Good evening. The leader of the Welsh

:00:10.:00:13.

Conservatives insists he'll carry on in the job after sacking four

:00:14.:00:16.

Assembly Members from the Shadow Cabinet. But Andrew RT Davies

:00:17.:00:19.

admitted there are internal divisions in the party and that

:00:20.:00:22.

they've existed for years. Daniel Davies has more.

:00:23.:00:31.

There have been misgivings in some quarters about the way Andrew RT

:00:32.:00:34.

Davies handled this affair. But he is not backing down. It is highly

:00:35.:00:39.

regrettable that people are supposedly giving briefings out if

:00:40.:00:44.

that is the case. But all we are seeing his sources and some of them

:00:45.:00:49.

even promoted as senior sources. What I know is a fact is that the 14

:00:50.:00:54.

Welsh Conservative members in the National Assembly are committed to

:00:55.:00:56.

one thing only, and that is improving the lives of the people of

:00:57.:01:01.

Wales. So, within a management board, the group and the party, you

:01:02.:01:04.

have the backing to carry on as leader? Without a shadow of a doubt.

:01:05.:01:11.

In an interview this morning, the Davis admitted anonymous briefings

:01:12.:01:13.

against him have made life awkward since he was elected leader in

:01:14.:01:19.

2011. One of the AM is that Mister Davis sank, -- sacked, said that was

:01:20.:01:29.

what to do so that the party could move on. There are lessons to be

:01:30.:01:35.

learned here. It is obvious this because as a problem. For anyone to

:01:36.:01:39.

say there are no problems in the group at the moment, there clearly

:01:40.:01:41.

are. We have to be upfront about those. They can be dealt with but we

:01:42.:01:46.

have to accept the other year. This row boiled over because of the vote

:01:47.:01:50.

on a highly technical aspect of devolving tax powers, but Andrew RT

:01:51.:02:01.

Davies' admission that there are divisions is a hint that there are

:02:02.:02:05.

deeper divisions to heal. A mother from Cardiff whose

:02:06.:02:07.

7-year-old son died after heart surgery has welcomed an inquiry into

:02:08.:02:11.

his death and others at Bristol Children's Hospital. A coroner ruled

:02:12.:02:13.

Luke Jenkins' death was neither predictable nor preventable but his

:02:14.:02:16.

family says unanswered questions remain. Caroline Evans reports.

:02:17.:02:19.

Luke Jenkins was born with only half of his heart working. But he was

:02:20.:02:24.

expected to recover from his third major heart operation. Instead,

:02:25.:02:30.

after surgery, he developed a severe brain injury. His parents had to

:02:31.:02:33.

take the decision to turn off his life-support. We still have a lot of

:02:34.:02:40.

unanswered questions. The inquest answered some of them but it also

:02:41.:02:44.

created a lot more as well. All they want is the truth and justice for

:02:45.:02:49.

what happened. The medical director of the NHS in England met with

:02:50.:02:54.

families last week. He said this will be an enquiry by the parents

:02:55.:02:59.

but led by Sir Ian Kennedy, who investigated the necessary deaths of

:03:00.:03:04.

dozens of babies in the 1990s. The important thing is that he conducted

:03:05.:03:11.

the original Bristol Royal Infirmary review, he understands the issues

:03:12.:03:14.

and can hit the ground running. The hospital has said it is troubled

:03:15.:03:18.

that the family has continued to have concerns. Their results have

:03:19.:03:22.

been shown to be safe and they have made improvements, which include

:03:23.:03:27.

better communications with payments. Meanwhile, Luke's family would also

:03:28.:03:31.

like to see a new inquest into his death.

:03:32.:03:35.

A man has been left unconscious by an avalanche which swept him and his

:03:36.:03:38.

partner 1,000 feet down Snowdon, burying him in four feet of snow.

:03:39.:03:42.

Rescuers got him off the mountain on a stretcher. The 28-year-old

:03:43.:03:45.

suffered back injuries and was taken to hospital by a helicopter from RAF

:03:46.:03:47.

Valley. ScottishPower say a few hundred

:03:48.:03:50.

homes remain without power after Wednesday's storm. A further 1,000

:03:51.:03:53.

are cut-off as a result of Friday's bad weather. The company says it

:03:54.:03:58.

hopes to restore all supplies by tomorrow.

:03:59.:04:00.

A director from Pembrokeshire will be among some the big names at

:04:01.:04:04.

tonight's BAFTA film awards. Kieran Evans from St Davids has made music

:04:05.:04:08.

videos for the likes of Kylie Minogue. He's been nominated in the

:04:09.:04:11.

Outstanding Debut category for his first feature-length film.

:04:12.:04:20.

The beauty of a film like this is it always surprises you that, you know,

:04:21.:04:24.

you find out other people are getting hold of it and the BAFTA

:04:25.:04:31.

nomination will do and are -- an amazing mate of publicity and reach

:04:32.:04:34.

out to audiences we have not had before.

:04:35.:04:38.

Rugby, and to a remarkable game at the Liberty Stadium where the

:04:39.:04:41.

Ospreys ran in 11 tries to beat Treviso 75-7 in the Pro12. It's

:04:42.:04:44.

their biggest ever win. Elsewhere, Wales forwards Gethin Jenkins and

:04:45.:04:48.

Sam Warburton played a part in the Blues' defeat to Glasgow Warriors by

:04:49.:04:51.

27-20. Swansea City have been knocked out

:04:52.:04:55.

of the FA Cup - they lost 3-1 to Everton in the fifth round. De

:04:56.:04:59.

Guzman equalised for the Swans but Everton scored two more goals to

:05:00.:05:01.

seal the win. A figure skater from Cardiff has

:05:02.:05:04.

made his debut at the Winter Olympics. Lloyd Jones wasn't

:05:05.:05:07.

representing Team GB, though, he was competing for France. He set a new

:05:08.:05:11.

season best as his mother, Dawn, watched from the crowd.

:05:12.:05:15.

The weather now, here's Chris Fawkes.

:05:16.:05:20.

Hope you enjoy the sunshine today. Temperatures were up to 10 Celsius

:05:21.:05:26.

and it was one of the best spells of whether for two months. It won't

:05:27.:05:30.

last however. Cloudy tonight with outbreaks of rain. It will time

:05:31.:05:34.

quite murky as well with some low cloud, missed and hill fog. The rain

:05:35.:05:41.

lingers into Monday. Across the north-east of Wales, probably only

:05:42.:05:46.

in millimetres or two. Some variation in image you will get.

:05:47.:05:50.

Highs of nine Celsius. We're back, later than usual, at

:05:51.:05:54.

11.15pm. From all of us here, have a good evening.

:05:55.:06:14.

Whilst we are talking about wet and windy weather in the week ahead, we

:06:15.:06:22.

will lose the extremes of last week. The first glow of the week will

:06:23.:06:25.

approach overnight.

:06:26.:06:27.
