Police and the Ministry of Defence are investigating,

after a soldier died following a training march in Brecon.

26 year old Corporal Joshua Hoole had just completed the 8 mile route

His death comes three years after three soldiers died during

an SAS selection exercise in the Brecon Beacons,

Our reporter, Caroline Evans is in Brecon for us

Thank you, as the news emerged mind inevitably turned to the tragedy

when the three soldiers died in the heat when out on exercise but the

Ministry of Defence say the circumstances here are very

different. 26, and planning to get married next year, corporal Joshua

Hoole came here for a promotion, the position of platoon Sergeant. This

is a key training facility and he was on the second day of his course.

He had been out training collapsed when he got back. Ambulances were

called just before nine a.m.. My heart and all of those in the Army

go out to the family of the soldier who died yesterday. We don't yet

know the circumstances. Or indeed the reasons why he did. What I can

confirm it was not an special forces selection, this was training for a

career course to become a Sergeant. Soldiers train around Brecon Beacons

all year, these shots were taken on Monday. But with yesterday being the

hottest day of the year so far questions have been asked about

whether the Army has learned from the deaths of three soldiers in 2013

whilst doing the SAS selection course. If they had not learned of

them quite honestly that is totally and utterly unforgivable. I have

spoken to the clerics of the Defence Select Committee today. -- the

clerks. We want to make sure that there is no hiding behind, oh, we

cannot complete enquiries, we still investigating. It was an annual

fitness test when soldiers have to carry 25 kilos around the local

roads. They are expected to complete it in under two hours but the

Ministry of Defence say that also do it in the infantry do this and it is

not meant to be taxing. A spokesman said the officer in charge would

have checked the conditions and the temperature. It was 17 Celsius when

they started, 21 or 22 when they got back. The Army is important to

Brecon and the news has been received with real sadness. The Army

have been taken to the hearts of the people here and the economy. So it

is vitally important that they carry on. In Scotland the family of

Corporal Joshua Hoole say they want answers. Defence Minister Harriet

Baldwin has promised the Ministry of Defence will undertake a full

investigation. In a statement the MoD has said that it has looked at

how training is done following previous deaths including the three

soldiers who died on that SAS selection training in 2013. They say

that where practicable every recommendation and report has been

implemented to ensure that training is as safe as possible. Tonight, the

widow of one of the three men has sent her condolences to the family

in Scotland and said that she hopes all enquiries will be carried out

promptly and with total transparency.

An investigation's been launched and a member of staff suspended

after a child was left alone on a minibus outside

The charity that runs the nursery, Mudiad Meithrin, said the child

was left on the bus outside Camau Bach in Aberystwyth for more

The incident has been referred to the Care and Social Services.

This is a flagship nursery for a charity but yesterday, the hottest

day of the year, saw one of their staff leave a child alone on a

minibus. The member of staff responsible was immediately

suspended from work. It is believed that the young boy was meant to

spend half a day at a local Welsh speaking primary school and the

other half at the nursery. It was the journey between both were things

went wrong. I have spoken to parents of children at business we who do

not want to appear on camera but told me that it was only noticed the

young boy was still inside the minibus when the parents arrived at

Kinloch, it -- when the parents arrived, he was said to be very

distressed. Imagine it was my own children, you leave children with

people you trust, and they are left on a boss like that, it is terrible.

