Two of Wales' police forces need to do more to reduce crime | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
There is scope for improvement. We've been addressing those over the | :00:09. | :00:23. | |
last five months. Some of them have been met. Some in the course of | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
being met. Dyfed Powys has the lowest crime rate in England and | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
Wales, but they could do better. As the Prime Minister negotiates | :00:33. | :00:45. | |
in Brussels what impact is there on the nature | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
of the debate here? I think we should leave the EU | :00:49. | :01:03. | |
because it is more expensive. Let us be a country on a run. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
I think it would be good for us to stay in. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
One in ten new mothers, like Laura Derney, experience | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The study by Welsh scientists to find out why. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
The pressure is all around you. Everyone thinks you're sad. I wasn't | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
sad. I was hollow. And the Duke and Duchess | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
of Cambridge return to Anglesey, as the Royal Air Force officially | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
marks the end of its search Two of Wales' police forces need | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to do more to reduce crime and keep people safe according | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
to the police watchdog. Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
of Constabulary says Dyfed-Powys and North Wales Police | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
require "improvement". However, Gwent and South Wales | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Police were ranked as "good". Abigail Neal is live | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
from Dyfed Powys Police Headquarters tonight, from where she's | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
sent this report. It's one aspect of policing | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
which rarely makes the headlines, not responding to, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
but trying to prevent crime. Work like this earned Gwent | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
police a "good" rating, a skateboarding programme that's | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
reduced anti-social behaviour by almost 20%, keeping youngsters | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
on the right side of the law. There was nothing else to do. You'd | :02:17. | :02:30. | |
go to the park and play football. That's it. Now we have something to | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
look forward to. The youth workers get you in shape | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
so your behaviour changes. In organised crime too, | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
like the widespread fraud scam involving cash for crash Gwent | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
were judged as good, overall the HMIC said they'd made | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
considerable progress But Wales's two rural forces | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
have been told there's HMIC said North Wales police needed | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
to do more to understand emerging threats like human trafficking | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
and that some officers were investigating crimes | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
beyond their level of training including high-risk domestic abuse | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
cases, a criticism challenged today I have the strongest possible | :03:07. | :03:25. | |
rebuttal from the Chief Constable of the way they have gone about this | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
particular aspect of it. The allocation of cases in North Wales, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
I'm quite satisfied, is done on a very solid, sound basis. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Dyfed Powys was told it needs to improve the way it allocates | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
crime for investigation and to better spot the vulnerability | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
The force says it's able to offer a more local service and a new help | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
hub, is increasing support to victims of crime. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Dyfed Powys can still boast the lowest crime rate in England | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Inspectors are more concerned about process. I'm concerned with outcomes | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
and how the public see the police and how safely archived. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Dyfed Powys can still boast the lowest crime rate in England | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
And that's meant closing or merging some police stations and using other | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
methods like these mobile vans to maintain their community presence | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
in the end in the face of tough financial budgets all of this comes | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
down to resources how a force chooses to prioritise them. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
In South Wales, the force is judged good at both the local level | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
understanding the neighbourhoods they police. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Tackling serious criminal drugs gangs by deploying specialist | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
officers, police forces across Wales face very different challenges, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
but the standards they have to meet do not. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
Abi, how important are these inspections? | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
These annual inspections by the independent police watchdog | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
are intended to give the public, who all pay for policing | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
through their taxes, a detailed picture of the state | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
They're judged on three areas, effectiveness i.e. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
How well they prevent and reduce crime, efficiency in terms | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
of the value for money they provide and legitimacy, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
The areas for improvement highlighted for Dyfed Powys | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
and North Wales come under that first area, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
effectiveness, but they are far from alone. | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
Its not about detecting crime. It's not about how many cases are | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
prosecuted. I suspect the public may be interested, but it's not the only | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
measure by which they will be judged. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The proportion of patients spending more than four hours in Welsh A E | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
units increased in January compared with December, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
and was higher than the same time last year. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
According to the Welsh Government, January was the busiest month | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
on record for Emergency departments, with around 10% more cases | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Ministers insist the average time spent in A is just over two hours. | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
Opposition parties say the performance is unacceptable. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
A mother from Swansea was killed by a speeding driver weeks | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
after he completed a speed awareness course. | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Kiran Giri was travelling at least 50 miles an hour in a 30 zone before | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Ms Parker was hit as she crossed the road on Sketty Lane, | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Giri was suspended from driving for two years. | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
Swansea Market was closed for most of the afternoon after a fire. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
The market was evacuated after a small fire started | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
The county council say it's too early to assess the scale | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
of the damage, but the market is expected to reopen | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Your chance to decide whether we leave or remain in the EU | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
