:00:07. > :00:17.arrested in connection with the deaths of four men at Gleision

:00:17. > :00:26.

:01:01. > :01:05.admits he considered cheating. discussed in the box, would be fake

:01:05. > :01:14.an injury to one of our props? But morally, I made the decision that

:01:14. > :01:16.was not the right thing to do. Good evening. A 55 year-old man is

:01:16. > :01:19.being questioned tonight after being arrested in connection with

:01:19. > :01:22.the deaths of four miners at the Gleision Colliery last month. The

:01:22. > :01:25.BBC understands he is the mine manager, Malcolm Fyfield. He is

:01:25. > :01:30.being held at Port Talbot police station. Sian Lloyd is there for us

:01:30. > :01:34.tonight. Sian, what more can you tell us?

:01:34. > :01:38.Malcolm Fyfield was brought here for questioning after being

:01:38. > :01:43.arrested at an address in the Swansea Valley this morning. The

:01:43. > :01:47.families of the miners who died are being kept up to date with

:01:47. > :01:53.developments. Malcolm Fyfield was one of the two miners who managed

:01:53. > :01:58.to escape from the colliery. He was the mind manager. He was injured

:01:58. > :02:04.and spent some time afterwards been treated in hospital in Swansea.

:02:04. > :02:09.South Wales police say he has been arrested on suspicion of gross

:02:09. > :02:16.negligence manslaughter. On September 15th, four miners lost

:02:16. > :02:25.their lives underground. They were Phillip Hill, Charles Breslin,

:02:25. > :02:27.David Powell and Garry Jenkins. Since then, the Health and Safety

:02:27. > :02:32.Executive and South Wales Police have been investigating to try and

:02:32. > :02:38.find out what happened. Their examination of the scene is now

:02:38. > :02:43.complete. The Gleision Colliery is now closed and under the control

:02:43. > :02:46.off the Coal Authority. What happens next?

:02:46. > :02:51.We are really waiting for developments here at the police

:02:51. > :02:54.station this evening. The senior investigating officer in the case,

:02:55. > :02:59.Detective Chief Inspector Dorian Lloyd, did release a statement

:03:00. > :03:05.earlier today, it reads, the arrest follows consultation between South

:03:05. > :03:09.Wales Police, the Health and Safety Executive and the Crown Prosecution

:03:09. > :03:12.Service. We continue to work closely with the bereaved families

:03:12. > :03:18.and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the

:03:18. > :03:23.communities affected for their continued support and patients. We

:03:23. > :03:26.will do everything possible, he says, to fully understand how these

:03:27. > :03:33.four men lost their lives and if we do get any further developments, we

:03:33. > :03:40.will bring them to you. Two Britons, believed to be from

:03:40. > :03:44.Cardiff, are being questioned by anti-terrorism police in Kenya. The

:03:44. > :03:49.father of one of them has told the BBC his son was brainwashed. A

:03:49. > :03:55.pilot flew to Kenya to get her son back. The pair were arrested at the

:03:56. > :04:04.island resort of Lamu, close to the country's border with Somalia.

:04:04. > :04:11.Their families say they are glad they are both safe and well. They

:04:11. > :04:15.are suspected of having links with the Islamist group, al-Shabaab.

:04:15. > :04:20.In the Kenyan capital, his father had been on a desperate mission

:04:20. > :04:23.from Wales to save his son from possible Islamic extremists. He has

:04:23. > :04:27.travelled from Cardiff to stop his teenage son from crossing the

:04:27. > :04:37.border into Somalia or, but the family fear he may have joined a

:04:37. > :04:44.training camp run by the rebel group al-Shabaab. My son was in

:04:44. > :04:52.Cardiff, and back but he was coming here to go to the war in Somalia.