Surely there should have been a headcount, if it happened to one of

my children I would be appalled. To leave the kid in a carer's

responsibility and for them to leave him on a bus during a heatwave, I

find it disgusting. Debbie is from the NSPCC and warns of the dangers

of leaving children at any age unattended in hot weather. When left

alone in a vehicle children and young people can quickly become

anxious and distressed. Especially in high temperatures that we have

had in the last couple of days. There are some really clear dangers

of doing that. We would always advise parents and carers never to

leave children and toddlers. The incident has been referred to the

care and social services Inspectorate and the council

safeguarding board. The nursery will be close for one week to allow the

investigation to take place. A young mother from Gwynedd,

whose death is being investigated by police, has been described

by her family as "the best mother" was discovered in the garden

of her home in Penygroes A man has been arrested on suspicion

of murder and a woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice

and assisting an offender. Labour leadership candidate

Owen Smith says his rival Jeremy Corbyn has not done enough

to deal with online abuse given death threats,

and women MPs have suffered Mr Corbyn says he's consistently

condemned all abuse and called for 'a kindler,

gentler politics'. Nominations

for the leadership have now closed - meaning the contest

is a two horse race. Here's our political

reporter Paul Martin. In position behind his leader. But

Owen Smith wants to swap places with Jeremy Corbyn come September. And as

the leadership contest formally gets under way he has accused Jeremy

Corbyn of failing to deal with online abuse of Labour MPs. As well

as anti-Semitism and misogyny MPs have reported regularly being called

liars, traitors, and Furman. I was subject to death threat yesterday

and social media. Some of the women in the Labour Party, some of our

great, brave labour women have been subject to appalling abuse,

absolutely disgraceful and outrageous abuse online, and it is

utterly unacceptable. Jeremy should have stamped on the sale or harder.

Some people think he has even encouraged it. I don't know that but

I do know it has to be stamped out. A spokesperson for Mr Corbyn says he

has consistently condemned abuse. This was his response when speaking

ten days ago. Nobody does a vile abuse in my name with my approval

and support. I absolutely and totally condemn it in every way. But

many MPs feel that much of the recent abuse is coming from his

supporters. I have received a number of serious threats from a range of

sources from the far right, Islamist extremist, but also the left, and

the majority of what I would say is the lower level of usage recently

has come from the left. But one senior Jeremy Corbyn supporter said

that the suggestion the abuses coming mainly from his supporters is

a concerted tactic being used by his opponents. Becky joined Labour last

month in support of Jeremy Corbyn. She told me that whilst racism,

misogyny, and direct personal abuse is unacceptable, MPs should accept

they will face strong opinions. The problem is definitely not unique to

the left. It is Internet wide. It is a problem with wife in general. I

was a waitress for 15 years and dealt with abuse day in day out. You

just need a thick skin, I had one for the minimum wage, I'm sure they

can do so for the ?80,000 per year they are receiving. Threats of death

and violence can come from anywhere on the political spectrum, but there

is a variety regarding the leadership contest. One MP said that

one thing can feed the other people with extreme views can feel

emboldened to make threats because of the atmosphere created social

media by so many messages of personal abuse. There are calls on

both sides for a clean campaign this summer but some fear the leadership

battle may be a catalyst for more personal abuse.

Bovine TB is the "single biggest problem" facing animal health

That's according to Wales' Chief Vet.

Professor Christianne Glossop has been defending the Welsh

Government's record on fighting the disease, after farming leaders

at the Royal Welsh Show renewed calls for a badger cull.

Our Environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger is there.

We are in the cattle shed where one of the challenges of this you's show

has been keeping the animals cool in the hot weather. But the biggest

challenge across the country according to the chief vet, is

bovine TB. And working out how best to tackle it is a huge issue. It is

a curse lurking in our countryside. Gareth's farm has been hit by TB

many times in recent years, it has meant moving his cattle whilst some

have been taken away and killed. I regularly hear of herds that have

20, 30, 40, 50 cows going down. Even 100 or more. One neighbour of ours

had 300 and lost 100 last year. At the Royal Welsh Show farming leaders

say the Welsh Government must get a grip on the situation. They claim

Wales could struggle to export meat after Brexit if we do not achieve

TB-free status. Last year and eradication scheme was launched,

since then there has been a 37% fall in outbreaks but the number of

cattle being put down is increasing. Almost 9000 in the

cattle being put down is increasing. Almost 9000 in year leading up to

April, a rise in the previous year. In my job not a day has gone by when

In my job not a day has gone by when I have not been focusing on

TB, it is the single because problem we have when dealing with animal

welfare. -- single guest. We are reading deeper into the farms that

have TB and as a result we are taking more animals right now. But

what about badgers? They also get TB and can spread it to cattle. A

global shortage of the TB jab has meant a vaccination programme in

Pembrokeshire has been put on hold. Farming unions say it should be

scrapped altogether, they want to see badger cull allowed in Wales

like in England and Northern Ireland. We need a national

programme of TB management here in Wales to ensure we don't face any

risk at all on our trade negotiations down-the-line. The

rural affairs Secretary said she recognised the issue is of great

concern to farmers and promised an update on future plans to tackle TB

by the autumn. Back on his farm Gareth is far from hopeful. The

enthusiasm that we seem to see from the Welsh Government is poor. It is

too much of a political hot potato. It is decimating the Welsh

countryside. The chief vet says her team are watching the badger cull

and other parts of the UK closely to see if there are any benefits.

