The family of a man murdered 27 years ago say they're not surprised

:00:19.:00:22.

by possible links between his death and an allegedly corrupt

:00:23.:00:27.

Metropolitan Police officer. Private detective Daniel Morgan was killed

:00:28.:00:31.

with an axe in a pub car park in London in 1987. No-one has been

:00:32.:00:35.

convicted of his murder. The allegation of corruption was

:00:36.:00:38.

revealed as part of a report into the death of teenager Stephen

:00:39.:00:40.

Lawrence.His family believe daniel morgan was on the verge of exposing

:00:41.:00:44.

police corruption when he was murdered.

:00:45.:00:51.

For 27 long years they have fought to uncover the truth behind his

:00:52.:00:57.

murder. Today at her home in Glasbury near hay on wye his sister

:00:58.:01:00.

told me she feels these new revelations bring the family no

:01:01.:01:03.

closer to finding out what really happened. I should be shocked and

:01:04.:01:18.

delighted, but I am not, because it just reiterate all over again the

:01:19.:01:24.

tangled web of Metropolitan Police corruption and why doesn't anybody

:01:25.:01:30.

seen to be able to stamp it out. Daniel Morgan who was 37 was the

:01:31.:01:33.

co-owner of a private investigation firm which employed off duty

:01:34.:01:36.

officers. This reconstruction shows the moment before his death. He'd

:01:37.:01:44.

met a business partner for a drink, not long after his body was found in

:01:45.:01:48.

a nearby car park. He'd been attacked with an axe. Yesterday

:01:49.:01:51.

announcing the findings of a report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence

:01:52.:01:57.

who was killed in 1993. The Home Secretary Teresa May told the

:01:58.:02:00.

commons the review had found possible links an allegedly corrupt

:02:01.:02:08.

officer and both investigations. There are also possible links

:02:09.:02:14.

between a corrupt officer in the Stephen Lawrence case and the

:02:15.:02:16.

investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan. It finds that the

:02:17.:02:23.

Daniel Morgan panel may therefore uncover material relevant to the

:02:24.:02:26.

case of corruption so it is key that the Daniel Morgan panel continues

:02:27.:02:29.

its important work. John Davidson who she named is now retired. Today

:02:30.:02:34.

there was no sign of him at his last known address in Minorca. Daniels

:02:35.:02:46.

mother Isobell met Teresa may in 20ll when the trial of four men

:02:47.:02:50.

charged in connection with Daniel Morgan's murder collapsed. Today his

:02:51.:02:52.

brother said the family will continue to pusue their campaing for

:02:53.:02:56.

justice. My brother 's murder and police corruption involvement in

:02:57.:02:58.

that is as serious as it anything we have seen in the last couple of

:02:59.:03:01.

years and it has been brushed aside for decades. Now, finally, we are

:03:02.:03:07.

hoping there will be some real action. Like the Lawrence family

:03:08.:03:14.

daniel Morgans family have been living through this for more than

:03:15.:03:17.

two decades hi sister says she hopes the report of the latest inuiry by

:03:18.:03:21.

the daniel morgan panel will produce its findings in time for her

:03:22.:03:24.

85-year-old mother to read the outcomce.

:03:25.:03:27.

A judicial review will be held into controversial plans to downgrade

:03:28.:03:29.

Accident and Emergency services at Llanelli's Prince Philip Hospital.

:03:30.:03:33.

Opponents including heart patient Tony Flatley went to Cardiff's High

:03:34.:03:36.

Court to urge a judge to grant a full hearing. They're challenging

:03:37.:03:41.

the way Hywel Dda Health Board carried out the consultation, and

:03:42.:03:44.

the part it played in the decision by the Health Minister. Managers

:03:45.:03:47.

have insisted an overhaul is necessary.

:03:48.:03:53.

The Welsh Government has ordered a review following the unexpectedly

:03:54.:03:56.

low grades for January's new GCSE English Language exams. The man in

:03:57.:04:00.

charge of overseeing the changes to qualifications in Wales says

:04:01.:04:03.

changing tests to make them more rigorous could mean more pupils are

:04:04.:04:10.

disappointed. Employers, universities, all by

:04:11.:04:18.

demanding standards to be increased and standards to be increased within

:04:19.:04:23.

Wales. We are beginning to introduce those changes into the examining

:04:24.:04:28.

system in Wales and it may be a long term downside to it but we need to

:04:29.:04:32.

plan a transition will stop we need to support people during the

:04:33.:04:36.

transition and there needs to be a partnership.

:04:37.:04:39.

A Facebook page set up to help find the murdered five-year-old April

:04:40.:04:42.

Jones has been removed from the social networking site after it was

:04:43.:04:45.

targeted by trolls. Offensive comments and lewd images appeared on

:04:46.:04:49.

the site and Facebook took the page down this afternoon - it's

:04:50.:04:51.

understood the comments breached the company's rules.

:04:52.:04:56.

