:00:00.:00:00.

One, Good evening.

:00:00.:00:20.

Hospital chiefs in Pembrokeshire have admitted liability for the

:00:21.:00:24.

death of a patient who waited hours for a life-saving operation.

:00:25.:00:26.

82-year-old Malcolm Green suffered internal bleeding after surgery for

:00:27.:00:29.

bowel cancer, but doctors initially failed to pick up on it.

:00:30.:00:41.

82-year-old Malcolm Green was a well-known and well liked local

:00:42.:00:47.

businessmen. He was awarded the MBE for services to the community one

:00:48.:00:52.

year before his death. Mr Green had gone into Withybush for a routine

:00:53.:00:56.

operation to remove a bowel tumour on the 26th of June 2012. Early the

:00:57.:01:01.

next morning, there were indications something was wrong. His blood

:01:02.:01:06.

pressure had dropped significantly. But it was some hours later that

:01:07.:01:09.

medical staff realised he was bleeding internally. At 10am he was

:01:10.:01:14.

prepped for emergency surgery. But it did not take place until the

:01:15.:01:19.

hours later. His family have fought hard to uncover evidence of the

:01:20.:01:23.

delays he suffered. It is nearly two years ago that dad passed away and

:01:24.:01:28.

it has been a difficult process to get to this stage. But primarily for

:01:29.:01:33.

my mother 's point of view, I hope this is the end of the matter.

:01:34.:01:38.

The coroner did not conclude that Malcolm Green's treatment amounted

:01:39.:01:53.

to neglect, he did say that it was not good. Hospital bosses said more

:01:54.:01:57.

doctors should be available for emergency cases when needed.

:01:58.:02:03.

It is a change in working patterns so they do not have to deal with the

:02:04.:02:07.

many urgent calls as they were having to previously.

:02:08.:02:13.

His family now say they will take on a civil case for damages against the

:02:14.:02:20.

health board. An inquest has heard how a

:02:21.:02:23.

two-year-old boy with autism who drowned in a neighbour's pond after

:02:24.:02:26.

wandering away from home. Harvey Lee Williams was found face down in

:02:27.:02:29.

water at Froncysyllte near Llangollen last December. His family

:02:30.:02:32.

had been in the process of moving house when he disappeared.

:02:33.:02:37.

A new leader of Caerphilly Council has been elected this evening. The

:02:38.:02:40.

ruling Labour Group has chosen Councillor Keith Reynolds - seen

:02:41.:02:43.

here on the right. He replaces Harry Andrews who announced his decision

:02:44.:02:52.

to retire last month. A man from Port Talbot has been

:02:53.:02:55.

jailed for eight weeks for publishing offensive messages online

:02:56.:02:58.

about the death of Leeds school teacher Ann Maguire. Robert Riley

:02:59.:03:00.

was sentenced at Swansea Magistrates' Court where he was told

:03:01.:03:03.

his comments had been hurtful, especially for Mrs Maguire's family

:03:04.:03:10.

and friends. Ann Maguire's tragic death shocked the nation and lead to

:03:11.:03:14.

an outpouring of grief in her local community. But just two days after

:03:15.:03:20.

she was stabbed, a series of offensive messages relating to this

:03:21.:03:24.

is Maguire's death were published online from a computer in Port

:03:25.:03:31.

Talbot. Having already admitted writing the tweets, Robert Riley

:03:32.:03:33.

arrived at Swansea Magistrates' Court today to be sentenced. The

:03:34.:03:38.

court heard Riley sent each week training he would have attacked all

:03:39.:03:42.

the teachers at the school. The magistrates were also told about

:03:43.:03:46.

highly offensive remarks the 42-year-old had posted in the past.

:03:47.:03:51.

Amongst them were comments about Jewish and Muslim people and about

:03:52.:03:54.

9/11 and about the Korean ferry disaster. Bailey's solicitor said

:03:55.:04:00.

his client leads an insular life and is aware his acts where

:04:01.:04:05.

unacceptable. He was sentenced to eight weeks in jail. A 16-year-old

:04:06.:04:14.

boy from Cardiff has been arrested relating to offensive comments. A

:04:15.:04:17.

Leeds man has been charged with the same offence.

:04:18.:04:22.

A head teacher and another member of staff at a school have been

:04:23.:04:25.

suspended, during an investigation by governors and Swansea council.

:04:26.:04:28.

The action was taken after a film was posted on social media sites

:04:29.:04:31.

which appeared to contain the sounds of people having sex coming from a

:04:32.:04:35.

room at Ysgol Gyfun Bryn Tawe. Following a complaint, it's been

:04:36.:04:38.

confirmed the deputy head would be managing the school for the time

:04:39.:04:41.

being. Plans to shut junction 41 of the M4

:04:42.:04:45.

at Port Talbot in a trial to improve traffic flow have been changed.

