:00:01. > :00:04.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines:
:00:04. > :00:14.Joshua Davies is jailed indefinitely for the murder of his
:00:14. > :00:15.
:00:15. > :00:18.ex-girlfriend Rebecca Aylward. Her mother describes him as evil.
:00:18. > :00:21.We will never forgive him for tearing our family apart so
:00:22. > :00:31.brutally and would welcome the return of capital punishment for
:00:32. > :00:42.
:00:42. > :00:47.Also in the programme. What price our local democracy? Has
:00:47. > :00:50.the power of the ballot box been suspended on places like Anglesey
:00:51. > :00:54.in the quest for better services? Marilyn Duffy was trampled to death
:00:54. > :00:57.by cows. Tonight, warnings of the dangers of walking dogs near farm
:00:57. > :01:00.animals. Inside the Severn Tunnel. As this
:01:00. > :01:04.feat of Victorian engineering celebrates 125 years, is it fit for
:01:04. > :01:08.the future? In tonight's sport, Gary Speed
:01:08. > :01:13.tells his players they need to be horrible if they're going to beat
:01:13. > :01:16.Montenegro tonight. And, remembering the good times -
:01:16. > :01:26.cricket legend Sir Viv Richards says it's good to back
:01:26. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:39.Good evening. I don't know whether my surname has anything to do it
:01:39. > :01:41.but there has always been a great welcome. A teenager found guilty of
:01:41. > :01:44.murdering his ex-girlfriend has been jailed indefinitely and told
:01:45. > :01:46.he'll serve a minimum of 14 years in prison. A judge in Swansea
:01:47. > :01:48.described 16-year-old Joshua Davies as devious, calculating and
:01:49. > :01:53.controlling, after he lured schoolgirl Rebecca Aylward into
:01:53. > :01:57.woodland near Bridgend and killed her. Today, her mother called for
:01:57. > :02:02.the return of the death penalty for the teenager she described as evil.
:02:02. > :02:06.Nicola Smith reports. Rebecca Aylward was bludgeoned to
:02:06. > :02:11.death by the person she once called her boyfriend. She'd known Joshua
:02:11. > :02:16.Davies for years. He was a regular and welcome visitor to her home in
:02:16. > :02:19.Maesteg. Her mother said he was almost part of the family. But on
:02:19. > :02:22.October 23rd last year, he arranged to meet her in this secluded
:02:22. > :02:28.woodland. Rebecca thought he was going to rekindle their
:02:28. > :02:32.relationship. Instead, he murdered her. She was found face down in the
:02:32. > :02:36.dirt. The rock he used was discovered nearby. Her skull had
:02:36. > :02:44.been broken in four places. Today, Joshua Davies was told he'd serve a
:02:44. > :02:49.minimum of 14 years in prison. There is no doubt in my mind that
:02:49. > :02:53.Rebecca was destined for great things but that the evil to would
:02:53. > :02:57.Joshua Davis robbed us of watching our precious and perfect little
:02:57. > :03:01.girl flourish into a successful and caring young woman. We will never
:03:01. > :03:08.forgive him for tearing our family apart so brutally and would welcome
:03:08. > :03:13.the return of capital punishment for the likes of Joshua Davis. He
:03:13. > :03:16.forfeited his human rights when he chose to take my daughter's life.
:03:16. > :03:19.During the trial, the court heard that Davies openly plotted to
:03:19. > :03:23.murder her, sending chilling text messages to his friends about how
:03:23. > :03:26.he planned to do it. The jury heard that one friend offered to buy him
:03:26. > :03:31.breakfast at this cafe if Davies killed her. In evidence, that
:03:32. > :03:35.friend insisted it was a joke. He didn't think Davies would do it. In
:03:35. > :03:43.fact, none of his friends did, but Rebecca's family say they still
:03:43. > :03:47.wish someone had told them what he was threatening to do. If I had a
:03:47. > :03:53.little part of it, I would have told either Rebecca or you. But I
:03:53. > :03:57.didn't know anything. I can't believe nobody told us anything. I
:03:58. > :04:00.am very disappointed in them for not saying. In a packed courtroom,
:04:00. > :04:05.Davies' mother and father stared straight ahead as their son was
:04:05. > :04:08.told he may never leave prison for what he did. Sentencing Davies, the
:04:08. > :04:12.judge told him, "I'm satisfied that in the days leading up to Rebecca's
:04:12. > :04:15.death, you planned to kill her. In all of this, you have shown
:04:15. > :04:18.yourself to be devious, calculating and controlling and you have shown
:04:18. > :04:21.no remorse". Then, speaking directly to Rebecca's family, he
:04:21. > :04:29.said that the sentence wasn't intended to reflect the value of
:04:29. > :04:32.life lost. No sentence, he said, however severe, could do that.
