:02:00. > :02:08.That is a lot of disappointment. We really do not feel justice has been

:03:22. > :03:39.Good evening. Welcome to the heads of the valleys. Part of the charm
:03:40. > :03:43.and beauty of this part of Wales in the landscape was up beautiful this
:03:44. > :03:51.evening. But it is being ruined by other people deliberately starting
:03:52. > :03:56.grass fires. This is what the grass is like at the moment. It is try
:03:57. > :04:02.after being baked in the sun. When the wind picks up and close it even
:04:03. > :04:13.more, this area is susceptible to deliberate grass fires. Grasslands,
:04:14. > :04:21.scorched, blackened and the fire was started deliberately. What has
:04:22. > :04:25.happened? This is an everyday occurrence was a young teenagers
:04:26. > :04:30.hang around and light fires and disappear. They do not think of the
:04:31. > :04:34.consequences. A lot of these areas are areas of scientific interest to
:04:35. > :04:47.different societies. They take long to regenerate. It kills the wildlife
:04:48. > :04:52.which are protected species. I have seen maliciously started grass fires
:04:53. > :04:58.close up already this year. The smoke and the smell hang above this

:05:29. > :05:43.Wales it was 22. That is 333 deliberate fires. There were also 39
:05:44. > :05:49.hoax calls across Wales. This video shows how people 's lives have been
:05:50. > :05:55.affected. Graphic videos are one tool when working with young people
:05:56. > :06:04.who have been referred by the police and social services. We ask them to
:06:05. > :06:07.think about the consequences and people who do not have a lot of
:06:08. > :06:13.sympathy for young people, I can understand. If we want to help it
:06:14. > :06:19.and prevent it from happening, we need to engage with young people and
:06:20. > :06:24.work with them. Overall, the number of deliberate fires is falling at
:06:25. > :06:32.the emergency services say they still happen to often and still put
:06:33. > :06:36.people 's lives at risk. I understand that officers from the

:08:32. > :08:34.five K professionals. According to the report, information was not
:08:35. > :08:41.properly shared. The report says that was no evidence that the cake

:08:48. > :08:58.says there were missed opportunities and protocols were not properly
:08:59. > :09:04.followed. Whether discussing the case details holistically within the
:09:05. > :09:09.team would have avoided this tragedy we do not know if it would have been
:09:10. > :09:15.the case. It is a difficult balance between an eventuality and privacy

