Good evening. After 18 years,

:00:05.:00:15.

His family is glad their long battle Had the police

:00:15.:00:18.

..I would have spent the last 18 years grieving for my son...

:00:18.:00:21.

..rather than fighting to get his killers to court.

:00:21.:00:26.

Also tonight:

:00:26.:00:27.

Stormy weather creates difficulties across Britain.

:00:27.:00:30.

In Wales, roads have been closed...

:00:30.:00:32.

..and people have had to leave their homes.

:00:32.:00:35.

There have been warnings of further rain.

:00:35.:00:37.

Who will be the next Plaid Cymru leader?

:00:37.:00:41.

Four candidates are likely to stand as the nomination process begins.

:00:41.:00:44.

The race for the White House.

:00:44.:00:46.

Voters in Iowa will declare tonight...

:00:46.:00:48.

..who they think should challenge President Obama.

:00:48.:01:05.

Two men, Gary Dobson and David Norris, have been found guilty...

:01:05.:01:08.

..of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, which took place 18 years ago.

:01:08.:01:14.

The jury at the Old Bailey decided the two men had played a part...

:01:14.:01:17.

..in the incident in 1993 when theblack youngster was stabbed to death.

:01:17.:01:21.

Since then, his parents, led by his mother Doreen...

:01:21.:01:25.

..have been campaigning for justice.

:01:25.:01:29.

Today, she said the original police investigation into the murder...

:01:29.:01:31.

..had been a failure.

:01:31.:01:33.

This report by Telor Iwan contains flash photography.

The parents of

:01:47.:01:52.

The parents of Stephen Lawrence leaving the Old Bailey after the

:01:52.:02:01.

verdict was read out. The case has led to criticism from

:02:01.:02:11.

the public. How can I celebrate when my son lays buried. Together

:02:11.:02:16.

with the lack of justice has meant I have not been able to rest all

:02:16.:02:22.

this time. I am therefore full of joy and relief that today, finally

:02:22.:02:28.

two of my son's killers will be convicted of his murder.

:02:28.:02:32.

It was clear from the start, that there was a racial motive to the

:02:32.:02:42.

killing. Dobson lied to an officer that he

:02:42.:02:47.

had not left his home on the night in question. Police had evidence to

:02:47.:03:08.

prove that wasn't the case. They also hid a camera and caught the

:03:08.:03:20.

defendants talking about racial hate crime. During a previous case

:03:20.:03:31.

the five defendants had to be protected by the police. There have

:03:31.:03:35.

been changes because of this case, to the way police handle hate

:03:35.:03:45.

crimes. There are still injustice and

:03:45.:03:54.

violence. We have a long way to go. New forensic techniques have been

:03:54.:04:00.

able to bring these men to court. These techniques were not available

:04:00.:04:11.

at the time of the murder. The murderers of Stephen Lawrence were

:04:11.:04:19.

still free. The Metropolitan Police reopened the case in 2006.

:04:19.:04:40.

Telor Iwan joins us now from outside It is fair to say this case has led

:04:40.:04:53.

to wide changes? The case has led to some changes. An apology was

:04:53.:05:01.

given for the handling of the case at the start.

:05:01.:05:10.

We have seen changes to the way police react to racially motivated

:05:10.:05:28.

crime. We have seen the same person being twice after the first case

:05:28.:05:44.

failed. MacPherson said five people were

:05:44.:05:57.

suspected early on. It took changes in forensic techniques to be able

:05:57.:06:08.

to bring these to justice. The father believes a few others need

:06:09.:06:25.

to be brought to justice. Witnesses Following a heavy storm overnight

:06:25.:06:31.

..there has been a warning of Scotland experienced

:06:31.:06:35.

..after trees fell on their vehicles.

:06:35.:06:37.

12 people had to be evacuated from their homes in Dolgellau...

:06:37.:06:39.

..after electric cables ignited.

:06:39.:06:47.

The

:06:47.:06:48.

The overnight

:06:48.:06:51.

The overnight storms

:06:51.:06:55.

