Tonight's headlines: A world first for Wales. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Work starts to transform an empty factory on Anglesey into a green | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
energy plant that could create 1,700 jobs. | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
I'm at the heart of Anglesey Aluminium. It closed three years ago | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
but it's being offered a new feature generating electricity and growing | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
vegetables and prawns. Also tonight, Sian Davies | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
from Tregaron lost all contact with her family after joining | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
a cult in the seventies. Today, its leader is | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
jailed for 23 years. It was the biggest "crash for cash' | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
insurance fraud scam ever Today, a further five | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
people are sentenced. Cheryl James died | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
at Deepcut Barracks. Ahead of a new inquest, her father, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Des, tells of his torment over I am sure most fathers, if not all | :01:02. | :01:21. | |
fathers, that is a protective instinct. That is my job, that is | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
what they should be doing. And testing the Landrover prototype | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
on a Welsh beach. As the last one rolls off | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
the production line, how its origins trace | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
back to Anglesey. Work is starting on a billion pound | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
combined food and power plant on Anglesey, which could create more | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
than 1,700 jobs. It's being built on the former | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Anglesey Aluminium site, The company behind the technology, | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Orthios, say they'll produce The excess steam will then be used | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
to help to grow food in what's been Here's our Economics | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
Correspondent, Sarah Dickins. It dominated the area | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
and the economy for decades. More than 1,000 people worked | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
at Anglesey Aluminium Derelict for three years, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
it's about to be transformed so this vast site | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
produces energy and food. It's the result of an engineer | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
and architect developing We need to put mechanisms | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
in the world that are going to get us out of the quogmire | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
we are in and this is the solution. Use the heat, use | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
the power, combine it Each element of the business has | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
already been produced and is up and running | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
somewhere in the world. All we are doing really | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
is that we have all the bits of the jigsaw and we are putting it | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
all in one box and we have the team Waste wood would be burnt | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to generate electricity for homes. Rather than lose excess heat up | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the chimneys Orthios would use it Their waste in the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
water will act as a Steve Mallon worked | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
for many years at Anglesey It was a hot, heavy | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
and dirty industry. But now we are onto this | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
completely new venture. The mind boggles, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
some of what they are Hydroponics, the growing of fish, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
prawns, vegetables, lettuce plus the biomass part | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
of the facility as well. It's going to be a new | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
venture and we are really Plans offer 1200 construction | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
workers to transform the site while 500 people will have | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
permanent jobs producing Communities ride across | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
the island were shaken But if these plans come | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
to be there will be a new industry here not just power | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
but food as well and people from around the world | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
will come here to But at a moment the challenge | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
to develop the energy sector Energy Island may seem like a moat | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
concept but for people living here it could be the difference | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
between work and no work. What's important about this | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
development is it's the first renewal project that looks | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
like it's going ahead. There's a drive to make sure as much | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
as possible goes to local We have to try and make | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
sure that the right kind of training provision | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
is available to young people in particular and equip them | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
with the appropriate skills so that they do take advantage | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
of the opportunities. As with all innovations the project | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
needs to prove itself. This is definitely pushing | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
the boundaries of innovation and its takes an experiment | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
like this on a commercial scale to explore | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
whether the systems work. If it works, then I expected to be | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
much more widely adopted As the site takes on a new life | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
many will be watching Sarah, this is an ambitious project | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
with a massive budget of ?2 billion. How likely is it to | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
get off the ground? What is really interesting is that | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
the business plan has been long in the making. This has been a 10-year | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
project. They have not asked for any grants or loans from government | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
because they have worked out the business plan differently. They do | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
