Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hundreds of Labour supporters turn out to welcome leader Jeremy Corbyn. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
He set out his agenda for the general election | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
We are offering justice across the country, we are offering | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
housing opportunities to people, we are offering education | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
opportunities, we are offering an economic policy that works | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
for all, invests for all and invests for the future. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Cardiff North is one of the main battlegrounds in this election. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Jeremy Crobyn needs to win in places like this if he's to become | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Sam Gould has been diagnosed with bowel cancer aged just 33. | :00:30. | :00:47. | |
Now he's fighting to raise awareness of the symptoms | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
My three young children, aged five, three and one, for them I want to | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
live and beat this, for them, because I love them so much. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
A million pound supermarket swindle - the company secretary is jailed. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Bringing the Champions League trophy to Cardiff, but ahead of June's | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Competition organisers tell us they're considering closing the roof | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
amid fears the stadium could be hit by a drone attack. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
And he was one half of the '70s entertainment duo Ryan and Ronnie. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
40 years after his death, how Ryan Davies is being remembered. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
It was the first campaign visit by a party leader hoping | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
to be Prime Minister after the general election. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Hundreds of Labour supporters have turned out in Cardiff to greet | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, who set out his agenda, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
which he described as a journey of hope and excitement. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Mr Corbyn was in one of the constituencies Labour | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Here's our political correspondent Arwyn Jones. | :02:07. | :02:19. | |
Whether he goes, supporters follow. Today has been no exception. They | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
came to hear his message of wanting to raise everybody's living | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
standards and to heap praise on what he calls successes of the Labour run | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Welsh Government. We are offering an economic policy that works for all, | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
that invests for all and invest for the future. The government is | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
determined to grow the economy and grow the opportunities for people. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
You were heaping praise on the Welsh Government, a Labour run Welsh | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Government, but that is a double-edged sword because there are | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
successes but there are also problems, especially in education. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
They have had a ?9 billion cut in their budget from the UK Government, | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
they need to make sure that children get free school meals, they have an | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
investment programme. It is my great pleasure to introduce the leader of | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. Relationships between Jeremy Corbyn | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
and the Labour leader in Wales are said to be cordial but nothing more. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
But for Jeremy Corbyn's supporters, they were happy with what they | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
heard. What I heard was absolute ambition, solidarity, unification, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
reaching out to a majority of what people want and what they actually | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
need. Everything he says is practical, policies that can be put | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
into place. It is no surprise that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour decided to | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
come to Cardiff North to launch their campaign in Wales. If the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
party is to have any chance of forming the next UK Government, this | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
is exactly the kind of seat it needs to be taking from the Conservatives. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
For much of the past four decades, it has been held by the party in | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
power. I really can't believe this has happened. Julie Morgan's win in | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
1997 broke the Tory hold on the seat through the Thatcher and major | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
years. She held it until 2010 when it was Russell back by the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Conservatives by just 194 votes. So the Conservatives keep Cardiff | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
North. The failure of Labour to win five years later and an increased | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Tory majority helps David Cameron back into Downing Street. John has | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
run this furniture shop for decades and is a lifelong Tory supporter. If | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Jeremy Corbyn came in here, what would he have to do to convince you | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
to back him? That's a very good question. He would have two really | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
convince me a lot that the Labour Party are going to do what I want | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
out of a government. The choice before the electorate is obviously | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
hard-working Conservatives a length and breadth of Wales and the UK | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
under the strong leadership of Theresa May and the Conservative | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
team that has delivered record economic growth against the chaos | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
and confusion of Jeremy Corbyn. This was Jeremy Corbyn's first visit | :05:08. | :05:23. | |
to Wales since the election was called on Tuesday. Similar events | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
have been organised across the UK over the next seven weeks. He'll be | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
hoping for a warm reception on June the 8th. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Arwyn, as you said, a warm welcome for Mr Corbyn, | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
but it's not his core supporters he needs to convince. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
No, exactly, and make no bones about it, it will have been a good booster | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
seat hundreds of his supporters turn out in Cardiff today but it's not | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