The overnight storms had left its mark. In North Wales the River

:06:55.:07:01.

Conwy had burst its banks. There was a warning for the river tee.

:07:01.:07:15.

The River Taff overflowed in Pontcanna and Bute Park. Trains

:07:15.:07:22.

were stopped between Treherbert and Pontypridd because of the deluge.

:07:22.:07:35.

Trees had come down in many parts. There was a scare for people when

:07:35.:07:41.

electrical cables caught on fire. There were sparks everywhere at

:07:41.:07:52.

around 5.30am. There was the smell of burning. This trampoline fell on

:07:52.:08:03.

a car in Bala and many were damaged across the country.

:08:03.:08:11.

One man had died in England after a tree fell on his car. Another man

:08:11.:08:17.

was seriously injured in Surrey after a tree fell on his vehicle.

:08:17.:08:24.

Winds of more than 100 miles per hour were recorded, especially in

:08:24.:08:30.

Scotland. There has been a warning of more stormy weather over the

:08:30.:08:49.

Sara Gibson joins us now The winds have died down now,

:08:49.:08:56.

compared to what we had overnight. People were out early this morning

:08:56.:09:05.

trying to clear branches and trees from the road. Around 4,000 homes

:09:05.:09:15.

in West Wales were left without power after cables came down. The

:09:15.:09:28.

main worry tonight is flooding. There are about ten rivers at the

:09:28.:09:33.

first level. That's much better than it was this morning. There

:09:33.:09:38.

were 29 at this level. The river tee is still at the highest --

:09:39.:09:42.

River Tee is still at the highest level. Fortunately the weather has

:09:43.:09:50.

calmed down and we can see the weather just dropping a little.

:09:50.:09:54.

main worry for tomorrow, it could be a same situation because more

:09:54.:09:59.

rain is on the way. Yes. There will be a lot more rain coming in

:09:59.:10:02.

tomorrow afternoon. It will be coming into North Wales and then

:10:02.:10:15.

into mid-Wales, then it will be spreading to the south.

:10:15.:10:29.

The land is saturated with water, so the levels may rise quickly now.

:10:29.:10:42.

Today was an important milestone in The nomination period

:10:42.:10:47.

..have already suggested they will stand.

:10:47.:10:49.

We can now go over to Cardiff Bay to our Political Editor, Betsan Powys.

:10:49.:10:53.

It's a busy start to 2012 for Plaid Cymru.

:10:53.:10:58.

That's partly due to what happened to the party last year.

:10:58.:11:02.

Following a disappointing result at the Assembly elections...

:11:02.:11:06.

..the party is about to publish the result of an internal review...

:11:06.:11:13.

..and hold an election for a new party leader.

:11:13.:11:26.

This

:11:26.:11:27.

This isn't

:11:27.:11:27.

This isn't a

:11:27.:11:32.

This isn't a familiar game for Plaid Cymru. There hasn't been a

:11:32.:11:40.

leadership contest for a decade. Ieuan Wyn Jones is about to hand

:11:40.:11:51.

over the reigns. So far there are four candidates. Elin Jones is the

:11:51.:11:58.

favourite. I want to make sure that everyone who has ambitions for

:11:58.:12:06.

Wales, playing a part in Plaid Cymru, no matter what their

:12:06.:12:19.

background. Simon Thomas is the member for Mid and West Wales.

:12:19.:12:24.

can work with different levels of the Government. We need to try and

:12:24.:12:36.

lead more and unite people with our vision. Leanne Wood represents

:12:36.:12:43.

South Wales central. She is the latest to join the contest.

:12:43.:12:51.

could not solve our economic problems or protect our communities

:12:51.:12:55.

without independents. That is what I believe Plaid Cymru needs to

:12:55.:13:05.

concentrate on. Lord Elis Thomas is the most e peernsed member in the

:13:05.:13:12.

contest. -- experienced member in the contest. Up until last May he

:13:12.:13:20.

was the Lywydd. The phones at Plaid Cymru's headquarters have been busy

:13:20.:13:28.

over the Christmas period. Staff are trying to attract new members.

