0:00:02 > 0:00:06Hello and welcome to Wales Today. Our headlines tonight:
0:00:06 > 0:00:10The family of the late Labour Minister, Carl Sargeant,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14say he was denied "natural justice" after being sacked
0:00:14 > 0:00:19following allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21This can't happen to anyone else.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Whatever the allegations, whatever the nature,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26we really need to learn lessons from this.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Tonight, the Labour Party says it followed procedure
0:00:29 > 0:00:31but there are questions over how the First Minster
0:00:31 > 0:00:33handled the dismissal.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Also tonight, serious failings at the mortuary
0:00:50 > 0:00:52of Wales' biggest hospital.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55An apology to the families of people whose tissue samples were kept
0:00:55 > 0:00:58longer than allowed.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Arts and crafts over a coffee - these stroke survivors meet
0:01:01 > 0:01:04regularly but experts say more groups like it are needed
0:01:04 > 0:01:07to offer better support.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And he was a player at Glamorgan for 20 years,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13now Matthew Maynard returns in a coaching role.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Good evening.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The family of the sacked Welsh Government Minister
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Carl Sargeant says he was deprived of natural justice because he had
0:01:25 > 0:01:29not been able to defend himself against unspecified allegations.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Mr Sargeant is thought to have taken his own life yesterday
0:01:32 > 0:01:36after facing accusations which included inappropriate
0:01:36 > 0:01:38touching or groping by a number of women.
0:01:38 > 0:01:48More from our political editor Nick Servini.
0:01:48 > 0:01:5224 hours after his death, the family of Carl Sargeant has hit out at
0:01:52 > 0:01:56their handling of the sacking of the Welsh Government minister. A series
0:01:56 > 0:02:01of letters between his solicitor and the UK Labour Party's head of
0:02:01 > 0:02:04disputes has revealed the mental turmoil behind-the-scenes facing
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Carl Sargeant up to the point his body was found on Tuesday at his
0:02:09 > 0:02:12home after apparently taking his own life. One letter from his solicitor
0:02:12 > 0:02:18showed that the former minister knew the allegations involve unwanted
0:02:18 > 0:02:22attention, inappropriate touching or grouping. But he was pushing for
0:02:22 > 0:02:26further details. A statement from his family said it wanted to put
0:02:26 > 0:02:30them into the public domain in the light of the continued unwillingness
0:02:30 > 0:02:33to clarify the nature of the allegations made against him. It
0:02:33 > 0:02:38went on to say that up to the point of his tragic death on Tuesday
0:02:38 > 0:02:43morning, he was not informed of any of the detail of the allegations
0:02:43 > 0:02:46against him, despite requests and warnings regarding his mental
0:02:46 > 0:02:51welfare. The family wish to disclose the fact that he maintained his
0:02:51 > 0:02:55innocence and he categorically denied any wrongdoing. It went on to
0:02:55 > 0:02:58say that the distress of not being able to defend himself properly
0:02:58 > 0:03:04against these unspecified allegations meant he was not
0:03:04 > 0:03:09afforded common courtesy, decency or natural justice. His solicitor also
0:03:09 > 0:03:13accuses the First Minister of prejudicing the enquiry with his
0:03:13 > 0:03:16media appearances on Monday in which he said he had no choice but to
0:03:16 > 0:03:20refer the matter to the party to be investigated. Privately there has
0:03:20 > 0:03:24been anger among some within the party. Publicly there has been more
0:03:24 > 0:03:30measured concern.This can't happen to anyone else, whatever the
0:03:30 > 0:03:33allegations, whatever the nature, we really need to learn lessons from
0:03:33 > 0:03:38this on how we actually support people, look after people. Politics
0:03:38 > 0:03:44is a rough and difficult game but it should not end in this way. If the
0:03:44 > 0:03:52procedure is, I have heard that the procedure is followed, maybe we need
0:03:52 > 0:03:56to look at the procedure because something has gone badly wrong.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Carwyn Jones attended the opening of the Welsh National Field of
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Remembrance this morning. In a statement tonight he said this was a
0:04:04 > 0:04:08difficult time for everybody, particularly for Carl Sargeant's
0:04:08 > 0:04:12family. He said that like everyone in the Welsh Labour family, he is
