English universities have got the go ahead, but the Education Secretary

says Welsh institutions will not be allowed to charge more

Also tonight: The latest on the terror arrest in Cardiff,

Police indicate it relates to a possible attack within the UK.

As a resident of this area I find it very disturbing and upsetting for

us. Especially for families. We're at Ferndale Labour club

in Rhondda, finding out who's proving a hit with members

on the eve of the leadership result. Tora's genetic condition increases

her risk of developing cancer. Her family call for a specialist

centre to be opened here. And in tonight's sport there's no

vacancy, but Ryan Giggs would be interested in managing Swansea City

if the club came calling. It's emerged tonight that Welsh

universities will not be allowed to charge more for courses

next year, unlike their Education Secretary Kirsty Williams

says the maximum they'll be able to charge will remain at ?9,000

compared to ?9,250 over the border. It comes amid concerns higher

education in Wales will become "second rate" if tuition

fees here don't go up. Our education correspondent

Bethan Lewis is at What's the detail on this? Well, the

situation at the moment is that universities in Wales and England

can charge a maximum of ?9,000 a year for full-time undergraduate

courses. Over the summer the UK Government said that universities in

England could charge more next year, ?9,250 a year. That's the first rise

since the system was established in 2012. Subsequently, that charge

could go up with inflation. The Welsh governments decide on three

levels for Welsh universities and today the Education Secretary has

written 2am 's and said that tuition fees, the fee level, would be the

same in Welsh universities next year. -- written to Assembly

members. At the same time, she said that Welsh students studying in

England would be able to extend their tuition fee loan to cover the

extra costs they may have if courses get Mike Spencer. What has been the

reaction so far? The NUS in Wales has welcomed the announcement that

they won't be an increase next year. Over some are reacting to the rise

in English university fees the Vice Chancellor of Swansea University,

Professor Richard Davies, said there was a risk that Welsh universities

could be considered second rate if they couldn't increase the levels.

We spoke to him again this afternoon and he said that he is hopeful the

Welsh government will find a way of allowing for inflation to

university's costs. But everybody in higher education is looking ahead to

the publication of a major report next week into university finance

and funding. The Diamond review publishes on Tuesday. In particular,

people will be looking at what will happen to the Jewish and the grant,

the ?5,000 a year the Welsh government contributes towards Welsh

student's fees. -- the tuition grant. This is just one piece of the

student finance jigsaw with much more to come next week.

Police have indicated that an arrest in Cardiff yesterday and the

Terrorism Act relates to a possible attack within the UK.

A 33-year-old man is still being questioned, and two

houses in the city have been searched by police.

From yesterday afternoon through the night and today, police have been

searching this house in the Riverside area of Cardiff.

Though not confirmed, it is believed to be connected with the

investigation by counterterrorism police understands the arrests made

yesterday afternoon in Cardiff is related to alleged Islamist

terrorism. The Metropolitan Police have

indicated that the arrest relates to a possible attack within the UK.

The man who lives here in this street has not been named, but local

people say he's lived there for more than 20 years. A Cardiff man.

Former councillor, Mohammed Islam, lives in this neighbourhood. He told

me how people feel about what's happened.

It's shocking and horrifying for us in the local community. Riverside

has become a centre point for the media and the police. For this kind

of incident. It is very upsetting for local residents. Local residents

of this area will find very much disturbing and very upsetting for

us. Especially for families and young children. We wake up in the

morning and CB police vans. It's nice.

Another man who has lived here all his life told me how shocked he was.

It's quite worrying for my children and staff when they go to the shop

and see people walking, see police. They get terrified for things like

that. The 33-year-old man arrested in the city yesterday is being held

at a central London police station. He's being questioned on suspicion

of the preparation, commission and instigation of terrorist acts.

Police say this arrest was preplanned. The result of an

investigation by the MPS counterterrorism command. Supported

by the Wales extremism and counterterrorism unit. Meanwhile,

another surge has been taking place in the nearby Grangetown area of the

A man who says he was sexually abused as a teenager,

has told a court he has nightmares about a birthmark on the face

Former police superintendent Gordon Anglesea denies three charges

From Mold Crown Court, here's our reporter, Roger Pinney.

