The chief executive of Pembrokeshire Council steps aside over a row about

:00:09.:00:21.

full payments. Over the last 18 months, things have been piling up,

:00:22.:00:25.

where I think the only decision he could've made this morning was for

:00:26.:00:47.

him stand aside. The nursery at a centre of an outbreak of measles.

:00:48.:00:51.

Babies are given a jab to contain it. The storms were transported from

:00:52.:01:01.

a Welsh quarry. Now, the memorial Dragon is here in Flanders, already

:01:02.:01:09.

for tomorrow's unveiling. The Premier League is back. Swansea get

:01:10.:01:14.

ready for their fourth season in the world's richest football

:01:15.:01:22.

competition. Good evening. The Chief Executive of payments Council is to

:01:23.:01:25.

step aside with immediate effect following a row about full payments

:01:26.:01:30.

he received. The council has announced that he is taking a period

:01:31.:01:33.

of absence, but will remain on full pay. Currently under investigation

:01:34.:01:39.

by police over cash payments he received instead of pension

:01:40.:01:47.

contributions. Last Friday, these protesters wanted the Chief

:01:48.:01:49.

Executive of premature counsel to go. Today, he steps aside for a

:01:50.:01:55.

period of absence after months of pressure. For someone who has become

:01:56.:02:00.

a highly controversial figure. In January, the Wales audit office

:02:01.:02:05.

decided that cash payments made to him and another senior official were

:02:06.:02:10.

unlawful. That led to a police investigation, but no evidence of

:02:11.:02:15.

any criminal offences was found. In July, the council decided not to

:02:16.:02:19.

take any further action to reclaim the money worth more than ?45,000. A

:02:20.:02:26.

week later, a new police investigation was launched, when

:02:27.:02:30.

fresh information emerged. Now, it is claimed that Mr Paddy Jones spoke

:02:31.:02:36.

to two members of the council's independent ruling group, asking why

:02:37.:02:39.

they voted for him to give the money back. One of them says the Chief

:02:40.:02:42.

Executive has back. One of them says the Chief

:02:43.:02:45.

He has taken a very honourable position this morning with himself

:02:46.:02:51.

as the leader. I think it is probably the right decision. The

:02:52.:02:54.

focus has been on the Chief Executive for the last 18 months.

:02:55.:03:01.

Some feel Paddy Jones has blurred the lines between politics and the

:03:02.:03:09.

job of a neutral official. They have put him on gardening leave. Actually

:03:10.:03:12.

it is quite nice gardening leave. He is on 20 that like ?200,000 per

:03:13.:03:18.

year. That is not much of a sanction, if you ask me. This former

:03:19.:03:25.

council Chief Executive, who represents his trade union, says

:03:26.:03:29.

they do a tough job, managing big budgets and thousands of staff.

:03:30.:03:35.

Chief executives are unusual, because they along with one or two

:03:36.:03:40.

other senior officers are subject to statutory protection, so they are

:03:41.:03:44.

very well protected and the council would have to be very queer of its

:03:45.:03:47.

grounds if it wanted to take further action. It actually can't do so

:03:48.:03:53.

without an independent inspection by somebody outside of the council. The

:03:54.:03:59.

leader of the council says the chief executive's departure is in the best

:04:00.:04:03.

interests of the authority at this time cup. But his critics are

:04:04.:04:07.

determined to make sure that his absence from the council's

:04:08.:04:09.

headquarters becomes a permanent one. Do we know how long his breed

:04:10.:04:15.

of absence is going to be? No, we don't. The council is not saying

:04:16.:04:23.

anything further. I do know that he will be on full pay while he he is

:04:24.:04:27.

away from work, so worth noting that the auditor general knows he is the

:04:28.:04:34.

highest-paid local authority executive in Wales. As you know, it

:04:35.:04:40.

is not easy to get rid of the Chief Executive. There is a long process

:04:41.:04:44.

that has to be gone through. It is important to stress that he has not

:04:45.:04:47.

been suspended. He has agreed to take time away from work, after

:04:48.:04:51.

months of pressure. The council has said throughout that it has done a

:04:52.:04:54.

good job and running services, but there have been damaging stories to

:04:55.:04:58.

his reputation about the layers in some of those stories, and there is

:04:59.:05:02.

a feeling that it really stuck can start to address those failings if

:05:03.:05:08.

the chief executive is attracting so much attention. Thank you, Dan.

