:01:41. > :01:53.Owain Clarke reports: These scenes are more common eight
:01:54. > :02:00.midwinter then mid-September, but worrying at any time. There were
:02:01. > :02:08.scores of ambulances here outside of the hospital and in one of them,
:02:09. > :02:13.Sonia Powell, mother of five and grandmother of 14, died. She had
:02:14. > :02:19.been transferred from a nearby hospital after a heart attack. But
:02:20. > :02:24.no bed could be found for her. The doctor was in there and he was
:02:25. > :02:33.facing my aunt and my aunt said to him, she's gone, she's died. I'm
:02:34. > :02:39.sorry... They turned to Dan and they checked her and they said, yes, she
:02:40. > :02:43.was dead, she was gone. It was the worst feeling ever because she at
:02:44. > :02:49.least deserve to be in a bed. Nobody deserves to die outside a hospital.
:02:50. > :02:57.The Ambulance Services have launched an investigation but insist that
:02:58. > :02:59.Sonia Powell was assessed by a doctor three minutes after the
:03:00. > :03:04.ambulance arrived. They said a doctor also stayed with her until
:03:05. > :03:11.her death a half-hour later. That family argued that simply wasn't the
:03:12. > :03:18.case. Nobody came to see my mum until four minutes before she passed

:03:28. > :03:34.were all standing there. Yesterday, the British medical Association in
:03:35. > :03:40.Wales wanted the whole NHS should be warned that they could be in
:03:41. > :03:46.meltdown. All of the reports about these concerns about safety for
:03:47. > :03:50.patients highlight not listening to doctors, not listening to nurses,
:03:51. > :03:55.and that has resulted in patient harm. This is a growing list of
:03:56. > :04:01.organisations calling for an independent inquiry into the state
:04:02. > :04:06.of the Welsh NHS. The government says that isn't needed because it
:04:07. > :04:12.has enough safeguards to warn when something is wrong. But the health
:04:13. > :04:18.minister admits there is a huge strain on the NHS. It is a system
:04:19. > :04:26.under pressure. The age of austerity is a real. The demand goes up and
:04:27. > :04:35.our ability to meet the demand with our resources is compromised with
:04:36. > :04:44.the budget cuts that we face. The big picture story however is of a
:04:45. > :04:50.resilient service. Before Sonia Powell's to death, this family was
:04:51. > :04:57.already grieving. Her sister died of cancer just hours earlier. They
:04:58. > :05:01.blame funding cuts. Things get cut back in hospitals all the time and
:05:02. > :05:05.the ambulance drivers that were with my grandmother, they said they
:05:06. > :05:13.couldn't do anymore for her. They were so good with her. The impact is
:05:14. > :05:14.plain to see of an emergency service that, at least yesterday, couldn't
:05:15. > :05:15.cope. Six women have been convicted
:05:16. > :05:18.of operating a "pyramid" scheme in which thousands of investors
:05:19. > :05:20.in South Wales lost money. Investigators say more than ?20
:05:21. > :05:22.million was invested by around 10,000 people across South East
:05:23. > :05:25.Wales and the South West of England. What happened here five years
:05:26. > :05:37.ago is barely talked about now. People have said it has been
:05:38. > :05:40.brushed under the carpet. But the effect here and

:07:49. > :07:56.of poor form for the Bluebirds. Although amicable,
:07:57. > :07:57.both the club and Solksjaer say they're parting company because
:07:58. > :08:10.of differences in philosophy. It's been a difficult nine months
:08:11. > :08:16.for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He was brought in to help fight relegation
:08:17. > :08:20.from the Premier League, it was a battle he ultimately lost. Although
:08:21. > :08:23.the owner says he backed him in the transfer market, with three defeats
:08:24. > :08:30.in seven games this season, the writing has been on the wall. It was
:08:31. > :08:37.a different story when he joined the club in January. Fresh from success
:08:38. > :08:41.in Norway, he was brought in to replace the previous manager. He
:08:42. > :08:45.said it was a challenge that excited him. I always dreamt of being a
:08:46. > :08:51.manager in the Premier League. I always said I would. Now I am here
:08:52. > :08:56.and it is up to me to prove that I am up to the level. But he wasn't.
