:00:10. > :00:12.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: A hospital pays out �5
:00:12. > :00:22.million compensation for serious medical errors which left a girl
:00:22. > :00:28.
:00:29. > :00:33.with severe brain damage. Our other headlines tonight: The
:00:33. > :00:43.fight to tackle TB in cattle. The UK Government paves the way for
:00:43. > :00:48.culling badgers in parts of England. In Wales, that plan is on hold.
:00:48. > :00:53.the science set to go ahead with this, would you do it? If it
:00:53. > :00:58.clearly short that the best thing was a cull of badgers, of course
:00:58. > :01:01.that is what we would do. Also tonight: Face to face, the
:01:01. > :01:04.boss of the coastguard service explains to protestors why he wants
:01:04. > :01:07.to close Swansea. Why the rising price of scrap metal
:01:07. > :01:11.means the theft of manhole covers, statues and even rubbish bins
:01:11. > :01:14.doubles. And, after scaling the highest peak
:01:14. > :01:24.on every continent, it is welcome home for former Welsh rugby
:01:24. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:27.Good evening. A girl from Pontyclun left with severe brain damage
:01:27. > :01:33.following serious medical errors during her birth will receive
:01:33. > :01:35.damages equivalent to almost five million pounds over her lifetime.
:01:35. > :01:41.Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board apologised to Sophie
:01:41. > :01:49.Clarke's family for the failures during her mothers labour. Our
:01:49. > :01:59.reporter is in the newsroom. Sophie Clarke was born at the
:01:59. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:05.Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend 12 years ago. According to
:02:05. > :02:08.the family's law firm, before she was born hospital staff failed to
:02:08. > :02:11.notice that she had an abnormal heart rate, which meant she should
:02:11. > :02:13.have been delivered earlier. As a result, staff did not intervene and
:02:13. > :02:20.let the birth progress naturally. Oxygen starvation caused Sophie to
:02:21. > :02:23.have cerebral palsy. It's meant that she is entirely immobile, will
:02:24. > :02:26.be wheelchair-dependent for life and has to be fed through a gastro
:02:26. > :02:32.tube. Today, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board agreed to
:02:32. > :02:35.pay almost �5 million over her lifetime. The board has reiterated
:02:35. > :02:37.its apologies for the failures in 1998 and has said since then
:02:37. > :02:39.systems, equipment, training and ways of working have significantly
:02:39. > :02:42.changed. What have the family said?
:02:43. > :02:46.The family has said while no amount of money will repair the damage
:02:46. > :02:49.done, they now have a chance to move on and focus on Sophie,
:02:49. > :02:54.ensuring that she gets as much out of life as possible and knowing
:02:54. > :02:56.that she will always be looked after is a huge relief for them.
:02:56. > :03:02.The funding will mean she can access 24-hour care, and
:03:02. > :03:05.rehabilitation and therapy services. The family are keen though to point
:03:05. > :03:09.out that the compensation is not seen as a lottery win but insurance
:03:09. > :03:16.that Sophie will be able have the care she's needs for the rest of
:03:16. > :03:20.her life. Significant developments today in
:03:20. > :03:28.the ongoing debate about how to tackle Tuberculosis in cattle. Live
:03:28. > :03:36.to the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd and our reporter.
:03:36. > :03:39.I am surrounded by dairy cattle here. Many of the farmers who have
:03:39. > :03:46.brought their herds have been devastated in the past, by the
:03:46. > :03:55.affects of bovine TB. Big support here then for a cull of badgers. We
:03:55. > :03:59.know that's controversial. Last month, the Welsh Government put its
:03:59. > :04:02.plans for a cull on hold, pending a review of the scientific evidence.
:04:02. > :04:06.Lots of interest then in a decision today, paving the way to kill
:04:06. > :04:11.badgers in England. These are some of the best cattle
:04:11. > :04:13.in Britain, often worth a small fortune. They are pampered for the
:04:13. > :04:19.show, because winning also means more money and prestige for their
:04:19. > :04:21.owners. Cattle farming is big business. So, in Westminster this
:04:21. > :04:24.lunchtime, the UK's Environment Secretary announced that as 25,000
:04:24. > :04:34.cows with TB had been slaughtered in England last year, costing
:04:34. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:41.farmers �90 million, badgers would be culled. I am strongly minded to
:04:41. > :04:47.allow controlled culling carried out by groups of farmers and
:04:48. > :04:51.landowners as part of a carefully let policy of badger control.