:04:52. > :04:58.Then I came to find him. You have the foot of your son and that

:04:58. > :05:03.helped the police find him? Thanks to his actions, the to 18-

:05:03. > :05:09.year-olds were arrested by Kenyan anti-terror police. They are still

:05:09. > :05:12.being questioned. The boys had known each other for many years.

:05:12. > :05:17.Mohamed was due to start university in Swansea. Around ten days ago,

:05:17. > :05:20.they both went missing. It seems the family of the two teenagers

:05:20. > :05:23.were worried the had become radicalised and many have not seen

:05:23. > :05:28.them for more than a week, they feared they may have gone to

:05:28. > :05:30.Ismaelia to an Islamist training camp. Community leaders held a

:05:30. > :05:34.meeting at will local leisure centre and took a decision to call

:05:34. > :05:38.in South Wales Police and the Foreign Office and warn them of

:05:38. > :05:44.their concerns. The most positive thing is that community in Cardiff

:05:44. > :05:48.worried about these young men, worried about the possible

:05:48. > :05:52.radicalisation, came together in an extraordinary manner with the

:05:52. > :05:56.community leaders, with an open door to people like myself and

:05:56. > :06:04.others and have responded positively. The Somali and

:06:04. > :06:06.Pakistani community in Cardiff he should a joint statement. We are

:06:06. > :06:11.grateful that the authority in collaboration with the communities

:06:11. > :06:17.were able to establish the whereabouts of the two youths.

:06:17. > :06:21.Until the two youths arrive back home, we are not in a position to

:06:21. > :06:31.make any further comment. Back in Kenya, the authorities are getting

:06:31. > :06:32.

:06:32. > :06:35.ready to deport the young Britons. Once home, it will be up to the

:06:35. > :06:38.British authorities to decide what happens to them.

:06:38. > :06:41.A man wanted by police in connection with the death of a

:06:41. > :06:44.teenager has been arrested in India. Aamir Siddiqi was killed at the

:06:44. > :06:47.front door of his home in Cardiff last year. South Wales Police said

:06:47. > :06:51.Mohammed Ali Ege has been arrested in India, on suspicion of

:06:51. > :06:55.conspiracy to commit murder. Two men are standing trial for murder,

:06:55. > :06:58.which they deny. The jury was told of the arrest, and the case was

:06:58. > :07:01.adjourned for the day. A care home owner from Prestatyn

:07:01. > :07:08.has been fined almost �6,000 for the neglect of three elderly people

:07:08. > :07:11.in her care. Brenda Smythe runs the Highcroft home in Prestatyn. She

:07:11. > :07:14.pleaded guilty to allowing two of her residents to develop bed sores,

:07:14. > :07:21.and failing to ensure she had enough skilled and competent staff

:07:21. > :07:24.on duty. She was ordered to pay �15,000 in court costs.

:07:24. > :07:30.The fall-out from Wales' defeat in the World Cup semi-final continues.

:07:30. > :07:36.made by Warren Gatland that he considered asking a forward to fake

:07:36. > :07:43.an injury during the defeat to France. The move could have held

:07:43. > :07:46.Wales after captain Sam Warburton was sent off. -- could have helped.

:07:46. > :07:48.Gatland says he quickly rejected the idea. The Wales coach has also

:07:48. > :07:55.named his team for Friday's third place play-off against Australia.

:07:55. > :08:00.From Auckland, Ashleigh Crowter. Wales say they have to draw the

:08:00. > :08:04.line under the semi-final, nothing can change things now. But Warren

:08:04. > :08:08.Gatland remains adamant the referee made the wrong decision about Sam

:08:08. > :08:13.Warburton's tackle, while in contrast, his coaching team did the

:08:13. > :08:18.right thing under pressure. To get a yellow card would have been

:08:18. > :08:22.appropriate, that is why these guys are appointed as top referees,

:08:22. > :08:29.because they make their own decisions. I will give you an

:08:29. > :08:36.example. What happened after that. We had lost Adam Jones. We

:08:36. > :08:39.discussed in the box, would be fake an injury to one of their props? --

:08:39. > :08:49.one of our props. Morally, I made the decision it was the wrong thing

:08:49. > :08:51.

