:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight's headlines: A ballistics expert tells the inquest

:00:10. > :00:11.into Private Cheryl James' death, it's "likely" she was holding

:00:12. > :00:17.And a deal to secure Chris Coleman's future as Wales

:00:18. > :00:19.manager is getting closer, according the boss of

:00:20. > :00:42.A ballistics expert has told an inquest that

:00:43. > :00:44.a fatal bullet wound, found on the body of Welsh soldier,

:00:45. > :00:46.Cheryl James, was "consistent" with a self-inflicted injury.

:00:47. > :00:51.The 18-year-old from Llangollen died at Deepcut Barracks

:00:52. > :01:00.From Woking Coroner's Court, Paul Heaney reports.

:01:01. > :01:03.The Army quickly concluded she had died by suicide.

:01:04. > :01:06.But new evidence about the circumstances of Cheryl James's

:01:07. > :01:09.death has led to this new inquest, now in its final week.

:01:10. > :01:13.The focus today, on scientific evidence about the rifle which lay

:01:14. > :01:17.here close to where Private James's body was found, about

:01:18. > :01:21.the bullet the rifle fired, the fatal injury it caused.

:01:22. > :01:25.David Pryor, a ballistics expert with four decades' experience.

:01:26. > :01:28.Back in 2002, he was asked to consider statements and

:01:29. > :01:34.It is his strong opinion that Private James held

:01:35. > :01:40.But he could not completely rule out third-party involvement.

:01:41. > :01:45.After Cheryl's body was exhumed and bullet fragments were recovered,

:01:46. > :01:51.she concluded it was likely the gunshot was self-inflicted,

:01:52. > :01:53.pointing to injuries on Private James's hands.

:01:54. > :01:56.She told the court the injuries were indistinguishable

:01:57. > :02:00.from her hand being on the muzzle of the gun when it was fired.

:02:01. > :02:02."In my opinion," she told the court, "the muzzle was at contact

:02:03. > :02:09.or near contact to Mr James's face at the time of discharge."

:02:10. > :02:11.After two and a half months, the coroner has now heard some

:02:12. > :02:14.of the strongest scientific evidence yet that Private James

:02:15. > :02:20.In the opinion of two experts here today, the gunshot wound that

:02:21. > :02:28.Whilst we've heard a lot about scientific probabilities

:02:29. > :02:33.and possibilities today, the coroner will also have

:02:34. > :02:35.to consider in his verdict or conclusion next month

:02:36. > :02:38.about the kind of environment Cheryl James found herself in,

:02:39. > :02:49.The UK Business Secretary, Sajid Javid, says China has vowed

:02:50. > :02:52.to reduce the amount of steel it makes.

:02:53. > :02:55.It follows an international summit in Brussels on the steel crisis,

:02:56. > :02:59.which the Economy Minister, Edwina Hart, also attended.

:03:00. > :03:02.Thousands of jobs are at risk here, after Tata decided to sell its UK

:03:03. > :03:10.Overproduction, obviously that is the number one issue to tackle.

:03:11. > :03:13.I don't think anyone expects an overnight solution to that

:03:14. > :03:16.but the discussion today, with all these countries coming

:03:17. > :03:18.together, something that we pushed for, and pushed for China's

:03:19. > :03:21.participation, will help make the difference.

:03:22. > :03:24.Meanwhile the Welsh Secretary, Alun Cairns, has visited

:03:25. > :03:30.He told them the UK and Welsh governments were making every effort

:03:31. > :03:35.to secure the future of the steel industry here.

:03:36. > :03:37.The sister of a businessman from Wrexham who's been missing

:03:38. > :03:41.in Peru for 11 days says it's "out of character" for him to be out

:03:42. > :03:45.Harry Greaves was last seen on the 7th of April,

:03:46. > :03:48.after telling friends he was going to trek up a mountain

:03:49. > :03:52.A helicopter has been looking for him, and his mother and cousin

:03:53. > :03:59.Harry as a person, everyone that knows him thinks of him as one

:04:00. > :04:03.of the most compassionate and thoughtful people they know.

:04:04. > :04:06.We have one sighting of where Harry left getting into a taxi heading

:04:07. > :04:09.for the region he said he was going for.

:04:10. > :04:12.We have no sightings of him after that.

:04:13. > :04:14.At the moment, they are searching a relatively broad area.

:04:15. > :04:18.If anyone knows how that search could be narrowed then

:04:19. > :04:26.The Welsh Conservatives have launched their Assembly Election

:04:27. > :04:28.manifesto, promising to spend more every year on the NHS.

