:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight's headlines, it's believed husband and wife,

:00:00. > :00:00.named locally as Kevin and Ruth Burke, were killed

:00:07. > :00:08.in the helicopter crash in Snowdonia, alongside three

:00:09. > :00:13.The wreckage was found following a difficult air and land

:00:14. > :00:21.Poor weather has been hampering the search with horrendous

:00:22. > :00:27.conditions reducing visibility to less than ten metres at time.

:00:28. > :00:30.In the past hour, police have said recovery of the five bodies may be

:00:31. > :00:47.suspended due to the worsening weather here.

:00:48. > :00:51.With rising costs and an expected drop in students, almost 140 jobs

:00:52. > :01:00.are being lost at the University of South Wales.

:01:01. > :01:01.Sarah Williams from Usk needed specialist care.

:01:02. > :01:04.Now Cardiff and Swansea both bid to become Wales' first

:01:05. > :01:19.A warning tonight that a clear decision is needed to help Wales

:01:20. > :01:22.Hello, in tonight's sport: Move with the times,

:01:23. > :01:24.or cricket will die, the stark message from Glamorgan.

:01:25. > :01:28.Why the Welsh County wants Cardiff to be a part

:01:29. > :01:46.Following a major air and land search for a helicopter that went

:01:47. > :01:49.missing over north Wales last night, it's been confirmed that a crash

:01:50. > :01:51.site has been found, along with the bodies

:01:52. > :01:54.It's understood they were members of the same family, named locally

:01:55. > :01:57.as Kevin and Ruth Burke and three of their relatives.

:01:58. > :01:59.The privately-owned helicopter vanished yesterday evening, en route

:02:00. > :02:02.The wreckage was found in the Rhinog Mountains,

:02:03. > :02:05.Our reporter, Roger Pinney, is near the crash site.

:02:06. > :02:25.This is as close as we are allowed to get to that crash site. That is a

:02:26. > :02:31.few miles up into the hills behind me. The terrain is said to be

:02:32. > :02:34.extremely hazardous. Last night, the search operation focused on the sea

:02:35. > :02:41.around Caernarfon Bay. But this morning, that changed. Narrowing the

:02:42. > :02:43.search to South Snowdonia allowed a concentration of effort.

:02:44. > :02:44.The military joining civilian volunteer teams.

:02:45. > :02:47.It must have felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.

:02:48. > :02:50.Mid-morning, they found the crash site and the five bodies.

:02:51. > :02:53.The news was given at a police press conference.

:02:54. > :02:54.Poor weather has been hampering the surge,

:02:55. > :02:57.with conditions reducing visibility to less than ten metres at times.

:02:58. > :03:01.I can sadly now confirm that a crash site has been located and that five

:03:02. > :03:02.people have lost their lives during this incident.

:03:03. > :03:05.I am sure you will appreciate this is an agonising time

:03:06. > :03:07.for the families and friends of all involved.

:03:08. > :03:15.Our thoughts are very much with them at this time.

:03:16. > :03:16.Carol Jarvis was camping in the area.

:03:17. > :03:20.Conditions for the search teams were appalling, she told me.

:03:21. > :03:23.The conditions around the lake have been absolutely shocking.

:03:24. > :03:26.I've been camping for a couple of weeks and it has been quite nice

:03:27. > :03:29.but it has just got really, really quite bad the last couple

:03:30. > :03:32.You can't see the top of any of the hills.

:03:33. > :03:40.Yes, and the weather doesn't look like it is going to calm down yet.

:03:41. > :03:43.The helicopter is a twin squirrel, manufactured by Airbus.

:03:44. > :03:47.It took off from the Luton area yesterday afternoon to make

:03:48. > :03:56.At some stage, it disappeared from the radar.

:03:57. > :03:59.I did some of my helicopter flying training in Snowdonia.

:04:00. > :04:01.It is awesome scenery but you don't go up there lightly

:04:02. > :04:04.if the cloud is low, you can't see, you don't go

:04:05. > :04:06.because obviously the higher you get, the more the cloud

:04:07. > :04:10.is going to be a due can't see forward and there are big lumps

:04:11. > :04:12.of granite in the way and you don't really want that.

