:00:00. > :00:08.is elected leader of UKIP in the Assembly, but his appointment
:00:09. > :00:12.has provoked a furious row within the party.
:00:13. > :00:15.And Ryan Morse could have been saved had two doctors referred him
:00:16. > :00:33.for emergency treatment, a court hears.
:00:34. > :00:37.The former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton has been elected
:00:38. > :00:40.UKIP's leader in the National Assembly.
:00:41. > :00:43.Tonight his appointment has been criticised by Nigel Farage,
:00:44. > :00:46.who described Neil Hamilton's victory as unjust and an act
:00:47. > :00:52.Mr Hamilton beat Nathan Gill to the role, the man who led
:00:53. > :00:55.the party to its election of seven AMs in last week's poll.
:00:56. > :01:03.Ukip has made a great breakthrough today
:01:04. > :01:05.and I don't think that the politics of the Assembly
:01:06. > :01:10.Five days since the election and despite going from
:01:11. > :01:17.there's effectively been a coup at the top of Ukip Wales.
:01:18. > :01:20.Nathan Gill, who's run the party here for 18 months,
:01:21. > :01:27.It has caused a huge split in the party.
:01:28. > :01:30.Within hours of the result Nigel Farage attacked the decision,
:01:31. > :01:40.But Neil Hamilton insists the group will be united.
:01:41. > :01:50.We don't disagree on policy, so why should there be any problem about
:01:51. > :01:54.unity? How do you respond to Nigel's comments? Nigel has worked with
:01:55. > :01:57.Nathan in the European Parliament but this is not the European
:01:58. > :02:02.Parliament, this is the Welsh Assembly and I don't think the
:02:03. > :02:03.comments of a MEP from the south-east of England will be a
:02:04. > :02:06.factor at the forefront of our mind. Nathan Gill is still
:02:07. > :02:08.Ukip Wales leader. The role was given
:02:09. > :02:10.to him by Nigel Farage. But there are questions now over
:02:11. > :02:12.whether that's tenable. He was pretty despondent
:02:13. > :02:14.after the vote. I guess only Ukip can
:02:15. > :02:17.do this kind of thing, replace someone who has taken us
:02:18. > :02:20.to our greatest victory in domestic politics and then the Assembly
:02:21. > :02:23.Members that we got there, over half of them, four
:02:24. > :02:26.of the seven, decided to replace me
:02:27. > :02:33.as leader of the group here. He may be a new arrival
:02:34. > :02:36.in Cardiff Bay but Neil Hamilton is arguably the most
:02:37. > :02:38.recognisable Assembly Member. He was a junior minister
:02:39. > :02:42.in John Major's government but became synonymous with the cash
:02:43. > :02:46.for questions scandal in the 90s and lost his seat to Martin Bell in
:02:47. > :02:49.1997, He dropped the libel action
:02:50. > :02:54.against the Guardian newspaper and was ostracised
:02:55. > :03:00.from the Tory party. Since then he and his wife Christine
:03:01. > :03:04.have become known outside politics thanks to TV appearances with Ali G,
:03:05. > :03:07.Louis Theroux and in the jungle
:03:08. > :03:10.on I'm A Celebrity. Neil Hamilton's win has
:03:11. > :03:12.been big implications Here it is now almost impossible to
:03:13. > :03:18.see him and Nathan Gill Mr Gill may reconsider his decision
:03:19. > :03:27.to stand down as an MEP, and at a UK level this
:03:28. > :03:29.widens the divide between those who support Nigel Farage's
:03:30. > :03:32.leadership and those against him. Neil Hamilton will now see
:03:33. > :03:36.Cardiff as a power base Whatever the change of the guard
:03:37. > :03:47.at the top of Ukip, everything stays The leader of the party here Andrew
:03:48. > :03:54.RT Davies says he's making no excuses for the losses his party
:03:55. > :03:58.suffered in the assembly election. In his first interview
:03:59. > :04:01.since the Tories dropped into third place behind Labour and Plaid Cymru,
:04:02. > :04:05.Mr Davies says many Conservative AMs have called for him
:04:06. > :04:08.to remain as leader. Here's our political
:04:09. > :04:12.editor Nick Servini. He was a big presence and a big
:04:13. > :04:16.personality on the election campaign but Andrew RT Davies didn't guide
:04:17. > :04:20.his party to any victories in the marginal seats where they were up
:04:21. > :04:24.against Labour, and as a result the Welsh Conservatives lost their
:04:25. > :04:29.status as the main opposition. He faced his fellow Tory Assembly
:04:30. > :04:31.Members for the first time yesterday, who gave
:04:32. > :04:34.him their support. I think everyone in politics after
