:00:03. > :00:05.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines. An independent review

:00:05. > :00:14.will take place into what went wrong at Singleton Hospital, after

:00:14. > :00:21.the deaths of two premature babies with E-coli.

:00:21. > :00:26.I have been assured that the health board and the public health board

:00:26. > :00:36.have implemented measures as soon as cross-infection was suspected,

:00:36. > :00:39.

:00:39. > :00:46.to prevent further cases. Also in the programme, Gareth Jones was

:00:46. > :00:50.killed in a car crash, aged 17. His family is supporting a campaign to

:00:50. > :00:55.reduce the number of young people killed on our roads. I was in the

:00:55. > :01:02.mortuary identifying my son and as I was walking in, I remember saying,

:01:02. > :01:07.please let it not be him. I went in and it was him. Could supervising

:01:07. > :01:10.new drivers in bad weather and that might help save lives? The farmer

:01:10. > :01:12.who claims he's being bullied by the company behind plans for a new

:01:12. > :01:16.nuclear power station over access to his land.

:01:16. > :01:21.A bust-up in the British cycling team. Nicole Cooke is accused of

:01:21. > :01:28.riding for herself and not sticking to tactics. And catch it while you

:01:28. > :01:32.can. What could be the world's fastest can -- car is on display in

:01:32. > :01:36.Wrexham. The deaths of two premature babies

:01:36. > :01:39.in an E-coli outbreak is to be subject to an independent review.

:01:39. > :01:43.Managers at Swansea's Singleton Hospital say they've asked for the

:01:43. > :01:47.investigation to ensure the infection was dealt with properly.

:01:47. > :01:50.In all, five cases have been identified. It's expected that

:01:50. > :01:53.restrictions on new admissions to the maternity unit will be kept in

:01:53. > :01:57.place until the end of the week. More from our Health Correspondent,

:01:57. > :01:59.Hywel Griffith. Babies born prematurely are always

:01:59. > :02:05.vulnerable to infection as their immune system hasn't fully

:02:05. > :02:09.developed. But what led to an E- coli infection at this neo-natal

:02:09. > :02:14.unit and the death of two babies is now the subject of two major

:02:14. > :02:17.investigations. Managers say they've asked for an independent

:02:17. > :02:19.review to make sure they've taken all reasonable measures to identify

:02:19. > :02:22.the cause of the cross infection, that the management of the

:02:22. > :02:28.infections has been effective, and that the ongoing care of mothers

:02:28. > :02:38.and babies are safe and appropriate. It follows calls for stringent

:02:38. > :02:40.

:02:40. > :02:46.checks. You really do need to keep up your infection control, look at

:02:46. > :02:50.wearing gloves, make sure precautions are taken, wash your

:02:50. > :02:53.hands between every single procedure, even with the same

:02:53. > :03:01.patient and that there is no cross- contamination between other

:03:01. > :03:05.healthcare professionals and other staff. The type in -- of E-coli in

:03:05. > :03:13.these cases is very different to the strain that spread across South

:03:13. > :03:17.Wales in 2005. That strain is commonly linked to food poisoning.

:03:17. > :03:23.But this one is much more likely bacteria most of us carry around in

:03:23. > :03:26.our intestine. The key feature is that they have picked up genes that

:03:26. > :03:29.make them resistant to antibiotics. That is what can make them

:03:29. > :03:35.dangerous. And that means anyone without a strong immune system is

:03:35. > :03:40.at risk. Premature babies have a weakened immune system. They are

:03:40. > :03:46.mown -- more prone to a range of infections and diseases. The issue

:03:46. > :03:50.is that this particular type of E- coli is very difficult to treat.

:03:51. > :03:56.The infection is very difficult to treat. Combined with a weakened

:03:56. > :04:00.immune system, they are not able to ward off infections, plus the

:04:00. > :04:10.complexity of it being resistant to antibiotics makes it a serious

:04:10. > :04:11.

