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

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

There is a talk of a Spanish Plume and hot spell next week.

:24:50.:24:52.

It is possible but next week is a long way off.

:25:59.:26:02.

Tomorrow evening a few showers in the north will spread

Howard Francis from Ammanford was told he'd be receiving

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.
