Private Gavin Williams died because of an unofficial punishment | :01:16. | :01:28. | |
the army failed to identify or prevent. | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
The conclusion of a coroner after the 22-year-old from Hengoed | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
near Caerphilly was ordered to undergo intensive exercise known | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
He collapsed at Lucknow Barracks in Wiltshire in 2006 | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
From Salisbury Coroner's Court, Paul Heaney. | :01:39. | :01:59. | |
A proud mother, a son who had found direction by joining the Army at | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
months after his passing out parade, Gavin Williams was dead. He trusted | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
them. To look after him, train him in the way he should the trained and | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
never to hurt him. Gavin 's mother still haunted by the images of what | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
happened nearly a decade ago. I was forced to look at my son as he lay | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
asleep, never to wake up again. That was the worst moment of my life. And | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
I see that moment in my head every single day. I know that the nature | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
of that bee sting was so inhuman, so degrading that it cannot be | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
tolerated in any civilised way -- world. Gavin was involved in a | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
series of drunken incidents. On one occasion, going a while. Gavin 's | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
behaviour culminated in a prank carried out here in the early hours | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
of the morning one week ending July 2000 six. Guests staying here with a | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
senior officer were sprayed with a fire extinguisher in the early hours | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
of the morning and then Gavin turned up drunk to guard duty. His senior | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
officer demanded Gavin was brought in front of him hot and sweaty. A | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Corporal marched Gavin around the camp on one of the hottest day of | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
the years before one of his colleagues took Gavin for a second | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
punishing exercise in the gym. Ordering extended physical exercise | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
like this as a punishment was known as beasting and it was against Army | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
rules. We're college there was a culture of unofficial punishments at | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the time of Gavin 's death. This was unacceptable. We have already | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
conducted an enquiry and made in a broth improvements to try and sure | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
-- ensure this has never -- will never happen again. Gavin collapsed | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
when walking to this medical centre for help. The coroner said there was | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
a delay in treating Gavin when he arrived. | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
But instead he slumped to the floor industry went room, rate are going | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
into cardiac arrest. This CCTV shows his final hours, taken by Amblin 's | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
to Salisbury Hospital. He died from multiple organ like -- organ | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
failure. Ecstasy was found in his blood when he died. Three men were | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
acquitted of manslaughter in 2008. Sergeant Paul Blake said Gavin had | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
not done excessive exercise in the gym. The coroner disagreed. Sergeant | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
Russell Price top Gavin for that second round of so-called beasting | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
on the understanding it was what his superiors wanted. He found himself | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
the wrong side of a system that senior officers should have known | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
about and should have stopped. His family have called the changes that | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
have been brought in since Davin 's law. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
How do you think Davin Williams' family will be feeling tonight? | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
They'll be pleased that the coroner took 26 days to listen to the | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
witnesses and go into the detail of what went on that day. They will be | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
pleased with the public apology they have had from the Army. And they | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
will be pleased it has been publicly acknowledged that Gavin 's behaviour | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
that they was not investigated properly. Yes, he had taken drugs | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
and got drunk but he did not have his side of the story heard properly | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
and risk assessment was not done properly that day. They will be | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
frustrated that so many witnesses said they could not run under what | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
happened that day. It was a long time ago but they feel some were | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
reluctant in what they described to the coroner. And they are still | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
frustrated that some senior officers claimed they did not know what was | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
going on. I think the coroner made it clear today that he was satisfied | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
that changes have been made to stop this kind of thing happening in | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
future and that is really all Gavin 's mother wanted to come out of this | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
process. Rural councils say they get a "raw | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
deal" and want more funding after repeatedly being hit | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
by the deepest cuts. The body representing councils | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
is calling for a grant As our political correspondent | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
Daniel Davies reports, it's the subject of bargaining | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
in the National Assembly. I wish you all a happy New Year | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
and a prosperous and more Brisk business at the livestock | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
market near Brecon this morning. A decent start to the New Year, | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
says the auctioneer, Local councils serving | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the countryside face deep It all puts pressure | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
on services and on council tax. You seem quite a few | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
new cuts by the council They are cutting back | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
but the council tax is going up. We have not got a very high standard | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
of living, we have worked very hard Long hours, low pay, | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
a lot have gone without. Why should Powys be cut more | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
than any other area? Why should we be affected | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
more than other areas? In fact, among the 22 authorities, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
the council here, Powys, faces the biggest budget cut | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
from the Welsh Government next year. There is 27 million pounds worth | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
of savings that have got to be It is really hard searching | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
where we are going to take Do you think that rural counties | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
like yours are getting a raw deal? Other authorities have | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
got their problems as well but I am highlighting today the problem | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