:09:19. > :09:25.information will be shared with other agencies and within the
:09:26. > :09:33.community. The report says it left its mark on all the professionals
:09:34. > :09:36.that dealt with the case. I know this sort of incident will be
:09:37. > :09:43.difficult to a fight but I am sure something could have been done to
:09:44. > :09:48.help this family. At Crown Court, David Jones admitted the
:09:49. > :09:50.manslaughter of his wife and son on the grounds of diminished
:09:51. > :09:52.responsibility for the plea was sent to a secure unit for an indefinite
:09:53. > :09:55.period. Earlier this year we told you
:09:56. > :09:58.about the new flagship education policy which shared twenty million
:09:59. > :10:00.pounds among forty Tonight there are claims that
:10:01. > :10:04.in order to fund that policy, money will be taken from schemes that
:10:05. > :10:07.benefit schools right across Wales. Our education correspondent,
:10:08. > :10:11.Arwyn Jones, has been speaking to a headmaster who says it'll have
:10:12. > :10:25.a significant impact. In May, the Welsh Government
:10:26. > :10:28.announced a list of 40 schools that will be involved in the new
:10:29. > :10:32.programme aimed at raising standards in some of our most challenging
:10:33. > :10:37.schools. Schools challenge cost ?20 million. ?12 billion has come from
:10:38. > :10:43.extra money given by the UK Government and the other ?8 million
:10:44. > :10:48.has been found from within the Welsh Government own education budget.
:10:49. > :10:52.That is causing problems. Plaid Cymru says ?5 million of that money
:10:53. > :11:03.will come from the grants in particular. But the school is
:11:04. > :11:06.relying on the many those grants ring in, it could have serious
:11:07. > :11:14.knock-on effects. Schools that have had many already allocated to them
:11:15. > :11:19.to raise standards will have planned for this and are now having to find
:11:20. > :11:25.funding is and extra resources the government has not prepared for.
:11:26. > :11:29.This School in Newport relies on the grants that could be in line for
:11:30. > :11:34.cuts. The headmaster says it will have a significant impact. You are
:11:35. > :11:39.hitting the ability of other schools to improve further. We were given a
:11:40. > :11:45.good rating but we want to be excellent. This Welsh Government
:11:46. > :11:50.went schools like this to be excellent. The start hitting grants,
:11:51. > :11:55.it will be difficult for schools to sustain improvement wherever they
:11:56. > :12:01.are whether they are in most need or whether they are adequate or at good
:12:02. > :12:07.and when to move to excellent. In a statement, it was said the Welsh
:12:08. > :12:11.Government had been transparent about the challenges it faces and
:12:12. > :12:16.will look at where the money will be found over the summer. Then schools
:12:17. > :12:18.return in September, they will want to know what the truth is about what
:12:19. > :12:21.will have to be cut. Much more to come
:12:22. > :12:23.before seven o'clock. Adam Jones won 95 caps
:12:24. > :12:25.for his country. How come
:12:26. > :12:27.the rugby player is training alone How much of your money is being used
:12:28. > :12:33.to subsidise politicians lunches? Criticism tonight that
:12:34. > :12:41.the bill will stick in your throat. We need better care services
:12:42. > :12:45.for adults with autism in Wales. That's the view
:12:46. > :12:47.of an autism charity. It comes as the family of twenty
:12:48. > :12:50.year old Claire Dyer, from Swansea, fight to stop her being moved to
:12:51. > :12:55.a specialist unit in Brighton. A court hearing will take place
:12:56. > :13:10.at the end of the week. As she dates a scrapbook of time
:13:11. > :13:15.spent with her daughter, the mother knows it may become more difficult
:13:16. > :13:20.to see her eldest child. We were not able to speak to clear because she
:13:21. > :13:28.was not able to leave the Swansea unit where she is currently being
:13:29. > :13:32.cared for. Claire has severe autism. For the last two years, she has been
:13:33. > :13:38.looked after a short distance from her home for that they had but has
:13:39. > :13:44.decided she should be spent to a specialist centre several hours away
:13:45. > :13:50.in Brighton. She is heartbroken. She does not want to go that far. We are
:13:51. > :14:01.the one constant in her life. She is five hours away, it will never work.
:14:02. > :14:06.Her parents acknowledge her behaviour can be challenging and
:14:07. > :14:09.they say moving her so far from home will make a difficult situation
:14:10. > :14:15.worse. The health board says it cannot, 20 legal processes ongoing.
:14:16. > :14:20.Autism charities say they would like to see better provision of care for
:14:21. > :14:26.autistic people in Wales. Some units are available but because the
:14:27. > :14:31.spectrum is so wide and the needs are so different, it is difficult to
:14:32. > :14:36.pinpoint exactly what sort of services you can put in one place.
:14:37. > :14:39.In an ideal world, we would have units that could cater for the needs
:14:40. > :14:46.of people on the spectrum on a regional basis. She was due to move
:14:47. > :14:50.today but her family managed to get an injunction. A hearing will take
:14:51. > :14:55.place on Friday to decide what happens next.
:14:56. > :14:57.The Conservatives say the Welsh Government has been spending too
:14:58. > :15:05.The total cost of the subsidy rose to more than ?420,000 last year.
:15:06. > :15:09.The Government says the criticism is misleading and a new contract means
:15:10. > :15:28.Time for lunch at this factory canteen in Newport. I am having a
:15:29. > :15:34.chicken Caesar salad. I will each year rather than anywhere else
:15:35. > :15:41.because I feel the value is good. Tomorrow is carry they. We are happy
:15:42. > :15:47.to subsidise this facility. It is a focal point in the building where
:15:48. > :15:52.everyone gets together. It gives workers more than something out of a
:15:53. > :15:57.vending machine. This private company has decided subsidising
:15:58. > :16:01.lunch is good for morale and overall productivity. Is it OK for the
:16:02. > :16:06.public sector to apply the same logic when it is public money at
:16:07. > :16:10.stake? The Conservatives have been looking at the menu on offer for
:16:11. > :16:14.Welsh Government workers and they are not happy about the amount of
:16:15. > :16:22.money it costs the taxpayer. Some of the recent options:
:16:23. > :16:36.The subsidy is to cost about ?261,000. It went up to more than
:16:37. > :16:41.?400,000 when meals with subsidised. When other departments have to make
