:00:07. > :00:30.I truly believe if he had taken his medication and was monitored, she

:00:31. > :00:34.would not have died. A report finds there were

:00:35. > :00:36.shortcomings in his care. Tonight there are calls

:00:37. > :00:38.for lessons to be learned about the way people with mental

:00:39. > :00:41.health problems are cared for. Helping children who

:00:42. > :00:47.regularly skip class. Noah Edwards' worried family took

:00:48. > :00:57.him to see doctors thirty times. But an inquest hears it could

:00:58. > :01:01.not have been prevented. Hundreds are expected here tonight,

:01:02. > :01:04.as dairy farmers warn more protests could be on the cards over

:01:05. > :01:07.the cuts to milk prices. And Cardiff City close in

:01:08. > :01:09.on their man, as manager Russell Two years ago,

:01:10. > :01:22.Matthew Triddon killed a mother and injured 20 others in a series

:01:23. > :01:27.of hit and runs around Cardiff. But it has identified

:01:28. > :01:33.shortcomings in his care. Health Inspectorate Wales say he was

:01:34. > :01:40.hallucinating when he went on a journey of mayhem and had

:01:41. > :01:53.stopped taking his medication. This was the end of Matthew

:01:54. > :01:57.Triddon's trail of destruction across Cardiff. Skilful police

:01:58. > :02:05.driving finally managing to halt his white van after a 30 minute rampage

:02:06. > :02:11.across the city. CCTV footage showed how he swerved across four lanes of

:02:12. > :02:20.traffic, using his fan as a weapon to target women with children. He

:02:21. > :02:26.was locked up and definitely -- indefinitely under the Mental Health

:02:27. > :02:33.Act. He killed this woman, leaving her children without a mother. Her

:02:34. > :02:38.sister believes if he had been monitored more closely the tragedy

:02:39. > :02:45.could have been prevented. I was angry reading it. It makes me feel

:02:46. > :02:51.that it was unnecessary. I truly believe, if he was monitored and had

:02:52. > :02:59.been taking his medication, my sister would still be alive today.

:03:00. > :03:05.It is two years since she was killed. This report was ordered as

:03:06. > :03:08.Matthew Triddon had been a user of mental health services in the city.

:03:09. > :03:16.It concludes the homicide could not have been predicted and if it -- it

:03:17. > :03:21.was difficult to see how it could have been prevented. However, it

:03:22. > :03:27.highlighted shortcomings. The report said there was a communication

:03:28. > :03:31.between the mental health team and his GP. He had not taken his

:03:32. > :03:36.medication for a year before the accident, but there was no system to

:03:37. > :03:41.monitor whether prescriptions had been collected. The workload for the

:03:42. > :03:45.psychiatrist was excessive. There was no single care coordinator to

:03:46. > :03:52.guide him through the system, but instead was seen by nine separate

:03:53. > :03:59.GPs. So good was the progress that this gentleman was making was that

:04:00. > :04:06.he was a pathway to know medication because he was recovering. It is

:04:07. > :04:10.important to say that our goal is to enable people to recover from mental

:04:11. > :04:19.illness. One of the saddest things from this case is that Matthew

:04:20. > :04:32.Triddon felt there was a stigma attached to mental health services.

:04:33. > :04:39.The report today highlight earlier occasions where concerns were raised

:04:40. > :04:43.about Matthew Triddon's actions. In 2003, a community psychiatric nurse

:04:44. > :04:48.recorded there was some risk of violence to himself and others. He

:04:49. > :04:54.was sectioned under the Mental Health Act on four occasions. Once

:04:55. > :04:59.in 2007 after he was arrested with a loaded area pistol in a briefcase.

:05:00. > :05:06.After that incident, his parents wrote to a tribunal saying they

:05:07. > :05:12.would have to take civil action against all parties they considered

:05:13. > :05:16.negligent. Although we could have predicted he might not take his

:05:17. > :05:20.medication, again, there is no sense be good at predicting what that

:05:21. > :05:27.might have led to. That is no comfort to the family, I understand

:05:28. > :05:31.that. Gutted because in my eyes this was preventable. It should not have

:05:32. > :05:43.happened. Now we have to live our lives without my sister. My kneess

:05:44. > :05:47.-- her children did not have a mother.

