A man has appeared in court charged with the kidnap and rape of a woman | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
It follows an alleged incident in the early hours of Saturday. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Lying on the North Wales coast between Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
Pensarn Beach is a popular spot for walkers. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
It was in the early hours of Saturday morning when | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
the alleged attack is believed to have taken place here. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
This morning, 18-year-old Jack Carl Thomas Williams | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
appeared before magistrates charged with rape, kidnap, and | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
The alleged victim is a 62-year-old woman. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
He was remanded in custody and will appear at | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses and say | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
they want to reassure the local community that it was | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
There's been a call for the age of criminal responsibility | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Plaid Cymru Assembly Member Steffan Lewis | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
says children should not be criminalised at a young age. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
But his comments have been criticised by a Conservative MP - | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
This was a glimpse inside a secure children's home in Neath. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
This is where some of the country's | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
most complex dysfunctional young people are sent. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Some here have committed crimes like robbery, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Right now, the criminal age of responsibility | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
But Plaid Cymru's spokesperson on criminal justice | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
believes that if Wales had the power to change it, | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
There are very good practical reasons to do so. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
It's not just the fact that the United Nations | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
says there should be a minimum of 12 years of age, as, sort of, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
best practice globally, we also need to look at what happens | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
when we criminalise children and the evidence suggests | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
that if we criminalise people at a young age, | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
they tend to lead lives in adulthood of criminality. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
He says this isn't about stopping the most serious | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
offenders being detained in secure homes like this. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
It's about early intervention to ensure the majority | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
of children never enter the justice system in the first place. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
can actually help rehabilitate children. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
If you put people through the criminal justice system, then | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
you have the ability to absolutely enforce support mechanisms. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
It is not about putting people into prison. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Very, very few children under the age of 16 go into custody. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
What you are able to do is to make sure absolutely that social services | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
are involved and that there are methods to ensure that these | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
children become aware that their actions have consequences. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
At the moment, the UK Government has no plans | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
to alter the age of criminal responsibility and Wales | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Proposals to devolve youth justice were made in 2014 but | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
they weren't supported by the UK Government and didn't make it into | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
the Wales Bill on further devolution which is currently making its way | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
to pedestrianised areas of Bridgend town centre | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
to provide better access and boost trade. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The council wants to reopen Queen Street, Dunraven Place, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
which would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Enjoying a drink in the quiet, traffic-free roads of Bridgend | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
At an estimated cost of between 500 and ?900,000, | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
the council wants to implement changes so cars | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
can pass through this street and the two adjoining it. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
The aim, to boost trade and rejuvenate the area. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Since the full pedestrianisation was implemented over a decade ago, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
there's obviously been changes in shopping habits, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
and people want to come into town centres to go to smaller shop units | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
and we feel that the access would help that. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
But on this sunny bank holiday, locals' and visitors' opinions | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
They want to open the shops up a bit. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
it was a brilliant town, 30-40 years ago, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
today, I'm sorry to say, it's a rubbish town. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Do you think it would help to open it up to traffic? | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Something has got to help it. This might be the button to push. | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
We're just visiting and I think it is lovely that you can just walk | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
around the city centre without too much traffic around. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Since the streets closed to traffic, the number of reported collisions | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
have fallen from 13 between 2000 and 2004 to just | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
three in the decade between 2004 and 2014. | :04:45. | :05:00. | |
But the council says, under its plans there'd be | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
a 20 miles an hour speed limit and two pedestrian crossings. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
The consultation process will close in October | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
Victoria Thornley says - she will take her time | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
before deciding whether to try and compete in Tokyo in 2020. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Thornley, from Wrexham, won silver with her partner | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
Katherine Grainger in the double sculls in Rio. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
I think it's something I'll take more time than I did after London, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
I didn't have that much time after London but this time | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
A bit more relaxation before, if I do go back. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
I'll make a decision, I'm sure, in a few more weeks. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Football and Wrexham are up to 10th in the National League | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
after beating York 2-1 at the Racecourse. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
cloud will gradually move through the evening, | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
and overnight there could be the odd spot of rain or drizzle. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Tomorrow will see a mostly cloudy start and, perhaps, some drizzle. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
I'll have an update for you here at half past ten. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
From all of us on the programme, good evening. | :05:56. | :06:15. | |
It has been a nice day for most today. Take a | :06:16. | :06:16. |
