Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: Charged with spying. The | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
cameraman from Carmarthenshire held by militia in Libya. His sister | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:19. | ||
says the claims are nonsense. not regard him as a spy in any way | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
shape or form. He is just my younger brother. He has only just | :00:23. | :00:33. | |

started out in this in the end of The star of Dad's Army, The Life | :00:47. | :00:49. | |

Phillip Madoc, has died. The darker side of the cannabis | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
trade. Police highlight the violence and exploitation it | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
involves. Will pink street lights really | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
deter rowdy teenagers from loitering where they shouldn't? | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
And Luke Charteris is called back into the Wales squad for the game | :01:15. | :01:25. | |

Good evening. The sister of a cameraman from Carmarthen who's | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
been charged with spying in Libya has described the allegation as | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
nonsense. Gareth Montomery-Johnson was working for Iran's state | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
broadcaster, Press TV, when he was detained by militia in the capital | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Tripoli more than two weeks ago. We'll talk to our correspondent | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
there in a minute, but first this report from Matt Murray. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
At a hastily convened press conference in Libya's capital, the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
militia detaining the two journalists showed the media | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
photographs and footage which they say proves the two men were spying. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
This video footage supposedly shows cameraman Gareth Montgomery-Johnson | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
and reporter Nicholas Davies test- firing weapons. Members of the | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
militia also produced a field dressing they say they found on the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
journalists and they believe it to be the type used by the Israeli | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
military. Mr Montgomery-Johnson's sister, Mel Gribble, from | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Pontargothi near Carmarthen, says there's nothing in these | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
:02:26. | :02:27. | ||
accusations. We emphatically don't regard him as a spy in any way | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
shape or form. They are very upset and withdrawn. They are under a lot | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
of scrutinised Asian and the fingers being pointed at them | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
constantly. -- scrutinise Asian. It's believed the two journalists | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
were filming in Tripoli's Martyr's Square when they were detained by | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the Misrata brigade. They were working for Iran's English language | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
TV station, Press TV. Gareth Montgomery-Johnson has been working | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
for them since June last year. Dr Suleiman Fortia, a member of | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Libya's ruling National Transitional Council, says the | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
group holding the man have the councils backing. He's concerned | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
with the material supposedly found on the journalists' laptops. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Journalists usually come to the country with a visa and come under | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
no organisation. It is not a normal activity for regionalist to scan | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
snipers and put them in the computer. It was just over a year | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
ago that protests in Libya turned into a revolt that eventually | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
toppled Gadaffi's dictatorship. Now, the power rests, to a large extent, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
not with the interim government or the National Transitional Council, | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
but with a patchwork of armed militias. It is a very unstable | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
situation. There are a lot of militia groups. Given the situation, | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
:04:07. | :04:07. | ||
I think they are being used as a bargaining tool. The militia are | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
trying to secure a more power Gareth's father, Philip, spoke to | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
him just yesterday. He says his son was doing a job he loved and may be | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
without a visa. When he went to Libya, it was when the war was on | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
and nobody was getting visas. Foreign Office say they are | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
providing consular assistance. And the Libyan embassy is doing all it | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
can. Gabriel Gatehouse is the BBC's | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
correspondent in Tripoli. What do we know of the group who are | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:45. | ||
holding him? The leader of the group is not an easy man to get on | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
with. I met him last week and when I asked him questions about the | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
journalists, I was met with very short shrift. He has admitted that | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
he has got them. The book -- the brigade itself comes from the city | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
of Misurata. Some of this man's brigades have been accused in | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
recent months of going after people they suspect of loyalty to Colonel | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Gaddafi. Both the British Embassy and the man himself say that the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
two journalists are being treated well but as to who he answers to, | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
:05:29. | :05:33. | ||
where Aston -- when I asked him, he said he was. What is being done to | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
secure his release? Behind the scenes, the British embassy is | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
working away despite the very innocuous statements we are getting | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
from the Foreign Office. They say they are aware that two men have | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
been arrested. There are negotiations going on behind the | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
