He was thought to be the inspiration for Steve McQueen's

The Prime Minister says he'll look into how young men from Cardiff were

:01:06.:01:18.

able to obtain passports and travel to Syria to fight for Islamic state.

:01:19.:01:21.

Brothers Nasser and Asil Muthana are among hundreds

:01:22.:01:23.

of British men said to be fighting for the extremist cause.

:01:24.:01:26.

David Cameron was challenged by their local MP,

:01:27.:01:28.

as he unveiled plans to give police the power to confiscate

:01:29.:01:30.

Here's our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock.

:01:31.:01:42.

The Welsh faces of Islamic state. These brothers left their Cardiff

:01:43.:01:51.

home earlier this year to train with extremists in Syria. The older

:01:52.:01:55.

brother later used social media to suggest the UK is afraid he will

:01:56.:01:58.

return with the skills he has learnt. David Cameron unveiled plans

:01:59.:02:08.

to stop terror suspects travelling. Can the primaries do expend to me

:02:09.:02:11.

that it is that a young man leave to be at risk has been able to use a UK

:02:12.:02:17.

passport to travel using commercial means -- the Prime Minister? I will

:02:18.:02:24.

certainly look at the individual case that the honourable gentleman

:02:25.:02:29.

produces. We could not have given clearer instructions to the agencies

:02:30.:02:32.

concerned about confiscating passports, preventing travel. A

:02:33.:02:37.

number of people have been prosecuted. But we need to do

:02:38.:02:41.

everything we can and more to stop this from happening. Today, one

:02:42.:03:01.

Welsh Muslim leader added his name to a religious decree condemning

:03:02.:03:06.

Islamic state and ordering Muslims not to join up. He says the group 's

:03:07.:03:12.

brutality has no place in Islam. Is Sam has very precise rules of

:03:13.:03:18.

engagement in the case of war. Everything they are doing is against

:03:19.:03:25.

those rules of engagement. We cannot condone it. We cannot support it. We

:03:26.:03:29.

can only condemn it. The government is looking at ways of stopping

:03:30.:03:32.

British terror suspects from returning home. Some say that will

:03:33.:03:39.

not work. The only way you could do that is to say as the person arrives

:03:40.:03:42.

at the airport or the port, you are no longer a British citizen and you

:03:43.:03:50.

are now stateless. That is an unnecessary thing. Some of the

:03:51.:04:00.

details remain sketchy. The Prime Minister 's view is that without

:04:01.:04:04.

them, terror suspects may return home to strike.

:04:05.:04:08.

Cardiff Council, the biggest local authority in Wales, has been

:04:09.:04:10.

strongly criticised in a report by the public spending watchdog.

:04:11.:04:13.

The Wales Audit Office says it is failing to improve services,

:04:14.:04:15.

areas like education and social care, because of fragmented

:04:16.:04:18.

The council leader says the findings are a sobering read.

:04:19.:04:21.

Our Political Editor, Nick Servini, reports.

:04:22.:04:23.

It's a council that's been given a stark warning.

:04:24.:04:26.

The Auditor General is clear - Cardiff is not making enough

:04:27.:04:31.

progress and that's impacting on the services that matter most to

:04:32.:04:34.

Compared to the rest of Wales, education has seen limited

:04:35.:04:40.

improvement, performance remains comparatively

:04:41.:04:43.

weak and a high proportion of looked after children leave

:04:44.:04:47.

The report says older people are waiting longer for appropriate care,

:04:48.:04:53.

The council has been quite clear about its priorities for education

:04:54.:05:06.

and vulnerable people. Yet when you look at the comparative performance

:05:07.:05:08.

across Wales, the education performance is not improving at the

:05:09.:05:13.

rate that colleagues elsewhere have expected. There are still challenges

:05:14.:05:24.

remaining in social care. The report says restructures in the past four

:05:25.:05:30.

years have caused instability. Phil Bale has been the leader since

:05:31.:05:35.

March. He says changes have been made and wants to be given more time

:05:36.:05:40.

before he is judged. We recognise the issues identified in that

:05:41.:05:44.

report. We are serious in attacking those challenges. We are already

:05:45.:05:49.

putting in place measures to improve the council. Earlier, we introduced

:05:50.:05:54.

a three-year improvement programme. I am proof that that is recognised.

:05:55.:06:05.

The Wales Audit Office will now monitor the council and carry out a

:06:06.:06:13.

follow-up inspection next year. How serious is this? This is a routine

:06:14.:06:16.

report but I think the strength of the language and the fact that there

:06:17.:06:19.

was a very critical report by local government experts in the autumn

:06:20.:06:23.

last year means that everyone was taking this very seriously. The

:06:24.:06:29.

leader was not crossing over this. His basic message is that he is

:06:30.:06:35.

relatively new, the problems predate his time and he is saying to the

:06:36.:06:38.

residents of Cardiff to come back and judge him in a year. I am sure

:06:39.:06:44.

that is what they will do. The stakes are pretty high for Cardiff.