:04:29. > :04:31.The extra funding would come from a cut in the Welsh Government's

:04:32. > :04:38.It's about re-prioritising because ultimately the Welsh

:04:39. > :04:40.Government budget is a fixed amount of money.

:04:41. > :04:42.It's about ?14.5-?15 billion a year, it is.

:04:43. > :04:47.We would reprioritise that money to protect the NHS with real terms

:04:48. > :04:50.increase over the five years so commissioners can

:04:51. > :05:02.We'd drive forward excellence in communication by getting rid

:05:03. > :05:04.-- We'd drive forward excellence in education by getting rid

:05:05. > :05:08.Well, with just a few weeks to go until polling day,

:05:09. > :05:12.It started in Pembrokeshire, where there's been big changes

:05:13. > :05:14.in how things like schools and hospitals are run.

:05:15. > :05:17.The council is set to decide on the future of secondary education

:05:18. > :05:19.and the plans for post-16 learning are controversial,

:05:20. > :05:22.Musical talent is where a sixth form can give added benefit,

:05:23. > :05:29.It's not just about exam results on a sheet and I think you have

:05:30. > :05:33.to look at the person behind it and I think that the sixth form

:05:34. > :05:36.gives you the opportunity to become a well-rounded individual amongst

:05:37. > :05:42.Ben's at Tasker Millward, one of two secondary schools

:05:43. > :05:44.in Haverfordwest that the council wants to close and replace

:05:45. > :05:48.with an 11-16 school, with A level students

:05:49. > :05:53.going to a new sixth form centre at Pembrokeshire College.

:05:54. > :05:58.These 15-year-olds in Saint Davids will also be affected.

:05:59. > :06:02.By A level, class sizes become small, unviable, so in 2017

:06:03. > :06:07.Plaid Cymru, Labour and the Conservatives have called

:06:08. > :06:13.But collaboration with the college has been welcomed here.

:06:14. > :06:17.Currently, as I said, it is a small sixth form

:06:18. > :06:19.although our outcomes are excellent, so we are providing.

:06:20. > :06:21.But perhaps we're not providing for all our children.

:06:22. > :06:24.Pembrokeshire Council are not the only ones looking at moving

:06:25. > :06:27.sixth form provision into the further education sector.

:06:28. > :06:30.In fact, here in Neath it has been standard practice for a number

:06:31. > :06:33.of years, so I have come to the college to find out how

:06:34. > :06:39.The majority of 16-year-olds here will go to college

:06:40. > :06:43.Pass rates are impressive, so too is the choice.

:06:44. > :06:46.I think one of the key benefits for learners coming to study

:06:47. > :06:51.here is the wide variety of learning opportunities that we offer.

:06:52. > :06:55.We offer over 40 different A-level subjects here.

:06:56. > :06:59.Estyn reports do show that FE, or further education,

:07:00. > :07:04.But there's also a financial motive here in the face of funding cuts

:07:05. > :07:13.There are pressures on the FE sector, financial pressures right

:07:14. > :07:17.There are small sixth forms in many areas, so many people are thinking

:07:18. > :07:21.it would be a good thing to take some kids out of sixth forms and put

:07:22. > :07:24.them in the FE sector, which helps the FE sector in financial terms.

:07:25. > :07:26.Ukip supports a move towards more vocational learning,

:07:27. > :07:31.Liberal Democrats say both - there needs to be healthy

:07:32. > :07:33.competition between schools and colleges.

:07:34. > :07:37.But the council says closure here is the answer.

:07:38. > :07:47.It is not a good position at the moment.

:07:48. > :07:49.Look at your own consultation document.

:07:50. > :07:54.Feelings in Haverfordwest are running high.

:07:55. > :07:56.With the lively public meetings and protests,

:07:57. > :08:00.they are calling for the choice of both college and school.

:08:01. > :08:06.And with details of what's in store tomorrow

:08:07. > :08:09.on the Election Tour, here's Jamie.

:08:10. > :08:14.Our tour of Wales heads from Haverfordwest to Llanelli tomorrow.

:08:15. > :08:17.We'll be heading to the Discovery Cafe on the coastal path and,

:08:18. > :08:19.among the many subjects on our menu, skills and training.

:08:20. > :08:23.If you live in the area, we would love you to join

:08:24. > :08:31.The chief executive of the Football Association of Wales

:08:32. > :08:34.says he hopes they're closer to agreeing a new deal

:08:35. > :08:39.Jonathan Ford was speaking at the launch of a new grassroots

:08:40. > :08:42.scheme, aimed at getting 30,000 young people to play the game over

:08:43. > :08:48.Chris Coleman's contract ends after the European Championships,

:08:49. > :08:55.A pep talk from the national team manager.

