more on the BBC News Channel. We are back with the late news

Labour party members in the Cynon Valley have cancelled a meeting

to select a replacement parliamentary candidate,

after being told it must be an all-women shortlist.

Labour are looking for a new candidate to replace

the MP Ann Clwyd, who's retiring at next year's general election.

Ann Clwyd was elected as Labour MP for the Cynon Valley in 1984.

At the time she was only the fourth woman ever to hold a Welsh seat.

Labour Party bosses want to replace her with another woman.

But some members of the party in the Cynon Valley constituency

don't agree and argue they want to find the best

What are we recognise the need to extend the representation of women

in parliament. What we are unhappy about here is

the members have considered the alternative, we were told we are

being consulted about the matter then our views have been ignored.

Women shortlists have already selected candidates in Aberconwy,

Cardiff Central, Cardiff North, Carmarthen West and South

Swansea East have still to select a candidate but they're also

expected to be asked to choose from a woman-only list.

That has caused issues for Labour in the past.

There was a bitter dispute over all-women shortlists within

the party in Blaenau Gwent at the 2005 general election.

The Labour AM Peter Law stood as an independent and overturned

But one of the party's biggest supporters

of the policy says having more women in politics is a good thing.

If we live chance it never happens. If we bring in equality for women

and men, they have a future of all the seats in Wales.

In a statement, the Welsh Labour Party said it leads

the way on female representation in Wales with more women MPs,

AMs and councillors than any other party and will continue to do so.

Two motorcyclists have died and five other people have been

hurt, in a crash between a car and six motorbikes in Flintshire.

It happened on the A5104 at Pontblyddyn,

Five casualties were taken to hospital by ambulance

Two divers who went missing off the Anglesey coast, have been

The alarm was raised at one o'clock, after they failed to return to

More stop checks on drivers will be made over the next month by police

forces across Wales, as part of a summer anti-drink driving campaign.

The family of a man killed by a drunk driver last year are

They've been speaking to Paul Heaney.

I know something in my heart told me that he had died, I knew before I

went in hospital. Julie's son Josh was a passenger in a car last March

when it crashed head-on into a tree. The driver was drunk at the time,

but survived. Josh didn't. He was 20 years old. My best friend has gone.

He has got robbed of growing old. That is the hardest thing for me. We

don't live no more, we just exist. To prevent this happening to more

families, police forces across Wales will be carrying out more stop

checks for drink-driving over the next month. The message, as always,

is very simple. A lot of people are of the mindset of it is only down

the road, it is only one drink. That little momentary lapse of

concentration, you hit a curb, your car spins out of control, that is

when you realise, I wish I hadn't had that drink. You have killed

somebody. Figures from the last major drink drive campaign by police

across Wales show fewer people were caught over the limit behind the

wheel, but the message this summer time from the Williams family is

there are still far too many people taking risks with other people 's

lives. Joe Allen will captain Wales

in their match against Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams

and Aaron Ramsey will all miss Bale has pulled out because

of a leg muscle injury. Glamorgan have been batting

on day one of their championship At the close they were all out

break through the afternoon, writer spells developing from the West.

Tuesday is often cloudy, a mix of sunny spells and showers, a bit

colder. These fronts pushing in from the Atlantic keeping things

Hello. Most of us have enjoyed at least one day of lovely weather this

weekend. That weather will be harder to come by this week. It has been up
