Welcome to Wales Today, our top stories: | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Out of hours hospital care is inadequate | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
according to the Public Services Ombudsman. | :00:10. | :00:10. | |
There is a lot more work that needs to be done in improving | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
the culture of the NHS in Wales but also of other public services. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Karen Price was 15 when she ran away from a children's home. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Her body was found wrapped in a carpet. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Two men who killed her fail in their appeal | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Hundreds of well paid jobs are up for grabs in science, | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Wales name an unchanged side to face England at Twickenham on Saturday. | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
The weather is about to take a turn for the worse with heavy rain, | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
If you go into hospital at night or on a weekend, will you get | :00:49. | :01:12. | |
the same standard of care as you would during | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The Public Services Ombudsman says he's investigated several cases | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
of "inadequate" care given to patients out of hours including | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
cases where junior doctors haven't been properly supervised. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
He's now calling for an independent review. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
The Welsh Government says it'll carefully consider the issue. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Owain Clarke. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
We don't choose when we get a ill which means unlike other workplaces | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
But is the care it provides as good as it | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
There are three million people in Wales and for the vast | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
majority, their treatment is excellent. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
But I think we have to look at those common themes that do arise when it | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
There is a theme there in terms of out-of-hours care. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
In a new report he highlights a dozen examples | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
He says he found it entirely unacceptable that one patient, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Mr T, an elderly man with motor neurone disease, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
had to wait more than 40 hours over the weekend | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
before doctors gave him a feeding tube. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
On another occasion, a patient, Mrs K, was discharged from hospital | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
twice by junior doctors even though the ombudsman found on both | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
occasions it had not been medically safe to do so. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
He also says junior doctors can sometimes be afraid to ask for help | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
from senior colleagues and says standards of care can vary | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
even between wards in the same hospital. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Russell Hopkins has concerns but not only because of his experience | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
as a patient, he is a former surgeon and hospital manager. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
In 2011 he was left with bladder and nerve damage after surgery. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
He says it was four days before he was seen by a consultant. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
On a particular weekend you may have three or four | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
separate junior doctors not knowing the patient. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
If they haven't been with the patient and they haven't | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
seen the early treatment, looking in the notes, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
which may be pretty awful anyway, may mean they don't | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
understand what is going wrong with the patient. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Opposition parties here at the Senedd argue the ombudsman's | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
They say it reflects the failing on the part of the Welsh Government. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
But the Welsh Government argues improvements are underway | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
I've never been attracted to some of the calls for large | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
I will take advice on this proposition and if we think | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
there is something good to derive from it of course we would do it. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
But concerns about 24/7 care aren't new. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
This health expert warned five years ago that patients | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
in Wales admitted to hospital on a weekend were more | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
I think there hasn't been very much progress at all, really, | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
the last five years on this particular issue | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
because it is so complex and because it involves trade-offs. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
It probably does involve centralising some services. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
It does involve being honest with people sometimes and saying, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
this particular hospital cannot any longer provide 24/7 | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
emergency cover because we cannot safely staff it. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
This issue is also a hot topic across the border. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
The UK Government wants to impose a new | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
contract on junior doctors in England which they argue | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
will mean better care in the evenings and at weekends. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
But many junior doctors there, who go on strike again tomorrow, | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
say it to mean longer hours and poorer care. | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
The Welsh Government wants to avoid a similar dispute. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
It says better care around the clock can only be delivered by working | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Owain, the timing of the report is interesting? | :04:52. | :05:02. | |
Very interesting for two reasons. The Welsh election is not that | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
far-away and the ombudsman will have known that by raising the concerns | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
today opposition parties would have wanted to seize upon them. There | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
were rumblings within the Welsh Government about the timing. It is | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
fair to say Nick Bennett the ombudsman, stresses is independence. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
He isn't saying what many people working in the NHS and what many | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
people visiting relatives at the weekend would not know. There is | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
