the creative process of one of the world's most imaginative authors.

:00:00.:00:00.

Gompertz has the story. That's all from

:00:00.:00:21.

Emergency services have been involved in a major search

:00:22.:00:25.

after a 12-year-old boy was swept out to sea off the Anglesey coast.

:00:26.:00:31.

the search has been temporarily called off

:00:32.:00:36.

The lifeboats and helicopters have also been stood down for now.

:00:37.:00:41.

Visibility at the scene has been described as horrendous,

:00:42.:00:43.

Strong winds whipped the sea off Aberffraw into a frenzy.

:00:44.:00:49.

This local lifeboat rising and falling on large waves as it

:00:50.:00:52.

tried to locate the missing boy. It is thought he was with his family

:00:53.:00:55.

visiting from the North of England. He and a younger boy were paddling

:00:56.:00:58.

near rocks when they got into difficulty.

:00:59.:01:02.

We had a call of a person in the water down at Aberffraw here

:01:03.:01:05.

and he was with another child in the water, they were paddling.

:01:06.:01:10.

The tide, the waves came in and they were swept out.

:01:11.:01:14.

The father managed to get one of the children out of the water

:01:15.:01:17.

and a grandfather went in to rescue the other lad.

:01:18.:01:21.

But the wave swept over and he managed to grab the rocks but lost

:01:22.:01:25.

grip of the child that is missing. The search involved police,

:01:26.:01:27.

the coastguard, lifeboat crews, the RAF search and rescue

:01:28.:01:30.

helicopter from nearby Valley as well as the Air Ambulance.

:01:31.:01:33.

Onlookers say the conditions made the search all the more challenging.

:01:34.:01:39.

Very big seas. It's quite surprising

:01:40.:01:42.

how rough it is today. There's two lifeboats out there.

:01:43.:01:45.

Porthdinllaen and Trearddur Bay lifeboat the RAF helicopter and

:01:46.:01:50.

the police helicopter and there's coastguards and police dotted around

:01:51.:01:56.

the beach and on the headland. There's a lot of people here today.

:01:57.:01:59.

There's children dotted around in their shorts and

:02:00.:02:03.

in their swimming costumes. The boy's family were taken to

:02:04.:02:06.

a nearby ambulance station to be treated for injuries they sustained

:02:07.:02:09.

during their rescue attempts. Police officers are helping to

:02:10.:02:12.

support them while they await news. This is a popular beach

:02:13.:02:15.

for tourists and for local people. But many here today have been

:02:16.:02:18.

shocked at the sudden deterioration in the weather and the tragic turn

:02:19.:02:19.

of events it has brought about. Campaigners have started arriving

:02:20.:02:23.

at a make shift camp-site in Thousands of protestors are

:02:24.:02:25.

expected over the next week. It comes as police step up

:02:26.:02:30.

their preparations in the city, with almost ten thousand officers

:02:31.:02:33.

part of the security operation. The first of what may swell to

:02:34.:02:44.

thousands. Protesters setting up camp in

:02:45.:02:47.

Tredegar Park in Newport ahead of next

:02:48.:02:51.

Thursday and Friday's NATO summit. The banner outside acting as an

:02:52.:02:56.

unofficial welcome sign. Inside, work is underway on the

:02:57.:02:59.

temporary kitchens and the toilets have been delivered.

:03:00.:03:04.

There is an estimated between seven and 10 million people around

:03:05.:03:07.

the world who have made homeless by NATO actions and that is what is

:03:08.:03:12.

creating tensions in the world and why there is more conflict.

:03:13.:03:16.

It is an insult that it comes to Wales,

:03:17.:03:20.

given our history of working for peace.

:03:21.:03:23.

The message that we are hoping to send out is, please, everybody, stop

:03:24.:03:26.

and think what has happened to NATO. Stop and think of the reckless

:03:27.:03:36.

decisions our leaders are making when they bomb and pollute and

:03:37.:03:43.

destroy other parts of the world. On the other side of town,

:03:44.:03:48.

preparations are also being made. Police cordons are being delivered

:03:49.:03:51.

to the Rodney Parade Stadium, where officers will be based.

