:06:56. > :07:00.things up in future. These are ambitious plans that the Ministry of
:07:01. > :07:05.Justice has put in place. I am confident they will take place in
:07:06. > :07:09.due course. However, I am sorry they were not in place for the benefit of
:07:10. > :07:16.the constituents at the time of the case. So what next for Caerphilly

:07:21. > :07:26.external expert to advise them on what, if any, disciplinary action

:08:50. > :08:57.Nathan Gill will want to put this row behind him.
:08:58. > :09:04.He will. It was interesting, it is the first time he has spoken about
:09:05. > :09:07.this and the big battle he has had with the party leadership. The
:09:08. > :09:12.National Executive Committee met three times. That has never happened
:09:13. > :09:18.before in the history of the party in recent years. It was all about
:09:19. > :09:23.the imposition, particularly of two high-profile Conservative MPs. Mark
:09:24. > :09:28.Reckless and Neil Hamilton, against the wishes of local party members
:09:29. > :09:32.for the regional list. The upshot is that they will still be regional
:09:33. > :09:37.candidates but the local candidates will decide the rankings. If it is
:09:38. > :09:41.true, as many local members have told us, that these two men are
:09:42. > :09:46.deeply unpopular, it is going to be difficult for them to be elected.
:09:47. > :09:49.You could argue that people will vote for Ukip because of the
:09:50. > :09:54.identity of the party and their policies on things like immigration
:09:55. > :09:59.and the EU. They will be damaged less than other parties would as a
:10:00. > :10:03.result of this. But this is a party all about trying to build
:10:04. > :10:06.credibility, particularly in terms of Assembly politics and the
:10:07. > :10:11.question is whether they really needed a battle like this at this
:10:12. > :10:16.stage. Staying with the Assembly elections, politicians are now going
:10:17. > :10:20.to have to keep one eye on a possible Euro referendum, which
:10:21. > :10:25.could come as early as June. Momentum really building for that.
:10:26. > :10:30.There is a growing realisation that we are going to have parallel
:10:31. > :10:34.campaigns, certainly for a period of time. Party leaders in Wales have
:10:35. > :10:38.written to the UK Government asking for that not to happen, talking
:10:39. > :10:43.about showing respect for the Assembly campaign. The real fear is
:10:44. > :10:49.that Assembly politics just gets steam roller had by a once in a
:10:50. > :10:52.generation juggernaut of an EU referendum campaign. The
:10:53. > :10:56.Conservatives and Labour are saying different things in Cardiff Bay and
:10:57. > :11:01.at Westminster. I guess this will come down to a calculation about how
:11:02. > :11:07.intelligent the voter is and whether they can handle two campaigns at the
:11:08. > :11:11.same time. Thank you. A former life card from North Wales
:11:12. > :11:17.has admitted travelling to America to read a tenure ruled girl he met
:11:18. > :11:22.online. Gareth Hall from Caernarfon has just appeared in court in Oregon
:11:23. > :11:27.to plead guilty to seven related charges. He was suspended from his

:11:45. > :11:48.flying to Oregon to meet his victim. He made contact with the
:11:49. > :11:53.ten-year-old girl online. The girl's family learned of the rape only
:11:54. > :11:59.after he flew back to the UK. He was already known to the police here,
:12:00. > :12:05.having been questioned on separate allegations in 2015. He was
:12:06. > :12:10.suspended from his job once the Council learned of his arrest. It
:12:11. > :12:14.says it followed all relevant child protection procedures. It also said
:12:15. > :12:18.it has not received any complaints of children -- the parents of
:12:19. > :12:25.children who attended the leisure centre while he was there. There is
:12:26. > :12:30.sympathy for his family. I think he has an illness and I feel very sorry
:12:31. > :12:35.for him. I hope people in the area don't turn their backs on the
:12:36. > :12:39.family. This evening, Gareth Hall pleaded guilty to seven charges
:12:40. > :12:44.relating to rape and online grooming. He will face a minimum of
:12:45. > :12:52.25 years in jail. New information on the man from Wales accused of raping
:12:53. > :12:57.a young girl. The case was followed by TV stations in Oregon. Gareth
:12:58. > :13:02.Hall has been held in county jail since his arrest, a world away from
:13:03. > :13:05.where he grew up. Welsh language interpreter 's have reportedly been

