Good evening live from Swansea, where there has been a parade for

:00:58.:01:04.

champions. Thousands of fans have lined the streets to celebrate the

:01:04.:01:12.

football club's League Cup triumph. Where on the bus with the players

He had taken ecstasy and cocaine and was four times over the drink

drive limit when he died. Today an inquest decided former Glamorgan

:01:39.:01:42.

cricketer Tom Maynard's death was accidental. He was struck by a tube

:01:42.:01:44.

train while running away from police last year. The coroner

:01:44.:01:47.

called for analysis of hair samples to be considered for future drugs

testing by cricket clubs. Tomos He was secretly taking drugs. Tom

Maynard's friend, England cricketers and his former team-mate

:02:04.:02:08.

and housemaid Rory Hamilton Brown were among the last people to see

:02:08.:02:13.

him alive. Neither knew their friend was a habitual drug-takers.

:02:13.:02:18.

Today's inquest sheds new light on Tom Maynard's lifestyle. Samples

:02:18.:02:24.

taken of his hair suggested he used cocaine and Ecstasy regularly. A

:02:24.:02:29.

toxicology expert told the inquest it is likely he used cocaine daily

:02:29.:02:35.

in the month before his death. We will be introducing new,

:02:35.:02:38.

improved tests, and I am confident we will get an agreement that we

:02:38.:02:44.

will extend those tests to recreational drugs outside of

:02:44.:02:47.

competition and almost certainly here sampling, which gives a much

:02:47.:02:52.

better picture of somebody's behaviour than a urine test, which

Maynard's girlfriend. He had been drinking heavily with his team-

:03:10.:03:16.

mates for several hours. Driving erratically at speed, his car was

:03:16.:03:20.

stopped by an unmarked police car near Wimbledon Park station.

:03:20.:03:23.

Agitated and nervous, he fled, leaving his keys in the ignition of

:03:23.:03:28.

his black Mercedes. Within minutes, he had been electrocuted after

:03:28.:03:32.

stepping on a live track and had been hit by a train. The inquest

:03:32.:03:37.

was told he died from multiple injuries. Tom Maynard was

:03:37.:03:41.

considered a rising star in cricket, spending his early years at

:03:41.:03:48.

Glamorgan, the club where his father Matthew crafted his playing

career. He is Father Matthew was a fine player in his own right, and

:03:53.:03:58.

Tom took after him in that sense, not only in being a match winner,

:03:58.:04:03.

but he was also a terrific fielder. We must not forget that part of the

:04:03.:04:07.

game. That is how he will be remembered, I think, as a potential

:04:07.:04:13.

England all-rounder. Today, Tom Maynard was described as

:04:13.:04:16.

a natural leader, a talented cricketer who had it all, but his

:04:31.:04:34.

North Wales police station in the boot of his car has been found

:04:34.:04:37.

guilty of her murder. John Yates, from Warrington, beat his estranged

wife, Barbara, to death last July before driving her body to the

heroes with an open top bus tour through the streets. Claire Summers

is there. Good evening.

:05:01.:05:05.

Were welcome to Swansea, it is a little quiet here now. But a short

:05:05.:05:09.

time ago there were incredible scenes as Swansea City fans came

:05:09.:05:12.

out to tube home the players and the manager after the incredible

:05:12.:05:17.

final at Wembley on Sunday. Look at these pictures. This was a little

:05:17.:05:22.

while ago at the Brangwyn Hall. 33,000 fans were at Wembley on

:05:22.:05:26.

Sunday to what is the victory, many more here today. Michael Laudrup

:05:26.:05:30.

and the players came out onto the stage to thank their fans for the

:05:30.:05:36.

tremendous support. If they had an incredibly warm reception on this

:05:36.:05:40.

cold Tuesday. Things got under way a little earlier. The players took

:05:40.:05:48.

part in an open-top bus parade, a victory parade, and considering how

:05:48.:05:57.

Swansea transport could be the bus was only 15 minutes late. On board

:05:57.:06:01.

was our correspondent who caught up with the manager.

:06:01.:06:05.

Winning a first major trophy in 100 years is a fantastic reason to

:06:05.:06:09.

celebrate, and that is what everyone is doing this evening.

:06:09.:06:14.

They are 10 deep either side of the bus as it makes its way down the

:06:14.:06:17.

