Tonight's headlines: The teacher from Swansea stopped from entering

:00:00.:00:07.

Tonight, there s still no explanation.

:00:08.:00:12.

She said I could not go on the plane. I said I had every documents

:00:13.:00:20.

needed. They could not give me an explanation and I asked the question

:00:21.:00:21.

more than once. A jealous man who murdered his

:00:22.:00:41.

girlfriend after getting "paranoid" about her being unfaithful

:00:42.:00:44.

is jailed for life. This is one of the most dangerous

:00:45.:00:50.

jobs in the country. Tonight, the new film

:00:51.:00:53.

to highlight safety at sea. Generations have

:00:54.:00:58.

holidayed in Porthcawl. Now the resort is being reinvented

:00:59.:01:00.

with a new multi-million And in tonight's sport: The

:01:01.:01:02.

countdown to the Champions League. A hundred days until the women s

:01:03.:01:13.

final, part of the biggest A teacher from Swansea says he's

:01:14.:01:16.

still waiting for answers after he was removed from a flight

:01:17.:01:26.

to New York while on a school trip. 25-year-old Juhel Miah who teaches

:01:27.:01:29.

at Llangatwg Community School in Neath was flying from Reykjavik

:01:30.:01:33.

in Iceland to the United States when The First Minister Carwyn Jones has

:01:34.:01:37.

written to the Foreign Secretary, asking him to pursue the matter

:01:38.:01:44.

urgently with US authorities. I can't believe this is happening.

:01:45.:02:05.

Honestly, I feel like a criminal. The thoughts of Juhel Miah recorded

:02:06.:02:08.

on its phones moment after he was excluded off a plane bound for New

:02:09.:02:14.

York without any explanation. It was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime

:02:15.:02:18.

trip to Iceland and the US but for maths teacher Juhel Miah he will

:02:19.:02:23.

remember it for the wrong reasons. Having spent a few days with pupils

:02:24.:02:29.

and staff in Reykjavik he made his way through passport control to fly

:02:30.:02:33.

to the US. As he did so he was told he had been randomly selected for a

:02:34.:02:38.

security check. They took me into this room. Two of the people were

:02:39.:02:47.

checking me. I took my jacket off and my bag offer. Then I had to take

:02:48.:02:57.

my jumper of. They checked me and made me take my shoes off. Then they

:02:58.:03:08.

rubbed the swab all of my back. As collected pupils passport it was

:03:09.:03:12.

then a US Homeland Security official approached him and asked him to

:03:13.:03:15.

leave the plane and return to the airport terminal. I have just been

:03:16.:03:20.

kicked off the plane. I'm not going to New York. My bag is already off

:03:21.:03:29.

the plane. Juhel Miah was eventually told he would not be travelling to

:03:30.:03:34.

New York. As soon as she said I'm not allowed on the plane I asked her

:03:35.:03:38.

on what grounds because I had my Visa and every document needed and

:03:39.:03:43.

they could not give me an explanation and they asked the

:03:44.:03:48.

question more than once. After he was taken off the flight Juhel Miah

:03:49.:03:52.

returned to the UK the following day alone. He has since told me he's had

:03:53.:03:56.

no answers as to why he was removed from the flight to New York. They've

:03:57.:04:01.

put the council says it is written to the US to express its dismay at

:04:02.:04:08.

the treatment of Juhel Miah. The First Minister Carwyn Jones has also

:04:09.:04:11.

written to Boris Johnson urging the Foreign Secretary to pursue the

:04:12.:04:14.

matter with the US authorities. In his letter Mr John states that it is

:04:15.:04:19.

passport holders should not be affected by the US government 's

:04:20.:04:23.

travel ban which has been suspended. Adding it appears that both the UK

:04:24.:04:26.

Government 's travel advice and the UK's agreement with the US

:04:27.:04:30.

government have been disregarded in this instance. He goes on to say I

:04:31.:04:35.

should be grateful for your urgent consideration on this matter. We

:04:36.:04:41.

have had Donald Trump's decision in the UK -- and the US and that policy

:04:42.:04:47.

has been suspended but it seems to be pretty likely this may be a

:04:48.:04:51.

consequence of that. Both the US Embassy and the White House have

:04:52.:04:53.

been asked to comment. I kept the school Juhel Miah said he would like

:04:54.:04:59.

to travel to the US one day but for now continues to wait for answers as

:05:00.:05:02.

to why on this occasion he was treated differently to everyone

:05:03.:05:03.

else. A barman has been jailed for life

:05:04.:05:07.

for murdering his wealthy Chinese girlfriend who moved to Britain

:05:08.:05:10.

to improve her education. Cardiff Crown Court heard how

:05:11.:05:12.