:04:46.:04:48.

Instead of closing it completely, only the westbound side will be shut

:04:49.:04:51.

at peak time during the trial in August. More than 20,000 people

:04:52.:04:54.

signed a petition and over 300 attended a public meeting against

:04:55.:04:56.

the proposals. Research for the charity Scope has

:04:57.:05:05.

found 60% of people admit to feeling uncomfortable talking to disabled

:05:06.:05:08.

people. They've launched a series of adverts to try and help people

:05:09.:05:10.

overcome what the charity describe as an awkwardness when talking to

:05:11.:05:17.

people with disabilities. They just are worried about saying

:05:18.:05:20.

the wrong thing. There are worried about being patronising, so

:05:21.:05:23.

therefore people have tended to avoid engaging at all. That's what

:05:24.:05:30.

campaigners trying to address. Trying to get past those awkward

:05:31.:05:34.

moments that many of us feel in life. If people go onto our website,

:05:35.:05:41.

there is a fun quiz people can do cold "end the awkward". They can

:05:42.:05:45.

find out how awkward they are or not and there is tips and advice on what

:05:46.:05:47.

people can do. Football, and Wales' Women have

:05:48.:06:01.

beaten Montenegro 4-0 in their 2015 World Cup qualifier tonight. Jess

:06:02.:06:04.

Fishlock grabbed a hat-trick in the win in Bangor. The result leaves

:06:05.:06:07.

Wales still second in their Qualifying Group behind England, who

:06:08.:06:10.

beat Ukraine this evening. Wales' next qualifier is next month against

:06:11.:06:18.

Turkey in Haverfordwest. Montenegro was defensively very

:06:19.:06:20.

organised. Because they are physical players they were able to defend

:06:21.:06:24.

very deep and that made it difficult for us. We highlighted before the

:06:25.:06:28.

game that we need to move the ball quickly. We need to pass quickly and

:06:29.:06:31.

kick the ball as much as possible and I felt that the girls used that

:06:32.:06:36.

to a maximum and were able to score some good goals.

:06:37.:06:41.

Rugby and a Probables versus Possibles encounter will be held at

:06:42.:06:47.

the end of the month as Wales Coach Warren Gatland looks to pick a

:06:48.:06:50.

31-man squad to tour South Africa this summer. The two sides will be

:06:51.:06:53.

coached separately by Wales assistant coaches Rob Howley and

:06:54.:06:56.

Robin McBryde. The game will take place on Friday the 30th of May at

:06:57.:06:59.

the Liberty Stadium. Warren Gatland will reveal his tour squad after the

:07:00.:07:01.

match that night. Talking of probables and possibles -

:07:02.:07:10.

I bet it's probably some rain, possibly some sunshine. How's the

:07:11.:07:11.

forecast? Good evening. You are right. But

:07:12.:07:24.

some good news. Some sunshine tomorrow. It will be breezy but

:07:25.:07:31.

drier and brighter. Here is the cloud that brought today's rain.

:07:32.:07:36.

That has moved away. This clump of cloud over Ireland is heading our

:07:37.:07:41.

way. It may be dry for now but it will not stay that way. It will move

:07:42.:07:50.

eastwards bringing showers. Not a cold night. Tomorrow morning, not as

:07:51.:07:58.

wet as this morning. A few showers around and quite breezy on the

:07:59.:08:04.

coast. But some dry and bright weather and sunshine mixed in with

:08:05.:08:12.

that. Across the rest of the UK, a mixture of showers and sunny spells.

:08:13.:08:19.

Some heavy showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Breezy in the

:08:20.:08:34.

South. At 3pm in Wales you may catch a shower which could be heavy, but

:08:35.:08:39.

most places will miss showers and state drive. Try and come for a time

:08:40.:08:50.

tomorrow evening. But that will not last. More rain after midnight. The

:08:51.:09:01.

wind will pick up again as well. Saturday has more of an autumnal

:09:02.:09:09.

look to it. It will start off wet. It will dry up for a time but then

:09:10.:09:13.

showers will pack in, some heavy and thundery. Strong winds especially in

:09:14.:09:20.

the South and West. Sunday will continue cool and windy.

:09:21.:09:24.

Temperatures lower than Saturday. Some showers will be heavy. Perhaps

:09:25.:09:31.

some sunshine for the Pembrokeshire coast. Heading into Monday, the wind

:09:32.:09:38.

will be lighter with brother showers and some sunshine. Your umbrella

:09:39.:09:45.

will come in handy this weekend. But I can promise a little sunshine.

:09:46.:09:51.

And that is Wales Today. We'll have updates for you from around 6.25am

:09:52.:09:55.

in the morning. For now though, a very good night.

:09:56.:10:00.
