:01:27. > :01:28.celebrates this year's launch, talks continue over who picks up
:01:29. > :01:31.the cost for the damage Cancelling scheduled operations
:01:32. > :01:38.is becoming routine in Welsh hospitals because of overwhelming
:01:39. > :01:42.demand for emergency care. That's according to the Royal
:01:43. > :01:48.College of Surgeons, which warns that the pressures
:01:49. > :01:51.on the NHS in Wales this winter could be as severe as last winter,
:01:52. > :01:54.which was described as one of the most difficult
:01:55. > :01:55.in recent history. But new figures show
:01:56. > :01:57.almost half were cancelled Here's our Health Correspondent,
:01:58. > :02:02.Owain Clarke. When hospitals become full
:02:03. > :02:05.of patients needing emergency care, operations that have been arranged
:02:06. > :02:09.in advance get postponed. It happens all year
:02:10. > :02:11.round, but it's a huge Last winter, according
:02:12. > :02:14.to this leading surgeon, It was as bad as I can
:02:15. > :02:18.ever remember it. Certainly the knock-on effect
:02:19. > :02:20.was there in May I think there were cases
:02:21. > :02:24.where patients were cancelled He's worried the pressures
:02:25. > :02:29.in the coming I think that in the past
:02:30. > :02:33.we used to cancel elective operations just
:02:34. > :02:35.in extremis, when we had particular
:02:36. > :02:38.pressures we had to cancel I think it's become
:02:39. > :02:42.now more the norm that this is the pressure
:02:43. > :02:44.outlet that we have Previously unpublished figures show
:02:45. > :02:49.almost 85,000 planned operations were postponed
:02:50. > :02:54.last year in Wales. 11% of those didn't go ahead
:02:55. > :02:58.for clinical reasons. For example, the patient wasn't
:02:59. > :03:00.well enough for surgery. But 40% were cancelled by the NHS
:03:01. > :03:03.because of problems like no beds being
:03:04. > :03:06.available. Christine Perkins knows
:03:07. > :03:16.that all too well. She's already waited almost two
:03:17. > :03:18.years for surgery to repair a hernia, but it
:03:19. > :03:21.keeps getting delayed. I can hardly walk with it,
:03:22. > :03:24.because it's so big now. I've had three pre-ops, hoping then
:03:25. > :03:27.that I'd have the operation But no date arranged
:03:28. > :03:35.then for the operation. The Welsh Government says
:03:36. > :03:37.it is encouraged that the proportion of operations cancelled by the NHS
:03:38. > :03:40.for nonclinical reasons is actually going down, although it says
:03:41. > :03:42.the NHS needs to do more And here in the University Hospital
:03:43. > :03:46.of Wales in Cardiff, they've managed to reduce the number
:03:47. > :03:49.of cancellations for serious pre-planned surgery like cancer
:03:50. > :03:52.surgery to almost zero. It's because this part of intensive
:03:53. > :03:55.care hasn't The patient, once they're
:03:56. > :04:01.in a bed, they own it. They come here, post
:04:02. > :04:04.operatively, and when they're ready to go back
:04:05. > :04:07.to the ward, the space is empty. And the ward, the bed just moves
:04:08. > :04:09.straight Essentially, we took about 250
:04:10. > :04:12.people into intensive care in the year following
:04:13. > :04:15.high-risk surgery. We used to have about
:04:16. > :04:17.500 people booked. Unfortunately, out of that
:04:18. > :04:20.proportion, about 80 didn't Since the system started,
:04:21. > :04:25.in first 12 months afterwards, we've cancelled
:04:26. > :04:30.no patients at all. But the Welsh Government insists
:04:31. > :04:32.patients also have to take their share
:04:33. > :04:33.of responsibility. And that's because of the 85,000
:04:34. > :04:35.postponed operations last year, almost
:04:36. > :04:42.half were cancelled last year, almost half
:04:43. > :04:44.were cancelled by patients, And if we look in detail
:04:45. > :04:50.at South East Wales, for example, 28% of those types
:04:51. > :04:52.of cancellations had been because I think it's the height
:04:53. > :04:56.of selfishness, to know you have one However, I don't like
:04:57. > :05:01.the Welsh Government's chip that I don't like the way they put
:05:02. > :05:05.all the emphasis on the Because this is a logistics problem
:05:06. > :05:09.that we have had for years. And we should be able
:05:10. > :05:12.to resolve it by now. But according to the Royal College
:05:13. > :05:16.of Surgeons, the situation is now so critical politicians from
:05:17. > :05:19.all parties need to accept things This is where difficult
:05:20. > :05:23.decisions may have to be made about the siting of emergency
:05:24. > :05:27.departments and whether we have all of our hospitals doing both
:05:28. > :05:31.emergency and elective work. The difficulty is people are often
:05:32. > :05:34.worried that would mean downgrading And similar plans in
:05:35. > :05:37.the past have been hugely But with cancelled operations
:05:38. > :05:41.now becoming the norm, the question is, are difficult
:05:42. > :05:45.decisions inevitable? Do patients have to accept that
:05:46. > :06:01.postponing operations is a fact Beyond encouraging patients to act
:06:02. > :06:05.responsibly, much of this is about a balance of risks. Some would argue,
:06:06. > :06:10.if you have loads of emergency cases coming in, is it not sensible to
:06:11. > :06:15.postpone some planned operations? The argument is those patients might
:06:16. > :06:19.have to wait longer in pain but at least they will be safe. But it is
:06:20. > :06:22.not as simple as that, because we know that when the pressure is
:06:23. > :06:28.really on, some really serious operations also get cancelled or
:06:29. > :06:32.postponed, and that means patients may deteriorate because of the delay
:06:33. > :06:35.to a position where they cannot have that operation that they needed.
