:02:10. > :02:15.attending the local mosque to pay their respects.
:02:15. > :02:25.A family that where the heart of their community. Cruelly and
:02:25. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:34.suddenly taken away. 56-year-old man, his wife, his elder son, their
:02:34. > :02:40.daughter were killed when the taxi they were travelling in crashed
:02:40. > :02:44.into a wall. The only survivor, a one year-old boy. He was reportedly
:02:44. > :02:51.found in the arms of his grandfather. Friends have called
:02:51. > :02:55.this a miracle. You can imagine if it was your family. It is tragic
:02:55. > :03:00.just losing one person but when a whole family like that, and an
:03:00. > :03:04.expectant mother seven months pregnant, that is really tragic.
:03:04. > :03:09.Beyond belief. The family were on a pilgrimage to the holy city of
:03:09. > :03:14.Mecca. A trip they had made before and a trip made by millions of
:03:14. > :03:20.Noddy and -- Muslims every year. This visit was particularly special
:03:20. > :03:27.because Sira was due to get married this weekend. Devastating. With
:03:27. > :03:31.five members just gone. It is horrible. No words can express.
:03:31. > :03:37.service was held at their local mosque. Their funerals have been
:03:37. > :03:44.taking place at a holy site in Saudi Arabia throughout the day.
:03:44. > :03:49.was very sad and heartbreaking news when the people, especially of this
:03:49. > :03:53.mask, when they heard the news. People could not believe and many
:03:53. > :03:58.of them started crying. 20 members of the extended family had
:03:58. > :04:02.travelled to the country and friends of -- and neighbours have
:04:02. > :04:08.pledged their support when they return with the young boy. The city
:04:08. > :04:13.has immense respect for the Hayat family. There will be real grief in
:04:13. > :04:16.Newport tonight at these terrible tragedies that have happened.
:04:17. > :04:22.prayers go to them and we are waiting for them to come and we
:04:22. > :04:25.will be visiting and supporting them on a long-term basis. I know
:04:25. > :04:33.it will not be easy but we will work together to do our best for
:04:33. > :04:37.them. The family are expected back in Newport in the coming week.
:04:37. > :04:41.Evening prayers are due to take place shortly and no doubt the high
:04:41. > :04:46.at family will be in the course of everyone in there. The Foreign
:04:46. > :04:51.Office says it is providing assistance as is the Saudi Arabian
:04:51. > :04:55.royal family. The extended family are out in Saudi Arabia. They will
:04:55. > :04:58.want to bring back the young boy as soon as possible, but certainly for
:04:58. > :05:02.the people here, they will be mourning the loss of one of their
:05:02. > :05:04.own. Catholics across Wales have been
:05:04. > :05:08.reflecting on the shock announcement that Pope Benedict is
:05:08. > :05:13.to resign on health grounds. The Archbishop of Cardiff has called
:05:14. > :05:17.for people of all faiths to pray for his well-being. There are
:05:17. > :05:24.150,000 Catholics in Wales and many have been surprised and saddened by
:05:24. > :05:28.the news. Praying for the Pope. At this mass
:05:28. > :05:32.at the cathedral of St David in Cardiff, where ships were asked to
:05:32. > :05:35.keep Pope Benedict in their thoughts and prayers. News of his
:05:35. > :05:40.resignation had just come through and this seemed to take everyone by
:05:40. > :05:45.surprise. It is a great shock and he will be a great loss to the
:05:45. > :05:52.Catholic Church. I am from Australia so it was news to me
:05:52. > :05:56.today. Maybe because of ill health, all aged but that is understandable.
:05:56. > :06:04.Shocked because it is a long time since the last time this happened,
:06:04. > :06:10.600 years. There are around 150,000 Catholics in Wales. Although Pope
:06:10. > :06:14.Benedict has not come here, Wales has gone to the Pope. In 2010, he
:06:14. > :06:23.blessed a mosaic of St David at Westminster Cathedral and pray
:06:23. > :06:27.before the statue of Our Lady which had been bought from Cardiff.
:06:27. > :06:31.bless the people of Wales. Today the Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff
