Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
An investigation into police failings finds no criminal conduct. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
One of the men wrongly jailed says he isn't surprised. | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
I just want to relax now. It has gone on 26 years, no one is going to | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
get the blame. After a Jehovah's witness elder is | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
jailed for sex abuse, one of his victims says she feels | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
let down by the Church. They were not willing to come | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
forward, to give support, me and my family had no support from the | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
elders after this was all reported and it is those type of things that | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
have got to change. Paying more for fizzy, | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
sugary drinks. New research suggests | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
a tax could make us healthier. If you thought life was good | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
for those born in the 1950s, research shows people were worse | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
off than those who started work And the slate industry in Wales has | :01:01. | :01:14. | |
seen some ups and downs in recent years but surely none more than | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
this. An investigation into eight former | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
and serving South Wales Police officers who re-examined | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
the original inquiry into Lynette White's murder in Cardiff 26 years | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
ago has found no criminal conduct. Ms White was killed in 1988 | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
and three men were wrongly convicted This latest report was carried out | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
by Devon and Cornwall Police after Britain's biggest police | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
corruption case collapsed back in 2011 amid allegations | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
of perjury and conspiracy. I am not angry any more. It is | :01:52. | :02:07. | |
pointless. Anger does not get you anywhere. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Not angry but frustrated by yet another report | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
which still leaves what he believes are unanswered questions. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Tony Parris is one of the original Cardiff Three - | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
men wrongly convicted and jailed for the murder of Lynette White. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Back on Valentine's Day 1988, Miss White, who was 20 at the time, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
was found murdered in this Butetown flat. | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
Despite reports of a white man seen fleeing the scene, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
It wasn't until 1992 that Tony Parris, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Yusef Abdulahi and Stephen Miller had their convictions quashed. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Advances in DNA finally led to the arrest | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
After that a new inquiry was launched into what went wrong with | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
Eight former South Wales officers were charged with perverting | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the course of justice - the biggest case of its kind | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
However, their trial collapsed when it was thought evidence files | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
The missing paperwork later turned up. | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
Following the collapse of the trial, a large number of complaints were | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
made against South Wales Police. The Devon and force were asked to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
investigate perjury, conspiracy and other allegations of misconduct. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Today, the operation published their findings and most were -- of the | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
complaints were rejected. The report concluded there was no evidence of | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
criminality or misconduct by officers, although did recommend 34 | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
different areas in which South Wales Police could improve their | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
procedures in future. South Wales Police said the report reflected the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
good faith and professional leadership with which officers | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
approached the important investigation into the earlier | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
police enquiry. The Police and Crime Commissioner says the report's | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
findings are reassuring and points the finger for the collapse of the | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
trial to the prosecutors. The question is one for the Crown | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Prosecution Service. A highly critical report from the inspector, | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
I am not sure what has happened as a result of that, and that is where | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
the questioning should live. The total cost of trials, quashed | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
convictions and investigations is tens of millions of pounds. But for | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
the men, it is another report that has failed to give them the answers | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
they were looking for. I was not surprised. I don't expect anything | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
from the system. They just look after themselves. I just want to | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
relax now, it has gone on 26 years, no one is going to get the blame. It | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
is obvious someone is to blame. More than a quarter of a century on, the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
truth about what happened has long been established but the conduct of | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the police investigation is still under scrutiny. Lawyers for those | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
wrongly jailed are still hoping the Home Secretary will order a judicial | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
review. Also today, the Home Secretary, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Theresa May, has announced a new chair to lead the review into | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
how the police handled the murder The private investigator | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
from Cwmbran was killed with No-one has been convicted | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
of his murder. Baroness Nuala O'Loan, a former | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Police Ombudsman for Northern Plans for the National Grid to | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
develop power lines to link up with new energy projects in North Wales | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
have been delayed. Cables are needed to connect | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Anglesey's planned new Wylfa nuclear power station and offshore | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
