The opera singer Bryn Terfel has been awarded a knighthood

:00:13.:00:18.

in the New Year honours list and Wales football manager Chris

:00:19.:00:20.

They are among more than 50 people from Wales to be

:00:21.:00:24.

Bryn Terfel has performed across the world and

:00:25.:00:35.

for his services to music, he is to be knighted.

:00:36.:00:39.

I'm immensely proud to accept this and I think of my family,

:00:40.:00:43.

I think of my sons, I think of my fans,

:00:44.:00:49.

I think of the great British public, and this

:00:50.:00:54.

is hopefully something that I will carry with pride.

:00:55.:00:57.

The man who guided Wales to the semifinals of Euro 2016,

:00:58.:01:02.

football manager Chris Coleman, is among those to receive an OBE.

:01:03.:01:06.

And in a year that saw Team GB bring home a record-breaking haul

:01:07.:01:12.

of medals from the real Olympics, cyclist Elinor Barker from Cardiff

:01:13.:01:15.

Paralympic gold medallist Hollie Arnold gets an MBE

:01:16.:01:22.

So, too, table tennis player Rob Davies from Brecon,

:01:23.:01:29.

who claimed his first Paralympic title in Rio.

:01:30.:01:31.

Community service, too, is recognised.

:01:32.:01:34.

Little and Broad Haven Life Station, has saved the lives of eight people

:01:35.:01:43.

I wasn't quite sure why I'd got a letter from the

:01:44.:01:52.

Cabinet Office on Her Majesty's service.

:01:53.:01:54.

I'm honoured to be getting it for the RNLI.

:01:55.:01:59.

For services to mountain rescue, Huw Jones from Central

:02:00.:02:02.

Beacons Mountain rescue team gets an MBE.

:02:03.:02:04.

In all, more than 50 people from Wales are to receive honours.

:02:05.:02:08.

Two men have been charged with attempted murder,

:02:09.:02:10.

following a stabbing near Pontypool on Tuesday.

:02:11.:02:14.

A 47-year-old man remains in a critical but stable condition

:02:15.:02:16.

in hospital following the incident in the village of Hafodyrynys.

:02:17.:02:20.

The men, both in their 30s, will appear before Newport Crown Court

:02:21.:02:24.

Police say they're still investigating the disappearance

:02:25.:02:31.

of a man from Newbridge in Caerphilly County ? four years

:02:32.:02:33.

Kyle Vaughan's car was found on the side of a dual

:02:34.:02:37.

Police launched a murder inquiry but he has never been found.

:02:38.:02:41.

Eight people have been arrested over the course of the inquiry.

:02:42.:02:45.

It's a year since Wylfa nuclear power station closed down,

:02:46.:02:54.

bringing to an end more than 40 years of electricity generation.

:02:55.:02:57.

Its operators say the decommissioning process

:02:58.:03:00.

is on track, despite some problems with equipment.

:03:01.:03:03.

After two more years, it's expected all of the most

:03:04.:03:06.

radioactive material will have been removed from the site.

:03:07.:03:09.

On its way off-site, another flask of radioactive

:03:10.:03:17.

material, spent fuel cells leaving Wylfa for Sellafield in Cumbria.

:03:18.:03:21.

Ashley White heads up what is called safety case at the plant.

:03:22.:03:29.

Typically, we ship around five of these a week

:03:30.:03:33.

during the defuelling period and have around

:03:34.:03:38.

500 sent off-site before we actually finish defuelling here at Wylfa.

:03:39.:03:40.

As before shutdown, Wylfa is being run from its control room.

:03:41.:03:43.

Now it's the defuelling operation rather than electricity generation

:03:44.:03:46.

But it is out on the floor of the massive reactor room

:03:47.:03:53.

that the real work is being done.

:03:54.:03:54.

Special equipment used to remove spent fuel elements from the

:03:55.:03:59.

They were allowed to cool for 100 days before de-fuelling.

:04:00.:04:06.

They were allowed to cool for 100 days before defuelling.

:04:07.:04:09.

And there have been some problem since.

:04:10.:04:10.

For the shutdown, everything went according to plan,

:04:11.:04:12.

The reliability of the defuelling machinery through the sort of period

:04:13.:04:19.

up to now has not been what we would have liked

:04:20.:04:21.

but we're working our way through that.

:04:22.:04:23.

You can see the dedication of the people on site.

:04:24.:04:26.

A lot of the work has been done on the machines getting them ready.

:04:27.:04:30.

There is also a maintenance schedule to make sure everything is safe

:04:31.:04:35.

on that machine so they are doing a lot of the checks on there before

:04:36.:04:38.

we hand it over from maintenance teams to the operation teams.

:04:39.:04:42.

It is estimated it will be another ten years before enough radioactive

:04:43.:04:46.

material is removed to put Wylfa into what's called

:04:47.:04:48.

another 100 years before the site can be cleared.

:04:49.:04:55.

Over time, the buildings here will reduce in size

:04:56.:04:59.

but it will be a long time before Wylfa disappears

:05:00.:05:02.

Football and the Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints set

:05:03.:05:09.

a new world record tonight for the most consecutive wins

:05:10.:05:12.

in top-flight football with a 2-0 victory at Cefn Druids.

:05:13.:05:18.

TNS now end Ajax's 44-year hold on the record,

:05:19.:05:22.

Let's get the New Year weather - Derek's got the forecast.

:05:23.:05:31.

In Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, the

:05:32.:05:36.

misty and murky in places, some poor visibility,

:05:37.:05:42.

temperatures generally well above freezing,

:05:43.:05:45.

so we're not expecting any frost.

:05:46.:05:47.

Then, for tomorrow, a grey, misty start in places,

:05:48.:05:50.

generally dry with plenty of cloud but some brighter spells,

:05:51.:05:54.

some sunshine in the north and feeling mild up

:05:55.:05:58.

to 11C with a south-westerly breeze.

:05:59.:06:00.

Then for New Year's Eve night, there is rain on

:06:01.:06:04.

the way, spreading its way southeastwards.

:06:05.:06:07.

Some heavy bursts of rain and a little snow

:06:08.:06:09.

That rain will clear away on New Year's Day, then it will dry

:06:10.:06:13.

and brighten up, some sunshine, but feeling

:06:14.:06:15.

cold with a north wind, a few wintry showers as well.

:06:16.:06:18.

So a change on the way for the start of the New Year.

:06:19.:06:22.

From all of us on the programme, happy New Year.

:06:23.:06:25.

Good evening. Looking ahead to 2017 it looks like we will start off on a

:06:26.:06:44.

cold note. This weather front will move south in the next day or so

:06:45.:06:50.

bringing rain with it, but also much colder air following a lull behind.

:06:51.:06:51.