24-year-old Xixi Bi was killed by Jordan Matthews in a vicious

:05:13.:05:15.

and prolonged attack. Judge Nicola Davies said

:05:16.:05:17.

it was the "tragic culmination" of a course of physical and verbal

:05:18.:05:19.

abuse over a number of months. Clever, beautiful and much loved

:05:20.:05:25.

by her family back in China, Xixi Bi was studying for a Masters

:05:26.:05:31.

degree in the Welsh capital. The 24-year-old had

:05:32.:05:34.

started a relationship She showered him with gifts,

:05:35.:05:37.

bought him a car and paid the rent on their flat

:05:38.:05:43.

in the Llandaffdistrict of the city. But the relationship became abusive

:05:44.:05:46.

and the court heard he regularly beat her until one attack in August

:05:47.:05:48.

last year resulted in her murder. Cardiff Crown Court heard that

:05:49.:05:53.

Xixi Bi suffered 41 injuries including broken ribs

:05:54.:05:56.

and a broken jaw. She also had healing fractures

:05:57.:05:58.

from alleged previous attacks. The court heard how a weapon similar

:05:59.:06:01.

to a steel rod was used. Xixi Bi's death is the latest case

:06:02.:06:04.

in an ever-increasing problem here. In the year ending March 2016

:06:05.:06:10.

there were 18 murders resulting In total more than 36,000

:06:11.:06:14.

incidents were recorded here. However, just over 6000 cases

:06:15.:06:19.

resulted in a prosecution. Across the UK, the British Crime

:06:20.:06:23.

Survey revealed 1.2 million women were victims of domestic abuse

:06:24.:06:26.

and the vast majority Prime Minister Theresa May has vowed

:06:27.:06:32.

to directly oversee the creation The government is now consulting

:06:33.:06:38.

with experts about what should be included in any new domestic

:06:39.:06:44.

violence and abuse act. We don't know yet what this act

:06:45.:06:47.

will be and we don't know yet whether it will cover

:06:48.:06:50.

Wales within that. From our perspective

:06:51.:06:52.

what we would like to see is a lot of work being done around preventing

:06:53.:06:55.

domestic abuse and sexual violence to begin with so we work in schools

:06:56.:06:57.

and in education with young people and children, but also work

:06:58.:07:02.

within the community to enable women to access support

:07:03.:07:06.

where and when they need it. In the case of Xixi Bi

:07:07.:07:11.

there was evidence of previous attacks and hospital visits

:07:12.:07:14.

for months before she died. Matthews had pleaded guilty

:07:15.:07:16.

to manslaughter but the jury decided Sentencing Matthews to life

:07:17.:07:18.

the judge told him, over a period of months you regularly

:07:19.:07:25.

subjected her to abuse. The murder, she said,

:07:26.:07:29.

was the tragic culmination of physical and verbal conduct,

:07:30.:07:32.

and violence to which She said he should serve

allegedly shared material with far On Sunday it emerged

:08:16.:08:20.

Councillor Michaela Beddows had been suspended from the party

:08:21.:08:35.

temporarily, but Labour didn't reveal the reason

:08:36.:08:36.

behind the decision. A ?15 million discount travel scheme

:08:37.:08:38.

for young people that was axed by the Welsh Government

:08:39.:08:41.

has been reinstated. Ministers had been criticised

:08:42.:08:42.

for scrapping My Travel Pass, which gives sixteen to eighteen year

:08:43.:08:45.

olds a third off bus travel. More TV dramas, comedy programmes

:08:46.:08:52.

and entertainment shows will be coming to your screen after the BBC

:08:53.:08:54.

announced it s increasing the amount But the total falls short

:08:55.:08:57.

of what some politicians Let's talk to our arts and media

:08:58.:09:02.

correspondent Huw Thomas. What will this mean

:09:03.:09:08.

for television viewers in Wales? Think of the dramas like satellite

:09:09.:09:22.

city and comedies, these are the kinds of programmes BBC Wales says

:09:23.:09:26.

there will be more of once this investment kicks in. By 2020 there

:09:27.:09:31.

will be an extra ?8.5 million a year to spend from the BBC in London on

:09:32.:09:36.

in this language TV programmes. That will be added to the 21 million or

:09:37.:09:40.

so which is already spent on programmes here. Making TV

:09:41.:09:45.

programmes is expensive but BBC Wales says there will be noticeable

:09:46.:09:48.

impact on the from this new investment. The ambition is that the

:09:49.:09:53.

