:01:27. > :01:31.exceptional challenges this winter. That's according to the head
:01:32. > :01:33.of the health service He says the last month has seen some
:01:34. > :01:38.of the busiest days ever faced by hospital emergency units
:01:39. > :01:41.and the Welsh Ambulance Service. Let's get the latest now from our
:01:42. > :01:59.health correspondent Owain Clarke. Welcome to one of Britain's busiest
:02:00. > :02:05.A departments at Wales biggest hospital. Since midnight staff have
:02:06. > :02:11.seen 320 patients. When they're really busy, they can see up to 60
:02:12. > :02:15.patients each and every hour. The figures out today suggested there
:02:16. > :02:18.had been a deterioration in the performance of A departments
:02:19. > :02:23.across Wales in the early part of the winter but what does that tell
:02:24. > :02:25.us? Especially when the boss of the NHS in Wales warns that the system
:02:26. > :02:35.is facing exceptional challenges? Winter or summer, rain or shine,
:02:36. > :02:38.it's rarely quiet here. Staff and Britain's biggest A department I
:02:39. > :02:45.used to working under pressure but they've been busier than ever. We
:02:46. > :02:48.have experienced a 2% increase in attendance compared to last year and
:02:49. > :02:52.that's been predominantly with children. We have seen an increase
:02:53. > :02:55.in children's admissions and also with the elderly. The elderly that
:02:56. > :03:05.have fallen but can't go back to their home. They are overrun. And
:03:06. > :03:09.when the seat you, they are great. I've had no problems and I've been
:03:10. > :03:14.in and out of this place a few times, I'll tell you. They are
:03:15. > :03:20.certainly busy but they still have time for you. And introduce
:03:21. > :03:23.themselves by name. The upshot is described as extraordinary pressure.
:03:24. > :03:30.Take a look at this map. On Christmas day, most of these places
:03:31. > :03:37.were quiet, circled in green. Two days later, admissions soared. New
:03:38. > :03:41.Year's Day was the busiest on record for the Welsh ambulance service.
:03:42. > :03:45.Look at the red on the map, most hospitals were at the highest state
:03:46. > :03:51.of alert meaning they were facing extreme pressure. So, how do they
:03:52. > :03:56.respond? When we moved escalation level format, we look at where do we
:03:57. > :03:59.have space? Where is the space we wouldn't traditionally use? Let's
:04:00. > :04:04.use that space, let's ensure we get the discharge process in place, we
:04:05. > :04:09.are clearing patients by midday. Let's look at the additional
:04:10. > :04:12.capacity we can use. And we have a large number of plans that we are
:04:13. > :04:16.already implementing to improve capacity and the flow through the
:04:17. > :04:19.system. A similar across Wales. Several health boards have had to
:04:20. > :04:29.redirect patients from one hospital to another at times of spikes in
:04:30. > :04:31.demand. Many have also reported a big increase in the most urgent
:04:32. > :04:34.category of patients. But several say they are preventing planned
:04:35. > :04:37.operations from being spent 400 beds are available across Wales when
:04:38. > :04:42.things are very busy. Here at the heart of the Welsh government's HQ,
:04:43. > :04:47.officials can monitor the situation in each and every hospital in Wales
:04:48. > :04:53.minute by minute. And it happens in this room. When I visited, this was
:04:54. > :04:57.the situation. Really busy hospitals just about managing. Twice a day,
:04:58. > :05:01.conference calls take place involving health board bosses to
:05:02. > :05:08.discuss ways to ease the strain. The boss of the entire NHS in Wales says
:05:09. > :05:11.system is coping. We remain a system under a lot of pressure. I think the
:05:12. > :05:17.fact we've come into this winter with an ambulance service that has
:05:18. > :05:21.been performing more resiliently and has really helped us in our
:05:22. > :05:25.response, they have maintained a really good level of response. We
:05:26. > :05:30.have kept our social care delays low, which is positive, but there is
:05:31. > :05:35.more to go out. Staff have done a great job to manage, whether in GP
:05:36. > :05:40.settings, in social care or on the hospital site and in A but it is
:05:41. > :05:46.important we focus on the demands on an ongoing basis. A shortage of
:05:47. > :05:53.staff and beds is making a difficult situation even worse, bosses say.
:05:54. > :05:57.We've lost 40% of bed numbers in Wales in the last couple of years.
:05:58. > :06:02.When there is the surge, you don't have the capacity to cope. That is a
:06:03. > :06:05.knock on. Even when you're back to more normal levels, you have the
:06:06. > :06:10.backlog because he can't get people out of hospital because of social
:06:11. > :06:14.care cuts, because of difficulties of getting people back in their
:06:15. > :06:17.environment. The priority the staff is to make sure patients get treated
:06:18. > :06:23.safely, even when the pressure's really on. The problem is the
:06:24. > :06:24.strain, year on year, shows little signs of easing.
