world record in the 100m breaststroke. That is all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight's headlines: It's more than 24 hours since two teenage boys | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
from Birmingham were swept out to sea off Barmouth beach. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Tonight their families and friends wait for news. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
The search resumed here just over an hour ago. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The moment Jazz Carlin earned a place in Welsh history. | :00:22. | :00:44. | |
The first woman from Wales to get a medal | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Four years ago I was watching on the sidelines wishing I was part of the | :00:48. | :01:01. | |
Olympics and now I have won a silver medal. I am over the moon. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
He doesn't want to give up his job in Cardiff Bay or Brussels. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Tonight UKIP's top brass are deciding if that means | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Nathan Gill is kicked out of the party. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
And nobody wants parliamentary punch ups in the Senedd but one | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
new Assembly Member says it needs a shake-up as debates | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
In the last hour, rescue teams have resumed their search for two teenage | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
boys, who've now been missing off the Gwynedd coast for more | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
The boys, aged 14 and 15, got into difficulty | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
in the water at Barmouth beach early yesterday afternoon. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
That sparked a major search operation, involving | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
a rescue helicopter, five coastguard teams | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Our reporter, Matthew Murray, has been following events | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
in Barmouth all day and has the very latest for us now. | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
The search has got under this evening in the past half an hour and | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
I have been told by the coastguard it will not involve boats. It will | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
be a search of the beach by foot and also on four by four vehicles. The | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
searches for the first -- the two teenage boys who went missing nearly | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
30 hours ago. Barmouth beach in August in the sunshine is usually | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
packed. There were only a half -- a handful of people in the water today | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
after two teenage boys went missing in the sea yesterday. They were part | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
of a large group of several hundreds from the Somali community in | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
learning here on it day trip. But he planned a fun day was short lived. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
We tried to look around to find them. We searched the toilets and | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
searched everywhere to try and find them. It is windy here today but the | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
winds yesterday were stronger. The two teenage boys were in the water | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
just by here. One person did see one teenager going to the water and he | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
did try to rescue him but there was little he could do to help. In | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Barmouth today there was shock and concern. They have not been in the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
water today. It is a concern when kids go in the water. It is quite | :03:30. | :03:42. | |
scary. It is quite upsetting. Meanwhile further down the coast in | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Ceredigion search has been taking place for a man missing after being | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
washed off a beach yesterday. He fell into the sea after being cut | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
off by high tides. With the summer holidays well under way this is the | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
busiest time for rescue crews. The RNLI in Barmouth has described this | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
as a major operation. It was quite choppy yesterday and the wind rose | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
steadily during the day. When the boys first went missing it was | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
borderline but then it got quite rough. How difficult has it been the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Eucharist in the power boats are very capable, the big boat in | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
particular can handle that without any problem. After being stopped all | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
day, now with the right tidal conditions the search has resumed. | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
The boys have just been named locally by the Yemeni community. | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
Today there has been a real says -- sense of sadness in Barmouth. A lot | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
of people here have been scared to let their children into the water | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
today because while they have been sunny spells it has also been quite | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
windy and that has made for choppy conditions in the sea. That can | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
sometimes look appealing to children with the large waves but the parents | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
I have been speaking to today have been stopping their children from | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
going into the water since his teenage boys have been missing. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
A little bit of Welsh sporting history was made last night, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
as Jazz Carlin became the first Welsh woman to win an Olympic | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
medal in the pool for more than eighty years. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
The 25-year-old picked up a silver in the 400 metres. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Our reporter, Rhodri Llewellyn, is in Rio for us and Rhodri it's | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
fair to say Jazz Carlin was thrilled with her medal. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
We all knew she could do it, and late last night | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
inside the Aquatics Centre behind me the former European champion | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
and current Commonwealth champion swam the race of her life too claim | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
an Olympic silver medal and the first podium finish | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Straight from the pool Jazz told us that she was over the moon! | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
After the heartache of missing London 2012 due to illness she now | :06:04. | :06:16. | |
has a silver Olympic medal to add to the ever expanding collection. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Obviously four years ago I was watching on the sidelines | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
wishing I was part of the Olympics and now I have got a silver medal | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
And the Welsh wonder won her medal in style. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
