sorry. We are having problems bringing you that report.

:00:00.:00:18.

Good evening. The parents of six-day-old Eliza Mae who died

:00:19.:00:25.

following an incident in Pontyberem yesterday, have said she will always

:00:26.:00:31.

be in their hearts and thoughts. Sharon John and Patrick Mullane said

:00:32.:00:34.

there are no words to describe how they feel. The family dog has been

:00:35.:00:38.

seized as part of the police investigation. Here's our reporter,

:00:39.:00:53.

Cemlyn Davies. Today her parents said she will always be in the

:00:54.:00:56.

hearts and thoughts and they will cherish the little time they had

:00:57.:01:03.

together. Sharon John and Patrick Mullane said that losing her had

:01:04.:01:17.

cast a shadow over the lies. One of the messages reads Eliza Mae with

:01:18.:01:33.

the angels, rest in peace. Our sympathy goes out to them because it

:01:34.:01:38.

is the real tragedy as far as they are concerned and as far as the

:01:39.:01:46.

community is concerned. The emergency services were called

:01:47.:01:52.

around 8:30am yesterday and is one of the networks sought Sharon John

:01:53.:02:14.

shortly afterwards. -- neighbours saw her shortly afterwards. The

:02:15.:02:26.

family dog, and Alaskan Malamute was seized shortly later. The Dave's

:02:27.:02:36.

issue of the Sun newspaper has been criticised for its headline. Today,

:02:37.:02:41.

the paper said it had no intention of being disrespectful. The Sun

:02:42.:02:49.

newspaper has drastically overstepped the mark in what is

:02:50.:02:52.

decent and tasteful and they have caused offence to decent minded

:02:53.:03:00.

people who read the newspaper. An investigation into what happened

:03:01.:03:04.

here is continuing. Police said that they did not have enough information

:03:05.:03:18.

to determine how Eliza Mae died. The Prime Minister has told Wales Today

:03:19.:03:22.

he's happy to talk to the Welsh Government about any help he can

:03:23.:03:25.

offer to prevent flooding here. David Cameron was speaking on a

:03:26.:03:28.

visit to Pembrokeshire today, where he met people affected by the recent

:03:29.:03:32.

storms and saw some of the damage. While Mr Cameron didn't dismiss the

:03:33.:03:35.

idea of financial help, he pointed out the responsibility for flood

:03:36.:03:38.

defences is devolved. We are still waiting for the waters to receive

:03:39.:03:49.

the -- recede to see what needs to be done but we are always happy to

:03:50.:03:56.

talk about the future. Unemployment in Wales has fallen below the UK

:03:57.:04:00.

average for the first time in almost five years, according to latest

:04:01.:04:03.

figures from the Office for National Statistics. The rate of 7.1% is

:04:04.:04:06.

slightly below the UK average of 7.2%. The number of people out of

:04:07.:04:10.

work in Wales now stands at 105,000, a fall of 12,000, Swansea Council

:04:11.:04:13.

has become the first in Wales to agree a 5% rise in Council Tax. The

:04:14.:04:17.

Welsh Local Government Association says it expects at least four others

:04:18.:04:20.

to increase their Rates by the same amount. The Welsh Government has

:04:21.:04:25.

informally capped any Council Tax rises at 5%. Bridgend and

:04:26.:04:31.

Carmarthenshire Councils have today agreed to raise their rates by

:04:32.:04:38.

nearly 5% as well. A further 700 pupils at a school in

:04:39.:04:42.

Llanelli are to be offered screening for tuberculosis, after two previous

:04:43.:04:45.

testing sessions revealed six pupils and three staff had positive

:04:46.:04:48.

results. None are infectious, but the screening will be carried out as

:04:49.:04:56.

a precaution. The Wales Report - on after this

:04:57.:04:59.

programme - has been given special access to Operation Pallial - the

:05:00.:05:02.

investigation into allegations of historical abuse at care homes in

:05:03.:05:05.

