:01:12. > :01:15.Good evening. A jury at Newport Crown Court has heard that the man

:01:15. > :01:19.on trial for the rape and murder of a heavily pregnant teenager had

:01:19. > :01:23.traces of her DNA on his clothes. The body of 19-year-old Nikkita

:01:23. > :01:26.Grender was found in her burnt-out flat last February. Carl Whant, her

:01:26. > :01:36.boyfriend's cousin, is accused of rape, murder, child destruction and

:01:36. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:41.arson, all of which he denies. Caroline Evans was in court.

:01:41. > :01:47.This afternoon fire fighters told how they broke down the door at the

:01:47. > :01:51.flat after they were called to the fire. The smoke was so thick at

:01:51. > :01:55.first they could not see anything. Then on the bed where they believe

:01:55. > :01:59.the fire started, they found the body of Nikitta Grender. The 19-

:01:59. > :02:05.year-old was within weeks of expecting her first child, a

:02:05. > :02:10.daughter she had called Kelsey. The man who is accused of her murder

:02:10. > :02:14.and of setting a fire to cover his tracks is Carl Whant, her

:02:14. > :02:18.boyfriend's cousin. The court heard that he claims that months before

:02:18. > :02:25.he had tried to start a relationship with her, he says they

:02:25. > :02:30.had met at a.. On the night she died she he says they had

:02:30. > :02:35.consensual sex at her flat. The prosecution say this is false.

:02:35. > :02:41.While he may have had a fixation with her she detested him. On the

:02:42. > :02:47.night of the murder, Goma's Bob -- boyfriend was with Carl Whant at an

:02:47. > :02:52.all-night party. They had taken cocaine better Carl Whant Kent been

:02:53. > :02:56.missing at the party between 5 and 6 am. He says he drove his car to

:02:56. > :03:00.his grandmothers to get cigarettes but the prosecution say the vehicle

:03:00. > :03:05.was caught on CCTV driving in the opposite direction to the route he

:03:05. > :03:10.said he had taken. When police examined it after his arrest, they

:03:10. > :03:15.found blood under the carpet. The prosecution say that must have got

:03:15. > :03:19.there when he hit the murder weapon, a knife that has not been found.

:03:19. > :03:24.The jury were also told how forensic experts have examined the

:03:24. > :03:33.blue shirt he had been wearing and found Bill's DNA on the collar and

:03:33. > :03:38.on the cuff. 27-year-old Carl Whant denies rape, murder, tiled

:03:38. > :03:42.destruction and arson. The case will continue on Monday. -- trial

:03:42. > :03:46.Counter Terrorism officers arrested a man in Cardiff last night after

:03:46. > :03:49.reports that a group with links to Muslim extremists were meeting in a

:03:49. > :03:56.council-run community Centre. Over now to our reporter Nick Pallit

:03:56. > :03:59.Yes, it was here at Canton Community Centre that the drama

:03:59. > :04:04.unfolded last night. A group meeting here was believed to have

:04:04. > :04:07.links with the banned organisation, Muslims against Crusades. Counter

:04:07. > :04:12.Terrorism Police broke up the meeting and one man was arrested on

:04:12. > :04:15.a public order offence. Canton Community Centre hosts all the

:04:15. > :04:19.usual events you'd expect in hall like this from slimming and fitness

:04:19. > :04:22.clubs to mother and toddler groups. But for the last few weeks it had

:04:22. > :04:24.also been hosting a group you wouldn't expect, a group Counter

:04:24. > :04:28.Terrorism Police believe were associated with a banned

:04:28. > :04:31.organisation of Islamic extremists. Muslims Against Crusades, seen here

:04:31. > :04:36.marching in London, are on a Home Office watch list and being a

:04:36. > :04:40.member is a criminal offence. Those meeting in Canton were believed to

:04:40. > :04:43.be associated with them. The Assisant Chief Constable of South

:04:43. > :04:45.Wales Matt Jukes said last night's action here forms part of a wider

:04:45. > :04:48.strategy to prevent radicalisation within our communities and to stop

:04:48. > :04:57.vulnerable people from being drawn into extremism or becoming prey to

:04:57. > :04:59.He added that while there is a need for a careful balance in protecting

:04:59. > :05:02.freedom of speech, promoting or glorifying terrorism is unlawful,

:05:02. > :05:05.and groups such as Muslims Against Crusades have no place in South

:05:05. > :05:09.Wales. Canton is a multi-cultural part of the Welsh capital with

:05:09. > :05:17.several mosques in the area. One local councillor says it was the

:05:17. > :05:22.community itself that raised their concerns and alerted police.

