Meanwhile, dramatic footage has emerged from Monmouth MP,

Is it coming? This is the moment Monmouth MP David Davis realise that

something serious was happening in Westminster. He was forced to run

and hide from gunshots. He filmed this footage on his mobile phone.

Described by police as a terrorist incident on Westminster Bridge and

Parliament, a stabbing, gunshots, and a car appearing to collide into

passers-by has resulted in injuries and fatalities. At least one shot. I

looked around and thought, this can't be real. Then more shots. I

can't remember exactly, someone started shouting, get down. We got

on the floor. People started moving backwards. I waited for the shops to

stop. I was behind a pillar. I took a chance and ran back to the house.

I did not know what was going on. Someone was in the area with a gun.

David Davis was among the MPs, peers and staff working in Parliament

required to remain a knock-down. Launched German treated these photos

of Lords being evacuated to Westminster Abbey. As a emergency

services attended the scene in central London from 2:40pm,

proceedings were in full flow at Cardiff Bay until the news spread.

Soon after, presiding officer Alan Jones adjourned for the day. We will

not be calling for the speakers at this debate. Events are still

unfolding at Westminster but are being treated as a serious terrorist

incident. In light of those circumstances, and in discussion

with the business managers of all political parties, I have decided to

adjourn today's proceedings. As security and emergency services

dominate the landscape of Westminster tonight, there is also

an increased presence of armed officers around the areas as a

precaution. South-westward Wales police say they have also stepped up

security as a precaution. Let's speak to our parliamentary

correspondent David Cornock who has been in lockdown at Westminster

as events unfolded. I'm about 200 metres from the scene

of the attack, that's about as close as we can get because the police

have thrown a giant called in and around Westminster tonight. The

attack happened when Parliament was at its busiest, on a Wednesday just

after PMQs when MPs had gone to vote. As we saw, David Davies was

very close to the scene of the attack. Other MPs were in the

chamber and told to stay there. There was a lockdown in the House of

Commons. The secretaries of state for Wales had been in a meeting with

the Prime Minister and other colleagues. He was told to stay in

his Parliamentary office with other ministers. A short time ago he was

still there. Others, particularly members of the House of Lords, were

patiently evacuated to Westminster Abbey. Around 500 peers, MPs and

staff are in there. They are expecting to be there for about an

hour and a half as they are briefed by the police according to Lord

German, it is all very calm. Among the peers, one of the deputies, Lord

Bourne, said it was an unspeakable attack. A senseless atrocity.

Unspeakable and condemned by all faiths.

Give us a sense of what it's been like in Westminster today?

Visitors to Westminster had to go through airport style security.

There are so many armed police you don't really blink when you see it.

If you work there, like me, you have to have a pass and go through

betting to get that pass. There is a sense of shock that what appears to

be incredibly tight security has been breached today. The attacker

got through the first layer of security and although there is that

sense of shock, there will be big questions for the Parliamentary

authorities to ask and answer. About the attack that has left four people

dead. We'll bring you any

updates from Westminster Now, the rest of the day's news

and plans for a new prison near Port Talbot have been unveiled

by the Ministry of Justice. It's understood it'll

be a Category C prison It's part of a ?1.3 billion overhaul

of the prison estates The proposed site is on land

near the former Panasonic factory It might not look like much right

now, but the Ministry of Justice hopes this 35 acres of former

industrial land will be transformed into a modern-day prison. It's not

clear how it will look but it is believed it will be big enough for

up to 1600 inmates, serving shorter sentences for violent, drug related,

or sexual offences. But it would not be suitable in an open prison. On

the high streets, there were mixed feelings about the news. I don't

think they should come here. Find somewhere else. There will be work

during construction and work afterwards. Seems like a good sign

to me. They have to go somewhere I suppose. If it's secure, there's no

problem, is there? Fair enough, you might say it is category three, but

there will be all sorts of people in there. It's unacceptable for the

area. The announcement comes just weeks after the U:K.'s biggest

prison opened in Wrexham. That the decay -- that came with the promise

of many new jobs. It is not yet clear new jobs will be created if

reports how that site goes ahead. With uncertainty at steel plants,

this new proposal promises thousands of more jobs in construction and

manufacturing. We need to ensure there are good local jobs both in

construction and in the running of the prison. We also need to ensure

that where the construction is taking place is being done with

local materials, that there is a local supply chain. I will write to

the Minister to day to make sure it is absolutely clear that we want to

see this being too benefit of the local economy. At Heath College, etc

but -- it's hoped it could be a valuable experience for apprentices.

