:00:30. > :00:35.get fed up after a couple of years. I will not give up until I have got

:00:36. > :00:47.something to have some meaning why Adam had to go.

:01:32. > :01:34.Chris Evans-Thomas lost her son Adam to leukaemia in 2004 at the age

:01:35. > :01:37.His dying wish was to improve facilities at Withybush Hospital,

:01:38. > :01:39.but 10 years on, his legacy has not been spent.

:01:40. > :01:51.Adam Evans-Thomas achieved remarkable things in his lifetime.

:01:52. > :01:54.He campaigned for the government to pay the cost

:01:55. > :01:57.of DNA testing for bone marrow donors and he persuaded 3,000 people

:01:58. > :02:04.But as Adam's illness progressed he decided he wanted to give something

:02:05. > :02:10.He began raising money through the Adam's Bucket Full of

:02:11. > :02:13.Hope Appeal to refurbish the cancer ward here at Withybush and build

:02:14. > :02:25.When he died in 2004, his mother took on that legacy.

:02:26. > :02:35.We were discussing verbal lockers and lavender and all of this. It

:02:36. > :02:40.went on and on, it went on for another year, we were still

:02:41. > :02:42.enthusiastically fund-raising away. And it has been going on now for ten

:02:43. > :02:50.years. Through the high profile campaign of

:02:51. > :02:53.Adam's appeal, his mother has helped raise ?649,776 in the NHS pot for

:02:54. > :02:56.cancer services in Pembrokeshire, she says she has repeatedly been

:02:57. > :02:59.given dates for when the work will start, but it never has,

:03:00. > :03:08.and now she wants the money back. I am making the money. The

:03:09. > :03:14.Pembrokeshire people have believed in me. I am carrying the can. If we

:03:15. > :03:22.are not going to have this built, not only are we going to ask for the

:03:23. > :03:25.money back, but if you are not going to make up your mind up, we will use

:03:26. > :03:30.it for some thing else. A cancer support charity

:03:31. > :03:32.in Pembrokeshire showed us letters they'd received from the local

:03:33. > :03:35.health board citing "recruitment and They're worried this may mean Adam's

:03:36. > :03:43.legacy never gets built. Everyone is assuming now that it

:03:44. > :03:52.will go to Glangwili Hospital. But is where everything seems to go

:03:53. > :03:55.these days. Everybody is afraid that the hospital will turn into a

:03:56. > :03:59.cottage hospital. In a statement Hywel Dda health

:04:00. > :04:03.board told us they are still fully committed to a new Chemotherapy Day

:04:04. > :04:06.Unit and that ?550,000 of funds have been committed to

:04:07. > :04:09.the refurbishment of the cancer ward Hywel Dda have no plans to hand the

:04:10. > :04:34.money back - and legal experts say Frequently, NHS charities ask you to

:04:35. > :04:39.give money for particular purposes but on the basis that is an

:04:40. > :04:42.expression of wish and not a binding obligation on them to use it for

:04:43. > :04:47.that particular purpose. Frustrated at the lack of progress

:04:48. > :04:50.from the NHS Chris Evans-Thomas has set up her own facility for

:04:51. > :04:52.cancer patients in Pembrokeshire. she calls her "distraction centre" ,

:04:53. > :04:56.but she won't give up her mission A jealous husband shot

:04:57. > :05:00.his wife dead in the street because he couldn't accept she'd left him

:05:01. > :05:03.for another man, a court has heard. Caroline Parry died

:05:04. > :05:05.after being shot twice Her husband Christopher was

:05:06. > :05:16.described as a controlling and dominant man who couldn't

:05:17. > :05:18.believe his marriage was over. From Newport Crown Court,

:05:19. > :05:20.Rhodri Lewis reports. Caroline Parry had been married

:05:21. > :05:23.for 27 years, but the court was told her husband Christopher was

:05:24. > :05:25.controlling and dominant. In March last year she left him

:05:26. > :05:27.and eventually moved It was here during the morning

:05:28. > :05:33.of August the 8th last year that he waited for her to leave for work in

:05:34. > :05:48.her car, before flagging her down. The prosecutor told the court that

:05:49. > :05:52.when Caroline Parry stopped to speak to her husband, he went to the boot

:05:53. > :05:56.of his car for his shotgun and shot her twice. It was carefully planned

:05:57. > :05:57.by a man in full control when he murdered his wife.

