hearings. We will be asking if it is just bad luck to lose three or we

doing something wrong? Welcome to Wales Today.

Our top stories: Cardiff hosts a key night for Labour

- the first head to head debate between leader Jeremy Corbyn

and contender, One of the country's top water

companies denies claims that it's responsible for dried out

springs and sinking land. And the nursery being investigated

after a little boy was left unaccompanied on a minibus

for two hours has reopened. In the first Labour

leadership husting hosted in Cardiff, the party

leader Jeremy Corbyn and his only contender,

the Pontypridd MP, Owen Smith, debated how Wales should be funded

and what Brexit means for us here. The two clashed over the unity

of the Labour party. Our political reporter, Cemlyn

Davies, watched the exchanges. There was a warm welcome

for Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith as they took to the stage in Cardiff

for their first leadership hustings. The initial exchanges centred

on a lack of unity within Labour and the party's electoral

performance under Mr It's a disgrace we've got UKIP

in our national assembly here in Wales on your watch,

on our watch. We did defeat the Tories

in the May elections. I wish it had been by more,

but we were ahead of them at the end of it and the party is growing

massively in membership. The discussion then turned

to the EU referendum result. Jeremy Corbyn's committment

to the Remain campaign has been questioned by some,

but tonight he saw an opportunity My constituency voted 73% to Remain,

constituencies in the valleys and other places voted

quite strongly to Leave. They did and the reason they did

that was because there has been under investment

in those communities. And then to finish, a discussion

about Wales as both candidates were asked how they would re-engage

with Welsh voters. Not punishing the people of Wales

by underfunding the government the government of Wales,

which is what this government is doing and also ensuring

that the infrastructure investment that's been lost through

the European Union or potentially lost is replaced by the UK

government so that we do get the south-east Wales metro

and I would also like to see By having a Labour government

in Westminster to work with our brilliant Labour

government here in Wales. Let's invest in the NHS in Wales

through increasing the budget The secret to doing all that,

my friends, is a Labour government in Westminster to work

with our comrades here in Wales. This is a very fiery

first debate between The audience here also

played its part and it'll be down to Labour's members,

including those here tonight, The winner will be announced

on 24th September. The family of a four year-old boy

who died in a house fire can begin planning his funeral,

after a hearing into his death was opened and adjourned

at Swansea Coroners Court. Jac Davies died following the blaze

at his family's home A preinquest into his death

will be held in January. The UK government has welcomed

a move by the EU to impose tariffs on a steel product

from China and Russia. Cold rolled steel - which is used

in white goods and cars - is also produced at TATA's plant

in Port Talbot. Many observers have blamed

the dumping of cheaper imports for the difficulties the UK steel

industry has been experiencing. The latest radio listening

figures show that audiences for BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru

have reached their lowest Radio Wales has lost 75

thousand listeners compared to the same period last year -

and Radio Cymru has The BBC says the results

were "disappointing." A water bottling company has

strongly denied claims that it could be causing environmental

damage in the countryside Landowners and environmentalists

have raised the alarm claiming land is sinking and the natural

springs drying up close to Princes Gate Spring

Water in Pembrokeshire. Natural Resources Wales say

they are powerless to investigate until a new law comes

into force later this year. This area used to be a prime spot

for salmon and sea trout. The water level came

to the bottom of the tree. The last four, five, six years,

the water level's dropped so considerably that there's

no access for the fish So, they can't get through here?

