Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories:

:00:00.:00:00.

The most successful Olympics for Welsh athletes ever.

:00:00.:00:08.

Jade Jones wins taekwondo gold for Team GB, becoming the first

:00:09.:00:11.

Welsh competitor to successfully defend an individual Olympic title.

:00:12.:00:16.

I knew I was good enough to come here and win and I would have been

:00:17.:00:21.

disappointed with anything less than gold.

:00:22.:00:24.

Back home in Flint, they were up all night celebrating

:00:25.:00:28.

Hopefully Tokyo is next and we go from there.

:00:29.:00:40.

Welsh athletes are into double figures - 10 medals won so far

:00:41.:00:45.

for Team GB and there could be more to come over the final weekend

:00:46.:00:48.

Calls for compulsory lessons in online safety at school as it's

:00:49.:01:09.

revealed 150 people were reported to police after meeting children

:01:10.:01:13.

The campaign for a 24/7 nationwide helpline to provide support

:01:14.:01:19.

And mountain rescue teams say a big increase in call-outs

:01:20.:01:24.

is stretching the resources of the volunteer organisations.

:01:25.:01:32.

She's the first Welsh athlete to successfully defend an individual

:01:33.:01:37.

Jade Jones is celebrating gold in the taekwondo

:01:38.:01:43.

At just 23, Jade has told us she plans to go for the hat-trick -

:01:44.:01:48.

a third gold medal in Tokyo in four years.

:01:49.:01:52.

Well, hundreds pulled an all-nighter in her home town of Flint

:01:53.:01:55.

Let's head to Rhodri Llywelyn in Rio.

:01:56.:02:00.

The pressure was on coming to Rio - an overseas Games.

:02:01.:02:08.

Fewer competitors than in London four years ago and a record

:02:09.:02:11.

But Welsh athletes have delivered on the biggest stage.

:02:12.:02:17.

Defending her title, Jade Jones beat main rival Gomez

:02:18.:02:30.

of Spain 16-7 in a thrilling final to secure back-to-back

:02:31.:02:34.

I was 6-0 up and then I came off the gas a bit.

:02:35.:02:40.

My coach would have killed me if I'd lost it after that so I thought,

:02:41.:02:43.

one round, go for it with everything you've got and then I had to be

:02:44.:02:47.

It's no secret that Jade Jones had a difficult spell after London 2012.

:02:48.:02:52.

She struggled with motivation and took a short break

:02:53.:02:55.

from taekwondo, but here in Rio, the world number one was back

:02:56.:02:59.

to her best - once again becoming Olympic champion.

:03:00.:03:04.

Jade Jones' gold takes the medal tally for Welsh athletes in Team GB

:03:05.:03:09.

Four golds, six silvers - their most successful Games ever.

:03:10.:03:16.

Jade took up taekwondo when she was eight.

:03:17.:03:19.

Her grandfather took her to her first lesson

:03:20.:03:22.

and spent endless hours driving his granddaughter

:03:23.:03:25.

To do it once is incredible but to be double Olympic champion

:03:26.:03:34.

Jade doesn't do bronze and silvers, it's gold or nothing.

:03:35.:03:41.

Back home in Flint, they are getting ready for a homecoming party.

:03:42.:03:49.

And last night, for those who did not make it to Rio,

:03:50.:03:52.

the celebrations went on well into the night.

:03:53.:03:58.

From fairly early on you could see that she had a lot of promise.

:03:59.:04:10.

She started doing well in tournaments early and she had

:04:11.:04:13.

a lot of support from members of her family who took her all over

:04:14.:04:17.

the place to compete and train and it all

:04:18.:04:19.

It's a sight we've become accustomed to over the last few weeks.

:04:20.:04:30.

Welsh athletes up on the podium on top of the world.

:04:31.:04:35.

By the time she'd received her medal, seen the family,

:04:36.:04:38.

got back to the athletes village, it's safe to say that

:04:39.:04:41.

Jade Jones didn't have too much sleep last night.

:04:42.:04:44.