We have some excellent students that come through here, in terms of

brickwork. It could be huge for them. These plans are part of the UK

Government 's attempt to modernise its prison service, but any

application to develop this land will come up against the usual

planning procedures and it will face a full public consultation before

the possibility of a single brick being laid here. When it comes to

reforming our presence, some believe a totally different approach is

needed. I don't think creating a massive prison like you see in

America is the answer. We should be looking at prison reform, taking

people out of the justice system and trying to help them before they

commit a crime. There's lots of people with mental health problems

going into the system that should not be. Speculation has been growing

about the future of some of is all the prisons, like Swansea and

Cardiff. -- like some of Wales's older presence. What is clear is

that the government is determined to start building here within the next

three years. Agencies working with drug users

in North Wales say so called new psychoactive substances

are proving tough to tackle. NPSs - which can leave users

slumped and unresponsive - are cheap and not necessarily

illegal. Earlier this month photographs

appearing to show people under the influence of the drugs

in Wrexham were shared widely. Those who've tried it say

they have had seizures, stopped breathing, forgotten

who they are, and heard voices. The appeal might be hard to see -

but the symptoms aren't. Muscle spasms, confusion and people

frozen like statues. This police footage from Wrexham

shows men apparently high The town recently became the focus

of attention when these pictures Agencies who work with drug users

say Wrexham isn't unique The substance misuse seems to be

more visible now in communities. People seem a bit more

careless, a bit less We have got the public face

of substance misuse, which isn't always something

the public wants to see. I think that raises all sorts

of challenges for service providers, as well, as to how we best work

with these people. These are NPSs seized

by North Wales Police. But whether they're called Spice,

Blue Cheese or Black Mamba, the names and ingredients change

regularly to stay ahead of the law. Police say its not knowing

what's in them that Those people who have previously

been heroin dependent are now trying the legalised,

the Black Mamba, and then shunning it because they don't

like the adverse reaction it has. So, for me, if they are running away

from it then clearly there is something about it

that is very sinister. The problem we have now is this

collective group of individuals who are coalescing together,

who feel probably persecuted by the authorities because of the move

from pillar to post. North Wales Police say the number

of drug users hasn't increased A single hit can cost

as little as ?1. They are cheap, addictive,

and potentially lethal. It's a growing problem

with serious health risks. All the agencies are working hard

to clean up the streets. A former Machynlleth primary school

teacher has appeared in court accused of sexually abusing several

girls in the 1970s and 80s. 66-year-old Gordon Fleming

from Oswestry appeared at Aberystwyth Magistrates' Court -

but did not enter a plea. He's been charged with 61

counts of indecent assault He'll appear at Swansea

Crown Court next month. The Church in Wales has rejected

calls from Christian LGBT campaign group,

One Body Voice, to restart the process of appointing

a new Bishop of Llandaff. It comes after the Dean

of St Albans Cathedral, Dr Jeffrey John, accused the Church

in Wales of homophobia, The Church has denied homophobia

and says it has no plans The inquest into the deaths

of a women who was killed at a B by one of the residents heard today

from a pathologist who said he could find no evidence of cannibalism,

despite what witnesses Cerys Yemm was killed

by Matthew Williams at the Sirhowy Arms in Argoed

in Caerphilly County in 2014. He died after being tasered

by police at the scene. You may find some of

the details in this report Today, the inquest turned attention

to the scene of the extensive injuries inflicted here in the room

number seven of the Sirhowy Arms. In all, the jury were told

there were at least Deep cuts which could have led

to significant blood loss, and rapid The pathologist told the jury he had

found broken fragments of crockery, believed to be from a cereal bowl

in her mouth, and bite marks on her He gave the medical cause of her