They can't get through. We're in Prices Gate,

not far from the spring water Last year, the factory announced

a major expansion, sinking new boreholes to increase production

to a potential equivalent But there are concerns it could be

having an adverse effect. I think what's going

on here is industrial scale All my friends and associates,

farmers and anglers, They've got ground sinkage

and loss of water. The natural spring water in this

part of Pembrokeshire comes from an aquifer running along this

ridgeway supplying a network of streams, which many landowners,

a local quarry and farmers Seven have contacted

Natural Resources Wales, complaining the water table

has dropped in the last few years with springs,

like this one, now run dry. We're not asking people to stop

bottling and selling water or using water or extracting it

in any way whatsoever. We're asking that a proper look

is taken at the environment and that the limits are set so that

the environment is not drying out. Because Princes Gate

are not the only ones abstracting water in this area,

they strongly deny that their operations are responsible,

saying they brought in industry experts and can find no truth

in the allegations. Adding, they monitor with extreme

care all water they abstract, measuring the quality,

table heights and flow to ensure they meet the highest standard

of corporate, social They also say Natural

Resources Wales has found no basis for these claims,

but the NRW told us they've not investigated them because currently

they have no powers to do so. In this part of the country,

at the moment, you don't need a licence to extract

water from the ground. But legally that position

will change later this year with a new water act

coming into force. Natural Resources Wales say,

when it does, licenses will only be granted if it can be shown

they don't have an adverse But operators will have a two year

window to apply and there are fears The nursery in Aberystwyth involved

with a child being left on a minibus for two hours

on the hottest day of Camau Bach was closed

for a fortnight An inquiry by the Care

and Social Services After two weeks, parents

were eventually allowed to bring their children back

to Camau Bach Nursery this morning. An investigation is still ongoing

into just how a three-year-old boy could be left alone

on their minibus for two hours The member of staff responsible

for the child was immediately However, there's still

concern from many parents. For Rachel Harrison,

it's her daughter's Working full-time, this

is the most convenient nursery I have no other option,

unfortunately. I have to work, I have to earn

a living and this is my only option at the moment

to send my daughter here. I've also spoken to some parents

who want to remain anonymous. One parent told me she took her

children straight out of the nursery the day after the incident

as she was so concerned. Another parent told me

she would take her child out of this nursery but has been unable

to because she can't find Because she works full-time,

she has no other alternative but today she was scared

to send her child back. Finding places at an alternative has

proved difficult for many parents with the closure of Penglais nursery

in the town just this week. While private Nursery Little Angels

has taken on two children. Luke Veasey and Amanda Gwalchma

were considering sending their three-month-old baby to Camau

Bach. Obviously, with what happened,

he's definitely not going to go there now but we probably

would have sent him. Many parents are just relieved it's

reopened and want to move on. Obviously want to see the full

report of what happened and how everything is going

to be going forward. I'm perfectly happy,

she's always gone in with a smile on her face and she's always come

out with a smile on her face. I've always found the

staff here very good. This is a flagship nursery

for the charity, Medead Maythrin and today they confirmed a member

of staff still remains suspended. The council safeguarding board has

now completed its enquiry and they say the nursery

will continue to work closely with the care and social services

inspectorate to ensure appropriate At the National Eisteddfod

in Abergavenny, the Drama medal went

to Hefin Robinson from Carmarthen. He came third in the competition two

years ago and second last year. His drama Estron meaning 'foreigner

or stranger' beat off competition from eleven

other entrants this year. In Rio, 23 Welsh athletes

are preparing to take centre stage ahead of the Olympics'

opening ceremony tomorrow. Boxer Joe Cordina will face

Charly Suarez from the Phillipines Sailor Hannah Mills,

who won silver four years ago, has spoken out about the dirty

sailing waters of Marina de Gloria. Obviously the water quality is a big

deal because no-one wants a medal to be won or lost on someone getting

ill or someone hitting a piece But you know, as sailors at some

point, we have to just... Enough's enough and we're racing

and we're racing here and just get Closer to home - let's see

what the weather has We can look forward to a lot of

sunshine tomorrow and it isn't mostly dry as well. Overnight, it

should be dry with clear skies. Temperatures between 11 to 14

Celsius. On the cool side, the winds are light from a south-westerly

direction. High pressure from the south west tomorrow, this front will

bring a bit of Clyde with that later on in the day. Tomorrow morning,

some sunshine, it is drag and you can preview and Bell at home. During

the day, some cloud coming through and the sunshine will be hazy. A

small risk of an isolated shower, King yourself unlucky if you catch

one. If they lay quiet day, plenty of dry and bright weather the few

showers across Northern Ireland, western part of Scotland, the wind

is picking up, by the end the day. Here in Wales, a lot of dry and

bright weather to look forward to tomorrow afternoon. Plenty of dry

and bright weather, temperatures getting up to 21 Celsius. The winds

light to moderate from a south-westerly direction but they

will pick up a little bit as we heading tomorrow night. Tomorrow

night, largely dry story. Temperatures on the mild side.

Saturday is looking good as well. More sunshine. Feeling a warm and

humid but through the day, the cloud will increase, rain likely across

Pembrokeshire but the bulk of the country will be dry with some brisk

winds as we head into Saturday night. Sunday, a wet start, patchy

rain, becoming drier and brighter by the afternoon.

Thank you for watching. Goodnight.
