to you. There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. I'm

:00:00.:00:12.

Good evening. A UK Government minister is calling

:00:13.:00:16.

for the Electoral Commission to face a "full investigation". It follows

:00:17.:00:20.

its decision to allow a far-right political party to use the name of

:00:21.:00:23.

the murdered soldier, Lee Rigby, on Welsh ballot papers. The watchdog

:00:24.:00:28.

has apologised for letting Britain First use the description "Remember

:00:29.:00:31.

Lee Rigby" on voting slips for next month's European election. Here's

:00:32.:00:38.

our political reporter, James Williams.

:00:39.:00:45.

Fusilier Lee Rigby was murdered in broad daylight on the streets of

:00:46.:00:50.

London. Returning to his barracks last May, the soldier was stabbed to

:00:51.:00:55.

death by Michael Adebolajo and another man in what the judge called

:00:56.:00:59.

a barbaric incident as he sentenced both to life in prison. The

:01:00.:01:03.

anniversary of the crime falls amid the big European elections, and

:01:04.:01:07.

Welsh voting slips will include an option for the far-right political

:01:08.:01:11.

party, The headlines: two, alongside its slogan, Tim Mack one. Founded by

:01:12.:01:22.

former members of the BNP, the party had its slogan and Ashley --

:01:23.:01:30.

initially confirmed by the Electoral Commission. The chairman of the

:01:31.:01:37.

Electoral Commission said the slogan should never have been permitted and

:01:38.:01:39.

went on to say that although it would be used in other elections,

:01:40.:01:45.

they could not change the ballot papers for next month's European

:01:46.:01:51.

elections. Before then, The Cabinet Office minister in the Westminster

:01:52.:01:54.

Government hopes for a full investigation. He made his call in a

:01:55.:01:58.

letter sent to the Speaker of the House of Commons in which he said he

:01:59.:02:01.

hopes steps will be taken to prevent such a mistake happening again.

:02:02.:02:04.

People in Wrexham have gathered to protest against the closure of a

:02:05.:02:10.

leisure centre. The Plas Madoc Centre is closing tonight and will

:02:11.:02:13.

be demolished in October unless campaigners can find a way of

:02:14.:02:16.

reopening it. The council decided to close it, despite local opposition,

:02:17.:02:19.

to save money. Campaigners want to take it over and run it as a social

:02:20.:02:22.

enterprise. An island off Pembrokeshire is

:02:23.:02:24.

celebrating reclaiming its status as an official bird observatory.

:02:25.:02:29.

Skokholm Island was the first in Britain to be established in 1933.

:02:30.:02:34.

But the research, and ringing of birds, came to an end in 1976. Now

:02:35.:02:39.

it's been reopened as an official bird observatory, nearly 40 years

:02:40.:02:41.

on. Football, and a 10-man Cardiff City

:02:42.:02:45.

have been hammered 4-0 by fellow strugglers Sunderland at the Stadium

:02:46.:02:52.

of Light. The result leaves the Bluebirds bottom of the Premier

:02:53.:02:55.

League, with just two matches remaining. Here's Matt Murray.

:02:56.:02:58.

If Sunderland fans were daring to dream, it was going to be a

:02:59.:03:01.

nightmare for the travelling supporters. Cardiff were poor and an

:03:02.:03:04.

on-form Connor Wickham opened the scoring for the home side. Cardiff

:03:05.:03:08.

looked Championship-bound when Juan Cala was sent off for this. Trying

:03:09.:03:12.

to hold back Connor Wickham, even though it looked to have happened

:03:13.:03:16.

just outside the box. Fabio Borini scored from the spot to make it 2-0.

:03:17.:03:21.

Cardiff had very few chances, but they nearly pulled one back with a

:03:22.:03:25.

Peter Whittingham free-kick. But it was well saved by a keeper who had

:03:26.:03:29.

been a spectator for most of the match. The home side pushed Ole

:03:30.:03:32.

Gunnar Solskjaer's men to the brink of relegation when the third came.

:03:33.:03:38.

Sunderland completed the visitors' miserable day four minutes from time

:03:39.:03:41.

when Wickham netted his second of the day and his fifth goal in three

:03:42.:03:50.

games. It is one of these places you do not

:03:51.:03:53.

like to be when you are a manager. Does not matter how you lose the

:03:54.:03:58.

game, you're disappointed. Especially when it is against a team

:03:59.:04:04.

like Sunderland. Now we give them a great opportunity and give ourselves

:04:05.:04:06.

a mountain to climb. But we have to start climbing.

:04:07.:04:10.

Climbing mountains might be too much to ask for a side which has

:04:11.:04:14.

struggled with the heights of the Premier League.

:04:15.:04:16.

Better fortunes for Ryan Giggs in his first match in charge of

:04:17.:04:19.

Manchester United. He took over as caretaker manager after David Moyes'

:04:20.:04:22.

sacking in the week and enjoyed a 4-0 win over Nowrwich City on his

:04:23.:04:27.

managerial debut. In the World Championship Snooker at

:04:28.:04:31.

the Crucible in Sheffield, two Welsh men have been in action this

:04:32.:04:34.

afternoon. Dominic Dale is currently 12-4 up over Michael Wasley. That

:04:35.:04:37.

match continues tomorrow, as does Ryan Day against Judd Trump. Day is

:04:38.:04:44.

currently trailing by 10-6. Cricket, and Glamorgan have been in

:04:45.:04:47.

action against Leicestershire in the County Championship. It's the first

:04:48.:04:51.

day, and when rain stopped play, Leicestershire were 221-4.

:04:52.:04:57.

Let's get the weather forecast now, with Sue Charles.

:04:58.:05:04.

After a weekend of bright spells and heavy downpours, and unsettled start

:05:05.:05:08.

of the week. Sunshine and showers and turning colder by the end of it.

:05:09.:05:13.

This evening, showers eventually easing to leave many places dry

:05:14.:05:17.

overnight. Remaining largely cloudy with mist and four patch is

:05:18.:05:20.

developing by dawn, but the cloud. The temperatures. Overnight lows of

:05:21.:05:28.

7-9 Celsius. Tomorrow, a misty and Marty start with being able cloud.

:05:29.:05:32.

Sunny spells and showers fewer than today, although some could be heavy

:05:33.:05:34.

and slow moving because winds alight. Not much rugby is, feeling

:05:35.:05:40.

pleasant in the sunshine but Markey for the Irish coast. Highs of 13

:05:41.:05:44.

Celsius in Pembrokeshire, 15 in Flintshire. It will be cloudy at

:05:45.:05:50.

times and temperatures in the mid teens on Tuesday. The next couple of

:05:51.:05:55.

days remain unsettled. Dry spells and scattered showers, but colder

:05:56.:05:58.

and drier end to the week. That's Wales Today. I'll be back

:05:59.:06:01.

with our next update just after quarter past ten. Enjoy your

:06:02.:06:02.

evening. Goodbye. Good evening. After an unsettled

:06:03.:06:14.

weekend, the same culprit will be staying with us through the early

:06:15.:06:18.

part of the new week. No pressure is set to continue producing a fair

:06:19.:06:21.

number of showers