BBC will just be showing these programmes on BBC One Wales or on

:09:54.:09:58.

the BBC Wales services, that at least half of them will make it onto

:09:59.:10:03.

the network which means they will be seen I BBC audiences across the UK.

:10:04.:10:10.

Why this announcement? Three years ago the head of the BBC came to

:10:11.:10:13.

Cardiff and said he felt English-language programming had

:10:14.:10:17.

been eroded over the previous ten years. It started a debate with

:10:18.:10:22.

everyone from the First Minister through to the Institute of Welsh

:10:23.:10:26.

Affairs contributing to say that what was needed was more money and

:10:27.:10:30.

that actually about ?30 million would have meaningful impact. So

:10:31.:10:35.

there has been some criticism that the ?8.5 million has not come close

:10:36.:10:38.

to match the levels that were spent on in this language programming a

:10:39.:10:45.

decade ago. Bethan Jenkins from the Culture Committee called for the ?30

:10:46.:10:47.

million figure and this was her reaction. I think it has been a long

:10:48.:10:54.

time coming. We do welcome any investment. If 50% increase is

:10:55.:11:01.

something we will look forward to but we would see it falls short of

:11:02.:11:05.

the ?30 million a year increase we wanted to see. The first fruits of

:11:06.:11:11.

this announcement will be revealed in the next few days. BBC Wales has

:11:12.:11:14.

commissioned two new dramas and they will be revealing a few more details

:11:15.:11:18.

about those in the days to come. The seaside and funfair

have entertained holiday And some nasty conditions on the way

on Thursday thanks to storm Doris. South Wales Fire and Rescue service

:11:26.:11:33.

says it hopes the conviction of a former safety consultant

:11:34.:11:43.

who gave "valueless advice" will help bring in new rules

:11:44.:11:46.

to regulate the industry. 59-year-old Brian Fakir was given

:11:47.:11:48.

a six month suspended sentence for failing to carry out proper risk

:11:49.:11:51.

assessment for charity shops in Aberdare, Bargoed,

:11:52.:11:54.

Blackwood and Caldicot. Cardiff Crown Court heard anyone

:11:55.:11:56.

can set themselves up as a fire safety expert,

:11:57.:11:58.

something the fire Fire crews were amazed no one was

:11:59.:12:15.

killed here in Pontypool in 2014. A charity shop gutted and the flat

:12:16.:12:22.

above destroyed. Just months later another Saint Davids Hospice shop

:12:23.:12:26.

was also destroyed by fire in Newbridge. Nobody was prosecuted but

:12:27.:12:33.

a wider investigation began. This is Brian Fakir. Lives depended on his

:12:34.:12:41.

reports being suitable and sufficient but they weren't. He

:12:42.:12:45.

failed in his duty 13 times. This was a shop he assessed in Aberdare.

:12:46.:12:51.

Escape routes blocked, no appropriate fire alarm fitted. He

:12:52.:12:55.

didn't even record that this basement existed as part of a shop

:12:56.:13:03.

he assessed in Blackwood. The judge handed Brian Fakir a six month

:13:04.:13:05.

suspended jail sentence and ordered that the complete 180 hours

:13:06.:13:11.

committee service. He told in your assessments failed to address the

:13:12.:13:16.

most obvious risks. It seems to me they were valueless. He also told

:13:17.:13:20.

the court it was jaw-dropping that anyone could set themselves up as a

:13:21.:13:24.

consultant and give fire safety advice without having any formal

:13:25.:13:28.

quotations. South Wales Fire and rescue hope this case will help them

:13:29.:13:31.

in their campaign to change the rules. It is a vital piece of

:13:32.:13:36.

legislation. The skill sets and require -- requires to identify this

:13:37.:13:41.

and we're talking about potential loss of life and serious injury, we

:13:42.:13:45.

have to have people qualified and experienced to undertake that work.