King's Way. A fantastic party to celebrate the Capital One Cup

:06:17.:06:20.

victory. I am delighted that I am joined by the man who orchestrated

:06:20.:06:25.

it all, at Swansea manager of Michael Laudrup. Congratulations,

:06:25.:06:30.

how do you feel? We're very proud to see so many happy people around

:06:30.:06:36.

the streets here, it is fantastic. As you said, the first major trophy

:06:36.:06:40.

ever in the history of this club, a huge achievement. Given all that

:06:40.:06:44.

you have done in your playing and managerial career, people were it

:06:44.:06:48.

surprised it was your greatest achievement. Well, it is always

:06:48.:06:52.

nice to win trophies, but when you are playing in big clubs it is

:06:52.:06:56.

demanded, you have to win trophies every year. It is not every year at

:06:56.:07:01.

you win but it is what people ask for. In a smaller club you were not

:07:01.:07:05.

playing for trophies, sometimes you're playing to survive or mid-

:07:05.:07:11.

table or whatever. When you get it like this, it is fantastic. Then I

:07:11.:07:15.

think it is even bigger when you are a manager than when you are a

:07:15.:07:19.

player. Given that the celebration comes in the middle of the season,

:07:19.:07:23.

is it hard for you to keep the players on the level? They have

:07:23.:07:28.

flocked to do still. Yes, they have, but you have to enjoy it when you

:07:28.:07:33.

achieve something. -- they have work to do.

:07:33.:07:38.

It could be a good game on Saturday against Newcastle, it is a

:07:38.:07:40.

possibility. They've really love you here now,

:07:40.:07:45.

you will always be remembered in Swansea City and they would love

:07:45.:07:48.

you to stay. You probably cannot make any promises in the long term,

:07:48.:07:53.

but how did you feel about the future?

:07:53.:07:57.

Well, if the time a club and a team has success there is always rumours

:07:57.:08:01.

about the manager, or the players, or both, going to bigger clubs.

:08:01.:08:06.

There are a lot of rumours write melodies about players, but lists

:08:06.:08:10.

just enjoy it and after all back and play the last 11 games in the

:08:11.:08:15.

Premier League. He many congratulations on your achievement

:08:15.:08:17.

and thank you for joining us on Wales Today.

:08:17.:08:21.

Perhaps some hope for fans that hope Michael Laudrup will stay

:08:21.:08:25.

around for a little bit, but they will not be thinking too far ahead.

:08:25.:08:29.

As he said, tonight is a night for celebration and that is what

:08:29.:08:32.

everyone on the bus and on the streets is doing.

:08:32.:08:36.

Great scenes on the incapacity. Swansea City fans have been smiling

:08:36.:08:41.

so much some of them have told me their jaws are aching today. The

:08:41.:08:46.

club has very young fans and old fans. I caught up with their

:08:46.:08:51.

youngest fan, Tyler, who was the club's mascot at Wembley on Sunday,

:08:51.:08:56.

at one of the oldest fans, and here is what he told me this afternoon.

:08:56.:09:01.

I had the best time ever, you know. The have been good times and bad

:09:01.:09:05.

times, as well. What was it like watching them on Sunday?

:09:05.:09:12.

I cannot express it. Exhibition stuff. They were mesmerising. Here

:09:12.:09:17.

you are very proud fan, ardent you? And most definitely. The problem is,

:09:17.:09:22.

can you keep hold of Michael -- Michael Laudrup now go mad I hope

:09:22.:09:28.

so. A pleasure to see you, enjoy it today. From one of the oldest to

:09:28.:09:33.

the youngest fan. Tyler was the mass court at Wembley on Sunday.

:09:33.:09:38.

What was that like? Well, I was shocked, because at first I was

:09:38.:09:44.

really nervous. But when I was out there it was a really lovely. All

:09:44.:09:50.

the players were lovely, it was just a brilliant feeling. What did

:09:50.:09:55.

you say to the players before you left the tunnel? Yes, one of the

:09:55.:09:59.

players asked me, what to do you think the score will be? As said 4-

:09:59.:10:08.

2. You were not far out, where you? He said, sounds good to me!

:10:08.:10:12.

And we will be back with clear stammerers in Swansea a little

:10:12.:10:22.
:10:22.:10:24.

Merthyr Council's responsibility for education is to be removed by

:10:24.:10:26.

the Education Minister, Leighton Andrews, following a highly

:10:26.:10:28.

critical report by the schools watchdog, Estyn. He said the

:10:28.:10:31.

authority had failed to respond to Estyn recommendations going back

:10:31.:10:34.

eight years. Our education correspondent, Arwyn Jones, is at

:10:34.:10:40.

the Senedd. How unusual is this move by the Welsh Government?

