:01:17. > :01:19.documents that were thought to be shredded and led to the collapse of

:01:19. > :01:21.a multimillion-pound police corruption trial have been found,

:01:21. > :01:25.according to police watchdog The Independent Police Complaints

:01:25. > :01:28.Commission. In December last year, eight former officers who had been

:01:28. > :01:31.accused of perverting the course of justice in the Lynette White murder

:01:31. > :01:41.trail walked free from court after the judge said they couldn't get a

:01:41. > :01:44.fair trial. Sian Lloyd can bring us the latest. Sian what's happened.

:01:44. > :01:47.The trial of eight former police officers on charges of perverting

:01:47. > :01:50.the course of justice in the Lynette White murder trial was the

:01:50. > :01:52.biggest case of its kind in British legal history and it collapsed in

:01:52. > :01:54.spectacular fashion last month. Today the Director of Public

:01:54. > :02:04.Prosecutions, Kier Starmer, ordered a review of prosecutions management

:02:04. > :02:09.of the case. The documents found would have been evidence. It was

:02:09. > :02:19.not known at the time what had happened to this evidence and the

:02:19. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:25.judge said they would not get a fair trial.

:02:25. > :02:29.December last year and eight former detectives walk free after a judge

:02:29. > :02:32.ruled they couldn't get a fair trial. Bringing the case against

:02:32. > :02:37.them on allegations of perverting the course of justice had cost some

:02:37. > :02:40.�30 million. The officers had worked on the original

:02:40. > :02:47.investigation into the murder of Lynette White, who's body was found

:02:47. > :02:51.in the flat where she worked as a prostitute 20 years ago. Five

:02:51. > :02:54.innocent men stood trial for her murder. Three were jailed before

:02:54. > :02:58.being cleared on appeal. The detectives were accused of

:02:58. > :03:01.mismanaging that investigation. But during their trial it emerged files

:03:01. > :03:09.had been destroyed, leaving the prosecution to decide to offer no

:03:09. > :03:11.evidence. The Director of Public Prosecution announced today that

:03:11. > :03:17.the independent body Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service

:03:17. > :03:20.Inspectorate will carry out this review. It will centre on how the

:03:20. > :03:23.prosecution team carried out disclosure. Particularly whether it

:03:23. > :03:33.was managed effectively and whether they followed relevant guidance and

:03:33. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:41.policy. Disclosure is any information that undermines the

:03:41. > :03:47.prosecution case or assist the defendant in his opera case. This

:03:47. > :03:51.was a very serious case. A grotesque murder. Without all the

:03:51. > :03:54.information being disclosed, there was every chance these defendants

:03:54. > :03:57.would not get a fair trial. review will consider whether the

:03:57. > :04:00.existing legal guidance is appropriate for such complex cases

:04:00. > :04:10.and if appropriate make recommendations. One of the men who

:04:10. > :04:16.went on trial for the murder was John Actee. He was found not guilty.

:04:16. > :04:24.It is good news for the public, it will restore confidence. This has

:04:24. > :04:34.been going on for 23 years. This is just a token to the public to show

:04:34. > :04:37.

:04:37. > :04:42.we are trying to make it right. But they will never make it right.

:04:46. > :04:56.IPCC about the documents which have now turned up. The significance of

:04:56. > :04:57.

:04:57. > :04:59.that will be digested tonight. Wales' leading race relations

:04:59. > :05:02.organisation has had its funding suspended by the Welsh Government

:05:02. > :05:05.because of accusations of financial corruption. An investigation by BBC

:05:05. > :05:07.Wales' Dragon's Eye programme also raises questions about how much the

:05:07. > :05:16.Government knew about alleged wrongdoings at the All Wales Ethnic

:05:16. > :05:25.Minority Association. It is put to help the skills and abilities of

:05:25. > :05:29.the diverse populations of the country. But there has been little

:05:29. > :05:36.harmony at All Wales Ethnic Minority Association. It has a

:05:36. > :05:40.budget of almost �18.5 million of public money. Following several

:05:40. > :05:47.complaints about the chief executive, it has decided to

:05:47. > :05:57.investigate some financial irregularities. The reporters

:07:02. > :07:12.adequately follow-through on recommendations. They have taken

:07:12. > :07:22.certain measures are but as I understand it, what they do would

:07:22. > :07:23.

