:00:00. > :00:15.Wales sports personality of the year.
:00:16. > :00:21.Major operations are being postponed on a weekly basis because
:00:22. > :00:24.of a severe shortage of intensive care beds.
:00:25. > :00:26.That's according to the Royal College of Surgeons.
:00:27. > :00:29.Speaking exclusively to BBC Wales, the college says procedures
:00:30. > :00:33.including cancer and vascular surgery are being
:00:34. > :00:37.called off, and too many patients here are waiting too long.
:00:38. > :00:41.The latest figures show 442,000 people are waiting for treatment.
:00:42. > :00:47.In September almost 72,000 had been waiting more than 26 weeks.
:00:48. > :00:51.That's more than three times the Welsh Government's own target.
:00:52. > :00:55.Our Health Correspondent, Owain Clarke, reports.
:00:56. > :00:58.Big operations cause enough worry without the extra distress
:00:59. > :01:03.This is a major cancer operation but according to the surgeon
:01:04. > :01:05.on the left, each week operations like this end
:01:06. > :01:10.up being cancelled because there are no intensive care beds available.
:01:11. > :01:12.Certainly there are plenty of instances where we put together a
:01:13. > :01:18.team to do a large cancer operation and we arrive on the day to actually
:01:19. > :01:23.find the critical care capacity is full and the patient needs to be
:01:24. > :01:28.cancelled at the last minute, which is devastating for all involved.
:01:29. > :01:31.One of the main problems according to the Royal College of Surgeons is
:01:32. > :01:35.that Wales has the lowest proportion of critical care beds in Europe,
:01:36. > :01:40.with 3.2 beds per 100,000 population compared to four in England
:01:41. > :01:49.It is a historical shortfall that has never really been addressed.
:01:50. > :01:52.And the more you postpone operations the longer patients have to wait.
:01:53. > :01:55.The college claims that the total number of patients waiting more than
:01:56. > :01:59.26 weeks for planned surgery has increased by over 70% in just under
:02:00. > :02:03.four years and there has been a dramatic tenfold rise in the number
:02:04. > :02:09.of children waiting, from 33 to nearly 350,
:02:10. > :02:14.caused in part I understand by a shortage of paediatric staff.
:02:15. > :02:16.But it's not entirely doom and gloom.
:02:17. > :02:20.The Royal College of Surgeons also says there is much
:02:21. > :02:23.to celebrate about what's happening in Wales, including where surgery in
:02:24. > :02:26.Wales is breaking new ground and one example of that is happening right
:02:27. > :02:34.After an investment of ?750,000 from the Welsh Government,
:02:35. > :02:38.this is the only place in the UK regularly offering on the NHS
:02:39. > :02:41.so-called supermicro surgery for lymphoedema patients.
:02:42. > :02:45.This painful condition where the lymph nodes swell
:02:46. > :02:49.after surgery affects around 8,000 people in Wales.
:02:50. > :02:53.Why this is ground-breaking is it treats the underlying problem with
:02:54. > :02:55.lymphoedema which is the blocked lymphatic vessels.
:02:56. > :02:59.The problem with those is the vessels are tiny.
:03:00. > :03:02.They are in the region of 0.3 of a millimetre and actually imaging
:03:03. > :03:04.them beforehand, seeing them on a scan has proved very difficult.
:03:05. > :03:09.But the new scanning equipment we now have which allows us to first
:03:10. > :03:12.inject dye into the patient's limb and then scan them allows us
:03:13. > :03:18.There are thousands upon thousands of people who are desperate to have
:03:19. > :03:21.this surgery just to try and alleviate some of the symptoms and I
:03:22. > :03:25.think the more I looked into it when I first heard about this and I
:03:26. > :03:28.researched it online, it just makes you feel how lucky you
:03:29. > :03:32.are to be living in Wales and to have the opportunity to be
:03:33. > :03:40.There's also praise for the quality of surgical training in Wales
:03:41. > :03:43.and that waiting times for heart surgery have gone down recently.
:03:44. > :03:46.But that was in part a response to a crisis
:03:47. > :03:49.a couple of years back and some patients had to be sent to England.