:10:40.:10:44.

It is an unusual situation, but it is not unique. We have seen a

:10:44.:10:48.

similar situation in Gwent, where they have had Education

:10:48.:10:52.

Commissioners go in to sort out problems and they are still there.

:10:52.:10:57.

Other chemicals, such as my amateur, who were criticised by Estyn last

week, a penal notice of out their own problems under an external body.

:11:01.:11:07.

-- Monmouth shire. Essentially they are sane, if we do not think we can

:11:07.:11:12.

will cancer out their own problems, we will get in an outside body.

:11:12.:11:17.

Do we know what will happen on the ground in schools in Merthyr next?

:11:17.:11:22.

It is not absolutely clear at the moment. What the education minister

:11:22.:11:27.

wants to see is essentially a takeover of education in Merthyr by

:11:27.:11:32.

the neighbouring council, or what they call a merger. However, there

:11:32.:11:37.

are discussions and other options on the table. Merthyr council have

:11:37.:11:40.

responded saying they think there are green shoots demerging in terms

:11:40.:11:46.

of education. They know they are -- they know what needs to be done to

:11:46.:11:49.

improve the situation but will co- operate with the Welsh Government.

:11:49.:11:53.

But for parents, teachers and pupils, the only change they should

:11:53.:11:57.

see is a marked improvement in education standards.

Plans to change the NHS in Mid and West Wales are not in the best

:12:28.:12:31.

interests of patients - that is the verdict of the area's patient

:12:31.:12:35.

watchdog. Hywel Dda Community Health Council has written to the

:12:35.:12:40.

Health Minister with their concerns. The minister in Cardiff Bay will

:12:40.:12:44.

now decide on the propoals. Cemlyn Davies reports.

:12:44.:12:47.

Reorganising the health service in West Wales has been a long and

:12:47.:12:52.

winding road, and the journey is far from over. Last month, Hywel

:12:52.:12:56.

Dda Health Board announced plans of how it wants to change the way it

:12:56.:13:01.

provides NHS services to patients living in Carmarthenshire,

:13:01.:13:04.

Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. The plans include controversial changes

:13:04.:13:10.

to the Accident and Emergency department at Prince Philip

:13:10.:13:13.

Hospital. Now, there will -- watchdog has asked the Government

:13:13.:13:17.

to look at the proposals. It means they Health Minister will

:13:17.:13:20.

have the final say on what happens to hospitals like this one, and

:13:20.:13:25.

that has given hope to campaigners. While hoping she will change, that

:13:25.:13:31.

we can keep the area. We're very worried, it is a rural area, we

:13:31.:13:38.

need both hospitals. I hope that if anything does happen, we need to

:13:38.:13:42.

keep his open. As well as Prince Philip Hospital, the community

:13:42.:13:48.

council is concerned over plans to close the specialist baby-care unit.

:13:49.:13:54.

Another hospital and a major at -- many rate at -- minor injury units

:13:54.:14:00.

also. They say the board has not

considered the geography of the area. K gritters important for the

:14:05.:14:09.

:14:09.:14:17.

In a statement, the health board said it was disappointed by the

:14:17.:14:21.

Community Health Council's decision and fell back after a series of

:14:21.:14:24.

meetings they had not got to the end of that process. -- and felt

:14:24.:14:29.

that. It previous weeks, health reforms were high on the agenda for

:14:29.:14:35.

First Minister's questions today, and there were questions about how

:14:35.:14:39.

crucial decisions will be made. Be in your mind that what we all

:14:39.:14:43.

want to see is a safe and sustainable health service. -- bear

:14:43.:14:48.

in mind. A scrutiny panel set up will --

:14:48.:14:52.

will be set up from outside of Wales. It will examine all

:14:52.:14:57.

available documents and consult with the local health board. They

:14:57.:15:00.

will then advise the Health Minister will make a final decision,

:15:00.:15:04.

but that could lead to further consultation. The further delay, I

:15:04.:15:10.

think will be a difficult -- difficult issue. The problems have

:15:10.:15:14.

been going on for years and have to be resolved, the current situation

:15:14.:15:18.

is untenable. It is unfortunate that the health board and the sea h

:15:19.:15:24.

e have not found common ground and the minister has to exercise their

:15:24.:15:28.

Let's talk to our health Let's talk to our health

:15:28.:15:36.

What did the community health councils say on their main

:15:36.:15:38.

concerns? What happened to be is not simply a

:15:39.:15:42.

case of people meeting around a table saying we do not like the

:15:42.:15:46.

look of those planned we will refer them to the health minister. The

:15:46.:15:50.

