First look at the morning papers on the BBC News Channel in just is | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
The family of Alfie Sullock, the six-week-old baby killed | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
by his mother's boyfriend, say they don't believe they've had justice. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Today 33-year-old Michael Pearce was jailed for nine years | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Alfie's grandfather says he's devastated. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
From Newport Crown Court, despite Nick Palit reports. | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
The relief was etched on the faces of the whole family as they left | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
court for the last time. The man responsible for killing Alfie was | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
finally convicted, sentenced and behind bars, but there is | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
frustration and anger that Michael Pearce was only found guilty of | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
manslaughter and not murder. There is a lot of disappointment, we | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
really do not feel justice has been done but it is not an acquittal, it | :01:10. | :01:23. | |
is a result basically on behalf of the family. We were devastated at | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
the spirits are high at the moment so we look forward to letting the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
baby rest in peace. Matthew -- Michael Pearce had suggested he | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
looked after Alfie while his new girlfriend Donna Sullock went out | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
for a first night since his birth but within a narrow and a half Alfie | :01:39. | :01:53. | |
had suffered catastrophic injuries. Pearce had drunk five pints of peer | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
in the pub earlier and suggested to Donna that they have a baby | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
together. She had rejected the suggestion. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Alfie died as a result of ten blows from an object, possibly a baseball | :02:02. | :02:16. | |
shoe. The judge said, you inflicted multiple injuries on him and due to | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
your denials we will never know whether you were motivated by | :02:22. | :02:21. | |
jealousy. More than 300 fires have been | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
started deliberately across Wales since the school holidays began 10 | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
days ago. That's despite warnings | :02:32. | :02:32. | |
from the emergency services that the dry, hot weather can lead to | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
them burning out of control. Grasslands blackened, the fire | :02:35. | :02:46. | |
started deliberately. Young teenagers hanging around, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
light fires and disappear, not thinking about the consequences. A | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
lot of these areas are areas of scientific interest. They take so | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
long to regenerate, to grow back, it kills the wildlife. They are | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
protected species in this area and it kills them as well. ISA -- I have | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
seen maliciously started grass fires close up already this year. The | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
smoke and smell hanging over the landscape for days but fires started | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
deliberately take other forms, this primary school left scarred last | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
night. Two teenagers have been arrested. Since the start of the | :03:48. | :04:05. | |
holidays south Wales Fire and Rescue had to tackle 208 suspect fires. The | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
total for Mid and West Wales was 103 and 22 for North Wales, 333 | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
deliberate fires in just ten days. 128 were grass fires and there were | :04:09. | :04:09. | |
39 hoax calls across Wales. Laura Thomas tries to prevent youngsters | :04:10. | :04:10. | |
from starting fires deliberately. Graphic videos are one of her tools. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
She works one-to-one with young people referred to her by the police | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
and social services. It is about helping people to think about the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
consequences of what could happen. People who do not have a lot of | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
sympathy for these young people, I can understand, but if we want to | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
prevent it happening we need to engage positively with these young | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
people and work with them rather than against them. Overall the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
number of deliberate fires is falling but emergency services say | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
they still happen too often and still have the ability to put lives | :04:52. | :04:52. | |
at risk. The wife and child | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
of a man who killed them at their family home in Gwynedd were | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
let down by mental health services, David Wyn Jones stabbed | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Suzanne Jones, who was 34, and their two-year-old son William, at their | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
home in Tremadog two years ago. He later admitted manslaughter | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
on the grounds The review said | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
agencies should have shared information more quickly, but | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
the outcome might not have changed. We need better care services | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
for adults with autism in Wales. That's the view | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
of an autism charity. It comes as the family | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
of 20-year-old Claire Dyer, from Swansea, | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
fight to stop her being moved to A court hearing will take place | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
at the end of the week. As she updates a scrapbook of time | :05:32. | :05:49. | |
spent with her daughter, Claire Dyer's mother knows it's soon will | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
become more difficult to see her eldest child. We were not able to | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
speak to Claire because she was not able to leave the Swansea unit where | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
she is being cared for but her family have given us photographs to | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
