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

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Labour in Westminster need to "calm down" and concentrate on holding

0:00:17 > 0:00:19the Conservative government to account.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22That's what the party's spokesperson in the House of Lords,

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Baroness Eluned Morgan, has told BBC Wales.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Speaking on Sunday Politics Wales she said that arguments around

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet reshuffle were "distracting"

0:00:31 > 0:00:33from Labours' attempts to win support in May's Welsh Assembly

0:00:33 > 0:00:34elections.

0:00:34 > 0:00:40Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44He became Labour leader with a huge majority last year but ever since,

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Jeremy Corbyn has struggled to keep his MPs onside.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Last week, three of the party's spokesmen quit after Mr Corbyn

0:00:51 > 0:00:55reshuffled his Shadow Cabinet.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Today, the woman who speaks on Wales for the party in the Lords said

0:00:59 > 0:01:01cooler heads are needed.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04My message would be, everybody calm down a bit and let's

0:01:04 > 0:01:08focus our opposition on the Tories, not internally.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Baroness Morgan has her sights on sitting in Cardiff Bay

0:01:10 > 0:01:13as a candidate for May's Assembly elections.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15The danger she says is that the infighting

0:01:15 > 0:01:17in Westminster drowns out the party's message.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20The key thing is to understand that Labour is in power in Wales,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23we are able to affect change here and we have got

0:01:23 > 0:01:27to focus on that.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Anything that is a distraction in Wales from that, we should try

0:01:30 > 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 > 0:01:40Carwyn Jones, is centre stage during the Assembly elections.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45What we will see over the next four to five months is Welsh Labour

0:01:45 > 0:01:48trying to build a much clearer image of Carwyn Jones as the

0:01:48 > 0:01:49leader of Welsh Labour.

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

0:01:53 > 0:01:55When Jeremy Corbyn visited Wales in November, Carwyn Jones called

0:01:55 > 0:01:58for Labour MPs to stop the infighting but it fell

0:01:58 > 0:02:00on deaf ears.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03As May's election draws near, the call for unity is having to be

0:02:03 > 0:02:09made once again.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51The congregation of the Grade II listed Siloh Newydd Welsh Chapel has

0:02:51 > 0:02:52dwindled from 600 to just six.

0:02:52 > 0:02:59There are concerns now about the future of the building.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02It has not been the best of days for Welsh football.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Cardiff City are also out.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10They were beaten by League One strugglers Shrewsbury.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Here's Tomos Dafydd.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16For Swansea City, Premier League survival is the priority,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18but could a cup run help kick-start their season?

0:03:18 > 0:03:22With important league matters ahead, Swansea made ten changes to the team

0:03:22 > 0:03:31and the new look side went ahead.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Jefferson Montero was just magical.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35But the Welsh side went on to surrender their lead.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37First conceding a penalty and then this, Oxford's second goal.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Swansea looked second-best.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44More than 50 league places separate the sides, but Oxford made it look

0:03:44 > 0:03:46easy against the rusty Swansea defence, 3-1.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Bafetimbi Gomis pulled one back for the Swans,

0:03:48 > 0:03:54but Oxford held on.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's a year since Cardiff reverted from red to their traditional

0:04:02 > 0:04:04The second lowest football crowd here, just 4,700 witnessed a display

0:04:04 > 0:04:09devoid of any passion.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12This was one of only a few chances for the home side.

0:04:12 > 0:04:18Shrewsbury arrived having conceded seven goals last week.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20That nightmare soon faded when former Wrexham striker

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Andy Mangan put the league one side ahead.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25The home fans unhappy at full-time.

0:04:25 > 0:04:34Another upset and a bleak day for Welsh clubs in the FA Cup.