After setting a Welsh record in the heats she broke it again | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
in the final with a personal best and what a race to be | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
involved in with winner American Katie Ledecky setting | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Watching from the stand, fighting back the tears, | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
What I loved this morning when she touched the wall | :06:59. | :07:10. | |
It was amazing to see her happy and enjoying herself | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Thank you so much for all your support. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
For everybody who has woken up and watched my swim, thank you. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
It's the culmination of years of work. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
A world away from the sunshine of Rio and Olympic glory, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
this is what it takes to compete with the best. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Cold, dark mornings, training starts before most get up. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
13 hour days, six days a week at the National Training Centre | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
in Bath where Jazz swims up to 80 kilometres week. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
There were high hopes for Chloe Tutton from Ystrad Rhondda | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
in the hundred metres breaststroke but despite setting a new Welsh | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
record in the heats she failed to make the final. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Commonwealth medallist Georgia Davies couldn't get a place | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
in the last eight of the 100 metres backstroke either. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
So Wales have won their first Olympic medal at these Games. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
It's their first in the pool since David Davies won a bronze | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
On Thursday Jazz Carlin will be back in this pool | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
It's an event where she won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
And Rhodri, another Jazz has a chance of | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
winning a medal tonight - Pembrokeshire's Jasmine Joyce? | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Jasmine Joyce from St David's could make it two medals in two | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
She's been an important member of the GB women's rugby sevens | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
squad, featuring in every game and claiming a try against Brazil | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
They've swept everyone aside, including Fiji, and face | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
New Zealand in the semi-final at 7:00pm this evening. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
The winners will play Australia or Canada in the final. | :09:05. | :09:16. | |
The losers, that is a chance of a bronze medal as well. | :09:17. | :09:30. | |
Up to 32 jobs will be lost at a medical technology | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
'Siemens Laboratory Diagnostics' employs more than 400 people | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
at its site in Llanberis, where it makes equipment | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
used on blood analysers in hospitals and clinics. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
The company says it's cutting the workforce due to a fall | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
It says the decision is not linked to the Brexit vote. | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
The number of people identified as victims of modern slavery has | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
increased by nearly 400% in just three years, according | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
to a report commissioned by the Welsh Government. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
The issue was thrown into the spotlight after | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
David Daniel Doran was jailed in 2014 for forcing | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
a vulnerable man to work unpaid at a farm near Newport. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
With 134 cases across Wales last year, it's believed the increase | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
could be down to improvements in identifying victims. | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
A mother accused of causing the death of her five-year-old son | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
23-year-old Laura Bright's son, Joseph Smith, died | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
in a three-vehicle crash on Cardiff's Western Avenue | :10:34. | :10:34. | |
Her partner, 22-year-old Dean Collins, denies causing | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
death and serious injury by dangerous driving. | :10:43. | :10:43. | |
UKIP's leader in Wales could be expelled from the party tonight | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
for failing to give up one of his two elected seats. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Nathan Gill has been an MEP since 2014 and also won a seat | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
A deadline for him to step down from one of those two | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Here's our political reporter James Williams. | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
As political battlefields go Caerphilly has been one of Ukip's | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
more successful areas. Here as in many of the areas in Wales the party | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
has been fortifying its support which reached new heights in May as | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
it stormed to the Welsh assembly. But despite recent victories | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
including campaigning successfully for the UK to leave the EU Ukip has | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
turned its weapons on itself and one of the most bloody battles in the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
party 's civil war is taking place here in Wales. It is a battle over | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
this man's feature. Ukip Ozma gruelling committee is tonight | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
siding whether to take Ukip's leader in Wales out of the party after he | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
ignored the ultimatum for him to stand down from one of his two | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
elected roles. Nathan Gill sits in both the assembly and the European | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Parliament. It is despicable they should hang that over a man who has | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
led a successful Brexit campaign in Wales. He has done more debates than | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
any other Ukip a semi-member. He has worked so hard for the party but | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
also for the people of Wales and he will continue to do so. In the three | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
weeks before we broke the recess he was there for half a day. We are | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
having to do his work for him. His empty chair is a constant | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
embarrassment. But what do the people of Caerphilly make of it? You | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
need a sense of unity to succeed in politics. He wants to do two jobs | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
and they won't let him. If they can handle two jobs why not? I don't | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
think any party seems United right now. This aims to be confrontation | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