:05:09.:05:14.

Babies were normally too young to be vaccinated against measles have been

:05:15.:05:20.

given the M M R jab in a bid to contain an outbreak at a nursery.

:05:21.:05:26.

There have been two confirmed outbreaks and five other children

:05:27.:05:30.

have been tested for the virus, but Public Health Wales are confident

:05:31.:05:35.

the situation is under control. This is the nursery at the centre of the

:05:36.:05:40.

latest measles outbreak in the Swansea Bay area. Two children

:05:41.:05:45.

attending the aisles of smiles nursery have been confirmed as

:05:46.:05:48.

having measles. Five others are being tested for the virus. Public

:05:49.:05:54.

Health Wales said the vaccination was good, but some children were at

:05:55.:05:59.

risk because of the normal circumstances, they were too young

:06:00.:06:06.

to receive the vaccine. The first M M R jab is usually given at 12

:06:07.:06:11.

months of age, with the second administered when the child is three

:06:12.:06:16.

years old. Today, there was an opportunity for parents to get their

:06:17.:06:19.

children vaccinated earlier than usual. We have got a responsibility

:06:20.:06:24.

to children, to make sure that the outbreak doesn't go any further. We

:06:25.:06:28.

have had a high-volume of children who have already had the

:06:29.:06:33.

vaccination. It is a small minority that happened. We have said today

:06:34.:06:36.

that everybody in the nursery should now be protected. This outbreak

:06:37.:06:42.

comes a year after the worst ever outbreak in Wales. Over an eight

:06:43.:06:49.

month period, there were more than 1200 cases, most of them in the

:06:50.:06:53.

Swansea area. One child died from the Monier after contracting

:06:54.:06:59.

measles. The father of one was 25. Further cases of measles were later

:07:00.:07:06.

identified at the school in the Swansea Valley. Health officials are

:07:07.:07:09.

confident the outbreak at this nursery is now under control, thanks

:07:10.:07:14.

in part to the prompt action taken by the nursery buzz next. This is

:07:15.:07:19.

not a case of panicking. This is not an outbreak like we had in 2013. It

:07:20.:07:25.

is not as wide as that, but ever, as with all vaccinations, it it is the

:07:26.:07:30.

best thing to do to get your child vaccinated. In the meantime, the

:07:31.:07:35.

nursery is open as normal and after this morning, more of the children

:07:36.:07:40.

who come here are protected against measles. The NHS in Wales will be

:07:41.:07:46.

the first in the UK to fund a cannabis -based medicine for people

:07:47.:07:51.

with multiple sclerosis. An oral spree has been approved by the

:07:52.:07:58.

board, and will be available on prescription to treat muscle spasms

:07:59.:08:01.

for sufferers who have not responded to other treatments. It is the first

:08:02.:08:04.

of its kind to be licensed within the UK. Hundreds of people have paid

:08:05.:08:08.

tribute to Arthur Jones, who died after going missing on a walking

:08:09.:08:13.

holiday in Crete. Motor cyclist rode alongside the procession in Denbigh,

:08:14.:08:17.

and was a guard of honour for the former soldier. The 70 Three Rd was

:08:18.:08:21.

described as a popular character in his hometown. He had many friends in

:08:22.:08:27.

his hometown, and his motorcycle involvement and so on. He used a

:08:28.:08:31.

marshal the parade for the remembrance service, and he was very

:08:32.:08:35.

publicly involved. You also do charity work, and was also a very

:08:36.:08:40.

good laugh, a very good Rock Hunter, a very popular gentleman. The jury

:08:41.:08:47.

has heard the boss of a race charity claimed for Wales Rugby tickets, cat

:08:48.:08:52.

litter, and pet food on his expenses full Cepeda knives defrauding more

:08:53.:08:59.

than ?12,000 from his company. It shut down in 2012 after its funding

:09:00.:09:04.

was withdrawn. A couple who robbed a woman while she suffered an Apple to

:09:05.:09:08.

collect and then burgled her home and be jailed for 18 months. They

:09:09.:09:12.

stole her keys while she lay on the ground outside her home in Morriston

:09:13.:09:17.

in Swansea. The judge described the couple as despicable. A large fire

:09:18.:09:24.

has closed one of the main roads through one of our main towns. One

:09:25.:09:28.

man was rescued from a flat above a charity shop in the town centre.