:05:58. > :06:00.Mr Parry then shot himself causing substantial facial injuries.

:06:01. > :06:03.He claimed he'd not meant to kill his wife, but had come to shoot

:06:04. > :06:11.But the prosecution says he planned the attack, as CCTV footage showed

:06:12. > :06:16.his car in the area two days earlier.

:06:17. > :06:27.If you add all of these activities together, he was a man not prepared

:06:28. > :06:31.to get go, it was said. It was a carefully planned scheme.

:06:32. > :06:32.Christopher Parry has admitted manslaughter but denies murder and

:06:33. > :06:39.the case continues. Fire crews have been dealing with

:06:40. > :06:41.a substantial fire A large area of grass

:06:42. > :06:44.and gorse was alight, around 120 square metres, opposite

:06:45. > :06:47.the Esplanade, with a strong breeze As you can see from these pictures,

:06:48. > :06:51.the smoke was visible The Health Minister has told AM that

:06:52. > :06:58.he's given ambulance bosses a deadline

:06:59. > :07:00.of three months to deliver "urgent improvements" after it again failed

:07:01. > :07:02.to meet response time targets. In May, 54% of ambulances reached

:07:03. > :07:04.life-threatening incidents Opposition parties claim response

:07:05. > :07:08.times are a national disgrace. The ambulance service blamed

:07:09. > :07:29.a rise in emergency calls and I expect an urgent improvement over

:07:30. > :07:33.the next three months. I do not want to be in the position of coming in

:07:34. > :07:38.front of this assembly in September to find that the performance that we

:07:39. > :07:45.have seen in May and has continued into June as well, I do not want to

:07:46. > :07:47.be here having to explain to you why the Cumberland service has not been

:07:48. > :07:51.able to make the necessary improvements. -- ambulance service.

:07:52. > :07:56.The NHS faces a "stark" future and a worsening recruitment crisis, if

:07:57. > :07:58.salaries for consultants are cut, according to the British Medical

:07:59. > :08:01.Association. Its Chair in Wales, Dr Phil Banfield, told its annual

:08:02. > :08:03.conference that Welsh Government plans could see senior doctors here

:08:04. > :08:06.paid 5% than elsewhere. The Welsh Government insists there are no

:08:07. > :08:13.There are concerns tonight over the future of a north Wales

:08:14. > :08:15.university, following allegations that hundreds of students may have

:08:16. > :08:18.The Education Minister, Huw Lewis, has described the situation at

:08:19. > :08:21.Glyndwr University, which has been suspended from recruiting overseas

:08:22. > :08:23.students, as having "potentially serious" implications for the higher

:08:24. > :08:26.Latest statistics show that almost 129,000 were enrolled

:08:27. > :08:28.at Universities in Wales in the 2012-13 academic year.

:08:29. > :08:31.15% of them came to study here from outside the EU.

:08:32. > :08:33.Applicants must be tested to ensure they can speak English to

:08:34. > :08:36.a suitable level - but a police investigation found that hundreds of

:08:37. > :08:58.The end of term approaching, Glyndwr's Wrexham campus is

:08:59. > :09:02.And while the university's ban on sponsoring those from non EU

:09:03. > :09:04.countries is in place, it'll remain that way.

:09:05. > :09:09.The restrictions came in after alleged visa fraud was

:09:10. > :09:12.uncovered at testing centres like this one in London.

:09:13. > :09:14.The BBC's Panorama programme showed applicants being given the answers

:09:15. > :09:16.to tests designed to measure their understanding of English.

:09:17. > :09:21.230 invalid test results were linked with students at Glyndwr's London

:09:22. > :09:32.35% of Glyndwr's 9,000 students come from outside the EU.

:09:33. > :09:36.Latest figures show they paid almost ?9.5 million in annual fees,

:09:37. > :09:39.almost as much as students from within the EU, who brought in

:09:40. > :09:45.Ken Richards is an economist with a background in Higher Education

:09:46. > :09:48.He believes the loss of such a large proportion

:09:49. > :10:04.It is estimated they bring in around a quarter of the university 's

:10:05. > :10:06.income. The impact will not be felt immediately but in future years.

