:01:13. > :01:14.sea of red. Thousands of fans had lined the streets to welcome them
:01:15. > :01:33.home and say thanks. Players then joined the crowd
:01:34. > :01:37.singing the now familiar song but they were now home and I couldn't
:01:38. > :01:41.believe the welcome. To represent your country is one thing but to
:01:42. > :01:47.have done it in a major tournament and got through to listen me finals
:01:48. > :01:53.is fantastic. I think we are all very proud of what we have done. To
:01:54. > :01:58.do what we have done and reached the semifinals, I never would have
:01:59. > :02:02.dreamt of that. We are trying to sync it in as much as possible and
:02:03. > :02:08.remember it forever. We want to say thank you for supporting us and
:02:09. > :02:14.being there for us on the journey, amazing scenes we will never forget.
:02:15. > :02:17.We never thought we would see this in our lifetime but it is a really
:02:18. > :02:22.special occasion. It is incredible, they couldn't be better players to
:02:23. > :02:27.deserve it, they have been outstanding, they have been a
:02:28. > :02:32.credit, and we would never the work -- we would never have imagined the
:02:33. > :02:35.welcome would be anything like this. Thousands of supporters lined the
:02:36. > :02:42.streets for hours in anticipation and they want disappointed. This has
:02:43. > :02:46.blown me away, I get so emotional, it is stupid. I decorated my house
:02:47. > :02:53.with flags and they are not coming up down till Wednesday. The team
:02:54. > :02:57.touched down on Welsh soil after their epic French adventure. As the
:02:58. > :03:05.heroes emerged they chatted the fans young and old, signed autographs and
:03:06. > :03:11.posed for photos. I got my shoe and my book signed! If you had said to
:03:12. > :03:16.me in May that we would have got to the semifinals you would have

:04:07. > :04:10.about, they have been absolutely fantastic and they deserve all of
:04:11. > :04:15.this, they deserve them and they deserve this lot. To get a welcome

:06:39. > :06:40.from Pembrokeshire who died of scurvy in 2011 has called
:06:41. > :06:43.for the Welsh Government to introduce a compulsory register

:06:54. > :06:57.was educated at home here in A report into his death
:06:58. > :07:02.said that he didn't have contact with any agencies
:07:03. > :07:06.from the age of 13 months. Dylan died of scurvy four years ago
:07:07. > :07:08.and the report claims that his physical

:07:11. > :07:16.Seabridge, had been charged with neglect but those charges
:07:17. > :07:20.were dropped in 2014. At the inquest they disagreed that
:07:21. > :07:24.Dylan died from scurvy. They were asked to engage
:07:25. > :07:27.with this review but it was their strongly held view that it
:07:28. > :07:29.shouldn't go ahead. The review said that current laws
:07:30. > :07:32.on home education are in stark contrast to the Welsh
:07:33. > :07:35.government's commitment to the UN Convention on the
:07:36. > :07:37.Rights of the Child. We would like the Welsh government
:07:38. > :07:40.to have another look at the legislation around
:07:41. > :07:45.elective home education and consider whether it is
:07:46. > :07:53.reasonable to take a view on children in those circumstances
:07:54. > :07:56.having their rights acknowledged, to have a voice, to be

:08:16. > :08:21.is an agenda that people wanted to run
:08:22. > :08:23.and it's a distraction from the real story,
:08:24. > :08:28.the unfortunately common old story
:08:29. > :08:31.of social services departments not working properly and children
:08:32. > :08:33.suffering as a result. The report acknowledges
:08:34. > :08:36.that parents have the right to educate their child at home
:08:37. > :08:39.rather than at school and that home education in itself was not a risk
:08:40. > :08:44.factor for abuse or neglect but it states that there was potential
:08:45. > :08:51.for children to become invisible. Many families who home-educate
:08:52. > :08:56.maintain that an unusual case
:08:57. > :08:58.like this shouldn't lead Having a register wouldn't have made
:08:59. > :09:01.any difference whatsoever Home education is about education,
:09:02. > :09:05.children dying is about welfare. The people who have the power to
:09:06. > :09:07.investigate these things should have investigated, it's nothing
:09:08. > :09:09.to do with education. The report made three other
:09:10. > :09:18.recommendations about safeguarding children