another junior doctors strike in England tomorrow as part of that | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
bitter dispute in England about seven-day working and new contracts. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Nick Bennett may have thought by publishing today his report would | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
have wider resonance. This of the NHS are geared up for 24 hour work | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
-- 24/7 working. If you want to increase weekend working you can do | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
one of three things. Move start of the weekend or at night and move | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
them from elsewhere in the David Stock that may have knock-on | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
consequences. You can concentrate services in few hospitals to provide | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
better cover. That is controversial. The popular choice is to spend more | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
many but we note budgets are tight. Campaigners who want overnight | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
children's care returned to Withybush Hospital | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
in Pembrokeshire have delivered an 18,000 signature | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
petition to the Senedd. The paediatrics unit is now | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
a daytime-only service. Children admitted overnight are sent | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
to hospital in Carmarthen. Withybush Hospital has acknowledged | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
the petition and says the majority of health care for children | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
is still provided in Pembrokeshire. A vote on whether or not | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
e-cigarettes will be banned in some Assembly Members are currently | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
debating the issue. The Welsh Government is concerned | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
e-cigarettes normalises smoking. The ban's proposals have been | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
watered down so they don't include all public places due to pressure | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
from some opposition parties. Two men who killed a 15-year-old | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
girl, whose body was found wrapped in a carpet in Cardiff 27 years ago, | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
have failed in their attempts Karen Price went missing | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
from a children's home Alan Charlton was jailed | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
for life for her murder, but Idris Ali from Cardiff | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
was released in 1994 after his conviction was quashed | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
and he admitted manslaughter. Karen Price was 15 when she went | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
missing from a children's home Eight years later builders laying | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
pipes in the back garden of a house in Riverside found her remains | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
wrapped in an offcut of carpet Her hands were tied | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
behind her back and a plastic bag had been | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
placed over her head. As part of the efforts | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
to identify her, a clay model was created using ground-breaking | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
techniques and it wasn't long before two social workers identified | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
her as Karen Price. In 1991, two pimps were | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
jailed for her murder. Alan Charlton and Idris Ali | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
were sentenced to life in prison. A subsequent appeal by Charlton | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
failed but Ali's conviction He admitted manslaughter | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
and was released Today at a brief hearing | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
at the Court of Appeal, another attempt to have their | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
convictions quashed was rejected. Lawyers for the men had argued | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
evidence from the key witness in the trial, a girl from the same | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
children's home as Karen, Idris Ali claims he only confessed | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
to manslaughter For the reasons given | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
in the judgment handed down today, the appeals | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
against conviction of Alan Charlton This street which now | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
faces the Principality Stadium has been completely | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
transformed since the 1980s when it was at the heart | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
of Cardiff's red light district. It has been 27 years | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
since Karen Price's body was found here and although one of the two men | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
who killed her remains in prison tonight, there are still many | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
unanswered questions about how this young girl's life came | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
to such a tragic end. Jennifer Jones, BBC Wales | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
today in Riverside. We need 600 people to fill | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
vacancies in science, Well paid jobs but why | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
are we failing to attract women On International Women's | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Day, Caroline Evans. These women are at the top | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
of the tree and today they came we are wasting knowledge | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
and talent in Wales. By 2020 we will need | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
another one million Experts here say while women | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
outperform men in education, still they often work in jobs | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
which require skills According to this report | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
commissioned by the Welsh Government, too few girls study | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
so-called stem subjects Those that do pursue a career | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
in this area don't stay. Why and what we do about | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
it is something Professor Hilary Lappin-Scott | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
has been looking at. We have drawn up a total of 30 | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
recommendations that are designed to support girls in school | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
to encourage them to stay in stem subjects, but if you go on to study | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
a degree in stem the subject, showing that is a superb career, | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
working on how to overcome unconscious biases and improve | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
the representation and participation of women at the most senior | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
level to 50-50 by 2020. A target the Economy | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
and Science Minister says We're making the change | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
because this is the first time we have had an integrated | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
