0:00:00 > 0:00:00Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Welcome to the programme Tonight's headlines:
0:00:15 > 0:00:17The call for more support for the thousands
0:00:17 > 0:00:20of people over 60 in Wales who are in abusive relationships.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21And the building's been described as "uninhabitable",
0:00:21 > 0:00:23but migrant workers were crammed in.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28The landlord pleads guilty to twelve offences.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Good evening.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Much more needs to be done to support older people
0:00:38 > 0:00:41who are the victims of domestic abuse in Wales.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43That's according to the Older People's Commissioner,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47who says the usual support services are not always appropriate for those
0:00:47 > 0:00:52over 60 in abusive relationships.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54More than 30,000 people in Wales are affected.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56This report from India Pollock.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59It's seldom talked about, but domestic abuse affects at least
0:00:59 > 0:01:0330,000 people over 60 in Wales every year.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Janine is one of those.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08She says she suffered emotional and physical abuse for years.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We have changed her name to protect her identity.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And her words are spoken by a member of our production team.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18The bad times have sort of outweighed the good times now.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Because that is all you tend to think about and it goes over
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and over in your head.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And I have been so scared to go out and find somewhere,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28because I just didn't know where to look.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31While Janine has praised the support that she's received,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33the Older People's Commissioner says there are unique issues for older
0:01:33 > 0:01:35people in abusive relationships
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and the services are not always appropriate.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41If you have been married for 30 or 40 years and the option
0:01:41 > 0:01:45you are given is going to a refuge or perhaps to a care home,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm not sure there are many people who would see that
0:01:47 > 0:01:49as being an acceptable alternative.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Particularly if they have learnt, they shouldn't have had to,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53but they have learnt to live with the abuse.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We need to find better ways of providing that alternative
0:01:56 > 0:02:01support and response to older people.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Some charities are calling for designated refuges for older
0:02:03 > 0:02:07people, or specific rooms within existing refuges.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Back in the day, older women, they tended to put up
0:02:09 > 0:02:13with the abuse.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It was a taboo subject, people didn't talk about it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20And there were not places for older people to go
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and sometimes their grown-up children would not support them,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28they would even blame them
0:02:28 > 0:02:29for the breakdown of the relationship.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And blame them for the abuse.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Women in the Vale of Glamorgan believe that the abuse of older
0:02:35 > 0:02:36people is hidden.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You always think of it as being with younger people.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Teenagers, it's not something you hear much about in older
0:02:43 > 0:02:46people, is it?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I think it is very sad that they sort of...
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Obviously love the other person and don't want to leave them.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57People are aware of it, but I think they are ashamed of it
0:02:57 > 0:02:58if it is happening to them.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02And they hide their bruises. And they hide their hurt.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05The Welsh Government says they have already developed guidance
0:03:05 > 0:03:07in partnership with the Older People's Commissioner
0:03:07 > 0:03:08and a national training framework as part of
0:03:08 > 0:03:10the Domestic Abuse Act.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Janine has left the home she lived in for 30 years and is now
0:03:13 > 0:03:16rebuilding her life.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The hope is that others like her get the support they need
0:03:19 > 0:03:22as soon as possible.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25A row has broken out over plans for a social care provider in
0:03:25 > 0:03:27North Wales to sack its 300 staff and make
0:03:27 > 0:03:29them reapply for their jobs.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Anheddau Cyf says the current employees will be offered
0:03:31 > 0:03:35new contracts but on reduced terms and conditions.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It blames underfunding, but the public sector union,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Unison, has criticised the move and called for further talks.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Two men from Wiltshire have been charged following a tipper truck
0:03:45 > 0:03:49crash in which four people died,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52including three men from South Wales.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Robert Parker from Cwmbran, Phil Allen from Loughor
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and Stephen Vaughan from Swansea died when their car was hit
0:03:57 > 0:03:59by a truck in Bath in February.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Four-year-old Mitzy Steady was also killed.
0:04:02 > 0:04:0519-year-old Phillip Potter has been charged with causing death
0:04:05 > 0:04:08by dangerous driving and 29-year-old Matthew Gordon with aiding
0:04:08 > 0:04:12and abetting dangerous driving.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16This afternoon over 1,000 people attended the funeral of one
0:04:16 > 0:04:20of two steelworkers killed in an explosion at the Celsa Steel
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Works in Cardiff last month.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Father-of-six Peter O'Brien, who was 51 and from Llanishen,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29has been described by his family as "kind, gentle and funny".
0:04:29 > 0:04:35The funeral of his colleague, Mark Sim, will be held next week.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It was described as "uninhabitable", but more than 100 migrant
0:04:38 > 0:04:42farm workers from Eastern Europe were crowded into a former warehouse
0:04:42 > 0:04:44that was "at imminent risk of fire".
0:04:44 > 0:04:48The landlord of the building in Flintshire has admitted
0:04:48 > 0:04:5112 housing offences at Wrexham Magistrates Court.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Roger Pinney reports.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56These pictures capture the moments shortly
0:04:56 > 0:04:59after the property was raided.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02The migrants can be seen milling around the place they were supposed
0:05:02 > 0:05:04to have thought of as their home.
0:05:04 > 0:05:14The Ambulance Service was there, in case anywhere suffering injuries.
