Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories: As many as 1000 | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
people turn out in Merthyr to see Jeremy Corbyn - | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
will his message persuade Labour supporters to back him in Wales? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
And his country ripped apart by war - medical student Mohammed | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
was studying in Syria - now Universities here want to help. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
He stepped onto the balcony of Merthyr Tydfil's Old Town Hall - | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
to the cheers of hundreds of supporters. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Jeremy Corbyn - the Labour leader - was in town to launch the Welsh leg | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
of his campaign to keep his job. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
His key pledge - that no community would ever be left behind | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
under his leadership. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
Our reporter, Cemlyn Davies was there. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
This is how Jeremy Corbyn made his appearance | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
in Merthyr today to the | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
delight of hundreds of supporters who had gathered to see him. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
Jeremy Corbyn and his team chose this | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
location deliberately for today's event. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
The red house is where the | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
party's first leader would address his constituents when he was the | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
local MP at the start of the 20th century. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
This square was also the | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
scene of the Merthyr rising in 1831 when | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
the red flag, a symbol of the | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
working class cause, is said to have been | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
flown for the first time. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
But today was about the current fight | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
within Labour and before he addressed his supporters, I asked | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Jeremy Corbyn what his message is for the party members who decide | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
if he stays or goes. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Labour will be a party of investment, growing the | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
economy, and leaving no community behind. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
We need investment across | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
the entirety of the UK, including many parts of Wales that have | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
suffered grievously ever since the end of | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
the mining industry. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Owen Smith says you're going backwards if | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
you look at some of the Assembly election results? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
In the Assembly election results we gained some | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
seats as well as losing one. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
Labour Party membership hasn't grown without a | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
reason. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
People are coming into Labour because they see something of | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
themselves in the party, the possibility of a party | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
speaking for them. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Yes, more people have joined Labour under Jeremy Corbyn, but | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
despite his claims the party failed to win | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
any new assembly seats in | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
May, and these supporters are confident he can lead the party to | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
success. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:45 | |
Since the Blair thing, I haven't touched it, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
politics has just been one Tory | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
thing after another. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
Now there is a man who we can get together behind. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Can he win an election? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
Yes. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
This is a leadership contest, as we saw in | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
last night's first head-to-head debate, when Smith said only he can | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
get Labour back into power. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
I think I'm the person who has the ideas in | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
this debate and I think I'm the person who has the energy and I | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
think I see very clearly that we have not been | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
what we need to be in | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
recent months. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
In a blow to Mr Corbyn's campaign this evening, the | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
main union at the Port Talbot steelworks community said it is | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
supporting Owen Smith, however other major unions | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
are expected to back the current leader. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
He and his supporters intend on keeping their | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
flag flying. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
The front man of rock band Iron Maiden says - | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
his Vale of Glamorgan aviation firm is losing millions of pounds worth | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
of business because of a dispute with the MOD over landing rights. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Bruce Dickinson says - | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
when he located at RAF St Athan he was assured by the Welsh | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Government they'd be able to use MOD technology to allow planes to take | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
off and land day and night. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:59 | |
There has been a long-term failure to provide the use of an instrument | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
landing facility, which exists and was paid for by the taxpayer at vast | 0:04:02 | 0:04:10 | |
expense and is used by the RAF. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
But they don't permit civil aircraft to | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
use it. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
The Welsh Government says it'll discuss the issue with Mr Dickinson, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
and is lobbying the Ministry of Defence to ensure | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
a "favourable outcome". | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
The MOD has been asked to comment. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
Some Welsh universities are considering offering | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
scholarships to refugees who've fled here from war zones. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
The Syrian-Welsh society says - students who've been forced | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
to flee their homeland face barriers when it comes to entering | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
higher education. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Carwyn Jones reports. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Daily life on the streets of Aleppo. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Syria's largest city has become a battle ground with civilians | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
caught in the crossfire. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Many have simply left there lives behind and fled the | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
city, seeking refuge and safety in other countries. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
One of those refugees is 21-year-old Mohammad | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
Hadi Saleh, who arrived in Wales last year. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
