:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News They believe their elderly relatives

:00:00. > :00:10.were neglected in care homes Tonight they appeal to

:00:11. > :00:27.others to come forward. It is very upsetting to have two

:00:28. > :00:28.keep really eating it, but it is the only way that the truth will come

:00:29. > :00:34.out. -- to keep remembering it. Also tonight - the legal challenge

:00:35. > :00:38.aiming to put the brakes on plans Jason Hamer lost millions after

:00:39. > :00:41.being mis-sold financial products The call for more protection

:00:42. > :00:44.for others like him. The last of our defending champions

:00:45. > :00:51.bows out of the Commonwealth Games. Heartbreak for bantamweight

:00:52. > :00:54.Sean McGoldrick - he loses on points after his fight is

:00:55. > :01:02.stopped following a clash of heads. And what has Scotland got out

:01:03. > :01:08.of these Games? Is it

:01:09. > :01:16.a model Wales could follow one day? If people think Glasgow is full of

:01:17. > :01:33.gangsters and crime, look around. A review set up to stop neglect in

:01:34. > :01:37.care homes across Wales will only be able to do its job if more people

:01:38. > :01:42.come forward to give evidence. That's the message this evening

:01:43. > :01:44.from the relatives of elderly people, allegedly neglected

:01:45. > :01:49.in homes across the Gwent area. The Welsh Government set up

:01:50. > :01:53.the independent inquiry after the biggest ever police investigation

:01:54. > :02:13.into neglect collapsed last year. You may find some of these details

:02:14. > :02:19.distressing. The bottom of her back was eaten

:02:20. > :02:29.away with a pressure sore. How could that have happened.

:02:30. > :02:38.This person describes the alleged neglect her mother and others

:02:39. > :02:42.suffered at the care home. She only discovered the true extent of her

:02:43. > :02:52.mother's injuries years after she died. Police spent seven years

:02:53. > :02:59.amassing evidence at a cost of ?11 million. Charges were brought

:03:00. > :03:04.against a Dr that ran two of the care homes, but he suffered brain

:03:05. > :03:15.damage and could not stand trial. This person also looked into abuse

:03:16. > :03:21.at care homes. This is not about apportioning

:03:22. > :03:26.blame. It is not about compensation. But we need to continue this

:03:27. > :03:32.campaign. We do not want this to happen to any other families.

:03:33. > :03:35.This person says people must have known that her relative was

:03:36. > :03:45.softening in a care home before she died. She says that this review is

:03:46. > :03:53.the last chance to make amends. There are people that knew. They

:03:54. > :04:01.have not come forward. Neglect is alleged to have taken

:04:02. > :04:09.place more recently also. BBC Wales told the story of a person

:04:10. > :04:13.at a nursing home earlier this year. The lot will soon change to make it

:04:14. > :04:32.easier to prosecute managers and owners of care homes.

:04:33. > :04:35.Regulation is not good enough. The care standards Inspectorate needs

:04:36. > :04:44.the support of local central Government. These families still

:04:45. > :04:52.feel guilty. They could not stop their loved ones suffering.

:04:53. > :05:00.They have fought for this review, but they are still frustrated.

:05:01. > :05:16.Legal advice said that not everything concerning the

:05:17. > :05:20.investigation should be disclosed. Only eight out of the 100 families

:05:21. > :05:26.affected are speaking to the review at the moment. Many of them are too

:05:27. > :05:38.upset to go through the painful details of what happens to their

:05:39. > :05:41.loved ones. The message is, if anybody knows of

:05:42. > :05:51.bad practice they should come forward.

:05:52. > :06:01.You have seen some of the interim findings of the review.

:06:02. > :06:05.If an authority identifies a home that is feeling they have to give

:06:06. > :06:12.careful consideration to what happens to the people in that home.

:06:13. > :06:21.There is a worry that there is a lack of capacity in the system. This

:06:22. > :06:30.review comes to an end at the end of this calendar year.