0:04:12 > 0:04:16deeply upset by the death of his friend. In the meantime the pressure
0:04:16 > 0:04:20continues to mount. One Conservative called on him to resign for the
0:04:20 > 0:04:25first time today.We should never have got to this. It has been
0:04:25 > 0:04:28handled particularly badly, certainly in the statement on the
0:04:28 > 0:04:32news by the First Minister on Monday night. The First Minister has some
0:04:32 > 0:04:35form of responsibility and I am calling for him to consider his
0:04:35 > 0:04:44position and resign.The shock and grief following Carl Sargeant's
0:04:44 > 0:04:48death is still very raw. A book of condolence has been opened for his
0:04:48 > 0:04:50colleagues and friends to record their memories.He brought such a
0:04:50 > 0:04:55fresh, new outlook. I am wearing my white ribbon because he was
0:04:55 > 0:04:59passionate about tackling violence against women and he gave himself to
0:04:59 > 0:05:04this whole Assembly. He was widely respected, he had a huge sense of
0:05:04 > 0:05:09humour but he drove to some very important legislation in terms of
0:05:09 > 0:05:14housing. I remember him visiting my constituency in Barry and relating
0:05:14 > 0:05:18to people and he was so widely admired.All eyes will now be on a
0:05:18 > 0:05:22crunch meeting of Labour Assembly Members tomorrow, their first
0:05:22 > 0:05:26opportunity to discuss the tragic events of the past week.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Nick, what are the latest developments?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Well, fast paced developments over the past 36 hours. The most
0:05:36 > 0:05:40significant is the release of those documents from the family because it
0:05:40 > 0:05:43tells us how unhappy they are with the situation and paints a picture
0:05:43 > 0:05:47of what was going on behind-the-scenes. We now know that
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Carl Sargeant broadly knew the rough area of the allegations against him,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55which related to unwanted attention, inappropriate touching or grouping.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01But he wanted more details so that he could be in a position to defend
0:06:01 > 0:06:04himself. He would have got those details in time from the Labour
0:06:04 > 0:06:10Party ahead of an official hearing that was pencilled in in January. In
0:06:10 > 0:06:15the meantime, he felt exposed. Labour will have its rules that it
0:06:15 > 0:06:18follows under these circumstances but increasingly it will come down
0:06:18 > 0:06:22to what we call Pastoral care. Who was looking out for Carl Sargeant
0:06:22 > 0:06:27within the party? His lawyers are saying there was no formal
0:06:27 > 0:06:32assistance. The sense within the documents, words like anxiety,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36mental well-being and distress. His friends talk about how devastated he
0:06:36 > 0:06:41was. He was a big bruiser of a politician but a sense of a
0:06:41 > 0:06:46venerable individual in the past few days. And to add fuel to the fire
0:06:46 > 0:06:50tonight, if you could call it that, Leighton Andrews has said that there
0:06:50 > 0:06:59was a deliberate undermining of Leighton Andrews by the Labour
0:06:59 > 0:07:07government.So the next few days will be critical.Carwyn Jones will
0:07:07 > 0:07:11not have had to attend a meeting like this before. This is the most
0:07:11 > 0:07:16difficult political moment he has had to face. Like a lot of close
0:07:16 > 0:07:19friends of Carl Sargeant, undoubtedly he will be feeling grief
0:07:19 > 0:07:22as well, but he will have two set out his case to the Assembly
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Members. When we spoke to said they will give him a fair wind as he
0:07:27 > 0:07:31tries to justify the decisions he would make, but there really is
0:07:31 > 0:07:36anger within the party. Within the past hour I spoke to a Labour figure
0:07:36 > 0:07:39in Welsh local government saying there is a groundswell of opinion
0:07:39 > 0:07:42out there that Carl Sargeant was badly treated and an expectation
0:07:42 > 0:07:47that some kind of action will be taken in the meeting tomorrow. That
0:07:47 > 0:07:53is open ended but the stakes are high.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57A road in Cardiff has been blocked off tonight as police deal with an
0:07:57 > 0:08:03ongoing incident. Pfizer -- firearms officers have been deployed.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06A man has admitted causing death by dangerous driving after an object
0:08:06 > 0:08:09flew off his van and killed 50-year-old nurse Susan Owen,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11who was driving her car in the opposite direction.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Caernarfon Crown Court heard that 31-year-old
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Barry Slaymaker was driving along the Nant Y Garth Pass near Felinheli
