:02:57. > :03:03.to have a Ph.D. From Cambridge. He has now been removed from his
:03:04. > :03:07.position by the college. The education minister confirmed the

:03:39. > :03:44.in the problems associated with them. And concerns in Wales is not
:03:45. > :03:49.new either. Over a year ago a committee at the Assembly warned
:03:50. > :03:52.about gaps in their oversight. The response from the Welsh
:03:53. > :03:57.Government is to force private colleges from next year to have to
:03:58. > :04:03.register as a charity. Is it enough? One member of the Assembly
:04:04. > :04:06.committee sees more should be done. The reality of the situation as we
:04:07. > :04:11.have instances where there have been issues with regard to proper
:04:12. > :04:19.governance of charities here in the same way that we have issues with
:04:20. > :04:24.this particular college. There are greater safeguards in place at
:04:25. > :04:27.universities and further education colleges in Wales, but that is
:04:28. > :04:30.always concerned that confidence levels could be charged
:04:31. > :04:38.across-the-board and students miss out. It is bad because we have
:04:39. > :04:52.wasted resources and we have looted resources to spend on education. --
:04:53. > :04:55.we have limited resources. The college owner denies knowing of any
:04:56. > :05:02.wrongdoing in the recruitment of students to his college.

:05:08. > :05:11.The Leader of the Opposition kicked things off when he said he was
:05:12. > :05:17.aghast at the content of the programme. During the course of the
:05:18. > :05:24.day we became aware of their concerns and more broadly in the
:05:25. > :05:30.higher education sector in Wales. The education committee were worried
:05:31. > :05:36.about some of these institutions being squeezed out of a crowded
:05:37. > :05:45.marketplace. Lots of and answered questions. The officials in Wales
:05:46. > :05:48.did not want to duplicate the checks and balances that were carried out
:05:49. > :05:52.because they had been done in England where it had been
:05:53. > :05:56.registered. Should more have been done? How concerned as the Welsh
:05:57. > :05:59.Government about the funding of places in England? Very little
:06:00. > :06:06.information from the Welsh Government other than the statement
:06:07. > :06:10.that the police are involved. The education minister, two days on the
:06:11. > :06:14.trot, focusing on this claim that they will have to become charities
:06:15. > :06:18.in the New Year. There is an acknowledgement from most people but
:06:19. > :06:22.that will put off organisations potentially taking advantage of the
:06:23. > :06:25.system, but at the same time concerns about whether it will
:06:26. > :06:26.really get to the heart of this issue, the falsification of
:06:27. > :06:32.documents. The debate over UK military action
:06:33. > :06:35.in Syria is continuing this evening. This is the scene live in the House
:06:36. > :06:38.of Commons at the moment. More than half of Wales's 25
:06:39. > :06:42.Labour MPs will vote against extending air strikes against
:06:43. > :06:46.Islamic State militants to Syria. The 11 Welsh Conservative MPs are
:06:47. > :06:50.expected to support the Government, with the three Plaid Cymru MPs
:06:51. > :06:52.voting against air strikes. Here's our parliamentary
:06:53. > :07:08.correspondent, David Cornock. It is an issue that divides
:07:09. > :07:12.politicians and Syrians in Wales. This man cheers the Syrian Welsh

:07:56. > :08:01.difficult decision. It is not easy if I say, yes I
:08:02. > :08:10.agree. But if we look to the fact, what is going on on the ground, I
:08:11. > :08:20.think with this terrorist group the only efficient way to destroy them
:08:21. > :08:23.as by air strikes. Among those taking the decision, even MPs mind

:08:47. > :08:53.of this death cult itself. Training camps. Communications hubs. Those
:08:54. > :08:55.that are plotting against us. One former Cabinet minister said air
:08:56. > :09:01.strikes would be legal and would make a difference. But in should not
:09:02. > :09:07.be standing by while our strongest allies benighted States, and France,
:09:08. > :09:10.which has suffered grievously and recently, bear the greatest lords to
:09:11. > :09:14.rid the world of this evil organisation. But Plaid Cymru says
:09:15. > :09:20.diplomacy is a better way of tackling the problem. We are against
:09:21. > :09:24.the rotary action because the Prime Minister has failed to make the case
:09:25. > :09:30.not least last night when he said anybody not supporting him was a
:09:31. > :09:34.terrorist 's advisor. Deep down he is beginning to lose the argument.
:09:35. > :09:41.But Mr Cameron can expect to lose the vote despite the opposition of
:09:42. > :09:44.some senior Welsh Labour MPs. I am not a pacifist. There is a place for
:09:45. > :09:48.a force but I believe you need to have a strategy as to what comes
:09:49. > :09:52.after any force that is used. You need to know immediately what you
:09:53. > :09:56.are going to be doing. It is no good saying you will try to bomb some
:09:57. > :10:00.people out of where they are if you have not got a clue who is then
:10:01. > :10:05.going to take over. Whatever the results tonight Syrians in Wales
:10:06. > :10:07.will be watching closely to see what it means for them and their families
:10:08. > :10:08.back home. David - the debate is now
:10:09. > :10:11.in it's eighth hour. What will be happening
:10:12. > :10:18.for the rest of the evening? Stealthily and a half hours to go
:10:19. > :10:25.before MPs vote on whether Britain should join air strikes on Islamic
:10:26. > :10:31.State or Daesh targets in Syria. A lot of passionate arguments on both
:10:32. > :10:35.sides from Welsh MPs as well. On most issues most politicians are now
:10:36. > :10:40.their own minds. This is different. Matters of war and peace, especially
:10:41. > :10:45.for Labour MPs, who have been given a free vote, they can both according
:10:46. > :10:49.to their conscience tonight. I spoke to one who has been up until half
:10:50. > :10:54.past two in the morning agonising over how to vote and still has not
:10:55. > :10:59.made up his mind. When the votes are counted tonight I think we will see
:11:00. > :11:03.Welsh MPs as a whole evenly split probably. More Welsh Labour MPs
:11:04. > :11:08.voting against totally action than with the Government. We should get
:11:09. > :11:14.the result at 10:30pm. And we will hear more in the evening bulletin.

:15:09. > :15:12.punishment. It had been one of the hottest days of the year. An expert
:15:13. > :15:16.says there was no appreciation of the risk that heat pause. One
:15:17. > :15:22.corporal said he felt that Gavin Williams had had enough after the
:15:23. > :15:28.first session of exercise and the sergeants to come for a second
:15:29. > :15:33.round. Giving evidence from a video link the coroner was told that