could move a step closer in the next few days. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
The Prime Minister is in Brussels tonight where he hopes to agree | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
a deal on changes that would trigger a referendum as early as June. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
The negotiations may be intense, but what impact are they having | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
on the nature of the debate here, and will the result of the talks | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Our political editor Nick Servini has finding out. | :07:14. | :07:26. | |
Welcome to the EU funding capital of Wales, Merthyr Tydfil. This is where | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
the Welsh European funding office is based. It has also had plenty of | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
cash from Brussels. If it was down to EU aid in the near | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
limitless they would be no contest in a referendum. It's not that | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
simple. This time, at times, has had a | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
strained relationship with the EU. A new wave of migrants has caused | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
concern and last year, Ukip launch their General Election campaign in | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Merthyr Tydfil. The way things are going at the | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
moment I think we should leave. They are letting foreign people in and we | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
don't know what we are letting on. We are letting criminals in, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
robbers. Some decent people, but aren't. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
I think we shouldn't have gone in the first place, but if we come out | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
will it affect our economy? I'm sitting on the fence. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
If we was on our own the money in our country would be for us, but | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
when you're in the EU its spread out. I think there's a lot more | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
causes in this country that need to be dealt with. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
I think we have funding from them so it would be good to stay in. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
This man is a Portuguese pub manager who moved to the three years ago | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
after living in Belgium. He thinks the EU should remain in. But he has | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
serious concerns. The UK benefit system, the NHS, they | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
might be a lot of people that come in only for that. I think if people | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
come to work, I think that's a positive thing. If people don't come | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
to work, it's not. For everyone is here, immigrant or not, I think it | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
wouldn't be a good thing. The debate has already been sparked | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
at this engineering company. Many people have already made up their | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
minds, but the man in charge here says he is waiting on the details of | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
the Prime Minister's reforms. If he comes back and says he's got | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
only once, obviously, it's a plus. You analyse what he's got. | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
But what you want? I want to know more about it. | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
I want an improvement on what we've got. Myth is a long way from | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Brussels. But it's in towns and valleys like this with the arguments | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
will be one, or lost, in the months ahead. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Intense negotiations going on in Brussels tonight, | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
are they at the forefront of people's minds here? | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Getting on peoples radar, we need a date in the calendar, and, of | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
course, we could get that in the next few days. When we have a date | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
in the diary it will focus people's minds. Speaking to people in Merthyr | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
today, clearly a lot of the issues will be the same wherever you are in | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
the UK. It was a Welsh dynamic about EU aid on the levels we've had in | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Wales in recent years. It is apparent in a place like Merthyr. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
There are a lot of times like Merthyr in Wales who had a lot of | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
money from Brussels, it provokes challenges for both sites. I don't | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
think it's good enough any more to say, look, we've had loads of money | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
in the past, look what we could lose. They need to prove that it's | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
made a tangible difference to communities. Likewise, on the league | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
side, they've got to prove that the money will still be there, it will | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
just come from different source. will still be there, it will just | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
come from different source. And you can find out more | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
about the EU referendum On tomorrow's programme, | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
how the right kind of exercise can Welsh scientists are trying | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
to find out what causes Around one in ten new mothers | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
will experience problems with their mental health - | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
and while genetics, and even lack of sleep are all regarded | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
as possible reasons no-one can say They'll study tens of thousands | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
of women across the world. As part of the BBC's In the Mind | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
series Caroline Evans Laura began to suffer with | :11:41. | :11:55. | |
depression after giving birth to her first child. The pressure is all | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
around you. Everyone thinks you're sad. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
I wasn't sad. I was hollow. I couldn't feel anything. I knew I | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
loved the kids, because everyone assumes that you don't like your | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
children, my children with the best thing in my life. And then my | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
husband. And the rest of my family. They were all great will stop it was | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
me that was the problem. I couldn't feel. It's estimated that | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
around 3500 women in Wales are affected. Around one in 1000 will | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
experience postpartum psychosis. An extremely serious condition that can | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
lead to hallucinations and delusions. So here at the National | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Centre for mental health in Cardiff they are hoping to find out why | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
women like Laura suffer the way they do. DNA is thought to play a major | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
role, but it is not solely responsible. Here, collaborating | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
with the University of North Carolina, they plan to collect | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
information from towns of thousands of women to investigate why, even | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
where women share the same delight at risk factors, some suffer | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
depression, and others do not. -- genetic risk factors. Something | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
about having a baby triggers these episodes of depressive illness. It | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
could be the big life change, biological change happening in | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal fluctuations, we really want to | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
understand these conditions. We want to understand what those complex | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
interactions are. We want that to lead to better treatment in the | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
