:00:00. > :00:18.A quick reminder, you can see more of that interview with Pele on BBC
:00:19. > :00:22."Major cultural change" is needed at South Wales Police
:00:23. > :00:25.after a woman was attacked by her partner with a hammer in front
:00:26. > :00:30.That's the conclusion of the Independent Police Complaints
:00:31. > :00:33.commissioner who says there were failures across the organisation.
:00:34. > :00:36.The force has apologised to Charmaine Lewis
:00:37. > :00:39.for failing to recognise the risk her partner posed.
:00:40. > :00:55.Christopher was a convicted rapist when he met his partner. She had no
:00:56. > :01:00.idea, but the police should have known. She was living at these
:01:01. > :01:04.Cardiff flat when he started to beat her. She reported him, but the
:01:05. > :01:10.police fail to realise how dangerous he was. They miss spelt his name on
:01:11. > :01:15.a computer. So, they took a statement from her, and took her
:01:16. > :01:21.home. It was a mistake which almost cost her life. They sent me back
:01:22. > :01:29.home. As they were going down in the lift, Christmas coming up in the
:01:30. > :01:33.lift. At the time, I was kneeling down and changing my little boy's
:01:34. > :01:42.nappy. My front door came crashing in. What followed was an horrific
:01:43. > :01:48.attack. I tried to get out onto the veranda to shout for help. He
:01:49. > :01:51.carried on hitting the in the head with a hammer. Today, the
:01:52. > :01:53.Independent Police Complaints Commission said major change is
:01:54. > :01:58.needed in the wake South Wales Police deals with domestic abuse.
:01:59. > :02:01.There was a continuing threat of low-level performance on the part of
:02:02. > :02:08.the officers and staff members of South Wales Police, not just
:02:09. > :02:13.responding to one but two reports she made of assaults. The serious
:02:14. > :02:16.nature of what happened here was, according to the Independent Police
:02:17. > :02:21.Complaints Commission, the result of a failure not just at the lower
:02:22. > :02:25.levels of the force. In an incident like this, South Wales Police would
:02:26. > :02:30.be expected to self refer the issues to the IPCC. That did not happen.
:02:31. > :02:35.Instead, the commission learnt about the case a year later. In a
:02:36. > :02:40.statement from South Wales Police, the Deputy Chief Constable says, "it
:02:41. > :02:44.is clear we did not provide the victim and her children with the
:02:45. > :03:02.care and protection she needed, and we are sincerely sorry for that".
:03:03. > :03:06.Tonight, the police and crime commission for South Wales told this
:03:07. > :03:12.programme that lessons have been learned. There are systems in place
:03:13. > :03:16.where there is supervision on a daily basis seven days a week. The
:03:17. > :03:20.self referral, in the 18 months I have been police and crime
:03:21. > :03:25.commission, I have seen South Wales Police referred things to the IPCC
:03:26. > :03:32.when they did not need to, if there was any margin of doubt. So, the
:03:33. > :03:37.culture has changed. Sent back to prison, Christopher took his own
:03:38. > :03:39.life. Charmaine says she is rebuilding has slowly, but the
:03:40. > :03:42.failure of South Wales Police mean she has had no justice.
:03:43. > :03:45.Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspected
:03:46. > :03:48.of neglecting an elderly woman at a care home in the Rhondda.
:03:49. > :03:50.It follows an alleged incident at the Zoar Residential Home
:03:51. > :03:54.Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales,
:03:55. > :03:56.which regulates the home, say they're working with the police

:04:00. > :04:01.The Welsh ambulance service has launched an investigation after

:04:10. > :04:14.hospital in Llanelli, where he later died.
:04:15. > :04:16.Parents in Wales should do more to help raise standards in schools.
:04:17. > :04:19.That's the message from the man responsible for the international
:04:20. > :04:25.He's been in Cardiff, addressing one of the largest education
:04:26. > :04:38.Our Education Correspondent Arwyn Jones was there.
:04:39. > :04:45.They may not thank you at the time, but the things you do at home...
:04:46. > :04:49.This Welsh government advert which has been on our screens for the past
:04:50. > :04:52.few weeks tells parents about how important it is that education
:04:53. > :04:59.begins at home. But, how well do we do that? This was the view here. If
:05:00. > :05:07.there are problems are those big to the teacher, but apart from that, I
:05:08. > :05:09.don't speak to the teachers much. I am always interested in their
:05:10. > :05:18.schoolwork. You the regular reports three. If there are any concerns, I
:05:19. > :05:21.will talk to them. If I have any concerns I try to make an
:05:22. > :05:25.appointment to see the teacher. To be fair, they are more than happy
:05:26. > :05:34.with that. Today it was called the biggest ever education Conference
:05:35. > :05:39.and teachers were saying that they need to up their game. A child's
:05:40. > :05:45.education is their future, and parents must become more demanding.
:05:46. > :05:49.It is an important ingredient of the education system in Asia, for
:05:50. > :05:54.example. Errors have very high expectations for the schooling of
:05:55. > :05:57.their children. In his first speech on education, Carwyn Jones told
:05:58. > :06:03.headteachers there needs to be more focus on the international education
:06:04. > :06:07.league tables in our schools. They test our 15-year-olds on their
:06:08. > :06:10.maths, reading and science skills every three years, and the kind of
:06:11. > :06:15.skills employers want, according to the First Minister. We have slipped
:06:16. > :06:18.down, compare to other parts of the world, and to change it means a
:06:19. > :06:24.greater emphasis on piste tests. Schools are being judged on these.
:06:25. > :06:28.We are being judged as politicians. It is important that they are taken
:06:29. > :06:34.seriously, as indeed GCSEs and A-levels are. There is no doubt that
:06:35. > :06:37.we live in a world where, although qualifications remain important,
:06:38. > :06:41.they are only part of the picture. Concerns have been raised by
:06:42. > :06:45.hundreds of academics that Pisa tests are not that reliable, but the
:06:46. > :06:49.Welsh government is adamant we must improve our international standing
:06:50. > :06:54.because it could bring in more foreign investment and create jobs.
:06:55. > :06:56.If today's education is tomorrow's economy, we could all be thankful
:06:57. > :06:59.for that. Unemployment in Wales has fallen to
:07:00. > :07:02.levels not seen since the financial 6.6% of the working population,
:07:03. > :07:06.was out of work between February and April , compared with 6.8%

:09:38. > :09:43.On the whole, a lot of dry weather and still some sunshine. More dry
