:00:58. > :01:02.scapegoat after a fostered teenager seriously sexually abused two young

:01:02. > :01:08.children. Made in Wales. We are looking at a manufacturing success

:01:27. > :01:29.And back with the Bluebirds. Robert Earnshaw says he is going home. It

:01:30. > :01:32.is the biggest trial of police officers in British legal history.

:01:32. > :01:35.Today, a jury heard how eight corrupt policemen colluded to send

:01:35. > :01:38.five innocent men to jail for the brutal murder of a Cardiff

:01:38. > :01:41.prostitute. Lynette White was killed in 1988 in a flat in the

:01:42. > :01:51.docks area of Cardiff. The officers all deny conspiracy to pervert the

:01:51. > :01:55.course of justice and two other people deny perjury. It is thought

:01:56. > :01:59.to be the biggest trial of police officers in legal history. It is

:01:59. > :02:03.more than 20 years since Lynette White was murdered in the flat she

:02:03. > :02:09.work from as a prostitute. She was stabbed more than 50 times. A court

:02:09. > :02:13.was told how former police officers may be debated, influenced and

:02:13. > :02:17.fabricated evidence. In the opening statement of the prosecution, they

:02:17. > :02:27.said it resulted in five innocent people being prosecuted. Three were

:02:27. > :02:31.convicted for murder. It was story emerged as part of the case.

:02:32. > :02:37.The prosecutors said it was exactly that, a story. It was a fiction.

:02:37. > :02:41.That explains how Lynette White and these five men came together. But

:02:41. > :02:47.why would they want to carry out an attack against a woman somebody

:02:47. > :02:49.barely knew? It was entirely a fabrication and was largely in the

:02:49. > :02:55.product of the imagination, theories and the least of the

:02:55. > :03:01.officers on the case, said the prosecution. It resulted in these

:03:01. > :03:04.men being convicted of the murder of Lynette White in 1990. In 1992,

:03:05. > :03:10.the convictions of the Cardiff Three as they were called, were

:03:10. > :03:14.quashed by the Court of Appeal and they were released. 11 years later,

:03:14. > :03:19.the real killer was brought to justice. He was a former client of

:03:19. > :03:24.Lynette White and was caught by DNA technology. He was sentenced to

:03:24. > :03:29.life imprisonment. An inquiry was launched to establish what went

:03:29. > :03:32.wrong in the original investigation. It resulted in a trial of eight

:03:32. > :03:37.former police officers and two witnesses from the original trial

:03:37. > :03:43.accused of perverting the course of justice. The court was given

:03:43. > :03:49.evidence from one of the witnesses who also faces a charge of perjury.

:03:49. > :03:56.The prosecution says the statement contains lies. The prosecutor asked

:03:56. > :04:00.why did she like in a statement, we cannot say. It is possible she had

:04:00. > :04:05.been primed by police officers working on a case that had already

:04:05. > :04:08.stalled. For men and a police officer also jointly accused of

:04:08. > :04:13.perverting the course of justice and will stand trial separately

:04:13. > :04:18.next year. The commission says they think it is the biggest police a

:04:18. > :04:26.trial in British legal history. The jury has been told it could last

:04:26. > :04:30.six months or longer. A disqualified member of the assembly

:04:30. > :04:35.has been reinstated. He stood down after the election because he

:04:35. > :04:39.belonged to a public body from which AMs are barred. But it was

:04:39. > :04:48.revealed he was misled by guidance for election candidates published

:04:48. > :04:54.This was about a crucial point of constitutional legislation. It was

:04:54. > :05:00.also about one man had one empty seat. Should Aled Roberts, a former

:05:00. > :05:04.council leader at Wrexham be reinstated? Investigation found he

:05:04. > :05:10.had done everything he reasonably could to get everything right. The

:05:10. > :05:14.legislation as he saw it was wrong. That for some, was enough.