:03:50. > :03:52.According to one of Wales' leading heart surgeons, that simply cannot
:03:53. > :03:57.We need an adequate number of ward beds
:03:58. > :04:01.and critical care beds and above all we need staff to be recruited
:04:02. > :04:09.The Welsh Government says the NHS is its top priority
:04:10. > :04:13.and that waiting times have improved dramatically in 16 years.
:04:14. > :04:15.But the Royal College of Surgeons argue some specialist services
:04:16. > :04:19.like emergency surgery are still spread too thinly
:04:20. > :04:26.Politicians from any party they argue can no longer afford not
:04:27. > :04:35.And you can get much more on our top story on our website
:04:36. > :04:42.A father and son who died on a road in Rhondda Cynon Taff
:04:43. > :04:45.at the weekend have been named as Stuart and Fraser Bates.
:04:46. > :04:48.Mr Bates and his young son Fraser were walking back from a charity
:04:49. > :04:53.People living in Talbot Green say the stretch
:04:54. > :04:56.of road is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and have described it
:04:57. > :05:05.Floral tributes mark the spot on this busy road linking the M4
:05:06. > :05:08.with Talbot Green where a father and son died just after midnight in
:05:09. > :05:15.43-year-old Stuart Bates and his seven-year-old son Fraser
:05:16. > :05:20.were hit by a car as they tried to cross the road near the Arthur
:05:21. > :05:26.In a statement his wife said "Stuart was my Mr wonderful and
:05:27. > :05:32.I know they will both be singing and playing football in heaven".
:05:33. > :05:35.Local people who live near the scene of the accident say
:05:36. > :05:39.although there are foot paths on the busy carriageway it is treacherous
:05:40. > :05:43.and this tragedy highlights the need for a pedestrian crossing.
:05:44. > :05:47.At the end of the day, it is a dual carriageway splitting the village.
:05:48. > :05:50.I have been at the local councillors about putting in lights here.
:05:51. > :05:53.It is not the first fatality they have had here.
:05:54. > :05:55.It has been waiting to happen and now it has happened
:05:56. > :05:59.so maybe now they will be doing something about it.
:06:00. > :06:02.But in the park near their Cardiff home where Stuart and Fraser used to
:06:03. > :06:05.play football, more tributes to the father and son.
:06:06. > :06:07.Stuart Bates had been a keen cyclist and was planning to
:06:08. > :06:10.do a sponsored ride for the Wish Upon A Star Charity.
:06:11. > :06:13.More than ?4,000 has been pledged since his death
:06:14. > :06:20.The investigation into exactly what happened here is still ongoing.
:06:21. > :06:22.The 22-year-old driver of an Alfa Romeo involved in the crash
:06:23. > :06:29.He has now been questioned and bailed by police.
:06:30. > :06:33.Investigators are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed
:06:34. > :06:44.And an 18-year-old from Wrexham who died after being hit by a car
:06:45. > :06:47.on the A5 in Denbighshire has also been named by police.
:06:48. > :06:50.Katie Griffith from Ruabon died on Friday night following the crash
:06:51. > :06:54.involving a black Seat Leon on the outskirts of Llangollen.
:06:55. > :07:02.A worldwide investigation has been launched following the conviction
:07:03. > :07:05.of a man who posed online as a 13-year-old girl to blackmail
:07:06. > :07:08.paedophiles out of thousands of pounds.
:07:09. > :07:12.Lee Philip Rees was jailed for nine years for the offences back
:07:13. > :07:16.in June, but details of the case have only been revealed today.
:07:17. > :07:19.Our reporter Jennifer Jones is in the newsroom.
