:00:24. > :00:26.First, let's get straight to the football, with two English

:00:27. > :00:29.teams involved in the Europa league last night.

:00:30. > :00:33.World record signing Paul Pogba scored twice for Man United,

:00:34. > :00:35.as they coasted to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Turkish

:00:36. > :00:49.Ex-United favourite Robin van Persie got a consolation goal.

:00:50. > :00:57.Despite creating loads of chances, they couldn't manage to find the net

:00:58. > :01:02.and slipped to a 1-0 defeat. Church services took place last

:01:03. > :01:05.night to mark 50 years since the Aberfan disaster,

:01:06. > :01:07.when a waste heap collapsed in the Welsh mining

:01:08. > :01:09.village of Aberfan. 144 people died, and there was a big

:01:10. > :01:13.investigation into what happened. After the disaster, new laws

:01:14. > :01:15.were brought in to make sure that nothing like this

:01:16. > :01:19.would ever happen again. More than 50 years ago the region

:01:20. > :01:25.was an important source of coal - the material used to heat

:01:26. > :01:30.homes and power trains. The area was heavily mined,

:01:31. > :01:34.and for years the leftover soil, dug out with the coal,

:01:35. > :01:37.was heaped up in big piles But the ground the waste was piled

:01:38. > :01:42.up on wasn't stable. It soaked up water,

:01:43. > :01:45.loosening the rock below. Then on the 21st of October 1966,

:01:46. > :01:50.the build-up of waste suddenly collapsed, and slid down

:01:51. > :01:53.into the surrounding area covering Huge rescue efforts were made,

:01:54. > :02:01.but a lot of people died. This memorial garden is one

:02:02. > :02:04.of the ways people in Aberfan Jeff Edwards was at the school

:02:05. > :02:24.when the disaster happened. How did it change your community?

:02:25. > :02:29.In 1966 it was a very thriving community. If you look at it today,

:02:30. > :02:34.it is still very bright -- vibrant, a new generation have come about,

:02:35. > :02:36.and I think it is important for the people that the community has a

:02:37. > :02:40.future. And those children are our future.

:02:41. > :02:42.Before the disaster happened, there had been questions raised

:02:43. > :02:45.about how safe the waste pile was - but nothing was changed.

:02:46. > :02:47.Afterwards, an investigation found that the National Coal Board,

:02:48. > :02:49.who owned the waste tip, were at fault for

:02:50. > :02:57.The disaster here in Aberfan was devastating for many families.

:02:58. > :03:00.People around the country were shocked about what happened.

:03:01. > :03:02.As a result, new safety rules about mines and quarries

:03:03. > :03:05.were made to make schools, villages and the areas around them

:03:06. > :03:08.safe and to stop anything like this happening again.

:03:09. > :03:10.At this school in Aberfan, children have been remembering

:03:11. > :03:26.I think it is important, because it was a big thing that happened, and

:03:27. > :03:30.we don't want it to happen again. We have Assembly, we do work on it

:03:31. > :03:34.in class. It is emotional, because if you

:03:35. > :03:39.think about all the people who lost their lives, at such a young age, it

:03:40. > :03:44.is very sad. But we look at the happy side and look at the future

:03:45. > :03:51.and remember them in that way, not in the past.

:03:52. > :03:55.We have been doing a painting of the village's future. I painted the

:03:56. > :04:00.Memorial garden and the yard. If you want to know more