Changing practices and continued testing, she says, are also key. It

is a complicated picture causing real distress in the rule Wales.

A seminar is being held on the showground this evening for farmers

to be presented with the very latest evidence around bovine TB from the

chief vet. It is hard to overstate the level of concern, along with

Brexit it has dominated discussion at the show.

We've been underground to take an exclusive

look at the electrified track being installed in the roof

And these young farmers are just starting out in the industry.

We'll hear about the challenges they say they face.

The editor-in-chief of Wales Online has said he is "absolutely"

Paul Rowland was speaking after sister title, the Daily Post,

It was a move that was attacked by politicians -

But Mr Rowland says his own publications are committed

He's been speaking to our Arts and Media correspondent, Huw Thomas.

This is the newsroom that feeds one of the fastest-growing websites in

Britain. Wales online gets almost 1.5 million visitors per week but

for the news industry there is a struggle to make money in a digital

world. That has forced cutbacks elsewhere. The daily post made its

Senedd reporter redundant. Paul Rowland says his own reporter at the

Senedd will be staying and that the press should not be blamed when

politicians failed to get their message across. There is a much

bigger issue around Wales regard to covering the little process properly

beyond just sending a reporter, there's a bigger regards engaging

the public in politics, and using the media as a scapegoat only gets

us so far. In recent years politicians haven't looked on as

some newspapers have closed completely while others cut back.

Fewer reporters in the Senedd house meant less scrutiny of Welsh affairs

leading some to believe voters are uninformed about decisions affecting

their lives. There is a fundamental democratic deficit in Wales, that is

why we must look at creating indigenous media in Wales so that we

can provide the nation people need about their everyday life will stop

look at Scotland, and how there have been successful in doing that. And

other parts of Europe also. So that we can try to get to grips with the

situation. Industry observers say it needs help at a time when headlines

really matter. One of the main points about having news reporters

on the ground is that you actually need a certain base of qualified,

experienced reporters, to do the work and scrutiny. More than ever we

now need to be better informed. We are seeing major changes in Wales

and in the UK with Brexit. Paul Rowland says politics stories are

sometimes the most popular articles on Wales online, but often they are

not and lifestyle pieces about restaurants and nostalgia are still

a big draw for readers to a site where every click counts.

Unemployment in Wales has dropped to its lowest level in a decade.

The latest figures for March to May show 4.6%

of people were out of work - 30,000

The unemployment rate here has fallen faster than any other UK

region over the year - and compares to 4.9%

The Severn Tunnel has become the first in the UK

to have a special version of electrified track

The Swiss made device is so advanced, Network Rail have

set up their own engineering course at a college in Nantgarw -

The tunnel will close in September for six weeks,

to allow more work on electrifying the line.

Jordan Davies had exclusive access, to take a look.

