Good evening. It has been an incredible journey, an unforgettable | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
summer, but tonight, whales are heading home. They were beaten by | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Portugal 2-0, who were simply the better side on the night. Within the | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
last few minutes, Gareth Bale has said that the players are | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
disappointed but we are a proud nation, and it seems not a single | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Wales fan wanted to leave their seats at the full-time whistle. They | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
wanted to play tribute to the players who have lit up this entire | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
tournament. They gathered early to enjoy the French son. As ever, well | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
stands simply making the most of this unforgettable journey, mixing | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
well with the Portuguese fans. Inside the stadium, the singing, | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
possibly a decibel or two louder than the other five Wales Euro | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
matches. On the pitch, there was no love lost, Ashley Williams winning | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
the early battle between captains. If it was billed as a duel between | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
two Real Madrid stars in Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, the Welshman won the | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
earlier exchange, but there were times during the opening 40 minutes | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
when they have some defending to do after a K G4S, it was all square. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Then Cristiano joined the party. Higher than any defender, his header | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
dented Welsh hopes. Just a minute later, and those hopes were more or | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
less demolished. Ronaldo in the thick of it. Wales fought bravely | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
but the 2-0 scoreline could have been worse, and so Portugal brought | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
the Euro 2016 experience for Wales to an end, and exactly as they have | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
done over the last four memorable weeks, the supporters were on hand | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
on the final whistle to say thank you. Very proud. Disappointed we did | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
not get through to Sunday, but very proud. We played superbly. If anyone | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
said at the start of the tournament that we would come to the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
semifinals, we would have taken it. Mixed emotions. A mix-up over the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
moon that we got here but at the same time, one of those things. It | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
is disappointing but Wales have got really far, so I am kind of happy. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Seems to live long in the memory of a nation. From Holywell to Holyhead | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
and Cardiff, fans have travelled to France with hundreds of thousands | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
following this wondrous adventure from home. The journey for Chris | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Coleman's men may have come to an end in the semifinal in Lyon | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
tonight, but they have created a piece of history, a very special | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
piece of Welsh footballing history. Let's stop now. How do you think we | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
will back this campaign in use to come? With enormous pride. What | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
these players, the staff have achieved in the weeks that we're | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
been out here in France is unforgettable. Not just on the | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
pitch, what they have created back home, a new generation of football | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
fans, hopefully, and hopefully this will just be the beginning. We will | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
give them the respect to be disappointed for the next couple of | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
days and then it is on to the next campaign which is Wales trying to | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
get to the next World Cup. And you look these players very well. What | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
has this tournament meant to them? So much. The supporters here know | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
what is going on back home and they are flooded. They had loved having | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
that sea of red shirts supporting them every step of the way. I am | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
sure, especially with the average age of the squad, that there is more | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
to come. You mentioned the World Cup year. How successful do you think | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
this Wales site can be? Yes, they can grow. We have standout players, | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
we have a good team ethic. They love being together as part of the squad. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
They will be looking forward to the next time they meet up. There is | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
still more to come. I'm pretty confident of that. And a word about | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Chris Coleman. He has been through some tough times, but isn't it great | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
to see him achieving now after such a bad spell early on in his | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
managerial career? Yes took it well to get going in this job under very | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
difficult circumstances, but he is a hero. That is what bad manners. The | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
players love him, the fans love him, and he deserves all the plaudits | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
that he will get. Can you pick out one player? I think they have all | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
been excellent. Gareth Bale is the standout, but as a unit they have | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
given us memories that will last forever. Thank you very much. Safe | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
journey home. Well, the fans are making their way to the centre of | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Leon and Kate Morgan is there for us. There was no huge moment of | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
celebration in this fan zone tonight, after all the night | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
belonged to Portugal. Their fans spent most of the second half | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
celebrating, and by the final whistle, were running around and | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
celebrating. For the Welsh fans, it has been a long and emotional | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
tournament, but ultimately, a huge achievement. Most of them here have | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
waited their lifetimes to witness this, and here they work out in | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
France, very much part it. Gutted. Really, really gutted. The first | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
half was really good. When the goals came, I thought it was a bit | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
disappointing. I think we could have gone on and won again, other than | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
that, but proud, very proud. We are not going to Paris. Who cares? We | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
are going to Cardiff to see the fans back home and be welcomed home as | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
heroes, as they are, all of them. Chris Coleman and the boys are | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
magic. We are so proud that we are here in the semifinals. It is like | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
winning the World Cup. It is fantastic. And that's pretty much | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
sums up this tournament by the Wales fans. They are hugely proud of | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
everything their team have achieved. The fans I've spoken to, none of | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
them regret the crazy or long journeys, the time and the money | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
they've spent to get here, and why would they? They have just watched | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Wales play the semifinals of Euro 2016. 80 weeks ago, not many of them | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
thought they would say that. Flags here in Lyon will be flying high | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
tonight. senior Welsh Politicians have called | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
