0:02:42 > 0:02:46apparently taking his own life. One letter from his solicitor showed

0:02:46 > 0:02:52that the former minister knew the allegations involved and wanted

0:02:54 > 0:02:57he was pushing for further details, and the family statement said that

0:02:57 > 0:02:59meant:

0:03:28 > 0:03:31particularly Carl's family and went on to say that Carwyn, like everyone

0:03:31 > 0:03:34in the Welsh Labour family, is deeply upset by the death of his

0:03:34 > 0:03:37friend. There will be a crunch meeting tomorrow, the first

0:03:37 > 0:03:42opportunity to discuss the tragic events of the past week.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Thirty-one-year-old Barry Slaymaker, seen here in the blue jacket,

0:04:04 > 0:04:09was driving along the Nant Y Garth Pass near Felinheli last September.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24mortuary of Wales' biggest hospital.

0:04:24 > 0:04:29Tissue samples from 42 people, and in some cases entire organs,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32were kept at the University Hospital of Wales for longer

0:04:32 > 0:04:33than is permitted, following the conclusion

0:04:33 > 0:04:35of investigations by the POLICE or CORONER.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37The Human Tissue Authority says a significant amount

0:04:37 > 0:04:39of work needs to be done, to bring standards up to scratch.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Our

0:04:40 > 0:04:42systems have let us down, that is the failing, our systems have let us

0:04:42 > 0:04:45down, a number of those are administrative systems and I would

0:04:45 > 0:04:48suggest there is no excuse, we have to put that right and we need to put

0:04:48 > 0:04:54it right and make sure it stays right until the future.

0:05:02 > 0:05:10TATA is to invest £30 million in its Port Talbot steelworks.

0:05:10 > 0:05:16It plans to install a 500 tonne steel-making vessell,

0:05:16 > 0:05:22and OTHER equipment which will help it produce advanced-material

0:05:22 > 0:05:24for electric and hybrid cars.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Unions welcome the investment, but want TATA to commit

0:05:26 > 0:05:29to the re-lining of one of the blast furnaces, to secure the long-term

0:05:29 > 0:05:31future of the site.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Ten thousand crosses have been laid-out in the grounds

0:05:33 > 0:05:35of Cardiff Castle, to create a 'Field of Remembrance' for those

0:05:35 > 0:05:37who died while serving in the Armed Forces.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Organised by the Royal British Legion - the field in the Welsh

0:05:40 > 0:05:42capital is one of SIX across the UK.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44One football result for you this evening.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46And it was a win for Wrexham in tonight's Derby

0:05:46 > 0:05:47match against Chester.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49The final score 1-0.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51The match went ahead with relaxed safety measures.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Police had relaxed travel restrictions following a drop

0:05:52 > 0:05:55in arrests and disorder.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00in arrests and disorder.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02in arrests and disorder.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Time for the weather forecast now, a cloudier night

0:06:05 > 0:06:06compared with last night.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Some RAIN across Western parts.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09That rain spilling South-Eastwards through the night.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Some hill fog developing too.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16Overnight lows 5 -8 Celcius.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Light to moderate wind. Rain will clear by the afternoon, and we can

0:06:21 > 0:06:26look forward to drier and brighter conditions. It will feel milder than

0:06:26 > 0:06:29today with highs of 12 to 14 degrees.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Pressure is growing on Carwyn Jones, after the family of Carl Sargeant

0:06:33 > 0:06:38said that he was deprived of natural justice. He was found dead

0:06:38 > 0:06:45yesterday, days after losing his cabinet job amid accusations of

0:06:45 > 0:06:47unwanted attention, inappropriate touching and groping. It is

0:06:47 > 0:06:52understood he took his own life. Today, the family of Carl Sargeant

0:06:52 > 0:06:58released copies of letters sent by his solicitors to Labour requesting

0:06:58 > 0:07:04more information, concerns were raised about his well-being. In a

0:07:04 > 0:07:09moment we will hear from the former Wales government minister, but we

0:07:09 > 0:07:17are at the Senate in Cardiff Bay.A sombre yet extraordinary 36 hours in

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Welsh politics, and lots of developments today. This morning, a