This is Saint Josephs School in Wrexham.

But in the 70s and 80s a Home Office attendance and was based there.

That has been the focus of much of today's evidence.

Gordon Anglesea ran the centre, according to the prosecution its way

he abused one of his alleged victims who was a teenager time.

In the witness box that teenager, now a man in his 40s,

was pressed by the defence about the birthmark

In a statement seen by the Jury he said it was on the right side,

He also said it gave him nightmares prompting this from the defence.

That birthmark you said you would never forget,

you put it on the wrong side, and too high up.

For the prosecution, Elinor Lawes QC asked the

The prosecution then turned to Gordon Anglesea's visits

to the now closed Brynestyn children's home in Wrexham.

Retired police Inspector Ian Kelman said in 1994 he been shown

a statement in which Gordon Anglesea said he'd only visited

I knew that was wrong, Ian Kelman, said.

And what was the harm in that, he said?

Another former police officer, John Kenny, said Gordon Anglesea

was a regular visitor to Brynestyn and another home, Brynaman.

Gordon Anglesea denies all charges and the case continues.

Roger Pinney, BBC Wales Today, at Mold Crown Court.

A 15-year-old boy committed suicide, partly due to management failures

at a privately-run school and children's home in Powys.

That's the finding of an inquest jury.

The body of Jordan Kane Woonton from Nottinghamshire was found

at Pentwyn School at Clyro near Hay-on-Wye, four years ago.

The school was closed in December 2012, by Hampshire-based owners,

One of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow ministers has called on the Labour

party to "grow up" and show some "tough love", as it gathers

in Liverpool for the result of its leadership contest.

The Cardiff Central MP, Jo Stevens, also says that if Mr Corbyn

beats the challenger, Owen Smith, he'll need

to make compromises for the good of the party.

As the contest comes to an end, our political editor, Nick Servini,

has been looking at what it means for Labour.

Rehearsal time for some veteran rockers at Ferndale Labour club in

the Rhondda. Over the course of the year another better and has emerged

centrestage to lead the party, Jeremy Corbyn. Even by recent

standards this has been an extraordinary year. Civil War at

Westminster and bad feeling out in the constituencies, now culminating

in the second leadership contest. It's easy to lose sight of this, but

what on earth to party members and voters think of it all? I came here

exactly 12 months ago when people's thoughts surrounding Jeremy Corbyn

were a mixed bag. Is he going back to old Labour? Perhaps people want

old things coming back, perhaps they want more puberty in politics.

But what is the feeling now? -- puberty in politics.

Why are you a businessman? He's had a year and he's had one good speech

against Theresa May in the Commons that is the only thing he's done in

a 12 month. They should never have happened.

Corbyn got elected and B should have let it run.

You sound disillusioned. I think at the moment there's so much confusion

going on with the Labour Party they need to find they are going. They

need this election. Jeremy Corbyn made a big splash here

in the summer but critics say he will put Labour out of power for

regeneration, a claim dismissed by his supporters.

Every election we lose about 8% of the electorate by tidying or

dementia. Come on, somebody once said we aren't going to win

elections for 20 years. They are working out how people who want even

conceived yet going to vote! Local boy Owen Smith has been seen more in

Wales launching his campaign in his Pontypridd constituency. The Cardiff

Central MP Jo Stevens supported him but has also remained one of Jeremy

Corbyn's shadow ministers. We've got to show the public we can

be a government in waiting. We have that responsibility. It's

not going to be easy but politics isn't easy. We have two be grown up

about it and tough love. We need to do a better job in the next 12

months language done in the last five months.

Rock bands famously break-up in acrimonious circumstances, whether

road when not everyone agrees with the front man.

The family of a two-year-old girl who has a rare genetic condition,

which can cause tumours to grow on her skin, are calling

for a specialist centre to be opened in Wales.

Tora Betsi, from Cardiff, has NF1, which means she's more likely

There are two specialist centres in England, but none here,

Tora is a happy to go who enjoys playing with her friends. She's been

coming to this gym since her family found out that she has NF1. As a GP

home unnoticed when she was born that there was something wrong.

