Pembrokeshire broke down in tears as she told an inquest how her

0:00:170:00:19

premature son died at just 5-weeks-old, after being taken off a

0:00:200:00:25

ventilator. Bronwyn Rhodes noticed something was wrong with baby Rohan

0:00:260:00:28

soon after he son was transferred from a hospital in Swansea to see

0:00:290:00:32

specialists in Bristol in 2012. Paul Heaney reports. Row and roads was

0:00:330:00:44

born 14 weeks early in Swansea. -- Rohan Rhodes. He was transferred to

0:00:450:00:49

see experts at St Michael's Hospital in Bristol in September 2012, he had

0:00:500:00:57

heart and lung problems, within hours his parents say he became

0:00:580:01:01

unwell eventually suffering a cardiac arrest. No-one escalated his

0:01:020:01:10

gear when they should have. He was left for many hours with no one

0:01:110:01:13

taking a blood sample to see how he was doing. His mother told the

0:01:140:01:22

inquest today that the staff were aggressive in inserting feeding

0:01:230:01:28

tubes into the child causing him pain. The father thought he had been

0:01:290:01:36

given sedation because his body was lifeless. A pathologist told the

0:01:370:01:47

inquest today that the child had multiple perforations of his bowel

0:01:480:01:53

and the likely reason was an infection. He suffered a great deal

0:01:540:02:01

of pain before he died and that is what we want to make sure that does

0:02:020:02:13

not happen again. The hospital trust says it offers its severe

0:02:140:02:17

condolences to the family for the loss of their son. The enquiry

0:02:180:02:21

continues tomorrow. In the last ten years, councils here have given the

0:02:220:02:24

go-ahead to hundreds of developments, despite being warned

0:02:250:02:28

that they posed a flood risk. Natural Resources Wales, formerly

0:02:290:02:31

the Environment Agency, gives advice to local authorities about planning

0:02:320:02:33

applications including the risk of flooding. Wales Today has learnt

0:02:340:02:37

that between 2004 and last year, councils here ignored that advice

0:02:380:02:50

341 times. I think it is barmy for councillors in any part of Wales to

0:02:510:02:55

refuse to accept the facts when they are presented to them from the

0:02:560:03:04

flooding experts. We have a housing crisis in Wales as we have

0:03:050:03:07

throughout the rest of the UK solar and therefore is essential to

0:03:080:03:14

develop for building. The lack of land means some local authorities

0:03:150:03:19

gets desperate and develop land that is prone to flooding. A man has been

0:03:200:03:24

jailed for life for murdering a carer from Bridgend. 26-year-old

0:03:250:03:26

Jamie Curtis from Ynysawdre was arrested after Kevin Hier from Tondu

0:03:270:03:29

collapsed in October last year. Police said, the killing had left

0:03:300:03:33

the community stunned. Curtis pleaded guilty to murder at Cardiff

0:03:340:03:38

Crown Court. A 13-year-old from Barry was electrocuted as she helped

0:03:390:03:40

her father bring Christmas decorations down from the attic, an

0:03:410:03:45

inquest has heard. Georgia Marshall died at home last November. An

0:03:460:03:51

exposed cable wrapped around a metal step ladder gave her a fatal

0:03:520:03:54

electric shock. A verdict of accidental death was recorded.

0:03:550:04:00

Castles, beaches and dolphins will feature in a new ?4 million

0:04:010:04:03

advertising campaign aimed at boosting tourism in Wales. It

0:04:040:04:10

features music from singer Cerys Matthews and will be launched on St

0:04:110:04:14

David's Day as part of Wales Tourism Week. The TV advert is directed by

0:04:150:04:17

Marc Evans, whose work includes the Welsh detective series, Hinterland.

