how the world uses | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
its currency. Carwyn Jones has been finding out more. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
Each year, the Royal Mint in Llantrisant produces around five | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
billion coins for more than 50 countries. It's the largest | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
exporting mint in the world. But when the coins leave this plant, | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
there's the risk that someone, somewhere will try to forge them. | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
There is always a concern about that and certainly as technology | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
advances, the ability to forge increases. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
The forging of coins has become an increasingly sophisticated business. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Imprint of me are three -- in front of me are three coins. They are all | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
magnetic but one of these three coins is a fake. For the last five | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
years, experts at the Mint have been trying produce a coin that's | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
impossible to forge. And they now believe they've cracked it. The | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
technology they've developed is called ISIS - it allows them to | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
alter the metallic composition of the coin itself. There's a secret | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
ingredient inserted into the metal at the production stage. It's | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
invisible to the naked eye and it makes the coin unique. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
It is not a coating, it is an ingredient throughout the alloy of | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
the metal so it is a real step away. It is roughly the right shape | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
and size, which is what we rely on today, to a definitive yes or no. | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
The life span of any coin is around 30 years - so the technology had to | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
be durable. It also had to withstand the coining process itself. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
This has to withstand 850 Celsius and it has to be able to withstand a | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
striking pressure when we actually put the print on the Queen, of over | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
100 tonnes. The Royal Mint has just won an | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
innovation award for ISIS - and it believes, in time, that counterfeit | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
coins could be a thing of the past. It's cost ?20 million to develop the | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
technology but when you consider that fake coins cost the global | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
money markets billion each year, experts here believe that's a small | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
price to pay. A wealth of football and rugby news | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
now - here's Ashleigh with tonight's sport. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Thanks very much. Cardiff City were going for the double but Swansea | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
City got the treble - a 3-0 win over their local rivals to boost Garry | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Monk's chances of keeping the vacant manager's job at the Liberty | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Stadium. It also heaped pressure on his opposite number Ole Gunnar | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
Solskjaer, who needs his side to bounce back by beating Aston Villa | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
tomorrow. The interim manager made it look | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
easy but Garry meant has been around long enough not to get carried away. | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
Swansea players came in with energy and passion that has been missing | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
but one victory doesn't guarantee survival. He wants to see the same | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
match after match, starting at Stoke. He said the standard you need | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
to reach and there is no good doing it for one game. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
I understand that doesn't necessarily guarantee a win but if | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
you can maintain your standard as much as possible, they will give | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
everything they've got and I can live with the result. | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
The Swans fans headed happily home and if there were any doubters | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
beforehand, many were persuaded that Garry Monk should now get the | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
manager job. No disrespect to Michael Laudrup but | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
he has got the passion back. You are doing a great job! | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Keep it going! He knows the club and the players | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
and the fans. The defeat will be hard for Cardiff | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
fans to take. Many felt Ole Gunner Solskjaer got the selection wrong. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
Aston Villa visit them tomorrow night. They are also in the scrap | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
for survival, six points clear of night. They are also in the scrap | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
for survival, six Cardiff, pushing the second from bottom in the table. | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
for survival, six Cardiff, pushing the second from The manager believes | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
he has seen positive signs. They have reacted the right way and | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
we go in with high hopes. It was a bad defeat but there are two ways to | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
go -you either bounce back what you feel sorry for yourself and you | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
can't afford to do that in the Premier League. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
There was a controversial incident which has resulted in Craig Bellamy | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
being charged for violent conduct for this collision. He has got until | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
six o'clock tomorrow evening to respond. | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
It's something we've not been used to for the past few seasons - seeing | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Wales outplayed in a Six Nations match. Warren Gatland says the | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
defeat in Ireland was one of the worst since he took over as coach. | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Let's talk to former Wales prop Ben Evans. How did a great team end up | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
looking so Paul? It was a complete performance from Ireland. | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
Every facet of their game was spot-on and the Welsh boys were not | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