:03:52.:03:55.

Heavy-duty hardware designed to block roads,

:03:56.:04:01.

paid for by the UK Government. Overall,

:04:02.:04:04.

9500 police officers will arrive from 43 forces, including those that

:04:05.:04:10.

protect the UK's nuclear sites. 1500 officers will come from

:04:11.:04:13.

South Wales. They will be protecting 150 world

:04:14.:04:18.

leaders and ministers, including the US President.

:04:19.:04:25.

Today, following developments in Iraq and Syria,

:04:26.:04:29.

the UK's terror threat level was increased to severe,

:04:30.:04:34.

which means it is highly likely an attack could happen.

:04:35.:04:38.

But despite all this, it is business as usual in Newport city centre,

:04:39.:04:42.

with only the suggestion something big is around the corner.

:04:43.:04:47.

Jonathan Hodson owns a bar in the city

:04:48.:04:49.

and lives near one of the proposed protest routes.

:04:50.:04:53.

If anything were to happen, it is possible we would stay

:04:54.:04:55.

at the premises overnight instead of going home.

:04:56.:05:07.

This family are also making plans. My children's schools are closed so

:05:08.:05:08.

I can't go into work because I can't afford childcare so that will be the

:05:09.:05:14.

major disruption. We were going to do stuff

:05:15.:05:18.

like laser tag but we couldn't. We couldn't go because NATO is on.

:05:19.:05:25.

Cardiff has borne the brunt so far of the disruption.

:05:26.:05:29.

This security fence causing serious congestion around the city centre.

:05:30.:05:34.

The Celtic Manor Hotel at the heart of the summit

:05:35.:05:39.

is also starting to resemble a fortress.

:05:40.:05:42.

While there are few visible signs in the city centre

:05:43.:05:46.

that NATO is coming to Newport, there is a definite feeling that

:05:47.:05:52.

something big is an the horizon. Just how big

:05:53.:05:54.

and how it affects people here, we will know in the next few days.

:05:55.:06:00.

For now, the streets are police and protest free

:06:01.:06:04.

but there are signs that may be about to change.

:06:05.:06:08.

The former Chief Executive of a race equality charity has been found not

:06:09.:06:11.

guilty on two charges of defrauding the now defunct organisation.

:06:12.:06:15.

65-year-old Naz Malik headed the All Wales Ethnic Minority Association or

:06:16.:06:21.

The jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge.

:06:22.:06:26.

The Crown Prosecution Service say they will now take time to decide

:06:27.:06:29.

A man has died in hospital four days after

:06:30.:06:35.

allegedly being assaulted outside a pub in Caerphilly town centre.

:06:36.:06:38.

26-year-old Jake Sweeney who lived in the area,

:06:39.:06:41.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

:06:42.:06:49.

Regional rugby bosses have issued a heartfelt apology to fans,

:06:50.:06:53.

for the anxiety caused by the on-going dispute in Welsh rugby.

:06:54.:06:57.

Talking publicly for the first time since they signed

:06:58.:07:00.

a new deal with the Welsh Rugby Union, they acknowledge

:07:01.:07:02.

the two-year process had been tortuous at times

:07:03.:07:05.

but say they're now comfortable with the way ahead.

:07:06.:07:11.

It has been very difficult at times. It has been very tough

:07:12.:07:15.

and very uncomfortable at times. The important thing is that, anyway,

:07:16.:07:20.

we are through that. None of us can change history.

:07:21.:07:23.

We do have a platform now that is a good platform to work from

:07:24.:07:28.

for both sides and really gives us the opportunity

:07:29.:07:31.

to move forwards effectively. The clubs say they're pleased

:07:32.:07:35.

attention can now turn to activities on the pitch, which kicked

There will be some sunshine. In Wales, if you showers likely, mainly