She was born with a cafe au lait spot which most people think is a

normal birthmark, but because I'm a GPU is one of the things I spotted

an thought I'd keep an eye on to see if she developed anymore. Although

her first year she developed quite a few more, other little markers were

things like having a bigger head and being quite short as well and not

being as strong on her feet. She's a delayed developmentally with her

motor skills. NF1 is a common genetic condition with the same

number of cases as cystic fibrosis. It affects one in every 2500 babies

born in Britain. That means one baby Uday is born with NF1. Because

severity varies Tora needs regular tests. There are two centres in

England in London and Manchester, but no centre in Wales. One

specialist in Manchester feels that in an ideal world a centre in Wales

would be beneficial, but feels there isn't enough expertise here.

There is a bit of missing out, but obviously the Welsh population is

quite small. We only have two centres for 52 or 53 million people

in England, so there's only 3.1 million people in Wales. So it's

difficult. It might be more cost-effective to actually buy into

the English service van to try and create a file, multidisciplinary

complex NF1 service in Wales. The Welsh government say it's difficult

to provide services for all brick conditions. And in some cases people

will need to travel to other centres in the UK for care and support. NF1

can run in families, but NF1, Tora's brother hasn't been diagnosed with

the condition. The family are enjoying spending time together and

there are plenty of laughs and giggles. So, here we are inside the

shipping container. It used to spend its life at sea, but now it's a home

for someone that needs affordable housing.

There is some rain and stronger winds on the way but most

A man who was accused of harassing a Catholic priest who he says

abused him when he was a teenager has been told that he

Mark Murray from St Asaph travelled to Italy, to offer

However, he's now been left with a large legal bill,

Mark Murray secretly filmed his encounter

with Father Romano Nardo last year on a visit to Verona.

The missionary told him that if he was responsible

for hurting him as a boy then he was sorry.

Mark Murray was 14 when he says he was groomed and abused

by Father Nardo at Mirfield Seminary in Yorkshire in 1970.

He is one of 11 men who were given financial settlements

by the Comboni Missionaries Order for abuse they suffered,

but the payments weren't an admission of guilt.

Romano Nardo has never been charged and according to police is too frail

But after their encounter Mark Murray was accused of trespass,

stalking and interfering in the priest's private life.

Now though a judge in Italy has ruled that Mr Murray's actions

were justified, and he won't face prosecution.

It's scandalous that it ever came to a hearing in the first place.

I can only conclude that the reason why they did it is to try

and intimidate and stop people from coming forward.

Who may have also been abused at midfield.

They want some sort of redress, or some sort of closure

or understanding of why they were abused in the first place.

In a statement Comboni Missionaries UK say the case wasn't pursued

by them but by Father Nardo's court-appointed legal guardian.

They say they re shocked by the allegations of historic abuse

at the seminary and condemn unreservedly any actions which cause

Mark Murray still has a legal bill of around ?1,500.

He hopes his experience won't deter any other victims of abuse

Investment in community-based projects is key to improving mental

health and reducing pressure on NHS services.

That's the message behind a new learning centre in Gower.

The 'Down to Earth' social enterprise scheme helps vulnerable

and disadvantaged groups with their personal development,

This sustainable building represents a new chapter in the lives of the

people who've worked hard to build it. Dave Black is one of those. A

former engineer with his own business he suffered a brain

haemorrhage three years ago which changed his life for ever.

I withdrew from society. I didn't want to be involved. I felt as if I

was a victim, as strange as it may seem. It feels like you've been

abuse. There were dark days when I felt like, is it worth carrying on

with living. I considered, at times, would I take my own life? I would

never do that sort of thing. Since being introduced to the

project by the neutral psychology department at Morriston Hospital

Dave has experienced a positive change in his mental health. The

project is about helping individuals who sustained a brain injury to

rebuild their lives. The focus is on cognitive thinking and social

interaction. It's seen as an effective recovery process alongside

clinical intervention. It's so important that we invest in

projects to improve people's psychological well-being. Enable

them to thrive into the community. It has a knock-on effect, the

individual, the family, society. And at the end of the day, to the health

service. It will save money in the long when if we rethink how we

deliver models of health care. With investment from the big lottery

fund and the Welsh government be centre will be used to teach a range

of skills to some society's most vulnerable people. The aim is to

reduce social isolation and boost self-esteem. An initiative the first

Minster believes could be rolled out more widely.