:05:14. > :05:19.question is whether it is reasonable and credible that he

:05:19. > :05:24.access to the Welsh Language Web site without cross referencing to

:05:24. > :05:29.the English side? This is what he claims he did and as a natural

:05:29. > :05:34.Welsh speaker, that seems perfectly credible. This was not about the

:05:34. > :05:38.Welsh language, others argued. It was about ignorance. It sets an

:05:38. > :05:46.important precedent. Many were sympathetic but not convinced he

:05:46. > :05:51.should return. I am very sorry for the candidate. I think he has been

:05:51. > :05:55.reasonable but ignorance of the law is not an excuse. The individual

:05:55. > :05:59.question for members to judge is whether this will be used an

:05:59. > :06:05.extraordinary occasion where the law and the consequences should be

:06:05. > :06:13.set aside. I cannot agree that this is such an extraordinary

:06:13. > :06:19.circumstance. Then, the vote. abstentions. 20 against. The motion

:06:19. > :06:27.is carried. With strong support from the Labour Cabinet, Aled

:06:27. > :06:29.Roberts was back. Among the people taking part was this woman, saving

:06:29. > :06:34.the second of the two from the Liberal Democrats, abandoned

:06:34. > :06:40.yesterday. It meant a return for the woman that would have replaced

:06:40. > :06:44.Aled Roberts. I am taking a deep breath and trying to get my life

:06:44. > :06:48.back because it has been on hold and very difficult. The party

:06:48. > :06:51.admitted they could have done more to check the legislation. They

:06:51. > :06:57.criticised the party that should help candidates get things right

:06:57. > :07:01.and not give them unhelpful information. I have apologised for

:07:01. > :07:07.that and it is not where we are meant to be. It is very important

:07:07. > :07:11.for the election in Wales. We have changed procedures under Bentley.

:07:11. > :07:17.after eight weeks, one of the two from the Liberal Democrats had

:07:17. > :07:21.supplied. But after the party described the situation as a

:07:21. > :07:25.shambles, every single political party and the Electoral Commission

:07:25. > :07:35.will redouble their efforts to make certain this never happens again.

:07:35. > :07:37.

:07:37. > :07:43.With me now is the reinstated assembly member, Aled Roberts.

:07:43. > :07:50.relieved because it has been a very difficult time for me and my family.

:07:50. > :08:00.John is not in the same position as I am receding. It was very close.

:08:00. > :08:02.

:08:02. > :08:07.30 in favour and 20 against. Not a ringing endorsement. 30 obviously

:08:07. > :08:11.looked at the report provided. I thought it was very comprehensive.

:08:11. > :08:16.I think the one thing that has happened is that the matter has

:08:16. > :08:26.been fully investigated in the last two months. I am thankful to the

:08:26. > :08:26.

:08:27. > :08:33.assembly members that supported me today. As you have pointed out, we

:08:33. > :08:39.have had to do some convincing for the other 20 people. How is it the

:08:39. > :08:43.guide in English is different compared to the Welsh language?

:08:43. > :08:48.guidance in English and Welsh was actually incorrect in the printed

:08:48. > :08:54.version. The difference between the languages was the e-mail forwarded

:08:54. > :09:00.back in March. Until the police interview, I believed both e-mails

:09:00. > :09:06.were incorrect. I think there are lessons to be learnt by a number of

:09:06. > :09:12.organisations, including my party as a result. The circumstances put

:09:12. > :09:18.me in a bad situation. One of your party members described it as a

:09:18. > :09:22.cock up. What lessons do you think your party needs to learn? In the

:09:22. > :09:29.first instance, the assembly must learn that this is a law-making

:09:29. > :09:34.body. I think the procedures within Westminster appear to be more

:09:34. > :09:37.detailed and in the assembly. Certainly there appears to be an

:09:37. > :09:40.issue with regard to communication between the assembly and the

:09:41. > :09:47.Electoral Commission. There are issues between the administration

:09:47. > :09:52.of candidates, and nominations from my party. It is clear that there

:09:52. > :10:01.are issues for our houses and I am sure as has been stated, all

:10:01. > :10:08.parties will be anxious to make Our Welsh affairs editor is in the

:10:08. > :10:13.Senedd. Not the finest hour for the Liberal Democrats? It is not their

:10:13. > :10:19.finest hour. There were cheers on the first floor of the Liberal

:10:19. > :10:24.Democrat offices. But they just got one of the two candidates back. The

:10:24. > :10:29.parties had to put a lot of effort and struggle in the past couple of

:10:29. > :10:33.months to achieving even that. With me is the leader of the Welsh

:10:33. > :10:39.Liberal Democrats, Kirsty Williams. You must be relieved but you must

:10:39. > :10:43.accept some responsibility. We have come back from the very beginning.