:08:51. > :08:54.to do. We could have easily gone took... But in the spirit of the

:08:54. > :08:58.game, despaired of the World Cup semi-final, I did not think that

:08:58. > :09:04.was the fairest thing or the right thing to do. That is why I honestly

:09:04. > :09:09.believe the referee made the wrong decision. In professional sport,

:09:09. > :09:13.there is always an opportunity to manipulate a lot. But we did not go

:09:13. > :09:17.there. It is a tribute to warrant that he expressed that, because

:09:17. > :09:22.people in the game news that could have been considered, but we did

:09:22. > :09:27.not go there. Warren Gatland has picked his strongest possible side

:09:27. > :09:32.to try and win Friday's play-off against Australia. With captain Sam

:09:32. > :09:42.Warburton suspended, the skipper's armband has been passed to get in

:09:42. > :09:46.

:09:47. > :09:51.Paul James replaces Adam Jones, who is injured, while Bradley Davies

:09:51. > :09:55.will start at lock with Alun Wyn Jones moving to the bench. There is

:09:55. > :10:02.no change in the backs. Shane Williams lines up for what could be

:10:02. > :10:06.his final test before retirement. And James Hook gets the nod over

:10:06. > :10:09.Stephen Jones at fly half. Much more to come before 7 o'clock:

:10:09. > :10:19.More from the world of rugby, some breaking sports news - Gavin Henson

:10:19. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:23.Children under the age of 16 could be stopped from having piercings

:10:23. > :10:28.without their parents' permission. The Welsh Government is looking at

:10:28. > :10:31.whether there should be a legal age of consent for all piercing.

:10:31. > :10:35.Ministers say that some piercings could become infected. But others

:10:35. > :10:43.are concerned children will do it themselves. Here is our health

:10:43. > :10:47.correspondent Arwyn Jones. It is an increasingly popular

:10:47. > :10:51.fashion statement. Some piercings salons like this one in Swansea

:10:52. > :10:56.imposed their own age restrictions, but in England, Wales and Northern

:10:56. > :11:00.Ireland, there is a lot to say how old you have to be before you can

:11:00. > :11:05.have you are ears were other body parts peers. We do navel piercing

:11:05. > :11:10.from the age of 13 along is there is parental consent. A 13-year-old

:11:10. > :11:13.is not going to be fully developed, so the chance of potential

:11:13. > :11:18.migration, movement through the skin, is going to be higher than it

:11:18. > :11:22.would be on a 20-year-old. Even though there is only seven or eight

:11:22. > :11:25.years' difference. Research suggests that 25% of those that

:11:25. > :11:29.have a cosmetic piercing other than through the year experience

:11:29. > :11:37.something of complication. Three years ago, a petition was laid at

:11:37. > :11:39.the Senedd, under-16s to need their parents petition. I looked into the

:11:39. > :11:47.regulation to see what kind of regulation there was an were

:11:47. > :11:50.shocked find it was unregulated. And that anybody could Pearce your

:11:50. > :11:55.child, there is nothing as a parent you could do about it as long as

:11:55. > :11:58.that child had given permission. Scotland has already introduced a

:11:58. > :12:02.loss of that parents have to be with those under 16 to get a

:12:02. > :12:08.piercing. The Assembly also has the power to legislate now and the

:12:08. > :12:13.Government intends to use it. am in favour of setting the age of

:12:13. > :12:17.16. Young people of that later able to mature we identify and consider

:12:17. > :12:21.the short and long-term risks and implications of having a cosmetic

:12:21. > :12:26.piercing. Legislating in this way merely to young people taking

:12:26. > :12:31.matters into their own hands, and piercing themselves in an unsafe or

:12:31. > :12:35.unhygienic way, or going through a disreputable business which is not

:12:35. > :12:41.registered. I wonder what safeguards the Minister intends to

:12:41. > :12:45.bring forward. In this school, these 14-year-olds agreed that a

:12:45. > :12:50.new law should be introduced. you are over the age of 16, you

:12:50. > :12:53.should be able to make the decision yourself, it is your own body.

