Tonight's headlines: The battle to become First Minister.

:00:00.:00:07.

The vote ends in deadlock as Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood

:00:08.:00:09.

is backed by the Tories and Ukip for the top job.

:00:10.:00:12.

And a court hears a GP, accused of failing to prevent

:00:13.:00:15.

the death of Ryan Morse, did not breach her duty

:00:16.:00:17.

The battle is on to become the next First Minister of Wales.

:00:18.:00:38.

As Assembly Members returned to the Senedd following last week's

:00:39.:00:40.

election, Labour's Carwyn Jones was expected to be re-appointed

:00:41.:00:44.

but Plaid Cymru nominated its leader, Leanne Wood.

:00:45.:00:48.

And it ended in deadlock, 29 votes each, after

:00:49.:00:52.

Leanne Wood won the backing of the Conservatives and Ukip.

:00:53.:00:55.

Here's our political editor, Nick Servini.

:00:56.:00:59.

It was supposed to have been a formality, but instead,

:01:00.:01:02.

the nomination of who should be the next First Minister turned

:01:03.:01:05.

into a dramatic roll call between Carwyn Jones

:01:06.:01:09.

or Plaid Cymru's leader, Leanne Wood.

:01:10.:01:12.

The Conservatives and Ukip supported Leanne Wood,

:01:13.:01:37.

Kirsty Williams for the Liberal Democrats

:01:38.:01:39.

The deadlock caught everyone by surprise.

:01:40.:01:44.

The woman who had just been made the new Presiding Officer,

:01:45.:01:47.

In frantic briefings immediately after by, Plaid said they took

:01:48.:01:57.

the action because Carwyn Jones had refused to delay the vote.

:01:58.:02:02.

All they wanted was more time to discuss policies.

:02:03.:02:07.

What is quite clear from this today is that the people of Wales now see

:02:08.:02:12.

very clearly that not one party has an overall majority here.

:02:13.:02:16.

Any party who seeks to form a government has to reflect

:02:17.:02:19.

on the fact that there needs to be a consensus, bridge-building,

:02:20.:02:22.

The Tories were happy to support Plaid Cymru.

:02:23.:02:27.

There was an opportunity for the opposition parties to come

:02:28.:02:29.

together today and put a check on Labour, just assuming

:02:30.:02:33.

that they were going to have a coronation.

:02:34.:02:35.

Now discussions will ensue over the next couple of days

:02:36.:02:37.

to see if a programme of government can emerge.

:02:38.:02:40.

There was a furious reaction from Labour, who described it

:02:41.:02:43.

as a stunt and a sign that by Plaid were prepared to go back

:02:44.:02:46.

on what they said they would not do, which was do deals

:02:47.:02:49.

We do have very clear mandate to govern.

:02:50.:02:56.

That mandate should be respected by the other parties in This Place.

:02:57.:03:01.

When I was voting in my old infant school last week, I was talking

:03:02.:03:05.

to people who would never ever have voted Plaid Cymru if they had known

:03:06.:03:11.

the first action they would do was to do a deal with

:03:12.:03:14.

The intention here was clear from all of the opposition parties

:03:15.:03:41.

and Plaid Cymru in particular, to give Labour a bloody nose.

:03:42.:03:44.

Talks will continue over the next few days ahead of another vote.

:03:45.:03:49.

One of the biggest issues facing the next Welsh Government

:03:50.:03:52.

The Prime Minister and the Confederation of

:03:53.:03:55.

British Industry's Director General are calling on ministers to get

:03:56.:03:58.

on with it but the company Roadchef has raised an official objection

:03:59.:04:02.

to the plans, saying they would be devastating for the future of one

:04:03.:04:05.

This is a business that has a long and very successful future,

:04:06.:04:20.

providing a motorway to the service area. The danger is that if plans go

:04:21.:04:26.

ahead, I am not sure this service area has a future.

:04:27.:04:28.

A former North Wales Police officer will go on trial in September,

:04:29.:04:31.

charged with historic sexual abuse of boys.

:04:32.:04:33.

Retired superintendent Gordon Anglesea from Old Colwyn,

:04:34.:04:34.

seen here at an earlier hearing, faces several charges

:04:35.:04:37.

The trial will be held at the Old Bailey in London.

:04:38.:04:43.

National Museum workers and union members protested outside the Senedd

:04:44.:04:46.

today as they continue their strike over cuts to extra pay

:04:47.:04:50.

on weekends and bank holidays for frontline staff.

:04:51.:04:54.

National Museum Wales says it's continuing discussions with staff

:04:55.:04:56.

A court has heard that a GP, accused of failing to prevent

:04:57.:05:03.

the death of a 12-year-old boy from Blaenau Gwent,

:05:04.:05:05.

did not breach her duty towards him in any way.