:04:11. > :04:15.issue. Tests have led to five cases being identified. The only person

:04:15. > :04:18.to have been named is one of the babies, Hope Erin Evans, who died

:04:18. > :04:22.aged five days old. The outbreak led to urgent questions being asked

:04:22. > :04:27.at the Welsh Assembly this afternoon. I have been the health

:04:28. > :04:33.board and public health Wells implemented measures to prevent

:04:33. > :04:40.further cases. Singleton Hospital University -- a maternity unit

:04:40. > :04:44.remains close to prematurely born babies. We would discuss the

:04:44. > :04:47.outcomes and recommendations in due course. Tonight restrictions remain

:04:47. > :04:50.on accepting prematurely expectant mothers at the hospital. Full term

:04:50. > :04:54.births are going ahead as usual and a helpline for concerned parents is

:04:54. > :04:56.still in place. The Prime Minister has paid tribute

:04:56. > :05:00.to British soldiers killed in Afghanistan, including Lance

:05:00. > :05:03.Corporal Richard Scanlon from Rhymney near Tredegar. The 31-year-

:05:03. > :05:06.old, who served in the First Queen's Dragoon Guards, died last

:05:06. > :05:16.Thursday when his armoured vehicle hit a makeshift bomb in Helmand

:05:16. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:21.province. They were all courageous sold years,

:05:22. > :05:26.held in the highest regard by their comrades. We'll then a debt of

:05:26. > :05:31.gratitude and we send our condolences to the families -- we

:05:31. > :05:33.are with them. With a young person killed every 11 days on our roads,

:05:33. > :05:38.tougher restrictions are needed on new drivers. That's the call

:05:38. > :05:41.tonight from the driving safety charity Brake. It comes as a survey

:05:41. > :05:44.to mark Road Safety Week found nearly 60% of young people fear for

:05:44. > :05:46.their lives when they are in a car with a new driver. Tomos Dafydd

:05:46. > :05:51.reports. Gareth Jones was killed on the A55

:05:51. > :05:54.near Llanfairpwll in 2006. He lost control of his car on this stretch

:05:55. > :06:00.of road and went through the central reservation. Gareth was

:06:00. > :06:10.killed instantly. He was 17. Five years on, his mother's grief

:06:10. > :06:10.

:06:10. > :06:15.is still raw. I had spoken to him something like 10 minutes before.

:06:15. > :06:20.The next thing I knew, I was driving home and I was in the

:06:20. > :06:26.mortuary, identifying my son. As I was walking in, I remember saying,

:06:26. > :06:33.please let it not be him. I went in and it was him. That was one of the

:06:33. > :06:37.worst days of my life. I used to get up for school with him and he

:06:37. > :06:40.used to get up for work at the same time. We used to share in the

:06:40. > :06:47.bathroom and brush our teeth and just small things like that. It

:06:47. > :06:57.affects me every day. Small things build-up added get to meet maybe

:06:57. > :06:59.

:06:59. > :07:01.once a week. -- build up and it get to meet maybe once a week. The

:07:01. > :07:04.family is joining a new campaign aimed at reducing the number of

:07:04. > :07:07.young people killed on our roads. One suggestion from road safety

:07:07. > :07:10.charity Brake is to enforce a minimum length of time learning to

:07:10. > :07:14.drive. It also wants new drivers supervised in bad weather and at

:07:14. > :07:18.night for two years after passing. Something that would have a direct

:07:18. > :07:23.impact on students like these at Coleg Gwent. Today they were the

:07:23. > :07:25.focus for the road safety message. Beer goggles to show the effects

:07:25. > :07:31.alcohol can have on people's co- ordination and simulators set-out

:07:31. > :07:35.the dangers of driving too fast. many people die from card accidents

:07:35. > :07:40.-- car accidents and careless driving. It shows what can happen

:07:40. > :07:44.if you're not careful. I think young people, their brains are

:07:44. > :07:48.still developing and and they do not have the fear factor of

:07:48. > :07:53.slightly more mature people. They do not feel they will be involved

:07:53. > :07:56.in an accident and they carry on taking risks. We were reminded of

:07:56. > :07:58.the dangers of the roads just this morning when a 43-year-old man was

:07:58. > :08:01.killed on the M4 just outside Cardiff. Today, safety campaigners

:08:01. > :08:03.focused their message on younger drivers, reminding them of the

:08:03. > :08:06.responsibility when they get behind the wheel.