But I caught up with the double Olympic champion first thing this

:04:45.:04:48.

morning and asked whether it felt any different this time around.

:04:49.:04:53.

I still can't believe it from London, to be honest.

:04:54.:04:57.

I knew I was good enough to come here and win and I would have been

:04:58.:05:04.

disappointed with anything less than gold.

:05:05.:05:07.

But in taekwondo, anything can happen.

:05:08.:05:11.

Until you've got the medal around your neck, nothing is certain.

:05:12.:05:15.

Talk us through the emotions of winning last night.

:05:16.:05:19.

Four years, I have trained so hard, and it has been a long road

:05:20.:05:23.

When you win and you do everything right on the day, it makes that

:05:24.:05:31.

Are you better equipped to deal with it this time around?

:05:32.:05:36.

Last time I was 19, I was young, and it was a big shock.

:05:37.:05:41.

I'm already so pressurerised and world number one,

:05:42.:05:46.

And we are now at the beginning of another four year cycle.

:05:47.:05:53.

Yes, I'm only 23 and I love taekwondo.

:05:54.:05:58.

I love to fight so I will definitely be in Tokyo.

:05:59.:06:03.

We saw you celebrate with the Red Dragon last night.

:06:04.:06:06.

What does it mean to you to represent not only Team

:06:07.:06:11.

I am super proud to be British and I am also super proud to be

:06:12.:06:16.

Welsh so any chance I get, I love to grab the Welsh

:06:17.:06:19.

It just means so much, all the support I get,

:06:20.:06:24.

I couldn't do it without them, especially back home in Flint,

:06:25.:06:29.

I have just seen a video of them all going mad in the pub

:06:30.:06:35.

in Flint and it's so special that they are all behind me.

:06:36.:06:39.

Last time, after your win in London, we saw a leisure centre named

:06:40.:06:42.

after you in Flint, there's a gold postbox as well,

:06:43.:06:47.

Richly deserved. Despite concerns beforehand, the Olympics have gone

:06:48.:07:08.

off without major incident but tonight real concerns surrounding

:07:09.:07:14.

the Paralympic games. They have been twists and turns, bugs involving the

:07:15.:07:19.

Olympics, nothing to compare with what faces the Paralympics, who have

:07:20.:07:23.

announced major budget cuts to the Rio games amid a funding crisis. It

:07:24.:07:29.

means they will be cuts to sporting venues, staffing and transport. Some

:07:30.:07:34.

teams might not get her at all because of a delay in the payment of

:07:35.:07:40.

travel grants. Only 12% of the tickets available have been sold.

:07:41.:07:45.

That is on top of the criticism that organisers have faced for empty

:07:46.:07:49.

seating in the Olympic Games. The IPC president has said that never

:07:50.:07:56.

before in the 56 year history of the games have they faced circumstances

:07:57.:08:01.

like these. At the moment, disability sport Wales have been

:08:02.:08:05.

unable to comment. Thank you very much indeed. Much more from me later

:08:06.:08:08.

in the programme. To the day's other news and children

:08:09.:08:11.

in Wales are already taught online safety at school but the NSPCC

:08:12.:08:14.

is calling for compulsory lessons about the specific dangers of social

:08:15.:08:16.

media and online grooming. It comes after the child protection

:08:17.:08:20.

charity found that more than 150 people were reported to Welsh police

:08:21.:08:23.

forces over the past five years for meeting a child

:08:24.:08:26.

after sexual grooming. More than half of those cases

:08:27.:08:30.

had an online element. 17-year-old Louise,

:08:31.:08:34.

which isn't her real name, was nine when she started

:08:35.:08:40.

using Internet forums where men asked her to share

:08:41.:08:42.

photos of herself online. I felt like, they deserve it

:08:43.:08:47.

because they have spoken to me and they have treated me

:08:48.:08:52.

with respect and they have treated me like I am older than I am

:08:53.:08:55.

so in return they deserve pictures or most of the time it

:08:56.:09:00.

would be go on camera. It was bad and it made me

:09:01.:09:04.

uncomfortable but I did it because they were asking and I felt

:09:05.:09:08.

