Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's top story. The death of MI6 agent | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Gareth Williams from Anglesey may never be solved, as the coroner at | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
his inquest says he was probably killed unlawfully. His family | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
criticise MI6, saying their failures have compounded their | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
distress. Our grief is exacerbated by the failure of his employers, | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
MI6, to have taken even the most basic enquiries into his | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
:00:29. | :00:37. | ||
whereabouts and welfare. Also tonight, an embarrassing climb down | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
by the Health Minister. It's revealed she's bailed out health | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
boards after promising there would be no extra money. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Wales votes tomorrow to decide who runs vital services, so what | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
challenges will councils face? In tonight's sport, we're in the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Wrexham camp as they prepare for the play-offs, and a potential | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:16. | ||
The family of Anglesey-born code- breaker Gareth Williams has | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
criticised MI6, saying their failures have compounded their | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
distress. In a statement released after today's inquest verdict, they | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
said their grief was exacerbated by MI6 failing to report him missing. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
The coroner who led the inquest said that on the balance of | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
probabilities, Gareth Williams, who was found dead in a padlocked bag, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
was killed unlawfully, but she said she was doubtful his death would | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
ever be explained. Roger Pinney is in Pimlico in Central London | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
tonight. II was here in a flat in the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
building behind me that Gareth Williams body was found in August | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
2010. This has been the focus of the inquest. It took the coroner | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
two hours to deliver her verdict. In a full review of the evidence, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
she was critical of some witnesses. They lacked credibility, she said. | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
:02:18. | :02:18. | ||
And in her findings, she said she'd attempted to avoid speculation. And | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
MI6 officer found dead in the strangest of circumstances. If | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
anyone expected answers, they did not get them. In some respects, | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
even more questions arise now. The coroner was not evil able to | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
satisfy herself on the cause of Gareth Williams's death. Gareth | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Williams took his GCSE a primary school and A-levels at 13. By the | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
time he was 17, he graduated with a first-class degree. He went on to | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Cambridge but left because he felt there was nothing more he could eat | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
-- that they could teach him. That it took him into the world of the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Secret Intelligence Service. First in Cheltenham and then MI6. The | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
tributes at his funeral lifted the curtain on the private man in a | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
secretive profession. He was according to beat MI6 chief, hugely | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
talented. Members of his family have sat through this inquest. They | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
have believed all along that someone else was involved in Gareth | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Williams's death. Now the coroner has backed them up. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
Our Creek is exacerbated by the failure of his employers at MI6 to | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
take even the most basic inquiries as to his whereabouts and welfare. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
We are also extremely disappointed over the reluctance and failure of | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
MI6 to make available relevant information. We should like to ask | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to look into and | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:00. | ||
review how this investigation will proceed. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Has there been a conspiracy of silence? Maybe we will never know | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
for certain. At the least, this inquest has heard claims, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
potentially important evidence was kept from the police are | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
rustication. And the question remains, how did he die. The best | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
pathologist could say is it was either poisoning or suffocation. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
His body was found in a bad in the bath. The bag had been padlocked on | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
the outside. The coroner, Dr Fiona Wilcox, said she was satisfied some | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
girls had moved it to the Bath and probably looked at as well. -- | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
someone else. She said Kenneth Williams had probably been | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
:04:57. | :04:58. | ||
unlawfully killed. -- Gareth One expert believed Gareth was | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
either on can just or dead when he went into the bag. -- unconscious. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
You cannot access the lock from the outside. You can pull the material | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
together but we -- put your arms are on the chest and there is no | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
:05:24. | :05:29. | ||
room to manoeuvre. You cannot get in Loch through. -- a lock. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
investigation were now actively pursue all the evidence heard and | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
all the new lines of inquiry. It is highly likely that a third party | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
was involved in his death. I'd urge anyone who knows cannot Williams to | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
search their consciences and come forward with any information -- | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
Gareth Williams. It is not over yet. Inquests are supposed to provide | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
answers. In this case, so much remains unexplained. We've heard | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
some reaction outside court there, and we've heard more from the | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
Metropolitan Police in the last couple of hours. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
That is right. It was in response to that call from the family for an | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
inquiry into the Metropolitan Police's counter intelligence | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
command. It was a postal act as a go-between between security | :06:27. | :06:37. | |
services and people investigating It was said there would be an | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
