he hopes to prove the earnings

forecasts wrong.

The clear-up continues

after flooding brought disruption

0:00:180:00:20

to households and businesses

across North Wales.

0:00:200:00:23

Current waiting time targets

for cancer treatment could be

0:00:230:00:26

scrapped under plans

announced this lunchtime.

0:00:260:00:30

And it's 64 years and waiting.

0:00:300:00:32

We'll have details of the Wales team

which will try to finally beat

0:00:320:00:35

the All Blacks again.

0:00:350:00:40

the All Blacks again.

0:00:400:00:41

Good afternoon.

0:00:410:00:42

A clean-up operation is under way

after heavy flooding in parts

0:00:420:00:45

of Gwynedd and Anglesey overnight.

0:00:450:00:48

People had to be rescued

from vehicles in Bethesda -

0:00:480:00:52

and Llangefni town centre

was flooded by around

0:00:520:00:54

three feet of water.

0:00:540:00:57

Some roads and rail networks

have also been affected.

0:00:570:00:59

Our reporter Roger Pinney joins

us from Llangefni now.

0:00:590:01:02

How are things looking there?

0:01:020:01:07

How are things looking there?

0:01:070:01:10

What a difference 12 hours makes.

Apart from a few sandbags and

0:01:100:01:15

traffic cones, you wouldn't have

thought much had happened. The early

0:01:150:01:21

hours of this morning the streets

look more like rivers.

0:01:210:01:23

Torrents of water captured on mobile

phone cameras and posted on

0:01:230:01:25

social media.

0:01:250:01:26

Comments like, "I have never seen

anything like this."

0:01:260:01:29

The flooding followed the best part

of 24 hours of torrential rain.

0:01:290:01:31

This morning the clean-up.

0:01:310:01:36

The Ashworth family have

had a flood before, but

0:01:360:01:38

nothing like last night's.

0:01:380:01:41

It came through the

house, through the

0:01:410:01:43

drive, through my garage,

through everything.

0:01:430:01:47

It bubbled up under the floor.

0:01:470:01:50

Although we had sandbags, it

actually bubbled up under the floor.

0:01:500:01:52

All the homes and the small terrace

where she lives were affected.

0:01:520:01:55

The River Cefni is still high

in it is still fast flowing.

0:01:550:01:58

But nothing like it was last night.

0:01:580:02:01

What no-one bargained

for was the speed in which

0:02:010:02:04

the river rose, bursting its banks,

turning the town centre into a

0:02:040:02:07

flood plain.

0:02:070:02:09

And in Llangefni town centre

it is businesses which were flooded.

0:02:090:02:15

Owners now desperate

trying to keep trading.

0:02:150:02:16

Tracey Bevan runs an outdoor shop.

0:02:160:02:22

Tracey Bevan runs an outdoor shop.

0:02:220:02:22

She told me, even before last

night she was not able

0:02:220:02:24

to get flood insurance.

0:02:240:02:26

The insurance company have said

that we can go in to do the

0:02:260:02:29

clean-up that I haven't had any

customers in until the electrics

0:02:290:02:31

have been checked.

0:02:310:02:32

We need to make sure they are OK

before anything else.

0:02:320:02:35

I have never seen

anything like it before.

0:02:350:02:37

I have lived in Llangefni

for nearly 40 years and I

0:02:370:02:40

never thought I would see the river

Cefni burst its bank and come

0:02:400:02:43

through the town centre

like it did last night.

0:02:430:02:48

It was terrible.

0:02:480:02:49

And it wasn't just Llangefni,

the flooding was across Anglesey in

0:02:490:02:52

north-west Wales.

0:02:520:02:53

Transport has been disrupted,

roads closed, rail

0:02:530:02:54

services delayed.

0:02:540:02:56

A landslip blocked the main road.

0:02:560:03:01

Some of the damage will

take a while to repair.

0:03:010:03:09

And here today I have heard lots of

praise for the emergency services.

0:03:090:03:14

Work without them things would have

been much worse. Llangefni is open

0:03:140:03:24

for business.

Thank you very much

will stop

0:03:240:03:31

Current cancer waiting times targets

in Wales could be scrapped under

0:03:310:03:34

new plans that have just been

announced by the Health Secretary.

0:03:340:03:37

At the moment, patients follow one

of two routes to treatment depending

0:03:370:03:40

on how a cancer is found,

each with a separate

0:03:400:03:42

waiting time target.

0:03:420:03:43

It is argued a single

treatment route and target

0:03:430:03:45

could deliver better care.

0:03:450:03:49

Well, it could make a difference.

0:03:490:03:50

If it didn't, we

wouldn't bother to do

0:03:500:03:52

this because every time

you change a measure,

0:03:520:03:54

there is the inevitable criticism

for change and people

0:03:540:03:57

doubting why you are doing it.

0:03:570:03:58

But this really is

about understanding.

0:03:580:04:03

Will this help to improve

performance within the system?

0:04:030:04:07

me will have much more on that story

this evening at 6:30pm.

0:04:070:04:15

Police say they are investigating

a report of a sexual

0:04:150:04:17

assault by another man

at Caldey Island, off Tenby.

