Good evening. A teacher who was understood to have been the intended | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
target of an alleged murder plot by two pupils has praised her school's | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
handling of the incident. Police were called to Cwmcarn High school | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
on Thursday after concerns were raised about the behaviour of two | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
girls. The 15-year-old from Newbridge and a 14-year old-girl | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
from Risca were arrested and bailed. The teacher at the centre of an | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
alleged murder plot. Alison Cray has been teaching maths at Cwmcarn High | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
School for more than ten years. Today she praised the school for the | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
way they have dealt with the incident. In a statement, she said, | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
"I know very little about it. It all happened elsewhere and I wasn't | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
directly involved at all. I'm very lucky that I'm at Cwmcarn and that | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
they have handled it so well. I've been working as normal and I'm | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
fine." Police were called to the high school just before lunchtime on | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Thursday following concerns of the behaviour of two pupils. The girls, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
aged 14 and 15, were arrested and questioned over a suspected knife | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
plot. The older girl was held for possession of a bladed article. It | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
comes just days after teacher Ann Maguire died following a classroom | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
stabbing at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds. Nobody was harmed | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
as a result of the incident at Cwmcarn High School. The two teenage | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
girls have since been released on bail. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Firefighters in Wales are currently in the middle of their latest | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
walk-out in a row over pensions. Some members of the Fire Brigades | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Union joined other organisations on a march in Cardiff to mark | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
International Workers Day. The UK government plans to raise | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
firefighters' retirement age from 55 to 60 and increase pension | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
contributions. They say firefighters had one of the most generous pension | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
schemes in the public sector. No firefighter in Great Britain | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
wants to walk out of the doors, that is how professional we are. I think | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
we have to make some sacrifices but we are an emergency service, we are | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
there to protect the public, and the conditions that have been put to us | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
are unworkable. No firefighter can work until they are 60 years of age | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
and provide a good service. Head teachers have called for an | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
independent exams watchdog to be set up in Wales with immediate effect. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
They want the introduction of a Welsh government bill leading to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Wales having a neutral judge to adjudicate in any dispute over | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
standards such as the fall in grades for early GCSE English papers this | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
year. It is being discussed at the National Association of Head | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Teachers UK's annual conference in Birmingham this weekend. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Football, and Cardiff City have been relegated from the Premier League. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
The Bluebirds were beaten 3-0 at Newcastle today. The result leaves | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
them bottom of the table, five points from safety with just one | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
match left to play this season. Cardiff's stay in the top flight | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
comes to end after just one season. These lads, with the attitude and | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
the effort they put in, did not deserve to lose the game. The | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
attitude and atmosphere in there is now a disappointment but they are a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
fantastic bunch of players who gave everything for the cause and it just | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
was not good enough. Swansea City, who secured their | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Premier League status last week, were beaten 1-0 at home by | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Southampton. Rickie Lambert was credited with the goal which came | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
with almost the last kick of the match. In League Two, Newport County | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
beat Rochdale 2-1 at home. It means County finish the season in 14th | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
place. The New Saints have added the Welsh | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Cup to their Welsh Premier title. They came back from behind to beat | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Aberystwyth 3-2 at the Racecourse in Wrexham. Mike Wilde scored the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
winning goal with just four minutes to go. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Rugby, and former Wales captain Matthew Rees is captaining the | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Cardiff Blues for the first time following his break from the game | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
for testicular cancer treatment. The Blues are at Connacht in the Pro 12. | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
A full check on the weather now. Here's Owain Wyn Evans. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
We have had an east, west divide across Wales today. The eastern | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
parts have enjoyed the best of any brightness. Further west, where it | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
is cloudy, we will see some light rain and drizzle. Mainly in parts of | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Ceredigion. Tomorrow morning, that rain will continue, light and patchy | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
across North Wales and mid Wales. Try to the south. A top temperature | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
tomorrow of 14 Celsius. This is the pressure chart. High-pressure moving | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
away, no pressure approaching from the West. That will make things a | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
bit more unsettled. That's the latest in Wales Today. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
We're back tomorrow at 6.50pm. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Goodbye. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Good evening. It was a cold, even frosty start to the Bank Holiday | :05:07. | :05:18. | |
weekend but for most of us day one of three has been dry. We are going | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
to see changes, the first of those changes spilling across Scotland and | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Northern Ireland as outbreaks | :05:26. | :05:26. |
