:00:00. > :00:13.Storm Barbara sweeps across the country.

:00:14. > :00:26.Wind more than 70 mph. It was quite frightening, really. My daughter was

:00:27. > :00:27.in her bedroom, looked out the window towards the school and utter

:00:28. > :00:29.devastation, really. The family out of their home

:00:30. > :00:32.at Christmas because the insurers won't pay-out after flooding

:00:33. > :00:44.ruined their house. Everything has just been ripped

:00:45. > :00:50.apart. And just destroyed. That is the worst thing. It has just all

:00:51. > :00:51.gone. He thought sharing his experience would bring closure.

:00:52. > :00:54.The inquiry looking into sex abuse apologises for the way

:00:55. > :01:06.Quite surprised with the Donald. Trump is in town for Black Friday.

:01:07. > :01:11.the busiest day of the year for our emergency services.

:01:12. > :01:17.The shops want it to be busy on the high streets but emergency services

:01:18. > :01:18.are hoping they will not receive too many calls.

:01:19. > :01:21.Millions invested to help ensure a better service

:01:22. > :01:27.Wind gusts reached 75mph on Anglesey and in Snowdonia today.

:01:28. > :01:48.It always seems to happen as the Christmas getaway begins,

:01:49. > :01:52.Storm Barbara raced across the country, leaving hundreds

:01:53. > :01:53.of homes without power, roads blocked, ferries cancelled.

:01:54. > :01:57.The strongest winds, of more than 70 miles an hour,

:01:58. > :02:06.Christmas shoppers braving the elements this afternoon,

:02:07. > :02:08.as Storm Barbara swept in, bringing high

:02:09. > :02:21.Lloyd Street in this town had to be closed

:02:22. > :02:25.as a precaution after scaffolding amid fears that

:02:26. > :02:28.scaffolding could come loose and high wind.

:02:29. > :02:31.Further up the coast, speed restrictions on the Britannia Bridge

:02:32. > :02:34.between Anglesey and the mainland, putting more strain on the ever

:02:35. > :02:43.The high wind also affected train services in the area,

:02:44. > :02:45.strongest gusts recorded on Anglesey.

:02:46. > :02:47.Those winds also meant fallen trees, blocked

:02:48. > :02:48.roads and power cuts for

:02:49. > :02:50.hundreds of homes across the country.

:02:51. > :02:57.Gusts of anything between 50 and 80 mph have been experienced

:02:58. > :03:00.in exposed parts of the country today and the storm also affected

:03:01. > :03:04.200 in Swansea and 200 in Carmarthenshire have also been

:03:05. > :03:05.without power in the course of today.

:03:06. > :03:12.There have also been almost 100 homes without power in Bridgend

:03:13. > :03:18.Western Power have had engineers across the

:03:19. > :03:20.country trying to get everybody back online.

:03:21. > :03:23.This school in Caernarvon felt the full force of the storm,

:03:24. > :03:30.the roof badly damaged in the high wind.

:03:31. > :03:33.All of a sudden there was this, the only way I can describe it is

:03:34. > :03:44.I ran into her and it was over in seconds, really.

:03:45. > :03:48.Towards the school and it was utter devastation, really.

:03:49. > :03:49.Half the roof had completely torn off.

:03:50. > :03:55.Just carnage is the only way I can describe it.

:03:56. > :03:57.Rough seas meant Irish ferries had to cancel six fast

:03:58. > :03:59.sailings between Holyhead and Dublin but passengers were transferred to

:04:00. > :04:05.Not the best start to the festive season, but the wind and

:04:06. > :04:08.rain will ease over the weekend, with the worst over for now.

:04:09. > :04:10.Meanwhile, a family in Maesteg will spend Christmas

:04:11. > :04:16.away from their home, after their insurers rejected

:04:17. > :04:19.a claim to clear up ?50,000 worth of flood damage caused

:04:20. > :04:23.Ocaso told the Jenkins family they hadn't declared their house

:04:24. > :04:27.Their local MP says the flood was nothing to do with the river

:04:28. > :04:30.and they're giving the insurance industry a bad name.

:04:31. > :04:40.Submerged vehicles, closed roads and ruined homes.

:04:41. > :04:42.Storm Angus hit Wales hard last month, not least

:04:43. > :04:46.Maesteg, where around 50 homes were damaged.

:04:47. > :04:51.Including that of the Jenkins family.