for the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, to face prosecution | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
over the war in Iraq. The Chilcot Inquiry says the UK | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
chose to join the invasion in 2003 before peaceful options | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
for disarming Saddam Hussein had Shadow Welsh Secretary, | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Paul Flynn, says prosecution should be considered, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
while Plaid Cymru AM, Adam Price has renewed his call | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
for parliament to impeach Mr Blair. Here's our parliamentary | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
correspondent, David Cornock. 14 young men from Wales who died | :07:09. | :07:20. | |
serving their country in your rock. After an invasion launched according | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
to the Chilcott report on the basis of flawed intelligence. We have | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
concluded that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
options for peaceful disarmament had been explored. Military action at | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
that time was not a last resort. Overall, more than 200 British | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
citizens died. The instability in the region led to 150,000 more | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
deaths. Among the dead, Lance Corporal Thomas Keys, a military | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
policeman killed four days before his 21st birthday. His father stood | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
for Parliament against Tony Blair and was among the families who | :08:04. | :08:15. | |
gathered today to read the report. The 200 deaths that happened the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
other day, and also the results of this report mean that my son died in | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
vain. Now we have had the backing of Sir John. Tony Blair said he took | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
responsibility, but insisted the British servicemen had not died in | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
vain. Calls for him to face justice are growing, even among senior | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Labour MPs. I think there should be serious consideration to him being | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
prosecuted for this. It wasn't clear there should be a case for war. Ten | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
years ago, Plaid Cymru's Adam Price try to impeach Tony Blair and to put | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
him on trial in Parliament. He says today's MPs should try a game. It is | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
only Parliament which is the highest court in the land which can do it. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
They need to do it. They must do it because actually they were guilty in | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
terms of the original decision. At the time, most MPs supported the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
invasion. Among them, Tony Blair's special envoy in human rights in | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
Iraq. We did it on the basis of the knowledge that we had. Iraq was in | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
breach of 17 UN resolutions in 2003. Saddam Hussein in 1988 already had | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
killed half a million of his own people. Today's Prime Minister | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
agreed that MPs that were acting on the knowledge in front of them. We | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
have to be frank, those of us who voted for this, that the | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
consequences of what followed have been truly very poor. Most people | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
may have made up their minds about the Iraq wore a long time ago, but | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
the strength of criticism in today's report makes it more likely that | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Tony Blair's components will now seek new ways to make him | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
accountable for a conflict that became his political legacy. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
A student has been cleared of a sex attack in Cardiff | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
after the prosecution offered no evidence. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
23-year-old Khalid Alahmadi had previously been accused of sexually | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
assaulting a young woman in September last year. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
He'd been due to face a retrial, after a jury failed to reach | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
a verdict in March - but following a hearing | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
at Cardiff Crown Court today - the case has been dropped. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Over the past year, the number of complaints made | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
against Welsh NHS bodies to the Public Services Ombudsman | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
has called for stronger leadership to 'turn the curve' of complaints. | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
The Welsh Government says overall patient satisfaction with the NHS | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
in Wales remains extremely high - and says any concerns should be | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
raised as soon as possible so they can be dealt with quickly. | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
We'll return to France in just a moment. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
First, let's get the weather forecast. | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
It is looking warm and humid over the next few days but not funny at | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
all times. Cloud around and also some patchy rain as well. We do have | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
that rain sneaking into parts, but for the bulk of the country, it is | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
dry and cloudy. We will see some mist and fog forming as well. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Temperatures not dropping too much overnight. 12 Celsius. Rather muggy | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
into the early hours of tomorrow morning. High-pressure nearby | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
tomorrow, and also this weaving frontal sinks south and eastwards, | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
bringing light rain and then it will push up back north into the early | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
hours of Friday morning, so tomorrow morning, it is a dry start for much | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
of Wales, but we do have the ring across parts of Anglesey and | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
gradually slowly but surely it will start to push its way south and | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
eastwards. Generally, it is a cloudy story for Thursday. For the rest of | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the British Isles, we do have the best of the drier and brighter | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
weather in northern parts of Ireland, Scotland, and also | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
south-east England. Here in Wales, we do have a cloudy picture, with | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
that rain making its way south and eastwards. I think something a | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
little bit drier and brighter for North Wales, especially for Wrexham. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
But we will hang on to the rain further south. Those amateurs | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
getting up to about 19 Celsius, and you will notice the south-westerly | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
winds. The rain will push southwards tomorrow and thanks to the weather | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
front it will push north-eastwards into the early hours of Friday | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
morning. It is another humid night. No lower than 12 Celsius. Winds will | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
be liked. As we head into Friday, that front will clear, and then | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
behind it, and other weather system will push and that will bring more | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
playing with it. Still feeling warm, but you will need to keep the | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
umbrella to hand. Thank you. We will return to Lyon now for the final | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
word tonight. Well, Lucy, no one predicted that Wales would be one | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
step away from the final of Euro 2016. They have come so far in such | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
a short space of time. The players have ensured that this summer will | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
be one that the fans will never forget. From all of us here in | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
France, thank you for your company. Good evening. | :13:15. | :13:25. |