:09:29.:09:33.

Fire investigators are still investigating what caused it.

:09:34.:09:39.

Fighting to save one of the best-known buildings of the town. A

:09:40.:09:45.

lot of smoke, and then after a while there were flames coming up the

:09:46.:09:49.

windows, and people being evacuated at that time from the flats. They

:09:50.:09:56.

were standing on the pavement with blankets around their shoulders. One

:09:57.:10:00.

man was rescued by firefighters earlier this morning and taken to

:10:01.:10:04.

hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation. The shop downstairs was

:10:05.:10:12.

full of furniture. There are lots of rooms, lots of steroids, it was an

:10:13.:10:25.

unorthodox building -- steer ways. A charity shop for at least 15 years,

:10:26.:10:31.

got it in just a few hours. Traffic diverted from one of the busiest

:10:32.:10:36.

streets in town. Deserted bus stands during rush hour. As the

:10:37.:10:40.

investigation continue into what caused all of this damage, the

:10:41.:10:44.

charity run this shop say they are absolutely devastated at the events

:10:45.:10:49.

of today, but there are thoughts are with the man who is in hospital

:10:50.:10:53.

after being rescued. A destruction and distress for some. This part of

:10:54.:11:01.

town became eerily quiet. Still to come. From circus act to theatre and

:11:02.:11:13.

animation, how this year's Green man Festival is not just about the

:11:14.:11:17.

music. And how one city in Wales has had more than a month of rain in one

:11:18.:11:22.

fortnight. Find out later in the programme. As events continue to

:11:23.:11:31.

commemorate this into an array of the start of World War I, in

:11:32.:11:35.

Flanders they are getting ready to unveil the new memorial to all those

:11:36.:11:40.

from Wales who took part in the conflict. It is estimated that as

:11:41.:11:44.

many as 40,000 soldiers and sailors died in the conflict. Welcome to the

:11:45.:12:00.

memorial. We are about five miles from a historic city. In this

:12:01.:12:06.

direction, we have another historical town. In 1917, this was

:12:07.:12:11.

the heart of the battlefield, as the Welsh advanced through here on the

:12:12.:12:14.

first day of the Battle of Passchendaele. As you can see, the

:12:15.:12:18.

memorial is covered up at the moment, but tomorrow it will be

:12:19.:12:23.

draped in the Welsh flag. Already, people are flocking here from all

:12:24.:12:27.

parts of Wales. They are coming in buses and cars. Some are travelling

:12:28.:12:31.

by air. The wells are arriving in Flanders. These are among eight 300

:12:32.:12:36.

strong party from north-west Wales, taking in a tour today. A Welsh

:12:37.:12:44.

flavour on the local caravan site, too. Put out hotels and guesthouses,

:12:45.:12:52.

all here for tomorrow's unveiling. It is important to me because I know

:12:53.:12:55.

that my grandfather fought here and he also fought in another battle

:12:56.:13:02.

nearby, and although we came back alive, I want to honour his memory.

:13:03.:13:08.

There are memorials here for many nations. There is one in France for

:13:09.:13:13.

the Welsh, but I know that the campaign has been long-running and

:13:14.:13:18.

the people of Flanders. It was important. At the memorial site

:13:19.:13:24.

itself, local people at work getting it ready. This project matters every

:13:25.:13:29.

bit as much here as a dozen Wales. It means a lot to me, because the

:13:30.:13:35.

Welsh, they liberated us. They fought very heavy. That is why we

:13:36.:13:43.

want to do this. All around this area, there are minders of the

:13:44.:13:48.

battles fought here during the First World War. The scale of the

:13:49.:13:50.

suffering is World War. The scale of the

:13:51.:13:53.

years, these few square miles claimed around 1 million has of

:13:54.:14:02.

these. -- casualties. Those from Wales who fought and died have never

:14:03.:14:07.

been forgotten. Yards from the site of the new memorial, locals gather

:14:08.:14:11.

each month to remember at the Welsh. It was out of these services that

:14:12.:14:18.

the idea emerged. It affects you emotionally to see these trenches,

:14:19.:14:29.

for example, you know, to see how they lived. Peter Jones a retired

:14:30.:14:38.

police officer, came here 18 months ago. Is a money and you're the right

:14:39.:14:39.