:06:31. > :06:36.called for people of all believes in Wales to pray for the Pope and
:06:36. > :06:41.to have faith that the pastoral care will continue. The life of the
:06:41. > :06:46.Church goes on and with the election of a new Pope, he becomes
:06:46. > :06:52.the focal point, he becomes the father figure as it were. But that
:06:52. > :06:56.does not mean to say in the interim that there is no guidance, no
:06:56. > :07:00.leadership because the rhythm and the life for the Church continues
:07:00. > :07:03.throughout the world. This morning's announcement took even
:07:03. > :07:08.the Pope's closest aides by surprise at throughout the day,
:07:08. > :07:14.Welsh Catholics from all walks of life have been taking in the news.
:07:14. > :07:19.A complete surprise to all of us. Saddened also because the reason
:07:19. > :07:24.the Pope wants to resign is because of his health. He is 85. I would
:07:24. > :07:27.suspect there during the last years of the previous Pope, the current
:07:27. > :07:33.one saw him deteriorates so much that he did not want that to happen
:07:33. > :07:40.to him. St Winifred's is one of Wales's haulier sides and a place
:07:40. > :07:44.of pilgrimage. Its custodian says he is saddened by today's news but
:07:44. > :07:53.realises all things must pass. will light a candle for him and
:07:53. > :07:58.wish him the best for the future. We hope the weather takes over will
:07:58. > :08:03.be the same as Pope Benedict. just two weeks' time, the Pope will
:08:03. > :08:07.Stepaside and the church will move as quickly as they can to appoint a
:08:08. > :08:13.successor. Catholics around the world will be watching and waiting.
:08:13. > :08:15.A woman from Carmarthen Show will not face charges over allegations
:08:15. > :08:21.they she failed to disclose information about the location of
:08:21. > :08:25.one of the victims of Moors murderer Ian Brady. Jackie Powell
:08:25. > :08:29.was arrested last year on suspicion of preventing the lawful burial of
:08:29. > :08:32.Keith Bennett. He was one of five children killed by Brady and Myra
:08:32. > :08:37.Hindley. South was police are continuing
:08:38. > :08:42.their search for the missing rugby fan Ben Thompson. He was last seen
:08:42. > :08:46.more than a week ago after the Wales are running game in Cardiff.
:08:46. > :08:51.There was close to the television footage of him in the Leckwith area
:08:51. > :08:54.and teams of officers have been combing the backs of the River Ely.
:08:54. > :08:59.Come to Wales because we have the skills you need and the people who
:08:59. > :09:04.want to work. That is the message from the First Minister Carwyn
:09:04. > :09:09.Jones as he takes 15 what companies on a mission to San Francisco. The
:09:09. > :09:16.US was Wales's largest trading partner last year but as export
:09:16. > :09:20.figures decline there is a call for the Welsh Government to do more.
:09:20. > :09:24.The Chinese new year brings with it new opportunities for Welsh
:09:24. > :09:27.companies. Bitter something which has not lost on the First Minister
:09:27. > :09:31.as he invited the Chinese ambassador for talks on how to
:09:31. > :09:35.boost trade and business links between the countries. But when it
:09:35. > :09:40.comes to making sure that the Welsh businesses are best placed in
:09:40. > :09:45.foreign markets, is Carwyn Jones a good salesman? We have to sell
:09:45. > :09:49.ourselves to the world. David Cameron does it all the time, Alex
:09:49. > :09:55.Salmond all the time. We have to make sure our name is known around
:09:55. > :09:58.the world. We went to India and came back with a hundred million
:09:58. > :10:03.pounds. Of position parties questioned whether that investment
:10:03. > :10:08.was a result of his visit but the First Minister has been racking up
:10:08. > :10:12.the Air Miles. Two weeks ago he was in Turkey. Then it was on to Dublin,
:10:12. > :10:17.this week to San Francisco, followed by trips to New York and
:10:17. > :10:22.Japan in the next few months. Cardiff-based technology company
:10:22. > :10:27.rant media are going with the First Minister to San Francisco. The
:10:27. > :10:33.latest application has been featured international by Apple. 92
:10:33. > :10:40.% of the revenue came from abroad. We are hoping to meet some high-

