Wales' team at the Commonwealth Games has been rocked | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Reigning European champion Rhys Williams has been withdrawn | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
from the Commonwealth Games after failing a drugs test. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
The 400 metre hurdler, son of rugby legend JJ Williams, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
is the second Welsh athlete to miss the game is the second Welsh athlete | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
to miss the he issued a state and saying he is utterly devastated. | :00:26. | :00:47. | |
Rhys Williams is having a really difficult season. Rhys Williams did | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
not know at the time when he raced at Hampden Park in a Grand Prix in | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Glasgow earlier this month that his season was about to get even worse. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
A euro and sample he submitted after the race was found to contain a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
banned substance. He has now been suspended from all competitions, | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
including the Commonwealth Games for an anti-dumping violations. In a | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
statement, Williams says he is devastated as he had never knowingly | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
taken a banned substance. He also added he recognised the | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
responsibility for the situation lies with him. His former team-mates | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
do not think he is the sort of person to cheat the liberty. I am | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
shocked. Just as shocked as everyone else. He is a good kid. Someone I | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
know would not knowingly take drugs. It is unfortunately a situation has | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
happened. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it. In recent years, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Welsh and British athletics have developed a no excuse culture when | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
it comes to what athletes put in their own bodies. They are given | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
comprehensive information about what they can and cannot take. And the | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
advice is strict. Things like only ever jinking from sealed water | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
bottles and avoiding over the counter medicines unless they have | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
been tested in one of the official laboratories. He understands he is | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
responsible. They will have to suffer the consequences. They get | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
tested readily. They were tested, as were many athletes at that event. | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
The sports supplements will now be checked as part of the legal | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
process. One of the products he took is manufactured by a company in | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
Blaenau Gwent. It is understood company bosses are cooperating with | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
the athlete and carrying out their own tests. Sources close to the | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
company say they are confident they will be cleared of any blame. Their | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
website states their products contain no active ingredients on the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
International Olympic Committee 's band list. Rhys Williams is the | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
second senior Welsh athlete to failing drugs test in the run-up to | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
the Commonwealth Games. Gareth Warburton was also suspended last | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
week for an antique to the violation. Welsh athletics say there | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
will now be an internal investigation. We are speaking to | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
everyone involved in performance athletics in Wales and understanding | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
what risks there are there. And working with Sport Wales and Team | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Wales to make sure that if there is anything that needs to be done in | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
terms of tightening up the education. It is also the news that | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
Team Wales her hoped to avoid. They were hoping to be talking about | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
medals today. It is a tough day but we have a big team, our biggest team | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
ever and our this must validity is to support that team. They have | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
worked hard to get here. Last year, Williams was celebrating being | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
crowned European chocolate. The night, it is not clear if or when he | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
will be back on the track. Despite that story dominating | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
the headlines, Wales 15 medals on day two of the Commonwealth games. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
There were tears of joy at the rhythmic gymnastics | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
for a second night of the silver and bronze medals were won. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
And tonight, freestyle swimmer Callum Jarvis won Wales' first | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
medal in the swimming pool. After the news about Rhys Williams, | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
what Team Wales really needed today was medals and on day two, they | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
delivered. Frankie Jones already Wales most successful gymnast at the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
team silver last night claimed another in the all-round individual | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
final. Laura Halford took bronze. Both could still pick up more | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
tomorrow in what is turning into an emotional week. So glad that we can | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
give back some of the support we have been given. And this girl has | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
put so much hard work in. The whole team have been so supportive. Elaine | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Allen came agonisingly close to claiming a first Welsh gold in the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Skeet shooting. She was beaten by just one target. She till -- still | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
took silver. At one point, a new record by Matt Ellis had them on the | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
brink of the title. But strong rides from Australia and the eventual | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
winners Scotland meant they had to settle for third. Tonight, a new | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
star of Welsh swimming made a stunning debut at his first major | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
games. Callum Jarvis broke David Davies is Welsh 200 meter freestyle | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
record to claim bronze and a first medal in the summing pool for Wales. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
A bit shell-shocked. It has not really hit me yet. I am really happy | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
with that. But there was a huge shock in the boxing. Andrew Selby, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
the current world number one, was beaten in his first match. He was | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
