:01:40. > :01:44.have recovered a gun from the scene. One eyewitness described seeing two

:01:54. > :01:58.Jordan Davies is at the scene. Officers have been here all day

:02:11. > :02:14.told us they are now concerned for their safety after this shocking
:02:14. > :02:19.incident. One woman dead and the man seriously
:02:19. > :02:23.injured after a shooting on a residential street in Newport.
:02:23. > :02:27.Officers were called to this estate just after nine o'clock this
:02:27. > :02:32.morning. Eyewitnesses reported hearing three loud bangs. Armed
:02:32. > :02:36.police arrived and found a 46-year-old woman and 49-year-old
:02:36. > :02:40.man with serious injuries. This picture, captured by an eyewitness,
:02:41. > :02:44.shows what happened after the incident. Both people were taken to
:02:44. > :02:50.the Royal Gwent Hospital. The woman died and the man remains in a
:02:50. > :02:56.serious condition. I walk along here every day to go to work and come
:02:56. > :03:02.home from work and I feel now for my own safety. This is not something
:03:02. > :03:06.you ever expected in Newport. You read it on the news from America.
:03:06. > :03:11.You definitely think there will be some petty crimes but nothing that
:03:11. > :03:19.violent. You don't think it is got to happen in your neighbourhood.
:03:19. > :03:24.Police have recovered a firearm from the scene. Neighbours say the pair
:03:24. > :03:30.had been married but were separated. The police are not looking for
:03:30. > :03:35.anybody else. A fire arm was found in situ and we are not looking for
:03:35. > :03:38.anybody out in connection with this into -- incident. The two people
:03:38. > :03:44.were known to each other and I had been previously involved in a
:03:44. > :03:50.relationship. Officers have set up a chord in at the entrance to the
:03:50. > :03:54.estate. They have been working to reassure locals. Community leaders
:03:54. > :04:00.are urging people to cooperate with police. I have had some people
:04:00. > :04:04.asking about their safety. But I am reassured there are no concerns to
:04:04. > :04:09.the wider community. Nobody should feel threatened. I would just advise
:04:09. > :04:16.them to stay calm, stay positive. It is a shocking time and a sad moment
:04:16. > :04:18.for all of us. But there is no threat to them at all. Frenzy teams
:04:18. > :04:28.and detectives are examining the area for clues to determine what
:04:28. > :04:28.
:04:28. > :04:31.happened. Clearly enquiries will continue. The
:04:31. > :04:34.incident has also been referred to the Independent Police Complaints
:04:34. > :04:37.Commission because the two people involved were already known to
:04:37. > :04:39.officers. We will have to wait to see what they have to say about that
:04:39. > :04:41.as well. Plans to fine the parents of
:04:41. > :04:45.children who are regular truants from school should be dropped,
:04:45. > :04:49.according to a group of AMs. The fixed penalty notices of up to �120
:04:49. > :04:52.are due to be introduced next month. But a report by the Assembly's
:04:52. > :04:55.Children's Committee says it found no support for the idea and the
:04:55. > :04:59.Government should look for alternatives, as Cemlyn Davies now
:04:59. > :05:02.reports. The penalties can already be severe,
:05:02. > :05:07.with parents being sent to prison for allowing their children to play
:05:07. > :05:17.truant. In 2003, a mother from Llanelli became the first person in
:05:17. > :05:21.Wales to be jailed for failing to send her child to school. Court
:05:21. > :05:25.action against parents has soared in recent years. But the Welsh
:05:25. > :05:29.government believes more still needs to be done. From the beginning of
:05:29. > :05:32.the new school term, parents could face a fine of �60 if their children
:05:32. > :05:35.persistently play truant. And if that isn't paid within 28 days, it
:05:35. > :05:44.would rise to �120. But the National Assembly's Children's Committee says
:05:44. > :05:47.it's found no support for the idea and it should be dropped. We saw no
:05:47. > :05:55.local evidence. They have trialled fines in England for a number of
:05:55. > :05:59.years. This issue was dealt with in the review. No recommendation in the
:05:59. > :06:02.review to introduce fines for truancy. What we think now is that
:06:02. > :06:06.the new minister needs to actually look at the evidence and perhaps
:06:06. > :06:09.take a step back. English councils have been issuing parents with fines
:06:09. > :06:12.since 2004. More than 40,000 fixed penalty notices were issued in
:06:12. > :06:22.England during the 2011-2012 school year. But truancy figures have
:06:22. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:45.governor. He thinks fining parents is the only solution. Parents do
:06:45. > :06:48.have a responsibility to send their children to school. If it hits the
:06:48. > :06:55.pocket, the parents will think twice. The pressure has to be on the
:06:55. > :07:02.child. Parts of South Wales have the highest rates of nonattendance at
:07:03. > :07:10.school in the UK. But why is that? Clearly some parents do not have the
:07:10. > :07:14.necessary parenting skills. There is a serious problem of bullying and an
:07:14. > :07:21.increasing problem of cyber bullying in some schools. And in Wales we now
:07:21. > :07:26.have a situation where a lot of the truants are actually children of
:07:26. > :07:31.parents and grandparents who themselves were truants. There are
:07:31. > :07:36.calls for a national strategy to tackle truancy. Everybody agrees it
:07:36. > :07:39.is a priority. But how that should be done is still a topic for debate.
