of a radical plan to shake up the student loan system,

:00:00.3:59:59

but games in Glasgow, where history has

:00:00.:00:29.

been made tonight, as we have heard. Swimmer Jazz Carlin has become the

:00:30.:00:33.

first Welsh woman in 40 years to win a gold medal in the pool. The

:00:34.:00:36.

23-year-old from Swansea broke her own Commonwealth record to win the

:00:37.:00:41.

800 metres freestyle. It was an emotional night for jazz and her

:00:42.:00:50.

family, as our reporter details. Representing Wales, Jazz Carlin.

:00:51.:00:57.

A rare sight at the Commonwealth and is. You would have to go back 40

:00:58.:01:01.

years to find the last Welsh woman getting gold in the poll. -- pool.

:01:02.:01:12.

Overwhelmed and emotional, Jazz Carlin took that elusive top prize.

:01:13.:01:19.

I can't believe it. Seeing the Welsh flag go up, I'm getting emotional.

:01:20.:01:24.

It's going to be amazing. I'm hoping all the Welsh supporters will have

:01:25.:01:29.

seen the flag go up for gold. Yeah, I think my mum and dad have been

:01:30.:01:33.

there for me. It would just be so good for them to see me on the

:01:34.:01:38.

podium, and it all paid off. Jazz was favourite and she did not

:01:39.:01:42.

disappoint. It was close up until the final lap, and then she'd

:01:43.:01:47.

powered ahead, breaking the Commonwealth record. After a

:01:48.:01:50.

difficult two years with injury and illness and disappointment at

:01:51.:01:52.

missing out on the Olympics, this is a reward. And after the podium,

:01:53.:02:00.

there was time to meet fans and pose for itself the with team-mates. Our

:02:01.:02:07.

female swimmers won a gold in the pool since 1974. Now, that unwanted

:02:08.:02:13.

record, lasting for decades, was swept away here tonight. I was

:02:14.:02:21.

supposed to be there during the ceremony, but I was late because I

:02:22.:02:24.

was listening to the anthem, which you did I hear very often,

:02:25.:02:28.

especially in this in Gulf. It was a very special moment, she deserved

:02:29.:02:32.

that moment so much. But there were no medals in the butterfly, would be

:02:46.:02:48.

golden girl of Welsh swimming. What a night at the pool. And in the

athletics this evening, there was a medal for Rhys Jones Africans to

:02:56.:03:01.

claim bronze at Hampden Park. But the start of the day brought

:03:02.:03:05.

disappointment for team Wales. Captain Aled Sian Davies, despite

:03:06.:03:10.

being a firm favourite, had to settle for silver. He was beaten by

:03:11.:03:15.

England's Dan Greaves. There was also a bronze for Wales' men in the

:03:16.:03:18.

triple bowls. As things stand, the medal tally

:03:19.:03:23.

tonight is 22 medals for team Wales, already three more than in

:03:24.:03:28.

Delhi three years ago, and I can tell you tonight that Jazz Carlin

:03:29.:03:31.

could add to that tally again tomorrow. She goes in the 400 metres

:03:32.:03:35.

heat first thing in the morning. What a night for her. That is it for

:03:36.:03:41.

us here in Glasgow. Now, the rest of the news from Cardiff.

:03:42.:03:44.

Good evening. The police are appealing to the public to send in

:03:45.:03:48.

video footage of violent clashes which broke out during a peaceful

:03:49.:03:54.

march in Cardiff on Saturday. The protesters were demonstrating

:03:55.:03:57.

against Israel's military action in Gaza.

:03:58.:04:01.

On a sunny summer afternoon in Cardiff, a peaceful protest against

:04:02.:04:06.

the Israeli operation in Gaza is suddenly confronted by violence.

:04:07.:04:10.

These pictures, shot by a person on the march, show tables and chairs

:04:11.:04:15.

being hurled through the air, while racist insults shouted. Police say a

:04:16.:04:18.

small number of people disrupted the march as it made its way through the

:04:19.:04:22.

city. There were around 1500 people on the march on Saturday. When they

:04:23.:04:26.

got to this point, the junction of Saint Mary Street and Mill Lane,

:04:27.:04:31.

some people in surrounding bars started throwing glasses, tables and

:04:32.:04:34.

chairs. Two men unconnected to the march were arrested by police, but

:04:35.:04:40.

have seen in released on bail. This woman West on the march. She is

:04:41.:04:44.

a veteran campaigner of more than 30 years, and says she has never seen

:04:45.:04:49.

anything like it. A glass were stolen from to be. The contents went

:04:50.:04:53.

down the side of me. As I turned round, I saw a white man,, saying it

:04:54.:05:00.

wasn't for you, it was the thing next year. I did call him a racist,

:05:01.:05:04.

and I turned to the British-born Muslim woman who this was aimed at.

:05:05.:05:08.