0:07:22 > 0:07:25former public standards watchdog called for an independent enquiry

0:07:25 > 0:07:29into the handling of the sacking of Carl Sargeant and tonight, a friend

0:07:29 > 0:07:33of Carl Sargeant, senior Labour figure in local government, has

0:07:33 > 0:07:39called for Carwyn Jones to resign. I have been looking at how this story

0:07:39 > 0:07:43has unfolded and the questions that remain are nonsense.VOICEOVER: It

0:07:43 > 0:07:46was here at Welsh government HQ in the centre of Cardiff on Friday

0:07:46 > 0:07:51morning, as Carwyn Jones again the latest reshuffle of his eight year

0:07:51 > 0:07:55reign as First Minister, and brought to an end the 10-year government

0:07:55 > 0:08:00career of his close colleague and friend, Carl Sargeant. Just after

0:08:00 > 0:08:051:50pm, that afternoon, Carl Sargeant tweeted a personal

0:08:05 > 0:08:08statement, saying he was shocked and distressed that allegations had been

0:08:08 > 0:08:12made about his personal conduct, he said he was not told detail and

0:08:12 > 0:08:15called for an independent investigation, he said that he would

0:08:15 > 0:08:20clear his name. Minutes later, Welsh Labour confirmed he had been

0:08:20 > 0:08:25suspended from the party. Then, at 2:30pm, a spokesman for the First

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Minister confirmed the allegations were the reason Carl Sargeant had

0:08:29 > 0:08:33been removed from the cabinet. Sources later told BBC News whales

0:08:33 > 0:08:39that he had been sacked. Later on that Friday afternoon, his lawyer

0:08:39 > 0:08:44was told by a Labour Party that the allegations fell into the category

0:08:44 > 0:08:49of unwanted attention, inappropriate touching, or groping. And no further

0:08:49 > 0:08:54detail was given. -- BBC Wales. It is an approach that today drew

0:08:54 > 0:08:57criticism from a barrister.Nothing was said about when it was alleged

0:08:57 > 0:09:02to have happened, nothing was said, for example, as to whether or not he

0:09:02 > 0:09:08was asked, do you access or deny this? In most cases, whether you

0:09:08 > 0:09:11work as an elected, senior politician, or you were proverbially

0:09:11 > 0:09:17in the corner shop, you deserve the same care and attention and the same

0:09:17 > 0:09:22duty of care.Over the weekend, Carl Sargeant remained in the dark about

0:09:22 > 0:09:25the details of the allegations, his family said this afternoon that this

0:09:25 > 0:09:30was despite West and warnings regarding his mental welfare.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Friends and former colleagues say that he was not offered support by

0:09:33 > 0:09:38Labour, one former Labour worker said that the Handling had put the

0:09:38 > 0:09:41emphasis on the smack of firm government, rather than a duty of

0:09:41 > 0:09:47care to a colleague. Then on Monday, the First Minister gave more detail,

0:09:47 > 0:09:52publicly.I became aware of a number of incidents, at the beginning of

0:09:52 > 0:09:56last week, as a result of being aware of the incidents, I asked my

0:09:56 > 0:10:04office to speak to those women involved that provided detail, and

0:10:04 > 0:10:07as a result of those conversations, I felt I had no choice but to refer

0:10:07 > 0:10:12the matter to the party. By Monday night, concern was beginning to

0:10:12 > 0:10:17emerge about the way the situation had been handled.The sexual

0:10:17 > 0:10:21harassment story that has engulfed politics was the main talking point

0:10:21 > 0:10:25as members of Parliament returned to Cardiff Bay yesterday following the

0:10:25 > 0:10:28half term break, the party leaders were intending to meet to discuss

0:10:28 > 0:10:34the matter and yesterday morning Carwyn Jones called a meeting of

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Labour's AMs and support staff to discuss the way that the party

0:10:37 > 0:10:41listens to concerns. The people in the room have told us that towards

0:10:41 > 0:10:45the end of the meeting, Carwyn Jones was approached by his cabinet

0:10:45 > 0:10:48colleague, Lesley Griffiths, who informed him that Carl Sargeant had