science strategy. It is the first time, I think, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
all ministers have signed Every minister has | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
called responsibility for science policy and | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
that is very important. That indicates as a government | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
we collectively want to achieve Employers have a big part to play | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
at Airbus was held up There was a point in my career | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
when I thought, actually I can't do But it took one of the senior | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
managers at Airbus to say, you are a great employee, | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
we can find you a part-time job. For Doctor Aditee Mitra | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
from Swansea University it is all about thinking | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
in a different way. I wanted a 70% flexible | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
contract with the understanding my 30% was going to be | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
off during school holidays But today's report says that for too | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
many others inflexible working patterns and unconscious bias | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
remained major barriers. Education, recruitment, | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
retention and promotion The Welsh Government | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
will make a formal response Professor Julie Williams | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
is one of the country's Why is it so difficult to get women | :12:10. | :12:25. | |
into these top jobs? It is a complicated issue but I think we | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
need to start early. We need to stop girls opting out of science very | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
early on. We need to get teachers more akin with what is going on in | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
science or they can convey that enthusiasm to children. We need to | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
look at physics. It may not be the most interesting subject, we need to | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
make it more relevant for women. These decisions start early, Dan | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Baker smack you see girls dropping out of the subjects very early in | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
education. -- these decisions start early, don't they? | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
If a child comes home and says I want to be an engineer I'm not sure | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
she gets as positive response. We need to reset our ideas about what | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
these jobs can give women. They give them solid careers, good salaries. | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
We need to get more girls thinking about this. Is this about schools | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
doing more or industry doing more? Universities doing more? All three. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
We need to integrate industry. We need role models to show girls can | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
succeed in industry. We lose a lot of women mid-career, women who | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
already choose to be stem jobs. We lose them. How can we bring them | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
back in ) how can we maintain the links with these women when they | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
have families and stress is interfering with their careers. We | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
need to think about bringing these women back in. | :14:04. | :14:04. | |
Much more to come before seven o'clock. | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
Drones made here have a great potential for filming flooding | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
or fish stocks but what about their role in combat? | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
And same again - Wales name an unchanged side to face England | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
He says he used to be indifferent about devolution that he didn't vote | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
in the referendum to establish the Assembly. | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
Now the Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, wants to convince | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
us to come out at the election on May fifth and back him to be | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
In our final interview with the party leaders in the run up | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
to the election campaign, our political correspondent | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
On his farm in the Vale of Glamorgan where it all began. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
The midwife hadn't come and I was bright blue. | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
I was blue when I was born and I am blue now, and I will be blue | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Now, Andrew RT Davies wants to turn the Welsh Government | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
blue and he says last year's general election showed | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
there are enough Conservative supporters | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
What we've got to do is energise people | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to say, the Assembly is important, the Assembly election is vital | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
to our future well-being and we need change. | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
After 17 years here of Labour running services into the ground, | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
we need to secure real change here in Wales. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
He says it is a privilege to be a member of the National Assembly. | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
The other Assembly party leaders campaigned for the institution to be | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
Quiet indifference, I suppose, would have been the word | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
Ultimately, I was securing my family's future, my | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
business's future by getting my head down and working here on the family | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
farm and really politics was most probably not that important for me | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
I didn't vote at the National Assembly referendum in 1997. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
Ultimately, I believe passionately when you do get a calling to go | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
into public life as I believe when the | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
That was the moment for you when you thought, | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
I need to be a politician. I need to get involved. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
I believed that our community needed to gain a voice. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Make him First Minister and this is what he would do. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
The Conservatives have made the NHS their big battle ground. | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
They want a dedicated fund to improve access | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
Instead of subsidising university tuition fees, | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
they would pay half of students' rent. | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
After reviewing all possible routes, they say they would start | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