:04:13. > :04:16.So you have to take the weather very much into account in North Wales.

:04:17. > :04:18.It does surprise me that an experienced pilot would be

:04:19. > :04:21.in that position in that weather at that time.

:04:22. > :04:33.The helicopter was owned by Kevin and Ruth Burke

:04:34. > :04:38.Mrs Burke is believed to come originally from Dublin.

:04:39. > :04:41.Conditions on the ground improved marginally during the day.

:04:42. > :04:43.The investigation into what happened will have already begun.

:04:44. > :04:52.The wreckage antibodies yet need to be recovered.

:04:53. > :04:59.-- and the bodies. A flight like this should have been relatively

:05:00. > :05:05.routine for such an aircraft. Focus will now return to exactly what went

:05:06. > :05:08.wrong and members of the Department for Transport air accident

:05:09. > :05:13.investigations Branch are on their way. They will have to do

:05:14. > :05:18.painstakingly remove the wreckage from the scene. That won't be easy

:05:19. > :05:22.and then reconstruct as much of the aircraft as possible to try to put

:05:23. > :05:26.together their picture. Now the police say that members of the

:05:27. > :05:27.search and rescue teams are still up on the site tonight and they are

:05:28. > :05:31.asking other people to stay away. 139 jobs are going at

:05:32. > :05:33.the University of South Wales. It says costs are rising and it

:05:34. > :05:38.expects student recruitment to fall. The institution was formed four

:05:39. > :05:40.years ago following a merger of Glamorgan and Newport

:05:41. > :05:42.universities and has around Our reporter Paul Martin

:05:43. > :06:07.is at the main campus in Treforest. Well, the University of South Wales

:06:08. > :06:13.is Wales' second biggest university in terms of numbers and has around

:06:14. > :06:15.3000 staff and we are told that today's cuts will proportionately

:06:16. > :06:20.affect senior management more than others but what we don't have is a

:06:21. > :06:24.breakdown of numbers, how many senior management affected, how many

:06:25. > :06:29.academic staff and how many support staff. The University is going to

:06:30. > :06:31.look for voluntary redundancies. One of the trade unions representing

:06:32. > :06:33.people working here will says it wants a commitment to what it calls

:06:34. > :06:34.front-line workers. We are aware that yes,

:06:35. > :06:37.within the number of staff that will be cut, it looks

:06:38. > :06:39.proportionately like senior managers, however, this

:06:40. > :06:41.is on the back of year-on-year cuts. Front line staff have

:06:42. > :06:43.already been affected, so we really don't have any more

:06:44. > :07:01.space for any more cuts. So, can we put this down to Brexit?

:07:02. > :07:05.Well, I suppose the day after Article 50 was triggered and given

:07:06. > :07:08.how vocal universities were in last summer 's referendum campaign, I

:07:09. > :07:12.guess that is the obvious question and earlier this month we heard the

:07:13. > :07:16.chair of universities Wales Colin Riordan telling this programme he

:07:17. > :07:21.expected the numbers of students from the European Union coming to

:07:22. > :07:24.Wales to fall after Brexit. But we heard prominent leave campaigners

:07:25. > :07:28.saying this is an opportunity for higher education, not least in terms

:07:29. > :07:37.of the level of fees it can charge. But in its statement today, it did

:07:38. > :07:42.reference Brexit and it did say it expected to affect recruitment but

:07:43. > :07:47.that is not the full story. Costs are increasing year on year and it

:07:48. > :07:50.feels it has maximised its domestic home student recruitment. I asked a

:07:51. > :07:55.source at the university this afternoon whether this announcement

:07:56. > :07:59.would be happening today without Brexit. They said it may not have

:08:00. > :08:01.been happening today but either way there was some sort of restructure

:08:02. > :08:05.coming down the track and I suppose the question now is whether other

:08:06. > :08:08.universities will make similar announcements.

:08:09. > :08:10.Wales is about to get its first specialist major trauma

:08:11. > :08:12.unit to treat patients with life threatening injuries.