:06:36. > :06:41.There are plans in place to deal with this, but the Royal College of
:06:42. > :06:45.surgeons says we need to go much further. In Wales, we have lots of
:06:46. > :06:50.hospitals that do similar things. In other countries, there is more
:06:51. > :06:57.differentiation. Some concentrate on more emergency staff and others
:06:58. > :07:01.concentrate on more preplanned work. The argument is, if you separate
:07:02. > :07:05.those two things out, it's less likely one will lose out at the
:07:06. > :07:06.expense of the other. But moving to that model is politically and
:07:07. > :07:11.logistically tricky. Thank you. In the last hour, it's been
:07:12. > :07:13.confirmed a 33-year-old in Cardiff under the Terrorism Act,
:07:14. > :07:17.and two houses in the city Caroline Evans is in our newsroom
:07:18. > :07:29.now with the latest. Well, the details on this are scarce
:07:30. > :07:34.at the moment. But what we do know is that this arrest took place in
:07:35. > :07:39.Cardiff earlier this afternoon, and we understand that it is related to
:07:40. > :07:45.an investigation into Islamist terrorism. The police have told us
:07:46. > :07:48.that officers from the Metropolitan Police counterterrorism command
:07:49. > :07:53.arrested a 33-year-old man on suspicion of the commission,
:07:54. > :07:58.preparation and instigation of terrorist acts. From what we are
:07:59. > :08:01.being told, it looks as if it was a planned operation. The police say
:08:02. > :08:06.the arrest took place in this Cardiff street and that it was
:08:07. > :08:12.preplanned, as the result of a proactive investigation by the
:08:13. > :08:17.counterterrorism command, and that this was supported by the Wales
:08:18. > :08:21.extremism and Counterterrorism Unit. And on those two searches, the
:08:22. > :08:26.official line from Scotland Yard is that these searches are underway,
:08:27. > :08:27.but they will not confirm at what location. Caroline, thanks for the
:08:28. > :08:28.update. A man who admitted
:08:29. > :08:30.killing a grandmother in a sexually-motivated attack has
:08:31. > :08:33.been jailed for life by a judge 36-year-old Kris Wade,
:08:34. > :08:42.from Cardiff Bay killed Christine James after
:08:43. > :08:44.she rejected his advances. The court heard how he lived
:08:45. > :08:47.in the flat above her and targeted her as he
:08:48. > :08:55.knew she lived alone. Christine James had only been living
:08:56. > :08:59.in her apartment in Cardiff Bay for about four months, when she was
:09:00. > :09:02.killed in a brutal and sustained attack. She had recently separated
:09:03. > :09:06.from her husband and moved out of the Annalee home. At the end of
:09:07. > :09:11.debris, the 65-year-old grandmother was about to fly to Florida on
:09:12. > :09:14.holiday, but 20 did not arrive at Gatwick, her family became worried
:09:15. > :09:18.enough police to check our home. When officers arrived at her flat,
:09:19. > :09:22.they found it unlocked. Her body was lying on its side in the whole
:09:23. > :09:25.weight in a pool of blood. The prosecution counsel Paul Lewis QC
:09:26. > :09:34.told the court she had been the victim of a brutal attack with a
:09:35. > :09:37.knife. A postmortem examination found that Mrs James had severe
:09:38. > :09:40.bruising to her head. Because of her death was described as a cut to the
:09:41. > :09:42.throat. Kris Wade, who lived in the flat above her, had already admitted
:09:43. > :09:46.the murder at an earlier hearing. Today, he appeared in court by a
:09:47. > :09:50.video link to be sentenced. It is believed the motivation for the
:09:51. > :09:54.attack was sexual and Mrs James had not been sexually assaulted. When
:09:55. > :09:58.police searched the flat of Kris Wade, they found bondage gear and a
:09:59. > :10:07.black handcuff which had the blood of Christian James on it. The judge
:10:08. > :10:14.-- the defence said his client had no memory of the attack but the
:10:15. > :10:18.attack was sexually motivated. Christine's Sun said, the more her
:10:19. > :10:24.daily and feel constantly numb. Please read out a statement from the
:10:25. > :10:29.family. Not a day has gone by when mum is not in our thoughts. Our
:10:30. > :10:32.hearts are broken and we as a family have been trying to come to terms
:10:33. > :10:35.with the events of that weekend ever since. Kris Wade has never shown any
:10:36. > :10:40.remorse or given any account or explanation for his action.