0:10:48 > 0:10:54been found dead. The news broke at lunchtime.A former Welsh government

0:10:54 > 0:10:59secretary Carl Sargeant has died. Gradually, yesterday, amid the

0:10:59 > 0:11:04shocked and upset for politicians and staffers, questions began to

0:11:04 > 0:11:06crystallise, why hadn't Carl Sargeant been given more detail

0:11:06 > 0:11:10about the allegations, why had he been sacked from government before

0:11:10 > 0:11:14an investigation was conducted, and just how much support at the Labour

0:11:14 > 0:11:21Party given him over the weekend? This afternoon, Carl Sargeant's

0:11:21 > 0:11:24family released copies of correspondence that his solicitors

0:11:24 > 0:11:28sent to labour on Monday, asking for more detail on the allegations. In a

0:11:28 > 0:11:33statement, the family said there would be -- there had been no

0:11:33 > 0:11:37natural justice. The area's MP visited them this afternoon.They

0:11:37 > 0:11:42are angry because they have questions about the process and how

0:11:42 > 0:11:47it has ended up with this. But I think they need some space, to

0:11:47 > 0:11:54really try as best they can to come to terms with what has happened.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59This evening, Labour tried to clarify the process it had followed,

0:11:59 > 0:12:01the procedure was to initially outlined the nature of the

0:12:01 > 0:12:05allegations, giving the detail would have formed the next part of the

0:12:05 > 0:12:10investigation. Carwyn Jones appeared in public today, but was not doing

0:12:10 > 0:12:15any interviews. His spokesman said the First Minister is deeply upset

0:12:15 > 0:12:21by the death of his friend.First Minister, BBC Wales, have you got

0:12:21 > 0:12:25anything to say?Back at home in Bridgend tonight, he told BBC Wales

0:12:25 > 0:12:32he will give a statement tomorrow, when he will also meet Labour AMs,

0:12:32 > 0:12:36AMs they want answers to big questions.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41Joined by our Welsh affairs editor, and the former Welsh government

0:12:41 > 0:12:44minister, Alistair Andrews, thank you very much for joining us at such

0:12:44 > 0:12:50a difficult time. You have lost a dear friend and colleague, it must

0:12:50 > 0:12:53have been devastating news.It was devastating, it is still devastating

0:12:53 > 0:12:59for Carl's family and friends, people in the late family, people

0:12:59 > 0:13:04who are part of this... Carl was loved.You said yesterday now is not

0:13:04 > 0:13:08the time to talk about how things have been handled, have you had any

0:13:08 > 0:13:12thoughts, following a statement from the family, this afternoon, saying

0:13:12 > 0:13:17that he was not afforded common courtesy, decency, natural justice,

0:13:17 > 0:13:22is that how you see it?A lot of questions to be asked, some of which

0:13:22 > 0:13:25have been mentioned in the programme. If you look at the

0:13:25 > 0:13:30situation, on Friday, we were told that the First Minister was handing

0:13:30 > 0:13:34this over to the Labour Party, and it was going to be a Labour Party

0:13:34 > 0:13:37enquiry. My understanding with a process like that, I worked in the

0:13:37 > 0:13:42BBC, there would be a process, conducted behind closed doors.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Statements would be taken, people would be interviewed. Materials

0:13:46 > 0:13:51would be gathered and documented. And yet, and yet, you know, having

0:13:51 > 0:13:56passed this over on Friday, to the Labour Party, on Monday, the First

0:13:56 > 0:14:01Minister is doing interviews with the BBC, and with ITV as well, in

0:14:01 > 0:14:06which he is collaborating on the story, and commenting on the story.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11That is not due process. If there is due process, that should be

0:14:11 > 0:14:16conducted behind closed doors, with proper interviews, proper

0:14:16 > 0:14:21documentation, and people should not be freelancing in interviews, making

0:14:21 > 0:14:25further comments, whether they are the First Minister or not.You are

0:14:25 > 0:14:29clearly angry with the way Carwyn Jones has handled this.Very angry

0:14:29 > 0:14:33with the interviews on Monday and the anger within the Labour Party

0:14:33 > 0:14:38across Wales, and beyond the Labour Party, in Carl's local community,

