Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
Fans' tributes to Mike Dye, a devoted Cardiff City and Wales | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
supporter. He died following a reported assault before last | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:22. | ||
night's match at Wembley. To lose your life at a football match like | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
this is awful. Fans have been coming here all day | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
leaving flowers and flags and their own personal tributes. Tonight | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:39. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 290 seconds | :00:39. | :05:29. | |
police are still questioning six The channel is about to appoint a | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
permanent chief executive. Remind us what this report was. S4C's | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
problems are pretty well documented. There was a lot of criticism of the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
management of the Channel. They lost their chief executive, the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
chair of the authority, and in an attempt to bring things back to an | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
even keel, the authorities asked an academic to write a report for them | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
spelling out what was going wrong and what they needed to change. He | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
is deputy director of the University of Wales's global | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
academy. The report was leaked to the Western Mail. It said the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
channel needed to tackle the culture of fear and suspicion. The | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
university has launched an investigation into the leak. A | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
member of staff has been suspended, not the author, I should make clear. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
But S4C were not simply an acute with the Lea, they were unhappy | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
with the content. There was a face- to-face meeting at the Eisteddfod | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
in Wrexham. The temporary chief executive of S4C was there. He is | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
also on the Council of the University of Wales. The Vice | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Chancellor of the university was there. It was made clear they were | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
unhappy with the contempt. I will read out for you a part of a S4C's | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
statement. No pressure has been brought to bear on Mr Turner by | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
S4C2 issue any kind of public statement or in any way to dilute | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
the report. That is what S4C says. And the timing is difficult. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
tears, because in the next fortnight, they will be appointing | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
a new chief executive so they don't want this turbines now. I should | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
also say the University of Wales say they do not comment on matters | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
between themselves and their clients. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
The Wales Audit Office has written to Pembrokeshire council telling | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
them it will hold a special investigation into their affairs. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
It follows a response to two critical reports on its child | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
protection policies. The Office says it highlighted weaknesses in | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
the council's corporate governance. It says they were of such a scale | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
and significance there is a risk the castle is failing to comply | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
with legal requirements. One of the three men wrongly | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
convicted of murdering Lynett White has described his life since as a | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
nightmare. Stephen Miller broke down in tears as he told a jury in | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Swansea how he felt when he discovered his girlfriend had been | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
killed. He said he always co- operated with police later charged | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
him with her murder. Eight former police officers deny conspiracy to | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
pervert the course of justice. The NHS in Wales has been given the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
go-ahead to use private hospitals to use -- cut waiting times for | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
orthopaedic surgery. The Welsh government says local health boards | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
should explore all possible ways of meeting targets. The previous | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
government without the use of the private sector in the NHS. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
A father whose daughter was killed in a road accident in which three | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
other teenagers died has successfully sued the driver of the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
cart for psychiatric injury. Terry Jones says he has lived a life of | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
hell since 16-year-old daughter was killed in a crash on a mountain | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:00. | ||
road near Ebbw Vale in 2006. They were described as firm friends. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
They were 15 and 16 years old. They were at school together in Ebbw | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
Vale up. One cold November night in 2006, on a mountain road high above | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
the town, the car they were travelling in left the road and | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
crashed, killing them all. Craig Renshaw was at the wheel. He | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
survived and in 2007 was convicted of careless driving. In the years | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
since his daughter's death, Terry Jones says his family has struggled | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
to cope. If you come across something which is a trigger to the | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
death of Louise, for instance, something special, you will break | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
down. I suppose it is so hurtful in your mind, with this post-traumatic | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
stress disorder, that when these triggers are pressed, that is all | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
you really do is die. In June, his case against Craig Bramshaw reached | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
court. A psychiatrist told the hearing he was suffering from post- | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
traumatic stress disorder. Now a judge has awarded him a �25,000 in | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
damages. That is what the case was all about, getting that post- | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
