A search is taking place off the coast of Ceredigion,

:00:12.:00:14.

for a 90-year-old man, who's gone missing after going out

:00:15.:00:17.

Arthur Roy Taylor was last seen at around half past

:00:18.:00:22.

nine yesterday morning - as Carys Notley reports.

:00:23.:00:27.

The joint operation between the police, coastguard

:00:28.:00:28.

Tonight at low tide that search continues.

:00:29.:00:35.

90-year-old Arthur Roy Taylor, also known as Archie,

:00:36.:00:38.

left his accommodation on Saturday morning to take his boat out to sea.

:00:39.:00:41.

The vessel was later found but he is still unaccounted for.

:00:42.:00:46.

Members of the boat club identified his boat.

:00:47.:00:51.

He is a man who is well liked in the area.

:00:52.:00:54.

He is a band leader, a vivacious fellow and very active for his age.

:00:55.:01:00.

His boat was found on Coronation Drive,

:01:01.:01:05.

with the sails up and the rudder down but no sign of Archie.

:01:06.:01:11.

One of the club members identified the boat as his and notified

:01:12.:01:14.

the police, the coastguard and then the full-scale search

:01:15.:01:16.

Mr Taylor is thought to be wearing a navy jumper and dark

:01:17.:01:22.

Dyfed Powys police are appealing for anyone with photos and video

:01:23.:01:29.

footage of the area on Saturday morning to get in touch as they may

:01:30.:01:32.

Two people have been taken to hospital after an incident

:01:33.:01:38.

at a motorbike scrambling event in Ceredigion this afternoon.

:01:39.:01:41.

It happened in the Penparc area - one person has been airlifted

:01:42.:01:44.

The other was taken to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen.

:01:45.:01:52.

Bandages that use 5G technology to detect how a wound is healing -

:01:53.:01:55.

and send messages back to doctors - could be trialled within

:01:56.:01:58.

Led by scientists at Swansea University's

:01:59.:02:04.

Institute of Life Science - the project forms part

:02:05.:02:14.

of the Swansea Bay City deal - which aims to create a 5G test hub

:02:15.:02:18.

In Wales we have a lot of expertise in the wound healing.

:02:19.:02:29.

So the future vision is of an intelligent dressing.

:02:30.:02:31.

That intelligent dressing uses nanotechnology to sense the state of

:02:32.:02:35.

The Marine Conservation Society is calling on the Welsh Government

:02:36.:02:43.

to introduce a charge on take-away containers to help reduce

:02:44.:02:45.

They say the plastic wrappers, bottles and cups not only

:02:46.:02:49.

cause a litter problem, but are harmful to wildlife.

:02:50.:02:51.

The Corona pop van was a familiar sight back in the 70s,

:02:52.:02:56.

the fizzy drinks made in the Rhondda came in glass bottles which were

:02:57.:03:02.

reused again and again, thanks to a 10p deposit.

:03:03.:03:06.

In today's throwaway society, environmentalists say a return

:03:07.:03:09.

to this system could help cut plastic waste which

:03:10.:03:12.

is causing litter and having detrimental

:03:13.:03:14.

When plastic enters the food chain, it cannot be suggested, --digested,

:03:15.:03:28.

some of it lasts for centuries, known through testing.

:03:29.:03:30.

If you think of the big animals around Britain,

:03:31.:03:33.

like the leatherback sea turtle for example, a carrier bag

:03:34.:03:35.

to them or a balloon to a sea bird looks like other things

:03:36.:03:38.

so their stomachs become full of plastic and they starve to death

:03:39.:03:41.

Some companies already reduce single use packaging.

:03:42.:03:46.

This Cardiff coffee shop offers customers the use of multiuse cups.

:03:47.:03:50.

I think it is important because it is so much waste

:03:51.:03:58.

on the high street with takeaway coffee , tea so we offer these cups.

:03:59.:04:02.

People take them and cut down on waste.

:04:03.:04:04.

Charging for a plastic carrier bags which was pioneered in Wales

:04:05.:04:06.

Environmentalists say this tax could be extended

:04:07.:04:11.

The Welsh government say they are commissioning research

:04:12.:04:14.

They say their study will focus on waste with the highest

:04:15.:04:18.

In his Easter message - the Church in Wales' lead bishop has

:04:19.:04:25.

spoken of the need for "love and hope" as "atrocities" take

:04:26.:04:27.

Highlighting the recent bombing of two Coptic churches in Egypt -

:04:28.:04:31.

the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon called on people to

:04:32.:04:34.

The problem we sometimes face is it is bad news

:04:35.:04:41.

We need to celebrate hope, goodness and

:04:42.:04:52.

love and all virtues that keep people going.

:04:53.:04:54.

And not be negative but to be full of hope.

:04:55.:04:56.

Gwynedd, the Northwest sees brightness.

:05:38.:05:48.

And into Pembrokeshire as well, more cloudy towards the east.

:05:49.:05:50.

A fairly settled story for us over the next few days