way to do it? Yes. Because the men who were lost are here. There is no

:14:40.:14:41.

national monument for Welsh soldiers or for any Welsh person who took

:14:42.:14:45.

part in the First World War. There is no lasting memorial to them

:14:46.:14:48.

specifically, and every other nation has one. So that has got to be

:14:49.:14:53.

rectified. The Welsh public seem to agree. By July last year, enough

:14:54.:14:59.

money had been raised to ship the storms, which provide the platform

:15:00.:15:03.

for the memorial, from Wales to Flanders. The government also threw

:15:04.:15:12.

its weight behind the project. At a foundry in Wales, the bronze was

:15:13.:15:19.

poured. Slowly, from the castes, the Dragon emerged.

:15:20.:15:20.

poured. Slowly, from the castes, the they were chipped away at, did they

:15:21.:15:23.

discover whether they were chipped away at, did they

:15:24.:15:28.

worked. It is exactly as I had envisaged it. The team have

:15:29.:15:35.

worked. It is exactly as I had great job of translating my small

:15:36.:15:37.

sculpture into this large one here. It is better than I imagined. This

:15:38.:15:44.

hymn sung last night at the It is better than I imagined. This

:15:45.:15:54.

of the Welsh fought in the great War.

:15:55.:15:58.

of the Welsh fought in the great not heard this term.

:15:59.:16:05.

of the Welsh fought in the great Germans heard it too. It was always

:16:06.:16:08.

sung by the Welsh battalions before they went over the top. It is an

:16:09.:16:12.

honour for us to be able to sing that hem. It is an honour

:16:13.:16:17.

honour for us to be able to sing those who took part that the new

:16:18.:16:20.

memorial will be dedicated. Those lucky enough to get through it, and

:16:21.:16:23.

of course those who never made it home. With me now is Peter Jones,

:16:24.:16:30.

coordinator of the memorial campaign committee. Peter, there must have

:16:31.:16:35.

been times when you campaigned for this that you thought it was never

:16:36.:16:40.

going to happen. Yes. At the very outset of the campaign, I did become

:16:41.:16:47.

a little despondent, because I wrote letters and sent information to many

:16:48.:16:48.

people letters and sent information to many

:16:49.:16:57.

response. Then as time wore on, I didn't give up, and banks to the

:16:58.:17:01.

media, mainly, and interviews didn't give up, and banks to the

:17:02.:17:07.

various people and by the television, I think I was able to

:17:08.:17:13.

get the message across. The television, I think I was able to

:17:14.:17:19.

monument out here and a memorial out here except Wales,

:17:20.:17:23.

monument out here and a memorial out fire inside

:17:24.:17:26.

monument out here and a memorial out realisation that there

:17:27.:17:28.

monument out here and a memorial out here for our Welsh lads, apart from

:17:29.:17:32.

great stones. That message has got across to the people of Wales, and I

:17:33.:17:37.

feel quite sure that that is the reason that so many people have

:17:38.:17:41.

donated. People have donated. You have raised ?130,000. You're faddy

:17:42.:17:47.

promise from the wells committee. Are you going to use that money? We

:17:48.:17:55.

are going to use most of it, because we had no idea of the cost of

:17:56.:18:00.

bronze. The Dragon has set us back ?85,000. An additional ?5,000 to

:18:01.:18:04.

bring it over here or thereabouts, and it has left us with very little

:18:05.:18:10.

money in the kitty. We need help that we need

:18:11.:18:14.

money in the kitty. We need help They have done the groundwork year.

:18:15.:18:14.

:18:15.:18:20.

help them. If you have got the money, you should help them, and we

:18:21.:18:24.

are going to. And 24-hour is to go now until the Dragon is unveiled at

:18:25.:18:28.

and you can watch it tomorrow evening. It is going to be a very

:18:29.:18:36.

moving ceremony, I am sure. The Premier League football season

:18:37.:18:39.

begins tomorrow and Swansea City ticket. -- kick it off. The new

:18:40.:18:46.

campaign begins with a lunch time kick-off at Old Trafford tomorrow.

:18:47.:18:50.

The media will be there, not to focus on Swansea, it must be said,

:18:51.:18:54.

but instead to see how Manchester United get on in their new match

:18:55.:19:00.

under their new manager. Swansea have a lot to prove. Swansea are

:19:01.:19:07.

making a habit of being part of Manchester United's managerial

:19:08.:19:13.

entrances and exits. They did their best to spoil the party when Alex

:19:14.:19:16.

