:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines:
:00:00. > :00:07.Hundreds of Labour supporters turn out to welcome leader Jeremy Corbyn.
:00:08. > :00:11.He set out his agenda for the general election
:00:12. > :00:17.We are offering justice across the country, we are offering
:00:18. > :00:19.housing opportunities to people, we are offering education
:00:20. > :00:21.opportunities, we are offering an economic policy that works
:00:22. > :00:23.for all, invests for all and invests for the future.
:00:24. > :00:26.Cardiff North is one of the main battlegrounds in this election.
:00:27. > :00:29.Jeremy Crobyn needs to win in places like this if he's to become
:00:30. > :00:47.Sam Gould has been diagnosed with bowel cancer aged just 33.
:00:48. > :00:50.Now he's fighting to raise awareness of the symptoms
:00:51. > :00:59.My three young children, aged five, three and one, for them I want to
:01:00. > :01:05.live and beat this, for them, because I love them so much.
:01:06. > :01:12.A million pound supermarket swindle - the company secretary is jailed.
:01:13. > :01:16.Bringing the Champions League trophy to Cardiff, but ahead of June's
:01:17. > :01:25.Competition organisers tell us they're considering closing the roof
:01:26. > :01:33.amid fears the stadium could be hit by a drone attack.
:01:34. > :01:38.And he was one half of the '70s entertainment duo Ryan and Ronnie.
:01:39. > :01:47.40 years after his death, how Ryan Davies is being remembered.
:01:48. > :01:51.It was the first campaign visit by a party leader hoping
:01:52. > :01:54.to be Prime Minister after the general election.
:01:55. > :01:57.Hundreds of Labour supporters have turned out in Cardiff to greet
:01:58. > :02:00.Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, who set out his agenda,
:02:01. > :02:03.which he described as a journey of hope and excitement.
:02:04. > :02:06.Mr Corbyn was in one of the constituencies Labour
:02:07. > :02:19.Here's our political correspondent Arwyn Jones.
:02:20. > :02:25.Whether he goes, supporters follow. Today has been no exception. They
:02:26. > :02:29.came to hear his message of wanting to raise everybody's living
:02:30. > :02:33.standards and to heap praise on what he calls successes of the Labour run
:02:34. > :02:38.Welsh Government. We are offering an economic policy that works for all,
:02:39. > :02:42.that invests for all and invest for the future. The government is
:02:43. > :02:47.determined to grow the economy and grow the opportunities for people.
:02:48. > :02:50.You were heaping praise on the Welsh Government, a Labour run Welsh
:02:51. > :02:54.Government, but that is a double-edged sword because there are
:02:55. > :02:59.successes but there are also problems, especially in education.
:03:00. > :03:04.They have had a ?9 billion cut in their budget from the UK Government,
:03:05. > :03:08.they need to make sure that children get free school meals, they have an
:03:09. > :03:13.investment programme. It is my great pleasure to introduce the leader of
:03:14. > :03:17.the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. Relationships between Jeremy Corbyn
:03:18. > :03:22.and the Labour leader in Wales are said to be cordial but nothing more.
:03:23. > :03:29.But for Jeremy Corbyn's supporters, they were happy with what they
:03:30. > :03:32.heard. What I heard was absolute ambition, solidarity, unification,
:03:33. > :03:37.reaching out to a majority of what people want and what they actually
:03:38. > :03:41.need. Everything he says is practical, policies that can be put
:03:42. > :03:45.into place. It is no surprise that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour decided to
:03:46. > :03:49.come to Cardiff North to launch their campaign in Wales. If the
:03:50. > :03:54.party is to have any chance of forming the next UK Government, this
:03:55. > :03:59.is exactly the kind of seat it needs to be taking from the Conservatives.