:07:20. > :07:31.Lee Philipp Reis is a 48-year-old convicted paedophile from the Roath
:07:32. > :07:36.area of Cardiff and as you mentioned he was jailed in June the nine years
:07:37. > :07:40.after pleading guilty to charges of computer misuse, hacking, blackmail
:07:41. > :07:45.and distributing indecent images of children. The judge rejected claims
:07:46. > :07:50.that he was on some kind of moral crusade against paedophiles when he
:07:51. > :07:54.posed as a vulnerable 13-year-old girl on online chat rooms. He
:07:55. > :07:58.targeted men who made sexual advances or who asked for images to
:07:59. > :08:02.be sent to them and he hacked into those men's computers to find photos
:08:03. > :08:07.and personal details he could use to blackmail them. Over a period of two
:08:08. > :08:12.and a half years he demanded a total of around ?40,000 from hundreds of
:08:13. > :08:17.men. As a result of the huge amount of information that was found on his
:08:18. > :08:20.computer, South Wales Police and the regional cyber crime unit have
:08:21. > :08:25.launched an unprecedented investigation to try and track down
:08:26. > :08:30.those paedophiles. Intelligence has been sent to almost every police
:08:31. > :08:36.force in the UK and to 118 other countries. It involves organisations
:08:37. > :08:39.like Interpol, Euro poll and the Child Exploitation and Online
:08:40. > :08:42.Protection Centre and we are told this investigation has already led
:08:43. > :08:45.to several arrests. South Wales Police say they welcome the
:08:46. > :08:51.nine-year sentence and stressed they Hobbit sends a clear message that
:08:52. > :08:57.blackmail and hacking offences are taking -- taken very seriously.
:08:58. > :09:00.28 towns and villages across Wales have lost their last bank within
:09:01. > :09:06.That's according to new research by BBC Wales.
:09:07. > :09:08.Charities and businesses are warning losing branches has
:09:09. > :09:11.a serious impact on business, as well as vulnerable people.
:09:12. > :09:17.This is what banking in Wales used to look like.
:09:18. > :09:22.Last month NatWest's mobile banking service started visiting
:09:23. > :09:25.the village of St Clears in Carmarthenshire to replace
:09:26. > :09:31.It's not a substitute for a bank in the village really.
:09:32. > :09:34.If there wasn't a mobile bank in St Clears, where would I go to?
:09:35. > :09:39.I suppose it's better than nothing but it's not very pleasant.
:09:40. > :09:43.There is a building down there that used to be a bank.
:09:44. > :09:46.Three years ago HSBC closed its branch on the high street.
:09:47. > :09:51.Then last month Barclays left, citing a fall in regular customers
:09:52. > :09:56.at its branch, which happened three days before the last branch in town,
:09:57. > :10:04.Those customers that I enjoyed that might have visited the high street
:10:05. > :10:10.banks and then would have come to my business, my fear now is they would
:10:11. > :10:15.consider having to go to another town to bank and then of course they
:10:16. > :10:17.will do their shopping there instead.
:10:18. > :10:22.about the impact it could have on elderly or vulnerable people.
:10:23. > :10:25.We know that around one in five older people regularly gives their
:10:26. > :10:28.bank card and pin details to someone they know, a family member or
:10:29. > :10:33.sometimes a domiciliary care worker, to get money for them and whilst
:10:34. > :10:38.most people will be very trustworthy in that situation it clearly opens
:10:39. > :10:43.Like the other banks, NatWest says the rapid decline in the number
:10:44. > :10:48.of people visiting branches has made closing unavoidable.
:10:49. > :10:51.They say they always try to minimise the impact of any closures,
:10:52. > :10:56.in particular through the use of mobile banking vans.
:10:57. > :10:59.On any given day it will get to two or three communities and that is
:11:00. > :11:03.what we're finding, by speaking to the local authorities, it enables us
:11:04. > :11:06.to get into communities where branches have closed previously or
:11:07. > :11:13.The British Bankers Association says the decision to close banks is never
:11:14. > :11:16.taken lightly and it does its best to reduce the impact
:11:17. > :11:21.But for the older people who have lost
:11:22. > :11:24.a vital service and the businesses which depend on the branches,
:11:25. > :11:32.Parents who've been fined for taking children on holiday during term-time
:11:33. > :11:35.may have been treated "unfairly" and "unlawfully".
:11:36. > :11:38.That's one of the concerns raised in a letter to the
:11:39. > :11:41.Education Minister written by the Chair of an Assembly committee.
:11:42. > :11:44.It comes as a BBC Wales investigation reveals the number
:11:45. > :11:46.of fines varies dramatically from one council to another.
