That's all from the team here in Glasgow. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Hello. After years of training and preparation, Team Wales have begun | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Welsh athletes walked out with competitors from seventy other | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
nations to mark the opening ceremony of the games in Glasgow. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
The build up has been dominated with news of leading medal hopes pulling | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
out - but Team Wales say, they can still reach their pre-games | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
It is one of the biggest parties Glasgow has ever thrown. A colourful | :00:38. | :01:08. | |
start to 11 days of competition. It is a night Frankie Jones will never | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
forget. Leading team Wales out. Frankie Jones is leading them out. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
It is her third and final Commonwealth Games, a series of | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
injuries mean she has been preparing through the pain was a physio was on | :01:26. | :01:39. | |
hand just in case. For many, it was their first taste of the | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Commonwealth Games. Soon, these athletes would be competing against | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
70 other nations and territories. We have early chances, we have lost hot | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
favourites in triathlon but we still have cyclists going and gymnasts. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
So, there may be some chances and ten days of this competition. Team | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
Wales will hope the Opening Ceremony will draw a line under a difficult | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
few days. Injuries to medal hopefuls was followed by a drugs charge to | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
one of the athletes. Yesterday, Fred Evans banned from the games because | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
of his criminal record. It gives me the greatest pleasure to declare the | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
20th Commonwealth Games open. So, on a night when Glasgow welcome the | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
games competitions cannot start soon enough for team Wales. The real | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
business of winning medals is about to begin. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Police say further charges have been brought against three nurses | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
in connection with the alleged falsification | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
of patients' notes at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
It comes as another nurse has been suspended as part of | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
It brings the total number of suspensions from there to 14, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
with one other from Swansea's Morriston hospital. | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
The Labour MP for Cynon Valley, Ann Clwyd, says she may stand at next | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
In February she announced her intention to stand down, having | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
But she says she's now 'weighing up her options' - Welsh labour says it | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
hasn't been formally approached and is in the process of arranging for a | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
full selection - its plan to use an all women shortlist to select her | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Three Appeal Court judges have thrown out an attempt by the former | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
Lost Prophets singer, Ian Watkins, against his sentence for a string | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Watkins was sentenced to 29 years in prison last year. | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
One of his co-defendants also appealed against her jail term. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Ian Watkins was jailed last November after admitting 13 child sex | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
offences including the attempted rape of a baby. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
The former singer with the Lost Prophets was sentenced to | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
a total of 29 years in prison and a further six on licence for | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
a case which the trial judge said "plunged new depths of depravity". | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Today, neither he nor one of his codefendants, who was jailed for | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
17 years, were in court as their lawyers asked three Appeal Court | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
The QC said the sentence was too high because he pleaded guilty at | :04:15. | :04:29. | |
the start of the trial and his offences were not the worst to ever | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
come before the court. Watkins was sentenced to 15 years | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
for two offences and 14 for another two, which | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
his counsel said was too much. The sentence should have been less | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
for both of them. But the judges disagreed and decided | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
the punishments were appropriate. These were, in our view, offences | :04:49. | :05:03. | |
against infant children of such shocking depravity that a very | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
lengthy sentence of imprisonment was demanded. Notwithstanding the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
absence of physical injury. Today's decision confirms | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
the earlier sentences. That means Watkins will now have to | :05:18. | :05:18. | |
serve at least 16 years and 10 months in jail before he can | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
be considered for release. A football club in Powys has pleaded | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
guilty to breaching health and safety legislation | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
after a twelve year old boy died Casey Breese from Caersws had | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
been playing with friends when The club admitted responsibility | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
for the posts - A statement was read out | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
on behalf of Casey Breese's family. The change of plea to guilty | :05:42. | :05:58. | |
represents an acceptance by the football club of their involvement | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
with the goalposts that fell and crushed Casey. They are happy with | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the outcome of the case, losing Casey has been a terrible blow for | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
the family. There are fresh calls | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
for the chief executive of Pembrokeshire Council to be | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
suspended - after police confirmed a new investigation has been | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
launched into payments he received Earlier this year the Wales Audit | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Office found the payments made to Bryn Parry Jones and another | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
senior officer were unlawful. The first police inquiry found no | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
evidence of criminal offences but This is the man at the centre | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
of this controversy. The Chief Executive of Pembrokeshire | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
Council, Bryn Parry Jones. Back in January the | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Wales Audit Office ruled cash payments made to him and another | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
senior officer instead of pension Four months later | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
a police investigation concluded there was no evidence to suggest any | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
criminal offence had taken place. And last week the local authority | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
decided not to take any further action to try and reclaim the salary | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
supplements worth more than ?45,000. But in a new twist fresh information | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
has now emerged and a second police Because of the close working | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
relationship between Dyfed Powys Police and Pembrokeshire Council | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
this one will also be carried out It's understood the new information | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
relates to questions over who wrote this confidential document | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
which has been shown to BBC Wales. Written | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
in September 2011 it's a report that recommends that senior staff should | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
be allowed to substitute pension Mr Parry Jones, who earns more | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
than ?220,000 a year is now facing calls to step aside until the | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
police have completed their work. It's very clear | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
if any other member of staff at the council was under investigation | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
they would be suspended from duty. Now that's not us saying he is | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
guilty, that's us saying there is Mr Parry Jones needs to be | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
suspended while those It's only right and proper | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
and it would apply to any other Pembrokeshire Council said it's | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
aware of the new investigation and it will cooperate fully with | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
the police. In the meantime Mr Parry | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
Jones is still in his post. Plans for a giant solar park, | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
with 180 thousand panels, have been given the go ahead | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
by Flintshire councillors. The 270-acre site next to | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Deeside Industrial Estate WAS earmarked for agricultural use - | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
and objectors argued unsuccessfully that the solar park should be | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
on a brownfield site instead. The firm behind the plans - | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
Swansea based Compton Group - says, the park could generate enough | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
power for 11 thousand homes over Most councils | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
in Wales are making good progress in carrying out measures designed | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
to prevent another ecoli outbreak, The Food Standards Agency was asked | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
to look at how the recommendations of the Pennington inquriy - | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
which examined the 2005 outbreak, when five year old Mason Jones died | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
- have been implemented. The one issued a report picks out | :09:19. | :09:33. | |
for further attention in Wales is the way in which we police food for | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
animals above -- at the start of the food chain and it's important. The | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
quality and safety of the food that ends up on your plate begins right | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
at the start of the process. And now, a look at the weather. Today | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
was the hottest day of the year so far, temperatures nearly reaching 30 | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
Celsius. I am terribly sorry. We may be able to return to the weather | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
forecast but I think we may not be able to. Later today, the first team | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
Wales medals could be one on the opening day of the Commonwealth | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
Games. Wales has big hopes in the pool - | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Jazz Carlin swims The paracyclist Rhiannon Henry goes | :10:22. | :10:24. | |

of running a business in rural Wales were under discussion | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
today at the Royal Welsh Show. Many businesses and homes | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
in more remote parts of Wales are still struggling to get | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