:04:00. > :04:03.For much of the past four decades, it has been held by the party in
:04:04. > :04:11.power. I really can't believe this has happened. Julie Morgan's win in
:04:12. > :04:16.1997 broke the Tory hold on the seat through the Thatcher and major
:04:17. > :04:22.years. She held it until 2010 when it was Russell back by the
:04:23. > :04:27.Conservatives by just 194 votes. So the Conservatives keep Cardiff
:04:28. > :04:31.North. The failure of Labour to win five years later and an increased
:04:32. > :04:35.Tory majority helps David Cameron back into Downing Street. John has
:04:36. > :04:39.run this furniture shop for decades and is a lifelong Tory supporter. If
:04:40. > :04:43.Jeremy Corbyn came in here, what would he have to do to convince you
:04:44. > :04:48.to back him? That's a very good question. He would have two really
:04:49. > :04:54.convince me a lot that the Labour Party are going to do what I want
:04:55. > :04:58.out of a government. The choice before the electorate is obviously
:04:59. > :05:02.hard-working Conservatives a length and breadth of Wales and the UK
:05:03. > :05:06.under the strong leadership of Theresa May and the Conservative
:05:07. > :05:07.team that has delivered record economic growth against the chaos
:05:08. > :05:23.and confusion of Jeremy Corbyn. This was Jeremy Corbyn's first visit
:05:24. > :05:27.to Wales since the election was called on Tuesday. Similar events
:05:28. > :05:30.have been organised across the UK over the next seven weeks. He'll be
:05:31. > :05:33.hoping for a warm reception on June the 8th.
:05:34. > :05:35.Arwyn, as you said, a warm welcome for Mr Corbyn,
:05:36. > :05:40.but it's not his core supporters he needs to convince.
:05:41. > :05:47.No, exactly, and make no bones about it, it will have been a good booster
:05:48. > :05:52.seat hundreds of his supporters turn out in Cardiff today but it's not
:05:53. > :05:55.enough for him to rely on the votes of Labour supporters. Take a place
:05:56. > :05:59.like Cardiff North, the Conservatives have got a majority of
:06:00. > :06:05.2000 votes. It is those voters they need to attract. And not just here
:06:06. > :06:10.in Cardiff but in places like dour and the Vale of Clwyd. It's not
:06:11. > :06:13.impossible for Labour to window seats back, despite what you might
:06:14. > :06:18.read in the opinion polls, because if you look at last year's Assembly
:06:19. > :06:22.elections, they managed to hold on there. People vote differently in
:06:23. > :06:26.Assembly elections than they do in general elections but that raises an
:06:27. > :06:30.interesting question, how does Labour in Wales play this? Do they
:06:31. > :06:33.revert to the election campaign they had last year which was so
:06:34. > :06:38.successful or do they throw all their bags into the Corbin back and
:06:39. > :06:42.hopefully that message will pay dividends across the UK. It will be
:06:43. > :06:45.an interesting way to see how that goes for them.
:06:46. > :06:48.A man from Caerphilly diagnosed with bowel cancer aged just 33 years
:06:49. > :06:51.old says he's determined to beat it and has urged people
:06:52. > :06:56.Last summer, Sam Gould led the campaign in Wales
:06:57. > :07:01.He's now campaigning to raise awareness of the disease,
:07:02. > :07:03.which is far more common in older people.
:07:04. > :07:21.A video made from his hospital bed which he hopes will save lives.
:07:22. > :07:25.After surgery, Mr Gould told me he put some of his symptoms down
:07:26. > :07:30.It took bleeding when he went to the toilet to get much worse
:07:31. > :07:37.When they got my biopsy results, they said, we need to operate
:07:38. > :07:40.on you as soon as possible, we've got no choice.
:07:41. > :07:48.My wife, my three young children, aged five, three and one,
:07:49. > :07:53.but for them, I want to live and beat this.
:07:54. > :07:57.For them, because I love them so much.
