:00:10. > :00:11.to Talybont in Gwynedd where residents were left waiting
:00:12. > :00:18.The third time now, you would have thought
:00:19. > :00:20.they would have learned by the second time.
:00:21. > :00:24.How long is it going to take them to learn, you know?
:00:25. > :00:26.Tonight opposition parties accuse the Welsh Government of failing
:00:27. > :00:43.Connor Marshall was murdered in an unprovoked attack.
:00:44. > :00:45.His mother says his killer was already being supervised

:01:07. > :01:09.The long road to Rio's Olympics - our sports correspondent tests out
:01:10. > :01:11.the world class facilities intended for our elite athletes.
:01:12. > :01:14.And Wales was the wettest part of the UK last month,
:01:15. > :01:22.so what are the prospects for the rest of January?
:01:23. > :01:26.They were expecting him last week, but today the First Minister finally
:01:27. > :01:29.met flood victims in Talybont in Gwynedd, after they were flooded
:01:30. > :01:34.Some residents were frustrated Carwyn Jones missed them
:01:35. > :01:36.off his previous tour of flood-hit areas.
:01:37. > :01:38.He announced an extra ?2.3 million of funding for communities
:01:39. > :01:44.This is the Welsh share of a similar funding announcement
:01:45. > :01:57.They are drying out in Talybont now, the First Minister could see that.
:01:58. > :02:00.He could also probably detect the strength of feeling here.
:02:01. > :02:01.Through the front doors, through the back doors,
:02:02. > :02:05.meeting in the middle, try and save what you can by rushing
:02:06. > :02:16.Unless something is done, it will happen again.
:02:17. > :02:20.Villagers thought they would be meeting the First Minister last week
:02:21. > :02:22.but there was a mix-up and he did not arrive.
:02:23. > :02:25.This is a community which believes it has been let down.
:02:26. > :02:31.A scheme to help remains on the drawing board and that has
:02:32. > :02:36.Plaid Cymru politicians blaming a Labour Welsh Government,
:02:37. > :02:38.the Welsh Government dishing it back by return.
:02:39. > :02:41.Over the last week, what happened here in Talybont has turned
:02:42. > :02:44.into a political row, but then this is an election year
:02:45. > :02:47.and political parties are keen to score points off each other
:02:48. > :02:49.but for the people of Talybont, what is more important
:02:50. > :02:52.is that the problems which caused the flooding gets sorted out.
:02:53. > :02:55.Last week we spoke to Eirlys Evans, as she attempted to deal
:02:56. > :02:57.with the latest flood to sweep into her home.
:02:58. > :03:01.Pictures recorded by visitors show the force of the water as it ripped
:03:02. > :03:05.Today, Eirlys Evans was among those to tackle Carwyn Jones
:03:06. > :03:15.We need a flood defence now because if it rains,
:03:16. > :03:18.we are going to be petrified here again.
:03:19. > :03:20.It only takes about 35-40 minutes for the water to come
:03:21. > :03:32.You would have thought they would have learnt
:03:33. > :03:38.How long is it going to take them to learn?
:03:39. > :03:41.Talybont's problems are bound up with a wider issue,
:03:42. > :03:43.flooding on the nearby A55, North Wales' main road artery.
:03:44. > :03:45.This picture shows what it was like on Boxing Day,
:03:46. > :03:54.A planned flood scheme would stop this and the flooding
:03:55. > :03:57.Today the First Minister said there was no reason
:03:58. > :04:01.The issue was getting the easements overland that were required to take
:04:02. > :04:03.a pipe through the land, as I understand it,
:04:04. > :04:09.That has been resolved, so there is no reason now widely
:04:10. > :04:12.Everybody in this village wants to see it.
:04:13. > :04:15.The money is there, Gwynedd are keen to move forward with it.
:04:16. > :04:21.He seems to think there was no problem with the money.
:04:22. > :04:24.If that is the case, and he is true to his word,
:04:25. > :04:27.there is no reason why we cannot go out to tender within a month
:04:28. > :04:29.and complete the work before next winter.
:04:30. > :04:33.In Talybont, they said they wanted to make the most of
:04:34. > :04:37.They wanted him to see first-hand what had happened and that seems
:04:38. > :04:53.Roger is still in Talybont for us tonight. Yes, if there was any
:04:54. > :04:59.lingering resentment following the First Minister 's resent -- failure