traumatic stress disorder recognised by the court, by someone | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
important like that, because we have been told this is nothing new. | :10:25. | :10:34. | |
The just buried grief. solicitors now has 28 days to | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :11:03. | ||
It is a race against time. Staff at an RSPCA centre are working to save | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the lives of hundreds of seabirds. The birds, mainly Manx Shearwater, | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
are being treated at it wildlife centre. Staff hope to release them | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
into the wild soon. It may look painful, but this is | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
tough love for birds who would have no chance of survival on their own. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
Stormy seas in west Wales, and RSPCA volunteers are literally | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
pulling the young seabirds from the water. They have attempted their | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
annual migration to South America, but were battered by a strong winds, | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
and in the end were too exhausted to fly. So they were boxed up, | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
nearly 250 of them, and sent the RSPCA's rescue centre in Somerset. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Today, they will all be individually weighed and hand fed | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
:12:10. | :12:11. | ||
false stop they do not feed in captivity. They are all tube fed. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
What are their chances of survival? It should be really good. These are | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
strong birds, and we have not found any with horrendous injuries. So | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
they should be OK. This is quite a logistical operation, but I know | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:42. | ||
you have seen this before. We have. It is at large numbers, but we are | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
used to it. It is now a matter of building up the bird's strength | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
before they can set free. Farmers, families and 3,000 sheep | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
were out in force for the opening a new light stock market. For more | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
than a century, this village has held a fortnightly Sheba March. The | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
Newmarket promises to usher in a The first visitors to the new | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
livestock market at Crymych had very little to say for themselves, | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
but for everyone else it was the talk of the village. It was only | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
when the trailers pulled up and the pens filled up that the size of the | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
site could really be appreciated. It's twice as big as the old market | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
- fit for the 21st century. It is a first class sheep Centre. It is an | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
excellent facility. It is an excellent building. It is brilliant. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
The market has been a feature of life in the village for more than a | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
century. Back in 1908, local farmers and businessmen founded the | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Market Hall Company with the aim of building a hall large enough to | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
host a market. And this was the building they came up with. Before | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
long it had moved to a bigger site and the reason that's now empty is | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
because it's been sold to the council to make room for a health | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
centre. That sale paved the way for the construction of this brand new | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
market just north of the village. The market company which has been | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
in existence for 100 years was set up by local farmers who put money | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
in as shareholders to help the trade within the agriculture | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
industry at that time. We still feel that is important both for the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
company and the village. And at official opening today, there were | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
plenty of people who agreed. It is a good time at the moment. I think | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
we forget that prices are good, exports are increasing, we have got | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
opportunities to look for new markets and build for what is for | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Wales and essential industry. the cheers died down, there was | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
business to be done. It's hoped this new market will continue to | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
attract farmers from Pembrokeshire and beyond, and even the sheep seem | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
pleased at that. 63,000 households in South Wales | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
will be offered personalised travel advice in a bid to cut the number | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
of cars used for short journeys like the school run. It's the start | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
of a �4 million scheme by the Welsh Government to reduce the number of | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
cars on our roads by at least 10%. People living in Cardiff and | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Penarth will be the first to try out the scheme, which will then be | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
rolled out across Wales. This is one way we believe we can | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
encourage people to use different modes of transport. A healthier way, | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
a quicker way and a more sustainable way of travelling | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
across Wales. But there are concerns that public | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
transport may not be suitable for every family and every journey. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
These parents said they had no choice but to take the car. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
Where I live, there is a bus route, but not to hear. It is a three-mile | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
journey so there is no public transport until later on in the | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
morning. My boy would be late for school so I have to use the car. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
75 years ago tomorrow, these three men set fire to an aerodrome at | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Penyberth near Pwllheli. They were angry that the feelings of some | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
local people against plans to build a Bombing School were ignored. It's | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
now seen as one of the most important events in recent Welsh | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
