nearing the end of our deployment in Afganistan. It would appear it

wasn't the result of hostile action. But, nevertheless, a huge tradgedy

:00:00.:00:00.

for their families. Stephen Brookes was nearly six times

:00:00.:00:19.

over the drink-drive limit after downing a bottle of vodka in an

:00:20.:00:22.

internet drinking game, an inquest has heard.

Keeping our personal information safe - a US cyber security company

:00:28.:00:30.

is to open its European HQ in Cardiff and a UK data centre in

:00:31.:00:34.

Newport. On the loose - as many as 40 wild

:00:35.:00:38.

boar roaming near Maesteg. Tonight, we'll be on the trail.

:00:39.:00:44.

Cardiff's top flight status hangs by a thread - now

:00:45.:00:56.

Good evening. As friends pay tribute tonight to

:00:57.:01:01.

the Welsh servicemen killed in Afghanistan at the weekend, the

:01:02.:01:04.

Welsh Secretary has said the helicopter crash which killed them

:01:05.:01:07.

was probably not caused by hostile action, but a terrible tragedy.

:01:08.:01:09.

Captain Tom Clarke, from Cowbridge, and Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas,

:01:10.:01:12.

from Brecon, died along with three of their colleagues. Caroline Evans

:01:13.:01:29.

reports. 26-year-old Lance Corporal Oliver

:01:30.:01:33.

Thomas and 30-year-old captain Tom Clarke, who was one of the pilots.

:01:34.:01:38.

Gary Rees, whose son was a close friend, told me the terrible news of

:01:39.:01:43.

the death of Tom Clarke has not yet sunk in. He is almost like a third

:01:44.:01:49.

son to us, really. He was such a bright, big, very friendly, outgoing

:01:50.:01:58.

young chap. Everybody loved him because he was such a laugh. Not

:01:59.:02:06.

only that, he was highly intelligent and great to be with, great to have

:02:07.:02:11.

around. Together with his son, he was a keen rugby player. Richard

:02:12.:02:18.

Kilty, who coached him here, says he was a respectful young man,

:02:19.:02:23.

confident with the carrot clearly destined for the career path you

:02:24.:02:29.

choose. We are all devastated by the loss of Tom. I don't think we can

:02:30.:02:34.

take it in. I know all of his family, his wife, parents, brother,

:02:35.:02:40.

they are devastated. For my part, I can say that it has been a great

:02:41.:02:47.

privilege to have met him. He was the most remarkable young man. Lance

:02:48.:02:52.

Corporal Oliver Thomas was part of the Army reserves, which he joined

:02:53.:02:57.

in 2011. He had previously worked as a researcher for the local MP, Roger

:02:58.:03:04.

Williams. He was very keen to take the opportunity to have a deployment

:03:05.:03:08.

abroad. He had done some training abroad, but this was his first

:03:09.:03:14.

real-time with a full-time army. He was very well valued in Afghanistan

:03:15.:03:21.

with the working was doing. Where he was head boy of his school, he is

:03:22.:03:26.

remembered with affection. It was an elected post by the teaching staff

:03:27.:03:30.

and students. It reflect all the things that he did for the school,

:03:31.:03:41.

his sport, and he took part in several events. The Lynx helicopter

:03:42.:03:47.

went down near the border with Pakistan. It is the first fatal

:03:48.:03:55.

accident of the Afghan conflict involving a British helicopter. A

:03:56.:04:03.

great loss, especially as we are nearing the end of our deployment in

:04:04.:04:07.

Afganistan. It would appear it wasn't the result of hostile action.

:04:08.:04:10.

But, nevertheless, a huge tradgedy for their families. There are deaths

take the number of British personnel killed in the conflict up to 453.

:04:13.:04:22.

The family of a man who took part in the internet drinking game

:04:23.:04:25.

Neknominate has warned of its dangers. An inquest has heard that

:04:26.:04:28.

29-year-old Stephen Brookes' died in February this year, after downing

:04:29.:04:31.

three-quarters of a bottle of Vodka and taking cocaine. Matt Murray

:04:32.:04:35.

reports. Stephen Brookes died after attending a house party in the

:04:36.:04:38.

Trowbridge area of Cardiff. Before leaving that party, he took

:04:39.:04:41.

part in the internet drinking game Neknominate. Today, his family left

:04:42.:04:44.

