Good evening.

0:00:120:00:14

Labour in Westminster need to "calm down" and concentrate on holding

0:00:140:00:17

the Conservative government to account.

0:00:170:00:19

That's what the party's spokesperson in the House of Lords,

0:00:190:00:22

Baroness Eluned Morgan, has told BBC Wales.

0:00:220:00:25

Speaking on Sunday Politics Wales she said that arguments around

0:00:250:00:27

Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet reshuffle were "distracting"

0:00:270:00:31

from Labours' attempts to win support in May's Welsh Assembly

0:00:310:00:33

elections.

0:00:330:00:34

Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

0:00:340:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:44

Jeremy Corbyn has struggled to keep his MPs onside.

0:00:440:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:51

reshuffled his Shadow Cabinet.

0:00:510:00:55

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

0:00:550:00:59

cooler heads are needed.

0:00:590:01:01

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

0:01:010:01:04

focus our opposition on the Tories, not internally.

0:01:040:01:08

Baroness Morgan has her sights on sitting in Cardiff Bay

0:01:080:01:10

as a candidate for May's Assembly elections.

0:01:100:01:13

The danger she says is that the infighting

0:01:130:01:15

in Westminster drowns out the party's message.

0:01:150:01:17

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

0:01:170:01:20

we are able to affect change here and we have got

0:01:200:01:23

to focus on that.

0:01:230:01:27

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

0:01:270:01:30

and put to one side.

0:01:300:01:31

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.

0:01:340:01:40

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

0:01:400:01:45

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

0:01:450:01:48

leader of Welsh Labour.

0:01:480:01:49

Somebody different, somebody more credible than Jeremy Corbyn.

0:01:490:01:53

When Jeremy Corbyn visited Wales in November, Carwyn Jones called

0:01:530:01:55

for Labour MPs to stop the infighting but it fell

0:01:550:01:58

on deaf ears.

0:01:580:02:00

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

0:02:000:02:03

made once again.

0:02:030:02:09

A body found in Swansea marina has been formally identified

0:02:090:02:12

as 21-year-old Jordan Miers who went missing before Christmas,

0:02:120:02:15

following a night out.

0:02:150:02:17

Children s football coach Mr Miers was last seen on the 19th December

0:02:170:02:20

near the city centre.

0:02:200:02:21

Police divers, dogs and a helicopter searched a stretch of the River Tawe

0:02:210:02:24

following his disappearance.

0:02:240:02:30

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

0:02:300:02:33

was found in a lane in Neath Port Talbot has been

0:02:330:02:35

released on bail.

0:02:350:02:36

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

0:02:360:02:38

in a lane in Briton Ferry last week.

0:02:380:02:43

An historic chapel in Swansea dating back almost 140 years has

0:02:450:02:47

held its final service.

0:02:470:02:48

The congregation of the Grade II listed Siloh Newydd Welsh Chapel has

0:02:480:02:51

dwindled from 600 to just six.

0:02:510:02:52

There are concerns now about the future of the building.

0:02:520:02:59

It has not been the best of days for Welsh football.

0:02:590:03:02

Swansea City are out of the FA Cup.

0:03:020:03:04

The Swans lost 3-2 away to League Two side Oxford United.

0:03:040:03:06

Cardiff City are also out.

0:03:060:03:08

They were beaten by League One strugglers Shrewsbury.

0:03:080:03:10

Here's Tomos Dafydd.

0:03:100:03:12

For Swansea City, Premier League survival is the priority,

0:03:130:03:16

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

0:03:160:03:18

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

0:03:180:03:22

and the new look side went ahead.

0:03:220:03:31

Jefferson Montero was just magical.

0:03:310:03:33

But the Welsh side went on to surrender their lead.

0:03:330:03:35

First conceding a penalty and then this, Oxford's second goal.

0:03:350:03:37

Swansea looked second-best.

0:03:370:03:41

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

0:03:410:03:44

easy against the rusty Swansea defence, 3-1.

0:03:440:03:46

Bafetimbi Gomis pulled one back for the Swans,

0:03:460:03:48

but Oxford held on.

0:03:480:03:54

It's a year since Cardiff reverted from red to their traditional

0:03:540:03:57

colours and there was plenty of blue in the stadium -

0:03:570:04:00

mainly empty seats.

0:04:000:04:02

The second lowest football crowd here, just 4,700 witnessed a display

0:04:020:04:04

devoid of any passion.

0:04:040:04:09

This was one of only a few chances for the home side.

0:04:090:04:12

Shrewsbury arrived having conceded seven goals last week.

0:04:120:04:18

That nightmare soon faded when former Wrexham striker

0:04:180:04:20

Andy Mangan put the league one side ahead.

0:04:200:04:23

The home fans unhappy at full-time.

0:04:230:04:25

Another upset and a bleak day for Welsh clubs in the FA Cup.

0:04:250:04:34

Time for a quick look at the weather and tomorrow will be rather cold

0:04:360:04:40

with a mix of sunshine and scattered heavy showers.

0:04:400:04:42

The showers falling as sleet or snow on higher ground.

0:04:420:04:44

Highs of eight Celsius.

0:04:440:04:45

That's Wales Today.

0:04:450:04:47

We'll be back with updates from around 6.30am tomorrow morning,

0:04:470:04:49

but from all of us on the weekend team, thanks for your company.

0:04:490:04:52

Goodnight.
