more on the BBC News Channel. We are back with the late news | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Labour party members in the Cynon Valley have cancelled a meeting | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
to select a replacement parliamentary candidate, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
after being told it must be an all-women shortlist. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Labour are looking for a new candidate to replace | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
the MP Ann Clwyd, who's retiring at next year's general election. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Ann Clwyd was elected as Labour MP for the Cynon Valley in 1984. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
At the time she was only the fourth woman ever to hold a Welsh seat. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Labour Party bosses want to replace her with another woman. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
But some members of the party in the Cynon Valley constituency | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
don't agree and argue they want to find the best | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
What are we recognise the need to extend the representation of women | :00:52. | :01:03. | |
in parliament. What we are unhappy about here is | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
the members have considered the alternative, we were told we are | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
being consulted about the matter then our views have been ignored. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Women shortlists have already selected candidates in Aberconwy, | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Cardiff Central, Cardiff North, Carmarthen West and South | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Swansea East have still to select a candidate but they're also | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
expected to be asked to choose from a woman-only list. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
That has caused issues for Labour in the past. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
There was a bitter dispute over all-women shortlists within | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the party in Blaenau Gwent at the 2005 general election. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
The Labour AM Peter Law stood as an independent and overturned | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
But one of the party's biggest supporters | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
of the policy says having more women in politics is a good thing. | :01:50. | :02:03. | |
If we live chance it never happens. If we bring in equality for women | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
and men, they have a future of all the seats in Wales. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
In a statement, the Welsh Labour Party said it leads | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
the way on female representation in Wales with more women MPs, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
AMs and councillors than any other party and will continue to do so. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Two motorcyclists have died and five other people have been | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
hurt, in a crash between a car and six motorbikes in Flintshire. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
It happened on the A5104 at Pontblyddyn, | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Five casualties were taken to hospital by ambulance | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Two divers who went missing off the Anglesey coast, have been | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
The alarm was raised at one o'clock, after they failed to return to | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
They're thought to be in a good condition. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
More stop checks on drivers will be made over the next month by police | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
forces across Wales, as part of a summer anti-drink driving campaign. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
The family of a man killed by a drunk driver last year are | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
They've been speaking to Paul Heaney. | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
I know something in my heart told me that he had died, I knew before I | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
went in hospital. Julie's son Josh was a passenger in a car last March | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
when it crashed head-on into a tree. The driver was drunk at the time, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
but survived. Josh didn't. He was 20 years old. My best friend has gone. | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
He has got robbed of growing old. That is the hardest thing for me. We | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
don't live no more, we just exist. To prevent this happening to more | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
families, police forces across Wales will be carrying out more stop | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
checks for drink-driving over the next month. The message, as always, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
is very simple. A lot of people are of the mindset of it is only down | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
the road, it is only one drink. That little momentary lapse of | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
concentration, you hit a curb, your car spins out of control, that is | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
when you realise, I wish I hadn't had that drink. You have killed | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
somebody. Figures from the last major drink drive campaign by police | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
across Wales show fewer people were caught over the limit behind the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
wheel, but the message this summer time from the Williams family is | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
there are still far too many people taking risks with other people 's | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
lives. Joe Allen will captain Wales | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
in their match against Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
and Aaron Ramsey will all miss Bale has pulled out because | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
of a leg muscle injury. Glamorgan have been batting | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
on day one of their championship At the close they were all out | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
for 244. The weather forecast now, | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
with Sue Charles. It is the start of June, the | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
meteorological summer. Sunny spells, colder than average. Tonight thicker | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
cloud spreads in from the west, some mist and hill fog, a mild night with | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
him which is staying in double figures. Early mist, cloudy, R | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Briggs of grisly rain clearing eastwards. The cloud will gradually | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
break through the afternoon, writer spells developing from the West. | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Tuesday is often cloudy, a mix of sunny spells and showers, a bit | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
colder. These fronts pushing in from the Atlantic keeping things | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
unsettled. Colder, unsettled start to the week but more settled by the | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
end it. Good night. | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
Hello. Most of us have enjoyed at least one day of lovely weather this | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
weekend. That weather will be harder to come by this week. It has been up | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
and down. Yes, rain or showers at times. | :06:21. | :06:22. |