:05:22. > :05:27.community was horrified because it right by them is a nursery and many

:05:27. > :05:30.other facilities. Basically, they were meeting in the heart of the

:05:30. > :05:32.community. When officers from the Wales Extremism and Counter

:05:32. > :05:35.Terrorism Unit attended the community centre, one man was

:05:35. > :05:38.arrested on a public order offence. The others attending the meeting

:05:38. > :05:40.were handed letters advising them they'd no longer be able to meet in

:05:40. > :05:48.council-run properties. Muslim leaders in the city support that

:05:48. > :05:53.action. We took this decision two years ago

:05:53. > :05:57.that we would not allow this organisation to take any meetings

:05:57. > :05:59.or functions in a mosque. I am glad the local authority has taken

:05:59. > :06:02.action as well. Cardiff Council say they're working

:06:02. > :06:10.closely with community groups and the Police to ensure such groups

:06:10. > :06:16.are unable to reform and meet in any other council premises. He at

:06:16. > :06:22.the Community Centre, the snooker and pool club has just kicked out

:06:22. > :06:27.the kids. We have its 10th birthday party here. It was horrific to the

:06:27. > :06:31.community that it was used by these Islamic extremists. The police's

:06:31. > :06:34.action follows concern by the local community who reported it to the

:06:34. > :06:44.police. There was applause from the local council on his partnership

:06:44. > :06:45.

:06:45. > :06:47.approach will be used again in the A woman from Flintshire who was a

:06:47. > :06:51.passenger on the grounded Italian cruise lines, Costa Concordia, is

:06:51. > :06:55.taking legal advice over what happened to her. Sandra Rogers from

:06:55. > :06:58.Caergwrle near Wrexham, but now lives on the island of Menorca. She

:06:58. > :07:06.was taking a break with her family, but in the chaotic scenes after the

:07:06. > :07:12.shipwreck, Mrs Rogers lost the ashes of her late husband.

:07:12. > :07:15.I got lost from my daughter and my grandchildren. I got completely

:07:15. > :07:25.disorientated and people were screaming, you can imagine the

:07:25. > :07:28.

:07:28. > :07:35.chaos. Nobody told us to keep calm. My husband loved the Grande pre. He

:07:35. > :07:38.wanted to see its so I thought that is where we will put his ashes.

:07:38. > :07:42.A company in Monmouthshire has won a multi-million pound order to

:07:42. > :07:45.build 35 wind turbines. Maney Bridge has taken on 45 people and

:07:55. > :07:59.had to cancel its spring conference in Llandudno because it can't

:07:59. > :08:03.afford to stage it. The party took the step at just a fortnight's

:08:03. > :08:06.notice and may mow face calls for compensation. In Llandudno,

:08:06. > :08:08.hoteliers say they will lose a considerable amount of business and

:08:08. > :08:18.lobby groups including charities who have already made accommodation

:08:35. > :08:39.has been a long and largely happy relationship. Back in 1948, Winston

:08:39. > :08:44.Churchill was leader when the Conservatives came to Llandudno.

:08:44. > :08:49.Thousands came out to see the big man. We will be the ones who will

:08:49. > :08:52.stop the arguments that too often block progress in Wales. Fast-

:08:52. > :08:58.forward more than half-a-century and David Cameron was there. There

:08:58. > :09:03.was Conservatives spring conference a launch pad to his 2010 election

:09:03. > :09:07.campaign. The Welsh party was due back in February this year and the

:09:07. > :09:12.cancellation was given yesterday. Cancellation is not the word the

:09:12. > :09:16.party wants to use. It is a postponement. We have focused on

:09:16. > :09:21.the local government elections are we need a launch in March and a

:09:21. > :09:27.venue and date to be confirmed. That will be a positive for

:09:27. > :09:30.experience. The reality is, the financial constraints and also the

:09:30. > :09:35.security constraints indicated to us was a deficit we could not carry.

