Tonight's headlines: 19-year-old Georgia Fairthorne wasn't wearing

:00:07.:00:09.

a helmet when she was seriously injured in a skateboarding accident.

:00:10.:00:12.

Now a leading charity urges young skateboarders and cyclists

:00:13.:00:14.

Head injury can affect people in terms of their behaviour, in terms

:00:15.:00:21.

of their emotional well-being and also, physically, people can be

:00:22.:00:26.

affected and be left with long-term disabilities.

:00:27.:00:44.

Also tonight, Anglesey teenager Amy Brooke is in hospital

:00:45.:00:47.

with spinal injuries after a tree branch fell

:00:48.:00:50.

on her at a National Trust site on the island.

:00:51.:00:58.

It only re-opened to visitors a few years ago but at the end

:00:59.:01:03.

of the summer St Catherine's Island is shutting once more.

:01:04.:01:08.

A successful few days for Welsh athletes in Rio.

:01:09.:01:12.

Owain Doull and Elinor Barker win Olympic Gold for Team GB -

:01:13.:01:17.

a moment their families will never forget.

:01:18.:01:21.

I was the happiest sister in the world

:01:22.:01:24.

but it came across as a lot of sobbing.

:01:25.:01:26.

The definite crybaby of the family and super proud of Owain

:01:27.:01:30.

Every three minutes, someone in the UK is admitted

:01:31.:01:42.

to hospital with a head injury and, according to a leading brain-injury

:01:43.:01:45.

charity here in Wales, many of those injuries

:01:46.:01:48.

Headway are calling for helmets to be compulsory for all children

:01:49.:01:53.

who are cycling and believe skateboarders would also benefit

:01:54.:01:57.

It comes as a mother from Pembrokeshire is campaigning

:01:58.:02:01.

for new helmet laws after a skateboard accident left her

:02:02.:02:04.

It's fast and fun but the thrills can so easily turn into spills

:02:05.:02:14.

and for skateboarders who have no protection for their head,

:02:15.:02:18.

there can be devastating consequences.

:02:19.:02:21.

That is what happened to 19-year-old Georgia Fairthorne.

:02:22.:02:24.

She fell off a skateboard in Pembrokeshire while playing

:02:25.:02:27.

with her brother and sister ten days ago.

:02:28.:02:30.

She is now recovering in hospital in Cardiff where for

:02:31.:02:33.

As a result her mother Emma has launched a social media campaign

:02:34.:02:38.

Take care of your kids and get them a helmet

:02:39.:02:46.

when they are on their scooters or their skateboards.

:02:47.:02:50.

Emma Fairthorne has also launched an online petition calling

:02:51.:02:56.

for the government to make the wearing of helmets compulsory.

:02:57.:03:01.

But within the skating community, there are mixed views.

:03:02.:03:05.

Guto Williams runs this popular store in Cardiff and is an advocate

:03:06.:03:08.

of safe skateboarding but he says there is resistance

:03:09.:03:11.

Believe it or not, head injuries are really rare in skateboarding.

:03:12.:03:17.

It's an action sport so it is quite dangerous but it is quite rare.

:03:18.:03:21.

That said, we strongly advise children and beginners

:03:22.:03:25.

The Headway charity at Rookwood Hospital in Cardiff

:03:26.:03:33.

helps people who have had brain injuries, some from accidents.

:03:34.:03:36.

They believe a sizeable proportion of those injuries could have been

:03:37.:03:40.

Every three minutes a person is admitted to hospital in the UK

:03:41.:03:45.

with a head injury and some are permanently brain-damaged.

:03:46.:03:49.

Head injury can affect people in terms of their behaviour,

:03:50.:03:52.

in terms of their emotional well-being and also, physically,

:03:53.:03:57.

people can be affected and be left with long-term disabilities.

:03:58.:04:02.

And that is just what happened to Jeff.

:04:03.:04:04.

He's now 41 but as a teenager he came off his skateboard

:04:05.:04:08.

He was in a coma for six weeks and has suffered brain injuries

:04:09.:04:14.

Obviously you are a keen advocate of helmets?

:04:15.:04:52.

But the message is not getting through.

:04:53.:04:55.

None of these teenagers at this skate park on this Cardiff Bay

:04:56.:04:58.

barrage were wearing helmets and they say they really do.