:10:41. > :10:44.Sentencing wait to life in prison, the judge said he went to her flat
:10:45. > :10:49.with a suitcase containing a number of items which I would describe as
:10:50. > :10:54.sex toys. Your intent was to engage in sexual conduct with her. You
:10:55. > :10:57.targeted Mrs James as a potential victim of your sexual desire. When
:10:58. > :11:02.she rejected your advances, you subjected her to a brutal, sustained
:11:03. > :11:05.and ferocious attack. The judge recommended Wade serve at least 21
:11:06. > :11:08.years before he was eligible for parole.
:11:09. > :11:11.Former Secretary of State for Wales, Ron Davies, has called for wildlife
:11:12. > :11:15.in woodland to be better protected, after a dispute with mountain
:11:16. > :11:23.Covert footage passed to BBC Wales shows Mr Davies and another man
:11:24. > :11:25.moving logs and boulders on the woodland floor.
:11:26. > :11:27.He says they were simply clearing a footpath,
:11:28. > :11:34.but bikers claim someone has been placing dangerous
:11:35. > :11:44.undercover footage. The former Secretary of State for Wales, Ron
:11:45. > :11:49.Davies, and another man are moving logs and rocks on the woodland
:11:50. > :11:53.floor. Mountain bikers here in Philly say that if objects like this
:11:54. > :11:58.are placed in their path, it can be dangerous. Both men denied trying to
:11:59. > :12:02.hurt anyone and this is Mr Davies's explanation. Photos showing the
:12:03. > :12:08.moving a large boulder out of the pub so that I as a walker can move
:12:09. > :12:13.there. Why not to say this wasn't me? Because it may well be that
:12:14. > :12:19.there are lots of people who have been putting stones and blogs on the
:12:20. > :12:24.trails. What I am telling you is that here there was a large boulder
:12:25. > :12:33.on the path, which I moved out of the way. We are not going to go any
:12:34. > :12:35.further with this. The accusation is that people have been putting things
:12:36. > :12:39.on the path deliberately and it could lead to someone getting
:12:40. > :12:44.seriously hurt. Is that appropriate? I would be very, very hurt and I
:12:45. > :12:50.would be very disappointed and people were hurt themselves on these
:12:51. > :12:53.trails. This is a row between two groups of people who want to use
:12:54. > :12:57.this would love to slightly different things. On the one hand,
:12:58. > :13:00.you have walkers who like to conserve nature and on the other
:13:01. > :13:03.hand, you have mountain bikers who want to start at the top of the
:13:04. > :13:07.mountain, come down trails like this and also break off into the
:13:08. > :13:12.undergrowth through the trees to make their own unofficial,
:13:13. > :13:14.unauthorised bike trails. Land owners and natural resources Wales
:13:15. > :13:22.says it is not against the rules to go off the beaten track here unless
:13:23. > :13:24.you're causing a safety issue or a threat to the environment. And that
:13:25. > :13:30.is where the debate lies. The wildlife is really damaged in that
:13:31. > :13:34.area. You feel that natural resources Wales are not doing enough
:13:35. > :13:38.to protect it. Absolutely. Well, they cannot do extreme sports any
:13:39. > :13:41.woodland like this which is used by a talking unity for quiet
:13:42. > :13:47.relaxation. Natural resources Wales says it has already moved dangers

:14:56. > :14:59.Hamilton plus the other members, a superb bunch of people, and they are
:15:00. > :15:04.headed up by Neil sitting in the Senate. I have no issue with that at
:15:05. > :15:07.all. You set your members are a splendid bunch of people, so why did
:15:08. > :15:12.you stop Neil Hamilton from speaking at your conference and replace it
:15:13. > :15:16.with a copy break? I did not replace him with a copy break. I change the
:15:17. > :15:22.programme quite substantially. He says you did. Sometimes Neil makes
:15:23. > :15:30.statements that perhaps he would like to rethink in terms of what he
:15:31. > :15:38.said. He said that maybe he thinks the conference is to exciting and
:15:39. > :15:42.needs a sedative. In any other party, insulting the party would
:15:43. > :15:47.result in disciplinary action. He gets promoted. He leads your
:15:48. > :15:51.parliamentary group and this is your shop window and all the voters see
:15:52. > :15:56.that in this democratic institution where Ukip made a breakthrough in
:15:57. > :16:01.May is inviting insults and name-calling. How we sort that out?