inquiry because the force wanted to know what had gone wrong. He also | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
stressed this was an ongoing current inquiry. They have also | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
been a statement from the head of MI6. -- there has also been. He | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
apologised unreservedly for the delays in reacting to his | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
unexplained absences from work. He said that as far as his | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
organisation was concerned, lessons would be learned. Will the family | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
be satisfied with this? They are extremely private family. They have | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
avoided media contact. From at the reactors in court, and I have been | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
sitting just behind them, they have been deeply distressed -- reactions | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
in court. Naturally, what they have wanted | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
his at the truth, the full facts to come out. But we must go back to | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
that statement by the coroner, Dr Fiona Wilcox, doubting that the | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
full facts would ever come out. There's a special edition of Week | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
In Week Out, looking at the events surrounding Gareth Williams' death, | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
straight after Wales Today, at 7:00pm. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Three of Wales' NHS boards would not have broken even without a cash | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
injection of more than �12 million from the Welsh Government. The | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Health Minister, Lesley Griffith, had said that there would be no | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
extra money for boards who overspent. Opposition parties have | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
accused the Government of fantasy economics. Here's our political | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
correspondent, Aled ap Dafydd. is not about productions of | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
services, they have got the funding in place now to be able to deliver | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
the services. And that is where the accountability is. Steps will have | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
to be taken. We will have to bring in sanctions. They are going to | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
deliver a. The Health Minister could not be clearer. The culture | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
of overspending in Welsh health boards would come to one end. Bail- | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
outs would be a thing of the past. Today, we learned that was not the | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
case. Three local health boards needed extra money to break even. | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
Between them, they wanted �12 million to balance the books. This | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
was on top of 150 million which were shared between all of the | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
:09:17. | :09:19. | ||
health board's last autumn. It indicates all NHS organisations | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
met strategy to keep to break even. This is a remarkable achievement. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
remarkable achievement, it is not, according to opposition parties. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
They rounded on the health boards for the overspend and the Minister | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
for helping them out. If the �12.4 million had not been able to be | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
transferred from this year's financial settlement to last year's | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
financial settlement, three local health boards in Wales would not | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
have balance their budgets. Isn't it true you have rolled over, you | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
have caved in and every local health board knows that if they run | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
out of money, you will be will come out? Could you give this chain that | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
an analysis of whether the savings that have been achieved, or whether | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
these are recurrent savings or are they one-off, emergency measures? - | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
:10:21. | :10:22. | ||
The three local health boards were now face an external review of | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
financial plans. The extra money given to the three health boards | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
will have to be repaid from this year's round of funding. Our | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Political Editor, Betsan Powys, joins us now from the National | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
Assembly. This has been brewing for some months. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Yes, and you can't argue that today was a war of words. -- you can | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
argue. The opposition parties, the day | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
before an election, it is difficult to look not see it as a bruising | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
political battle. The Health Minister has been entirely | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
unequivocal. Local health ought to have to be breaking even and they | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
would be no more money for them. -- local health boards. The opposition | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:30. | ||
parties say she should be talking... You had to delve quite deep to | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
realise that three health boards would not have broken even without | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
some help from central government. What does this mean for the future? | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
They have already had to cut and scrape and that is another story in | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
itself to get to where they have got today. But now we know that | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :11:59. | ||
three local health boards start this year it made it worse off. -- | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
already worse off. The Health Minister will want to be sure next | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
time that they break absolutely even, with no help at all. A murder | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
trial in Cardiff has heard a father tell police that he knew nothing of | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
any injuries to his seven-year-old son. Yaseen Ali Ege died after | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
being beaten in July 2010. He had severe abdominal injuries and his | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
body was burned when the family home in Cardiff was set on fire. | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
His mother Sara denies murder and perverting the course of justice. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
His father Yusuf Ali Ege denies causing or allowing the death of a | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
:12:39. | :12:44. | ||
child by failing to protect him. The polls open tomorrow morning in | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
local elections up and down Wales. The results will decide who runs | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
vital local services, but has the campaign caught the public's | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