windfarms with the grid. Some residents want | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
the cables to run under the sea National Grid says it wants to | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
ensure it takes There are calls for a specialist | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
unit to be set up in Wales The most seriously ill patients | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
have to travel to England for treatment and the Cwtched campaign | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
group say that's impractical. The Welsh Government says it's | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
pledged an extra ?250,000 a year to improve specialist | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
services but accepts a small number will need care only available | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
in a few centres across the UK. The baby boomers, the generation who | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
started work in the mid 1970s, They may have pensions that younger | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
people wouldn't even dream of and bought cheaper houses, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
but they're actually worse off than those who got | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
their first job in the mid 1990s. Our economics correspondent | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Sarah Dickins has been looking The late 50s, a time of change. | :06:45. | :07:03. | |
Household gadgets, cars for the masses and optimism. Once the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
children of that era reached adult hood in the 1970s, there was plenty | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
of work. But now we learn that in every community across Wales, there | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
is a sharp difference in living standards between workers two | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
decades apart. We have brought together to people who work in the | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
same department at Bridgend Council. When you join the public sector, it | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
was the civil service, it felt like you were joining a family. There was | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
a strong union presence so the pace of things changed very slowly. Very | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
quickly, your colleagues told you what the expectation was and if you | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
did a good job, you were sound. I basically work for the public | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
sector but I have had a succession of fixed term contract jobs which | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
tend to be three years at a time and then you have got to get the next | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
one. The research looked at the wages of | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
21-year-olds in the mid-70s and the mid 90s and how they have changed. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
The conclusion, the 90s generation were 40% bracket wrath. And the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
development of technology brought new ways of working and highly | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
skilled jobs and that is why younger workers are generally paid more. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
I am the first one of my family to get a degree. That is a funny one | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
because my parents encouraged me to leave without A-levels and there was | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
nobody in our family, nobody knew who went to university. But many | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
younger workers are already in debt before they even start. I was the | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
last of the student grants. By the time I was in the third year, | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
becoming in did not have a grant and they were first student loans. They | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
were the first ones to come with that debt from university. And for | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
the older workers, there are some advantages. With the pension as | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
well, when you got to the end, you did not do too bad. Your pension is | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
great, isn't it? OK, it is fantastic. While pensions like that | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
are dying out, the comfort for people like Mark is that they are | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
earning more while they are working. Sarah joins me now. What else does | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
this research tell us? There is fascinating information in | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
there. If you live in Wales and work in Wales you are going to earn less | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
than if you cross the board. If you live in Newport and work in Bristol | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
or Colwyn Bay and work in Chester, you will earn a third more than if | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
you live and work here. There is a lot of discussion about the richest | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and poorest in the UK. For the first time, we have got these figures for | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Wales and the lowest 1% are paid ?5 an hour. The highest paid ?40 an | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
hour, that is eight times as much, but something that is really | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
different from the UK as a whole, in the UK as a whole, the top earners | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
are people like chief -- chief executives, managing directors, in | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Wales we see a really different picture, which is very interesting. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
The Tom 1% in Wales are much likely to be paid for by the taxpayer | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
because they are likely to be GPs and hospital consultants. A very | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
different picture. Thank you very much. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
There will be a direct rail link between North Wales and Liverpool | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
to be upgraded. The Welsh Secretary David Jones says the ?10 million | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
The Welsh Secretary David Jones says the ?10 million investment will give | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
people living in North Wales better access to job and education | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Shoplifters in North Wales will be given details of food banks | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
after evidence from the police force suggests offences are being | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Officers will pass on the locations of food banks | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
It's part of plans to crackdown on shoplifting in the area. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
A 20% tax on fizzy, sugary drinks could help more than 20,000 people | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
in Wales to lose weight, according to research for Plaid Cymru. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
The study estimates the tax could raise ?45 million a year, | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