0:05:14 > 0:05:14--
0:05:14 > 0:05:15-- any
0:05:15 > 0:05:15-- any were
0:05:15 > 0:05:15-- any were suffering
0:05:15 > 0:05:16-- any were suffering injuries.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Luggage sitting on the pavement,
0:05:18 > 0:05:19the raid came after an anonymous tip-off.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21The authorities found living conditions so poor the occupants
0:05:21 > 0:05:22were considered at risk.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24They were evacuated, some were rehoused, others simply
0:05:24 > 0:05:25returned to Eastern Europe.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30In court at Wrexham, the landlord, John Russell Brown admitted
0:05:30 > 0:05:3112 housing charges.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37He was said to have been taking ?23,000 a month in rent.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40When we revisited the warehouse site today, mattresses could still be
0:05:40 > 0:05:44seen through a window.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46In here, officers found a 107 people,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50including an eight-year-old child, crammed in small rooms.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54All those people shared just six toilets and six showers.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57There was no heating and hardly any light.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00This place was "uninhabitable", the court was told.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04At Wrexham Magistrates' Court, the prosecution said they had been
0:06:04 > 0:06:07looking to recoup all their legal costs, as well as the cost
0:06:07 > 0:06:12of the investigation - a total of around ?53,000.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Russell Brown will be sentenced next month.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18A report following the wrongful conviction of three men from Cardiff
0:06:18 > 0:06:21for the murder of newsagent Phillip Saunders
0:06:21 > 0:06:25has failed to uncover any instances of perjury or false evidence.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Michael O'Brien, Ellis Sherwood and Darren Hall
0:06:28 > 0:06:32spent more han a decade in jail for a murder they didn't commit.
0:06:32 > 0:06:3428 years on, the real killer still hasn't been
0:06:34 > 0:06:37brought to justice.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'm disappointed with the report, because, I mean, there's been plenty
0:06:40 > 0:06:43of programmes made about the situation.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The evidence is good enough to get us out of the Court of Appeal
0:06:47 > 0:06:49and prove our innocence, but not strong enough
0:06:49 > 0:06:50to prove charges.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And I find that very absurd.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55You know, in the least.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Garry Monk has spoken for the first time since being sacked as manager
0:06:58 > 0:07:01of Swansea City, saying he's sad to leave the club he's been part
0:07:01 > 0:07:03of for the last 12 years.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04There's nothing concrete from the club yet
0:07:04 > 0:07:09about his successor.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11But there were more departures from the Liberty Stadium today.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Garry Monk's assistant Pep Clotet and coaches
0:07:13 > 0:07:19James Beattie and Kris O'Leary followed their former colleague.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Wales' players and the Football Association of Wales have resolved
0:07:21 > 0:07:24the dispute about their bonus payment for qualifying
0:07:24 > 0:07:26for Euro 2016.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28There had been a disagreement after the FAW
0:07:28 > 0:07:30offered a seven-figure bonus, shared among the players,
0:07:30 > 0:07:36which was lower than the offer it made before the side qualified.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Let's take a look at the weather forecast now.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Here's Sue Charles.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Good evening.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Some heavy downpours over the last 24 hours.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47This cold front, which brought the rain, moving southwards.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Colder air following behind, but it doesn't clear completely.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53In fact, this waving weather system will dominate our weather
0:07:53 > 0:07:56for the next few days.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Overnight, a few showers pushing through.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00A brisk westerly wind.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Some clear spells developing behind the cold front.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Chillier in the North, 2 or 3 Celsius.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Less cold in the south, where the cloud lingers.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Tomorrow, the odd shower possible, but chilly, bright and breezy
0:08:12 > 0:08:15for most of Wales.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Across the UK, that front brings cloud and patchy
0:08:17 > 0:08:19weather further south.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Drier and brighter through Wales and most of England.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Some showers further north, where it is much chillier.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Wintry in the Highlands.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Highs of just 4 Celsius in North East Scotland.
0:08:28 > 0:08:3111 in the milder air in South East England.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34A bright afternoon for most of Wales, the odd isolated shower.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Brisk westerly winds behind that cold front.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Feeling chillier at 8 Celsius On Anglesey.
0:08:41 > 0:08:4310 in Swansea.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Tomorrow night starts clear and dry, but it will turn cloudy
0:08:46 > 0:08:48from the southwest again, with that band of rain
0:08:48 > 0:08:49pushing back in.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Again, colder where it is clearer in the North, with a risk of frost.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Less cold under the cloud in the south-west.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Then, after hanging around for a couple of days,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03the same weather system meanders northwards through Saturday
0:09:03 > 0:09:08and into Sunday.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Further wet and windy weather at times on Saturday.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Some transient snow on high ground as it hits the colder air.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16But quickly turning to rain again,
0:09:16 > 0:09:21as stronger southerly winds push milder air behind it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But, because of the ongoing flood risk, the Met Office has issued
0:09:24 > 0:09:26a weather warning for the rain on Saturday for North West Wales.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29That trailing front could bring some patchy rain on Sunday,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32but by then it is a weakening feature.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Rather cloudy, maybe some brightness in South.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So chillier and brighter tomorrow.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Colder overnight into Saturday, with rain moving northwards
0:09:40 > 0:09:43through Saturday. Easing on Sunday.
0:09:43 > 0:09:51Mild, windy and unsettled into next week.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We'll have updates from around 6:25 in the morning.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54But that is Wales Today.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56From all of us here, good night.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Goodbye.
