That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00.:00:00.

to encourage junior doctors to train and work here as GPs

:00:00.:00:11.

It doesn't matter if you pay people more money.

:00:12.:00:16.

Actually, what most doctors want to work in

:00:17.:00:18.

is a properly resourced health system.

:00:19.:00:21.

Nadine Aburas was killed at a Cardiff hotel

:00:22.:00:24.

Sammy Almahri changes his plea and admits her murder.

:00:25.:00:31.

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood says she's "actively considering"

:00:32.:00:34.

whether to seek a coalition with Labour.

:00:35.:00:38.

A council leader apologises for "losing her temper"

:00:39.:00:40.

and swearing during an interview for a BBC programme.

:00:41.:00:46.

And on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the disaster,

:00:47.:00:49.

the Wales rugby team meet the school children

:00:50.:00:52.

?20,000 - that's what's on offer for junior doctors

:00:53.:01:13.

if they choose to train as GPs in parts of Wales

:01:14.:01:18.

It's being described as a unique way to deal with what some are calling

:01:19.:01:23.

But a group representing GPs says what's on offer

:01:24.:01:28.

With more here's our health correspondent Owain Clarke.

:01:29.:01:38.

In the early days, it all seems so simple. But the NHS has changed a

:01:39.:01:48.

lot since then and in parts of the country, the challenge now is not so

:01:49.:01:51.

much choosing a family doctor but finding one in the first place.

:01:52.:01:55.

Heidi Phillips is a GP in one of the poorest parts of Swansea. She also

:01:56.:01:59.

teaches at the city's medical school.

:02:00.:02:02.

We are about to have our senior partner retire and we cannot get a

:02:03.:02:06.

replacement partner to take over that role, so I recognise personally

:02:07.:02:12.

the challengers. So what's going on? To offer me a job in Ms rural Wales

:02:13.:02:17.

is absolutely fine. But my husband needs a job to and the family

:02:18.:02:21.

collections are there too so you have to think beyond just the GP as

:02:22.:02:27.

an individual. As part of this campaign to try to persuade doctors

:02:28.:02:29.

from around the world to come to Wales, the Welsh government is

:02:30.:02:34.

offering cash incentives. ?20,000 will be paid for those who choose to

:02:35.:02:39.

train to become GPs in areas of long-term shortages, providing they

:02:40.:02:42.

say for at least one year once they are fully qualified and to cover the

:02:43.:02:47.

cost of exams, anyone training to become a GP in Wales will get ?2000.

:02:48.:02:51.

As part of a new contracts, every trainee doctor, regardless of

:02:52.:02:55.

speciality, will get protected handy study. In reality, they must have

:02:56.:03:00.

access to education and learning opportunities in a protected

:03:01.:03:04.

environment so that they don't have it to be on call when they are meant

:03:05.:03:09.

to be doing an educational session. Sobhi shortage of GPs is not an

:03:10.:03:13.

issue. In fact, it is in the headlines quite a lot. Sometimes it

:03:14.:03:17.

feels like we talk about little else. But the key question today is

:03:18.:03:22.

will Beasley measures really work? GP leaders took to the airwaves this

:03:23.:03:27.

morning complaining about a missed opportunity. There was so much

:03:28.:03:31.

opportunity to use this offer to start to fix the problems we face in

:03:32.:03:35.

general practice, but all we have is a marketing campaign. Scotland,

:03:36.:03:39.

England have just announced massive increases in the funding going to

:03:40.:03:42.

general practice. We had the opportunity to do that here and so

:03:43.:03:46.

far, that is not part of the Wales offer. This afternoon, GPs had a

:03:47.:03:56.

chance to Russell 's concerns with the First Minister. It's not just

:03:57.:03:59.

about GPs, although they are important, it is about looking at

:04:00.:04:01.

nurses, pharmacists, therapists, to provide a wider compounds of service

:04:02.:04:03.

are people so people know who to go to when they have a particular

:04:04.:04:07.

condition. It was useful for me today to listen to the GPs I met

:04:08.:04:11.

here to get a better understanding of the pressures they feel they are

:04:12.:04:15.

under. But what matters most is not what they think that whether or not

:04:16.:04:18.

the second-year Swansea medical students will now be more likely to

:04:19.:04:23.

stay in Wales. It all plays a part, doesn't it? But I think the main

:04:24.:04:27.

consideration is about family, friends and where you formulae. It

:04:28.:04:31.

definitely will be attractive. There is a lot of pressure in being a GP

:04:32.:04:37.

and I also think that for me, it is quite a lonely profession. So, we

:04:38.:04:42.

have a national campaign, we have new incentives, will it work, do you

:04:43.:04:50.

think? It has to do. We have to make this work. There is no other choice.

