:01:18. > :01:22.they'll "never get justice" after a legal blunder meant the alleged
:01:23. > :01:25.bomber has walked free. 19-year-old Corporal Jeffrey Young from

:01:30. > :01:35.Tonyrefail was killed in the 1982 Minister David Cameron has ordered a

:01:49. > :01:54.honour one of the four soldiers killed in the IRA bomb attack in
:01:55. > :01:59.London's Hyde Park. Corporal Jeffrey Young from the Household Cavalry was
:02:00. > :02:05.19 when he died. Seven days later he was buried with full military
:02:06. > :02:14.honours on his 20th birthday. He left behind a wife, two daughters,
:02:15. > :02:18.and a devastated family. We were all very proud of him. More than 30
:02:19. > :02:25.years on, his brother Vincent still has vivid memories of the day his
:02:26. > :02:30.brother was killed by the IRA. He was -- it was like a blur. We
:02:31. > :02:36.travelled to London. You could not see him because he was just
:02:37. > :02:52.mummified in bandages. And then the next day, he died. John Downey was
:02:53. > :02:55.due to stand trial at the Old Bailey for his part in the Hyde Park
:02:56. > :02:59.bombing. He denied the charges and the trial was halted after his legal
:03:00. > :03:01.team claimed he'd been issued with an official letter that gave
:03:02. > :03:05.assurances that he wouldn't been tried. That had been part of the
:03:06. > :03:08.Good Friday Peace Agreement. Now a political row is brewing over the
:03:09. > :03:11.existence of these secret letters. We were not the only people who knew
:03:12. > :03:12.about this, that the information about this was actually in the
:03:13. > :03:14.political about this was actually in the
:03:15. > :03:17.extent, within the public domain. Today Prime Minister David Cameron
:03:18. > :03:20.ordered a judge led inquiry in to the letters. The Neath MP Peter
:03:21. > :03:24.Hain, who was the Northern Ireland Secretary for part of the time when
:03:25. > :03:30.the letters were issued, defended the practice. It was a completely
:03:31. > :03:34.lawful process and I think the victims who have suffered such
:03:35. > :03:38.terrible trauma over the last few days with all sorts of accusations
:03:39. > :03:43.being flung around, as if there has been something sordid or full on, I
:03:44. > :03:52.think they need to be reassured that this was perfectly lawful. Back in
:03:53. > :03:59.Wales, Jeffrey Young's family view news of the judge led inquiry with
:04:00. > :04:04.cynicism. I just believe that is an end to it. We will never bring his
:04:05. > :04:07.killers to justice. We were all very proud of him, all the family.
:04:08. > :04:11.killers to justice. We were all very ended up burying him on his 20th
:04:12. > :04:14.birthday. It was very sad. "We're sorry - we made mistakes."
:04:15. > :04:17.That's the message from the leadership of Carmarthenshire
:04:18. > :04:19.council tonight after they voted to accept the recommendations of the
:04:20. > :04:29.Wales Audit Office report that pension payments to its chief
:04:30. > :04:32.executive Mark James were unlawful. Pembrokeshire council, which was
:04:33. > :04:36.also criticised over their payments, has already agreed to accept the
:04:37. > :04:41.report. Abigail Neal has more. Inside these four walls, a debate
:04:42. > :04:45.has been raging all day. Councillors came to take their seats and with
:04:46. > :04:49.the meeting broadcast over the web, some argued the scandal surrounding
:04:50. > :04:54.their chief executive had seriously damage the council 's reputation.
:04:55. > :04:57.This council 's name has been dragged through the mud. The chief
:04:58. > :05:04.executive is no longer at his desk, members are each other's throats,
:05:05. > :05:06.valuable time has been wasted and redirected away from what we are
:05:07. > :05:16.here to do, provide quality services. Today's event stem from a
:05:17. > :05:18.report about cash given in view of employer pension contributions to
:05:19. > :05:24.the Chief Executive 's of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire
:05:25. > :05:29.Council, Mark James and Bryn Parry Jones. The report stated that cash
:05:30. > :05:36.payments were unlawful. It also said a separate decision to pay for Mr
:05:37. > :05:41.James' legal fight against a blogger was also unlawful. Carmarthenshire
:05:42. > :05:47.Council spent more than ?26,000 helping him pursue a libel
:05:48. > :05:57.counterclaim for comments made in a blog. On the issue of pensions, the
:05:58. > :06:05.council admitted they were wrong. I am man enough to say sorry to anyone
:06:06. > :06:11.who has been upset by it. But we have learned from it. You do not
:06:12. > :06:14.always get everything right. The decision to cover the legal costs
:06:15. > :06:18.was trickier. But in the end, they voted to accept the auditor 's
:06:19. > :06:26.recommendations and agreed they would not do it again. The council
:06:27. > :06:29.has accepted the recommendations in both reports. That is an end of it
:06:30. > :06:34.from my point of view. It is not the end of it for the council. They have
:06:35. > :06:39.some things to look at and we will be monitoring that very closely. A
:06:40. > :06:47.Plaid Cymru Welsh and of no-confidence field.