:09:21. > :09:21.all of the findings and look
:09:22. > :09:23.at areas for improvement. In the Somme region of France events
:09:24. > :09:26.have continued to mark the role of Welsh soldiers in the battle
:09:27. > :09:29.there, a hundred years ago. 4000 from Wales were killed
:09:30. > :09:32.or wounded in five days of fighting at Mametz Wood near
:09:33. > :09:33.the town of Albert. Today there has been a service
:09:34. > :09:36.at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery,
:09:37. > :09:37.closest to the Wood. A poppy specially
:09:38. > :09:46.made in Wales and a dragon flag placed on the grave
:09:47. > :10:11.of every Welsh soldier lying at 80 graves are here. Other headstones
:10:12. > :10:20.simply say, a soldier of the Great War known unto God. Let's put some
:10:21. > :10:24.names on these men, Joe Bannister was from Cardiff, William Godfrey
:10:25. > :10:31.also from Cardiff and Thomas ted some from Massey. All of them in the
:10:32. > :10:35.Cardiff City battalion and they all died on the same day advancing to
:10:36. > :10:41.that field. It is the nearest you can get to
:10:42. > :10:44.where they fell and I think it is important for now and for future
:10:45. > :10:49.generations that we don't forget that sacrifice. We have a couple
:10:50. > :10:53.here today of people whose relatives are buried here and it is important
:10:54. > :10:59.that they see the whole thing is done with dignity and respect. Among
:11:00. > :11:02.those taking part, cadets from the Wrexham area. We met them at their
:11:03. > :11:07.camp a short distance away on the banks of the River Somme. They had
:11:08. > :11:11.been here for several weeks working to prepare memorials across the
:11:12. > :11:19.battle ground for centenary events and they took part in ceremonies
:11:20. > :11:25.including yesterday's at the Mametz Wood. I am glad I am here and
:11:26. > :11:29.grateful I have been given this opportunity to come here and we have
:11:30. > :11:40.heard many stories about different soldiers and people have joined from
:11:41. > :11:47.12-year-old and lied about their age. As members of the Army Cadet
:11:48. > :11:52.Force it is our duty to make sure we instil in the cadets the debt of
:11:53. > :11:57.gratitude that we owe those men who gave their lives in the First World
:11:58. > :12:00.War from across the kingdom and the Commonwealth. During the centenary
:12:01. > :12:03.we have been reminded of the horror of the Battle of the Somme and the
:12:04. > :12:07.sacrifice made by those from Wales. Time for a look at the weekend
:12:08. > :12:18.weather forecast now with Behnaz. The deep area of low as bringing
:12:19. > :12:23.very unsettled weather through the weekend, looking wet and windy for

:12:35. > :12:39.western parts drier. 12 to 15 Celsius, it could be rather
:12:40. > :12:43.uncomfortable for sleeping. That low bringing the weather France
:12:44. > :12:47.tomorrow, noticed the squalls on the isobars with some south-westerly
:12:48. > :13:01.strong winds with it. Not for a nicer Saturday, heavy pulses of rain
:13:02. > :13:08.possible, low-level cloud. Temperatures from 20 to 24 Celsius,
:13:09. > :13:14.feeling muggy despite the lack of sunshine. Brisk winds coming in from
:13:15. > :13:20.a south-westerly direction. Not a nice day to be out and about with
:13:21. > :13:26.highs of 17 to 20. The rain band will gradually clear tomorrow night,
:13:27. > :13:31.a few showers behind it, quite a bit of cloud and sticky in the
:13:32. > :13:36.temperatures, rather uncomfortable for sleeping. On Sunday, some sunny

:13:51. > :13:52.next week and hopefully things are settling down by the middle of the
:13:53. > :13:54.week. I'll leave you tonight with a look
:13:55. > :13:58.back at the extraordinary scenes in Cardiff today, welcoming home
:13:59. > :14:00.the Wales football team, # So come on, Wales

:14:54. > :14:57.any fight... Putting on the red T-shirt for Wales
:14:58. > :14:58.and sharing it with all these fans today is
