:00:27. > :00:31.baby-sitter boyfriend, has been found guilty of killing Alfie

:00:32. > :00:33.Sullock. He was looking at Alfie for just two hours while his mother had

:00:34. > :00:40.her first night out following his birth. The jury at Newport Crown

:00:41. > :00:44.Court found Pierce Welty of manslaughter, but not guilty of

:00:45. > :00:48.murder. They had been waiting inside and

:00:49. > :00:53.outside Newport Crown Court for over a week now, and agonising wait free

:00:54. > :01:04.verdict and justice for Alfie. Throughout the -- trial, his mother

:01:05. > :01:08.held onto his dummy. He was left in the care of Michael K Pearce, who

:01:09. > :01:12.she had known for only a few months. During that evening, he suffered

:01:13. > :01:16.fatal injuries. Rossa Keating counsel told the jury that in all

:01:17. > :01:21.probability, Michael Pearce had beaten Alfie with a shoe, and the

:01:22. > :01:25.bottom of a plastic bottle. He said there was a distinctive pattern from

:01:26. > :01:30.the soul of that shoe in bruising on the baby's body. This was not a

:01:31. > :01:34.moment of exasperation, he said, but a case where the baby had ten

:01:35. > :01:40.separate injuries. After nearly 36 hours of deliberation, over eight

:01:41. > :01:46.days, the jury found Michael Pearce not guilty of murder, but guilty of

:01:47. > :01:51.manslaughter. The defendant said he had no idea how Alfie came by his

:01:52. > :01:54.injuries. Pearce says he left Alfie for 30 seconds where we went to the

:01:55. > :01:57.toilet and noticed the child had stopped breathing on his return. We

:01:58. > :02:01.are disappointed and today's verdict. We are satisfied he is

:02:02. > :02:03.going to prison for what he has done. What he has done. Whatever

:02:04. > :02:08.centres he will get, it will never be long enough for taking Alfie's

:02:09. > :02:12.life away. We have been through a year of absolute hell. Tam McGraw

:02:13. > :02:16.had been baby-sitting Alfie last August while Donna went out for her

:02:17. > :02:19.first night out since giving birth. While out for the drink, she

:02:20. > :02:27.repeatedly textured him to find Alfie was. He sent a photo message

:02:28. > :02:31.at 8:19pm, and Donna replied, has he been crying? His face looks really

:02:32. > :02:35.read? Pearce replied, he has had a little wind, he's fine now,

:02:36. > :02:41.sleeping, don't worry. Ten macro text Donna again at 20:43 p.m., you

:02:42. > :02:45.can trust me, you know. She texts back to ask, is he still sleeping?

:02:46. > :02:49.Pearce replies immediately, sleeping. Four minutes after sending

:02:50. > :02:56.a text, Pearce dialled 999. Paramedics arrived at the house and

:02:57. > :03:01.found Alfie blew and lifeless. He died on August 20 last year, four

:03:02. > :03:06.days after being taken to hospital. Innocent baby Alfie Sullock was

:03:07. > :03:10.killed at just six weeks old. His mother Donna and Alfie's extended

:03:11. > :03:14.family have sat throughout this trial listening to shocking evidence

:03:15. > :03:19.about the nature of his death. During an extremely emotional and

:03:20. > :03:23.upsetting time, they have handled themselves with great dignity and

:03:24. > :03:28.composure. If he had lived, Alfie would have had his first birthday

:03:29. > :03:34.earlier this month, and his mother Donna has recorded that detail

:03:35. > :03:42.forever in a tab to be along with an arm print and footprint on her leg.

:03:43. > :03:46.She whispered as she closed the book, to be usable for that. Unions

:03:47. > :03:50.are to ballot staff at Pembrokeshire County Council on a vote of

:03:51. > :03:56.no-confidence in the Jeep executive. It comes amid a fresh police

:03:57. > :03:58.investigation into unlawful pension supplements.