death as sharp force trauma to He told the court he had

found no evidence of cannibalism, the bite marks had no

bearing on her death. But the blunt injuries

she sustained could have been caused by the cereal bowl

being struck and broken against her. The sharp injuries could have been

caused by pieces of ceramic from 34-year-old Matthew

Williams was repeatedly tasered at the scene,

as police tried to arrest him, On this, the inquest heard

from a firearms expert who confirmed that only one taser

had been discharged that night. Four times in total,

and three times within 30 seconds. Two other tasers which

belonged to other officers at the scene had not been

discharged, he said. Both Cerys Yemm and

Matthew Williams were said to have amphetamines

in their bodies. Four people have been killed

in a terrorist incident in London. A policeman was stabbed near

the Houses of Parliament and a man, believed to be an attacker,

was shot by police. Two other people have died,

and at least 20 others were injured after the attacker drove into them

in a car on Westminster Bridge. The parents of a seven-year-old boy

from Newport who died after heart surgery

at Bristol Children's Hospital have received ?100,000

from the NHS Trust Luke Jenkins suffered a cardiac

arrest five years ago. The BBC has seen a new Ombudsman's

report saying there were "missed Luke Jenkins was born

with a complex heart condition. Sadly, he was all too

used to hospital. He said he wanted to be

a doctor when he was His mother still has

questions about why he died. Luke had heart surgery

here at Bristol Children's Hospital. He was moved from intensive

care to Ward 32. He was operated on again,

but was returned to the ward. Days later, he suffered

a cardiac arrest and died. His father has been

unable to work since. They didn't pick it

up, they just weren't They just felt we were

going on at them. Looking back, we weren't,

and we were right. If they had listened

to us and had him back in intensive care,

he would still be here now. Now the BBC has this report from

the Health Service Ombudsman for It found Luke's parents were misled

by staff here about Ward At the time, the hospital had no

designated paediatric high It also found doctors

and nurses failed to recognise Luke's condition

was deteriorating. He should have been moved

to an intensive care unit. Luke's treatment has been

reviewed several times. Four years ago, the Avon

coroner said there was no evidence of gross

failure in his care. Now the Chief Executive of the trust

in charge of the hospital admits there were failings

in care and treatment. And the grief his family

suffered was made worse when the hospital gave them

incorrect information. But the ombudsman has not been able

to link the failings The constant fight and the battle

against the hospital, they have no They could have stopped it

all at the beginning. They have just made us relive it

all the time, and it's always been at the back of our

minds, a legal case, when really it's all about what

happened to Luke. Faye believes the last five years

could have been avoided if the doctor from the hospital who was not

involved in Luke's care but was reviewing his case admitted his

death was potentially avoidable. This is the first time the clip

has been played on TV. I fully accept, and I

speak on behalf of my colleagues and trust,

that we did not get There were factors that,

if they hadn't happened, The hospital says it has made

changes since Luke's death. And now, some satisfaction

for his family: a ?100,000 settlement from the trust,

to help them continue their lives, There have been ups and down -

Leanne Wood's take on her five years She launched the party's campaign

for May's local elections saying she expects Plaid

to make "significant advances". Our political correspondent

Daniel Davies reports. In her sights: more seats

in more council chambers. Leanne Wood bought her party

to her home patch for the This is the most united party

in Britain, said one speaker. Just yesterday, Plaid AMs readmitted

Neil McEvoy to their group in Cardiff Bay,

following his suspension over Look, none of us are going to be

happy with the situation when a member of Plaid,

has had to be suspended. But we have moved on from there now,

an apology has been issued, and we are

a functioning group. We will be working with our

candidates at local community level to try to get the best possible

local election results on May 4th. Labour, the biggest

party, has almost three and a half times as many.