:04:59.:05:01.

The better you get, the more you learn to fall safely

:05:02.:05:03.

and the less likely you are to get a head injury.

:05:04.:05:06.

Nothing has happened around my head area ever.

:05:07.:05:11.

If something does go wrong, we know how to protect our body

:05:12.:05:15.

What do you think the others would say if one of you

:05:16.:05:22.

But as Georgia Fairthorne and Jeff know,

:05:23.:05:30.

With the number of head injuries on the increase,

:05:31.:05:35.

their families are determined to keep up the pressure

:05:36.:05:38.

A teenager has also been seriously injured after a tree branch snapped

:05:39.:05:44.

and hit her at a National Trust site on Anglesey.

:05:45.:05:47.

18-year-old Amy Brooke was hit while she was at

:05:48.:05:50.

Her family have been waiting to hear whether or not she'll

:05:51.:05:54.

Matthew Richards joins us now from Plas Newydd.

:05:55.:05:59.

The area where this happened is a Woodland park just on the other side

:06:00.:06:11.

of the property behind me. I think we can show you a picture of the

:06:12.:06:16.

branch which snapped and fell on top of Amy Brooke. She had only been at

:06:17.:06:20.

Plas Newydd for about 15 minutes with a friend and she suffered a

:06:21.:06:25.

number of injuries to her lower back and spinal area. She is being cared

:06:26.:06:31.

for locally and we understand she is in a comfortable condition. There

:06:32.:06:34.

was some discussion as to whether she should be transferred to a

:06:35.:06:39.

specialist hospital in Stoke. Plas Newydd is a large estate, very

:06:40.:06:43.

popular with tourists. It has been very popular today. Bidders on the

:06:44.:06:49.

banks of the Menai Strait. Earlier, I asked a member of the trust to

:06:50.:06:52.

explain what they think happened. From the investigations that have

:06:53.:06:55.

been carried out so far, we believe that it might be,

:06:56.:06:57.

and I stress it might be, a phenomenon known as summer drop,

:06:58.:07:00.

where a healthy tree for no apparent reason suddenly

:07:01.:07:02.

drops a major branch. But it's very early days so I can't

:07:03.:07:05.

confirm that is actually the case and we will do everything we can

:07:06.:07:08.

to get the bottom of this So the investigation is already

:07:09.:07:20.

underway? There have been a number of National Trust experts having a

:07:21.:07:23.

look at the trees on the site today. All the areas where the public would

:07:24.:07:29.

normally walk have been created as no entry areas today and that will

:07:30.:07:34.

remain the case until at least tomorrow when the Health and Safety

:07:35.:07:36.

Executive will be on site to assess any problems. Ordinarily, the

:07:37.:07:42.

National Trust say they carry out visual inspections of the trees to

:07:43.:07:45.

make sure there are no obvious problems. They have expressed their

:07:46.:07:50.

sympathies to Amy Brooke and her family. They will try and get to the

:07:51.:07:54.

bottom of what happened to make sure they can open the site in full and

:07:55.:07:56.

to make sure that everyone is safe. Well, it was an extraordinary

:07:57.:07:59.

weekend for Team GB at the Rio Olympics and Welsh

:08:00.:08:01.

athletes certainly had their part The number of medals won by Welsh

:08:02.:08:04.

athletes competing for Team GB could reach double

:08:05.:08:14.

figures, according to Welsh athletes have equalled

:08:15.:08:15.

the record haul of medals Seven in medals in total -

:08:16.:08:19.

five silvers, in the swimming, rowing, rugby sevens

:08:20.:08:24.

and in the velodrome. Welsh cyclists have also

:08:25.:08:27.

delivered two gold medals. The good news is there's another

:08:28.:08:30.

week to go, with taekwondo's Jade Jones and sailor

:08:31.:08:33.

Hannah Mills competing. Becky James is going

:08:34.:08:36.

for her second medal. Terrific, wasn't it? It all started

:08:37.:08:59.

on Friday with Owain Doull and Jaz Carlin. Two medals in a day. Surely

:09:00.:09:05.

it could not happen again. Well, it did. We are still some way of the

:09:06.:09:12.

four golds of Antwerp in 1920. That includes four golds in the relay at

:09:13.:09:15.

the athletics but already these games are considered to be up there

:09:16.:09:18.

with the best ever for Welsh athletes.