:07:23. > :07:27.not be deemed by many to be credible. Further investigations

:07:27. > :07:33.will take place. More than �3 million is being held back by the

:07:33. > :07:38.Welsh Government. We tried to interview the chief executive but

:07:38. > :07:42.he refused. He said it would not be appropriate to comment while the

:07:42. > :07:46.investigation was on going. You can see more on this story in

:07:46. > :07:49.Dragon's Eye tonight at 7pm on BBC Administrators trying to sell the

:07:49. > :07:53.collapsed retail chain Peacocks say they've had huge interest and are

:07:53. > :07:56.now hopeful of finding a buyer for all of the business. Cardiff-based

:07:56. > :08:06.Peacocks went into administration last week putting ten thousand jobs

:08:06. > :08:09.at risk. Our business correspondent Nick Servini is in the newsroom.

:08:09. > :08:13.The critical point about this business is whether it can be sold

:08:13. > :08:17.off as a going concern or whether it will be broken up. There is a

:08:17. > :08:23.strong indication from the administrators that it can be sold

:08:23. > :08:28.as a going concern. This say about 50 companies have expressed an

:08:29. > :08:32.interest in buying the company in its entirety of the substantial

:08:32. > :08:42.part of it. That is good news for those in the headquarters and the

:08:42. > :08:48.distribution centres in South Wales. The geographical spread of the

:08:48. > :08:55.stores on the brand is attractive to investors. I am very positive we

:08:55. > :09:04.would get a bidder for the business as a whole. Whether that hole is

:09:04. > :09:08.wall of the 611 stores, we have to be open to that. An encouraging

:09:09. > :09:12.sign for staff. It is the biggest business in Wales to have collapsed

:09:12. > :09:18.in recent years. A number of reasons have been cited for the

:09:18. > :09:21.failure. But the main ones are to do with the debts that were

:09:21. > :09:25.incurred by a management buyout several years ago. The Whitaker

:09:25. > :09:31.closer look to the deal which brought the company down. In the

:09:31. > :09:39.years leading up to 2006, the company was undergoing big

:09:39. > :09:43.expansion. It was a plc, listed on the stock market. It had bought the

:09:43. > :09:46.Yorkshire fashion chain. But the growth was not enough for the

:09:46. > :09:52.former chief executive. He felt the business was not being taken

:09:52. > :09:59.seriously enough. He wanted to expand quicker. In 2006, he led a

:09:59. > :10:05.management buyout in order to do that he had to borrow �460 million.

:10:05. > :10:13.The last official company accounts we have date from 2010. By then,

:10:13. > :10:18.the overall debt had risen to �586 million. The administrators now say

:10:18. > :10:22.the overall debt stands at seven �50 million. That is about the same

:10:22. > :10:27.as the overall sales of the company. It means every pound they take is

:10:27. > :10:33.ultimately owed to somebody else. The reason the debts have graced so

:10:34. > :10:41.much is because part of its borrowings called payment in kind

:10:41. > :10:45.and notes. They have a very high interest rates. Interest payments

:10:45. > :10:49.are deferred and rolled up for payment later on. They allow

:10:49. > :10:55.companies to expand quickly by putting off repayment. But

:10:55. > :11:04.eventually, those debts have to be faced. At the time of the

:11:04. > :11:12.management buyout, the company owed �150 million. That debt had raised

:11:12. > :11:15.to �300 million. The company then went into administration. It all

:11:15. > :11:23.became too much for the company which went into administration

:11:23. > :11:27.after talks collapsed on the repayment of part of the debt.

:11:27. > :11:32.Andrew Williams is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.