:10:07. > :10:11.There is a crisis, I am sure. Today the Education Minister gave

:10:12. > :10:21.his reaction to the developments. It does have potentially serious

:10:22. > :10:24.implications, not just for the institution but for the reputation

:10:25. > :10:28.of the Welsh higher education sector as a whole.

:10:29. > :10:30.For some time now the union which represents university and

:10:31. > :10:33.college staff has been calling for the senior management at Glyndwr to

:10:34. > :10:36.resign over the threat of compulsory redundancies and what they describe

:10:37. > :10:40.They say this is another sign that major mistakes have been made.

:10:41. > :10:43.At the Wrexham campus today, a few of the remaining students told

:10:44. > :10:49.me they're not overly concerned about the impact of the sanctions.

:10:50. > :11:00.My English is perfectly fine. It does not apply to me, I guess.

:11:01. > :11:03.In a statement yesterday the university said it was committed

:11:04. > :11:05.to supporting those genuine international students who fully

:11:06. > :11:07.complied with the standards and is disappointed to have been

:11:08. > :11:10.Recruitment ads like this show the importance of

:11:11. > :11:13.attracting the next crop of students from here and abroad but that work

:11:14. > :11:18.Our Education Correspondent, Arwyn Jones, has been monitoring

:11:19. > :11:23.Arwyn, how big a problem is this for Wales as a brand, as a destination

:11:24. > :11:36.The problem is that many universities in Wales and other

:11:37. > :11:39.parts of the UK rely to quite a large extent on the money brought in

:11:40. > :11:44.by these non-European Union students. They also bring with them

:11:45. > :11:47.a wealth of experience and a cultural diversity but then when

:11:48. > :11:51.issues like this are thrown out, it can cause quite serious problems.

:11:52. > :11:56.The questions being asked of the Education Minister earlier today

:11:57. > :12:00.was, why were these not picked up? Why couldn't people realise that the

:12:01. > :12:07.students could not speaking this? Other questions included, is this

:12:08. > :12:09.just confined to Glyndwr University in Wales coast to mark our other

:12:10. > :12:15.institutions facing similar problems? The Welsh Government will

:12:16. > :12:19.be seeking to address those issues over the coming days and weeks. The

:12:20. > :12:26.futuristic looking very uncertain for Glyndwr University. Yes, it is

:12:27. > :12:30.an institution facing serious problems. It has financial

:12:31. > :12:34.problems. It has two agree a deal moving forward to save some of it

:12:35. > :12:41.financial problems. It relies very heavily on those international

:12:42. > :12:45.students. As we heard in that report, it has also got some

:12:46. > :12:48.staffing issues with unions threatening to go on strike and

:12:49. > :12:53.asking for the resignation of the Vice Chancellor. However, in the

:12:54. > :12:57.last few minutes, I have been speaking to one of the men in charge

:12:58. > :13:00.of funding universities in Wales and his point very clearly was that they

:13:01. > :13:07.are keen to look after those students currently enrolled at

:13:08. > :13:11.Glyndwr University. He said that some solution needs to be found to

:13:12. > :13:15.ensure the future of higher education in north-east Wales.

:13:16. > :13:23.However, what that will look like, aims to be seen.

:13:24. > :13:25.Still to come in the programme: Could your bin collection be

:13:26. > :13:27.sponsored? The council considering new ways to raise cash.

:13:28. > :13:30.And after 50 years on dry land, the world?s oldest surviving inshore

:13:31. > :13:47.The number of large scale solar parks could double in Wales.

:13:48. > :13:49.Most big solar parks are found on farmland,

:13:50. > :13:53.The largest project yet in Wales is in front of Flintshire

:13:54. > :13:56.councillors in a few weeks time, with a developer seeking approval

:13:57. > :13:58.to place up to a 180,000 photovoltaic panels on fields where

:13:59. > :14:02.Our environment correspondent Iolo ap Dafydd looks at how land is being

:14:03. > :14:05.used, and why green fields are more attractive for the developers.

