Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines -

:00:00.:00:00.

The new Prime Minister Theresa May makes her first

:00:00.:00:08.

She says she wants the Welsh Government to be

:00:09.:00:11.

"involved and engaged" in Brexit talks.

:00:12.:00:14.

And half of Welsh universities have seen an increase in the number

:00:15.:00:17.

of plagiarism cases being investigated.

:00:18.:00:20.

The Prime Minister says the Welsh Government will be

:00:21.:00:41.

involved in the Brexit negotiations with the EU,

:00:42.:00:43.

after meeting with the First Minister in Cardiff Bay earlier.

:00:44.:00:47.

Theresa May, who was on her first visit to Wales since becoming

:00:48.:00:50.

the new Tory leader, recognised there were worries

:00:51.:00:53.

Here's our political editor, Nick Servini.

:00:54.:00:59.

There is still a fog of confusion surrounding Brexit

:01:00.:01:02.

in Cardiff Bay like just about everywhere else.

:01:03.:01:04.

Could any clarity be brought to the situation

:01:05.:01:08.

by the arrival of the new Prime Minister Theresa May?

:01:09.:01:11.

One of her first pledges last week was to keep the UK together.

:01:12.:01:16.

She's already been to Scotland and today was the turn of Wales.

:01:17.:01:21.

Standing to attention, these are important shots for both

:01:22.:01:24.

The Prime Minister wants to show she cares about all corners of

:01:25.:01:29.

The First Minister wants to show he has influence with the woman

:01:30.:01:34.

who'll be heading the heading up the negotiations.

:01:35.:01:37.

I want the Welsh Government to be involved and

:01:38.:01:39.

engaged in the discussions we are having, along with other

:01:40.:01:43.

That is why I am here today and we must get the best

:01:44.:01:48.

I recognise there is concern about the

:01:49.:01:51.

While we're members of the European Union,

:01:52.:01:53.

The rhetoric has been warming up over the EU but today,

:01:54.:01:58.

on the hottest day of the year,

:01:59.:01:59.

the First Minister kept the pressure on leading Leave

:02:00.:02:02.

campaigners to ensure Wales does not lose out financially.

:02:03.:02:06.

The people around the table were not those who supported

:02:07.:02:09.

Leave to begin with, didn't make the promise.

:02:10.:02:11.

But there are those in government like Boris Johnson and

:02:12.:02:13.

David Davis, who were saying do not worry about leaving the EU,

:02:14.:02:17.

every single penny the EU provides will be provided

:02:18.:02:20.

Let's see if they can keep that promise.

:02:21.:02:23.

Theresa May and Carwyn Jones are well apart

:02:24.:02:26.

politically but they have one big thing in common, both wanted to

:02:27.:02:30.

remain in the EU and both now have to deal with the

:02:31.:02:33.

consequences, good or bad, of leaving.

:02:34.:02:35.

This is important because the terms of those

:02:36.:02:39.

Brexit negotiations will play a central role in how

:02:40.:02:43.

their particular relationship plays out in future.

:02:44.:02:45.

One prominent Brexit campaigner at the Royal Welsh,

:02:46.:02:49.

Ukip's Neil Hamilton says there should not be any further

:02:50.:02:52.

obstacles and he is keen to plough on with the talks.

:02:53.:02:57.

Wales has a great future outside the EU

:02:58.:03:01.

but we have got to make sure we make the best of it and that the money

:03:02.:03:05.

which we sent to Brussels and they spend here

:03:06.:03:07.

Plaid Cymru want to go in a different direction, with the

:03:08.:03:12.

First Minister taking a stronger role before the UK

:03:13.:03:16.

He has to be much more proactive in going to

:03:17.:03:21.

London and negotiating there but also there is no reason

:03:22.:03:25.

why he and his officials should not be in

:03:26.:03:27.

Brussels either, speaking very strongly for the Welsh needs.

:03:28.:03:30.

Now is the calm before the storm, ahead

:03:31.:03:33.

Theresa May told the meeting it will be difficult for them to start

:03:34.:03:38.

So it may not be until 2017 when the heat will really intensify.

:03:39.:03:48.

A woman, whose body was found at a house in Gwynedd,

:03:49.:03:50.

has been named locally as Emma Louise Williams.

:03:51.:03:52.

Police are treating her death as suspicious.

:03:53.:03:55.

Detectives were called to the property in

:03:56.:03:57.

The street and a lane have been cordoned off and a major incident

:03:58.:04:02.

Nominations for the Labour leadership have opened tonight

:04:03.:04:07.

and Pontypridd MP, Owen Smith, is hoping his name will end up

:04:08.:04:10.

Earlier, he and fellow contender, Angela Eagle

:04:11.:04:15.

took part in a hustings for Labour MPs.

:04:16.:04:18.

They're challenging Jeremy Corbyn for the role.

:04:19.:04:22.

A mother from the Rhondda, who admitted cruelty

:04:23.:04:24.

to her 17-month-old son, has been sentenced to

:04:25.:04:27.

Chloe Thomas's son Finlay died after suffering "catastrophic

:04:28.:04:32.

injuries" at his home near Tonypandy.

:04:33.:04:34.

Last month, her boyfriend Sean Buckley, received a life

:04:35.:04:38.

We know the safeguarding board will do a detailed case review

:04:39.:04:44.

and lessons will be learned so that no other children have to suffer

:04:45.:04:47.

But what we do know is that babies are more vulnerable to abuse

:04:48.:04:53.

and neglect not being reported because they are seen by very few

:04:54.:04:56.

professionals, probably only the health visitor and the GP.