Cardiff Coroners' Court devastated by the news that the 29-year-old had

:04:45.:04:47.

consumed vast amounts of alcohol and drugs before his death, but believe

:04:48.:04:51.

it was the online drinking game that killed him. He touched everybody's

:04:52.:05:03.

hard. The drinking had obviously got out of hand and it caused his death.

:05:04.:05:09.

The young ones need to be aware that drinking can wreck lives. Would he

:05:10.:05:18.

still be here if he wasn't playing this game? Yes, he would. The

:05:19.:05:23.

inquest heard from family and friends of Stephen Brookes. They say

:05:24.:05:29.

he attended a house party. He started drinking heavily at the

:05:30.:05:35.

party and taking cocaine. It was about 12 pounds macro littered the

:05:36.:05:39.

future part in the Neknominate game. It is believed he died three

:05:40.:05:44.

quarters of a bottle of vodka. One friend said he seemed to him to the

:05:45.:05:47.

bottle in a matter of seconds. Within the hour, Stephen had died.

:05:48.:05:50.

Pathologist reports revealed that his alcohol blood level was six

:05:51.:05:54.

times over the drink drive limit. This year, Neknomination has been an

:05:55.:05:57.

internet drinking craze. It involves people filming themselves downing a

:05:58.:06:00.

drink, posting a video on social media sites then nominating someone

:06:01.:06:06.

to do the same. Today, the coroner concluded that Stephen Brookes died

:06:07.:06:09.

from acute alcohol poisoning and cocaine use. The head of the

:06:10.:06:16.

Electoral Commission in Wales says she is sorry after the name of a

:06:17.:06:20.

murdered soldier was used to promote a far-right political party. Britain

papers in Wales for the European elections next month. Kay Jenkins

:06:26.:06:28.

told Assembly Members it should never have been allowed. The

:06:29.:06:40.

commission very sincerely apologises for the registration of the

:06:41.:06:48.

description remember wiki -- remember Lee Rigby. Our chair has

:06:49.:06:54.

apologised to his family for the offence caused.

:06:55.:06:57.

Two South Wales Police officers have been jailed for stealing, after they

:06:58.:07:00.

were caught in an undercover operation by their own force.

:07:01.:07:03.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Phillips was sentenced to 22 weeks after

:07:04.:07:06.

taking ?250 from a fake crime scene. Detective Constable Jason Evans was

:07:07.:07:10.

jailed for 12 weeks after he was filmed stealing two pens. Both men

:07:11.:07:16.

pleaded guilty to theft. Rescuers have been describing the

:07:17.:07:18.

scenes underground in the hours after the Gleision mine explosion

:07:19.:07:23.

which killed four men in 2011. The jury was told that the area the men

:07:24.:07:27.

were working in was completely flooded to the roof, and it was only

:07:28.:07:31.

the next day when the water had been pumped out that the bodies could be

:07:32.:07:34.

recovered. Manager Malcolm Fyfield and the mine's owners, MNS, deny

headquarters. Alert Logic received almost ?1.2 million from the Welsh

Government to come to Wales. Here's our business correspondent, Brian

:07:54.:08:07.

Meechan. There is a constant battle going on

:08:08.:08:11.

between those who are trying to steal our information online, and

:08:12.:08:14.

those trying to stop them. Many of us protect her details with various

bits of software, the companies are increasingly keeping their

:08:24.:08:33.

skilled personnel in the region, high-quality companies. It is a key

:08:34.:08:39.

industry for us to keep our eye on. The security company Alert Logic

:08:40.:08:43.

will have its facility here, but the jobs will be going further down the

:08:44.:08:48.

M4. They will base their operations here in the Enterprise Zone in

Cardiff. It received more than ?1 million from the Welsh Government to

bring its European headquarters to the capital. The company says it

:08:57.:09:01.

choose carp -- Cardiff because of its close proximity to London and

:09:02.:09:04.

its transport links, a skilled workforce and because the local

:09:05.:09:09.

universities have an expertise in online security. As we speak, we are

:09:10.:09:16.

in the process of building the centre in Newport. The office based

:09:17.:09:23.

in Cardiff has been secured. We would expect to start staffing in

:09:24.:09:29.

September. It comes as news emerges that another American -based company

:09:30.:09:35.

is no longer planning on making Cardiff its European headquarters.

:09:36.:09:37.

It was announced that the company will be setting up here two years

:09:38.:09:44.

ago, with 50 jobs. The economy minister says attracting Alert Logic

:09:45.:09:48.

was more than just the money offered by the government. Our financial

:09:49.:09:54.

package was the same as one that might have been offered elsewhere.