:16:42. > :16:49.swingeing cuts in some cases, why has this been exempt? These are
:16:50. > :16:58.people not on a particularly high salary. This is just a minor work. A
:16:59. > :17:05.government source described the conservative attack as hypocrisy.
:17:06. > :17:09.Conservative assembly members eat at a canteen in the assembly where
:17:10. > :17:11.subsidy cost more than ?300,000 last year.
:17:12. > :17:14.It was an ambitious total but Team Wales have hit their medal
:17:15. > :17:21.There were fears that Team Wales would be nowhere
:17:22. > :17:26.The build up, dominated by news of which athletes would not be here.
:17:27. > :17:32.Wales currently have the magic number of 27 and are there'll be
:17:33. > :17:37.more medals to add to that, with 3 more guaranteed in the boxing.
:17:38. > :17:42.That'll take them up to 30, just one off our best ever.
:17:43. > :17:58.What a difference a week makes. The sound of the national anthem being
:17:59. > :18:02.played for four gold medals and the latest from swimmer Georgia Davies.
:18:03. > :18:09.That has drowned out the pregames talk that the Commonwealth Games
:18:10. > :18:14.would unravel for team Wales. Wales have already achieved their total
:18:15. > :18:25.target of 27 medals. It is comfortably more than they have one
:18:26. > :18:38.in India. New record was set in Manchester in 2001. The target was
:18:39. > :18:45.not downgraded after news before the games. Every time I went back to the
:18:46. > :18:50.village, you only have to look at the athlete to know they were ready
:18:51. > :18:56.and waiting for this. Some sports like gymnastics have excelled,
:18:57. > :19:13.smashing their own target. Swimming head its goal. In my day job, I am
:19:14. > :19:20.an apprentice painter and decorator. It is a very good job. I really
:19:21. > :19:29.enjoy it. I feel very good. Some sports will be wondering what this
:19:30. > :19:40.means for them. Welsh athletics is one organisation that may miss its
:19:41. > :19:46.target. Ben Gregory had the result which would have got him a silver
:19:47. > :19:54.medal in India. Performances will count, not just medals. The medal
:19:55. > :20:08.total is still increasing. The boxers have guaranteed themselves a
:20:09. > :20:13.medal. One Commonwealth champion who will not be taking home a medal is
:20:14. > :20:19.Dai Greene. It was not the race he wanted to run this morning. It was a
:20:20. > :20:25.difficult day for the reigning champion. Dai Greene beginning to
:20:26. > :20:31.drift back a little bit. Way off his best and he is not the athlete he
:20:32. > :20:35.was a couple of seasons ago. That was his honest assessment after
:20:36. > :20:39.failing to reach the final. It was only his second race of the season.
:20:40. > :20:42.The former world and European champion has struggled with
:20:43. > :20:49.injuries. Three hernia operations last year has not helped. I am not
:20:50. > :21:01.the athlete I was a couple of years ago. It shows if you are not that
:21:02. > :21:06.fit. He also fears his season has finished early and he does not think
:21:07. > :21:11.he will compete at the European Championships next month. After a
:21:12. > :21:14.difficult year, it is the -- disappointment in Glasgow. He will
:21:15. > :21:22.not get a chance to defend his Commonwealth title. There was so
:21:23. > :21:27.much went to work that was needed. I would get ready for the next season
:21:28. > :21:35.now. Four years ago, a different story. The Welsh hurdler is one a
:21:36. > :21:39.couple of medals. Rhys Williams was banned for failing a drugs test. The
:21:40. > :21:49.different reasons, Dai Greene will not be in the final either. We have
:21:50. > :21:56.heard about mixed fortunes for two defending champions. There will be
:21:57. > :22:01.no medal for Robert Weale over. He is also out of the games after
:22:02. > :22:07.losing this afternoon. He failed to make the last eight of the men's
:22:08. > :22:14.singles. Let me show you the medal count tonight. Wales on 27 medals.
:22:15. > :22:20.With three mock bronze medals at least guaranteed in the boxing, we
:22:21. > :22:23.will be adding to the tally soon. Wales are currently ninth in the
:22:24. > :22:32.table behind Jamaica as things stand. That is how things look as we
:22:33. > :22:35.reach the end of day seven. It is a big day tomorrow for our cyclists.
:22:36. > :22:41.It is the individual time trial. Geraint Thomas will be here but up
:22:42. > :22:48.Elinor Barker will also be adding -- looking to add to her to medals.
:22:49. > :22:50.One of Wales' most celebrated players is
:22:51. > :22:53.preparing for the new season without a club, and without any teammates.
:22:54. > :22:55.Adam Jones, who's won 95 caps for his country,
:22:56. > :22:58.is a victim of the political row that has engulfed Welsh rugby.
:22:59. > :23:01.The Ospreys have offered him a new contract, but only on the
:23:02. > :23:03.condition that a new Participation Agreement is signed between the
:23:04. > :23:06.Scrum V's Ross Harries has the story.
:23:07. > :23:15.preparing for the new season without a club, and without any teammates.
:23:16. > :23:22.The last 12 months have been an uphill struggle. Contract
:23:23. > :23:26.negotiations, online abuse from so-called fans, dropped from the
:23:27. > :23:29.Wales team and now this. Five weeks ahead of the new season, he is
:23:30. > :23:42.without a club and training on his own. I am waiting to be signed so I
:23:43. > :23:51.can concentrate on the future. It is the big thing for me. That is
:23:52. > :24:01.nothing I can do about it. The P a is the agreement between the union
:24:02. > :24:05.and the regions. The existing one expired last month and despite
:24:06. > :24:10.negotiations, a new one has yet to be signed. He has become perhaps the
:24:11. > :24:14.most visible victim of the impasse. The Catalonia figure out here but it
:24:15. > :24:23.is not all solo sessions in the sand. He has been in regular contact
:24:24. > :24:34.with the ospreys. He is conscious that time is ticking but staying
:24:35. > :24:46.philosophical. I think, I know the ospreys have signed many players. I
:24:47. > :24:57.know I have no issues with anyone. I wish I would get signed. I wish
:24:58. > :25:02.whoever is stalling would move on. I need stability for the next year.
:25:03. > :25:05.The BBC and S4C have reached a new agreement to show Pro 12
:25:06. > :25:08.rugby matches next season as part of a four-year rights deal.
:25:09. > :25:09.The broadcasters will share fixtures across the season.
:25:10. > :25:12.Scrum Five Live will show games on the BBC on Fridays,

:25:44. > :25:51.This summer so far has been a bit mixed but we've also had
:25:52. > :25:53.plenty of dry weather, sunshine and some high temperatures.