:09:19.:09:20.

Gold medal winners, Olympic champions and Welsh.

:09:21.:09:22.

Owain Doull and the Great Britain team pursuit team won

:09:23.:09:24.

in world record time and celebrations soon followed.

:09:25.:09:31.

Feeling a bit worse for wear today, I will be honest.

:09:32.:09:35.

I think it's the only thing to do after three or four years

:09:36.:09:40.

You did not get led astray by Sir Bradley Wiggins, did you?

:09:41.:09:45.

Whether that is on the bike or off the bike.

:09:46.:09:56.

When we caught up with Wales' second gold medallist

:09:57.:09:59.

and world record-holder yesterday, Elinor Barker,

:10:00.:10:02.

I only turned my phone on a few hours ago to see what

:10:03.:10:13.

Everybody seemed to know what was going on.

:10:14.:10:21.

It did not seem like this worldwide thing.

:10:22.:10:23.

Having grown up together in Cardiff, riding for the same club as kids,

:10:24.:10:27.

they became Olympic champions within 24 hours of each other.

:10:28.:10:31.

But they are based these days in Manchester.

:10:32.:10:34.

Most of the Welsh athletes in Team GB train across the border

:10:35.:10:37.

but sporting chiefs insist that Wales has had an important

:10:38.:10:41.

85% of the team have had support from the Institute and Sport Wales.

:10:42.:10:47.

Sports science, sport medicine, so they have come through club

:10:48.:10:51.

systems and the majority have come through in Wales,

:10:52.:10:55.

which is about great coaching, great facilities, it is about

:10:56.:10:58.

starting them young and helping them develop their talent.

:10:59.:11:02.

It is exactly what is happening here.

:11:03.:11:04.

A chance to try cycling at a very young age.

:11:05.:11:07.

These sessions in Maindy in Cardiff are organised by Welsh Cycling,

:11:08.:11:10.

Their old coach says that Lottery money has transformed the sport.

:11:11.:11:18.

It has made a massive difference since it came along in 1997,

:11:19.:11:21.

just for the riders to be able to be full-time.

:11:22.:11:24.

They don't have to work alongside training.

:11:25.:11:26.

They can do everything they need to do and that is why

:11:27.:11:30.

Back in Rio, Welsh cycling success continued.

:11:31.:11:38.

After spending a difficult two years dealing with injury and a cancer

:11:39.:11:42.

She could win another medal in the sprint tomorrow.

:11:43.:11:50.

It does not even feel real right now.

:11:51.:11:52.

I knew I was stuck at the back and I did not know

:11:53.:11:58.

I didn't want to be stuck on the outside so I left

:11:59.:12:03.

Spectators wore red dragons with pride.

:12:04.:12:08.

This medical volunteer from North Wales

:12:09.:12:11.

cheering Welsh competitors on between sets.

:12:12.:12:13.

As soon as you mention Wales, everyone says Gareth Bale.

:12:14.:12:16.

Hopefully they will now mention our athletes doing well

:12:17.:12:19.

Jazz Carlin has certainly been one name everyone is talking about.

:12:20.:12:27.

A second silver, this time in the 800 metre freestyle,

:12:28.:12:31.

putting her up with the greats of Welsh swimming.

:12:32.:12:35.

It took a lot for me to get back in the pool

:12:36.:12:38.

and a lot for me to find that drive again but I am glad.

:12:39.:12:42.

The Rio Games are already amongst the most successful ever for Welsh

:12:43.:12:48.

athletes and with plenty of medal prospects to come, they could well

:12:49.:12:52.

I mentioned Becky James there. She broke Victoria Pendleton's Olympic

:12:53.:13:07.

record in sprint qualifying yesterday and made it through to the

:13:08.:13:12.

last eight today. The final is tomorrow. And Cardiff sailor Hannah

:13:13.:13:17.

Mills and her partner continue to lead in their class. There could be

:13:18.:13:19.

another successful week to come. I'll have the rest of the day's

:13:20.:13:21.

sport later in the programme. Still to come on the programme

:13:22.:13:25.

before seven o'clock: It has been reopened to the public

:13:26.:13:41.

after being closed since 1978 but now developers say problems mean it

:13:42.:13:44.

will once more have to close its doors.

