The family of Christopher Huxtable from Swansea, one of the three

:00:13.:00:16.

workers missing after a building collapsed at Didcot power station,

:00:17.:00:19.

have travelled to see the site for themselves.

:00:20.:00:21.

Previously, they've criticised the authorities for leaving them

:00:22.:00:23.

The Police and the Health and Safety Executive say recovering

:00:24.:00:28.

the missing men remains the priority.

:00:29.:00:29.

It was a day both of protest and of courage.

:00:30.:00:39.

Friends and family of three missing men made the journey to Didcot

:00:40.:00:41.

It's been three weeks since part of the decommissioned power

:00:42.:00:47.

Killing demolition worker Michael Collins and injuring five others.

:00:48.:00:52.

The families of workers Ken Cresswell, John Shaw

:00:53.:00:55.

and Christopher Huxtable believe more could and should be done.

:00:56.:01:01.

Heartbreaking, but we just feel so close to the men in there.

:01:02.:01:05.

That's why we are here today, to fight to get them out.

:01:06.:01:15.

The Chief Fire Officer has defended the handling of the rescue attempt,

:01:16.:01:18.

saying everything was done to get into the blast rubble pile.

:01:19.:01:22.

Thames Valley Police and the Health and Safety Executive said

:01:23.:01:25.

the recovery of the missing men is their priority but there has

:01:26.:01:30.

to be a safe plan in place for the next stage to go ahead.

:01:31.:01:33.

The site's owners say they understand the impact

:01:34.:01:35.

of the uncertainty on the family and say they are doing all they can

:01:36.:01:39.

to progress the search as safely and quickly as possible.

:01:40.:01:44.

There was a chance to go inside the plant today.

:01:45.:01:47.

They have worked down here all this time and this

:01:48.:01:56.

Any other country, they'd be scrambling to get these men out.

:01:57.:02:01.

The site owners say the stability of the remaining structure

:02:02.:02:11.

They've offered to meet with families when they have more

:02:12.:02:16.

A charity which has supported around a thousand veterans

:02:17.:02:23.

and their families says it's run out of money.

:02:24.:02:25.

Change Step in Colwyn Bay says 29 people could now lose their jobs.

:02:26.:02:29.

The Ministry of Defence, which awarded the charity almost

:02:30.:02:33.

?1 million three years ago, has said it could apply for further

:02:34.:02:36.

Moving on to sport now, and victory for cyclist

Geraint Thomas, winning the prestigious Paris-Nice race.

:02:44.:02:46.

He's the first Welshman to do so and says it's the biggest win

:02:47.:02:49.

The Team Sky rider finished four seconds ahead of two-time Tour de

:02:50.:02:54.

I obviously came here wanting to try to win and do as best

:02:55.:03:04.

I could, but to actually do it, it's the biggest win for sure

:03:05.:03:07.

Rugby: England have captured the Six Nations' title for the first

:03:08.:03:15.

time since 2011 after Scotland beat France earlier today.

:03:16.:03:18.

Meanwhile, England's Joe Marler has apologised to Wales prop Samson Lee

:03:19.:03:21.

for making an abusive comment during the match at Twickenham

:03:22.:03:23.

yesterday during the first half of England's 25-21 victory.

:03:24.:03:29.

Six Nations' officials are aware of the incident

:03:30.:03:31.

Coach Warren Gatland says he's disappointed with Wales' performance

:04:02.:04:06.

was charging through the English defence. The only shame, it was all

:04:07.:04:10.

too late. This kind of rugby playing Wales was nowhere to be seen in the

:04:11.:04:15.

first half. They were terrible. We just didn't turn up. Really unlike

us. I said after 25 minutes but only to make some changes. Make some

:04:21.:04:27.

replacements to get some energy into the first 40 minutes because it was

:04:28.:04:31.

very unlike us and very disappointing and really cost us the

:04:32.:04:36.

game. But France left took them in September with a spring in their

later, they leave frustrated, confused even. Despite the late

comeback, their team off second best. The first try from Anthony

:04:50.:04:54.

Watson and three Owen Farrell penalties established the 16-

:04:55.:05:03.

0/2-time lead. With looking lost with defence and usually poor. The

game ended with a flourish, but a loss nonetheless. England were to

Italy on Saturday. A dream of a never title left in tatters at