:16:02. > :16:03.On Monday, I am hoping we will be able to conclude all of the
:16:04. > :16:07.arrangements from today. I have set aside a whole day to travel to
:16:08. > :16:10.Cardiff to meet with all the Welsh assembly members. That includes
:16:11. > :16:15.Nathan and will include Nathan and also includes meals, so there is no
:16:16. > :16:19.issue there at all. I think what we are picking up on in terms of your
:16:20. > :16:22.kids questions is the legacy that I have inherited of a certain amount
:16:23. > :16:27.of disarray in Wales. I am not going to try to cover that up. But I am
:16:28. > :16:30.year as the new leader. I have been in the Bosporus seven days. It is my
:16:31. > :16:35.opportunity by meeting with them all to see what we can do to heal any
:16:36. > :16:39.rifts and stopped at line with that new has used. I have not taken
:16:40. > :16:44.personal affront. I put it down to people being a little bit excited at
:16:45. > :16:49.the moment. You will have to be the riot act, won't you? It is not my
:16:50. > :16:54.style to read the riot act, if you don't mind. We will have a grown-up
:16:55. > :16:57.conversation, Niall and myself and also the other Welsh assembly
:16:58. > :17:03.members. I have asked each of them or one-on-one meetings, so I am
:17:04. > :17:07.anticipating that if each of us can lay all of our cards on the table,
:17:08. > :17:11.to use that metaphor, we can discuss the issues and I would hope that by

:18:05. > :18:08.Newport and I was diagnosed with autism at the age of seven. It is
:18:09. > :18:12.frustrating when you can't park your car because the disabled bays are
:18:13. > :18:16.taken up and it is frustrating when you get on a train and they do not
:18:17. > :18:21.provide you with a ramp to get you off at the other end and just as air
:18:22. > :18:25.travel is hard work because you have to be light on other people to carry
:18:26. > :18:32.you and left you. They need to provide better financial support for
:18:33. > :18:35.us. It is all right to paint all disabled people as we are having
:18:36. > :18:39.this and we are having that, but actually that is not the case. We
:18:40. > :18:44.have to fight for every penny. You turn a corner and they have removed
:18:45. > :18:48.your allowances. People who feel that because you look are you sound
:18:49. > :18:53.or you act different means that you have to be treated different, you
:18:54. > :18:57.don't have to be treated differently. You just have to know
:18:58. > :19:01.how to treat the brazen and just treat the person like you would
:19:02. > :19:04.anyone else. We want to make sure that they are focusing on the stuff
:19:05. > :19:06.that will give them the best value for money but also increase the
:19:07. > :19:11.opportunities for disabled people in Wales when it comes to accessing

:23:03. > :23:06.than 1000 years. In the days long ago, there are even used to pay

:23:14. > :23:18.Park cattle have been here since 1918, but there are just 750
:23:19. > :23:21.breeding heifers left in the world and is heard eating a bowl to keep
:23:22. > :23:28.the bloodline align, so The National Trust has today launched a campaign
:23:29. > :23:32.to find a ball. After many years of service, the herd's is ready to
:23:33. > :23:37.retire, and he is not the only one. The man in charge of the herd is all
:23:38. > :23:45.so retiring after 18 years. They are far more characterful than you
:23:46. > :23:48.modern cattle. They retain that distinctiveness, that independent
:23:49. > :23:53.spirit, that attitude. Which you don't get in modern cattle, that has
:23:54. > :23:56.been bred out of them. Before he goes, he has been training his
:23:57. > :24:00.apprentice, who is hoping to secure the breed's each. We want to
:24:01. > :24:03.increase the numbers here. We're 13 breeding cows in the herd at the
:24:04. > :24:07.moment but we know that is not sustainable. We know that we need to
:24:08. > :24:12.be nearer to about 25 breeding cows with followers in the of costs, so
:24:13. > :24:16.the idea is that we kind of by the required cattle and bowl and hope