:05:48. > :05:50.With me now is Sam Fenwick from the charity Hafal, which supports those

:05:51. > :05:53.This report identifies problems with Matthew Triddon's care,

:05:54. > :05:56.are you concerned that people with mental health problems may not be

:05:57. > :06:12.First of all, I would like to express my sympathy is with the

:06:13. > :06:18.family of the victim. Relapse indicators can be highlighted so

:06:19. > :06:23.that monitoring is more effective. This is an isolated incident. The

:06:24. > :06:29.majority of people who have a serious mental illness in Wales live

:06:30. > :06:37.life without posing a risk to others. From our perspective, we

:06:38. > :06:43.believe that those prone to disengagement should be provided

:06:44. > :06:45.with more support. The families should be provided with support

:06:46. > :06:52.during turbulent times. Thank you. Schools in Wales must do more to

:06:53. > :06:55.stamp out absenteeism and truancy. That's according to

:06:56. > :06:57.the education watchdog Estyn. It says nearly a third of secondary

:06:58. > :07:00.schools here aren't doing enough to improve their pupils' attendance,

:07:01. > :07:02.and that means poor or vulnerable All present and correct at this

:07:03. > :07:14.Year Nine literacy class at Staff here have worked hard to

:07:15. > :07:19.improve attendance rates from 85% Their philosophy, a positive not

:07:20. > :07:26.punitive approach to absenteeism, working with families and social

:07:27. > :07:29.services to understand exactly why some children in the past were

:07:30. > :07:44.failing to turn up day after day. It could be for students who perhaps

:07:45. > :07:48.are not engaging in the curriculum. It could be for social reasons were

:07:49. > :07:52.the students are having difficulties with relationships, with their peers

:07:53. > :07:57.or others in the school. It could be a range of family issues.

:07:58. > :07:59.Although school attendance has been slowly improving over the last five

:08:00. > :08:02.years, almost one in every three secondary schools in Wales have now

:08:03. > :08:11.According to the schools inspectorate, vulnerable pupils are

:08:12. > :08:15.most affected if schools don't do enough to tackle absenteeism. Those

:08:16. > :08:20.eligible for free school meals are nearly twice as likely to miss

:08:21. > :08:24.school and underperform in class. The absence rate for those with

:08:25. > :08:25.special needs is much higher than for those without.

:08:26. > :08:29.Until recently, he was constantly missing from class.

:08:30. > :08:32.His school referred him to this project in Newport called Peak.

:08:33. > :08:34.It is for pupils who struggle with mainstream education,

:08:35. > :08:37.offering skills like bike repair, carpentry and plumbing instead.

:08:38. > :08:40.Although Jock is not technically in class while he is here,

:08:41. > :08:57.If I had somewhere like this -- if I didn't have somewhere like this, I

:08:58. > :08:58.would have messed up my life. Just hanging around on street corners and

:08:59. > :09:01.staff. Schools are using a whole host

:09:02. > :09:03.of methods to tackle absenteeism, even enlisting the services

:09:04. > :09:05.of retired police officers. Bob Evans was in the force

:09:06. > :09:07.for 30 years. Today he is walking the beat

:09:08. > :09:10.in the Vale of Glamorgan. He heads up a team of former

:09:11. > :09:13.policemen who visit the parents of pupils who persistently miss school,

:09:14. > :09:25.offering them advice and support. Often, single parents so that they

:09:26. > :09:30.have a number of challenges. Bullying, health issues, depression.

:09:31. > :09:31.We will help wherever they can in referring them to the right

:09:32. > :09:32.agencies. In its report,

:09:33. > :09:34.Estyn has made a number of recommendations to schools, local

:09:35. > :09:37.authorities and the Welsh Government It says in the future it wants to

:09:38. > :09:41.see far more children at their Staying with education,

:09:42. > :09:45.and the controversial banding system for secondary schools

:09:46. > :09:48.in Wales is to be replaced by a new colour-coded ratings system for both

:09:49. > :09:53.secondary and primary schools. From January,

:09:54. > :09:55.the best performing schools will be rated green, followed by yellow,

:09:56. > :10:13.amber, and red for those needing It was a flagship policy that

:10:14. > :10:17.divided schools into different bands, but also split opinion.