:14:06. > :14:08.Just behind the Deeside industrial estate, these fields at the moment

:14:09. > :14:12.Instead of growing potatoes and leeks, some 220 acres here could

:14:13. > :14:16.a very big solar farm, there could be

:14:17. > :14:21.All that depends of course on approval by Flintshire County

:14:22. > :14:23.Council and it also raises the question whether this is

:14:24. > :14:31.the best use of land, which at the moment is actually producing food?"

:14:32. > :14:33.Stuart Banks says he isn't opposed to solar energy,

:14:34. > :14:36.and is keen to place photovoltaic panels to generate power for

:14:37. > :14:41.electricity on his own farm near the Broughton Airbus factory nearby.

:14:42. > :14:50.But he's less sure if that should be done on productive farm land.

:14:51. > :14:59.I have got land that is not as productive as this. It is heavier

:15:00. > :15:03.and it would lend itself better to solar than actually agriculture.

:15:04. > :15:06.The developers didn't want to be interviewed as a decision

:15:07. > :15:07.by Flintshire planning councillors is expected soon.

:15:08. > :15:09.Further south, there are far more solar planning applications.

:15:10. > :15:12.Wales's newest ?15 million solar park site started generating

:15:13. > :15:18.power last month, on a former industrial site near Port Talbot.

:15:19. > :15:27.This was a perfect location within a Brownfield site with a great grid

:15:28. > :15:32.connection on the site. The key difference is that there is a lot

:15:33. > :15:34.more work to do to get the Brownfield site ready for any form

:15:35. > :15:38.of development. Green fields are cheaper to build

:15:39. > :15:41.industrial sized solar parks, and that's part of the reason why so

:15:42. > :15:44.many developers target rural areas. There are 18 large operational sites

:15:45. > :15:47.in Wales currently producing 156 megawatt of energy, with twice

:15:48. > :15:49.as many either being built or in the planning process, which

:15:50. > :15:57.could double the amount of energy Developers argue solar photovoltaic

:15:58. > :16:04.panels are in place for up to 25 years, but animals

:16:05. > :16:14.could still graze the land. Developers to say and have provided

:16:15. > :16:18.pictures of sheep grazing underneath but I have yet to see that in the

:16:19. > :16:25.developments that have been completed in Carmarthenshire.

:16:26. > :16:28.The UK Government is consulting to cut subsidies for solar schemes over

:16:29. > :16:32.Three times as much energy from these PV panels is being generated

:16:33. > :16:36.It may be a financial decision rather than how

:16:37. > :16:39.we use land, that could slow the increase of big solar projects.

:16:40. > :16:42.A pledge to get more women represented in public life has

:16:43. > :16:44.been signed by the Assembly, Welsh Ministers and local authorities.

:16:45. > :16:46.Currently, only 9% of council leaders and 27%

:16:47. > :16:49.The Assembly's Presiding Officer says it's important women start

:16:50. > :16:59.making the decisions, rather than implementing them.

:17:00. > :17:04.What we are trying to do is to encourage people to show them they

:17:05. > :17:06.have the skills so they can do it and bringing women together who have

:17:07. > :17:12.done it, who have actually been there, winning achieving in a men's

:17:13. > :17:13.world. I think once people have role models, they will think, maybe I can

:17:14. > :17:17.do it. The logo for the NATO summit,

:17:18. > :17:20.which is being held in Newport in September,

:17:21. > :17:22.has been unveiled in Brussels. It features the city's iconic

:17:23. > :17:24.Transporter Bridge, along with a castle, a dragon and a Celtic knot,

:17:25. > :17:27.to reflect Wales' diverse heritage. It'll be used

:17:28. > :17:29.around the summit venues and will be seen by thousands of delegates,

:17:30. > :17:35.including President Obama. Now we've heard plenty in recent

:17:36. > :17:38.months about Welsh councils having But now it seems they are also

:17:39. > :17:42.looking at ways in which they In Wrexham, ideas being looked

:17:43. > :17:46.at include putting advertising billboards on libraries

:17:47. > :17:48.and finding shirt sponsors The council says it's a case

:17:49. > :18:04.of every pound they make is In sport they learned long ago they

:18:05. > :18:08.could add value from sponsorship. These days, it is logos everywhere

:18:09. > :18:14.you look. But what about selling advertising space on a street litter

:18:15. > :18:20.picker 's shirt? It is one of the ideas being looked at by reckoning

:18:21. > :18:26.as Wrexham Council. The council has to save ?45 million and it is

:18:27. > :18:30.already making some difficult and unpopular decisions. The philosophy

:18:31. > :18:36.is every pound it can generate is a pound it does not have to cut.