rude saying no. When her parents found out

:09:09.:09:12.

she was banned from the Internet but started visiting chat

:09:13.:09:15.

rooms again when she That attention, for some

:09:16.:09:18.

reason, hit me in a spot NSPCC Cymru Wales warns that Louise

:09:19.:09:24.

is one of an increasing number of young victims

:09:25.:09:30.

being groomed online. The charity has found that over

:09:31.:09:33.

the past five years, 155 people were recorded in Wales

:09:34.:09:35.

as having met a child Dyfed-Powys Police saw the highest

:09:36.:09:39.

number of cases, 60. There were 35 in the

:09:40.:09:45.

South Wales Police area. And over half of all the cases

:09:46.:09:48.

recorded in Wales since 2011 have Schoolchildren in Wales are already

:09:49.:09:57.

taught elements of online safety but the NSPCC says all children

:09:58.:10:05.

should be given age-appropriate lessons about the specific dangers

:10:06.:10:08.

of social media and online grooming. The real challenge for us all is,

:10:09.:10:13.

can we help young people spot the danger signs, the warning signs,

:10:14.:10:18.

of what might be grooming behaviour so they can stop this risk happening

:10:19.:10:23.

before it manifests The Welsh government says it has

:10:24.:10:27.

an extensive safety programme across Wales and has an online

:10:28.:10:34.

one-stop shop providing help for children to stay

:10:35.:10:39.

safe on the web. Meet Chaos, a bilingual alien

centre in Flintshire. Over the past two years he has

:10:50.:10:54.

helped teach over 16,000 ten and 11-year-olds

:10:55.:10:59.

from across North Wales about how He can give them bits of advice

:11:00.:11:02.

but he asks the children to teach him so he has got

:11:03.:11:08.

Internet safety homework. He asks children to help him

:11:09.:11:12.

with his homework about staying safe online, what they would advise,

:11:13.:11:15.

their settings and their profile and keeping themselves safe

:11:16.:11:19.

online in the process. I was not happy and I did not

:11:20.:11:23.

realise how damaging it was. One man was sent to prison

:11:24.:11:26.

and others were investigated She was not warned of the dangers

:11:27.:11:29.

until it was too late but there are hopes that making

:11:30.:11:35.

children more aware of the risks they face online could help

:11:36.:11:38.

prevent them from going North Wales Police has said it

:11:39.:11:40.

will not be investigating allegations of fraud against UKIP

:11:41.:11:48.

MEP Nathan Gill. The Anti-Fraud Office

:11:49.:11:51.

of the European Union is reviewing the allegations

:11:52.:11:54.

that he misused parliamentary funds. Nathan Gill says the claims

:11:55.:11:57.

are entirely bogus and are part of an ongoing strategy

:11:58.:12:00.

to damage his reputation. An Army bomb disposal team

:12:01.:12:04.

was called to the Intellectual Property Office in Newport this

:12:05.:12:07.

morning after a suspicious package Police say all staff

:12:08.:12:10.

were safely evacuated. Specialist officers have carried out

:12:11.:12:15.

a controlled explosion of the package as a precautionary

:12:16.:12:18.

measure and an investigation A group of young Welsh people

:12:19.:12:20.

who have been homeless are calling for a 24-hour phone line and app

:12:21.:12:28.

to give others in that They say three-quarters of young

:12:29.:12:31.

homeless people don't know At the Swansea homeless project, I

:12:32.:12:56.

met the woman behind a campaign to set up a 20 47 helpline. At the age

:12:57.:13:04.

of 23, her life is on the up but during her teens she experienced

:13:05.:13:08.

some dark and difficult times. After foster care I was put back into way

:13:09.:13:13.