:04:51. > :04:54.will be consultation on the scheme which will start in pilot areas in
:04:54. > :04:57.South West England, but it will be up to farmers to apply for the
:04:57. > :05:00.licences. A cull in Wales, in north Pembrokeshire, had been approved,
:05:00. > :05:05.but the current government in Cardiff Bay has called for a review,
:05:05. > :05:09.and a report is expected in the autumn. If scientists say that a
:05:09. > :05:15.badger cull would decrease bovine tuberculosis, we did then announce
:05:15. > :05:18.a badger cull in Wales? The Kohl remains in place under the order
:05:18. > :05:23.that is in place. If the review says that you can do that and
:05:23. > :05:28.science supports it, would you do it? We will be led by science. It
:05:29. > :05:36.depends on what is said in the review. If the science says to go
:05:36. > :05:41.ahead with a badger cull, would you do it? If the review shows that the
:05:41. > :05:43.best way forward is clearly to cull badgers, we would do that. At the
:05:44. > :05:47.Royal Welsh, farming unions say they understand the frustration and
:05:47. > :05:49.anger felt by farmers. Many who say the review is no more than a
:05:50. > :05:52.delaying tactic to avoid what's bound to be a controversial
:05:52. > :06:02.decision Farmers throughout Wales have to test their cattle every
:06:02. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:10.We have done everything we have been asked to do. Farmers here are
:06:10. > :06:16.understandably very frustrated. Farmers to ride Wales have to Testa
:06:16. > :06:19.cattle every year. -- throughout Wales have to test their cattle
:06:19. > :06:22.every year. Most of these cows tested for bovine tuberculosis on
:06:22. > :06:25.Aled Rees's farm near Newcastle Emlyn were clear. But three have
:06:25. > :06:29.larger than normal lumps on their necks and that means they all have
:06:29. > :06:33.to be tested again in 60 days. many times do we need to look at
:06:33. > :06:43.this? How many reviews do we need? The Assembly has thwarted twice for
:06:43. > :06:50.
:06:50. > :06:51.it. -- has have thwarted twice for who want to protect their
:06:51. > :06:54.livelihoods, while animal rights campaigners will be dismayed by
:06:54. > :06:56.today's new policy in England. After the Badger Trust's successful
:06:56. > :07:00.appeal against the previous Welsh government's badger cull policy,
:07:00. > :07:08.another legal challenge in England is highly likely. We shall look at
:07:08. > :07:13.this proposal very carefully. The badger Trust are prepared to fight
:07:13. > :07:18.for in judicial review in Westminster, just as we have done
:07:18. > :07:21.in the Welsh Assembly Government. The central argument that's still
:07:21. > :07:23.being debated though, is whether it'd be more beneficial to cull or
:07:23. > :07:26.vaccinate badgers. The campaign group Pembrokshire Against the Cull
:07:26. > :07:29.are currently training volunteers to count the number of wild badgers
:07:29. > :07:32.in their sets, so they can help in any future vaccination schemes in
:07:32. > :07:38.Wales. We have been speaking to English
:07:38. > :07:41.farmers here today. They've welcomed the UK Government decision,
:07:41. > :07:44.saying it's a step in the right direction. Welsh farmers will have
:07:44. > :07:49.their eyes on the autumn, when that all important review comes out.
:07:49. > :07:52.More from us later. Back to you. It has been a dramatic day at
:07:52. > :08:00.Westminster, where MPs have been grilling those at the centre of the
:08:00. > :08:04.phone hacking scandal. Our Political Editor is there.
:08:04. > :08:10.It has been a very long day and one of tension. Hours of evidence has
:08:10. > :08:17.been heard from former top police officers, from Rebecca bricks and
:08:17. > :08:23.from James Murdoch and report board -- James Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch.