:10:43. > :10:49.We have apologised to the assembly as a whole for our involvement in

:10:49. > :10:52.that and they will be an internal inquiry. We will find a final

:10:52. > :10:58.resolution and the will or lessons to make certain this never happens

:10:58. > :11:04.again. It makes the party look amateur, doesn't it? Does that not

:11:04. > :11:11.reflect on your leadership? We will reflect on how we have handled

:11:11. > :11:14.advised to candidates after this debacle. We have asked people to

:11:14. > :11:19.come to the conference and had training sessions. We will need to

:11:19. > :11:26.do more and I acknowledge that. We will not find ourselves in that

:11:26. > :11:32.position again. What deals did you do and what favours do you now own?

:11:32. > :11:37.What did you promise Carwyn Jones? Nothing at all. The assembly

:11:37. > :11:41.members were asked to vote on a set of legal principles on the basis of

:11:41. > :11:44.an independent report and I am very grateful that they took the

:11:44. > :11:49.findings and the legal advice into consideration and did what I think

:11:49. > :11:54.is the right thing in allowing Aled Roberts to come back to do what he

:11:54. > :11:58.was elected to do and represents the people of North Wales. Do the

:11:58. > :12:02.electoral commission have a price to pay? A number of organisations

:12:02. > :12:06.will have to reflect on their part in this case, not least my party as

:12:06. > :12:11.I said at the beginning. That is not for today but we will do that

:12:12. > :12:15.in the weeks and months to come. The post-mortem begins not just for

:12:15. > :12:23.the Liberal Democrats but the organisations involved in this

:12:24. > :12:26.extraordinary soap opera that has A social worker said to have missed

:12:26. > :12:30.opportunities to prevent a teenager seriously sexually abusing two

:12:30. > :12:34.young children has said he has been made a scapegoat. The 19 year old

:12:34. > :12:37.was placed by social services with a foster family who were not told

:12:37. > :12:40.about his previous inappropriate sexual behaviour. Social worker

:12:40. > :12:49.Julian Swan denies allegations of misconduct at the hearing of the

:12:49. > :12:56.Care Council for Wales. Here is our correspondent. What is the

:12:56. > :13:01.background to this case? Is it goes back to 2008 when he teenager about

:13:01. > :13:05.to depart the care system was being placed with a foster family. They

:13:05. > :13:09.did not realise he posed a serious risk to young children are. They

:13:09. > :13:16.were not told and he went on to sexually abuse their two young

:13:16. > :13:20.children. He was later jailed and the council has unreservedly

:13:20. > :13:25.apologised to the family. The hearing today was to establish

:13:25. > :13:32.whether the social worker was guilty of misconduct, a accusation

:13:32. > :13:36.that he denies. What has been said in the hearing? The main issue

:13:36. > :13:40.examines today was whether it was his job to look at the past history

:13:40. > :13:45.on the files or if he could take the word of his colleagues who were

:13:46. > :13:51.passing the case on to him as fact. He did the latter and as a result a

:13:51. > :13:56.critical report was not noticed in the files. He said, he gave his

:13:56. > :13:59.evidence today and he said he felt he was being made a scapegoat. He

:13:59. > :14:04.said he would have acted differently with hindsight but he

:14:04. > :14:10.had acted in good faith. He said there is a shared responsibility. I

:14:10. > :14:14.have been instigated by the Vale of Glamorgan council. It was a

:14:14. > :14:18.colleague but found the relevant information. He said he had been

:14:18. > :14:23.alerted to previous problems by the father of the teenager who said

:14:23. > :14:27.something like this had happened before. He said he pulled the files

:14:27. > :14:37.onto the floor and found the information in about half an hour,

:14:37. > :14:39.

:14:39. > :14:43.45 minutes. Proceedings continue 122 jobs are to go at Zurich

:15:18. > :15:22.Rebekah Brooks, the Chief Executive of News of the Worlds' parent

:15:22. > :15:26.company, News International. Mr Bryant told the commons, debating

:15:26. > :15:29.the phone-hacking scandal, that the newspaper's actions were immoral.

:15:29. > :15:33.It follows allegations that phones, including that of murdered

:15:33. > :15:40.schoolgirl Milly Dowler, were hacked. Mr Bryant also believes his

:15:40. > :15:45.mobile phone was hacked by the paper.