:09:35. > :09:39.That may be so but for the decision to be made at the fortnight's

:09:39. > :09:43.notice it has raised a few eyebrows. To say this announcement has come

:09:43. > :09:47.as a surprise would be an understatement. As late as last

:09:47. > :09:53.Friday there was a meeting to discuss media coverage. Yesterday,

:09:53. > :09:58.hotels are still taking calls about room bookings. In resorts like

:09:58. > :10:04.Llandudno conference is a big business. May bring in visitors out

:10:04. > :10:11.of season. A filling rooms in the first week of February is not easy.

:10:11. > :10:17.The Imperial was to be at the main hotel. Here they estimate the lost

:10:17. > :10:22.business to be worth in the region of �20,000. Very disappointed to be

:10:22. > :10:28.let down as such short notice. We were confident we had a full house

:10:28. > :10:33.for the first weekend -- week in February. We now have a in empty

:10:33. > :10:39.how best map itself. At the Imperial Hotel, haven't ruled out

:10:39. > :10:46.seeking compensation. They may not be the only ones. The decision to

:10:46. > :10:49.save the was Conservative some money it may have cost and goodwill.

:10:49. > :10:51.The European Aviation Safety Agency has ordered Airbus to carry out

:10:51. > :10:54.inspections of its A380 planes after cracks were found in the

:10:54. > :10:57.wings of the superjumbo. The aircraft's wings are made at

:10:57. > :11:01.Broughton in Flintshire and the company says that the cracks came

:11:01. > :11:05.from the production process rather than from flying itself. A little

:11:05. > :11:12.earlier I spoke to Rob Hewson, an aviation expert. I began by asking

:11:12. > :11:16.him whether passengers needed to be concerned about these cracks?

:11:16. > :11:22.On the information that we have at the moment, absolutely not. There

:11:22. > :11:25.is no danger to the aircraft, to passengers. This is not a key

:11:25. > :11:28.structural elements of the aircraft. It is a problem for the

:11:28. > :11:32.manufacturer and one they would rather not have. In the grounds

:11:32. > :11:36.scheme of things come in the grounds story of their plane design,

:11:36. > :11:40.this is one of those things that happens and was the problem is

:11:40. > :11:45.understood that is a problem that can be fixed without any fuss or

:11:45. > :11:50.bother. The cracks, are they likely to be a result of the way the wings

:11:50. > :11:54.are made at Broughton? production problems they have to

:11:54. > :12:00.get back to schedule a -- on schedule, there was a steep

:12:00. > :12:04.learning curve with those planes. The way the first 20 were built is

:12:04. > :12:09.not how the subsequent aircraft are built. They might be done

:12:09. > :12:14.differently. I suspect the procedures have changed quite a lot

:12:14. > :12:18.with what was learned on those earlier planes. Is this going to

:12:19. > :12:23.affect the company's reputation? should not. It told depends how the

:12:23. > :12:27.deal with it and depends ultimately how serious this is. It is not

:12:27. > :12:32.serious, it is not an emergency measure but it should be no long-

:13:07. > :13:11.Heathrow. Could James Bond be on his way to

:13:11. > :13:13.the Brecon Beacons? That's the question people in Carmarthenshire

:13:13. > :13:15.are asking tonight after the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority

:13:15. > :13:21.recommended approving a planning application from a production

:13:21. > :13:31.company hoping to film in the area. The filming would take place on

:13:31. > :13:34.

:13:34. > :13:39.Mynydd y Llan near Llangadog. Could this be where James Bond gets

:13:39. > :13:42.the better of his next rival or meets his latest love interest?

:13:42. > :13:47.Speculation Daniel Craig could soon be paying the Brecon Beacons a

:13:47. > :13:51.visit is rife following today's decision by the National Park. It

:13:51. > :13:55.comes just a couple of months after the makers of the new Bond

:13:55. > :13:58.blockbuster, Skyfall, abandoned plans to film in Scotland.

:13:58. > :14:08.According to reports, that announcement was made by production

:14:08. > :14:09.