:06:48. > :06:55.Abigail is at the council's headquarters tonight. Does this
:06:56. > :06:58.bring the issue to an end? It would seem so. Essentially what we saw
:06:59. > :07:02.today was the first opportunity of the full council to question their
:07:03. > :07:07.leadership about this issue of pension payments and legal payments
:07:08. > :07:10.to their Chief Executive. And although we heard lengthy
:07:11. > :07:13.discussions from the council 's executive board about why they did
:07:14. > :07:17.it, and that they were acting in good faith, it came down in the end
:07:18. > :07:22.to a straight vote, do we accept what the Wales audit say -- Wales
:07:23. > :07:28.Audit Office say or do we risk owing to court? By voting to accept the
:07:29. > :07:32.recommendations, the auditor has confirmed it is the end of it from
:07:33. > :07:40.his point of view. And what about this motion of no confidence? It is
:07:41. > :07:43.not too surprising that the Plaid Cymru motion did not go through.
:07:44. > :07:47.Although they are the largest party in this council, in a Labour
:07:48. > :07:51.independent coalition, they do not hold the majority of the vote.
:07:52. > :07:54.Although they did not get this motion of no-confidence, it can be
:07:55. > :07:59.said that they did the leadership a bloody nose because what has come
:08:00. > :08:03.out of this now is a recommendation to establish a cross-party group to
:08:04. > :08:06.look at governance within this council and certainly the leadership
:08:07. > :08:09.of Plaid Cymru tonight are saying they are happy with that. They are
:08:10. > :08:16.hoping this will improve decisions taken here and the way those
:08:17. > :08:19.decisions are made. A deputy head teacher from Cardiff, who has
:08:20. > :08:22.previously admitted secretly filming children in a toilet, has appeared
:08:23. > :08:24.in court charged with 48 further offences. 47-year-old Gareth
:08:25. > :08:28.Williams, who's been suspended from his job at Ysgol Glantaf, faces 12
:08:29. > :08:31.further counts of voyeurism, six of which relate to the school. He also
:08:32. > :08:33.faces charges of making and possessing indecent images of
:08:34. > :08:40.children. He was remanded in custody.
:08:41. > :08:43.A drug to treat people with alcohol dependence has been approved by the
:08:44. > :08:47.NHS here. Wales has followed Scotland by giving the go ahead to
:08:48. > :08:49.Nalmefene, which has been shown to more than halve the amount people
:08:50. > :08:53.drink, when used alongside psychological support. It's thought
:08:54. > :08:55.the drug could help some of the 140,000 people with alcohol
:08:56. > :09:05.dependence in Wales. The drug hasn't been approved in
:09:06. > :09:09.England yet. The leader of Anglesey council has
:09:10. > :09:13.voiced his objection to a merger with Gwynedd Council. He told
:09:14. > :09:17.members of the full council he would not accept a voluntary merger with
:09:18. > :09:19.the neighbouring authority, as was proposed in a
:09:20. > :09:23.council reorganisation. A man from Bridgend has been found
:09:24. > :09:26.guilty of murdering his wife by strangling her with a dog lead.
:09:27. > :09:30.Asiah Newton was found in the bedroom of her home in Pencoed last
:09:31. > :09:33.July. Cardiff Crown court heard that she told Kelvin Newton she wanted a
:09:34. > :09:42.divorce after meeting another man on holiday in Tunisia.
:09:43. > :09:45.The Prime Minister has been meeting Conservative AMs in Downing Street
:09:46. > :09:48.amid tensions within the party over its devolution policy. The meeting
:09:49. > :09:51.takes place two weeks after the Welsh Tory leader, Andrew RT Davies,
:09:52. > :09:54.sacked four members of his shadow cabinet for rebelling over the
:09:55. > :09:56.transfer of income tax powers. Live now to Downing Street, and our
:09:57. > :10:08.parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock.