work on an M4 relief road near Newport within a year | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
Policies crafted to try to clinch target seats. | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
Seats the Tories have already taken from | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
We are not falling back from communities, | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
it is the Labour Party who are falling back | :17:01. | :17:02. | |
from communities and going back to their heartlands. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
What do you look at when you see some of those heartlands? | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Just had my neighbour up here ranting about Europe. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Do you know the Vale of Glamorgan is the most Eurosceptic | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Mr Davies should be right at home then. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
He has announced he will vote to leave the EU in June. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Did he agonise over whether to make that announcement? | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Anyone who knows me knows I agonise over very little. | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
That is why I look so young, and my Hollywood good looks! | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
The leader of the Welsh Conservatives speaking to | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Staying with Europe, Geraint Talfan Davies has been named | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
as Chairman of Wales Stronger in Europe, a group campaigning | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
for the UK to remain in the European Union. | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
His son, BBC Wales Director Rhodri Talfan Davies, | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
has said he'll step away from coverage of the referendum | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
campaign due to his father's involvement. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
The proposals put forward by the developers of | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
QinetiQ has been showing BBC Wales Today how the unmanned craft | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
can be used to manage flooding and fish stocks. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
But critics are concerned about their future use | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
It is the technology of the future and increasingly drones | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
are being looked at for their wider social, environmental | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
This drone mapped us as we watched it in flight. | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
It is being used to assess which land can be rescued | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
and which would be lost to flooding as well as preventing | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Bosses at Llanbedr say this location is uniquely placed to capitalise | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
I think it is fair we're going to see both civil and military | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
But I think it is the technology not to be scared of. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
It is just another advance in the same way we have had | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
jet engines and fly-by-wire over the years. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Wales could be at the forefront of the drone revolution | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
although it faces stiff international competition. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
It would allow us to build on the 23,000 | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
people already employed in the aerospace sector. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
It would also offer new opportunities including | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
in software development and the ability | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
to analyse the huge amount of data that comes from these drones. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
But what is really controversial in Llanbedr is the idea that it | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
will be used potentially for military applications. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
The danger of having an industry that is based on the drone | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
technology and behind the mask of civilian and environmental use, | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
is that military drones will become part | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
There has always been concern about military applications | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
in aerospace but if you look at the way it has gone over the last | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
20 or 30 years, the balance is very much | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
Again, looking at the environmental challenges the planet faces, | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
we need all the help we can get from that aerospace technology. | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
Having more drones quietly flying overhead has also led to some | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
We have had helicopters doing the same | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
jobs that drones now do, flying above peoples heads, | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
for years and nobody has paid any attention. | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
Because drones are lower and they are new, they are | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
a novelty, people are concerned in a different way. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
As with any new technology it will take | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
time to fully work out what place drones have. | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
In the meantime, Llanbedr and Wales look to be in good positions | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
Tonight's sport. Starting with rugby, here's Iwan. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
We'll start by looking ahead to the Big Six Nations showdown | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
between England and Wales at Twickenham on Saturday. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
Wales coach, Warren Gatland says the winner will probably also claim | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
And with that in mind he's selected an unchanged XV | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
Rhys Webb back on the field in Welsh colours for the first time in | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
The Ospreys scrum-half recovered from injury and ready to fire | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
But has tp accept a place on the bench. | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
He has had a few good games for the Ospreys under his belt | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
Once players get a few games under their | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
belt they are ready to go back into international rugby and he's | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
come back on the bench so it is not like | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
you're asking him to play a full 80 minutes. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
I'm sure he will have an impact from the bench if he is used. | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Gareth Davies retains the number nine shirt impressing with his sixth | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Bradley Davies is also in the first 15 and will start at second row | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
Despite the return of six foot ten lock Luke Charteris | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
He is on the bench among with Paul James who steps | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