0:08:17 > 0:08:20when the incident happened last September.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23He'll be sentenced later this month.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Plans to turn a 19th Century mill in Pembrokeshire
0:08:27 > 0:08:30into a Victorian-themed tourist attraction have been rejected.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Bluestone National Park want to turn Blackpool Mill into a heritage site
0:08:33 > 0:08:35with a narrow-gauge steam railway.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38But planning officers at the Pembrokeshire Coast National
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Park Authority recommended refusal of the plan because of the potential
0:08:43 > 0:08:49harmful impact on the environment and the tranquillity of the area.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Bosses at Wales's biggest hospital have apologised unreservedly
0:08:54 > 0:08:57after an inspection discovered "significant" failings
0:08:57 > 0:08:59at the mortuary.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It found tissue samples from 42 people, including entire organs,
0:09:02 > 0:09:08were kept by the University Hospital of Wales for longer than permitted.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Our health correspondent Owain Clarke has been
0:09:11 > 0:09:14following developments.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18When a person dies unexpectedly, then the police or coroner can
0:09:18 > 0:09:22insist that a post mortem examination takes place.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26In those cases, organs or tissue can be removed and kept
0:09:26 > 0:09:31by a hospital to try to find out exactly what happened.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But once those investigations are complete, then those remains
0:09:34 > 0:09:38need to be returned to the family or disposed of in line with their
0:09:38 > 0:09:40wishes within three months.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45But it's emerged that on no fewer than 42 occasions the mortuary
0:09:45 > 0:09:48at Wales' biggest hospital kept hold of human tissue
0:09:48 > 0:09:51beyond that deadline.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55There were five examples where an individual's brain had been
0:09:55 > 0:09:58kept longer than was allowed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02And in one instance a tissue sample was kept for five years.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The boss of the local health board has apologised.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Our systems have let us down and that is the feeling.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Our systems have let us down.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15A number of those are administrative systems and therefore
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I would suggest there is no excuse for that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We have to put that right and we need to put it right
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and make sure it stays right into the future.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27But that's not the only big failing that was picked up when the mortuary
0:10:27 > 0:10:29was inspected in August.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31The Human Tissue Authority also found problems
0:10:31 > 0:10:33with maintenance and equipment.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It said the mortuary wasn't clean or secure enough.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And it concluded the individual whose legal responsibility
0:10:40 > 0:10:46it was to make sure standards were met was "not suitable
0:10:46 > 0:10:49"to act in this capacity".
0:10:49 > 0:10:51That person still works for the health board but has been
0:10:51 > 0:10:53moved to another role.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55But this isn't the first time serious concerns have been raised.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58In 2009, the mortuary had to be closed down for a period
0:10:58 > 0:11:02following a previous highly-critical inspection.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06They have honestly not learned any lessons and I would expect
0:11:06 > 0:11:09the Welsh Government and the health board to taken very strong action
0:11:09 > 0:11:12to ensure that this mortuary comes up to standards,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16that patients and their families are not treated in this awful way.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19But the health board says there's already been
0:11:19 > 0:11:21a lot of improvement, even though the Human
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Tissue Authority insists there's a lot left to do.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And they'll be monitoring closely, considering few things are more
0:11:28 > 0:11:35important than taking proper care of the remains of loved ones.