enough for him to rely on the votes of Labour supporters. Take a place | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
like Cardiff North, the Conservatives have got a majority of | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
2000 votes. It is those voters they need to attract. And not just here | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
in Cardiff but in places like dour and the Vale of Clwyd. It's not | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
impossible for Labour to window seats back, despite what you might | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
read in the opinion polls, because if you look at last year's Assembly | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
elections, they managed to hold on there. People vote differently in | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Assembly elections than they do in general elections but that raises an | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
interesting question, how does Labour in Wales play this? Do they | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
revert to the election campaign they had last year which was so | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
successful or do they throw all their bags into the Corbin back and | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
hopefully that message will pay dividends across the UK. It will be | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
an interesting way to see how that goes for them. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
A man from Caerphilly diagnosed with bowel cancer aged just 33 years | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
old says he's determined to beat it and has urged people | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Last summer, Sam Gould led the campaign in Wales | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
He's now campaigning to raise awareness of the disease, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
which is far more common in older people. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
A video made from his hospital bed which he hopes will save lives. | :07:04. | :07:21. | |
After surgery, Mr Gould told me he put some of his symptoms down | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
It took bleeding when he went to the toilet to get much worse | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
When they got my biopsy results, they said, we need to operate | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
on you as soon as possible, we've got no choice. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
My wife, my three young children, aged five, three and one, | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
but for them, I want to live and beat this. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
For them, because I love them so much. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
I want to do everything I can to ensure that others can know | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
the symptoms so that they don't wait until they are stage two, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
stage three or staged four, like me, to react to symptoms | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Every year in Wales, 2,200 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer. | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
Across the UK, nine out of ten new cases are in the over 50s | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
2,500 are diagnosed under the age of 50. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
The symptoms you should be aware of are bleeding from your bottom | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
or blood in your urine, a change in bowel habits | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
lasting three weeks or more, extreme tiredness, | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
a loss of appetite or a pain or lump in your tummy. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
These symptoms are also the symptoms of many other common, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
less serious bowel conditions, but if you have any of the symptoms, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
it's really important that you see your GP straightaway | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
We are all a bit embarrassed to talk about poo and going to the toilet | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
but your GP isn't embarrassed about that | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Mr Gould faces more surgery or chemotherapy. | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
Determined to fight his illness, determined too that others | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
South Wales Police is appealing for information about the whereabouts | :09:17. | :09:40. | |
Lance Kugel Craig Roberts from Conwy, Lance Corporal Edward Maher | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
and Corporal James Dunsby died of heat exhaustion after taking part in | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
the exercise on one of the hottest days of the year. The new report | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
concludes similar incidents could happen in future. | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
South Wales Police is appealing for information about the whereabouts | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
of a Cardiff businessman who has escaped police custody in India. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Mohammed Ali Ege was arrested there in connection with the murder | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
of the Cardiff teenager Aamir Siddiqi seven years ago. | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
He was awaiting extradition but escaped through a window | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
A fire that resulted in the deaths of two men in Llanrwst could have | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
The funeral has taken place of Sandie Bowen, | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
whose remains were found earlier this year, nearly 20 years | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Mrs Bowen went missing from her home in Monmouthshire in 1997. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Her husband, Michael Bowen, was convicted of her murder | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
but he never revealed where he hid her body. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Her remains were recovered from Wentwood Reservoir, near Newport. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
It's hosting the biggest sporting event in the world this year, | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
the Champions League Final, and the roof of the Principality | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Stadium in Cardiff could be closed because of fears over | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Officials from European football's governing body, UEFA, | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
have told this programme that the idea's being considered. | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Well, tonight, the trophy has made its way from Switzerland | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Tomos Dafydd has been travelling alongside it. | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
On the banks of Lake Geneva, the historic town where you will find | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
the headquarters of Uefa. Today a delegation of politicians and former | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
players have arrived to take home the Champions League trophy to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Wales. And with less than 50 days ahead of the event, security is the | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
main priority. While today's semifinal draw occupy the minds of | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
these former players, for the authorities, one concern is a | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