:11:47. > :12:01.The Walters family from Mountain Ash often have a break in June because
:12:02. > :12:05.it's cheaper than the school holidays. But this year they were
:12:06. > :12:11.fined ?60 when they took 14-year-old Martin out of school to go to Turkey
:12:12. > :12:15.the ten days. The fine increased to ?120 when they refuse to pay in
:12:16. > :12:21.protest. A letter came through saying they were taking us to court
:12:22. > :12:27.and I panicked and I thought we better pay so we paid and they
:12:28. > :12:31.accepted it and discharged the court action. The Welsh Government have
:12:32. > :12:35.given her teachers a discretion to decide whether to find parents for
:12:36. > :12:40.taking up to ten days holiday a year in term time. A BBC Wales Freedom of
:12:41. > :12:45.information request shows that finds vary vastly according to weigh in
:12:46. > :12:49.Wales you live. The Walters family live in the Rhondda Cynon Taff
:12:50. > :12:54.council area were over ?14,000 of fines were collected in the first
:12:55. > :12:58.five months of this year. But that is dwarfed by Cardiff Council who
:12:59. > :13:03.issued over ?22,000 of fines in the same period. Meanwhile, eight local
:13:04. > :13:08.authorities did not find a single parent. Local authorities should not
:13:09. > :13:14.interfere with head teachers powers in this matter. The decision lies
:13:15. > :13:19.with head teachers. But yet still we have local authorities telling their
:13:20. > :13:22.schools not to authorise absence and we are strongly advising them
:13:23. > :13:27.against it. There are also calls for the whole system to be scrapped.
:13:28. > :13:35.This woman took a petition of 18,000 signatures to the National Assembly.
:13:36. > :13:38.The prices more than double in July and August so people can't afford
:13:39. > :13:42.the more can't get time off due to various circumstances. The man
:13:43. > :13:45.considering her petition has been looking at all the issues. The
:13:46. > :13:50.relationship between parents and schools is absolutely crucial and I
:13:51. > :13:55.think it is potentially very damaging to have this aggressive
:13:56. > :14:01.approach being brought in. We need to have an agreement and
:14:02. > :14:04.common-sense. This letter has been leaked to BBC Wales. It is from
:14:05. > :14:07.William Powell AM to the education Minister Andy says the petitions
:14:08. > :14:13.committee is concerned that that is a great deal of confusion within
:14:14. > :14:18.local authorities about term time holidays and he talks of widespread
:14:19. > :14:21.misunderstanding with many incorrectly advising schools only to
:14:22. > :14:26.authorised term time holidays in exceptional circumstances and Sam
:14:27. > :14:31.asking headteachers not to authorised term time holiday at all.
:14:32. > :14:36.He also says they have real concerns that some parents who been fined may
:14:37. > :14:41.have been dealt with and fairly and unlawfully. The education minister
:14:42. > :14:45.declined an interview about these particular allegations but
:14:46. > :14:49.previously told us he stands by his policy as a way of improving school
:14:50. > :14:56.attendance. He is now under pressure to investigate the way it is being
:14:57. > :15:00.implemented. Much more to come before 7pm. We have always known
:15:01. > :15:03.that some of the stones and Stonehenge come from the Priscilla
:15:04. > :15:09.Mountain is that new research has pointed this place as one of the
:15:10. > :15:15.exact spots. Could this have been a Neolithic quarry? And on flood
:15:16. > :15:16.warning still in force but further rain tonight. A full forecast in a

:15:23. > :15:24.our top sports stars are gathering It's a chance to celebrate
:15:25. > :15:27.the achievements of our elite athletes and those who
:15:28. > :15:30.volunteer at grassroots level. Tomos Dafydd is mingling with
:15:31. > :15:34.the guests. It's a night to reflect on another
:15:35. > :15:39.eventful year in Welsh sport. Later on, the BBC Cymru Wales
:15:40. > :15:42.Sports Personality of the Year will be revealed and the winner
:15:43. > :15:44.will be picking-up that trophy. But before then
:15:45. > :15:48.the third round draw of the FA Cup Swansea City are in the hat,
:15:49. > :15:53.but will Garry Monk be manager Another defeat at the weekend means
:15:54. > :16:01.his side has won only once in 11 league games and tonight one
:16:02. > :16:04.bookmaker has suspended betting on Monk becoming the next Premier
:16:05. > :16:26.League manager to be sacked. A 3-0 defeat at home to Leicester
:16:27. > :16:30.was another blow. The pressure intensifying and Garry Monk's
:16:31. > :16:37.position as manager is again in doubt. The results have not been
:16:38. > :16:42.good enough during this period and I feel sorry for the fans. We're not
:16:43. > :16:47.playing the way I know this can play and the way those players can play.