:13:46.:13:49.

Saint Davids Hospice has furnished this shop that has had to spend tens

:13:50.:13:55.

of thousands of pounds reassessing all its properties. The Fire Service

:13:56.:13:57.

is now urging other customers to get in touch.

:13:58.:13:59.

The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales says he's "disappointed"

:14:00.:14:02.

that Bridgend Council has rejected his recommendation

:14:03.:14:04.

to compensate a man who grew up in foster care for failing

:14:05.:14:07.

In December, Nick Bennett said the council should pay Rob Johnson

:14:08.:14:13.

more than ?3,000 by January but the payment has not been made.

:14:14.:14:16.

Rob Johnson was two-years-old when he was fostered but having

:14:17.:14:25.

turned 18 he's starting to stand on his own two feet.

:14:26.:14:29.

His carers had put money aside for him.

:14:30.:14:32.

However, when Rob asked the council for his savings when he left care,

:14:33.:14:35.

there was substantially less than he was expecting.

:14:36.:14:39.

He still hopes that he'll receive the full amount.

:14:40.:14:43.

It would make my life better. It's my money and it's not been given to

:14:44.:14:53.

me. I feel a bit let down by the council. I want you to get justice.

:14:54.:15:02.

Following an investigation, the Ombudsman agreed some

:15:03.:15:03.

of the savings were wrongly used by the council.

:15:04.:15:05.

He'll meet with officials tomorrow to discuss the case.

:15:06.:15:08.

I hope I can persuade the council leader that it would be a very

:15:09.:15:17.

disappointing message to the people of Bridgend and further afield if

:15:18.:15:20.

they cannot see they have a responsibility to put this wrong

:15:21.:15:21.

right. The Ombudsman says he will issue

:15:22.:15:24.

a further special report if the authority doesn t

:15:25.:15:26.

change its stance Bridgend council said it takes its

:15:27.:15:36.

role as a corporate parent seriously and the council goes on to explain

:15:37.:15:40.

that as the ombudsman has recognised this case raises issues at the

:15:41.:15:43.

national level and that it would be inappropriate to seek a deal with

:15:44.:15:47.

them at a local level. The thing about an individual case like this

:15:48.:15:52.

is that it highlights a crack in the system and once this case is

:15:53.:15:57.

resolved the Welsh Government and the Welsh Local Government

:15:58.:16:04.

Association will look at the consistency of rights to savings and

:16:05.:16:08.

pocket money are being applied right across Wales to make sure it is

:16:09.:16:09.

consistent and fair. This case may have wider

:16:10.:16:11.

implications in the long run but the focus will now be

:16:12.:16:14.

on tomorrow's meeting, and whether Rob Johnson

:16:15.:16:16.

will get his money or not. The sister of a Welsh fisherman

:16:17.:16:27.

who died in an accident on his boat is helping to lead a new campaign

:16:28.:16:30.

to improve safety at sea. In a film produced by the RNLI,

:16:31.:16:33.

Yona Hughes, from the Lleyn peninsular, speaks movingly

:16:34.:16:36.

about her brother. Gareth Jones died after getting

:16:37.:16:38.

caught up in deck machinery while he was fishing alone

:16:39.:16:40.

on his boat. He was my younger brother, two years

:16:41.:16:55.

between us. We were great friends. Yona Hughes was close to her

:16:56.:17:02.

brother. He knew everyone in the village and the area and because of

:17:03.:17:07.

his work he knew various fishermen from across the country. Dafydd

:17:08.:17:12.

Jones grew up with the sea and boats. He was 36 when he died in

:17:13.:17:16.

March 20 14. He was fishing alone when his clothing got caught up in a

:17:17.:17:21.

deck winch. Because he was on his own he wasn't able to free himself.

:17:22.:17:30.

Complete and utter shock. It was just awful. I couldn't believe such

:17:31.:17:36.

a thing happened. But it did happen and all too frequently. The RNLI

:17:37.:17:40.

said it launched 450 times to commercial fishing related incidents

:17:41.:17:48.

last year. Sean Williams 's secretary of the pot fishermen 's

:17:49.:17:52.