0:14:38 > 0:14:43people of no political party, evil do not think Carl Sargeant has been

0:14:43 > 0:14:48treated fairly.Are you agreeing with those people then who are

0:14:48 > 0:14:54calling for him to stand down, can he carry on, given this?I'm not

0:14:54 > 0:14:59here to call for scalps anything else.I'm here to support Carl's

0:14:59 > 0:15:08memory and his family.What we want to see is justice for Carl. We want

0:15:08 > 0:15:11proper due process to be followed, we want the situation now to be

0:15:11 > 0:15:16investigated. I also think there is a big issue about Judy of care to

0:15:16 > 0:15:21Carl, I don't believe there was sufficient attention to Carl's

0:15:21 > 0:15:27mental state over the weekend, or in the days after that. I think that is

0:15:27 > 0:15:31a very big issue for the Labour Party. And it is a very big issue in

0:15:31 > 0:15:32politics more widely.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43I am sure that everybody watching can understand how emotional you

0:15:43 > 0:15:48feel. Take a moment. Good evening. Is this the sort of story, the

0:15:48 > 0:15:54people that you have spoken to over the last 24-48 hours, the sort of

0:15:54 > 0:15:57thing that could possibly see the end of Carwyn Jones as First

0:15:57 > 0:16:03Minister?Very possibly. I would caution against saying it is going

0:16:03 > 0:16:09to be some sort of huge explosion to him being thrown out. This hastens

0:16:09 > 0:16:18the end. People think that he has exercised very poor judgment, about

0:16:18 > 0:16:25following the party rules. On the one hand, it should have been a

0:16:25 > 0:16:28matter for the panel of the executive committee in London, not

0:16:28 > 0:16:38Carwyn Jones. I think there will be real questions asked. We were

0:16:38 > 0:16:41expecting Carwyn Jones to depart at some stage during this assembly

0:16:41 > 0:16:46term, it is if that is going to be brought forward. Attempts for him to

0:16:46 > 0:16:55part with dignity, but his hold severely beaten.You have been

0:16:55 > 0:17:00covering Welsh politics. They talked about the duty of care. What do you

0:17:00 > 0:17:07think happened?By handing the process to the party, Carwyn Jones

0:17:07 > 0:17:13was handing a duty of care to the party. It could be that things feel

0:17:13 > 0:17:21between two stools. Somebody thought someone else was doing something. In

0:17:21 > 0:17:32any organisation, you have a named HR officer, keeping an eye out for

0:17:32 > 0:17:39welfare. It does not seem to me that that happened. Carl Sergeant was an

0:17:39 > 0:17:44assembly member, Carwyn Jones could have asked for standards to

0:17:44 > 0:17:49investigate. The Commissioner for standards would have had a set of

0:17:49 > 0:17:52procedures to be followed. What appears to have happened, I have not

0:17:52 > 0:17:58talked to the families so I do not want to say that I have got a full

0:17:58 > 0:18:04understanding but it seems that what has happened, no-one has phoned up

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Carl Sergeant and asked how are you feeling. This is what is happening.

0:18:09 > 0:18:15I've got any questions about the process? What do we need to do to

0:18:15 > 0:18:20help see you through the process? But does not seem to have happened.

0:18:20 > 0:18:26We were hoping for Carwyn Jones potentially or a minister here,

0:18:26 > 0:18:30perhaps they would say that process was being followed and the detail

0:18:30 > 0:18:39was to follow. What would you say to that?I am sure that Carwyn himself

0:18:39 > 0:18:51is traumatised either Spurs miss. No monopoly over grief. But this was a

0:18:51 > 0:18:57question that clearly required delicate handling, and fair process.

