---|---|---|---|
baby-sitter boyfriend, has been found guilty of killing Alfie | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Sullock. He was looking at Alfie for just two hours while his mother had | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
her first night out following his birth. The jury at Newport Crown | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
Court found Pierce Welty of manslaughter, but not guilty of | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
murder. They had been waiting inside and | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
outside Newport Crown Court for over a week now, and agonising wait free | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
verdict and justice for Alfie. Throughout the -- trial, his mother | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
held onto his dummy. He was left in the care of Michael K Pearce, who | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
she had known for only a few months. During that evening, he suffered | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
fatal injuries. Rossa Keating counsel told the jury that in all | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
probability, Michael Pearce had beaten Alfie with a shoe, and the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
bottom of a plastic bottle. He said there was a distinctive pattern from | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the soul of that shoe in bruising on the baby's body. This was not a | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
moment of exasperation, he said, but a case where the baby had ten | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
separate injuries. After nearly 36 hours of deliberation, over eight | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
days, the jury found Michael Pearce not guilty of murder, but guilty of | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
manslaughter. The defendant said he had no idea how Alfie came by his | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
injuries. Pearce says he left Alfie for 30 seconds where we went to the | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
toilet and noticed the child had stopped breathing on his return. We | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
are disappointed and today's verdict. We are satisfied he is | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
going to prison for what he has done. What he has done. Whatever | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
centres he will get, it will never be long enough for taking Alfie's | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
life away. We have been through a year of absolute hell. Tam McGraw | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
had been baby-sitting Alfie last August while Donna went out for her | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
first night out since giving birth. While out for the drink, she | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
repeatedly textured him to find Alfie was. He sent a photo message | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
at 8:19pm, and Donna replied, has he been crying? His face looks really | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
read? Pearce replied, he has had a little wind, he's fine now, | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
sleeping, don't worry. Ten macro text Donna again at 20:43 p.m., you | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
can trust me, you know. She texts back to ask, is he still sleeping? | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Pearce replies immediately, sleeping. Four minutes after sending | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
a text, Pearce dialled 999. Paramedics arrived at the house and | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
found Alfie blew and lifeless. He died on August 20 last year, four | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
days after being taken to hospital. Innocent baby Alfie Sullock was | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
killed at just six weeks old. His mother Donna and Alfie's extended | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
family have sat throughout this trial listening to shocking evidence | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
about the nature of his death. During an extremely emotional and | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
upsetting time, they have handled themselves with great dignity and | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
composure. If he had lived, Alfie would have had his first birthday | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
earlier this month, and his mother Donna has recorded that detail | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
forever in a tab to be along with an arm print and footprint on her leg. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
She whispered as she closed the book, to be usable for that. Unions | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
are to ballot staff at Pembrokeshire County Council on a vote of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
no-confidence in the Jeep executive. It comes amid a fresh police | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
investigation into unlawful pension supplements. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Patients from Wales will be continue to be treated in Wales for heart | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
surgery, following the publication of the Welsh government's first | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
annual report on cardiac care, which save the NHS has struggled in | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
waiting time targets. Cardiac patients are supposed to be seen | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
within six months, but the Welsh NHS has not met that target for more | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
than two years. Last summer, the Royal College of | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Surgeons issued a stark warning. Too many patients, it said, were dying | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
in South Wales while waiting for operations. It was later confirmed | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
that 99 patients had died during a five-year period, on waiting lists | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
for the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and Morriston Hospital in | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Swansea. In an effort to tackle a backlog of the Welsh government said | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
around 80 patients could be treated in England. This includes at a | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
private hospital in Bristol. It is a policy originally meant to run until | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
September, but will now be extended. I think we recognise that there is | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
going to be a period in which we will need to continue to use | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
facilities beyond Wales. I am absolutely clear if we need to do | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
that, that is what we will do. So wide of the NHS here need to pay | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
English hospitals to treat Welsh heart patients? The Welsh | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
government's on cardiac care annual report suggests it is still | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
struggling to keep up with demand. 95% of patients with heart | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
conditions should start treatment within 26 weeks of referral, but | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
that target has not been met since April 2012. Death rates continue to | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
be almost one third higher in our poorest communities, compared to the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
most affluent areas. There is also a big difference in how long patients | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
have to wait for diagnostic tests. In the Cardiff and Vale health board | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
area, according to the report, 100% of patients had access to an ECG | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
within eight weeks. In a neighbouring area, half of patients | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
had to wait longer. Opposition parties say it is a worrying | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
picture. But it is fair to say there are more encouraging signs. Your | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
patients between 35 and 74 are dying prematurely, and emergency hospital | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
admissions are falling. The Welsh government argues that is because | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
GPs are doing more to tackle heart disease earlier. You have to make | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