:13:11. > :13:13.countryside and wildlife and today a new law was passed to help manage
:13:14. > :13:16.and protect our natural environment. New targets for tackling climate
:13:17. > :13:18.change were also agreed by Assembly Members, along
:13:19. > :13:20.with stricter rules for recycling. From our mountains and forests
:13:21. > :13:26.to our coastline and seas, the natural environment in Wales
:13:27. > :13:31.contributes to our health and well-being but also brings
:13:32. > :13:34.jobs and investment. At times it can throw up some
:13:35. > :13:38.pretty big challenges to. The new Environment Bill
:13:39. > :13:41.is an attempt to make sure the landscapes we love are protected
:13:42. > :13:45.in the face of increasing pressures. It means we could see more
:13:46. > :13:49.schemes like this one, a natural wetland area for bids
:13:50. > :13:53.and other wildlife created alongside flood defences in the
:13:54. > :13:56.Lower Swansea Valley. The Environment Bill
:13:57. > :13:58.is part of a suite of tools we are using in Wales to create
:13:59. > :14:01.a better environment for communities and a very effective tool kit
:14:02. > :14:04.to develop a programme for looking after our natural
:14:05. > :14:07.resources across Wales. The new law sets out more clearly
:14:08. > :14:11.the responsibilities of Natural Resources Wales,
:14:12. > :14:15.the body in charge of landscapes They will have to produce a report
:14:16. > :14:19.every five years, setting out how well we are looking
:14:20. > :14:22.after the environment as well as priorities for each
:14:23. > :14:25.part of Wales. Public bodies like your local
:14:26. > :14:28.council and the NHS will have to show how their decisions help
:14:29. > :14:32.give nature a boost. There will be new rules
:14:33. > :14:35.on waste management too, forcing schools, hospitals
:14:36. > :14:38.and businesses to recycle more. A lot needs to happen in terms
:14:39. > :14:42.of development of policy and plans and it is crucial resources get
:14:43. > :14:45.behind those to make a real Real things have got to happen
:14:46. > :14:53.to get us into a better place but we feel there
:14:54. > :14:57.are good foundations there. On climate change, the new law
:14:58. > :15:00.brings us up to speed with the rest of the UK, setting a target
:15:01. > :15:03.for Wales to reduce emissions We do feel that the long-term target
:15:04. > :15:09.for 2050 which has been set in this bill is not high enough,
:15:10. > :15:12.especially in the light 1.5 Celsius global warming,
:15:13. > :15:20.and the targets set out in this bill The Liberal Democrats also say
:15:21. > :15:26.the new targets are not ambitious enough, while Plaid Cymru warn that
:15:27. > :15:30.giving Natural Resources Wales more responsibilities at a time of budget
:15:31. > :15:33.cuts could be problematic. The Welsh government insists this
:15:34. > :15:38.new law is world leading. Assembly Members decided this
:15:39. > :15:43.afternoon to accept it unanimously. Much more to come
:15:44. > :15:48.before seven o'clock. The only school from Wales who spent

:20:04. > :20:06.for Wales in the World Cup, He has his sights on starring once
:20:07. > :20:12.again in this year's Six Nations. As a player you want to be taking
:20:13. > :20:15.part in these tournaments. We go out to Dublin first,
:20:16. > :20:20.it's a massive challenge for us, and if we can get the victory out
:20:21. > :20:24.there, we come back, a couple of games in Cardiff
:20:25. > :20:28.and hopefully turn the English over again at Twickenham

:23:23. > :23:30.lesson from space but that's exactly what happened to a group of school
:23:31. > :23:33.children from Swansea. 25 pupils from Blaenymaes Primary
:23:34. > :23:36.travelled to Liverpool to take part in a live link-up to
:23:37. > :23:40.the International Space Station for a lesson that was
:23:41. > :23:54.just out of this world. A science lesson like no other.
:23:55. > :24:06.Today's teacher? British astronaut Tim Peake. You can actually play
:24:07. > :24:08.space ping-pong. Attending the cosmic classroom and representing
:24:09. > :24:19.Wales were some lucky pupils from Swansea. It was a once in a lifetime
:24:20. > :24:24.opportunity to speak to Tim Peake. I was amazed because I never knew he
:24:25. > :24:29.could do that in space. I knew he could float about. Due to the
:24:30. > :24:33.demands on his time, pupils from the school were not able to ask him
:24:34. > :24:37.questions, but they have since treated their questions in the hope
:24:38. > :24:42.and answer will come from outer space. Back at the school, their
:24:43. > :24:46.friends watched online as Tim Peake answered questions about what life
:24:47. > :24:51.is like on board the International Space Station, even taking time to
:24:52. > :24:58.show off. I think it was cool because I have not seen a live
:24:59. > :25:03.performance in space before. Really fun to watch Tim peat in space,
:25:04. > :25:08.doing really cool experiments. In the build-up to the big day, almost

:25:20. > :25:23.space has rocketed. Some have gone even further. It has been a really
:25:24. > :25:28.exciting topic and it has been lovely to see them learning so many
:25:29. > :25:33.different things about space. The solar system, the first man on the
:25:34. > :25:38.moon, and it has really captured their imagination. A school science
:25:39. > :25:46.lesson at a whole new level and the experience was definitely cosmic.
