Two men have been charged with attempted murder | :00:11. | :00:13. | |

A 47-year-old man remains in a critical but stable | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
condition in hospital following the incident | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
will appear before Newport Crown Court at the end of January. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Disruption on the rail network has continued for a second day | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Services between Cardiff and Maesteg have been affected | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
as well as between Cardiff and Birmingham, | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Yesterday, passengers faced delays and cancellations | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Gwent Police say the disappearance of a Newbridge man, presumed | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
murdered, remains a mystery four years after he went missing. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Kyle Vaughan's car was found on the side of a | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
A murder inquiry was launched but he's never been found. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Eight people have been arrested over the course of the inquiry | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
but all were released without charge. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
It's a year since the Wylfa nuclear power station closed down | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
bringing to an end more than 40 years of electricity generation. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Its operators say the decommissioning process | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
is on track despite some problems with equipment. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
After two more years, it's expected all the most | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
radioactive material will have been removed from the site. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
On its way off site, another flask of radioactive | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
material, spent fuel cells leaving Wylfa for Sellafield in Cumbria. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Ashley White heads up what is called safety case at the plant. | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
Typically, we ship around five of these a week | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
during the de-fuelling period and have around | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
500 sent of site before we actually finish de-fuelling here at Wylfa. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Before shutdown, Wylfa is being run from its control room. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Now it is the de-fuelling operation rather than electricity generation | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
But it is out on the floor of the massive reactor room | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
that the real work is being done. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Special equipment used to remove spent fuel elements from the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
They were allowed to cool for 100 days before de-fuelling. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
And there have been some problem since. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
For the shutdown of thing went according | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
to plan, and through the 100 day outage. | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
The reliability of the defuelling machinery through the sort of period | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
up to now has not been what we would have liked | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
but we're working our way through that. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
You can see the dedication of the people on site. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
A lot of work has been done in the machines getting them ready, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
there is also a maintenance schedule to make sure everything is safe | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
on that machine so they are doing a lot of the checks on there before | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
we hand it over from maintenance teams to the operation teams. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
It is estimated it will be another ten years before enough radioactive | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
material is removed to put Wylfa into what is called, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Another 100 years before the site can be cleared. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Over time the buildings here will reduce in size but it | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
will be a long time before Wylfa disappears | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Newly released papers show that Margaret Thatcher questioned | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
whether more money should be given to thousands of people affected | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
by severe flooding along the North Wales coast in 1990. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
In a raft of previously secret documents | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
published by the National Archives, the former prime minister asks | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
if the ?50,000 Welsh Office donation seemed low. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
They became known as the Towyn floods as the seaside resort | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
was most badly affected by a major breach of its sea wall. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
But large stretches of coast across North Wales were also hit. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
5,000 people had to leave their homes and caravan parks | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
A fund was established to offer relief to the worst hit. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
For the first time it's been revealed that Margaret Thatcher | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
questioned whether the ?50,000 dontation from the | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
The National Archives have released cabinet minutes which show she urged | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the then Welsh Secretary to ask the Treasury for more. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
I dare say that within the Cabinet, different people had different views | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
but of course we had the Mayor of Colwyn's fund which amounted | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
to nearly ?1 million to which ordinary people | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Although public donations helped raise around ?1 million, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Wyn Roberts was among the victims who felt | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
There were nearly 2,000 homes flooded. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
I mean, the camps got a lot of money because their places were all upset. | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
But they did nothing for the people living here, nothing at all. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
This area has flooded several more times since 1990 | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
although there are many defences in place. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
People whose homes were devastated 27 years ago are | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
speculating what difference, if any, might have made by the | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
attempted intervention of the then Prime Minister. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Seperate government documents from 1989 made | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
available today, show another row about money. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
It's emerged that the then Welsh Secretary Peter Walker | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
rejected plans for his department to fund the | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
S4C television channel rather than the Home Office, fearing it | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
would bring the station too far into the political domain. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Paul Clement is understood to be the leading candidate to become | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Swansea City's new manager but Gary Rowett remains in contention. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Clement is currently assistant manager at Bayern Munich, | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
while Rowett was recently sacked by Birmingham City. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Ryan Giggs and Wales manager Chris Coleman were among | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
the early favourites but it's understood | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints will break | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
a 44-year-old world record tonight if they beat Cefn Druids | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
They equalled the record set by the Dutch side Ajax in 1972, | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
with a 4-0 victory over Cefn Druids on Boxing Day. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
And Cardiff City's match against Brighton in the Championship | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Let's get the weather, Derek's got the forecast. | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
Fogg has been causing problems in parts of the UK over the past couple | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
of days. The worst of it has passed. It will have done so by the time we | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
get to New Year's Day because by then we will have a cold air stream | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
coming in from the Arctic. Today, it has been milder in Wales with | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
temperatures as high as 13 Celsius in Milford Haven. It has been grey | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
and misty in Tonypandy as you can see. So this evening and tonight, | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
Misty and murky in parts of the south. Dry overnight and we should | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
escape a frost, lowers temperatures for Celsius in parts of mid-and east | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
Wales. For tomorrow, a grey starting places. A lots of dry weather | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
tomorrow. The cloud should break up. It will be mild, 11 degrees in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Wrexham with a south-westerly breeze. If you are heading out to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
celebrate New Year, take an umbrella, that is rain in the wake | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
-- on the way. On New Year's Day, the rain will clear and it will try | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
and biting. A cold start to the New Year, some sunshine. | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
I'll be back with our next bulletin at 10.50pm. | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
That's Wales Today, thank you for watching. | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
From all of us on the programme, good evening. | :07:52. | :07:55. |