:18:37. > :18:42.Adverts have already been sold on roundabouts in Wrexham. Other ideas

:18:43. > :18:46.including building a solar farm. Residents we spoke to back this new

:18:47. > :18:51.commercial minded approach. I think it is a good idea. There are so many

:18:52. > :18:56.cut acts, anyway they can make money has got to be good. I am all for it.

:18:57. > :19:01.If they can actually save money or put money back into the coffers,

:19:02. > :19:09.please do it. As commercial manager at Wrexham football club Steve Cook

:19:10. > :19:13.knows all about it. Daily using meetings thinking up new ways of

:19:14. > :19:18.thinking up income and it is not easy. It is challenging sometimes.

:19:19. > :19:22.If you offer a good service and a product and people can see there is

:19:23. > :19:26.a good return on investment, will put their money into something, if

:19:27. > :19:29.they can see value when something. There has got to be a return from

:19:30. > :19:37.their local audience or target market. A bit like in cricket where

:19:38. > :19:42.you say you have to make a century out of singles, I think there are a

:19:43. > :19:49.lot of ideas that on their own make vast sums of money but actually

:19:50. > :19:53.adding up, could make a significant difference. It is about changing the

:19:54. > :20:02.mindset that the council. It is certainly a shifting ideology. The

:20:03. > :20:07.way that councils go about their business is changing.

:20:08. > :20:10.It's been confirmed that the Wales rugby player Owen Williams has

:20:11. > :20:12.suffered a significant injury to his spinal cord and the vertebrae

:20:13. > :20:16.The Cardiff Blues centre was injured during a match in Singapore, and

:20:17. > :20:18.remains in hospital there, after surgery to stabilise a fracture.

:20:19. > :20:21.Today his family, who are at his bedside, thanked everyone

:20:22. > :20:30.Spend a few minutes on social media sites and the support and concern

:20:31. > :20:33.for Owen Williams is obvious. His team-mates and family are

:20:34. > :20:36.encouraging supporters to stay strong. The Twenty20 old centre

:20:37. > :20:41.suffered a serious injury playing for the Cardiff Blues in Singapore.

:20:42. > :20:47.He was stretchered from the field and taken to hospital. Surgeons

:20:48. > :20:52.operated on Monday to stabilise a fracture of his spine. Today the

:20:53. > :20:58.Cardiff Blues confirmed he had suffered a severe injury to his

:20:59. > :21:03.spinal column. He also injured his spinal-cord which runs through the

:21:04. > :21:08.vertebrae. In 2010, Scottish international Thom Evans suffered a

:21:09. > :21:11.similar injury in a six Nations match at the millennium Stadium. He

:21:12. > :21:16.made a full recovery after surgery after the unit -- after surgery at

:21:59. > :22:01.the afternoon in Cardiff modelling a new range of suits for the Welsh

:22:14. > :22:18.be some good news over the next two days. Our thoughts are with him and

:22:54. > :22:56.the first time in half a century. It was back in the 1960s that staff

:22:57. > :22:59.and students at Atlantic College in the Vale of Glamorgan, came up

:23:00. > :23:03.with the iconic design for the Rigid For years, their original

:23:04. > :23:06.vessel was thought lost. But today it embarked

:23:07. > :23:08.on a celebratory voyage. 6am, high tide at Llantwit Major,

:23:09. > :23:15.and after months of careful planning, the crew of Atlantic

:23:19. > :23:24.the way for the Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats that are

:23:25. > :23:29.so commonplace on our seas today. The RNLI has been using RIBS

:23:30. > :23:33.since the 1970s and a modern version of the boat accompanied

:23:34. > :23:44.its predecessor on today's voyage. This historic vessel set the

:23:45. > :23:48.blueprint for one of the most successful designs of the last

:23:49. > :23:50.century and it all began in the Vale of Glamorgan nearly 50 years ago.

