:00:24. | :00:37. | ||
Also tonight - the dog owner fined �2,000 after becoming the first in | :00:37. | :00:43. | |

Welcome to the Royal Welsh Show. Nearly 50,000 people have passed | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
through the turnstiles today. More than a million pounds spent | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
upgrading the facilities - we've been finding out how the main | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
ring's new turf has been holding up under hundreds of galloping hooves. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
And slightly late for his graduation. Harold Jones finally | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:18. | ||
gets his degree 66 years on. think I am by fire that oldest by | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
40 or 50 years. Good evening. There's mixed news | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:41. | ||
for defence bases in Wales this evening. Dr Fox said more or | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
service women and servicemen and would been based there. He also | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
announced plans to scrap the Welsh headquarters. | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
:02:07. | :02:08. | ||
It was supposed to be the future of technical training. The role was | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
expected to bring thousands of jobs. The academy was scrapped last year | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
and today Hope's of something to take its place would killed off. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
will increase its usage to take advantage of the facilities there. | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
A cryptic comment understood to refer to the role regarding the | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
special forces' support group. It is this group rather than the | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
proposed technical training academy that will be the key to the future | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
of St Katharine. The local MP was happy with the consolation prize. | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:13. | ||
It is good news. By its very nature we cannot say much. Very good news. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
There was some relief in Army circles. This could have led to the | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
end of the army's administrative headquarters some feared. MPs hope | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
today's announcement means it will remain at the hub of the Army in | :03:33. | :03:43. | |
:03:43. | :03:58. | ||
Wales for generations to A man who admitted using an electric shock | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
collar to stop his dog straying, has been fined �2,000. Philip Pook | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
from Ogmore by Sea near Bridgend is the first man to be charged with | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the offence after the use of the dog collars was banned in Wales | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
last year. They're still legal in the rest of the UK as Nick Palit | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
reports. These electronic shock collars are | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
widely available on the internet and from pet supply stores. However | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
after lobbying from the RSPCA and the Kennel Club their use was | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
outlawed here in Wales in March last year. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
48 year old Phillip Pook from Ogmore by Sea is the first man to | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
fall foul of this law. His border collie Dougie was found wearing it | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
when he was rounded up as a stray on a local beach. Mr Pook pleaded | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
guilty to using an electronic shock collar contrary to Animal Welfare | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:46. | ||
Wales regulations. Mr Cook said he had never used it in it shock | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
mauled but just as to make at bleep. The court heard that at least half | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
a million of the devices are used across the UK, with millions more | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
in use worldwide. But the Kennel Club believe it's a cruel, outdated | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
method of training dogs. The Welsh Assembly have made the decision | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
that these devices are cruel and in doing so they have put in a piece | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
of legislation But not everyone believes this kind | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
of collar is cruel. Charles Wall runs a dog training company with | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
bases in Wales and England and says electronic collars are a useful | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
training tool. An electric collar is a way of saving the lives of | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
dogs who could otherwise get shot for chasing sheep or running out on | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
to busy road. It comes down to licensing the people who should be | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
able to use them. Thankfully electric collars are not banned in | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
England. So I can use them there. When used in the correct hands | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Lady is being trained not to chase sheep. This is what happens when a | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
small shock is applied to her collar. Mr Pook is the first man to | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
be prosecuted for using a shock collar. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
The magistrate said the excepted that the caller had been supplied | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
with good intent and that the dog showed no sign of distress but she | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
said Mr Pook had been warned on a number of occasions that use of the | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
collar in Wales was illegal. He was fined �2,000 and has to pay �1,000 | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
in costs. The management of Blaenau Gwent | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
council is to be investigated just days after its education services | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
were put into "special measures" by the schools inspectorate, Estyn. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Local Government Minister Carl Sargeant called for the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
investigation after a report found standards were "well below" what | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
was expected. North Wales Police say they're | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
investigating claims that Directors at Wrexham Football Club have | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
received threats against their homes, businesses and families. The | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
club says the threats were made in the last few days. Negotiations are | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
continuing over the sale of the club. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
A man's been cautioned for child neglect after a two-year-old boy | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
travelled on his own on a bus from Powys to Shropshire. The child got | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
on with other passengers at Montgomery last month, and was only | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
noticed when the bus arrived at its destination in Shrewsbury - 28 | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
