:03:30. > :03:36.with friends in France. We lost three engines out a four but had no

:03:36. > :03:44.option but to bail-out. I travelled right across France. I went over to

:03:44. > :03:48.Spain. I was in prison in Spain for about 10 days. I was in an

:03:48. > :03:54.internment camp for 10 days and then went down to Gibraltar.

:04:28. > :04:37.had to come out on the Bristol channel. One does it like being out

:04:37. > :04:43.on the water again? It is a bit rough. I bet you're in rougher seas

:04:43. > :04:48.than theirs? I bet you were. easier it is the first year that we

:04:48. > :04:53.haven't got many veterans a live from the First World War saw I

:04:53. > :04:58.think it is doubly important that they not be forgotten. The minute's

:04:58. > :05:02.silence is important everyone to take that time and remember that

:05:02. > :05:07.everyone has given their lives to make sure we can live freely and

:05:07. > :05:12.secure lead the way we do today. Exactly 93 years after the guns

:05:12. > :05:16.fell silent on the Western Front thousands remember those who made

:05:16. > :05:19.and continue to make the ultimate sacrifice.

:05:19. > :05:22.Later in the programme we will be following the work of volunteers in

:05:22. > :05:26.the Rhymney Valley who restored their war memorial in time for

:05:26. > :05:28.Armistice Day. For the past few months the community of at

:05:28. > :05:30.Aberbargoed including ex-servicemen and school children have been busy

:05:30. > :05:40.repairing the 91-year-old memorial and building a new garden of

:05:40. > :05:45.Around 100 people have been protesting in Cardiff as part of a

:05:45. > :05:48.global movement against banking and big business. Tents have been put

:05:48. > :05:51.up outside Cardiff Castle tonight. It follows the high-profile camp

:05:51. > :05:56.outside St Paul's Cathedral in London which has been there for

:05:56. > :06:00.almost four weeks. Our reporter Nick Palit is there this evening.

:06:00. > :06:05.You join me at this campsite outside Cardiff Castle. These

:06:05. > :06:10.protesters have been here ran four hours. At the height there were

:06:10. > :06:16.around 100 of them. The police have taken a softly softly approach and

:06:16. > :06:24.they have been praying for rain. The rain has disperse the crowds.

:06:24. > :06:27.There are rare hard core of about 30 remaining. Those he will concede

:06:27. > :06:37.occupied this site. The gathered under the statue of an

:06:54. > :06:59.to build for the future. November 30th is going to be the biggest

:06:59. > :07:02.strike in decades in Britain. Everybody here is behind that. I

:07:02. > :07:08.was at London yesterday and everybody is behind the 30th. We

:07:08. > :07:12.need to stand together and push back against the cutbacks. Within

:07:12. > :07:16.minutes they had marched across the road and set up a campsite on the

:07:16. > :07:21.grass to the side of Cardiff Castle. These protesters claim to be a part

:07:22. > :07:27.of a global movement and many of those involved have taken part in

:07:27. > :07:34.occupations in London and Bristol. Be giving -- the they are giving

:07:34. > :07:38.out leaflets to the public. working-class are fed up of paying

:07:38. > :07:42.for what the banks and the government have done. We don't

:07:42. > :07:47.think it is fair that we had to take cuts in public services and

:07:47. > :07:55.tax payers have to pay higher taxes. I am not camping out, just here to

:07:55. > :07:58.help out in any way I can. I want my kids to have a future. It was a

:07:58. > :08:02.low-key police presence but the protesters were politely informed

:08:02. > :08:06.they were in contravention of an ancient city bylaw and if they did

:08:06. > :08:10.not remove their tents they could be arrested. I have asked them to

:08:10. > :08:14.move. I have spoken to representatives of the group and

:08:14. > :08:20.they will make those representations as to the group.

:08:20. > :08:26.Negotiations failed and the Group - - Group voted to stay put. They

:08:26. > :08:31.hope to disperse the crowd piece fully. The rain is coming down. How

:08:31. > :08:36.are things they? The rain has helped disperse many

:08:36. > :08:42.of the protesters. Many upped and left when the rain came down.

:08:42. > :08:47.Around 30 are here. Around half-an- hour a goat a council official came

:08:47. > :08:52.and told them about the by a lot they were breaking. It is the 1875

:08:52. > :08:57.Public Health Act. If they are not allowed to camp on his property. At

:08:57. > :09:04.the moment, the police are not doing that. The police are standing

:09:04. > :09:07.to one side and they hope things The First Minister has insisted he

:09:07. > :09:10.won't be negotiating in public with the opposition parties as he tries

:09:10. > :09:13.to secure support for the Welsh Government's budget. Labour is

:09:13. > :09:15.without a majority in the Assembly and the Conservatives, Plaid Cymru

:09:16. > :09:25.and the Liberal Democrats have tabled a joint motion criticising

:09:26. > :09:26.