:04:32. > :04:36.Democracy in Wales could be undermined if the Welsh Government
:04:36. > :04:39.continues to appoint commissioners to run local councils. That's the
:04:39. > :04:42.warning today from a top local government expert. The
:04:42. > :04:46.commissioners, who are unelected, can be been imposed when councils
:04:46. > :04:50.run into difficulties. Of the 22 councils in Wales, two - Anglesey
:04:50. > :04:54.and Blaenau Gwent - have commissioners. And it's possible
:04:54. > :04:56.Pembrokeshire could soon be the third. Compare that to England
:04:56. > :05:05.where commissioners are involved in running one of the 152 councils
:05:05. > :05:10.there. We are left them and then expect
:05:10. > :05:14.them to run our services. It is how democracy works. But what happens
:05:14. > :05:18.when it goes wrong? The theory goes that if we don't like the way our
:05:18. > :05:23.elected representatives do things, we kick them out at the next
:05:23. > :05:27.election. But on Anglesey, it did not quite work that way. A decision
:05:27. > :05:31.was taken in Cardiff that the elected council leadership was not
:05:31. > :05:36.up to the job so unelected commissioners were appointed to
:05:36. > :05:40.take over. And it is not just Anglesey. In July, commissioners
:05:40. > :05:43.took over the running of education in Blaenau Gwent. The Welsh
:05:43. > :05:47.government has not ruled out doing the same thing in Pembrokeshire
:05:47. > :05:54.which children's services have been criticised. It is the suspension of
:05:54. > :05:59.local democracy according to one academic. Even if one concedes the
:05:59. > :06:04.occasional need for commissioners, and I think that is a very
:06:04. > :06:08.occasional need, it has not been done much in other parts of Britain,
:06:08. > :06:13.even in the most extreme circumstances it was not done, for
:06:13. > :06:16.example, in Liverpool in the 1980s. People will find they are
:06:16. > :06:22.effectively short of any legitimate way of accessing the political
:06:22. > :06:30.power that is wielded locally. Anglesey, the problems go back
:06:30. > :06:34.years. In 2009, a report criticised political infighting. The recovery
:06:34. > :06:39.board was appointed to advise the councillors. It reinspection found
:06:39. > :06:42.that problems had not gone away. In March, the Welsh government
:06:42. > :06:47.appointed a team of five commissioners, none of them elected,
:06:47. > :06:51.to take the reins. They could be in charge for two years. The idea is
:06:51. > :06:54.that the commissioner's work alongside the elected councillors,
:06:54. > :06:57.although it is the unelected commissioners who get to make all
:06:57. > :07:00.the big decisions. From conversations I have had on
:07:00. > :07:04.Anglesey, even some of those councillors who have lost power
:07:04. > :07:08.seemed to think the commissioners are making a difference. But
:07:08. > :07:15.critics will still argue there is a principle at stake here. Is
:07:15. > :07:18.democracy more important than efficiently run services?