It may not be obvious but this century-old tunnel has had a bit of

a makeover. They had originally planned to remove four tonnes of

soot but ended up moving 40. It was to prepare for this overhead system,

tailored to the tunnel. It will carry power to an electrified

trains. The shiny new device is in stark contrast to the dark, damp

Severn Tunnel surrounding it. It is made mainly out of high-grade

stainless steel to reduce the effect of corrosion on the system. It is

designed to be low maintenance so that the people who maintain the

railway do not need to spend too much time maintaining it. You

excited to see go up? Very excited. And this is how it looks in the

light. Swiss made, it is so advanced that contractors have had to go

through a bespoke course. They are trained to a standard rarely seen in

Britain. And it could be a growth area for the college. I have already

started discussions within the college whether or not in the next

year or two we could consider expanding. If the growth continues

at the speed it is then I can see us having to put on an extension in the

future. Some of those training are former miners, said to have a

natural aptitude for this kind of engineering. It has got to be done

the right sequence. Obviously done right, done perfect, and first time,

so you don't have to go back on it. It has got to be done right the

first time. I'm sure our boys will be up to it. Back in the tunnel,

intense work has been carried out to prepare for the rest of the new

track. This machine has been specially designed to drill holes in

the roof of the Severn Tunnel, they will eventually bring the power to

the electrified trains. This tunnel will be completely closed for six

weeks insert timber to finish the work. Trains will be diverted. This

is just one part of the electrification jigsaw, a mammoth

Wojciech already exceeding its original deadline and budget. --

mammoth project. But it is one that will improve connectivity across the

border. Let's return to the Royal Welsh Show

and Teleri Glyn Jones, I am on the balcony was a great view

of the tug-of-war competition behind me, it has been going on all

afternoon, it has been heaving around here since lunchtime.

Young Farmers Cymru is 80 years old this year -

it's been getting young people into the industry since

There are calls today for more to be done to help those traditionally

from farming backgrounds to get into the industry. If this young farmers

tug-of-war competition is anything to go by, the future of Welsh

farming is in safe hands. Getting a foothold in the industry is not

always a young man's game. This man has helped on a family friend's farm

since being at school, a ScottishPower apprentice at the

moment, he dreams of getting into the tree himself. I have wanted to

be a farmer since I was young. But without a farming background I

struggle to get into it, to do so you need a lot of money or a loan,

partnerships, there are different ways, but it is a real job just to

get started. Here the Scarlets giving a helping hand to promote the

industry and encourage the next-generation Internet. Avian Jews

says the Welsh Government should encourage all the farmers to retire

by paying them a pension as the Irish government did some years ago.

There has been too much emphasis on the youngsters coming in and not

enough on the older generation coming out. We want to make it as

simple as possible for the older generation to retire with dignity

and for the youngsters to come in with enthusiasm. But there is more

than one way to reinvigorate the industry and an increasingly popular

option is share farming. According to young farmers young people have

the energy and skills to be good farmers. The older generation

perhaps don't have the strength any longer to run an efficient farms

needed now in the modern industry. But they have the land and the

infrastructure. The new entrant, as such, they have the energy, the

skill, and the power to move the farm on and to take it on to being

an efficient farm. The Welsh Government say that developing the

next generation and creating opportunities for those not

traditionally from farming at grounds is a top priority, securing

the sustainability of the industry depends on it. It has been a lovely

day here, not as hot as yesterday but still warm and dry. Will it last

until the final day of the show tomorrow? Here is the forecast.

Temperatures today lower than yesterday. Only 21 in parts, but

still very warm elsewhere, up to 27 Celsius, 81 Fahrenheit. The heat and

humidity led to thunderstorms in parts of it, North, and West Wales

earlier today. This picture of lightning taken by a viewer, another

of lightning over Snowdonia. We are not expecting any thunderstorms

tonight. It will be dry and partly cloudy. Clear spells. A more

comfortable night for sleeping. Last night it did not drop below 21 in

Cardiff, but cool and fresh everywhere tonight. Here is the

picture for eight a.m.. Much of the country dry. A bright in places,

sunshine in the north and east. As we had further south and west, more

cloud. One or two showers. The wind is light and feels quite fresh.

During the day a few showers will spread north-eastward. Hit and miss

but if you catch one it could be heavy. Saying that, a lots of places

will remain dry. Sunshine and pleasantly warm, top temperatures

19-21dC with a light to moderate breeze. Most places dry but with

showers dotted around light in the night. On Friday, dry and bright

weather and sunshine, scattered showers, heavy in places and I would

not rural out thunder. It will feel warm with light winds. A ridge of

high pressures of us with a front approaching Ireland, at the moment

Saturday looks the best day of the weekend, most of the day is dry,

sunshine, although on Sunday there is the risk of rain, which may be

heavy. Our main news again: police and the
