Welcome to Wales Today. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Tonight's headlines: | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Martin Bowen stabbed his ex-partner - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
the police watchdog criticises three Gwent officers for not doing enough | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
to keep her safe in the days before. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
And a report says Cardiff Airport's missing passenger targets and lacks | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
a long-term plan to grow. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Three Gwent Police officers took insufficient action to safeguard | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
a woman from Newport, who was later stabbed | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
by her ex-partner. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
That's the finding of an investigation | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
by the police watchdog. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Christine Evans called for help after 24-year-old Martin Bowen began | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
texting her, in breach of a harassment warning. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
But officers didn't go to her home, and hours later, Bowen | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
stabbed her multiple times. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
Carys Notley reports. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Martin Bowen's violent past was known to police. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
They knew his former partner Christine Evans | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
was at high risk of harm from him. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
When Christine called for help, she should have received a priority | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
response. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
They failed to get to her before Bowen stabbed her in | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
the neck and chest. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
The case prompted a review by the Independent Police Complaints | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Commission, which found a lack of understanding and confusion | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
amongst officers around risk assessments and some failures | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
to follow force policies and procedures. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:40 | |
From the start, from the time Ms Evans contacted the control | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
room, through to the response, through to the way | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
in which all involved in Ms Evans dealt with her, they failed | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
to safeguard her. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
Charities say they are concerned cases like Christine's | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
could deter others from seeking help. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
We are concerned that it could put people off | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
reporting abuse, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
which we very much don't want to happen. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
We know that there have been a lot of improvements. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
But the IPCC commissioner points out this | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
isn't the first time Gwent Police's poor handling of domestic abuse | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
cases have been criticised. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
The force was criticised for the way it | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
dealt with the murder of Caroline Parry, shot dead | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
by her esranged husband near her home in Newport in 2013. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
There were similarities between the cases. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
I wrote to the Chief Constable and highlighted the fact | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
that the force really needed to go back to the beginning, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
overhaul all its systems and processes. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
Gwent police who referred the actions of the offices | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
Gwent police who referred the actions of the officers | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
to the IPCC says it has taken action against those involved | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
in the case of Christine Evans and has made dramatic operational | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
and organisational changes to address | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
the issues raised. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
They added they are constantly trying to do their best on behalf | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
of the public. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Christine Evans survived the attack, a crime for which Martin Bowen | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
is now serving an eight-year sentence. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
The former footballer, Ched Evans, won't hear if his appeal | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
against his rape conviction is successful until next month. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Judges at the Court of Appeal reserved judgment | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
following the two-day hearing which included new evidence. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
The prosecution has indicated it would seek a retrial | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
if the appeal succeeds. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
The Wales International was jailed in 2012 for raping a 19-year-old | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
at a hotel in Rhuddlan. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:33 | |
A woman from Machynlleth has been charged with attempted murder, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
after a man was stabbed at one of the UK's main athletics stadiums. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
41-year-old Lauren Jeska is accused of attacking him | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham yesterday. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Police say he's in a stable condition. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Ms Jeska is due before magistrates tomorrow. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:53 | |
Cardiff Airport's missing its passenger targets and lacks | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
a long-term plan to expand - that's according to a group | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
of Assembly Members. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
But the Public Accounts Committee said the reasons for | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
the Welsh Government's purchase of the airport were clear, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
and the ?52 million cost could be justified. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
More from our Business Correspondent, Brian Meechan. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
More and more of us are using Cardiff airport. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
New routes are being added and facilities are being | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
improved. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
But it hasn't been meeting the target originally set for it | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
by the Welsh government, which bought it in 2013. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
In the most recent financial year, 1 million passengers went | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
through the airport. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
By 2018 that is due to grow to 1.4 million a year. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
The original projection was for 2 million travellers | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
by that point. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
The Public Accounts Committee has challenged those figures. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
It was clear from the evidence we received | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
It was clear from the evidence we received | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
as a committee that basically the Welsh government figures | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
were overly optimistic at the time that the | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
airport was purchased so on that basis it was difficult | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
