limited. That's all from

:00:00.:00:18.

Good evening. It's emerged tonight that a further seven nurses have

:00:19.:00:23.

been suspended at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend as part

:00:24.:00:26.

of an ongoing investigation into allegations that records were

:00:27.:00:31.

falsified. Last year, three nurses working at the hospital had been

:00:32.:00:34.

arrested on suspicion of neglect following claims that notes had been

:00:35.:00:39.

falsified. Our health correspondent Owain Clarke is here. What's the

:00:40.:00:52.

latest? We know that for some time health care has been under the

:00:53.:01:03.

spotlight in the region. We note that three of the hospitals have

:01:04.:01:14.

been targeted. Seven Mormon nurses have been suspended from duty and we

:01:15.:01:18.

understand it happened last year. It was the result of an internal

:01:19.:01:25.

investigation. Said details are limited, but we can expect more

:01:26.:01:33.

soon, presumably? Yes. No comment from the Welsh government, but

:01:34.:01:38.

following a crescendo of complaints, the health minister did ask for an

:01:39.:01:43.

independent review at the health board. I expect that report to be

:01:44.:01:51.

published imminently. The health board said they will implement any

:01:52.:02:01.

recommendations. However, there have been calls for a four public in --

:02:02.:02:09.

for a public enquiry. More should be done to promote the

:02:10.:02:12.

great Welsh outdoors to visitors from outside Wales. That's the view

:02:13.:02:15.

of businesses operating in the tourism sector.

:02:16.:02:19.

Yes, you can get wet when you holiday in Wales, but this is the

:02:20.:02:24.

kind of wet people are prepared to pay for. At this whitewater rafting

:02:25.:02:28.

centre, they boast that it is the best of its kind in the UK. This

:02:29.:02:41.

group are a stag party from England. They learnt about the facility

:02:42.:02:49.

through word-of-mouth. People do generally know that Wales is all

:02:50.:02:55.

about outdoor pursuits. There's not much information where we're from in

:02:56.:03:03.

Sussex. I would not have thought that this is well advertised to

:03:04.:03:09.

people further afield. Visit Wales does advertise, but it is broad

:03:10.:03:21.

brushed. Should there be a more focused Porsche on the outdoor

:03:22.:03:33.

activities that Wells have to offer? There should be more advertising.

:03:34.:03:40.

This is a great opportunity for Wales, but of course people in the

:03:41.:03:44.

South East have so much choice. Visitors means money and that

:03:45.:03:49.

translates into jobs. What is really important is that people who spend

:03:50.:03:55.

their money when they get here, be it in hotels, restaurants, shops and

:03:56.:03:59.

even petrol stations. The report today suggest the alt oil sector

:04:00.:04:07.

ports ?481 million into the Welsh it: Me every year. 8000 jobs are

:04:08.:04:13.

supported. However, much of that work has not gone to Welsh school

:04:14.:04:25.

leavers. Campaigners are saying that more needs to be done. Historically,

:04:26.:04:30.

local people have not seen the outdoors as a means of employment. I

:04:31.:04:39.

was never given the opportunity to go hill walking or kayaking when I

:04:40.:04:43.

was younger will stop things are changing. Over the last ten years,

:04:44.:04:48.

outdoor partnership has engaged with 35,000 people. Some people have been

:04:49.:04:53.

able to sustain employment in the sector. There is no doubt the great

:04:54.:04:59.

wealth outdoors has a lot to offer thrill seekers.

:05:00.:05:07.

Two senior doctors at a mental health unit in Bangor say they're

:05:08.:05:10.

concerned about the way it is being run. The consultants at the Hergest

:05:11.:05:13.

psychiatric unit at Ysbyty Gwynedd say the Health Minister needs to

:05:14.:05:17.

take action over the way staff are being treated. The health board

:05:18.:05:20.

which runs the unit says all the correct procedures are being

:05:21.:05:23.

followed and it is listening to staff.

:05:24.:05:29.