:14:09. > :14:14.manager, Russell Lodge. There was a locations manager named there are

:14:14. > :14:20.so loch that Brecon. Could you confirm that the film will be

:14:20. > :14:27.filmed here? That hasn't stopped people living locally drawing their

:14:27. > :14:35.own conclusions. Everybody is having a good guess. I turned to

:14:35. > :14:39.the internet and put in a few key words someone was Skyfall.

:14:39. > :14:42.Hopefully, fingers crossed, nobody has confirmed it but that is what

:14:42. > :14:45.we have heard. The production company says it intends to bring

:14:45. > :14:53.200 people to the area and suggests the work could be worth �1.4

:14:53. > :15:00.million pounds to the local economy. Regardless of what the film is we

:15:00. > :15:06.want the National economic benefits for the National Park. That is what

:15:06. > :15:09.we're here for. The film itself is a secondary issue for us. We're in

:15:09. > :15:12.the biz is a determining the planning application. The Welsh

:15:12. > :15:20.Government now has 21 days to give its approval. The film company

:15:20. > :15:24.hopes to begin working on Mynydd y Administrators for Peacocks are

:15:24. > :15:26.continuing to look for a buyer for the clothing retailer. A total of

:15:26. > :15:29.249 staff, almost half the head office workforce in Cardiff, were

:15:29. > :15:39.made redundant yesterday. KPMG say they're using all their contacts in

:15:39. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:44.the retail industry to try to find a buyer.

:15:45. > :15:48.Just days after going into administration, this Peacocks store

:15:48. > :15:51.in Barry was doing a brisk business. Slashed prices attracting customers

:15:51. > :16:01.through the door, but attracting a buyer for the retailer will be

:16:01. > :16:03.

:16:03. > :16:06.trickier. D'Administration means that the administration will sell

:16:06. > :16:13.the business free of the liabilities of the company saw the

:16:13. > :16:23.job will be to try and realise best values for that asset and make the

:16:23. > :16:23.

:16:23. > :16:26.funds available to the creditors. Peacocks began life as a Victorian

:16:26. > :16:28.Penny Bazaar in Cheshire in 1884. The business moved to Wales in the

:16:28. > :16:31.1940's, establishing itself as a traditional womens' clothing

:16:31. > :16:34.retailer. With the move came growth, more stores opened, concentrated in

:16:34. > :16:37.South Wales and southern England. It was kept a family business for

:16:37. > :16:40.generations until the it was floated on the stock exchange in

:16:40. > :16:44.the late 90's. It was never at the cutting edge of fashion. Straight

:16:44. > :16:53.off the catwalk was not a phrase associated with Peacocks. But for a

:16:53. > :16:56.close to a decade, it's focused on fast fashion. It is one of the most

:16:56. > :17:01.competitive in high street fashion. Young people who want fast fashion.

:17:01. > :17:06.They don't want to buy something that will last them fears. They

:17:06. > :17:10.want something that is relatively cheap and disposable. Or they want

:17:10. > :17:13.something with a good brand name. If Peacocks does survive, many

:17:13. > :17:17.predict it will be vastly slimmed down, so many stores like this one

:17:17. > :17:20.in Barry may disappear. Around 70,000 people could descend

:17:20. > :17:26.on Swansea Bay in March, when hundreds of motocross and quad

:17:26. > :17:29.bikes compete in the first Welsh Beach Race. It's hoped it could be

:17:29. > :17:35.a big boost to the local economy, but questions have been raised

:17:35. > :17:39.about the long term environmental impact. More from Jenny Rees.

:17:39. > :17:41.It's not your typical quiet day at the seaside, but with tens of

:17:41. > :17:49.thousands of spectators, the Beach Race in Weston-super-Mare brings in

:17:49. > :17:52.more than �3 million to the local economy every October. And it's

:17:52. > :18:02.hoped the same could happen here in Swansea when the first Welsh Beach

:18:02. > :18:07.Race is held over three days in March. We are planning to be here

:18:07. > :18:13.for 10 years. The ten-year goal will hopefully be 300,000 plus

:18:13. > :18:15.spectators. Probably the biggest event in Europe. Stretching along

:18:15. > :18:19.the seafront, roughly from the university to the town centre,

:18:19. > :18:28.there'll be a number of events taking place every day. One man in

:18:28. > :18:33.particular is keen to see the race come to Wales. It is local, it is

:18:33. > :18:40.30 minutes from my home town. The crowd will push me to get in the

:18:40. > :18:45.top three. Up around 300 motorbikes will descend up on Swansea Bay.