:05:00. > :05:07.to turn up last week, there was no sign of it today. It was all down to
:05:08. > :05:11.a misunderstanding. It was the same situation across Wales. The numbers
:05:12. > :05:15.in Wales are relatively small compared to the north of England but
:05:16. > :05:21.every single one of those affected will have had a dreadful Christmas
:05:22. > :05:23.and New Year. Here in Talybont, it has happened before and they know
:05:24. > :05:32.about the months of misery ahead of them as they tried to put back their
:05:33. > :05:38.homes, put back their lives. As for the A55, work is due to start next
:05:39. > :05:41.year on another bit of the road a few miles to the east of here. There
:05:42. > :05:43.are plenty of people in this part of Wales tonight who will tell you that
:05:44. > :05:46.work should now be brought forward. Iolo, how unprecedented
:05:47. > :06:03.is the weather we've been getting? You do wonder how much you would
:06:04. > :06:07.have to spend to stop the flooding. It is almost impossible to predict.
:06:08. > :06:12.The government in Westminster and in Cardiff are in a difficult position.
:06:13. > :06:18.Most of the organisations and authorities would have said they
:06:19. > :06:23.have improved a lot as to how they predict and how they react to the
:06:24. > :06:29.prediction. But given the rainfall this year and given the fact it is
:06:30. > :06:43.so much higher, 217% higher, that is excessively high. Capel Curig was
:06:44. > :06:51.among the highest. We have had highly temperatures. All that makes
:06:52. > :06:57.it much harder for the authorities. Let's talk about the money and how
:06:58. > :07:03.much has been spent. The Welsh Government since 2011 have spent
:07:04. > :07:08.?300 million. That is roughly ?50 million on average per year. They
:07:09. > :07:11.have actually topped it up several times because of the unusual
:07:12. > :07:16.circumstances in many of those years. That is ?300 million which
:07:17. > :07:20.includes European funding and another allocation was made today by
:07:21. > :07:29.Carwyn Jones in Talybont when he was visiting. ?2.3 million and that is
:07:30. > :07:31.after the consequential formula because of what David Cameron
:07:32. > :07:37.announced in December. That is the slice of money for Wales. On that
:07:38. > :07:43.A55, that part of the road actually flooded three years ago. That is why
:07:44. > :07:48.a lot of the locals are asking the question, what has changed? How have
:07:49. > :07:57.the other political parties reacted to Carwyn Jones' visit? There are
:07:58. > :08:01.political responses. The Liberal Democrats say that the Welsh
:08:02. > :08:05.Government are neglecting land management. Where water is allowed
:08:06. > :08:11.to flow during flooding. The Conservatives would argue, a lot
:08:12. > :08:15.more should be done in terms of not allowing any more new houses to be
:08:16. > :08:22.built on flood plains. Plaid Cymru, which runs the council, says there
:08:23. > :08:25.must be a more proactive and preventative approach taken by the
:08:26. > :08:29.government. All these points I put to the government and also to
:08:30. > :08:33.Natural Resources Wales and Natural Resources Wales came out with some
:08:34. > :08:38.interesting scissors edicts. 900 applications last year, 96% of
:08:39. > :08:46.those, they say, does look at flood risk. The gunmen says flooding is a
:08:47. > :08:52.key priority. They are looking to protect homes and infrastructure but
:08:53. > :09:01.the bottom line is, there is no legal obligation to protect every
:09:02. > :09:04.home -- the government. Now the rest of the day 's news.
:09:05. > :09:06.The mother of a teenager, who died after an unprovoked attack,
:09:07. > :09:09.says her son's killer was a time-bomb waiting to go off.
:09:10. > :09:11.18-year-old Connor Marshall was murdered in Porthcawl last year,
:09:12. > :09:14.but the man who murdered him, was already being supervised
:09:15. > :09:15.by probation workers for previous offences.
:09:16. > :09:18.Nadine Marshall claims her son would still be alive if that had
:09:19. > :09:21.been done properly, but officials say nothing could have been done
:09:22. > :09:28.Connor Marshall was a lively, likeable teenager, just
:09:29. > :09:33.But last year on a trip to Porthcawl 's Trecco Bay,
