He thought sharing his experience would bring closure. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
The inquiry looking into sex abuse apologises for the way | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
It always seems to happen as the Christmas getaway begins - | :00:20. | :00:39. | |
Storm Barbara raced across the country, leaving hundreds | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
of homes without power, roads blocked and ferries cancelled. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
The strongest winds, of more than 70mph, | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
were recorded on Anglesey. Ben Price reports. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Christmas shoppers braving the elements this | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
as Storm Barbara swept in, bringing high winds and torrential rain. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Lloyd Street in the town had to be closed | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
as a precaution, over fears that scaffolding on the town hall | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Further up the coast, speed restrictions on the Britannia Bridge | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
between Anglesey and the mainland, putting more strain on the | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
The high winds also affected train services in the area, | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
The strongest gust - 75mph - recorded on Anglesey. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Those winds also meant fallen trees, blocked roads and power cuts | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
for hundreds of homes across the country. | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Gusts of anything between 50-80mph have been experienced | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
in exposed parts of the country today and the storm also | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
200 in Swansea and 200 in Carmarthenshire have also been | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
without power during the course of today. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
There have also been almost 100 homes without power in Bridgend | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Western Power have had engineers across the country, trying to get | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
This school in Caernarvon felt the full force of the storm. | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
Its roof badly damaged in the high wind. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
All of a sudden there was this, the only way I can describe it is | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
an almighty roar. It was very frightening. | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
My daughter screamed. She was in her bedroom. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
I ran into her and it was over in seconds, really. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
towards the school and it was utter devastation, really. | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Half the roof had completely torn off. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Carnage, is the only way I can describe it. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Rough seas meant Irish ferries had to cancel six fast | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
sailings between Holyhead and Dublin but passengers were transferred to | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Not the best start to the festive season, but the wind and | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
rain will ease over the weekend, with the worst over for now. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Meanwhile, a family in Maesteg will spend Christmas | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
away from their home, after their insurers rejected | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
a claim to clear up ?50,000 worth of flood damage caused | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Ocaso told the Jenkins family they had not declared their house | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
Their local MP says the flood was nothing to do with the river | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
and they are giving the insurance industry a bad name. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
It is a genuine claim for a couple and a family | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
and their children, who are out of their home for Christmas. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Show some decency, I say to the company, and pay up. | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
Well, tonight, the insurance company, Ocaso says | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
it is "in discussions" with Mr Jenkins and will not | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse has carried out | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
an urgent review of its service in Wales and apologised | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to a victim of sexual abuse for the poor support he received. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
When the office opened in Wales in October, | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
a victim told our reporter that he hoped for some | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
closure by sharing his story with the inquiry. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
But he says he's "devastated" by the way he's been treated. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
Many of us have fond childhood memories of holidays by the seaside. | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Tony, not his real name, was abused on a youth summer camp | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
in Porthcawl in the '70s by the man supposed to be looking after him. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Three other men made similar accusations about the alleged | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
abuser, who was employed as a teacher by Cardiff Council. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
It was stories like Tony's that launch the independent | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
enquiry into child sex abuse, set up in 2014 by then-Home Secretary, | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Theresa May, to look at abuse allegations in private and | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
An office opened in Cardiff two months ago and survivors | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
like Tony were urged to come forward and share their stories. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
A support worker contacted Tony before | :04:41. | :04:57. | |
his appointment and he was shocked when she started | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
crying and she spoke of her own abuse. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Tony said he ended up counselling her. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
When he hung up the phone, he was devastated. | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
You are hopeful, by giving evidence, you will have some kind of closure. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
But at the moment, the wound is open. | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
It is open big-time. More than ever. | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
You cannot lock it, open it and lock it and open it | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
When the office opened in Cardiff in October | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Professor Alexis J denied the inquiry was in crisis, despite | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
her being the fourth chairwoman in two years. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
There has been criticism the remit is too broad. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
I think it has gone beyond the reach of any successful or | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
I think that is very sad for those who have witnessed | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
Because yet again, it is potentially another | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
negative outcome, as a result of their disclosures. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
An urgent review was carried out after Tony complained. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
He received an apology and the enquiry says changes have | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
been made to make sure this does not happen to anyone else. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Tony and three other men are pursuing civil claims | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
The council said it takes the allegations very seriously, | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
but cannot comment on the case while it is ongoing. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Tony has still not given his evidence, but he hopes the new | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
year will bring some closure to the memories that have | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
The Archbishop of Wales has used his Christmas message to call | :06:19. | :06:32. | |
for people to respond to events like the Brexit vote | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
and the election of Donald Trump with "tolerance and grace". | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Dr Barry Morgan says 2016 has been an extraordinary year, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
with the civil war in Syria and the growing refugee crisis | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
that "seems, at times, to be out of control". | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
There are 65 million refugees. Syria is in meltdown. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
People are torn apart in this country by the Brexit vote. | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
America has a president who has made derogatory | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
remarks about women, Mexicans and foreigners, in general. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
I say Christians ought to build bridges, not walls, | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Just a reminder for passengers planning on travelling | :07:00. | :07:19. | |
between South Wales and London from tomorrow, Paddington Station | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Arriva Trains Wales is also warning there will be disruptions, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
including no trains between Cardiff and Newport for part of the holiday, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
with services to Bridgend and the valleys also restricted. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
World Rugby, the sport's governing body, wants more information | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
about Northampton's response to George North's latest head injury. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
The Wales wing had a knock to the head during a match | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
for his club, before returning to play minutes later. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
A review this week, which found the 24-year-old should | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
have been taken off, decided not to sanction the club. | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
No chance of a white Christmas. Here is Derek with the forecast. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
We certainly felt the effects of Storm Barbara today. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
The wind strong enough to bring down one or two trees. | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
The highest wind gusts of 75mph on Anglesey and | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
in Snowdonia. Now, the worst is over. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
This yellow warning in the north-west will soon expire. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
A lot of dry weather, weather, but one of two showers. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
No frost. Too much wind for that. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Christmas Eve morning will be breezy. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
There will be a few showers around and, if you catch | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Having said that, there will be some dry weather and sunshine to look | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Across the rest of the UK, windy in the north, especially | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Lots of showers, hail and thunder. Snow on the mountains. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Further south, less windy. Drier, with some sunshine. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
More rain for Northern Ireland in the afternoon. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
Wales, tomorrow afternoon, one or two showers. | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
But some dry weather, but clouding over, with some rain | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
developing in the north and north-west. | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
But feeling chilly in the brisk south-westerly wind. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
For tomorrow night, breezy and windy. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
There will be some drizzly rain, too, | :09:04. | :09:04. | |
For Christmas Day, it is going to be mild and windy. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
There will be a few spots of drizzle, but dry weather, as well. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
However, rain will spread from the north-west during the course | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Temperatures well above average. Possibly 15 Celsius in Flintshire. | :09:15. | :09:28. | |
Boxing Day will be a lot nicer. A few showers in the north, but most | :09:29. | :09:43. | |
of us try with some sunshine. Next week, a spill of fine and sunny | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
weather, with some frost. Have a happy Christmas. | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