:07:39. > :07:42.Police say the death of a cyclist in Pontnewynydd near Pontypool, has now
:07:42. > :07:48.become a murder investigation. 63-year-old John Reeder died
:07:48. > :07:53.yesterday morning. Four people have been arrested. Here's Paul Heaney.
:07:53. > :07:58.Small reminders of a tragic event. This busy commuter road in
:07:58. > :08:02.Pontnewynydd near Pontypool ground to a halt yesterday as police
:08:02. > :08:11.scoured the scene for evidence to find out how 63-year-old John Reeder
:08:11. > :08:17.lost his life. I got here at eight o'clock and it was all taped off. It
:08:17. > :08:21.was even taped off around the back. There were loads of police.
:08:21. > :08:28.Overnight it turned into a murder investigation. Three men, aged
:08:28. > :08:31.between 18 and 23, along with the 19-year-old woman, were arrested.
:08:31. > :08:34.Police say John Reeder were cycling along this road of around six
:08:34. > :08:42.o'clock yesterday morning when he fell off his bike. They are asking
:08:42. > :08:45.more people to get in touch. As the tributes grew throughout the
:08:45. > :08:51.afternoon, many remembered John Reeder fondly as a man who used to
:08:51. > :08:58.cycle past year to attend to the forces he kept nearby. You would
:08:58. > :09:04.always see him around. I have known him for a long time really. A very
:09:04. > :09:10.quiet type of man. He kept himself to himself. I don't think he would
:09:10. > :09:14.do any harm to anybody. There is sadness among people in this
:09:14. > :09:24.community. Why was a well liked man's life cut short on a simple
:09:24. > :09:27.early morning bike ride? Eight more alleged victims of a man
:09:27. > :09:30.accused of the historical sex abuse of 15 young people at children's
:09:30. > :09:34.homes in North Wales, have come forward to police, a court has
:09:34. > :09:36.heard. John Allen, seen here at a previous court appearance, is a
:09:36. > :09:40.former boss of the Bryn Alyn Community, which operated several
:09:40. > :09:43.homes. His lawyer says he intends to deny all 32 charges, alleged to have
:09:43. > :09:46.taken place between 1968 and 1989 More than 10,000 patients waited
:09:46. > :09:56.over the maximum 36 weeks for NHS treatment in June, according to
:09:56. > :09:59.official figures. That's an increase of 1,200 on the previous month.
:09:59. > :10:02.Opposition parties said the latest increase was "shameful" - the Welsh
:10:02. > :10:10.government said all health boards have recovery plans to clear the
:10:10. > :10:14.backlog, and it expects improvements.
:10:14. > :10:21.And North Wales health board is being told to improve it -- its
:10:21. > :10:25.hospital discharges. It is to be reported to NHS inspectors after the
:10:25. > :10:30.public services ombudsman found that two hospitals had failed in the care
:10:30. > :10:38.of a patient with Parkinson's disease. The board has admitted
:10:38. > :10:43.below standard care. They need to look more carefully at
:10:43. > :10:51.what is happening on clinical records. If you want to save NHS
:10:51. > :10:54.care, records are a fundamental part of that. They need to be sampling
:10:54. > :10:59.records and satisfying themselves that the policy is as it should be.
:10:59. > :11:01.They also need to make sure that it is not enough to have good discharge
:11:01. > :11:05.policies in place. You also have to make sure they are being followed.
:11:05. > :11:09.A natural leader, inspirational, dependable and fearless. Those were
:11:09. > :11:13.just some of the tributes paid today at the funeral of Craig Roberts. He
:11:13. > :11:16.was one of the three Army reservists who died after taking part in a
:11:16. > :11:19.Special Forces selection exercise in the Brecon Beacons last month.