:04:35. > :04:42.an election considers what role they might or might not
:04:43. > :04:45.play going forward. I have made no excuses for what has
:04:46. > :04:48.gone on. But I also take my share of pride in
:04:49. > :04:55.what we achieved in this election of those huge swings
:04:56. > :04:57.in Labour-held seats. This is the first time the
:04:58. > :05:00.Conservatives have failed to make went up to 11 in 2003, 12 four years
:05:01. > :05:10.later and then up to 14 in 2011, before coming back
:05:11. > :05:17.down to 11 last week. Mr Davies says a series of damaging
:05:18. > :05:20.stories for the Tories in Westminster such as the Panama
:05:21. > :05:22.Papers, and decisions on welfare reform, played badly for the party
:05:23. > :05:30.in Wales. The European referendum
:05:31. > :05:32.also cast a long shadow over the Tory campaign,
:05:33. > :05:37.including at the Welsh conference, where David Cameron's speech
:05:38. > :05:41.was dominated by warnings of the danger of Brexit
:05:42. > :05:44.for the farming industry, rather than dominated by talking up
:05:45. > :05:46.Andrew RT Davies Do you regret coming out in support
:05:47. > :05:54.of Brexit when you did? I am passionate about what I believe
:05:55. > :05:59.in and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I will say honestly
:06:00. > :06:01.and openly when I believe You can't be happy with the way
:06:02. > :06:08.the Prime Minister responded in the Welsh Conservative
:06:09. > :06:11.conference? I think there would have been
:06:12. > :06:15.a better way of handling that Andrew RT Davies has
:06:16. > :06:19.always been relaxed about whether he has more time
:06:20. > :06:21.to work on his farm. That will have to wait for now
:06:22. > :06:24.because, as things stand, he is still very much in the driving
:06:25. > :06:30.seat. Two doctors could have saved
:06:31. > :06:33.the life of a 12-year-old boy had they'd examined him and sent him
:06:34. > :06:36.for emergency treatment, A senior paediatrician said
:06:37. > :06:41.Ryan Morse, from Brynithel in Blaneau Gwent, had every chance
:06:42. > :06:43.of surviving the rare disease Dr Joanne Rudling and Dr Lindsey
:06:44. > :06:53.Thomas deny manslaughter Ryan Morse had been
:06:54. > :07:02.unwell for months. His mother made two calls to a GP
:07:03. > :07:06.surgery the day before he died but he wasn't seen in person
:07:07. > :07:08.by a doctor. We now know he had Addison's
:07:09. > :07:09.disease, a problem with the adrenal gland,
:07:10. > :07:12.eventually fatal if left untreated. An expert in Addison's
:07:13. > :07:16.disease told the court this morning it was
:07:17. > :07:20.a very rare condition. Only 10-15 people out of every 1,000
:07:21. > :07:23.would be diagnosed with it Its symptoms are very similar
:07:24. > :07:28.to other illnesses but there was one hallmark, he said,
:07:29. > :07:31.the darkening of skin It was that symptom that Ryan's
:07:32. > :07:38.mother said she passed on to GPs in the days and hours before
:07:39. > :07:43.her son died. Dr Joanne Rudling saw Ryan
:07:44. > :07:58.a month before he died. His weight was not measured, despite
:07:59. > :08:02.his mother's concerns. The court also heard evidence from a
:08:03. > :08:08.GP of some 41 years experience. Ryan Morse was struggling
:08:09. > :08:11.with delirium before he died, he was so unwell,
:08:12. > :08:14.something he said he had never witnessed in those circumstances
:08:15. > :08:18.before in his career to date. He said that, along
:08:19. > :08:23.with the symptoms of weight loss, discolouration of Ryan's skin and
:08:24. > :08:24.severe dehydration, should have been red
:08:25. > :08:27.flags to his GPs. Not necessarily to diagnose him with
:08:28. > :08:30.Addison's disease, that was rare, but to recognise that his life could
:08:31. > :08:34.be at risk and they should examine him
:08:35. > :08:38.face-to-face. He said the care Ryan received was
:08:39. > :08:42.extremely seriously below what could reasonably be
:08:43. > :08:44.expected from a competent general
:08:45. > :08:48.practitioner. Dr Joanne Rudling and Dr Lindsey
:08:49. > :08:50.Thomas deny manslaughter through gross negligence. The trial
:08:51. > :08:56.continues. The footballer Ched Evans will find
:08:57. > :09:00.out the date for his new rape trial The former Wales international
:09:01. > :09:03.had his conviction quashed He was released from jail in 2014
:09:04. > :09:10.after serving half of his five year sentence for raping a 19-year-old
:09:11. > :09:13.woman at a hotel in Rhuddlan. Welsh farmers have been debating