:12:53. > :12:58.would not go on my own to have the piercing in case something went

:12:58. > :13:02.wrong. You can get infections and it is quite painful. The cost a lot

:13:03. > :13:06.of money. There are those who say it will be difficult to police.

:13:06. > :13:10.They will all get to have their say as the Government consults between

:13:10. > :13:12.now and the end of January. What you will be watching on

:13:12. > :13:14.television has been under discussion today with major

:13:14. > :13:21.announcements being made by all three main Welsh television

:13:21. > :13:24.services. Let's talk to our Welsh affairs editor, Vaughan Roderick.

:13:24. > :13:29.S4C have finally got a new boss, but you will have to wait until

:13:29. > :13:34.next year before he starts work. They confirm that the new boss will

:13:34. > :13:37.be Ian Jones. He now works for an American television company. But

:13:37. > :13:40.that company was not willing to release him from his contract.

:13:41. > :13:45.There had been like the negotiations and he will now be

:13:45. > :13:49.released, but possibly as late as April. There are people within the

:13:49. > :13:53.industry who think that is an awfully long wait, which could

:13:54. > :14:03.cause damage to my positions between S4C and the BBC and

:14:04. > :14:05.

:14:05. > :14:09.independent producers. - back At the latest, he will be with us

:14:09. > :14:13.in April. We are hopeful that situation will end up as being an

:14:13. > :14:17.earlier date but we cannot confirm that at the moment. The earlier the

:14:17. > :14:24.better but we have a strong team in place. They will continue to do the

:14:24. > :14:29.work they are doing at the moment. And in use today from the BBC.

:14:29. > :14:35.may be the most important news of the day. From 2015, the BBC takes

:14:35. > :14:40.over not the whole of the funding of S4C but the bulk of it. S4C has

:14:40. > :14:45.been very worried that the BBC might cut further and divert money

:14:45. > :14:51.to other parts of the licence-fee settlement, particularly the BBC

:14:51. > :14:56.itself up. Today, the Welsh member of the BBC press said that they

:14:56. > :15:01.would reach a decision on Monday that S4C would have a financial

:15:01. > :15:07.certainty up until the end of the BBC's own charter in 2017. She said

:15:07. > :15:15.the settlement would be generous. was able to say today that when the

:15:15. > :15:22.trust meets next Monday, but we will be able to look at a very

:15:22. > :15:26.substantial and generous settlement. I hope that will be made public the

:15:26. > :15:32.following week. You would assume the television industry was still a

:15:32. > :15:39.period of calm but no sign of that on the jobs front today. Boomerang,

:15:39. > :15:43.one of the leading suppliers to S4C announced it was losing almost 20

:15:43. > :15:48.jobs, halving its workforce due to lack of commissions. But there was

:15:48. > :15:52.some good news which came from ITV Wales, which has been beleaguered

:15:52. > :15:56.over the last decade, the conference where all these

:15:56. > :16:00.announcements were made today was told that ITV sees no prospect of

:16:00. > :16:10.reducing any further the number of English-language productions of

:16:10. > :16:12.

:16:12. > :16:14.news programmes that are produced in Wales, for Wales.

:16:14. > :16:17.Changing sickness benefit in Wales will be an uncomfortable and

:16:17. > :16:20.challenging process for claimants, according to the UK Minister in

:16:20. > :16:22.charge of the reforms. Incapacity benefit is being scrapped and most

:16:23. > :16:25.people will be moved onto work- related benefits. Tonight's Week in

:16:25. > :16:33.Week Out follows three generations of the same unemployed family in

:16:33. > :16:38.the South Wales Valleys as they face up to the changes.