:10:18. > :10:24.Banding was introduced three years ago, gripping secondary schools with

:10:25. > :10:27.15 bands each year. It was based on attendance and performance in

:10:28. > :10:36.literacy and numeracy. But many argued that didn't give a fill-in

:10:37. > :10:38.picked. Following a review, the education minister announced a new

:10:39. > :10:44.national school categorisation system. We will look at three years

:10:45. > :10:49.worth of data instead of one. Schools will have a self evaluation.

:10:50. > :10:54.Is this announcement a recognition by the Welsh Government that you got

:10:55. > :10:59.it wrong when it came to banding? Not at all. Banding has done great

:11:00. > :11:03.things, particularly those who ended up in band four and five. You will

:11:04. > :11:10.see a marked improvement of over 10% in their GCSEs grades. We have

:11:11. > :11:17.learned from that, evolved it and created a progress which tells us

:11:18. > :11:23.more and is more insightful regarding how our schools are doing.

:11:24. > :11:29.Here is how it works. The top 25% will be on the green category. They

:11:30. > :11:35.will provide guidance to those in other colours. School in the red

:11:36. > :11:39.category will be the lowest 25% and will require significant

:11:40. > :11:43.improvement. Primary schools will be included in the rating system,

:11:44. > :11:47.despite concerns that differences in school sizes across Wales make make

:11:48. > :11:54.it difficult to compare them. This headteacher is not worried. This

:11:55. > :11:58.will just add to the system and hopefully move us forward with more

:11:59. > :12:02.recognition for what we do. Opposition parties claim the

:12:03. > :12:08.announcement as a long-awaited U-turn, scrapping banding step in

:12:09. > :12:12.the right direction. There was a colourful response from teaching

:12:13. > :12:16.unions. I am pleased that the Welsh Government has caught up with the

:12:17. > :12:25.rest of us and realised the banding system was bonkers and not fit for

:12:26. > :12:30.purpose. This new system is better for supporting struggling schools.

:12:31. > :12:32.The colour coding starts from January.

:12:33. > :12:34.A nursing home in Deeside has been fined ?5,000

:12:35. > :12:36.for breaching safety laws, after an 88-year-old woman suffered

:12:37. > :12:41.9% burns to her body when she was lowered into a scalding hot bath.

:12:42. > :12:43.Beatrice Morgan, who lived at Greencroft Nursing Home in Aston,

:12:44. > :12:48.Police from South Wales have confirmed

:12:49. > :12:50.they're assisting colleagues in London in their search for

:12:51. > :12:57.A reconstruction of her last known movements has been staged today.

:12:58. > :13:00.Several members of the force's specialist search

:13:01. > :13:04.and recovery team are helping to look for the 14 year old.

:13:05. > :13:09.She was last seen on 28 August in West London.

:13:10. > :13:12.A mother who took her baby to see doctors thirty times in

:13:13. > :13:18.around a year has been told she could not have done more for him.

:13:19. > :13:20.An inquest heard 14 month old Noah Edwards,

:13:21. > :13:22.died after contracting a virus which affected his breathing.

:13:23. > :13:31.An expert said the illness could not have been predicted.

:13:32. > :13:46.Now add words' family came to this inquest seeking and sewers. Noah

:13:47. > :13:51.Edwards was just 14 months old when he died. His mother said he was

:13:52. > :13:56.happy. But he never seemed to be without a cold or runny nose. Tests

:13:57. > :14:06.done after he died found that as well as the common cold virus, he

:14:07. > :14:09.was suffering from a rear infection. According to a

:14:10. > :14:15.pathologist, it is probably what killed him. Through his young life,

:14:16. > :14:19.Noah Edwards was treated with paracetamol and inhalers but he

:14:20. > :14:22.never seemed to get any better. He would pick up

:14:23. > :14:26.never seemed to get any better. He another. Night times were the worst.