:03:59. > :04:04.Patients from Wales will be continue to be treated in Wales for heart

:04:05. > :04:07.surgery, following the publication of the Welsh government's first

:04:08. > :04:10.annual report on cardiac care, which save the NHS has struggled in

:04:11. > :04:14.waiting time targets. Cardiac patients are supposed to be seen

:04:15. > :04:19.within six months, but the Welsh NHS has not met that target for more

:04:20. > :04:22.than two years. Last summer, the Royal College of

:04:23. > :04:26.Surgeons issued a stark warning. Too many patients, it said, were dying

:04:27. > :04:30.in South Wales while waiting for operations. It was later confirmed

:04:31. > :04:35.that 99 patients had died during a five-year period, on waiting lists

:04:36. > :04:39.for the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and Morriston Hospital in

:04:40. > :04:42.Swansea. In an effort to tackle a backlog of the Welsh government said

:04:43. > :04:48.around 80 patients could be treated in England. This includes at a

:04:49. > :04:52.private hospital in Bristol. It is a policy originally meant to run until

:04:53. > :04:56.September, but will now be extended. I think we recognise that there is

:04:57. > :05:00.going to be a period in which we will need to continue to use

:05:01. > :05:06.facilities beyond Wales. I am absolutely clear if we need to do

:05:07. > :05:10.that, that is what we will do. So wide of the NHS here need to pay

:05:11. > :05:14.English hospitals to treat Welsh heart patients? The Welsh

:05:15. > :05:19.government's on cardiac care annual report suggests it is still

:05:20. > :05:22.struggling to keep up with demand. 95% of patients with heart

:05:23. > :05:27.conditions should start treatment within 26 weeks of referral, but

:05:28. > :05:35.that target has not been met since April 2012. Death rates continue to

:05:36. > :05:39.be almost one third higher in our poorest communities, compared to the

:05:40. > :05:45.most affluent areas. There is also a big difference in how long patients

:05:46. > :05:50.have to wait for diagnostic tests. In the Cardiff and Vale health board

:05:51. > :05:54.area, according to the report, 100% of patients had access to an ECG

:05:55. > :06:02.within eight weeks. In a neighbouring area, half of patients

:06:03. > :06:06.had to wait longer. Opposition parties say it is a worrying

:06:07. > :06:11.picture. But it is fair to say there are more encouraging signs. Your

:06:12. > :06:15.patients between 35 and 74 are dying prematurely, and emergency hospital

:06:16. > :06:17.admissions are falling. The Welsh government argues that is because

:06:18. > :06:24.GPs are doing more to tackle heart disease earlier. You have to make

:06:25. > :06:27.sure that people are trained and we also have the infrastructure, the

:06:28. > :06:31.buildings in place, the resources in place, and at a time when the

:06:32. > :06:35.economy is against that sort of development, it is not a time to

:06:36. > :06:40.stop, but a time to make sure that we do this properly and prudently,

:06:41. > :06:43.effectively and efficiently. The Welsh government says the NHS is

:06:44. > :06:49.recruiting more staff and opening up more intensive care beds so that

:06:50. > :06:53.more operations can be performed. Georgia Davies has won Wales' second

:06:54. > :06:57.swimming medal in 24-hour that the Commonwealth Games. Jazz Carlin also

:06:58. > :07:00.added a silver to her goal from last night. It was an evening where team

:07:01. > :07:05.Wales surpassed their pregames target of 27 medals.

:07:06. > :07:12.After a killed in performance yesterday, good Georgia Davies

:07:13. > :07:15.become the second person to pick up gold in the pool for Wales? Jazz

:07:16. > :07:24.Carlin had already done so last night. She was watching, nervously,

:07:25. > :07:29.willing her friend on. And in just 27.56 seconds, a new British

:07:30. > :07:33.record, Georgia became the second gold medallist for Wales in the

:07:34. > :07:36.pool. It was amazing. I can't wait to hear the Welsh national anthem

:07:37. > :07:40.again. Hearing last night for me was amazing, and it is the most

:07:41. > :07:45.passionate national anthem I have heard, and I am so pleased for her.

:07:46. > :07:47.She will be so happy with that. It was congratulations all around.

