Welcome to Wales Today - our top story: Empty stations - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
up to 100,000 passengers left in the lurch. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Arriva train drivers strike brings the network across the country | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
I left the house at 7:30am to hopefully start work at 10am but we | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
still might be late. With services not returning | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
to normal until midnight, there could still be disruption | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
for passengers tomorrow. The fire that burnt out this school | :00:33. | :00:48. | |
in Cwmbran - the four teenage boys Dorina's performance | :00:49. | :00:53. | |

have been coping with the extreme weather and what is causing it. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Staff at Arriva Trains Wales are staging a 24 hour walk out, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
causing travel chaos on the first day back to work after | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Up to 100,000 passengers have been affected - | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
as more than a thousand services across the country are cancelled. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Live to Cardiff Central Station and our reporter Nick Palit. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
This station is probably the busiest in Wales | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
at rush hour but this morning like now it was all but deserted - | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
all the services running on the Valley Lines down | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
to the capital cancelled causing widespread disruption | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
for tens of thousands of commuters right across Wales. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Monday morning rush hour and Wrexham real station was deserted. It is a | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
similar station up and down the country where Arriva usually run | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
trains. With services affected across Wales at 247 stations, | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
passengers had to find other ways of getting to work. On this rainy first | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
day back after the festive break, the rotor appointed me busy anyway. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
The traffic swelled by many who would normally let the train take | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the strain. Both unions voted to strike. The dispute is over | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
reductions of working hours and structures of shifts. | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
We don't see why things should be different in Wales. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Arriva say they have been in contact with unions on a daily basis to try | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
and avert this strike. We have got more talks on tomorrow | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
and we are happy to discuss conditions cause we value their | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
welfare. Buses were left to fill the gap but | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
many find it was a slower method of transport. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
I left the house at 7:30am to hopefully start work at 10am. But we | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
still make the late. Two and a half hours. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
The bus was packed out. We could have done with another bus. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
I'm going to be late for work and when I got on the bus they did not | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
take change so I had to get change. Finally getting on the bus. | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
With trains not running, many companies so staff members depleted. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
It took me an extra 45 minutes to get in and a number of my colleagues | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
have been delayed. One left at 6:15am to make sure she could get | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
into the office. The impact is if people are not available for | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
client's business then we lose money. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
So it is quite serious. The piece I'd of this dispute has been settled | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
but the unions in management of trying to push through changes to | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
terms and conditions. Arriva say they are disappointed and put a | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
renewed proposal to the unions just before Christmas. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
This dispute is due to end at midnight tonight but Arriva | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
is advising passengers that some very early morning trains tomorrow | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
could also be affected as they try to get services | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
You can get up to date information about any further disruption | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to services tomorrow on BBC Radio Wales, | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
The families of two teenage friends who were killed in a car crash | :05:28. | :05:40. | |
in Hengoed last night say they'll be sorely missed. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
his smile would light up any room -- while 17 year old Connor Williams' | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Another 18 year old, Cameron Nicholas, is in hospital | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Their former teacher says they were both popular students. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
They were both very decent, pleasant, friendly, happy boys. We | :05:58. | :06:11. | |
were very proud of them. They were all there is very happy and had a | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
great sense of humour. They will be a terrible loss. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Gwent police say the four people arrested | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
following a fire at Coed Eva Primary school in Cwmbran | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
are teenage boys from the local area. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
A fifteen year old and three fourteen year olds have been | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
arrested on suspicion of arson and released on police bail. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
Demolition contractors inspected the site today | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
and although the school is aiming to reopen next week, | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
it could take two years for the site to be fully restored. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Coed Eva should have been welcoming pupils back through its gates today. | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
Instead the school is empty the infant classes gutted | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
by a blaze that happened in the early hours of new years day. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
The steel frame - a cruel reminder of a building that was ready | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
to welcome back two hundred children. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
The only people in the playground today - demolition contractors. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Police say four teenagers from Cwmbran not much older | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
than those due to return to the school have been arrested | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
on suspicion of arson and released on bail. | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
We have made the decision to close the school this week. I understand | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
forensics have completed their inspection. We are looking to work | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
towards opening on Monday. We will do the best we can. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
This is the fire - filmed by eyewitnesses - | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