:08:13. > :08:15.Senior doctors say the NHS here has fallen behind many developed

:08:16. > :08:17.countries when it comes to treating the most serious injuries,

:08:18. > :08:20.describing it as embarrassing that we don't have a dedicated unit.

:08:21. > :08:23.Our health correspondent, Owain Clarke, has this

:08:24. > :08:33.This is where my car was actually on its side,

:08:34. > :08:38.This is where I was cut out of the car.

:08:39. > :08:41.Sarah Williams can't remember much about the 10th of June 2015.

:08:42. > :08:43.After her horrific crash, the air ambulance was sent

:08:44. > :08:51.When I wasn't starting to regain conscious,

:08:52. > :08:53.that was when the doctor who was the flying doctor,

:08:54. > :08:56.started to realise that maybe something wasn't quite right and it

:08:57. > :09:02.The doctor also decided not to take the nearest A,

:09:03. > :09:05.as would have happened if a road ambulance had turned up.

:09:06. > :09:08.Instead, she was flown straight to Wales' biggest hospital to have

:09:09. > :09:09.surgery to relieve pressure on the brain.

:09:10. > :09:11.The decision is likely to have saved her life,

:09:12. > :09:13.but it's not always obvious wary seriously injured patient

:09:14. > :09:24.Major trauma affects everybody but is the leading cause

:09:25. > :09:28.We do have all of the constituent parts of the major trauma centre

:09:29. > :09:32.What we don't have is them concentrated on a single site,

:09:33. > :09:37.where we can manage these patients sufficiently.

:09:38. > :09:40.In North Wales and part of mid Wales, there is a system which means

:09:41. > :09:42.patients with life-threatening injuries are taken across

:09:43. > :09:45.There are around two dozen major trauma centres

:09:46. > :09:48.At these hospitals specialist teams are on stand-by 24 hours a day.

:09:49. > :09:50.And survival rates increased dramatically.

:09:51. > :09:59.It's actually embarrassing to be part of a system that doesn't have

:10:00. > :10:10.We are falling behind, as you said, the rest of the modern world.

:10:11. > :10:13.The University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and Morriston in Swansea

:10:14. > :10:14.want to become dedicated major trauma centres.

:10:15. > :10:17.But at the moment, neither has all the specialisms.

:10:18. > :10:19.Each has been making its case and a recommendation is due soon.

:10:20. > :10:22.Morriston is one of the leading centres in the UK, treating burns,

:10:23. > :10:27.It has 55 acres of available land to expand and one of its bosses

:10:28. > :10:36.Because Morriston is sitting on the motorway at the M4,

:10:37. > :10:39.it means that it is much easier to access and you can get

:10:40. > :10:42.to the other side of Haverfordwest, the other side of Brecon,

:10:43. > :10:49.to the other side of Newport, easily within an hour.

:10:50. > :10:51.But Cardiff argues it would serve a bigger population.

:10:52. > :10:52.It is home to Wales' Children's Hospital

:10:53. > :11:05.and the only one in Wales that performs brain surgery.

:11:06. > :11:07.We aim to provide a fully comprehensive neurological service

:11:08. > :11:10.and I think one of the examples from the data we submit

:11:11. > :11:13.to the National registry is that of those patients affected by severe

:11:14. > :11:15.trauma, 70% of those patients are going to

:11:16. > :11:18.Southmead Hospital just across the Severn Bridge in Bristol

:11:19. > :11:21.is one of two major trauma centres in the south-west of England.

:11:22. > :11:23.Staff here say the benefits of having all the expertise

:11:24. > :11:34.But we know now that we were OK at it and now we really are excellent.

:11:35. > :11:37.Swansea and Cardiff in many areas of life have often been fierce

:11:38. > :11:39.rivals but choosing a major trauma centre, it is argued,

:11:40. > :11:41.shouldn't be about winners and losers if patients

:11:42. > :11:45.across South Wales benefiting the end.

:11:46. > :11:48.The mother of a man who died after he killed a 22-year-old woman

:11:49. > :11:52.in a hostel has told an inquest the two would still be alive

:11:53. > :11:54.if a police officer had got the psychiatric appointment promised

:11:55. > :11:56.for her son when he was released from prison.