potential attack from the skies. A drone armed with explosive flown | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
into the stadium in Cardiff. Uefa told me the roof could be closed. An | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
unprecedented move for a Champions League final. No decision has been | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
made so far regarding specifically the roof. Any decision will need to | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
be made will be made much closer to the match. But this is part of the | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
assessment. No decision yet. Has it been discussed? Yes, it is in | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
discussion. It is a possibility. Earlier this month the Borussia | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Dortmund team was attacked in a series of explosions. Uefa said | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
security is always being reviewed and they are in constant contact | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
with Welsh police. But they are confident the final will be safe. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
There is no specific threat of a drone attack but police have to | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
consider all potential possibilities and around those possibilities there | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
has been a discussion about whether the roof should be closed. Carwyn | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Jones was in Switzerland to be officially presented with the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
trophy. The countdown to Cardiff is approaching its climax. A big round | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
of applause for the moment Cardiff get the Champions League trophy. And | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
if Gareth Bale is to perform in his home city, is Real Madrid side will | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
have to overcome Atletico Madrid in the semifinals. Juventus and Monaco | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
the other teams hoping to make it to the Welsh capital. On the plane | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
home, the trophy gets its own seat. Guarded by former Wales striker Ian | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
rush. It will be amazing. We went so far in the euros in 2016 but this is | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
another level. Wales, throughout the world, after this final, everyone | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
will know about Wales as a super country. So the trophy is embarking | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
on a 700 mile journey from Switzerland to Wales, where it will | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
clog up many more miles before the final. The trophy will head west to | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
Swansea tomorrow before visiting schools, football clubs and town | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
centres right across Wales over the next three weeks. Giving fans the | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
chance to glimpse club football's biggest prize. Touching down on | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Welsh soil, the trophy will stay here until the final. Before then, | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
it is another photocall, this time Cardiff Castle, before a procession | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
through the streets. The trophy taken to the stadium by players, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
coaches and grassroots volunteers. The Champions League final edging | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
ever closer. You really get the sense that the | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
final is fast approaching and displace will be called the National | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Stadium of Wales during the week of the final match for commercial | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
reasons. We have got two druggies for you tonight, the men and women | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
trophies. -- two trophies for you tonight. The women's final will take | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
place at Cardiff City Stadium. They are confident more than 15,000 | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
tickets will be sold for that women's final. As for this place, | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
the roof is shut tonight, will it be shut for the final? There is no | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
specific intelligence to suggest an attack in Cardiff on the day but it | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
is significant that organisers are even considering closing the roof | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
for security reasons. It underlines the security planning that has been | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
going on for many months ahead of this high profile event. | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Why this young woman is carrying a stone weighing half her body | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
And Swansea City are fighting for Premier League survival tomorrow. | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
They face relegation rivals Hull and the two sides have history. | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
A 57-year-old woman from Carmarthenshire has been jailed | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
for three years and nine months for stealing nearly ?1 million | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Susan Jones, who worked for CK's Supermarket Group, | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
took the money after her family farm ran into financial difficulties. | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
From Swansea Crown Court, Ben Price reports. | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
She was the company secretary, interested with the business bank | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
accounts. A trust she breached. Susan Jones spent two decades | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
working for CK's Supermarket Group. The court heard she was regarded by | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
her boss, Christopher Kiley, as a friend. Between 2009 and 2013, she | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
stole ?955,000 from the company. That money was used to support her | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
family farm and some of the money was paid agricultural suppliers. The | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
court heard the farm, which had been in the Jones family for several | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
years, had run into financial difficulty. The prosecution said | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Susan Jones made transactions from CK's Supermarket Group's account to | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
pay the mortgage on the farm and the debt. Having discovered | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
irregularities in the company's finances, Jones confessed to | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
employer, but her boss allowed the mother of four to continue to work | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
for the company as long as the money was repaid. Unable to do so, Susan | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Jones was arrested in 2015. We are very pleased that justice has been | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
achieved in this matter and in relation to the losses suffered by | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
the company. That will be further investigated as to the gathering of | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