crews fought for three hours to save the junior school next door. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
The infants' school burned down in less than twenty minutes. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Today the school's senior teachers met here | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
a council official said the preferred option is to keep | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
all the children together in the existing buildings. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
But there is the option of sending the children elsewhere. | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
How soon pupils return to Coed Eva partially depends on the weather, | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
as contractors need dry weather to install temporary classrooms. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Parents will have to find alternative child-care. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
It's hoped the classrooms will be installed within two weeks. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
And the power supply returned to the junior school. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Until then, pupils at Coed Eva, will have to continue their 2016 | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Patients are being asked to avoid the emergency departments | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
at Morriston Hospital in Swansea and the Princess of Wales Hospital | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board says | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
both sites are extremely busy and experiencing | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
They're asking people consult their GPs before | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Councillors in Carmarthenshire have agreed to withdraw some community | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
education courses for adults because of budget cuts. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
The executive board has agreed to focus on courses such as adult | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
basic education and English classes for speakers of other languages. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Classes for art and crafts are among those which will be withdrawn. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
The new Aberavon Leisure and Fitness Centre has opened | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
The new facility - which cost 13 million pounds - | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
includes a swimming pool, gym and sports hall. | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
The Afan Lido was destroyed in a fire seven years ago | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
They help vulnerable people with the most basic of daily tasks - | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
getting dressed, having a shower, or something to eat. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
But too often there have been examples of home | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
Now an innovative scheme in Monmouthshire has won the praise | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
of the Older People's Commissioner - for improving the working lives | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
of staff and transforming the service they provide. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Paul Heaney has this exclusive report. | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
Brightening the mood at daycare centre in Abergavenny. 94-year-old | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
arena gives up her time as part of a council run scheme linking | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
volunteers with those at risk of becoming isolated and unwell. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
We need this sort of thing for the elderly population. To keep them in | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
view and make them feel that they are still wanted. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
The council increasingly looks for people to support their neighbours | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
instead of relying solely on its Keir Starmer. -- care staff. | :10:20. | :10:32. | |
Before a new way of working was brought in, a manager with the site | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
how much time people would be a route -- allowed to spend. Less help | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
means fewer hours and that means less he because they are paid by the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
hour. That means there is little incentive to support people to live | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
independently. Rules were rules and you just | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
couldn't. If it was not on the care plan, we couldn't do anything extra. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Now they are in charge of their own hours. He salary instead of hourly | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
pay. They've told me about the remarkable difference that has made. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
I used to feel like a nobody. Since working on the project, I feel like | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
a somebody. I feel like I have been promoted. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Because we have the continuity now, I think it stops people going into | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
hospital, because we stop things like water infections. We can get | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
touch with the doctors. In the past, clients of different | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
caterers. Now it is a dedicated team rather than strangers coming into | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the home. I had the lady is nice and chatty? | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
Yes, they are very familiar. We know everybody on the team. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
And it is the same people you have seen? | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
Yes, thank goodness. Local authorities are under | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
financial measure but if they can make it work then so should other | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
communities in Wales. Not everywhere follows the same | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
tune. Good care prevails elsewhere despite the system. Success here is | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
only possible as part of volunteers supporting people's | :12:54. | :17:40. | |

of Glamorgan. They wouldn't allow us on to | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
Glamorgan Street. When we got to the cross, they would not allow us to go | :17:59. | :18:11. | |
any further. We got up the back way and then it was just like daylight | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
looking down. Everybody was looking down on Cardiff. | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
Joyce Lloyd's grandmother survived. She remembers her shock when she saw | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
what had happened. When you walked down somewhere and | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
see if there every day and the next year ago and there is nothing there. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
Just everywhere is damaged. Just rubble was left. It was very | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
strange. The damage to the cathedral was | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
extensive. The blast was so amazing that it | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
literally lifted the roof off and it dropped into the building and blew | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
the windows out. The level of destruction was quite colossal. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
The building was carefully restored and a garden of remembrance now | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
stands with a bomb fell. A memorial to the night they changed so many | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
lives for ever. Wales is being urged | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
to reclaim Roald Dahl He was born in Cardiff in 1916, | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
and went on to become one of the world's best-selling | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
children's writers. Celebrations described as 'epic' | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