:08:06. > :08:08.A former North Wales Police investigator has been given a

:08:08. > :08:12.suspended jail sentence after admitting making and possessing

:08:12. > :08:15.indecent images of children. 45- year-old Ian Williams, a senior

:08:15. > :08:21.crime scene officer from Anglesey, also admitted causing a child to

:08:21. > :08:27.engage in sexual activity. The watchdog which investigated called

:08:27. > :08:30.it a despicable crime. Four people have been arrested as

:08:30. > :08:33.part of a police investigation into a Deeside letting agency. Eazylet,

:08:33. > :08:37.based in Shotton, closed in October allegedly owing thousands of pounds

:08:37. > :08:39.to landlords and tenants. Flintshire's trading standards

:08:39. > :08:45.department says it received a number of inquiries from people

:08:45. > :08:48.concerned about their deposits. A funeral in Pembrokshire was

:08:48. > :08:53.stopped when police asked to check whether the man being buried had

:08:53. > :08:56.been on the run from them for more than 20 years. Andrew Patterson

:08:56. > :08:59.fled abroad and created a different identity for himself as Mark

:08:59. > :09:02.Attwood after being accused of fraud. A tip-off led police to stop

:09:02. > :09:09.the funeral in Begelly to fingerprint the body, that proved

:09:09. > :09:19.it was the man they'd been hunting. He's now been buried in a grave

:09:19. > :09:19.

:09:19. > :09:22.which lists both his names. The company behind plans for a new

:09:22. > :09:26.nuclear power station at Wylfa on Anglesey has been accused of

:09:26. > :09:29.attempting to bully a farmer who's refused to sell it his land.

:09:29. > :09:32.Horizon Nuclear Power says it needs to carry out an ecological survey

:09:32. > :09:36.in the area. The farmer, Richard Jones, doesn't want the company's

:09:36. > :09:46.staff on his land. Now, Horizon is threatening to use special access

:09:46. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:53.powers. Here's Roger Pinney. One farming family against big business.

:09:53. > :09:57.That at least is how this family see it. They have farmed here for

:09:57. > :10:04.generations and do not see why they should stop now. The family is

:10:04. > :10:08.already embroiled in a dispute with Horizon Nuclear Power. They want

:10:08. > :10:18.their land. The company is threatening to use special access

:10:18. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:27.powers. If we give in to this one, then it is only the next step and

:10:27. > :10:32.that is compulsory purchase. I think it is our right as a human

:10:33. > :10:41.being that we should not allow this to happen. At the moment, they seem

:10:41. > :10:51.intent on destroying our heritage. It is not fair. To add insult to

:10:51. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:57.injury, they say, the letter from the electricity company has been

:10:57. > :11:01.written only in English. The family have replied in Welsh. Politicians

:11:01. > :11:07.in Anglesey have been quite open in their support for the power station

:11:07. > :11:11.and they have to make hard choices. Do they support a big multinational

:11:11. > :11:16.company bullying its way around the island? Do they support local

:11:16. > :11:21.people? I do not think this will be the only family and a threat.

:11:21. > :11:24.Horizon Nuclear Power rejects allegations that it is bullying and

:11:24. > :11:28.insist there is a difference between using Access powers to

:11:28. > :11:35.carry out a survey and compulsory purchase powers to take ownership

:11:35. > :11:38.of the land. Something the company Still to come in the programme:

:11:38. > :11:48.Why there's a call to have this portrait of military hero Sir

:11:48. > :11:51.Thomas Picton, removed from a It could turn out to be the fastest

:11:51. > :11:55.thing on four wheels. But for now, the Bloodhound Supersonic Car is

:11:55. > :11:58.parked up at Glyndwr University in Wrexham. The team behind the next

:11:58. > :12:02.land-speed record attempt, which involves engineers in Swansea and

:12:02. > :12:12.Wrexham, is showing off the prototype to young scientists.

