Good Evening.

0:00:090:00:11

The Newport West MP Paul Flynn has been appointed

0:00:110:00:13

as the new Shadow Secretary of State for Wales.

0:00:130:00:16

Mr Flynn, who's 81, will carry out the role along with that

0:00:160:00:19

of Shadow Leader of the House.

0:00:190:00:21

Meanwhile the former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has called

0:00:210:00:23

on Jeremy Corbyn to step aside.

0:00:230:00:26

Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

0:00:260:00:29

Last week he was apopinted as the Shadow Leader

0:00:290:00:32

of the House and today, as more and more Labour MPs refused

0:00:320:00:36

to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, Paul Flynn is also the Shadow

0:00:360:00:38

Secretary of State for Wales.

0:00:380:00:41

He took to social media to say, while he was happy

0:00:410:00:45

with his two roles, he thought it best to pass on the chance to take

0:00:450:00:52

Aaron Ramsey's place in the Wales team as well!

0:00:520:00:54

But not everyone's been in such high spirits today.

0:00:540:00:56

As a Labour Leader during the turbulent 1980s,

0:00:560:00:58

Neil Kinnock knows a thing or two about keeping the party together.

0:00:580:01:01

When he was in charge, though, he fought against the party's left,

0:01:010:01:04

the very people defending Jeremy Corbyn now.

0:01:040:01:05

After a majority of MPs backed a vote of no confidence

0:01:050:01:09

in Mr Corbyn last week, today, the former leader urged the current

0:01:090:01:12

leader to stand aside.

0:01:120:01:14

Under the rules of the Labour Party, under the democratic

0:01:140:01:17

provisions of the Labour Party and the common-sense provisions of the

0:01:170:01:20

Labour Party, the leader must have substantial support

0:01:200:01:24

in the Parliamentary party.

0:01:240:01:28

Obviously there is no basis on which Jeremy

0:01:280:01:31

really could or should stay.

0:01:310:01:33

And Lord Kinnock wasn't the only one calling

0:01:330:01:35

for the Labour leader to go today, Rhondda MP Chris Bryant said it

0:01:350:01:38

would break the back of the party if Mr Corbyn remained in charge.

0:01:380:01:44

We, the supporters of Jeremy Corbyn...

0:01:440:01:48

At this rally in Cardiff Friday night there was plenty

0:01:480:01:51

of support for Mr Corbyn.

0:01:510:01:52

His supporters say the fact he was elected last September

0:01:520:01:55

with an overwhelming majority has to count for something,

0:01:550:01:57

but others suggest that support might be waning.

0:01:570:02:02

Yesterday we reported from the former Labour cabinet

0:02:020:02:04

minister, Peter Hain that these were dangerous times for the party.

0:02:040:02:09

At a time when they could be turning their attacks on a clearly

0:02:090:02:12

divided Conservative party in Westminster,

0:02:120:02:14

the internal wranglings inside the Labour party

0:02:140:02:15

show no sign of waning.

0:02:150:02:19

South Wales Police are continuing to question a 42-year-old man

0:02:190:02:22

after the death of a 27-year-old man in Barry in the early

0:02:220:02:25

hours of Saturday.

0:02:250:02:27

Police are treating the death as unexplained.

0:02:270:02:29

A 29-year-old man, who was arrested, has been released and

0:02:290:02:32

will not face any action.

0:02:320:02:35

Football - and the Wales team trained in Dinard this morning,

0:02:350:02:38

preparing for Wedensday night's semi-final against

0:02:380:02:40

Portugal in Euro 2016.

0:02:400:02:42

They will be without Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies who are suspended,

0:02:420:02:45

but the Manager feels the sqaud is strong enough to deal

0:02:450:02:48

with the loss.

0:02:480:02:52

When leaving Dinard for the quarterfinals last week some

0:02:520:02:55

journalists may have thought the time he had come to an end.

0:02:550:03:05

But in numbers, they're back in Brittany.

0:03:050:03:07

More media personnel than ever eager to

0:03:070:03:09

hear from the most successful manager in Welsh football history.

0:03:090:03:12

I think the time for us to start reflecting on this tournament will

0:03:120:03:15

be whenever the time is for us to go home.

0:03:150:03:19

And that time is not now.

0:03:190:03:22

Also put in front of the press today, the

0:03:220:03:25

man who fooled three Belgian defenders in Lille on Friday night.

0:03:250:03:28

His fancy footwork sure to be re-enacted by children on pitches

0:03:280:03:33

throughout the country for years to come.

0:03:330:03:37

Obviously what it meant to the nation and the manner in which I

0:03:370:03:41

scored it, it was a special feeling for myself and for all of us.

0:03:410:03:45

So, yeah, a goal all right.

0:03:450:03:50

In this beautiful seaside town of Dinard, Chris Coleman has plotted

0:03:500:03:54

a remarkable journey through Euro 2016.

0:03:540:03:56

They are in the semifinal.

0:03:560:03:58

It is Wales versus Portugal.

0:03:580:03:59

Gareth Bale versus Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:03:590:04:02

They have some of the best players on the

0:04:020:04:05

planet.

0:04:050:04:15

Obviously at Real Madrid they know each other very well but he

0:04:170:04:20

can still, he still has the capacity to do something special.

0:04:200:04:22

Unstoppable.

0:04:220:04:23

Of course that's the danger.

0:04:230:04:24

But we've got one of them as well in our team.

0:04:240:04:27

Wales will be without Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davis

0:04:270:04:29

on Wednesday night, both suspended after seeing two yellow cards during

0:04:290:04:32

the tournament.

0:04:320:04:33

A ruling slightly unfair says the manager.

0:04:330:04:35

You've got to feel for them because they've

0:04:350:04:37

done so much the same as everybody else to get us where we are but

0:04:370:04:40

again that is the tournament of football.

0:04:400:04:42

Just the rules with the yellow cards.

0:04:420:04:43

I thought, to be honest, the yellow card for Rambo

0:04:430:04:46

was a harsh one to be honest.

0:04:460:04:48

You've got Eden Hazard who almost picked

0:04:480:04:49

the ball up and started bouncing it with his hand and never got a yellow

0:04:490:04:53

card.

0:04:530:04:58

Whatever happens in Lyon in three days' time, Euro 2016 has been

0:04:580:05:01

historically special for Wales but these men

0:05:010:05:02

aren't ready to go home

0:05:020:05:03

and who would bet against them going all the way?

0:05:030:05:06

A record number of television viewers in Wales witnessed the Welsh

0:05:060:05:09

team make history by reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

0:05:090:05:12

The audience here for the 3 - 1 win over Belgium peaked

0:05:120:05:15

at 1.27 million - the highest-ever in the country for live sport.

0:05:150:05:19

It was also the third-highest TV audience in Wales this century,

0:05:190:05:23

exceeded only by the opening and closing ceremonies

0:05:230:05:25

of the London 2012 Olympics.

0:05:250:05:33

A look at the weather forecast and it'll be a dry night with some

0:05:330:05:36

clearer spells developing, especially through the early hours.

0:05:360:05:38

Tomorrow, after a generally dry start, many areas will turn cloudy.

0:05:380:05:41

There'll be some drizzle around in places, especially over higher

0:05:410:05:43

ground and along the coast.

0:05:430:05:45

Top temperature, 18C.

0:05:450:05:49

That's Wales Today.

0:05:490:05:50

I'll be back with our later update at around 10:35.

0:05:500:05:53

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

0:05:530:05:54

Bye for now.

0:05:540:05:58

Bye-bye.