have Chinese backing if they want to turn to that. They have an offer of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
?1 billion for this particular plant and another billion for another | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
plan. We need to remember that as the scientists say, with things this | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
-- that I knew we don't really know if it's going to work until it's | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
been built. A few months ago the compare notes plans for a similar | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
site in Port Talbot. What is happening with that? They want to do | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
a similar thing they of burning waste wood and turning it into | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
energy and power. What a fantastic thing that would be in terms of | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
employment for the Port Talbot area with those 700 jobs going in the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
near future. But that project is at a different stage. There is no | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
building there yet and they are still working on the finality is of | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
that. But it is one of their long-term plans so in theory you | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
would see two of these plants, one input Albert and one in Holyhead. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Sian Davies from Tregaron and Ceredigion was an intelligent, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
attractive woman who lost all contact with her family | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
after joining a Maoist cult in the seventies. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Today, the leader of that cult, 75-year-old Aravindan Balakrishnan, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
who committed a string of sex assaults and kept his and Sian's | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
daughter captive in London for three decades, | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
The 75-year-old called himself Comrade Bala | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
and brainwashed his cult into thinking he had god-like powers. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Described as feisty, intelligent and head strong | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
But by 1975 Sian Davies from Tregaron had given up | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
possessions and joined a Maoist cult in south London. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Led by this man, Aravandian Balakrishnan, described | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
as controlling he convinced his followers into thinking | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
For four decades he manipulated and terrorised them and had a secret | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Balakrishnan kept her as a slave for 30 years before she escaped. | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Today, Katy Morgan-Davies waived her right to anonymity | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
to speak out about the years of psychological and physical | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
bullying she endured at her father's hands. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
I was a caged bird with clipped wings. When I came out I was not | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
able to make my way around the tall. I was completely disorientated and I | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
had no idea how to do the simplest things. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Aravindan Balakrishnan left Singapore in 1963 to study | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
at the London School of Economics, where he became involved | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
It was in 1970 when he first set up his own Maoist commune called | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
the Workers Institute in Brixton, where he carried out sex | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
In 1975 Sian Davies joined the commune. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
In 1983 she gave birth to Balakrishnan's daughter. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
13 years later, on Christmas Eve 1996, Sian Davies fell | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
from the second floor window of the house in Brixton. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
She wass left paralysed and died of her injuries | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Over a decade passes and Sian's daughter runs away from the commune | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
for the first time, but is returned to her father by police. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
In October 2013, the daughter, now 30 years of age, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
is severely ill with diabetes and manages to escape | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
from the commune with the help of a charity. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Police later arrest and charge Balakrishnan. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
In December last year, the 75-year-old is found guilty | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
of a string of sex assaults, child cruelty and false imprisonment. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
I am just pleased it's all over. I want to get on now and get to know | :08:44. | :09:00. | |
Katie a lot better, to take her to Wales and to see where her mother | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
and her grandmother lived. Perhaps you might find what it's like to be | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
locked behind a door as she was. The whole sequence of events has | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
shocked Sian's hometown of Tregaron. She was laid to rest | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
here alongside her parents. Sian Davies' father was a doctor he | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
ensure Darren. People believe his death could have been one of the | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
factors that triggered the total personality change in Sian Davies | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
and led to adjoining this cult. One friend who met up with her year | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
after joining the commune said she seemed like a totally different | :09:40. | :09:40. | |
woman. She said Sian was from a privileged | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
background but always generous. She would come up to the farm, I | :09:43. | :09:54. | |
remember her coming up with all this make-up and stiletto shoes and | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
things I had never seen because my mother was from a farming | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
background, but she would enjoy being with us. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
While Sian Davies was unable to escape Balakrishnan, | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
their daughter Katy now wants to rebuild her life and is planning | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
on visiting her mother's grave and hometown of Tregaron. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
It was the largest "crash for cash" insurance fraud case | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
Today it ended with five people being sentenced to nearly four years | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