:10:09. > :10:16.What brings you here? Jobs, prosperity. Not a crisis summit?
:10:17. > :10:23.What crisis? David, no crisis summit, so what did
:10:24. > :10:25.they find it awkward? This was a long planned annual meeting beast we
:10:26. > :10:31.need Prime Minister and his Assembly Members but in politics, as in
:10:32. > :10:33.comedy, timing is everything and it follows the fallout from the shadow
:10:34. > :10:39.cabinet reshuffle and also differences between Andrew Arty
:10:40. > :10:45.Davis and the Secretary of State for Wales, David Jones. Their body
:10:46. > :10:48.language suggests that those differences may go rather deeper
:10:49. > :10:52.than the minutiae of fiscal devolution. There have been
:10:53. > :10:57.questions from Downing Street in the run-up to this summit today, trying
:10:58. > :11:04.to find out just what it led to, the departure of those four Cabinet
:11:05. > :11:07.ministers -- shadow cabinet ministers. And the tensions between
:11:08. > :11:13.the party in Wales and Westminster. I asked one Assembly Member, when is
:11:14. > :11:22.your leader? And she replied, which one? That gets to the heart of their
:11:23. > :11:25.recent problems. Andrew Davies and David Jones went into the meeting
:11:26. > :11:30.separately with their various entourages but they emerged as one.
:11:31. > :11:41.They gave a rare joint interview, this is what they said. We actually
:11:42. > :11:46.have not got any differences. The position is, the draft Wales Bill
:11:47. > :11:50.has been published and that is the form which the Bill will proceed.
:11:51. > :11:54.The Welsh select committee is reporting tomorrow and we will look
:11:55. > :11:57.carefully at the recommendations. A policy we have announced is party
:11:58. > :12:02.policy and I think we are agreed on that. This is a positive meeting, a
:12:03. > :12:06.meeting of Assembly Members and the Secretary of State, and the Prime
:12:07. > :12:09.Minister, everyone making sure there is a strong conservative voice for
:12:10. > :12:18.Wales. That was a positive meeting we just had. The focus was very much
:12:19. > :12:22.on jobs, concern about those jobs at the refinery in Milford Haven, the
:12:23. > :12:29.prospect of rail electrification and no one, apparently, mentioned those
:12:30. > :12:36.sacked shadow cabinet members. You're watching Wales Today. Stay
:12:37. > :12:40.with us. Plenty still ahead. Swansea on the scoresheet. We will have the
:12:41. > :12:44.latest from Italy. And there's a mixture of rain, sleet
:12:45. > :12:52.and snow on the way tonight. Snow for some of us, but not everywhere.
:12:53. > :12:55.Stay tuned for a full forecast. Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has been
:12:56. > :13:00.criticised for releasing higher than permitted levels of sewage into a
:13:01. > :13:03.river in Wrexham. The company has been fined ?15,000 for deliberately
:13:04. > :13:06.discharging waste into the River Clywedog when its overflow tanks
:13:07. > :13:10.were full. It's the fifth time in the last five months the firm has
:13:11. > :13:17.been prosecuted for failings at its sewage plants in North Wales.
:13:18. > :13:20.Matthew Richards reports. Five Fords Sewage Treatment Plant
:13:21. > :13:24.receives waste from across Wrexham, including the town's main industrial
:13:25. > :13:27.estate. But following an audit by Natural Resources Wales, it emerged
:13:28. > :13:32.that more raw sewage was being released into a nearby river than it
:13:33. > :13:36.should. That's because its overflow tanks were full and an operational
:13:37. > :13:42.decision was taken to pump the excess waste out.
