The giant from Tremadog is back in Wales, ready for tonight's clash.

:00:58.:01:10.

Questions have been raised tonight...

:01:10.:01:12.

..concerning the Church in Wales'attitude towards the Welsh language.

:01:12.:01:15.

It has come to light that less than 4% of the country's churches...

:01:15.:01:18.

..offer Welsh-language services on Sundays.

:01:18.:01:21.

A new report also suggests more than half of the churches...

:01:21.:01:24.

..break the establishment's language policy.

:01:24.:01:27.

But the Archbishop of Wales insists steps have already been taken...

:01:27.:01:30.

..to promote Welsh within the Church.

in Wales. Following a report it had come tonight -- to light than less

:02:05.:02:17.

than 4% offered a Welsh-language service every Sunday. In the report

:02:17.:02:24.

we describe the way that the Welsh language is able to be used in the

:02:24.:02:35.

services and the church. We are also offering training, and we

:02:35.:02:38.

describe the way these recommendations could be

:02:38.:02:47.

implemented. It is not the Church's policy to Secure the Welsh language,

:02:47.:02:52.

but it is important, because it can be used to spread the message.

:02:52.:03:02.

Pam's we need a full-time -- perhaps we need a full-time Welsh

:03:02.:03:06.

language officer to promote the use of Welsh and to look at the use of

:03:06.:03:19.

both languages. According to some, it is time to tackle the issue.

:03:19.:03:23.

am glad that there has been a reaction to the crisis we are

:03:23.:03:36.

facing. This has been ongoing for a number of years. The well has run

..in order to send Michael Emms to China...

:04:10.:04:12.

But after Julian Emms stole more than �16,000 from the fund...

..after he was moved there from Camp Bastion in Helmand province.

:05:41.:05:44.

He was injured about a week ago while on duty.

:05:44.:05:47.

A row is currently taking place between the Home Secretary...

:05:47.:05:49.

..and the European Court of Human Rights...

:05:49.:05:51.

..concerning the appeal case of Muslim cleric Abu Qatada...

:05:51.:05:54.

..who is facing extradition from Britain.

:05:54.:05:56.

Theresa May has insisted all day...

:05:56.:05:58.

..that the appeal was put forward too late.

:05:58.:06:01.

But the European Council said the application arrived...

:06:01.:06:04.

..before the closing date.

:06:04.:06:07.

Labour says the situation is a farce.

This man has

:06:18.:06:22.

This man has been a thorn in the side of a number of foreign

:06:22.:06:33.

secretaries over the years, and the case was the same today. He is

:06:33.:06:42.

facing charges involving terrorism in Jordan. He appealed against

:06:42.:06:46.

extradition to the European Court of Human Rights. The government is

:06:46.:06:55.

clear that he has no right since the three-month deadline to appeal

:06:55.:06:59.

lapsed at midnight on Monday. some legal experts believe the Home

:06:59.:07:05.

Office has made a mistake. And also that they have missed red of the

:07:05.:07:10.

timetable. Labour says it is a farce. -- Miss Read of the

:07:10.:07:17.

timetable. Yesterday it said the appeal deadline was Monday night,

:07:17.:07:29.

but the European Court said it was A panel of experts will decide who

:07:29.:07:39.

is right. For the time being, the decision has been postponed. This

:07:39.:07:52.

is a shambles and it lies in the hands of the Home Secretary. The

:07:52.:07:55.

question is about whether the deadline was on Monday night or

:07:55.:08:05.

Tuesday night. But some Conservative backbenchers have

:08:05.:08:12.

called for Britain to cut its links with the European Court of Human

Rights. We should support a reform of the Human Rights Act or pour out

of the Convention altogether. -- pour out. European justice

ministers were meeting in Britain today to discuss -- meeting in

:08:34.:08:48.

Brighton today to discuss How much of an embarrassment

:08:48.:09:03.

This is a difficult issue for Theresa May and her government

:09:03.:09:10.

ministers. They want to see Abu Qatada facing trial in Jordan. They

:09:10.:09:15.

believe he is a dangerous man and there is no room for him in Britain.

:09:16.:09:20.

This extra delay in the process is very frustrating for them. If it is

:09:20.:09:28.

a mistake, the government insists there wasn't one, but that would

:09:28.:09:41.

raise questions about Theresa May's running of the department. It would

:09:41.:09:49.

be a political risk for her. When can we expect to know whether the

:09:49.:09:54.

appeal has been successful? judges in Strasbourg will

:09:54.:10:00.

ultimately decide this. We don't expect a decision within a few days.

:10:00.:10:07.

They might come within a few weeks. But what will be worrying David

The jury is expected to consider its verdict tomorrow.

The Law Society has called on the Welsh Government...

:10:41.:10:44.

..to clarify the family's rights ifthe organ donation procedure changes.

The Law Society says it is not clear whether the family...

660 people are employed in these three centres and a consultation is

taking place regarding 150 of those posts. The company hopes that there

:12:33.:12:39.

will not be 150 redundancies, but they have warned that there will be

:12:39.:12:50.

cuts. More than 250 stores have been closed across Britain, and

:12:50.:12:59.

that means there is not much -- as much of a demand but these centres.

:12:59.:13:06.

The company said today that they have inherited the problem of

having to make savings, because the company had been in administration.

The elections, which are being held everywhere apart from Anglesey...

:13:59.:14:02.

..will be a challenge for every party, especially the Lib Dems.

In the first of a series of reports, Vaughan Roderick takes a look...

Cardiff is one of the most important councils in Wales. But

:14:37.:14:44.

this is the only council in Wales where all four parties have put up

:14:44.:14:56.

most candidates for the seat. The Liberal Democrats have grown in

:14:56.:15:07.

strength over the past few decades in Cardiff. After seeing the

Liberal Democrats losing Cardiff Central at the Assembly elections,

Labour are preparing for a fight this time around. People can see

:15:25.:15:32.

that their services are not as good as they were. There is a lot of

:15:32.:15:38.

criticism of the current administration. The Liberal

:15:38.:15:44.

Democrats are promising a lot of things, but it seems they have not

:15:44.:15:49.

fulfilled everything. It will be difficult for any party to gain

:15:49.:15:58.

complete control. There is a possibility of a number of

:15:58.:16:05.

coalitions. A lot of people have been telling us that they like the

:16:05.:16:15.

work that we have been doing. We have been working hard for our

communities. Will Rodney Berman leader Council after the election?

He may have to depend on Plaid Cymru once again. We are ready to

work with others. We will remain very positive. It is difficult to

:16:40.:16:45.

predict the result here in Cardiff. It is possible that the Liberal

:16:45.:16:49.

Democrats could hold their ground well enough to form a rainbow

:16:50.:16:55.

coalition after the election. But it is also possible that the party

:16:55.:17:05.

could lose half or more of its seats. The Liberal Democrats would
