And that is all from us. There is more throughout the evening on the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Thousands of families could miss out on claiming back money they | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
shouldn't have paid for health care for their loved ones | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The dramatic rescue of a nine-year-old girl - stuck | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The young volunteer who saved her says time was of the essence. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
We had to get her out as quick as we could. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Pupil power - schoolchildren march on Wrexham | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
Council asking for its employees to be paid the living wage. | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
Another twist in Welsh rugby - the four regions offer the Welsh Rugby | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And he's our most successful Olympian - two statues are unveiled | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
Families who paid for care fees that should have been | :00:51. | :01:13. | |
funded by the NHS have until the end of this month to reclaim the money. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Tonight there have been calls to extend that deadline | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
amid warnings that thousands of families in Wales could miss out. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
It costs ?278 million a year to provide continuing health | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
?50 million has already been paid out. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Eileen Puc had to be cared for in a nursing home until she died in 2009. | :01:32. | :01:44. | |
She was immobile after suffering from three strokes and she was | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
severely diabetic but she was told that her health needs were not great | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
enough for the NHS to pay for her fees so she was forced to | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Mrs Puc's brother-in-law battled to get that decision | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
overturned but only after three appeals and two upheld complaints to | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
A process that he describes as traumatic. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
I asked them on one occasion, how ill does one have to be to | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
These people cannot look after themselves anymore | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
They paid their taxes and their National Insurance contributions | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
and were never a burden to society and when it came to their case, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
for them to be looked after, they had to pay for themselves. | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
If, like Mrs Puc, someone is receiving care | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
for a health need - either in a nursing home or in their own | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
But many are unaware of the funding or are wrongly denied the money when | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
they are assessed - potentially leading to a retrospective appeal. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
And now, thousands of people are at risk of missing the deadline to | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
reclaim fees as the Welsh Government says that claims must be made at the | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
end of this month for care received between April 2003 and July 2013. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
The government was expecting 3,000 applicants but | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
so far only 29 have come forward with only two weeks left to apply. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
It's crucial that people know that the deadline is looming. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
They need to have all the right information to know | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
whether this information applies to them and whether they will be due | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Unfortunately, this deadline hasn't been publicised | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
as widely as we would like to see it and it's also been | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
The Welsh Government strongly rejects the claims. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
As part of a publicity campaign, it's given posters and leaflets to | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
It's also put the information online. | :03:35. | :03:55. | |
It is quite clear the publicity campaign hasn't worked and that is | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
why we need to see an extension of the deadline by at least three | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
months, so that the families have the opportunity to make their | :04:09. | :04:09. | |
claims. Professor Dame June Clark is | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
a member of the Royal Commission on long term care | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
and former professor of community So many of the assessments were not | :04:17. | :04:42. | |
appealed and then in many cases the decision was overturned. That shows | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
how flawed the system of continuing health care is. It is true that the | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
deadline is a problem but I see that as only a symptom of the underlying | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
problem. Our families are aware of this? I think not enough of them | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
are. You have to recognise in a way it is in the interests of the NHS, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
which should be giving people as much in formation as possible. It is | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
in their interest is that people don't apply because the more people | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
that are deemed eligible to receive continuing health care, the greater | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
the bill to the NHS. The annual cost for health boards is 278 million so | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
we are looking at a small fraction of the annual cost. It is a hell of | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
a loss of money for an individual family. There are issues that make | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
me angry-the banks and the suffering that families applying for health | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
and advice is to go through. The other thing that makes me really | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
angry is the waste of money that there is an running a bureaucratic, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
complicated system, when that money could and should have been spent on | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
providing the correct care that people need. What changes should be | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
put in place? The first one is what Scotland has done and what England | :06:15. | :06:26. | |
is talking about giving, which is instead of having separate budget | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
for health and social care, they should be confined to pool budgets | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
and the reason for that is that continuing health care is, in my | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
opinion, not about assessing peoples needs but it is about cost shunting. | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
The whole system of assessments to cost the device, that is a waste of | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
money. Thank you very much. And if you need anymore information | :06:45. | :06:52. | |

worst nightmare - thankfully A nine-year-old schoolgirl, playing | :07:08. | :07:19. | |
hide-and-seek, got wedged between giant rocks as the tide was coming | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
in at Aberaeron near Aberystwyth. With the lifeboat crew struggling to | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
find a way to free her, the youngest team member, just 17, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