imagination? Our Political Correspondent, Tomos Livingstone, | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:01. | ||
reports. All parties are busy with the last-minute campaigning. But | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
are the voters interested in what is on offer? I think they are | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
interested in having council tax frozen, in having streets clean and | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
safe. They are interested in making sure that schools are free and | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
those are the only things that can be delivered by Conservative | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:31. | ||
council does councils. We have tried to keep the focus local. The | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
discussion from my experience has been very much about the quality of | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
services and concerns people have got going forward with regard to | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
changes due to the financial climate. Labour are hoping to win | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
back councils they lost in 2008. It is also a test will Plaid Cymru | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
with their new leader. campaign's I have been taking part | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
in have been lively. We have been told about local issues and how | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
they do it -- deliver those issues. We are safeguarding jobs and | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
creating opportunities. People need a bit of explanation sometimes as | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
to why these elections are important but once you one able to | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
do that, these are the things that matter day-in day-out, in schools, | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
roads, I think it is easy enough to extend to people and people respond. | :14:25. | :14:35. | |
:14:35. | :14:43. | ||
There are elections in 21 local a authorities. Whether wins will | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
control annual budgets of more than �7 billion. -- whoever. It is a | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
challenging few years ahead. Money is tight and there are difficult | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
decisions to be made. The politicians have had their say. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
Tomorrow, the voters get the chance to decide. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Joining me now is the Chief Executive of the Welsh Local | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Government Association, Steve Thomas As we were hearing in Tomos' | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
piece there, it's going to be difficult for whoever wins these | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
elections. Money is tight, so are councils going to cut back on | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:27. | ||
services? Councils are looking to protect frontline services like | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
education and social care. Inevitably, in this climate, | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
cutbacks are being made. We are seeing that in non-statutory | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
services like leisure and other services. We are looking to protect | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
services and we are looking to ensure we deliver services in a far | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
:15:55. | :15:55. | ||
more efficient way. We have seen some other factors. Some big issues. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
You're talking about working more efficiently. Could that mean | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
working more closely together? Some merging? There are some mergers | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
going on in key service areas. Social care departments have huge | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
:16:25. | :16:27. | ||
budgets. They are merging together in central Wales. Some areas are | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
looking at integrating social care. I suspect we will see more of that. | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
What about this campaign? Our people are interested? What is the | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
turn Quinn to be like tomorrow? was driving around Cardiff and | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
there seems to be a fierce election in the capital. It depends on the | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
council area and it depends on how the parties themselves and | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:10. | ||
independents have infused the voters. -- enthused. But these are | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
important services. It is vital that people exercise their rights | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
in the ballot box. Much more to come before 7:00pm, including | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
swimmer Jazz Carlin. Still dreaming of going to the Olympics, with a | :17:22. | :17:32. | |
:17:32. | :17:33. | ||
second chance to qualify. Every week, 12 people who are | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
apparently fit and healthy collapse and die. They are struck down by an | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
undiagnosed heart defect and people aged 14 to 35 are most at risk. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
You'll remember footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch in | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
March. And former Wales manager Terry Yorath lost his 15-year-old | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
son Daniel to a sudden cardiac death in 1992. With me now is Anne | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Thomas from Llantrisant, who is part of a campaign calling for | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
greater awareness. Your son Gareth died five years ago. What happened | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
:18:12. | :18:14. | ||
to him? He was a healthy 21-year- old. He went to bed in the house he | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
shared with his flatmates in Cardiff. The following day, when | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
they tried to weaken, they discovered he had died in the night. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
It was a huge shock. We have never got over it as a family. It does | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
not make any sense to me. He played football every week. He had just | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
returned from skiing. So statistics are high. While not more aware of | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
it? It is a difficult one. Until he died, I had no idea either. As a | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
nurse, I have worked in intensive care for 20 years. I had not really | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
heard of this particular situation. I think a lot of the problem is | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
that most of these young people do not make it to hospital. They | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
actually die at home or on the street. They may make it to the | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
emergency admission apart -- to partner but most would just go | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
straight to the mortuary. -- department. | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
Raising awareness so that GPs are aware if people do come to them | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
with symptoms that could be indicative of the problem. Young | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
people might faint more often, there is a concern. But often -- | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
also there is screening. It does find patients with problems. Eight | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