:06:45.:06:47.

The auditors were talking about special measures and considering

:06:48.:06:54.

special measures. This is where some form of external help is considered

:06:55.:06:57.

to help the council. If that had happened, it would have put Welsh

:06:58.:07:00.

Government ministers in a difficult position because they would have

:07:01.:07:04.

been called in to help their largest Labour local authority. And in a

:07:05.:07:08.

city where labour is targeting two seats in the general election. It

:07:09.:07:13.

did not happen but the fact it was under consideration shows the

:07:14.:07:15.

seriousness with which this report was considered. We know that

:07:16.:07:20.

councils across Wales are having to make cuts. How is Cardiff going to

:07:21.:07:24.

do this? One of the most worrying elements was that the proposed

:07:25.:07:28.

savings Cardiff has to find, the report said the planning was not

:07:29.:07:32.

adequate for that. Cardiff is by far the biggest council in Wales and has

:07:33.:07:37.

a workforce of about 14,000 people. That is give it some leeway in

:07:38.:07:41.

absorbing the cuts that need to be made. At one final thought, it is

:07:42.:07:44.

interesting, with all the reorganisation going on, we are

:07:45.:07:48.

often told it is smaller councils that get into trouble. In this case,

:07:49.:07:49.

it is the biggest. Hundreds of people have turned out

:07:50.:07:56.

to release balloons in honour of a 12-year-old boy who was swept

:07:57.:07:58.

out to sea off Anglesey. Isaac Nash, who's from Huddersfield

:07:59.:08:01.

in West Yorkshire was on holiday with his family when the accident

:08:02.:08:04.

happened near Aberffraw on Friday. His father and grandfather,

:08:05.:08:07.

who remain in the area, are helping Family and friends gathered

:08:08.:08:09.

in Huddersfield this evening to pay a special tribute to

:08:10.:08:17.

the 12-year-old as the search ended He was due to go back to school this

:08:18.:08:21.

week along with his ten-year-old brother Xander,

:08:22.:08:26.

who was with him when they got into He was really funny and a really

:08:27.:08:40.

nice person and if you were upset, he would look after you all the

:08:41.:08:44.

time. Whenever you saw him, he was always smiling. He always had

:08:45.:08:49.

friends around him. We will miss his colourful personality and we will

:08:50.:08:54.

miss his great sense of humour. We really well.

:08:55.:08:56.

The search area was widened over the weekend to take account of the

:08:57.:08:59.

Police underwater search teams joined the coastguard

:09:00.:09:02.

Conditions on Friday were described as horrendous as strong

:09:03.:09:05.

Isaac Nash had been with his younger brother when they began

:09:06.:09:09.

Their father and grandfather went to help them but Isaac was swept out

:09:10.:09:14.

The two men have remained here while the rest of their family has

:09:15.:09:18.

They have been down this morning to see how we are getting on. Very

:09:19.:09:28.

upset but they have been here, they can understand they do not really

:09:29.:09:31.

want to leave until we get some results. Visitors to this popular

:09:32.:09:35.

tourist area have been galvanised by Friday 's events to do what they can

:09:36.:09:41.

to search. Local businesses have even provided free food and drink to

:09:42.:09:44.

those who have given up their time to help.

:09:45.:09:47.

Many here wanted to offer support to the family in any way they could.

:09:48.:09:51.

We have sandwiches so that we can just stay out as much as we can. The

:09:52.:09:59.

post -- coastguards have been great. Everyone has been fantastic.

:10:00.:10:03.

Emergency crews may return here tomorrow and say the decision to

:10:04.:10:06.

call a halt to any search is always a very difficult one to make.

:10:07.:10:09.

but they want to reassure Isaac's loved ones that every effort has

:10:10.:10:12.

More than 100 workers have lost their jobs at

:10:13.:10:15.

MWL printing group in New Inn confirmed today it had gone

:10:16.:10:19.

One local politician has called on the company to give an

:10:20.:10:22.

Paul Heaney is outside their site for us this evening.

:10:23.:10:27.

Do we know why the company was struggling?

:10:28.:10:37.

According to workers, this could have been done to a very competitive

:10:38.:10:44.

market face. Lots of printing companies undercutting each other

:10:45.:10:47.

and driving down profit margin is. The company has not confirmed that.

:10:48.:10:51.