:07:58. > :08:02.I want to do everything I can to ensure that others can know
:08:03. > :08:06.the symptoms so that they don't wait until they are stage two,
:08:07. > :08:10.stage three or staged four, like me, to react to symptoms
:08:11. > :08:17.Every year in Wales, 2,200 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer.
:08:18. > :08:25.Across the UK, nine out of ten new cases are in the over 50s
:08:26. > :08:30.2,500 are diagnosed under the age of 50.
:08:31. > :08:33.The symptoms you should be aware of are bleeding from your bottom
:08:34. > :08:37.or blood in your urine, a change in bowel habits
:08:38. > :08:40.lasting three weeks or more, extreme tiredness,
:08:41. > :08:44.a loss of appetite or a pain or lump in your tummy.
:08:45. > :08:48.These symptoms are also the symptoms of many other common,
:08:49. > :08:51.less serious bowel conditions, but if you have any of the symptoms,
:08:52. > :08:53.it's really important that you see your GP straightaway
:08:54. > :09:00.We are all a bit embarrassed to talk about poo and going to the toilet
:09:01. > :09:04.but your GP isn't embarrassed about that
:09:05. > :09:11.Mr Gould faces more surgery or chemotherapy.
:09:12. > :09:16.Determined to fight his illness, determined too that others
:09:17. > :09:40.South Wales Police is appealing for information about the whereabouts
:09:41. > :09:47.Lance Kugel Craig Roberts from Conwy, Lance Corporal Edward Maher
:09:48. > :09:52.and Corporal James Dunsby died of heat exhaustion after taking part in
:09:53. > :09:54.the exercise on one of the hottest days of the year. The new report
:09:55. > :09:57.concludes similar incidents could happen in future.
:09:58. > :09:59.South Wales Police is appealing for information about the whereabouts
:10:00. > :10:02.of a Cardiff businessman who has escaped police custody in India.
:10:03. > :10:04.Mohammed Ali Ege was arrested there in connection with the murder
:10:05. > :10:07.of the Cardiff teenager Aamir Siddiqi seven years ago.
:10:08. > :10:10.He was awaiting extradition but escaped through a window
:10:11. > :10:18.A fire that resulted in the deaths of two men in Llanrwst could have
:10:19. > :10:20.The funeral has taken place of Sandie Bowen,
:10:21. > :10:22.whose remains were found earlier this year, nearly 20 years
:10:23. > :10:26.Mrs Bowen went missing from her home in Monmouthshire in 1997.
:10:27. > :10:28.Her husband, Michael Bowen, was convicted of her murder
:10:29. > :10:30.but he never revealed where he hid her body.
:10:31. > :10:36.Her remains were recovered from Wentwood Reservoir, near Newport.
:10:37. > :10:40.It's hosting the biggest sporting event in the world this year,
:10:41. > :10:44.the Champions League Final, and the roof of the Principality
:10:45. > :10:47.Stadium in Cardiff could be closed because of fears over
:10:48. > :10:52.Officials from European football's governing body, UEFA,
:10:53. > :10:55.have told this programme that the idea's being considered.
:10:56. > :10:58.Well, tonight, the trophy has made its way from Switzerland
:10:59. > :11:08.Tomos Dafydd has been travelling alongside it.
:11:09. > :11:15.On the banks of Lake Geneva, the historic town where you will find
:11:16. > :11:20.the headquarters of Uefa. Today a delegation of politicians and former
:11:21. > :11:24.players have arrived to take home the Champions League trophy to
:11:25. > :11:29.Wales. And with less than 50 days ahead of the event, security is the
:11:30. > :11:34.main priority. While today's semifinal draw occupy the minds of
:11:35. > :11:37.these former players, for the authorities, one concern is a
:11:38. > :11:41.potential attack from the skies. A drone armed with explosive flown
:11:42. > :11:45.into the stadium in Cardiff. Uefa told me the roof could be closed. An
:11:46. > :11:51.unprecedented move for a Champions League final. No decision has been
:11:52. > :11:56.made so far regarding specifically the roof. Any decision will need to
:11:57. > :12:01.be made will be made much closer to the match. But this is part of the
:12:02. > :12:09.assessment. No decision yet. Has it been discussed? Yes, it is in
:12:10. > :12:14.discussion. It is a possibility. Earlier this month the Borussia
:12:15. > :12:17.Dortmund team was attacked in a series of explosions. Uefa said
:12:18. > :12:22.security is always being reviewed and they are in constant contact
:12:23. > :12:26.with Welsh police. But they are confident the final will be safe.