:04:51.:04:57.

If you think of it, 90% of doctor-patient interactions happen

:04:58.:05:00.

in primary care. If we don't make primary care work, the whole NHS

:05:01.:05:05.

fails. So... There is no other choice. Says the early days, the NHS

:05:06.:05:10.

has changed dramatically, but most of the care most people get is still

:05:11.:05:15.

delivered through the GP's surgery. That's why tackling the shortages

:05:16.:05:16.

really does matter. So, ?20,000 on offer. Why do we need

:05:17.:05:25.

these incentives? Well, a shortage of GPs is an issue across the UK but

:05:26.:05:33.

the effects are felt more in rural areas. There are many reasons for

:05:34.:05:38.

it. GPs are retiring, Wales has the second oldest GP population, and is

:05:39.:05:42.

a leaving rate because of the stress and pressures. There are suggestions

:05:43.:05:47.

that younger doctors may be less tempted to go down that route and

:05:48.:05:50.

may even if they do want to go down the GP route, they might not want to

:05:51.:05:54.

be tied down to one area or one single practice and there is the

:05:55.:05:58.

age-old question, of course, of the brain drain from rural communities

:05:59.:06:05.

into the big cities, so lots of elements to try to disentangle.

:06:06.:06:08.

Groups representing GPs say they welcome these incentives as far as

:06:09.:06:11.

they go but they suspect they will be more successful at attracting GPs

:06:12.:06:16.

rather than keeping them working here and to do that you need

:06:17.:06:20.

investment in the service to ease the pressure. What will happen next?

:06:21.:06:26.

The incentives come into force next year but tomorrow, the boss of the

:06:27.:06:29.

Welsh NHS and the Chief Medical Officer will both be manning a big

:06:30.:06:34.

stall at a big medical recruitment fair in London. They will be trying

:06:35.:06:39.

to sell the Welsh NHS and sell this new deal. To what extent they will

:06:40.:06:42.

be successful we will have to wait and see, but this is certainly not

:06:43.:06:47.

an issue that will be solved overnight. Thank you very much.

:06:48.:06:50.

An American man who strangled a woman in a Cardiff hotel room

:06:51.:06:53.

44-year-old Sammy Almahri had already admitted the manslaughter

:06:54.:06:56.

of Nadine Aburas on the grounds of diminished responsibility,

:06:57.:06:58.

He claimed the voice of God had told him to do it,

:06:59.:07:04.

but today he changed his plea, as Nick Palit reports.

:07:05.:07:11.

The body of 28-year-old Medina Aburas, described in court as a

:07:12.:07:18.

swim, petite Muslim lady, was found on a bare mattress in room two or

:07:19.:07:23.

three of this Cardiff hotel. On New Year's Eve 2014. She had been

:07:24.:07:28.

strangled. Sammy Almahri, an American she had been in a

:07:29.:07:31.

relationship with, fled the scene on the night of the killing and flew to

:07:32.:07:34.

be middle east from Heathrow before eventually being tracks down in

:07:35.:07:38.

Tanzania. Yesterday, he went on trial at Cardiff Crown Court for her

:07:39.:07:43.

murder. Sammy Almahri has already indicated he would plead guilty to

:07:44.:07:47.

manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. But not

:07:48.:07:52.

guilty to murder. However, this morning, on the second day of what

:07:53.:07:56.

was to have been a four-week trial, he decided to change that plea. He

:07:57.:08:03.

admitted he had murdered in the Dean Aburas. Yesterday, the prosecution

:08:04.:08:09.

described the strangling as the deliberate killing of an offence was

:08:10.:08:14.

a woman by a jealous, angry and dangerous man. After the guilty

:08:15.:08:17.

plea, there were tears from the Dean's family in the public gallery.