Plaid councillors lead four of the 22 councils, Connelly, Ceredigion,

Carmarthenshire and Gwyneth. The party is eyeing

gains in the Labour strongholds of Caerphilly

amongst others, and in There was a lot of Labour

bashing at the elect and today, but no mention

of the compact between Labour Plaid chose Leanne Wood as its

leader five years ago this month. There's been a full term now

of elections since I've been leader of Plaid Cymru, it's

been five years since It's had its ups

and downs, I suppose. An unfinished revolution: that's

what Leanne Wood called her party's She claimed a big scalp

from Labour in last year's This year, she wants to see

Plaid Cymru do the same in council chambers

right across Wales. The Welsh Rugby Union

is planning to take control of Newport Gwent Dragons

by the end of June. The WRU has reached an agreement

with the region that includes it buying Rodney Parade and changing

the region's name to In recent years they've been

struggling on and off the pitch. After months of squabbling, and

looks like it's a deal. It's nearly 14 years since the rugby arrived.

The regions in and has unsuccessfully been looking for

investment for the last 11 months. Enter the WRU. Good afternoon. A

warm welcome. This is a very significant development in our game

in Wales. Confirmation today that the WRU plans to take full control

of the region and rename it simply the Dragons. And by Rodney Parade

two, and invest in it. Including laying an artificial pitch. This is

one of my favourites. It's scoring a try. Some new players and Newport

bands have seen WRU involvement as a potential threat to the club and the

grounds. -- Newport fans. We want to keep play at Rodney Parade. New

Zealand, South Africa, etc, they've all been there. They've played and

lost there. They know exactly the value of Rodney Parade and Newport

Rugby club. The message today was the WRU knows that value too, and

the deal was seen as essential to the future of the Dragons, Newport,

and the grounds. If the proposal is not supported, then any number of

scenarios are triggered. In effect, that will lead to the collapse of

the group. And rugby in any guise discontinuing at Rodney Parade. Its

shareholders that the union now have to convince. It's the club, not the

region, that owns the ground. Some sad news from the world

of cricket - the former Glamorgan coach and player,

John Derrick, has died He steered the county to two one day

titles in 2002 and 2004, as well as promotion

in the Championship. Football - and Joe Ledley could miss

birth until Monday, Time for a look at the weather now,

and Derek, it's still Yes it is colder than it

should be at the moment. A covering of snow

on the Brecon Beacons today. The best of the sunshine

in the south and in Swansea Clear in parts of

the south and west. Some mist and cold enough in places

for a touch of frost. Here's the picture for

eight in the morning. Some rain in parts of north,

mid and south Wales. Wintry on high ground

with a little snow. Pembrokeshire dry but rain

will spread west during the morning. Once it clears the

weather will improve. One or two showers about in

the afternoon but most places The best of the sunny spells

in the north and west. Breezier than today and temperatures

higher with a NE wind. Better in the afternoon

with a chilly wind. A light shower in

places otherwise dry. Tomorrow night much

of the country dry. Maybe a little rain in the far south

and southeast later in the night. On Friday, a little

rain in the south. One or two light

showers Otherwise dry. The best of the sunshine

in the west, parts of The chart for Saturday shows high

pressure over us and that means dry Leaving plenty of

sunshine Warmer too. Leaving plenty of

sunshine, warmer too. Feeling more like spring

with a breeze in the south. Tonight news is dominated

by events in London -- Four people have died

in a terrorist incident. A police officer protecting

the Houses of Parliament was stabbed by an attacker,

who was shot by officers. One of the victims was among

several people hit by a car MPs were locked in the House

of Commons for more than two hours A major terrorist

investigation is underway. Someone shouted, get down, and

everyone got time on the floor. People started moving backwards and

I waited for the shots to stop. I was behind a pillar. I just took a

chance and ran back to portcullis house.

You can of course follow events, as they unfold,

I'll be back with our next update after the BBC news at ten.

For now, from everyone on the programme, good evening.