Association. I want to make it as safe as possible to work

:17:53.:18:00.

single-handedly. Half the fishermen work single-handedly and it is a

:18:01.:18:10.

dangerous occupation. I try now to think about everything I do

:18:11.:18:17.

carefully. With problems often caused by older equipment the RNLI

:18:18.:18:22.

is now urging operators to take advantage of an EU fund to improve

:18:23.:18:28.

safety. You need to come home their families at the end of the day and

:18:29.:18:31.

you need to keep yourself safe and your boat well equipped.

:18:32.:18:35.

Tonight's sport now. Here's Tomos.

:18:36.:18:38.

It's the biggest sporting event of the year with 200 million people

:18:39.:18:40.

expected to watch on TV around the world.

:18:41.:18:42.

For the first time Wales will host the Champions League

:18:43.:18:45.

Before the men's final, the women will take centre stage

:18:46.:18:49.

at the Cardiff City Stadium 100 days from now.

:18:50.:18:59.

It kicked off with a quiet staging a flash mob. Previously quiet corner

:19:00.:19:10.

of this Cardiff library as confused at first. Organisers hope the

:19:11.:19:19.

women's game will be given a go because staging both finals has its

:19:20.:19:27.

advantages. It gives the spectators a chance to see both finals. For the

:19:28.:19:36.

national team manager and ambassador for the finals it's a chance to grow

:19:37.:19:44.

the game here. Jayne Ludlow was forced away from the sport as a

:19:45.:19:48.

teenager. Too few opportunities free and girls. I went back to track and

:19:49.:19:54.

field for a few years because they weren't many female clubs in Wales.

:19:55.:19:59.

It has grown and we want to push down any boundaries. Events like

:20:00.:20:04.

this can only help us do that. This singer got his hands on the first

:20:05.:20:08.

ticket. Organisers are hoping to sell 15,000. At ?6 for adults and

:20:09.:20:15.

three times the children they are a fraction of the cost of the men's

:20:16.:20:22.

final with top tickets are ?390. They will be hoping for better

:20:23.:20:27.

weather in June when both the finals will take place. Part of a four-day

:20:28.:20:34.

festival of football. Large parts of Cardiff will be transformed to cater

:20:35.:20:39.

for tens of thousands of fans. The only British side left in the

:20:40.:20:43.

competition, Manchester City, have just signed Carli Lloyd, the player

:20:44.:20:50.

who won the World Cup for the USA. The lights of Barcelona are also

:20:51.:20:53.

aiming to make it to Cardiff. Whichever teams contest the final

:20:54.:20:57.

there is no doubt it will be a massive that is to security

:20:58.:21:01.

challenge, staging the biggest sporting event of 2017.

:21:02.:21:04.

Newport County, four points adrift at the bottom of League Two,

:21:05.:21:07.

County are expected to have Mitch Rose available after appealing

:21:08.:21:10.

the midfielder's red card in the defeat at Cambridge

:21:11.:21:12.

To rugby and George North is on course to return from injury

:21:13.:21:19.

for Wales' Six Nations game against Scotland on Saturday.

:21:20.:21:21.

The wing missed the defeat to England with a leg injury,

:21:22.:21:24.

but defence coach Shaun Edwards says he's trained today and there

:21:25.:21:26.

We are looking very healthy at the moment. Healthier than we were in

:21:27.:21:45.

the England week. We are going to be selecting from strength. We are

:21:46.:21:51.

aware of the threat from Scotland. The games are won and lost upfront

:21:52.:21:55.

and the forward battle will be pivotal.

:21:56.:21:59.

The team is announced on Thursday. Back to you, Jamie.

:22:00.:22:06.