:09:55.:09:57.

We could offer a good skills package. What they liked was the

:09:58.:10:02.

fact they could get all the people they required for it. It was a good

:10:20.:10:24.

Cardiff's top flight status hangs by a thread. They are favourites for

:10:25.:10:39.

relegation. The chairman of National Dance

:10:40.:10:42.

Company Wales should step down - that's the call tonight from one of

:10:43.:10:45.

its former board members after a confidential report criticised the

:10:46.:10:48.

way the organisation is run. Andrew Davies, who's a former Welsh

:10:49.:10:51.

Government Minister, insists he was right to remain in his post and will

:10:52.:10:55.

only resign once he's overseen the restructuring of the company. Our

:10:56.:10:57.

arts and media correspondent Huw Thomas reports.

:10:58.:11:06.

National Dance Company Wales has an international reputation for

:11:07.:11:08.

producing good-quality contemporary dance. It has been a national

:11:09.:11:12.

company for five years, having previously been known as diversions

:11:13.:11:18.

for more than two decades. In 2013 the company was rocked by events

:11:19.:11:22.

that have remained largely secret, and which forced the resignation of

:11:23.:11:26.

senior managers and board members. The documents I have seen percent ad

:11:27.:11:32.

damning account of life at National Dance Company Wales. There was not

:11:33.:11:36.

just hostility, but a total breakdown in the working

:11:37.:11:39.

relationship between the people who were supposed to be running the

:11:40.:11:43.

company. The report was commissioned by the arts Council of Wales, the

:11:44.:11:46.

main source of funding for the company, giving it ?175,000 last

:11:47.:11:54.

year. There was a crisis in the governance of the company, a

:11:55.:11:57.

situation that was unsustainable. The relationship between the

:11:58.:12:02.

artistic vector enter deputy had disintegrated. This, the report

:12:03.:12:07.

said, was untenable. There was a proud and patient of the board of

:12:08.:12:09.

directors and a collective failure to hold proper meetings. The

:12:10.:12:15.

chairman, Andrew Davies, remained. I think it is time for Andrew Davies

:12:16.:12:20.

to go. As much as the arts Council might have thought it was the best

:12:21.:12:26.

solution to have him provide some stability, the company by them was

:12:27.:12:32.

already completely destabilised. The confidential report did allow for

:12:33.:12:36.

the chair to remain until a new board was in place, something it

:12:37.:12:39.

said should have happened by January this year. Andrew Davies has

:12:40.:12:47.

defended his decision to stay. I absolutely reject any accusation

:12:48.:12:52.

that my stewardship was wrong. Of that was the case, the arts Council

:12:53.:12:56.

would not be asking you to take more the restructuring of the company.

:12:57.:13:01.

They have confidence in me and existing members of the board. We

:13:02.:13:04.

will be appointing members of the board in due course on a very

:13:05.:13:10.

transparent basis. The performances continue on stage, but

:13:11.:13:13.

behind-the-scenes work has already begun to improve the way the has

:13:14.:13:21.

begun. -- improve the way the work has

:13:22.:13:26.

begun. Work has begun to mothball Plas

:13:27.:13:29.

Madoc Leisure centre in Wrexham after the council decided it could

:13:30.:13:33.

no longer afford to run it. It will be demolished in October, unless a

:13:34.:13:37.

community group is able to take over the management of the centre.

:13:38.:13:39.

The Conservatives have restored the party whip to Nigel Evans, after the

:13:40.:13:43.

Swansea-born MP was cleared of committing a series of sexual

:13:44.:13:46.

offences. Mr Evans had stepped down as the Commons deputy speaker before

:13:47.:13:48.

his trial. Who will you vote for in European

:13:49.:13:50.

elections next month? The parties have begun to set out

:13:51.:13:54.

their stalls to woo the voters. Today it was Plaid Cymru and the

:13:55.:13:57.

Conservatives making their pitch for your support come May. First, Nick

:13:58.:14:01.

Servini spent the day with the Conservatives, who say they are the

:14:02.:14:04.

only party that can deliver reform of the EU.

:14:05.:14:08.

Cutting away at red tape, you wouldn't have thought that European

:14:09.:14:14.