miles away. Britain's biggest countryside show | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
is underway at Llanelwedd, near Builth Wells. More than 200,000 | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
people are expected to pass through the turnstiles over the next four | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
days life. Ross Harries is reporting for us all week. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Good Evening. Welcome to the Royal Welsh Show. The crowds started | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
arriving early this morning, and the rain we feared has held off for | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
most of the day. As always there's plenty to see and do here. Hundreds | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
of traders, thousands of animals, and millions of pounds worth of | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
farming machinery on display. Visitors have flocked to the main | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
ring behind me, to watch all kinds of events from horse displays to | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:07. | ||
some daredevil motorbike riding. One thing that has been observed is | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
the condition of the turf. In years gone by a wet weather has turned it | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
into a mudbath. Hopefully that will not happen this year. It is looking | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
in good shape this evening. Our reporter has sampled what is on | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
offer on day one. This is the chance for these stars | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
of the shore to shine. Each one hopes to impress. As the show got | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
under way all eyes were on the new show ring. �220,000 has been spent | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
renovating the drainage system which allows 15 centimetres of | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
water to drain away in less than one hour. Thousands of tons of sand | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
have been placed on the ground. Their aim is to avoid scenes like | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
these from last year. Bear in mind we had heavy rain on Saturday but | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
it has withstood that extremely well. I am very confident that we | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
will be able to cope. It sounds firm as they are carbolic -- | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:30. | ||
galloping around. It was a mud bath last year. Overlooking the new Ring | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
is the result of another investment. This will allow members of the | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
Royal Welsh Society a place to shelter from the rain. At a cost of | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
over �1 million others are questioning that decision. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
facilities are first class. Always there is something to do. Always | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
there is something to spend money on. This was the choice. They | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
wanted it. At the heart of the show lies the competition. This man | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
arrived on Saturday morning. He was last here 31 years ago. On that | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
occasion he left with his future wife. This time he will leave with | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
a red rosette after a wash his father's drool it claimed a victory. | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:35. | ||
I am overjoyed. It is something for my father. Have you given him the | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
good news? Yes I have. I was in the ring. My brother was on the bank. | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
He is happy. Back in the name every now that there was another test. | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
There is something for everybody here. More than enough to wear | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
somebody out. Throughout this week our rural | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
affairs Correspondent will be finding out about the big issues | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
affecting rural life. You can join him now. | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
They show ground sits in the heart of Wales. One issue that has been | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
dominating a rural agenda throughout the countryside in | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
recent years has been the building of wind turbine is. Today was no | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
different. This group is keeping its campaign | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
in the public eye. Almost as quickly as buyers were | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
put up Wells government officials took them down. We need to make the | :11:46. | :11:55. | |
Welsh nation aware of the threat they are facing. These are not | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
community-based schemes. These and massive industrial type | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
developments. Later at the protesters squared up to Carwyn | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
Jones asking the first minister to visit. Successive ministers have | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
not come to Montgomery Shea. They have not looked at the position. | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
They have not what with the people. That is what devolution was about. | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Many in mid-Wales are up concerned that this new turn lines could | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
effect the area. People feel you are not engaging with them. But we | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
must engage with the right people. The UK government will take the | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
final decision not us. Are you engaging with them? I have met with | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
people in Cardiff. If they want to get the decision made the need to | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
get the Secretary of State for Wales there. But farmers such as | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
this one who keeps a dairy herd are happy to have turbine so on their | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
land. Income from the turbine cells to pay for the farm. We get a small | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
percentage of the money that these turbines produce. By having these | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
:13:23. | :13:24. | ||
turbine is I can employ a farm manager. This argument is not just | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
about Engineering and the environment it is also political. | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
The UK government has ruled out of all link all power on this policy | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
to the Welsh government. It makes sense to try to plan and national | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :13:56. | ||
In the meantime, the National Grid's plans are set to carry on. I | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
am joined now by the Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Alun | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Davies. You force -- your first visit to the show in this post. I | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
know wind farms and bovine TB are not part of your portfolio. But | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
they are big issues. This is the Royal Welsh show. I have been | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
coming here for decades. I have enjoyed this event. It is all part | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