are planned throughout the year to celebrate his life as our Arts | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
and Media Correspondent, Roald Dahl wrote some of the best | :19:32. | :19:47. | |
loved books for children. He had been turned into musicals and there | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
will be a film of the BFG later this year. In 2016, some of Wales' Beck | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
arts companies are coming together for a huge celebration. | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
How could we not celebrate the centenary of one of Cardiff's Themis | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
sons? He is probably quite under rebel edged -- it is almost a chance | :20:15. | :20:30. | |
to reclaim him as one of our own. The celebrations for his centenary | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
will spread across the city. There will be events at the church that he | :20:35. | :20:46. | |
and his family used to visit. And the streets he knew would be | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
transformed by an Australian theatre director whose previous work | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
includes the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony. It will be full of | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
surprises. Nothing is as you expected. | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
Characters chasing through the city, huge pieces of fruit roll down. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
I think she felt a fair she never felt before. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Matilda is under discussion at this book club and Robbie at the heart of | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
the celebrations. I think he is creative and his | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
characters, their personalities are different. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
It is good to be an exciting year for Roald Dahl fans. For some it may | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
be the chance to find a quiet corner and read a good book. | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
Let's get tonight's Sport now, here's Iwan. | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
The opening weekend of 2016 brought mixed fortunes for | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
And after losing to Manchester United, Swansea City's search | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
for a new manager goes on with little sign of an imminent | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Since taking over as caretaker manager, | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
Alan Curtis has guided his side to 5 points in 5 games. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Reports suggest he could stay in the job until the end | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
The New Year but no sign of a new manager just yet. Swansea City are | :22:15. | :22:25. | |
entering a fourth week without a permanent boss. Some fans want | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
clarity over the position. I think they need some clarity as to | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
who is going to continue to the end of the season then hopefully push on | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
from there. I think they would have more | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
confidence with a permanent manager. I think they have got respect for | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Alan Curtis because he has been there 40 years. | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Swansea are seemingly in no rush to appoint a manager and the directors | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
could wait until the summer when a big pool of potential applicants | :23:02. | :23:12. | |
could take over. Alan Curtis so his side lose at Manchester United over | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
the weekend. He has taken five points from five games in charge, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
leaving Swansea two points above the relegation zone. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Elsewhere, Cardiff started the New Year without their striker Ken Wynne | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
Jones. He is expected to move on. Joe Mason overtook Jones as the top | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
scorer at the club with the school. Kids John Sheridan believing | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
already? Some bookmakers have suspended betting on him becoming | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Notts County manager. Newport say they have not been approached and | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
are mystified by speculation. The Lakeside Country Club | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
in Frimley Green is once again the venue for the BDO | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
World Darts Championships. Cardiff's Dean Reynolds was knocked | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
out of the tournament by Number One seed Glen Durrant over the weekend, | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
losing 3 sets to nil. Tonight, 10th seed Martin Phillips | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
from Dolgellau is up against two time champion Ted Hankey | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
in the last 32. The former Wrexham, | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
Swansea and Wales defender John Roberts has died | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
at the age of 69. He was part of arguably Wrexham's | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
greatest ever team that won Tributes have also been paid | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
to a four times Welsh Winter Olympian who died yesterday | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
at the age of 68. Malcolm Lloyd from Penllergaer | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
in Swansea - known as 'Gomer' - represented Great Britain at four | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
Olympics in the 1970s and '80s. Derek has already been | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
reporting on the wet weather. We could really do with several | :25:03. | :25:19. | |
days, if not several weeks of dry weather. Wednesday is the driest day | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
this week but otherwise there is more rain. Rain in the form of heavy | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
showers. Five or ten millimetres in places. Tonight, the North is try | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
for a while but showers in the South tomorrow's chart shows more rain and | :25:43. | :26:02. | |
showers. 20 of cloud, more showers, heavy in places, especially in parts | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
of the middle, the North and west and Wales. A few brighter spells | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
mixed in. Temperatures are around average with a late to moderate | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
breeze. Tomorrow, if you mist and fog patches. Wednesday promises to | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
be a better day. Mostly dry bar the odd shower. The wind will pick up | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
with more rain reaching temperature around dusk. We will see another | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
spell of wet weather on Wednesday night. That will clear to sunshine | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
and showers on Thursday, some of the showers heavy. It remains unsettled | :26:54. | :27:06. | |
into the weekend. Temperatures are around average or a little above in | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
the South. It's coming up to seven o'clock, | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
the headlines again. Staff at Arriva Trains Wales | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
are staging a 24 hour walk out. Up to 100,000 passengers | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
have been affected - as more than a thousand services | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
are cancelled across the country. Early morning trains tomorrow | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
could also be disrupted. You can get the latest travel | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
information on BBC Radio Wales, I'll have an update for you here | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
at 8 o'clock and again after the That's Wales Today, | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
