competitions between 1956 and 1960. That's all from us.

:00:00.:00:16.

Officers from North Wales Police who've travelled to Greece to help

:00:17.:00:21.

with the search for missing Denbigh pensioner Arthur Jones

:00:22.:00:23.

say they're trying to track down Welsh holidaymakers.

:00:24.:00:27.

It's believed they may have met the 73-year-old on the island of Crete.

:00:28.:00:31.

Mr Jones hasn't been seen since 19th June,

:00:32.:00:35.

two days after he arrived on holiday.

:00:36.:00:38.

Police have found his name in a visitors' book

:00:39.:00:40.

What happens to Arthur Jones and where could he have gone on the

:00:41.:00:56.

island of Crete? That has been the only thing on his son's mind for the

:00:57.:01:00.

past few weeks. I called up with him today. I have been fearing the

:01:01.:01:05.

worst, but you have got to stay positive. The people back home, the

:01:06.:01:12.

community, everything they have done, it gives you a boost and

:01:13.:01:18.

raises morale. You hit the point, every other are you thinking

:01:19.:01:23.

different scenarios in your head. But with possible sightings, he has

:01:24.:01:31.

got the experience to survive, we think he has got money on him.

:01:32.:01:36.

Carter Jones was staying at the Sawtell and he was last seen here.

:01:37.:01:40.

In truth, that is the only concrete information the family has. He

:01:41.:01:43.

mentioned he might be going for a walk, the coast, the mountains.

:01:44.:01:50.

Officers from North Wales Police have arrived to lend a hand. A

:01:51.:01:54.

welcome sight for Arthur Jones's friends and family. After's

:01:55.:02:00.

signature is on a guestbook is a war memorial. The other names could be

:02:01.:02:06.

vital. We went straight to the cemetery where we now Arthur had

:02:07.:02:14.

visited. In the visitors book the remains of two couples from England

:02:15.:02:17.

and somebody from Wales whose signature is legible. We're making

:02:18.:02:21.

an appeal for those people to come forward. In order to help us with

:02:22.:02:27.

enquiries. That coupled with a possible sighting of Arthur Jones

:02:28.:02:32.

gives the family hope. If he has just gone for a walk for now, got

:02:33.:02:40.

lost, not enough water, started getting dehydrated, he could easily

:02:41.:02:45.

have gone off track. At the moment, there are more questions than

:02:46.:02:48.

answers for this North Wales family in the heat of Crete. But with help

:02:49.:02:52.

from home they are determined to find out what happened to Arthur

:02:53.:02:53.

Jones. Back home, police searching

:02:54.:02:56.

for a man missing in Llanelli have confirmed

:02:57.:02:59.

a body has been found. Richard Chandler

:03:00.:03:00.

from Northamptonshire was working in the area when he disappeared

:03:01.:03:03.

after a night out last Thursday. A man's body has been found in

:03:04.:03:06.

the Delta Lakes area of the town. The 25-year-old?s family

:03:07.:03:10.

have been informed but the body hasn't been

:03:11.:03:13.

formally identified. A jury will continue to consider

:03:14.:03:17.

its verdict tomorrow in the trial of a man accused of shooting

:03:18.:03:21.

his wife dead in Newport. Caroline Parry was shot in

:03:22.:03:24.

the back near her home last August. Christopher Parry was found

:03:25.:03:27.

critically wounded nearby. Newport Crown Court

:03:28.:03:31.

has heard he shot her because he couldn't accept

:03:32.:03:33.

she'd left him. But he claims he meant

:03:34.:03:35.

to shoot himself only. Mr Parry, from Cwmbran,

:03:36.:03:37.

denies murder More than 150 under-18s in Wales

:03:38.:03:38.

have been accused of sex offences against other children in the past

:03:39.:03:43.

two years according to figures released by the charity the NSPCC

:03:44.:03:45.

from three Welsh police forces. In one case,

:03:46.:03:49.

a boy of 10 was cautioned. The charity says the findings

:03:50.:03:53.

are "deeply concerning". The mother of a man

:03:54.:03:59.

who was kidnapped in 2007 and then killed by Iraqi militants

:04:00.:04:01.

has told Wales Today the Foreign Office treated him

:04:02.:04:04.

like a second-class citizen. Alec MacLachlan from Llanelli was

:04:05.:04:09.

one of five men captured in Baghdad. Today, the leader of the group who

:04:10.:04:13.

took them has apologised for their deaths and blamed the UK government

:04:14.:04:18.

for not doing enough to intervene. This video was released by his

:04:19.:04:37.

captors. In 2007, the IT expert was training government officials in

:04:38.:04:42.

Baghdad when he was kidnapped. Four men who were working for a private

:04:43.:04:51.

security firm is as bodyguards. They were also captured. There was a

:04:52.:04:55.

media blackout on reporting details about the case. Interviews with the

:04:56.:05:01.

men's families were limited. But they spoke to the BBC to appeal for

:05:02.:05:06.

their safe return. I plead with the people who have got my son to send

:05:07.:05:10.

him home. We love and miss him so much. The men were taken from

:05:11.:05:17.

government offices by militants dressed as Iraqi policeman. Two

:05:18.:05:21.

years after they were taken, the bodies of two of the bodyguards were

:05:22.:05:25.

taken. They had been shot. Alec MacLachlan was found and returned.