history and an important milestone in the development of Plaid Cymru. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Rhodri Lewis has more. These fields near Pwllheli are best | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
known today as the location of the huge music and watersports festival | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
Wakestock, but 75 years ago they were close to the site of a much | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
more controversial activity. This BBC Wales drama shows what happened | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
when the Government decided to establish a Bombing School for the | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
RAF at Penyberth. Three men, DJ Williams, Lewis Valentine and | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Saunders Lewis, were so angry that ministers in London had set up the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
aerodrome in the teeth of local hostility that on September 8th | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
1936, they burned it to the ground. The three were tried at Caernarfon | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
but when the jury failed to reach a verdict they were tried again at | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
the Old Bailey in London and jailed for nine months. Historians say | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
Penyberth was a major step in the development of Plaid Cymru. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
membership of Plaid Cymru was a very small. It was under 3,000 in | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
1936. It grew by over 1,000 in the wake of the bombing School episode. | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
Several new brushes were set up. -- branches. Though the three were | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
revered by many for what they did, speaking in 1960, Saunders Lewis | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :18:01. | ||
said he felt the campaign had Stanley Jones from Nefyn was 13- | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
years-old in 1936. He says many people in the area wanted the | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
bombing school because it would bring jobs. There has been | :18:13. | :18:22. | |
unemployment for years and years. They welcomed it. But the others | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
were educated people really. They could foresee what was going to | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
happen. Today, the site is a caravan park, but there is a simple | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
memorial on the gate. Wales has changed substantially in three | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
quarters of a century. But the memory of the three men who took a | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
stand still lives on. Sport now, and as we've already | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
heard, Wales' match against England was overshadowed by the death of | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
fan Mike Dye last night. After the game, manager Gary Speed said he | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
was proud of his team despite the 1-0 defeat at Wembley. Wales did | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
create opportunities to earn at least a draw, the best chance | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
falling to Robert Earnshaw, who should have equalised with this | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
attempt. Nine times out of 10 you take them | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
away. It is just one of those things. You have got to pick your | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
head up and carry on. Like I said, the bigger picture is making those | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
chances. I am glad I got that chance and I will take it again | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
every single day. Hopefully things will come along and we will get | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
better and better. We are scoring loads of goals instead of relying | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
on the one chance. National sporting hero Dai Greene | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
is back in Wales with his gold medal after that incredible race at | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
the World Athletics Championships. The Llanelli hurdler's going to | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
take a break later this month before starting his preparations to | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
win an Olympic gold - the only major medal he doesn't currently | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
own. He's been speaking to our sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Brilliant to see you. What has your life be like since you arrived back | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
as a world champion? I have had a lot more phone calls and text | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
messages than usual. A lot of people saying well done. It has not | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
sunk in yet and I'm sure it will go on for a few weeks more. Before the | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
race, you said you were the man to beat. We do you get this self- | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
confidence from? It comes from the fact that they do everything in my | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
power to be in the best physical shape for a competition. I trained | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
really hard. Last year gave me a lot of confidence. The knock backs | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
I have had in the past has made me mentally stronger. And I have got | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
good people around me who keep me grounded. It is important not to | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
get carried away and believe your own hype. But my confidence comes | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
from hard work. If I did not do the hard work, I would not be saying | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
these things. For inevitably, the focus will now switch to next year | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
and I guess you could say you are probably one race away from being | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
the greatest Welsh athlete of all time. I have one every competition | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
apart from the Olympics so that is all I need to complete the set. In | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
a few weeks I will start back in training and it is going to be the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
biggest competition of my career to date. A Home Olympics is going to | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
be huge, there will be so much support there, and I am desperate | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
for that gold medal. I can say I have achieved everything in the | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
sport then. You carry the hopes of a nation with you in South Africa - | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
- South Korea. How does it feel to have a 3 million people watching | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
your every move now? It is great. I loved all the messages I had. It is | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
great getting all that recognition for all the hard work I have done | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
over the years. When you see people saying they were almost in tears at | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