:11:57. > :11:59.Matthew Williams attacked and killed Cerys Yemm in Argoed in 2014.

:12:00. > :12:00.He died after being tasered by police.

:12:01. > :12:02.Almost 150 people have lost their jobs after

:12:03. > :12:04.a Barry-based scaffolding firm went into administration.

:12:05. > :12:06.SHS Integrated Services also had sites in

:12:07. > :12:24.Administrator Deloitte blamed poor trading over the past two years.

:12:25. > :12:26.Three people have been released on bail after being arrested

:12:27. > :12:28.in connection with a murder investigation in Wrexham.

:12:29. > :12:31.67-year-old Nicholas Churton was found dead at a house on Monday.

:12:32. > :12:33.Detectives have been given a further 36 hours to question

:12:34. > :12:43.Ministers in London say it'll mean more powers

:12:44. > :12:47.But Plaid Cymru say it's the biggest Westminster power grab since the Act

:12:48. > :12:50.of Union between Wales and England nearly 500 years ago.

:12:51. > :12:52.The row is over what happens to powers that currently rest

:12:53. > :12:54.in Brussels after we leave the European Union.

:12:55. > :12:56.Our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock, is in Westminster.

:12:57. > :13:11.David, what exactly is the UK Government proposing?

:13:12. > :13:17.Lucy, think of areas like farming, the environment and transport, areas

:13:18. > :13:20.where the Welsh Government is in charge but operates under a

:13:21. > :13:28.framework really set at the moment at European level. What happens

:13:29. > :13:33.after Brexit? Alun Cairns says those powers will be brought back from

:13:34. > :13:36.Brussels and they will be held at Westminster in a holding pattern

:13:37. > :13:40.before it is decided how they should be shared out throughout the United

:13:41. > :13:43.Kingdom. He says that although the Welsh Government will get a

:13:44. > :13:50.significant increase in powers, there will still be a case for a UK

:13:51. > :13:53.wide framework in some areas. The Welsh Government accepts the

:13:54. > :13:57.argument that there will need to be UK wide frameworks but it says if

:13:58. > :14:02.these are devolved powers, they should come back to Wales and Plaid

:14:03. > :14:08.Cymru have gone further, Jonathan Edwards, their Brexit spokesman, has

:14:09. > :14:17.said this is the biggest Westminster power grab since 1536 and he says it

:14:18. > :14:23.is the first time since devolution that MPs from England will have a

:14:24. > :14:27.say over devolved areas. You can say that -- you can see that just a day

:14:28. > :14:28.after the formal process Brexit began, the arguments are already

:14:29. > :14:31.kicking off. Still to come tonight:

:14:32. > :14:34.Empty seats at Glamorgan. one of the reason why the county

:14:35. > :14:38.wants to be a part of the biggest And some heavy rain in parts

:14:39. > :14:42.of the north and west today. But in Cardiff the warmest

:14:43. > :14:45.day of the year so far. I'll have the forecast

:14:46. > :14:54.for the next few days. The number of reported domestic

:14:55. > :14:57.violence offences in Wales increased by more than 20% between 2013

:14:58. > :15:00.and 2015, according to new figures. Legislation which encourages victims

:15:01. > :15:02.and perpetrators to seek support The Welsh Government says campaigns

:15:03. > :15:06.to raise awareness of it are making good progress but there are calls

:15:07. > :15:08.for greater awareness Controlling, threatening

:15:09. > :15:21.or violent behaviour. It can cause emotional,

:15:22. > :15:23.psychological or physical harm. A couple from Swansea told me

:15:24. > :15:26.about their own experience. We've agreed to protect

:15:27. > :15:27.their identity. For Sarah, increasingly regular

:15:28. > :15:29.arguments with her partner eventually turned violent

:15:30. > :15:38.and she was assaulted. Things just escalated and, you know,

:15:39. > :15:42.it would be something little The last time, he grabbed my neck,

:15:43. > :15:46.it was like the final straw. We could have been arguing

:15:47. > :15:55.and I could have hit my head and then obviously my daughter

:15:56. > :15:58.would have been without a mother. Not wanting to get her partner

:15:59. > :16:00.arrested, the couple sought help. They turned to a local domestic

