Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: A lucky escape for a five- | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
year-old after a tree fell on this conservative rate. Storms lash the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
country, causing thousands of pounds of damage. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
I just cannot believe that the tree landed two or three yards away. If | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
it had landed near to the house, the house would have gone. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Pathologists tell the inquest of MI6 officer Gareth Williams that | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
poisoning or asphyxiation were the two most likely causes of his death. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
The family of a pensioner with learning difficulties murdered at | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
his home paid tribute to a man with a brilliant brain. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Confidential records sent to the wrong person - a Welsh NHS Trust is | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
the first Elf body to be fined. Wide the local elections this | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Thursday won't be a four-horse race. In sport, Swansea City are safe, | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
now Cardiff City take a huge step towards joining them in the Premier | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :02:00. | ||
League - it is the play-offs for Good evening. A clean-up operation | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
is under way tonight after storms caused disruption across parts of | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Wales. Homes have been flooded and fallen trees brought down power | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
cables in South Wales, causing thousands to lose electricity | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
supplies. There is a warning of more bad weather tonight. Our | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
reporter, Jenny Rees, is in Mountain Ash for us this evening. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Jenny. We are at their home of the Thomas | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
family. If you look behind the, you will see that the tree from | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
neighbouring land has fallen into their garden and completely | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
destroyed the conservatory. You can just about make out the boundary of | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
where the conservatory was. You can even see a the furniture. There are | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
branches and leaves everywhere. In a moment, we will speak to the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
family left with the job of cleaning up this mess, but first I | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
have been having a look at the devastation the weather has caused | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
in other parts of Wales. On Saturday, four trees stood in | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
this part in Cardiff. By Sunday, they had all been blown down. In | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Cardiff alone, more than 100 trees have fallen over the last two days, | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
engulfing cars in their wake. The operation to fell dangerous trees | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
and remove those that have fallen is under way. For many, it meant | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
delays on the roads as routes became impassable. The library was | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
closed in Cowbridge. The branch of a tree is currently embedded in its | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
roof. Newport University's city campus had to close after a whole | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
lot -- after a whole was blown and its roof. Residents in Cae Bracty | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
are having to dry out their homes. At about four o'clock there was a | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
surge of water. Volunteers brought these bags, sandbags. They are | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
plastic. Only for the volunteers, it stopped some of the water. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
was frightening, very frightening. I was shaking, felt sick, I got a | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
headache. I felt marooned in my own house because I could not open the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
door because the water would have rushed in. I was leaning out of a | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
window, talking to a fire man. Power has been restored to | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
thousands of homes in south-east Wales that lost their power supply | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
on Sunday after winds to down power cables. There have been some | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
cancellations on the railways and major delays. The Environment | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
agency has warned that further disruption as possible. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
A as I mentioned, there is more bad weather to come, so all the more | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
reason to make sure that your property is completely watertight. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
I can speak now to Janine Thomas. Talk me through what happened | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
yesterday. I was alerted by my granddaughter, she was crying and | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
screaming that there was a tree in the conservatory. We all ran into | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
the lounge, looked out of the window and could see that the tree | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
had fallen into a conservatory, smashed it to smithereens. My | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
granddaughter was hysterical. Our neighbour came across, took my | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
granddaughter away because she was hysterical. Do you did not hear | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
:05:50. | :05:50. | ||
anything. No. Your neighbour heard that. Yes, I heard a crack, looked | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
over and could not believe that the tree was falling into the property. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Adrenalin kicked in and we had to get over to find out if anyone was | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
in and -- injured. Everybody was in tears and shook up. The little girl | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
was really shook up. My first instinct was to pick her up and | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
taken to the house. My husband and the rest of the neighbours gathered | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
together and check that everybody was OK. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Jenine, it is your has been's birthday today, but instead you | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
have been cleaning up. Who has been involved? We have three contractors | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
here now. They have made the tree safe. We have an early expression | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
here who is making the live wires saved. It is just a matter of | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
waiting until tomorrow for them to come back to clear up the rest of | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the tree. Thank you. Of course, plenty more | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
work to be done here. The inquest into the death of | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Gareth Williams, the MI6 officer found dead in his holdall in the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
bath of his flat, has heard that DNA evidence did not rule out | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
someone else being there when he died. The inquest has also been | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
told that Mr Williams, who came from Anglesey, did not die of | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
