punishment carried out on a very hot day.

An inquest criticises army officials.

:00:21.:00:21.

What happened to Gavin was wrong, plain and simple.

Fly-grazing of horses is a long standing problem in Swansea.

:00:52.:00:53.

Now campaigners call for more effective action.

Protestors gather to fight the proposals.

Swansea's interim manager, Alan Curtis, hasn't ruled out

Private Gavin Williams died because of an unofficial punishment

The conclusion of a coroner after the 22-year-old from Hengoed

near Caerphilly was ordered to undergo intensive exercise known

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

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

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

officer demanded Gavin was brought in front of him hot and sweaty. A

:03:52.:03:57.

the time of Gavin 's death. This was unacceptable. We have already

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

:04:50.: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

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

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

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

for the worst hit authorities. Powys, Ceredigion and Monmouthshire

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

accusations of hypocrisy. I am interested in securing

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

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

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,

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

:16:24.: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