At home he was a medical student and would like to continue | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
his education at somewhere like the School of Medicine at Cardiff | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
University. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
He was two years into his studies in Syria, but the war | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
cut that short. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
It was very difficult for all the Syrians living in | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Aleppo, everything is destroyed, there is no water, no electricity. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
There is not anything for the means of life. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
Cardiff University already offers financial support | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
for asylum seekers, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
while Bangor University offers a scholarship scheme for | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
international students. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Now two further institutions in Wales say | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
they want to do more to help refugees in particular who want to | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
study here. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
Aberystwyth hopes to offer five scholarships to refugees, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
the University of Wales Trinity Saint David | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
said it was committed to a | 0:05:58 | 0:05:59 | |
similar scheme. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
Both institutions want to give refugees like any other | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
students the chance to gain qualifications and skills. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
We'll be looking for potential students that | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
would benefit from the opportunity and who could bring something to the | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
University and potentially give something back to the UK once they | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
complete their qualification. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
But universities here could be doing a | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
lot more, according to Doctor Mohammed Al Hadj Ali, chair of the | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
Syrian Welsh Society, and who is also a research fellow at Cardiff | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
University. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
Some universities do not accept refugees as a transfer from a | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
university in Syria to a university in the UK. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
It is one of the major problems. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Mohammed still hopes to find a university in Wales that will | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
allow him to complete his medical degree. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
One year after he was forced to abandon his education and flee to | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
safety. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Every home in Caerphilly county is to be visited | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
by a council official - to ensure they're recycling | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
their food waste properly. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
Recycling advisors hope to call in on nearly eighty thousand | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
properties in coming weeks. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
The council says - it could save nearly ?200,000 | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
a year - if everyone recycled waste. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
Football, and Swansea City have completed the signing of striker | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
Fernando Llorente from Sevilla, for an undisclosed fee. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
The 31 year old Spanish World Cup and European Championship winner has | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
signed a two-year contract. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
A record number of Welsh athletes are preparing to take part | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
in the 2016 Olympic Games - which gets underway | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
in just over an hour. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Rehearsals have been taking place at Rio's Maracana stadium, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
where the Olympic cauldron will be lit at the opening ceremony. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
23 Welsh sportsmen and women are ready to compete | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
across 11 sports. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
First in action - double olympic champion Geraint Thomas - | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
who competes in the road race tomorrow. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
Coverage of the opening ceremony begins here | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
on BBC One Wales at 11.35pm tonight. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
Let's see what the weekend weather has in store - | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Derek has the forecast. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
Hello. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
I have some good news about the weekend. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
I can promise some fine and warm weather, but it is not | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
all plain sailing, damper on Saturday and windy on | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Sunday. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Tonight, dry with clear spells and patchy clouds. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:25 | |
Tomorrow shows a ridge of high pressure over the UK, meaning a | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
window of good weather, but this deep low | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
will bring strong wind on | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Sunday. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
Tomorrow morning looking dry with patchy cloud | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
and otherwise bright | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
with good spells of sunshine. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Across the rest of the UK, a fine sunny day | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
for many places, sunny spells and warming up | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
nicely, the exception is | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
the far north and north-west of Scotland, some rain here in the | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
afternoon with increasing wind. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
A lovely afternoon in Wales tomorrow, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:04 | |
plenty of sunshine and dry, more like summer and warmer than today. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
It might cloud over in Pembrokeshire by evening. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:17 | |
It will be a cracking day tomorrow for the last day in Abergavenny. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Dry tomorrow evening and dry start, but clouding over from | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
the West and turning damp and misty overnight with low cloud. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
The wind | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
picking up as well on Monday night into Sunday, damp and | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
misty start in the South first thing, but it will soon drive | 0:09:33 | 0:09:40 | |
-- dry and brighten up, the rest of the day is dry | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
with sunny spells, it will be | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
breezy and feeling fresh. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
Saturday is the best day of the weekend, next | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
week turning colder and breezy with a mix of sunshine and showers. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
That's Wales Today - have a lovely weekend - | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
from all of us on the programme, goodnight. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
The Girl From Ipanema - | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
nothing says Rio de Janeiro quite like it. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
So I've come here to Rio to explore the culture and the people | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
behind the hit song. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 |