future. Last year the Welsh government | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
increased funding in this area by one point ?5 million. -- one 5p. But | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
there are currently no mother and baby treatment centres in Wales, and | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
only two out of seven health boards offer specialist provision in | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
perinatal mental health. Laura says she got the treatment she needed, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
and she feels better now than she has in years. She welcomes the | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
research, which she hopes, could help others like her get through it | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
too. And tomorrow we look at how the | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
right exercise can help your mental health. A leading charity is looking | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
for a transformation in the way we use sports to do with our problems. | :14:31. | :14:31. | |
we use sports to do with our problems. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
What's the best way of helping students with the cost | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
It's likely to be one of the keenest debates in the run up to May's | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
election .At the moment Welsh students get help | :14:42. | :14:42. | |
with paying their tuition fees, which can cost up to ?9000 a year. | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
The Welsh government pays most of that sum through a grant | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
which means students are charged a maximum of just over ?3,800. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Today the Welsh Conservatives said they would scrap the grant | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
if they got into power, and pay around half | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
Our political reporter Bethan Lewis has been taking a look. | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
Taking a break from their studies, students can rack up thousands | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
during their college life. There are fees aid and living costs two. Rent, | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
food and day-to-day spending. The Government hopes but the best way of | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
balancing help for students is a big political issue. The Conservatives | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
say they'd scrap help with tuition fees which only have to be paid back | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
once during more than ?21,000 a year and contribute to the cost of rent | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
instead. The biggest obstacle to students | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
being able to go forward is living costs. That policy will meet the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
need. It is sustainable and can be carried forward. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
It's affordable. Students would get around half of their rent during | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
term time paid for. About ?59 a week on average according to the | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Conservatives. About ?1800 per student per year. That would cost | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
the Welsh government one third of what it pays out at the moment, the | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
party claims. They are not the only ones who think the current system | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
needs to change. Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats would scrap the | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
tuition fee grant to. Plaid Cymru instead would pay off some of the | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
diet of those graduates who ends up working in Wales. The Lib Dems say | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
they would give extra help with living costs. Labour want to stick | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
with these tuition fee subsidy but says it is reviewing student | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
finance. We asked students at the University of South Wales into | :16:37. | :16:37. | |
I know a lot of English students who forest about the options on offer. | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
I know a lot of English students who don't go to university because it's | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
expensive. I think it's helpful having the grounds in Wales. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Money in hand when you're a student, having to live and study at the same | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
time is important. I would say help of the money up | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
front. In my position less tuition fees would be a bonus, but the | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
majority of students live away from home and have monthly rent. For | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
them, a maintenance loan is more important. | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
University bosses say the current system is unsustainable. They will | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
put the evidence during major review which indicates the status quo isn't | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
an option. Changes look like event, but the result of the election will | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
decide how far reaching any changes will be. | :17:24. | :17:23. | |
A family's discovery on a Ceredigion beach, | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
that sailed from America tracked by a satellite signal! | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
I felt like a shot of joy going through me. I was so happy. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have been on Anglesey | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
to say farewell to the RAF's Search and Rescue Force, | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
which is being disbanded after more than three quarters of a century. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
The work is now done by private contractors. | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
For three years the Prince was based on the island at RAF Valley, | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
where he flew missions as a search and rescue pilot. | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
The band plays as the colours were paraded for the last time. With his | :18:06. | :18:24. | |
Sears service and 160 operations under his belt Prince William was | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
there not so much as a royal, but of a member of the RAF family. There is | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
an actual real person at the end of it who needs your help. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
If the BBC helicopter rescue service the Prince gave us a flavour of what | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
the job entails. Some of the hardest frying is in the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
mountains. Because it's quite a small, mountainous area, we can get | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
in and out. We can't be anywhere within a few | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
minutes. Helicopter search and rescue missions have been flown | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
since the mid-19 50s. The RAF's yellow aircraft became a familiar | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
sight. In its final years the search and rescue force was called at more | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
than 34,000 times, rescuing nearly 20 4000 people. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
It brought a string of bravery awards. If you speak to anyone here | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
they will tell you that is a record to be proud of. Yes, Prince | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
William's three years brought its public attention, but the RAF want | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
to stress that there are 75 years to remember. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
It's not about numbers and statistics. If you make a difference | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
to one person's life, every time you go out and conduct a mission. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Everything is equally valid, equally important if you make a difference. | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
It was a chance for old friends to meet up and swap stories at the end | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
of Ynyr for the RAF. I asked about his new ambulance | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
helicopter and how he was finding it. Whether he's enjoying it more, | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
or less, I don't know. What memories were you sharing today? I've taken | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