:12:27. > :12:30.There is no specific threat of a drone attack but police have to
:12:31. > :12:33.consider all potential possibilities and around those possibilities there
:12:34. > :12:38.has been a discussion about whether the roof should be closed. Carwyn
:12:39. > :12:42.Jones was in Switzerland to be officially presented with the
:12:43. > :12:47.trophy. The countdown to Cardiff is approaching its climax. A big round
:12:48. > :12:53.of applause for the moment Cardiff get the Champions League trophy. And
:12:54. > :12:59.if Gareth Bale is to perform in his home city, is Real Madrid side will
:13:00. > :13:03.have to overcome Atletico Madrid in the semifinals. Juventus and Monaco
:13:04. > :13:08.the other teams hoping to make it to the Welsh capital. On the plane
:13:09. > :13:15.home, the trophy gets its own seat. Guarded by former Wales striker Ian
:13:16. > :13:22.rush. It will be amazing. We went so far in the euros in 2016 but this is
:13:23. > :13:26.another level. Wales, throughout the world, after this final, everyone
:13:27. > :13:32.will know about Wales as a super country. So the trophy is embarking
:13:33. > :13:36.on a 700 mile journey from Switzerland to Wales, where it will
:13:37. > :13:41.clog up many more miles before the final. The trophy will head west to
:13:42. > :13:45.Swansea tomorrow before visiting schools, football clubs and town
:13:46. > :13:50.centres right across Wales over the next three weeks. Giving fans the
:13:51. > :13:54.chance to glimpse club football's biggest prize. Touching down on
:13:55. > :14:00.Welsh soil, the trophy will stay here until the final. Before then,
:14:01. > :14:05.it is another photocall, this time Cardiff Castle, before a procession
:14:06. > :14:09.through the streets. The trophy taken to the stadium by players,
:14:10. > :14:17.coaches and grassroots volunteers. The Champions League final edging
:14:18. > :14:21.ever closer. You really get the sense that the
:14:22. > :14:25.final is fast approaching and displace will be called the National
:14:26. > :14:30.Stadium of Wales during the week of the final match for commercial
:14:31. > :14:36.reasons. We have got two druggies for you tonight, the men and women
:14:37. > :14:46.trophies. -- two trophies for you tonight. The women's final will take
:14:47. > :14:51.place at Cardiff City Stadium. They are confident more than 15,000
:14:52. > :14:56.tickets will be sold for that women's final. As for this place,
:14:57. > :15:00.the roof is shut tonight, will it be shut for the final? There is no
:15:01. > :15:05.specific intelligence to suggest an attack in Cardiff on the day but it
:15:06. > :15:10.is significant that organisers are even considering closing the roof
:15:11. > :15:13.for security reasons. It underlines the security planning that has been
:15:14. > :15:16.going on for many months ahead of this high profile event.
:15:17. > :15:21.Why this young woman is carrying a stone weighing half her body
:15:22. > :15:27.And Swansea City are fighting for Premier League survival tomorrow.
:15:28. > :15:36.They face relegation rivals Hull and the two sides have history.
:15:37. > :15:40.A 57-year-old woman from Carmarthenshire has been jailed
:15:41. > :15:43.for three years and nine months for stealing nearly ?1 million
:15:44. > :15:48.Susan Jones, who worked for CK's Supermarket Group,
:15:49. > :15:51.took the money after her family farm ran into financial difficulties.
