look at the papers on the BBC News channel. Now it's time to | :00:00. | :00:28. | |
Good evening. The number of people killed or injured in car crashes | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
involving teenage drivers here, is one of the highest in the UK. Dyfed | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Powys has been named the worst area in Britain by the RAC Foundation. It | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
carried out research into the driving habits of 17 to | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
19-year-olds. There are now calls for stricter rules for | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
newly-qualified young drivers. Kate Scott Williams reports. More | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
teenagers here are involved in incidents that kill or injure than | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
in any other part of the UK. The latest family affected are the | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
family of this boy who was killed on Saturday. Nearly 20% of people | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
involved in an accident in this region involved a young driver. | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
South Wales is lower at around 15%. Young drivers are disproportionately | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
killing themselves and killing other people when they have an accident. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
If it was gun crime, knife crime, drugs or alcohol there would be an | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
outcry yet because it is happening on our roads it seems acceptable. | :01:36. | :01:47. | |
This man was killed while driving in a car by his 21-year-old friend. The | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
friend was jailed. His parents contest even the most experienced of | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
drivers. No crash barriers, winding roads, little defensive you make a | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
mistake. It takes only a lack of concentration for a moment. His | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
brother is learning to dry himself and says losing his brother has made | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
him much more cautious when driving a car. I never go too fast or | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
anything because if someone I am in a car with does I will ask them to | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
slow down, I am not scared any more. There are calls for a licensing | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
system a 12 month probationary period with restrictions on what | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
they could do on the road. The ideas were put on hold last week. There | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
are three types of driving, urban, rural and motorway. You are only | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
tested on Arben driving in your test but I think you should be tested on | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
all three and also night driving. This family say any changes to make | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
young people safer drivers are welcome. A baby-sitter has been | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
jailed for 16 years for giving a three-year-old boy to a known | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
paedophile who drugged and raped him. Claire Semmens, who's 28 and | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
from Cardiff, handed the boy to Aaron Hughes who was jailed for life | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
for the sex attacks on the toddler. Semmens admitted causing a child to | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
engage in sexual activity and possessing indecent images at | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Cardiff Crown Court. A company which makes rivets for leading car | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
manufacturers is to create 100 new jobs in Flintshire. Henrob Limited | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
will open a new factory next to its existing plant on Deeside Industrial | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Park. It currently employs 200 people at the site. A ?3.5 million | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
revamp of Prestatyn's Nova Centre moved a step closer today. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Denbighshire Council leaders have given the go-ahead to a detailed | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
design of how it could look in the future. The centre was closed | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
earlier this year because it was losing money. It's hoped the new | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Nova could open as early as next summer. It's day four of the Queen's | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
Baton Relay in Wales. And with fewer than 60 days to go before the start | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, it seems that high profile | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
sporting events like this are encouraging more of us, young and | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
old, to take up sport. Abigail Neal spent the day following the baton | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
through Carmarthenshire. It was a poor Etty welcome to Wales this | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
morning at the home of Dylan Thomas in lard. -- Paul Whitaker welcome. | :04:45. | :05:11. | |
-- poetic. By the this woman is a ward sister in Carmarthen but in her | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
spare time she is training to compete in balls in her fourth | :05:18. | :05:30. | |
Commonwealth Games this summer. -- bowls. I hope to come away with two | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
medals. The young sports fans are still here taking part in a mini | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
triathlon. We are beginning to see evidence no of high-profile sporting | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
events like this inspiring as all. A survey by sport Wales found the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
number of young people in Wales doing sport at least three times per | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
week has risen from 27% in 2011 to 40% in 2013. It is the same for | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
adults. It is still proving harder to get as many girls interested in | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
sport as boys. One of our most successful female athletes find this | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
out herself. Sam from Big Brother is recognised more than female | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
athletes. It is essential to get them on the television and in the | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
media. A choir arrived this afternoon, a taster of more music | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
and song to come from the Cathedral tomorrow. In football, Gareth Bale | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
will miss Wales' friendly against the Netherlands next week. The FA of | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Wales says he's being rested, after trouble with a leg muscle injury for | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
a few weeks. Bale's been celebrating this week after scoring the decisive | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
goal in Real Madrid's Champions League victory on Saturday. Rugby, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
and no English-based players have been selected for this weekend's | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Wales trial match, ahead of the summer tour to South Africa. English | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
clubs are refusing to release any of their Welsh players for the game | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
between the Probables and Possibles - because it falls outside the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
agreed international calendar. The Wales management say it's a shame | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
that players like Bath centre Gavin Henson are being denied the chance | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
to impress selectors. Cricket, and Glamorgan have been frustrated by | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
the weather, and Leicestershire's batsmen, as they pressed for victory | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
on the penultimate day of their Championship match in Cardiff. The | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
visitors are 168 for three in their second innings, still needing | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
another 73 to make Glamorgan bat again. Well, hopefully the weather | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
won't prove a battle for them tomorrow. Are there still a few | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
showers about tomorrow, Benny? Yes, showers or longer spells of rain so | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
more frustration around tomorrow or over the coming days. For tomorrow | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
it is a cloudy picture for most of us. Rain on and off throughout the | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
day. Tonight it is dry at first and rain will come into parts of the | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
North. Maybe even some clear skies with mist and fog forming as well. | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
The rain will come in through tomorrow and Thursday. Parts of | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
Pembrokeshire may start dry with some hints of brightness but it will | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
cloud over during the day. There is a yellow bee we are warning for | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
Yorkshire. -- the we are warning. -- a yellow warning for Yorkshire. | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
Temperatures will peak at 16 Celsius. Tomorrow night the rain | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
will continue its journey South and West words. There will be dry | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
conditions in the north-east. On Thursday the rain will clear, behind | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
it some showers which could be heavy and thundery. Between the showers we | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
could see some sunshine. Friday will be slightly improved, temperatures | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
peaking at 18 Celsius. The risk of the odd isolated shower. And that is | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Wales Today. We'll have updates into Breakfast from around 6:25. Week In, | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Week Out is next. But from all of us here, good night. | :10:01. | :10:02. |