help tell the story. Claire has severe autism and for the last few | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
years she has been looked after a few short -- a short distance from | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
her home but now it has been recommended that she is moved to a | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
specialist centre several hours away. She has told everybody she | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
does not want to go that far. If she is five hours a way that is never | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
going to work. Her parents acknowledge that her behaviour can | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
be challenging and she has acute needs but moving her so far from | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
home can only make the situation worse. Autism charities say they | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
would like to see a better provision of care for autistic people in | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Wales. There are some units available but because the spectrum | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
is so wide and the needs of individuals are some effort | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
different it is difficult to pinpoint what services you can put | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
in one place. -- are so different. Claire was due to move today but her | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
family managed to get an injunction. A court hearing will take place on | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Friday to decide what happens next. At the Commonwealth Games, | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
the boxers have guaranteed at least another four medals to | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
Team Wales' tally of 27. Among those who won today was | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
defending bantamweight champion He's through to the semi-finals | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
after a split-decision win over But a disappointing day for | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Dai Greene. The defending 400 metre hurdles | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
champion didn't make it through His pre-Games preparations had | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
been badly affected by injury. Way off his best, and he is not the | :07:49. | :08:08. | |
athlete he was a couple of seasons ago. That was Dai Greene's honest | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
assessment after failing to reach the final. It was only his second | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
race of the season. The former world and European champion has struggled | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
with injuries, three hernia operations last year. A few months | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
ago I did not think I would be here. I would love to be running better | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
but I made some mistakes, it does show, and I think I was too | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
aggressive. He fears his season has finished early and does not think he | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
will compete at the European Championships next month. After a | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
difficult year for Dai Greene, disappointment in Glasgow. He will | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
not get the chance to defend his title. He has worked so hard but I | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
would just knock the season on the head and Professor next season. Four | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
years ago, different story, Wales' hurdle is 12 medals. Dai Greene's | :09:12. | :09:24. | |
stature in world at the is a shadow of what it once was. -- world | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
athletics. And another of Wales' defending | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
champions has seen Lawn bowls singles champion Robert | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Weale was beaten by Australia's Aron Sheriff, failing to make the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
last eight of men's singles. Rugby, and the BBC | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
and S4C have reached a new agreement to show Pro12 matches next season, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
as part of a four-year rights deal. The broadcasters will share | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
fixtures across the season. Scrum Five Live will show games | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
on the BBC on Fridays, and S4C will Cricket, and Glamorgan have lost to | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Nottinghamshire in the Royal London One Day Cup | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
at the Swalec Stadium. Glamorgan finished | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
their 50 overs on 227-8. But Nottinghamshire won by three | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
wickets, with nine balls remaining. This month, like June, has been | :10:06. | :10:22. | |
drier, warm and sunnier than average, but as we look ahead it | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
will turn more unsettled over the next few days, | :10:28. | :10:27. | |
will turn more unsettled over the next low pressure ringing rain and | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
showers and a slight drop in temperature. Tonight, a few showers | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
in the North, becoming more widespread later in the night. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Southern counties should stay dry and fairly warm. Tomorrow morning | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
some places will strike -- start of dry and bright. There will be | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
showers about, however, some on the heavy showers. If you are caught in | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
a shower tomorrow it could be heavy, the risk of thunder, | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
especially in Scotland, but south-east England should stay | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
largely dry. For the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow showers are | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
expected, a little sunshine, the wind lighter than today. Some | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
showers in Brecon share and Monmouthshire could be heavy but | :11:24. | :11:35. | |
some places will miss them, especially in North Wales. This area | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
of low pressure will move up across the UK over the weekend. More rain | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
and heavy showers on Saturday but Sunday should be better, more in the | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
way of dry weather and some sunshine. | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
We're back in Breakfast from six tomorrow morning. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Thank you for watching. From all of us on the programme, goodnight. | :12:02. | :12:08. |
