fan. Indeed, Joe. Joe Wilson there for us with the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight's headlines: The trial begins of a former | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
North Wales Police superintendent accused of historic sex abuse. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
In his last address before retiring, the Archbishop of Wales urges | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the Church to embrace same-sex marriage. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
And could we see four longer days and one half-day in the school week? | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
The changes explored in research for the Welsh Government. | :00:22. | :00:38. | |
A court has heard how a former senior North Wales police officer, | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
who faces sexual charges, was seen at a house frequented | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Gordon Anglesea denies three charges of indecent assault and one serious | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
sexual offence dating back to the 1980s. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
A jury at Mold Crown Court heard how one of his alleged victims claims | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
he was handed between abusers like a handbag. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Gordon Anglesea arriving at court today. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Once a senior police officer rising to the rank of superintendent, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
now facing claims he sexually abused teenage boys. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
The architecture of St Joseph's School in Wrexham has changed | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
in the last 30 years but, here in the early '80s, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
there was a Home Office attendance centre for young offenders. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
It was run, the jury was told, by the then | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Inspector Gordon Anglesea and it was there that three | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
of the alleged offences are said to have taken place. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Opening the case, the prosecution told the jury the alleged victim | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
He'd been sent to the attendance centre by a juvenile | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
He claims Gordon Anglesea indecently assaulted him | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
On a third occasion, there was a serious sexual assault. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
The second alleged victim, the prosecution said, | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
had been a resident at the Bryn Alyn children's home in Wrexham. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
There, he said, he was sexually abused by the owner, John Allen. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
In 2014, Allen was jailed for life after he was convicted of sexually | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
In her opening speech, Eleanor Laws QC said the man | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
describes how John Allen trafficed him to other men. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
He says he was handed around like a handbag, she said. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
He's recently identified one of those other men | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The jury's also been told that, later in the trial, it will hear | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
from a witness who said he saw Gordon Anglesea at a house | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Gordon Anglesea denies all the charges and the case continues. | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Roger Pinney, BBC Wales today at Mold Crown Court | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
News just in this evening from the Paralympics in Rio, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
and within the past half an hour, Aaron Moores from Swansea has won | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
The current world record holder said it was a dream come true. | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
His Great Britain team-mate, Scott Quin, won silver. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
In his last address before retirement, the Archbishop of Wales | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
has urged the Church to embrace same-sex marriage. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Retiring after 14 years leading the Church in Wales, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Dr Barry Morgan chose to focus on homosexuality | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
He told the church's governing body they must not be selective | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Kate Sidford and wife Del Harris would have loved a full | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
church wedding with hymns and all but it was not to be. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
I believe that marriage should be open to everybody. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
And you should have the choice of how to do it. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
A civil wedding in a registry office if that is what you want | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
or the chance of marrying in a church. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
When members of the Church in Wales' governing body voted | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
on the issue last September, the result showed a majority | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
in favour but not a big enough majority to change the law. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
After that, the Archbishop told me that he believed it would be foolish | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
for the bishops to bring forward a bill to try to change | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
But a year on, he's returned to the subject and made it the focus | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
for his final address to the governing body. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
It is, in fact, about freedom from all that diminishes | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
No Christian, I hope, today would ever argue | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
that slavery worked but, for 19 centuries, the Church | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
It was a speech which brought out strong reactions. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Whilst really encouraged by it, I wasn't expecting him to do this. | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
After all, this was his last governing body. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
He had an opportunity to say what he liked. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
I was sorry that the Archbishop didn't take the opportunity | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
to explore something new, that he returned to a theme | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
that he has explored many times before. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
It was a missed opportunity to give us something | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
fresh and new at the end of his time as archbishop. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Afterwards, the Archbishop explained why he'd chosen to make gay marriage | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
I think the fundamental issue I'm dealing with is not so much same-sex | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
relationships as the way we interpret and read the Bible. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
It's a far deeper question than same-sex relationships. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
The Church has seen many changes since the Archbishop took up | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Where it goes from here will be for someone else to oversee. | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
Unemployment in Wales has fallen again with the gap between Wales | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
and the rest of the UK continuing to widen. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
The rate here fell to 4.1% between May and July compared | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
The number of people unemployed is 10,000 lower than three months | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
earlier and down 35,000 compared to last year. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
A 37-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
of murder following the death of a woman in Swansea. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
The body of 42-year-old Alison Jane Farr-Davies was found | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
at a house in the Hafod area of the city yesterday afternoon. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
The man remains in custody and police are appealing for witnesses. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
A woman accused of murdering her father by deliberately starting | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
a house fire in Cardiff has appeared in court. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Robert Sadler died at his home in the Llanrumney area | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Emma Sadler was initially arrested and detained under | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the Mental Health Act before being rearrested this week. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
She's due to appear in court again next January. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
The Welsh Secretary, Alun Cairns, has suggested that Welsh Government | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
