Historical allegations of sexual and physical

abuse at this army barracks where Cheryl James died.

Now a Welsh MP calls for them to be re-examined.

Are there still lessons that we need to learn here? Are there still

people who might even still be serving that we need to look at

their behaviour? 24 days after breaking

his leg, Joe Ledley Fanzones captured the

agony and the ecstacy why doesn't football get

the same treatment in Wales? Imagine if we beat England,

Gareth Bale scores the winner, we beat England and he goes,

here is the reaction in Cardiff and there are a couple of people

walking past Marks Spencers. dozens of rescues around the Welsh

coast, a warning about safety And we've enjoyed some lovely

weather recently, but what's in the store for the first day

of summer tomorrow and A dossier of abuse should be

re-examined, that is the call tonight from Bridgend MP Madeleine

Moon. It comes as parents of Welsh shoulder Joel James prepared to hear

the verdict into the death of cash into her death at the camp in 1985

-- Cheryl James. Des James wore a black tie

of mourning for his daughter before the start of the inquest,

which is now approaching He said he was wearing

it for the last time. He campaigned for 20 years to get

at the truth of what happened to 18-year-old Cheryl James,

who was found dead from a gunshot The new inquest was ordered

by the High Court, which found the first inquest which was held

three weeks after she Whatever the verdict this time,

he says, he is satisfied that what could have

been done has been done. I have every respect for the judge

and I think it is possible for us to acknowledge that we have gone

as far as we could go, Cheryl was one of four young army

recruits who was said to have killed themselves at the Deepcut

army barracks in Surrey But persistent questions

about the circumstances of their deaths lead to long

campaigns by their families Ten years ago, an independent review

commissioned by the Tony Blair government catalogued serious

allegations from other recruits of bullying and sexual

harassment at the base, which were recorded by Surrey

Police. But to date, it is not known

if anyone was ever held to account. Labour MP Madeleine Moon

is a member of the House She says it is time the public knew

what action, if any, was taken. This is a time and a place

in which we can go back and look and find out what happened,

are there still lessons that we need to learn here, are there

still people who might even still be serving,

that we need to look Deepcut is still home

to the Royal Logistics Corps. Although it is no longer

used for training. The Army has apologised

to Cheryl James' parents for past failings at the base,

but it says lessons The human rights group Liberty

supported the Jameses in their bid They say that despite the fact that

an independent service complaints ombudsman is meant

to deal with complaints, they did not have

faith in the system. I feel my best advice is don't

bother complaining because I do not doubt that the ombudsman

when she gets her hands on the complaint will be able to

conduct a rigorous and independent The problem is by the time it

has got to that point, the person making the complaint

is so ground down by it In a statement, the services

complaints ombudsman said she recognises there has been a lack

of confidence in the system but substantial

reforms are underway. For Des James, that was one

of the key reasons why he wanted to press for an inquest 20 years

after his daughter died, to try to get to the truth

and stop it happening again. And you can see more on this story

in Week In Week Out, "Deepcut: A Family's Fight

for the Truth", here A man who died after an incident

on a farm near Monmouth has been named as 65-year-old

David Llewellyn from Tredegar. Mr Llewellyn was found at

Manson Lane on Wednesday afternoon. Around 70 people from the traveller

community gathered outside Cardiff Crown Court earlier today

to protest against the conviction of four men for offences,

including forced labour and kidnap. The protesters demonstrated

against the decision 11 days before their first

tournament for more than half a century, Wales manager

Chris Coleman has revealed the players who'll be going to the

finals in France. They are the lucky few who'll be

representing Wales. Less than a month after breaking his

leg, Joe Ledley has remarkably made it into the squad,

although Chris Coleman is unsure But there was disappointment for

four players left out of the squad. Chris Coleman said it

was one of the toughest The last time Wales qualified

for a major championship, Today, Chris Coleman revealed

the players he'd chosen and nearly got through the entire 23,

without looking at his notes. Hal Robson-Kanu,

David Cotterill. Joe Ledley has been given every

chance to be included and could feature against Slovakia

a week Saturday. That would represent

a remarkable recovery, We cannot say he is going to be

ready at this time. What they do know is,

judging by his injury and the history of that type

of injury, then he is He looks fantastic he in

great physical shape. He's shown faith with

the men who achieved Wayne Henneseey will be

first choice in goal. Led by Ashley Williams,

they conceded just four goals in qualifying,

but Adam Matthews and Another man not going,

Emyr Huws, who impressed against the Netherlands

last autumn, but at 22, Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen

is a doubt for Sunday's warm-up match in Sweden,

but has returned to training. The Fulham man may be an unknown

quantity for the opposition. Up front alongside Gareth Bale

is Hal Robson-Kanu. He's expected to be fit in time

for the tournament, but after picking up an injury,

Wes Burns will stay with the squad Chris Coleman revealed