But that is the suspicion amongst workers. The company behind me, they

:10:52.:10:59.

do everything you can think of to do with printing. One of their biggest

:11:00.:11:07.

customers was the county Borough Council, just up the road. And what

:11:08.:11:14.

is next for the workers? Well, as I understand it, there is a

:11:15.:11:20.

possibility, I suppose, that some workers could get jobs at a job fair

:11:21.:11:25.

in a couple of days' time. Local politicians are rallying around,

:11:26.:11:28.

trying to do their best to support people but that is of little

:11:29.:11:30.

consolation to some workers who I have spoken to. They say they are

:11:31.:11:36.

devastated with this news. They do not know why the company got into

:11:37.:11:41.

problems in the first place. Certainly, I think the employees are

:11:42.:11:47.

owed an explanation. We would like to find out what we can do to help

:11:48.:11:51.

those employees. We want more information from the company. But

:11:52.:12:00.

whatever the case is, if there are people out there looking for work, I

:12:01.:12:03.

would encourage them to get in touch as you what we can do to help. This

:12:04.:12:08.

is clearly going to be a blow. Yes, it is. Everyone I have spoken to, no

:12:09.:12:13.

one wants to appear on camera. Some very emotive employees, as you can

:12:14.:12:18.

understand. For many of them, 16 year career is have come to an end.

:12:19.:12:25.

They now need to push forward to find themselves a nude job.

:12:26.:12:27.

Devastating news -- a new job. After months of disruption,

:13:15.:13:18.

into the local economy. But we can't presume that kind

:13:19.:13:25.

of money would flow into Wales. The Chicago summit had 7,500

delegates whereas the Celtic Manor So how do we know how much Newport,

be staying here, how much they're expected to spend

:13:45.:13:47.

on food and drink or transport and how much it will cost to run the

whole event and keep people safe. For a start,

the Barclays report says 24,000 room But that's across South Wales

in Newport the value of room bookings for staff

:14:09.:14:13.

and media comes to ?400,000. And this is where the equation

:14:14.:14:20.

can get very complicated. For instance the Celtic Manor

:14:21.:14:22.

is nearly full all year round. So the money spent booking it out

:14:23.:14:27.

for NATO isn't all extra money. It's just that it's different

spent is important too. We know about 6,000 visitors

on the Cambrian Coast Line between Harlech and Pwllheli, the

:15:54.:16:01.

first time in around ten months. The line was shut

:16:02.:16:04.

when the 150-year-old road and rail Briwet Bridge across

:16:05.:16:05.

the Dwyryd at Penrhyndeudraeth was Well, now there's a new bridge,

:16:06.:16:08.

although as Roger Pinney reports, It is not a big bridge, it is just a

few hundred yards from one end to the debit for the last ten months

:16:27.:16:29.

without it, people living and working here have struggled. And on

the resume service today, tickets were selling fast. For many local

:16:36.:16:38.

people, this is how they get to work, go shopping or travel to

:16:39.:16:43.

school and college. It is so much easier just travelling backwards and

:16:44.:16:47.

forwards. It is a lot safer not having to go the Long way round with

:16:48.:16:51.

all the traffic. I use it quite a lot. It is quite important. You

:16:52.:17:01.

cannot really overstate the importance of this line to the local

:17:02.:17:06.

area. All year round, it provides a commuter service back and forth

:17:07.:17:09.

through this part of north west Wales. But it also links into the UK

:17:10.:17:15.

intercity network and that is important for tourism. Little wonder

:17:16.:17:18.

then that the flags were out today. This is how the train we travelled

:17:19.:17:24.

on was greeted at the station. Earlier, the local Assembly Member

:17:25.:17:27.

unveiled a plaque marking the reopening of the line. Talking with

:17:28.:17:35.

local trades persons and the local tourism industry, it has affected

:17:36.:17:38.

them this year. Our challenge now is to ensure that we get that message

:17:39.:17:44.

out that this line is open from today and through until December. --

:17:45.:17:52.

we are reducing fares for local journeys. We want the local people

:17:53.:17:57.

to come back as well. Good news for rail users. But the new Briwet

:17:58.:18:03.

Bridge is not fully finished yet. Motorists will have to wait for

:18:04.:18:11.

their part to reopen. All that we would say is that there is going to

:18:12.:18:15.

be a bridge here after the spring that will be there permanently.

:18:16.:18:20.

There will not be a toll. There were due a shared use for foot passengers

:18:21.:18:30.

and cycle. Today, a job half done but here they will tell you it is an

:18:31.:18:37.

important step in the right direction.

:18:38.:18:45.

The first phase of a multi-million pound plan to

:18:46.:18:47.

recreate a Regency style landscape at the National Botanic Garden of

:18:48.:18:49.