in prison for their part in the scam, | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
The two men and three women from Newport, Cardiff | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
and Caerphilly County Borough fraudulently claimed | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
From Newport Crown Court, here's Jordan Davies. | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
The more police delved into this giant conspiracy, | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
the wider the web of fraudsters became. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
And today the last five were brought to justice. | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
One of them, Stephen Pegram, already serving a five year | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
In total, 81 people from Caerphilly County Borough, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Cardiff and Newport were convicted for defrauding insurance companies | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
out of three quarters of a million pounds. | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
At the start we had no idea this fraud was going on. We were looking | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
for stolen vehicles and it turned into one of the biggest insurers | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
frauds the UK police have ever investigated. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
The police descended on it, the conspiracy's HQ, | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
a small lock-up garage in Pengam near Blackwood. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Only then did they discover the extent of the fraud. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Cars were being deliberately damaged, like this one, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
And then the owners were coached into what to say to insurers | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Gwent Police are calling on insurers to do more to make sure | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
the damage on one car matches the damage on another. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
This draws to an end the largest fraud trial ever seen in the UK. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Such was the scale of the investigation that Gwent Police | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
has built up a body of expertise in this area. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
It now hopes others will be deterred from committing similar crimes. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
Cheryl James from Llangollen was one of four soldiers found dead | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey between 1995 and 2002 amid claims | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
20 years on, her father has called on a second inquest into her death, | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
which starts on Monday, to listen to all the allegations | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
of bullying at her base before she died. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Des James has been speaking to our reporter Paul Heaney. | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
Private Cheryl James from $1 and. At 18 years old she was found with a | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
single bullet wound to ahead. Three weeks later an inquest recorded an | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
open verdict into a death. The family only found out by accident a | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
year later the army held its own review in secret. They said it was | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
suicide and filed it away. No participation bias, no contact with | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
us. Cheryl was one of four recruits found dead at the cut barracks | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
between 1995 and 2002. The army said they were all suicides at a BBC | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
investigation revealed widespread allegations of bullying and sexual | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
assault. Serious questions about the culture there at the time. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Everything was in navigation. I agree with that. That doesn't mean | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
every person who served there is bad. But it does mean that a lot of | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
the officers either knew it was going on and ignored it or didn't | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
know it was going on. By the way, they need to account for that. | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Surrey Police investigated her death twice and found no evidence of | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
third-party involvement. But in 2005 Devon and Cornwall please review the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
case. The conclusion was the original officers had adopted a | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
mindset in favour of suicide. That had affected the original | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
investigation. Typically High Court judge Nicholas Blake QC led the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
review that criticise Army training but also found Cheryl 's death was | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
probably self-inflicted. The Blake review was a review of evidence | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
collected so the very credibility of the Blake review was in question. It | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
was only in 2013 when human rights group liberty forced the release of | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
more evidence from police that the High Court throughout the original | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
verdict into her death. Bullet fragments were only retrieved from | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
the body for the first time late last year. 20 years of campaigning. | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
Next week 's new inquest is the last chance he says the allegations to be | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
heard in public. I think the MOD could actually gain a lot of brownie | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
points by taking that approach rather than sitting in the shadows | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
as they are objecting to witnesses coming forward because it might | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
raise the whole issue again. It really isn't about them any more. | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
Those allegations include claims that Cheryl was forced to have sex | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
with a senior colleague before she died. I am sure most fathers if not | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
all fathers of kids, girls of that age anyway, that is a protective | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
instinct. You think that is my job. I should not have left her there | :15:40. | :15:40. | |
alone. Surrey Police says it's supportive | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
of the new inquest The Ministry of Defence | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
says its thoughts remain with the family and it | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
will cooperate with the coroner Still to come in the programme: | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Gone but not forgotten. The Japanese sailors | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