:08:56. > :08:58.These children are the first to benefit from a scheme to get more

:08:59. > :09:04.The plan, get pupils themselves to be the coaches at schools

:09:05. > :09:07.right across the country, and encourage their peers

:09:08. > :09:15.Young girls and young boys, they sometimes find it hard to go

:09:16. > :09:18.outside of school and play football, so to bring it into the school, it

:09:19. > :09:32.It's fun playing football and we get to play with the boys,

:09:33. > :09:36.Interest in Welsh football has never been higher.

:09:37. > :09:38.Those running the game want qualification to be

:09:39. > :09:41.the catalyst to grow the game, ensuring football

:09:42. > :09:47.But the manager's own future hasn't been settled.

:09:48. > :09:50.Chris Coleman's contract ends after the European Championships.

:09:51. > :09:53.Bosses here at the Football Association of Wales have

:09:54. > :09:57.improved its offer to him but he hasn't signed a contract yet.

:09:58. > :10:00.We very much hope to see Chris leading our team out,

:10:01. > :10:02.of course, for their World Cup campaign, which starts

:10:03. > :10:11.Coleman wasn't going to be drawn on his contract negotiations today

:10:12. > :10:13.but set out future goals for the national team.

:10:14. > :10:19.It's not about qualifying once in 20, 30, 40, 50 years, you know,

:10:20. > :10:22.which obviously that is what has happened in the past.

:10:23. > :10:24.It's how do we do back-to-back qualification?

:10:25. > :10:28.How do we qualify two out of three or three out of four?

:10:29. > :10:31.And that's really taking it forward and I think if we manage to do that

:10:32. > :10:38.Whether he'll be at the helm beyond the summer is

:10:39. > :10:42.The governing body hopes to sort out Chris Coleman's future before

:10:43. > :10:46.he and his players head for France, this summer to put an end

:10:47. > :10:54.Neath's Michael White lost ten frames to seven

:10:55. > :10:58.against England's Sam Baird in the Snooker World

:10:59. > :11:00.Earlier, former world champion Mark Williams made it

:11:10. > :11:12.Cricket, and on the second day of Glamorgans' opening Championship

:11:13. > :11:15.match of the season, Leicestershire reached 297-6

:11:16. > :11:24.That's in response to Glamorgans' first innings total of 348.

:11:25. > :11:33.Time for a look at the weather now with Sue.

:11:34. > :11:43.It looks dry and settled this week, cloudy tomorrow but with sunny

:11:44. > :11:44.spells. Overnight largely dry and cloudy.

:11:45. > :11:46.Overnight: staying largely dry and cloudy, although some outbreaks

:11:47. > :11:48.of drizzle are still possible, more likely in the

:11:49. > :11:52.It will turn chilly with some mist developing, frost-free though, lows

:11:53. > :11:55.High pressure's building over the next couple of days,

:11:56. > :11:58.which will keep things largely fine and settled tomorrow and Wednesday.

:11:59. > :12:00.Tomorrow, some early mist, that'll clear, but often cloudy

:12:01. > :12:02.but with some sunny spells and light winds.

:12:03. > :12:05.Across the UK, a similar picture, high pressure keeping things mostly

:12:06. > :12:07.dry and settled with some sunny spells especially further east,

:12:08. > :12:09.variable cloud, thicker cloud more likely in the west,

:12:10. > :12:11.and highs of 11 Celsius in North-West Scotland,

:12:12. > :12:19.In Wales tomorrow afternoon, some thicker could which could produce

:12:20. > :12:25.But it should stay dry for most, and with lighter winds feeling

:12:26. > :12:27.pleasantly warm in the sunshine, highs of 10 Celsius

:12:28. > :12:34.Tomorrow night's mostly dry and clear and under those clearer

:12:35. > :12:37.skies temperatures will drop away, so colder with some patchy frost

:12:38. > :12:45.Wednesday looks a fine day, mostly dry with sunny spells,

:12:46. > :12:48.a bit breezier, but easterly winds, so warming up for Wales,

:12:49. > :12:51.especially further west at 16 Celsius.

:12:52. > :13:03.And the outlook remains largely dry with sunny spells.

:13:04. > :13:09.Breezy at times. Relatively warm by day over the next few days. Chilly

:13:10. > :13:13.by night when we keep the risk of patchy frost. More unsettled for the

:13:14. > :13:15.end of the week. Rain on Friday and then turning colder again as we go

:13:16. > :13:17.into next weekend. We're back with updates in breakfast

:13:18. > :13:20.from six tomorrow morning.
