:01:53. > :01:55.This morning, a minute's silence was held in the Welsh village

:01:58. > :02:01.ago when 116 children and 28 adults were killed.
:02:02. > :02:06.They died when an avalanche of coal waste ? 150,000 tonnes of it -
:02:07. > :02:09.slid down the hillside and engulfed the village primary school
:02:10. > :02:15.Around the half the children at the school were killed.

:02:25. > :02:31.Sophie, this is the entrance of the memorial garden where Pantglas
:02:32. > :02:35.school once stood. There have been many visitors here today. It has
:02:36. > :02:40.been difficult for some, but it has also been an opportunity for
:02:41. > :02:43.bereaved families, survivors and rescuers to be reunited.
:02:44. > :02:45.Early morning in Aberfan and a community coming together
:02:46. > :02:47.to remember the disaster 50 years ago.
:02:48. > :02:53.The site of Pantglas School is now a memorial garden.
:02:54. > :02:56.At 9:15, the moment classrooms were engulfed,
:02:57. > :03:20.And at the cemetery, high on the hillside.
:03:21. > :03:32.This was a time to remember the 144 people who died in a man-made
:03:33. > :03:44.disaster when liquefied coal waste slid down the mountainside.
:03:45. > :03:50.Eight-year-old Gerald Kirwan was in the second year juniors. He was one
:03:51. > :03:57.of the lucky ones, but his memories are still very raw. I could hear
:03:58. > :04:04.like, a rumbling, thunder. Like a jet aeroplane. A hell of a noise,
:04:05. > :04:10.didn't know what it was and we, like, looked up to the window and we
:04:11. > :04:15.have seen, like, a black mass coming to the window. I remember being
:04:16. > :04:20.pushed across the classroom to the back wall, the muck was up to my
:04:21. > :04:24.chest. We were just waiting, wondering, what had happened to
:04:25. > :04:31.cause the devastation we were trapped in. Where classrooms had
:04:32. > :04:32.once stood, today the Prince of Wales planted a tree, a tribute to
:04:33. > :04:54.the lost generation. No one should have to do bear the
:04:55. > :05:00.losses you suffered, but no one could have borne those losses with
:05:01. > :05:03.greater strength or greater courage. A balloon for each of the victims
:05:04. > :05:09.and a moment for Gerald Kirwan to share with his granddaughter, after
:05:10. > :05:17.keeping his emotions bottled up for half a century. We never, ever spoke
:05:18. > :05:29.about it, to my mother and father, my brothers, nobody. Even the
:05:30. > :05:38.children, there were only a few of us in that second year who survived.
:05:39. > :05:42.It was like... It was like our little dirty secret. But it had been
:05:43. > :05:46.a disaster that was waiting to happen. Coal waste had been dumped
:05:47. > :05:51.in huge tips on top of streams and natural springs on murder mountain.
:05:52. > :05:59.Local people were joined by miners in the search for survivors --
:06:00. > :06:02.Merthyr mountain. But as the hours passed, rescuers realised that the
:06:03. > :06:06.children they were now finding had all died. Many were looking for
:06:07. > :06:12.their own own sons and daughters. David Goldsworthy lost his
:06:13. > :06:16.ten-year-old brother that day. This is the first time he has returned to
:06:17. > :06:25.Aberfan on the anniversary itself from Canada, where he emigrated more
