We are back with the late news at 11pm.

:00:00.:00:12.

There's a warning that some areas of west and north Wales should be

:00:13.:00:17.

braced for further flooding after several flash

:00:18.:00:22.

One of the routes into the village of Llechryd near Cardigan

:00:23.:00:24.

was submerged and several homes in the village of Tremadog

:00:25.:00:28.

Natural Resources Wales say more rain is due to affect the same areas

:00:29.:00:33.

The road to the village of Llechryd near Cardigan was invisible today.

:00:34.:00:40.

Heavy rain overnight led to the River Teifi

:00:41.:00:44.

Maureen Rhys had come from Christmas celebrations at church

:00:45.:00:48.

and was trying to reach her daughter who lives in the village.

:00:49.:00:55.

It rained all day yesterday and all this morning, up to the early hours.

:00:56.:01:03.

This is the result. It is rain, rain, rain.

:01:04.:01:08.

Meanwhile, the drive of a local hotel

:01:09.:01:10.

was completely flooded meaning no staff could get in and no guests

:01:11.:01:13.

The owner says this is the second time it's happened in five years.

:01:14.:01:17.

We would expect to have people in for lunch today, but obviously that

:01:18.:01:24.

is not going to happen. But will certainly affect our business. On

:01:25.:01:29.

the guests we do have are keen to get home and they were due to check

:01:30.:01:33.

out this morning. They are keeping a close eye on the level and hoping

:01:34.:01:37.

things are going to subside quite quickly.

:01:38.:01:38.

the River Tywi broke its banks, and fire crews were called to five

:01:39.:01:42.

flooded homes in Tremadog in Gwynedd early this morning.

:01:43.:01:44.

Natural Resources Wales say the situation is improving,

:01:45.:01:46.

but another band of heavy rain is expected to affect

:01:47.:01:49.

With the land already saturated and river levels already rising,

:01:50.:01:56.

they say the chance of further flooding is high.

:01:57.:02:00.

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales has questioned

:02:01.:02:02.

whether a government review into use of guns by police

:02:03.:02:05.

The review has been ordered by the Prime Minister

:02:06.:02:09.

following the Paris attacks to examine whether the law gives

:02:10.:02:12.

enough support to officers making a split second decision to shoot.

:02:13.:02:16.

During the Nato summit this sight was commonplace in Cardiff,

:02:17.:02:26.

but would they have hesitated if they'd had to fire?

:02:27.:02:29.

After senior police raised concerns that officers have neither the legal

:02:30.:02:32.

or political backing to work with confidence,

:02:33.:02:34.

the Prime Minister has ordered a review.

:02:35.:02:39.

But the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales,

:02:40.:02:41.

Alun Michael, has questioned whether such a move is necessary.

:02:42.:02:45.

How far the public here would support any change

:02:46.:03:22.

Earlier this year a survey asking people in the Dyfed Powys police

:03:23.:03:31.

A legal expert said it is right to hold a review. What is important is

:03:32.:03:39.

the enquiry process after a police shooting by the police. These can

:03:40.:03:44.

take far too long. We have had cases which have been five to ten years

:03:45.:03:51.

down the line. There are currently around 6000 officers trained to use

:03:52.:03:58.

guns. And now how they operate will be put under the microscope, there

:03:59.:04:01.

will be plans to increase their numbers significantly.

:04:02.:04:03.

An appeal to to help a world champion mountain biker and stunt

:04:04.:04:06.

cyclist who was paralysed in a crash has raised more than ?29,000

:04:07.:04:09.

Martyn Ashton, from Port Talbot, is known worldwide,

:04:10.:04:13.

with close to 30 million views of his online videos.

:04:14.:04:15.

He was urged by fans not to sell a bike to fund

:04:16.:04:20.

His original target was to raise ?7,000.

:04:21.:04:26.

Around 100 children and young people who have a range of disabilities

:04:27.:04:29.

have been taking part in a triathlon.

:04:30.:04:32.

Organisers of the charity event at Cardiff Metropolitan University

:04:33.:04:34.

wanted the participants, who were aged between 3 and 22,

:04:35.:04:43.

to do something they might not have thought possible.

:04:44.:04:45.

Sally Hooper's daughter Imogen was one of those who took part.

:04:46.:04:48.

It's quite nice for her to mix with lots of groups of children.

:04:49.:04:51.

And do something that normal kids do.

:04:52.:04:53.

And, because she's got quite complex needs,

:04:54.:04:55.

so she has physical and learning difficulties, she finds it difficult

:04:56.:04:58.

So this is brilliant, it just gets her out

:04:59.:05:02.

and about and doing three different types of sport that other children

:05:03.:05:05.

Football and managerless Swansea City are entertaining

:05:06.:05:12.

The Swans started the game in the relegation zone,

:05:13.:05:19.

but they had the best of the first hour

:05:20.:05:21.

The match is heading into the closing stages.

:05:22.:05:29.

Before I go, let's take a quick look at the weather.

:05:30.:05:34.

During the night, showers will tend to fade inland,

:05:35.:05:37.

Staying fresh with temperatures dropping into single figures.

:05:38.:05:42.

And into tomorrow, it will be a bright start

:05:43.:05:44.

but turning cloudier later, with a band of heavy rain

:05:45.:05:46.

Highs in the afternoon of around 12 Celsius.

:05:47.:05:51.

I'll be back with our late update at 11:30 tonight.

:05:52.:05:55.