:12:12. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :12:18.Matthew Richards is there. I do not want to spoil the view of this

:12:18. > :12:24.fantastic car, but they got some incredible statistics to go along

:12:24. > :12:27.with what would be the finished product. Enough power to power 184

:12:27. > :12:33.Charles Breslin cars. It has taken five years to develop and issue

:12:33. > :12:37.more years until we see the final Test runs. Also, is it -- it is at

:12:37. > :12:45.a cost of around �10 million. Let's get the low-down from the project

:12:45. > :12:53.director. Tell us, what is the ultimate aim? This draw, we want to

:12:53. > :12:58.raise the land screen -- its -- land-speed record. We have got very

:12:58. > :13:03.select problems in this country. Here rat Glyndwr University, it is

:13:03. > :13:06.attracting a lot of attention. Is that what you want to do?

:13:06. > :13:13.Absolutely. Particularly, we want to start right at the primary

:13:13. > :13:18.schools. We have got nearly 4,800 schools on the programme. We are

:13:18. > :13:23.coming up to about 2 million kids. It is getting very big. I know you

:13:23. > :13:27.have got some help you with the rocket powered engine someone at a

:13:27. > :13:31.secret location in Wrexham. And also at Swansea University have had

:13:31. > :13:36.to the aerodynamics. There is a great well much influence. Swansea

:13:36. > :13:43.have done all the Arab dynamics. It has taken the better part of three

:13:43. > :13:47.years to get this done. We have got a safe design which will not dive.

:13:48. > :13:52.An enormous amount of work has been down. When could we see this land

:13:52. > :13:56.speed record? It is getting very serious. We're into the build of

:13:56. > :14:01.the car. We aim to roll it out in December of next year and after

:14:01. > :14:08.that we will do UK trials in Britain. After that, we are off to

:14:08. > :14:13.South Africa, where we have got 300 people clearing the desert.

:14:13. > :14:18.were involved in the successful attempt. Yes. I was the project

:14:18. > :14:23.manager then. You want to push many hundreds of miles. This is the last

:14:24. > :14:29.one. It was very interesting. The idea was formed by the MoD it who

:14:29. > :14:32.said we have got a big problem in terms of recruiting engineers. What

:14:32. > :14:36.we went is an iconic project run through the schools. The difficulty

:14:36. > :14:41.there have been having is that there is not anything interesting

:14:41. > :14:45.going on in Britain and it is difficult to get people inspired on

:14:45. > :14:50.technology. As soon as you introduce this car, that does the

:14:50. > :14:53.business. I will see if I can get a lift home.

:14:53. > :14:57.The deal to secure the land for Cardigan's new hospital has finally

:14:57. > :15:00.been made. After years of delay over the site, contracts have now

:15:00. > :15:04.been exchanged on the land at Bath House, between the owners and Hywel

:15:04. > :15:07.Dda health board. The sale is expected to be completed in the new

:15:07. > :15:09.year. Newly-qualified teachers will be

:15:09. > :15:14.offered the chance to study for a three-year Masters qualification

:15:14. > :15:18.from next September. The scheme is part of a Welsh Government drive to

:15:18. > :15:22.raise teaching standards. It says a detailed evaluation will take place

:15:22. > :15:25.before any decisions are made on making the qualification compulsory.

:15:25. > :15:35.Professor Alma Harris has been advising the government on the

:15:35. > :15:35.

:15:35. > :15:40.scheme. This is really adding value to the current training provision.

:15:40. > :15:45.It is an unique opportunity to upscale the entire profession and

:15:45. > :15:50.ensure that every young teacher has a real opportunity to have the best

:15:50. > :15:54.professional training through an injection and then there early

:15:54. > :15:57.production development. A criminal lawyer has called for a

:15:57. > :16:00.giant portrait of a military hero to be removed from a crown court.