:08:57. > :09:06.The stats speak for themselves. 30 games with nine wins, and 16 losses.
:09:07. > :09:10.The results showed that things weren't well. It has been a
:09:11. > :09:14.difficult time for him from the Premier League relegation and I
:09:15. > :09:21.thought at the time he was the wrong appointment. The club and the owners
:09:22. > :09:28.say this is about more than just results. His parts are -- his
:09:29. > :09:32.departure is very amicable, but this is about a difference in philosophy
:09:33. > :09:41.or who is in charge of what in the club. They are trying to force a
:09:42. > :09:45.continental style into Cardiff City and then have the coach just coach
:09:46. > :09:48.of the first team. A lot of the foreign coaches, that is how they
:09:49. > :09:53.are trained to work and then there are restrictions. A lot of the
:09:54. > :10:02.British managers coach differently. Dundee manager Paul Hartley was
:10:03. > :10:07.approached for the job, but he wasn't interested. Now the Welsh
:10:08. > :10:10.manager is the favourite. He is available after leaving Crystal
:10:11. > :10:18.Palace, but whether his hands-on style would be good for Cardiff
:10:19. > :10:20.City, it's not sure. Now the team has to rally for Saturday's game on
:10:21. > :10:22.Saturday. We can talk now to our football
:10:23. > :10:33.correspondent Rob Phillips. This isn't much of a surprise. No,
:10:34. > :10:38.they had a terrible performance against Middlesbrough. The statement
:10:39. > :10:44.today underlines a blur about whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer jumped
:10:45. > :10:48.or whether he was pushed. I have to say it was a very warm statement and
:10:49. > :10:51.that is one of the reasons why we don't know if the manager went of
:10:52. > :10:56.his own choice or whether he was forced out because they want Ole
:10:57. > :11:01.Gunnar Solskjaer to leave the club with his head held high and his
:11:02. > :11:06.reputation intact. There is nothing like an amicable divorce, but this
:11:07. > :11:09.is as close as we will get to it. We heard about this difference in
:11:10. > :11:15.philosophy. What do you make of that? This is about the difference
:11:16. > :11:20.in philosophy about how to run the club and that is why Ole Gunnar
:11:21. > :11:24.Solskjaer eight lanes wide he should step aside. I have tried to find out
:11:25. > :11:30.what the interpretation of this is, but the closest I had is that in
:11:31. > :11:36.British football, he played under Sir Alex Ferguson, he was the
:11:37. > :11:39.manager. On the continent, it was slightly different. They appoint a
:11:40. > :11:44.head coach and they have somebody else running the Academy, somebody
:11:45. > :11:48.else running the scouting system, maybe a director of football as
:11:49. > :11:52.well. This is how the club wants to go now. The other way of looking at
:11:53. > :11:57.it is maybe the owner wants to interfere more and that could be
:11:58. > :12:03.something that may concern people. Now the talk turns to who is going
:12:04. > :12:09.to get the job. Is the job in attractive prospect? On one level,
:12:10. > :12:13.definitely. Whatever you say about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's managerial
:12:14. > :12:16.record, he assembled a very good championship squad Hugh is not
:12:17. > :12:21.performing the way they showed. The club have acted now because they
:12:22. > :12:25.feel they squad, the current players, can go on a run and sustain
:12:26. > :12:30.a promotion campaign even though they are 17th in the table at the
:12:31. > :12:35.moment. That would be attractive. The problem they have is that the
:12:36. > :12:43.reputation the owner has... There is always somebody ready for the job.
:12:44. > :12:45.It seems now they want a head coach rather than a manager. Interesting.
:12:46. > :12:50.Thank you. The Welsh Government wants local