proceeds of those crimes from Susan Jones to try and repay the losses. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
The judge told Susan Jones he appreciated she had been a hard | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
worker and contributed to the success of the company but he said | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
she had been placed in a position of trust when she committed systematic | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
theft. He said she stole a staggering amount of money and he | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
jailed her for three years and nine months. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
A 26-year-old stonemason from Cardiff inspired by her love | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
for the Orkney Island off the coast of Scotland is undertaking a rather | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
unusual art project to mark the 900th anniversary | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Beatrice Searle from Cardiff has carved a stone which she'll carry | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
on a 1,300 mile round trip from Orkney to Norway. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
In medieval times, similar stones were considered spiritual. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Tomos Morgan has been to meet Beatrice on the first leg | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
of her journey with her stone, named The Orkney Boat. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
A journey from Scotland to Scandinavia with its roots | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
After being inspired by Orkney's rugged beauty, | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
stonemason artist Beatrice Searle has carved an inauguration stone | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
as these islands celebrate the 900th anniversary of their patron saint, | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
They occur in pictured history and medieval history. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Stones like these are associated with kingship so the chosen King | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
would stand in the stones in order to signify his connection | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
It's a 390 million-year-old ripple-marked Devonian siltstone, | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
selected from Marwick Bay on the mainland, and its voyage | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
We are seeing a huge mass migration and those people moving aren't | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
always doing so by choice so being able to carry part | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
of a beloved landscape takes on another kind | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
As I do so, I will repeatedly stand in the Orkney boat and it | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
will anchor me and I will invite the people I encounter to stand | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
in it and to draw strength from their connection to it and add | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Beatrice's journey will continue along the north-western headland | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
of Orkney's mainland, through the centre of the island | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
towards the capital, the seaside town of Kirkwall. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
There she will travel across the North Sea by boat | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
to Norway and then the longest leg of this journey begins. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
She travels all the way from Oslo to the northern town of Trondheim, | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
following the historical pilgrim path. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Norway chosen, of course, as part of this voyage | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
On day one of this 1,300 mile journey, what do Orcadians think | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
Anything we can do to add to Saint Magnus' history | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
I feel a warmth coming up through the stone and that does | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
At the moment just clean and refreshing. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Beatrice says this voyage has been heavily influenced by her exposure | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
to the Artes Mundi prize in Cardiff and the project has been made | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
possible through an Arts Council grant and crowdfunding. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
At journey's end, the stone will be laid to rest | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
in the Scottish northern isles, some time towards the end of summer. | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
Quite a challenge. Good luck to her. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Now for the sport. Kate's here. | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Let's start with football, and tomorrow afternoon | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Swansea City's players will take to the field against Stoke | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
knowing their Premier League lives are hanging by a thread. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
The Swans are desperate to close the gap on relegation rivals Hull. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
As Claire Summers reports, the two sides have history. | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
14 years ago, the Tigers played a huge part in Swansea's | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
In May 2003, there was jubilation at The Vetch as they battled | :21:12. | :21:21. | |
It was a game Swansea won 4-2 to ensure their | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
14 years on, the clubs are locking horns again, | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
but this time there is even more at stake. | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
I don't believe that the players are not trying and don't understand | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
the situation that we are in and how important this is for the club, | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
We understand all those responsibilities. | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
I have seen them battling and going at it hammer and tongs | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
They know how important this game is. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
I think if I had seen something different in training | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
in terms of mood, flat, lack of belief, I would be | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Swansea City are facing their biggest challenge yet | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
And as things stand, it is advantage Hull, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
who have a precious two point lead with just five games to go. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Swansea need to take points from Stoke tomorrow | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
because he doesn't think Hull will slip up at home to Watford. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
It is out of our hands because if we win all our remaining | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
five games, which is a big task, and Hull did the same, | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
The fact that Hull are at home to Watford, a game I believe | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
Momentum is everything going into the remaining fixtures. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
The Swans have not won in five, Hull have lost their last two, | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