0:18:57 > 0:19:02The trade union colleagues in the labour movement would not recognise

0:19:02 > 0:19:09this process, a process that you would expect in a corporation, third

0:19:09 > 0:19:16sector setting. Proper rules. People would understand them. And Carl with

0:19:16 > 0:19:21have been told the details. The barrister has made that point. Even

0:19:21 > 0:19:27as late as Tuesday morning, he did know the details of what he was

0:19:27 > 0:19:32being accused of.And the balance of protecting anonymity, safeguarding

0:19:32 > 0:19:37the well-being of the accused who clearly do not think that was

0:19:37 > 0:19:48struck.Of course it was not. It has to be due respect and attention to

0:19:48 > 0:19:50those who have raised the complaints. But equally the person

0:19:50 > 0:19:58being complained of has the right to a fair procedure.Final question.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02Investigation is being carried out at Westminster, all sorts of other

0:20:02 > 0:20:07allegations, do you think this changes anything?I think it might.

0:20:07 > 0:20:15What we have seen, I do not know who any of these complainants are not

0:20:15 > 0:20:17one suspects that they would feel dreadful. None of this would have

0:20:17 > 0:20:27wanted this to end this way. I think people will say we need to be less

0:20:27 > 0:20:31cavalier about some of these accusations, the way that they have

0:20:31 > 0:20:37been treated, but one thing that I resent, people have said this is

0:20:37 > 0:20:44trial by media. The media covered none of this until the Welsh

0:20:44 > 0:20:47government, Carwyn Jones reached a decision. All that we have done,

0:20:47 > 0:20:54covered the decisions they made. This is not trial by media.I am

0:20:54 > 0:20:57sure we will be discussing that again. Thank you both very much for

0:20:57 > 0:21:07coming.

0:21:08 > 0:21:21Last summer, Adil Proctor waved her son off, but he was actually going

0:21:21 > 0:21:27to join Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria. He was charged with

0:21:27 > 0:21:31terror offence, something his mother thing should not have happened. She

0:21:31 > 0:21:37has been speaking to a reporter. What has she had to say?This is

0:21:37 > 0:21:40unusual for a couple of different reasons. We are accustomed to

0:21:40 > 0:21:45learning about Brits who have been radicalised, fighting for so-called

0:21:45 > 0:21:51Islamic State. 850 people from Britain have done that. This is

0:21:51 > 0:22:02unusual, far fewer light Josh who have joined militia fighting against

0:22:02 > 0:22:08Islamic State. When Josh returned he was up in court. Facing terror

0:22:08 > 0:22:14charges. Nothing to do with the fact that he had been to Syria, that is

0:22:14 > 0:22:24something that his mum is very critical of. This is what she had to

0:22:24 > 0:22:33say.Josh is idealist, passionate. When he was growing up I took him on

0:22:33 > 0:22:37a number of marchers, so if you believe in something, do something

0:22:37 > 0:22:45about it. Not just lip service.Josh went to the local Welsh medium

0:22:45 > 0:22:50school, studying International politics and strategy at university.

0:22:50 > 0:22:57Last summer he told his mum, a secondary school teacher, he was

0:22:57 > 0:23:06going to Turkey to help refugees.As he left, he gave me a massive hug, I

0:23:06 > 0:23:13really love you. But he looked at me, I really love you. I thought

0:23:13 > 0:23:18what is wrong with him? I just thought he was being particularly

0:23:18 > 0:23:26sweet.What Josh was not seeing, against Foreign Office advice, he

0:23:26 > 0:23:30was on his way to Syria, joining a militia fighting against Islamic

0:23:30 > 0:23:42State. His main role was as a translator but he was also trained

0:23:42 > 0:23:45to use a gun. He said he fired it once when a suicide car was driven

0:23:45 > 0:23:49at him. Had she known what he was planning, Adele said she would never

0:23:49 > 0:23:53have let him leave the country.He said I would probably have stopped

0:23:53 > 0:23:59him, and they would have physically wrestled him to the ground and take

0:23:59 > 0:24:05in the passport. Josh knows that. The only way that I knew he was OK,

0:24:05 > 0:24:14Facebook stalking. If he appeared on Facebook.How could you call with

0:24:14 > 0:24:20not knowing, not knowing when you would speak to him next?I ended up

0:24:20 > 0:24:25on anti-anxiety tablets, because you can only hide it so much. It is just

0:24:25 > 0:24:35this deep panic.All the time. During this time, anti-terror police

0:24:35 > 0:24:38were also visiting. When Josh flew home to Gatwick Airport he was