:14:27. > :14:31.His mother broke down as she took the inquest through all the times

:14:32. > :14:36.she had taken him to see a doctor. There were times when she said she

:14:37. > :14:41.relieved the GP practice in tears of frustration. Noah Edwards had 30

:14:42. > :14:46.relieved the GP practice in tears of appointments at the surgery and at

:14:47. > :14:48.relieved the GP practice in tears of hospital within 14 months. But an

:14:49. > :14:56.relieved the GP practice in tears of not have been predicted and was not

:14:57. > :14:59.related to his previous problems. Following the hearing, his mother

:15:00. > :15:05.and grandmother said important issues have been raised. How

:15:06. > :15:09.important been for you to go through this process? We wanted to

:15:10. > :15:17.more about the virus for other parents. We don't want any more

:15:18. > :15:27.deaths. It is a dreadful virus and there is no cure for it. It

:15:28. > :15:31.deaths. It is a dreadful virus and children very seriously. Lessons are

:15:32. > :15:37.being learned. We don't want any other parents go through what we

:15:38. > :15:41.have gone through. The family were told the world right to take on

:15:42. > :15:45.repeatedly to see doctors. You could not have done more, he said. This

:15:46. > :15:48.case is a reminder that life is not fair.

:15:49. > :15:52.On the eve of the Ryder Cup, Jamie Donaldson gets ready to become

:15:53. > :15:59.the seventh Welshman to play in golf's most famous tournament.

:16:00. > :16:02.Hundreds of dairy farmers are expected to gather in Carmarthen

:16:03. > :16:04.tonight, after growing concern about the fall in milk prices.

:16:05. > :16:06.All four of the UK's dairy processors have

:16:07. > :16:09.slashed the price they are paying for milk in recent months.

:16:10. > :16:17.Our reporter is at the meeting tonight.

:16:18. > :16:21.In the next hour, we are expecting a big turnout here at Carmarthen

:16:22. > :16:24.cattle mart for the third in a series of meets across the UK by the

:16:25. > :16:29.With each of these gathering, they are gauging the appetite across

:16:30. > :16:31.Britain for more blockades, protests and potentially empty shelves

:16:32. > :16:38.The issue, as we have heard often enough now, is farmers demanding

:16:39. > :16:42.In May this year, dairy farmers were getting paid

:16:43. > :16:46.around 32 pence a litre, but by next month some will be paid as little as

:16:47. > :16:57.The campaign group Farmers for Action say farmers need to earn at

:16:58. > :17:17.Just a few months ago we heard the situation was getting better?

:17:18. > :17:28.We produce 5 million litres every year. Simple maths will mean that we

:17:29. > :17:33.will be about ?250,000 down on our turnover. So that is ?50,000 for

:17:34. > :17:39.every million litres. That will impact on all farmers. It is a huge

:17:40. > :17:45.reduction to their income. That income asked to go round the county

:17:46. > :17:52.to pay for associated businesses like vets, feed merchants,

:17:53. > :17:58.fertiliser, fuel. It goes on and on. Laver huge impact. The daily

:17:59. > :18:03.processing industry says this is down to global economics because of

:18:04. > :18:07.factors like Russia having an import ban on milk because of the sanctions

:18:08. > :18:13.we have imposed on them. They say there is nothing they can do. It is

:18:14. > :18:17.globally related, there is no question about that. There is too

:18:18. > :18:23.much milk in the world at this present moment. But it shifts very

:18:24. > :18:27.quickly. It is a volatile industry. Six months ago, the processors were

:18:28. > :18:32.encouraging us to produce more and more milk. We have answered that

:18:33. > :18:36.question and now they say there is no home for the milk and the value

:18:37. > :18:43.has dropped. World commodity prices should not impact as much on UK

:18:44. > :18:49.producers as it is. There is approximately 3000 producers who

:18:50. > :18:58.will be directly impacted by world commodity prices, but the other 7000

:18:59. > :19:02.UK dairy producers, 80% of their milk is concerned in the UK. The

:19:03. > :19:05.processors are jumping on the back of price cuts and saying they will

:19:06. > :19:14.have a piece of that. A Dairy UK spokeswoman said market

:19:15. > :19:16.forces determined milk prices and all markets were under severe

:19:17. > :19:29.pressure. Claire has tonight's

:19:30. > :19:30.sports news now. Let's start with news at

:19:31. > :19:36.Cardiff City and lawyers are trying to thrash out

:19:37. > :19:39.a deal that will see Russell Slade The 53-year-old tendered

:19:40. > :19:43.his resignation from Leyton Orient Our reporter is outside

:19:44. > :19:45.Cardiff City. Well,

:19:46. > :19:52.it does seem to be a matter of time now until Russell Slade is appointed

