0:00:36 > 0:00:38Police forces in Wales have been asked to review security
0:00:38 > 0:00:41for all major events here following the terror attack in Nice.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44At least 84 people were killed after a lorry was driven into
0:00:44 > 0:00:47a crowd celebrating Bastille Day.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Tonight the Senedd building has been lit up with the French Tricolour.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Earlier, a vigil was held to remember those who died.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Caroline Evans reports.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59At times like this, there are no words to adequately
0:00:59 > 0:01:04express the horror we feel.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06But together, these people in Cardiff hope to show solidarity
0:01:06 > 0:01:09with the people of Nice.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It is an appalling thing to happen.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16You cannot imagine it, can you?
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Words fail you.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It is such a dreadful thing to happen.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22This is beyond the pale.
0:01:22 > 0:01:28I just feel so sorry.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And I want the French to know that we really are terribly,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32terribly hurt for them.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I can't believe why this has happened some many time
0:01:35 > 0:01:37in France now.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38So we are with them.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We want to show them our support.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45The vigil has been organised by the Honorary Consul of France.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48The French community here in Wales has been really affected recently
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and we all suffered a lot from the Brexit.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Our people are very anxious about their future.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And a terrorist attack on top of that is making it very difficult
0:01:58 > 0:02:01emotionally for most of us.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04On behalf of the nation, leaders here have spoken
0:02:04 > 0:02:06to express their shock.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08The people of Wales stand shoulder to shoulder with them,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13not just in sympathy but, of course, in looking to ensure that
0:02:13 > 0:02:19attacks such as this don't destroy the free society that we all enjoy.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been
0:02:21 > 0:02:23directly affected in Nice and the communities
0:02:23 > 0:02:26associated with them.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We have been in touch with the Honorary Consul's Office
0:02:28 > 0:02:31in Wales and of course the Foreign Office is on-site
0:02:31 > 0:02:34supporting any British and Welsh nationals for any support
0:02:34 > 0:02:37that they may well need.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The attack happened last night as hundreds gathered
0:02:40 > 0:02:42to celebrate Bastille Day.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46At least 84 people were killed after a lorry was driven into the crowd.
0:02:46 > 0:02:52Edward Jenkins from Ferryside in West Wales now lives in Nice.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Images on the news, we see places that we go every day.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01And it is also our hometown that we love very dearly.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04So it is heartbreaking to see this type of thing happening.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I just spoke to a client, actually, who said she was actually
0:03:08 > 0:03:13on the beach and that they had to run away.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It is that fear in our gut at the moment that we're dreading
0:03:16 > 0:03:21finding out somebody we know has been killed.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25This Cardiff University student says he is lucky to be alive.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I was feeling that I was going to die, I was feeling really scared.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I didn't know what to do.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I just gave up on that moment.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So it was really, really close.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39The thing that was between me and the truck was a bench,
0:03:39 > 0:03:40it was a small bench.
0:03:40 > 0:03:48SHE CONVERSES IN FRENCH.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The news from home is hard to watch, says Claudie, who runs this
0:03:51 > 0:03:54creperie in Cardiff.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But her customers have been calling in to offer their support.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It is very sad, I am really sad.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It is terrible.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I would like so much for it not to happen again, you know?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10To think of all the children who died for what?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12For nothing.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Tonight, the flags at the Senedd and public buildings
0:04:15 > 0:04:21across Wales remain at half mast as a mark of respect.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24In response to the situation in Nice, the Pontypridd MP,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Owen Smith, postponed the official launch of his campaign
0:04:26 > 0:04:28for the Labour leadership.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32The former Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary was due
0:04:32 > 0:04:34to make a speech explaining his decision to run but said
0:04:34 > 0:04:36he wouldn't go ahead because of the "heartbreaking"
0:04:36 > 0:04:40news from France.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43A former South Wales Police detective has been jailed for 18
0:04:43 > 0:04:46years after being found guilty of raping two women.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Jeffrey Davies from Aberdare was serving in the Rhondda Valley
0:04:48 > 0:04:53when he raped his victims in 2002 and 2003.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Davies was dismissed from the force in 2013 after being convicted
0:04:56 > 0:05:01of other sexual assaults.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Here's Paul Heaney.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04A sex offender hiding in the police force.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08The victims of Jeffrey Davies only felt they could come forward over
0:05:08 > 0:05:11a decade after their ordeal.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Only after they saw he had been caught, jailed and sacked
0:05:15 > 0:05:19from his job for sexually assaulting other women.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22A South Wales Police detective who sexually assaulted two women
0:05:22 > 0:05:26while on duty has been jailed for three years.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30We now know his offending started in 2002, as a 31-year-old working
0:05:30 > 0:05:33for South Wales Police.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36One of Davies' victims thought she was getting the police car
0:05:36 > 0:05:39with him to go to the local station.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Instead, he drove up this remote mountain road and had sex
0:05:42 > 0:05:46with her against her will.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50He told her it would make her feel better.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53The judge said today Davies hadn't shown a shred of remorse
0:05:53 > 0:05:59for his victims, accusing the women of lying right until the end.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The court heard Davies' second victim was a woman he had recently
0:06:02 > 0:06:05started a relationship with.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07He had been trusted to stay at her house one night,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10trusted not to go into her bedroom.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14But he went in anyway - forcing her onto the bed and raping her.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18He mocked the idea that she might go to the police.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21He felt untouchable as a police officer.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23After the verdict today, the police complaints body praised
0:06:23 > 0:06:28South Wales Police and the victims for coming forward.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31It means women who are brave enough, and who are courageous enough
0:06:31 > 0:06:40to come forward under such circumstances will get justice.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And it really means there is no hiding place in the Police Service
0:06:43 > 0:06:46for officers who abuse public trust placed in them
0:06:46 > 0:06:50in such a disgraceful way.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Davies will serve at least nine years of his 18-year sentence before
0:06:53 > 0:06:56being released on licence, notifying police of his whereabouts
0:06:56 > 0:07:00for the rest of his life.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03A 47-year-old man from Gorseinon has been jailed for an abusive tweet
0:07:03 > 0:07:07he sent to Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13David Begley said he hoped she would be raped by immigrants
0:07:13 > 0:07:15after she appeared on a television debate about the EU referendum.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Begley was jailed for 12 weeks by Swansea magistrates
0:07:18 > 0:07:19after admitting sending a communication conveying
0:07:19 > 0:07:22an indecent, offensive message.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25An independent public inquiry into the M4 relief road around
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Newport will begin on November 1st.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It will examine the Welsh Government's controversial plans
0:07:32 > 0:07:35to build a ?1.1 million motorway to the south of the city
0:07:35 > 0:07:43and alternative proposed routes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44-- ?1.1 billion.
