Welcome to Wales Today. ?65,000 for this wall? | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Bogus builders behind bars after conning vulnerable pensioners. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Kris Wade murdered his neighbour in a sexually motivated attack. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
It emerges he'd previously been sacked from his job over | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
claims of sexual assault. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
And a homecoming to remember - celebrating Welsh athletes | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
success at the Rio Games. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
They preyed on elderly, vulnerable people right | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
across South Wales - conning them out of more | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
than ?70,000 for fake building work. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Now, father and son - Jeffrey and James Tawse | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
from Cardiff are behind bars - the judge labelling them "inhuman." | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
They charged one disabled pensioner ?65,000 to build | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
a small garden wall. Jordan Davies has more. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
They posed as builders. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Preying on elderly home owners across South Wales. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Jeffrey and James Tawse. Their oldest victim was 97. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
This, an example of their "shoddy" work. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
It may not look like much - a garden wall - but the Tawse | 0:01:18 | 0:01:25 | |
charged a 71-year-old disabled man nearly ?65,000 for the work. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
The price of a small house in some places. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
The man - referred to in court as "Mr P" - | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
had suffered a brain injury in a cycling accident. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Police were alerted to the fraud by his bank manager - | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
after he withdrew ?100,000 over the course of a year. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
Damp inside the home of another 84-year-old victim | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
in Rhonnda Cynon Taff. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
The Tawses were paid ?1,000 to weatherproof | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
the other side of the wall. But it isn't just the poor work. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
They were aggressive and intimidating. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
This victim doesn't want to be identified for fear of reprisals. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
His words are spoken by someone else. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
I should have been wiser but I was conned, wasn't I? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
He had no intention of doing the job properly because if he had, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
there would be no need to come back. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
He was creating a situation where he could return | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
and possibly get more work. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
This weed-proof drive - another one of their jobs. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
They simply threw sand into the cracks - which blew away. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
They were caught after a two-year investigation by Trading Standards. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
We see the people who have been taken advantage of and we see | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
the effect it has had on those people and to bring the perpetrators | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
before a court, I think that gives certainly us, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
some satisfaction and them, some closure on what | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
has happened to them. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Jeffrey and James Tawse conned their way across the country, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
from Carmarthenshire to Monmouthshire. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
They'd been convicted several times before. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Jeffrey Tawse used the bank account of a young relative to "hide" | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
his victims' money. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
The judge described Jeffrey Tawse as inhuman. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
He said the men preyed on people in a cold-blooded way. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
He sentenced this father and son to a total of eight years in prison. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
Police have charged 20-year-old Andrew Saunders from Castleton | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
near Newport with the murder of two people in Cardiff city centre. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
21-year-old Zoe Morgan and 33-year-old Lee Simmons | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
were found stabbed to death on Queen Street | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
early yesterday morning. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Zoe's family have described her as "a beautiful daughter, sister, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:45 | |
granddaughter and aunty who had a heart of gold and would do | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
anything for anybody". | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Floral tributes have been left at the Matalan store | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
where they both worked, and friends have set up a Go Fund me | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
page to raise money for the funerals. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
He was very quiet, kept himself to himself. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Lovely, genuine guy, wouldn't hurt a fly. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
I only saw them last week as the couple. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
I saw a few months ago they'd put on Facebook they were in | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
a relationship, which I thought was lovely and she was his | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Tinkerbell. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
It was so sweet, it was so nice to see them happy. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
A 24-year-old kayaker who died following an incident on a river | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
near Beddgelert in Snowdonia has been named as Thomas Lloyd | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
from Whittington in Staffordshire. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
The Bangor University student was reported missing | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
on Tuesday afternoon. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
His body was recovered yesterday following a major search operation. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
He's been described as an experienced outdoor pursuits | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
enthusiast. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
It's emerged that a killer - jailed for the sexually-motivated | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
murder of his neighbour in Cardiff Bay - had been previously | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
sacked from his job over allegations of sex assaults. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Three people with learning difficulties accused Kris Wade | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
of assaulting them - while employed as a support worker - | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
though no prosecution was ever brought. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Disability campaigners say those with learning difficulties | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
often struggle to get justice. Nick Palit reports. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
In the waterside apartment she had lived in for just a few months, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Christine James was brutally murdered by the neighbour | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
who lived upstairs. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
The 65-year-old grandmother died from a cut throat in February | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
and was discovered a few days later in her Cardiff Bay flat. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Kris Wade admitted the murder and last week the judge | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
at Cardiff Crown Court said he'd targeted Mrs James because | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
of his sexual desire. Now it's emerged he'd already been | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
investigated for a series of alleged sexual assaults. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Those incidents were when Kris Wade was employed as a health care | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
support worker at this special centre in the Ely | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
district of Cardiff. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board confirmed complaints | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
about Kris Wade's conduct here at Rowan House first | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
emerged in January 2012. Eventually there were allegations | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
he had sexually assaulted three patients with learning difficulties. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
In October 2012 he was suspended while a multi-agency protection | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
of vulnerable adults review was carried out, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
including a criminal investigation by South Wales Police. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
Although no prosecution followed, the health board's own disciplinary | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
procedures resulted in Wade being sacked for gross misconduct. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
But that wasn't until earlier this year, nearly four years after | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
the first allegations were reported. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
South Wales Police say the allegations surrounding | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
Rowan House were fully investigated but in each case no further action | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
was taken, following advice from the Crown Prosecution Service. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
Campaigners working for those with learning difficulties say | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
such people often feel they are denied justice. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
I think there is a stigma associated often with being a person | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
with a learning disability, in that your opinions, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
your comments, your views are not valued or taken seriously | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
and I think it's well documented that there have been | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
a number of instances where Crown Prosecution Services | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
have looked at issues of serious allegations of abuse or other | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