scenes. Human rights groups have also been working on it although | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
with limited success. Then there is the government. I have been in | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
touch with the Interior Ministry and the Prime Minister's office | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
here. The Interior Ministry say they want this group to hand them | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
over into official custody. If they did that, the two men would be | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
deported. Tributes have been paid to the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
actor Philip Madoc, who's died after a short illness. He was 77. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
The Merthyr Tydfil born star was best known for his title role in | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the Life & Times of David Lloyd George and as Detective Noel Bain | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
in A Mind To Kill. But he also played his part in one of comedy's | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
:06:50. | :06:55. | ||
classics. Immediately recognisable for his | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
deep, resonant voice, Philip Madoc began his television career in the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
early 60s, eventually becoming a familiar face in programmes like Z | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Cars and the Last Of the Mohicans in the 70s. One of his smallest | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
roles is probably his most widely seen as the U-boat captain in an | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
episode of Dad's Army. Your name will also go on the list. What is | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
it? A don't tell him Pike. But the BBC Wales series, The Life & Time | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
of David Lloyd George, in 1981 made him a household name. He was a very | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
intelligent actor and an intelligent person. When he played | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
David Lloyd George, you knew that he had immersed himself in the life | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
of David Lloyd George. He would embody the man. Twenty five years | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
on in 2006, he told me how he remembered those days with | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
affection. A great experience. A great company to work with. It was | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
a splendid production. The script was so clever. It spoke for itself. | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
All my memories of those days are a good part of my life. In the late | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
90s he played DCI Noel Bain in A Mind To Kill, making English and | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Welsh language versions of the series. Philip Madoc leant his | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
support to a group of young filmmakers from Wrexham to help | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
them produce this fantasy drama called Hawk which was released last | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
:08:39. | :08:40. | ||
year. His former wife, joined the trip is to him. He had a wonderful | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
voice and a lot of charisma. In those days, we were all given very | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :09:00. | ||
good voice projection lessons. Reflecting on a career where he | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
played many villains, Philip Madoc said he thought they were the best | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
parts. The 77-year-old died after a short illness at a hospital in | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Hertfordshire. His son Rhys and daughter Lowri, from his earlier | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
marriage to Ruth Madoc, were with him. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
John Hefin directed The Life and Times of David LLoyd George, a lead | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
role that won Phllip Madoc a legion of fans. He's is our studio in | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
:09:30. | :09:31. | ||
Aberystwyth. What was he like to work with? He had a God-given voice. | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
It was fantastic. He was given a rare intelligence. He spoke about a | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
dozen languages. He was a joy to work with. We used to go to the | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
sets together and it was a nine hours series and we spent a lot of | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
time together. We never ever quarrelled. I thought he would be | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
going over the lines because he had huge chunks of Lloyd George's | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
finest or a tree. I looked over and he was doing a crossword. He had | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
worked it all out. He was a perfectionist. And a great friend. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
My feelings go out to his family. How will you remember him? | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
remember him warmly because he was the epitome to me of his Merthyr | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
background. He had that rare intelligence and I will remember | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:48. | ||
him as a thinking actor. One who brought to every part a charisma | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
and an intelligence. He was a good team player as well as being a very | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
:11:06. | :11:14. | ||
powerful lead player. The latest in a series of public | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
meetings over the future of Bronglais Hospital will be held in | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Llanidloes tonight. Earlier, a meeting was held in Machynlleth to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
discuss concerns that services at the hospital could be downgraded. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
The Welsh Government says there are no plans to do that. Meanwhile, the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Hywel Dda Health Board has announced it will extend its | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
"listening exercise" until the end of April. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Does your partner have a history of domestic violence? Gwent Police is | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
one of four forces in Wales and England to pilot a scheme where | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
people will be able to find out. It's called Clare's Law, after | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Clare Wood, who was killed by a former boyfriend. Leading domestic | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
violence charity, Refuge, says disclosure is not the best way to | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