It scares some of the most honourable patients in Wales, often

:05:30.:05:32.

with challenging mental health conditions, but for the last year,

:05:33.:05:38.

some staff at the Hergest unit have not been happy. Last summer

:05:39.:05:42.

management wanted to change the way it was run and then to senior nurses

:05:43.:05:48.

were suddenly sent home. When some of the senior ward managers here

:05:49.:05:51.

were questioning some of the changes being made, then one day when some

:05:52.:05:59.

of the changes were due to be implemented, then the ward managers

:06:00.:06:02.

of the two main wards were asked to leave. They were away for six weeks.

:06:03.:06:08.

During that time, the wards did not have any leadership. Other people

:06:09.:06:13.

stepped in but did not know what they were doing. Colleagues

:06:14.:06:17.

protested and the two nurses are back at work, but staff are worried

:06:18.:06:24.

about what will happen next. The health board said it is listening

:06:25.:06:28.

and wants to improve things. And patients. We are setting up systems

:06:29.:06:35.

in the Hergest unit so that we are meeting staff regularly and we are

:06:36.:06:39.

listening to the voices of all of the staff and not just one or two

:06:40.:06:45.

local people. Some of those voices have taken things further. Two

:06:46.:06:50.

consultants have complained to the Assembly and they are asking the

:06:51.:06:53.

health minister to step in and make sure that ain't really do change.

:06:54.:06:57.

The mines inspector who led the investigation after four men drowned

:06:58.:07:00.

in a Swansea Valley pit has told a jury how he was left chilled after

:07:01.:07:06.

seeing a plan of the mine. Sketches on the map suggested the colliers

:07:07.:07:09.

had been working towards underground water. Malcolm Fyfield, who was the

:07:10.:07:13.

pit manager, denies four counts of manslaughter through gross

:07:14.:07:15.

negligence and the mine operators deny four counts of corporate

:07:16.:07:21.

manslaughter. More than 200 jobs are to be created

:07:22.:07:25.

in Merthyr Tydfil at a company that manufactures exhaust systems for

:07:26.:07:27.

cars. Tenneco-Walker already employs around 190 people on its site at

:07:28.:07:32.

Tredegar. Today it announced it's opening a second site at Dowlais

:07:33.:07:37.

Top. The 2015 Ashes series will begin in

:07:38.:07:43.

Wales. The first Test between England and Australia will start on

:07:44.:07:46.

July eighth at the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff. The two sides will also

:07:47.:07:49.

play a Twenty20 international there at the end of August.

:07:50.:07:56.

It's looking up on the weather front - Derek has got the forecast.

:07:57.:08:04.

Some great cricket weather later this week with high pressure on the

:08:05.:08:10.

way. At the moment, it is quite chilly. It will be on the cool side.

:08:11.:08:18.

A few showers dotted around the country tonight, but not everywhere

:08:19.:08:23.

will catch them. Some places will stay dry. A little bit of missed

:08:24.:08:29.

bawling. Temperatures down to as low as five Celsius. There will be some

:08:30.:08:38.

showers tomorrow, but there will be sunshine as well. Across the rest of

:08:39.:08:43.

the UK, many places will start dry, but they will be some showers

:08:44.:08:46.

around. There will be more to come during the day. Not everywhere will

:08:47.:08:53.

catch them, but if you do, they could be heavy. Sunny spells

:08:54.:08:58.

tomorrow with temperatures up to 17 degrees in London and 14 degrees in

:08:59.:09:04.

Glasgow. On the whole, a lot of fine and dry weather with a great deal of

:09:05.:09:11.

sunshine. Temperatures up to 16 Celsius. Any showers will die away

:09:12.:09:20.

to leave us with a finite -- a dry night. Any fog patches on Wednesday

:09:21.:09:27.

will disappear in leaving a generally dry day. Temperatures up

:09:28.:09:33.

to 17 degrees in Monmouth. Thursday, it will be dry and settled. The

:09:34.:09:38.

second half of the week looks quite a thing. Dry with sunny spells and

:09:39.:09:43.

rising temperatures. Not a heatwave, but much warmer than it

:09:44.:09:48.

has been recently. Newsnight has just started over on

:09:49.:09:56.