:10:58. > :11:04.a Welsh exports were worth �1 billion to North America but this
:11:04. > :11:10.has now fallen to 915 million. Most recent figures show the total Welsh
:11:10. > :11:15.exports fell by �200 million. recent table of inward investment
:11:15. > :11:20.in the UK have shown that Wales has fallen from the top of the league

:13:18. > :13:26.time to think in between and talk to other people and do something
:13:26. > :13:33.else in between. I do think that there are potentially not a safe
:13:33. > :13:37.product. Adding up all the stakes in Wales last year gives a total of
:13:37. > :13:42.�1.9 billion, up 5% on the before. A large chunk of that is people
:13:42. > :13:52.gambling away their winnings so the profit for bookmakers and Wales was
:13:52. > :14:00.comparatively lower. There is no empirical evidence that it is a
:14:00. > :14:04.problem. I would therefore say that one has to remember the betting
:14:04. > :14:10.industry is the most heavily regulated sector on the high street.
:14:10. > :14:16.The betting shops in Wales support 2000 jobs and contribute a hundred
:14:17. > :14:23.million pounds to the Welsh economy. Fresh out of the bookies, even some
:14:23. > :14:30.customers have concerns. You have one big win and that's game over.
:14:30. > :14:34.Have you seen people lose a lot of money? Thousands of pounds. People
:14:34. > :14:38.are hitting the machines and it's not good. It is like a drug.
:14:38. > :14:41.bookmaking industry is conducting research to find out whether the
:14:41. > :14:47.machines are causing any issues but say most people use them without
:14:47. > :14:54.any problems. Campaigners argue that with debts of up to �100 every

:15:15. > :15:15.
:15:15. > :15:20.relatives will be unable to help them through it. Cancer patients
:15:20. > :15:23.get help for the physical side of their illness but this report shows
:15:23. > :15:28.that thousands of patients are finding they are not getting the
:15:28. > :15:31.emotional support they also need from some of those closer to home.

:15:51. > :15:55.literally. It is your problem and your illness. You need the backing

:15:58. > :16:04.five cancer patients in Wales feel isolated, either because they live
:16:04. > :16:08.far from family or worry that relatives won't be able to cope.
:16:08. > :16:12.Sometimes they have not got anyone to make sure they have eaten or

:16:34. > :16:38.where family and friends can't help, alternatives are available. It is
:16:38. > :16:43.absolutely imperative that we reach as many people to say to them you
:16:43. > :16:49.don't have to be alone and you don't have to go through this
:16:49. > :16:52.without support and really good support is there. Cancer patients

:18:24. > :18:29.launched to build a Welsh memorial there. This memorial on the

:18:41. > :18:44.tonight and let's talk Rugby. Here's Claire.
:18:44. > :18:47.Good evening. Wales say their win over France has given them new
:18:47. > :18:51.found belief ahead of their next game against Italy in Rome in just
:18:51. > :18:53.under two weeks. In a moment, the thoughts of former Wales and Lions
:18:53. > :18:56.centre Tom Shanklin, who's with us for the duration of the
:18:56. > :19:06.Championship. But first, here's how some of the players reflected on
:19:06. > :19:08.
:19:08. > :19:18.that win in Paris. It is up there with one of the best feelings in a
:19:18. > :19:28.Welsh jersey. To go to Paris and Wayne is a huge challenge -- to go
:19:28. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:36.to Paris and wind. You could see how much it meant to all the boys.
:19:36. > :19:40.It was an amazing feeling. It is up there with one of the best days of
:19:40. > :19:44.my life. Unbelievable celebrations on the field after the game. It was
:19:44. > :19:50.a fantastic win. We had one opportunity in the second half and
:19:50. > :19:53.we took it. That is what won us the game. We didn't take opportunities
:19:53. > :19:56.against Ireland and it was the difference between winning and
:19:56. > :20:05.losing. Tom, how important was that win for
:20:05. > :20:09.Wales? It has lifted morale. These coaches and players were under
:20:09. > :20:15.pressure and had not won a game for eight matches. You saw the reaction
:20:15. > :20:19.of the players and it meant everything to them. It was not the
:20:19. > :20:25.greatest game but I am sick of seeing Wales play well and lose so
:20:25. > :20:32.the win was important. Hopefully, this is the start of something big.
:20:32. > :20:38.It started with the moment of magic from George North. That was the
:20:38. > :20:42.catalyst. You mentioned the reaction of the players and the
:20:42. > :20:46.relief afterwards, many of the players were emotional. It was a
:20:46. > :20:51.great kick by Dan Biggar. George North was the only player who could
:20:51. > :21:00.have finished that offer. There were a lot of emotions after and
:21:00. > :21:05.Jamie Roberts showed his emotion during an interview after the game.
:21:05. > :21:13.It meant so much to him. It has been a tough period for them under
:21:13. > :21:20.there has been a lot of pressure on them. What will a win like that to
:21:20. > :21:23.to the squad? Confidence is everything. They will go to Italy
:21:23. > :21:28.now ins two weeks and feel better about themselves. There will be
:21:28. > :21:32.more self-belief. He beat them and Scotland and then you have England
:21:32. > :21:37.at the end. They could be coming here to win a Grand Slam. The IM
:21:37. > :21:41.glad England won at the weekend because it is in our control now,
:21:41. > :21:46.stopping England winning the Grand Slam and possibly winning the
:21:46. > :21:51.championship. You have to be positive. The let's have a quick
:21:51. > :21:58.chat about Ryan Jones. He was immense. The couple of selection
:21:58. > :22:03.headaches for Robert Howley now. Would you make any changes? Ryan
:22:03. > :22:07.Jones was immense. Gethin Jenkins were immense. There were two senior
:22:07. > :22:12.players who stood out. It is a tough dilemma because Alun Wyn
:22:12. > :22:16.Jones is back and you have a Sam Warburton who will be fit. But I
:22:16. > :22:22.feel you can't wind -- change a winning team. It could be damaging

