There is more throughout the evening on bids the BBC

:00:00.:00:12.

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.