:13:45.:13:46.

The whole of Wales basking in sunshine.

:13:47.:13:49.

Even warmer tomorrow but how long will it last?

:13:50.:13:51.

The chance of a split in the Labour Party is greater now

:13:52.:13:58.

That's the view of a Welsh Labour supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, who sits

:13:59.:14:04.

It comes amid a row over which party members can vote in the leadership

:14:05.:14:10.

election between Mr Corbyn and Pontypridd MP Owen Smith.

:14:11.:14:14.

Our political correspondent Daniel Davies has been speaking

:14:15.:14:16.

to party members, starting in Newport.

:14:17.:14:24.

Which direction for Labour? These three young members in Newport told

:14:25.:14:31.

me why they hope Owen Smith can topple Jeremy Corbyn. They are both

:14:32.:14:36.

Labour members and for them to share the same view, it is expected

:14:37.:14:41.

almost. The difference is that Jeremy Corbyn will not win a general

:14:42.:14:48.

election and Owen Smith can. You can have a traditional Labour leader

:14:49.:14:52.

becoming the next Prime Minister or you can opt for Jeremy Ayre, but you

:14:53.:14:55.

are just surrendering to the Conservatives. I would say even got

:14:56.:15:01.

a good chance. I would say don't listen to the hype around Jeremy

:15:02.:15:06.

Corbyn. Whoever wins will have to sell the party to a wider electorate

:15:07.:15:10.

and while the two campaigns trade blows over who should get that job,

:15:11.:15:15.

this contest has provided brisk business for the lawyers. There has

:15:16.:15:20.

been a tussle in the courts over who should vote. Labour members who

:15:21.:15:23.

joined in the last six months will not take part. A decision by the

:15:24.:15:29.

party's National Executive Committee upheld in the Court of Appeal last

:15:30.:15:35.

week. Harriet rejoined Labour to back Jeremy Corbyn. She paid an

:15:36.:15:39.

extra ?25 to make sure she could vote for him and she says trying to

:15:40.:15:45.

groom the electorate for this contest will fuel his campaign. The

:15:46.:15:50.

party is trying really hard to stop the left developing and getting

:15:51.:15:54.

votes and Jeremy but they are doing the opposite because we see

:15:55.:15:57.

thousands of people across the country turning up to his rallies.

:15:58.:16:00.

He is now the antiestablishment candidate. One Jeremy Corbyn

:16:01.:16:07.

supporter on the party's committee dismisses claims the far left is

:16:08.:16:11.

trying to infiltrate Labour. The idea that any significant proportion

:16:12.:16:16.

of the 300,000 members comes from any number of the tiny far left

:16:17.:16:20.

sects that we are talking about is ludicrous. And on the chance of

:16:21.:16:26.

labour splitting? There is more chance of us splitting now than

:16:27.:16:29.

there has been at any time in the recent past. I hope that can be

:16:30.:16:34.

avoided. I think whatever the outcome a few people will leave the

:16:35.:16:37.

party but I hope those figures will remain small. Owen Smith today

:16:38.:16:45.

attacked what he calls Tory plans to privatise in England. He says labour

:16:46.:16:48.

is heading for a crushing defeat if it does not change course. But the

:16:49.:16:54.

Jeremy Corbyn can claim today it has the overwhelming support of local

:16:55.:16:59.

constituency Labour parties. The result for this second Labour

:17:00.:17:02.

leadership election in as many years will be announced on the 24th of

:17:03.:17:04.

September. The recovery of an RAF helicopter

:17:05.:17:05.

which burst into flames in Snowdonia A chinook helicopter from RAF Odiham

:17:06.:17:09.

in Hampshire has been sent to move The training aircraft caught fire

:17:10.:17:14.

shortly after making an emergency All five people on board

:17:15.:17:18.

escaped unharmed. Figures suggest the number

:17:19.:17:23.

of shoppers in Wales has reached its highest level

:17:24.:17:26.

since June 2013. The figures from the British Retail

:17:27.:17:29.