:15:52. > :16:00.From Swansea Crown Court, Ben Price reports.
:16:01. > :16:07.She was the company secretary, interested with the business bank
:16:08. > :16:10.accounts. A trust she breached. Susan Jones spent two decades
:16:11. > :16:15.working for CK's Supermarket Group. The court heard she was regarded by
:16:16. > :16:23.her boss, Christopher Kiley, as a friend. Between 2009 and 2013, she
:16:24. > :16:26.stole ?955,000 from the company. That money was used to support her
:16:27. > :16:33.family farm and some of the money was paid agricultural suppliers. The
:16:34. > :16:37.court heard the farm, which had been in the Jones family for several
:16:38. > :16:42.years, had run into financial difficulty. The prosecution said
:16:43. > :16:45.Susan Jones made transactions from CK's Supermarket Group's account to
:16:46. > :16:50.pay the mortgage on the farm and the debt. Having discovered
:16:51. > :16:54.irregularities in the company's finances, Jones confessed to
:16:55. > :16:58.employer, but her boss allowed the mother of four to continue to work
:16:59. > :17:04.for the company as long as the money was repaid. Unable to do so, Susan
:17:05. > :17:08.Jones was arrested in 2015. We are very pleased that justice has been
:17:09. > :17:12.achieved in this matter and in relation to the losses suffered by
:17:13. > :17:17.the company. That will be further investigated as to the gathering of
:17:18. > :17:24.proceeds of those crimes from Susan Jones to try and repay the losses.
:17:25. > :17:27.The judge told Susan Jones he appreciated she had been a hard
:17:28. > :17:31.worker and contributed to the success of the company but he said
:17:32. > :17:36.she had been placed in a position of trust when she committed systematic
:17:37. > :17:39.theft. He said she stole a staggering amount of money and he
:17:40. > :17:42.jailed her for three years and nine months.
:17:43. > :17:46.A 26-year-old stonemason from Cardiff inspired by her love
:17:47. > :17:50.for the Orkney Island off the coast of Scotland is undertaking a rather
:17:51. > :17:53.unusual art project to mark the 900th anniversary
:17:54. > :17:59.Beatrice Searle from Cardiff has carved a stone which she'll carry
:18:00. > :18:03.on a 1,300 mile round trip from Orkney to Norway.
:18:04. > :18:07.In medieval times, similar stones were considered spiritual.
:18:08. > :18:10.Tomos Morgan has been to meet Beatrice on the first leg
:18:11. > :18:16.of her journey with her stone, named The Orkney Boat.
:18:17. > :18:20.A journey from Scotland to Scandinavia with its roots
:18:21. > :18:26.After being inspired by Orkney's rugged beauty,
:18:27. > :18:30.stonemason artist Beatrice Searle has carved an inauguration stone
:18:31. > :18:35.as these islands celebrate the 900th anniversary of their patron saint,
:18:36. > :18:40.They occur in pictured history and medieval history.
:18:41. > :18:44.Stones like these are associated with kingship so the chosen King
:18:45. > :18:47.would stand in the stones in order to signify his connection
:18:48. > :18:52.It's a 390 million-year-old ripple-marked Devonian siltstone,
:18:53. > :18:56.selected from Marwick Bay on the mainland, and its voyage
:18:57. > :19:02.We are seeing a huge mass migration and those people moving aren't
:19:03. > :19:06.always doing so by choice so being able to carry part
:19:07. > :19:10.of a beloved landscape takes on another kind
:19:11. > :19:16.As I do so, I will repeatedly stand in the Orkney boat and it
:19:17. > :19:19.will anchor me and I will invite the people I encounter to stand
:19:20. > :19:22.in it and to draw strength from their connection to it and add
:19:23. > :19:28.Beatrice's journey will continue along the north-western headland
:19:29. > :19:31.of Orkney's mainland, through the centre of the island
:19:32. > :19:34.towards the capital, the seaside town of Kirkwall.