:11:32. > :11:35.He is the chair of the Financial Directors Forum in South Wales. I

:11:35. > :11:42.went through the company accounts with him. His conclusion is that

:11:42. > :11:52.the borrowing made the company an accident waiting to happen. It is

:11:52. > :11:58.about only -- it is a bit like only paying the minimum balance on --

:11:58. > :12:03.minimum interest on your balance. What has happened is that the debt

:12:03. > :12:11.is getting bigger and bigger. sad financial reality is that the

:12:11. > :12:17.recent success of the company was reliant on a mountain of ever

:12:18. > :12:22.increasing debt. How long before we can expect a deal to be completed?

:12:22. > :12:26.We were given an indication today from the administrators that it is

:12:26. > :12:32.likely to take a few weeks before a final buyer is singled out and

:12:32. > :12:38.found. In the meantime, the stores are all open. Anyone who has been

:12:38. > :12:43.to a store which a live about the heavy discounting that is going on.

:12:43. > :12:48.Senior management are still in place for the time being. News we

:12:48. > :12:52.had today was that the chief executive has resigned. He was the

:12:52. > :12:56.man who masterminded the transformation of the company from

:12:56. > :13:03.a traditional retailer into a fashion brand and he announced his

:13:03. > :13:06.Nominations for the leader of Plaid Cymru close tonight. Four

:13:06. > :13:08.candidates are in the running to succeed Ieuan Wyn Jones. Whoever

:13:08. > :13:16.wins faces several challenges after disappointing results at last

:13:16. > :13:21.year's Assembly election. Here's Mark Hannaby.

:13:21. > :13:24.Who will succeed Ieuan Wyn Jones as leader of Plaid Cymru? Former rural

:13:24. > :13:29.affairs minister Elin Jones learning to make cheese at a shock.

:13:29. > :13:33.She has placed a Welsh independence at the centre of her leadership bid.

:13:33. > :13:39.I want to see us break out of our comfort zones, and talk to people

:13:39. > :13:43.of Wales about how their lives can be improved by greater decisions

:13:43. > :13:48.taken about the future of Wales taken in Wales, ultimately leading

:13:48. > :13:51.to us being a successful independent country. Lord Dafydd

:13:51. > :13:54.Elis-Thomas was the presiding officer from the beginning of the

:13:54. > :13:58.Assembly to last year. He says he is a pragmatist would be ready for

:13:58. > :14:02.any opportunity to join Labour in coalition before the next Assembly

:14:02. > :14:05.election. For Plaid Cymru to be able to express that democratic

:14:05. > :14:09.will on behalf of the people of Wales, we would expect to be

:14:09. > :14:14.affected, and that requires not talking about scenarios in 10 or 15

:14:14. > :14:17.years' time but what we are going to do to create sustainable jobs

:14:17. > :14:23.and an effective form of government and public services we can live

:14:23. > :14:27.with and protect. Leanne Wood, a non-Welsh speaker from the ballet

:14:27. > :14:31.school is learning the language, believes she has the potential to

:14:31. > :14:35.extend the party's appeal beyond its traditional heartlands. I think

:14:35. > :14:40.it is essential that we break through in the industrial

:14:40. > :14:45.heartlands in order to become the biggest party in the Assembly. I

:14:45. > :14:49.think I am able to speak to people in order to do that. So Simon

:14:49. > :14:53.Thomas previously served as an MP for Ceredigion. He believes that to

:14:53. > :14:58.win wider support for independence, they must first meet concerns about

:14:58. > :15:03.the environment, jobs and the economy. A move to independence

:15:03. > :15:06.need to be about more rich -- be more self-reliant and moving

:15:06. > :15:10.forward as a nation. We have got to talk about the things people want

:15:10. > :15:15.to hear this talk about rather than things that obsess the party

:15:15. > :15:19.sometimes. Only one we have an opportunity to put his vision into

:15:19. > :15:22.practice. The next leader will be announced on March 15th.