:15:45. > :15:51.These are not just the a moral actions of some alone private

:15:51. > :15:56.investigator, tied to a rogue 7/7 reporter. They are the immoral and

:15:56. > :16:00.criminal deeds of an organisation which was appallingly lead and

:16:00. > :16:03.completely lost sight of any decency or shared humanity.

:16:03. > :16:07.The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, has been in London today to meet

:16:07. > :16:09.the Chancellor, George Osborne. Mr Jones has been calling for changes

:16:10. > :16:11.to the way the Welsh Government is funded from Westminster. Our

:16:12. > :16:17.parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock, is in Westminster. David,

:16:17. > :16:22.what happened? Relations between Wales and

:16:22. > :16:24.Westminster have been thought of late. You could be forgiven for

:16:24. > :16:30.expecting that today's first meeting between the First Minister

:16:30. > :16:34.and the Chancellor would be equally tense, but it turned out to be

:16:35. > :16:40.offended, positive vacation. Carwyn Jones got a free cup of copy -- cup

:16:40. > :16:45.of coffee. He also got his chance to put the case that Wales is

:16:45. > :16:49.underfunded compared to the rest of the UK, from the UK government, and

:16:49. > :16:53.to put the case for Wales to have further borrowing powers so the

:16:53. > :16:57.Welsh government can take more on schools and hospitals. He emerged

:16:57. > :17:02.from the Treasury after about an hour to explain why he had been

:17:02. > :17:09.surprised by the Chancellor. The fact that he was not closing of

:17:09. > :17:14.any avenues, the fact that he understood to be under situation in

:17:14. > :17:17.Wales. I look forward now to working with the Chancellor and

:17:17. > :17:22.other ministers of the UK government to will move forward

:17:22. > :17:25.with a funding package for Wales. Carwyn Jones sounding pleasantly

:17:26. > :17:30.surprised by the Chancellor. What did the Treasury say?

:17:30. > :17:33.George Osborne was in listening mode today and that has been

:17:33. > :17:38.strengthened by what Carwyn Jones had to say. We will see some rapid

:17:38. > :17:42.progress over the next few weeks, possibly within the next week we

:17:42. > :17:47.will get the name of the man who -- of the person who will chair the

:17:48. > :17:52.commission on how Wales is funded by the UK. We are expecting that

:17:52. > :17:56.announcement to be made possibly as soon as next Tuesday, when senior

:17:56. > :18:01.ministers are visiting Wales. They will have a year to come up with

:18:01. > :18:03.their findings. That will be the crunch, will the UK government act

:18:03. > :18:05.on it? Still to come in Wales Today. Star

:18:05. > :18:14.somersaulting striker Robert Earnshaw is back with the Bluebirds

:18:14. > :18:21.- but what do the fans make of it? Fantastic signing for the club.

:18:22. > :18:25.Nice to see him coming back. And I am in Llangollen, where rain

:18:25. > :18:34.held off for much of the day but we are in for a good soaking this

:18:34. > :18:37.evening. Join me later for a full weather forecast.

:18:37. > :18:40.The financial crisis led to -- The financial crisis led many to

:18:40. > :18:42.call for the economic recovery to be driven by a growth in

:18:42. > :18:45.manufacturing. Today the UK Business Secretary Vince Cable

:18:45. > :18:48.launched a campaign to celebrate manufacturing excellence. This week,

:18:48. > :18:51.we're doing the same with our own Made In Wales series. We start

:18:51. > :19:01.tonight with the Dow Corning chemical plant in Barry. Here's our

:19:01. > :19:01.

:19:01. > :19:05.business correspondent Nick Servini. Pipes, towers and warehouses on the

:19:05. > :19:10.160 acre site of the Dow Corning chemical plant dominates the

:19:10. > :19:16.streets around Barry. From here, a workforce of nearly 600 suppliers

:19:16. > :19:23.Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Most people probably have

:19:23. > :19:29.no idea what they supply a, so much of the world with.

:19:29. > :19:35.What we make here is silicone us. It is a family of materials ranging

:19:35. > :19:40.from watery, Fine fluids, all the way up to rubbers and sealant.

:19:40. > :19:45.There you have the answer from the site manager. He also shows me the

:19:45. > :19:50.closest thing they have to a finished silicone product.