:18:45. > :18:49.Around 300,000 tons of sand will be best used to create ramps and tunes.

:18:49. > :18:52.This whole beach will become an arena but not everybody is happy

:18:52. > :18:55.with the plans. Geologist Paul Llewelyn, has written to Swansea

:18:55. > :19:03.Council, calling for a full environmental impact assessment to

:19:03. > :19:09.be done. One of the dangers is, because of our industrial history,

:19:09. > :19:15.we have a lot of zinc, lead and mercury and if you disturb that

:19:15. > :19:20.sediment, that metal will get back into the water and will be

:19:20. > :19:22.available for a absorption by marine organisms. Swansea Council

:19:22. > :19:25.says it's working with the promoters and the Countryside

:19:25. > :19:27.Council for Wales to make sure the environment is properly protected

:19:27. > :19:31.during and after the races. Important archaeological sites and

:19:31. > :19:36.birdlife habitats will be fenced off and the beach will be put back

:19:36. > :19:40.to normal after the event. Good evening. Let's start with what

:19:40. > :19:43.is a big weekend of European rugby. The Ospreys have a slim chance, but

:19:43. > :19:47.the Blues are the only Welsh team with a realistic chance of making

:19:47. > :19:50.the last eight of the Heineken Cup. They welcome Racing Metro on Sunday.

:19:50. > :19:53.Edinburgh are currently top of the group, but equal on 17 points, so

:19:53. > :20:01.the Blues need to match whatever their Scottish rivals pick up in

:20:01. > :20:05.terms of a win and bonus point to progress to the next stage. We are

:20:05. > :20:10.going for 10 tries and as many bonus points as we can get. The

:20:10. > :20:19.focus has to be on getting a win. European games are tough regardless

:20:19. > :20:21.of the team they will send over. We have got to be focused on what we

:20:21. > :20:25.can get done. Football and Brendan Rodgers'

:20:25. > :20:27.future at Swansea could be sorted by the end of the month. The Swans

:20:37. > :20:42.trip to Sunderland tomorrow. reaction of the players after the

:20:42. > :20:46.game was very poignant. They were not jumping about all the changing

:20:46. > :20:51.room because they had beaten Arsenal. They were happy, of course,

:20:51. > :20:56.but relaxed and ready for the next challenge. It was a great win but

:20:56. > :20:59.they are ready now to continue the fight for more points. In the

:21:44. > :21:48.the promotion that everybody wants. I will keep banging the drum up

:21:48. > :21:58.them. They all wanted as much as the fans do. If we can keep the

:21:59. > :22:02.group together, we have every chance.

:22:02. > :22:04.Some sports stars are used to the limelight, but not rhythmic gymnast,

:22:04. > :22:06.Frankie Jones. Despite being five- times British Champion and a

:22:06. > :22:09.Commonwealth medalist, Frankie still feels like an outsider,

:22:09. > :22:13.competing in a minority sport with very little funding to pursue her

:22:13. > :22:16.dream of competing at the Olympics. But this week, she got a real taste

:22:16. > :22:20.of how the Olympics could change her life, as Ashleigh Crowter

:22:20. > :22:25.reports. In 2012, thank you Jones is on show

:22:25. > :22:28.for all to see. It is the power of the Olympics at work, having a

:22:28. > :22:34.sculpture dedicated in her honour was something that would never have

:22:34. > :22:37.happened had London not one the 2012 games. The piece by a British

:22:37. > :22:43.artist will greet travellers as they arrive at Heathrow's Terminal

:22:43. > :22:48.5. It is a huge honour for an athlete whose sports get some next

:22:48. > :22:52.to no provision the UK. It is amazing to represent the sport. So

:22:52. > :22:57.many people would get to see it and be reminded of the grace and beauty

:22:57. > :23:01.of rhythmic gymnastics. Present it is one part of her sporting life.