:11:19. > :11:26.Hundreds of people lined the streets of Llandudno for the service, which
:11:26. > :11:31.was held with full military honours. Roger Pinney reports.
:11:31. > :11:35.They came to honour a fallen comrade. Not this time in the dust
:11:35. > :11:40.of Afghanistan, but the green of the Brecon Beacons. Craig Roberts died
:11:40. > :11:43.in the service of his country nonetheless. Regulars from his
:11:43. > :11:48.regiment, the Royal Anglians, carried his coffin past his family
:11:48. > :11:57.into Llandudno's Holy Trinity Church. And it was from the regiment
:11:57. > :12:01.the first tribute came. Craig was the epitome of the can do
:12:01. > :12:05.volunteer ethos. He will be missed dearly by everybody who knew him.
:12:06. > :12:09.His family, his friends, his colleagues, his comrades within the
:12:09. > :12:14.regiment and the wider army. We will miss him greatly and we will
:12:14. > :12:24.remember him. There were hundreds inside the
:12:24. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:29.church, and outside the service was relayed to hundreds more. I would
:12:29. > :12:32.like to tell you what an outstanding soldier he was.
:12:32. > :12:37.His friends spoke of his qualities. He made a difference, said one.
:12:37. > :12:44.Inspiring and committed, said another. Dependable, fearless and
:12:44. > :12:47.ready for anything. His enthusiasm for life and to experience
:12:47. > :12:50.everything was both impressive and infectious. And in the Brecon
:12:50. > :12:54.Beacons, it was displaying that commitment Craig Roberts died. He
:12:54. > :12:57.was taking part in a training exercise for the SAS. He wanted to
:12:57. > :13:00.join the best of the best. Two others with him that day also lost
:13:00. > :13:05.their lives. There was 31-year-old Trooper Eddie Maher, and James
:13:05. > :13:15.Dunsby from Bath. He died in hospital after weeks of intensive
:13:15. > :13:19.
:13:19. > :13:23.care. One army exercise, three lives lost. There are enquiries. Today in
:13:23. > :13:26.Aberdare the coroner opened her enquiry into the death of one of the
:13:26. > :13:36.men. She said she would be looking at the human rights act, which
:13:36. > :13:40.guarantees a right to life. There will be questions. There needs to be
:13:40. > :13:49.questions and answers. But that's for another time. Today was for
:13:49. > :13:52.Craig Roberts family and friends. It was their time to remember.
:13:52. > :14:02.You're watching Wales Today. Plenty still ahead from the National
:14:02. > :14:05.
:14:05. > :14:12.controversy, campaigners say. It's wrong an English language film got
:14:12. > :14:17.the top award. And it's great caravanning weather in the Maes. But
:14:17. > :14:27.will this sunshine last till the weekend? Stay tuned for a full

:14:27. > :14:30.Patients and staff at Wales' only children's hospital are moving back
:14:31. > :14:35.in days after major flooding there led to what's been described as
:14:35. > :14:38.unimaginable devastation. Cardiff and Vale Health Board insists that
:14:38. > :14:42.patient care was unaffected by the hospital's closure on Monday after
:14:42. > :14:51.heavy rain. But they will now investigate to find out what exactly
:14:51. > :14:55.went wrong. Steffan Messenger has the story.
:14:55. > :15:00.The big clean-up. Staff say the heavy rainfall turned these
:15:00. > :15:04.corridors into a scene from a disaster movie. And was in charge on
:15:04. > :15:08.one of the cancer ward. The streams of water started flowing through
:15:08. > :15:13.light fittings and down the walls. It was like a power shower down the
:15:13. > :15:19.corridor, lots of water coming through. And quite quickly spread to
:15:19. > :15:23.the rooms, at the side, so we instigated the evacuation policy we
:15:23. > :15:28.have got in our minds in case of a fire and followed that. Two wards
:15:28. > :15:33.reopened today with the remaining two reopening next week. Questions
:15:33. > :15:38.are being asked about how rainfall could have led to so much damage.