:06:31. > :06:33.A driver, who killed his sister and her fiance in a car crash,

:06:34. > :06:37.20-year-old Corey Davies was over the drink-drive limit

:06:38. > :06:39.when he overtook a bus while travelling from Gilfach Goch

:06:40. > :06:42.Raquel Davies and Lee Jenkins died instantly leaving

:06:43. > :06:48.Davies, who's from Porth in the Rhondda, admitted two counts

:06:49. > :07:07.This was a tragic case and I hope the sentence is warning to others

:07:08. > :07:15.not to and drive. I want to thank the officers that came forward to

:07:16. > :07:19.help us. I hope that both families can have closure.

:07:20. > :07:22.A Swansea family has lost its bid to prevent a health board

:07:23. > :07:24.moving their autistic daughter to a specialist unit in Brighton.

:07:25. > :07:27.Claire Dyer, who's 20, will have to leave the Swansea

:07:28. > :07:30.facility she's lived at since April 2012 after Abertawe Bro Morgannwg

:07:31. > :07:34.University Health Board's decision was upheld by a judge today.

:07:35. > :07:36.The health board says it can't comment about individual cases,

:07:37. > :07:43.but makes every effort to arrange placements as close

:07:44. > :07:47.as possible to a patient?s home, but it's not always possible.

:07:48. > :07:50.Education services at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council will no longer have to

:07:51. > :07:52.be monitored by inspectors after the schools watchdog, Estyn, said

:07:53. > :07:56.they'd made significant improvements over the past two years.

:07:57. > :08:12.Schools' standards and attendance are now around the Welsh average.

:08:13. > :08:23.The Welsh Government announced plans to build a relief road around the

:08:24. > :08:28.M4. Today an environmental group has said it will proceed with a judicial

:08:29. > :08:34.review unless the Welsh Government begins the consultation process. The

:08:35. > :08:36.Welsh minister remains committed to the project.

:08:37. > :08:42.Gridlock on the M4. It is described by the Prime Minister as a food --

:08:43. > :08:49.as a fruit on the windpipe of the economy.

:08:50. > :08:56.Last September ministers considered plans with the roots looked at in

:08:57. > :09:02.detail. Two weeks ago the big need on one of the roots. It was a

:09:03. > :09:07.controversial decision. A fourth option was not part of the

:09:08. > :09:15.consultation. Although we understand that was considered, Friends of the

:09:16. > :09:22.Earth questions the legality of not including it in the consultation.

:09:23. > :09:30.This is an option that should have been considered by the Welsh

:09:31. > :09:36.Government. They have not done their work thoroughly enough. We are

:09:37. > :09:41.asking them to reconsider. In a letter sent to the Welsh

:09:42. > :09:46.Government today the environmental group sees questions remain about

:09:47. > :09:54.why sufficient account was not given to environmental concerns. They say

:09:55. > :09:58.that the total cost remains uncertain.

:09:59. > :10:01.Defending the decision at the time of the announcements the transport

:10:02. > :10:09.minister said she expected a legal challenge. I am sure that there will

:10:10. > :10:14.be a legal challenge. But you tell me which major infrastructure

:10:15. > :10:21.project is not subject to a challenge? The Welsh Government

:10:22. > :10:34.remains committed to a project whose wheels are already in motion.

:10:35. > :10:44.There are concerns for the welfare of child asylum seekers arriving in

:10:45. > :10:51.Wales without a Guardian. On average 30 asylum seekers arrive every

:10:52. > :10:56.year. The Home Office says it works with Bollettieri associations. Bat

:10:57. > :11:03.with voluntary associations. The union, Unison,

:11:04. > :11:05.has joined calls for Powys council's deputy leader to resign

:11:06. > :11:07.after she used racially offensive Myfanwy Alexander was

:11:08. > :11:10."severely reprimanded" for using the N-word in a debate

:11:11. > :11:12.about cross-border health services. The law needs to change to protect

:11:13. > :11:18.businesses here that were mis-sold That's according to the Federation

