Police and the Ministry of Defence are investigating

after a soldier died following a training march in Brecon.

26-year-old Corporal Joshua Hoole had just completed

the eight-mile route, when he collapsed yesterday morning.

His death comes three years after three soldiers died

during an SAS selection exercise in the Brecon Beacons,

26, and planning to get married next year, Corporal Joshua

Hoole had come to Brecon to train for a promotion, the position

The base at Dering Lines is a key training facility and

Corporal Hoole was on day two of his course.

He had been out training but collapsed when he got back here.

Ambulances were called just before 9:00am yesterday.

My heart and all of those in the Army

goes out to the family of the soldier who died yesterday.

But I can confirm it was not on special forces

selection, this was training for a career course

he was going to take in Brecon to become a Sergeant.

Soldiers train around Brecon Beacons all year,

But with yesterday being the hottest day of the year so far,

questions have been asked about whether the Army has learned from

the deaths of three soldiers on the Beacons in 2013 whilst

doing the SAS selection course.

If they had not learned then quite honestly that is totally

It was 17 Celsius when they started, 21 or 22 when they got back.

An investigation has been launched and a member of staff suspended

after a child was left alone in a minibus as I innocently in

Ceredigion. The charity that runs the nursery says the child was left

outside of the minibus in Aberystwyth for more than two hours

the other day afternoon. The incident has been referred to the

care and social services Inspectorate, as Matt Murray was

bought -- Matt Murray reports. This is a flagship nursery

for the charity Mudiad Meithrin but yesterday, on the hottest day

of the year, one of their staff left

a child alone on a minibus. It happened here outside Camau Bach

nursery in Aberystwyth. The member of staff responsible

for the child was immediately It is believed that the

young boy was meant to spend half a day at a local Welsh

speaking primary school, Ysgol Gymraeg Aberystwyth,

and the It was the journey between the two

places where things went wrong. I have spoken to parents of children

at this nursery who do not want to appear

on camera but told me young boy was still

inside the minibus when his parents

arrived to pick him up. He was said to be very distressed

and was taken to hospital after being inside the

vehicle for two hours. Young parents at the seafront

were shocked by the story. I can't imagine it was my own

children, it would make you feel... You leave children with

people you trust, and they are left Surely there should have been

a headcount, headcounting the children in and out

of the minibus. If it happened to one of

my children I would be appalled. To leave the kid in a carer's

responsibility when you go to work and for them to leave them on a bus

for a few hours during a heatwave, Debbie Hendy is from NSPCC Cymru

and warns of the dangers of leaving children at any age

unattended in hot weather. When left alone in a

vehicle children and young people can really quickly

become anxious and distressed. Especially in high

temperatures that we have There are some really clear

dangers of doing that. We would always advise parents

and carers never to The incident has

village on Monday. A man has been arrested on suspicion

of murder and a woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice

and assisting an offender. The new UK Business Secretary,

Greg Clark, has met workers and union members at the Tata

steelworks in Port Talbot, which faces uncertainty

over its future. Community Union said Mr Clark's

visit, during his first week in post, was welcomed -

but they'll continue to keep the pressure on the Government

to protect the steel industry. The UK farming minister,

George Eustice has said he cannot agricultural support

programmes will be as generous He had previously said Welsh farmers

would get "as much support" as currently if the UK

voted to leave. Under the EU Common Agricultural

Policy, Wales receives ?250 million a year in direct

payments to farmers. Well, what I can assure farmers is I

believe we can do things far better outside of the European Union.

Farmers have already seen a recovery in from prices, partly because we

have seen a long overdue correction in the value of sterling and it has

Bovine TB is the "single biggest problem" facing animal health

That's according to Wales' Chief Vet.

Professor Christianne Glossop has been defending the Welsh

Government's record on fighting the disease, after farming leaders

at the Royal Welsh Show renewed calls for a badger cull.

Our Environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger reports.

It's a curse lurking in our countryside.

Gareth Richard's farm near Carmarthen has been hit by TB

three times in the last five years, it has meant he's faced restrictions

on moving and selling his cattle whilst some

I regularly hear of herds that have 20, 30, 40, 50 cows going down.

One neighbour of ours farms 300 cows and lost 100 last year.

At the Royal Welsh Show farming leaders

say the Welsh Government must get a grip on the situation.

They claim Wales could struggle to export its meat

after Brexit if we do not secure prized TB-free status.

In 2008 the Welsh Government launched its TB eradication

programme, more testing and stricter restrictions.

Since then there has been a 37% fall in outbreaks of the disease

but the number of cattle being put down is increasing.

In the 12 months to April almost 9,000 were slaughtered,

Not a day has gone by when I have not been focusing on TB,

it is the single biggest "peacetime" problem

we're dealing with when it comes to animal health and welfare.

Less farms locked up and under restrictions.

But we are digging deeper into the farms that

have TB and as a result of that we are taking

They also get TB and can spread it to cattle.

A global shortage of the TB jab has meant a vaccination programme in

north Pembrokeshire has been put on hold.

Farming unions say it should be scrapped altogether, they want to

see badger culling allowed in Wales like in parts

of England and Northern Ireland.

We cannot put the onus on farmers to apply for licenses

We need a national programme of TB management here in

Wales to ensure we don't face any risk at all on our trade

The Rural Affairs Secretary said she recognised the issue is of great

concern to farmers and promised an update on future plans

Back on his farm Gareth is far from hopeful.

The enthusiasm that we seem to see from

It is too much of a political hot potato.

It is decimating the Welsh countryside.

Wales' chief vet says her team are watching the badger cull

in other parts of the UK closely to see if there are any benefits.

Changing farming practices and continued testing,

It is a complicated picture causing real distress in rural Wales.