who died off the Welsh coast Japanese victims of the First World | :15:56. | :16:10. | |
War were washed up on temperature's shores. Buried in an unmarked -- | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
unmarked grave but now there are plans to remember them. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
It's the end of the road for one of Britain's | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Production of the Landrover Defender is over after nearly 70 years. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
It may have been made in England, but the Defender can | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
trace its origins back to Anglesey, as Jamie Owen explains. | :16:28. | :16:40. | |
Few cars have left their mark on the world quite the same way. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
The Land Rover has conquered every corner of Earth from deserts | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
to jungle and most recently the urban jungle. | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
The end of production has left its fans | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
It's a great shame that the Defender is coming to the end of the line. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
People who drive it for the first time who are used to driving | :17:00. | :17:11. | |
conventional cars can't see what the attraction is. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
They think it is old and out of date but | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
it is just a purposely strong vehicle and it is so much fun | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
to drive in any weather conditions and | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
it will get you anywhere and do anything. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
It says England on its badge but it's Wales which should | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
take the honour of inspiring the inventor of the Land Rover. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Rover car's chief engineer Maurice Wilkes | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
My father and my uncle sat down on the sand somewhere | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
here and they drew in the sand like this and they were drawing | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Morris sketched the shape in the sand on this beach | :17:48. | :17:57. | |
near his home, Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
His idea was to build a rival to America's Jeep. | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
The testing of the prototype took place | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
That sketch in the sand on a Welsh beach was launched | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
The two millionth vehicle has the coastline of North Wales etched | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
into its paintwork and its seats, a lasting tribute to its ancestor | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Though fetching ?400,000 at auction, it's a far cry | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Land Rover's engineer Maurice Wilkes is buried on his beloved | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
He is remembered with a modest gravestone. | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
As the final Land Rover Defender comes to the end of its production | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
life nearly 70 years after that sketch in the sand on a beach | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
in Anglesey, perhaps its memorial should read 'Made in England, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
And Jamie Owen's series, 'Land Rover - The Great Welsh Idea', | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
begins on BBC Radio Wales tomorrow lunchtime at 1:30pm. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
Tomos is here now with all the sport. | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
The Cardiff City manager has admitted he had to sell their top | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
goal scorer, Joe Mason, to help balance the books | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
following their transfer embargo for breaching financial rules. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Russell Slade said the fee, thought to be ?3.5 million, | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
would give the club a better chance of having the transfer embargo | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
The club's allowed to make loan signings though and hopes to bring | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
in striker Kenneth Zohore from Danish club OB. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
The Chievo striker, Alberto Paloschi, is having | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
a medical at Swansea City ahead of a possible ?8 million move | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
The 26-year-old striker has scored eight goals in 21 Serie | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Meanwhile, Swansea City are at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
It's over a dispute about the transfer of their former | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
The Dutch club, Utrecht, say they're owed a 30% sell-on fee | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
from Vorm's move to Tottenham two years ago. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Swansea insist it was a free transfer and owe Utrecht nothing. | :20:17. | :20:33. | |
They're Wales' most successful amateur rugby league side | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
and tomorrow Bridgend Blue Bulls will play in the oldest rugby | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
knock-out tournament in the world for the first time. | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
In the past, they've decided against entering the Challenge Cup | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
because it coincides with the rugby union season. | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
Many of their players play for union sides too and the coaches | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
were worried they wouldn't be able to fill a team. | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
It's a rugby league side on union soil. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Bridgend Blue Bulls train here at Pyle RFC for free. | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
Some of these players also turn out for their union hosts. | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
But running a rugby league side with so many union clubs close | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
Players have been tempted away and worries over fulfilling fixtures | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
has meant Bridgend hasn't entered the Challenge Cup until now. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
There are a lot of boys who have have day work and we often have | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
shift workers so Saturdays and Sundays do become a problem. | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
Union is a massive problem in this area Wales obviously but these boys | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
are all committed to the Challenge Cup. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
The aim is to face a big club, the likes of Leeds Rhinos who won | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
the cup last year in front of a full Wembley Stadium. | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
The prestige of a cup final is a world away for this amateur | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