:11:19. > :11:21.of Small Businesses. It says

:11:22. > :11:26.the compensation scheme that is supposed to help them is failing and

:11:27. > :11:29.the relationship between them and the banks needs a complete overhaul

:11:30. > :11:31.to avoid any future problems. Our business correspondent,

:11:32. > :11:44.Brian Meechan, has more. Jason Hamer was made bankrupt after

:11:45. > :11:53.losing millions of pounds. He had been sold financial products by his

:11:54. > :12:06.bank. He advised me that I need to take this out to safeguard. Then I

:12:07. > :12:12.was basically find. This was the base of his haulage firm. It is not

:12:13. > :12:18.just a personal loss. 60 employees were made unemployed.

:12:19. > :12:27.He also owns this will tail but she lost. -- owned this whole tale. He

:12:28. > :12:33.also owned ten properties which were rented out.

:12:34. > :12:39.Under pressure from MPs banks set up a compensation scheme for business

:12:40. > :12:44.people affected. Critics say it is feeling and there are calls for

:12:45. > :12:48.changes in the law. Whether you are an individual trader

:12:49. > :12:54.or a mighty Corporation the law treats you the same. We want a

:12:55. > :13:06.special measures to be put in place for small businesses. The Welsh

:13:07. > :13:12.economy was particularly vulnerable to this misselling. 95% of all firms

:13:13. > :13:18.in Wales are micro-businesses. That means they employ less than ten

:13:19. > :13:23.people. Banks see there is no need to change

:13:24. > :13:38.the law. The industry has two Green belt confidence. -- the industry has

:13:39. > :13:40.two rebuild confidence. Jason Hamer says he will continue to

:13:41. > :13:46.fight for justice. Much more to come

:13:47. > :13:48.before seven o'clock: The faces of the First World War -

:13:49. > :13:51.captured by a Welsh artist - And some heavy rain through tonight

:13:52. > :13:55.and tomorrow with a risk The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

:13:56. > :14:05.heads into its final weekend, but there are still plenty

:14:06. > :14:08.of medals up for grabs. Let's cross to Claire

:14:09. > :14:12.on the banks of the river Clyde. Day nine and a big evening ahead

:14:13. > :14:21.for some of our boxers. At the start of the day,

:14:22. > :14:24.Wales knew they were guaranteed The question is could they

:14:25. > :14:27.become silver or even gold? Two of our fighters have already

:14:28. > :14:30.been in action, among them defending He though, had to settle for bronze,

:14:31. > :14:56.after his bout ended He was aiming to become the first

:14:57. > :15:03.Welsh boxer to win two gold medals at the Commonwealth Games. Sean

:15:04. > :15:10.McGoldrick started slowly against his opponents from Northern Ireland.

:15:11. > :15:13.He improved in the second. But fate was stopped twice. His opponent was

:15:14. > :15:21.bleeding, caused by a clash of heads. The boat was ended and the

:15:22. > :15:25.Welsh boxer lost on points. Disappointment for Sean McGoldrick.

:15:26. > :15:28.He will not have an opportunity to defend his Commonwealth Games title.

:15:29. > :15:42.People have to settle for the bronze medal.

:15:43. > :15:48.It is a shame. That is boxing. I started a bit slow. I may be

:15:49. > :15:56.respected him too much. Attention turned to Nathan Barley.

:15:57. > :16:16.He progressed on technical knockouts. -- attention turned to

:16:17. > :16:20.Thorley. He was satisfied with a bronze at

:16:21. > :16:33.his first Commonwealth Games. It is my first major tournament. It is a

:16:34. > :16:38.medal. It is boxing. It happens. Three other Welsh boxers are hoping

:16:39. > :16:43.for better than bronze. One price has already made her study, becoming

:16:44. > :16:48.the first Welsh woman to compete in the ring at the Commonwealth Games.