help victims. Kate Scott-Williams reports. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Georgie O' Gara was a victim of domestic violence. Now, she helps | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
other victims in Torfaen. Georgie supports anything that raises the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
profile of domestic abuse but says in her case, Clare's Law wouldn't | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
have made any difference. A lot of perpetrators have not a previous | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
convictions. My ex husband had gone through previous abusive | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
relationships but if you believe them. They're very plausible. By | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
the time you get to being abused, you don't feel you are in a - and | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
abusive relationship. The scheme has been named after Clare Wood | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
from Greater Manchester, who was murdered by a former boyfriend with | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
:12:46. | :12:47. | ||
a violent background. If you ask him, have you done this, you might | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
not get a straight answer. It is good for women, especially young | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
:13:03. | :13:05. | ||
girls. Her father has since campaigned for people to be able to | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
find out from police if their partner has a violent past. Now, | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
four police forces in Wales and England will pilot such a scheme. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
People will have the right to ask if they have convictions on their | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
record. Secondly, it is also the right to know which means that the | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
police service will take a proactive response and the police | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
will make a disclosure. Refuge has said the money would be better | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
spent on improving how police respond to calls for help. Police | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
were criticised after the death of Joanna Michael, who was stabbed to | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
death by her ex-boyfriend in St Mellons. Police took more than 20 | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
minutes to respond to her 999 messages and a call handler was | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
sacked. The scheme will last for one year and then the police will | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
decide whether it has been successful. If it's thought the | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
scheme has worked well, it could be extended further. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
The police in North Wales are stepping up their efforts to shut | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
down cannabis farms. In Operation Broadley, they will be linking up | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
with forces in the north west of England. The move follows | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
increasing concern that many people who grow cannabis are linked with | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
organised criminal gangs. It is the scale of what the police | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
are finding which has prompted this attack on cannabis production. This | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
farm was in Bangor and thousands of plants worth millions of pounds. It | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
was a sophisticated operation. The gang leaders even provided sleeping | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
accommodation for the growers. In this case, the leader was jailed | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
for nine years. Cannabis farms are turning up all over the place. More | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
often than not, the neighbours have no idea what is going on. The | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
police regional crime unit is stepping in. These gangs which are | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
moving into cannabis cultivation in a way we have not seen before means | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
that their involvement brings significant amount of harm. We have | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
individuals involved in firearms criminality under the kind of drugs | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
crime and violence and -- intimidation. These are the kinds | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
of people who are involved in cannabis production. The police say | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
they will raid suspect premises and the what the public to act as their | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
eyes and ears. We have instructions to let the rear of this building. | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
Identifying a drugs farm is not easy. This chartered so via | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
unwittingly let this unit to a cannabis gang. We were aware that | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
there was an issue with cannabis farms but it did not strike us that | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
anything as sophisticated as this operation was taking place. We are | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
:16:18. | :16:19. | ||
far more on guard now with regards to occupiers and their intentions. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
There is the potential for this to become a bigger problem. Tighter | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
border controls me it can now be easier to grow cannabis here and | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
smuggle the drug in. They have been many arrests and the police suggest | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
there will be more. Much more to come before 7:00pm: A | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
whole orchestra to perform his music. Not bad at the age of just | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
And Penarth's Ieuan Lloyd is among three Welsh swimmers hoping tonight | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :16:56. | ||
Police and council officials in Cardiff have come up with a novel | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
idea to tackle anti-social behaviour on some of the city's | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
estates. Pink florescent lighting which highlights teenage acne may | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
be installed. In other parts of Britain, where it has been tried, | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
it's proved to be a useful deterrent. Nick Palit has the story. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Could this humble light be the answer to tackling anti-social | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
behaviour? The authorities will be tickled pink if it is. Apparently, | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