:19:35. > :19:37.There she will travel across the North Sea by boat
:19:38. > :19:40.to Norway and then the longest leg of this journey begins.
:19:41. > :19:44.She travels all the way from Oslo to the northern town of Trondheim,
:19:45. > :19:48.following the historical pilgrim path.
:19:49. > :19:51.Norway chosen, of course, as part of this voyage
:19:52. > :19:59.On day one of this 1,300 mile journey, what do Orcadians think
:20:00. > :20:05.Anything we can do to add to Saint Magnus' history
:20:06. > :20:10.I feel a warmth coming up through the stone and that does
:20:11. > :20:16.At the moment just clean and refreshing.
:20:17. > :20:24.Beatrice says this voyage has been heavily influenced by her exposure
:20:25. > :20:28.to the Artes Mundi prize in Cardiff and the project has been made
:20:29. > :20:32.possible through an Arts Council grant and crowdfunding.
:20:33. > :20:43.At journey's end, the stone will be laid to rest
:20:44. > :20:48.in the Scottish northern isles, some time towards the end of summer.
:20:49. > :20:51.Quite a challenge. Good luck to her.
:20:52. > :20:53.Now for the sport. Kate's here.
:20:54. > :20:58.Let's start with football, and tomorrow afternoon
:20:59. > :21:01.Swansea City's players will take to the field against Stoke
:21:02. > :21:04.knowing their Premier League lives are hanging by a thread.
:21:05. > :21:07.The Swans are desperate to close the gap on relegation rivals Hull.
:21:08. > :21:09.As Claire Summers reports, the two sides have history.
:21:10. > :21:11.14 years ago, the Tigers played a huge part in Swansea's
:21:12. > :21:21.In May 2003, there was jubilation at The Vetch as they battled
:21:22. > :21:26.It was a game Swansea won 4-2 to ensure their
:21:27. > :21:31.14 years on, the clubs are locking horns again,

:25:00. > :25:04.Ronnie drove Welsh TV and theatre to new heights. Ryan Davies was the
:25:05. > :25:15.cheeky joker of the two. Ryan was just 40 years of age when
:25:16. > :25:23.he died on holiday in the USA after suffering an asthma attack. Now, to
:25:24. > :25:29.mark the 40th anniversary of his death, events will be held in an
:25:30. > :25:35.area where he spent a good amount of his childhood. His talent was first
:25:36. > :25:37.spotted while he was here. His primary school headmaster was the
:25:38. > :25:43.first person to recognise his talents. Ryan was originally from
:25:44. > :25:48.Carmarthenshire and at the age of ten he moved with his parents. His
:25:49. > :25:53.parents took over the running of the former workhouse which was then
:25:54. > :25:58.being run as a care home. It was here that Ryan showed his talent as
:25:59. > :26:06.an entertainer and honed his craft, often performing in front of the
:26:07. > :26:12.residents. He was always fun. They were always laughing in his class.
:26:13. > :26:17.He was keeping people going. One afternoon when the teachers didn't
:26:18. > :26:23.arrive, Ryan said, we'll do the talking, and the singing. We held
:26:24. > :26:34.the Sunday school. We were halfway through when the teachers arrived.
:26:35. > :26:41.Ryan played a number of characters. His skills were legendary. Lots of
:26:42. > :26:46.people are excellent and one thing and not too bad at a few other
:26:47. > :26:54.things. He was superb at everything. He could play the piano, the heart,
:26:55. > :27:05.he had a beautiful singing voice, he could compose, he could act.
:27:06. > :27:12.As well as a very gifted musician, his comedy crossed the boundaries of
:27:13. > :27:15.every age group and those talents will be celebrated this weekend.
:27:16. > :27:18.And there's a special programme dedicated to Ryan on BBC Radio Wales
:27:19. > :27:22.Time for the weather forecast now with Derek Brockway.