:08:18.:08:22.

Relieved they now don't have to go through a month-long trial, they

:08:23.:08:25.

made a statement to police on the steps of the course. Justice has

:08:26.:08:30.

been done for Nadine. The right verdict has been returned. We would

:08:31.:08:33.

like to thank everybody who has assisted asked about this tragic

:08:34.:08:42.

period in our lives. Are you now that we are given time to grieve and

:08:43.:08:45.

remember our beautiful girl. I will get a full statement after sentence.

:08:46.:08:48.

The court heard the couple met on an online dating site and Almahri had

:08:49.:08:53.

travel to Cardiff on two or three occasions to see Nadine Aburas. But

:08:54.:08:55.

the relationship ended when he became violent and jealous. The jury

:08:56.:09:01.

heard that Almahri was suffering from a mental illness. His mental

:09:02.:09:04.

state will be discussed next month before the judge passes sentence on

:09:05.:09:10.

November three. There are mixed messages from the leader of Plaid

:09:11.:09:14.

Cymru over whether her party should see a coalition with Labour to

:09:15.:09:16.

formally share power in the assembly.

:09:17.:09:21.

Leanne Wood says Plaid had said "actively considering" the idea,

:09:22.:09:23.

But one of her Assembly Members says he's surprised

:09:24.:09:25.

by talk of a coalition, and Labour says it's happy

:09:26.:09:28.

Here's our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

:09:29.:09:38.

Rewrite nine years when the Labour and Plaid Cymru readers join

:09:39.:09:43.

together to form the One Wales coalition government.

:09:44.:10:01.

This evening, however, after some backlash from within her party and

:10:02.:10:08.

criticism from other parties, Ms Wood wrote back from her earlier

:10:09.:10:13.

comments. We are not in 2007 now. This time is very different. Brexit

:10:14.:10:17.

has changed everything. From Plaid Cymru 's point of view, we are

:10:18.:10:25.

acting in Wales best interest and we feel that the arrangement we have is

:10:26.:10:29.

the best one we can pursue for Wales at this moment in time.

:10:30.:10:32.

So why would Plaid be considering this anyway?

:10:33.:10:34.

Well, it all comes down to the numbers in this place,

:10:35.:10:36.

the Assembly's chamber in Cardiff Bay.

:10:37.:10:38.

You've got 60 AMs, so for the government to get all

:10:39.:10:40.

its policies through, it needs a majority, 30 or more.

:10:41.:10:43.

Now, at the moment, Labour only has 29 AMs, just one short

:10:44.:10:46.

of that majority, but if it did go into coalition with Plaid,

:10:47.:10:49.

it would mean 11 additional Assembly Members there.

:10:50.:10:52.

That's a grand total of 40, more than enough.

:10:53.:10:59.

But while the leader might be considering a return to that

:11:00.:11:02.

arrangement, this AM told me the group in

:11:03.:11:04.

the Assembly had voted against coalition

:11:05.:11:05.

and that the party faithful wouldn't be keen.

:11:06.:11:08.

I think I'm extremely confident in saying

:11:09.:11:10.

that the vast majority of members don't want a coalition with a very

:11:11.:11:14.

toxic Labour government and as a loyal member of the Plaid Cymru

:11:15.:11:18.

group, I think in public I need to convey the line which has been

:11:19.:11:23.

voted upon by the group, that we don't want

:11:24.:11:27.

Of course, Plaid is already working with Labour in the Assembly.

:11:28.:11:32.

The two parties have an agreement which

:11:33.:11:33.

meant Carwyn Jones could become First Minister in May and could pass

:11:34.:11:37.

It's called a compact and means Plaid

:11:38.:11:42.

also has a say in some of the government's policies.

:11:43.:11:45.

Labour says it's happy with the arrangement as it is

:11:46.:11:49.

and some observers think it serves both sides well.

:11:50.:11:52.

I don't think it would be a temptation

:11:53.:11:54.

either for Plaid or the Welsh government, to be honest with you.

:11:55.:11:57.

I think where the Welsh government stands now,

:11:58.:11:59.

they've got 30 AMs if you include Kirsty Williams

:12:00.:12:01.

plus this compact with Plaid Cymru.

:12:02.:12:04.

