:02:38. > :02:47.describe the way these recommendations could be

:02:47. > :02:52.implemented. It is not the Church's policy to Secure the Welsh language,

:02:52. > :03:02.but it is important, because it can be used to spread the message.

:05:51. > :05:54...concerning the appeal case of Muslim cleric Abu Qatada...

:05:54. > :05:56...who is facing extradition from Britain.

:05:56. > :05:58.Theresa May has insisted all day...

:06:01. > :06:04.But the European Council said the application arrived...

:06:04. > :06:07...before the closing date.

:06:22. > :06:33.This man has been a thorn in the side of a number of foreign

:06:33. > :06:42.secretaries over the years, and the case was the same today. He is

:06:42. > :06:46.facing charges involving terrorism in Jordan. He appealed against

:06:46. > :06:55.extradition to the European Court of Human Rights. The government is

:06:55. > :06:59.clear that he has no right since the three-month deadline to appeal

:06:59. > :07:05.lapsed at midnight on Monday. some legal experts believe the Home

:07:05. > :07:10.Office has made a mistake. And also that they have missed red of the

:07:10. > :07:17.timetable. Labour says it is a farce. -- Miss Read of the

:07:17. > :07:29.timetable. Yesterday it said the appeal deadline was Monday night,

:07:39. > :07:52.is right. For the time being, the decision has been postponed. This

:07:52. > :07:55.is a shambles and it lies in the hands of the Home Secretary. The

:07:55. > :08:05.question is about whether the deadline was on Monday night or

:08:05. > :08:12.Tuesday night. But some Conservative backbenchers have

:08:12. > :08:23.called for Britain to cut its links with the European Court of Human

:09:10. > :09:15.ministers. They want to see Abu Qatada facing trial in Jordan. They

:09:16. > :09:20.believe he is a dangerous man and there is no room for him in Britain.

:09:20. > :09:28.This extra delay in the process is very frustrating for them. If it is

:09:28. > :09:41.a mistake, the government insists there wasn't one, but that would

:09:41. > :09:49.raise questions about Theresa May's running of the department. It would

:09:49. > :09:54.be a political risk for her. When can we expect to know whether the

:09:54. > :10:00.appeal has been successful? judges in Strasbourg will

:10:00. > :10:07.ultimately decide this. We don't expect a decision within a few days.

:15:44. > :15:49.Democrats are promising a lot of things, but it seems they have not

:15:49. > :15:58.fulfilled everything. It will be difficult for any party to gain

:15:58. > :16:05.complete control. There is a possibility of a number of

:16:05. > :16:15.coalitions. A lot of people have been telling us that they like the

:16:40. > :16:45.work with others. We will remain very positive. It is difficult to

:16:45. > :16:49.predict the result here in Cardiff. It is possible that the Liberal

:16:50. > :16:55.Democrats could hold their ground well enough to form a rainbow

:16:55. > :17:05.coalition after the election. But it is also possible that the party

:17:05. > :17:16.could lose half or more of its seats. The Liberal Democrats would
