-- treasured past. There is a first look | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Good evening. The family of a Welsh soldier killed in an IRA attack, say | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
they fear they'll never get justice after a legal blunder meant the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
alleged bomber has walked free. 19-year-old Corporal Jeffrey Young | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
from Tonyrefail was killed in the 1982 Hyde Park blast. Tonight, his | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
brother has criticised the sequence of events that led to John Downey's | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
trial collapsing. Nick Palit reports. | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
July, 1982, and the community of Tony VIA Rail is out in force. | :00:51. | :01:03. | |
Corporal Jeffrey Young was 19 when he died. He was buried with full | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
military honours on what he died. He was buried with full | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
been his 20th birthday. He left behind a wife, two daughters and a | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
devastated family. We was all very proud of him. His brother, Vincent, | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
still has vivid memories. We travelled up to London to see Jeff | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
in hospital. You could not see him because he was just mummified in | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
bandages. And the next day he died. John Downie was due to stand trial | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
at the Old Bailey for his part in the bombing. He denied the charges | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
and the trial was halted after his legal team claimed he had been given | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
an official letter that gave assurances he would not be tried. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
That had been part of the Good Friday peace agreement. Now a | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
political row is brewing over the existence of these letters. We were | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
not the only people who knew about this. The information about this was | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
done in the political arena. And to a certain extent, within the public | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
domain. Today, Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a judge led inquiry | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
into the letters. Neath MP Peter Hain, who was Northern Ireland | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Secretary at the time the letters were issued, said they were widely | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
known about. Was completely lawful. The victims who have suffered such | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
terrible trauma in recent days with all sorts of accusations being flung | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
around as if there was something sordid or awful going on, I think | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
they need to be reassured that this was perfectly lawful. Back in Wales, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Jeffrey Young's family view the news of the inquiry with cynicism. His | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
killers will never be brought to justice. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Vincent Young, speaking to Nick Palit. Other news - a deputy | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
headteacher from Cardiff who has previously admitted secretly filming | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
children in a toilet, has appeared in court charged with 48 further | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
offences. 47-year-old Gareth Williams - who's been suspended from | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
his job at Ysgol Glantaf - faces 12 further counts of voyeurism, six of | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
which relate to the school. He also faces charges of making and | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
possessing indecent images of children. He was remanded in | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
custody. Senior Welsh Conservatives have | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
tonight played down differences between the party in Wales and in | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Westminster. Assembly Members met the Prime Minister earlier, and said | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
the talks focused on the economy rather than recent turmoil in the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
party. The Welsh Secretary, David Jones, and the leader of the Tories | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
in Wales, Andrew RT Davies, emerged from Number ten to put on a united | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
front in a rare joint interview. We actually have not got any | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
differences. Income tax devolution? The draft Wales Bill has been | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
published and that is how the bill will proceed. The Welsh select | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
committee is reporting tomorrow. We will look very carefully at its | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
recommendations. But the policy we have announced his party policy and | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
we have agreed on that. This is a positive meeting. It is a meeting | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
between assembly members and the Prime Minister. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
"We're sorry - we made mistakes." That's the message tonight from the | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
leadership of Carmarthenshire Council after they voted to accept | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
the recommendations of the Wales Audit Office report | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
the recommendations of the Wales payments to its chief executive were | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
unlawful. Abigail Neal has more. Inside of these four walls, a debate | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
has been raging all day. Councillors came to take their seats. And with | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
the meeting broadcast over the web, some argued the scandal surrounding | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
their chief executive has damaged the council's reputation. This | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
council's name has been dragged through the mud. The chief executive | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
is no longer at his dead -- Marsh -- decks. Today's events stem from a | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
report about cash given a new of employment payment -- employer | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
pension contributions. The report stated the cash | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
pension contributions. The report unlawful. It also said a separate | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
decision to pay for Mr James's legal flight -- fight against a blogger | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
was also unlawful. Carmarthenshire League spent more than ?26,000 | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
helping him pursue a libel counterclaim against a blogger for | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
comments she made about him. On the issue of pensions, the council | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
admitted they had been wrong. Hands up, they said. We made mistakes. I | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
am man enough to say sorry to anybody who has been upset. I can | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
assure everybody that we have done it in good faith and we have learned | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
from it. The decision to cover the Chief Executive club -- chief | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
executive's legal costs was trickier. In the end they accepted | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the audits are's recommendations and said they would not do it again. The | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
council has accepted the recommendations. That is the end of | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
it. A motion of no confidence failed. Tonight, the councillors | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
battered but not beaten. -- the council is battered. Swansea | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
City are out of the Europa League, despite a heroic effort away to | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Napoli. They lost 3-1. Claire Summers reports. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Time for reflection on the biggest night of European competition | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Swansea City have ever experienced. The rookie manager looking on, | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
knowing a place in the last 16 was at stake. Both sides had their | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
chances but it was Napoli that got the breakthrough. Insigne sending | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
the ball over the head of Michel Vorm. De Guzman equalised. Swansea | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
with the vital away goal. They start of the second half with the same | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
tempo. But it was Napoli that got a decisive break. A blunder in the | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
defence put Higuain through. Swansea had to score again. They had a | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
chance. It looked like a dramatic finale was on the cards. With | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
Swansea pressing forward, they were caught on the break. Napoli du Ry. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
3-1 the final score. Swansea's dreams crushed, the players knowing | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
how close they came. Snooker news, and there are no | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Welshmen left in the Wales Open after Mark Williams was beaten by | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Marco Fu in the last 16. He went down by four frames to two. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Benny, snow for some on the way... Yes, absolutely. A little bit of | :08:05. | :08:16. | |
snow is likely across parts of mid and South Wales, where we could see | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
hill snow. For the majority, it is likely to be rain even sleet at | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
lower levels. The rain has already approached parts of Pembrokeshire. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
That has moved -- that will move north before moving south and east | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
tomorrow morning. Five to ten centimetres of rain is likely. The | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
low pressure tracking eastwards. We get a brief break and then we have | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
another weather system making its way in on Saturday. First thing | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
tomorrow morning, not a nice start in mid-and South Wales. It is a good | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
start across parts of Anglesey, across to Wrexham. It will improve | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
as the day goes on. A yellow warning across to Wrexham. It will improve | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
for the ice. A yellow warning for the snow in South and mid Wales. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Also for parts of the Midlands as well. And across the south-east of | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
England, we have got the rain. Here in Wales, tomorrow afternoon it is | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
very nice. The main band of rain, sleet and snow will clear. It will | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
brighten up. Through tomorrow night we will see some fog forming along | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
the border. And some frosty patches. A cold night for the start of March | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
at Saint David's day. Largely dry. Some showers. Some brightness. Later | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
in the day, rain arriving. That will clear through on Sunday. A dry start | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
to Sunday but we do have more wind and rain. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
That sounds familiar. Question Time from Newport is next. We'll have the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
latest for you in Breakfast from 6:25. From all of us here, | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
goodnight. | :09:56. | :10:01. |