:19:50. > :19:54.Before it gets to this stage, the raw material, a treated form of

:19:54. > :19:57.sand, is brought into the country from all over the world. It also

:19:57. > :20:03.goes through the chemical process in the towers and pipes that are

:20:03. > :20:07.here. The end product is found in a diverse range of goods from make-up

:20:07. > :20:11.to the rollers found in photocopying machine to engine

:20:11. > :20:15.parts. The unique thing about silicone is

:20:15. > :20:20.that it tends to be highly resistant to weather conditions,

:20:20. > :20:24.holding up under high temperatures. When they are put into products

:20:24. > :20:28.like shampoos and and lotions, they tend to give products a silky

:20:28. > :20:32.feeling. The miles of pipes on the site are

:20:32. > :20:38.monitored from this control room. Maintenance is a big part of the

:20:38. > :20:42.operation. They spend more than �2 million per year on paint alone.

:20:42. > :20:46.Jobs here are said to be highly sought-after. The basic wage

:20:46. > :20:51.including a shift allowance is �35,000 a year, that doesn't

:20:51. > :20:55.include overtime and bonuses. For training of new recruits takes

:20:55. > :21:02.three years. No surprise, then, that an advertisement for half a

:21:02. > :21:08.dozen vacancies can generate around 400 replies. Gerry Adams is one of

:21:08. > :21:11.the local workers. He is 62 but first came here on work experience

:21:11. > :21:17.45 years ago. They will carry me out in a wooden

:21:17. > :21:21.box from here. I want to work until I am 70. I am really, really happy.

:21:21. > :21:26.There are lots of guys who like their job. I was doing an interview

:21:26. > :21:30.with a man this afternoon, I don't want to retire when I am 65, I want

:21:30. > :21:34.to go on. Why hasn't much of the work at

:21:34. > :21:38.Barry gone to the Far East or Eastern Europe, like so much else

:21:38. > :21:43.in manufacture in? That is because Labour is only part of the cost.

:21:43. > :21:46.The big-ticket items here are energy and raw materials. They are

:21:46. > :21:49.around the same wherever you are. And on tomorrow night's programme,

:21:49. > :21:52.we'll be at one of the last of the underwear makers in the Gwent

:21:52. > :21:55.Valleys. It was once an industry that employed thousands of people

:21:55. > :21:58.in the area, making underwear for some of Britain's biggest companies.

:21:58. > :22:01.Today, AJM Sewing in New Tredegar employs 40 people and makes some of

:22:01. > :22:06.the most expensive underwear found on the British high street. That's

:22:06. > :22:09.at 6:30pm tomorrow night. The governing body of the

:22:09. > :22:12.University of Wales has been accused of significant failure over

:22:12. > :22:15.its handling of controversial overseas partnerships. The claim

:22:15. > :22:19.comes in a leaked letter from the Higher Education Funding Council

:22:19. > :22:22.for Wales. Last year the BBC revealed that a Malaysian college

:22:23. > :22:27.with links to the university was run by a pop star with two bogus

:22:27. > :22:32.degrees, while another in Bangkok was operating illegally. The

:22:32. > :22:35.University has refused to comment. The Welsh Ambulance service has

:22:35. > :22:39.recorded its best ever performance results for response to emergency

:22:39. > :22:46.calls. They reached just over 71% of life-threatening calls within

:22:46. > :22:50.eight minutes. Football, and Robert Earnshaw has

:22:50. > :22:53.described re-joining Cardiff City as "going home". The Wales striker

:22:53. > :22:55.has decided not to renew his contract at Nottingham Forest,

:22:55. > :23:03.instead he's heading for the Bluebirds where he enjoyed great

:23:03. > :23:07.success before leaving seven years ago.

:23:07. > :23:11.Robert Earnshaw could have stayed with Nottingham Forest. He has been

:23:11. > :23:15.there for the past three years. After turning down a new contract,

:23:15. > :23:19.he has rejoined the club where he started his career, much to the

:23:19. > :23:23.delight of fans. Superb signing. Nice to see him

:23:23. > :23:26.coming back. There is no transfer fee so we are

:23:27. > :23:32.more than happy. He has more -- he has never fallen

:23:32. > :23:36.out of love with the club. I have seen him on Wales trips and he has

:23:36. > :23:40.always been chatting with the Cardiff fans. He will be a fans'

:23:40. > :23:44.favourite. He is the 4th signing for mucky

:23:44. > :23:49.Mackay this summer. Robert Earnshaw will provide them much needed

:23:49. > :23:54.attacking threat following the loss of the likes of Chris Burke,

:23:54. > :23:57.Michael Chopra, Jay Bothroyd and Craig Bellamy.