0:11:35 > 0:11:3810,000 crosses have been laid out in the grounds of Cardiff Castle
0:11:38 > 0:11:42to create a Field of Remembrance for those who died while serving
0:11:42 > 0:11:45in the Armed Forces.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Organised by the Royal British Legion, the field in the Welsh
0:11:53 > 0:11:57capital is one of six across the UK to remember those who died
0:11:57 > 0:12:01in conflicts in the distant past and more recently.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05I think it's important for the Welsh nation but it's important
0:12:05 > 0:12:08for the whole of the United Kingdom as well that we don't forget
0:12:08 > 0:12:11the sacrifices made in both the World Wars and all the other
0:12:11 > 0:12:16conflicts, by both those who fought and those who remained at home
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and also suffered.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22The price they paid for our freedom is just something that, as nations,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26we should not forget.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There are calls tonight for more support groups for younger people
0:12:29 > 0:12:31who have a stroke.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35The Stroke Association says they can provide invaluable emotional support
0:12:35 > 0:12:37to people who are recovering from the effects of a stroke.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Around 50 stroke survivors regularly attend the award winning
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Neath Port Talbot group.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Our reporter Ben Price joined them.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Christmas may still be 47 sleeps away but for everyone
0:12:48 > 0:12:51at the Neath Port Talbot stroke group, they firmly believe
0:12:51 > 0:12:54in looking ahead to the future and they are quite
0:12:54 > 0:12:57a creative bunch too.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Conrad Evans suffered a stroke four years ago.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It affected his body, speech and memory.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08With the support of his wife and his children,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11he has made steady progress.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Joining the stroke group earlier this year
0:13:13 > 0:13:16has also made a big difference.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You thought your life was over, wasn't it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20You were not going to do anything again.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25But now they are talking about going on zip wires and things.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28There are so many things to do.
0:13:28 > 0:13:35You could live a more extreme life than ever before.
0:13:35 > 0:13:35There's more things to do than I did before.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37That's certainly something that makes this group of stroke
0:13:37 > 0:13:40survivors stand out.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42They are ready to have a go at almost anything.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Like learning to fish or even African drumming.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49And they've been to Ibiza and now there is talk of going surfing.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It is something different.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Somewhere to be.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Really good.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I enjoy it.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00It's more pleasant to see other people.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You don't feel like you are more disabled yourself.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08In Wales, around 7,500 people have a stroke each year.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11According to the Stroke Association, the number of people of working age
0:14:11 > 0:14:14having a stroke is on the rise.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Unlike many groups, this one has members in their 30s right
0:14:19 > 0:14:21through to their 80s.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I would say that every town, every county, needs one
0:14:24 > 0:14:26or two stroke groups.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29What you've got to remember is that one of the biggest risk factors
0:14:29 > 0:14:31of stroke is getting older.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So a variety of groups as well.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Some groups are very good at supporting people
0:14:35 > 0:14:39in their 60s and 70s, there is a very big need
0:14:39 > 0:14:42for stroke support for people in their 30s,
0:14:42 > 0:14:4440s, 50s, of working age.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50John Evans never expected to have a stroke at the age of 42.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53More than a year on, he has managed to get back
0:14:53 > 0:14:58on track to some extent, even finding himself a new job.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I guess being part of this group has really helped
0:15:00 > 0:15:02you get back into work?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07They have been amazing because it has allowed me to talk to people
0:15:07 > 0:15:12that have had the same experience as me and help other people as well.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18And it is down to strong, hard work and determination
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I've managed to get where I am.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23As they put the finishing touches to their designs,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27this adventurous group promise a lot more to come in the years ahead.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Still to come before 7pm.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33150 years on, a community remembers the victims
0:15:33 > 0:15:36of the Ferndale Colliery Disaster.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38And, he's back.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Glamorgan great Matthew Maynard returns to the county
0:15:41 > 0:15:43in a coaching role.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Unions are welcoming Tata Steel's £30 million investment
0:15:51 > 0:15:53in its Port Talbot site.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57The company says it'll pay for new equipment to help it produce
0:15:57 > 0:16:00advanced materials for electric and hybrid cars.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04But unions want Tata to commit to re-lining one of the blast
0:16:04 > 0:16:07furnaces at the steel works, which they believe will secure
0:16:07 > 0:16:09the long-term future of the Port Talbot site.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Our business correspondent Brian Meechan is in Port Talbot.