:23:01. > :23:11.Relentless graft and struggling against the odds also characterise

:23:11. > :23:15.

:23:15. > :23:18.the road to London. Sometimes, it all feels too much. The training

:23:18. > :23:24.sessions are hard and made harder by a three-hour return journey to

:23:24. > :23:27.work each day. Time that she could use to rest. She gets no funding

:23:27. > :23:33.from British gymnastics and often doesn't know how she pay for her

:23:33. > :23:36.petrol each week. I am struggling all the time. It's really difficult.

:23:36. > :23:45.If it wasn't for the backing I had from Wales, I would not be doing

:23:45. > :23:52.the sport. It is difficult because it takes away some of my focus

:23:52. > :23:56.sometimes. I have to go and do random shows to earn some money. I

:23:56. > :24:02.am managing to stay in it and do everything. So I can't complain.

:24:02. > :24:10.will be worth it if she becomes an Olympian. This week, she had the

:24:10. > :24:19.chance to turn the training into a performance into -- at a special

:24:19. > :24:23.competition. This was a dress rehearsal and she was keen to

:24:23. > :24:29.impress. He there were some brilliant moments and a few

:24:29. > :24:33.mistakes too. Thank you finished last in the competition. Up until

:24:33. > :24:42.the official announcement is made, she is still worried 13 GB may

:24:43. > :24:48.decide not a beggar. Do you think you might feel more confident they

:24:48. > :24:51.will pick you? I've got a lot of work to do. The standards are very

:24:52. > :24:56.high. Rhythmic gymnastics is a major sport in some countries.

:24:56. > :25:02.Their athletes have many advantages over thank you Jones. But still,

:25:02. > :25:05.she has been inspired, not least by the support she has received.

:25:05. > :25:11.fact that the crowd has supported me so much, you want to do it for

:25:11. > :25:14.them. They are excited for you and you don't want to let them down.

:25:14. > :25:17.That is great motivation to perform in front of them again at the

:25:18. > :25:20.Olympics in the summer. And finally, North Wales rugby

:25:20. > :25:23.league is back tonight. The North Wales Crusaders are playing a

:25:23. > :25:26.friendly at Leigh East. Competition for them in the 10-team

:25:26. > :25:35.Championship One league starts in March.

:25:35. > :25:40.The weather now. Here's Sue. How's Chilly and windy, but not too bad

:25:40. > :25:44.for a weekend in mid January. We can see the weather fronts pushing

:25:44. > :25:47.in from the Atlantic, bringing cloud and rain at times. There will

:25:47. > :25:51.be sunny spells too but those narrow isobars show the brisk and

:25:51. > :25:55.cold northwesterly winds. Tonight, we'll see the odd shower. The wind

:25:55. > :26:00.picks up. It's misty, murky and cloudy and that holds up the

:26:00. > :26:05.temperatures. No lower than 7C or 8C. Those are more typical daytime

:26:05. > :26:09.temperatures. So a mild, cloudy and damp start tomorrow. A cold front

:26:09. > :26:12.sinks southwards with patchy drizzle. Then it turns colder

:26:12. > :26:15.behind it, but also brighter from the north through the afternoon

:26:15. > :26:19.with variable amounts of cloud. Feeling fresher in those

:26:19. > :26:23.strengthening northwesterly winds, especially on exposed coasts. Highs

:26:23. > :26:29.of 7C to 9C from Anglesey to Flintshire. A bit milder, 10C to

:26:29. > :26:33.11C where it stays cloudy in the south. For Sunday, it's a cloudy

:26:33. > :26:36.start. Damp and drizzly further north but an improving picture. A

:26:36. > :26:40.better chance of sunny spells for most of us by the afternoon.

:26:40. > :26:44.Brighter but very breezy. Those brisk northwesterly winds making it

:26:44. > :26:49.feel colder than the temperatures suggest. So it's blustery and

:26:49. > :26:56.chilly but not too bad for the weekend. Cold on Monday with a

:26:56. > :26:59.frost. Milder and unsettled again on Tuesday. Today's picture is from

:26:59. > :27:05.Russ Sheaf from Deganwy, taken along the river looking down the

:27:05. > :27:09.Conwy Valley. You should see a few bright spells there this weekend.
