terrorism about the Paris attacks.

Here on BBC 1, it's time for the news where you are.

Welcome to Wales Today.

Father of six Peter O'Brien is named as one of two workers killed

in an explosion at a steelworks in Cardiff.

And visiting Wales for the first time as Labour leader,

Jeremy Corbyn says he backs greater freedom for the party here.

Good evening.

The two men who died in an explosion at the Celsa steelworks

in Cardiff yesterday have been named as Peter O'Brien and Mark Sim.

Tributes have been paid to the men, who were both engineers

at the plant.

The company says supporting their families, and those of the injured,

is its "absolute priority".

Rebecca John reports.

Laying flowers for two popular colleagues and family men,

who died doing their jobs.

51-year-old Peter O'Brien was married with six children.

He was part of a large and close Cardiff family,

and was the founder and club champion of St Peter's Bowls Club.

Frederick and Anita Davies have lived opposite the O'Brien

family for more than 20 years.

Terrible, it was really awful.

My neighbour across the road came, last night, wasn't it?

I just couldn't take it in.

Peter was in this terrible explosion.

We have known him 22 years, since they came to live here.

A very nice man, the rock of his family, as I said before,

so unassuming modest, in his approach to life.

In Caldicot tonight there is another family in mourning.

41-year-old Mark Sim was married with two young children, and was

a keen Newcastle United fan.

To think that you go to work and you don't come home, it is very

difficult to get your mind around that, it is just an awful, awful

tragedy, and I am sure everybody in Caldicot will rally around

Mark's family.

Both men were killed in an explosion in the basement of the rolling mill

at around 10.30am yesterday morning.

Today, fire and police search teams were back

on site to continue the operation to recover the men's bodies.

Earlier, the company's UK chief executive emerged from

the site, flanked by colleagues, to offer their condolences.

Supporting each family is our absolute priority.

Yesterday, was a tragic day for all of us.

Our Celsa family will grieve together and support each other in

the days, weeks and months ahead.

Three of the four people who were treated in hospital yesterday

have now been discharged.

Colleagues are still trying to come to terms with what's happened.

I've spoken with the workforce today, representatives of the

workforce and also with the police and the Health and Safety Executive.

Clearly, there is a great deal of sympathy and sorrow for the families

of those who lost their loved ones.

Operations remain suspended at the plant

while the investigation continues.

Celsa says, in memory of colleagues Peter

O'Brien and Mark Sim, it will try to avoid another day like

It's not yet known when the plant will reopen.

The company says its priority is to support the families of

the two men who didn't come home.

A pre-inquest hearing has heard that phone calls were made to police

about a convoy of cars before a crash which killed four people.

Teenagers Alesha O'Connor, Rhodri Miller, and Corey Price from

Barry, and 68-year-old Margaret Challis died following the incident

in the Brecon Beacons in March.

The inquest, scheduled for February next year, will question whether the

accident could have been prevented.

An inquest has heard that army medics did not consider a Welsh

soldier an "urgent" case after he collapsed on one

of the hottest days of the year.

A doctor who treated Gavin Williams said she wasn't told he was

dehydrated after a so-called "beasting".

The 22-year-old from Hengoed near Caerphilly later died from heart

failure as result of heatstroke.

The inquest continues.

On his first visit to Wales since becoming Labour leader, Jeremy

Corbyn has insisted his party will be united in

the run up to the assembly elections despite being openly criticised

by his own MPs this week.

He was in Swansea speaking about Labour's campaign with

the First Minister, who called on party members to be

careful about saying anything that jeopardises its chances next year.

Our political editor Nick Servini was there.

It was a lively backdrop.

Omani students at Swansea University's new bay campus

celebrated their annual festival before the arrival of Jeremy Corbyn.

The last time he was in Wales, Jeremy Corbyn was a candidate

in a contest in which he began as the rank outsider.

He now returns for the first time as leader of the Labour Party.