ministers in Cardiff Bay should reduce the number of bureaucrats | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
to help them manage cuts from Westminster. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
He was speaking after a report said the Welsh Government was facing cuts | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
of 3% until 2020 and that the cuts could be made significantly | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
worse if EU aid wasn't replaced after Brexit. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
We've seen across Whitehall significant cutbacks | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
in the civil service, for example, but the output hasn't | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
I'm not sure we've seen the same scale-back of civil service | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
bureaucrats in Cardiff Bay or in the Welsh government. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
There are savings that can be made that don't impact | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
A report has found that the death of a patient at Glan Clwyd Hospital | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
in Denbighshire was potentially avoidable had he been given | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
The Public Services Ombudsman says it was a travesty that the patient, | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
who had a history of chronic renal failure, waited over 12 hours to see | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board has apologised for the failings and says | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
changes have been made to the way patients are admitted and assessed. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Businesses and people living in Carmarthen | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
are being given their first glimpse of what two of the town | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
centre's streets could look like if regeneration plans go ahead. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
All this week, Carmarthen Town Regeneration Forum will be | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
consulting the public about plans to pedestrianise King Street | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
and create a town square at the end of Jackson's Lane. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
A four-and-a-half day school week - that's one option explored | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
in research for the Welsh Government. | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
A report by the Public Policy Institute for Wales says changing | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
the school week so there are some longer and some shorter days | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
could save money and help free up time for training teachers. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
But it also highlights concerns about the impact | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
on childcare and activities outside the classroom. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Here's our education correspondent, Bethan Lewis. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Science is the last lesson of the day for these new pupils. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
The school day here starts at 8:40am and | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
But could some longer and some shorter days be good for | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Headteacher Helen Jones says there are pros | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
and cons but welcomes a | :09:09. | :09:09. | |
It would definitely require the support of the workforce, | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
parents and pupils to enable it to work but I think it | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
We need to know it's going to impact positively on our young people | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
so they really do get something from it. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
In parts of Scotland, schools have four longer days | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
from Monday to Thursday and a half-day on Friday. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
That could give pupils and teachers free time on a Friday afternoon | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
or could be an opportunity for teachers to go on training | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
courses and, for the pupils, a chance to do out-of-school | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
With tighter budgets, there's an argument too that it | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
For parents at this Swansea primary school, any change would suit | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Very challenging for me as a single mother. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Having to work around picking up at midday instead of normal time | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
at 3pm, that would mean shortening my Friday. | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
I'd be quite happy with it but, then again, I don't work. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
I'd quite enjoy the children being home on a Friday afternoon. | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
By taking a shorter day and making other days longer, | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
After-school rugby training's in full flow. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
The research by the Public Policy Institute for Wales notes concerns | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
that a longer school day could make these sorts of after-school | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
The purpose of the Public Policy Institute is to | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
In that way, we enrich the debate around policy and we get to look | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
at the possible impact of radical ideas, like this one. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
As well as arguments around varying the length of school days, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
some are also calling for shorter school terms | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
The Welsh government says it's not going to introduce a policy | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
across Wales of four-and-a-half day school weeks but it will look | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
at some of the ideas raised in the report as it focuses | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
And, in the end, that's the key issue. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Making the school day longer or shorter is unlikely to happen | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
without a strong case that it would improve the quality | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Let's get the weather forecast now with Behnaz Akhgar. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Well, we had a taste of summer today with the temperatures up to 28 | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
More fine, warm weather heading our way tomorrow with the risk | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
So, through the night, we will see some clear skies, | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
especially across the South East, but all the while, the cloud | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
We will see some low-level cloud, mist and fog with overnight lows | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Things a little bit more unstable as we go through tomorrow | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
First thing tomorrow morning, we will see quite a bit of cloud, | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
mist and fog but, through the morning, | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
it will start to brighten up and most of us should see | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
some bright sunny spells as we go through the morning | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
For the rest of the British Isles, we have a weather front bringing | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
rain into Northern Ireland. Quite a bit of sea fog for eastern parts of | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
England and Scotland. The best of the sunshine across the south-east. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Through tomorrow afternoon, we look forward to sunny spells but also the | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
risk of a few showers. If you catch one, it will be heavy and thundery, | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
especially in the south-east. Tomorrow night, those showers | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
continue across the south-east. It could be heavy and thundery with the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
potential for flash flooding. Another stuffy night with | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
temperatures 14-16dC. A weather front brings rain from the West | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
which will play through early hours of Friday morning. Behind it, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
feeling pressure. We have sunshine to look forward to on Friday but | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
with the temperatures around where they should be the September. You | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
will notice the north-westerly breeze. On Saturday, feeling | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
fresher. Those temperatures 16-18dC. Sunny spells and dry weather to look | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
forward to. By the time we go into Sunday, thicker cloud and the risk | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
of rain. We're back with updates | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
in Breakfast from 6:25am. | :13:24. | :13:26. |