Ferguson said goodbye to Old Trafford last summer, and now they

:19:17.:19:19.

will be providing the opposition once again, as the new manager takes

:19:20.:19:25.

charge at the Theatre of dreams. Every move, gesture and comment from

:19:26.:19:29.

the man who led the Netherlands to victory in the World Cup will be

:19:30.:19:33.

scrutinised in minute detail. Swansea will barely get a look

:19:34.:19:35.

again, unless they can spring a surprise. One of the biggest clubs

:19:36.:19:40.

in the world with a new manager and all of that, the attention will be

:19:41.:19:44.

on them. That is great for us. Everything is on them, and they

:19:45.:19:47.

should be winning trophies, they will be wanting to win the league

:19:48.:19:50.

this year, and that is pressure for them. Obviously, it is a New Year

:19:51.:19:55.

for others in terms of our management, and we will go about it

:19:56.:19:59.

in the way that we can. We will try to put on a performance that we can

:20:00.:20:05.

be proud of. No surprise that the new manager did not field a single

:20:06.:20:09.

question about Swansea, but he was keen to play down his own role in

:20:10.:20:13.

the match. The most important thing is much quarters, really. I don't

:20:14.:20:20.

play football. Elsewhere, the managerial merry-go-round is already

:20:21.:20:23.

turning before a ball has been kicked. The manager of Crystal

:20:24.:20:28.

Palace kicked. The manager of Crystal

:20:29.:20:32.

settle differences with the German. Palace player Arsenal tomorrow, who

:20:33.:20:36.

impressed at Wembley on Sunday, as they won the community Shield. Aaron

:20:37.:20:42.

Ramsey's goal showed why the gunners were so keen to offer him a new

:20:43.:20:46.

contract. I was always going to sign. I never thought about leaving.

:20:47.:20:51.

I am still only 23, and I still have many years to go. I was never in

:20:52.:20:59.

doubt for me to move away. The manager has always been very good

:21:00.:21:02.

army, always manager has always been very good

:21:03.:21:05.

oddly I am paying him back. As for Palace, former Cardiff manager is

:21:06.:21:23.

now taking the job. In the championship, Cardiff City are

:21:24.:21:27.

hoping that there are two new signings can be registered in time

:21:28.:21:30.

to play some part against Huddersfield tomorrow in league two

:21:31.:21:34.

Newport County travel to Markham who beat them home and away last season,

:21:35.:21:39.

while in the conference, Wrexham Coast Nuneaton. Glamorgan bowler

:21:40.:21:47.

Essex for a 286 in the first day of their match in St Helens at Swansea.

:21:48.:21:54.

At the close, the Welsh county were 27 or one. That is your sport.

:21:55.:22:03.

Thousands of music fans descended on the Esk Valley for the annual Green

:22:04.:22:08.

man Festival. It is the biggest musical event in Wales, and this

:22:09.:22:12.

year it is not just about the bands. They're also be circus

:22:13.:22:16.

performances and animated films from some of our leading artists.

:22:17.:22:21.

Bursting onto Green man this afternoon, no fit state circus, with

:22:22.:22:28.

their blend of high energy acrobatics and daredevil displays.

:22:29.:22:31.

This company has performed all over the world to huge acclaim, but this

:22:32.:22:35.

is their first year at this festival. Hopefully we will get a

:22:36.:22:39.

lot more of exposure from different clientele who don't usually come and

:22:40.:22:41.

see us. We are hoping we will educate a few music fans into the

:22:42.:22:49.

delights of circus. This year, the festival is the most ambitious yet.

:22:50.:22:53.

More than 1500 artists will be performing here, but never before

:22:54.:22:57.

have been been so many different art forms on display. Around the site,

:22:58.:23:02.

you will come across a quirky lesion of tree houses. Each one has a

:23:03.:23:07.

different artwork inside. Just read the corner, this sculptor has

:23:08.:23:15.

created a Dragon made from wood. One of the most eye-catching of

:23:16.:23:19.

installations lurks inside this silo, an animated film about a herd

:23:20.:23:23.

of cattle running through time and space. Having made the first couple

:23:24.:23:28.

of animated films, I got quite bored with the idea of a rectangle on the

:23:29.:23:32.

wall and started to look for other ways of using the projected images

:23:33.:23:35.

that would engage with people emotionally. Around 20,000 people

:23:36.:23:40.

will make their way to the best this year, and although the music acts

:23:41.:23:44.

will be the biggest draw, there is no shortage of unexpected cultural

:23:45.:23:49.

delights. It is about creating special moments, that experience, it

:23:50.:23:53.

is very stability to other art forms that people are not used to hear.