Consortium show footfall was up by 1.7% here last month,

:17:30.:17:32.

with Wales outperforming But there's also been a small rise

:17:33.:17:36.

in the number of empty shops, We have seen some positive news

:17:37.:17:41.

from the footfall figures for the last three months

:17:42.:17:47.

and that is great news for consumers, great news for stores

:17:48.:17:50.

and great news for the 135,000 people who are employed

:17:51.:17:53.

in the retail sector. While that is positive,

:17:54.:17:56.

and we have a cautious optimism going forward,

:17:57.:17:59.

there is the downside at the moment where we are seeing an increase

:18:00.:18:02.

in the number of vacant premises. A multi-million pound Army drone

:18:03.:18:07.

was scrapped after it crashed at Aberporth Airfield in Ceredigion,

:18:08.:18:10.

according to a de-classified report. The 70 stone unmanned and unarmed

:18:11.:18:13.

air vehicle crashed during a test It was part of the Army's

:18:14.:18:16.

billion pounds Watchkeeper It only re-opened recently

:18:17.:18:23.

but St Catherine's Island near Tenby is to close at the end

:18:24.:18:30.

of this month. The island fort, opened as a tourist

:18:31.:18:33.

attraction last year after being shut since the 1970s

:18:34.:18:36.

but developing it further has become Abigail Neal is there

:18:37.:18:40.

for us tonight. It is a beautiful evening here in

:18:41.:18:57.

Tenby tonight but this scene really does illustrate one of the problems

:18:58.:19:02.

of developing St Catherine's Island as a tourist attraction. Namely, you

:19:03.:19:09.

are beholden to the tide. Those behind this venture had been

:19:10.:19:13.

planning to build some jetties so that you could arrive by boat but in

:19:14.:19:18.

the end they thought, because of circumstances, it was all grooving

:19:19.:19:21.

to costly. It is not just the glorious sunshine

:19:22.:19:27.

which set the scene. A backdrop like St Catherine's Island, enticing

:19:28.:19:33.

Tenby's villagers to explore. The island and its Napoleonic fort had

:19:34.:19:37.

been close to the public since 1978 but recently moves were made to

:19:38.:19:43.

regenerate this landmark. Last year, it was opened up for guided tours

:19:44.:19:48.

and, after a long road through planning, the idea to develop it as

:19:49.:19:51.

a tourist attraction was given approval. The developers had been

:19:52.:19:56.

looking to do more work here with a nature trail around the island,

:19:57.:19:59.

jetties to make it more accessible by boat and even an outdoor cafe up

:20:00.:20:06.

on the roof. But in the end of the restrictions involved made it

:20:07.:20:10.

financially unviable. Visitor numbers have been steady but not as

:20:11.:20:14.

high as had hoped and at the end of this month the doors will close once

:20:15.:20:22.

again. It will be a shame to lose it. Over 35 years I have been coming

:20:23.:20:28.

to Tenby and it is something I have been looking forward to be able to

:20:29.:20:32.

visit and it is really sad that it is due to close. Many are not too

:20:33.:20:37.

worried about the loss of this one attraction. After all, Tenby still

:20:38.:20:42.

has lots to offer. And some are optimistic this will not be the end.

:20:43.:20:47.

Hopefully there will be developers that can take it on and there are a

:20:48.:20:50.

number of other attractions that operate very successfully in the

:20:51.:20:56.

area. It may have been built for soldiers in the 19th century but the

:20:57.:21:01.

fort has had many uses since then. Although now it's next chapter looks

:21:02.:21:02.

uncertain. Inside, the fort has not changed

:21:03.:21:13.

much since it was first built in 1870 but it has had various

:21:14.:21:16.

incarnations over the years, including most bizarrely as a zoo at

:21:17.:21:21.

one point. But come September, St Catherine's Island will go back once

:21:22.:21:24.

again to being cut off and inaccessible.

:21:25.:21:26.

Let's get the rest of the day's sport now with Tomos.

:21:27.:21:29.

First to football, and Arsenal have confirmed the Wales midfielder

:21:30.:21:33.

Aaron Ramsey has a hamstring injury and is being assessed by the club.

:21:34.:21:36.

In exactly three weeks, Wales will start their World Cup

:21:37.:21:38.

qualifying campaign against Moldova at the Cardiff City Stadium.

:21:39.:21:43.