Union rules have much to do with hairdressers, but the Conservatives

:14:15.:14:20.

say they do. It is a challenge for all politicians to make the European

:14:21.:14:24.

elections relevant to the kind of thing is a challenge for all

:14:25.:14:26.

politicians to make the European elections relevant to the kind of

:14:27.:14:28.

things that people do Conservatives tried to do that today by pointing

:14:29.:14:32.

at their work in Brussels block on what they called was a meddlesome

:14:33.:14:35.

postal called the hairdressing initiative. The point being that

:14:36.:14:41.

reducing bureaucracy will be a big theme for the Conservatives over the

:14:42.:14:45.

coming weeks. It is a message these campaigners are trying to get

:14:46.:14:50.

across. On the doorstep, they claim to be reflecting the views of many

:14:51.:14:55.

people who don't want to leave the EU, but have major issues about the

:14:56.:15:03.

way it is run. The Conservatives are looking to repeat their success five

:15:04.:15:07.

years ago when they topped the European election poll in Wales. At

:15:08.:15:12.

a low-key launch in Cardiff, the parties efforts were all focused on

:15:13.:15:17.

getting their lead candidate re-elected. Privately, they admit

:15:18.:15:20.

things will be different to five years ago. They are in government in

:15:21.:15:25.

Westminster, for a start, and have to face the growing threat from

:15:26.:15:31.

you. People understand that the European Union is not working the

:15:32.:15:35.

way they wanted to. They feel they want to stay, but only if there is

:15:36.:15:39.

change. We are the only party reflecting that we are prepared to

:15:40.:15:43.

change Europe for the better. Many conservatives believe that if they

:15:44.:15:46.

can get their vote out extra month, they can hold on to their one Welsh

:15:47.:15:51.

MEP. The polls suggest that could be easier said than done. Plaid Cymru

:15:52.:15:55.

is calling for doctors and university lecturers from other EU

:15:56.:15:58.

countries to be encouraged to work here.

:15:59.:16:00.

But will it's message, that we're better off in Europe, help the party

:16:01.:16:03.

come polling day? Daniel Davies reports.

:16:04.:16:08.

More than the sum of its parts. Plaid Cymru might say the same about

:16:09.:16:11.

the EU. It launched its European manifesto at a car parts factory

:16:12.:16:14.

near Ammanford. From creating jobs to cutting the cost of using a

:16:15.:16:18.

mobile phone abroad, Plaid Cymru says Wales benefits from the EU.

:16:19.:16:26.

Plaid Cymru is on relatively safe ground in this part of

:16:27.:16:33.

Carmarthenshire. The local AM and MP are Plaid politicians, so it is

:16:34.:16:37.

exactly the sort of place where the party knows it needs to get out its

:16:38.:16:41.

core support on polling day to have any chance of keeping its seat in

:16:42.:16:45.

the European Parliament. Plaid says it isn't opposed to a referendum on

:16:46.:16:49.

the UK membership of the EU, but it says leaving the union would

:16:50.:16:55.

threaten foreign investment. This Japanese-owned factory employs 100

:16:56.:16:58.

people and exports locks for car doors throughout Europe. For Plaid,

:16:59.:17:02.

it is a sign of how much Wales needs the EU. What is at stake here is the

:17:03.:17:07.

future of Wales in Europe and Wales' future as a strong economy and an

:17:08.:17:10.

independent nation. That is why people need to come out and vote for

:17:11.:17:14.

that, to keep Wales' voice in Europe. Jill Evans has been an MEP

:17:15.:17:21.

for 15 years, but opinion polls suggest that she will struggle to

:17:22.:17:26.

get re-elected. We are working very hard on the campaign. There have

:17:27.:17:30.

been opinion polls in the past that have been wrong. I don't dismiss the

:17:31.:17:33.

polls. We know it is a difficult election, but we are fighting very

:17:34.:17:38.

hard and getting a lot of support. Where there are skills shortages,

:17:39.:17:41.

Plaid says we should recruit from across the EU. It says the Welsh

:17:42.:17:44.

Government should target doctors to come and work in the NHS, for

:17:45.:17:47.

example. Plaid Cymru hopes it's a message about the benefits of EU

:17:48.:17:51.

membership that will help it recruit more voters like this next month.

:17:52.:17:59.