offences, but have felt there wasn't enough evidence to proceed. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
We need to know how they were communicated | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
with when evidence was being gathered and what credibility | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
was given to the concerns that they raised, very serious | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
concerns, people who said they had been sexually assaulted by somebody | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
we now know has subsequently been convicted for murder. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
Christine James' family are painfully aware that had | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
there been enough evidence to prosecute Kris Wade | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
for the sexual assaults when they first arose in 2012, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
he wouldn't have been living in these flats next | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
to the grandmother he went on to murder. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
The former Economy Minister - Edwina Hart - has been accused | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
by the Welsh Conservatives of breaking the ministerial code. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
She approved more than ?3 million to support the firm Kancoat - | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
near her Gower constituency - despite a warning that | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
its business plan was weak. The company later went bust. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
The Welsh Government says the code wasn't broken, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
as the firm was outside her constituency. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Tributes have been paid to former union leader Terry Thomas - | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
who's died aged 78. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
He was Vice President of the South Wales National Union of Miners, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:20 | |
during the miners' strike, and was instrumental | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
in leading the return to work. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
Ceredigion Council has decided to keep the job | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
of Aberaeron Harbourmaster running. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Almost a thousand people signed a petition to save the role - | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
after concerns the council was considering cutting | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
the full-time post. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
The local authority also employs harbourmasters in Aberystwyth | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
and New Quay - and had said it needed to respond | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
to the "tough financial climate". | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
Celebrations have taken place at the Senedd to mark the success | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
of Team GBs Welsh athletes at the Rio Olympic | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
and Paralympic Games. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
They won a record ten Olympic medals - Welsh Paralympians won seven. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Tomos Dafydd has more. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
It was an unforgettable summer of sport. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
Rio lit up the Games and with a backdrop of colour | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
and music, our athletes did not disappoint either. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
The medals kept coming. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:17 | |
Ten in all for Team GB's Welsh Olympians, surpassing | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
the seven won in London. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
So tonight, a chance to meet our sporting heroes and get | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
close to those medals. Between them, cyclist Becky James | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
and sailor Hannah Mills returned home with two silvers and a gold. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
Years of hard work and sacrifice paid off. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:38 | |
Each Olympics is four years and once every four years is your shot to do | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
it on the biggest stage in the world, so there | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
is an awful lot of pressure, a lot of time and commitment | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
and you just pray it comes together on the day. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Take us back then. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
For you, it was a great family moment - they were all there | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
sharing in your success. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
It was incredible, my whole family had never been to watch a race | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
together so there were ten of them there, which was just | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
absolutely amazing. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Team GB's 67 medals surpassed the haul of four years ago, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
but could the Paralympians do the same? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
The pressure did not seem to affect Aled Sion Davies - | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
the shot putter from Bridgend broke the world record three times | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
on the way to winning gold. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
Aled, you broke the world record three times and got the gold, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
but still you were not entirely happy, were you? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:31 | |
No, I wasn't, I went there to execute a process, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
you know and we had distances in our head. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:39 | |
I've worked so hard for the last two, three years and after London, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
it was hard to get back but I worked so hard to be in such | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
good shape for this, I wanted to get close, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
if not over 70 metres. But it didn't happen and I'm over it | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
now but at the time, I was a bit frustrated. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
A great Games for you, a great Games for Paralympics GB. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
How do you think history will judge the Games, considering | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Russia were not there? I think it is something that... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
As great a success as it has been, you really have to take it | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
with a pinch of salt because as Paralympics GB, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
we won a lot of medals and, like you said, Russia were not | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
there so it's going to be very hard to beat that medal tally ever again. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
And this is what it means to win on the biggest stage. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Gold for Robert Davies in the table tennis and Hollie Arnold | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
in the javelin helped Paralympics GB bring home 147 medals. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
More than they won in 2012. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
Time for a look at the weather now. Here's Derek. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
Henffych, greetings. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
There is a chance tonight that we may see the Northern Lights, | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
especially in North Wales, so keep your eyes peeled. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Weather-wise, some dry and clear weather tonight but a few showers | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
dotted around as well. Heavy showers in places. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
And cooler and fresher than last night. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Temperatures in mid Wales falling as low as 7 or 8 Celsius. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Now, the umbrella may come in handy tomorrow morning, | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
there will be further showers about and again, sharp | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
showers in places. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
But some dry and bright weather and sunshine as well | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
and less windy than today. Across the rest of the UK, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Showers are heavy in places, a risk of hail and thunder, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
although some spots will stay dry. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
Lighter winds in Scotland tomorrow with top temperatures | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
of 12 Celsius in Glasgow and up to 19 in London. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
Closer to home, a few showers tomorrow afternoon but these hit | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
and miss so you may be lucky and stay dry. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
There will be some sunshine as well. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Temperatures a little lower than today - | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
14 in Aberystwyth, 16 in Newport and the wind less gusty. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
Tomorrow evening, a few scattered showers. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Dry for a while and then more showers and rain will spread | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
from the west after midnight. That sets the scene for Saturday. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
Low pressure over the UK and that means showers or longer spells | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
of rain, heavy showers in places. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
A few bright, sunny intervals as well with temperatures | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
on the cool side. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
Becoming dry and chilly on Saturday night but much nicer on Sunday. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
A couple of mist and fog patches perhaps in the morning. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
These will clear, leaving it dry and there will be some sunshine | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
and light winds. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
If you are taking part in the Cardiff Half Marathon | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
on Sunday or watching, the weather should be ideal. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
So, Sunday, the best day of the weekend. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Monday, dry, too, with a south-easterly breeze. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
I will see you soon. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
We're back in Breakfast with updates from 6.25am. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
But for now, from all of us on the programme, thanks | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
for watching, goodnight. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 |