natural causes, although three pathologists could not definitively | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
save what was the cause of his death. Earlier, I spoke to our | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
reporter at Westminster Coroner's Court. I asked him about the DNA | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
evidence. The inquest was hearing from a | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
forensic scientist who said that a huge number of samples were taken | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
from Gareth Williams' flat. Very little DNA evidence was found other | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
than that which game from Gareth Williams himself. There was a match | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
made with a sample that was found in his bathroom. That matched with | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
his sister, Kerry. Elsewhere, they found partial profiles of people | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
that they were not able to identify. That prompted a question from the | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Williams family barrister. Was he surprised, she asked, that so | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
little DNA was bound? She said no. If someone washed their hands they | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
would not shed DNA, or if they wore surgical gloves or some other kind | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
of protective clothing. She went on to say that DNA tests were still | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
being carried out on a small green towel that was found in the Perth | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
flat. -- in the flat. There have been three separate postmortem | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
examinations in this case. The three pathologists were essentially | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
looking at the cause of death and said they could not come up with a | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
definitive answer because of the degree of comp -- decomposition | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
that had taken place. They said that the most likely candidates | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
were Ryder poisoning or asphyxiation. One pathologist went | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
further and said that he believed that Gareth Williams was alive when | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
he went into that holdall that his body was found in. He said he | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
believed that because there were no signs of struggling, no bruising on | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
the body. The question he could not answer was whether Gareth Williams | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
had gone in willingly or whether he had been coerced in some way. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
What is likely to happen tomorrow? The coroner says that she hoped the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
evidence will conclude tomorrow and then there will be legal | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
submissions. She says she hopes to be able to deliver her verdict on | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Wednesday morning. A convicted murderer has told a | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
jury he strangled a man with a television flex because it was the | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
only way he knew. David Cook is accused of murdering his 64-year- | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
old neighbour Leonard Hill in Rhymney last year. Mr Cook was | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
jailed in 1988 for strangling a Sunday-school teacher in Reading. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
He admits killing Mr Cook but denies murder. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
A scientist who advised on TB in cattle has it -- has resigned over | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
the Welsh Government's decision to reverse a proposed badger cull. | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Professor Chris Pollock says -- said that he was not confident that | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
day alternative of vaccination would work. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Police are searching for the killer of a pensioner with learning | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
difficulties who died in his home at the weekend. Peter Lewis was | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
attacked in his home. His family said that he was a man with a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
brilliant brain. Police are trying to piece together | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
exactly what happened here. 68- year-old Peter Lewis was found | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
stabbed in the communal hallway of his ground-floor flat in Claude | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Road. Witnesses report seeing at white man wearing a light-coloured | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
hooded top and strainers. Detectives are also keen to trace | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
another man seen in the early hours of Saturday morning. A man has been | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
described by local neighbours as being potentially under the | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
influence of alcohol or drugs. We are particularly anxious to track | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
this man down. We need a community's help. Eleanor Sanders | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
knew Peter Lewis well, attending the same church as end, and said | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
that all who knew him are devastated. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
He is, he had a disability, we were aware of that, but he never let | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
that get in the way. My abiding memory is of a wonderful, friendly, | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
warm person, always with a happy smile, and always just very happy | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
to meet with people. He never had a bad word to say about anybody. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
They owes sentiments are shared by colleagues at Cardiff People First, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
a disability rights group where he was a founding member and trustee. | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
He always had a smile on his face, as you can see. Peter used to say | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
that it was disability, not inability. He was an inspiration to | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
us. We always got on so well. Police say there is no apparent | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
motive for the murder of this likeable but vulnerable man. A | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
major incident room has been set up and more than 50 officers are | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
involved in the hunt for his killer. His family say that, although his | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
life was full of pain and suffering, he always kept a smile on his face. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
They described him as a very special man who will be sorely | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
missed. Much more still to come before | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
seven o'clock. It's the play-offs again - can Cardiff City go all the | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
way and joined Swansea City in the Premier League next season? | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
First, a Welsh Health Board has become the first NHS organisation | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
to be fined following a serious breach of the Data Protection Act. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
The Aneurin Bevan Health Board, which covers much of south-east | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Wales, has been issued with a �70,000 penalty after a sensitive | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
report containing details about a patient's health were sent to a | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