0:16:12 > 0:16:19Brian, tell us more about the investment?
0:16:19 > 0:16:26The investment will see a new 500 tonne steel-making vessel prodding
0:16:26 > 0:16:33at Port Talbot. There will also be new cranes and new technology which
0:16:33 > 0:16:37will try to reduce emissions at the site. That means that it will be
0:16:37 > 0:16:43able to produce and develop more advanced, high performing steel that
0:16:43 > 0:16:51can be used in electric and hybrid cars, but also make buildings of the
0:16:51 > 0:16:57future more energy efficient. This is part of an expectation we have
0:16:57 > 0:17:02that there will be more money coming from Tata not just to this Port
0:17:02 > 0:17:08Talbot site but to its other Welsh and UK sites.I am sorry about the
0:17:08 > 0:17:12technical problems we seem to be having in Port Talbot.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15150 years ago today, more than half the miners
0:17:15 > 0:17:18at Ferndale Colliery were killed in an explosion.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20178 men and boys died in the disaster, which was caused
0:17:20 > 0:17:23by large amounts of gas underground.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Today the community has come together to remember those
0:17:25 > 0:17:26who lost their lives.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Caroline Evans reports.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Ivor England, himself a former Ferndale miner, rings the bell
0:17:34 > 0:17:38for the men who lost their lives at this moment, 1:30pm,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41150 years ago.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45He believes the men and boys who died, some of whom are buried
0:17:45 > 0:17:50here in Llanwonno, would not have known the dangers mining presented.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53They had a ventilation fan underground,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55a furnace, in a coal mine.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58They had lamps that were faulty in a coal mine.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Unbelievable.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07Back in 1867, this area had a population of around 800.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Almost every single house was affected.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Newspaper reports from the time tell of harrowing scenes as the dead
0:18:14 > 0:18:16were brought to the surface.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20It took three weeks to recover all the bodies.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25The youngest being 12, six were 13 years of age,
0:18:25 > 0:18:3125 were 18 and under, and 92 out of the 178 killed
0:18:31 > 0:18:33were under 25.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35So you can imagine the decimation it would have had
0:18:35 > 0:18:37on this particular area.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41For months now, a small group of dedicated volunteers has been
0:18:41 > 0:18:44working to uncover the history.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47This film part of the exhibition which has been put together
0:18:47 > 0:18:51for today as interest has grown in the community.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54In the last three months, it has grown out of all proportion.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57The overwhelming response from local people, the wider community,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00social media, and tonight you will see something that this
0:19:00 > 0:19:03community has never seen before, and I think it will truly represent
0:19:03 > 0:19:05what those miners went through.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08What this small group has started now has grown
0:19:08 > 0:19:10to involve hundreds of people.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14This evening they are marching from the colliery site once more
0:19:14 > 0:19:19for a service to commemorate the anniversary of the disaster.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Six kitchen workers from a hospital in Neath Port Talbot have won
0:19:24 > 0:19:28a EuroMillions jackpot of more than £25 million.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31The women have been playing the lottery as a work syndicate
0:19:31 > 0:19:34for the past six years, but the "catering girls"
0:19:34 > 0:19:36have now handed in their notice.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38They are currently planning a dream holiday together
0:19:38 > 0:19:41to Las Vegas in the New Year.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Slight changes but we are not going to change.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45We will be the same.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We are too ordinary to change.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Yes!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54He spent more than 20 years at Glamorgan, first as a player