:15:22. > :15:31.Still to come in the programme: Olympic hopeful Luke Rowe on the

:15:31. > :15:35.tough competition for a place in the Olympic Road Race team. It is

:15:35. > :15:38.not so many months until the names get selected so there are a lot of

:15:38. > :15:45.us pushing for a place. And the stars from a Welsh stable

:15:45. > :15:48.in Steven Spielburg's Oscar Today, the UK Government outlined

:15:48. > :15:52.plans for a National Police Air Service, forcing forces to share

:15:52. > :15:57.helicopters. Wales would be served by bases in Rhuddlan in

:15:57. > :16:00.Denbighshire and St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan. It had seemed as

:16:00. > :16:06.if Dyfed-Powys Police's helicopter would be scrapped, but it's now won

:16:06. > :16:14.a reprieve for two years. Jenny Rees is at its base in Pembrey

:16:14. > :16:17.tonight. April 2011, and a car plunged into

:16:17. > :16:19.a reservoir near Llanidloes, killing four members of the same

:16:19. > :16:23.family. It's times like this when the police helicopter is scrambled

:16:23. > :16:26.as emergency services struggle to reach a remote part of mid Wales.

:16:26. > :16:29.The concern is that the helicopter based in Pembrey will be scrapped

:16:29. > :16:32.after 2014 as a national police air service for England and Wales is

:16:32. > :16:35.formed, Leaving Wales with two helicopters - one in the north, one

:16:35. > :16:41.in the south - and a potential fixed-wing plane based in

:16:41. > :16:50.Haverfordwest. Today, the Police Minister in Westminster said he

:16:50. > :16:53.would order forces to work together. I think it is important that we now

:16:53. > :16:58.have the opportunity and the police authority has an opportunity to

:16:58. > :17:03.argue the case and to prove how essential this service is in Dyfed-

:17:03. > :17:08.Powys. I don't think a plane would be able to carry out that kind of

:17:08. > :17:12.work. A plane cannot land anywhere so this service has the opportunity

:17:12. > :17:14.to argue the case and to prove its worth. Dyfed-Powys Police say that

:17:14. > :17:17.today's announcement by the minister was unexpected and they'll

:17:17. > :17:23.be seeking reassurances from the Government that the national scheme

:17:23. > :17:27.won't reduce services to the area. In an age where we have to look at

:17:27. > :17:31.saving every penny in every pound, we have got to make some tough

:17:32. > :17:37.choices. The proposal does mean extra resources could be freed up

:17:37. > :17:41.to save police officers' jobs. For me, that is a real priority and I

:17:41. > :17:44.am pleased we can do that in a way that does not sacrifice the a

:17:45. > :17:47.support service. At a time when budgets are under increasing

:17:47. > :17:50.pressure, experts say we should expect more shake-ups in the future.

:17:50. > :17:53.For now, the service for Mid and West Wales remains. In the meantime,

:17:53. > :17:55.a fixed-wing service will be trialled somewhere in the South

:17:55. > :17:59.Wales area as a potential alternative in the future.

:17:59. > :18:02.This is all part of a wider attempt to save �15 million, with police

:18:02. > :18:04.helicopters and bases being cut by a third around the UK. Those

:18:04. > :18:07.expensive flights would only be made if they were necessary.

:18:07. > :18:09.Wales' new football manager Chris Coleman has confirmed that former

:18:09. > :18:12.team-mate Kit Simons will be joining his backroom staff. Symons

:18:12. > :18:15.played with Coleman for Wales and Fulham, where he's currently a

:18:15. > :18:17.youth team coach. Coleman also confirmed he plans to hold talks

:18:17. > :18:20.with Raymond Verheijen, who was assistant to the previous manager

:18:20. > :18:22.Gary Speed, next week. He could still be retained alongside Symons.

:18:22. > :18:26.The players will respect him and like him. He brings different

:18:26. > :18:31.qualities. For me, as the manager, I need somebody that I know and I

:18:31. > :18:35.have known him a long time. I have got tremendous trust in him. I will

:18:35. > :18:39.be looking to bring him in in some capacity. But that does not mean we

:18:39. > :18:42.are going to lose any body. Winning more and qualifying for

:18:42. > :18:44.tournaments - some of the main aims of a football strategy for Wales

:18:44. > :18:48.announced today. The Football Association of Wales has been

:18:48. > :18:51.outlining what it wants to see happen in the game over the next

:18:52. > :18:55.four years. It also wants to see women's and junior football develop.