Around 40 wild boar are on the loose this evening after they were

:18:00.:18:02.

released from a farm near Maesteg during a burglary. Six people have

:18:03.:18:05.

been arrested. Police are still looking for the animals tonight. Our

:18:06.:18:09.

reporter Kate Morgan is in the village of Llangynwyd for us. Kate,

:18:10.:18:13.

what should people do if they see them? Firstly, police want people

:18:14.:18:21.

know that while these boars are not an immediate threat, but, if you see

:18:22.:18:29.

them, do not approach them. You should be able to see some footage

:18:30.:18:33.

now. These are still on the farm tonight, but, as you can see,

:18:34.:18:38.

they're quite heavy animals. They're known to charge and, of course, at

:18:39.:18:41.

the moment they're disorientated and confused as they're not used to

:18:42.:18:48.

being out of their pens. If you do see one, take care, again don't

:18:49.:18:53.

approach it. Instead, the police say get in touch on 101. It's worth

:18:54.:18:57.

noting that the farmer who keeps them here in this village holds a

:18:58.:19:01.

licence to do so - the same one used to keep lions and tigers - and has

:19:02.:19:05.

the correct fencing to stop them from escaping. But his farm was

:19:06.:19:08.

burgled last night. A large steel shutter was prized open and the wire

:19:09.:19:13.

fence was cut. So is there any idea where the animals might be? Well,

:19:14.:19:16.

it's very difficult to know. It's been more than 24 hours and in a day

:19:17.:19:21.

wild boars can travel up to 30 miles looking for food, so they might not

:19:22.:19:25.

be in this area any more. They're usually nocturnal, but forage in the

:19:26.:19:28.

early morning or late afternoon or evening. South Wales Police have a

:19:29.:19:33.

Wildlife and Environmental Crime Officer here trying to find out

:19:34.:19:37.

more, and Bridgend Council are also helping too. Six people have been

:19:38.:19:40.

arrested in connection with the incident. They're still in custody

:19:41.:19:43.

while officers find out more information. But what they want

:19:44.:19:47.

people to know is that if you do see a wild boar, don't approach it. Let

:19:48.:19:54.

them know on 101. Tonight's sport now.

:19:55.:20:00.

Here's Ashleigh. Good evening. Manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer says

:20:01.:20:03.

Cardiff can still stay in the Premier League, despite being

:20:04.:20:05.

bottom, with only two games left to play. The Bluebirds' top flight

:20:06.:20:09.

status is hanging by a thread after a 4-0 thrashing at Sunderland. But

:20:10.:20:12.

Swansea City can start planning for next season, after they lifted

:20:13.:20:15.

themselves out of danger with another impressive win.

:20:16.:20:18.

The face said it all. Cardiff City need a great escape of Steve McQueen

:20:19.:20:22.

proportions to still be a Premier League club next season. Sunderland

:20:23.:20:24.

gratefully swapped places with Cardiff at the bottom of the table

:20:25.:20:28.

after a dominant display against their relegation rivals. The

:20:29.:20:32.

Bluebirds' cause not helped by Juan Cala being sent off just before

:20:33.:20:36.

half-time. The third and fourth goals felt like nails being knocked

:20:37.:20:40.

into the coffin of an awful season. It is hard to see how Cardiff can

:20:41.:20:44.

bring their campaign back to life from here, although mathematically

:20:45.:20:45.

it can still be done. But sitting bottom of the table,

:20:46.:20:52.

with only Newcastle and Chelsea left to play, the odds are stacked

:20:53.:20:55.

against them. We start working again. You have got to prepare.

:20:56.:20:59.

There are two weeks left of the season and we have to find a way of

:21:00.:21:03.

getting that mentality that we can still do this, and we can.

:21:04.:21:08.

At the Cardiff City Stadium, there's evidence that owner Vincent Tan

:21:09.:21:11.

believes the club does still have a big future. Work is underway to

:21:12.:21:15.

expand the capacity to more than 30,000. But many fans are worried

:21:16.:21:19.

they will not be able to fill it now they are staring relegation in the

:21:20.:21:23.

face. The way things are going, if Vincent Tan walks away, we are

:21:24.:21:26.

financially stuffed. That is a simple fact. If we get relegated,

:21:27.:21:29.

which we will, everything changes for the club. The club is not the

:21:30.:21:35.

same any more with the red kit, the new badge, we will lose fans and

:21:36.:21:38.

lose the appeal we had before. Swansea can relax and enjoy their

:21:39.:21:42.

last two games. They scored four against Aston Villa, including one

:21:43.:21:46.

of the goals of the season. COMMENTATOR: Jonjo Shelvey!

:21:47.:21:50.

A moment of inspiration that lifted Swansea clear of relegation,

:21:51.:21:53.

guaranteeing them a fourth season in the Premier League. The only

:21:54.:21:56.

question now, who will be manager? Caretaker boss Garry Monk still

:21:57.:21:59.

waiting to find out if he can keep the job. Obviously, I have to go and

:22:00.:22:03.

speak to the chairman, see what he wants to do with the future of the

:22:04.:22:08.

club and I'll sit down with them and, I guess, we'll go from there.