:15:38. > :15:42.are in the process at the moment of really being concerned with the
:15:42. > :15:47.patient welfare, trying to respond to the immediate needs and getting
:15:47. > :15:50.ourselves back into the building. The management don't believe it will
:15:50. > :15:58.happen again. So the process of working out what caused this will
:15:58. > :16:03.happen in due course. Back now in familiar surroundings, this
:16:03. > :16:07.one-year-old recovering from liver cancer was one of those relocated to
:16:07. > :16:13.the main hospital building. Even though it was chaos, everybody knew
:16:13. > :16:18.where they had to go, what needed to be done. They couldn't have done any
:16:18. > :16:23.better under the circumstances. million worth of fundraising by the
:16:23. > :16:27.no -- Noah 's Ark appeal paid for the hospital. There's no word yet

:17:44. > :17:47.showcasing some of the best crafts and fine art. Not for the first
:17:47. > :17:50.time, one piece of art is proving controversial. The Eisteddfod's
:17:51. > :17:53.decision to award its �5,000 Fine Art Prize to a video filmed in
:17:53. > :17:58.English has been called a dangerous precedent by a Welsh language
:17:58. > :18:02.campaign group. Dyfodol i'r Iaith, which means A Future For the
:18:02. > :18:12.Language, has criticised the decision. Our arts and media
:18:12. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:19.correspondent Huw Thomas reports. The Bernabeu words are supposed to
:18:20. > :18:26.represent the superficial worries of anxious mind. From Somerset but
:18:26. > :18:31.based in Cardiff, Josephine won the Eisteddfod's main prize on her first
:18:31. > :18:37.attempt. I see it personally as the unconscious thoughts going through
:18:37. > :18:42.the head. It is this symbol of unconsciousness. Wiping off, wiping
:18:42. > :18:50.on, wiping off, constantly. It is unpleasant as well. Within the
:18:50. > :18:55.Eisteddfod cosmic -- Eisteddfod's prizes, this is one of the best
:18:55. > :18:59.prices to receive. The judge 's decision to award a prize to a video
:19:00. > :19:03.film completely in English is controversial. The art pavilion has
:19:03. > :19:07.showcased Welsh art for decades but the English video has worried some
:19:07. > :19:15.language campaigners who insist that all Eisteddfod events should be in
:19:15. > :19:21.Welsh. I think it is a dangerous precedent for Welsh. We need to
:19:21. > :19:24.protect and develop the Welsh language. This is the only place
:19:24. > :19:33.where I can spend a whole week living my life through the medium of
:19:33. > :19:36.Welsh. We must protect that. The Welsh language risk -- exists for a
:19:36. > :19:41.reason and it should be protected. Away from the singing and dancing,
:19:41. > :19:46.is an art competition considered an event and does this video break that
:19:46. > :19:53.Welsh rule? They are questions which have got organisers thinking.
:19:53. > :19:57.are other works with English text on them. Such as the financial Times,
:19:57. > :20:01.the Ordinance survey map. We need that discussion and we need to
:20:01. > :20:06.address that subject. How do we interpret the Welsh language role
:20:06. > :20:14.within the visual arts. The art pavilion is often controversial. In
:20:14. > :20:24.the Vale of Glamorgan a murder -- a murder or covered up after

:20:25. > :20:29.objections from her family near -- living nearby. This is a bilingual
:20:29. > :20:35.country. I don't think we should fear the fact English is here, as
:20:35. > :20:42.long as there is full support, 100%, for the Welsh language. Not too much
:20:42. > :20:47.of it, but I think they should have some of it. We want English-speaking
:20:47. > :20:53.Welsh people to come as well. talking about ideas and concepts,
:20:53. > :20:58.which is fine by me. Judges said they were gripped by the chapter on
:20:58. > :21:04.the winning video but it has triggered another conversation about
:21:04. > :21:07.the arts role, respecting the Welsh pony Eisteddfod rule. -- the Welsh
:21:08. > :21:13.only. Huw Thomas joins me now. The timing
:21:13. > :21:16.is interesting as well, isn't it? comes just as the Eisteddfod is
:21:16. > :21:21.undergoing a review, looking how it can modernise. Part of the remote is
:21:21. > :21:26.to look at how to attract non-Welsh speakers to the event. This debate
:21:26. > :21:31.highlights the tension existing between those who want to protect it
:21:32. > :21:36.and those who like the Welsh rule. Away from this row, new research has
:21:36. > :21:44.been published on the use of the English language to coincide.
:21:44. > :21:49.is research from the government and the BBC, looking how people use
:21:49. > :21:54.Welsh day-to-day. There is a lack of confidence using it on social media.
:21:54. > :21:57.People were keen to use Welsh news services and new environment. One of
:21:57. > :22:01.the other things it found was that there was a lack of knowledge about

:22:14. > :22:19.they all say they will factor that research into their future plans.