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and then as director of cricket.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Now, after a seven year break from the club,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Matthew Maynard is returning as a batting consultant.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05He says he's delighted to be back at the club he was able
0:20:05 > 0:20:07to call home for so long.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Sam Richards reports.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18Matthew Maynard at his best. Thrilling Welsh clouds with his
0:20:18 > 0:20:22attacking stroke play. A big figure in Glamorgan's history. And now he's
0:20:22 > 0:20:26back after leaving the role of Somerset's head coach. He is
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Glamorgan's batting consultant. Whether it is a ball that is a
0:20:31 > 0:20:36decent length or a half volley, you have that where you want to be.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42I have got a daffodil tattooed on my arm. It is very close to me, the
0:20:42 > 0:20:45club, and always has been. It has always played a massive part in my
0:20:45 > 0:20:54life and now there is an opportunity for me to give something back. It is
0:20:54 > 0:20:59like when I was captain, Robert Croft was playing for me, when I was
0:20:59 > 0:21:03captain he was playing for me, and now I am playing for him.He will be
0:21:03 > 0:21:08working with some of the county's Brighton -- brightest talents.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13Probably a little bit before my time. I think the style he played
0:21:13 > 0:21:17and the brand he played really resonates with me personally. It is
0:21:17 > 0:21:21quite an honour to have another Glamorgan legend back on the
0:21:21 > 0:21:27coaching staff.Matthew Maynard was part of the Glamorgan side that won
0:21:27 > 0:21:32the County Championship in 1997. He called time on his playing career
0:21:32 > 0:21:36eight years later. He went on to become the director of cricket
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Glamorgan in 2008 before moving on to coach in the Caribbean and South
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Africa. In 2012 he took a break from the game following the tragic death
0:21:44 > 0:21:50of son Tom Maynard.He has had time away from Glamorgan, picked up
0:21:50 > 0:21:55experience around the world, and the timing is absolutely right now. He
0:21:55 > 0:21:59is very prepared and very at ease in his own mind that he wants to go
0:21:59 > 0:22:02very skills specific and we are excited about giving our batters the
0:22:02 > 0:22:07best possible chance going forward. Coaches say they were encouraged by
0:22:07 > 0:22:12the 2017 season. A number of young players were able to make their mark
0:22:12 > 0:22:16on the side and fans got to see their team reached the 20/20 final.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21But there is still a lot of work to do and it is hoped Matthew Maynard's
0:22:21 > 0:22:25return could help bring the glory days back to Glamorgan.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Football, and Wales will play in the 2018 China Cup alongside
0:22:29 > 0:22:31China, Uruguay and the Czech Republic.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33The line-up was announced at a press conference in Beijing.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36The four-team competition will be held in the southern Chinese city
0:22:36 > 0:22:39of Nanning next March.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Tonight's derby match between Chester and Wrexham
0:22:42 > 0:22:44will go ahead with loosened safety measures.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47For the past four seasons, the fixture has been classed
0:22:47 > 0:22:49as a "bubble match", which means away fans must travel
0:22:49 > 0:22:52in officially-organised coaches.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Police have relaxed the restrictions
0:22:54 > 0:22:58following a drop in arrests and disorder.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Time for a look at the weather now.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Benny's here, and some lovely sunshine today.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Can we expect any more tomorrow?
0:23:05 > 0:23:05Can we expect any more tomorrow?
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Yes, we can expect some more bright weather tomorrow. We started the day
0:23:14 > 0:23:19on a cold and frosty note. Temperatures got down to minus three
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Celsius in Sennybridge last night. But then we did cede some gorgeous
0:23:24 > 0:23:27sparkly sunshine. Some cloud coming in through the afternoon and that is
0:23:27 > 0:23:33where we are tonight. This is a very weak front pushing south and
0:23:33 > 0:23:38eastwards through the night. We will see some hill fog developing. The
0:23:38 > 0:23:40rain intensifying across Gwynedd and then gradually pushing down and
0:23:40 > 0:23:45clearing away. The temperatures tonight not as cold as last night.
