:00:00. > :00:16.we are back with the late news at 10:00.

:00:17. > :00:21.Cardiff prepares for one of the world's biggest sporting events.

:00:22. > :00:26.Organisers of the Champions League final insist the city can cope.

:00:27. > :00:28.The Welsh surgeon who saved countless lives in Syria

:00:29. > :00:33.tells the Hay Festival of the "evil" he witnessed.

:00:34. > :00:37.And specialist language lessons for the refugee doctors and dentists

:00:38. > :00:48.Cardiff can cope with the 170,000 people

:00:49. > :00:50.expected to come into the city for the Champions League final.

:00:51. > :00:55.That's according to organisers, who say the capital will be

:00:56. > :00:59.at capacity when Juventus play Real Madrid on Saturday.

:01:00. > :01:07.It's taken almost a thousand days to plan for 170,000 people

:01:08. > :01:11.to arrive, enjoy and crucially leave the Welsh capital.

:01:12. > :01:16.It means providing extra accommodation, transport

:01:17. > :01:19.and security in one of the smallest cities to ever host

:01:20. > :01:24.When you look at cities the size of London and Berlin,

:01:25. > :01:27.lots of big footprints, and we have pretty much taken every

:01:28. > :01:32.So the size has been a challenge but it's also been an advantage

:01:33. > :01:34.because when people do come, they can walk around fairly easily

:01:35. > :01:38.and we think that will put Cardiff on the map and make it different

:01:39. > :01:44.South Wales Police say they've never planned for anything like this.

:01:45. > :01:47.As part of a huge security operation there will be road closures

:01:48. > :01:51.and disruption for both businesses and residents.

:01:52. > :01:54.But organisers say the city is used to hosting major sporting events

:01:55. > :01:58.and can deal with large crowds flooding the streets.

:01:59. > :02:01.In 2005 for the Grand Slam game they said there

:02:02. > :02:03.were about 250,000 people in the city.

:02:04. > :02:08.There will be the festival, there will be two fan meeting

:02:09. > :02:10.points each for the teens, lots of bars in Cardiff

:02:11. > :02:14.So we are confident the city can absorb that number.

:02:15. > :02:16.Alongside the final there is a four-day Champions League Festival

:02:17. > :02:22.One of the highlights will be a legends match where the world's

:02:23. > :02:24.best former footballers will play on this floating pitch.

:02:25. > :02:28.But there won't be an opportunity for fans to watch Juventus take

:02:29. > :02:34.The Festival shuts hours before the final kicks off.

:02:35. > :02:37.We would have loved to have been able to put on a public screening

:02:38. > :02:40.but the problem we face is the city is already going to be at capacity

:02:41. > :02:44.and if we put a free of charge public screening on in the city,

:02:45. > :02:46.particularly now that it's Real Madrid and Gareth Bale,

:02:47. > :02:49.we would have so many people coming in from the local areas the city

:02:50. > :02:54.Is Cardiff going to be maxed out anyway?

:02:55. > :02:58.It's not very often that Real Madrid and Juventus play in Cardiff.

:02:59. > :03:01.If you are a local person and you like sport we expect

:03:02. > :03:07.The best footballers in the world are on our doorstep and these

:03:08. > :03:09.opportunities don't come around very often.

:03:10. > :03:11.So people shouldn't be complacent and think we'll see them next time.

:03:12. > :03:14.Who knows, there may not be a next time.

:03:15. > :03:21.Fire crews in Swansea hope to bring a large blaze at a recycling unit

:03:22. > :03:23.in Fforestfach under control this evening.

:03:24. > :03:27.There were more than 70 firefighters tackling the fire earlier.

:03:28. > :03:30.Thick smoke affected some train services

:03:31. > :03:39.I could hear the bangs and that but I obviously

:03:40. > :03:46.It was dark then so you couldn't see smoke but you could smell it.

:03:47. > :03:49.Armed police officers are on duty at the Urdd National Eisteddfod

:03:50. > :03:54.The increased security measures are in response to last week's

:03:55. > :03:59.Extra security officers are also conducting bag searches.

:04:00. > :04:02.It's expected over 100,000 visitors and competitors will attend

:04:03. > :04:05.the Welsh language youth festival this week.

:04:06. > :04:07.A Welsh surgeon who saved countless lives in Syria

:04:08. > :04:09.has been recalling the "evil" acts he's witnessed there.

:04:10. > :04:15.has been operating in conflict zones for more than 20 years.

:04:16. > :04:17.He's been speaking to Huw Thomas at the Hay Festival,

:04:18. > :04:27.where he delivered the BBC's annual Patrick Hannan Lecture.