of the debate we have about the future of rural Wales. It is | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
important to have events like this. I think it is a marvellous event | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
and Iolanthe thoroughly enjoyed the day. What do you say about bovine | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
:14:52. | :14:53. | ||
TB? Is it an issue like the wind farms? It is clear that we want to | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
eradicate bovine TB. One of the things I have found today, I | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
enjoyed going around this Showground speaking to people and | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
watching the judging of the cattle. You have fabulous produce and | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
products on display. We should all be very proud of this. What have | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
people been telling you? You have this very met a of Agriculture as | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
part of the business department. Two people see this as a growing | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
business industry? I think people are very positive. 10 years ago, we | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
had foot and mouth. The whole agricultural industry was very | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
uncertain about the future. People I have been speaking today have | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
been positive about the future. We have an innovative industry that is | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
based on the backbone of Agriculture in rural Wales. We are | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
selling world-class products across the globe. That is something we | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
could all be very positive about. It is the first day of the show. I | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
thank you very much. They will be more from the Royal Welsh a little | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
bit later in the programme. Our top story tonight: | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Two big defence announcements in place of the scrapped defence | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
academy. Special forces training will continue in St Athan and the | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
MoD rejects plans to close the army's headquarters in Wales. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Coming up before seven o'clock. Harold Jones finally picks up his | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:44. | ||
A group of travellers, who set up camp on a school in Denbighshire | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
over the weekend, has now moved to a nearby nature reserve. Ysgol Glan | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Clwyd in St Asaph was closed today after the travellers set up camp on | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Saturday. Denbighshire Council is now trying to remove them from land | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
:17:06. | :17:06. | ||
near Rhuddlan Castle. Another day and another unauthorised camp for | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
this group of travellers with around a dozen caravans. For the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
second time in recent months, they have moved onto this nature reserve. | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
The site was only opened this year. They did not want to be interviewed. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
But they said they are only in the area while one of them received | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
hospital treatment. Until last night, they were here at his local | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
school. The move onto the playing fields on Saturday night. The head | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
teacher had no choice but to shut the school today for the 550 non | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
examined her pupils. A lot of people were supposed to come in to | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
help us. We had to cancel and people have lost out. It was very | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
inconvenient for the parents and I would like to apologise for this. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
The best companies have been informed not to travel. It was | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
:18:13. | :18:14. | ||
impossible to arrange -- change the arrangements. The school will be | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
open for the last day of term tomorrow. Then she council says it | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
will decide tomorrow what steps it can take to move the travellers on. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Cricket. Former England paceman Simon Jones is to stay with | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Glamorgan for another two weeks. He's extended his loan deal from | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Hampshire and is expected to play Essex in the 40 overs match on | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Wednesday. Jones has been with Glamorgan for a month but had been | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
due to return to Hampshire on Wednesday. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Wales midfielder Joe Allen has said he's on the verge of agreeing a new | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
deal with Swansea City. The 21 year old has a year left on his current | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
deal and the Premier League newcomers are keen to secure him on | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
a long-term deal. European Junior Swimming Champion | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Ieuan Lloyd from Penarth is one of 32 athletes representing Wales in | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games. Athletes across six sports will be | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
:19:11. | :19:20. | ||
travelling to the Isle of Man in September. Back to the Royal Welsh | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Show. With news of some of today's winners, here's Ross. | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
First of all, let me tell you about the crowds. Many of the visitors | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
are leaving now, but there are still plenty hanging around the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
showground. In total, 48,610 people came to Llanelwedd today. That's | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
3,800 down on the same day last year. However, show organisers say | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
they are still happy with today's attendance. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
There have been plenty of winners at the showground today. Husband | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
and wife Viv and Douglas Lockton are celebrating after their Angora | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
goat was named overall supreme champion. The couple are from | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Mynachlog-ddu in Pembrokeshire. And one man with no shortage of | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Royal Welsh wins is Phil Fowlie from Aberffraw on Anglesey. He was | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
at it again today. His pig, Braemor Daffodil the 12th, was crowned | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
Welsh supreme breed champion. Let me introduce you to a true | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
heavyweight champion, Eastern Promise, best of breed in the | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
Hereford Class. Its owners are from Leicestershire. The first time at | :20:20. | :20:23. | |

Highland Show in Scotland, the Three Counties Show in Malvern. | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
:20:40. | :20:40. | ||
You've done the grand slam? We took the Scottish are, we took the | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