:09:34. > :09:34.he was murdered in an unprovoked attack.
:09:35. > :09:40.His family was to learn later it was a case of mistaken identity.
:09:41. > :09:43.He was attacked in Porthcawl on March the 8th, which is my
:09:44. > :09:47.We then spent four horrible days in hospital with the two children,
:09:48. > :09:53.having to look at somebody that did not resemble Connor at all.
:09:54. > :09:56.In June last year, his killer, David Braddon, was sentenced to life
:09:57. > :10:05.The court heard that David Braddon was subject to a supervision order
:10:06. > :10:07.for two previous drug offences and assaulting a police officer.
:10:08. > :10:10.A review of the way he had been supervised was ordered
:10:11. > :10:12.and the family has seen a summary of that report,
:10:13. > :10:15.which says they could have adopted a more targeted and proactive
:10:16. > :10:27.approach in trying to engage him and reassess and manage his risk.
:10:28. > :10:31.It is just a gutting feeling to know already that is the mistakes that
:10:32. > :10:33.have happened could have prevented what happened to Connor and it
:10:34. > :10:35.would mean my family is as it should be.
:10:36. > :10:46.Do you really feel that the mistakes were so serious that this murder
:10:47. > :10:57.But the Ministry of Justice say nothing could have been done
:10:58. > :10:59.to predict or prevent Connor's killing.
:11:00. > :11:02.And no one could have foreseen that David Braddon would go on to commit
:11:03. > :11:06.They go on to say serious further offences are rare but each one
:11:07. > :11:08.is taken extremely seriously and investigated fully.
:11:09. > :11:10.They add that public protection is our priority and we continue
:11:11. > :11:14.to consider the findings in this case.
:11:15. > :11:15.But Connor's mother is not satisfied.
:11:16. > :11:22.She has started an online petition, demanding access to the full report.
:11:23. > :11:26.He had escalated in the violence, he had escalated in the number
:11:27. > :11:28.of offences, he had escalated in his ability to abscond.
:11:29. > :11:30.David Braddon was a time bomb waiting to explode.
:11:31. > :11:41.Memories of happier times cover the wall of the Marshall home.
:11:42. > :11:43.And for mum Nadine, Connor will always be close by,
:11:44. > :11:55.So it is basically some of Connor 's Ashes used and then they turn it
:11:56. > :11:59.to glass and put it into a ring and a where it next to the ring
:12:00. > :12:04.Ten months after Connor's murder, his family are still struggling
:12:05. > :12:11.to come to terms with the manner of his death.
:12:12. > :12:13.To see your children hurting is the biggest, most painful thing
:12:14. > :12:24.But in equal measures, we are angry to know that this
:12:25. > :12:33.A baby born by emergency Caesarean section, after his mother
:12:34. > :12:35.was involved in a car crash, has died.
:12:36. > :12:38.The boy's father, Simon Lewis, died in the crash in Cardiff,
:12:39. > :12:41.His wife and their three-year-old daughter were passengers.
:12:42. > :12:43.The baby was born three months prematurely on Sunday,
:12:44. > :12:57.Two more arrests have been made in connection with the fire
:12:58. > :12:59.which gutted a primary school in Cwmbran.
:13:00. > :13:02.Two men, aged 18 and 21, have been arrested on suspicion
:13:03. > :13:05.of arson after the blaze at Coed Eva Primary in the early
:13:06. > :13:08.Four teenage boys have also been arrested and released on bail.
:13:09. > :13:19.The school is closed until next week at the earliest.
:13:20. > :13:22.Police have been continuing house to house inquiries in Prestatyn
:13:23. > :13:23.after a man was stabbed yesterday afternoon.
:13:24. > :13:25.The 24-year-old remains in a critical but stable
:13:26. > :13:29.Police have been searching the areas of Lon Ceiriog and Lon Brynli
:13:30. > :13:33.An inquest has heard of a father's desperate attempts
:13:34. > :13:36.to save his six-year-old daughter after she choked on a grape.
:13:37. > :13:38.Jasmine Lapsley died in August 2014 whilst on holiday in Gwynedd.
:13:39. > :13:44.Her parents say the 25 minute wait for an ambulance was far too long.
:13:45. > :13:47.It was a family holiday on the Gwynedd coast.
:13:48. > :13:51.Jasmine Lapsley, her two brothers, parents, grandmother
:13:52. > :13:54.and step-grandfather had travelled from Liverpool to stay in a house

