0:00:01 > 0:00:02Here on BBC 1, it's time for the news where you are.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Welcome to Wales Today.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Father of six Peter O'Brien is named as one of two workers killed
0:00:09 > 0:00:12in an explosion at a steelworks in Cardiff.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15And visiting Wales for the first time as Labour leader,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Jeremy Corbyn says he backs greater freedom for the party here.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Good evening.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37The two men who died in an explosion at the Celsa steelworks
0:00:37 > 0:00:41in Cardiff yesterday have been named as Peter O'Brien and Mark Sim.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Tributes have been paid to the men, who were both engineers
0:00:45 > 0:00:46at the plant.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The company says supporting their families, and those of the injured,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51is its "absolute priority".
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Rebecca John reports.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Laying flowers for two popular colleagues and family men,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00who died doing their jobs.
0:01:00 > 0:01:0451-year-old Peter O'Brien was married with six children.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07He was part of a large and close Cardiff family,
0:01:07 > 0:01:13and was the founder and club champion of St Peter's Bowls Club.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Frederick and Anita Davies have lived opposite the O'Brien
0:01:15 > 0:01:18family for more than 20 years.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Terrible, it was really awful.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25My neighbour across the road came, last night, wasn't it?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I just couldn't take it in.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Peter was in this terrible explosion.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37We have known him 22 years, since they came to live here.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41A very nice man, the rock of his family, as I said before,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46so unassuming modest, in his approach to life.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50In Caldicot tonight there is another family in mourning.
0:01:50 > 0:01:5441-year-old Mark Sim was married with two young children, and was
0:01:54 > 0:01:57a keen Newcastle United fan.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02To think that you go to work and you don't come home, it is very
0:02:02 > 0:02:05difficult to get your mind around that, it is just an awful, awful
0:02:05 > 0:02:08tragedy, and I am sure everybody in Caldicot will rally around
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Mark's family.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Both men were killed in an explosion in the basement of the rolling mill
0:02:13 > 0:02:16at around 10.30am yesterday morning.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Today, fire and police search teams were back
0:02:19 > 0:02:24on site to continue the operation to recover the men's bodies.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Earlier, the company's UK chief executive emerged from
0:02:27 > 0:02:32the site, flanked by colleagues, to offer their condolences.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Supporting each family is our absolute priority.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yesterday, was a tragic day for all of us.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Our Celsa family will grieve together and support each other in
0:02:45 > 0:02:51the days, weeks and months ahead.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Three of the four people who were treated in hospital yesterday
0:02:54 > 0:02:56have now been discharged.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Colleagues are still trying to come to terms with what's happened.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I've spoken with the workforce today, representatives of the
0:03:03 > 0:03:07workforce and also with the police and the Health and Safety Executive.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Clearly, there is a great deal of sympathy and sorrow for the families
0:03:11 > 0:03:14of those who lost their loved ones.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Operations remain suspended at the plant
0:03:16 > 0:03:19while the investigation continues.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Celsa says, in memory of colleagues Peter
0:03:21 > 0:03:26O'Brien and Mark Sim, it will try to avoid another day like
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's not yet known when the plant will reopen.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The company says its priority is to support the families of
0:03:34 > 0:03:38the two men who didn't come home.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41A pre-inquest hearing has heard that phone calls were made to police
0:03:41 > 0:03:45about a convoy of cars before a crash which killed four people.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Teenagers Alesha O'Connor, Rhodri Miller, and Corey Price from
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Barry, and 68-year-old Margaret Challis died following the incident
0:03:52 > 0:03:54in the Brecon Beacons in March.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The inquest, scheduled for February next year, will question whether the
0:03:57 > 0:03:59accident could have been prevented.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02An inquest has heard that army medics did not consider a Welsh
0:04:02 > 0:04:04soldier an "urgent" case after he collapsed on one
0:04:04 > 0:04:06of the hottest days of the year.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09A doctor who treated Gavin Williams said she wasn't told he was
0:04:09 > 0:04:12dehydrated after a so-called "beasting".