had to squeeze himself between the rocks and submerge | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
himself in water to free her. Lucy, these are the folks were the | :07:38. | :07:55. | |
nine-year-old girl got stuck last night. You can see these are massive | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
boulders, weighing between five and six tonnes in weight. When the RNLI | :07:59. | :08:10. | |
came here, they realised it was a race against the clock. This | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
dramatic footage shows the urgency of the rescue for the RNLI. A | :08:19. | :08:31. | |
nine-year-old girl, Eira, got stuck. She slipped while playing hide and | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
seek. Tom, can you fit down their? Take the stuff off. Take your life | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
jacket off... The only way to free her was to send the youngest crew | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
member in to cut off her Wellington boot. 17-year-old Thom Evans was on | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
his first call-out. If you don't think you can do it, don't do it. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Slide in and cut off her Wellington boot. It was a tough situation to go | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
through. Tough for your first call-out. What was going through | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
your mind? Remap the first thing that went through my mind is, this | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
is quite a serious scenario for her to be in and I have to do this. The | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
tide is coming in thick. We decided to try and get in and out as fast as | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
we could with her free and safe. Joe Perry welly as much as you can. The | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
urgency of the call-out can be seen from this footage. Within an hour, | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
the girl would have been underwater. I will get down the back. The front | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
is the problem. With some quick thinking, Eira was freed. The | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
nine-year-old helped make this a successful rescue by staying calm. | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
Well done, Tom. Well done. This dramatic rescue made sure that an | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
innocent game of hide and Seek didn't end in tragedy. Joyous scenes | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
in the video when Eira was actually released from these rocks. She has | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
been back to school today and she is safe and well. The crew members have | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
spoken to her parents, who are wakeful. Eira is planning to give | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
them a gift and a card and to say thank you. She will be eternally | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
thankful from being saved from these rocks and the incoming tide. | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
A man found guilty of shooting his estranged wife after she left him | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
for another man has been jailed for life, with the judge recommending he | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Newport Crown Court heard how 50-year-old Christopher Parry shot | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Caroline Parry twice in the back before turning | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
Sentencing him the judge said he accepted he'd been | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
suffering a significant depressive illness at the time. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
The Conservative MP for Monmouth David Davies has called | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
on the UK Government to solve problems surrounding the issuing | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
of passports following an increasing number of complaints | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
It comes a month after a row broke out over delays to | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Home Secretary Theresa May denied there was a crisis, but said there | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
A 38-year-old woman has appeared before Cardiff Crown Court accused | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
of seven charges of possessing and distributing indecent images | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
The charges against Joanne Mjadzelics from Doncaster | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
followed an investigation into singer Ian Watkins. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
She pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
Developments in the world of Welsh rugby this afternoon. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
The future of Welsh rugby has been thrown deeper into doubt. | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
Regional Rugby Wales has insisted the new proposed agreement | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
for the future of the game is ?completely unacceptable? to them. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
It's also emerged the four rugby regions have written | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
to the Welsh Rugby Union offering to take them over. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
BBC Wales has seen a copy of the letter, in which | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
the regions also consider their options over international players. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Gareth Lewis has been following the story - another twist and a | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
And other that the union are unlikely to take up, giving | :12:21. | :12:32. | |
financial considerations on both sides. It is financial crunch time | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
for the regions. Usually they would expect a payment from the WRU at | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
this time of year but they haven't had it because there is no agreement | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
between the two at the moment. The old deal ran out at the end of last | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
month and both sides are locked in talks. It has been going on for | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
months. The regions are now saying they would like this sorted by the | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
18th of July, a week today. There seems to be some disagreement about | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
the likely that is to be. As we understand it the union thinks it is | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
achievable but the regions saying it is completely unacceptable. The WRU | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
say they are disappointed. Where does this leave the players? A | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
really good question and that is where it gets interesting. We have | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
seen documents that showing in a number of options -- show a number | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
of options. It concerns release of players for international duty. | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Without it, regions are considering what they should do. Among those | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
options are going to the their minimum in terms of their relief, | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
and releasing players for five days before a Wales match, which is the | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
minimum. Also withholding players from the extra forth into autumn | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
international, this year against South Africa. At the extreme end of | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
the scale, if things continue without agreement, the possibility | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
of off-loading players, including their top Wales, to cut their cloth | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
accordingly. Neither side is very keen on viewing the 18th of July as | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
a deadline but I think, inevitably, as this runs, there will be a lot of | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
focus on a week today to see if agreement can be found. | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