that we have got here in Powys. Councils want up ?4.74 million | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
for the worst hit authorities. Powys, Ceredigion and Monmouthshire | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
face losing more than Compare that to Cardiff, | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
which will get the smallest But even with those cuts, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
funding per person will still be higher in rural Powys | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
and Ceredigion than in Cardiff. A better deal for rural Wales, | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
that is what the Conservatives and Plaid Cymru have called | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
for and the Liberal Democrats now say they will vote against the local | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
government settlement too. That is despite the Lib Dems | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
signing up to the overall It heaps more pressure | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
on the ministers in the Labour Party but has left the Lib Dems facing | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
accusations of hypocrisy. I am interested in securing | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
additional resources I will leave the name calling | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
to them and I will continue to press the Welsh Government and make | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
the case for additional resources. It is being haggled over | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
but the opposition say as things stand, they will vote down | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
these funding plans. Ministers are talking to them | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
and say they will reflect Councils want a new formula | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
to hand-out the funding, when they say that is not | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
squeeze rural authorities. Police searching for a missing | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
21-year-old man have found a body Officers have informed | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the family of Jordan Myers, who hasn't been seen | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
since the 20th of December, after failing to return home | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
from a night out in the city centre. Police divers, dogs and a helicopter | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
have been searching the area A 29-year-old man has appeared | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
in court, accused of causing the deaths of a baby boy | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
and his father in Cardiff Kyle Kennedy, who's | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
from the Grangetown area of the city Simon Lewis died after the crash | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
on Lamby Way on New Year's Eve. His baby son later died in hospital, | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
after being delivered by Caesarian Fly-grazing of horses on public land | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
without permission is a long There are now calls | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
for a more effective policy A campaign group has come up | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
with a plan it hopes the council will adopt to bring an end | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
to this illegal activity. When I met David back in the summer, | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
this was the scene. Dozens of horses fly-grazing | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
on public land and some of them appeared to have been tethered | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
for long periods of time. More than six months | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
on and I revisited the same site and although there were | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
fewer horses this time, In an attempt to take action | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
against those responsible, Friends of Swansea Horses, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
with the backing of other animal welfare groups, has drawn up a plan | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
they hope will effect real change. There should be a phased ban | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
on the tethering or fly-grazing of horses on public | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
spaces across Swansea. In order to do that, | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
we would recommend that the council used the powers it has, | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
something called a Public Spaces Protection Order, which enables them | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
to prohibit activities in certain areas where they are detrimental | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
to the quality-of-life Last year, the Control of Horses Act | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
came in to force, which aims to deter people from grazing | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
their animals on public But tethering itself is not illegal, | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
however according to the RSPCA, it is not recommended as a viable | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
way to keep a horse. And the Animal Welfare Act says | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
owners have a responsibility for the welfare of their horses, | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
making sure they are not tethered for long periods of time and have | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
access to shelter and water. These horses are worth | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
about five, ?10. They are only of value to the people | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
who are tethering them and selling And the idea of tethering is, | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
I don't have to pay rent for a field, I don't have to pay | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
anyone, and fly-grazing is the same, It is a cheap form of owning | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
a horse, whereas really if you own a horse, you should be | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
a responsible person and make Having met with the council's | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
scrutiny committee working group yesterday, Friends of Swansea Horses | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
hopes this is a step towards tackling at least | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
a decade old problem. The working group will now consider | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
the proposed plan before making Much more to come before 7pm: | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Last minute preparations before the Welsh Grand National, | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
set to run tomorrow after getting cancelled becasue of bad | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
weather over Christmas. And it's a photo seen | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
across the world, but who owns How much should our councils | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
spend on the arts? Cardiff Council is proposing cuts | :13:02. | :13:17. | |
of around ?700,000 saying it simply cannot afford to keep | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
handing out grants. Campaigners have promised to fight | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
the plans, which include cuts Our arts and media correspondent, | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Huw Thomas, reports. Art in the city, Cardiff | :13:24. | :13:44. | |
contemporary brought new works to the streets of the capital but the | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
young festival may not return after the council announced its funding | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
will end if budget plans go ahead. The cuts to big events and community | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
projects have prompted a campaign group vowing to fight the changes. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
We feel that it is the People's Council. It is not our sector that | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
is at stake here. It is the People's city. And we know how much the arts | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
brings to the city, what the benefits are. We are concerned that | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
the council do not truly recognise exactly what that is. The planned | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
cuts at Cardiff Council include ending its support for the | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
international arts prize, as well as Cardiff contemporary and the Singer | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