I came from, essentially. At the age of 18. But being put back into the

:13:14.:13:21.

place where I was saved from, it was quite debilitating and detrimental

:13:22.:13:24.

and I went downhill mentally and physically. Moved away from her

:13:25.:13:30.

family again, she settled in Swansea and was placed in a refuge. She told

:13:31.:13:34.

me that often there was not someone to talk to who could relate to

:13:35.:13:38.

experience, which made life much harder. Over time I just got worse

:13:39.:13:45.

and worse, having no one to talk to, and the depression got so bad that

:13:46.:13:49.

the tablets weren't working. I stopped talking to people, I stopped

:13:50.:13:54.

doing anything. I love reading, I love drawing, I stopped doing both

:13:55.:14:00.

of those. I stopped living. Along with a group of young people, they

:14:01.:14:05.

have decided to set up a petition calling for a UK wide helpline which

:14:06.:14:10.

can be accessed on the phone at any time all year round. How do you

:14:11.:14:12.

believe this helpline could help other young people who are

:14:13.:14:17.

experiencing homelessness as you did? The people answering the phones

:14:18.:14:24.

would be people like me who have experienced homelessness, who have

:14:25.:14:28.

empathy and know what we are talking about. We are not just some person

:14:29.:14:34.

who is hired to talk on a phone and rehearsing a script. We are going to

:14:35.:14:37.

help them there and then, where they need to go, what they need to do.

:14:38.:14:45.

The charity Llamau is backing the campaign. It offers support and

:14:46.:14:49.

advice to people facing challenges. It believes a 20 47 helpline --

:14:50.:15:03.

24-7. A really good example of this would be a domestic abuse helpline

:15:04.:15:08.

which runs across the UK. So charities can feed into that and

:15:09.:15:14.

help staff it. Across Wales and the UK, thousands of young people are

:15:15.:15:18.

facing some form of hopelessness -- homelessness but soon it is up there

:15:19.:15:22.

will be a UK wide helpline to help them.

:15:23.:15:29.

These things are murderous, arboreal, tree-climbing

:15:30.:15:32.

They can hunt in the tree tops, they can hunt on the ground.

:15:33.:15:37.

Find out what's got this man so concerned.

:15:38.:15:39.

And batten down the hatches. We're in for some rough weather.

:15:40.:15:42.

Heavy showers and a risk of flooding on parts of the coast.

:15:43.:15:52.

Search and mountain rescue teams across Wales say the number

:15:53.:15:54.

of call-outs in the last 12 months has increased by nearly a third

:15:55.:15:58.

and it's stretching the resources of the volunteer organisations.

:15:59.:16:00.

Research by BBC Wales shows that the team in North East Wales

:16:01.:16:04.

saw the largest rise - an increase of 70%.

:16:05.:16:08.

The beauty of Moel Famau in the Clwydian Range is a draw

:16:09.:16:15.

for walkers all year round but the hills and mountains

:16:16.:16:17.

of this area are proving so popular that the local mountain rescue team

:16:18.:16:21.

It's not just walkers but horse riders and mountain bikers getting

:16:22.:16:26.

The nice weather and the get fit message might be reasons why more

:16:27.:16:32.

and more of us are enjoying the great outdoors.

:16:33.:16:35.

But those increased visitor numbers are putting a strain

:16:36.:16:37.

The North East Wales Search and Rescue Team were called

:16:38.:16:44.

to 70% more incidents in the past 12 months.

:16:45.:16:49.

The Llanberis team saw a 29% rise, and in the Brecon Beacons,

:16:50.:16:53.

The Brecon Mountain Rescue Team trains every week and holds regular

:16:54.:17:04.

special exercises to prepare them, like this one.

:17:05.:17:08.

The most common rescue they are called out to are lower leg

:17:09.:17:11.

injuries, but the huge increase in call-outs is stretching

:17:12.:17:15.

All mountain rescue teams in England and Wales are voluntary organisation

:17:16.:17:20.

staff and our team costs ?40,000 a year to run based on approximately

:17:21.:17:26.

100 calls so as we attend more calls, we will use more medical

:17:27.:17:33.

equipment, more ropes, and they can only be used

:17:34.:17:37.

Martin Bevan has been a volunteer with Brecon Mountain

:17:38.:17:41.

He says the increase in call-outs means they are having to step

:17:42.:17:46.

The extra work is also taking its toll on family life.

:17:47.:17:51.