They're quite comfortable, and from Plaid Cymru's perspective,

:12:05.:12:07.

ad hoc deals that are reactive and have specific

:12:08.:12:11.

So while he gets a degree of certainty on votes

:12:12.:12:16.

in the Assembly and she gets some say over government policies,

:12:17.:12:19.

they may become closer, but might not quite join forces.

:12:20.:12:26.

who's on trial for historical sex offences

:12:29.:12:30.

Gordon Anglesea, who's 79, denies abusing two boys in Wrexham

:12:31.:12:36.

The leader of Ceredigion Council has apologised for her actions

:12:37.:12:42.

In a programme broadcasted earlier this week,

:12:43.:12:48.

She was being questioned about a contract with the consultants

:12:49.:12:53.

Price Waterhouse Cooper, in which they were paid close

:12:54.:12:55.

to ?2 million to find cost cutting measures.

:12:56.:12:59.

You had what you want from me, I think we should finish this. Just

:13:00.:13:16.

one more question. It has been said that PwC will receive 16% profit on

:13:17.:13:21.

every... I'm not going to comment at all.

:13:22.:13:23.

The leader of Ceredigion Council, Ellen ap Gwynn was being repeatedly

:13:24.:13:26.

asked about consultants profiting from a council contract

:13:27.:13:28.

It was a line of questioning which riled the leader so much

:13:29.:13:31.

she demanded the reporter and crew to leave.

:13:32.:13:39.

Do you think it's right that a company... Will you please get out

:13:40.:13:45.

of my room? The bloody lot of you, I've had a lot of you.

:13:46.:13:47.

many fellow councillors believed it was unprofessional.

:13:48.:13:53.

In a boisterous and rowdy meeting, the reader was accused of bringing

:13:54.:13:59.

the council into disrepute and breaking the council's code of

:14:00.:14:02.

conduct. The Leader of the Opposition demanded she apologise

:14:03.:14:06.

for the way she acted on the TV programme. She didn't handle it very

:14:07.:14:10.

well. She lost her temper because she was being asked questions she

:14:11.:14:14.

did not want answered. Questions I believe that the residents need an

:14:15.:14:19.

answer to, and in no uncertain she asked the TV crew to leave her

:14:20.:14:26.

office. The documentary Who's Spending Britain's Buildings

:14:27.:14:33.

examined outsourcing. However, But Councillor Ap Gwynn says

:14:34.:14:36.

However, the ?2 million spent with Price Waterhouse Cooper

:14:37.:14:39.

could result While she believes this

:14:40.:14:40.

was money well spent, she admits to letting herself down

:14:41.:14:44.

in the TV interview. I had been put under considerable

:14:45.:14:52.

pressure by the interviewing team. They asked me the same question

:14:53.:14:56.

three times and I had given them an answer that I was constrained by

:14:57.:15:01.

legalities of the contract in what I could answer to them on that point.

:15:02.:15:08.

They insisted on pushing that point and I answered it clearly and

:15:09.:15:12.

concisely three times and I'm afraid I did lose my temper on the fourth

:15:13.:15:18.

time. The councillor has also said she will try her best to make sure

:15:19.:15:19.

this doesn't happen again. we speak to one of

:15:20.:15:21.

the survivors of Aberfan. And it's a world-renowned show

:15:22.:15:31.

of contemporary art - the Artes Mundi exhibition

:15:32.:15:33.

opens tonight There's been a fresh development

:15:34.:15:34.

in the saga that is the The merchant bankers,

:15:35.:15:45.

Kleinwort Benson, based in the City of London

:15:46.:15:51.

has joined the project. It says it will be bringing

:15:52.:15:59.

in the final piece of private funding, which is says

:16:00.:16:02.

is around ?100 million. It will also act as financial

:16:03.:16:04.

advisors to the developers Our economics correspondent

:16:05.:16:06.

Sarah Dickins is here. So what will Kleinwort Benson be

:16:07.:16:13.

doing? They will not be writing one cheque for ?100 million themselves.

:16:14.:16:16.

