:00:48. > :00:53.Rhys Williams is having a really difficult season. Rhys Williams did
:00:54. > :00:56.not know at the time when he raced at Hampden Park in a Grand Prix in
:00:57. > :01:01.Glasgow earlier this month that his season was about to get even worse.
:01:02. > :01:05.A euro and sample he submitted after the race was found to contain a
:01:06. > :01:09.banned substance. He has now been suspended from all competitions,
:01:10. > :01:16.including the Commonwealth Games for an anti-dumping violations. In a
:01:17. > :01:22.statement, Williams says he is devastated as he had never knowingly
:01:23. > :01:24.taken a banned substance. He also added he recognised the
:01:25. > :01:31.responsibility for the situation lies with him. His former team-mates
:01:32. > :01:35.do not think he is the sort of person to cheat the liberty. I am
:01:36. > :01:42.shocked. Just as shocked as everyone else. He is a good kid. Someone I
:01:43. > :01:45.know would not knowingly take drugs. It is unfortunately a situation has
:01:46. > :01:49.happened. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it. In recent years,
:01:50. > :01:54.Welsh and British athletics have developed a no excuse culture when
:01:55. > :01:56.it comes to what athletes put in their own bodies. They are given
:01:57. > :02:02.comprehensive information about what they can and cannot take. And the
:02:03. > :02:06.advice is strict. Things like only ever jinking from sealed water
:02:07. > :02:08.bottles and avoiding over the counter medicines unless they have
:02:09. > :02:15.been tested in one of the official laboratories. He understands he is
:02:16. > :02:19.responsible. They will have to suffer the consequences. They get
:02:20. > :02:27.tested readily. They were tested, as were many athletes at that event.
:02:28. > :02:31.The sports supplements will now be checked as part of the legal
:02:32. > :02:38.process. One of the products he took is manufactured by a company in
:02:39. > :02:40.Blaenau Gwent. It is understood company bosses are cooperating with
:02:41. > :02:48.the athlete and carrying out their own tests. Sources close to the
:02:49. > :02:52.company say they are confident they will be cleared of any blame. Their
:02:53. > :02:55.website states their products contain no active ingredients on the
:02:56. > :03:01.International Olympic Committee 's band list. Rhys Williams is the
:03:02. > :03:06.second senior Welsh athlete to failing drugs test in the run-up to
:03:07. > :03:08.the Commonwealth Games. Gareth Warburton was also suspended last
:03:09. > :03:13.week for an antique to the violation. Welsh athletics say there
:03:14. > :03:17.will now be an internal investigation. We are speaking to
:03:18. > :03:23.everyone involved in performance athletics in Wales and understanding
:03:24. > :03:29.what risks there are there. And working with Sport Wales and Team
:03:30. > :03:32.Wales to make sure that if there is anything that needs to be done in
:03:33. > :03:41.terms of tightening up the education. It is also the news that
:03:42. > :03:50.Team Wales her hoped to avoid. They were hoping to be talking about
:03:51. > :03:55.medals today. It is a tough day but we have a big team, our biggest team
:03:56. > :04:02.ever and our this must validity is to support that team. They have
:04:03. > :04:05.worked hard to get here. Last year, Williams was celebrating being
:04:06. > :04:08.crowned European chocolate. The night, it is not clear if or when he
:04:09. > :04:15.will be back on the track. Despite that story dominating
:04:16. > :04:17.the headlines, Wales 15 medals on day two of the Commonwealth games.
:04:18. > :04:20.There were tears of joy at the rhythmic gymnastics
:04:21. > :04:22.for a second night of the silver and bronze medals were won.
:04:23. > :04:23.And tonight, freestyle swimmer Callum Jarvis won Wales' first
:04:24. > :04:34.medal in the swimming pool. After the news about Rhys Williams,
:04:35. > :04:38.what Team Wales really needed today was medals and on day two, they
:04:39. > :04:42.delivered. Frankie Jones already Wales most successful gymnast at the
:04:43. > :04:47.team silver last night claimed another in the all-round individual
:04:48. > :04:51.final. Laura Halford took bronze. Both could still pick up more
:04:52. > :04:56.tomorrow in what is turning into an emotional week. So glad that we can
:04:57. > :05:01.give back some of the support we have been given. And this girl has
:05:02. > :05:08.put so much hard work in. The whole team have been so supportive. Elaine
:05:09. > :05:14.Allen came agonisingly close to claiming a first Welsh gold in the
:05:15. > :05:20.Skeet shooting. She was beaten by just one target. She till -- still
:05:21. > :05:30.took silver. At one point, a new record by Matt Ellis had them on the
:05:31. > :05:33.brink of the title. But strong rides from Australia and the eventual
:05:34. > :05:37.winners Scotland meant they had to settle for third. Tonight, a new
:05:38. > :05:42.star of Welsh swimming made a stunning debut at his first major
:05:43. > :05:47.games. Callum Jarvis broke David Davies is Welsh 200 meter freestyle
:05:48. > :05:53.record to claim bronze and a first medal in the summing pool for Wales.
:05:54. > :05:57.A bit shell-shocked. It has not really hit me yet. I am really happy
:05:58. > :06:02.with that. But there was a huge shock in the boxing. Andrew Selby,
:06:03. > :06:07.the current world number one, was beaten in his first match. He was
:06:08. > :06:11.docked points by the Turkish referee in the final round of his fight
:06:12. > :06:17.because his gumshield kept falling out. That was enough for the judges
:06:18. > :06:23.to award a unanimous points decision to the home favourite.