:23:51. > :23:54.In the late 1960s, the staff and students of Atlantic College

:23:55. > :23:57.They were inspired by their headmaster, a former engineer

:23:58. > :24:00.in the Royal Navy, who set them the challenge of designing a vessel

:24:01. > :24:06.The result was this - the world's first inflatable boat,

:24:07. > :24:19.It is very easy to carry the boats into the water. They can be launched

:24:20. > :24:24.from exposed situations on beaches and Rocky slipways.

:24:25. > :24:27.The College sold the patent to the RNLI for just ?1.

:24:28. > :24:29.That led to the development of inshore lifeboats and naval

:24:30. > :24:34.But the original RIB, that sparked it all off, was thought lost.

:24:35. > :24:37.Then, two years ago, it was discovered by chance in a storage

:24:38. > :24:40.After it was given back to the college, the students began

:24:41. > :24:52.It was covered in many layers of paint and barnacles. When it first

:24:53. > :24:57.arrived, we had to scrape all of those fine sand it down. We had to

:24:58. > :24:59.check the integrity of the wood. We had to make sure it was not rotting

:25:00. > :25:03.from within. With the vessel ship shape again,

:25:04. > :25:06.there was the question A former college student

:25:07. > :25:09.provided the answer. He was preparing an exhibition all

:25:10. > :25:12.about Ribs at the De La Warr Pavilion in East Sussex and wanted

:25:13. > :25:22.the prototype to take centre stage It would be a bit boring to take it

:25:23. > :25:24.there on a trolley behind a car. Why don't we take it there and how it is

:25:25. > :25:33.meant to be taken, on the water? And this morning,

:25:34. > :25:35.with perfect weather conditions, It will take around 10 days to get

:25:36. > :25:40.there, and the once the exhibition's over, this vessel will return home

:25:41. > :25:43.to Atlantic College, where it will inspire a new generation

:25:44. > :25:54.of pioneering boat builders. It looks to me as if the weather

:25:55. > :25:59.could be starting to turn. Have we seen the last of the sunshine? Not

:26:00. > :26:04.quite but there is a change on the way. There is more dry and warm

:26:05. > :26:10.weather to come tomorrow but rain is on the way. Heavy showers and

:26:11. > :26:19.thunderstorms on Friday. Today felt less humid than recently but still

:26:20. > :26:23.nice and warm. Late this afternoon, a few showers broke out in the North

:26:24. > :26:31.West. But for most of us, it is a fine end of the day. Dry overnight

:26:32. > :26:35.as well. Some clouds but mild. Lowest temperatures typically 12

:26:36. > :26:41.Celsius. This is the picture for ATM tomorrow. The whole country dry.

:26:42. > :26:48.Maybe cloudy in the far north and Llandudno first thing. The sunshine

:26:49. > :26:55.may be a bit hazy. Feeling pleasantly warm. During the day,

:26:56. > :26:58.more dry weather to come. Spells of hazy sunshine. In the south and

:26:59. > :27:04.south-west, rain is expected later in the afternoon. Top temperatures

:27:05. > :27:11.21 Celsius. Tomorrow evening, rain will move north. Some of it heavy.

:27:12. > :27:17.Turning drier in the south and west overnight. Friday, low pressure over

:27:18. > :27:24.southern Britain and that means much more unsettled weather. Outbreaks of

:27:25. > :27:29.rain on Friday. Some bright spells in the south but also showers. Heavy

:27:30. > :27:36.downpours in places with a risk of thunderstorms. Saturday, more

:27:37. > :27:39.showers. However, the North may stay dry and bright and the South and

:27:40. > :27:43.West should brighten up during the afternoon and evening. Sunday a

:27:44. > :27:48.better day with sunny spells. A few scattered showers. Temperatures

:27:49. > :27:53.lower than recently. The pollen count is lower as well. The gardens

:27:54. > :28:04.are in for a watering later tomorrow and Friday but it is not all bad

:28:05. > :28:09.news for the weekend. Thank you very much. That is it from

:28:10. > :28:12.us. We are back at 8:30pm and the late bulletin is at 11:40pm. Good

:28:13. > :28:17.night.