:07:18. > :07:23.Let's talk to our Welsh Affairs Editor. How have the last
:07:23. > :07:30.government reacted to these criticisms? The government say they
:07:30. > :07:34.only ever used commissioners as a last resort. In the case of
:07:34. > :07:39.Anglesey, they had been attempts to use a recovery board and those
:07:39. > :07:42.problems had been going on for decades. In the case of a brain I
:07:42. > :07:49.went, you're talking about education so you're talking about
:07:49. > :07:54.the future of children growing up in Blaenau Gwent. Local government
:07:54. > :07:57.say that is more important than applauding the democratic rights of
:07:57. > :08:01.castles for what should be a reasonably brief period. The last
:08:01. > :08:04.government is very bullish about this. It probably is true to say
:08:04. > :08:08.that because Wells is a small country, but there are only 22
:08:08. > :08:15.councils, perhaps the government here is more aware that when
:08:15. > :08:18.councils go wrong down the government in Westminster. And the
:08:18. > :08:23.assembly is not sitting at the moment so will Assembly members
:08:23. > :08:26.discuss this when they get back? am certain they will. This week has
:08:26. > :08:31.been very interesting because we had a story about regional boards
:08:31. > :08:34.as well. I think local government is moving up the agenda very
:08:34. > :08:38.rapidly in Cardiff Bay. There has been a change of tone this week
:08:38. > :08:43.from people close to the government where they don't seem to be quite
:08:43. > :08:49.as a post as they were two forcing some smaller councils to emerge. It
:08:49. > :08:53.looks as if some sort of reorganisation in local government
:08:53. > :08:56.looks more likely than it did at the beginning.
:08:56. > :09:00.The funeral has taken place of a 22-year-old man who died after
:09:00. > :09:03.getting into difficulty in the sea off Anglesey. Lewis Darroch from
:09:03. > :09:06.Valley went missing last week. Yesterday, a body recovered from
:09:06. > :09:10.the sea at Rhosneigr was confirmed as that of his friend, Callum
:09:10. > :09:14.Mackay. The search for him had previously been called off.
:09:14. > :09:18.Work has started on a �1 billion project to build around 4,000 new
:09:18. > :09:21.homes on the site of the former Llanwern steelworks in Newport.
:09:21. > :09:24.Developers say the houses will be built over the next 20 years,
:09:24. > :09:33.creating 6,000 jobs, as well as a business park, a GPs' surgery and
:09:33. > :09:36.supermarket. The new area will be called Glan Llyn.
:09:36. > :09:41.A woman trampled to death by cows in Cardiff has been named as 61-
:09:41. > :09:51.year-old Marilyn Duffy. She was walking her friend's dog in a field
:09:51. > :09:53.in the Radyr area of the city on Monday. Nick Palit has more.
:09:53. > :09:57.This lane is popular with dog- walkers using the woods and fields
:09:58. > :10:04.to exercise their pets. But for Marilyn Duffy, this everyday
:10:04. > :10:08.occurrence turn to Chandra J -- tragedy. She was knocked down by
:10:08. > :10:13.cattle and trampled to death at. Local people are horrified by the
:10:13. > :10:18.accident. If it is such a tragic accident. A lot of people walk
:10:18. > :10:24.their dogs in the field there. I don't go there myself that. I met
:10:24. > :10:29.the lady once and she seemed a lovely lady. It is such a shame.
:10:29. > :10:34.For I think the whole village will be devastated and shocked by it all.
:10:34. > :10:39.Today, the Farmers' Union of Wales issued advice to any members of the
:10:39. > :10:42.public that encounter farm animals while walking dogs across fields.
:10:42. > :10:48.If you find yourself in that predicament where they are coming
:10:48. > :10:53.towards you and they are challenging, it is the dog that is
:10:53. > :10:57.the threat. Let that dog go because that is why they are attacking you
:10:57. > :11:04.all seen you as a threat could. It is not you personally, it is the
:11:04. > :11:07.dog up. The dog will fend for itself. Akin Radyr, the police say
:11:07. > :11:11.there were no suspicious circumstances and the coroner has
:11:11. > :11:14.been informed. Still ahead:
:11:14. > :11:23.The fans were waiting and there's a warm Maori welcome - Wales arrive
:11:23. > :11:27.in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup.

:11:41. > :11:45.stopped. The Severn Tunnel is 125-years-old
:11:45. > :11:49.this weekend. The rail link which joins South Wales and England is a
:11:49. > :11:52.feat of Victorian engineering. Around 200 trains pass through the
:11:52. > :11:57.tunnel every day but, given its age, is it still fit for 21st Century
:11:57. > :12:00.use? Carwyn Jones has been finding out.