the end watching the race, it is great to be that person that brings | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
them so much happiness. It is great for the nation of Wales and I am | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
just very proud to be Welsh and representing the country, bringing | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
home medals. It is not get any better. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
The Rugby World Cup kicks off on Friday in New Zealand. Wales' first | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
match is on Sunday against South Africa, with fly half Stephen Jones | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
set to miss out because of injury. That means Warren Gatland will need | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
to choose between James Hook and Rhys Priestland for the number ten | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
jersey when he names his team to face the world champions on Friday. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
It has been unfortunate for Stephen Jones with what has happened over | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
the summer, but James Hook is one of our best players and some of the | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
stuff he can do, you look at him in training and you have got to say, | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
that is special. I don't know how the coaches are going to make their | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
decisions on selection so I have got to do my best in training and | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
see what they think. Glamorgan's cricketers didn't | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
manage to bowl a single ball in their match with Middlesex because | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
of heavy showers in Cardiff. Derek, do we all still need to keep our | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
I think so. Usually when the children go back to school the | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
weather improves but it is going to remain unsettled this week. At the | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
weather station in Mid Wales, over 120 mm of rain has fallen over the | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
past few days. A few rivers remain swollen. Tonight will bring more | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
cloud, and breaks of rain and drizzle, particularly for Mid-Wales, | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
the West. The strongest winds bond exposed coast. Tomorrow's chart | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
shows low pressure over the Atlantic. That is pushing a warm | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
front towards us. But these will bring some rain and in today's | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
moist and humid air. Tomorrow morning, for the South, a form -- | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
fairly cloudy skies. Quite breezy to on the coast. It is a similar | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
story through Powys. However, parts of North Wales may start of tried, | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
at least for a time, with a fresh breeze. A good deal of cloud | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
tomorrow. Limited brightness. Rain and drizzle on and off. The rain | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
may become more widespread and heavy later on in the afternoon. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
The wind lighter than today with a top temperature of 90 degrees | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
Celsius. In Carmarthenshire, some rain at times. Tomorrow evening, | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
rain will spread north-east words followed by damp, murky and humid | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
conditions. Friday will be a drier day on the whole. Low cloud, missed | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
and hill fog with spots of drizzle, but hopefully brighter skies for | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
North Wales. The weekend looks a very changeable indeed. Some heavy | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
rain, blustery showers, strong to gale force winds as well, but I can | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
promise you some sunshine. Next week we have got the remains of | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Hurricane Katia to deal with. She will be over the mid-Atlantic on a | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Sunday. We are not sure the exact track she will take at the moment | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
so it is worth taking a close eye on the forecast. Our picture today | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
is of a stormy sea. It will not be as rough as that tomorrow but there | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
Well, it's autumn, the nights are closing in, it must be time for the | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
return of Strictly Come Dancing. Three Welsh celebrities are putting | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
on their sequins this year. Robbie Savage, Russell Grant and Alex | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
Jones are all taking part. Rebecca John reports. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
They may dress down in training, but this weekend there won't be a | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
tracksuit in sight for the launch of the ninth series of Strictly | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
Come Dancing. The line up was announced on The One Show last | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
night. I feel so nervous and so sec. We have only had two days of | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
practice and my arms are raking. She might be nervous but Alex Jones | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
will be hoping to do as well as her co-presenter Matt Baker who was | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
last year's runner up. Also slipping on his dancing shoes will | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
be the former Wales footballer Robbie Savage. I am not a very good | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
dancer. I know a lot of football fans don't like me. I dithered and | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
the idea that and I decided to do it. Robbie Savage follows in the | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
fancy footsteps of a line of Welsh sportsmen. Colin Jackson won the | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Christmas special. But Joe Calzaghe and Gavin Henson had mixed fortunes | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
on the show. Not known for his athleticism, the astrologer Russell | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
Grant is likely to make a big impression this series. Not enough | :26:56. | :27:04. | |
pulling. As you can see, I have got a bit of glitter in my training top. | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
When in Rome. The glitter ball will start spinning at 6:10pm this | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
Saturday. A reminder of our main headline | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
tonight. A Wales football supporter died after reportedly being | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
attacked outside Wembley Stadium last night. The 44-year-old | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
suffered head injuries and a cardiac arrest. Tonight, tributes | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
have been left at Cardiff City stadium. Murder squad detectives | :27:32. | :27:37. |