the glow from these is rather unflattering to teenage complexions | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
and on this housing estate in Nottinghamshire it's been used to | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
:17:36. | :17:36. | ||
great effect. A lot of tenants are surprised how well it has worked | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
because it shows up all the blemishes. Males don't like it | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
because it is pink. They will not congregate underneath it. It is a | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
very good deterrent. It's also been trialled by Police at Preston in | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
Lancashire and could now be coming to parts of Cardiff. It is outside | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
shops like this where much of the nuisance occurs. In the last six | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
weeks, police have issued 18 anti- social orders outside these shops | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
and have made five arrests so these shops are a prime candidate for | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
this pink lighting scheme. I feel for the residents living here. | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
Whatever we can do to make a difference, I am prepared to try. | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
It sheds light on skin blemishes and four people have a particular | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
age, it is less pleasant to hang around Sydney areas with that | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
lighting. But in the Fairwater and Pentrebane areas, where it's likely | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
to be used, the idea was ridiculed. The acne will go. I am treating my | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
face every day. We don't want any pink lights! It is a ridiculous | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
idea. It would put children off whatsoever. Hideous. Let's help the | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
kids. Let's find them something to do. The pink light still hasn't got | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
the green light, but if it's introduced, it'll hopefully calm | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
the troubled spots of Cardiff. Sport now and three Welsh swimmers | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
are trying to book their places in the British Olympic team this | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
evening. Ashleigh's here with tonight's sport. | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Thanks Jamie. Good evening. Yes, races already underway at the | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Olympic Aquatic Centre in London this evening. News of that very | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
shortly. But first rugby, and lock Luke Charteris has been added to | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Wales' Six Nations squad ahead of this weekend's match against Italy. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
He made a successful comeback for the Dragons on Saturday after a 4 | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
month lay-off. It was his first game since the | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
World Cup. Luke Charteris had waited a while for this moment | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
after a wrist operation. Fitness and work-rate was one of the things | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
that made the giant lock first choice for Wales during the World | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Cup and after playing the full 80 minutes for the Dragons against | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Munster, the Wales coaching team clearly felt he was ready to return | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
to the fold for their last two matches in the Six Nations. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
acquitted himself very well in his first game back. He will be very | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
pleased to get through that first game. It is a nervous time when you | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
have been out for a long period of time. To come through it was the | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
main part of the day. Centre Jamie Roberts is the only major injury | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
doubt ahead of Saturday's game against Italy. He hurt his knee | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
against England but trained for the first time since Twickenham this | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
afternoon. Wales are now the only team that can win a Grand Slam | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
after Ireland held France to a draw in Paris yesterday afternoon. But | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
several teams can still top the Six Nations Championship so there's | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
still been a real focus for Wales, even in a week without a game. | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
few boys have gone back to play for the regions. The rest of us were | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:04. | ||
back in training. We had a few days off. We've had a lot of fitness | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
training to top up. It was nice to get a couple of days' break before | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
the mayhem starts. Wales' recent success at international level has | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
been a welcome distraction from problems at regional level. A full | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
financial review of the way the Welsh game is run is currently | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
being compiled. The idea of central contracts for players has not been | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
dismissed in principle, as Wales tries to stop the drain of its best | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
talent abroad. A more centralised approach is required. I have never | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
hidden my thoughts on this for the six years I have been here. I've | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
always felt we got to come together and we have to be joined up. | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
man who won't be playing his club rugby in Wales next season is | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Scarlets number eight Ben Morgan. He'll join Gloucester next season | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
on a three year deal, where he'll hope to further his international | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
ambitions with England. Football, and Swansea City have | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
opted not to appeal against the red card shown to Nathan Dyer in | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Saturday's 2-0 victory at Wigan. Manager Brendan Rodgers described | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
the decision as harsh. But Dyer will now be suspended for three | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
