That's all from us. There is a first look at the papers

:00:00.:00:18.

A three-year-old girl has died following a fire at a house

:00:19.:00:21.

Emergency services were called to the incident yesterday evening.

:00:22.:00:25.

The girl?s mother is in a serious condition in hospital.

:00:26.:00:28.

This was the scene yesterday evening as firefighters tackled the blaze on

:00:29.:00:42.

a quiet residential street at Carmarthen. It has been described as

:00:43.:00:47.

very fierce and took nearly four hours to get under control. They

:00:48.:00:51.

both say they heard screams and the street was in utter chaos, thick

:00:52.:00:55.

black smoke throughout the whole area and the house was engulfed in

:00:56.:00:59.

flames. People stood by in tears as they were in a state of shock. A

:01:00.:01:04.

three-year-old girl was taken to a hospital in Cardiff, but it was

:01:05.:01:08.

confirmed earlier that she died from her injuries. Her mother remained

:01:09.:01:14.

any serious condition. Her father was also injured and remains in

:01:15.:01:18.

hospital. Other family members are being supported by specialist

:01:19.:01:23.

officers. Police from one force have remained at the house through the

:01:24.:01:27.

day and enquiries are continuing to try to piece together how this

:01:28.:01:28.

tragedy unfolded. Swansea Prison was the subject

:01:29.:01:30.

of an urgent question at Westminster It?s emerged it?s

:01:31.:01:32.

the most overcrowded prison The Chief Inspector

:01:33.:01:35.

of Prisons says the system isn't coping and has described the

:01:36.:01:40.

situation as ?extremely serious?. Willie accept responsibility for the

:01:41.:01:56.

closure of 18 jails. -- will he? For escalating increase in the prison

:01:57.:02:01.

population. I have recognised the fact that Wales has a problem with

:02:02.:02:08.

prisons, because there is not one in the North. So I have asked for money

:02:09.:02:13.

to build a new prison in North Wales, that is doing the right

:02:14.:02:14.

thing. Household recycling services

:02:15.:02:16.

in Wales are ?too complicated?, That's according to the

:02:17.:02:18.

Welsh Government's advisor One council is considering whether

:02:19.:02:20.

to move to monthly collections Tipped out, squashed down and ready

:02:21.:02:41.

to be made into something new. More people here are recycling which

:02:42.:02:46.

means less processing -- this processing plant is getting busier.

:02:47.:02:50.

Wales has a better recycling rates than the west of the UK in part of

:02:51.:02:58.

-- because of ambitious targets. Currently, we recycle 52% of the

:02:59.:03:05.

rubbish we throw away. , the target will be 58% of meaning authorities

:03:06.:03:09.

have to find ways to encourage us to throw less in the bin.

:03:10.:03:14.

From next year, councils will be fined ?100,000 for every 1% they are

:03:15.:03:21.

below the target. Now, one adviser and advises that local authorities

:03:22.:03:23.

need to stop having different ways of collecting and processing

:03:24.:03:30.

recycling. , it can be too confusing because we have different systems,

:03:31.:03:34.

22, for recycling. We need to look at that. One system, there is no

:03:35.:03:42.

reason that we cannot have a Cold War dilated on system approach that

:03:43.:03:50.

would be clearer. -- a coordinated one system.

:03:51.:03:56.

The Welsh Government says it is up to individual councils to decide how

:03:57.:03:58.

to meet targets and it has given them money to collaborate and make

:03:59.:04:03.

savings. On the ground, there are different rules around the country.

:04:04.:04:07.