of the World competition and campaigners say the budget proposals | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
contain around ?700,000 of other cuts that will affect arts and | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
culture in the city. Cardiff Council says it is facing unprecedented | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
financial pressure and it wants people to contribute to the | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
consultation about its new budget but this will boils down to the | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
fundamental task of trying to balance the books. The singer of the | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
world competition has been a staple of Cardiff 's cultural scene since | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the 80s but do people in the city think their council tax should | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
support it? What you make of that? I thought it was very beautiful. I | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
think public money should be used to pay for this. It is about getting a | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
range of audience coming in to see work like that and I think that is | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
also very important when we are talking about cuts. Who are we | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
getting the arts from? I am sure they can do it with fundraising. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
They can get it on the TV and get right from that. I do not think the | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
taxpayers should pay for it at all. It is grassroots arts and education | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
as well. Most disadvantaged committees cannot access really | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
robust opportunities but if we engage with those communities there | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
is aspiration. There is a warning of worse to come. Ab until 2020, there | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
will be cuts and even after that, none of us know the future. If you | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
are in a service like the arts and would have relied on a grant in the | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
past, you have to get your head around the fact that Grant will | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
definitely be kept in the future. It might not even be there and then you | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
have to look for other sources of income. The council 's budget will | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
be decided next month with campaign is hoping it will not be a swansong | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
for culture in the capital. Reopening minor injury units | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
and halting plans to reorganise hospital services are among | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
the Welsh Conservatives' pledges, They also say they'd re-establish | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
care for complex births at Withybush Hospital | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
in Pembrokeshire, if they win power. We still want to see some radical | :16:27. | :16:42. | |
change in the NHS. We made it clear we have a policy for health | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
commissioners to make sure there is more direct accountability for local | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
health services to the people who receive them. This is not restrict | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
and as in any way but what it is saying is the last thing that the | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
national Health Service needs in our country is another major overhaul | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
and reorganisation. Ahead of his side's tie | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
at Oxford on Sunday, Swansea City's interim manager, | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
Alan Curtis, hasn't ruled out staying in charge at the Liberty | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
Stadium beyond the summer. He suggested he could be persuaded | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
to carry on if things went well. Cardiff City face Shrewsbury | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
in the Cup and Newport County are in the 3rd round for | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
the first time in 30 years. He says he has settled | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
into the role of manager. Alan Curtis, whose side travels | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
to Oxford this weekend, has got the job until the end | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
of the season, but could he be Once you get tasked | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
with the opportunity to make sure that the club stays | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
in the Premiership, then obviously, It is difficult because it is | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
something I have never really sort of aspired to be a manager, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
especially a manager Obviously, we will see | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
how this period goes. This goal against Barnet ensured | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
Newport County's place It is the first time they have | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
reached this stage of the cap More than 5000 tickets have been | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
sold for the match at Rodney Parade Speculation over whether manager | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
John Sheridan will leave for Notts County has been | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
the backdrop to The club has again pointed out that | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
no approach has been made. Cardiff City know how to make it | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
all the way to Wembley. They reached the final | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
just eight years ago, This season's campaign | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
starts against Shrewsbury, Manager Russell Slade says | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
he would welcome a decent cup run. I think it is great to have a cup | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
run and you can kind of build momentum, as I have said before, | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
and that can bring an added You have talked about making | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
a change, it might even throw up somebody that has such a good | :18:53. | :19:08. | |

until the start of the Six Nations, there'll be plenty of attention | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
on the fly-half battle with Wales and Ospreys number 10 Dan Biggar | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
coming up against Ireland's opposite The game's on Scrum V Live over | :19:50. | :19:51. | |

National say they're optimistic the race will go ahead tomorrow, | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
after it was called-off over It's the third time it's had to be | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
re-scheduled in six years. But those running Chepstow | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Racecourse have told me that moving the race is damaging business, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
with around half of those who bought A welcome respite | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
from the recent rain. Here, the weather forecast | :20:12. | :20:25. | |
is monitored every hour and while prize money | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
for the Welsh Grand National has increased to ?120,000, | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
organisers are expecting to make It is damaging to the business, | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
it is frustrating. We would make around probably 40% | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
less in tomorrow's rerun than we would from | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
the original date. But we have got a big | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
year ahead at Chepstow, we have got lots of other | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
big events coming up, It puts a little bit more pressure | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
on those days to make a bit more money to alleviate the loss | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
from the original fixture. Fewer people turning up | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
will hit profits hard. Money has been spent on marquees | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
that are no longer neaded. 1700 people had booked | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