in Ukip, the Tories and Labour. It is just the country in general right | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
now doesn't know which direction it was to go in. Having won its first | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
seats in May something the episode could split the Ukip group in the | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
assembly. These should be they housing days. They had fantastic | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
election results and they got the result they wanted in the EU | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
referendum. But they are not enjoying their success. The party | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
will go back into the assembly in September and it's difficult to see | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
them within together. It is too early to tell whether such | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
infighting were hard -- hamper party. Ukip has shown that it | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
doesn't play by normal political rules. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Any news from that marathon UKIP meeting yet? | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
No. As it stands the party's National executive committee is | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
still meeting in London and of course that issue of expelling | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
Nathan Gill from the party is very much under discussion. But I am told | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
that there are members of that committee who are minded to put that | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
issue to a vote of the membership in Wales and ask them whether he should | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
be expelled from the party. If they decide tonight to kick him out of | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
the party I'm told Nathan Gill is vertically willing to remain as an | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
independent here in Cardiff Bay as in the European Parliament in | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Brussels and Strasbourg. Here is willing to play the long game in | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
that situation, hoping one of his allies winds and can bring him back | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
into the fold. Nobody wants to see our politicians | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
resorting to a punch up but one new AM wants a little more | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
excitement and spark And the weather's | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
never boring in Wales. We can have all four seasons | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
in one day. But what's in store | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
for the rest of this week? A quarry pool in Cilcain near Mold | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
has been dyed black with food colouring to try to deter people | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
from swimming in it. It's part of a campaign | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
by North Wales Police and the quarrying firm Hanson | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
to highlight the dangers It follows a number of incidents | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
where young people have drowned Known as the blue lagoon, | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
this pool at a Carmarthenshire quarry lured a 14-year-old boy | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
to his death four years ago. Luke Somerfield from Llandeilo had | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
been swimming with friends when he got into difficulties | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
in the deep water. His parents have set up a memorial | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
trust in his name partly to educate other young people | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
about the dangers of quarries. He was very safety conscious about | :15:53. | :16:05. | |
water. We had a boat and we used to go out on the boat and we took care | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
on the water. I would like to think Hadi had this training he would not | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
have gone in in the first place. The gates, razor wire and signs | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
at this Flintshire quarry are still not enough to keep | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
some people out. So Hanson the owners have dyed | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
the water from a previously This quarry pool is 40 metres deep | :16:23. | :16:34. | |
in places and has temperatures of less than 10 degrees. Although it | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
might look inviting to some those temperatures are cold enough to | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
kill. If muscles don't work as well as they should do very quickly you | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
can have none -- numb fingers and it's difficult to climb out. You can | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
get cramp. Very quickly people get into trouble. There is no bottom to | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
touch because it's deep. At least one person a year accidentally | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
drowns in quarry pulls in Wales. Earlier campaigns have demonstrated | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
the dangers of quarry pools and North Wales Police have | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
begun their own appeal, urging people to listen | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
to those who've had to deal Talking to the gentleman I met when | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
I came to the site he has to live with it every single day and he says | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
it's very traumatic. They do everything they can and people still | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
ignore the facts. It is dangerous and it is cordoned off for a reason. | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Whether it's freezing temperatures, submerged machinery or plants, | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
it's what you can't see which can prove fatal. | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
The black water of Cilcain quarry is meant to open people's | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Whilst some parliaments around the world are famed | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
for their punch ups, politics in Cardiff Bay tends to be | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
rather more sedate or boring even, according to one new Assembly | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Plaid Cymru's Steffan Lewis says people find the debates | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
in the Senedd too dull and the chamber looks more | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
like an open-plan office, than the seat of Wales' democracy. | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Here's our political reporter, Carl Roberts. | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
Who says politics is boring? Parliamentary punching in the | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
Ukraine and Georgia. But it's not like this everywhere. Here in | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Cardiff Bay on recently elected politician says some of the debates | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
are dealt and that people are telling him that the semi-politics | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
is boring. I think we need to add something. I am not suggesting Elin | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
Jones should wear a caper anything like that but if we had a greater | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