In some places, they collect bins every three weeks, in some places

:04:08.:04:13.

they are considering smaller bins all limits on banks or picking up

:04:14.:04:21.

the rubbish once a month. It is normally the last few weeks. What do

:04:22.:04:25.

you think about a month then? No way. We would have banks next to the

:04:26.:04:34.

bin. Not a lot got four children. What would happen? If we move to

:04:35.:04:40.

once a month, they will be bags everywhere. -- mood. Knowing what

:04:41.:04:47.

you can and cannot recycle is an issue here and in other parts of the

:04:48.:04:50.

country. Would it be easier to educate people if there was one set

:04:51.:04:52.

of rules for the whole country? The Labour Party

:04:53.:04:55.

in Wales could decide at the weekend how many councils it

:04:56.:04:56.

wants as part of a new local Earlier this year

:04:57.:05:00.

a report called for the number Any proposal would need some

cross-party support in the Assembly. A bomb disposal team has established

:05:04.:05:10.

tonight that device found in Newport earlier is not a World War Two bomb

:05:11.:05:14.

and doesn't pose any risk. Houses, a school and businesses

:05:15.:05:19.

were evacuated this afternoon. A cordon has now been lifted

:05:20.:05:24.

and roads reopened. Prince Charles has intervened

:05:25.:05:29.

to save a dying Welsh industry. After hearing on the BBC that Wales'

:05:30.:05:31.

last full-time clog maker, from Criccieth in Gwynedd,

:05:32.:05:34.

was looking to retire, the Prince of Wales got in touch and

:05:35.:05:39.

offered to help fund an apprentice. Walking into this workshop, it is

:05:40.:05:55.

like stepping back in time. The last full-time commercial clockmaker in

Wales, he has spent 36 years perfecting his cracked. With forks

:06:02.:06:10.

of retirement, he was worried. -- thought of. After appearing on the

:06:11.:06:21.

BBC, and unexpected offer of help. You don't expect to get that phone

:06:22.:06:29.

call. What it promised was support, help, and maybe a bit of clout

:06:30.:06:37.

behind any requests for help. It is not known whether the Prince is a

:06:38.:06:44.

clog owner, but Clarence House has told the BBC that he was keen to see

:06:45.:06:48.

the craft continue. It has meant helping to fund an apprentice.

:06:49.:06:58.

Intrigued by its history, he is convinced the craft also offers him

:06:59.:07:04.

a future. Because there are so little people doing it, and there is

:07:05.:07:10.

a demand, the demand in Wales for clogs is on the up. I'm quite

:07:11.:07:15.

convinced there will be a market for it. That demand has led to a clog

:07:16.:07:22.

shortage, even an amnesty so that younger dancers can get their hands

:07:23.:07:29.

and feet on properly crafted clogs. This is the type of work you have to

:07:30.:07:36.

put your back into. The whole process can take a full week to turn

a log into a clog. He will spend a year learning

:07:42.:07:47.

hands-on, and he hopes then he can carry on a tradition that has

:07:48.:07:48.

survived for centuries. It?s almost sunshine all the way,

:07:49.:07:49.

but not quite... Cloud amounts will vary. We may get

the odd shower. The emphasis remains on more dry weather this week. They

:08:05.:08:08.

will be a few sunny spells. Dry tonight. Otherwise the sky is nice

:08:09.:08:14.

and clear and turns clear in the countryside. Temperatures in some

:08:15.:08:20.

rural spots will drop below nine Celsius. Tomorrow, we are in for a

:08:21.:08:24.

dry day. Lovely sunshine, but cloud as well. Tomorrow morning, a dry

:08:25.:08:30.

story nationwide. Sunny for most, but not everywhere. The reason for

:08:31.:08:35.

this is that there is this area of high pressure here. This week front

:08:36.:08:39.

will bring some cloud and even a few spots of rain to the North and

:08:40.:08:45.

Scotland, the odd shower. Elsewhere, a dry story. A lot of cloud for

:08:46.:08:48.

Northern England, but in the South it will brighten up the sunny across

:08:49.:08:53.

the south-east and East Anglia, much sunnier than today and warmer, too.

:08:54.:08:58.

The highest temperature likely in Scotland tomorrow. 24 Celsius in