:13:28.:13:36.

It is important that the new leader is someone who has a lot of ideas.

:13:36.:13:47.

We need someone with energy and ideas for the future. An internal

:13:47.:13:53.

review will be published shortly. There is plenty for the new leader

:13:53.:14:02.

to consider. A lot of hard work needs to be done to win the support

:14:03.:14:09.

of the party faithful. We shall find out who the new leader is on

:14:09.:14:29.

She is not a clear favourite. She is Elin Jones. Leanne Wood is the

:14:29.:14:36.

favourite of the left-wing of the party. Lord Elis Thomas is a

:14:36.:14:47.

favourite with more traditional members.

:14:47.:14:52.

This will be a proportional vote, so the second preference of first

:14:52.:14:59.

preference will play an important role. We heard about an internal

:14:59.:15:06.

review, with a new leader, will the party be hoping for a new period?

:15:06.:15:12.

That is the message. They held a football match today to discuss the

:15:12.:15:21.

idea of tactics and the way the party works together as a team.

:15:21.:15:25.

Voters will be looking at their party at the time of election. It

:15:25.:15:33.

is the leader that gets the message across. This is a time when Plaid

:15:33.:15:45.

Cymru will be discussing core values such as its message, what

:15:45.:15:50.

does the idea of independence mean for the people of Wales? What can

:15:50.:15:55.

Plaid Cymru do regarding the economy and so on? So, there are

:15:55.:15:58.

some important issues to be discussed over the next couple of

:15:58.:16:07.

An inquest into the deaths of ..as a result of a car accident

:16:07.:16:14.

Sasha Jarvis, who was 19-years-old ..and Sian Gwenllian Lloyd Davies

:16:14.:16:16.

..died after the car they were travelling in...

:16:16.:16:18.

..collided with a wall in Llanrug.

:16:18.:16:20.

The families of both women have paid tribute to them.

:16:20.:16:25.

Two wards at Wrexham Maelor Hospital remain closed...

:16:25.:16:28.

..following a number of cases of the Norovirus stomach bug.

:16:28.:16:32.

According to the authorities, it isnot clear when they will be reopened.

:16:32.:16:35.

A ward at Mold Community Hospital is also closed because of the bug.

:16:35.:16:41.

Following the discovery of a woman's body...

:16:41.:16:44.

..on the Queen's Sandringham estate...

:16:44.:16:46.

..police say they are dealing with a case of murder.

:16:46.:16:48.

The remains were found in woodland on New Year's Day.

:16:48.:16:51.

Police are considering whether the case has a possible connection...

:16:51.:16:54.

..to other cases in Britain.

:16:54.:16:58.

Not for the first time, gunlicensing has become a talking point.

:16:58.:17:02.

This follows the deaths of four people at a house in Durham.

:17:02.:17:06.

It's believed that Michael Atherton, a 42-year-old taxi driver...

:17:06.:17:09.

..killed his partner and two other women before he killed himself.

:17:09.:17:14.

He owned six guns and he was already known by the police.

:17:15.:17:27.

Police

:17:27.:17:28.

Police are

:17:28.:17:28.

Police are still

:17:29.:17:35.

Police are still investigating the house at Horden near Peterlee.

:17:35.:17:40.

Michael Atherton shot three women dead. One of those was Tanya

:17:40.:17:48.

Turnbull. Her mother was shot and as well as her Aunty, who was

:17:48.:17:56.

Michael Atherton's partner. Michael Atherton had legal licences for the

:17:56.:18:03.

guns. Questions have been raised once

:18:03.:18:15.

more about the gun licence laws. The rules in this country are some

:18:15.:18:27.

of the strictest rules that we have in the world. The greatest problem

:18:27.:18:38.

we have are the illegal weapons people have. There has been other

:18:38.:18:44.

cases. One of the most recent ones happened in Cumbria when 12 people

:18:44.:18:58.

were shot. I took part in the Dunblane enquiry. I don't see how

:18:58.:19:08.

things can be changed. Is the medical profession giving

:19:08.:19:19.

enough evidence to the police The Health Secretary for England,

:19:19.:19:25.