:16:38. > :16:42.This is a town in the South Wales valleys. More than half of the

:16:42. > :16:46.population are working but almost one-in-five are on sickness

:16:46. > :16:54.benefits and they are just some of the 180,000 people in Wales who

:16:54. > :17:01.claim them, receiving up to �99 a week. This family live in the town.

:17:01. > :17:05.Three generations are on benefits. Half on the sick. There is no work

:17:05. > :17:12.out a. How can they throw people off the sick when they are not very

:17:12. > :17:16.well. It is totally wrong. Everyone on sickness benefits will be tested.

:17:16. > :17:26.Tommy Harris was honoured for depression but is trying to find a

:17:26. > :17:26.

:17:26. > :17:30.job there. I don't want to be on the sick. If it works, it works.

:17:30. > :17:35.But in an area where 10 people are chasing every JobCentre vacancy,

:17:35. > :17:40.one leading academics says Tommy and tens of thousands of others

:17:40. > :17:45.will struggle to find work. A in the Welsh valleys in particular,

:17:45. > :17:48.more people are looking for work and they will simply find there is

:17:48. > :17:53.a grape that scramble for the few jobs that are available. I don't

:17:53. > :17:57.think it will bring benefits numbers down. The UK government is

:17:57. > :18:02.promising help for anyone it decides can work to compete for a

:18:02. > :18:06.job. We are asking people to go through a challenging period. We

:18:06. > :18:10.are trying to steal many of them into a different direction in their

:18:10. > :18:14.lives. Some people feel uncomfortable about that. But I am

:18:14. > :18:21.also convinced those we can get into employment will look back and

:18:21. > :18:24.say, that was the right thing to happen. It is the government's

:18:24. > :18:34.assessment process recognising those people who want to sit to

:18:34. > :18:36.

:18:36. > :18:42.work like stroke victim and e- mails? -- Anna Mills? I don't need

:18:42. > :18:48.to worry of a thinking, I have got to go back to work. I could lose my

:18:48. > :18:52.benefits. The assessment process will last until 2014 and could save

:18:52. > :18:55.at billion pounds for the UK taxpayer. With the highest sickness

:18:56. > :18:58.benefit rates in Britain, Wales will be most affected.

:18:58. > :19:08.Erika Helps is from the Citizens Advice Bureau. What's been your

:19:08. > :19:11.experience as the benefits system has changed? We are seeing more and

:19:12. > :19:16.more clients, month on month, and people who were really concerned

:19:16. > :19:20.about what they are hearing from other media. People sitting at home

:19:20. > :19:24.watching that report will be concerned, in particular, if they

:19:24. > :19:29.are receiving benefits, and I am thinking of long-term sickness

:19:29. > :19:34.benefits. Should they be? They will be concerned and for some of those

:19:34. > :19:39.people they are going to change benefits. Our advice is to go to a

:19:39. > :19:44.Citizens Advice Bureau and get some help early on. What sort of redress

:19:44. > :19:49.to you have? Unfortunately, some people will be required to look for

:19:49. > :19:53.work and we will help people make that transition if they need help.

:19:53. > :19:56.The lady in the report said that one day she can be OK with her

:19:56. > :20:01.illness and the next day she is laid low. What about people like

:20:01. > :20:05.that? For people with a variable conditions, many of those will

:20:05. > :20:08.still meet the conditions for entitlement for the new benefits

:20:08. > :20:12.and they will need help to make their case so that the Department

:20:12. > :20:17.for work and pensions understand the impact of their disability.

:20:17. > :20:22.know you have been a benefit fraud investigator or in a previous life.