A man has been charged with the murder of an inmate at Cardiff

:04:57.:04:59.

Prison. 45-year-old Darren Thomas was found in his cell by prison

:05:00.:05:03.

staff in the early hours of yesterday morning. 22-year old Colin

:05:04.:05:08.

Capp, also a prisoner at the jail, has been remanded in custody and

:05:09.:05:11.

will appear at Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

:05:12.:05:14.

Plaid Cymru have opened their Spring conference in Cardiff with an attack

:05:15.:05:18.

on UKIP and eurosceptics. The party's leader Leanne Wood said

:05:19.:05:21.

calls to pull out of the European Union were contrary to Welsh values.

:05:22.:05:25.

It's all part of Plaid Cymru's pitch to voters at the European elections

:05:26.:05:40.

in may. It is the conference season and the

:05:41.:05:44.

political parties are trying out some new moves in a bid to impress

:05:45.:05:47.

the voters. Plaid cameras have been touring wheels this week trying out

:05:48.:05:54.

new policy ideas. One is a ?300 million plan to offer free childcare

:05:55.:05:57.

for three to four-year-olds. The party also says it wants to set up a

:05:58.:06:03.

group of new business people to persuade banks to spend money on

:06:04.:06:06.

Welsh businesses. These apprentices could be the sort of people to

:06:07.:06:11.

benefit. It is all part of setting the scene with a spring conference

:06:12.:06:17.

in Cardiff. Here, Leanne Woods's speech is as much about politics as

:06:18.:06:21.

policy. European elections just ten weeks away, the message is simple.

:06:22.:06:26.

You are pro-European and worried about the rise of UKIP, you should

:06:27.:06:32.

vote for us. A vote for UKIP is a boat against Wales, against the

:06:33.:06:37.

Welsh national interest. We cannot and will not let their ugly politics

:06:38.:06:46.

divide as in May. UKIP reject any suggestion that they are not a Welsh

:06:47.:06:48.

party saying they have the party battle. We need to demonstrate to

:06:49.:06:54.

the people of Wales but the reality will be if UKIP has a successful

:06:55.:06:58.

European election and that prospect is the one that should frighten

:06:59.:07:02.

everybody in Wales. The party hope they can jolt people out of acting

:07:03.:07:07.

UKIP at the ballot box. They hope a good performance will put a spring

:07:08.:07:11.

in their step ahead of Westminster next year.

:07:12.:07:14.

Rugby, and Wales have forced into a late change, two days before their

:07:15.:07:17.

crucial Six Nations clash against England. Lock Luke Charteris has

:07:18.:07:26.

injured his neck in training. He's replaced by Jake Ball. The team need

:07:27.:07:30.

a victory to have any chance of retaining the title.

:07:31.:07:38.

I thought Jake was outstanding. He played against two experienced

:07:39.:07:44.

second rows and he came through with flying colours.

:07:45.:07:47.

And they'll be hoping for a better result than our other Six Nations

:07:48.:07:51.

sides - Wales Under 20s suffered a huge defeat at Kingston Park - they

:07:52.:07:54.

lost 67-7. And the womens side didn't fare much better at the

:07:55.:08:05.

Stoop, losing 35-3. The weather is next.

:08:06.:08:16.

Things are settling down as we go into next week. A cloudy start

:08:17.:08:19.

tomorrow morning but it will become a brighter later. Overnight, it will

:08:20.:08:26.

start to cloud over from the south so we could see some light rain or

:08:27.:08:29.

drizzle and temperatures getting down to three degrees. To have this

:08:30.:08:33.

weather front that is going to sneak in on Sunday, bringing in some rain.

:08:34.:08:38.

Once that clears, high pressure will take charge. Tomorrow morning, a

:08:39.:08:43.

little bit breezy and a cloudy start. It will start to brighten up

:08:44.:08:49.

from the south as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. It

:08:50.:08:55.

is quite windy as well in Scotland but the best of the dry and bright

:08:56.:08:59.

weather the further south you are with highs of 15 degrees in London.

:09:00.:09:05.

Tomorrow afternoon, we can look forward to some sunshine. It is dry

:09:06.:09:08.

and temperatures are in double figures. Some breezy along coastal

:09:09.:09:17.

areas. Tomorrow night, we will see the wind is picking up. Some rain in

:09:18.:09:23.

coastal areas. It will be a mild night with temperatures no lower

:09:24.:09:27.

than six degrees. On Sunday, the best of the brightness the further

:09:28.:09:31.

south and east you are. Further north and west, it is cloudy with

:09:32.:09:38.

some rain. A fairly mild day and once the rain clears on Monday,

:09:39.:09:42.

things will settle down and high pressure is taking charge of

:09:43.:09:44.

temperatures in double figures for most of us. By night, it will be

:09:45.:09:51.

frosty so you will need an extra layer if you're heading out. That's

:09:52.:09:55.

all for now. From all of us here, have a good

:09:56.:09:58.

weekend.