:22:19. > :22:24.Thank you very much. By the way, these paintings are by a previous
:22:24. > :22:27.winner of the fine art competition. Very colourful, too. There was a
:22:27. > :22:30.colourful ceremony in the Pink Pavilion today. The Drama Medal was
:22:30. > :22:33.won by Glesni Haf Jones from Cardiff. The judges thought Glesni's
:22:33. > :22:36.performance showed the most promise and she has the most potential to be
:22:36. > :22:39.further developed as an actress. Glesni will now be given the
:22:39. > :22:46.opportunity to work with Sherman Cymru, and the Welsh language
:22:46. > :22:49.national theatre company, Theatr Genedlaethol. That's it from the

:22:53. > :22:58.And, as you can see from our camera in the sky, there are hundreds of
:22:58. > :23:08.campers and caravanners staying just on the edge of the main Maes. And
:23:08. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:18.I have. This caravan belongs to Mr and Mrs James. They've come all the
:23:18. > :23:26.way from clan drama. They are relaxing after a busy day on the
:23:26. > :23:30.Maes. This is one of the 700 caravans here. This site is almost
:23:30. > :23:35.full. Just a stones throw from the main action taking place on the
:23:35. > :23:40.maize field. Apart from Monday, which was a little bit wet, it has
:23:40. > :23:45.been good caravanning weather so far. Although having said that, last
:23:45. > :23:49.night was chilly. Attempted dropped as low as seven Celsius. Tonight is
:23:49. > :23:54.going to be warmer because there's more clout around. There's a little
:23:54. > :23:57.bit of rain on the way as well. Good news, if you're coming to the
:23:57. > :24:03.Eisteddfod tomorrow, there is more dry weather to come, although it is
:24:03. > :24:08.not going to be quite as warm as it was today. The tempter here today
:24:08. > :24:12.reached 21 Celsius. 18 tomorrow with a bit more of a breeze. This evening
:24:12. > :24:17.starts off dry, but it will not last. Rain will spread across the
:24:17. > :24:20.country through the evening and overnight. Most of it will be light
:24:20. > :24:29.but I wouldn't rule out a few heavy bursts. The cloud is lowering
:24:29. > :24:34.overnight. Warmer than last night, lowers temperatures 14. The breeze
:24:34. > :24:39.tending to pick up a bit as well. Tomorrow's shower shows a front-line
:24:39. > :24:43.through eastern England with West to north-westerly winds, which will
:24:43. > :24:48.bring cooler and fresh air in from the Atlantic. Tomorrow, not a bad
:24:48. > :24:53.day, a reasonable day, in fact. It might start of cloudy with a few
:24:53. > :24:57.scattered showers, but it will dry and brighten up, the cloud will
:24:57. > :25:04.break with sunshine at times, no more than the odd light shower with
:25:04. > :25:10.most places having a dry afternoon. A little bit cooler, 18. 21 Celsius
:25:10. > :25:14.is the highest in Chepstow. There will be in north to north-westerly
:25:14. > :25:18.breeze. Tomorrow evening and night to look dry. The cloud tending to
:25:18. > :25:25.break with clear spells, some mist and fog patches forming by dawn.
:25:25. > :25:29.Lydon tonight. Temperatures dropping to 12 Celsius, about 13 Celsius
:25:29. > :25:34.elsewhere. As we head into the weekend, Saturday doesn't look too
:25:34. > :25:40.bad at all at this stage. Variable cloud, some sunshine at times, I'm
:25:40. > :25:44.not ruling out a shower but most places dry. On Saturday night into
:25:44. > :25:49.Sunday, it looks like a trough of low pressure will bring some rain
:25:49. > :25:52.and heavy showers, but this will clear away, and it'll brighten up on
:25:52. > :25:56.Sunday with sunny spells. You may have heard there is another heatwave
:25:56. > :26:04.on the way, but don't believe everything you hear because the
:26:04. > :26:09.signs are there isn't. The outlook for next week is there will be
:26:09. > :26:13.rain, showers with wind. Having said that, there will be a few nice and
:26:13. > :26:18.sunny spells as well. Temperatures will be around average but signs are
:26:18. > :26:22.it might get warmer next week. As I said, no sign of another heatwave.
:26:22. > :26:31.We have enjoyed a dry day here in Denbigh. The Count Bob is increasing
:26:31. > :26:34.now. A little bit of rain on its way. Tomorrow, there is more dry
:26:34. > :26:41.weather on the way. Good news for all the caravan is here and, if
:26:41. > :26:45.you're coming to the Eisteddfod, here in Denbigh.
:26:45. > :26:50.The main news from the BBC, Britain is in the middle of a baby boom with