:20:22. > :20:28.You have seen at first hand families who have played the system

:20:28. > :20:31.for years. Yes, I have seen both sides of it, but the money is

:20:31. > :20:36.limited and we need to make sure the people who almost entitled Get

:20:36. > :20:41.that help now when they needed. There is a lot of political capital

:20:41. > :20:49.being put into reforming benefits in the UK. In your experience, is

:20:49. > :20:52.this going to work? It is a mammoth task. The money isn't there for

:20:52. > :20:56.paying everybody so we need to make sure that the most vulnerable are

:20:56. > :21:00.protected and receiving the entitlement they argue. We're

:21:00. > :21:05.talking about the most vulnerable people here, people that rightly

:21:06. > :21:12.deserved benefit. For people who are concerned, we should their

:21:23. > :21:28.Breaking sports news tonight from the world of rugby, and it's

:21:28. > :21:37.understood that Gavin Henson is signing for Cardiff Blues. Scrum V

:21:37. > :21:43.reporter Phil Steele is in our newsroom. How much of a surprise is

:21:43. > :21:47.this? It is not a surprise in as much as he is returning to rugby.

:21:47. > :21:49.He has said he wants to get back in the Welsh team had to do that he

:21:50. > :21:53.needs to be playing rugby, preferably in Wales. It is a

:21:53. > :21:59.surprise that he has chosen the Cardiff Blues because he has been

:21:59. > :22:03.on record as saying he wanted to be with the Ospreys. Also, the fact

:22:03. > :22:07.that the Cardiff Blues did not make any signings over the summer. They

:22:07. > :22:11.cited financial cutbacks that they wanted to make. The fact they are

:22:11. > :22:16.having to find the wage here is a bit of a surprise. Also, when he

:22:16. > :22:20.does go back to the Cardiff Blues, he will be up against Jamie Roberts,

:22:20. > :22:25.who has been outstanding in this World Cup. The question is whether

:22:25. > :22:33.he would even get in the first team. The Blues might be looking at him

:22:33. > :22:38.playing at Ten. And all this after a colourful career. Is he a rugby

:22:38. > :22:42.player orate reality TV star? He remains Wales's most recognised

:22:42. > :22:45.player. This is probably his last throw of the dice.

:22:46. > :22:49.How do you encourage children to love reading? Literature Wales have

:22:49. > :22:52.tasked a poet and novelist from Newport to inspire more of them to

:22:52. > :22:54.pick up a book. Tonight, Catherine Fisher is being announced as Wales'

:22:55. > :23:03.first Young People's Laureate at a ceremony in Cardiff. Our reporter

:23:03. > :23:07.Kate Morgan is there. If you take a look behind me, this

:23:07. > :23:10.corner of a busy shopping centre in Cardiff has become a literature

:23:10. > :23:15.lounged this evening and these people are here to make one woman,

:23:15. > :23:20.and that is the woman pasta with getting teenagers across Wales to

:23:20. > :23:25.read more. Wales's first ever Young People's Laureate. Here she is,

:23:25. > :23:29.Catherine Fisher. That you for joining us. What is your priority?

:23:29. > :23:38.My priority is to bring books and children together and to to show

:23:38. > :23:43.that reading is pleasurable and not work. Teenagers would probably be

:23:43. > :23:46.the hardest group to get involved in reading and writing. It will be

:23:46. > :23:52.very interesting. I get a lot of feedback from teenagers who enjoy

:23:52. > :23:55.books. The whole idea of the project is to take books to groups

:23:55. > :24:00.that are not familiar with them where writers and all this don't

:24:00. > :24:04.usually go and there will be a team of writers doing that. You have got

:24:04. > :24:09.the credentials, best-selling novels in the New York Times

:24:09. > :24:13.bestseller list and one of your books could get turned into a film.

:24:13. > :24:17.Do you think you're past could inspire people to get involved?

:24:17. > :24:23.hope so. My books will be used as part of the project which is great.

