That's it.

Good evening.

0:00:120:00:14

Labour's spokesperson in the House of Lords has told BBC

0:00:140:00:17

Wales her colleagues in Westminster need to "calm down" and focus

0:00:170:00:20

on holding the Conservative government to account,

0:00:200:00:23

rather than infighting.

0:00:230:00:25

Baroness Eluned Morgan also told the Sunday Politics Wales that

0:00:250:00:28

arguments around Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet reshuffle

0:00:280:00:31

were "distracting" from Labour's attempts to win support

0:00:310:00:34

in May's Welsh Assembly elections.

0:00:340:00:38

He became Labour leader with a huge majority last year but ever since,

0:00:380:00:43

Jeremy Corbyn has struggled to keep his MPs onside.

0:00:430:00:46

Last week, three of the party's spokesmen quit after Mr Corbyn

0:00:460:00:50

reshuffled his Shadow Cabinet.

0:00:500:00:52

Today, the woman who speaks on Wales for the party in the Lords said

0:00:520:00:56

cooler heads are needed.

0:00:560:00:58

My message would be, everybody calm down a bit and let's

0:00:580:01:01

focus our opposition on the Tories, not internally.

0:01:010:01:05

Baroness Morgan has her sights on sitting in Cardiff Bay

0:01:050:01:08

as a candidate for May's Assembly elections.

0:01:080:01:11

The danger she says is that the infighting

0:01:110:01:14

in Westminster drowns out the party's message.

0:01:140:01:17

The key thing is to understand that Labour is in power in Wales,

0:01:170:01:21

we are able to affect change here and we have got

0:01:210:01:24

to focus on that.

0:01:240:01:26

Anything that is a distraction in Wales from that, we should try

0:01:260:01:29

and put to one side.

0:01:290:01:31

This academic thinks Labour will be making sure its leader in Wales,

0:01:310:01:34

Carwyn Jones, is centre stage during the Assembly elections.

0:01:340:01:38

What we will see over the next four to five months is Welsh Labour

0:01:380:01:42

trying to build a much clearer image of Carwyn Jones as the

0:01:420:01:46

leader of Welsh Labour.

0:01:460:01:49

Somebody different, somebody more credible than Jeremy Corbyn.

0:01:490:01:53

When Jeremy Corbyn visited Wales in November, Carwyn Jones called

0:01:530:01:57

for Labour MPs to stop the infighting but it fell

0:01:570:02:00

on deaf ears.

0:02:000:02:01

As May's election draws near, the call for unity is having to be

0:02:010:02:05

made once again.

0:02:050:02:07

Police say a body found in Swansea Marina has been formally

0:02:070:02:11

identified as a 21-year-old man who went missing before Christmas

0:02:110:02:14

following a night out.

0:02:140:02:16

Jordan Miers was last seen on December 19th,

0:02:160:02:18

near the city centre.

0:02:180:02:20

Police divers, dogs and a helicopter searched an area near the River Tawe

0:02:200:02:23

following his disappearance.

0:02:230:02:25

Tributes have been paid to the former football coach.

0:02:250:02:28

Jordan was a very modest pupil, very, very hard working,

0:02:280:02:32

who went on to become very successful with us at school.

0:02:320:02:36

Very popular with his peers and teachers alike

0:02:360:02:39

and created a real impression.

0:02:390:02:41

He was a real gentleman.

0:02:410:02:46

A 44-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder after a body

0:02:460:02:49

was found in a lane in Neath Port Talbot has been

0:02:490:02:51

released on bail.

0:02:510:02:53

The body of 46-year-old Kevin Barry Mahoney was found

0:02:530:02:55

in a lane in Briton Ferry last week.

0:02:550:02:57

Police investigations are continuing.

0:02:570:02:59

A chapel in Swansea which dates back almost 140 years has

0:02:590:03:02

held its final service.

0:03:020:03:04

Campaigners had tried to save the Grade II-listed

0:03:040:03:06

Siloh Newydd Welsh Independent Chapel in Landore.

0:03:060:03:09

It can seat over a thousand people.

0:03:090:03:11

But over the years, the congregation has dwindled from 600 to just six.

0:03:110:03:15

After an 18 month effort to keep the doors open, they've been forced

0:03:150:03:17

to admit defeat as the costs were too high.

0:03:170:03:20

There comes a time when what we were taking in was not even paying

0:03:200:03:23

for the insurance, let alone the ministers,

0:03:230:03:25

so that was the decision,

0:03:250:03:27

I think we have come to the end of the road.

0:03:270:03:30

"A huge setback for the club" - that's how Swansea City's interim

0:03:300:03:34

manager described his side being knocked out of the FA Cup.

0:03:340:03:37

The Swans fell victims to the first major giant-killing of the FA Cup

0:03:370:03:40

third round when they lost 3-2 away to League Two side Oxford United.

0:03:400:03:45

Tomos Dafydd was watching.

0:03:450:03:47

For Swansea City, Premier League survival is the priority

0:03:470:03:50

but could a cup run help kick-start their season?

0:03:500:03:53

With important league matters ahead, Swansea made ten changes to the team

0:03:530:03:59

and the new-look side went ahead.

0:03:590:04:02

Jefferson Montero, just magical.

0:04:020:04:08

That was the only cause for celebration for the travelling

0:04:080:04:11

fans all afternoon.

0:04:110:04:13

Swansea surrendered their lead.

0:04:130:04:16

This risky challenge led to a penalty.

0:04:160:04:18

And after the break, Oxford got their second goal.

0:04:180:04:22

Swansea looked second best.

0:04:220:04:26

More than 50 league places separate the sides but Oxford made it look

0:04:260:04:32

easy against the rusty Swansea defence.

0:04:320:04:35

3-1.

0:04:350:04:37

Bafetimbi Gomis pulled one back for the Swans but Oxford held on.

0:04:370:04:41

We made changes but we have to have one eye on the Premiership,

0:04:410:04:44

but I thought the team today that we picked was strong enough

0:04:440:04:47

to have got the result today but, all credit to Oxford,

0:04:470:04:50

they were the better team.

0:04:500:04:52

So, disappointment in defeat but it could prove to be

0:04:520:04:55

a blessing in disguise.

0:04:550:04:58

The Swans can concentrate solely on staying in the Premier League.

0:04:580:05:02

Staying with football, and Wales are expected to play

0:05:020:05:06

Northern Ireland in a friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on March

0:05:060:05:10

24th as part of preparations for the Euro 2016 finals.

0:05:100:05:14

Wales will be hoping Gareth Bale can repeat the performance he showed

0:05:140:05:18

for Real Madrid last night.

0:05:180:05:22

He scored a hat-trick in the first game under new manager

0:05:220:05:24

Zinedine Zidane.

0:05:240:05:26

The Scarlets are back at the top of the Pro12 tonight

0:05:260:05:30

after a dramatic win over Connacht.

0:05:300:05:32

The Welsh side were 10-0 down but fought back with tries

0:05:320:05:35

from to Steff Evans and Michael Collins.

0:05:350:05:37

Connacht went ahead again with two minutes left but Steven Shingler

0:05:370:05:40

kicked a last-minute penalty to win the game.

0:05:400:05:43

The weather forecast now, and tonight will be cold with broken

0:05:430:05:46

cloud and scattered showers.

0:05:460:05:47

Lows of two Celsius.

0:05:470:05:49

Tomorrow will stay cold with a mix of sunshine and showers.

0:05:490:05:52

We're back with another update at 10.20pm.

0:05:520:05:54

But for now, from all of us on the weekend team, goodbye.