:06:24. > :06:25.An investigation into allegations of hygiene failings
:06:26. > :06:27.at a poultry processing factory on Anglesey has been ordered
:06:28. > :06:31.It follows claims by a newspaper that safety guidelines were breached
:06:32. > :06:33.at the 2 Sisters food group plant in Llangefni and Scunthorpe.
:06:34. > :06:37.No risk to public health has been found on the company has denied

:06:42. > :06:44.That is according to the Health Minister Mark Drakeford.

:06:51. > :07:00.One in five children in Wales has additional learning needs.
:07:01. > :07:03.And tonight there is a warning they will be worse off than their
:07:04. > :07:05.counterparts in England if proposed legislation is introduced here.
:07:06. > :07:07.One of the UK's leading education solicitors says
:07:08. > :07:27.Hayley Thomas has three children with a range of needs. Autism, a
:07:28. > :07:31.heart condition and expressive are among the things they need support
:07:32. > :07:36.for. She had to fight for something that is called a statement of
:07:37. > :07:39.special educational needs. That outlines the needs and the support
:07:40. > :07:44.the child should be given. Schools have to provide the sort that
:07:45. > :07:51.support outlined in that plan. Around 12,000 children have a
:07:52. > :07:55.statement in Wales. The statement is imperative to my children being able
:07:56. > :07:58.to access the curriculum. I am very pleased that I managed to get all
:07:59. > :08:04.three of my children the statements that they needed. I think it is very
:08:05. > :08:08.difficult for parents to go through the process. It is not an easy
:08:09. > :08:14.process to go through. I had to take a year off work. And even then, it
:08:15. > :08:18.was a full-time job. And now there are proposals to change the system.
:08:19. > :08:22.Currently support falls into three categories, statements, school
:08:23. > :08:26.action as school action plus. The proposed changes would see all of
:08:27. > :08:29.the scrapped and replaced with individual development plans. And it
:08:30. > :08:33.is these plans that some say could disadvantage Wales 's most
:08:34. > :08:36.vulnerable children. I think when one looks at the White Paper and you
:08:37. > :08:44.compare it to what is happening in England, Welsh children are being
:08:45. > :08:47.short-changed. There is not the same degree of protection existing at the
:08:48. > :08:52.moment for those with special educational needs as there are in
:08:53. > :08:56.England. I think this White Paper is not doing anything to address that.
:08:57. > :09:00.There is very little understanding at the moment but personally, they
:09:01. > :09:05.do not seem to have the legal status that a statement has. If you have
:09:06. > :09:09.not legally got to do what is on that statement, whether it would be
:09:10. > :09:11.done is questionable. The consultation ends today and the
:09:12. > :09:18.Welsh Government says it will respond that the appropriate time.
:09:19. > :09:20.People with genuine disabilities are being refused blue badges
:09:21. > :09:23.for parking, following a crackdown to prevent abuse of the system.
:09:24. > :09:24.That is according to Liberal Democrat Assembly Member
:09:25. > :09:27.Peter Black, who says he has helped several people win appeals
:09:28. > :09:30.Councils took over eligibility tests from GPs two years ago.
:09:31. > :09:32.The Welsh Government said tighter regulations ensured consistency
:09:33. > :09:42.Cricket and Glamorgan are through to the quarterfinals of the T20 Blast
:09:43. > :09:46.Glamorgan reached the required total of 109 with eight wickets to spare.
:09:47. > :09:51.They will face Lancashire in the quarterfinals at Old Trafford.
:09:52. > :10:10.It is going to change as far as the weather is concerned. I think
:10:11. > :10:13.tomorrow you can keep your shorts on. Cloudy at times with plenty of
:10:14. > :10:18.sunny spells and feeling quite warm across the country. This is how it
:10:19. > :10:22.will look over night to night. We could cease showers across parts of
:10:23. > :10:28.south Wales. But mainly dry with clear skies. Those are the
:10:29. > :10:31.temperatures at 6am tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, plenty of blue
:10:32. > :10:36.skies to come across the country and light winds as well. It will cloud
:10:37. > :10:40.over at times across eastern parts of the country and there is a cold
:10:41. > :10:42.front approaching just hanged be bringing some cloud cover to
:10:43. > :10:48.Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and north-west Wales as well. Low
:10:49. > :10:53.pressure introducing some heavy showers across parts of Scotland but
:10:54. > :11:01.the bulk of England and the south-east of England seeing the
:11:02. > :11:04.highest temperatures. Back home and clouding over from the West but
:11:05. > :11:12.again tomorrow afternoon, temperatures reaching 25 Celsius. A
:11:13. > :11:20.big reason you're on the coast. Some showers being introduced across the
:11:21. > :11:30.country. Temperatures tomorrow night doing 49 cell Dean -- 14 and 17
:11:31. > :11:36.Celsius. Some showers quite heavy pushing in. The best of the bright
:11:37. > :11:40.weather across eastern part of the country and south Wales. Let's take
:11:41. > :11:43.a look at the pressure chart. Low-pressure moving across the
:11:44. > :11:47.country making things fairly and settled at times.
:11:48. > :12:02.From all of us on the programme, good night.
