The headlines: ?20,000 on offer to encourage junior doctors to train | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Nadine Aburas was killed at a Cardiff Hotel on New Year's Eve. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Sammy Almahri changes his plea and admits her murder. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
And mixed messages from the Plaid Cymru leader over whether her | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
?20,000 - that's what's on offer for junior doctors | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
if they choose to train as GPs | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
in parts of Wales where there are big staff shortages. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
to deal with what some are calling a recruitment crisis. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
But a group representing GPs says what's on offer | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
With more, here's our health correspondent Owain Clarke. | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
In the early days, it all seemed so simple. Don't forget, choose your | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
doctor now. But the NHS has changed a lot since then and in part of the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
country, the challenge now is not so much choosing a family doctor about | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
finding one in the first place. I'd developed as a GP in one of the | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
poorest boroughs of Swansea. She also teaches at the city's medical | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
school. -- Heidi Phillips is one of the GPs. We are about to have a | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
senior partner retire as we cannot get a replacement partner to take | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
over that role, so I recognise personality challenges. To | :01:38. | :02:03. | |
offer me mineral wealth is absolutely fine, but my husband | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
needs a job as well. And the family connections are all there as well. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
As part of its campaign to try to persuade doctors from around the | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
world to come to Wales, there are cash incentives. ?20,000 will be | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
paid to those who train in areas of long-term shortages. As part of a | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
new contract, every trainee doctor, regardless of their speciality, will | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
get predicted time to study. But GP leaders took to the airwaves this | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
morning complaining I've missed opportunity. There wasn't so much | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
opportunity to use those wheels of a discharge to fix the problems we | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
face in general practice. But all we have got as a marketing campaign. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Scotland, England have just announced massive increases in the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
funding going to general practice. We had the opportunity to do that | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and so far it is not part of the wealth of. This afternoon, GPs have | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
a chance to raise their concerns with the First Minister. It is not | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
just about GPs. They are important but it is about looking at nurses, | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
pharmacists, therapists to provide a wider comprehensive service so that | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
people know how to go to when they have a particular condition. But it | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
was useful today for me to listen to the GPs that I met here, just to get | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
a better understanding of the pressures they feel they are under. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
But what matters most is not what they think but whether these | :03:16. | :03:16. | |
second-year Swansea medical students will be more likely to stay in | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Wales. It all plays a part, but I think the main considerations are | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
about family, friends and the way you form your life. I think it's | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
definitely will be attractive. I think there is a lot of pressure | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
being a GP and for me I think it is quite a lonely profession. Since the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
early days, the NHS has changed dramatically. But most of the care | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
most people get is still delivered through the GP surgery. That is why | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
tackling the shortages really does matter. | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
An American man who strangled a woman in a Cardiff hotel room | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
44-year-old Sammy Almahri had already admitted the manslaughter | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
of Nadine Aburas on the grounds of diminished responsibility, | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
He claimed the voice of God had told him to do it, | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
The body of Nadine Aburas, 28, described in court as the slim, | :04:02. | :04:16. | |
petite Muslim lady was found on eBay mattress in room two or three of | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
those Cardiff Hotel. On New Year's Eve 2014. -- on a mattress. Sammy | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Almahri, an American she has been having a relationship with, fled the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
scene and flew to the Middle East from Heathrow before eventually | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
being tracked down in Tanzania. Yesterday, he went on trial at | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Cardiff Crown Court for her murder. Sammy Almahri had already indicated | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
he would plead guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
diminished responsibility. But not guilty to murder. However, this | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
morning, on the second day of what was to have been a four-week trial, | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
he decided to change that plea. He admitted he had murdered Nadine | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Aburas. Yesterday, the prosecution described the strangling as the | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
deliberate killing of a defenceless woman by a jealous, angry and | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
dangerous man. After the guilty plea, there were tears from an | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
ideal's family in the public gallery. Relieved they no longer | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
have to endure the pain of a month-long trial, they made a | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
statement to the police. Justice has been done for any team, the right | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
verdict has been returned. We wish to thank everybody who has assisted | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
us throughout this tragic period in our lives. I asked me that we are | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
given the time to grieve and remember our beautiful girl. I will | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
get a full statement after sentence. The court heard how the couple met | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
to an online dating site two years previously and Sammy Almahri had | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
travelled to Cardiff on a few occasions to the Nadine but the | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
relationship ended when he became violent and jealous. The jury heard | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
that Sammy Almahri was suffering a mental illness. There will be a | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
short hearing to discuss his mental state before the judge he pass | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
sentence on the 3rd of November. The jury in the trial | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
of a former police superintendent who's on trial | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
for historical sex offences denies abusing two boys | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
in Wrexham in the 1980s. Tata's operations are still not "out | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
of the woods", That's despite heavy | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
losses at Port Talbot being reduced by a turnaround plan, | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
rising steel prices and a drop | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
in the value of the pound. But the Chief Executive | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
of Tata Steel UK says he expects the UK Government to keep | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
its promise to help solve The leader of Plaid Cymru | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
says her party is "genuinely torn" over whether it should seek | :06:33. | :06:47. | |
a coalition with Labour to formally share | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
power in the Assembly. Leanne Wood says Plaid is "actively | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
considering" the idea. But one of her Assembly Members says | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
