A teenager who is believed to be one of three men from Cardiff to

:00:17.:00:20.

have joined the terrorist group ISIS has told BBC Wales he's

:00:21.:00:23.

Aseel Muthana left home earlier this year to join his brother in Syria.

:00:24.:00:29.

It comes as police investigate a possible link between the men

:00:30.:00:33.

and an 18-year-old arrested in Cardiff under the terrorism act.

:00:34.:00:36.

The end of tonight's temp one programme came through an online web

:00:37.:00:52.

chat with the man we believe to be youngest of the three, 17-year-old

:00:53.:00:56.

Aseel Muthana. -- the interview for tonight's. We

:00:57.:01:01.

asked him if he ever planned to return home. He said, I believe

:01:02.:01:04.

jihad is obligatory and I never planned to return to the UK. Do you

:01:05.:01:09.

have any regrets about leaving the UK and how far are you willing to go

:01:10.:01:13.

for your cause? His response is, nope.

:01:14.:01:16.

I can say I am willing to die. nope.

:01:17.:01:20.

I can say I am willing Aseel Muthana is not the only Cardiff man in

Syria. His brother Nasser Muthana and his friend recently left and

:01:28.:01:35.

appeared in a video promoting ISIS. Despite using aliases and avoiding

:01:36.:01:39.

personal details about their home life, they appear to have been using

:01:40.:01:43.

social media in which they describe the brutal killings by ISIS. A

:01:44.:01:49.

friend of Reyaad Khan's family says his father will be devastated by

:01:50.:01:53.

this. That is going to be heartbreaking,

scheme called Prevent which aims to stop radicalisation, is failing in

:02:22.:02:26.

Wales. It is not working, especially in

:02:27.:02:31.

Wales. The biggest part of it is building resiliency within the

:02:32.:02:34.

community so that when youngsters are indoctrinated with messages that

:02:35.:02:36.

will take them down a particular pathway, they are able to

:02:37.:02:38.

will take them down a particular pathway, they are able push back.

:02:39.:02:42.

That is not being done. South Wales Police, one of the

:02:43.:02:46.

organisations running Prevent, said it is working and there doing all

:02:47.:02:50.

they can to combat radicalisation. Today an 18-year-old man was

:02:51.:02:55.

arrested in the Grangetown area of the city under the Terrorism Act.

:02:56.:02:58.

Police confirmed they are investigating a possible link with

Will the Prime Minister be sure that the FCO continue their excellent

:04:09.:04:14.

work and cooperate with the Greek government to make sure that author

:04:15.:04:18.

is found? I will certainly do everything I can

:04:19.:04:21.

to help the honourable gentleman with his constituent and have

:04:22.:04:24.

discussions with the Foreign Office about all of the consular assistance

:04:25.:04:28.

that is being given and anything else they can do.

:04:29.:04:30.

An elder in a Jehovah's Witness church in Barry

:04:34.:04:35.

Merthyr Crown Court heard Sewell was cleared of the complaints

by a Jehovah's Witness judicial committee after

An independent review of the way the health service in

:04:45.:05:03.

Wales deals with complaints has made more than a 100 recommendations.

:05:04.:05:05.

They include making the process easier to understand, and for it

:05:06.:05:08.

It also calls for improved training for staff.

:05:09.:05:11.

The First Minister has defended his decision not to sack the Environment

:05:12.:05:14.

Minister, Alun Davies, over the way he lobbied race track developers

:05:15.:05:17.

A report published yesterday revealed that he ignored advice

:05:18.:05:20.

from officials when he came out in support of the project.

:05:21.:05:23.

Mr Davies apologised earlier this week.

:05:24.:05:37.

might have made it clear he was acting as an Ian, he might have made

:05:38.:05:41.

it clear he was acting on behalf of constituents. He might have made

:05:42.:05:44.

that clear in terms of the correspondence that he sent, and I

:05:45.:05:50.

take full note of the fact that they themselves have said his comments

:05:51.:05:56.

Carina Witthoeft. -- carry no weight.

:05:57.:05:58.

Almost 50,000 people in Wales are diagnosed with dementia.