:04:28. > :04:35.In Syria the mission for David Nott is professional and personal. The

:04:36. > :04:42.victims, so often the innocent and the young. An air strike killed this

:04:43. > :04:48.little girl 's parents. He worked hard to save her life. Oh my

:04:49. > :04:52.goodness me. Later he was reunited with their butt so many others have

:04:53. > :04:56.died including Syrian doctors who worked with him. In his lecture this

:04:57. > :05:01.evening he condemned the bombing of hospitals and the targeting of

:05:02. > :05:06.civilians. What we are seeing now is evil because of sin is something you

:05:07. > :05:11.can be a morsel about that evil is something you perpetrate and you

:05:12. > :05:16.know it's wrong and you continue to do it. That is the difference

:05:17. > :05:19.between sin and evil. David Nott has trained local doctors and works

:05:20. > :05:23.tirelessly to promote the plight of the people he has tried to help. At

:05:24. > :05:30.the attack in Manchester has brought it home and the techniques he has

:05:31. > :05:35.used on the battlefield have been employed in British hospitals. There

:05:36. > :05:44.are core skills which all the surgeons have. Nowadays of course we

:05:45. > :05:48.never saw the effects of bomb blasts in this country before and now we're

:05:49. > :05:53.adding that to our training regime and a teaching surgeons how to deal

:05:54. > :06:03.with horrific ones. He told me he will return to Syria and wherever

:06:04. > :06:06.else his skills are needed. To help others, the innocent victims of the

:06:07. > :06:09.world's cruellest conflicts. You can hear David Nott's

:06:10. > :06:10.Patrick Hannan lecture A course run by a Cardiff based

:06:11. > :06:16.charity is coaching doctors and dentists who are refugees

:06:17. > :06:18.and asylum seekers through specialist English exams so they can

:06:19. > :06:22.be employed by the NHS here. It's thought the programme

:06:23. > :06:26.by 'Displaced People in Action' has saved the health service ?20 million

:06:27. > :06:30.across the UK. It's just a training room

:06:31. > :06:36.in Cardiff Bay but through these doors have come children's doctors,

:06:37. > :06:41.brain surgeons, specialists, talented medical

:06:42. > :06:45.staff key to the NHS. What brings these people together

:06:46. > :06:49.is that they are all Professionals in their own country

:06:50. > :06:54.determined to qualify To do that they will be tested

:06:55. > :07:00.on their reading, writing, Not an easy feat when you are

:07:01. > :07:06.talking about complex science. One of them was in Aleppo just

:07:07. > :07:09.a month ago having graduated Another left Libya in 2014

:07:10. > :07:14.and wants to continue I'm working for my

:07:15. > :07:22.children's future. It's different to have a mum

:07:23. > :07:25.who just stays at home and does the cooking and prepares

:07:26. > :07:26.everything for them. I want them to see their mum

:07:27. > :07:33.fighting to get to her target. So I think I have to put some work

:07:34. > :07:42.into this to achieve my This pioneering scheme was set up

:07:43. > :07:52.by Displaced People In Action alongside the body responsible

:07:53. > :07:54.for training doctors here and with initial funding

:07:55. > :07:57.from the Welsh Government, 87 doctors have now been registered

:07:58. > :08:01.with the General medical Council Of those, 12 are GPs,

:08:02. > :08:08.two are consultants and 67 There are shortages in certain

:08:09. > :08:14.specialties and if you think that we can have a qualified doctor

:08:15. > :08:18.through the scheme within sometimes one to two years at absolutely

:08:19. > :08:22.minimal cost, whereas to put somebody through medical school

:08:23. > :08:26.and training you are looking at about a quarter of a million

:08:27. > :08:30.pounds, that is a huge difference. This doctor from Kuwait came

:08:31. > :08:33.to the UK seeking asylum in 2014. Now doing a placement

:08:34. > :08:37.in psychiatrics in Cardiff, he came here because of what the Welsh

:08:38. > :08:43.scheme could offer. After passing all the exams

:08:44. > :08:45.and getting registered it's very Also it's very difficult to find

:08:46. > :08:51.the references required for the job. So by providing this opportunity

:08:52. > :08:54.for me and other refugee doctors we were able to find references,

:08:55. > :08:58.we were able to refresh our skills These doctors can use their own

:08:59. > :09:09.language and culture to benefit patients and it also means they can

:09:10. > :09:12.become professionals again Cricket and Glamorgan

:09:13. > :09:19.have secured their first County Championship win

:09:20. > :09:22.of the season in dramatic fashion. They've beaten Durham

:09:23. > :09:25.by three wickets with just three balls

:09:26. > :09:27.to spare at St Helen's in Swansea. The visitors declared

:09:28. > :09:30.on 276 for seven, but Nick Selman proved

:09:31. > :09:33.to be the hero, helping Glamorgan reach the target

:09:34. > :09:35.with an unbeaten 116, which included two sixes

:09:36. > :09:37.in the last over. Let's get the weather forecast now.

:09:38. > :09:46.Here's Behnaz. It has been a pretty cloudy bank

:10:30. > :10:34.things down. First thing tomorrow the odd shower, some sunshine and