:19:53. > :19:55.as the new manager of Cardiff City. But the exact timing is

:19:56. > :19:58.more difficult to predict. Slade has spent some of the day

:19:59. > :20:02.at Cardiff City's training ground, talking with club officials

:20:03. > :20:07.and staff, and Cardiff had hoped to be in a position to introduce Slade

:20:08. > :20:11.to the media at their regular press But we understand that's not likely

:20:12. > :20:20.to happen, as negotiations between lawyers for

:20:21. > :20:23.Cardiff City and Slade's former club Orient have not made it easy

:20:24. > :20:35.for Slade to go. They turned down approaches

:20:36. > :20:40.from Cardiff to speak to him on Monday, even

:20:41. > :20:44.though Slade said he was interesting Well, last night, Slade tendered his

:20:45. > :20:51.resignation from the League One club Orient have accepted

:20:52. > :20:55.that Slade has gone. They have put former Cardiff striker

:20:56. > :20:58.Kevin Nugent in charge for their game this weekend, but

:20:59. > :21:01.they are clearly keen to make sure they receive proper compensation

:21:02. > :21:03.for the loss of the man who took So what does that mean for

:21:04. > :21:07.Cardiff City this weekend. Well, Cardiff play Sheffield

:21:08. > :21:12.Wednesday here on Saturday, and it seems that Scott Young

:21:13. > :21:14.and Danny Gabbidon will continue in charge for their third match,

:21:15. > :21:17.although Russell Slade is likely to We understand that Cardiff are keen

:21:18. > :21:23.that Scott Young remains part of the first team coaching staff when the

:21:24. > :21:30.new manager is appointed, likely to be sometime after Saturday's match.

:21:31. > :21:32.The Ryder Cup starts tomorrow and Pontypridd's Jamie Donaldson has

:21:33. > :21:34.been enjoying a final practice Now, if I asked you how many

:21:35. > :21:40.Welshmen had played in the Well, tomorrow Jamie Donaldson will

:21:41. > :22:01.follow in the footsteps It is the biggest show in golf.

:22:02. > :22:06.Jamie Donaldson as part of the European team going for a third

:22:07. > :22:11.consecutive victory. He may be one of the rookies, but the Welsh man is

:22:12. > :22:15.brimming with confidence. It has taken my whole career to get to this

:22:16. > :22:20.point. It is the biggest stage. I have always wanted to play the Ryder

:22:21. > :22:31.Cup. Let this be the first of many. The form has been good of late. It

:22:32. > :22:38.will be very exciting. I am very much looking forward to it. Bring it

:22:39. > :22:43.on. As Jamie prepares for his moment in the spotlight, he knows he will

:22:44. > :22:47.be adding his name alongside six other Welshmen, also embedded in

:22:48. > :22:53.golf's most famous tournament. The Ryder Cup began in 1927 is a

:22:54. > :22:57.competition between America and Britain. Bert Hodgson started out as

:22:58. > :23:02.a caddy at Newport golf club. He was chosen to play in the 1931 team that

:23:03. > :23:08.travelled to hire or. For the first 30 years, Britain only won twice.

:23:09. > :23:17.Welsh man from Barry helped turn things around. Diuresis helped

:23:18. > :23:23.Britain get their hands on the cup. Then Dave Thomas, 23 years old,

:23:24. > :23:28.joins the team. The next Welshmen had a profound affect. The 1960s

:23:29. > :23:31.were a desperate time and it was becoming a nonevent from the

:23:32. > :23:38.dominant Americans. Brian Huggett made his debut in 1963. He made the

:23:39. > :23:42.Ryder Cup what it is today. He helped convince the Americans to

:23:43. > :23:49.bring the Europeans in. His legacy was cemented in tournament's history

:23:50. > :23:55.as the 1970s revival happen. Another young Welshman was waiting in the

:23:56. > :24:00.wings. Ian Woosnam made his debut in 1973. They lost, but after decades

:24:01. > :24:05.in the doldrums the good times began. In 1987, Europe one for the