team of pipefitters and steelworkers. | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
But those running the game here hope a good cup run will help increase | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
interest in the sport six years after Super League rugby moved | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
We did have super League here a few years ago. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
That moved out and that was a minor setback and probably still is. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
It has been a bit of a rebuilding stage here for the last | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
It's not as strong as in other parts of England or indeed Wales | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
where there are a lot of committed players. | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
And there is no doubting their commitment. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
Their first appearance in the cup sees them rewarded with the longest | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
of away trips, a 600 mile round journey to Cumbrian side | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
They leave at 6:00am tomorrow morning and we wish them well. | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
An unmarked grave in Angle in Pembrokeshire has | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
A campaign has begun to erect a memorial to seven Japanese victims | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
who were buried there nearly 100 years ago. | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
Their bodies were washed ashore during the First World War. | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
The First World War was mainly fought on land, but there were also | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
frequent attacks at sea to resources and supplies. | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
During World War One, Japan was our ally and her merchant | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
ships were a target for German u-boats. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
On the 4th of October 1918, just one month before Armistice, | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
one such vessel was torpedoed off the Irish coast. | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
There were 320 people originally but only 29 survived. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Those that died either through hypothermia or drowning | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
or injury were washed up on the coasts of Ireland and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
15 bodies were found and buried around the county's coastline | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
There are seven in Angle but unfortunately the wooden marker | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
So I feel it would be polite to restore the memorial and have | :23:43. | :23:52. | |
In the burial records of Angle churchyard only one of the victims | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
from the time is named - Shiro Okoshi. | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
This is where seven of your countrymen lie. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
They were brought here after their bodies were found | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Mr James wants to replace this simple earn with a memorial | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
headstone, enlisting the support of the Japanese embassy | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
and a retired officer living in Swansea. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
It's really tragic to see the history of civilian casualties | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
and many Japanese and more than 40 vessels were attacked by around | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Several other war graves stand in Angle churchyard. | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
The campaign for one more is about keeping that promise made | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
each November the 11th to remember them. | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Let's take a look at the weather forecast now. | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
Less windy and colder for a while with a few wintry | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
showers, but there is more rain on the way. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
This picture was taken in Porthcawl by Steve Jones. | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
81mph at Aberdaron on the Llyn Peninsula. | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Tonight, less windy but still blustery and turning colder | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
with a warning of heavy rain for Mid and South Wales. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
Over an inch possible on high ground with poor travelling conditions. | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
So this evening, a spell of wet weather for South Wales, | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
This will clear overnight followed by showers. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Turning colder tonight with a risk of icy patches in the north. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Here's the picture for 9:00am in the morning. | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
Less windy but still breezy and colder. | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
Some sunshine but with scattered showers. | :25:56. | :26:08. | |
Falling as hail, sleet and a little snow. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Noticeably colder tomorrow with lower temperatures. | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
The westerly wind fresh to strong on the coast. | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
If you're heading into the hills and mountains tomorrow, | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Bitterly cold on Pen y Fan with a few snow showers. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Tomorrow evening, one or two showers but otherwise dry. | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
After midnight, clouding over with some rain, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
sleet and a little snow on higher ground. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
So a cold snap over the weekend but it won't last. | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Milder Atlantic air will return and spread | :26:43. | :26:43. | |
Much cloudier, some rain, drizzle and hill fog. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
The wind picking-up again and turning milder. | :26:49. | :26:49. | |
Next Monday, another deep low will pass to the north of Scotland. | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
It hasn't been given a name yet but could become Storm Henry. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Bringing more strong winds and severe gales. | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Tuesday, less windy and turning colder again. | :27:01. | :27:14. | |
The main headlines from the BBC: A British mother who took her young | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
son to Syria has been found guilty of membership | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
26-year-old Tareena Shakil is the first British woman to return | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
to the UK to be convicted of the offence. | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
I'll have another update for you at 8:00pm and then again | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Enjoy your weekend. Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:42. |