matches, including next Saturday's visit of Premier League leaders | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Manchester City. Elsewhere, Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay insists | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
his team are not suffering from a Carling Cup hangover, despite their | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
2-0 home defeat to West Ham. The Bluebirds have now slipped to | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
eighth in the Championship after four losses in their last five | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
league games. They face seventh placed Brighton on Wednesday. And | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
in the Conference, Wrexham stay second after Jamie Tolley's free- | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
kick gave them a 1-0 win at Kettering. Newport County are 17th | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:47. | ||
after a 1-1 draw at Southport. Now to the aquatic centre where the | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
British trials have got under way. Penarth teenager Ieuan Lloyd | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
finished second in the final of the men's 200 metre freestyle but | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
outside the qualifying time. He will have other chances to try and | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
make it later in the year. It is a very busy night at the Olympic Park. | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Georgia Davies will go in the finals of the women's 100 metres | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
backstroke. Jazz Carlin from Swansea qualified for the final of | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
the women's 200 metre freestyle after finishing third in her semi- | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
final a bit earlier round. The London Olympics aren't all | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
about sport. The Cultural Olympiad, which coincides with the Games, are | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
already underway. And last night saw the world premiere of a piece | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
of music composed by Lloyd Coleman, a 19-year-old from Bridgend, who's | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
partially blind and deaf. It's the culmination of 18 months of hard | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
work, as Kate Morgan explains. At 35 minutes long, with a full | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
orchestra, this is Lloyd Coleman's biggest piece of music. As part of | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
the Cultural Olympiad, the Royal Academy of Music student was asked | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
:24:06. | :24:06. | ||
to create a brand new orchestral It's called "Breaking the Wall" and | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
tells the story of the physical and mental challenges athletes face. | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
For Lloyd, it's also about overcoming personal obstacles. He's | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
partially blind and deaf. And as it's all about the Olympics, he | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
found his inspiration at the home of the games. It is based on the | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:42. | ||
Greek legend. It is a tale of courage and bravery and | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
extraordinary say. The funding has also paid for the 19-year-old to | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
have the best possible mentors. Including Larry Ashmore, famed for | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
working on the music of the Harry Potter films. And the influence | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:03. | ||
shows. It is real film music. It has those wonderful broad melodies | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
and very striking rhythmic sections. And for the composer from Bridgend, | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
hearing the world premiere of his work by the BBC's National | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
Orchestra of Wales has made the hard work worth while. They were my | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
local orchestra when I was growing up and have them playing my own | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
music is a joy and an honour. Spring is here, but not for long. | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:43. | ||
As far as the weather is concerned, it is less spring-like than last | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
week. Temperatures reached 17 degrees last Tuesday but today they | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
did not get into double figures. It feels colder, especially by night. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Some rain in the forecast this week but bright and breezy at times. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Tonight, largely dried and because it is so clear, temperatures will | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
drop. A few mist and fog patches with temperatures falling to near | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
freezing near the border. A frosty start tomorrow with some mist and | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
it will turn into a dry and fine morning. This tension becomes hazy | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
as cloud thickens from the West during the day. It is staying | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
warmer where we keep the sun go longest. -- For honest. Westerly | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
winds pick up tomorrow night and we can see from the pressures start | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
front lining up waiting to bring some wet and windy conditions | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. That band of rain is | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
pushed in by those brisk winds on Wednesday followed by scattered | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
showers and brighter spells as the system clears eastwards. So a | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
changeable week to come. Wetter at times on Wednesday and then it | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
:27:11. | :27:11. | ||
turns drier and milder for Thursday and Friday. This is today's picture. | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
Frogs in the pond is one of the first signs of spring. Thank you | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
first signs of spring. Thank you for the picture. | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
X-Ray's coming up in half an hour. Here's Lucy with a preview. We'll | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
be looking into the companies that ring you up and tell you they can | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
claim back insurance for a fee. We'll be hearing about the case of | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
mistaken identity which left one man being chased for debts he never | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
owed and we're back on the road with a problem Peugeot's. See you | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
at 7:30pm. We'll have an update for you here | :27:52. | :27:56. |