:08:23. > :08:29.Many people will remember today from this attack. Chris Bryant was
:08:29. > :08:38.in the room when it happened. Do you think many people will feel
:08:38. > :08:43.sorry for Rupert Murdoch tonight? It was a disposable act. --
:08:43. > :08:49.despicable act. No one should be treated like that, especially
:08:49. > :08:53.someone who is in their eighties. Rupert Murdoch said that he is not
:08:53. > :08:58.in touch at all. That has been the problem and the company. The News
:08:58. > :09:03.of the World was can put the out of control and nobody at the top of it
:09:03. > :09:06.has accepted responsibility for what went on. Hours of evidence.
:09:06. > :09:11.Have you one pecked the things that we know now that we did not know
:09:11. > :09:16.before? We know that News International had been put -- had
:09:16. > :09:22.been paying Glenn Mulcaire his legal fees. James Murdoch does not
:09:22. > :09:27.know if they are still paying his legal fees. The Assistant
:09:27. > :09:33.Commissioner told the head of David Cameron's office that he wanted to
:09:33. > :09:37.tell the Prime Minister about Neil Wallis being employed by the met
:09:37. > :09:43.but we heard that that would compromise the Prime Minister. We
:09:43. > :09:48.also know that the former deputy editor of the News of the World,
:09:48. > :09:57.whilst working for the Met, was also providing advice for the
:09:57. > :10:02.Conservative Party. There are some very a series -- there are some
:10:02. > :10:07.very serious problems now for the Prime Minister. I am keen that we
:10:07. > :10:11.focus on the criminality of the News of the World. We must clean up
:10:11. > :10:20.the terrible things that have happened to the family of Milly
:10:20. > :10:22.Dowler and others. That is the problem for now.
:10:22. > :10:25.Angry campaigners protesting against the planned closure of
:10:25. > :10:28.Swansea Coastguard Station have come face to face with the boss of
:10:28. > :10:31.the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Sir Alan Massey. The UK Government
:10:31. > :10:36.announced the centre will close by 2015, while stations at Milford
:10:36. > :10:40.Haven and Holyhead will remain open. The decision to close Swansea
:10:40. > :10:50.caught campaigners by surprise. So, this morning, protestors were up
:10:50. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:54.early hoping to catch the head of the agency on the back foot. The
:10:54. > :10:59.chief executive's scheduled 7am private meeting with staff was
:10:59. > :11:07.delayed as Alan Massey heard protestors concerns first. We would
:11:07. > :11:17.not taste -- and we would not take risks with lives. But you are. The
:11:17. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:20.coastguard sate my brother. saved. Passionate pleas but it was
:11:20. > :11:22.the government decision last week which saw campaigners in Milford
:11:22. > :11:26.haven celebrating and left many in Swansea in Shock. This morning,
:11:26. > :11:28.Alan Massey admitted there had been an error in calculating the cost of
:11:28. > :11:31.closing Swansea and that's why it wasn't originally earmarked. We did
:11:31. > :11:34.not realise at the time that there are two separate leases. The lease
:11:34. > :11:44.on the station itself does not include reinstatement costs. We had
:11:44. > :11:46.made the wrong assumption that it did. The aerial site does. Last
:11:46. > :11:50.week's announcement saw Holyhead station being favoured instead of
:11:50. > :11:52.Liverpool after Welsh language concerns. While Milford Haven
:11:52. > :12:01.campaigned tirelessly and delivered a 20,000 strong petition to downing
:12:01. > :12:08.street. They won their fight. And with nearly 30 jobs at stake in
:12:08. > :12:13.Swansea campaigners aren't giving up. We have been so quiet in the
:12:13. > :12:17.beginning because we thought we were lucky to keep our station open.
:12:17. > :12:25.But we will fight all the way to keep our station opened. Swansea
:12:25. > :12:30.Coastguard Station is the busiest in Wales. That is why these
:12:30. > :12:33.protesters will not be staying quiet.