:16:01. > :16:03.abuse hub which provided Her partner, Mark, says he deeply

:16:04. > :16:10.regrets his actions. I feel terrible for the way that

:16:11. > :16:13.I treated my partner. There are no words to explain how

:16:14. > :16:16.how bad I felt straight after. I didn't learn from my

:16:17. > :16:19.mistakes but now I have. Figures from North Wales,

:16:20. > :16:21.Gwent and Dyfed-Powys Police forces show that in 2015,

:16:22. > :16:24.more than 10,000 domestic violence crimes were reported,

:16:25. > :16:28.compared to more than 8000 in 2013. Data from South Wales Police

:16:29. > :16:31.was not comparable. But the force said it also

:16:32. > :16:34.saw an increase of 48% Two years ago, a legislation was

:16:35. > :16:38.introduced by the Welsh Government to improve the prevention

:16:39. > :16:40.of gender-based abuse and to protect A national framework has since been

:16:41. > :16:48.published but there are calls for greater awareness

:16:49. > :17:07.of the guidance. We need the Welsh Government

:17:08. > :17:10.and we need the local authorities to learn about the act,

:17:11. > :17:12.understand what their duties are and start using the guidance

:17:13. > :17:16.as it comes out, so that we know any survivor, anywhere,

:17:17. > :17:18.or their children, can get that Today, new proposed sentencing

:17:19. > :17:21.guidelines have been published They say that abuse in a domestic

:17:22. > :17:25.setting should be regarded as more serious than in a non-domestic

:17:26. > :17:27.setting, as it's likely to be a repeated offence,

:17:28. > :17:30.which can have a lasting impact A new hangar where cutting edge spy

:17:31. > :17:44.planes will be maintained has been Raytheon says the ?1 million

:17:45. > :17:47.investment at its Broughton site could help to create 200 jobs over

:17:48. > :17:50.the next three years. Sentinel surveillance

:17:51. > :17:51.planes are being developed In the last 18 months or so,

:17:52. > :18:02.we have added 50 jobs Great support from the Welsh

:18:03. > :18:06.Government to do that. But as we look forward

:18:07. > :18:08.and as we increase our export opportunities and start to win work

:18:09. > :18:11.overseas then we'd be adding hundreds of jobs as we start

:18:12. > :18:21.to fulfil that work. One of the authors of a major review

:18:22. > :18:23.of our national parks, says the Welsh Government now needs

:18:24. > :18:26.to make a clear decision Dr Ruth Williams has told this

:18:27. > :18:30.programme that ministers needed to provide direction at a time

:18:31. > :18:32.when Wales is trying to promote itself more than ever

:18:33. > :18:34.on the global stage. Here's our environment

:18:35. > :18:42.correspondent, Steffan Messenger. It's a row about the future

:18:43. > :18:45.of our most iconic landscapes. Wales has three national parks -

:18:46. > :18:47.Snowdonia, the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast,

:18:48. > :18:49.and five areas of Between them, they attract hundreds

:18:50. > :19:04.of thousands of visitors each year. But back in 2015 a review,

:19:05. > :19:06.commissioned by the Welsh Government, suggested they needed

:19:07. > :19:08.to do more to help the people living in them,

:19:09. > :19:10.attracting green businesses, A working group was set

:19:11. > :19:18.up to look at how that It included figures

:19:19. > :19:20.from the parks themselves, as well as environment and business

:19:21. > :19:23.groups and local councils. Who look after areas

:19:24. > :19:25.of outstanding natural beauty Their report was due to be

:19:26. > :19:30.published this month and a debate scheduled to take place

:19:31. > :19:33.in the Senedd for Assembly Members But then, this week we heard that

:19:34. > :19:36.wasn't happening any more and the whole thing had been

:19:37. > :19:43.postponed until the summer. Part of the problem,

:19:44. > :19:45.BBC Wales has learnt, is that several of the conservation

:19:46. > :19:48.charities taking part in the process found they couldn't support

:19:49. > :19:58.the study's findings. We are not happy about the way the

:19:59. > :20:03.report has been drafted. It is a mess. You can read it anyway you