What are the chances of the agreement? | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
I would the happier predict the winner of the World Cup- Germany! | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Competing in the River Taff in 1925 - two statues commemorate | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the man who's been described as Wales' forgotten sporting hero. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
And motorbike racing with no brakes - we have a go ahead of this | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Schoolchildren have met the leader of Wrexham council to ask | :14:50. | :15:03. | |
for its employees to be paid at least the Living Wage. | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
The students, from St Joseph's School, have been | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
working with a local charity to raise awareness of the issue. | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
At the moment, the minimum wage is ?6.31 an hour. | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
It's calculated by experts who've assessed what's needed to cover | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
the basic cost of living, and works out as ?15,500 a year. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
With the details, here's Matthew Richards. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
These 12 and 13-year-old students might seem | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
young to be concerned with how much adults earn but some have parents | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
who are earning the legal minimum and are struggling to provide. | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Their school has been working with a Wrexham charity to learn | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
about the issues and to call on Wrexham council to join other public | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
and private sector institutions to pay the ?7.65 an hour wage. | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
They know their families don't want to be reliant on food banks. It is | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
about having a level of respect. These pupils are aged 12 and 13 but | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
they are aware of those families. They haven't got enough to keep | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
their family going and they have to go on benefits, which will cost the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
council more. I have got personal friends whose parents are suffering | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
and have got more than one job. Don't think that is fair because | :16:18. | :16:31. | |
they don't get to see their parents. What do the rest of us know about | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
it? I think it makes sense, living in Wrexham where there are lots of | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
people on a very low pay. Zero hours contracts and so on. They suffer. It | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
is a struggle for France but I think they have to find other ways in | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
order to provide the living wage. Some small firms say they would find | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
it hard to meet the higher level Economic aid, it is suicidal for | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
small businesses as they are in the process of building their businesses | :17:05. | :17:05. | |
and cannot afford extra overheads. Wrexham's council leader told us he | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
agreed to meet some pupils as part of a school project | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
but was concerned many more were involved in the march | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
and being used for political gain. TCC, which organised it, | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
says parents were informed of the event and given the option to | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
excuse their children, none did. Pupils will now wait to hear whether | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
the council decides to pay up. A charity which helps young people | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
in Wales have their say on Welsh politics has warned it faces closure | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
after losing its funding. Funky Dragon, | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
the Youth Assembly for Wales, includes youngsters elected from | :17:36. | :17:36. | |
each local council area to discuss The Welsh Government, which provides | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
the funding, says its grants will support other organisations offering | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
a similar service. New rules setting-out the way public | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
bodies offer services in Welsh need to be flexible enough to reflect | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
the different levels of Welsh spoken That's according to the leader | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
of Gwynedd Council Dyfed Edwards, who's been negotiating on behalf of | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
councils with the Welsh Government The First Minister will | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
respond next week. Back to Claire now for the rest | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
of the day's sport. He was Britain's most successful | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Olympian until a certain Sir Steve Redgrave won | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
his fifth gold medal in 2000. But little is known of | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Cardiff-born Paulo Radmilovic. Today two statues of the swimmer | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
were unveiled in Swansea. He may have lost | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
his British crown after 80 years but Paulo Radmilovic is still | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
Wales' most successful Olympian. Between 1908 and 1928 he competed in | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
five Games, winning four gold medals Today his achievements were | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
celebrated in Swansea as two statues of Wales' first gold | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
medallist were unveiled at the LC. One of his team-mates from the 1928 | :18:57. | :19:10. | |
Olympics was my very first coach, so we did have the links going back | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
then. It has inspired us all to train hard and train hard and get as | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
far into the sport as we can be. These statues were made | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad Exhibition but they've been | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
in storage since the tour finished. They've now been brought here to | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Swansea to inspire Raddy, as he was known, was raised | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
in the Tiger Bay area of Cardiff by He began swimming in the city's | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
rivers and canals at an early age. He won a gold for winning the swim | :19:35. | :19:51. | |
in the Fire Gardens, the annual swim. You think, so what? You read | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
on the bowl, in very tiny lettering, it says, winner of the swim - Paulo | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
matchwinner vetch -- Paulo red mini pitch, aged eight years. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
And here he is competing in the river Taff nearly 30 years | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
He's since been described as our forgotten sporting hero. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Now it's hoped this swimmer's story and his achievements will | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
One of the biggest events in British motorsport comes to Wales this | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
The Millennium Stadium's hosting the British Speedway Grand Prix, where | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
the top riders will be hitting speeds of up to 80mph, and all this | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
Our reporter Victoria Turner had to summon up all her courage | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