he's "surprised" by talk of a coalition, and Labour says it's | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
happy with the relationship Here's our political | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
correspondent, Arwyn Jones. Rewind nine years, when the Labour | :06:59. | :07:13. | |
and Plaid Cymru leaders joined together to form the One Wales | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
coalition government. Labour was short of a majority so some Plaid | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Cymru members became Cabinet ministers. Ahead of the conference | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
this weekend, Leanne Wood briefed journalists that they were actively | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
considering whether to seek a coalition with Labour again, and | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
that the discussion was ongoing. This evening, however, after some | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
backlash from within her party, and criticism from other parties, she | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
wrote back from her earlier comments. We are not in 2000 79. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
This time it is very different. Brexit has changed everything. From | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Plaid Cymru's perspective, we are driven by what is in Wales's best | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
interests, and at this present time we feel the arrangement that we have | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
got is the best one that we can proceed for wealth at this moment in | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
time. So why would they be considering there's any way? It all | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
comes down to the numbers in this place, the Chamber in Cardiff Bay. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
We have got 60 members, so for the government to get all of its | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
policies through, it needs a majority of 30 or more. At the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
moment, Labour only has 29, so just one short of that majority. But if | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
it did go into coalition with Plaid Cymru, it would mean 11 additional | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Assembly members, with a grand total of 40, more than enough. But while | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the leader might be considering that arrangement, 1am told me the group | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
in the Assembly had already voted against a coalition, and that the | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
party faithful would not be keen. I think I am extremely confident in | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
saying that the vast majority of members do not want a coalition with | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
a very toxic Labour Government. As a loyal member of the Plaid Cymru | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
group, I think in public I need to convey the line which has been voted | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
upon by the group, that we do not want a coalition with Labour. Of | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
course, Plaid Cymru is already working with Labour in the Assembly. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
The two parties have an agreement which means Carwyn Jones could | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
become a minister in May and could pass a budget earlier this week. It | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
is called a compact and means Plaid Cymru also has a say in some of the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
government's policy. Labour says it is happy with the arrangement as it | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
is and some observers think it serves both sides well. I do not | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
think it would be a temptation for Plaid Cymru or the Welsh Government. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
When he was government stands, they have got 30 members if you include | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Kirsty Williams, and two independence, plus the compact with | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Plaid Cymru. And from Plaid Cymru's perspective, ad hoc deals that are | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
reactive and have specific cons are surely more -- outcomes are surely | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
more beneficial. They may become closer but might not quite joined | :09:59. | :09:59. | |
forces. A private banking firm has joined | :10:00. | :10:00. | |
the team behind the Circuit bringing another ?100 | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
million into the project. Kleinwort Benson works | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
internationally putting in place the money for large | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
infrastructure plans. The plans for the ?375 million | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
project were rejected for the second time | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
by the Welsh Government in July. A commemorative service has been | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
held tonight to mark the 50th anniversary | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
of the Aberfan disaster. Hundreds of people | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
paid their respects to the 116 children and 28 adults | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
who lost their lives when a coal waste tip collapsed | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
onto the village school. The service is one | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
of several events that's being held | :10:34. | :10:34. | |
across the county. to be pulled of Pant | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
Glas school alive. We have been inundated with messages | :10:37. | :10:57. | |
of goodwill, condolences and sympathy and that is very important | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
as fun as the community is concerned, to show that support. And | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
it gets them through a very, very difficult time. Tomorrow is going to | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
be a very difficult day for us. And we'll have a special programme | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
marking all the day's events. The Wales manager has been given the | :11:11. | :11:28. | |
freedom of his home city. He played 160 times for Swansea City. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Time for a check on the weather now, here's Derek. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Hello. It has been an unusually dry month so far. We have only had about | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
31 millimetres of rain, less than one fifth the total monthly average. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
And there is plenty more dry weather to come over the few days. Much of | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
the country is right on it. The clouds clearing. It will turn | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
chilly, if not cold, some ground frost in the countryside by the end | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
of the night. If you mist and fog patches of. It chilly, cold start | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
first thing tomorrow. The mist and fog will slowly lift. Much of the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
country them dry with some bright spells on sunshine. Just the odd | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
light shower perhaps in some places. Across the rest of the UK, there | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
will be a few showers in East Anglia tomorrow, with a cool breeze. A | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
little rain in the far north-west of Scotland. Elsewhere, mostly dry. | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Clive, sunny spells, just one or two about showers in the afternoon. A | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
highs of 12 in Liverpool. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, most places dry | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
with a mixture of cloud. Some sunshine, the Ord, isolated light | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
shower. Most listeners dry, top temperatures 11-14dC with light | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
winds. Tomorrow night, looking guy with the sky clearing. It will turn | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
quite cold with a fairly widespread ground frost. A few mist and fog | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
patches or so. These will slowly lift on Saturday morning, leaving a | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
dry day. There will be some cloud around but we will all see some | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
sunshine, I think, and that easterly breeze picking up on the side. Then | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
on Sunday most places dry. Just one or two showers perhaps in the north. | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
There will be some cloud around, with some sunshine in parts of the | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
south and the West. Some men may reach the Bristol Channel by Sunday | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
evening. A stronger easterly wind on Sunday, that will make it feel cold. | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
Into next week, we may see a little rain on Monday. Otherwise, plenty | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
more dry weather to come. See you soon! | :13:29. | :13:30. |