:05:26.:05:32.

The fourth bodyguard was also killed. Three months later, the man

:05:33.:05:38.

they were protecting is freed. His captors now say the British

:05:39.:05:40.

government is responsible for what happened. TRANSLATION: I think the

:05:41.:05:45.

British government is responsible for their deaths. The British

:05:46.:05:50.

government only concentrated on Peter Myrtle for the bodyguards were

:05:51.:05:53.

second-class citizens. That was a surprise. Peter Miller is now

:05:54.:06:02.

working in the Caribbean. He spoke to us from Guyana. I did not feel

:06:03.:06:07.

like I had a priority are anything like that. Maybe, in 2009, once they

:06:08.:06:14.

knew that the others were dead, maybe it became more of a priority

:06:15.:06:18.

to me because they knew I was alive. But I don't believe that any greater

:06:19.:06:21.

priority was given to me over the guards. The League Of The Righteous

:06:22.:06:30.

is now a political as well as military force in Iraq. They are

:06:31.:06:34.

involved in the recent threat from ISIS. We spoke to Alec MacLachlan's

:06:35.:06:39.

family today, his mother was too upset to talk but told me she agreed

:06:40.:06:44.

with those comments. She felt the British government had publicised

:06:45.:06:48.

and prioritised Peter over her son and the other bodyguards. Five years

:06:49.:06:52.

after their deaths, no one has yet been brought to justice. Although

:06:53.:06:56.

his mother did not want to give an interview on camera, she did tell me

:06:57.:06:59.

she will continue to fight for justice for her son. The Foreign

:07:00.:07:04.

Office told us today they take the kidnapping of British nationals

:07:05.:07:06.

extremely seriously. The responsibility for the deaths lies

:07:07.:07:11.

entirely with those who kidnapped and murdered them.

:07:12.:07:14.

Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas has been back on his bike

:07:15.:07:16.

as the 2014 Tour de France travelled to London.

:07:17.:07:19.

where more than two million people lined the route.

:07:20.:07:22.

Thomas raised concerns over the safety of some spectators who put

:07:23.:07:25.

cyclists at risk by standing in the road to take photos of themselves.

:07:26.:07:31.

Football, and Cardiff City Bluebirds beat Carmarthen Town 3-0

:07:32.:07:33.

Swansea City, who are in Chicago training, start their

:07:34.:07:38.

Premier League campaign away to Manchester United on August 16th.

:07:39.:07:42.

Manager Garry Monk is hoping Spanish striker Michu, who's understood not

:07:43.:07:46.

to have travelled with the squad, stays at the Liberty Stadium.

:07:47.:07:50.

He's been linked with a move to Italian side Napoli.

:07:51.:07:56.

Let?s take a look at what the weather has in store.

:07:57.:07:59.

Thank you. We have a few showers dotted around, but the tendency is

:08:00.:08:09.

for the weather to become dry in the overnight period. Tomorrow we have

:08:10.:08:13.

got bright spells to look forward to, but there is a scattering of

:08:14.:08:16.

showers in the forecast as well. Those showers will feed away

:08:17.:08:19.

overnight, becoming dry, remaining cloudy, the quote is thick enough to

:08:20.:08:24.

produce light cloudy, the quote is thick enough to

:08:25.:08:25.

rain or drizzle. Mist and fog forming, overnight temperatures ten,

:08:26.:08:31.

13 Celsius. High pressure is trying to build from the south west, which

:08:32.:08:34.

will settle things down through tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday.

:08:35.:08:38.

Low pressure is not too far away to the east of us either. First thing

:08:39.:08:42.

tomorrow morning, a cloudy start, sunshine gets to work and will

:08:43.:08:46.

brighten up. A few showers dotted around. For the rest of the UK, the

:08:47.:08:52.

spine of the United Kingdom, heavy showers in the forecast, there is a

:08:53.:08:55.

yellow warning for those at risk of localised flooding. Elsewhere,

:08:56.:09:00.

sunshine and showers. Certainly improving across Wales as we go

:09:01.:09:04.

through tomorrow afternoon. We can look forward to sunshine and fewer

:09:05.:09:07.

showers. The breeze picks up from the north-westerly direction with

:09:08.:09:14.

high temperatures of 16 18 Celsius. Where they should be for the time of

:09:15.:09:17.

year. Tomorrow night we will see clear skies at first. Lower Tebbit

:09:18.:09:24.

as of 11, 13 Celsius. -- lower temperatures. On Wednesday, as long

:09:25.:09:30.

as we can find shelter from the breeze it is a very nice day. We can

:09:31.:09:34.

look forward to dry conditions with some sunshine, high temperatures of

:09:35.:09:40.

21 Celsius. On Thursday a bit more unsettled across eastern counties

:09:41.:09:42.

where we could see cloud and rain. The best of the drier and brighter

:09:43.:09:48.

weather for Pembrokeshire. Something a bit warmer as we head towards the

:09:49.:09:51.

end of the week. That is the forecast.

:09:52.:10:01.