:04:52. > :04:54.Just looks like a bomb has been, like exploded straight in your

:04:55. > :05:09.house and just looks really messy and dirty.

:05:10. > :05:12.Everything is everywhere and really bad, really.

:05:13. > :05:14.Mark Jenkins estimates about ?50,000 of damage.

:05:15. > :05:16.The family are spending Christmas with relatives.

:05:17. > :05:18.It is utter devastation at the moment.

:05:19. > :05:21.We are lucky we have got close family

:05:22. > :05:23.to put us up, because otherwise we would effectively be homeless.

:05:24. > :05:26.But paying for the repairs has become a dispute.

:05:27. > :05:28.Insurers Ocaso have rejected the claim because Mark did

:05:29. > :05:32.not declare the house was within 200 metres of a river.

:05:33. > :05:34.Mark says he does not remember the question, but

:05:35. > :05:36.acknowledges there may have been over an oversight.

:05:37. > :05:38.But he feels the river is irrelevant compared to the

:05:39. > :05:47.During Storm Angus water was streaming off

:05:48. > :05:54.Mark's house and around 50 others behind me were damaged in the flood.

:05:55. > :05:57.The nearest river is within 200 metres of Mark's house.

:05:58. > :06:03.It is at the bottom of the hill on the other side

:06:04. > :06:06.of the main road but both he and his local Assembly Member say

:06:07. > :06:08.the river had nothing to do with the flooding.

:06:09. > :06:09.Let's treat these people with respect.

:06:10. > :06:12.It is a genuine claim for a couple and a family and their

:06:13. > :06:14.children, who are out of their home for Christmas.

:06:15. > :06:17.Their home is in devastation, show some decency, I

:06:18. > :06:33.Davies thinks others could be caught by the 200 metre rule and he wants

:06:34. > :06:35.the system to change so insurers identify how close properties

:06:36. > :06:38.are to a river rather than customers having to declare it themselves.

:06:39. > :06:40.In response the Association of British

:06:41. > :06:54.It will not comment on Mark's case but

:06:55. > :06:59.stresses the importance of customers answering questions...

:07:00. > :07:01.One month on from the floods in Maesteg, Ocaso

:07:02. > :07:05.said it is in discussions with Mark and will not comment any further.

:07:06. > :07:07.The effects are still being felt by many in the area

:07:08. > :07:10.but the future is more uncertain for some than others.

:07:11. > :07:12.The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse has carried out

:07:13. > :07:14.an urgent review of its service in Wales and apologised

:07:15. > :07:17.to a victim of sexual abuse for the poor support he received.

:07:18. > :07:19.When the office opened in Wales in October

:07:20. > :07:22.a victim told our reporter that he hoped for some

:07:23. > :07:23.closure by sharing his story with the inquiry.

:07:24. > :07:26.But he says he's "devastated" by the way he's been treated.

:07:27. > :07:42.Many of us have fond childhood memories of holidays by the seaside.

:07:43. > :07:47.That is not the case for everyone. Tony, not his real name, was abused

:07:48. > :07:53.on a youth summer camp in Porthcawl in the 70s by a man supposed to be

:07:54. > :07:56.looking after him. Three other men made similar accusations about the

:07:57. > :08:02.alleged abuser, who was employed as a teacher by Cardiff Council. He

:08:03. > :08:07.told us his story back in October. I became very scared of adults. My

:08:08. > :08:14.whole schooling after that basically deteriorated. It was stories like

:08:15. > :08:19.Tony's that launch the Independent enquiry into child sex abuse, set up

:08:20. > :08:24.in 2014 by then Home Secretary Theresa May, to look at abuse

:08:25. > :08:28.allegations by private and public institutions. An office opened in

:08:29. > :08:33.Cardiff two months ago and survivors like Tony were urged to come forward

:08:34. > :08:36.and share their stories. A support worker contacted Tony before his

:08:37. > :08:42.appointment and was shocked when he started crying and she spoke of her

:08:43. > :08:44.own abuse. Tony said he ended up cancelling -- counselling her. When

:08:45. > :08:49.he hung up the phone he was devastated. It was like a train

:08:50. > :08:54.running over me. I did not know what to do. You are hopeful by giving

:08:55. > :09:01.evidence you will have some kind of closure. But at the moment the wound

:09:02. > :09:08.is opened. It is open big-time. More than ever. You cannot lock it, open

:09:09. > :09:15.it and lock it and open it all the time at will. Do you have concerns

:09:16. > :09:19.for other people? Absolutely. This affects people in different ways. I