:05:06.:05:08.

Dr Lindsey Thomas denies unlawfully killing Ryan Morse

:05:09.:05:11.

Her colleague, Dr Joanne Rudling, also denies manslaughter

:05:12.:05:17.

Paul Heaney reports from Cardiff Crown Court.

:05:18.:05:24.

Ryan Moorse had Addison's disease, a rare condition of the adrenal

:05:25.:05:27.

gland which can be fatal if left untreated.

:05:28.:05:30.

But in the hours before he died his mother spoke to one of his GPs,

:05:31.:05:38.

In a statement read out in court, Doctor Thomas described

:05:39.:05:43.

the conversation she had with Ryan's mother on the phone

:05:44.:05:45.

In it she described Ryan being extremely unwell, being sick

:05:46.:05:51.

with with profuse diarrhoea, and with a high temperature.

:05:52.:05:54.

She suggested that Ryan try to take paracetamol to bring his temperature

:05:55.:05:57.

down and that his mother should ring back in two hours if

:05:58.:06:00.

She checked for symptoms of meningitis and satisfied

:06:01.:06:04.

that they weren't present she decided his symptoms

:06:05.:06:08.

were probably down to the Norovirus, a stomach bug that was going around

:06:09.:06:11.

at the time and something that Ryan's mother suspected

:06:12.:06:13.

She said she was shocked to discover next week at work

:06:14.:06:18.

Doctor Thomas told police, "I do not feel I have

:06:19.:06:22.

"I do not feel I was in anyway neglectful to him".

:06:23.:06:28.

Doctor Lindsey Thomas and her colleague, Doctor Joanne Rudling,

:06:29.:06:30.

deny charges of manslaughter through gross negligence

:06:31.:06:33.

Sport, and the Football Association of Wales say there's still a chance

:06:34.:06:40.

Joe Ledley could play at Euro 2016 this summer despite Crystal Palace

:06:41.:06:45.

confirming today that the midfielder has broken a bone in his leg.

:06:46.:06:49.

The injury means he's almost certain of missing his club's FA Cup Final

:06:50.:06:52.

Swansea City have announced head coach Francesco Guidolin has agreed

:06:53.:06:58.

a new two-year contract with the club.

:06:59.:07:01.

The Italian guided the Swans to Premier League safety

:07:02.:07:03.

and chairman Huw Jenkins says the 60-year-old deserves

:07:04.:07:06.

the chance to continue his good work next season.

:07:07.:07:09.

But Jenkins also confirmed he spoke with the club's former

:07:10.:07:12.

This is what fans in Swansea had to say.

:07:13.:07:19.

They brought him in to stay in the Premier League and that

:07:20.:07:27.

He has done a good job over the last few months.

:07:28.:07:35.

I think he will do a good job for us.

:07:36.:07:43.

Heavy rain has led to flooding in South Wales.

:07:44.:07:45.

Two adults and two children were rescued from a car

:07:46.:07:48.

stranded in flood water in the Vale of Glamorgan.

:07:49.:07:51.

It's one of many roads to be affected.

:07:52.:07:53.

This footage taken on a mobile phone shows the extent of the water

:07:54.:07:56.

There have been several traffic delays as a result of the water.

:07:57.:08:04.

Here's Sue Charles with the forecast.

:08:05.:08:09.

Some torrential downpours across Wales today with reports

:08:10.:08:13.

of localised flooding but generally turning drier tomorrow

:08:14.:08:14.

Tonight, still a warning for a few thundery downpours eventually

:08:15.:08:25.

easing, turning drier for most but another cloudy,

:08:26.:08:27.

misty, muggy night with temperatures holding up in double figures.

:08:28.:08:38.

Early showers will ease, mist clears then turning drier with sunshine

:08:39.:08:42.

Feeling fresher 13 Celsius. Still hanging onto the warmth in the south

:08:43.:09:05.

and that's the trend across Wales. Tomorrow night, any showers

:09:06.:09:20.

clearing. A few mist patches and turning drier, clear overnight.

:09:21.:09:23.

Temperatures lower than recent nights. Noticeably fresher tomorrow

:09:24.:09:28.

night as the cooler air behind this cold front starts to sink

:09:29.:09:33.

southwards. Friday is generally drier and brighter with variable

:09:34.:09:37.

cloud and sunny spells, feeling fresher in that north-westerly

:09:38.:09:41.

breeze, particularly along the North Wales coast. Temperatures back where

:09:42.:09:44.

they should be for mid-May. After the humid wet start of the week,

:09:45.:09:49.

starting to turn brighter tomorrow and try. Also a bit cooler over the

:09:50.:09:51.

weekend. But from all of us here, a very

:09:52.:09:54.

good evening.

:09:55.:10:00.