:16:00. > :16:02.The picture of Sir Thomas Picton hangs behind the judge's chair in

:16:02. > :16:06.Carmarthen. But after learning about his cruel colonial past, one

:16:06. > :16:12.solicitor is now trying to have it returned to the museum which owns

:16:12. > :16:18.it. Abigail Neal has the story. There's no escaping the name in

:16:18. > :16:21.these parts. Roads, even schools are named after Sir Thomas Picton.

:16:21. > :16:25.There's also a prominent memorial here in Carmarthen to pay tribute

:16:25. > :16:28.to one of Pembrokeshire's most famous sons. A man who rose to

:16:28. > :16:31.become a general and fought under Wellington at the battle of

:16:31. > :16:41.Waterloo. He was a very well-respected, rough

:16:41. > :16:41.

:16:41. > :16:45.and tough man, big burly man. He had military success and that was

:16:45. > :16:52.what counted, maybe not his personality.

:16:52. > :16:57.But perhaps it should. 200 years on, is Picton a hero or villain? His

:16:57. > :17:00.death in battle is how he's feted, but Sir Thomas had a darker side.

:17:00. > :17:05.It's ironic that his picture hangs in Carmarthen Crown Court because

:17:05. > :17:14.Picton had his own brush with the law. Famously cruel, while Governor

:17:14. > :17:18.of Trinidad, he was convicted of torturing a 14-year-old girl.

:17:18. > :17:23.can make the point that Hitler is an important figure of history, but

:17:23. > :17:27.one would not want his picture in the court of law. The lawyer is

:17:27. > :17:31.calling for his picture to be removed. I have had a positive

:17:31. > :17:36.response from people, who, once they realise what he has done,

:17:36. > :17:42.aside from his military history, they did not think it was

:17:42. > :17:49.appropriate. Carmarthenshire museum does not want him back. I think we

:17:49. > :17:53.have to accept that he was a man, warts-and-all, and not judge him by

:17:53. > :17:55.a today's standards. Even in his own time, Picton was a

:17:55. > :17:58.controversial figure. Two centuries on, he's still dividing opinion.

:17:58. > :18:02.Wales football manager Gary Speed can start planning his bid to reach

:18:02. > :18:04.the 2014 World Cup in Brazil tonight. Wales now have their

:18:04. > :18:08.fixture list for the qualification campaign after the countries

:18:08. > :18:12.hammered out an agreement in Brussels this afternoon. Wales's

:18:12. > :18:21.first match is at home to Belgium next September. More now from our

:18:21. > :18:24.sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. Gary Speed arrived at the Belgian

:18:24. > :18:30.FA headquarters this afternoon for the first skirmish of the World Cup

:18:30. > :18:34.qualifiers. Trying to negotiate a fixture list which would best help

:18:34. > :18:39.as reach Brazil. Also in the room, John Toshack, now the boss of

:18:39. > :18:44.Macedonia, also looking to get the best deal for his team. Worse will

:18:44. > :18:48.begin their campaign at home to Belgium. Scotland are also in Group

:18:48. > :18:52.Bay and the two sides will meet in Wales in October before speed and

:18:52. > :18:57.his men travel north for their first competitive match. They will

:18:57. > :19:00.have to wait until September to cross swords with John Toshack,

:19:00. > :19:05.when the side travel to Macedonia. The return fixture is the following

:19:05. > :19:09.month. Wales qualification hopes may come down to the final game,

:19:09. > :19:15.that is a way in Belgium, where the managers that today. I think we

:19:15. > :19:19.were looking for a big team at home to start. That was good. That

:19:19. > :19:24.wasn't nailed down early. You will not see John Toshack for quite a

:19:24. > :19:31.while. I have seen enough of him today. He spoke well and did well.