sure that people are trained and we also have the infrastructure, the | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
buildings in place, the resources in place, and at a time when the | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
economy is against that sort of development, it is not a time to | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
stop, but a time to make sure that we do this properly and prudently, | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
effectively and efficiently. The Welsh government says the NHS is | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
recruiting more staff and opening up more intensive care beds so that | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
more operations can be performed. Georgia Davies has won Wales' second | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
swimming medal in 24-hour that the Commonwealth Games. Jazz Carlin also | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
added a silver to her goal from last night. It was an evening where team | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Wales surpassed their pregames target of 27 medals. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
After a killed in performance yesterday, good Georgia Davies | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
become the second person to pick up gold in the pool for Wales? Jazz | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Carlin had already done so last night. She was watching, nervously, | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
willing her friend on. And in just 27.56 seconds, a new British | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
record, Georgia became the second gold medallist for Wales in the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
pool. It was amazing. I can't wait to hear the Welsh national anthem | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
again. Hearing last night for me was amazing, and it is the most | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
passionate national anthem I have heard, and I am so pleased for her. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
She will be so happy with that. It was congratulations all around. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Another emotional night for these good friends. That couldn't go any | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
better. I'm really happy I lowered my time from last night. To come | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
away with the gold, it is just everything I have been training for, | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
all the hard work has all been worth it, and I can't wait to hear the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
national anthem. I can't wait. Georgette's medal came just minutes | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
after Jazz's silver in the 400 metres. She was not as sharp as | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
yesterday, but the quick turnaround between races took its toll. It has | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
been an unforgettable two days for the Carling family. Her mother told | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
her Jazz 30 spirit is the pool for months and has loved it ever since. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
I am so pleased for her, because all her hard work has finally paid off. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
And the moment when she stepped onto the podium. So emotional. I do think | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
there was a dry eye anywhere, but we were just overcome by emotion | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
really, and pride will. It is something we could not have dreamt | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
of really. And there were more medals to come, this time for Daniel | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
journalist will stop the swimmer from the combined his training with | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
being an apprentice decorator. No doubt he will be painting the town | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
red to night after winning bronze in the 1500 metre freestyle. Absolutely | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
amazing, fantastic. And to see the Welsh flags as well. It is | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
phenomenal, just an honour for me to be swimming. So, a remarkable night | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
for team Wales, a full set of medals in the pool, with Georgia Davies | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
claiming the biggest prize of all. So, a wonderful performance from the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
swimmers and Welsh gymnasts have also continued their impressive | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
form, picking up their ninth medal of the games. The women's artistic | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
squad took bronze in the team competition this afternoon, behind | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
England and Australia. Earlier, the men finished fifth. There was also a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
first-ever medal for Wales at wrestling. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Craig Pelling won a bronze model in the 57th kilogram category. And to | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Welsh boxers are also guaranteed at least bronze medals. Cardiff | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
lightweight beat the New Zealander intellect's quarterfinal, and light | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
heavyweight Nathan Thornley had a first-round victory in his | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
quarterfinal when his opponent a bearded dislocated his shoulder. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Both men will fight for a place in their respective finals on Friday. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
And now, the weather. Thank you very much. A change under | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
way later this week, but in the meantime, I can promise you plenty | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
more pine and warm weather tomorrow thanks to a ridge of high pressure. | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Tonight, a dry thanks to a ridge of high pressure. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Tonight, a story across the country. Cloud will come and go. Some clear | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
spells, and eight comfortable night was sleeping. The bridges in the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
countryside as low as 10 Celsius, warm on the coast. Tomorrow morning, | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
nice and dry, bright, some lovely sunshine, some as well, which may | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
just squeeze out the light shower on Anglesey. Otherwise, a dry story. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Across the rest of the UK, southern and eastern parts, dry with sunny | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
spells. Further north, a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Breezy in the north, lighter winds in the south, and a high of 25 | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
Celsius in London. In Glasgow tomorrow, showers are expected, a | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
little sunshine as well. Top ten Bridge around 18 Celsius with a | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
fresh westerly breeze. Back to Wales, three o'clock tomorrow | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
afternoon, much of the country dry with sunny spells, the light shower | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
in the North. 24 Celsius in Monmouth, 19 on the Cardigan Bay | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
coast. In Monmouth, 19 on the Cardigan Bay coast. Into Thursday | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
that it around as well. Still some dry and bright weather, with a high | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
of 20 Celsius in Brecon. Late on Friday, signs of a change. Low | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
pressure of Ireland, and that is heading our way, meaning the weather | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
is going to turn increasingly more unsettled later this week. Showers, | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
some heavy and thundery, but not a total write-off. I can promise some | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
sunshine, some heavy and thundery, but not a | :11:49. | :11:49. | |
total write-off. I can promise some sunshine, especially on Sunday. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Thank you very much. Robert Peston has got Newsnight over on BBC Two | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
now, ask in what sanctions on Russia will actually do. Thank you for | :11:58. | :12:01. |