We train every Wednesday night and the first Sunday of every

:17:52.:17:54.

month but then call-outs could happen at any time.

:17:55.:17:57.

It can be very difficult as a family.

:17:58.:18:00.

It can be quite hard on the children because we can be organising to go

:18:01.:18:03.

swimming and suddenly Dad is not coming with us

:18:04.:18:05.

Mountain rescue teams across Wales accept that accidents happen

:18:06.:18:11.

but they are urging those using the countryside to help

:18:12.:18:14.

themselves by being prepared and having the basic equipment

:18:15.:18:17.

like a map, compass and a phone when they take to the hills.

:18:18.:18:23.

Back to Tomos now, with more from the Olympics.

:18:24.:18:26.

There were celebrations in the waters off Rio last night

:18:27.:18:33.

after Hannah Mills from Dinas Powys was finally awarded the gold medal.

:18:34.:18:37.

Mills won sailing's 470 event with partner Saskia Clark.

:18:38.:18:41.

They knew they'd done enough for gold on Tuesday

:18:42.:18:43.

but they were made to wait and wait to get their hands on that medal.

:18:44.:18:47.

Their final race was delayed by 24 hours because of the weather.

:18:48.:18:53.

A 1,500 metre swim followed a 40 kilometre bike ride,

:18:54.:18:56.

then a 10k run on the streets of Rio - that's what awaits two Welsh

:18:57.:19:01.

women aiming for success in the triathlon in Rio.

:19:02.:19:05.

Both Non Stanford from Swansea and Helen Jenkins from Bridgend

:19:06.:19:09.

are among the favourites and are former world champions.

:19:10.:19:12.

Her preparations then plagued by injury.

:19:13.:19:18.

This is the third time going to the Olympics

:19:19.:19:20.

and they have meant something different every time.

:19:21.:19:23.

"Oh, my god, I'm going to be an Olympian - amazing."

:19:24.:19:27.

London was so focused on trying to achieve the goal,

:19:28.:19:30.

trying to achieve a medal, trying to win.

:19:31.:19:33.

And this time it just feels like a bonus that I'm going.

:19:34.:19:36.

There's a new world champion every year.

:19:37.:19:41.

The Olympics comes around every four years

:19:42.:19:43.

and it is the coming together of all the sports as well.

:19:44.:19:46.

The one chance where all the sports are unified

:19:47.:19:48.

and you all have a shot at the same sort of medal

:19:49.:19:53.

so there is definitely something special about the Olympics

:19:54.:19:55.

and I don't think you can ever top that.

:19:56.:19:59.

Keep an eye out for Seren Bundy-Davies on Sunday.

:20:00.:20:02.

She's a medal contender as part of Team GB's

:20:03.:20:04.

Ahead of their Premier League match against Hull tomorrow,

:20:05.:20:11.

Swansea City's new American owners have revealed they have held talks

:20:12.:20:15.

with the council about expanding the Liberty Stadium.

:20:16.:20:18.

Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien led a consortium which bought

:20:19.:20:22.

a controlling stake of 68% in the Swans in July.

:20:23.:20:26.

The stadium, which is owned by the council, has a capacity

:20:27.:20:28.

of 20,000 - the second smallest in the Premier League.

:20:29.:20:37.

I think there is a real laser focus on having the great fan experience

:20:38.:20:45.

and if we are going to improve the experience, we want to go for more

:20:46.:20:49.

fans, so getting more people in this building. It also helps us in terms

:20:50.:20:55.

of our competitiveness. When other clubs come here, it is a hostile

:20:56.:21:00.

environment. For all those reasons, that is one of the things at the top

:21:01.:21:02.

of our list. The Wales midfielder Emyr Huws

:21:03.:21:04.

hopes his move to Cardiff City can help him forget the disappointment

:21:05.:21:07.

of being left out of The 22-year-old, whose side takes

:21:08.:21:10.

on Fulham tomorrow, is now aiming to secure a regular starting place

:21:11.:21:15.

in the Bluebirds' midfield. Striker Jon Parkin could