up to it. You spoke about the post-Lions blues and if I'm honest, | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
I think it is a bit of that and an undertone of the wranglings with the | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
regions, how can it not affect the boys? You think it would be that and | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
tired legs as well? Those Irish boys played well. | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Take your hat off to them. I've gone from being a rugby player to a fan. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
There are legends in the Welsh team. Don't take it away from the last, | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
they haven't become rubbish overnight. It was a bad performance | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
but a credit to the Irish boys. Warren Gatland said he felt he could | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
either change the team will give the players who hadn't performed well | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
another chance. That is the condition. | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
If the other boys a chance and risk the failure again or get some new | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
boys and if it comes off, it's a matter mind plan. Who knows what's | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
going to happen with Mac I think he should stick with them. These boys | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
are growing. It wasn't a great autumn campaign. It is a lull. We | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
are only two games in and everyone is saying it's a disaster. | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
In a sentence, can Wales still win the championship? Of course! | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
Of course they can! It is open to stop the Irish team is one to watch | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
out for and the biggest game of the six Nations is going to be Ireland | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
against France. I would pay big money to see that one. | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
Thanks very much indeed. Snow, ice, gales and torrential rain now to | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
cheer you up. Here's Derek with the forecast. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
I wish I could say we have seen the last of the rain but there is more | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
to come. Severe gales. Snow for some of us too, and not just on high | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
ground. As far as rain is concerned, another 40 to 60mm is expected quite | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
widely across mid, south and west Wales by Friday with a risk of 80mm | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
or more on the Brecon Beacons. This evening any showers will die away so | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
the whole country dry for a while. Quite cold too with a touch of frost | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
inland. However a band of heavy rain will move east during the early | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
hours. Ten to 20mm of rain likely accompanied by strong and gusty | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
winds. The reason for the rain is this active front. Behind it colder, | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
unstable air from the Arctic and wintry showers including snow. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
Here's the picture for 8:00am. A wet start for most of the north. Snow on | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
ground above about 250m. Similar story too for Powys and the south. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
Snow on the Brecon Beacons. The south-west and parts of the west | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
coast dry and clear. During the morning the rain clear. It will be | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
dry and brighten-up. The sun will come out. A few scattered showers. | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
Heavy in places and wintry on higher ground but the showers hit and miss | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
so some places will enjoy a dry afternoon. Top temperatures four to | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
seven Celsius and breezy. The wind strong on exposed coasts and hills | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
making it feel cold. Tomorrow night is one to watch! More rain and | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
wintry showers on the way. Some of them heavy and falling as snow. A | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
few centimetres of snow in places even down to low levels from the | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
Valleys northwards. Into Wednesday the jet stream will steer another | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
Atlantic storm towards the UK. And there is a Met Office amber warning | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
in force for severe gales. So on Wednesday showers will give way to | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
wet and windy weather. Thursday brighter. The wind easing with | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
sunshine and showers. The showers wintry on higher ground. Friday may | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
start dry but it won't last. There is more wind and rain on the way! So | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
more severe weather to come this week. More flooding and disruption | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
likely. Keep a close eye on the forecast if you can. | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
While we're on the subject of the weather, Week In Week Out will | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
question whether there's enough money to repair and protect, or | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
whether some communities will have to permanently retreat from the | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
floodwater. That's tomorrow at 10:35pm on BBC One Wales. | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
The weather is our main story tonight. Flooded homes on the River | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
Thames are being evacuated and thousands more are at risk - river | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
levels are the highest they've been for decades. There is no first great | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
Western mainline services from Paddington because of flooding in | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
Maidenhead. Police in Cardiff are investigating | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
reports a Stephen Brookes from Cardiff collapsed after playing | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
NekNominate. It's been blamed for two deaths in Ireland. X-Ray's | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
coming up in half an hour, here's Lucy with a preview. | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
Tonight we are going to be meeting a family who have tried to save money | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
on their fuel bills but ended up ?15,000 out of pocket and we are | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
going to be finding out if you can really save money in pound shops. | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
I'll have an update for you here at 8:00pm and again after the BBC news | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
at 10:00pm. That's Wales Today. Thank you for watching. From all of | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
us on the programme, good evening. | :28:19. | :28:21. |