:09:26. > :09:30.Labour's spending decisions. We will keep on talking in good

:09:30. > :09:36.faith to other parties. There is progress, there is work to be done

:09:36. > :09:40.but we know this is the process that happens when we are

:09:40. > :09:43.negotiating a budget. The important thing is sixth November.

:09:43. > :09:46.An investigation by the Public Services Ombudsman into the conduct

:09:46. > :09:48.of three Swansea councillors has been referred to South Wales Police.

:09:48. > :09:51.They will now consider whether a criminal investigation will take

:09:51. > :09:53.place. It has emerged that some schools on

:09:53. > :09:57.Anglesey have had to pay more for their electricity because the

:09:57. > :10:00.council failed to renew a contract. 15 schools paid a total �27,000

:10:00. > :10:05.more than they should have after they were switched to an emergency

:10:05. > :10:10.tariff. Anglesey Council says a procurement problem was to blame

:10:10. > :10:13.and the schools will be reimbursed from central funds.

:10:13. > :10:18.Religious leaders in Wales have defended a growing tendency to hold

:10:18. > :10:22.Sunday school on weekdays. The commitments of other activities on

:10:22. > :10:32.a Sunday has led to the move. But it has not been welcomed by

:10:32. > :10:39.

:10:39. > :10:42.The children of his Baptist chapel in Lampeter and no different any

:10:42. > :10:45.other difference Sunday-school except this is Friday afternoon.

:10:45. > :10:53.Other activities on a Sunday has seen the Church squeezed out of

:10:53. > :10:57.busy schedules. We rip be on a Sunday as well, it is either finish

:10:57. > :11:02.with Sunday-school or bring it forward to a Friday. Some religious

:11:02. > :11:07.leaders feel that Sunday-school loses its meaning. It it -- if it

:11:08. > :11:12.isn't held on the 7th day. Sunday was made so that we could come

:11:12. > :11:21.together as Christians, to be together, to worship together, to

:11:21. > :11:25.learn and pray together. One day has been put to one side.

:11:25. > :11:30.Church in Wales says it has to find ways to cater for youngsters in the

:11:30. > :11:37.face of competing interests. Been on but if they feel it was an

:11:37. > :11:41.inevitable move. Times have changed. We had to do on a Sunday when I was

:11:41. > :11:47.young. But to a lot of families these days Sunday is no different

:11:47. > :11:51.to any other day. Churches they are urging youth organisations to work

:11:51. > :11:54.with them. Space is made in the diary for religion even if that is

:11:54. > :12:02.on a weekday. We're now joined by the Right

:12:02. > :12:06.Reverend Andrew John, the Bishop of Bangor. We head of some disquiet as

:12:06. > :12:11.Sunday is a special day and is being devalued.

:12:11. > :12:15.There are still many churches that are using Sundays very creatively

:12:15. > :12:20.with all sorts of new services to attract children. We have to

:12:20. > :12:26.compete with children's activities, good sport and good internet. Many

:12:26. > :12:30.churches are responding to that. I would not want to limit children's

:12:30. > :12:34.work to Sundays. If we need to run a messy church on a Sunday school

:12:34. > :12:40.on a different day of the week, that seems to be an extremely good

:12:41. > :12:45.idea. Does the Church needs to continually adapt to modern life?

:12:45. > :12:49.It does need to be able to respond to what is happening in society. I

:12:49. > :12:54.was in mid- Wales recently and saw a lot of children going to a

:12:54. > :12:57.football competition and isn't there. The church and a situation

:12:57. > :13:04.should support -- should support and get involved in that sort of

:13:04. > :13:07.thing. We should not feel we are pushed to the margins. What would

:13:07. > :13:15.you say to traditionalists who believe that Sunday-school should

:13:15. > :13:19.be on a Sunday? I would want to welcome Sunday schools on a Sunday

:13:19. > :13:29.but say if you can't manage the Sunday, go for one of the are the

:13:29. > :13:32.

:13:32. > :13:39.days and make that the focus of all Still to come in the programme.

:13:39. > :13:43.Aaron Ramsey says he has no regrets about wearing the Olympic top. And

:13:43. > :13:53.the master of the macabre. Now a journey of discovery to find out if

:13:53. > :13:54.