former patient with a similar name. David Smith is deputy commissioner | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
from the information commissioner's office, which impose this fine. Why | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
have you taking this step now? Because it was a very serious | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
breach. Sensitive information about a patient's health was sent as | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
someone who was not entitled to have it. It was not just a one-off | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
breach, human error - it was a lack of training and checking systems in | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
the health board that was behind his, so we wanted to send a very | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
strong message, particularly to help organisations that you must | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
keep sensitive information about individuals, personal data, secured. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
The health board has apologised - what else should they do? Indeed, | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
what else should other organisations learn from this? | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
need to train staff properly to look up the information, not just | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
take it for granted that that will happen. They need to sit Check | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
Patient Record numbers to make sure that they have exactly the right | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
name and address and have some monitoring, some cheques, in place | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
to make sure that procedures and processes have been followed | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
properly. Anyone who is watching tonight with NHS records, how | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
confident should they be that their records are safe? People can be | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
reasonably confident. The danger is that organisations concentrate too | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
much on the technology - passwords and so on - and forget some of the | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
basic principles. This is a basic check that should have been in | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
place that any organisation could manage to get right. That is why we | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
:14:54. | :14:55. | ||
have imposed his penalty. It could have been worse, we could find -- | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
fine up to �500,000. A on Thursday, voting will take | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
place in more than 1,000 wards across Wales. Who do you want to | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
represent you at local level for the next five years? Betsan Powys | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:20. | ||
I have been talking to candidates. They all want to win, of course, on | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
Thursday. They are all aware they will be facing huge challenges set | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
upon them not just by voters but also by the Welsh government with | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
less money to spend than in a long time. I've been taking a look at | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the sort of targets and challenges those that will be celebrating on | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
Thursday will be facing come Friday. It might not feel much like it but | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
compared to the counterparts in England, Welsh council budgets | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
haven't done too badly. Our councils will be responsible for | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
spending around �4.3 billion of the Welsh government's 14.7 billion | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
this year. The next five years will see them under more pressure than | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
ever before. Voters are being warned bluntly by those who | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
represent councils that what they are doing on Friday is this, | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
directing the people they trust to cut in the right places and keep | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
services afloat. It is about ensuring they have a | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
clear mandate to move ahead but it's also the council's explaining | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
to people that the next period is going to be very tough and we want | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
to get people's views about how we move forward because if we don't, | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
we will see problems. Just as those new councillors will | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
be trying to balance the books, the expectation on them from government | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
to provide better services will also be greater than ever before. | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Ministers have made it clear they are looking to councils to deliver | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
and they have set them a series of stretching targets to hit. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Recycling is one. By 2013, councils must hit a recycling target of at | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
least 52%, rising to 70% by 2025. Take another huge area of | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
responsibility, schools. Last week the Education Minister had some | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
difficult messages for local decision-makers. Standards must | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
rise and where people numbers are low, it is over to you. Deal with | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
it. All in all, it add up to a tough few years ahead. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
All local authorities need to step up to the plate so there are some | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
very well performing local authorities who don't need to be | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
told what to do. There are other local authorities who like to be | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
told by the Welsh government what to do. It is a time for all local | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
authorities to raise their game, respond to the new environment and | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
consider how services can be delivered in a new way. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Delivery is a key word in Welsh politics these days. Those who come | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
out on top in a few days' time will be rewarded with instant pressure | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
to up their game. Local elections, historic -- | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Local elections, more than any other election, is historically a | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
forum for independent councillors to do very well. In 2008, they | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
gained the second highest number of seats in Wales. But what do they | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
represent and are some of them representing mainstream political | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
parties under the guise of being independent. Our political | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
:18:29. | :18:43. | ||
correspondent Aled ap Dafydd And early morning canter on the | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
gallops of Peter Berlin, not far from the Pembrokeshire coastline. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Local elections are anything but four horse races. The favourite in | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
many constituency races are often independent candidates. They come | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
from no particular stable and have no obvious political pedigree yet | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
