:00:00. > :00:28.look at the papers on the BBC News channel. Now it's time to

:00:29. > :00:34.Good evening. The number of people killed or injured in car crashes

:00:35. > :00:38.involving teenage drivers here, is one of the highest in the UK. Dyfed

:00:39. > :00:41.Powys has been named the worst area in Britain by the RAC Foundation. It

:00:42. > :00:44.carried out research into the driving habits of 17 to

:00:45. > :00:46.19-year-olds. There are now calls for stricter rules for

:00:47. > :00:48.newly-qualified young drivers. Kate Scott Williams reports. More

:00:49. > :00:54.teenagers here are involved in incidents that kill or injure than

:00:55. > :01:02.in any other part of the UK. The latest family affected are the

:01:03. > :01:09.family of this boy who was killed on Saturday. Nearly 20% of people

:01:10. > :01:17.involved in an accident in this region involved a young driver.

:01:18. > :01:23.South Wales is lower at around 15%. Young drivers are disproportionately

:01:24. > :01:30.killing themselves and killing other people when they have an accident.

:01:31. > :01:35.If it was gun crime, knife crime, drugs or alcohol there would be an

:01:36. > :01:47.outcry yet because it is happening on our roads it seems acceptable.

:01:48. > :01:52.This man was killed while driving in a car by his 21-year-old friend. The

:01:53. > :02:02.friend was jailed. His parents contest even the most experienced of

:02:03. > :02:10.drivers. No crash barriers, winding roads, little defensive you make a

:02:11. > :02:17.mistake. It takes only a lack of concentration for a moment. His

:02:18. > :02:22.brother is learning to dry himself and says losing his brother has made

:02:23. > :02:31.him much more cautious when driving a car. I never go too fast or

:02:32. > :02:38.anything because if someone I am in a car with does I will ask them to

:02:39. > :02:46.slow down, I am not scared any more. There are calls for a licensing

:02:47. > :02:52.system a 12 month probationary period with restrictions on what

:02:53. > :03:00.they could do on the road. The ideas were put on hold last week. There

:03:01. > :03:05.are three types of driving, urban, rural and motorway. You are only

:03:06. > :03:10.tested on Arben driving in your test but I think you should be tested on

:03:11. > :03:16.all three and also night driving. This family say any changes to make

:03:17. > :03:19.young people safer drivers are welcome. A baby-sitter has been

:03:20. > :03:22.jailed for 16 years for giving a three-year-old boy to a known

:03:23. > :03:25.paedophile who drugged and raped him. Claire Semmens, who's 28 and

:03:26. > :03:29.from Cardiff, handed the boy to Aaron Hughes who was jailed for life

:03:30. > :03:32.for the sex attacks on the toddler. Semmens admitted causing a child to

:03:33. > :03:36.engage in sexual activity and possessing indecent images at

:03:37. > :03:39.Cardiff Crown Court. A company which makes rivets for leading car

:03:40. > :03:43.manufacturers is to create 100 new jobs in Flintshire. Henrob Limited

:03:44. > :03:50.will open a new factory next to its existing plant on Deeside Industrial

:03:51. > :04:00.Park. It currently employs 200 people at the site. A ?3.5 million

:04:01. > :04:02.revamp of Prestatyn's Nova Centre moved a step closer today.

:04:03. > :04:06.Denbighshire Council leaders have given the go-ahead to a detailed

:04:07. > :04:09.design of how it could look in the future. The centre was closed

:04:10. > :04:12.earlier this year because it was losing money. It's hoped the new

:04:13. > :04:19.Nova could open as early as next summer. It's day four of the Queen's

:04:20. > :04:22.Baton Relay in Wales. And with fewer than 60 days to go before the start

:04:23. > :04:25.of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, it seems that high profile

:04:26. > :04:29.sporting events like this are encouraging more of us, young and

:04:30. > :04:40.old, to take up sport. Abigail Neal spent the day following the baton

:04:41. > :04:44.through Carmarthenshire. It was a poor Etty welcome to Wales this

:04:45. > :05:11.morning at the home of Dylan Thomas in lard. -- Paul Whitaker welcome.