:23:57. > :24:02.He will always score goals and when you are looking at a successful

:24:02. > :24:08.side, as we are trying to look at, he need somebody who will put the

:24:09. > :24:11.ball in the net. We have lost a lot of goals in Michael to opera. He

:24:11. > :24:17.could be the man to step in and fill the gap.

:24:17. > :24:23.Robert Earnshaw was a firm favourite at Cardiff, scoring well

:24:23. > :24:27.over 100 goals in 200 games. It also led to his breakthrough in the

:24:27. > :24:31.Wales set-up. He will be hoping to similar success of the Bluebirds

:24:31. > :24:37.look to follow Swansea City into the Premier League. The Swans have

:24:37. > :24:41.opened talks with Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale. He has had limited

:24:41. > :24:43.chances at the London club but was called into an England squad last

:24:43. > :24:48.season. Cycling and Geraint Thomas finished

:24:48. > :24:51.fifth in today's fifth stage of the Tour de France. Thomas was in

:24:51. > :24:54.contention to win, but ultimately lost out to Mark Cavendish. He will

:24:54. > :25:02.however still wear the white jersey as the best young rider and lies

:25:02. > :25:05.seventh overall, 12 seconds off the leader.

:25:05. > :25:10.Performers from around the world have been taking to the stage on

:25:10. > :25:13.the third day of the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen.

:25:13. > :25:18.The show has managed to hold off for much of the day and everybody

:25:18. > :25:22.seems to be having a blast. We are in for a good soaking this evening.

:25:22. > :25:25.Tomorrow is another day of sunny spells and a few showers. First

:25:25. > :25:28.thing tomorrow morning, you will probably wake-up and it is rather

:25:28. > :25:34.probably wake-up and it is rather cloudy. You will see some showers

:25:34. > :25:37.first thing in the morning which could be heavy at times. Also, some

:25:37. > :25:42.brighter intervals between those showers. First bring this evening

:25:42. > :25:51.we have a band of rain making its way north and eastwards. Heavy at

:25:51. > :25:54.times. With that comes strong winds, at 40-50 mph gusts. The rain will

:25:54. > :25:59.clear through the evening and we will see some showers in the

:25:59. > :26:03.overnight period. Tomorrow morning will start of cloudy and we will

:26:03. > :26:08.see a few showers. Perhaps some bright or sunny spells, thanks to

:26:08. > :26:11.an area of low pressure across the UK. An unsettled day tomorrow.

:26:12. > :26:16.Breezy with sunny intervals and showers. Becoming drier by the

:26:16. > :26:20.evening. Overnight we will see more rain arriving in the early hours of

:26:20. > :26:25.Friday morning. Another unsettled day on Friday but the weekend is

:26:25. > :26:30.looking promising. We can look forward to lighter showers and more

:26:30. > :26:34.in the way of sunshine. If you would like to see more on

:26:35. > :26:39.Llangollen, or there is a highlights programme on tomorrow

:26:39. > :26:46.evening on BBC Two at 7:30pm. To two men, it will be a great

:26:46. > :26:54.programme to watch. Back to the studio.

:26:54. > :26:58.Tonight's headlines: the Prime Minister has promised a public

:26:58. > :27:03.inquiry into the phone hacking scandal engulfing the News of the

:27:03. > :27:05.World. Rupert Murdoch, the chair and CEO

:27:05. > :27:10.of the News Corporation called the allegations deplorable and

:27:10. > :27:14.unacceptable. In Wales, a jury has heard how

:27:14. > :27:19.eight policemen colluded to send five innocent men to jail for the

:27:19. > :27:25.murder of a prostitute. Lynette White was killed in 1988 in the

:27:25. > :27:30.docks area of Cardiff. Officers denied conspiracy to be forged --

:27:30. > :27:33.to pervert the course of justice. And that's Wales Today. Don't