still managed to win the majority of votes. Pembrokeshire council is | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
the only wholly run independent counsel in Wales. It has been like | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
that since its creation in 1995. The outgoing leader says the | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
absence of a traditional party being in charge has reconnected | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
people with politics. It gives you freedom of | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
independence to deal with issues that are front facing to the public. | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Certainly, as foreign of county- wide, dealing with people rather | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
than party politics. 279 independent councillors were | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
returned in 2000 date. They lead nine of Wales 22 local authorities. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
There has been a general long-term trend in Britain and right across | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
the democratic world of declining senses of support and loyalty | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
towards major political parties. That does create some opportunity | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
for people not attached to political parties to attach | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
political -- particular scandals that can create damage. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
There was a famous victory for independence when John Malik became | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Assembly Member following his falling-out with the Labour Party. | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
The political machine is still hard for some people to turn down. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
I personally preferred them to be of a party. I think to be honest | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
there are too many independents in Pembrokeshire County Council. | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
I wrote for the man every time. It is the person at the top can can do | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
the work, not the party. In 2008, many voters electors | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
independent councillors as a protest vote against Labour. Their | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
hopes of being first past the post depend on how they have kept to the | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Independent promise, to put people before politics. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
You have been crossing the country in the countdown to Thursday's | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
election. I'll we inspired and ready to vote? | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
If you live in a ward that is hotly-contested, there will have | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
been a lot of attention but if you don't, you went. Mainstream parties | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
do not have the resources to spread themselves thinly at this selection. | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
Do they want to win? Of course they do. They are also aware that they | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
can't make big promises. There will not be a lot of money to spend and | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
they will be some stretching targets. You heard the Welsh Local | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Government Association saying people need to vote because whoever | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
is rooted in will need that mandate to know they are going to have make | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
some tough decisions and people are behind those positions. They have a | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
few days left, as do the independent candidates, to persuade | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
you they are the right people come Friday and the week after to strike | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
deals and make the right cuts. Thank you, Betsan Powys. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
With all the sports news, here's Claire. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Good evening. Cardiff City will go into the plays off on the back of a | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
10 match unbeaten run. West Ham stand in their way for a place in | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
the final at Wembley. Meanwhile, Swansea City guaranteed their place | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
in the Premier League next season, there were eight goals in a | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
thrilling draw against Wolves. He knows all about big games with his | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
team Manchester United staying down the road, Sir Alex Ferguson headed | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
to the Liberty Stadium to I at what Swansea side he may face on Sunday. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
With two games left for Swansea City, their survival is safe and | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
celebrations look like being topped off with a famous win. After 50 | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
minutes, they were three-0 up. Even when Danny Graham made it four-one, | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
it seemed safe. Some questionable Swansea defence saw an end for all. | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
It makes as guaranteed that next season, we are in the level. It is | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
a fantastic achievement. When you have drawn a game four-four at home, | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
it doesn't feel good. We will think more about the achievement and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
hopefully finish off with two really good performances. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Cardiff City took a huge step towards joining Swansea in the | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
promised land after a nail-biting afternoon. Their destiny is in | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
their own hands, despite going 1-0 down. Peter Whittingham's free-kick | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
smashed home to get the equaliser. It was followed up by a stunning | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
shot from Don Cowley. His goal cemented their 6th place finish. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
We have been in a semi-final situation this year already. I have | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
been through it many a time, as have many of the players. We are | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
looking forward. Delighted and proud of the players today, they | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
have got to that point. West Ham stand in their way of a | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
Wembley final. The first leg is Thursday night at the Cardiff City | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
stadium, followed by the second leg on Bank Holiday Monday. In the Blue | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
Square Premier play-offs, Wrexham play Luton on the same | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
400,000 tickets for Olympic football matches in Cardiff went on | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
sale today until Sunday night. The Millennium Stadium is hosting 11 | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
games this summer, including the first action of the games two days | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
before the official opening ceremony. | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
Snooker and we're guaranteed Welsh interest in the semi-finals of the | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
World Snooker Championships. Matthew Stevens will face Ryan Day | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
in the last eight after beating Barry Hawkins this afternoon, 13-11. | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Two more Welshman could also make the quarter finals this evening. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
Jamie Jones, is leading Andrew Higginson 10-6 while Mark Williams | :24:45. | :24:48. |