:13:54. > :13:57.Vincent Price had roots in Wales. Back to the events marking

:13:57. > :14:00.Armistice Day and a newly restored War Memorial in the Rhymney Valley

:14:00. > :14:02.was unveiled this morning. Volunteers in Aberbargoed,

:14:02. > :14:04.including ex-servicemen and school children, have spent months

:14:04. > :14:13.repairing the 91-year-old memorial, and building a new garden of

:14:13. > :14:21.remembrance. Carwyn Jones has been following its progress.

:14:21. > :14:24.It was a mixture of pride and relief. Volunteers, young and old,

:14:24. > :14:29.had been working around the clock to ensure this memorial was ready

:14:29. > :14:35.for armistice day, and it was. Finally, a place where the village

:14:35. > :14:39.could come together to honour the fallen. But just one month ago, it

:14:39. > :14:42.looked more like a building site than a place of remembrance.

:14:42. > :14:45.Aberbargoed's war memorial dates back to 1920 but in recent years

:14:45. > :14:55.the site had fallen into disrepair and was becoming unsafe for the

:14:55. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :15:01.public. Something had to be done. There had been youngsters hanging

:15:01. > :15:05.around, drinking and whatever. It was very dark. There was no

:15:05. > :15:09.sunlight. With Armistice Day fast approaching, the community set

:15:09. > :15:12.about restoring the gates and the grounds. A building firm supplied

:15:12. > :15:21.its workforce free of charge and local primary school children

:15:21. > :15:26.braved the autumn rain to do the planting. We are planting to

:15:27. > :15:32.remember the people at Fort in the wars and died for a our country.

:15:32. > :15:35.Some people can come and sit down and enjoy the space. No stone was

:15:35. > :15:38.left unturned. The centre piece of the memorial is this plaque,

:15:38. > :15:41.salvaged from the local hospital just before it was demolished

:15:41. > :15:45.earlier this year. With just 48 hours to go, there was plenty of

:15:45. > :15:49.last minute work still to do, walls to be built, iron work to be

:15:49. > :15:52.painted. But the hard work paid off. This is the newly restored war

:15:52. > :15:56.memorial in Aberbargoed and this morning the community gathered here

:15:56. > :15:59.for its Armistice service. It was a time to remember those who gave

:15:59. > :16:07.their lives for freedom and a chance to thank the many volunteers

:16:07. > :16:15.who made today's event possible. It is something for us to be proud

:16:15. > :16:19.of and look forward to the future. There is a sense of pride today

:16:19. > :16:27.that after months of hard work, the gardens are now restored and opened.

:16:27. > :16:32.A fitting way for the committee to mark Armistice Day. -- community.

:16:32. > :16:35.The sport now. Here's Ashleigh. Wales captain Aaron Ramsey says he

:16:35. > :16:39.has no regrets over being photographed in a Team GB Olympic

:16:39. > :16:44.kit. Speaking ahead of the friendly with Norway tomorrow, he's repeated

:16:44. > :16:48.his desire to play at the Games in London next year. The FA of Wales

:16:48. > :16:52.is still opposed to any of its players taking part. Here's Tomos

:16:52. > :16:55.Dafydd. He's a man in the spotlight. Since posing in a Team GB football

:16:55. > :16:57.shirt, Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale have been criticised by fans

:16:57. > :17:07.worried a British Team could undermine Wales' footballing

:17:07. > :17:08.

:17:08. > :17:12.independence. But today, no regrets from Ramsey. Whatever I say about

:17:12. > :17:18.the Olympics, I will get a reaction, whether it is positive or negative.

:17:18. > :17:25.I have said what I have got to say about the Olympics. I do not want a

:17:25. > :17:29.say anything else. I am contracted to the Adidas and I was doing a

:17:29. > :17:39.shoot for them. He was hoping to focus on tomorrow's game against

:17:39. > :17:40.

:17:40. > :17:48.Norway, but the questions kept coming. I would like if we could

:17:48. > :17:51.just leave the Olympics one now. We have a game tomorrow. The Wales

:17:51. > :17:54.management says the controversy hasn't affected their preparation

:17:54. > :17:57.for the friendly with Norway. Gary Speed, who's guided his side to

:17:57. > :18:04.three wins in their last four games, says he's looking to build towards

:18:04. > :18:10.the World Cup qualifiers starting next year. We have progressed. We

:18:10. > :18:14.still have to improve in different areas. I feel that the commitment

:18:14. > :18:18.on the application they have shown, the things that we have thrown at

:18:18. > :18:24.them, they have taken it in their stride. I think there is a belief

:18:24. > :18:27.on they can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So Wales

:18:27. > :18:31.want to put an end to scrutiny surrounding its star players, but

:18:31. > :18:36.it's not likely to go away soon. Some fans are planning to air

:18:36. > :18:40.objections to a British Olympic Team known at the game tomorrow.