:05:12. > :05:17.-- poetic. By the this woman is a ward sister in Carmarthen but in her

:05:18. > :05:30.spare time she is training to compete in balls in her fourth

:05:31. > :05:40.Commonwealth Games this summer. -- bowls. I hope to come away with two

:05:41. > :05:46.medals. The young sports fans are still here taking part in a mini

:05:47. > :05:56.triathlon. We are beginning to see evidence no of high-profile sporting

:05:57. > :06:00.events like this inspiring as all. A survey by sport Wales found the

:06:01. > :06:10.number of young people in Wales doing sport at least three times per

:06:11. > :06:21.week has risen from 27% in 2011 to 40% in 2013. It is the same for

:06:22. > :06:28.adults. It is still proving harder to get as many girls interested in

:06:29. > :06:37.sport as boys. One of our most successful female athletes find this

:06:38. > :06:45.out herself. Sam from Big Brother is recognised more than female

:06:46. > :06:51.athletes. It is essential to get them on the television and in the

:06:52. > :06:55.media. A choir arrived this afternoon, a taster of more music

:06:56. > :06:59.and song to come from the Cathedral tomorrow. In football, Gareth Bale

:07:00. > :07:02.will miss Wales' friendly against the Netherlands next week. The FA of

:07:03. > :07:06.Wales says he's being rested, after trouble with a leg muscle injury for

:07:07. > :07:09.a few weeks. Bale's been celebrating this week after scoring the decisive

:07:10. > :07:12.goal in Real Madrid's Champions League victory on Saturday. Rugby,

:07:13. > :07:15.and no English-based players have been selected for this weekend's

:07:16. > :07:19.Wales trial match, ahead of the summer tour to South Africa. English

:07:20. > :07:22.clubs are refusing to release any of their Welsh players for the game

:07:23. > :07:26.between the Probables and Possibles - because it falls outside the

:07:27. > :07:29.agreed international calendar. The Wales management say it's a shame

:07:30. > :07:35.that players like Bath centre Gavin Henson are being denied the chance

:07:36. > :07:38.to impress selectors. Cricket, and Glamorgan have been frustrated by

:07:39. > :07:41.the weather, and Leicestershire's batsmen, as they pressed for victory

:07:42. > :07:45.on the penultimate day of their Championship match in Cardiff. The

:07:46. > :07:48.visitors are 168 for three in their second innings, still needing

:07:49. > :07:54.another 73 to make Glamorgan bat again. Well, hopefully the weather

:07:55. > :08:03.won't prove a battle for them tomorrow. Are there still a few

:08:04. > :08:07.showers about tomorrow, Benny? Yes, showers or longer spells of rain so

:08:08. > :08:14.more frustration around tomorrow or over the coming days. For tomorrow

:08:15. > :08:20.it is a cloudy picture for most of us. Rain on and off throughout the

:08:21. > :08:28.day. Tonight it is dry at first and rain will come into parts of the

:08:29. > :08:40.North. Maybe even some clear skies with mist and fog forming as well.

:08:41. > :08:48.The rain will come in through tomorrow and Thursday. Parts of

:08:49. > :08:55.Pembrokeshire may start dry with some hints of brightness but it will

:08:56. > :09:06.cloud over during the day. There is a yellow bee we are warning for

:09:07. > :09:17.Yorkshire. -- the we are warning. -- a yellow warning for Yorkshire.

:09:18. > :09:21.Temperatures will peak at 16 Celsius. Tomorrow night the rain

:09:22. > :09:28.will continue its journey South and West words. There will be dry

:09:29. > :09:33.conditions in the north-east. On Thursday the rain will clear, behind

:09:34. > :09:39.it some showers which could be heavy and thundery. Between the showers we

:09:40. > :09:48.could see some sunshine. Friday will be slightly improved, temperatures

:09:49. > :09:55.peaking at 18 Celsius. The risk of the odd isolated shower. And that is

:09:56. > :10:00.Wales Today. We'll have updates into Breakfast from around 6:25. Week In,

:10:01. > :10:02.Week Out is next. But from all of us here, good night.