:09:20. > :09:24.have been quite strong. You don't know who is out there. The people

:09:25. > :09:31.coming forward, they could be suicidal. By the outcome. When the

:09:32. > :09:36.office opened in Cardiff in October Professor Alexis J denied the quarry

:09:37. > :09:42.-- in quarry was in crisis despite being the fourth chairwoman in two

:09:43. > :09:50.years. -- enquiry. There has been criticism the remit is too broad. I

:09:51. > :09:54.think it has gone beyond the reach of any successful or positive

:09:55. > :10:00.outcome. I think that is very sad for those who have witnessed that

:10:01. > :10:03.from the beginning. Because yet again it is potentially another

:10:04. > :10:08.negative outcome as a result of their disclosures. An urgent review

:10:09. > :10:11.was carried out after Tony complain. He received an apology and the

:10:12. > :10:17.enquiry says changes have been made to make sure this does not happen to

:10:18. > :10:20.anyone else. Tony Hadley three other men are pursuing civil claims

:10:21. > :10:23.against Cardiff Council for damages. -- and the three other men. The

:10:24. > :10:26.council said it takes the allegations very seriously but

:10:27. > :10:31.cannot comment on the case while it is ongoing. Tony has still not given

:10:32. > :10:34.his evidence but he hopes the new year will bring some closure to the

:10:35. > :10:38.memories that afforded him for decades.

:10:39. > :10:43.The Archbishop of Wales has used his Christmas message to call

:10:44. > :10:45.for people to respond to events like the Brexit vote

:10:46. > :10:48.and the election of Donald Trump with "tolerance and grace".

:10:49. > :10:50.Dr Barry Morgan says 2016 has been an extraordinary year -

:10:51. > :10:53.with the civil war in Syria and the growing refugee crisis

:10:54. > :10:56.showing we live in a world that "seems at times to be

:10:57. > :11:08.There are 65 million refugees. Syria is in meltdown. People are torn

:11:09. > :11:14.apart in this country by the Brexit vote. America has a president who

:11:15. > :11:21.has made the rocketry remarks about women, Mexicans, foreigners in

:11:22. > :11:26.general. -- the rocketry. Christians build bridges, not walls. --

:11:27. > :11:27.inappropriate remarks. Enough divides us already.

:11:28. > :11:30.They're calling it Frenzied Friday - potentially the busiest day

:11:31. > :11:33.of the year for our emergency services and our high streets.

:11:34. > :11:35.Millions are said to be hitting the shops to pick-up last-minute

:11:36. > :11:40.gifts and heading to the pub with friends and family.

:11:41. > :11:42.In a moment - Roger Pinney on the Welsh retailers

:11:43. > :11:46.as they hope for brisk business, but first Rhiannon Wilkins with

:11:47. > :12:01.Starting early. This stag do is making the most of the last Friday

:12:02. > :12:04.before Christmas. I will try and make the night. That is what I will

:12:05. > :12:11.try and do. I probably will not make it. Make Christmas great again!

:12:12. > :12:18.Black Fridays have been a pretty black as far as the memory is

:12:19. > :12:22.concerned! They are on their best behaviour. But not everybody hitting

:12:23. > :12:28.the streets in the next 48 hours will have such military discipline.

:12:29. > :12:30.For months police forces across Wales have been prepared for

:12:31. > :12:37.potential incidents over the festive period and in Cardiff, it is called

:12:38. > :12:41.operation mistletoe. City centre is getting busy. Not many people out

:12:42. > :12:45.stringing at the moment but by about five or six o'clock that will

:12:46. > :12:50.change. Chief Inspector Jacqueline Johnson has been with south Wales

:12:51. > :12:54.police 21 years. We will be bringing an extra 40 police officers only for

:12:55. > :12:58.the city centre. The street parties have increased their numbers.