:13:43. > :13:46.decision was taken to pump the is the river, which is a tributary
:13:47. > :13:49.of the River Dee. Because drinking water is taken from the River Dee,
:13:50. > :13:52.the water here is readily monitored and it was when samples were taken
:13:53. > :13:59.from here in July 2012 at higher than normal levels of ammonium while
:14:00. > :14:01.found. The levels were still within acceptable standards and there were
:14:02. > :14:07.no ill effects on wildlife or people. But fining the company
:14:08. > :14:10.?15,000 today the chairman of Wrexham magistrates said there was a
:14:11. > :14:13.significant risk of harm. Dwr Cymru Welsh water runs 800 sewage
:14:14. > :14:16.treatment plants like this one in Cardiff, fed by 19,000 kilometres of
:14:17. > :14:20.sewer. Since the period in question ?23 million of improvements have
:14:21. > :14:24.been made at the Five Fords plant to reduce the risk of a similar
:14:25. > :14:30.incident. We have invested heavily at this plant in Wrexham in order to
:14:31. > :14:34.high standards and this was a breach high standards and this was a breach
:14:35. > :14:38.of consent on a technicality. It had no But Natural Resources Wales has
:14:39. > :14:41.criticised Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for a series of failings at other sewage
:14:42. > :14:44.works in North Wales. Impact on customers nor the environment. This
:14:45. > :14:50.is the fifth prosecution of the company here, and the most serious.
:14:51. > :14:53.We work with them, as we do with any commercial company, to make sure
:14:54. > :14:55.that they operate within the law and the environmental permits that they
:14:56. > :15:04.have God. This is not the first time we have been in this situation. The
:15:05. > :15:07.court heard how Natural Resources Wales weren't informed of the
:15:08. > :15:10.company's decision to discharge the extra waste and the firm has
:15:11. > :15:12.apologised for its failures in communication behind the case.
:15:13. > :15:16.A key measure of economic performance from the European Union
:15:17. > :15:20.suggests that Wales has fallen further behind the average of the
:15:21. > :15:22.European Union. That is despite the country receiving billions of pounds
:15:23. > :15:29.worth of funding from Brussels to help the economy. Our political
:15:30. > :15:33.reporter Dan Davis joins me now. We have been on the slide since the
:15:34. > :15:37.middle of the last decade. In other words, before the financial crisis,
:15:38. > :15:42.before the recession. What we are looking at is and assessment of how
:15:43. > :15:49.the economy is in the nations and regions perform and the European
:15:50. > :15:53.Union uses those figures to decide on funding. It is basically an
:15:54. > :15:58.assessment on standard of living. If you imagine the average is 100%, we
:15:59. > :16:04.can see who is above and below that line. In Wales in the year 2000, we
:16:05. > :16:10.were 85% of the average. That went up to 90% over the next couple of
:16:11. > :16:14.years but by 2011, it had come back down to 74%. We are looking in
:16:15. > :16:21.particular at West Wales and the valleys. That region cover is --
:16:22. > :16:27.covers pretty much most of Wales. The same story again, raising
:16:28. > :16:34.towards the middle of the decade but then going straight back down.
:16:35. > :16:43.Since the year 2000, Wales has had just over ?4 billion worth of aid
:16:44. > :16:46.from the European Union. As it happens, I was in Strasbourg this
:16:47. > :16:52.week covering a meeting of the European Parliament where I met the
:16:53. > :16:55.European Commissioner in charge of regional policy, in charge of all
:16:56. > :17:03.this funding, and this is what he had to say. It is difficult to
:17:04. > :17:05.assess but certainly the situation would be much worse result in the
:17:06. > :17:15.structural funds, so I would that the structural fund
:17:16. > :17:21.contribution has mitigated the problems of the crisis and I think
:17:22. > :17:27.this is the message we have to pass. Not everyone agrees with that
:17:28. > :17:33.assessment. Get bed is a vocal critic of the way this money has
:17:34. > :17:37.been spent. He says the money has been wasted. Leanne Wood has said
:17:38. > :17:43.there needs to be a review of this funding. The Welsh Government says
:17:44. > :17:46.this data is from 2011. More recent data shows that the economy in Wales
:17:47. > :17:51.is moving on the right track. When this funding was first announced, it
:17:52. > :17:53.was announced as a once in a generation opportunity. We have had
:17:54. > :17:59.a once in a generation recession since then. The question is has that
:18:00. > :18:04.undone the work of all that money? Car manufacturers are producing more
:18:05. > :18:08.of them. The Government is offering us grants to buy them, so why are
:18:09. > :18:12.there so few electric cars on our roads? There are moves to get more
:18:13. > :18:14.of us in Wales to switch from petrol engines to electric powered
:18:15. > :18:17.vehicles. Opponents say the technology is still too expensive.
:18:18. > :18:20.But converts say electric cars bring environmental and economic benefits.