docked points by the Turkish referee in the final round of his fight | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
because his gumshield kept falling out. That was enough for the judges | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
to award a unanimous points decision to the home favourite. | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
An investigation into allegations of hygiene failings | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
at a poultry processing factory on Anglesey has been ordered | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
It follows claims by a newspaper that safety guidelines were breached | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
at the 2 Sisters food group plant in Llangefni and Scunthorpe. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
No risk to public health has been found on the company has denied | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
The drinks industry sometimes exploits vulnerable people | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
That is according to the Health Minister Mark Drakeford. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
A group of academics have supported the Welsh Government plans to bring | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The move would affect some high-strength ciders | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
One in five children in Wales has additional learning needs. | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
And tonight there is a warning they will be worse off than their | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
counterparts in England if proposed legislation is introduced here. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
One of the UK's leading education solicitors says | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
Hayley Thomas has three children with a range of needs. Autism, a | :07:08. | :07:27. | |
heart condition and expressive are among the things they need support | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
for. She had to fight for something that is called a statement of | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
special educational needs. That outlines the needs and the support | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
the child should be given. Schools have to provide the sort that | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
support outlined in that plan. Around 12,000 children have a | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
statement in Wales. The statement is imperative to my children being able | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
to access the curriculum. I am very pleased that I managed to get all | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
three of my children the statements that they needed. I think it is very | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
difficult for parents to go through the process. It is not an easy | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
process to go through. I had to take a year off work. And even then, it | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
was a full-time job. And now there are proposals to change the system. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Currently support falls into three categories, statements, school | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
action as school action plus. The proposed changes would see all of | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
the scrapped and replaced with individual development plans. And it | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
is these plans that some say could disadvantage Wales 's most | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
vulnerable children. I think when one looks at the White Paper and you | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
compare it to what is happening in England, Welsh children are being | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
short-changed. There is not the same degree of protection existing at the | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
moment for those with special educational needs as there are in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
England. I think this White Paper is not doing anything to address that. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
There is very little understanding at the moment but personally, they | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
do not seem to have the legal status that a statement has. If you have | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
not legally got to do what is on that statement, whether it would be | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
done is questionable. The consultation ends today and the | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Welsh Government says it will respond that the appropriate time. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
People with genuine disabilities are being refused blue badges | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
for parking, following a crackdown to prevent abuse of the system. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
That is according to Liberal Democrat Assembly Member | :09:24. | :09:24. | |
Peter Black, who says he has helped several people win appeals | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Councils took over eligibility tests from GPs two years ago. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
The Welsh Government said tighter regulations ensured consistency | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Cricket and Glamorgan are through to the quarterfinals of the T20 Blast | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
Glamorgan reached the required total of 109 with eight wickets to spare. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
They will face Lancashire in the quarterfinals at Old Trafford. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
It is going to change as far as the weather is concerned. I think | :09:52. | :10:10. | |
tomorrow you can keep your shorts on. Cloudy at times with plenty of | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
sunny spells and feeling quite warm across the country. This is how it | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
will look over night to night. We could cease showers across parts of | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
south Wales. But mainly dry with clear skies. Those are the | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
temperatures at 6am tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, plenty of blue | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
skies to come across the country and light winds as well. It will cloud | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
over at times across eastern parts of the country and there is a cold | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
front approaching just hanged be bringing some cloud cover to | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and north-west Wales as well. Low | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
pressure introducing some heavy showers across parts of Scotland but | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the bulk of England and the south-east of England seeing the | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
highest temperatures. Back home and clouding over from the West but | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
again tomorrow afternoon, temperatures reaching 25 Celsius. A | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
big reason you're on the coast. Some showers being introduced across the | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
country. Temperatures tomorrow night doing 49 cell Dean -- 14 and 17 | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
Celsius. Some showers quite heavy pushing in. The best of the bright | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
weather across eastern part of the country and south Wales. Let's take | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
a look at the pressure chart. Low-pressure moving across the | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
country making things fairly and settled at times. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
From all of us on the programme, good night. | :11:48. | :12:02. | |