:12:59. > :13:03.Licensees will be working to capacity with bar staff. The alcohol

:13:04. > :13:06.treatment centre as extra staff. It is almost double at least compared

:13:07. > :13:12.to normal Friday Saturday night in the city centre. We are expecting a

:13:13. > :13:15.busy one. These are some of the team, medical staff, licensing

:13:16. > :13:18.officers and public transport officers as well as police are all

:13:19. > :13:24.involved in trying to keep everything under control. It is at

:13:25. > :13:28.this centre in the middle of Cardiff there is one worse for wear this

:13:29. > :13:31.evening will be brought. When the first person comes in you are always

:13:32. > :13:36.ready for the next one. Having them here makes a big impact to the main

:13:37. > :13:40.unit and everything out of the street for the other emergency

:13:41. > :13:43.services as well. The emergency services know they are in for a busy

:13:44. > :13:48.few days but with months of preparation and place they hope this

:13:49. > :13:56.Black Friday will pass without too much of a hangover. What is it to

:13:57. > :14:01.be? Out with a last-minute gift and today braving the edge of Storm

:14:02. > :14:05.Barbara to do it? Was this particular high street a little more

:14:06. > :14:10.quiet than usual? The weather, perhaps, or something else? At the

:14:11. > :14:13.last minute I will go and get it because you cannot get it in the

:14:14. > :14:16.post, you're not always guaranteed so I thought I would come and see

:14:17. > :14:23.what I can get. What are you looking for? Cannot say in case my wife

:14:24. > :14:31.sees! High street or Internet, Meena Lee? High street. Why is that? I

:14:32. > :14:36.like to see things in my hand before I purchase. Something for my

:14:37. > :14:42.daughter. A little warmer. Not much, actually. I am sorry. Do you shop on

:14:43. > :14:46.the high street or Internet? Mainly on the high street. You can see what

:14:47. > :14:50.you are buying. It'll be a while before the retailers tell us how

:14:51. > :14:54.they have done this Christmas. Anecdotally high streets have been a

:14:55. > :14:58.little more quiet. Is that because we are spending less or perhaps

:14:59. > :15:04.shopping differently? Maybe a bit of both. The signs are ominous,

:15:05. > :15:10.according to the retail Consortium, footfall dropped in November

:15:11. > :15:12.compared to last year. The Centre for retail research suggested

:15:13. > :15:17.spending across Christmas as a whole has been well below expectations.

:15:18. > :15:23.Retailers hope this is a week to steal a march on mail order sales.

:15:24. > :15:26.We see a greater growth of footfall in the last week because customers

:15:27. > :15:29.really need to get hold of that product, that get, because they

:15:30. > :15:33.cannot go into Christmas Day without it. The risk factor for many is they

:15:34. > :15:39.would rather come into the shops and by that product. The big stores in

:15:40. > :15:45.the biggest city can fight back. What about smaller shopping centres

:15:46. > :15:51.across Wales? We are seeing evidence all year, the last 18 months, that

:15:52. > :15:54.shops are closing and the secondary high-street footfall is falling.

:15:55. > :16:01.They have had a difficult time for a decade. One day left of shopping for

:16:02. > :16:02.Christmas 2016. The sales are next. In some places they have already

:16:03. > :16:04.started. You're watching Wales Today

:16:05. > :16:07.on Friday the 23rd of December. How the Welsh Ambulance

:16:08. > :16:10.service is aiming to get The worst is now over but what does

:16:11. > :16:20.the rest of the Christmas A teenager who had to be tested

:16:21. > :16:29.for HIV and Hepatitis after getting a tattoo at a Newport parlour has

:16:30. > :16:33.told BBC Wales she's glad its owner John Cochran admitted

:16:34. > :16:38.health and safety offences at Cardiff Crown Court

:16:39. > :16:40.after customers developed But where you get them done,

:16:41. > :16:54.like this clean, safe business, can be vitally important

:16:55. > :16:55.to your health. As 19-year-old Molly

:16:56. > :17:04.Ormond is all too aware. There was arguments,

:17:05. > :17:11.a fight broke out Why I did not walk out when I saw

:17:12. > :17:21.that I still don't know. She had her piercing in the wrong

:17:22. > :17:24.studio and had to be tested for hepatitis and HIV after other

:17:25. > :17:26.customers developed I was nervous, I was scared

:17:27. > :17:34.I had all these things running through my

:17:35. > :17:35.head, as you would. You never think you will ever go

:17:36. > :17:42.through something like that. Molly went here,

:17:43. > :17:44.the Sun Tattoo Studio. There's a sign saying it's

:17:45. > :17:46.under new management. It was also known as Blue Voodoo -

:17:47. > :17:52.and Flesh Wound. Four customers were hospitalised

:17:53. > :18:01.after infections from ear piercings. The owner, John Cochran,

:18:02. > :18:04.pleaded guilty to health and safety offences and was given a 16 week

:18:05. > :18:12.suspended prison sentence. The investigation led

:18:13. > :18:14.to the Aneurin Bevan Health Board testing hundreds of people

:18:15. > :18:17.for blood-borne viruses. They attended specially set up

:18:18. > :18:20.clinics where they were checked for things like Hepatitis B and C