:18:40. > :18:43.This has been a bit of a saga but at last, the directors of Wrexham

:18:43. > :18:46.Football Club say they'll ask the FA to ratify the takeover by the

:18:46. > :18:51.club's Supporters Trust after finally agreeing the details of the

:18:51. > :18:54.deal. On the pitch, Wrexham hope to take their excellent league form

:18:54. > :18:57.into the FA Cup tonight. The Blue Square Premier leaders are away at

:18:57. > :19:00.one of their league promotion rivals Cambridge United.

:19:01. > :19:03.There's live commentary on Radio Wales FM in the North from 7:45pm.

:19:03. > :19:08.Tomorrow, Newport County have a tough start to their cup campaign

:19:08. > :19:10.at home to League Two high-fliers Shrewsbury.

:19:11. > :19:14.European club rugby makes a welcome return tonight when the Cardiff

:19:14. > :19:18.Blues get this year's Heineken Cup underway. They've got a tough start

:19:18. > :19:21.too, out in Paris against Racing Metro. But they do have Wales

:19:21. > :19:26.captain Sam Warburton back after serving a three-week suspension for

:19:26. > :19:29.that now infamous tip-tackle at the World Cup. The Ospreys and Scarlets

:19:29. > :19:33.play tomorrow. Biarritz are the visitors to the Liberty Stadium

:19:33. > :19:37.while the Scarlets welcome Castres. Fly-half Rhys Priestland is

:19:37. > :19:40.expected to be fit for their opener. Of course, the Dragons are only in

:19:40. > :19:44.the second tier Amlin Cup this season. They'll have their

:19:44. > :19:47.internationals back for the trip to Italy to face Cavalieri Prato.

:19:47. > :19:50.This weekend will be the first proper return to action for many of

:19:50. > :19:57.Wales' World Cup squad and they're looking forward to getting back on

:19:57. > :20:07.the pitch. We are just trying to settle as soon as possible. Last

:20:07. > :20:07.

:20:07. > :20:16.week was good. We got to do that. We have got plenty of training and

:20:16. > :20:20.a our belt. It is good to be that. -- back. Plenty of drama on day two

:20:20. > :20:23.of the Wales Rally GB. World title contender Mikko Hirvonen is out of

:20:23. > :20:27.the running after a hidden branch damaged the engine of his Ford

:20:27. > :20:30.Fiesta during the 7th stage at Dyfnant. He's now more than 20

:20:30. > :20:33.minutes off the pace. That's cleared the way for Sebastien Loeb

:20:33. > :20:37.to claim his eighth consecutive World title. He's currently leading

:20:37. > :20:42.the rally by just over a second. Boxing, and Welsh flyweight Andrew

:20:42. > :20:45.Selby is taken a big step towards qualifying for the London Olympics.

:20:45. > :20:49.The European Champion from Barry easily beat his English opponent in

:20:49. > :20:58.the first match of a best-of-three box off. If he wins again tomorrow,

:20:58. > :21:00.Selby will book his place in the Great Britain team.

:21:00. > :21:03.Professional rugby league will continue in Wrexham next season

:21:03. > :21:07.after a new club, North Wales Crusaders, were granted permission

:21:07. > :21:10.to play in the third-tier Cooperative Championship 1 division.

:21:10. > :21:13.Supporters launched a campaign to keep a team in North Wales after

:21:13. > :21:18.the Crusaders were wound up after withdrawing from the Super League

:21:18. > :21:21.because of financial problems. The North Wales Crusaders will continue

:21:21. > :21:28.to play at the Racecourse ground after an agreement with Glyndwr

:21:28. > :21:34.University. There are so many dual that have

:21:34. > :21:41.got involved and got behind this campaign. 5,000 people signed up to

:21:41. > :21:44.the campaign to save Crusaders. There is a demand for the game.

:21:44. > :21:47.of course, there will be top-class rugby league in Wrexham on Sunday

:21:47. > :21:50.when Wales face the might of Australia at the Racecourse in

:21:50. > :22:00.their final match of the Four Nations. So much to enjoy this

:22:04. > :22:07.how keen would you be to trace your family history? Well, that's