:23:23. > :23:26.Cardiff City remain on course for the Premier League. They extended
:23:26. > :23:28.their lead at the top of the Championship to eleven points,
:23:28. > :23:31.despite a goalless draw at Huddersfield. In the Conference,
:23:31. > :23:34.Wrexham are keeping up the pressure on leaders Grimsby. They beat
:23:34. > :23:37.Stockport 3-1. Newport are slightly off the pace in fifth after their

:24:18. > :24:21.Temperatures on Anglesey reached 6C today with some sunshine but
:24:21. > :24:26.Tredegar, over 1,000 feet above sea level, stayed around freezing. Now,
:24:26. > :24:29.in the end, Wales had more rain than snow over the weekend. At the
:24:29. > :24:31.moment, there are two flood alerts in force in south Pembrokeshire,
:24:31. > :24:34.Swansea Bay and on the Gower coast. This evening, largely dry.
:24:34. > :24:38.Overnight, thicker cloud may bring a little sleet and snow. Any snow
:24:38. > :24:40.will be light. It will be hit and miss and won't amount to much.
:24:40. > :24:45.Temperatures inland close to freezing or below with the risk of
:24:45. > :24:50.icy patches. Tomorrow morning, a lot of cloud. Cold and grey. Misty
:24:50. > :24:55.in places. A few spots of sleet. The odd snow flurry but not
:24:55. > :25:01.amounting to much. Temperatures around freezing or just above with
:25:01. > :25:05.light winds. During the day, any light sleet and snow flurries will
:25:05. > :25:08.die away, leaving a dry afternoon. Plenty of cloud but it should
:25:08. > :25:12.brighten-up in places. The best chance of sunshine in Gwynedd and
:25:12. > :25:17.Anglesey. Temperatures around 2C to 4C on the Pembrokeshire coast.
:25:17. > :25:21.Around freezing on high ground. Tomorrow night, dry and with more
:25:21. > :25:24.breaks in the cloud more frost is likely. Windier in the west, though,
:25:24. > :25:29.with temperatures on windward coasts above freezing. The chart
:25:29. > :25:34.for Wednesday shows a deep low near Iceland. This is the remains of the
:25:34. > :25:38.Boston Blizzard. It's not heading our way but its fronts are. They
:25:38. > :25:42.will bring a mixture of rain, snow and stronger winds. So Wednesday
:25:42. > :25:48.will start dry but windier with rain on the way. Some snow too for
:25:48. > :25:51.a time. Most of the snow in mid Wales and the north but not lasting.
:25:51. > :25:54.It will turn back to rain. Wednesday night will be wet. 20mm
:25:54. > :25:58.to 40mm of rain with a risk of localised flooding. Thursday will
:25:58. > :26:03.start wet. The rain will clear to sunshine and the odd shower is
:26:03. > :26:12.possible. Milder on Thursday but chilly overnight with ground frost.
:26:12. > :26:16.Friday, largely dry. Some sunshine and lighter winds. Our picture