:18:55. > :18:59.This is about all aspects of football, football throughout the

:18:59. > :19:04.country. Getting more volunteers involved, getting more referees

:19:04. > :19:08.involved, getting more coaches out there. We have been successful in

:19:08. > :19:13.many areas and we want to continue to be successful. A strategic plan,

:19:13. > :19:16.a vision, is an integral part of making sure that is a reality.

:19:16. > :19:19.Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers says he'll sign a new

:19:19. > :19:22.contract with the club in the next few days. Rodgers says he's agreed

:19:22. > :19:25.the terms of the deal with chairman Huw Jenkins, which will keep him at

:19:25. > :19:26.the Liberty Stadium until the summer of 2015. He's currently

:19:26. > :19:29.employed on a rolling one-year contract.

:19:29. > :19:33.He could have a key role in delivering Team GB's first gold

:19:33. > :19:36.medal at the Olympic Games. Cyclist Luke Rowe from Cardiff is in

:19:36. > :19:40.contention to be picked for the Road Race, over 150 miles, and help

:19:40. > :19:49.deliver success just hours after the opening ceremony. Tomos Dafydd

:19:49. > :19:53.caught up with him. On the streets where he started as

:19:53. > :19:58.a toddler on a tandem, Luke Rowe's focus is now on reaching the

:19:58. > :20:08.Olympic Games. We have had some tough camps in my yorker, getting

:20:08. > :20:13.hard yards in, and it is not so many months away so there are a lot

:20:13. > :20:16.of us pushing for a place. Of out of 15 contenders, only five will be

:20:17. > :20:22.paid to represent Great Britain in the road race over more than 150

:20:22. > :20:26.miles. If selected, Luke Rowe will not be pursuing individual glory

:20:26. > :20:30.but working in a team focused on giving the strongest rider the best

:20:30. > :20:34.chance of winning. We already know that Mark Cavendish will be the

:20:34. > :20:38.main man in the road race. Every other rider that gets a place in

:20:38. > :20:41.the squad will be looking after him and trying to get him to the finish

:20:41. > :20:45.line. It is a lot about aerodynamics so if I can shelter

:20:45. > :20:50.him from the wind and keeping hydrated and fuelled up throughout

:20:50. > :20:54.the race, it is going to help. having been a part of the Olympic

:20:54. > :20:59.development programme, he now trains with the British Cycling's

:20:59. > :21:05.elite at team sky, and his success, he says, is down to good genes.

:21:05. > :21:09.has been in the generations for many years. Both my parents cycled,

:21:09. > :21:14.both sets of my grandparents are cycled. At the age of eight I got

:21:14. > :21:19.into it but I got to Ian to go on my own so my dad bought two tandems.

:21:19. > :21:23.I went on one with my dad and my brother went on with my mum. We

:21:24. > :21:28.went around the lanes of South Wales. From then I just got hooked

:21:29. > :21:32.and it has gone from strength to strength. Rest days at home are

:21:32. > :21:38.rare. His family are happy to have him back before he returns to

:21:38. > :21:45.training in Portugal in a few days. There was a huge gap because he

:22:12. > :22:16.office with six Oscar nominations, but most of its stars prefer a

:22:16. > :22:20.muddy field to a red carpet. War Horse, directed by Steven Spielberg,

:22:20. > :22:25.tells the story of a horse during the First World War. The cast was

:22:25. > :22:28.boosted by animal actors from Llanberis in Gwynedd.

:22:28. > :22:34.If any of these faces look familiar, then it's because they're movie

:22:52. > :22:55.kinds of impressive tricks which he learned as part of this stunt show.