:16:48. > :16:51.You feel you are getting somewhere and then you get a setback in its
:16:52. > :16:55.very first trading. The latest result has left Swansea City just
:16:56. > :16:58.one point above the relegation zone. This morning rumours were
:16:59. > :17:04.circulating that the manager was gone. This caused some bookmakers to
:17:05. > :17:07.suspend betting on Garry Monk's sacking. But earlier tonight I had a
:17:08. > :17:12.brief conversation with the Swansea chairman who said he did meet with a
:17:13. > :17:17.manager this morning for what was described as their usual chat and we
:17:18. > :17:26.should not expect any more regarding Garry Monk's future today. The
:17:27. > :17:29.successor has been discussed. Former Manchester United manager David
:17:30. > :17:34.Moyes is amongst the favourites but BBC Wales understands he is not
:17:35. > :17:36.interested in the job. Former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and
:17:37. > :17:42.Rangers boss Mark Warburton at two other names discussed by fans.
:17:43. > :17:45.Whoever is in charge and it may well be Garry Monk, there is a daunting
:17:46. > :17:51.away fixture against Manchester City ahead this weekend. You have to be
:17:52. > :17:56.realistic and if Gary cannot turn this around sooner rather than later
:17:57. > :18:00.something will have to happen. They have got Manchester City away on
:18:01. > :18:07.Saturday which will be tough and when Swansea sacked Baikal Laudrup
:18:08. > :18:10.he was on a run of one win in ten games and we all hope Gary can turn
:18:11. > :18:15.it around but it's going to be difficult. He has been admired and
:18:16. > :18:20.respected by the Swansea City fans thanks to over a decade of service
:18:21. > :18:21.as player, captain as manager. He remains in his job this evening but
:18:22. > :18:26.for how long remains unclear. The FA Cup third round draw
:18:27. > :18:29.is starting It's when semi-professional,
:18:30. > :18:33.non-league clubs have a chance of being drawn against the
:18:34. > :18:36.billionaires of the Premier League. Doing the draw will be

:20:53. > :20:56.surprise to ladies who've been working tirelessly to teach children
:20:57. > :20:58.how to swim for many years. Let's remind us of that moment when I went
:20:59. > :21:22.to surprise them. Congratulations! I am delighted to say that they are
:21:23. > :21:33.with me now. Good evening. What has been the reaction to winning this
:21:34. > :21:38.award? Amazing. I've had a number of cards and a lot of people I know
:21:39. > :21:40.have been saying it is about time you were rewarded with something
:21:41. > :21:47.because of all the years you've done. We never imagined we would win
:21:48. > :21:54.let alone have all these cards and congratulations and phone calls. And
:21:55. > :21:58.what are you looking forward to in particular tonight? I know you are a
:21:59. > :22:02.big fan of Dan Biggar, one of the big nominees tonight. It would be
:22:03. > :22:05.nice to meet him in person and my grandchildren would like me to meet
:22:06. > :22:13.with him but being here tonight is amazing. At home everybody has been
:22:14. > :22:19.so kind and sending us cards and people say, we never realised that
:22:20. > :22:30.you did such a thing, being farmers wives. Thank you for your time.