:09:14. > :09:16.Britain's membership The EU's Agricultural Commissioner,
:09:17. > :09:20.Phil Hogan, went head to head with Ukip MEP
:09:21. > :09:24.and Farming Spokesperson Stuart They discussed whether Welsh farmers
:09:25. > :09:28.should vote to remain or leave the European Union
:09:29. > :09:34.at the referendum in six weeks time. Councillors in Denbighshire
:09:35. > :09:37.are to seek approval from the Welsh Government to suspend
:09:38. > :09:40.the right to buy council-owned The county council says right to buy
:09:41. > :09:45.has reduced its housing stock Football, and Swansea City
:09:46. > :09:53.are set to offer head coach Francesco Guidolin a new contract
:09:54. > :09:55.when the club's board His current deal expires
:09:56. > :10:00.at the end of this season. There is of course a huge summer
:10:01. > :10:02.of football ahead. Tomorrow marks one month
:10:03. > :10:06.until Wales' football side play their opening
:10:07. > :10:09.game at Euro 2016. On Wales Today tomorrow evening,
:10:10. > :10:14.join me in Brittany. This will be the base for the Wales
:10:15. > :10:19.football squad this summer, where the likes of Gareth Bale,
:10:20. > :10:24.Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey will be preparing and relaxing
:10:25. > :10:34.during their Euro 2016 campaign. Rugby and Sam Warburton will lead
:10:35. > :10:36.an experienced Wales squad for their Tests against England
:10:37. > :10:38.and New Zealand this Summer, Coach Warren Gatland hasn't chosen
:10:39. > :10:44.a direct replacement for open-side flanker Justin Tipuric, instead he's
:10:45. > :10:47.opted for Josh Turnbull, James King and Ross Moriarty
:10:48. > :10:53.as back-row cover. I think it says it all about how
:10:54. > :10:57.tough it is going to be in terms of the experience we have picked
:10:58. > :10:59.in the squad. I don't think New Zealand
:11:00. > :11:02.is probably the best place to be blooding youngsters in terms
:11:03. > :11:04.of confidence so we have gone for the most experienced
:11:05. > :11:11.team we could pick. And take a look at this -
:11:12. > :11:14.Britain's biggest ever gold nugget It's worth ?50,000 and was found
:11:15. > :11:22.by prospector Vincent Thurkettle. The 97 gram nugget is believed to be
:11:23. > :11:25.part of a ?120 million haul of gold which sank
:11:26. > :11:28.with the ship the Royal Charter A 24 carat weather forecast now,
:11:29. > :11:42.here's Sue Charles. thank you.
:11:43. > :11:47.After the warmth of the weekend we keep the humidity tomorrow but it
:11:48. > :11:51.will also be unsettled with rain at times. The rain continues on and off
:11:52. > :11:55.tonight with heavy downpours and risk of thunder. Dry spells as well
:11:56. > :12:00.overnight. Misty and muggy with temperatures holding up between 11
:12:01. > :12:05.and 14 degrees. Tomorrow the rain band that has been lingering across
:12:06. > :12:09.Wales today will just move to the north slightly tomorrow, bringing
:12:10. > :12:18.further rain at times. It is a misty and muggy start with sea fog as well
:12:19. > :12:21.and outbreaks rain across the morning. There is a north-south
:12:22. > :12:23.split across the UK and it will be warm in Scotland and northern
:12:24. > :12:29.England that further south the rain band will bring thundery spells.
:12:30. > :12:33.Temperatures holding up. Across Wales later in the day the rain will
:12:34. > :12:39.ease and drier spells develop and temperatures hold up between 15 in
:12:40. > :12:44.Pembrokeshire and 19 in Gwynedd. Tomorrow night outbreaks of rain on
:12:45. > :12:47.and off again with rain holding up the temperatures overnight. Misty
:12:48. > :12:51.and muggy and temperatures in double figures. Later in the week we see
:12:52. > :12:56.changes as we lose the weather front and the isobars straighten out and
:12:57. > :12:59.introduce northerly and colder air. On Thursday it starts with a few
:13:00. > :13:03.showers but they should ease through the day, generally turning drier and
:13:04. > :13:07.brighter with the odd shower later but warm in the sunshine, with
:13:08. > :13:12.temperatures in the low 20s. We start to see the fresher feel come
:13:13. > :13:15.Friday. It is generally brighter breezy day and the temperatures are
:13:16. > :13:16.down several degrees which introduces cooler but drier air as
:13:17. > :13:18.we head into the weekend. That's Wales Today,
:13:19. > :13:20.thank you for watching. From all of us on the programme,
:13:21. > :13:26.goodnight.