:12:00. > :12:04.Victorian engineers built things to last and one of their greatest
:12:04. > :12:07.achievements was designing a rail network to span Britain. In 1886,
:12:07. > :12:12.the Severn Tunnel was opened, linking South Wales to the West of
:12:12. > :12:17.England. Then, as now, the operational hub of the tunnel was
:12:17. > :12:25.the pumping station at Sudbrook in Monmouthshire. Nigel Edwards is the
:12:26. > :12:31.fourth generation from his family to work at the tunnel. Theroux is
:12:31. > :12:39.not a pretty out of place. It is 125 years old. There has been no
:12:39. > :12:42.corners cut anywhere. You look at this and it is absolutely amazing.
:12:42. > :12:46.At more than four miles long, the Severn Tunnel was the longest
:12:46. > :12:53.mainline railway tunnel in the UK for well over a century. But
:12:53. > :12:56.keeping this rail link open requires constant maintenance. I am
:12:56. > :13:00.200 ft underground and the noise you can hear his spring water
:13:00. > :13:04.flowing beneath me. To keep this a tunnel dry and operational, they
:13:04. > :13:07.have to pump up 10 million gallons of that water every day.
:13:07. > :13:10.And that's just one of the challenges faced by Network Rail,
:13:10. > :13:13.who own the UK's rail infrastructure. Earlier this year,
:13:13. > :13:16.plans to electrify the rail line between London and Cardiff were
:13:16. > :13:19.finally given the go ahead, paving the way for a reduced commuter time
:13:19. > :13:29.between England and Wales. That will mean modernising and
:13:29. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:34.overhauling this 125-year-old tunnel and that's no easy task.
:13:34. > :13:37.are looking at finding enough space to accommodate wires and we are
:13:37. > :13:41.looking at the environment which can be quite damp in the tunnel.
:13:41. > :13:44.These are some of the constraints we need to consider. The design of
:13:44. > :13:48.the Severn Tunnel has remained largely the same since the day it
:13:48. > :13:52.opened in 1886. And with more than 7,000 trains passing through it
:13:52. > :13:55.each year, it's certainly stood the test of time. But its biggest
:13:55. > :14:00.challenge is just around the corner - making this Victorian tunnel fit
:14:00. > :14:04.for the 21st Century. Wales have arrived in New Zealand.
:14:04. > :14:09.With news on that and the rest of the day's sport, here's Claire.
:14:09. > :14:12.Good evening. They call it the beautiful game but, tonight, Wales'
:14:12. > :14:16.football manager will ask his team to be horrible in the pursuit of
:14:16. > :14:19.victory. Gary Speed wants his side to show a tougher competitive edge
:14:19. > :14:21.against Montenegro as they try to climb back up the world rankings
:14:21. > :14:24.from their lowly position of 117th. Here's Ashleigh Crowter.
:14:24. > :14:28.Nice boys don't always produce a nice football. That seems to be the
:14:28. > :14:32.message from Gary Speed as his team prepare for a European qualifier
:14:32. > :14:35.double-header. Someone had told the boss his players would make lovely
:14:36. > :14:44.son-in-law's. But tonight he will be asking his players to be
:14:44. > :14:51.arrogant, even horrible, to get the right result against Montenegro.
:14:51. > :14:57.still want to go out there and win and we still go into tackles. Maybe
:14:57. > :15:03.one or two can be a bit nastier but, including myself go. Wales's hopes
:15:03. > :15:06.of qualifying are long gone. No wins and no points from their first
:15:06. > :15:10.four games. They would dearly love to win their remaining four games
:15:10. > :15:15.including Montenegro tonight and England on Tuesday, but with a very
:15:15. > :15:18.different motive in mind. We could have played a bit better and got
:15:18. > :15:21.better results but we are looking longer term and we have got to
:15:21. > :15:25.cement that playing style. If it means going through what we have
:15:25. > :15:30.been through, it is a process we have to go through to make sure we
:15:30. > :15:34.are successful in the future. This time next year that is the start of
:15:34. > :15:40.the World Cup campaign. That is the important time. These next four
:15:40. > :15:43.games we can use as a dress rehearsal. There may be a few