:12:33. > :12:36.The new leader of the Welsh Conservative group, in the assembly
:12:36. > :12:38.has announced two new posts, in his first shadow cabinet. Andrew RT
:12:38. > :12:42.Davies, has appointed a deputy leader and a shadow minister for
:12:42. > :12:44.North Wales in a cabinet of 13 members. Let's talk to our Welsh
:12:44. > :12:49.Affairs Editor. No great surprises. What you have
:12:49. > :12:52.to look at here is the fact that Andrew RT Davies only won the
:12:52. > :12:57.leadership very narrowly. If less than 100 people had voted
:12:57. > :13:01.differently, he would have lost. He had to make sure that there was no
:13:01. > :13:05.one sulking outside the tent. He had to reward people in other parts
:13:05. > :13:08.of the party who perhaps had not supported him during the leadership
:13:08. > :13:18.supported him during the leadership race. Let's have a look at those
:13:18. > :13:26.race. Let's have a look at those changes in detail. Paul Davies will
:13:26. > :13:35.now be the Deputy Leader and the shadow finance minister. Nick
:13:35. > :13:40.Ramsay was narrowly defeated for the leadership. Then two people who
:13:40. > :13:50.did not stand. Many people thought Angela Burns would have been a
:13:50. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :13:56.strong candidate. Darren Millar is the assembly member who will get
:13:56. > :14:02.eight committee chairmanship. Big eight committee chairmanship. Big
:14:02. > :14:12.jobs relief for the heavy hitters around that Shadow Cabinet table.
:14:12. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:20.have created the post of deputy leader. Darren Millar will be
:14:21. > :14:24.covering the social care or fall ill as well as hell. We have a
:14:24. > :14:27.wealth of knowledge in local government. The whole team is
:14:27. > :14:31.drawing on personal experience that many have outside of politics and I
:14:31. > :14:35.believe it will be a very valued team and vibrant team that will
:14:35. > :14:43.hold the government to account, develop policy and show the people
:14:43. > :14:50.For just a quick word about the independent commission that has
:14:50. > :14:56.been set up. We have just got some details but not much. We do not
:14:56. > :15:02.know who is on it or four will chair it. But we do know the
:15:02. > :15:07.timetable. It will start in autumn. It will end by autumn 10-12. Much
:15:07. > :15:10.more to come before 7 o'clock. He's scaled the highest mountain on
:15:10. > :15:14.every continent. Tonight, welcome home to former Welsh rugby
:15:14. > :15:24.international Richard Parks. A glorious flypast by a Lancaster

:15:26. > :15:31.bomber in memory of a World War II Bronze plaques, manhole covers and
:15:31. > :15:34.even statues. We've reported the growing number of metal thefts. Now
:15:34. > :15:39.BBC Wales has obtained figures which show how much its costing
:15:39. > :15:44.councils to replace them. And at �680,000, it's double last year's
:15:44. > :15:47.figure. The Vale of Glamorgan had �80,000 of copper cable taken,
:15:47. > :15:56.Caerphilly spent �70,000 replacing bins and Swansea lost �50,000 in
:15:56. > :16:01.manhole covers. Rhondda Cynon Taf was one of the worst hit areas,
:16:01. > :16:05.from where Sian Lloyd reports. Police patrols in an area where
:16:05. > :16:09.metal thieves struck just last night. Over the past week, �5,000
:16:09. > :16:15.worth of manhole covers were stolen in Rhondda Cynon Taf in a spate of
:16:15. > :16:18.thefts. The latest on this industrial estate. It takes 24
:16:19. > :16:24.hours for a new cover to arrive and in the meantime a traffic cone
:16:24. > :16:34.covers the hole. But its not just manhole covers being stolen and the
:16:34. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:40.cost to the council is mounting. About �250,000 worth of theft from
:16:40. > :16:45.cabling, manholes, Brita Burns. What are you doing to clamp down on
:16:45. > :16:49.the problem? We will be doing a joint exercise with the police to
:16:49. > :16:55.catch people stealing these. We are asking the public if they see
:16:55. > :16:59.anyone taking them, let us know. We had to shut the main road to
:16:59. > :17:02.Cardiff because the manhole covers had gone and we had to replace them.