in for injured veteran Gethin Jenkins. | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
It is an experienced squad with a head coach saying Wales | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
are stronger now than they were before the World | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
Cup game against England in September. | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
We feel there is a lot of strength in depth in terms of experience | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
of the loose forwards that the two locks, the two young | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
props continue to get better and better. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Samson Lee has been coming back from injury in the World Cup | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
so we feel that Samson and Rob Evans have done really well and Scott | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Baldwin has continued to get better and better as a hooker as well. | :22:22. | :22:33. | |
One of the biggest battles on Saturday will be between two family | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
members. To Lupe Faletau in up against Curzon, Billy Vunipola. The | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
opposition and the rate or daughter then by double has become England's | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
most destructive player. -- the opposition player brought up in Bonn | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
to Paul. As they say, Toby has been doing well foreigners and Billy has | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
been the talisman for them in the pack. | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
To this current crop of players, Twickenham has ceased to be an | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
intimidating venue. Wales have won there three times since 2008. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
England may be unbeaten under Eddie Jones but these men in red are | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
confident in their ability to bring that run to an end in four days' | :23:20. | :23:20. | |
time. Wales Women also field an unchanged | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
side against England. Their game is on Saturday | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
at the Twickenham Stoop at 6.05pm. Meanwhile, the teams manager has | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
signed an open letter to broadcasters calling for more | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
media coverage of women's sport. The letter is also supprted by many | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
leading female figures including Jazz Carlin, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Frankie Jones, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
and Nicole Cooke. There is definitely positives | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
but we could get better coverage and I think within | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
the letter, we have called for dedicated media | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
representation to look If we keep on working in that | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
direction it can be positive Cardiff City host Leeds | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
in the Championship tonight. A result could see them climb back | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
into the play-off places. Newport welcome | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
Barnet in League Two. Another four Welsh names have been | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
added to the Paralympic team that Rob Davies, Paul Davies, | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
Sara Head and Paul Karabardak have all been included | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
in the Great Britain Paralympic Rob Davies who broke his back | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
playing rugby in 2005, claimed Class 1 individual bronze | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
four years ago and is the current While Sara is aiming to build | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
on the bronze she won My goal and my dream | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
would be to medal. But as long as I put my best | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
on the table when I'm out there, because it is such a difficult | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
competition then I can It is great because we have a team | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
within a team and for us, to go out there and represent Wales | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
as well as Great Britain Trouble's brewing on the weather | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
front Derek's got the forecast. The chart for tomorrow shows a nasty | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
low pressure on our door step and that's going to bring a spell | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
of wet and very windy weather. The Met Office has | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
issued two warnings. The another for strong to severe | :25:21. | :25:21. | |
gale force winds in There is a risk of flooding | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
in places, travel disruption This evening a dry start | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
but it won't last. Rain will spread across | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
the country overnight. The rain heaviest in the south | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
with snow on higher ground. The wind picking up later | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
in the night with gales in So here's the picture | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
for eight in the morning. Mainly above 300 metres or 1000 feet | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
but I wouldn't rule out sleet 70mph coastal areas in the south | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
and west and on higher ground. So, some poor travelling conditions | :26:00. | :26:12. | |
tomorrow. Remaining windy into the afternoon | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
but the rain will ease and clear. So, turning drier and brighter, | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
especially in the west Top temperatures five to eight | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Celsius and feeling much colder In Pembrokeshire tomorrow windy | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
with gales but becoming Rain in the morning will clear | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
leaving a dry and sunnier afternoon. Most places dry bar one or two | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
showers in mid and north Wales. And a colder night with | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
a touch of frost inland. One or two light showers otherwise | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
a lot of dry weather. A little sunshine and feeling less | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
cold with lighter winds. The wind remains light | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
on Friday and Saturday. A little rain or drizzle | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
but becoming dry over the weekend. Milder too with high pressure | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
on the way. A spell of wet and very windy | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
weather later tonight and tomorrow. There needs to be a systematic | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
and independent review of out-of-hours hospital care | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
in Wales according to The Welsh Government says | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
it'll consider the issue. Is that the members have backed a | :27:23. | :27:36. | |
proposed ban on e-cigarettes in some public places. | :27:37. | :27:37. | |
I'll have an update for you here at eight o'clock and again | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
From all of us on the programme, good evening. | :27:42. | :27:43. |