:16:49. > :16:59.She faces 8/2 test against two-time world champion from Canada. -- faces

:17:00. > :17:01.a difficult test. I can tell you that Sean

:17:02. > :17:20.McGoldrick's appeal has been declined. The defending champion has

:17:21. > :17:33.to settle for bronze. Welsh gymnasts are having a great

:17:34. > :17:44.Commonwealth Games. I felt so honoured to be part of the

:17:45. > :17:55.team. I did not expect to get a medal. I just wanted to enjoy it.

:17:56. > :17:57.The final curtain comes down on Games on Sunday night.

:17:58. > :18:00.Many nations, like Wales, have been watching closely to see

:18:01. > :18:02.how Scotland have organised and managed the games.

:18:03. > :18:04.The question is - what legacy will be left here

:18:05. > :18:08.after we all pack up and go home and is Wales in a position to host

:18:09. > :18:12.Ashleigh Crowter has spent the day on the streets of Glasgow

:18:13. > :18:22.Glasgow is a city with a spring in its step. It had already taken

:18:23. > :18:27.bigwigs forward before hosting the Commonwealth Games. What the last

:18:28. > :18:30.fortnight has done has shorn of its self-confidence to the rest of the

:18:31. > :18:39.world. 100,000 overseas visitors have come here. The global TV

:18:40. > :18:44.audience is 1.5 billion. People think Glasgow is full of gangsters

:18:45. > :18:51.and crying. Look around. It has brought a lot into the economy. This

:18:52. > :18:57.is what Glasgow people are like. It has been a 30 year challenge from

:18:58. > :19:05.Glasgow to shed its image problem of an auld industrial city blighted by

:19:06. > :19:08.poverty, crime and sectarianism. Bat an auld industrial city. Nobody

:19:09. > :19:18.is seeing the social problems have gone away.

:19:19. > :19:22.Glasgow has reinvented itself. More people are now employed intruders

:19:23. > :19:28.and hospitality than at the height of shipbuilding. It is an

:19:29. > :19:37.extraordinary change for the city. -- employed in tourism and

:19:38. > :19:42.hospitality. It has been a boom time for businesses. One hotel is

:19:43. > :19:49.organising street parties. They expect their business to be

:19:50. > :19:52.transformed in the longer term. The reputation we have built out

:19:53. > :20:01.duelling this time, all the social media, has definitely built as app.

:20:02. > :20:08.We will still be getting more traffic. It cost more than ?500

:20:09. > :20:11.million to stage the games. 80% of that came from the Scottish

:20:12. > :20:16.Government. It is the sort of figure that for now has stopped the Welsh

:20:17. > :20:20.Government throwing its support behind a possible bid for Cardiff in

:20:21. > :20:33.the future. But there have been discussions. We have been open about

:20:34. > :20:37.that for quite some time. Commonwealth officials have also

:20:38. > :20:48.said they would not rule out a joint bid involving Cardiff, Swansea and

:20:49. > :20:52.Newport. The majority of venues in Glasgow

:20:53. > :20:55.were already being used by the public. There is a feel-good factor

:20:56. > :20:58.here. But wheels was to bid for the

:20:59. > :21:16.Commonwealth Games they would have two week at the risks and benefits

:21:17. > :21:22.for themselves. -- if Wales was to bid for the Commonwealth Games.

:21:23. > :21:26.So let's have a look at the medal counter for Team Wales.

:21:27. > :21:28.Adding today's two bronze in the boxing and one in

:21:29. > :21:31.Four golds, ten silvers and now 17 bronze.

:21:32. > :21:34.Remember there are still more medals still to come in the boxing.

:21:35. > :21:37.It leaves Wales 11th overall in the standings - just behind Kenya.

:21:38. > :21:39.So, the end of the Games approaching.

:21:40. > :21:41.On Sunday a chance for cyclist Geraint Thomas to win another

:21:42. > :21:46.We'll be here over the weekend keeping you posted on all of that.

:21:47. > :21:49.For now that's all from us here in Glasgow.

:21:50. > :22:00.Monday marks 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War.