0:04:180:04:25

People do know about us, they might know about Dylan Thomas, when you

0:04:260:04:31

take the Welsh film to a festival the conversation starts to open up

0:04:320:04:35

and people understand a bit more about who we are. A woman from

0:04:360:04:39

Newport has been awarded more than ?2,000 in compensation from Gwent

0:04:400:04:41

Police for being wrongfully arrested when she wanted help for domestic

0:04:420:04:44

abuse. Kristy Robinson called police when she was being attacked by her

0:04:450:04:48

ex-boyfriend, who punched her and threw a glass of wine over her. But

0:04:490:04:54

she was arrested along with her partner because she smelled of

0:04:550:04:59

alcohol. Gwent Police say the officer who arrested her acted in

0:05:000:05:04

good faith. A former Swansea rugby player has been handed a record

0:05:050:05:07

eight-year ban for possessing and trafficking steroids. Dean

0:05:080:05:10

Colclough, who was a hooker with Swansea RFC was found to be in

0:05:110:05:13

possession and trafficking of anabolic steroids. Colclough played

0:05:140:05:18

for the club 106 times between 1997 and 2008. He's been in charge for

0:05:190:05:26

2.5 years, but today Wrexham's player-manager Andy Morrell resigned

0:05:270:05:30

from the club. He led the club to two play-off finishes but they've

0:05:310:05:33

struggled this season. Following their loss to Barnet on the weekend,

0:05:340:05:37

they've dropped to 13th in the conference. Matthew Richards looks

0:05:380:05:47

back at his career. First as a player then as player manager, Andy

0:05:480:05:51

Morell has definitely made his mark in over 200 appearances Wrexham.

0:05:520:05:59

Last year he won the FA Trophy at Wembley. This year they were denied

0:06:000:06:08

a return to the football league. He has thrown in the towel after 2.5

0:06:090:06:14

years. It was a hard announcement for the players to hear ahead of

0:06:150:06:19

training this morning and tough to for his assistant who inherits the

0:06:200:06:25

role for the time being. For everyone to see him how he was and

0:06:260:06:31

for me to see the players how they were, it was hard for me to take.

0:06:320:06:40

With a game at Luton tomorrow it will be a baptism of fire. There

0:06:410:06:48

have been some devastating lows over the last 2.5 years. Andy Morrell

0:06:490:06:53

said he felt he had taken the team as far as he could but nobody has

0:06:540:07:00

doubted his dedication to Wrexham. As a man we have the utmost respect

0:07:010:07:09

for him. As a manager he gets the utmost respect, he has a very good

0:07:100:07:16

CV. He is the orderly Wrexham manager to win more than half of his

0:07:170:07:22

matches. Even if some of the most crucial were just beyond his reach.

0:07:230:07:26

There were four Welshmen in action in the second round of the Wales

0:07:270:07:30

Open Snooker in Newport earlier this evening. Andrew Pagett, Dominic Dale

0:07:310:07:32

and Matthew Stevens came through their matches this afternoon, and

0:07:330:07:35

Michael White joined them after a successful evening session. Let's

0:07:360:07:38

see what the weather has in store, here's Derek Brockway. We enjoyed

0:07:390:07:43

the break from the rain today. Orderly a brief respite. The rain

0:07:440:07:49

has returned again tonight. It is spreading slowly but surely used

0:07:500:07:54

words across the country. For the rest of this evening and tonight the

0:07:550:07:59

rain will continue its journey eastwards. Eventually drying

0:08:000:08:03

overnight. Temperatures staying below freezing. -- staying above

0:08:040:08:13

freezing, no frost tonight. This low pressure will push in tomorrow

0:08:140:08:15

bringing a mixture of some pressure will push in tomorrow

0:08:160:08:21

and squally showers. Not too many showers around first thing tomorrow

0:08:220:08:26

morning. Some of the heavier showers moving in to the West later on with

0:08:270:08:34

dusty winds especially along the costs. Some of the showers will be

0:08:350:08:40

heavy with rain or funder. The best dry weather will be along the coast.

0:08:410:08:49

The top temperature tomorrow will be 12 Celsius in London. In Wales

0:08:500:08:54

tomorrow afternoon there will be a few sharp showers but some dry

0:08:550:09:00

weather as well. A high of 10 Celsius in modern life. Plenty of

0:09:010:09:05

dry weather tomorrow evening, just a few scattered showers. Inland

0:09:060:09:11

temperatures could fall low enough overnight for a ground frost.

0:09:120:09:17

Wednesday will have a mixture of sunshine and showers. Most places

0:09:180:09:22

dry by the end of the afternoon. Turning wet and windy by midnight

0:09:230:09:28

and into Thursday. That rain will be followed again by sunshine and

0:09:290:09:33

showers. A little snow on the mountains and it is a similar story

0:09:340:09:39

on Friday. A mixed bag of weather this week but I can promise some

0:09:400:09:44

sunshine as well. We've got the latest news and sport, traffic

0:09:450:09:46

updates and weather in Breakfast from six tomorrow morning. That's

0:09:470:09:49

Wales Today, thank you for watching, from all of us on the programme,

0:09:500:09:51

goodnight.