:20:50. | :20:52. | ||
English are now we have come down to Wales to win the Triple Crown. | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
One match at a time. We will talk to him about the game and we will | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
go from there. You are used to winning. There is no greater turf | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
to win on than Wales for an English man. You have been involved in a | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
lot of the preparation. Give us an idea of what it takes to get a ball | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
like this prepared? We knew we had quality when he was born three | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:40. | ||
years ago. We had been showing him so he is used to as showing him. We | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
would wash them twice a day and feed him and get him walking right. | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
He is now very quiet and let us call paid off. He is well behaved. | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
Do not speak too soon. Thank you very much and congratulations once | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
again. There've been plenty of umbrellas | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
and raincoats on show here today, but the heavens haven't opened as | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
we feared they might. Derek's here. When's the sun going to come out? | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
We've been lucky at the show today. We've had a little rain but some | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
dry weather as well. Mind you, it's been much wetter in the west, for | :22:26. | :22:35. | |
example, in Ceredigion, Gwynedd and Carmarthenshire. While in Snowdonia | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
125mm, 5 inches of rain has fallen on the mountains over the past few | :22:38. | :22:48. | |
:22:48. | :22:50. | ||
days. More than a month's worth of So some rivers are swollen | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
including the river Wye in Builth. Good news, after today, I think | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
we've seen the worst of the rain for a while. Tomorrow will be drier | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
but still on the cool side for July with sunshine in short supply. This | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
evening, cloudy with further rain and showers around the country | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
gradually turning lighter and more patchy overnight. Some dry weather. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
The wind easing inland and a fairly cool night. Lowest temps 11 to 14 | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure centred over the North Sea. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
That's the reason for the unsettled weather and all the rain we've had | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
recently. So tomorrow better than today. A few spots of light rain | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
and drizzle in the north and west. The odd shower but drier than today. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Plenty of cloud but a few bright intervals are likely in parts of | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
Mid Wales, the south, and east. A little sunshine in Flintshire and | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Monmouthshire. Temperatures on the cool side again, 15 to 19 Celsius | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
with a moderate to fresh west to north-westerly breeze. The pollen | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
count tomorrow low. Tomorrow night a few showers in the north and west | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
otherwise mostly dry. A few breaks in the cloud. Another fairly cool | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
night lowest temperatures 9 to 11 Celsius. As for the outlook, the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
next few days will bring a few showers, especially on Thursday | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
when they may be heavy with thunder. Some dry weather as well. A little | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
sunshine. Temperatures generally below average for July but with | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
lighter winds it will should feel a little warmer. So better weather | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
for the show tomorrow. Mostly dry and hopefully a little brighter | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
than today. That's all from Derek and me. We'll | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
be back bright and early tomorrow though and we'll bring you | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
everything you need to know about what's happening here at Britain's | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
biggest agricultural show. Back to you Jamie. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
It is the end of term, thousands of students are graduating, including | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
one special student at Cardiff University. 85 year old Harold | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Jones from Brecon was a bit late picking up his award. He competed | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
his course in mechanical engineering in 1945 but headed | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
:25:15. | :25:19. | ||
straight into the services without It is with great honour and a | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
pleasure that we welcome him back today, Harold Jones. He's waited 66 | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
years to get on this stage and today Harold Jones got to don a cap | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
and gown and receive his degree. is a big thrill. I think I am | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
probably by far the oldest by maybe 40 or 50 years. But that is a | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
relatively unimportant. It is nice to be here. Harold was in the class | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
of 1945. Being a student then was very different to being a student | :25:51. | :26:01. | |
:26:01. | :26:03. | ||
now. I was also in the Home Guard, manning a radio station. It was | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
:26:14. | :26:14. | ||
very interesting. If they started coming our way, we had to get the | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
rocket-launchers ready to send some rocket up to greet them. Despite | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
only graduating today, Harold's engineering career has taken him | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
all over the world and he now lives in Madrid. But over the years has | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
:26:34. | :26:35. | ||
he ever given thought to that unclaimed certificate? Yes, my wife | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
keeps good files. I did get a letter from the University signed | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
by the Registrar saying I had passed the exams. Otherwise, I | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
would not have been certain whether I had passed or not. But nobody has | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
ever questioned it. Apparently, I did OK. Harold says he'll be | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
framing his certificate and making copies for the family. So after | :26:59. | :27:08. | |
more than six decades, it has certainly been worth the wait. The | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
headlines. The hacking scandal has claimed another scalp tonight. | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Assistant Commissioner John Yates, the man charged with keeping | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
England and Wales saved from terror attacks, resigned today. It comes | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
hours after his boss quit last night. | :27:25. | :27:28. |