:22:55. > :22:59.He provided 15 horses for Steven Spielberg's epic movie and, though

:22:59. > :23:03.filming was completed 18 months ago, he's only just had a glimpse of his

:23:03. > :23:07.handy-work. He was on set all day and every day and he was a

:23:07. > :23:14.wonderful guy to work with. He knew exactly what he needed. I went to

:23:14. > :23:17.watch it last week and I saw myself quite a few times. I was a British

:23:17. > :23:22.cavalry man and then I saw myself as a German soldier quite a few

:23:22. > :23:27.times I. It was quite funny because a couple of my staff were going,

:23:27. > :23:30.there is you. Dylan's father started working on films in the

:23:30. > :23:34.'70s and now Dylan offers specially trained horses which can cope with

:23:34. > :23:37.battle recreations or even fire. As well as the new series of the BBC

:23:37. > :23:40.Wales drama Merlin, he's also worked on the sequel to Clash of

:23:40. > :23:46.the Titans and a version of Snow White for major Hollywood studios,

:23:46. > :23:50.and both are due to be released this year. His four-legged film

:23:50. > :23:54.stars have had a busy couple of years on the big and small screen

:23:54. > :23:57.and new editions are rising all the time, being trained, and will

:23:57. > :24:00.eventually see more staff from this stable.

:24:00. > :24:08.Time for the weather forecast, and some areas hit by snow this evening,

:24:08. > :24:14.It has turned colder. Some sunshine but also some heavy downpours. Hail,

:24:14. > :24:21.thunder, sleet and snow, especially in the south. Ian James sent this

:24:21. > :24:24.picture, stuck in traffic. Don't go near Dowlais top A465. Snow causing

:24:24. > :24:34.big delays. Rachel Mathias sent this picture of hail covering her

:24:34. > :24:36.

:24:36. > :24:41.car in Hakin. Now, there's more showers to come tonight. Some heavy

:24:41. > :24:45.with hail. Snow in places but mainly on the Cambrian mountains.

:24:45. > :24:49.After midnight, more of the country will become dry. The sky clearing

:24:49. > :24:52.and it will be cold. Temperatures falling close to freezing with a

:24:52. > :24:55.ground frost in places sheltered from the breeze. Tomorrow's chart

:24:55. > :24:59.shows low pressure over Britain and that means unstable air and more

:24:59. > :25:04.showers. So, tomorrow morning, a cold start. A slight frost in

:25:04. > :25:10.places inland. Most of the country will start dry, but there will be a

:25:10. > :25:13.few showers around. Windy on the north and west coast. Now, I can

:25:13. > :25:23.promise a little sunshine tomorrow but, like today, the air will be

:25:23. > :25:27.unstable with showers. Most of the showers in the north and west. Snow

:25:27. > :25:31.mainly on high ground above 300 metres or 1,000 feet. Top

:25:31. > :25:35.temperatures around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius with a chilly breeze. The

:25:35. > :25:40.wind brisk and gusty on the north and west coast. Tomorrow night, it

:25:40. > :25:44.will become dry. Clear skies and cold. Temperatures falling close to

:25:44. > :25:48.freezing or below with a widespread frost. As for the weekend, some

:25:48. > :25:53.uncertainty. It now looks as if Saturday will be the best day. Dry

:25:53. > :26:00.with sunshine and light winds. On Sunday, though, there is a risk of

:26:00. > :26:05.rain. This may turn to snow on high ground. Beyond that, knowing what

:26:05. > :26:08.is going to happen next week is giving forecasters a headache.

:26:08. > :26:16.Britain will be in a battleground between cold air to the east and

:26:16. > :26:21.mild air to the west. It's hard to say which one will win. Our final

:26:21. > :26:27.picture tonight is from Iona Rees. A dusting of snow on Bwlch y Groes

:26:27. > :26:37.near Dinas Mawddwy. Thanks, Iona. There are more showers to come

:26:37. > :26:48.

:26:48. > :26:51.It is coming up to 7pm, the main headlines from the BBC. It's a

:26:51. > :26:57.school in north Somerset has been accused of failing to protect its

:26:57. > :27:01.pupils from a sexually abusive teacher. He was jailed last year

:27:01. > :27:06.after admitting 36 offences. An inquiry found senior staff did not

:27:06. > :27:09.act on repeated warnings from a fellow teachers.

:27:09. > :27:13.Documents from the original Lynett White murder inquiry that were

:27:13. > :27:17.thought to be shredded leading to the collapse of a multi-million-

:27:17. > :27:21.pound police corruption trial have been found still in South Wales

:27:21. > :27:24.Police's possession. Eight former officers who worked on the case