:06:26. > :06:36.than 40 years ago. Daredevil. He would have been 60 this year, in
:06:37. > :06:43.August. And the fact that I'd liked to have had a brother. No one was
:06:44. > :06:48.ever prosecuted for the lives that were lost, although the National
:06:49. > :06:54.Coal Board was found to be to blame. I can go back to that class in
:06:55. > :07:02.seconds. If I close my eyes, I'm there. And I don't imagine that will
:07:03. > :07:13.ever go away. Jeff Edwards was also in Pantglas
:07:14. > :07:17.school that day, in the same class as Gerald Kirwan. He was the last
:07:18. > :07:22.child to be carried out alive and he has helped organise today's events.
:07:23. > :07:27.What has today meant for the community of Aberfan? This morning
:07:28. > :07:31.at the cemetery was a very emotive thing for us and it always is. We
:07:32. > :07:36.remembered those people who lost their lives on that particular day,
:07:37. > :07:42.so always a very difficult time up at the cemetery, but at one o'clock,
:07:43. > :07:44.when the Prince of Wales came, the atmosphere was lightened
:07:45. > :07:49.considerably. The Prince took his time to speak to everybody walking
:07:50. > :07:53.down my road and he asked them what their involvement was in the
:07:54. > :07:58.disaster and how they got over the disaster, and what were their
:07:59. > :08:01.futures like? People started to speak openly about what happened on
:08:02. > :08:05.that day and I think that has been very cathartic for people and it has
:08:06. > :08:10.released a huge amount of emotion and energy and it has also brought
:08:11. > :08:16.the community back together. There are people who visited today that we
:08:17. > :08:21.haven't seen for 40 or 50 years and it has really gelled the community
:08:22. > :08:24.back into a real community, a community that is looking forward
:08:25. > :08:29.but also remembering the past and the terrible tragedy that took place
:08:30. > :08:37.50 years ago today, on the 25th of October. Because for many years,
:08:38. > :08:42.decades, Aberfan was a closed community to the outside world,
:08:43. > :08:46.people didn't want to talk about it. We didn't want to speak about it at
:08:47. > :08:49.all, really. I think that is one of the benefits of the Prince coming,
:08:50. > :08:54.they have opened up and I think they will find it very useful in coming
:08:55. > :08:57.to terms with the anxieties they have had over many years. So the
:08:58. > :09:02.visit has been very beneficial. Obviously, he brought a letter from
:09:03. > :09:06.the Queen of condolence to the community, which was very important
:09:07. > :09:10.to us. He spoke up the courage of the community and the determination
:09:11. > :09:15.of the community and that was an important message to give, but it
:09:16. > :09:20.also reflected the nation's sympathy for us, and those condolences, and
:09:21. > :09:24.that has helped us and supported us during this very difficult day
:09:25. > :09:29.today. Thank you so much for talking to us. This has been the story of
:09:30. > :09:31.Aberfan, one of such tragic loss but also a spirit of survival.
:09:32. > :09:33.Sian Lloyd, thank you. A 19-year-old man has been arrested
:09:34. > :09:35.under the Terrorism Act after a suspicious device was found

