"Jeremy Corbyn and his allies are prepared to see

:00:13.:00:15.

That's according to potential Labour leadership challenger, Owen Smith.

:00:16.:00:21.

The Pontypridd MP is now calling for a meeting with the Labour

:00:22.:00:23.

leader, in an attempt to heal divisions.

:00:24.:00:25.

This report from our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

:00:26.:00:30.

His visits to Wales may have been fairly few and far between,

:00:31.:00:33.

one of the rare exceptions for this visit to Swansea University

:00:34.:00:35.

During May's Assembly elections, First Minister and leader

:00:36.:00:40.

of Labour in Wales Carwyn Jones kept Jeremy Corbyn at arm's length,

:00:41.:00:43.

suggesting he didn't think the UK Labour leader was much

:00:44.:00:46.

Now, with challenges to his leadership again

:00:47.:00:52.

making the headlines, senior Welsh MPs have been calling

:00:53.:00:54.

There's a fear of a snap general election and that voters

:00:55.:01:02.

in the party's heartlands trying to make ends meet are just aren't

:01:03.:01:05.

My real fear is that they won't see Jeremy as the leader that can really

:01:06.:01:12.

deliver that for them, and that they would not

:01:13.:01:14.

therefore vote Labour, and I think we could

:01:15.:01:16.

Would it be fair to say that Jeremy Corbyn could be the Labour

:01:17.:01:23.

Well, he certainly could do that, I think we have already seen a huge

:01:24.:01:28.

haemorrhaging of support for him in some of our heartland areas.

:01:29.:01:31.

There is a very different tone when you're on the door step

:01:32.:01:34.

in many of our values and our heartland Labour areas

:01:35.:01:36.

from perhaps some of the more middle-class areas of Cardiff.

:01:37.:01:39.

This morning, a challenge has been made to Jeremy Corbyn's leadership

:01:40.:01:41.

by a former member of his front bench team, but there are still

:01:42.:01:44.

questions about what the Pontypridd MP and the former frontbencher

:01:45.:01:47.

to say he'd asked Mr Corbyn if he'd be willing to see the party split,

:01:48.:01:57.

Mr Smith insisted he wasn't willing to see a split within the party.

:01:58.:02:02.

I've no idea why Owen should say such a thing.

:02:03.:02:07.

I had quite interesting, almost philosophical political

:02:08.:02:11.

discussions with Owen a week ago, and I'm slightly...

:02:12.:02:14.

I'm slightly surprised he would go out and say that.

:02:15.:02:19.

In the event of a leadership contest, some say Mr Corbyn needs

:02:20.:02:22.

the support of MPs to enter the contest, though allies

:02:23.:02:24.

insisted he should get on the ballot automatically.

:02:25.:02:27.

As the existing leader of the Labour Party, he should

:02:28.:02:29.

Now, if it takes a court to make that decision,

:02:30.:02:35.

that's where, unfortunately, you'll have to go.

:02:36.:02:37.

That could lead to a split in the party, as Len

:02:38.:02:40.

Do you think it could lead to a split in the party?

:02:41.:02:44.

Well, it would be a real shame. I personally think...

:02:45.:02:46.

I personally think that now is the time to come together.

:02:47.:02:49.

It's less than a year since Jeremy Corbyn was elected

:02:50.:02:52.

leader of the Labour Party, but when the Conservatives go

:02:53.:02:54.

about choosing their next leader, for Labour the battle ahead

:02:55.:02:58.

could well lead to the party splitting in two.

:02:59.:03:04.

Proposals that could have led to the Ministry of Defence facing

:03:05.:03:07.

prosecution following deaths during hazardous training exercises,

:03:08.:03:09.

Reservists Craig Roberts, from Penrhyn Bay, Edward Mayer

:03:10.:03:14.

and James Dunsby died as a result of neglect,

:03:15.:03:16.

while on an SAS exercise in the Brecon Beacons.

:03:17.:03:20.

The Defence Select Committee had called to scrap the current military

:03:21.:03:24.

exemption to prosecution over such tragedies.

:03:25.:03:29.

Tony Blair should be made to appear before MPs,

:03:30.:03:31.

following the conclusions of last weeks Chilcot report.

:03:32.:03:33.

That's according to Plaid Cymru politicians, who say

:03:34.:03:35.

the former Prime Minister should be held to account.

:03:36.:03:38.

They claim he misled parliament in making the case to go

:03:39.:03:40.

A multi-screen cinema and restaurant complex

:03:41.:03:46.

A planning application has been lodged with Pembrokeshire council

:03:47.:03:52.

for the development to be built on land at Slade Lane.

:03:53.:03:54.

The site was previously earmarked for a Sainsbury's superstore.

:03:55.:03:58.

Soccer now and the Chief Executive of the Football Association

:03:59.:04:01.

of Wales, Jonathan Ford, thinks Wales manager,

:04:02.:04:03.

Chris Coleman, WILL see out his contract until 20-18.

:04:04.:04:06.

He admits however that it could be difficult to keep him,

:04:07.:04:10.

if he decides he wants to move to a club side.

:04:11.:04:13.

Coleman has already said the 20-18 World Cup campaign

:04:14.:04:15.

Cricket, and Glamorgan lost the battle of the top two sides

:04:16.:04:21.

in their T20 Blast South Group match in Cardiff this afternoon.

:04:22.:04:25.

The Welsh side batted first and scored 119 for six.

:04:26.:04:31.

But Gloucestershire reached 120, with four overs

:04:32.:04:33.

and a wet start to Monday morning, but the showers should clear

:04:34.:04:38.

It'll feel cool in the wind, though, spells by afternoon.

:04:39.:04:42.

with top temperatures of around 19 celsius.

:04:43.:04:45.

We're back with updates in breakfast and that's

:04:46.:04:48.

But from everyone on the late team, goodnight, Nos da.

:04:49.:05:01.

evening with our breakfast bulletins on BBC One.

:05:02.:05:11.

The weather was certainly smiling on Andy Murray today, but that wasn't

:05:12.:05:14.

the case