which the party would use to help employ a thousand extra doctors. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Here's our political reporter, James Williams. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
For decades, the Corona man delivered pop to | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
The fizzy drinks company was a Welsh success story - part | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
of the cultural brew - and it all began in a small factory in Porth | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
The doors may have closed on the former Corona factory | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
but fizzy drinks remain a firm fixture in Welsh life. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
But because of their high sugar content, | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
drinking fizzy drinks regularly has been shown to increase the risk | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
So, an idea off the Plaid Cymru policy | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
production line is to introduce a pop tax to tackle the issue. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Research commissioned by the party shows that a 20% tax on | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
the price of fizzy drinks could cut the number of people in Wales who | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
are obese by some 8,000 people and the overweight by more than 13,000. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
It's a policy that could raise up to ?45 | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
million a year, but the study warns that the extra tax is likely to hit | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Plaid's set its stall out, so we took ours to the people of Porth. | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
Would they pay 20% more for their pop? | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
Yes, definitely. With childhood obesity on the increase and also the | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
fizzy bubbles, they can stop you absorbing calcium as well. We have | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
had information for long enough and if parents don't act on it, perhaps | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
it is time for a more intrusive move. It is laden with sugar so I | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
guess so but if it is taken out of the reach of people who drink it | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
price-wise, it is a hard one to call. | :13:03. | :13:03. | |
Mixed views on a policy Plaid Cymru announced in its conference last | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
October, but now they're confident their idea will sell. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
You put a level of taxation on drinks which have sugar added to | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
them to reduce consumption and also provide a revenue stream to the | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
Welsh Exchequer that can fund a thousand new doctors for Wales over | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
the next ten years. But Plaid concedes that | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
the money would only go some way towards paying the salaries | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
of 1,000 new doctors, Regardless, Labour says | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
the plan makes no sense. The soft drinks industry says | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
the tax won't deliver the intended health benefits | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
and others say politicians should This is a complete case of nanny | :13:37. | :13:51. | |
state. I am sure the people of Wales are intelligent enough to make their | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
own decisions on what they spend their hard earned cash on. The last | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
thing we need is politicians in Cardiff Bay telling them what they | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
can do with their salaries at the end of the week. | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
Celebrating the fizz in its bottles was how Corona sold | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
its product and Plaid Cymru thinks it has the winning formula to ensure | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
The Royal couple pay tribute to those who've lost | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
their lives working underground at the Welsh coal mining memorial. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
And the first ever underground trampoline. | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
The man behind it wants to make North Wales the adventure | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
A woman who was abused by her uncle, a Jehovah's witness elder, has | :14:28. | :14:39. | |
waived her legal right to anonymity to speak out about her anger at the | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Karen Morgan from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan says she spoke out | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
about the abuse but the church failed to act on her complaint. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Yesterday, Mark Sewell was jailed for 14 years for a string | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
of sexual offences against women and girls, including one of rape. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
She is putting her life back together but Karen Morgan says she | :15:00. | :15:15. | |
is still struggling to come to terms with what happened to her as a | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
child. I really was more naive, I would say, than other girls my age, | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
which is how he was able to groom me and he was able to do it very easily | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
within the congregation. 53 old Mark Sewell was jailed for 14 years | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
yesterday after being convicted of aid sexual offences against women | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
and girls. Born and brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, the church was | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
the family's life and so when the abuse began, it was to the church | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
they turned. What Karen went through as a result she now says is harder | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
to deal with than the abuse itself. Those group of elders who sat me as | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
a child in front of a guy who had been abusing me for years and | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
expected me to talk about it in front of him and he him calling me a | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
liar, I mean, I think that has probably had the most effect on the | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
rest of my life because what he did to me I have had to try to deal | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
with, but I have also had to try and deal with the fact of how the whole | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
thing was handled. It is that part that I am just, I want answers for | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
that. Today a spokesman for the congregation in Barry said that | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
because these offences happened 20 years ago, no one there now knew of | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Mark Sewell. But in a statement from the organisation in London, they say | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
Mark Sewell was expelled over 20 years ago. He has not served in any | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