0:24:38 > 0:24:44detained. It was when he was being questioned police got a partial copy

0:24:44 > 0:24:54of a book called the anarchist cookbook. It is a 1970 DIY guide to

0:24:54 > 0:24:59warfare and on explosives, available for anybody off the shelf. Josh told

0:24:59 > 0:25:05police he had been using it as part of war strategy systems that he and

0:25:05 > 0:25:08other students were acting at university. He was charged with

0:25:08 > 0:25:14possessing of information likely to be useful to a person likely to

0:25:14 > 0:25:17commit an act of terror. The think it was appropriate you was

0:25:17 > 0:25:24questioned?Yes. It is a safeguard. That should happen as a matter of

0:25:24 > 0:25:32course. But I just did not think there would then be a nine-month

0:25:32 > 0:25:36police investigation. It was surreal and really stressful. I thought what

0:25:36 > 0:25:44is going on. It is a ridiculous waste of everybody's time. And the

0:25:44 > 0:25:51money that must have been spent. After a four-day trial, a jury found

0:25:51 > 0:25:58Josh not guilty. Some members of the jury approached Adele outside court.

0:25:58 > 0:26:06They said you have got to do one thing. Give him a slap! Putting you

0:26:06 > 0:26:10through all of that. I said, do not worry, a long line of people arguing

0:26:10 > 0:26:15to do that after what he has put me through. It is logical, for the

0:26:15 > 0:26:20upbringing he had, he would want to put his money where his mouth is.

0:26:20 > 0:26:29You have got to the careful what you wish for for your child.I will pick

0:26:29 > 0:26:34up on one of the points, about the criticism of the Crown Prosecution

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Service. CPS said the only prosecuted Josh after detailed

0:26:38 > 0:26:43consideration of the evidence. The Home Office said that ultimately

0:26:43 > 0:26:49anybody going to Syria or Iraq has two remember that they must be

0:26:49 > 0:26:55expected to be investigated by police. Not going to be a threat to

0:26:55 > 0:26:59national security, only going to prosecute on a case-by-case basis.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Josh is currently working but he does plan to return to university to

0:27:02 > 0:27:16continue the studies. Home safe. Thank you. Back to you.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23Senate, the Welsh Rugby Union chairman has told that the rising

0:27:23 > 0:27:25concussions could seriously threaten the reputation of the sport. He

0:27:25 > 0:27:29said

0:27:29 > 0:27:35that limiting replacements could indeed help the sport. Has Rugby

0:27:35 > 0:27:39union become too risky? Jamie Roberts has been investigating.

0:27:48 > 0:28:01I think yes. There is a rugby there is a rugby injury problem.From our

0:28:01 > 0:28:05numbers perspective, it is one of the worst.We have got health and

0:28:05 > 0:28:13safety laws for a reason. People do not die at work. We have got to

0:28:13 > 0:28:16treat rugby the same.Nasty collisions. The game has changed

0:28:16 > 0:28:22totally.I was told by the doctor you cannot play any more. It was a

0:28:22 > 0:28:33relief.Rugby is of course a contact sport and for players it is

0:28:33 > 0:28:38certainly a case of when and not if we will get injured. The season in

0:28:38 > 0:28:41particular it has been a real concern about the number getting

0:28:41 > 0:28:48injured. That begs the question, and injury crisis in the sport?

0:28:48 > 0:28:56Unfortunately, it is part of this tough game. 22 years on from the

0:28:56 > 0:29:03arrival of professionalism, really paid the price. You get the upper

0:29:03 > 0:29:08body. Heads always collating. Strong people trained to prevent strong

0:29:08 > 0:29:15people.Rugby is a contact sport and always has been but since

0:29:15 > 0:29:19professionalism does not become a contact sport, it is collision

0:29:19 > 0:29:23sport. The collisions are getting more violent, players are bigger and

0:29:23 > 0:29:26stronger and the number of collisions has been growing

0:29:26 > 0:29:33exponentially. We are now seeing the second, third generation of

0:29:33 > 0:29:39professionalism when children almost, 13, 14 in the gym, getting

0:29:39 > 0:29:42bigger and stronger. We were not doing that when I was playing.