..regarding silicone implants of inferior quality.

:19:25.:19:28.

These were given to around 40,000 women.

:19:28.:19:30.

The French government has banned them...

:19:30.:19:32.

..stating that they are more likely to rupture compared to others.

:19:32.:19:34.

Two minor injury units in Pembrokeshire...

:19:34.:19:37.

..will close temporarily from today.

:19:37.:19:39.

Health officials say the units atTenby and Pembroke Dock must close...

:19:39.:19:43.

..so that nurses can be transferred...

:19:43.:19:46.

..to the A&E unit at Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest.

:19:46.:19:51.

But there are concern locally that these units will not be reopened.

:19:51.:20:01.

We

:20:01.:20:04.

We is

:20:04.:20:04.

We is --

:20:04.:20:07.

We is -- have not seen the effect this will have on the ambulance

:20:08.:20:11.

service. We have not seen an assessment of the effect it will

:20:11.:20:16.

have on Withybush Hospital. Will that hospital be able to cope

:20:16.:20:27.

In America, the 2012 US Presidential This year, six Republican candidates

:20:27.:20:31.

One of the favourites is Mitt Romney,the former Governor of Massachusetts.

:20:31.:20:34.

The first task is to secure the support of the electorate in Iowa.

:20:34.:20:43.

On

:20:43.:20:44.

On the

:20:44.:20:45.

On the ice

:20:45.:20:56.

On the ice of Iowa, the Presidential campaign begins. Who

:20:56.:21:13.

will take on Barack Obama for presidency of the White House? The

:21:13.:21:17.

heat of the battle has come across the Atlantic to Cardiff. I have

:21:17.:21:27.

been speaking to some Americans who have made their home here. Mitt

:21:27.:21:36.

Romney is more telly again nick than the others. To be looking at

:21:36.:21:45.

that level you can see that he is younger. He looks after himself.

:21:45.:21:49.

Quite superficial, but that is what people look at. Some people don't

:21:49.:21:59.

follow all the debate. He seems to be the most honest of

:21:59.:22:04.

the Republican candidates. He has been saying the same things

:22:04.:22:15.

for many years. I do have family connections. He represents lap lake

:22:15.:22:24.

Jackson. I have met him. That is where my family are from.

:22:24.:22:36.

I'm not sure if the politics of Ron Paul will match that of most

:22:36.:22:41.

Republicans. You get a lot of people who are right-wing all the

:22:41.:22:50.

way, but these candidates will have to broaden their appeal to get

:22:50.:23:01.

everyone else. How close will the race be? Will Barack Obama lose his

:23:01.:23:09.

place? He could do because a lot of the machinery with the Republicans

:23:09.:23:16.

has been showing some of the failings of President Obama. Those

:23:16.:23:26.

are the views of three people who Swansea City have won their first

:23:26.:23:31.

..the Swans are now in 11th place in the table.

Cardiff City and Wrexham also had a good start to the year.

in the Premiership. At the start of a New Year it plans to make changes.

:24:02.:24:09.

Nathan Dyer took advantage of a mistake by Aston Villa to score.

:24:09.:24:16.

Swansea City had yielded an early advantage in the past. They made

:24:16.:24:24.

sure of their switch made by Wayne Routledge. Swansea City will now

:24:24.:24:33.

look to the third roubld of the FA Cup. -- round of the FA Cup. 20 12

:24:33.:24:39.

has been kind to Cardiff City. They had won the match before the end of

:24:39.:24:48.

the first half. The final score was 3-1.

:24:48.:24:53.

The Bluebirds have now gone up to within two points of the top of the

:24:53.:25:00.

championship. In the Blue Square premier, Wrexham have an increasing

:25:00.:25:15.

lead at the top. 18 years after being stabbed

:25:15.:25:19.

New forensic evidenceproved to be crucial for the case...

:25:19.:25:21.

..and the jury at the Old Bailey...

Both will be sentenced tomorrow.

Following a heavy storm overnight and this morning...