position of authority since then. When any Jehovah's Witness is | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
accused of serious wrongdoing, the matter is investigated. They say | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
victims are never forced to attend a meeting or confront an alleged | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
perpetrator of child abuse and procedures are in place to help | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
protect children. Karen has no regrets about waving her right to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
anonymity. She has already been contacted by dozens of people | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
thanking her for speaking out. I am so glad that he has been brought to | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
account and I am glad that me coming forward has helped and inspired | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
other people and I honestly never expected that. She is now looking | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
forward and wants changes made in the future to protect children. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
A candlelit vigil is being held in Denbigh later for | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
a 73-year-old man who's gone missing on the Greek island of Crete. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Arthur Jones, seen here in a home video, hasn't | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
been seen since June 19th, two days after he arrived on holiday. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
He sent a postcard telling his family he was planning | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
The Denbigh community has come together to raise money | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
for his family who are in Crete to help with the search for Mr Jones. | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
We will be selling candles for a pound and there will also be a book | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
of hope which people can write messages of support to the family. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
The response has been absolutely overwhelming for what we started off | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
doing. Everybody wants to find him, everybody wants to support the | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
family also. The vigil will take place at eight | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
o'clock this evening at the Angel War Memorial | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
in Denbigh town centre. "We owe such a debt of gratitude" - | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
the words of Prince Charles today as he laid a wreath at the Welsh | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
coal mining memorial. As part of their annual tour | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
of Wales, the Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall were visiting | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Senghenydd, where 440 men The hooter at Senghenydd | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
sounded three times this morning They met political leaders | :18:47. | :18:57. | |
at the start of their visit to The Prince and Duchess had wanted to | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
come when it was opened last year, but their diaries hadn't allowed | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
them to do so. It is an explosion, he says to me. | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
It is an explosion. In 1913, Senghenydd was the scene | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
of the worst mining disaster 440 men and boys perished | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
after a huge explosion underground. Today, the Prince laid a wreath | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
and paid his respects to them and to They were shown tiles commemorating | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
the names of those who died They were surprised, I think, at the | :19:34. | :19:45. | |
ages and the number of Jones on the tiles. I think they appreciated the | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
value of mining communities, the value of the miners, in creating | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
communities within Wales. The Royal couple also met local | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
school children and several descendants of the men | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
who died in the 1913 disaster. My mother and my grandparents would | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
have been absolutely over the moon. This has been achieved. When I grew | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
up in this valley, I just wondered why there were so many women who did | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
not have husbands and it did not occur to me that they had all been | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
killed in this explosion. It is lovely that they took time out to | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
come at here to appreciate what we have done to the memorial and it was | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
very moving. Later, the Prince moved | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
on to hear about plans to restore the 15th century Llwyn Celyn | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
farmstead near Abergavenny. Their tour | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
of Wales comes to an end tomorrow. The new football season starts for | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
three Welsh Premier Clubs tonight as Aberystwyth, Airbus UK and | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
Bangor play in the first qualifying Airbus's match against FK Haugesund | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
from Norway is underway - the first leg being played | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
at Nantporth in Bangor. Meanwhile, Bangor City themselves | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
travel to Iceland to face Stjarnan. Aberystwyth will make history | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
tonight when they make their debut in | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
the competition away at Derry City. The former Wales and Lions player | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Gerald Davies has confirmed he will not be seeking re-election to | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
the board of the Welsh Rugby Union. At an EGM last month, | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
the 69-year-old expressed his dissatisfaction with the union, | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
saying it was not held In a letter to the member clubs, | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
he says he made his decision with The WRU has thanked him | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
for his contribution. Cricket, and Glamorgan are | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
in the middle of a hectic schedule. After losing their championship | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
match to Worcestershire yesterday, they're playing Middlesex tonight | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
in the T20 Blast and are home to Somerset tomorrow | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
night in the same competition. Middlesex won the toss | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
and elected to bat. There?s commentary now on | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
Radio Wales Sport. It was once a large slate mine | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