:24:23. > :24:27.If there is a film, that will help as well. Thank you very much for

:24:27. > :24:33.joining us. I will let you enjoy the celebrations before the hard

:24:33. > :24:42.work begins across the country. The poetry of the weather forecast

:24:42. > :24:46.It's going to stay on the cold side for the next couple of days.

:24:46. > :24:50.Sunshine, showers and some ground frost. So temperatures have taken a

:24:50. > :24:54.tumble. Cardiff managed a respectable 13 degrees Celsius, but

:24:54. > :24:57.only nine Celsius in Tredegar. The average maximum for mid October is

:24:58. > :25:01.about 13 degrees. The cold snap will be a shock to system for some

:25:01. > :25:03.plants and trees. John Linley from Mold still has strawberries in his

:25:03. > :25:06.garden. While Martin Coupland's apple tree in Boverton is confused.

:25:06. > :25:12.It's back in blossom because of the recent mild weather. Tonight, more

:25:12. > :25:18.showers. Most of them in the north and west. Some heavy with hail.

:25:18. > :25:22.Drier in the south-east. The wind easing and cold. Lowest

:25:22. > :25:25.temperatures inland around four or five degrees Celsius. Tomorrow's

:25:25. > :25:28.chart shows a ridge of high pressure to the west of Ireland and

:25:28. > :25:31.that means north-westerly winds for Britain. So, tomorrow morning, a

:25:31. > :25:34.chill in the air again. Parts of the south dry. Some bright skies

:25:34. > :25:37.and sunshine but there will be showers around. Most of them in

:25:37. > :25:40.Powys, Ceredigion and the north. A few heavy ones with hail possible.

:25:40. > :25:43.Snow on the mountain tops. Feeling cold but the wind not as strong as

:25:43. > :25:46.today. So, a mixture of cloud, sunshine and showers tomorrow. Most

:25:46. > :25:49.of the showers in the north and west. Some sunshine in between.

:25:49. > :25:52.Parts of the south and east staying dry. Temperatures below average

:25:52. > :25:54.with a moderate to fresh north- westerly wind. In Rhondda Cynon

:25:54. > :25:57.Taff tomorrow, I wouldn't rule out a shower, but otherwise dry.

:25:57. > :26:00.Temperatures in Porth rising to 10 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow night, a

:26:00. > :26:05.few showers in the north and Aberystwyth. Elsewhere dry and cold.

:26:05. > :26:10.Temperatures falling low enough for some ground frost. A cold start on

:26:10. > :26:13.Thursday but dry apart from a few light showers in the north. Some

:26:13. > :26:17.sunshine and lighter winds. Beyond that, on Friday, the wind will

:26:17. > :26:27.freshen with spots of rain and drizzle in the north and west.

:26:27. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:39.Milder by the weekend but windy It's coming up to seven o'clock.

:26:39. > :26:43.The main headlines from the BBC: There's been another sharp rise in

:26:43. > :26:46.the cost of living. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Prices

:26:46. > :26:49.Index, jumped from 4.5% to 5.2% last month, as higher fuel and

:26:49. > :26:54.energy prices took effect. The Retail Prices Index rate rose from

:26:54. > :26:57.5.2% to 5.6% - its highest level in more than 20 years.

:26:57. > :27:00.A 55-year-old man is being questioned tonight after being

:27:00. > :27:02.arrested in connection with the deaths of four miners at the

:27:02. > :27:05.Gleision Colliery last month. The BBC understands he's the mine

:27:05. > :27:08.manager, Malcolm Fyfield. He's being held at Port Talbot Police

:27:08. > :27:10.Station. The father of one of two teenagers

:27:10. > :27:13.from Cardiff arrested over possible links to a Somali Islamist

:27:13. > :27:19.insurgent group has exclusively told the BBC his son's been

:27:20. > :27:22.brainwashed. The father flew out to Kenya to get his son back. Both men

:27:23. > :27:27.were apprehended near the Kenyan- Somali border on Sunday and will be