but have five wins out of six at home. | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
Both teams have to play bottom club Sunderland, | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Swansea face West Brom on the final day and Hull's home record will be | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
There is a defining few weeks ahead as Swansea City look | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
to rediscover their spark and claw the Tigers back. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Staying with football, and tomorrow Cardiff City face | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
relegation strugglers Wigan away in the Championship. | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
In League Two, Newport County are in their own fight for survival | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
as they take on Accrington Stanley at Rodney Parade. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
While Wrexham will be hoping to build on their first win in eight | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
games with another over Dagenham and Redbridge in | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas has won the Tour of the Alps, | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
becoming the first British rider to do so. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
Thomas, who went into the final stage with a lead, claimed | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the title by seven seconds after finishing third today. | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
It's his first major win of the year. | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
And there was success too at the British Swimming Championships | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
with Wales' third gold medal, courtesy of Dan Jervis from Swansea. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
The 20-year-old, who works as a painter and decorator | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
It adds to the two golds won by Georgia Davies in the 100m | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
backstroke and Jazz Carlin in the 800m freestyle. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Cricket, and on the 1st day of their County Championship match | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
against Leicestershire, Glamorgan elected to field first. | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
And that's your sport for tonight, Lucy. | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
He was often described as the most versatile entertainer Wales has ever | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
known and this weekend events are being held in Llanfyllin | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
in Powys to celebrate the life and works of comedian Ryan Davies. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
Tomorrow marks 40 years since he died, when he was just 40 years old. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
He was best known for his partnership with Ronnie Williams | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
and the TV programme Ryan and Ronnie. | :24:41. | :24:41. | |
Emerging in the late 1960s, the Welsh Morecambe and Wise, Ryan and | :24:42. | :24:59. | |
Ronnie drove Welsh TV and theatre to new heights. Ryan Davies was the | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
cheeky joker of the two. Ryan was just 40 years of age when | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
he died on holiday in the USA after suffering an asthma attack. Now, to | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
mark the 40th anniversary of his death, events will be held in an | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
area where he spent a good amount of his childhood. His talent was first | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
spotted while he was here. His primary school headmaster was the | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
first person to recognise his talents. Ryan was originally from | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
Carmarthenshire and at the age of ten he moved with his parents. His | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
parents took over the running of the former workhouse which was then | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
being run as a care home. It was here that Ryan showed his talent as | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
an entertainer and honed his craft, often performing in front of the | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
residents. He was always fun. They were always laughing in his class. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
He was keeping people going. One afternoon when the teachers didn't | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
arrive, Ryan said, we'll do the talking, and the singing. We held | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
the Sunday school. We were halfway through when the teachers arrived. | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
Ryan played a number of characters. His skills were legendary. Lots of | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
people are excellent and one thing and not too bad at a few other | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
things. He was superb at everything. He could play the piano, the heart, | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
he had a beautiful singing voice, he could compose, he could act. | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
As well as a very gifted musician, his comedy crossed the boundaries of | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
every age group and those talents will be celebrated this weekend. | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
And there's a special programme dedicated to Ryan on BBC Radio Wales | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
Time for the weather forecast now with Derek Brockway. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Well, there's a cold snap on the way next week. | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
It is going to turn colder with hail and snow in places. | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
But before then, it looks like we're in for a tidy weekend. | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
This evening dry but thicker cloud will spread from the north overnight | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
The south dry with gaps in the cloud. | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
Lowest temperatures of 6 to 10 Celsius. | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
Here's the picture for 8am in the morning. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
Thick enough for the odd spot of rain but no more than that. | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
The best of the sunshine in the north and west in the afternoon. | :27:49. | :28:02. | |
Cooler and fresher in the north and west. | :28:03. | :28:12. | |
A chill in the air on the north coast tomorrow. | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
Fine tomorrow evening and dry overnight. | :28:16. | :28:29. | |
Elsewhere clearer and colder with a widespread ground frost. | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
So a chilly start on Sunday but a decent day. | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
Dry with a mix of clouds and some sunshine. | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
Top temperatures of 11 to 15 Celsius with light winds. | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
On Monday a cold front will move south bringing a little rain. | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
Those winds will bring a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
Some of the showers heavy and wintry. | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
Anywhere could see a few flakes of snow. | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
We'll have quick update at 8pm and more after the BBC News at Ten. | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
For now, from all of us on the programme, | :29:10. | :29:13. |