It's racing at its most raw. Last year's Speedway Grand Prix shows | :20:47. | :21:04. | |
just how exciting and how dangerous the sport can be. The bikes have no | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
brakes and riders approach the corners at speeds of more than 70 | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
mph. Often shoulder to shoulder with their rivals. The event is back at | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
the millennium date him this weekend for the 14th year in a row. It is | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
the big event. We refer to it as our Monaco. Writers and fans believe | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
this is the big one for them. People come from all over the world and | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
they put this date in their diary at the start of the year. This is where | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
the whales were eating normally change for big matches. But this | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
weekend, it is where the top speedway riders will be putting | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
their leathers on. Thankfully, I had a good teacher - a speedway legend | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
and three times world champion. What is the thing I should remember to | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
do? You should remember to be careful and when I let this out, use | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
your throttle. My father they used to say use your throttle. Go steady | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
on that. Good luck. After a couple of false starts I | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
finally get a taste of what the riders will see as they fly round | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
the track for the top it is quite an intense experience, even at a gentle | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
speed. The noise, the dust and the knowledge you've only got your feet | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
and the engine to slow down. Now you can get the feeling what it is to go | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
around. Fantastic. The riders are very skilful. We called on bikes for | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
the top The record for competing for lack of the track is 54 seconds. My | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
time was considerably slimmer. A potential crowd of more than 60,000 | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
people can look forward to watching the real experts on race night. It | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
has been seven years as a British rider won at the millennium | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
Stadium. Fans hope that will be the night. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
Glamorgan's cricketers are back in Twenty20 Blast action this evening. | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
They're at the Oval to take on Surrey. | :23:25. | :23:26. | |

Sue, will it stay fine for the weekend? | :23:31. | :23:59. | |
It's been another mostly fine day for Wales, and humid. | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
Warmest further east - Usk the hotspot at 26C. | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
24 in Newbridge on Wye and Presteigne. | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
Then the weekend starts off humid with some sunny spells | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
further east but rain pushing in from the west through Saturday. | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
Clearing early Sunday to leave a brighter but fresher day. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
A fine evening for most, with clear spells. | :24:14. | :24:14. | |
Cloud could be thick enough for the odd spot | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
of drizzle overnight - some coastal mist and hill fog forming but | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
otherwise dry and mild at 10-15 Celsius. | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
We can see from the pressure chart that it goes downhill | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
from tomorrow - these fronts push in from the Atlantic, bringing a more | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
It should be fine at first tomorrow further east with sunny spells | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
before thicker cloud and mainly patchy rain push in from the west. | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Not huge amounts but the potential for some heavier | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
As that front moves eastwards winds pick up too. | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
Not as warm further west - 17 Celsius in Pembrokeshire | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
and remaining humid further east at 21 in Wrexham and Flintshire. | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
That front continues to moves eastwards Saturday night | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
The rain easing slowly but remaining cloudy and very mild | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
overnight, with temperatures staying in the mid teens. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
Then those early showers will clear on Sunday, turning into a brighter | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
but breezier day with more in the way of sunshine by the afternoon. | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
Still fairly warm at 17 to 20 but a fresher feel as we lose that | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Then as one weather systems clears eastwards another one pushes in | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
from the Atlantic - to bring further rain on Monday. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
So the weekend starts humid with sunshine and shower rain clearing | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
That slightly fresher but more changeable regime | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
for the start of next week but then signs of things turning noticeably | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
warmer from midweek onwards, with heat building from the south-west. | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
Today's photo is from Gerwyn Gibbs from Mountain Ash, | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
taken at a very breezy but fairly sunny Elan Valley in Powys. | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
Don't forget, you can send your pictures. Especially if they help to | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
tell a weather story. It's almost 7 o'clock | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
the main news again from the BBC: Families who paid | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
for care fees that should have been funded by the NHS have until the end | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
of this month to reclaim the money. Tonight there have been calls | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
to extend that deadline. The Welsh Government say that there | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
has been A nine-year-old schoolgirl who got | :26:47. | :26:59. | |
wedged between giant rocks near Aberystwyth has been pulled to | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
safety by the RNLI. The youngest team member, just 17, had to squeeze | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
himself between the rocks and submerge himself in the water to | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
free her. She will meet her rescuers tomorrow to say thank you. | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
And the future of Welsh rugby has been thrown | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
Regional Rugby Wales has insisted the new proposed agreement | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
for the future of the game is 'completely unacceptable' to them. | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
It's also emerged the four rugby regions have written | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
to the Welsh Rugby Union offering them the chance to take them over. | :27:28. | :27:36. | |
And that is Wales Today. A quick update at 8pm and more after the BBC | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
News at 10pm. From all of us on the programme, had a good evening and | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
great weekend. Goodbye. | :27:47. | :27:48. |