The Cardiff South MP Stephen Doughty was also at the protest. He says it

:05:09.:05:12.

is not clear whether this was a planned attack, but that it cannot

:05:13.:05:16.

be tolerated. There were ugly scenes and comments made that I observed

:05:17.:05:19.

myself. It is not clear whether this is any kind of organised presence,

:05:20.:05:29.

but people should be allowed to peacefully protest and go ahead with

:05:30.:05:32.

their business in Cardiff on a Saturday afternoon without fear of

:05:33.:05:34.

violence, assault, or intimidation. Police say they will investigate how

:05:35.:05:36.

the violence started, and are looking to arrest those involved. As

:05:37.:05:39.

soon as we were aware that the protesters were subjected to

:05:40.:05:42.

balance, we responded by deploying all available officers to the scene

:05:43.:05:46.

to try to restore normality. We have appointed a dedicated team of

:05:47.:05:49.

officers to respond to this enquiry and to bring the offenders to

:05:50.:05:52.

justice. Officers want anyone with

:05:53.:05:55.

information or mobile phone footage from Saturday to contact them.

:05:56.:05:58.

Three nurses have appeared at Bridgend Magistrates' Court charged

:05:59.:06:03.

with the will form the collective nine patients. Rebecca Jones, Claire

:06:04.:06:08.

Cahill and Laura Berta Llano worked at the Princess away hospital in the

:06:09.:06:12.

town. It is alleged they failed to check blood glucose levels and then

:06:13.:06:16.

falsified notes. All three are due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court

:06:17.:06:20.

next month. The Food Standards Agency says

:06:21.:06:23.

initial audits of the poultry processing factory on Anglesey Show

:06:24.:06:26.

the plant is generally satisfactory. The investigation

:06:27.:06:30.

follows allegations of hygiene failings after claims by a newspaper

:06:31.:06:34.

that safety guidelines were breached. The company denies the

:06:35.:06:40.

allegations. The family of a woman who was

:06:41.:06:43.

murdered as she waited for the police to respond to her calls for

:06:44.:06:48.

help have taken their case to the Supreme Court. They want the law to

:06:49.:06:53.

be changed so the police can be sued for negligence. Joanna Michael from

:06:54.:06:56.

Cardiff called 999 twice during a dispute with Kieran Williams five

:06:57.:07:03.

years ago. Our reporter has more. Joanna Michael, a 25-year-old mother

:07:04.:07:08.

murdered by her boyfriend at her home in Cardiff nearly five years

:07:09.:07:13.

ago. 19-year-old Kieran Williams was sentenced to life in prison for

:07:14.:07:18.

stabbing her 72 times. Her to children were in the house at the

:07:19.:07:23.

time. Those screens will never leave me. They were there, and they were

:07:24.:07:30.

real. By the time the police came, which I read them was 30 minutes,

:07:31.:07:36.

all in all, she was dead. For years, Joanna's family have tried to

:07:37.:07:40.

claim damages from the police because of the failure of someone

:07:41.:07:44.

who used the answer 999 calls here. The long-standing legal principle

:07:45.:07:47.

means they cannot sue the police for negligence.

:07:48.:07:52.

Joanna's family are challenging that part of the legal system and have

:07:53.:07:56.

the support of domestic abuse charities and the supreme court

:07:57.:08:00.

today, the highest court in the country. So, why might be police

:08:01.:08:06.

have been negligent? Early in the morning in August 2009, Joanna rang

:08:07.:08:12.

999. Her call was diverted to the wrong force control room by her

:08:13.:08:16.

local mobile phone mast. The police did not take enough details from

:08:17.:08:21.

here. Joanna's local force was South Wales Police, who did not think it

:08:22.:08:24.

required an immediate response because of the lack of detail pasta

:08:25.:08:29.

from neighbouring Gwent. 15 minutes later, Joanna Coles 999 again, and

:08:30.:08:33.

this time she is screaming. She manages to tell them she is in the

:08:34.:08:37.

Saint Mellons area of Cardiff before the line goes dead. South Wales

:08:38.:08:41.

Police then give the call greater priority, and two officers are sent

:08:42.:08:46.

to her home. Shortly afterwards, a neighbour reported domestic

:08:47.:08:52.

dispute, then a stabbing, with children screaming. South Wales

:08:53.:08:54.

Police officers then arrived to find Joanna dead.

:08:55.:08:58.

And Independent Police Complaints Commission enquiry found the police

:08:59.:09:00.

had failed Joanna, although it was impossible to say if she would still

:09:01.:09:04.

be alive if officers had attended sooner. With her family are

:09:05.:09:08.

successful in winning the right to claim for damages, it could be a

:09:09.:09:12.

landmark legal case. They say, if you have everybody suing the police,

:09:13.:09:16.

that will not be any good for society. Of course, this is a very,

:09:17.:09:21.

very important case, with massive consequences, but if the door opens,

:09:22.:09:24.

it will open for many other people in this country. What happened here

:09:25.:09:27.

in the neighbourhood where Joanna used to live and the way in which

:09:28.:09:32.

the police reacted to it, could have a profound effect on the legal

:09:33.:09:37.

system in Wales and in England. The Supreme Court will continue hearing

:09:38.:09:40.

evidence tomorrow, although its detailed findings may not be

:09:41.:09:41.

available for some weeks. The family of a pensioner from

:09:42.:09:52.

Denbigh who went missing while on holiday in Crete have asked the

:09:53.:09:55.

Prime Minister to do more to help the search. Arthur Jones has not

:09:56.:09:59.

been seen for more than five weeks. Today, a letter was delivered to

:10:00.:10:03.

David Cameron, urging him to keep his promise of doing all he could to

:10:04.:10:06.

help. Let's get the weather forecast now.

:10:07.:10:12.

More dry weather on Thursday, but signs are able to earn more