:22:09.:22:11.

But I can't say that right now because I haven't spoke to him.

:22:12.:22:16.

Swansea's last home match is next Saturday against Southampton, before

:22:17.:22:20.

ending the campaign at Sunderland. Wales' Dominic Dale is through to

:22:21.:22:23.

the quarterfinals of the World Snooker Championships for the first

:22:24.:22:27.

time since 1999. The World Number 24 only needed one more frame this

:22:28.:22:31.

afternoon to wrap up a 13-4 victory over Michael Wasley. He'll now play

:22:32.:22:36.

Barry Hawkins. In the next hour, Ryan Day from Pontycymmer will

:22:37.:22:39.

resume his second round match with Judd Trump, 10-6 behind.

:22:40.:22:42.

In cricket, Glamorgan's bowlers have had a tough day at Leicester without

:22:43.:22:46.

leading pacemman Michael Hogan. The home side finished exactly 500 all

:22:47.:22:47.

out. But Glamorgan's reply has started

:22:48.:22:55.

well. South African star Jacques Rudolph is not out.

:22:56.:22:58.

Probably a better day for snooker than cricket today, as far as the

:22:59.:23:02.

weather is concerned! Derek is here now with the forecast.

:23:03.:23:08.

Some lovely sunshine today, but not everywhere stayed dry. A few showers

:23:09.:23:11.

broke out this afternoon. Heavy downpours in parts of the south and

:23:12.:23:15.

west. Looking ahead, there is more dry weather to come tomorrow. Just

:23:16.:23:18.

the odd shower here and there. Mind you, it won't stay dry all week and

:23:19.:23:23.

we haven't the last of the frost! This evening showers will slowly

:23:24.:23:25.

fade away. Overnight generally dry, with a few mist and fog patches

:23:26.:23:29.

forming. Some sea fog in the Irish Sea and Cardigan Bay.

:23:30.:23:37.

Here's the picture for the morning. Bright in places but grey in others

:23:38.:23:41.

with low cloud, a few mist and fog patches. Sea fog in the Irish Sea

:23:42.:23:45.

will roll onto parts of the west coast with poor visibility but

:23:46.:23:48.

generally dry. During the day, most places will brighten-up with sunny

:23:49.:23:51.

spells. One or two showers will break out later in the afternoon.

:23:52.:23:54.

Not as heavy as today, though, with a lot of places staying dry. Top

:23:55.:23:58.

temperatures of 17 Celsius, with a light breeze. Cooler on parts of the

:23:59.:24:02.

north and west coast with a risk of sea fog. Any fog first thing will

:24:03.:24:18.

soon lift. Leaving sunny spells. Maybe a shower late afternoon

:24:19.:24:21.

otherwise dry. Tomorrow evening any isolated showers will die away to

:24:22.:24:25.

leave a dry night. A few mist and fog patches forming inland. Some

:24:26.:24:28.

patches of sea fog as well. On Wednesday mist and fog patches will

:24:29.:24:32.

lift. Some dry, bright weather but a few sharp showers will break out

:24:33.:24:35.

with some rain spreading from the west during the afternoon. Thursday

:24:36.:24:38.

unsettled. Showers or longer spells of rain. Heavy and thundery in

:24:39.:24:41.

places. A few brighter spells as well with a drier evening. Later in

:24:42.:24:44.

the week, it's all change. Friday much drier, but cooler with a

:24:45.:24:47.

north-easterly breeze. The good news, it looks like the weekend high

:24:48.:24:51.

pressure is on the way for the weekend bringing mainly dry weather,

:24:52.:24:54.

but the nights cold with frost a hazard for gardeners and growers.

:24:55.:25:02.

The headlines: A teacher has died after being repeatedly stabbed at a

:25:03.:25:06.

school in Leeds. Pupils raised the alarm and 15 draw boy was detained

:25:07.:25:10.

by other teachers. He has been arrested. Tributes are being paid to

:25:11.:25:17.

two Welsh soldiers killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

:25:18.:25:23.

Oliver Thomas and Thomas Clark died along with three of their

:25:24.:25:25.

colleagues. I'll have an update for you here at

:25:26.:25:29.

8.00pm and again after the BBC News at Ten. That's Wales Today. Thank

:25:30.:25:34.

you for watching. From all of us on the programme, good evening.