North Wales. The head of the National Crime Agency says he's

:05:06.:05:08.

confident more people will be arrested. So far more that 250

:05:09.:05:12.

alleged victims of abuse have come forward and 37 suspects have been

:05:13.:05:18.

identified. One man has been charged. Roger Pinney reports. BBC

:05:19.:05:37.

were given exclusive access to this report and this update gives at the

:05:38.:05:43.

port of the scale of which the investigation is looking at. We will

:05:44.:05:51.

pursue the truth and we will ensure through the evidence we collect that

:05:52.:05:55.

the Crown Prosecution Service is in the best possible place to make

:05:56.:06:05.

arrests. There are 37 potential suspects in 19 potential suspects

:06:06.:06:09.

have been arrested in so far one man has been charged. Did they tell you

:06:10.:06:14.

why they have taken so long to come forward? Although that have been

:06:15.:06:21.

previous investigations, some people were asked in the 1990s if they were

:06:22.:06:27.

victims of abuse in care homes and they said no but back then they

:06:28.:06:30.

might have had children and might not wanted to have talked about it

:06:31.:06:36.

that now famous: They understand the impact on the level of abuse that

:06:37.:06:40.

had occurred and I think we are much better these days at recognising

:06:41.:06:47.

what we need to do to ensure that we support people where they have

:06:48.:06:51.

suffered abuse and the impact on their lives. Most of the Cairngorms

:06:52.:06:58.

under investigation have closed but some of the buildings are still the

:06:59.:07:03.

and they have been under the spotlight before. There was a year

:07:04.:07:11.

long tribunal of enquiry that this enquiry insists it is different and

:07:12.:07:16.

many of those that have given information to it have never spoken

:07:17.:07:22.

out before. Rugby, and one of Wales' most

:07:23.:07:25.

decorated players, Mike Phillips, has been dropped by Warren Gatland

:07:26.:07:28.

for Friday's Six Nations clash against France. The Wales management

:07:29.:07:30.

were disappointed with his indiscipline in the defeat against

:07:31.:07:33.

Ireland, where he was yellow-carded. He's been replaced by Ospreys

:07:34.:07:36.

scrum-half Rhys Webb who'll start an international match for the first

:07:37.:07:42.

time. We were not happy with his game against Ireland and he got a

:07:43.:07:52.

bit confrontational and got a yellow card and got into an argument with

:07:53.:08:04.

the rest -- with the referee. This is a good opportunity for him to

:08:05.:08:07.

reflect on his game and work on some aspects which need to improve.

:08:08.:08:15.

If you're going to the match on Friday evening it will be chilly

:08:16.:08:23.

with some showers. Rain tonight will clear to showers to tomorrow and for

:08:24.:08:30.

the rest of the night it is a cloudy picture with rain. There will be

:08:31.:08:35.

held fog and the wind will pick up as well, strong to Gill force in the

:08:36.:08:40.

north-west and a mild night for the middle of February. A wet and windy

:08:41.:08:44.

start for tomorrow morning that rain will clear as the morning wears on

:08:45.:08:49.

and it will start to brighten up but there will be showers. A band of

:08:50.:08:55.

rain and strong winds will clear eastwards during the day, followed

:08:56.:09:00.

by brighter skies and sunshine and showers. There will be quite a few

:09:01.:09:04.

showers for Northern England and Scotland with hail and thunder on

:09:05.:09:10.

the mountains. It will be a very mild 13 degrees in London. Tomorrow

:09:11.:09:16.

afternoon in Wales you may stay dry but there will also be a scattering

:09:17.:09:20.

of showers in the wind will ease. Tomorrow night, it will be mainly

:09:21.:09:28.

dry but a few showers will turn up after midnight and inland it will be

:09:29.:09:35.

cold enough for frost. Friday will have sunshine and showers with some

:09:36.:09:40.

heavy showers with possible hail and thunder. On Saturday, it will be dry

:09:41.:09:45.

for a while but damp and increasingly windy by the evening.

:09:46.:09:51.

But Saturday seems the better day of the weekend and turning wet and

:09:52.:09:52.

windy on Sunday. And that is Wales Today. We'll have

:09:53.:10:04.

updates from around 6.25 in the morning. For now, from all of us

:10:05.:10:06.

here, good night.