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The 22-year-old from Hengoed near Caerphilly later died from heart
0:04:15 > 0:04:16failure as result of heatstroke.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20The inquest continues.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23On his first visit to Wales since becoming Labour leader, Jeremy
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Corbyn has insisted his party will be united in
0:04:26 > 0:04:30the run up to the assembly elections despite being openly criticised
0:04:30 > 0:04:32by his own MPs this week.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He was in Swansea speaking about Labour's campaign with
0:04:34 > 0:04:38the First Minister, who called on party members to be
0:04:38 > 0:04:41careful about saying anything that jeopardises its chances next year.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Our political editor Nick Servini was there.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It was a lively backdrop.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Omani students at Swansea University's new bay campus
0:04:52 > 0:05:00celebrated their annual festival before the arrival of Jeremy Corbyn.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The last time he was in Wales, Jeremy Corbyn was a candidate
0:05:03 > 0:05:07in a contest in which he began as the rank outsider.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12He now returns for the first time as leader of the Labour Party.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15He came to meet the man in charge of the Labour Party in Wales,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17First Minister Carwyn Jones.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20They have very different styles of leadership
0:05:20 > 0:05:24but their futures are intertwined.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Jeremy Corbyn has more than a passing interest in how Labour fares
0:05:27 > 0:05:29next year.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33At a time when most Labour MPs didn't want him in charge
0:05:33 > 0:05:36it could be crucial to his survival.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40The election for the Welsh Assembly, the Scottish Parliament
0:05:40 > 0:05:45and the London mayor are the first really big test on the horizon.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's unclear how much we will see of him in Wales over the next few
0:05:48 > 0:05:52months but he wants to play an active part in the campaign.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Labour succeeds together in all parts of the UK, I'll be
0:05:55 > 0:05:57campaigning in all parts of the UK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Of course I'll be campaigning in Wales, I'll also be campaigning
0:05:59 > 0:06:00in Scotland.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05This is a big electoral possibility next year for Labour to show that we
0:06:05 > 0:06:08are gaining support and show that the increased membership
0:06:08 > 0:06:11of the party, now nearly 400,000, means something on the ground.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Jeremy Corbyn's visit comes after a difficult week in
0:06:14 > 0:06:18which he was openly criticised by a number of his own MPs.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The infighting may be at Westminster but it poses a problem for
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Welsh Labour planning an election campaign.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It is important that all party members bear in mind
0:06:29 > 0:06:32that we have these important elections and to be very careful in
0:06:32 > 0:06:35terms of saying anything that jeopardised our chances.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38How would you feel about Labour MPs when they openly criticised
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Jeremy Corbyn?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's not very helpful for you, is it?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46It's never helpful when you get that kind of open public criticism.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It's not helpful for the party and that is what we need to remember,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51and the people who vote for us.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Their message went down well with the engineers
0:06:53 > 0:06:55at the university today.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Now their job is to try to have the same impact on the wider electorate.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04A Conservative AM, forced to face a ballot of party members,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08has come top of the regional list for next year's Assembly elections.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Party officials had declined to automatically reselect
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Mohammad Ashgar, prompting an open contest in south east Wales.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17But a second AM, forced to follow the same procedure,
0:07:17 > 0:07:22William Graham, has finished outside the top four meaning he is
0:07:22 > 0:07:23effectively de-selected.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Mr Graham says he's "personally disappointed" but will continue
0:07:26 > 0:07:30to campaign with the party.
0:07:30 > 0:07:30Rugby.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32The Cardiff Blues have been in action tonight.
0:07:32 > 0:07:40Before the match, a minute's applause was held
0:07:40 > 0:07:43in tribute to their former player Jonah Lomu.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46The New Zealand rugby legend died suddenly at the age of 40.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The Blues went on to lose to the Harlequins by 20-32
0:07:50 > 0:07:53in the European Challenge Cup.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Time for the weather forecast now and it's turning colder.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Here's Derek with the details.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Hello, shwmae.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Brace yourselves, it's going to turn much colder
0:08:03 > 0:08:04over the next few days.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Snow in places but not everywhere and probably not
0:08:10 > 0:08:12enough to go sledging.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Tonight, mid and north Wales dry.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Just the odd shower.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Across the rest of the UK, rain across southern counties
0:08:30 > 0:08:32of England will gradually clear.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Brighter weather following from the north,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37some sunshine and showers as well.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39These will turn increasingly wintry in the north,

0:08:43 > 0:08:47and turning colder everywhere with a north-westerly wind.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Wales tomorrow afternoon, some sunshine but the wind picking up, a
0:08:51 > 0:08:55few showers as well spreading south and these will turn wintry on higher
0:08:55 > 0:08:57ground with the few flakes of snow.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Temperatures lower than recently, closer to the seasonal average.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Tomorrow night will be cold and windy,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08clear spells and wintry showers, a dusting of snow in places.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Strong to gale force winds as well.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15An Arctic plunge heading our way this weekend, a big drop in
0:09:15 > 0:09:18temperature, strong to gale force winds as well.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Wind warning from the Met Office for mid and north Wales.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26For the weekend, a significant wind-chill, feeling more like
0:09:26 > 0:09:28minus 15 on the summit of Snowdon.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30There will be a little snow in places,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33some frost and sunshine as well.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37A taste of winter over the next few days, feeling much colder than
0:09:37 > 0:09:40it has done for quite some time.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42But the cold snap looks like being short lived.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Turning a little bit milder again next week.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49That's all from me, cadwch yn gynnes, wrap up warm.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53We'll be back in Breakfast from around 6.25am tomorrow morning.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That's Wales Today. From all of us here, goodnight.