into hospitality, on top of that more than 5500 tickets | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
had been sold. The best advance bookings this place | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
has seen in a decade. Overall, organisers were hoping | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
to welcome 11,000 people Now they can expect | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
just half that figure. The course has benefited from breaks | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
in the weather this week. It only needs to be dry for around | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
ten hours for it to become safe What we don't want is standing | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
water, with horses jumping, We have sort of two miles of running | :21:25. | :21:37. | |
rail on the track. We have moved it where we have | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
needed to to avoid some of the waterlogged ground | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
and basically, it is just monitoring the weather and removing water | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
where we can with pump is. Odds are, there cannot be better | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
places to train than this The Pembrokeshire coast, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
a beautiful backdrop and trainer Rebecca Curtis has two | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
horses in the running, It is very, very soft ground | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
there but luckily both of ours love that ground so it should | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
not be a problem. The Welsh is known for being | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
a proper staying race in gruelling conditions normally, | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
so I think if you took that away and had it on good ground, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
it would not be the same Organisers say they are not | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
considering moving future Welsh Grand National | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
is on the 27th of December, saying it is a popular time of year | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
for families to watch sport. But they concede they may be forced | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
to make a change if future meetings keep being postponed | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
because of bad weather. The race starts earlier | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
than planned, at 1:45pm, to help ensure the best possible | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
conditions for the race. It was set up by a Monmouthshire | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
photographer, but it was the monkey that actually pressed the button | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
to take the picture. Well, it's been at the centre | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
of an unusual American legal battle this week over who | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
owns the copyright. She seems rather pleased | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
with herself, and so she should be. She has just taken | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
a world-famous picture. The first and quite possibly only | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
professional standard animal selfie. The snap was devised by wildlife | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
photographer David Slater, But far from a lucky coincidence, | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
he says it took him days to set up. I set a trap up, put | :23:24. | :23:41. | |
a cable release on it, dangled it in the air for them | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
and then walked away because they would not approach | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
the camera if I was there. So I walked away and I watched | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
the camera all alone on the forest floor and sure enough, the monkeys, | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
and the one that had played with it before, came straight in, | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
started playing with it, The button made the shutter noise | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
and they started looking the lens. And that is how that | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
picture was taken. David spent weeks in | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
the Indonesian jungle. When he returned, events | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
took an unexpected turn. An animal rights group argued | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
in an American court that this monkey owned the image and should | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
benefit from it financially. This week, and American judge ruled | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
copyright protection did not David is now eyeing up a trip | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
to California to set All he has to do now | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
is convince another wild animal Wildlife closer to home | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
will be hoping for some dry It is a mixed picture this weekend, | :24:36. | :24:56. | |
Jamie. I can promise you some dry weather over the weekend but yes, | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
there is more rain and showers over the weekend. Heavy in places, a | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
little more snow on the mountains. This picture shows a hail shower | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
over Llanberis. Tonight 's showery rain will spread across the country. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Should turn dry again later in the night. The wind picking up on the | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
south and west coat. Temperatures dropping as low as two or three | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
Celsius. A big area of low pressure over the Atlantic tomorrow. A Met | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
Office yellow warning in force for parts of south and south-west Wales | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
tomorrow in to Sunday. We are looking at another 20 millimetres of | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
rain in places. And as to cause some surface water flooding. This is | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Quite breezy and the West. Plenty of | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
cloud wrote. Also gusty winds on the Lleyn Peninsula. Very mixed | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
tomorrow. It may brighten up for a while. A little sunshine, but it | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
looks like turning wetter as we go through the afternoon. Temperatures | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
7-10dC. If you are heading to Chepstow for the Welsh Grand | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
National tomorrow, it may dry up for a few hours but more rain is | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
expected in the afternoon. A little snow on high ground. Low pressure | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
will be centred over Scotland on Sunday. That means a mixture of | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
sunshine and showers. Breezy on Sunday. Sunny intervals and showers | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
moving through on the breeze. Heavy downpours in places. A little sleet | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
and snow on the hills and mountains. As we head into next week, the wind | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
is going to shift ground more into the North, dragging some cold arctic | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
air with it and that will bring a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
Showers turning wintry in places. Mid week onwards, but no sign yet of | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
any widespread snow. There is more heavy rain and widespread showers on | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
the way over the weekend. Keep your umbrella handy. Tonight 's headlines | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
from the VC, a coroner has found the Army failed to identify or prevent | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
the so-called beasting of private Gavin Williams which led to his | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
death. The 22-year-old was ordered to undergo intensive exercise as a | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
punishment for drunken behaviour ten years ago. | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
I will be back after the BBC News at ten. Have a great weekend. Good | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
night. | :27:42. | :27:43. |