:17:02. > :17:05.It's a problem faced by every local authority. We've already reported
:17:05. > :17:08.how thieves targeted this cemetery in Cardiff taking more than 50
:17:08. > :17:10.bronze memorial plaques from benches. In Pembrokeshire a local
:17:10. > :17:13.landmark disappeared from Neyland when the statue of Brunel was
:17:13. > :17:21.stolen from the quayside and near Wrexham lead was stolen from the
:17:21. > :17:25.roof at the George Edwards Hall. In Caerphilly, scores of bins have
:17:25. > :17:35.been replaced at a cost of �70,000, the scale of the problem has led to

:17:56. > :18:01.metal value. Since April, we have arrested more than 100 people on
:18:01. > :18:05.the operation. We are looking to reduce the crime and increase
:18:05. > :18:09.public safety. Many of the items stolen cost thousands to replace

:19:40. > :19:46.for Richard Parks. Hello, many congratulations on what you have
:19:46. > :19:52.achieved. How do you look back and reflect on it? With difficulty. It
:19:52. > :19:58.has not sunk in yet. I only arrived on Welsh soil this afternoon. The
:19:58. > :20:03.deception I had with the male voice choir and so many people coming out
:20:03. > :20:10.to support me, it has not sunk in yet. So many moments in your mind
:20:10. > :20:19.to remember, what are the most shocking moments. I know you had a
:20:19. > :20:22.field close scrapes. It has been a physical, mental and emotional
:20:22. > :20:29.roller-coaster though the last seven months. The lowest point of
:20:29. > :20:39.the challenge was developing frostbite while coming down Everest.
:20:39. > :20:43.I was able to continue. We fell into one of the worst crevasses on
:20:43. > :20:51.one of the mountains. It was difficult but we had a bit of luck
:20:51. > :21:01.on the way. I am glad to be back in one piece. What is your fault like
:21:01. > :21:06.and what damage heavy done to your toe? I developed Frost by --
:21:06. > :21:13.frostbite coming down from Everest. The whole challenge was thrown into
:21:13. > :21:22.doubt. But I had ended two weeks back home in Wales and I saw a
:21:22. > :21:25.number of consultant doctors and specialists. I had treatment in
:21:25. > :21:33.Swansea and luckily enough, it's healed enough that I was able to
:21:33. > :21:39.continue. Many congratulations. A fantastic achievement. That is it
:21:39. > :21:43.from Cardiff Bay this evening. Time to go back to the Royal Welsh Show.
:21:43. > :21:45.Welcome back to the Royal Welsh Show. Let me give you today's
:21:45. > :21:48.attendance figure. 61, 263 people have passed through the turnstiles,
:21:48. > :21:58.that's the second highest figure ever for a Tuesday, up 4,500 on
:21:58. > :22:01.last year. Earlier many of them gathered for a very special event.

:22:34. > :22:44.skies once more. Ellen Moseley was a guest of honour for what she
:22:44. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:00.described as a wonderful tribute to her late husband. The only thing I
:23:01. > :23:04.wish is that he was here. It is very emotional. Dick Moseley was a
:23:04. > :23:07.rear gunner in World War II. Part of a crew called the magnificent
:23:07. > :23:15.seven who flew more than thirty raids in Germany. Only four of the
:23:15. > :23:24.seven are still alive. One of them was here today. We enjoyed each
:23:24. > :23:27.other's company. You get along by accident. We had to fit into the
:23:27. > :23:29.plans. The bomber left its Lincolnshire base earlier today,
:23:29. > :23:34.flying through the Wye Valley before arriving over the showground.
:23:34. > :23:37.At times it was just 100 feet above ground. Attempts to stage the
:23:37. > :23:40.flypast in previous years have been foiled by the weather. Today, it
:23:41. > :23:47.finally happened. Allowing Ellen and the crowd to salute the bravery
:23:47. > :23:50.of those who fought for our freedom. To one of the show's most popular
:23:50. > :23:54.competitions now. Hundreds gathered around the cattle ring for the
:23:54. > :23:58."team of five competition". Five animals compete as a team,
:23:58. > :24:01.representing their breed, in a bid to find the best breed of all. This
:24:01. > :24:05.year's winners were the British Blues.
