Good evening.

It's a condition which kills almost 2,000 people in Wales every year.

If it isn't treated quickly enough, one in three people with Sepsis die.

But would you recognise the symptoms?

The number of cases increases by 10% every year...

..and a new campaign is being launched to recognise...

..the early signs of blood poisoning, or septicemia.

college friends came in to see me and I was living on my own inner

room at the time and they took my parents one side and said they

didn't realise how ill I was. occurs when the body overreacts to

an illness. If it is not treated quickly the organs fail and

statistics suggest a third of people with the condition die. Sepsis

claims over 1800 lives in Wales every year. Across Britain, the

figure is 37,000. That means someone dies from sepsis every 14 minutes.

That is more than breast cancer and: Cancer. The health Minister came to

meet these patients at the University Hospital of Wales in

Cardiff as they marked National sepsis day. We are fortunate in

Wales because we have had a campaign for a number of years and we can use

the techniques they have developed over the years to help the staff who

work in the field to recognise sepsis and to understand what they

can do to treat it. But what are the symptoms? According to the British

sepsis society, they include speaking clearly, going for hours

without passing water and being short of breath, but it can be

relatively easy to treat. We monitor the patient and then we ask a doctor

to give them antibiotics and fluids. This woman considers herself very

The Welsh Government is promising a new campaign in the autumn...

..to provide information to parents...

..on the advantages of a Welsh-medium education.

It comes as experts from across the world meet in Carmarthen...

..to discuss the benefits of a bilingual education.

Wales receive a bilingual education at a time when the number of Welsh

speakers is falling. However, the advantages of a bilingual education

are obvious, according to experts who have gathered at Trinity

College. There is evidence that bilingual children are better able

to focus their attention. They have better awareness of language and

what you can do with language, because they have had more

experience in processing language. Even the meerkat has learned Welsh.

But is enough being done to promote bilingual education in Wales?

According to the Welsh Language Board, the Welsh Government could do

more. Part of the process is to make sure that information is provided.

The other thing is political support. The Welsh Government needs

to be far more proactive in explaining the advantages of a

bilingual education. Both for individuals and the country.

Welsh Government says there will be a campaign in the autumn to provide

parents with all the facts to help them choose the right education for

their children. In Carmarthen, this man says his children received a

bilingual education. I think it paid off because they are in university

now. Have you got children? No. you did, would you want them to have

a bilingual education? Yes. Welsh would be their first language.

means it literally casts a shadow over the memorial. But it is hoped

this memorial will help people get over what happened here two years

Morgan came here to retire. This beautiful village was a lot quieter

than usual today. The hearse arrived carrying the red Dragon. Here's one

of the nicest men I have ever met. He treated everyone the same. He is

a big loss for rugby in Wales, for Wales as a country. There were

famous faces and friends from all over the country. They wanted to pay

the last tribute to Cliff, a Welshman through and through.

from a village in the top of the valleys. It had an influence on

everyone who was born there. Everyone loved Cliff. And he loved

everyone else. The 1973 match he will always be synonymous with that.

500 people were expected here today, which means many mourners are

listening to the story of that try outside. This is Gareth Edwards, a

dramatic start. What a score. Everywhere I go, people ask me, how

is Cliff Morgan? It comes down to that try. How will you remember

Cliff? A kind man who always had time for everyone. He had strong

opinions, but he was there for you. I got to know him more as a man who

was a lot of fun. There were plenty of memories shared here today.

special about him. It is a very sad day. At the same time we wanted to

thank him for everything he did, not just on the rugby field and on

television. He was such a nice person. The close family finally

feet, the years of training are paying off. With a victory in Madrid

in June and three silver medals during the series, Non Stanford has

her eye on the top spot. It has been an excellent season. Last year I

never thought I would be in this position going into the grand final.

So I am really looking forward to Saturday. And this is the finish

line. The race will start in Hyde Park tomorrow morning. Before she

swims, cycles and runs to the finishing line. This is how it

stands at the moment. Non Stanford is in third place. The winner of the

final race will collect 1200 points. It is very close at the top. If she

can finish ahead of the two athletes above her, she will be crowned world

champion. I am hoping to finish on the podium. That is my goal. But I

do put a lot of pressure on myself because I want to do well. I have to

do my best and that is all I can do. After swimming, cycling and

running, by 10:30am tomorrow morning Non Stanford could be world

champion. That would come a year after winning the title for those

souls have to be at their best every time they perform. One mistake and

the consequences could be tragic. Especially as it is Friday the 13th.

The World Cliff Diving Championships have returned to Wales this year.

From the moment the diver leave the platform it takes three seconds to

reach the water. You have got to admire their bravery. The platform

is 27 metres high. When they hit the water, they are travelling at over

50 miles an hour. This is part of a global circuit and there are three

Brits among the 12 competitors. do a lot of work in Olympic diving

pools but there is no way to train at 27 metres. So we have got to do

the best we can with what we have got. 2500 people are expected to

visit today and tomorrow, with every ticket sold. They are mad! When you

see how hard -- how high the diving board is, it is nuts. Hitting the

water is the problem, but they all come out all right. The event is a

major boost for tourism in the area. We have got 70 members of staff

staying in the local area. There are members of the security teams and

the logistic teams. There are also 200 people staying nearby campus --

year. It is excellent. I can't wait to see the Manic Street Preachers.

We are here for three days. Despite my age we are camping. I go to a lot

of festivals anyway. It is fantastic. I would say it is very

well organised. There is plenty going on. Many people have said this

festival is unlike any other and the main reason for that is the

location. There are so many different highlights. Jan Morris is

going to read from a book she has written. And you are trying to build

on the success of last year. Exactly. We were delighted last year

and we are hoping to develop the festival. We are expecting around

10,000 people. But you can't organise the weather. Sadly not. I

am sure it will be better tomorrow! But everyone seems to be happy and

having a good time. With so much going on everyone is enjoying

themselves. The entertainment continues tonight into the early

hours. The music on the smaller stage has come to an end but there

is still plenty going on on the main stage. The highlight is on Sunday