on the position of winch man with the search and rescue force so I was | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
explaining to him that I'd been given a job. He was quite surprised | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
because I was quite junior at that time. He thinks like progress to | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
quickly! And though a final fly-past. And then the Sea King, | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
closing a chapter for the Royal Air Force. | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
The headlines for much of the past month have been dominated | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
by the gloom which is engulfing the steel industry - | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
with hundreds of jobs going at Tata's operations in South | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
But one company, Liberty Steel, based in Newport, is expanding | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
and says that given the right conditions could create | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
It's been a glimmer of hope in dark days for the steel industry. Liberty | :20:57. | :21:16. | |
reopened in October as it was becoming increasingly clear how much | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
damage was being done to other companies by cheap imports, high | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
energy costs and business rates. You can feel the heat coming off the | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
steel ladders come off the rolling mill and is in the cooling area. It | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
is estimated there is 500 million tonnes more steel in the world, that | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
anyone wants to buy. As companies are closing plan for making workers | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
redundant, what is behind Liberty's expansion? They recently bought | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
another steel company saving 900 jobs. They just trying to purchase | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
Tartar's Scottish sites. They want to see if they can't get a more | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
secure industry supply to recycle steel from scrap creating more jobs. | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
They want to fit these operations together to serve each other. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
We cycling steel, which we intend to do, is viable. -- recycling steel. | :22:17. | :22:30. | |
Experts say it is a bold move, but one that is backed by a plan. | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
They are trying to put together a tight package of the business. It is | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
a very specific way so they don't carry the extra cost, or the extra | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
trouble that some of the old mills have had to deal with. If they can | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
reduce those cost it puts the future on a much firmer footing. | :22:51. | :22:51. | |
Snooker, and Welshman Michael White cruised into the quarter finals | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
The 24-year-old from Neath, who's ranked 17th in the World, | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
beat defending champion John Higgins 4-1. | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
He's the only remaining Welshman in the competition | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
after Mark Williams was knocked out by world number one, | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
A boat made by American school children has been found washed up | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
on a beach thousands of miles away, on the Ceredigion coast. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
Helen Hinks and her family from Talybont, discovered it | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
After crossing the Atlantic, the boat, named the Carolina | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
Dreamer, covered in barnacles, but still floating arrived | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Helen Hinks was walking with her children when her three-year-old son | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
William was so excited, he shouted "It's a boat. | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
So I went to pull it out to get a closer look. | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
After taking a closer look Helen decided to take it home | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
This is when she discovered it had been launched by children | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
at a school in Charleston in South Carolina and had been | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
tracked to just outside Aberystwyth via it's GPS. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
I'm so happy for the children involved. | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
I've had lovely messages from them excited to hear it's | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
The school had followed the Carolina Dreamer | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
It set off from the South Carolina coast in May last year, | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
it first landed on a beach just a week later in Bermuda. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
It was then relaunched and on its way across the Atlantic, | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
around Ireland, and eventually into Cardigan Bay. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
The school lost contact with it around 10 miles to the north | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
Today we spoke to the pupils and teachers on the Internet | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
who were relieved that the dream, or the Carolina Dreamer, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
We were very solemn for about a week. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
I'm really excited someone found the boat. | :24:54. | :25:10. | |
And now we don't have to worry about contacting anymore people. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
And the learning continues, Helen has already taken the boat | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
to her children's' school and with help and parts | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
from their new friends in America they hope to relaunch | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
the Carolina Dreamer back across the Atlantic. | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
It looked funny, if chilly on that beach today. What is in store, | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Derek? Unfortunately, the better | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
weather is not set to last. This mass of cloud over the Atlantic | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
is heading our way bringing Tonight a lot of dry weather, | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
but a few showers here and there. Hail in places and a little | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
snow on high ground. Much of the coast will stay | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
above freezing but inland temperatures will drop as low | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
as minus 3 with a warning of icy patches on untreated surfaces left | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
wet from any showers. Some places bright and most | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
of the country, dry During the day the weather | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
will go downhill. Temperatures reaching 7 to 10 | :26:23. | :26:34. | |
Celsius in Carmarthenshire tomorrow. The wind increasing with a high | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
of 9C in Monmouthshire A little rain in the afternoon | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
with a high of 8 in Chepstow. Tomorrow night turning drier | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
but with a few showers and no frost. Temperatures staying | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
well above freezing. Saturday mild but windy with low | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
cloud, rain and drizzle. Drier to the East and North | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
East of high ground. The rain heaviest on high ground | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
in Mid and North Wales, 60 to 80mm in upland areas | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
with a risk of flooding in places. The rain accompanied by strong | :27:13. | :27:24. | |
to gale force winds. Most of the rain on high ground | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
in North West Wales. The south and east drier for | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
a while but with spots of drizzle. So the next few days turning | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
milder and more unsettled. We'll have a quick update at 8pm, | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
and more after the BBC News at Ten. But for now, from all | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
of us on the programme, | :27:42. | :27:44. |