in the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, but now a cavern twice the size | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
of St Paul's Cathedral is home to the world's first underground | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
trampoline. It's even been described | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
as the most fun place on Earth. Matthew Richards has | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
been to find out why. Originally designed | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
in France to hang between trees, this is the first time trampolines | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
have been installed below ground. Suspended in a cavern twice | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
the size of St Paul's Cathedral, the three nets can hold up to 100 | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
people and are connected by slides and ladders to give | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
a whole new perspective to caving. Celebrity gossip columnist | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Perez Hilton has called this The man behind the project, | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
who's already built one of the world?s longest zipwires | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
nearby is determined to make the whole of North Wales the | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
adventure playground of the world. There is a definite in how people | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
are seeing tourism, they realise what an important part it is of our | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
economy, and it is massively rewarding me. Is it about looking | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
differently at our environment and how we look at it? Sure, you have | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
got to think about being unique and having a world-class product. | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
Having the idea is one thing, actually executing it is another. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
It took several years to prepare the space | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
Because the nets are usually put up in trees, we had to get the anchor | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
points, so we had to clean every inch of the ceiling, both walls, the | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
floor, I think the only thing is that you can straight down through | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
the nets so if you are at the top level, you have got about 60 feet of | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
fresh air and any few. This is a very surreal experience. | :23:44. | :23:59. | |
There are people bouncing above me and below me. | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
Among the first to try it out, Cara and Enllys were impressed. | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
It is an amazing experience to have something like this in our local | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
town. How did you find it? It is amazing. | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
North West Wales will soon have a surfing centre to add to | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
the existing mountain bike course, zipwire, | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
Sightseeing in Snowdonia has never been so energetic. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
Before the weather, take a look at this. | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
It's been dubbed the flower tower and was built | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
by retired steel worker Edward Hayes in his back garden in Newport. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
It's nearly 30 foot high and takes him three hours to water. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
He says he thinks it's a one-off and built it | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
because he had some spare steel and says he may not stop at this. | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
If I get rid of this, I will build one little bit bigger which is | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
easier for me to climb inside it. There is a spiral staircase inside | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
this one but not enough new to drag anything out with me so I have two | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
pull all the plants away from the top. I will build one bit bigger. | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
So will the rain be watering our plants over the next few days? | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
We do have some rain in the forecast this evening. It will be cloudy | :25:17. | :25:31. | |
overnight when we will see the rain approaching from the West. We have | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
had bits and pieces of rain but they will fizzle out. We will see a band | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
of more organised rain making its way in from the west. Overnight | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
temperatures on the mild side. The breeze picks up ahead of the front | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
as well. Low pressure in charge of our weather over the coming days, | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
feeding in this cold weather front which is going to bring the rain | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
tomorrow and keep things rather unsettled through the weekend. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
Tomorrow morning, a windy start but we do have our breaks of rain. We | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
will see more persistent rain in the afternoon. It will feel fresher | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
tomorrow. Temperatures between 16 and 19 Celsius. Tomorrow night, that | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
rain band will continue. It is in the overnight period we will start | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
to see something a bit drier for Pembrokeshire and Anglesey. The rest | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
of the country will be underneath the cloud and rain. It will remain | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
breezy into the early hours of Saturday morning. That rain band | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
will clear through behind and it will start to feel fresher but it is | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
sunny by the time we get the afternoon. Just a few showers, one | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
or two be pokey. And it is quite a breezy day. I bit of an unsettled | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
weekend. By the time we get into Sunday, more in the way of showers. | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Mendes is unsettled as well but I am hopeful that high pressure will take | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
charge again by the middle of next week and we will see more dry and | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
sunny weather heading our way. Today's picture is a beautiful | :27:10. | :27:10. | |
scene. An investigation | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
into eight former and serving police officers who re-examined | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
the original inquiry into Lynette White's murder in Cardiff | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
has found no criminal conduct. Three men were wrongly convicted | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
of her murder. We'll have a quick update | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
at 8.30pm this evening, then more For now, from all of us here, | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
have a good evening. | :27:40. | :27:43. |