:18:21. > :18:22.Iolo ap Dafydd reports. If you use motorway service
:18:23. > :18:24.stations, you may have seen one of these, Japanese car manufacturing
:18:25. > :18:27.Nissan and renewable energy company have paid to install them. There are
:18:28. > :18:32.eight electric charge points along the M4 in South Wales. The ambition
:18:33. > :18:37.is to have them on main roads all over Britain within two years. We
:18:38. > :18:42.will have done 250 motorway charge points by the end of next year. How
:18:43. > :18:46.long will it be be for you can drive 50 miles, 60 miles, in any part of
:18:47. > :18:52.Britain and you could come across a charging point like this? Maybe two
:18:53. > :18:56.years from now. Currently power at motorway plug-in points is free. The
:18:57. > :19:01.National trust in Wales is also keen to expand the number of charging
:19:02. > :19:06.points. They have 26 plug-in sockets at their main site and another ten
:19:07. > :19:08.will be installed next month. There are 28 million vehicles in Britain
:19:09. > :19:14.but despite a government grant of up to ?5,000 to help pay for a new
:19:15. > :19:17.electric car, sales have not yet taken off. There is an increase,
:19:18. > :19:31.almost 3800 grants given out last year. David Walker is a convert. The
:19:32. > :19:34.book price is 28,000 but with the ?5,000 grant from the government and
:19:35. > :19:39.the dealers that are quite keen to get the ball rolling on selling
:19:40. > :19:44.electric cars, you can get another reduction of maybe 3000. You are
:19:45. > :19:46.down towards 20,000. If you wanted to hire the batteries in
:19:47. > :19:51.down towards 20,000. If you wanted rather than buy them out right, that
:19:52. > :19:55.reduces it again by another ?5,000. Inside, the car is much quieter than
:19:56. > :20:03.ordinary vehicles. David also has a petrol car but loses this -- uses
:20:04. > :20:07.this car locally. We are in a rural area. Finding a charging point could
:20:08. > :20:11.be a problem. But as people see more electric cars on the road, people
:20:12. > :20:17.will start putting charging points in their own garages. According to a
:20:18. > :20:21.website, there are around 50 charging points in Wales. But with
:20:22. > :20:25.more than 1.7 million vehicles on our roads, there has been a modest
:20:26. > :20:29.increase in vehicles powered electrically in the past six years.

:20:52. > :20:54.hoping to make a bit of history tonight. Here's Claire with
:20:55. > :21:01.tonight's sport. How are they doing? Good evening. So far, so good. Yes,
:21:02. > :21:04.it's half time on Swansea City's biggest night in Europe. They're
:21:05. > :21:07.looking to progress through to the last 16 of the Europa league. It was
:21:08. > :21:10.all square after the first leg, which ended goalless. Tonight
:21:11. > :21:16.they're in Napoli's own backyard. They kicked off at 6pm. Both sides
:21:17. > :21:23.have had their opportunities but the breakthrough came for the home side
:21:24. > :21:24.on 20 minutes. They have had more chances but Swansea got their
:21:25. > :21:32.equaliser. And that is how chances but Swansea got their
:21:33. > :21:35.half ended. Let's go live to Naples now and hear from our football
:21:36. > :21:48.correspondent Rob Phillips, who is commentating on the game for BBC
:21:49. > :21:51.Radio Wales. Yes, it is advantage Swansea City at
:21:52. > :21:56.the moment because they have scored this away goal. The first leg a week
:21:57. > :22:00.ago was goalless, any away score draw would be good enough for
:22:01. > :22:08.Swansea City. Effectively, they are 45 minutes plus injury time from a
:22:09. > :22:12.place in the last 16. That would be absolutely historic. And they have
:22:13. > :22:21.played really well. It has been a terrific game. Yes, Natalie got the
:22:22. > :22:26.opening goal but Swansea equalised and Wilfried Bony is causing all
:22:27. > :22:34.sorts of problems. There are more goals in this. We have just seen a
:22:35. > :22:40.Swansea goal again. Garry Monk is a man with a lot on his mind at the
:22:41. > :22:43.moment. A huge night for the club. His fiancee is due to have twins at

:22:50. > :22:56.talking to him about it as we travelled over and he said, she
:22:57. > :23:03.understands that the job he has to do... I think they are due on
:23:04. > :23:09.Tuesday but if we are nervous now, imagine what it will be like in 45