He came to meet the man in charge of the Labour Party in Wales,

First Minister Carwyn Jones.

They have very different styles of leadership

but their futures are intertwined.

Jeremy Corbyn has more than a passing interest in how Labour fares

next year.

At a time when most Labour MPs didn't want him in charge

it could be crucial to his survival.

The election for the Welsh Assembly, the Scottish Parliament

and the London mayor are the first really big test on the horizon.

It's unclear how much we will see of him in Wales over the next few

months but he wants to play an active part in the campaign.

Labour succeeds together in all parts of the UK, I'll be

campaigning in all parts of the UK.

Of course I'll be campaigning in Wales, I'll also be campaigning

in Scotland.

This is a big electoral possibility next year for Labour to show that we

are gaining support and show that the increased membership

of the party, now nearly 400,000, means something on the ground.

Jeremy Corbyn's visit comes after a difficult week in

which he was openly criticised by a number of his own MPs.

The infighting may be at Westminster but it poses a problem for

Welsh Labour planning an election campaign.

It is important that all party members bear in mind

that we have these important elections and to be very careful in

terms of saying anything that jeopardised our chances.

How would you feel about Labour MPs when they openly criticised

Jeremy Corbyn?

It's not very helpful for you, is it?

It's never helpful when you get that kind of open public criticism.

It's not helpful for the party and that is what we need to remember,

and the people who vote for us.

Their message went down well with the engineers

at the university today.

Now their job is to try to have the same impact on the wider electorate.

A Conservative AM, forced to face a ballot of party members,

has come top of the regional list for next year's Assembly elections.

Party officials had declined to automatically reselect

Mohammad Ashgar, prompting an open contest in south east Wales.

But a second AM, forced to follow the same procedure,

William Graham, has finished outside the top four meaning he is

effectively de-selected.

Mr Graham says he's "personally disappointed" but will continue

to campaign with the party.

Rugby.

The Cardiff Blues have been in action tonight.

Before the match, a minute's applause was held

in tribute to their former player Jonah Lomu.

The New Zealand rugby legend died suddenly at the age of 40.

The Blues went on to lose to the Harlequins by 20-32

in the European Challenge Cup.

Time for the weather forecast now and it's turning colder.

Here's Derek with the details.

Hello, shwmae.

Brace yourselves, it's going to turn much colder

over the next few days.

Arctic winds heading our way bringing a big drop in temperatures.

Snow in places but not everywhere and probably not

enough to go sledging.

Tonight, mid and north Wales dry.

Some rain will spread across southern counties.

A chillier night than recently with chillier winds.

Tomorrow, rain in the south will gradually clear

during the morning. It will brighten up, some sunshine.

Just the odd shower.

Across the rest of the UK, rain across southern counties

of England will gradually clear.

Brighter weather following from the north,

some sunshine and showers as well.

These will turn increasingly wintry in the north,

snow to lower levels in the far north and north-east of Scotland

and turning colder everywhere with a north-westerly wind.

Wales tomorrow afternoon, some sunshine but the wind picking up, a

few showers as well spreading south and these will turn wintry on higher

ground with the few flakes of snow.

Temperatures lower than recently, closer to the seasonal average.

Tomorrow night will be cold and windy,

clear spells and wintry showers, a dusting of snow in places.

Strong to gale force winds as well.

An Arctic plunge heading our way this weekend, a big drop in

temperature, strong to gale force winds as well.

Wind warning from the Met Office for mid and north Wales.

For the weekend, a significant wind-chill, feeling more like

minus 15 on the summit of Snowdon.

There will be a little snow in places,

some frost and sunshine as well.

A taste of winter over the next few days, feeling much colder than

it has done for quite some time.

But the cold snap looks like being short lived.

Turning a little bit milder again next week.

That's all from me, cadwch yn gynnes, wrap up warm.

We'll be back in Breakfast from around 6.25am tomorrow morning.

That's Wales Today. From all of us here, goodnight.