it was the toughest thing he has had to do in management,

to tell four of his players that they would not be

going to the European Championships. He sat them down individually

and explained his reasons during the training camp

in Portugal on Sunday. Chris Coleman's chosen a squad

that includes a keeper from Inverness Cally Thistle

and a Galactico from Real Madrid. The chosen 23 will meet tonight

at their training base. They won't return home till

the tournament's over. And the players and the fans will be

hoping that means a long and successful summer in France. More on

that story later. The man leading Labour's campaign

for Britain to remain in the EU says there's frustration and concern

that the referendum campaign is being dominated by infighting

within the Conservative party. Alan Johnson was speaking

during a visit to Barry Island with just over three weeks to go

before the vote. Leave campaigners responded

by saying Labour was struggling to win the argument

on subjects like immigration. Here's our political

editor, Nick Servini. Is there anywhere you can go to

escape the EU referendum campaign? No doubt these families out enjoying

and ice cream on Barry Island were hoping to do just that when this

happens, a group of senior Labour politicians go on a walkabout to try

and persuade people to vote to remain in. But there is a potential

problem for Labour in a place like Wales because it is trying to appeal

to its voters at a time when so much of the story has been about Doris

Johnson taking on David Cameron. People do get a bit concerned and a

bit annoyed and frustrated when it looks like a Tory leadership

contest. It is the most profound political decision of my lifetime,

much more important than general elections and much more important

than who will be the next Tory leader. This is the second visit of

the labour battle bus to Wales and later in the week, it Jeremy Corbyn

will be in Cardiff. The vast majority of senior Labour figures

want the Britain to remain in the EU but the challenge for the parties to

get the Labour vote out, particularly when so much of the

debate is framed as a kind of Tory civil war. Leave campaigners have

dismissed the concerns, saying this is not about party politics but

about Labour figures on the remain said losing the argument. I imagine

Labour are having problems motivating their own supporters to

come out and vote because people understand that as part of the

European Union, we have no say about how many immigrants come to the

United Kingdom and we have no say over Europe immigration politics.

People understand that as part of the European Union, the UK has no

control over immigration policy. The weather is hotting up and so is the

campaigning. With three weeks to go, these were some views on the subject

in Aberystwyth. The borders are not checked properly. We pay too much

money into Europe anyway. We don't get anything back from Europe.

Better economy, hopefully, better freedom of movement and jobs. I

think we will be better off looking after ourselves. We are supposed to

be the fifth richest country. If you want to come here and work, go for

it. We go to the places and work. Labour says it will keep lugging a

way as its battle bus continues its journey. The leave side will keep

bugging away as well as the referendum campaign enters a

critical stage. Lifeboat crews say they've had

the busiest weekend of the year so far with 31 callouts around

the coast of Wales. In Llandudno, ten people,

including a small child, were stranded on a sandbank,

while off Pembrokeshire a fishing Rhyl lifeboat was among those

launched and Roger Pinney Over the past few weeks, Belgium has

seen a number of different strikes. Train drivers, our traffic

controllers and prison guards have all taken action. Today, teachers

and even police officers are being urged to join in.

When the sun shines, you forget just how dangerous these waters can be.

Much more to come before 7pm. Fanzones captured the agony

and the ecstacy of the Rugby World Cup.

Why doesn't football get the same treatment?

And what does half term hold in store weatherwise

The new National Poet of Wales officially began his duties

with an appearance at the Hay Festival.

Ifor ap Glyn was appointed earlier this year, but took

on the title during a special handover with the woman

who's been doing the job for the past eight years,

Watching it all, our arts and media correspondent, Huw Thomas.

The new National Poet in praise of his predecessor.

Ifor ap Glyn began his reign with a poem in tribute

In contrast to her, he writes in Welsh.

He is also a TV producer and wants to take his poems

I write in Welsh, so there is a challenge to get

people who read Welsh to engage with poetry.

There is the challenge then of getting stuff across into other

languages because it is important that the national poet represents

both literatures of Wales and all the languages of Wales.

The poets were the latest names to grace this year's Hay Festival.

Russell T Davies and Maxine Peake kept audiences entertained over

the bank at a weekend, along with the James Bond director,

But with Hay on Wye famous for words, the poets shone today.

Time for a quick drink to celebrate now that those formalities are over

but also a chance to get some words of wisdom from the woman who has

The person who is holding the torch, who has the current link

in the chain between his two hands, it is really good that it is Ifor.

Ifor ap Glyn's first commission is a poem to mark the opening

next week, while Gillian Clarke remains a full-time poet and to many

War veterans and cadets gathered at a war memorial in Holyhead

to remember the many Welshmen who died during the Battle

of Jutland, fought off the coast of Denmark in 1916.

More now on the Wales Squad for Euro 2016 with Tomos.