Community Health Council had to provide very detailed reasons for

:15:50.:15:55.

each decision. It has done so in this document, 27 pages long. This

:15:55.:15:59.

document talks about a lack of business case and financial plans.

:15:59.:16:05.

It says the views of GPs were not taken into account. The main

:16:05.:16:10.

accusation here, essentially, is that the health board was flawed in

:16:11.:16:15.

its consultation process, that it did not listen and did not take

:16:15.:16:19.

account of the views of the local community. On the other hand, you

:16:19.:16:24.

have the health board saying that is not the case, we did listen, we

:16:24.:16:29.

even amended some proposals. The task facing the health minister now

:16:29.:16:32.

it is -- decide which views she agrees with.

:16:32.:16:35.

The decision of a day's rest with their health minister, but there

:16:35.:16:41.

could still be another consultation, so this could go on?

:16:41.:16:45.

The s, she could tell the health board could go back to the drawing

:16:45.:16:48.

board and cons of again. There has also pressured tonight on the

:16:48.:16:53.

health minister in light of this decision to look again at proposals

:16:53.:16:58.

in North Wales, for example, Ford neonatal intensive care, even

:16:58.:17:01.

though the Community Health Council there has decided not to refer them

:17:01.:17:09.

formally to the minister. What I am hearing tonight is that those

proposals are not inconceivable, so An undercover investigation by BBC

He thank you very much, the last word tonight goes to clear in

:23:47.:23:49.

word tonight goes to clear in Swansea in the middle of that party

:23:49.:23:55.

that started with an open-top bus caught -- open-top bus tours.

:23:55.:23:59.

Thank you very much, we had just come inside the Brangwyn Hall,

:23:59.:24:03.

where the civic reception was earlier. Some dignitaries still

:24:03.:24:11.

arriving here, just finishing of the cucumber sandwiches. The

:24:11.:24:14.

players have literally just left because they actually have training

:24:14.:24:20.

tomorrow morning to for that game against Newcastle at the Liberty

:24:20.:24:24.

Stadium on Saturday. Just before he jumped on the bus, I managed to

:24:24.:24:30.

catch up with the captain. It was brilliant. As players we all

:24:30.:24:34.

enjoyed it on the bus, looking at everyone's faces they enjoyed it,

:24:34.:24:39.

too. Two open-top bus parade in to use -

:24:39.:24:42.

you are going to have good buy your own bus soon!

:24:42.:24:46.

So people never get that opportunity, and on forged --

:24:46.:24:52.

fortunately I have done it three times with Swansea now. We enjoy it

:24:52.:24:58.

as much as the fans. He I have grabbed it -- drag him away from

:24:58.:25:06.

the cake, vice-president of Swansea City, lifelong fan, I think he will

:25:06.:25:10.

sleep in this tonight. What was that like tonight? You're

:25:10.:25:15.

out there getting the crowd going. They say it 25,000 fans turned up?

:25:15.:25:19.

We thought that because it was called maybe nobody would come. It

:25:19.:25:23.

was more than the last time we went up to the Premiership. A great

:25:23.:25:27.

sense of unity in the city. The football club has given the city

:25:27.:25:31.

and identity, something to be proud of. So often we put ourselves down

:25:31.:25:35.

in Wales in general, the city has seen a hard times, and now we can

:25:35.:25:39.

look forward to the future and be hopeful, be proud and look forward

:25:39.:25:45.

to it with a real sense of, what does the future hold?

:25:45.:25:48.

Lots of fans are just walking around shaking their heads, they

:25:48.:25:53.

cannot believe what do club has achieved. From ten years ago until

:25:53.:25:58.

now, it is dreamland, isn't it? This is sort of way it started, 12

:25:58.:26:02.

or 13 years ago, and some people are here today that put their hands

:26:02.:26:09.

in their pockets to rescue the club. It has been... Just looking at

:26:09.:26:12.

their faces, I think we're all thinking that we're going to wake

:26:12.:26:18.

up, but it is a real! At what next? Where does the dream ended? That is

:26:18.:26:23.

the thing, if we going to Europe next, we have earned the right to

:26:23.:26:27.

be there, we won a proper trophy, and I think we will do well because

:26:27.:26:32.

we are right European club now. Enjoy the rest of your evening, and

:26:32.:26:35.

remember to take off the staff before you go to sleep tonight. Ten

:26:35.:26:39.

years ago, Swansea City were fighting for survival. Tonight,

:26:39.:26:43.