0:23:45 > 0:23:53Between four and eight Celsius. It will be blustery along the coast.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Tomorrow, once this front clears, a ridge of high pressure building so a
0:23:57 > 0:24:01fairly settled day. But later on in the night, we will see some rain
0:24:01 > 0:24:06pushing in from the west. First thing tomorrow morning, dry and
0:24:06 > 0:24:11cloudy start across the south-east. Some patchy rain for Powys. Some fog
0:24:11 > 0:24:20first thing but a very mild start to the day further north. Blustery
0:24:20 > 0:24:23conditions along Cardigan Bay. Quite a bit of cloud around for
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. But a dry start of a morning with
0:24:27 > 0:24:32temperatures around 12 Celsius. Cloudy across Swansea as well. As we
0:24:32 > 0:24:36go through the morning, the cloud and rain will clear and then by the
0:24:36 > 0:24:40afternoon we can look forward to more in the way of sunshine.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Certainly an improving picture with temperatures tomorrow slightly
0:24:42 > 0:24:48higher than today so feeling milder. Between ten and 14 Celsius. Tomorrow
0:24:48 > 0:24:52night it is quiet at first and then we will start to see the next
0:24:52 > 0:24:56weather front coming in, bringing more patchy rain with it. It will
0:24:56 > 0:25:00push through pretty quickly and Pembrokeshire escaping the worst of
0:25:00 > 0:25:04the rain. Temperatures still fairly mild for this time of year. The
0:25:04 > 0:25:09weather turning colder again as we head into the weekend.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The family of Carl Sargeant, the late Welsh Government minister who
0:25:16 > 0:25:20was sacked last week of allegations of inappropriate behaviour say he
0:25:20 > 0:25:25was deprived of natural justice, claiming he had not been able to
0:25:25 > 0:25:29defend himself. He is thought to have taken his own life yesterday.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The Labour Party said it followed procedures in line with the
0:25:31 > 0:25:37investigations. This can't happen to anyone else,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41whatever the allegations, whatever the nature, we really need to learn
0:25:41 > 0:25:45lessons from this and how we actually support people, look after
0:25:45 > 0:25:49people. Politics is a rough and difficult game but it should not end
0:25:49 > 0:25:55in this way. Back now to our political editor.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Reminders of the latest developments.
0:26:00 > 0:26:0536 hours after the tragic death of Carl Sargeant, fast paced movements.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09This afternoon, I think it was the opportunity for the family of Carl
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Sargeant to show how unhappy they have been with the situation and a
0:26:13 > 0:26:17picture emerging of what was going on behind-the-scenes. We now know
0:26:17 > 0:26:22that Carl Sargeant knew that he was facing allegations relating to
0:26:22 > 0:26:24inappropriate touching and groping but he wanted more details in order
0:26:24 > 0:26:29to fully defend himself and he wasn't getting it from the party.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33And in some documents that were released by the family today, a
0:26:33 > 0:26:36sense of the vulnerability that he was feeling. Talk about mental
0:26:36 > 0:26:41well-being and even anxiety. And tonight Leighton Andrews, the former
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Assembly Member, has said there was an undermining of Carl Sargeant from
0:26:47 > 0:26:52the Labour Welsh Government for several years. That will not go down
0:26:52 > 0:26:56well with a number of figures, including Assembly Members, which
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Carwyn Jones is addressing in a crunch meeting here tomorrow.Thank
0:27:00 > 0:27:02you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05And there'll be more on that story on Wales Live,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07a new programme starting on BBC One Wales tonight.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Here are the details.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Join us at 10:30pm for the latest on this developing story. We will be
0:27:17 > 0:27:21asking what next for the First Minister Carwyn Jones. And joining
0:27:21 > 0:27:25us in the studio will be a former Wales Labour minister.We shall be
0:27:25 > 0:27:28life after the news at 10pm.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'll have a quick update at 8pm, but for now,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32from everyone on the programme, have a lovely evening.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Goodbye.
0:27:33 > 0:27:33Goodbye.
