Now on BBC One, time for the news where you are. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
Good afternoon. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:15 | |
The friends of a teenager from Swansea who died on a 560 mile | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
cycle trip through Spain have described him as an inspiration | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
who always put others first. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
16-year-old Michael Cura died whilst on a pilgrimage with Bishop Vaughan | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Catholic School on Thursday. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
Medical reasons are understood to be the cause of death. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:35 | |
A group of friends trying to come to terms with their loss. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Some of those who were close to Michael Cura consoled each other | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
and leave some of their favourite memories of him in a book | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
of condolences at their local church. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
They say his generosity and kindness towards others shone through. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Not only as a friend but also through his charity work | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
for disabled young people. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
He was quite possibly the most selfless person I have ever met | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
on this planet and he was one of the happiest, joyous people | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and he is | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
an absolute inspiration to every single one of us. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
You realise how many lives he had made better. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
I felt privileged just to have known him. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Let alone be so close to him and him have such an impact on my life. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
He always lit up a room whenever he came in and you could | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
always rely on him... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
One thing he was always was a real gentleman. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
He would give up his seat for anyone if they wanted it. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
The parish priest at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
in Morriston knows the family well and has been in touch | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
with Michael 's parents since the tragedy happened. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
I was speaking with Allen, Michael 's father, yesterday. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
He wanted to express his thanks to all the prayers and support | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
they have received, and special thanks to Bishop Vaughan Catholic | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
School. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
He said they were very grateful for the outpouring of support | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
which is carrying them and sustaining them at this time. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Michael was on a 560 mile cycle trip through Spain with 20 classmates | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
when he died. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
The pilgrimage has been a religious route for more than 1000 years. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Michael 's parents have since flown out to Spain and arrangements have | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
been made for the rest of the group to fly home. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Classmates of Michael's at Bishop Vaughan Catholic School | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
who were with him on the pilgrimage in Spain will be returning | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
home over the weekend. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
In a statement, the school said it was devastated by the loss, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
a pupil who will be sorely missed. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:28 | |
A coach from North Wales has overturned on a motorway | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
in the east of France, close to the Swiss border. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
The bus was carrying teenagers from a school in Cheltenham. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
13 young people are said to be injured, two seriously. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Coach owners Express Motors from Caernarfon say | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
they are currently doing all they can to contact | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
their drivers and will be helping accident investigators. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
French police say no other vehicles were involved. | 0:02:51 | 0:03:01 | |
There are calls for Ukip Wales leader Nathan Gill to | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
stand down as an MEP. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
In a letter leaked to BBC Wales, Ukip chairman Steve Crowther asks | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Mr Gill to honour a commitment to resign from the European | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Parliament, now that he is an Assembly Member for North Wales. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Mr Gill denied to comment. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:24 | |
The controlled release of insects which feed on Japanese knotweed | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
is being stepped up at secret locations across South Wales. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Thousands of the bugs will be released with the aim | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
of establishing a permanent population to stunt the super weed, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
which can cause damage to plants and buildings. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:44 | |
The president of the National Library has called | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
on the Welsh Government to give it and other national institutions | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
a more prominent role. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
Rhodri Glyn Thomas says there is a danger Wales | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
could be seen as a region rather than a country, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
if National institutions are not strengthened | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
following the Brexit vote. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:04 | |
My argument is national institutions, especially | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
the National Library, which is an unique institution, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
there is no other compatible institution anywhere else | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
within Britain, that those institutions are very important | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
in terms of creating an identity and ensuring that Wales | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
is seen as a country within a federal Britain. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:22 | |
The Welsh Government says it recognises the important role | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
the National Library and other bodies play in public life. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
Swansea City are planning to look again at expanding | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
the Liberty Stadium, following their American takeover. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
The 21,000 capacity ground, also used by the Ospreys, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
is the second smallest in the Premier League. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
The club hopes to expand the stadium to 40,000 seats. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:45 | |
A quick look at the weather now and cloud will edge eastwards | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
and there will be some drizzle overnight with fog | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
affecting hills and coasts. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
The morning will start dry and bright, but rain will spread | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
east during the afternoon. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Highs of 20 Celsius. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
That's all from us. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
We will be back tomorrow night at 6:45pm. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Join us if you can. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
Have a good evening. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
Goodbye. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 |