and was always going to be difficult for the airport to achieve | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
the figures that had been placed in the business | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
plan. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Assembly members are concerned there is no long-term plan | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
for the airport and they want to see more experts on the board. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
The committee of assembly members concluded that the ?52 | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
million price tag for this airport could be justified and the reasons | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
for buying it were clear. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:27 | |
They did also hear from an expert who said that a private commercial | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
company wouldn't have paid that price for it. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
Flybe recently announced a series of new European routes, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
celebrating with a traditional water cannon salute. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
The Welsh government says the airport | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
would have closed if it hadn't stepped in to buy it. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
Flybe has announced it will be flying four | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
times a day from Cardiff to London City Airport for six weeks | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
from September, when the Severn rail tunnel is closed so rails can be | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
electrified. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
The airport managing director says developing new routes | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
is part of the long-term plan. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
We had 21% growth last year, which I think is phenomenal | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
in our business. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
We have 15 new routes and we have introduced new destinations | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
so I think in terms of the business, we | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
are on an upward trajectory. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
Many businesses will be hoping the new | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
Cardiff to London route could continue beyond the six weeks | 0:06:24 | 0:06:34 | |
announced and for the airport a sign of a future direction rather | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
than the assessment of the past. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
One lane of the A55 remains closed in both directions tonight | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
after a chemical spill from a lorry in Conwy. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
The road was first shut yesterday morning and traffic has remained | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
slow after thousands of gallons leaked from the tanker onto the road | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
between Colwyn Bay and Llanddulas. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Hundreds of Welsh farmers have been in London as part of a rally | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
to raise awareness of the crisis they say is facing the industry. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Dairy farmers say they're struggling to cope with fluctuating milk | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
prices, and warn of "devastation" for west Wales if the situation | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
doesn't improve. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
Around ?2,000 farmers and supporters marched to Downing Street. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:13 | |
World Rugby has confirmed England's Joe Marler WILL face | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
an independent misconduct hearing, for comments made towards Wales' | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
Samson Lee during the Six Nations match at Twickenham | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
earlier this month. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
The Six Nations decided NOT to punish Marler but the sport's | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
governing body says it's exercising its right to take what it | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
describes as appropriate action. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
Wales Manager Chris Coleman says playing at the European | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Championships behind closed doors would be a sad day for the sport. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
European Football's governing body, Uefa, has insisted there are NO | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
plans to play matches at Euro 2016 at empty stadia, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
in response to the increased security threat. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
It comes after a senior Uefa official failed to rule out staging | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
games without fans. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:01 | |
The weather forecast now and with news of a change | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
on the way, here's Derek. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
After a week or two of dry weather, things are about to change and it's | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
back to normal tomorrow for some wind and rain on the way. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Maybe the odd light shower in places this | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
evening but no more than that. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
For most of us a dry night with a few | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
gaps in the cloud. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Chilly inland. 6 degrees on Gower. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
Tomorrow morning is dry for most of us first thing | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
but it won't last. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
Rain will spread from the West during the morning | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
with winds picking up. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
Across the rest of the UK south-east England | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
and East Anglia is dry and bright but rain will spread eastwards | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
during the day with freshening winds. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
The rain clearing to showers in Northern Ireland in the afternoon | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
with a top temperature of 10 Celsius in Belfast. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Closer to home, cloudy with outbreaks of rain | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
in the afternoon. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
Worst of the rain in the south and West. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
Less rain in the East in the shadow. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
Tomorrow evening further outbreaks of rain for most | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
of us but overnight drier and clearer whether it will spread | 0:09:05 | 0:09:12 | |
from the north-west with temperatures in Gwynedd | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
dropping to three Celsius. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Good Friday will be a much nicer day, dry and bright with sunshine | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
and light winds and it will feel like spring with a high of 12 | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Celsius in Flintshire. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
A different kettle of fish for Saturday. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Wet and windy with heavy rain clearing in two showers | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
by the evening. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
For Easter Day on Sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
heavy in places with hail and under possible | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
and gusty winds. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
On Good Friday it will be the best day of the Easter | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
holiday weekend. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
On bank holiday Monday low-pressure looks like | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
bringing another spell of rain with strong wind. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Enjoy Good Friday if you can. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
We're back with updates in breakfast from 6:00am tomorrow morning. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
But that's Wales Today. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 |