sense of occasion and the assembly and less predictability in some of | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
the questions, that might create a bit more interest. The highlights of | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
the political week is First Minister's Questions. Carwyn Jones | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
takes questions from the floor. It is packed in here for that session | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
but for many debates there are lot of indie seats and Steffan Lewis | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
says it has the feel of an office. They does not did -- need to be in | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
fighting all the time. It turns people off politics quite often. | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
What politicians and journalists need to do is communicate how | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
politics affects people's day-to-day lives and introduce solutions and | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
policies that will make a difference to people's lives. There was | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
sympathy for his view today. Bell, that is being kind. Boring and dull. | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
Do you think it's the fault of the assembly all most politics? Most | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
politics to most people and fortunately. Some of the debates can | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
be a bit dull. I am not going to lie. They are sometimes. My Nan | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
watches it. They could do with a bit of spicing up. Would you like it | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
more like Westminster? Is that any better. When the assembler was | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
established politicians said it would mark the beginning of | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
consensus politics in Wales. 17 years on the consensus seems to be | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
that that kind of politics is Dell. The Welsh Government has repeated | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
its opposition to fracking today, following reports the UK Government | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
is planning to offer money to people living near proposed | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
drilling sites in England. The controversial method | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
of extracting gas from deep underground has split | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
opinion for years. Here to explain all is our | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
environment correspondent, This plan by the Prime Minister | :20:27. | :20:39. | |
Theresa May emerged over the weekend. The idea is that in those | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
areas where the drilling is going ahead a portion of the taxes is | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
handed directly to households living nearby. The UK Government is keen | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
for fracking to take off in the UK. They see it as an important part of | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
our energy mix in the future. It's different in Wales. The Welsh | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Government wants to see fracking stopped completely because it was | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
more evidence about its impact on the environment. You can envisage a | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
situation the future where people in Wales look to communities in England | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
having these hand-outs for allowing fracking to go ahead and asking why | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
aren't they having that opportunity. Some Labour MPs today accused the UK | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Government of bribery today. Glyn Davies a conservative MP says it | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
will make people look at the evidence for themselves and consider | :21:35. | :21:35. | |
it more carefully. So after Jazz Carlin's silver, | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
where might Wales' next With news on that and the rest | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
of today's sport, here's Tomos. Give the Welsh Premier | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
League a chance. That's message from those running | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
the game here just days before Following the national side's | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
success at the European Championships, organisers | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
of the Welsh Premiership are hoping It was an unforgettable summer when | :22:00. | :22:15. | |
Wales exceeded all expectations at Euro 2016. They made headlines | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
around the world. A month after Chris Coleman and his team were | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
welcomed home the domestic season is about to begin. But will a | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
successful national side translate to bigger crowds in the Welsh | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Premier League. Despite improving standards on and off the field | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
interest through the turnstiles has not followed the same upward | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
trajectory. But there is real hope that is about to change. 70,000 | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
Welsh fans went to France during the summer so we're asking them to go | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
down to the local club and support their own domestic league. 12 teams | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
will fight it out on this season Aberystwyth and ballot will be | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
playing on brand-new 3G pitches. The FAW has invested heavily as part of | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
a plan to transform clubs into community hubs and get more people | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
involved in the game. TNS are still the team to beat. Champions for the | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
last five years. But the likes of Connah's Quay have strengthened and | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
expect to challenge for the title. We have to keep improving and the | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
team is getting better and better. We have to stay on top of our game | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
and keep improving. It's going to be very tough this year. All the teams | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
have strengthened that if we can get into Europe again that will be a | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
great achievement. The teams will go head-to-head to clinch this trophy | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
and it all kicks off on Friday evening. | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
To Swansea City and Angel Rangel has signed a one-year contract extension | :23:51. | :23:53. | |

the French Legion d'honneur medal but there may be a long wait. | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Fearing he would not live to see the honour | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
after he fell ill two weeks ago, local MP Jonathan Edwards | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
Today it was presented in a small ceremony at his hospital bedside. | :27:06. | :27:18. | |
It is beautiful. He thought of people getting this and haven't got | :27:19. | :27:31. | |
one. I think I should get one, don't you? We are over the moon. We are | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
very proud of him. It is an emotional thing. You cannot put it | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
into words. I am very proud of him. | :27:43. | :27:46. |