:14:07. > :14:13.Her father Robert told the inquest that he grabbed her and began

:14:16. > :14:18.He took her outside and neighbours, an off duty police officer
:14:19. > :14:20.and paramedic trainer, began to perform CPR on her.
:14:21. > :14:23.Her lips turned blue and she vomited.
:14:24. > :14:26.As the family waited for the paramedics a passing fire

:14:35. > :14:36.Medically trained first responders seemed shellshocked and panicked

:14:43. > :14:44.Jasmine was airlifted to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor

:14:47. > :14:52.Her mother Kathleen described her feelings at the hospital,
:14:53. > :14:57.saying just a couple of hours had passed from the family
:14:58. > :15:03.being in the sunshine on holiday to seeing Jasmine choke
:15:04. > :15:12.The inquest is expected to last for up to six days.

:16:02. > :16:09.in her right eye and had very limited vision in her left.
:16:10. > :16:12.It is a bit like if somebody is putting a dimmer switch off
:16:13. > :16:17.And the dimmer switch is going lower and lower and the light
:16:18. > :16:22.It has been maybe eight years since I had any idea
:16:23. > :16:25.what my children looked like and I certainly don't
:16:26. > :16:31.The 49-year-old has had a pioneering operation at a hospital in Oxford,
:16:32. > :16:32.the first of its kind outside Germany.
:16:33. > :16:35.It is currently being trialled here in the UK but the results
:16:36. > :16:37.for patients can make the biggest difference to even
:16:38. > :17:05.Honest to God, it felt like Christmas Day.
:17:06. > :17:07.The operation is difficult and delicate and takes
:17:08. > :17:13.The retinal implant, a three millimetre squared
:17:14. > :17:20.electronic chip with light sensors, is placed at the back of the eye.
:17:21. > :17:23.Those sensors send signals to the optic nerve and the brain.
:17:24. > :17:26.At first, the patient can only see flashes of light but with time,

:17:30. > :17:32.Rhian's sight is limited to outlines at it is still huge progress
:17:33. > :17:34.and the surgeons who are watching her recovery with interest say
:17:35. > :17:44.A mixture of relief and disbelief, really.
:17:45. > :17:46.We are able to give her some vision back.
:17:47. > :17:49.If the results continue to be as promising as they have been
:17:50. > :17:52.so far, then it is likely that in the future, this device may be
:17:53. > :18:02.The implant should last around five years.
:18:03. > :18:05.It has already given Rhian some precious sight back and plenty
:18:06. > :18:13.of confidence to go out and rediscover the world around her.

:18:39. > :18:46.Plaid Cymru says faster diagnosis is crucial.
:18:47. > :18:54.We want to make the inroad in the diagnosis so that we can have
:18:55. > :18:57.early diagnosis and that can mean of course that a person is told
:18:58. > :19:00.that they don't have cancer, as well is told that they do have cancer.
:19:01. > :19:03.And when you have the diagnosis early, all the evidence shows
:19:04. > :19:09.that the ability to survive your cancer, live with your cancer,