Generations of holiday by the seaside in Porthcawl the visitors

have declined. Now they will be multi-million pound maritime centre

will. Riding high above Porthcawl in its

:22:17.:22:31.

heyday. For decades tourists have flocked to this town attracted by

:22:32.:22:36.

its caravan parks and beaches. But in recent years although visitors

:22:37.:22:42.

have continued to come here some argue it's a shadow of what it once

:22:43.:22:46.

was. There was a massive building here which was a cinema. Victor

witnessing its ups and downs. Growing up here in the 30s and 40s

he and his friends would take advantage of the high volume of

:23:00.:23:02.

people coming into the town. We would be the train and we would take

:23:03.:23:08.

the cases to trickle Bay. There was a train every hour so you couldn't

:23:09.:23:15.

walk when you add on the beach without stepping on someone it was a

:23:16.:23:19.

backpack. How have you seen exchange? It's not the same as it

:23:20.:23:25.

was. It's lost something. Porthcawl has a lot to offer but it's days

:23:26.:23:34.

like this that let it down. There is little to do here which is within

:23:35.:23:38.

new development over here comes into play. Cosy corner as it's known next

:23:39.:23:43.

to the harbour was named after the former cosy cinema which was once

:23:44.:23:46.

year along with the skating rink. The plan for the space now is

:23:47.:23:51.

Porthcawl Marathon Centre including watersports and exercise facilities,

:23:52.:23:57.

a science centre and an outdoor theatre. Those behind it say

:23:58.:24:00.

although figures show close to ?1 million -- close to a million people

:24:01.:24:04.

visit the area some only visits per day. Most people will come for a day

:24:05.:24:10.

to walk along the seaside and have an ice cream. Then they go home.

:24:11.:24:16.

What we are trying to create is somewhere people can feel with a

:24:17.:24:22.

want to come and stay and spend money. It's a chance to have an

:24:23.:24:27.

all-weather attraction, somewhere that might be thought of as a

:24:28.:24:34.

seaside holiday destination. It is a way of getting people to see the

:24:35.:24:37.

fantastic coastline in all its majesty. Work could begin as early

:24:38.:24:44.

as this year with the building expected to open by 2019. A place

:24:45.:24:47.

for tourists to go when the weather is not so kind to this seaside town.

:24:48.:24:54.

The weather now and Doris is heading our way.

:24:55.:24:56.

Heavy rain and strong winds likely on Thursday and an amber warning in

:24:57.:25:09.

place. Not as bad tonight. We have some patchy rain to deal with. A

:25:10.:25:12.

little bit windy out and about. Overnight we will see more

:25:13.:25:16.

persistent rain coming in from the north-west but still some dry

:25:17.:25:21.

weather as well. Temperatures not dropping too much thanks to the

:25:22.:25:26.

wind. As we head into tomorrow we have this cold weather front

:25:27.:25:30.

lingering and bringing a lot of cloud and rain from the word go. Not

:25:31.:25:36.

a very nice for the rush hour tomorrow morning. Strong winds from

:25:37.:25:40.

the West. Poor visibility and we will hang on to the rain as we head

:25:41.:25:44.

into the afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow still pretty mild for the

:25:45.:25:49.

time of year. Tomorrow night we do have that rain for a time. We will

:25:50.:25:54.

hang on to the cloud and overnight another band of rain will push in

:25:55.:25:59.

from the south-west. Starting to get a bit chilly tomorrow night.

:26:00.:26:09.

Temperatures down to four Celsius. Then stormed Doris and a deep area

:26:10.:26:15.

of low pressure as we head into Thursday bringing with it the rain

:26:16.:26:20.

and then the wind. We do have an amber warning across North Wales for

:26:21.:26:27.

Thursday. Guests of 70 or 80 mph could cause some problems with

:26:28.:26:31.

travel. For the rest of the country we have the yellow be aware warning.

:26:32.:26:37.

The good news is once the rain clears through it will brighten up

:26:38.:26:42.

and temperatures ranging between eight and 10 Celsius. Once the rain

:26:43.:26:50.

clears on Thursday night it is looking to try and turning colder as

:26:51.:26:53.

we head into the end of the week. Chilly but bright on Friday and

:26:54.:26:59.

looking unsettled for the weekend. The headlines. They heterosexual

couple have lost a court battle to have a civil partnership rather than

:27:04.:27:06.

be married. Civil partnerships are currently only available to same-sex

:27:07.:27:19.

couples. A teacher from Swansea says he is still waiting for answers

:27:20.:27:21.

after he was removed from a flight to New York while on a school trip.

:27:22.:27:28.

25-year-old Juhel Miah who teaches in Neath was flying from Iceland to

:27:29.:27:33.

the United States when he was asked to leave the plane.

:27:34.:27:35.

I'll have an update for you here at 8:00pm and again

:27:36.:27:40.

From all of us on the programme, good evening.
