An investigation into the fatal shooting

of a 49-year-old mother-of-two, has found shortcomings in

the way Gwent Police handled contact with her, before her murder.

Caroline Parry's estranged husband, Christopher Parry,

was jailed for a minimum of 26 years earlier this year.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission say

A quiet residential street in Newport, now forever the scene

46-year-old Caroline Parry had left her husband after 26 years

of marriage, and moved in with her new partner.

The marriage had been an unhappy one, the court case heard of

In August 2013, Christopher Parry drove eight miles

from his home in Cwmbran, with a shotgun in the boot of his car.

After an argument, he shot his estranged wife twice in the back,

then turned the gun on himself, in a failed suicide attempt.

Today's report by the police watchdog found shortcomings

in the way Gwent Police handled their contact with Mrs Parry.

She'd contacted police twice in the months before her death.

Really, they did not pick up on all the indications, on all the points

of concern in respect of Mr Parry's behaviour between May and August

2013. This isn't the first time

the police watchdog has raised concerns about how the force

responds to domestic abuse cases. Gwent Police say changes have been

made, but they accept that further A third person has been arrested

by Irish authorities have been their battle with the council over

huge rent increases. Fees for householders on the Elba

estate, in Gowerton, were to be increased from ?50 to

?2,500 by Swansea Council. But the council says it'll offer

a more affordable rate. Specialist doctors will join crews

of the Wales Air Ambulance for the first time as part

of a new emergency service being The service, which will cost nearly

?3 million a year to run, has the potential to reach 95% of the

Welsh population within 30 minutes. Our health correspondent,

Owain Clarke, joins us now. Welcome to Swansea, home of this

marvellous helicopter, one of three covering the entire country, three

ambulances. Traditionally, this helicopter would have taken highly

trained paramedics to accidents and emergencies. From spring next year,

they will be joined by a specialist consultant doctors, launching the

new service here is Warren. How is this a step ahead?

This is bringing the emergency room to the patients, specialist

consultant-led care to patients with trauma, for example.

Isn't this just shifting the burden? This is something the doctors are

excited about. They think this will improve patient outcome and be

exciting for all of them in terms of their practice.

Let us talk to a doctor, an expert in emergency care.

Will it make patient care better having people like yourself on

board? Definitely, it has been an aim we

have been striving for, for a while. This is a state-of-the-art machine,

funded by us. We have the ability for senior doctors to be at the side

of a patient who is critically injured to make decisions in patient

care. Will it allay fears about travelling

times? Our aim is to look after the

critically injured. That -- that is it for now from

Swansea airport. Plans for an ?8 billion nuclear

power station on Anglesey are going on display, with a series

of exhibitions over ten weeks. It's an important milestone

for the developers. But there are concerns over how

nuclear waste will be dealt with, as our environment correspondent,

Iolo ap Dafydd, reports. Just one reactor operators at the

last remaining nuclear power station. Next to the old plant is

worth Horizon Nuclear Power hope to operate the new one. Despite the

fact there will not be any electricity or power generated for

at least another ten years here, the consultation is seen as a huge

milestone for the company and its owner Hitachi, to build two new

nuclear reactors on this site in Anglesey. We have been working on

this project from 2008 and this is the first time to show our plans for

the project, which we want people to give their feedback on and help us

develop it further. Also announced today is information

on road improvements, plans for accommodation for workers if

construction begins in 2019, and an idea of where two new nuclear

reactors could be placed. Details of nuclear waste and an emergency

evacuation plan are still to be discussed.

The main concerns of people, danger from nuclear waste, security, the

economy, I don't just mean the local economy which is a great concern,

but the wider economy, taxpayers and consumers. This is expensive

technology. After the ten week public

consultation, it may take three years before a planning application

is submitted. This ?10 billion investment could create many jobs,

as we get a sense of how much work is needed to build a new nuclear

power station with its own deepwater harbour.

Tributes have been paid to the Welsh poet and author Dannie Abse,

The award-winning writer died yesterday, surrounded by his family,

Abigail Neal has been looking back at his long life.

Although he wrote in many forms, Dannie Abse was best known for his

poetry. I sometimes think that the dead have many disguises.

A master of clarity and consistency, he made it seem

effortless. But of course it was not.

I normally revise things and work on a poem and the more you do, the more

you become attached to it. Rather like a mother who gives so much

attention to her baby, and gives it had loved.

Born in the 1920s, he began his working life in medicine, spitting

tie between his young family in Wales and working as a physician in

London. His reputation as a writer grew. Through his autobiographical

work, he became renowned as a man who wrote passionately about his

home city. His poetry and his prose, especially

Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve, encapsulates what it meant to be

born in Cardiff and grow up in Wales. South Wales was always close

and with a home by the sea he shed much of his time here with his

wife, Joan. When she died in a car accident in

2005, he dealt with her loss by what came naturally, writing about it in

his memoir. It went on to win the Wales book of the year award in he

also loved to encourage younger writers, not least through his

charisma. He was an inveterate talker and joke

teller. He would go on, and you would say, where is the poem? The

introduction, the tales wound around the poem, were more competitive and

longer than the poem itself. Dannie Abse never retired from

writing. In his last weeks he was still making revisions to what will

be his final collection of poetry, Ask The Moon.

He described the moment as the pinnacle of his career.

Coming down the stretch, I knew things were getting big and I didn't

try to look at the scoreboard. I kept my head down. That is all I

could do. That is what I did. In the end, it was enough to retain the

Ryder Cup. Everyone has played so well. The fact it came down to my

point is incredible, really. The shot of his life had

been watched by partner Kat. It was amazing, I am always so

proud. A magical time. If you didn't know his name,
