0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's it.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Good evening.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Labour's spokesperson in the House of Lords has told BBC

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Wales her colleagues in Westminster need to "calm down" and focus

0:00:20 > 0:00:23on holding the Conservative government to account,

0:00:23 > 0:00:25rather than infighting.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Baroness Eluned Morgan also told the Sunday Politics Wales that

0:00:28 > 0:00:31arguments around Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet reshuffle

0:00:31 > 0:00:34were "distracting" from Labour's attempts to win support

0:00:34 > 0:00:38in May's Welsh Assembly elections.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43He became Labour leader with a huge majority last year but ever since,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Jeremy Corbyn has struggled to keep his MPs onside.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Last week, three of the party's spokesmen quit after Mr Corbyn

0:00:50 > 0:00:52reshuffled his Shadow Cabinet.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Today, the woman who speaks on Wales for the party in the Lords said

0:00:56 > 0:00:58cooler heads are needed.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01My message would be, everybody calm down a bit and let's

0:01:01 > 0:01:05focus our opposition on the Tories, not internally.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Baroness Morgan has her sights on sitting in Cardiff Bay

0:01:08 > 0:01:11as a candidate for May's Assembly elections.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14The danger she says is that the infighting

0:01:14 > 0:01:17in Westminster drowns out the party's message.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21The key thing is to understand that Labour is in power in Wales,

0:01:21 > 0:01:24we are able to affect change here and we have got

0:01:24 > 0:01:26to focus on that.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Anything that is a distraction in Wales from that, we should try

0:01:29 > 0:01:31and put to one side.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34This academic thinks Labour will be making sure its leader in Wales,

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Carwyn Jones, is centre stage during the Assembly elections.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42What we will see over the next four to five months is Welsh Labour

0:01:42 > 0:01:46trying to build a much clearer image of Carwyn Jones as the

0:01:46 > 0:01:49leader of Welsh Labour.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Somebody different, somebody more credible than Jeremy Corbyn.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57When Jeremy Corbyn visited Wales in November, Carwyn Jones called

0:01:57 > 0:02:00for Labour MPs to stop the infighting but it fell

0:02:00 > 0:02:01on deaf ears.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05As May's election draws near, the call for unity is having to be

0:02:05 > 0:02:07made once again.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Police say a body found in Swansea Marina has been formally

0:02:11 > 0:02:14identified as a 21-year-old man who went missing before Christmas

0:02:14 > 0:02:16following a night out.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Jordan Miers was last seen on December 19th,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20near the city centre.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Police divers, dogs and a helicopter searched an area near the River Tawe

0:02:23 > 0:02:25following his disappearance.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Tributes have been paid to the former football coach.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Jordan was a very modest pupil, very, very hard working,

0:02:32 > 0:02:36who went on to become very successful with us at school.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Very popular with his peers and teachers alike

0:02:39 > 0:02:41and created a real impression.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46He was a real gentleman.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49A 44-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder after a body

0:02:49 > 0:02:51was found in a lane in Neath Port Talbot has been

0:02:51 > 0:02:53released on bail.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55The body of 46-year-old Kevin Barry Mahoney was found

0:02:55 > 0:02:57in a lane in Briton Ferry last week.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Police investigations are continuing.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02A chapel in Swansea which dates back almost 140 years has

0:03:02 > 0:03:04held its final service.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Campaigners had tried to save the Grade II-listed

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Siloh Newydd Welsh Independent Chapel in Landore.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11It can seat over a thousand people.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15But over the years, the congregation has dwindled from 600 to just six.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17After an 18 month effort to keep the doors open, they've been forced

0:03:17 > 0:03:20to admit defeat as the costs were too high.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23There comes a time when what we were taking in was not even paying

0:03:23 > 0:03:25for the insurance, let alone the ministers,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27so that was the decision,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think we have come to the end of the road.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34"A huge setback for the club" - that's how Swansea City's interim

0:03:34 > 0:03:37manager described his side being knocked out of the FA Cup.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40The Swans fell victims to the first major giant-killing of the FA Cup

0:03:40 > 0:03:45third round when they lost 3-2 away to League Two side Oxford United.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Tomos Dafydd was watching.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50For Swansea City, Premier League survival is the priority

0:03:50 > 0:03:53but could a cup run help kick-start their season?

0:03:53 > 0:03:59With important league matters ahead, Swansea made ten changes to the team

0:03:59 > 0:04:02and the new-look side went ahead.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08Jefferson Montero, just magical.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11That was the only cause for celebration for the travelling

0:04:11 > 0:04:13fans all afternoon.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Swansea surrendered their lead.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18This risky challenge led to a penalty.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22And after the break, Oxford got their second goal.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Swansea looked second best.

0:04:26 > 0:04:32More than 50 league places separate the sides but Oxford made it look

0:04:32 > 0:04:35easy against the rusty Swansea defence.

0:04:35 > 0:04:373-1.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Bafetimbi Gomis pulled one back for the Swans but Oxford held on.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44We made changes but we have to have one eye on the Premiership,

0:04:44 > 0:04:47but I thought the team today that we picked was strong enough

0:04:47 > 0:04:50to have got the result today but, all credit to Oxford,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52they were the better team.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55So, disappointment in defeat but it could prove to be

0:04:55 > 0:04:58a blessing in disguise.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02The Swans can concentrate solely on staying in the Premier League.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Staying with football, and Wales are expected to play

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Northern Ireland in a friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on March

0:05:10 > 0:05:1424th as part of preparations for the Euro 2016 finals.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Wales will be hoping Gareth Bale can repeat the performance he showed

0:05:18 > 0:05:22for Real Madrid last night.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24He scored a hat-trick in the first game under new manager

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Zinedine Zidane.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30The Scarlets are back at the top of the Pro12 tonight

0:05:30 > 0:05:32after a dramatic win over Connacht.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35The Welsh side were 10-0 down but fought back with tries

0:05:35 > 0:05:37from to Steff Evans and Michael Collins.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Connacht went ahead again with two minutes left but Steven Shingler

0:05:40 > 0:05:43kicked a last-minute penalty to win the game.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46The weather forecast now, and tonight will be cold with broken

0:05:46 > 0:05:47cloud and scattered showers.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Lows of two Celsius.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Tomorrow will stay cold with a mix of sunshine and showers.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54We're back with another update at 10.20pm.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56But for now, from all of us on the weekend team, goodbye.
