back with the late news. Now on BBC One it's time for the

:00:00.:00:13.

Good evening. A search continues for a man who has been missing since his

:00:14.:00:22.

kayak overturned yesterday. Meanwhile, an investigation has been

:00:23.:00:26.

launched after a man died in a pool at a quarry in Denbigh.

:00:27.:00:33.

This lake is one of the deepest in Britain, going down to 140 feet in

:00:34.:00:38.

places. The missing man was out in a kayak when it overturned. Another

:00:39.:00:43.

adult and a child made it to shore and raised the alarm at around

:00:44.:00:47.

5:30pm yesterday afternoon. They were taken to hospital in Wrexham

:00:48.:00:51.

and kept in overnight as a precaution. The search for the

:00:52.:00:56.

missing man continues. The RAF rescue helicopter, police and fire

:00:57.:00:59.

service were involved in the search until the light faded. The police

:01:00.:01:02.

continue looking for him this morning. 30 miles away in Denbigh,

:01:03.:01:07.

the body of a 20-year-old man has been recovered from a quarry.

:01:08.:01:12.

Underwater search teams were called to the site on Saturday afternoon.

:01:13.:01:17.

Police had previously warned of the dangers of cooling down in the pool

:01:18.:01:25.

or jumping from rocks. And described the pool as market with dramatic

:01:26.:01:28.

inconsistencies in depth. They are still trying to work out what

:01:29.:01:31.

happened but are not treating his death as suspicious.

:01:32.:01:36.

Welsh hospitals are facing a shortage of nurses which could

:01:37.:01:40.

compromise patient care, according to the Royal College of Nursing.

:01:41.:01:45.

There were also reports that recent reports of poorer care could damage

:01:46.:01:51.

recruitment. But Wales Today was told that enough nurses are being

:01:52.:01:56.

trained. Images of nurses through the

:01:57.:01:59.

decades, comparing, and compassionate. Recent complaints

:02:00.:02:04.

about poor care in the Welsh NHS may denting that image. At the offices

:02:05.:02:08.

of the body that represents the profession, they are discussing

:02:09.:02:13.

nursing numbers. They say the Welsh government has underestimated the

:02:14.:02:16.

number of training places for nurses. Bad practice cannot be

:02:17.:02:20.

tolerated, says the union's director, but staffing pressures can

:02:21.:02:26.

be a factor behind poor care. Every week we hear that there are

:02:27.:02:33.

areas of poor care and nursing in Wales, and we have to get it right

:02:34.:02:35.

for patients and for the nursing profession. We cannot continue to

:02:36.:02:42.

have what we would want as a Platinum service of the NHS delivery

:02:43.:02:49.

if you do not have the resource to do that.

:02:50.:02:54.

The Welsh government's chief nursing officer denies there is a shortage.

:02:55.:02:59.

I feel that the image of nursing might be being tarnished in some

:03:00.:03:03.

respects because of the stories we have heard. Reality is very

:03:04.:03:07.

different. We do have real excellence in nursing care.

:03:08.:03:13.

A report this week about feelings at two Welsh hospitals highlighted

:03:14.:03:17.

examples of working on the wards. There was criticism just of nurses

:03:18.:03:22.

but of other health care staff and management, also. For nurses working

:03:23.:03:27.

on the front line, there is concerned this is another blow for

:03:28.:03:30.

morale. That is bound to have an effect on

:03:31.:03:33.

people wanting to stay in the service and potentially other people

:03:34.:03:36.

looking to come into nursing as a career.

:03:37.:03:41.

Nurses her face different challenges over the years. They say one of the

:03:42.:03:47.

most important issues now is getting staffing levels right so that

:03:48.:03:50.

patients get the care they need. Officers and crew of HMS Dragon have

:03:51.:03:55.

been in Cardiff today receiving the freedom of the city. HMS Dragon has

:03:56.:03:59.

a number of Welsh personnel on board and the award was in recognition of

:04:00.:04:04.

its close links with the capital. After the ceremony, the 200 strong

:04:05.:04:10.

company paraded through the city. Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has

:04:11.:04:12.

described his FA Cup final winning goal as a dream come true after

:04:13.:04:17.

ending Arsenal's nine-year wait for a trophy. His extra time goal sealed

:04:18.:04:23.

the Gunners' went over Hull at Wembley.

:04:24.:04:29.

It's incredible to think that I've been dreaming about this ever since

:04:30.:04:34.

I was a young boy. And to score the winner is mind blowing.

:04:35.:04:39.

It was a good night for Welsh boxers. Nathan cleverly won his

:04:40.:04:48.

first cruiserweight fight. He took the vacant WBA Intercontinental

:04:49.:04:57.

title. Former world champion retired after a win over fellow Welshman.

:04:58.:05:08.

Now the weather: another gorgeous day for firing up barbecues.

:05:09.:05:14.

In the coming week it will turn a little more unsettled. Showers will

:05:15.:05:19.

push in from the south into mid Wales and parts of the North in the

:05:20.:05:25.

early hours. It is a mild night, between nine and 13 Celsius.

:05:26.:05:29.

Tomorrow is another fine day on the whole, but there will be showers in

:05:30.:05:34.

the South and West, the North will get most of the Sunshine. It will

:05:35.:05:38.

cloud over at times, temperatures into the low 20s, a little cooler

:05:39.:05:44.

around the coast because of the sea breeze. In the coming days, low

:05:45.:05:48.

pressure building in from the South West which will bring showers. We

:05:49.:05:52.

will have some heavy rain midweek, but more sunshine to come, and it

:05:53.:06:00.

will still feel pleasantly warm. That's all from Wales Today for the

:06:01.:06:02.

moment. St James Park and Sheffield both hit

:06:03.:06:12.

25 Celsius this afternoon. That gives us our warmest day in nearly

:06:13.:06:17.

nine months, since 5th September 2013. It goes without saying that it

:06:18.:06:21.

is going to be a warm night.

:06:22.:06:22.