out of 10 people who die suddenly do not have any symptoms. Thank you | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
for coming in to talk about your son and your campaign. A diamond | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
jubilee party in Denbighshire which had been thrown into doubt because | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
of street signage has finally been given the go ahead. Organisers of | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
the party on Rhuddlan's high street had been told they'd have to pay | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
�2,000 to provide road diversion signs. But the council has now | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
agreed to provide them free of charge. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Two tourists from Barry, who broke into an Australian Sealife Centre | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
and stole a penguin called Dirk, have appeared in court in Brisbane. | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
21-year-old Rhys Jones and 20-year- old Keri Mules were fined one | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
thousand Australian dollars each: that's around �600. Their lawyer | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
said they accepted their drunken actions had been immature and | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
stupid. Time for tonight's sport now with | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Ashleigh, and those football play- offs are just a day away. Good | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
evening. A very important few days coming for up for Cardiff City and | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Wrexham. They both play the first leg of their respective play-off | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
semi-finals tomorrow night. Promotion is the prize they're | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
seeking, Cardiff City to the Premier League, while Wrexham are | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
trying to return back to the Football League, four years after | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
they dropped into the Conference. They need to beat Luton over two | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
legs to book a trip to Wembley at the end of a remarkable season. At | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
least this time round, it's been all about the football. Earlier | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
seasons have been overshadowed by hurdles off the pitch with a long | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
running search for new owners for the club and the Racecourse ground. | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Those troubles were finally put to rest late last year with the | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Supporters Trust taking charge of the former and Glyndwr University | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
paying up for the latter. Andy Morrell has won much praise for the | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
way he's balanced his player manager role and has recently | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
signed a new deal with the club. He couldn't rely on automatic | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
promotion, so he's hoping that this year's meeting with Luton goes | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
better than last. We had half an hour that cost us dearly last | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
season. Focusing already for these couple of games will be really | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
tough. It will be a completely different out for it. But we have | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
had good results against them. Former Welsh international John | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Hartson spent time at Luton. He knows Wrexham face a tough job | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
across two games. They still want to be in the match, taking Newton | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
:22:12. | :22:19. | ||
back to the racecourse. -- Luton. If they are still in it, they will | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
feel they can turn them over and get them into the final. For fans, | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
there's a chance to dream of a return to the Football League, the | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
club's 87 year reign ended in 2008 with relegation to the Blue Square | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Premier. The fight back has been a long and at times painful one, but | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
promotion would make all the hardship worthwhile. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
In snooker, Carmarthen's Matthew Stevens is through to the semi- | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
finals of the World Championships in Sheffield, after an incredible | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
victory over fellow Welshman Ryan Day. Stevens was trailing 5-2 but | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
went on to win the next 11 frames, to claim the match 13-5. It's the | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
first time for seven years he's reached the last four at the | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
Crucible. Meanwhile, Jamie Jones from Cimla | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
near Neath is trailing Ali Carter 9-7 in his quarter-final. Play gets | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
underway again at 7:00pm. Cricket, and last year's Glamorgan | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
captain has been reminding the Welsh county what they're missing. | :23:09. | :23:19. | |

It's been a difficult couple of months for Welsh swimmer Jazz | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Carlin. She failed to qualify for the Olympics in March, after | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
pulling out of the trials through illness, while her two best friends | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
made the British team. But she's still dreaming of going to the | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
Games, with a second chance to qualify next month. Every second | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
counts for Jazz Carlin. When she trains, the poolside Olympic | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
countdown clock is a constant reminder she does not have long. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
The trials in March were a disaster. She underperformed in two events | :24:01. | :24:09. | |
and withdrew -- withdrew from a third. | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
Before the trials, I was on antibiotics was six weeks and going | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
through the trials, it was not easy. I just had to get on with it. I | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
wanted was what my best but it did not happen at the time. -- to swim | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
my best. Her coach has lined up more intense speed sessions in the | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
swimming pool. And a week training programme in the gym. She has two | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:48. | ||
months. There was cause for celebration at | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
the Swansea swimming pool. Everyone is doing all they can to help Jazz | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
Carlin are joined them in team GB. I am happy that they have qualified. | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
I want them to do well. But it is also hard watching a few | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
unqualified and not being at my best. The last few weeks have been | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
a test of character. But she is confident she can bounce back by | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
swimming fast at the second trials in Sheffield next month. Dreams of | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