:10:08. > :10:12.It was early afternoon when they moved in on him on a busy

:10:17. > :10:20.This witness, who doesn't want his face shown, works close by.
:10:21. > :10:24.All of a sudden, I saw four or five men running towards this guy then
:10:25. > :10:27.they put him on the floor, they were shouting, saying
:10:28. > :10:30.And then I was looking from upstairs, they had him
:10:31. > :10:33.on the floor and he was struggling, obviously.
:10:34. > :10:40.Police used a Taser stun gun to overpower the 19-year-old.
:10:41. > :10:47.He was struggling not to be arrested, but in the end,
:10:48. > :10:50.they arrested him and they took him away.
:10:51. > :10:54.He's been detained after a security alert yesterday on the Tube network.
:10:55. > :10:57.A suspicious package was found on a train at North Greenwich
:10:58. > :11:01.station and was detonated in a controlled explosion.
:11:02. > :11:04.It is now being forensically examined.
:11:05. > :11:07.There are reports, unconfirmed by the police, that it contained
:11:08. > :11:14.Tonight, the suspect is being held on suspicion

:11:25. > :11:28.that she won't be sidelined during Brexit negotiations.
:11:29. > :11:31.She said that the UK would continue to "meet our rights

:12:01. > :12:06.My aim is to cement Britain as a close partner with the EU
:12:07. > :12:09.once we have left and the UK will continue to face
:12:10. > :12:12.similar challenges to our European neighbours.
:12:13. > :12:16.We will continue to share the same values and so I want a mature,
:12:17. > :12:20.cooperative relationship with our European partners.
:12:21. > :12:24.Do you really expect all 27 countries in the European Union
:12:25. > :12:26.to keep listening to Britain when we are quitting?
:12:27. > :12:31.Aren't they entitled, actually, to ignore us now?
:12:32. > :12:34.But as long as we are members of the European Union,
:12:35. > :12:37.we continue to meet our rights and obligations as members
:12:38. > :12:42.of the European Union and that has been welcomed and I think
:12:43. > :12:46.that is the right spirit and approach to take in this.
:12:47. > :12:48.We will continue to play our role, as I have done,
:12:49. > :12:58.I can assure you that I haven't been backwards
:12:59. > :13:02.Just listen to the EU's top official.
:13:03. > :13:04.How did the evening go with Theresa May?
:13:05. > :13:08.We had no special event with Theresa May yesterday.
:13:09. > :13:14.to stop influence draining away before we leave.
:13:15. > :13:16.She has all the experience, she knows the corridors,

:13:20. > :13:24.There's still business to do, on steel dumping, on Russia.
:13:25. > :13:29.How did you get on with Theresa May last night?
:13:30. > :13:33...that the UK still deserves to have a voice.
:13:34. > :13:36.This is so tricky for the Prime Minister because Britain
:13:37. > :13:39.has basically told the rest of the EU, we want a divorce,
:13:40. > :13:42.but we won't move out for two years and we still want to call the shots.
:13:43. > :13:45.Theresa May is keen to preserve as much influence as possible,
:13:46. > :13:49.but that will be irritating to the rest of the EU.
:13:50. > :13:53.It's been a grumpy summit all round, with tensions between its leaders
:13:54. > :13:57.on Brexit, and despite the Brussels' top brass's best efforts,
:13:58. > :14:02.an EU trade deal with Canada is being blocked by just one tiny part

:14:33. > :14:35.No sense, even, that our wishes will be a priority.

:15:25. > :15:33.Today, he was the one heading for jail, a 15 month sentence

:16:54. > :16:57.were there for News International, who continued to employ him,
:16:58. > :17:00.and I find it astonishing that he wasn't found out soon.
:17:01. > :17:03.And of course, all this follows the hacking scandal.

:19:33. > :19:36.The deployment itself is clearly directed,
:19:37. > :19:39.in the immediate sense, toward Syria, but it has a side
:19:40. > :19:42.benefit to the mentality of the present-day leaders
:19:43. > :19:44.of Russia, of showing that they still have a navy
:19:45. > :19:52.And the message to this country, in particular, is probably
:19:53. > :19:56.that their navy is more extensive than ours now.
:19:57. > :19:58.For ten years now Russia's been directing displays

:27:03. > :27:09.Today's sunshine has been topping and tailing the country and in
:27:10. > :27:12.between a fair amount of cloud. The best of the weather in Scotland and
:27:13. > :27:17.the south-west. If you don't believe me, take a look at this picture from
:27:18. > :27:20.the Shetland Islands and here, the south-west of Cornwall. Absolutely
:27:21. > :27:23.glorious. As we move towards a weekend it does look as though we
:27:24. > :27:27.will keep some decent weather for most of us. There will be some sunny
:27:28. > :27:30.spells as well. Early morning fog and frost could be an issue,
:27:31. > :27:34.particularly on Sunday, and most of the showers will be out to the east.
:27:35. > :27:38.Though showers continuing to spill in of the North Sea coast through

:28:01. > :28:04.These may well just push a little further inland through the
:28:05. > :28:07.afternoon, but generally speaking, not a bad afternoon. Those
:28:08. > :28:11.temperatures will sit around where they have been throughout the week.
:28:12. > :28:22.A little bit on the chilly side for this
:28:23. > :28:26.time of year at around 10-15d. As we go through Saturday night into
:28:27. > :28:29.Sunday morning, not much in the way of change. Fog could be an issue
:28:30. > :28:31.perhaps first thing on Sunday morning. The wind will start to
:28:32. > :28:34.strengthen because of this area of low pressure, but it won't arrive
:28:35. > :28:37.and bring any significant rain until the end of the day on Sunday. Sunday
:28:38. > :28:41.again, decent, dry with some sunny spells, a few isolated chows. When
:28:42. > :28:43.the fog clears, highs of 9-14. Enjoy.