:05:59.:06:00.

But many patients here are left without support once

:06:01.:06:03.

The Alzheimer's Society in Wales says services designed to help

:06:04.:06:06.

Not being able to do the simple things like kicking the dog for a

:06:07.:06:18.

walk is what worried Joyce Baker six years ago.

:06:19.:06:21.

She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, one of 45,000 people living

:06:22.:06:28.

with dementia in Wales. Given the facts about the disease under the

:06:29.:06:32.

right support, she now refuses to let an incurable illness get her

:06:33.:06:34.

down. The brain has not forgotten

:06:35.:06:38.

everything, it is because it has a shock because it has got

:06:39.:06:42.

Alzheimer's. I have a great life, I do come and I am very lucky for the

:06:43.:06:46.

people that are with me. We have lots of pictures of family.

:06:47.:06:52.

Ruth Tucker from Pontypool watched her father died of Alzheimer's last

:06:53.:06:58.

year and also didn't know how to help them. Her mother, Daisy, now

:06:59.:07:03.

has it, too. She says information on what to expect was not given to her

:07:04.:07:08.

or her family. You need to have these signposts so

:07:09.:07:12.

that the family or the carers or whoever is looking after the person

:07:13.:07:17.

knows what could be looking out for. The Alzheimer's Society in Wales

:07:18.:07:21.

says information packs for patients, which have been introduced in recent

:07:22.:07:26.

years, have improved things, but they help still varies widely. It is

:07:27.:07:29.

now calling for each person diagnosed with the illness to have

:07:30.:07:34.

their own named individual to help them through a complicated system.

:07:35.:07:37.

It is a frightening diagnosis and if people feel there is nothing that

:07:38.:07:41.

can be offered to them in camps of care and support that makes it even

:07:42.:07:45.

more frightening. -- in terms of care.

:07:46.:07:52.

?130 million has been invested in mental health facilities across

:07:53.:07:57.

Wales. They will also be a focus on what people are still able to do

:07:58.:08:01.

with a little help, leaving them and their families with a brighter

:08:02.:08:02.

future. Football and Marvin Emnes has

:08:03.:08:05.

completed a permanent switch Dutchman has already had two

:08:06.:08:07.

successful loan spells with Let's get the forecast Thailand more

mixed weather on the way? Is, clouding over overnight most

:08:11.:08:27.

certainly and tomorrow patchy rain will be making its way across the

:08:28.:08:32.

country, as well. You can see it gradually getting darker to the east

:08:33.:08:37.

under cloud cover, and to the north of some patchy rain. This will move

:08:38.:08:42.

east tomorrow. Overnight lows, 14-16?C, again quite muddy tonight.

:08:43.:08:46.

The weather front tomorrow moves lethargically across to the east,

:08:47.:08:51.

breaking up as it does so. If we look at the rest of the UK it is

:08:52.:08:54.

part of a cold front, low pressure to the north, winds moving

:08:55.:08:58.

anticlockwise around that system, quite blustery at times, as well,

:08:59.:09:03.

especially along the coast. It could be quite warm in the south-east

:09:04.:09:06.

corner of the UK. They could see the warmest day of the year so far,

:09:07.:09:12.

maybe 27 Celsius. Back to Wales and the patchy rain makes its way east

:09:13.:09:17.

tomorrow, temperatures reaching 21 Celsius, so quite warm, really, many

:09:18.:09:22.

sunny spells. Blustery conditions along the coast. Tomorrow night,

:09:23.:09:26.

again, the same story - patchy rain making its way across to the east,

:09:27.:09:31.

heavy downpours. Overnight lows, 13-16 Celsius. On the outlook, it is

:09:32.:09:39.

looking fairly mixed. Some rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday some

:09:40.:09:42.

patchy rain and showers, with some sunny spells, but hopefully we will

:09:43.:09:45.

see more in the way of high-pressure, so we will see some

:09:46.:09:51.

blue skies overhead. That is Wales today, more on our top

:09:52.:09:56.

story with Tim Rogers next on Week In Week Out. From all of us here,

:09:57.:09:58.

good night.