:23:54.:23:59.

You may not be used to this. National Theatre Wales has created a

:24:00.:24:02.

new production for the event. The story involves harnessing pagan

:24:03.:24:08.

energy from festival goers and a grumpy father Christmas, who is

:24:09.:24:11.

holidaying in the Brecon Beacons along with his elves. You can ask

:24:12.:24:18.

for some things. But remember, he is on his holidays, so don't bother him

:24:19.:24:25.

too much. This is the 12th year of the festival, and it is proving to

:24:26.:24:27.

be one of the most popular. Tickets sold out weeks ago. This year there

:24:28.:24:32.

is an emphasis on the arts as well as the music. Plenty of festival

:24:33.:24:37.

goers to enjoy when they come by. Looks like fun. How is the forecast

:24:38.:24:42.

looking? I have got some good news. It should

:24:43.:24:52.

be dry over the weekend, although Sunday morning will start off a

:24:53.:24:58.

little damp. 12 Celsius rising to 18 Celsius in the afternoon. The

:24:59.:25:01.

weather in August can be a little strange, and that is the case this

:25:02.:25:05.

year. Five inches of rain has fallen in Cardiff so far. That is more than

:25:06.:25:10.

one month usually. It looks like we're in for plenty of dry weather

:25:11.:25:16.

this weekend for a change. Not completely dry, though. Also look

:25:17.:25:20.

out for a stronger winds on Sunday. This evening, dry for most of us.

:25:21.:25:24.

Any showers will fade away. Overnight, most places dry except

:25:25.:25:28.

that the odd light shower in the North. Temperatures in the Brecon

:25:29.:25:32.

Beacons falling as low as eight Celsius, and nearer 13 Celsius on

:25:33.:25:37.

the coast. Here is the picture of ATM in the morning. A reasonable

:25:38.:25:45.

start to the day. -- 8am. A bit more cloud likely in the North West. The

:25:46.:25:52.

winds light but a bit fresher. The best of the sunshine tomorrow, in

:25:53.:25:57.

the morning. More cloud in the afternoon. Still a few bright

:25:58.:26:01.

intervals, but most places dry. The breeze picking up tomorrow, with top

:26:02.:26:06.

temperatures of between 16 Celsius and 19 Celsius. Tomorrow night, into

:26:07.:26:10.

Sunday, a cold front will move southwards and that will bring rain

:26:11.:26:15.

with it. It will also be a windy night. Sunday will start off with

:26:16.:26:18.

some rain first thing, but this will clear, and it will be dry and

:26:19.:26:24.

bright. Some sunshine, with a few showers. A breezing and Wendy Day on

:26:25.:26:27.

Sunday, with gale force winds in the North. -- a windy day. The chart for

:26:28.:26:35.

Monday shows 80 low pressure over Norway which means North West Labour

:26:36.:26:41.

winds for the UK. Does winds will bring air from the Arctic Darren to

:26:42.:26:46.

the UK. It looks like we are in for a taste of autumn for next week.

:26:47.:26:51.

Some pretty chilly nights. It may feel as if summer is over despite

:26:52.:26:55.

the sunshine. There is no sign yet of any more hot weather on the way.

:26:56.:27:00.

There are signs it may warm up a little over the bank holiday

:27:01.:27:05.

weekend. That is some way off in the meantime plenty of dry weather this

:27:06.:27:08.

weekend. A little bit of rain, as well. Most of that on Sunday

:27:09.:27:12.

morning, but it will clear and there will be some sunshine. Watch out for

:27:13.:27:16.

strong winds on Sunday. Especially in the North. A reminder of our main

:27:17.:27:25.

story. The Chief Executive of payments Council is to step aside

:27:26.:27:28.

with immediate effect, following a row over unlawful payments he

:27:29.:27:32.

received. He is currently under investigation by police over cash

:27:33.:27:34.

payments he received instead of pension contributions. That is all

:27:35.:27:42.

for now. Goodbye.