The Garden has been given more than ?300,000 from the

:18:50.:18:53.

Heritage Lottery Fund to develop its plans for the project.

:18:54.:18:56.

Abigail Neal has been finding out more.

:18:57.:18:57.

The great glasshouse is master of all it surveys.

:18:58.:19:00.

But once, it would have looked down upon a very different landscape.

:19:01.:19:02.

In the 1800s, William Paxton devised a necklace of seven lakes and

:19:03.:19:05.

Only three now survive, and the plan is to reverse that.

:19:06.:19:13.

On the right-hand side, we have the lakes we have already cleared. On

:19:14.:19:20.

the left-hand side, we have the massive lake which we wish to

:19:21.:19:21.

restore. The garden has been awarded

:19:22.:19:25.

a development grant to begin 360,000 cubic metres of silt will

:19:26.:19:27.

be removed to recreate the past. There would be pleasure craft on

:19:28.:19:40.

here, yacht 's and Paxton would entertain his guests by coming down

:19:41.:19:45.

to the lake and sailing to the other end. There would be a picnic laid

:19:46.:19:46.

out for him, it was very grand. I'm taken

:19:47.:19:51.

on a tour to see the view that will all change, as part of the biggest

:19:52.:19:54.

scheme the garden has undertaken Although the heyday of the gardens

:19:55.:19:56.

may have been in the 18th century, this project is also going to go

:19:57.:20:01.

further back in time to uncover where it all began - this apothecary

:20:02.:20:04.

here is a good clue, but it started out with a family known

:20:05.:20:07.

as the Middletons, who set up the East India Company

:20:08.:20:09.

and made their money off the back When Paxton took over the estate,

:20:10.:20:13.

he swept away what the Middleton Principally, we want to know the

:20:14.:20:37.

date of the first hole that they build. We want to understand more

:20:38.:20:40.

about the gardens that they had. The early excavations have been modest

:20:41.:20:45.

but they have demonstrated they are in the late Elizabethan formal

:20:46.:20:50.

style. It would be interesting to know more about what they looked

:20:51.:20:54.

like and because we still have material in their, what they were

:20:55.:20:56.

planting and what they were growing. It took Paxton more than 30 years

:20:57.:21:00.

to create his masterpiece. The garden is hoping that with much

:21:01.:21:03.

of the funding already in place, it could be as little as five before

:21:04.:21:06.

we see the fruits of this labour. The President of the Welsh FA is

:21:07.:21:10.

writing to the broadcaster Sky to ask them to reconsider

:21:11.:21:13.

their decision not to offer Welsh language commentary of Wales

:21:14.:21:15.

international football matches. Sky say there isn't enough demand

:21:16.:21:17.

for the service, but Trefor Lloyd Hughes says promoting the language

:21:18.:21:20.

is of paramount importance. Wales play their first Euro 2016

:21:21.:21:22.

qualifier in Andorra next Tuesday. There's an inspection this evening

:21:23.:21:26.

after concerns that the artifical pitch there isn't good

:21:27.:21:29.

enough for international football. If it fails the test, the game

:21:30.:21:31.

could be switched to Barcelona. Meanwhile, the transfer window

A Welsh airman thought to have been the inspiration for Steve McQueen's

character in The Great Escape, has died at the age of 93.

Ken Rees spent much of the war as a prisoner,

:22:33.:22:35.

and was part of the legendary escape from Stalag Luft 3 camp.

Rhodri Lewis has been looking back at his life.

:22:43.:22:45.

Survivors of the great escape, meeting for one of

:22:46.:22:47.

Originally from Ruabon near Wrexham, the former airman had been living

:22:48.:22:53.

Ken Rees had been a farmer before joining up as a bomber pilot.

:22:54.:22:59.

He flew more than 50 missions before being shot down over norway in 1942.

Part of the reason Ken was recruited is because his colleagues

:23:47.:23:51.

thought that as a Welshman he must have known something about mining!

:23:52.:23:53.

He's also said to have been the inspiration behind Steve Mcqueen's

:23:54.:23:56.

character in the film The Great Escape, but Ken wasn't convinced.

:23:57.:23:59.

He is tall and I am not. I am heavier than he is. And he is an

:24:00.:24:04.

American and I am a Welshman. The only thing in common really was that

:24:05.:24:11.

we both annoyed the Germans and finished off doing stretches in the

cooler. I would not have been able to ride a motorbike.

76 men got out but only three made it home.

50 were shot following a direct order from Hitler himself.

He was halfway down the tunnel when it was discovered

70 years on, the deeds of Ken Rees and

his colleagues still resonate, but that pride is tinged with sadness

:24:34.:24:36.