0:04:170:04:19

Officers say the allegations have

been made by one of the six original

0:04:190:04:24

victims of Father Thaddeus Kotik,

and relate to the same time period

0:04:240:04:27

between 1977 and 1987.

0:04:270:04:32

Officers say the claims

are being investigated separately.

0:04:320:04:38

A Wales-wide agreement has been

reached to scrap burial

0:04:380:04:40

and cremation fees for children.

0:04:400:04:42

The Welsh Government is making up

to £1.5 million available

0:04:420:04:44

between now and 2020

to assist local authorities.

0:04:440:04:50

Customers of Ticket Line UK

in Cardiff which is being placed

0:04:500:04:52

into liquidation are being advised

to seek a refund from

0:04:520:04:56

credit card providers.

0:04:560:04:57

A buyer is being sought

for the business which provides

0:04:570:05:00

tickets for live shows,

sporting events and day trips.

0:05:000:05:02

Increased competition has been

blamed for the company's problems.

0:05:020:05:10

Rugby, and Wales coach,

Warren Gatland, has named the side

0:05:100:05:12

to take on the world champions

New Zealand on Saturday.

0:05:120:05:16

Tomos Dafydd is at the Team

Headquarters with details

0:05:160:05:20

of who's in the starting 15.

0:05:200:05:21

Tomos...

0:05:210:05:26

Tomos...

0:05:260:05:27

It was Wales that made three changes

to the side.

It doesn't get any

0:05:270:05:36

better than this, against the All

Blacks.

0:05:360:05:43

Let's run through the starting 15:

0:05:430:05:45

Winger Hallam Amos comes

in for the injured Liam Williams.

0:05:450:05:49

Winger Hallam Amos comes

in for the injured Liam Williams.

0:05:490:05:54

With Jonathan Davies also sidelined,

Scott Williams is preferred

0:05:540:05:58

to Jamie Roberts at outside centre.

0:05:580:06:00

Roberts, who was not

in the initial squad

0:06:000:06:09

for the autumn series,

is on the bench.

0:06:090:06:15

The other change, not

enforced by injury,

0:06:150:06:18

comes at scrum half,

Rhys Webb returns.

0:06:180:06:20

Gloucester's Owen Williams

is at inside centre - his selection.

0:06:200:06:22

A hint that Wales will continue

with the more open style

0:06:220:06:25

that they showed against Australia.

0:06:250:06:28

No changes in the pack

from the Australia game.

0:06:280:06:30

That means Josh Navidi is at

open-side, winning his 6th cap.

0:06:300:06:32

With Justin Tipuric on the bench.

0:06:320:06:34

Tipuric has not played so far

this autumn because of injury.

0:06:340:06:37

Alun Wyn Jones as captain.

0:06:370:06:40

Here is what the coach had to say.

They are undefeated on this tour.

0:06:400:06:48

They had a grind outperformance. We

were excited and excited by the

0:06:480:06:57

opportunity for us. Great

atmosphere.

0:06:570:07:01

opportunity for us. Great

atmosphere.

George North will be

0:07:010:07:08

returning for Wales. . It is a

positive move.

The benefit of those

0:07:080:07:23

top players have, they are limiting

the number of games that they play

0:07:230:07:32

for the club's. The eight weeks

break in the summer...

The game is

0:07:320:07:45

live on BBC television on Saturday

afternoon. Let's pause now for the

0:07:450:07:53

weather forecast. Let's get a four

forecast now.

0:07:530:08:00

weather forecast. Let's get a four

forecast now.

0:08:000:08:02

A slight improvement in the weather

today rather than yesterday. Not as

0:08:020:08:11

west across South Wales. Some

sunshine but still some risk of a

0:08:110:08:16

few heavy showers. The good news is

that the showers will leave as the

0:08:160:08:21

afternoon goes on. A few heavy

showers across the South East later

0:08:210:08:27

on this afternoon. It is pretty

windy out there. It is feeling cold.

0:08:270:08:32

Temperatures around this time of

year eight to 11 Celsius. Tonight it

0:08:320:08:38

will remain windy. Dry and the skies

will K. -- skies were clear. A ridge

0:08:380:08:55

of high pressure, I'm not a bad day

at all but it will feel chilly. A

0:08:550:09:04

touch of frost 's first thing in the

morning. Some sunshine to enjoy and

0:09:040:09:09

then some isolated showers as we go

through the day. By the end of

0:09:090:09:12

Friday, some rain coming in to the

north and west. Eight degrees

0:09:120:09:17

Celsius. Tonight some will be wintry

as well. The temperatures getting

0:09:170:09:26

down to minus one Celsius. That will

give us a cold start to Saturday

0:09:260:09:31

morning. A ridge of high pressure

bringing a fairly settled day on

0:09:310:09:34

Saturday. The winds are coming in

from the north-west. It will feel

0:09:340:09:39

chilly again. If you are going to

the rugby, wrapped up warm and it

0:09:390:09:44

should be dry. That is the forecast.

0:09:440:09:46

That's Wales Today this lunchtime.

0:09:460:09:47

Jennifer Jones is here at 6:30pm

with this evening's programme.

0:09:470:09:50

Thanks for watching.

From all of us here, goodbye.