:24:17. > :24:20.that the public will help us by donating some money towards that. As
:24:21. > :24:23.part of the campaign to save the breed, today local schoolchildren
:24:24. > :24:30.have been learning about the herd. They were from Ireland and then when
:24:31. > :24:36.a king moved here, you brought the cows with him. We have come here
:24:37. > :24:40.today to raise money for a new bull, as they are getting old and tired
:24:41. > :24:44.now and they can't have any more babies. The National Trust hopes to
:24:45. > :24:47.raise around ?36,000 to buy a new ball and cows to try to secure the
:24:48. > :24:48.future of this very Welsh breed. Let's take a look at
:24:49. > :25:00.the weather forecast next. Much of Wales enjoying some lovely
:25:01. > :25:04.sunshine today. It is the first day of time. It is starting to feel
:25:05. > :25:08.chilly and you will feel it tonight. Milder oxygen that taking charge as
:25:09. > :25:11.we going to tomorrow. More sunshine and a lot of dry weather to come by
:25:12. > :25:14.the end of the week as well. But tonight, when the sun sets, you will
:25:15. > :25:18.feel the chill in the oxygen back and we will start to season showers
:25:19. > :25:22.coming in from the West, but most of us will get away with a dynamic,
:25:23. > :25:27.some clear skies and where the skies do clear, we could see a dot of mist
:25:28. > :25:32.or fog forming into early hours of tomorrow morning. The wind is light,
:25:33. > :25:36.lows of 9-12dC. Temperatures getting down and perhaps to five Celsius.
:25:37. > :25:40.High pressure pushing into moral from the south. That will bring
:25:41. > :25:44.milder oxygen max from the south so you will notice the difference as we
:25:45. > :25:49.going to tomorrow afternoon, but first thing tomorrow morning, it
:25:50. > :25:52.will be a cold start. Some showers running across the South. The wind
:25:53. > :25:58.picks up from a southerly direction, so you will notice it in exposed
:25:59. > :26:02.areas. Temperatures just above average. 15-18dC. We have some
:26:03. > :26:07.sunshine to look forward to but by the afternoon cloud will increase
:26:08. > :26:10.far western parts, with the best of the sunshine further inland. Into
:26:11. > :26:15.tomorrow night, we will see some clear skies at first but then
:26:16. > :26:20.overnight more cloud will push on from the West. Coastal showers. Mild
:26:21. > :26:24.error across as. Chilly tonight but tomorrow morning it will be warmer.
:26:25. > :26:30.Most of us getting away with double figures. 12-14dC, remaining blustery
:26:31. > :26:33.into early hours of Saturday morning, and then this weather front
:26:34. > :26:37.will bring the rain through Saturday. A bit of uncertainty about
:26:38. > :26:40.the timings, but as it stands, it will be a dry start to Saturday
:26:41. > :26:44.morning and the wrinkling into western parts and then by the
:26:45. > :26:49.afternoon reaching most areas in the east as well. Brisk winds coming in
:26:50. > :26:54.from the southerly direction. It will feel mild on Saturday. Those
:26:55. > :27:00.chapters range between 16-19dC. That rain clears on Saturday night and
:27:01. > :27:04.then on Sunday, we will see some showers, especially across mid and
:27:05. > :27:08.North Wales. A breezy day and the start of next week is an unsettled
:27:09. > :27:13.start. Looking fairly quiet over the coming days as we head into
:27:14. > :27:15.tomorrow. Saturday some rain and on Sunday, it is a day of sunshine and
:27:16. > :27:24.showers. That's your forecast. There is a warning that cancelling
:27:25. > :27:27.scheduled operations is becoming routine and Welsh hospitals because
:27:28. > :27:31.of overwhelming demand for emergency care. That is according to the Royal
:27:32. > :27:33.College of surgeons, but new figures show that almost half were cancelled
:27:34. > :27:34.by patients themselves. at eight, and again straight
:27:35. > :27:39.after the ten o'clock news. But for now, from all of us
:27:40. > :27:42.on the programme, thanks for watching, and have a
:27:43. > :27:44.good evening.