:04:57.:05:00.

So what we would like to see is more detailed support, more comprehensive

:05:01.:05:05.

support to parents in those first few months and years

:05:06.:05:08.

Half of Welsh universities have seen an increase

:05:09.:05:14.

in the number of plagiarism cases being investigated,

:05:15.:05:16.

according to figures obtained by this programme.

:05:17.:05:19.

It's believed websites offering students academic essays

:05:20.:05:22.

in return for a fee are contributing to the rise.

:05:23.:05:24.

Graduation, the pinnacle of at least three years' of hard work.

:05:25.:05:33.

The journey to this point comes with many challenges.

:05:34.:05:36.

Workload pressures can lead individuals to fall foul

:05:37.:05:39.

of academic regulations, or even take risks with their work.

:05:40.:05:43.

Plagiarism is the most common form of academic misconduct.

:05:44.:05:46.

It can range from poor referencing to having an assignment

:05:47.:05:50.

Figures obtained by this programme show that between 2010 and 2015,

:05:51.:05:57.

undergraduate plagiarism cases investigated at Swansea,

:05:58.:06:00.

Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Cardiff Metropolitan Universities

:06:01.:06:04.

The number of postgraduate cases at Swansea, Aberystwyth

:06:05.:06:09.

Improvements in technology, rising student numbers,

:06:10.:06:14.

and higher tuition fees are some of the reasons behind the increase.

:06:15.:06:18.

But there are more serious factors at work.

:06:19.:06:20.

We are always going to have naive students, we are always

:06:21.:06:23.

going to have students with various personal issues, and we are always

:06:24.:06:28.

I think what is of more concern is the sheer availability of bespoke

:06:29.:06:34.

It is estimated there could be around 1000 websites offering

:06:35.:06:39.

bespoke essays in return for a fee and whilst this practice is not

:06:40.:06:43.

illegal, to submit work written by somebody else is to commit

:06:44.:06:47.

It is understood many companies are targeting students on social

:06:48.:06:55.

The vast majority choose to ignore them and say it is never

:06:56.:07:00.

You could get kicked out of university.

:07:01.:07:04.

It is not a chance you want to take really.

:07:05.:07:06.

It seems they are not really doing it to help anyone,

:07:07.:07:10.

I don't know anybody who has done it, but I guess it still happens.

:07:11.:07:15.

It is thought the growing number of essay mills pose a serious threat

:07:16.:07:18.

They do totally undermine degrees because students are giving

:07:19.:07:22.

an inaccurate account of their knowledge and skills.

:07:23.:07:28.

If they are presenting work which is not their own,

:07:29.:07:32.

it is undermining the fairness of the assessment process

:07:33.:07:37.

and calls into question their qualification.

:07:38.:07:40.

Universities in Wales say breaches of academic regulations are treated

:07:41.:07:44.

seriously and students are given guidance throughout their studies.

:07:45.:07:49.

Onto football and Wales manager Chris Coleman is to be offered

:07:50.:07:53.

the freedom of his home city, Swansea.

:07:54.:07:55.

The 46-year-old led Wales to their first major

:07:56.:07:57.

when they reached Euro 2016 in France.

:07:58.:08:02.

They made it to their first semifinal before losing

:08:03.:08:05.

Time for a look at the weather, Sue's here.

:08:06.:08:11.

And after a hot day are those temperatures are still rising?

:08:12.:08:20.

Today was the hottest day of the year so far. Tomorrow is going to be

:08:21.:08:27.

hotter still. Still with plenty of sunny spells. Let's take a look at

:08:28.:08:29.

the map. Overnight muggy with

:08:30.:08:30.

mainly clear skies. The odd mist or fog patch

:08:31.:08:32.

especially along the coast. Temperatures holding up

:08:33.:08:34.

in the mid to high teens and quite stifling

:08:35.:08:36.

for some overnight. Tomorrow's chart shows high

:08:37.:08:38.

pressure over the Continent. A cold front to the west of Ireland

:08:39.:08:40.

with a plume of hot air from Spain and France moving

:08:41.:08:43.

north across the UK. Tomorrow, any early mist

:08:44.:08:45.

will burn back to the coast and then we'll see another dry day

:08:46.:08:49.

of clear blue skies and sunshine. High pressure keeping things fine

:08:50.:08:52.

and settled everywhere, maybe just a little fog

:08:53.:08:56.

lingering along some coasts with the difference in air

:08:57.:08:59.

and sea temperature. And hotter everywhere,

:09:00.:09:01.

into the low 20s across the north of Scotland,

:09:02.:09:04.

low 30s in the south of England. And across Wales tomorrow afternoon

:09:05.:09:07.

it's even hotter than today. Very light winds, a little

:09:08.:09:10.

hazier further south later in the afternoon and high

:09:11.:09:12.

pollen levels as well. Tomorrow night, cloud

:09:13.:09:15.

will spread from the south. Another warm, humid night

:09:16.:09:18.

with a risk of thunder showers developing especially further

:09:19.:09:21.

north and west you are. And there's a Met Office

:09:22.:09:24.

warning in place for a risk of those overnight,

:09:25.:09:27.

torrential downpours are possible but

:09:28.:09:28.

they're hit and miss. On Wednesday, any thunder showers

:09:29.:09:30.

in the north should clear followed by a drier

:09:31.:09:33.

day, sunny spells. Temperatures lower but still

:09:34.:09:36.

warm and humid. Thursday's cooler and fresher

:09:37.:09:37.

with a mixture of sunny spells From everyone on the

:09:38.:09:41.

late team, goodnight.