:07:48. > :07:51.Another emotional night for these good friends. That couldn't go any

:07:52. > :07:56.better. I'm really happy I lowered my time from last night. To come

:07:57. > :07:59.away with the gold, it is just everything I have been training for,

:08:00. > :08:05.all the hard work has all been worth it, and I can't wait to hear the

:08:06. > :08:10.national anthem. I can't wait. Georgette's medal came just minutes

:08:11. > :08:15.after Jazz's silver in the 400 metres. She was not as sharp as

:08:16. > :08:19.yesterday, but the quick turnaround between races took its toll. It has

:08:20. > :08:25.been an unforgettable two days for the Carling family. Her mother told

:08:26. > :08:29.her Jazz 30 spirit is the pool for months and has loved it ever since.

:08:30. > :08:35.I am so pleased for her, because all her hard work has finally paid off.

:08:36. > :08:39.And the moment when she stepped onto the podium. So emotional. I do think

:08:40. > :08:47.there was a dry eye anywhere, but we were just overcome by emotion

:08:48. > :08:50.really, and pride will. It is something we could not have dreamt

:08:51. > :08:53.of really. And there were more medals to come, this time for Daniel

:08:54. > :08:58.journalist will stop the swimmer from the combined his training with

:08:59. > :09:01.being an apprentice decorator. No doubt he will be painting the town

:09:02. > :09:07.red to night after winning bronze in the 1500 metre freestyle. Absolutely

:09:08. > :09:12.amazing, fantastic. And to see the Welsh flags as well. It is

:09:13. > :09:16.phenomenal, just an honour for me to be swimming. So, a remarkable night

:09:17. > :09:22.for team Wales, a full set of medals in the pool, with Georgia Davies

:09:23. > :09:26.claiming the biggest prize of all. So, a wonderful performance from the

:09:27. > :09:29.swimmers and Welsh gymnasts have also continued their impressive

:09:30. > :09:34.form, picking up their ninth medal of the games. The women's artistic

:09:35. > :09:37.squad took bronze in the team competition this afternoon, behind

:09:38. > :09:41.England and Australia. Earlier, the men finished fifth. There was also a

:09:42. > :09:45.first-ever medal for Wales at wrestling.

:09:46. > :09:52.Craig Pelling won a bronze model in the 57th kilogram category. And to

:09:53. > :09:59.Welsh boxers are also guaranteed at least bronze medals. Cardiff

:10:00. > :10:02.lightweight beat the New Zealander intellect's quarterfinal, and light

:10:03. > :10:05.heavyweight Nathan Thornley had a first-round victory in his

:10:06. > :10:09.quarterfinal when his opponent a bearded dislocated his shoulder.

:10:10. > :10:12.Both men will fight for a place in their respective finals on Friday.

:10:13. > :10:19.And now, the weather. Thank you very much. A change under

:10:20. > :10:22.way later this week, but in the meantime, I can promise you plenty

:10:23. > :10:25.more pine and warm weather tomorrow thanks to a ridge of high pressure.

:10:26. > :10:27.Tonight, a dry thanks to a ridge of high pressure.

:10:28. > :10:31.Tonight, a story across the country. Cloud will come and go. Some clear

:10:32. > :10:35.spells, and eight comfortable night was sleeping. The bridges in the

:10:36. > :10:40.countryside as low as 10 Celsius, warm on the coast. Tomorrow morning,

:10:41. > :10:45.nice and dry, bright, some lovely sunshine, some as well, which may

:10:46. > :10:50.just squeeze out the light shower on Anglesey. Otherwise, a dry story.

:10:51. > :10:55.Across the rest of the UK, southern and eastern parts, dry with sunny

:10:56. > :10:58.spells. Further north, a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers.

:10:59. > :11:03.Breezy in the north, lighter winds in the south, and a high of 25

:11:04. > :11:08.Celsius in London. In Glasgow tomorrow, showers are expected, a

:11:09. > :11:11.little sunshine as well. Top ten Bridge around 18 Celsius with a

:11:38. > :11:41.pressure of Ireland, and that is heading our way, meaning the weather

:11:42. > :11:45.is going to turn increasingly more unsettled later this week. Showers,

:11:46. > :11:48.some heavy and thundery, but not a total write-off. I can promise some

:11:49. > :11:49.sunshine, some heavy and thundery, but not a

:11:50. > :11:53.total write-off. I can promise some sunshine, especially on Sunday.