:22:01. > :22:04.And across the country, events will be held to remember

:22:05. > :22:07.our fallen soldiers and the impact war had on life in Wales.

:22:08. > :22:14.The Lights Out project will include tributes by artists.

:22:15. > :22:16.In Bangor, the faces of soldiers and civilians will be projected

:22:17. > :22:22.It's been created by artist, Bedwyr Williams.

:22:23. > :22:30.The faces of dozens of men slowly dissolve from one to the next.

:22:31. > :22:34.No caps or badges to identify them, just their faces photographed

:22:35. > :22:39.as they went to war, some never to return.

:22:40. > :22:46.This film will be projected from the Memorial Arch onto

:22:47. > :22:49.the neighbouring Pontio Centre next Monday night to mark the centenary

:22:50. > :22:53.For the artist who created it, it's about seeing the humanity

:22:54. > :23:07.By concentrating on the face only, that is the part of the image that

:23:08. > :23:14.the loved ones would have missed when that person was away. You do

:23:15. > :23:16.not think about medals or U. You think about the face that you said

:23:17. > :23:22.goodbye to at the railway station. The images

:23:23. > :23:24.which have been chosen come from the extensive archive at the National

:23:25. > :23:26.Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The photographs are being digitised

:23:27. > :23:42.as part of a major project to make It is a fairly rich resource. There

:23:43. > :23:54.is a mass of information about individuals and families. You can

:23:55. > :23:58.chase your family history. We are familiar with memorials that

:23:59. > :24:11.list names of those who dies. This artwork aims to put faces to names.

:24:12. > :24:13.Three other Lights Out events will take place in Belfast,

:24:14. > :24:15.Edinburgh and London with artists presenting their taken on the

:24:16. > :24:26.To look at this from the perspective of an artist gets as a different

:24:27. > :24:30.view. This is the human face of conflict.

:24:31. > :24:33.Homes and businesses are being encouraged to turn their lights

:24:34. > :24:37.Bedwyr Williams hopes his art will shed some light on those who

:24:38. > :24:40.And on Monday, a national service of remembrance

:24:41. > :24:43.will be held at Llandaff Cathedral, marking the beginning of the war.

:24:44. > :24:45.Jamie will be there bringing you coverage

:24:46. > :24:47.of all the commemorative events taking place around Wales including

:24:48. > :24:58.That's Wales Today on Monday from 6.30.

:24:59. > :25:14.Here is the weather. We have got wet weather for a Saturday. By Sunday it

:25:15. > :25:19.will be drier and brighter. Tonight there are showers ahead. Overnight a

:25:20. > :25:32.band of heavy rain making its way up from the Southwest. The Met office

:25:33. > :25:45.has issued a yellow warning. Potential for localised flooding.

:25:46. > :25:57.First thing tomorrow morning it is a cloudy start. The rain is making its

:25:58. > :26:00.way northwards. Rain will continue to fall across parts of the North

:26:01. > :26:15.and West. It will feel cooler and fresher tomorrow. Tomorrow night the

:26:16. > :26:25.rainbow continue to fall across parts of the North and West. By

:26:26. > :26:33.Sunday morning we can look forward to drier conditions. It. Be fairly

:26:34. > :26:44.mild. Sunday is the better day of the weekend. There will be some

:26:45. > :26:57.sunshine, but it will be big easy. Monday is looking good. Just the odd

:26:58. > :27:13.isolated shower possible. By Tuesday there will be the return of Thunder

:27:14. > :27:18.the showers. The main news again. Families who

:27:19. > :27:21.believe their relatives were neglected in care homes are

:27:22. > :27:27.appealing to others to come forward with more evidence.

:27:28. > :27:31.Friends of the Earth is threatening legal action against the Welsh

:27:32. > :27:37.Government's plans to build a relief road around the M4.

:27:38. > :27:41.I will have an update after BBC News at ten. That is all for now.

:27:42. > :27:48.Goodbye.