0:29:42 > 0:29:48Becoming big men.Stories have... Season of the of the growing injury

0:29:48 > 0:29:55list. Dragons messing 29. And more than 80 injured in the first four

0:29:55 > 0:30:02weeks of the season. A doctor from university is studying injuries in

0:30:02 > 0:30:05Welsh professional rugby and is funded by the Welsh Rugby Union and

0:30:05 > 0:30:10world rugby. The research she was a staggering 172% increase in the

0:30:10 > 0:30:20number of concussions in the four seasons up to 2016. Overall numbers

0:30:20 > 0:30:25remain pretty static.Concussion has risen, that could be because of the

0:30:25 > 0:30:29head injury assessment, allowing people more time to diagnose

0:30:29 > 0:30:32concussion so what we are seeing, a true reflection of the concussion

0:30:32 > 0:30:39rates. Almost double what are essentially they used to be.The

0:30:39 > 0:30:44risk of getting injured in an international match is twice as high

0:30:44 > 0:30:51as a professional club or regional game.When you start the game, you

0:30:51 > 0:30:56and three others are likely to be enjoyed an international. We would

0:30:56 > 0:31:02expect four injuries per Autumn International.Players coming from

0:31:02 > 0:31:07the club side to the international side, inevitably some degree of

0:31:07 > 0:31:18injury. The way that they manage that, the player would be signed as

0:31:18 > 0:31:23red, amber, green. Very few green. An some injuries can affect life

0:31:23 > 0:31:28long after hanging up the boots, one of my former team-mates had to

0:31:28 > 0:31:32retire because of injury. He has been told he will need a knee

0:31:32 > 0:31:38replacement by the age of 40. Towards the end of my career I do

0:31:38 > 0:31:44not have fond memories because I had the bad injury for so long. The

0:31:44 > 0:31:49constant eating, having to have it drained on Wednesday. Dreaming all

0:31:49 > 0:32:00the blood. And then playing on Afridi Saturday. I was tearing

0:32:00 > 0:32:04cartilage. I was told by the doctor I could not play any more. It was a

0:32:04 > 0:32:09relief.At some points, my body feels as though it could definitely

0:32:09 > 0:32:14do with the break. And Billy Vunipola said he would take a peek

0:32:14 > 0:32:23cut to place your games in a season. In Wales, top players limited to 32

0:32:23 > 0:32:30games a season.Three a month. That is reasonable. Any less than that

0:32:30 > 0:32:36and you would be losing form and momentum.The problem, so many

0:32:36 > 0:32:42moving parts. World rugby have already agreed a calendar to 2032.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45We know the number of international that are going to be played.

0:32:45 > 0:32:52Television once the money, and players want to get paid. Clubs,

0:32:52 > 0:32:58investors, the unions. In order to fund the whole game.So many moving

0:32:58 > 0:33:04parts. Always going to be risk of injury. But what is too high? That

0:33:04 > 0:33:10is the ultimate question. I think they are high. I think we need to do

0:33:10 > 0:33:16something.So what can be done to me begin safer?A lot of small things,

0:33:16 > 0:33:23even as radical as the weight limit on the team.One area, the

0:33:23 > 0:33:27substitutions. If you expect a player to be playing for 80 minutes,

0:33:27 > 0:33:36owing to have to change the physicality and make up, not huge,

0:33:36 > 0:33:41muscular and strong for a high-intensity 80 minutes.They

0:33:41 > 0:33:43should be fairly certain that you are going to be walking off at

0:33:43 > 0:33:51being.Being next week. The lucky 23 going to do battle against Australia

0:33:51 > 0:33:55at the Stadium on Saturday. The beginning of one of the most intense

0:33:55 > 0:34:00periods in the rugby calendar. As players you understand the risks of

0:34:00 > 0:34:03getting injured are pretty high but you would not change that for the

0:34:03 > 0:34:10world. Jamie Roberts, pretty good reporter. And it is also his

0:34:10 > 0:34:14birthday. Happy birthday. That is at. We will be back next week. Thank

0:34:14 > 0:34:28you very much indeed for watching. From all of us, goodnight. Nos da.