:19:31. > :19:35.He has been to a few before. His experience showed. Wales have won

:19:36. > :19:40.at four of the last five matches. Gary Speed has been clear he wants

:19:40. > :19:44.to be judged on what happens in the next World Cup campaign. It looks

:19:44. > :19:47.like an even group and Wales will hope they can keep on improving.

:19:47. > :19:51.And there's more on that story in Sport Wales at 9:00pm on Friday

:19:51. > :19:54.night over on BBC Two Wales. Now, with less than a year to go to

:19:54. > :19:57.the London Games, a row between the reigning Olympic Road Race Champion,

:19:57. > :20:00.Swansea's Nicole Cooke, and one of her colleagues, is threatening to

:20:00. > :20:03.undermine the British team's challenge for gold. Cooke has been

:20:03. > :20:05.accused of riding for herself, rather than the team, after a bust-

:20:11. > :20:16.Copenhagen. She rode ahead of Armistead to finish fourth, despite

:20:16. > :20:19.Armistead being the pre-agreed team leader. Well, William Fotheringham

:20:19. > :20:26.is the cycling columnist for The Guardian newspaper, and joins me

:20:26. > :20:31.now from Worcester. Are you surprised at that Nicole Cooke has

:20:31. > :20:35.fallen out with her team-mates? really. You are looking at a

:20:35. > :20:40.situation where you have got two riders who have one goal. They are

:20:40. > :20:44.both going through -- for the same thing. Frictions will arise. There

:20:44. > :20:48.will be, not necessarily conflict, but certainly, a situation where

:20:48. > :20:53.they are both looking to do the same thing. It is also a situation

:20:54. > :20:56.where Nicole Cooke has not been in her greatest form since taking the

:20:56. > :21:01.world championships and Lizzie Armistead is very much the up-and-

:21:01. > :21:05.coming star. There is going to be an issue of war leads the team.

:21:05. > :21:10.Talk us through that team dynamic in professional cycling. Is there

:21:10. > :21:14.anything wrong with Nicole Cooke going for personal glory? If the

:21:14. > :21:17.agreement is that the team are going to write in a certain way for

:21:17. > :21:27.a certain right on a certain day, that agreement has to be stuck to.

:21:27. > :21:30.What happened in Copenhagen was that Nicole Cooke, the agree merger

:21:30. > :21:33.was the that Lizzie Armistead would be the leader in the final sprint

:21:33. > :21:38.and the group would go from there, having had a chance earlier in the

:21:38. > :21:46.race. It is not entirely clear what actually happened at the end of the

:21:47. > :21:51.race. Nicole Cooke came in in front of Lizzie Armistead. She was held

:21:51. > :21:57.up by a crash. The agreement was that they would ride together.

:21:57. > :22:03.can see that you are having some trouble with your microphone there.

:22:03. > :22:08.We can hear you and we can see it clearly. How is this a row going to

:22:08. > :22:12.affect Nicole Cooke's chances of defending her Olympic title? What

:22:12. > :22:16.it means is that there will be that background there. The problem is

:22:16. > :22:21.that with it being public, the question will be raised of how they

:22:21. > :22:31.deal with this. It looks as if they're going to do with it behind

:22:31. > :22:33.closed doors. But obviously, it remains to be seen. Thank you very

:22:39. > :22:42.International career on a high. He'll play his last game against

:22:42. > :22:45.Australia at the Millennium Stadium a week on Saturday. The 34 year old

:22:45. > :22:52.says it'll be an emotional match, but acknowledged that it's the

:22:52. > :22:56.right time to go. If I had a chance to keep on playing rugby and to

:22:56. > :23:00.live as 50, I would do it, but I would not be very good. It is my

:23:01. > :23:05.decision. I am quite excited about the day. It would be a great day.

:23:05. > :23:11.By we have a lot of friends and family there. It will be a great

:23:11. > :23:14.day to go at on. It would be even better when we beat Australia.

:23:14. > :23:17.And it's been confirmed this evening that the BBC has agreed an