We need to look at what is best for people when they are recovering from

a traumatic time. We always have to look at new ways of doing that.

Particularly ways that are effective. I've heard from people

today have told me how effective this particular way of getting onto

the road of recovery actually was. Carefully constructive, it's hoped

the centre can make a positive change to people's lives. They

They realise the sky 's the limit to their ambition.

Time for tonight's sport now, with Claire.

There's no vacancy at the moment but the BBC understands Ryan Giggs

would be interested in managing Swansea City if the club parted

The Swans have made a poor start to the season,

putting increasing pressure on the Italian and prompting

Swansea city aren't looking for a new manager but should one be

required but Ryan Giggs be the first name on their wanted list. The

42-year-old has made no secret of his desire to manage a Premier

League club. The speculation comes against a backdrop of increasing

pressure surrounding the current manager. He has the backing from the

club's owners but needs doing things around quickly. That won't be an

easy task. Swansea face Manchester city at the Liberty Stadium tomorrow

followed by Liverpool weekend. Then they face Arsenal away.

There is no doubt that Ryan Giggs would be top of the list if Swansea

city were to dispense with the services of Francesco. The American

investors would be part of the process, they are making it clear

that there is no immediate danger to the Italian. But he knows as any

manager would, that the club near the bottom of the table and results

need to turn around quickly. Another manager feeling the pressure is

Cardiff City boss Paul Trollope. He says he's confident he can change

the fortunes of the club after receiving backing from the chairman.

They sit bottom of the championship table and face away. We obviously

know we can't keep getting beat, getting beat but we are confident.

We are sticking together. We can get the results and get the winds to get

us off the bottom. It's a horrible place to be. It's something we need

to address as quickly as possible and looking to do that tomorrow.

Both clubs would welcome a return to form tomorrow, and take the pressure

off until the next game at these. and take the pressure off

until the next game at these. So Swansea and Cardiff looking

to get back to winning ways and in League Two,

Newport County are looking to pull away from trouble,

already been used to house cafes and office spaces. But could they be a

way of tackling homelessness? A Newport charity is aiming to convert

containers into apartments. Today they unveiled a show home to

persuade councils to fund ten more. Most of their working lives they are

on the high seas exposed to the elements but the humble shipping

container shares many properties with an ideal home. Watertight and

robust with a suit in urban chic. They are being snapped up for new

uses on dry land like this Cardiff Bay cafe. With the homeless crisis

growing and house prices rising these containers are being seen as a

source of affordable homes. Here we are inside the container. It

spent its life at sea, but now it's a home for someone that needs

affordable housing. This 40 foot container in Newport is the

brainchild of Stuart Johnson and his charity Amazing Grace Bases it cost

?2000 to buy and 20,000 to convert. We've insulated fully, walls,

floors, ceiling. There is a full-size kitchen with a proper

kitchen not what I classed as a student kitchen. You've got a nice

living area, big enough for a single person or a couple. We've used a

second hand went straight off the war. Its recycling. It's good for

the environment. We can start them, we can do three, four, five high.

I used to be a heroin addict living on the streets.

Maria knows what it's like to be homeless. She's as a place like this

would be a dream come true for those who fall on hard times.

It gives homeless people more hope and belief that they could get a

chance of somewhere to live and somewhere safe. They can keep their

belongings and everything else say. Somewhere where they can close the

door at night and feel warm. The charity is hoping to persuade

councils to back this project to build more.

We want to do a pilot of ten, that means ten of them, 200,000. You

wouldn't get anywhere in this area, ten, one-bedroom self-contained

flats for that sort of price. This charity has been helping those

caught in the cycle of homelessness for 25 years. They are confident

these steel structures could be part of the solution.

Ok, it's Friday, so we all want to know what the weather has