:24:05. > :24:09.And here's another supreme champion for you. He's called Dyl, short for
:24:09. > :24:13.Dylan. He's a Wiltshire Horn Ram from Newborough on Anglesey, a big
:24:13. > :24:22.winner in the sheep ring today. His owner's Will Edwards. Will, you're
:24:22. > :24:30.not a farmer, breeding these sheep is just your hobby? It is a passion.
:24:30. > :24:40.My father and grandfather did it. I just love it. Tell us about Dyl,
:24:40. > :24:42.
:24:42. > :24:52.because he's low maintenance? You do not have to Shia it. The wall
:24:52. > :24:55.
:24:55. > :25:04.just falls off. It is easy care. You just wash and brush. Your week
:25:04. > :25:11.is not over. He'll be trying to win even more tomorrow? I will Wynter -
:25:11. > :25:15.- want to win the Anglesey show. I will also be taking part with the
:25:15. > :25:19.pairs tomorrow. A lot of work to do again.
:25:19. > :25:22.The weather's been kind to us today and of course that's all down to
:25:22. > :25:28.Derek. He's so happy about it, he's taken up a lofty position tonight.
:25:28. > :25:33.Derek, over to you. The weather has been in better
:25:33. > :25:37.shape today. Cloudy but dry with the odd glimpse of sunshine. Mind
:25:37. > :25:45.you, it could be a little warmer. Temperatures today no higher than
:25:46. > :25:50.The forecast for tomorrow is looking mixed across the country.
:25:50. > :25:54.Plenty of cloud. A little sunshine and a few showers as well. So if
:25:55. > :25:58.you're coming to the show, bring an umbrella just in case. Tonight, the
:25:58. > :26:06.odd spot of light rain or drizzle in parts of the north and west,
:26:06. > :26:08.otherwise dry. A lot of cloud. A few gaps and the odd mist patch.
:26:08. > :26:11.The wind easing with lowest temperatures between 8 and 12
:26:12. > :26:16.Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure heading towards northwest
:26:16. > :26:20.France. That will bring some rain to Devon and Cornwall. Meanwhile a
:26:20. > :26:23.trough over northern Britain means heavy showers. So tomorrow a good
:26:23. > :26:26.deal of cloud. A little rain possible in the south for a time.
:26:26. > :26:30.In the north, the odd shower. During the day, it will brighten-up
:26:30. > :26:35.in places with a few more showers breaking out. The odd heavy shower
:26:35. > :26:39.in Powys but some places will stay dry. Some sunshine on the north and
:26:39. > :26:45.west coast. Temperatures on the cool side, 15 to 19 Celsius with a
:26:45. > :26:49.mainly west to north-westerly breeze. The pollen count tomorrow
:26:49. > :26:55.low. Tomorrow night a few showers in the north and west otherwise a
:26:55. > :26:58.dry. A few breaks in the cloud. Another fairly cool night lowest
:26:58. > :27:01.temperatures 9 to 11 Celsius. As for the outlook, Thursday and
:27:01. > :27:05.Friday will see a mixture of sunny intervals and scattered showers.
:27:05. > :27:12.The odd heavy shower possible but some places dry. Temperatures
:27:12. > :27:15.around average or slightly below for July with mainly light winds.
:27:15. > :27:19.At the moment, the weekend looks largely dry with some sunshine. So
:27:19. > :27:22.the weather is a bit mixed tomorrow. I wouldn't rule out a shower but
:27:22. > :27:32.some dry weather as well. Not a bad day if you're coming to see the
:27:32. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:39.cobs. The headlines from the BBC. Rupert Murdoch said this was the
:27:39. > :27:41.most humbling day of his life. Giving evidence to a parliamentary
:27:41. > :27:47.select committee he insisted he was not responsible for the phone
:27:47. > :27:54.hacking scandal. Proceedings were interrupted as a demonstrator tried
:27:54. > :28:03.to attack Rupert Murdoch as he and his son answered questions. This is
:28:03. > :28:09.not an excuse. The News of the World is less than 1% of my company
:28:09. > :28:13.and employs -- that implies 53,000 people around the world. We are
:28:13. > :28:17.proud, great and ethical and distinguished people.