:22:31. > :22:31.Enjoy tonight. A lot of people in Llanrwst will be watching online
:22:32. > :22:33.tonight. You'll be able to see who wins
:22:34. > :22:36.on the BBC Sport website Coverage too on BBC Radio Wales
:22:37. > :22:39.and Radio Cymru and we'll have all the big winners
:22:40. > :22:42.on Wales Today at 10:25pm. The ceremony will also be made
:22:43. > :22:44.available So, news of the awards winners
:22:45. > :22:52.and the FA Cup draw New research into Pembrokeshire's
:22:53. > :22:59.connection to Stonehenge has reignited a long-running dispute
:23:00. > :23:02.between scientists. A team of researchers has published
:23:03. > :23:05.new findings pinpointing two quarries as the exact source
:23:06. > :23:09.of the Preseli bluestones. Archaeologists say these stones were
:23:10. > :23:13.quarried and then transported almost 200 miles to Stonehenge to form
:23:14. > :23:16.an inner ring. But others believe
:23:17. > :23:32.the rocks were carried to A near that -- Neolithic puzzle with
:23:33. > :23:35.two competing theories. No one doubts that Welsh stones form part
:23:36. > :23:43.of this ancient monument but how they got there, that is less
:23:44. > :23:46.straightforward. This mountain in the Purcell is has long been other
:23:47. > :23:49.as the source for the bluestones but new research has pinpointed that
:23:50. > :23:54.exact origin more accurately to two outcrops, one of them here.
:23:55. > :24:00.Scientists think they were mined here. What we do have is cut
:24:01. > :24:05.features against the rock face which look like they are places where
:24:06. > :24:11.stones were prised out of and we have the features with stone set in
:24:12. > :24:17.them which we think we're used to stabilise the rocks as they were
:24:18. > :24:22.lowered onto sledges. Excavations at this site allowed radiocarbon dating
:24:23. > :24:28.of burnt hazelnuts and charcoal, evidence of a Neolithic activity.
:24:29. > :24:32.But it is significantly earlier than previous radiocarbon dating of
:24:33. > :24:36.Stonehenge as suggested. There is about 500 years difference between
:24:37. > :24:40.when researchers believe the stones were mined here and when they
:24:41. > :24:45.arrived in Wiltshire. That could be a problem for this theory so would
:24:46. > :24:49.lead the team to support the idea that the stones were used as some
:24:50. > :24:54.kind of local monument first before being dismantled and carried away.
:24:55. > :24:58.But a competing theory can explain this time delay with another
:24:59. > :25:05.explanation. That the stones were not transported by mannitol but by a
:25:06. > :25:10.glazier. Some experts who study landforms do not believe these
:25:11. > :25:16.outcrops were quarries. But instead ancient Neolithic campsites for
:25:17. > :25:21.hunting. Old quarrying -- no quarrying tools have been found, the
:25:22. > :25:26.only mention has been of wages apparently but no wedges have been
:25:27. > :25:31.found. We think the evidence points to natural processes. What could
:25:32. > :25:35.settle this once and for all is proof of that early local
:25:36. > :25:36.Stonehenge. If it was found this Neolithic country could be solved
:25:37. > :25:39.once and for all. The weather's been making all
:25:40. > :25:52.the headlines. A very wet and windy week over North
:25:53. > :25:57.Wales but gale force winds and guests of 83 mph with 172
:25:58. > :26:05.millimetres of rain falling in Kapil Curig. One flood warning in place
:26:06. > :26:10.tonight. This was the River Clwyd near Saint Asaph in Denver show this
:26:11. > :26:14.morning. Today has been a respite, often sunny and mild with
:26:15. > :26:20.temperatures reaching 17 Celsius in Aberystwyth. Further rain arrives
:26:21. > :26:25.tonight. A band of rain moving eastwards and heavy downpours. It
:26:26. > :26:30.will become drier in the West later. Staying mild with overnight
:26:31. > :26:35.temperatures between eight and nine Celsius. Tomorrow will be blustery
:26:36. > :26:39.with a few showers. Sunny spells in between the showers and a bit
:26:40. > :26:46.brighter but remaining windy. Top temperatures of nine Celsius in
:26:47. > :26:48.Anglesey and 12 in Cardiff. They try and two tomorrow as a ridge of high
:26:49. > :26:52.pressure builds from the south-west to bring more settled conditions
:26:53. > :26:58.later and overnight into Wednesday. Quite clear night the of us and just
:26:59. > :26:59.a few isolated showers. Feeling colder than recent nights into