:21:10. > :21:12.A unit that's been revamped to make sure the best science,
:21:13. > :21:14.medical and rehab practitioners work alongside athletes
:21:15. > :21:34.Elite athletes working in an elite high-performance unit.
:21:35. > :21:37.But the journey towards the Rio Olympics is well under way
:21:38. > :21:42.with Welsh athletes thriving in an elite environment.
:21:43. > :21:44.You mainly see the strength and conditioning area
:21:45. > :21:46.but the physios, the doctors, the masseurs, the physiologists,
:21:47. > :21:51.The main difference is everybody is working in the same room,
:21:52. > :21:55.working towards the main goal of a medal.
:21:56. > :22:00.The key concept with this restructure at the Sport Wales
:22:01. > :22:03.headquarters is that the science, medical and rehab practitioners
:22:04. > :22:05.are brought into one area, which enables them to work alongside
:22:06. > :22:15.I have only been using all of the facilities since June, July,
:22:16. > :22:18.and just in the past six months, I have noticed a big
:22:19. > :22:20.difference in my performance, just how I approach training
:22:21. > :22:22.and competitions and I can see by the results, I have
:22:23. > :22:28.Slowly speed it up and get you running faster and faster
:22:29. > :22:36.So, how would a regular sports journalist deal with the strains
:22:37. > :22:39.You are currently using 50 millilitres of oxygen
:22:40. > :22:52.Wow, just a couple of minutes on this and I am shattered.
:22:53. > :22:54.It is about how much oxygen your body can use.
:22:55. > :22:58.With our elite guys, it is nearer towards the 90
:22:59. > :23:04.Yes, I was way off the fitness levels of Dewi Griffiths,
:23:05. > :23:06.the long-distance runner from Carmarthenshire,
:23:07. > :23:09.just one of the athlete is hoping to profit from the elite facility.
:23:10. > :23:13.It just helps to try and get the extra 1% at the end of the race.
:23:14. > :23:16.When you look up the difference between a medal and not getting
:23:17. > :23:17.a medal, there is nothing between them.
:23:18. > :23:21.Anything I can do and anything that can help me in my training or get me

:23:27. > :23:31.It measures the concentration of lactate in the blood.
:23:32. > :23:33.Keeping lactate levels constant allows an athlete to continue

:23:36. > :23:46.The information vital in the development of athletes.
:23:47. > :23:49.British sport is regarded as one of the world's best now in Olympic
:23:50. > :23:52.And British sport is full of practitioners that
:23:53. > :23:56.The difference now is a lot of them are staying in Wales.
:23:57. > :23:59.They don't see the need to go to the British governing
:24:00. > :24:04.The equipment we are using is used by British athletics
:24:05. > :24:07.and across the world and other countries as well.
:24:08. > :24:13.Yes, comparable to the rest of the world.
:24:14. > :24:17.The next step for Dewi is reaching the Rio Olympics, a dream shared
:24:18. > :24:24.by many Welsh athletes, as the summer games get ever closer.
:24:25. > :24:26.Derek's here now with the weather forecast.
:24:27. > :24:34.After all the rain, better news to come hopefully, Derek?
:24:35. > :24:39.Better news for tomorrow. But make the most of the dry weather. We know
:24:40. > :24:44.that December was the warmest and wettest since records began but
:24:45. > :24:54.Wales was also the wettest part of the UK. 359 millimetres, over a foot
:24:55. > :24:59.of rain, fell. December also the wettest month on record. But
:25:00. > :25:07.annually, we have had wetter years. At the moment, 2000 the wettest on
:25:08. > :25:12.record. Looking ahead, there is more rain and showers on the way. But

:25:34. > :25:39.will ease. Still a few showers about overnight. Heavy in places.
:25:40. > :25:45.Otherwise, becoming dry. Cold enough for a slight frost. A few mist and
:25:46. > :25:51.fog patches forming. Temperatures in Ceredigion could dip as low as minus
:25:52. > :25:55.one Celsius. The jet stream has shifted further south. The jet
:25:56. > :26:01.stream tomorrow will push another frontal system in from the Atlantic.
:26:02. > :26:08.Ahead of that, some dry weather. Here is the picture for 8am. Chilean

:26:15. > :26:19.but not everywhere. The wind light. During the day tomorrow, the mist
:26:20. > :26:24.and fog patches will slowly lift. A lot of try whether for a change
:26:25. > :26:29.tomorrow. However, it looks like rain will reach Pembrokeshire around
:26:30. > :26:34.5pm. Accompanied by a freshening south-easterly wind. Temperatures

:27:10. > :27:13.weekend very mixed. More rain and showers but there should be some dry
:27:14. > :27:18.around brighter spells as well. Next week, signs of a cold snap on the
:27:19. > :27:20.way. Drier and more settled at least for a while.
:27:21. > :27:25.The First Minister announced an extra ?2.3 million for funding