:18:21. > :18:22.- and HIV. She's now taken that piercing out

:18:23. > :18:29.and is glad Cochran has I feel that it's been

:18:30. > :18:35.a long time coming. It's been probably one big

:18:36. > :18:36.roller-coaster ride, He's definitely got

:18:37. > :18:43.what he deserves. Cochran has had his tattoo

:18:44. > :18:46.and piercing licence taken off him ? and there are calls to tighten

:18:47. > :18:48.the rules - to protect more

:18:49. > :18:55.people in the future. ?4.5 million will be spent improving

:18:56. > :18:57.the Ambulance Service's The Welsh Government investment aims

:18:58. > :19:06.to ensure ambulances are deployed to life-threatening calls faster

:19:07. > :19:08.and better co-ordination Ambulance service, what's the full

:19:09. > :19:13.address of the emergency? In every direction

:19:14. > :19:19.you look there is a computer screen at

:19:20. > :19:23.the contact centre. It may look modern, but

:19:24. > :19:26.the infrastructure which keeps the biggest ambulance control room

:19:27. > :19:28.in the country running is from a The system is the bridge

:19:29. > :19:31.between the 999 call takers and allocators that send

:19:32. > :19:34.ambulances to patients. It is a system we are

:19:35. > :19:37.maintaining and it is a safe system, but it is time now

:19:38. > :19:43.to move to a 21st-century system. The service will now

:19:44. > :19:45.get that opportunity to move on thanks to

:19:46. > :19:47.a ?4.5 million investment

:19:48. > :19:51.in its technology. The new system will be introduced

:19:52. > :19:54.at all three contact centres across the country here,

:19:55. > :19:57.replacing the system which was based It is going to pull

:19:58. > :20:09.everything together, help contact centre staff to identify

:20:10. > :20:13.the call and the most appropriate resource and also give them a range

:20:14. > :20:16.of options to make sure they send the most appropriate resource

:20:17. > :20:19.and the nearest resource. Response time targets

:20:20. > :20:24.were scrapped last year for all apart from the most serious,

:20:25. > :20:30.immediately life-threatening calls. The latest figures released at

:20:31. > :20:33.the end of last month show 77.1% of responses to red calls arrived

:20:34. > :20:35.within eight minutes. The new dispatch computer system

:20:36. > :20:42.could improve those response times That marginal improvement

:20:43. > :20:45.should make a really big difference for people who really

:20:46. > :20:49.need a fast response. It should also ensure

:20:50. > :20:51.there is better coordination between emergency services

:20:52. > :20:55.on major incidents as well. Can you see the patient

:20:56. > :20:57.from where you are? Can you confirm they

:20:58. > :20:59.are awake, conscious Call centres will use

:21:00. > :21:10.the trusty system which has served for over 15 years

:21:11. > :21:14.but the new technology will be rolled out at

:21:15. > :21:16.control centres by the end of next year, ensuring

:21:41. > :21:45.Bob Bradley, wants for Christmas. Bob Bradley has admitted his future

:21:46. > :21:48.at the club could depend on the results of Swansea's

:21:49. > :21:50.next two games. The Swans, who have only won two

:21:54. > :21:56.and Bournemouth on New Year's Eve. They're currently second from bottom

:21:57. > :22:04.in the Premier League. Since his arrival, Bob Bradley has

:22:09. > :22:10.wins, conceding 15 goals Even the American admits his job

:22:11. > :22:24.could be hanging in the balance. The team has not been in his best

:22:25. > :22:30.form and goes through a tough stretch. You could say it is a club

:22:31. > :22:35.that has gone through tough periods. I knew coming in that was a

:22:36. > :22:36.challenge. I'm just as motivated and determined about the challenge as

:22:39. > :22:41.in the Premier League table, On Boxing Day they take on West Ham,

:22:42. > :22:47.currently in 13th and fresh off the back of two wins,

:22:48. > :22:49.before taking on 10th place Some pundits say the Swans

:22:50. > :22:54.are the present every other team But they're getting

:22:55. > :23:13.slightly more respect He away they are, let's say not the

:23:14. > :23:22.best, but we are playing at Swansea... They hit form at home.

:23:23. > :23:23.But I am really expecting us now to continue.

:23:24. > :23:25.Bob Bradley will have to wait until Boxing Day to see