They're not paying the money themselves. They are bringing in

:16:17.:16:20.

investment from private individuals. They say both UK and international

:16:21.:16:24.

investors are particularly interested in recreational

:16:25.:16:27.

infrastructure, which is what's good of Wales is, and they are confident

:16:28.:16:31.

they can bring to the table 100000000 pounds of private money

:16:32.:16:37.

and they will also be advising on the investment to go with and not to

:16:38.:16:43.

go with. Reminders where we are on the project? The proposal was

:16:44.:16:46.

rejected by the Welsh government for the second time in July. They were

:16:47.:16:53.

unhappy with the Welsh government underwriting 75% of the project as

:16:54.:16:58.

ingested something more like 50-50 would be better. Since then, the

:16:59.:17:03.

have-nots has been problems with the project, but questions from a number

:17:04.:17:06.

of sources about the people behind the project. Earlier on today, I let

:17:07.:17:12.

the managing director for private merchant banking for Kleinwort

:17:13.:17:13.

Benson and I put that to him. There is a lot of suspicion about

:17:14.:17:20.

the team behind it. You are a very respectable name, Kleinwort Benson.

:17:21.:17:25.

Why are you risking your name to a team that has some question marks

:17:26.:17:30.

from some people? We have obviously conducted our own due diligence in

:17:31.:17:36.

this. We have reviewed the financial package and we have spent a lot of

:17:37.:17:38.

time with the management team. Our own view is that this is a first

:17:39.:17:43.

rate management team to be working with. As I say, very professional,

:17:44.:17:48.

very disciplined, very focused and I believe that they are a team that

:17:49.:17:56.

can deliver a project like this. The position we're in now, this is an

:17:57.:18:00.

interesting development but in terms of the proposal, there is no new

:18:01.:18:03.

formal proposal on the table. That has not been submitted yet, but both

:18:04.:18:08.

the people behind the circuit and the Welsh government both confirm

:18:09.:18:12.

that in ongoing talks, informal talks, let's say, are continuing to

:18:13.:18:17.

say if there can be some kind of agreement or not. Thank you for that

:18:18.:18:18.

update. A commemorative service will begin

:18:19.:18:19.

in half an hour to mark the 50th anniversary

:18:20.:18:22.

of the Aberfan disaster. It will remember the 116 children

:18:23.:18:24.

and 28 adults who died 50 years ago tomorrow,

:18:25.:18:28.

when a coal waste tip collapsed Our reporter Jennifer Jones

:18:29.:18:32.

is at St David's Parish Church Well, the service will

:18:33.:18:35.

begin here shortly. Over the past hour, hundreds of

:18:36.:18:57.

people have been arriving here to pay their respects to the people who

:18:58.:19:02.

died 50 years ago tomorrow around six miles south of here in the

:19:03.:19:06.

village of Aberfan. Tonight's service is one of several events

:19:07.:19:11.

taking place across the county to mark the 50th anniversary.

:19:12.:19:12.

Earlier, I spoke to Jeff Edwards, who was the last child to be pulled

:19:13.:19:16.

One of only 25 children to survive the disaster.

:19:17.:19:24.

And I began by asking him why events like this are so significant.

:19:25.:19:31.

It's important to us and it shows solidarity BB with the community.

:19:32.:19:41.

We've been inundated with messages of goodwill, condolence and

:19:42.:19:44.

sympathy. And that's very important, as far as the community is

:19:45.:19:47.

concerned, to show that support and it gets them through a very

:19:48.:19:51.

difficult time. Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day for us

:19:52.:19:56.

because at 9:15am, the service is held at the cemetery. I find that a

:19:57.:20:00.

very difficult time for myself because when I walk along those

:20:01.:20:04.

graves, I don't just see the names, I see the children themselves so I

:20:05.:20:07.

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster,

to pay their respects to the 144 people who died.

:20:29.:20:31.

Ynysowen Primary School headteacher Simone Roden thanked the players

:20:32.:20:35.

:20:36.:20:38.

Well, the service is about to get underway here now.

Tomorrow morning at 9:15am, exactly 50 years

I think it's important that where I was brought up, the people that I

was surrounded with, I'm still surrounded by them today. The things

that were instilled in me from a young age, you know. You hold onto

the good things if you've got half a brain. And I've certainly tried to

:22:03.:22:05.

do that and they've stood me in good stead. Does this kind of occasion

motivates you to achieve? I'm so proud of the achievements of those