23 players have made the cut for Wales' first

One man who knows all about the highs and lows of Welsh

A lot of the chat was about Joe Ledley today. Is it a risk that he

goes to the tournament? It is not now because they have named him in

the squad. He has got to be 100% fit because he is a valuable part of the

Welsh setup. Do you think there will be some players feeling hard done by

being left out? It is so difficult. It is new to all of us for 60 years

really. It is so difficult to tell. Emyr Huws I feel a bit four, he is

such a talented player but he has gone in there with David Vaughan and

a lot of experience and hopefully it works out for him. Let's assess the

opposition. The first game of the tournament for Wales is against

Slovakia. They beat Germany at the weekend. How do you assess that

team? Slovakia are fantastic site, as are sure. Hopefully England will

make a fool of themselves in their first game so Wales camp get

started. If we can get something from at first game, do not take

anything for granted, we have to be up for it and if we get something

from at first game, we have a chance of getting through to the next

round. Roy Hodgson has named his squad for the tournament. What are

the threats in that team? There are lots of good players but as a

Welshman, I do not give a monkeys about how England do and how they

play. If Russia can hold on to something in that game, the press

puts so much pressure on those English players, they come unstuck

in tournament after tournament and I think that is what has gone to

happen again this time. You have played through some good times and

bad times too. How important is this moment for Welsh football? Massive,

absolutely massive. This is like a team rather than an International.

It is a club setup. Chris Coleman and Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are

the top players. Ashley Williams, they want to play for Wales, they

want to play for Chris Coleman. With that mentality and that attitude,

why can't we go to the next round? Leicester have done it, Greece did

it all those years ago, why can't it be Wales' turn?

An online petition calling for a fan zone to be set up in Cardiff

during Wales' Euro 2016 campaign has nearly a thousand signatures.

It has gained the support of politicians and some businesses.

Giant public screens set up in Cardiff Arms Park proved

during last year's Rugby World Cup, with football fans now

The shared sense of watching the game with a huge crowd of fellow

supporters is what has made fan zones so popular for those

who simply cannot travel to big tournaments.

During the Rugby World Cup, 158,000 rugby fans came

here to Cardiff Arms Park to watch the games over an 11 day period.

Now football fans want the same facility for those not lucky enough

But at the moment, there are no plans for any kind of fan zones

And that fact so incensed when student from Blackwood

that he started an online petition to rectify it.

Mark Jones now has approaching 1000 supporters who back his idea.

He says it is a matter of national pride.

This is bigger than anything the Welsh Rugby Union has done,

in my opinion, because they qualify for every World Cup,

This is our Cool Runnings, pretty much.

This is our Jamaican bobsleigh team moment.

Can you imagine if Northern Ireland get a big win now in the tournament

and Gary Lineker cuts back and goes this was the scene

Gareth Bale scores the winner, we beat England and he goes,

he is the reaction in Cardiff, and there are a couple of people

Northern Ireland, who have also qualified for Euro 2016,

are planning a 10,000 capacity fan zone in Belfast's Titanic Quarter.

Here, Plaid Cymru are urging the Welsh Government to follow suit.

I think it is high time that football stopped being

the Cinderella sport in Wales and we have reached a major final,

it should be a huge celebration all over Wales,

especially in the capital, and more than anything else, it

The government and the private sector should be getting

A Welsh Government spokesman said they have no issue with the concept

of fan zones and would enter discussions with any potential

sponsors and interested parties, such as the FAW

Meanwhile, ten miles down the road from the capital,

it looks like Newport will be getting a fan zone.

There is talk of a giant of four screen in John Frost Square

in the heart of the new city centre redevelopment.

So far in Cardiff, there are no similar proposals.

We have had a good dose of sunshine recently. Temperature wise, Cardiff

almost reached 23 Celsius this afternoon. It has not been sunny

everywhere. You can see on the satellite picture across England, a

lot more cloud and some heavy rain and some of this cloud is heading

our way. Tonight, cloud in the east will spread West. A few spots of

rain in the far south-east overnight. A fairly mild night.

Temperatures above 10 Celsius. Here is the picture for eight o'clock in

the morning. Not as nice as today. Generally much cloudier. A few spots

of rain may leave the other side of the border and feeling cooler with a

north to north-easterly breeze. Not as sunny as today but still some

bright spells. Some sunshine on the coast and in the south-west.

Cloudier for most of us tomorrow. A little rain in parts of the south

and east. Some heavy bursts of rain in Monmouthshire later in the

afternoon. The best of the weather in the West. Top temperatures

16-21dC. Warmest in south Carmarthenshire. If you are going to

the Hay Festival tomorrow, cloudy and breezy. The charter tomorrow

shows high pressure between Scotland and Iceland. Some patchy rain.

Tomorrow night, there will be some rain, mainly in mid and South Wales.

Parts of north and west staying dry. Into Thursday, spots of light rain

in the south and east will clear. Many places drive. 20 of cloud. Some

bright spells. Sunniest on Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula. Some

sunshine on Friday. Lighter winds as well. Looking ahead to next weekend,

a few scattered showers on Saturday which could be heavy and places.

Sunday Sagna Iran becoming warmer. Abe lived in the fine weather

tomorrow but still some sunshine in the West.

A reminder of our top story: The Welsh MP, Madeleine Moon,

is calling for a dossier of historical allegations of sexual

and physical abuse, involving recruits at Deepcut Army Barracks

It comes as the parents of the Welsh soldier,

Cheryl James, prepare to hear the verdict at the new inquest

I'll have an update for you here at 8pm and again

From all of us on the programme, good evening.