:06:25. > :06:26.So, Owain, do today's figures tell us anything
:06:27. > :06:29.about whether the pressures on the Welsh NHS are any different
:06:30. > :06:39.Well, generally speaking, I think it is fair to say the simple answer is
:06:40. > :06:43.they are broadly similar. I was spoken to the doctors to the BMA,
:06:44. > :06:49.and their members, wherever they worked, England, Wales, the rest of
:06:50. > :06:54.the UK, the same as their message. It's really tough out there. Leaked
:06:55. > :06:57.figures in England suggested that performance in A deteriorated
:06:58. > :07:02.quite rapidly there during the first week of the New Year. The very time
:07:03. > :07:09.the boss of the NHS in Wales is saying that the system had
:07:10. > :07:13.significant problems. But we won't get to judge the impact of that
:07:14. > :07:17.until the next set of official statistics are out in February.
:07:18. > :07:21.Historically speaking, it's fair to say that the performance in Wales
:07:22. > :07:26.has been worse than in England. The Nuffield trust, an independent think
:07:27. > :07:30.tank, says there might be a mismatch between the number of beds in
:07:31. > :07:37.hospitals and the demand for them. But part of the reason might be that
:07:38. > :07:41.the Welsh population, as a whole, is older, poorer, and less healthy than
:07:42. > :07:45.across the border. Thank you very much.
:07:46. > :07:47.Chelsea Manning's family in Pembrokeshire say they're
:07:48. > :07:49.overjoyed by the news that she will be freed in May.
:07:50. > :07:51.Barack Obama has announced that Manning's 35-year sentence
:07:52. > :07:54.for leaking military documents will be commuted, or reduced.
:07:55. > :07:56.Tonight President-elect Donald Trump's Press Secretary has said
:07:57. > :07:59.Mr Trump is troubled by President Obama's decision.
:08:00. > :08:06.With the reaction, here's Teleri Glyn Jones.
:08:07. > :08:12.With three days left before he leaves office, President Obama has
:08:13. > :08:17.commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, the former Army private who
:08:18. > :08:21.gave thousands of military documents to WikiLeaks. The leak was one of
:08:22. > :08:25.the biggest breaches of classified material in US history. For some,
:08:26. > :08:29.Chelsea Manning is a hero who expose wrongdoing in the military. For
:08:30. > :08:35.others, she is a traitor that could encourage other acts of espionage.
:08:36. > :08:40.She was born Bradley Manning in Oklahoma but spent most of in
:08:41. > :08:46.Pembrokeshire. James went to school with Chelsea. She was very
:08:47. > :08:49.interested in computers and very political. A lot of people are and
:08:50. > :08:53.you don't expect them to stand up and make that big step forward but
:08:54. > :08:58.themselves out there in that sort of position. After leaving school,
:08:59. > :09:03.Chelsea Manning joined the US Army and was posted to a rock in 2009 but
:09:04. > :09:06.was found guilty for years later of espionage by leaking three quarters
:09:07. > :09:11.of a million documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.
:09:12. > :09:15.Private Manning was sentenced to 35 years and a maximum security
:09:16. > :09:19.military prison. Last night, that sentence was commuted by Barack
:09:20. > :09:23.Obama in one of his last acts as president. And the family home, the
:09:24. > :09:28.news that Chelsea Manning will be released in May has been welcomed.
:09:29. > :09:33.I've spoken to Kevin Fox, Chelsea's uncle, who said they are over the
:09:34. > :09:36.moon. In a statement, Susan Manning, her mother, says she now hopes
:09:37. > :09:40.Chelsea will be able to get on with the rest of her life and added there
:09:41. > :09:45.will always be a welcome for higher here. Family and friends have kept
:09:46. > :09:48.in close contact with Chelsea Manning throughout her imprisonment
:09:49. > :09:53.in the USA. One school friend visited her in prison and has always
:09:54. > :09:57.aborted her. When I heard the news last night that President Obama has
:09:58. > :10:04.commuted Chelsea's sentence, my personal reaction was utter joy.
:10:05. > :10:08.When you're faced with a 35 year prison term, it is an incredibly
:10:09. > :10:12.daunting prospect. I cannot imagine being in Chelsea's shoes. The
:10:13. > :10:17.priority now is when Chelsea is liberated is to make a plan for her
:10:18. > :10:20.welfare. Nobody is seeking to downplay the enormity and zero and
:10:21. > :10:25.solve a crime but anybody looking into this can see this is far from
:10:26. > :10:29.straightforward, it is complicated. There have been can serious concerns
:10:30. > :10:32.about Chelsea Manning's emotional and physical well being expressed by
:10:33. > :10:43.family and friends and I think President Obama has taken a very
:10:44. > :10:45.human decision. It isn't the pardon some campaigners have hoped for but
:10:46. > :10:46.having been expected to be in prison until 2045, Manning will now be
:10:47. > :10:47.released in May. BBC Wales understands Wrexham's
:10:48. > :10:49.new prison, HMP Berwyn, will accept its first inmates

:15:09. > :15:11.will challenge every sector of the Welsh economy, and agriculture more

:16:53. > :16:56.British government has made it clear it will be positive going into the
:16:57. > :17:00.negotiations with the European Union because we do need the broadest
:17:01. > :17:04.possible access to the single market. Don't forget the reach of
