Tonight's top stories: Zoe Morgan and Lee Simmons were stabbed

:00:00.:00:00.

A 20-year-old man is questioned on suspicion of their murder.

:00:07.:00:13.

The Welsh Government's new Brexit team take their seats but some

:00:14.:00:16.

are asking why there's only one Leave campaigner on the panel?

:00:17.:00:20.

And health officials warn emissions could get trapped

:00:21.:00:23.

in the Sirhowy Valley if plans for a waste site go ahead.

:00:24.:00:42.

A double murder investigation is continuing tonight

:00:43.:00:45.

after the bodies of two people were found on one of the main

:00:46.:00:48.

21-year-old Zoe Morgan and her boyfriend, 33-year-old Lee Simmons,

:00:49.:00:54.

A man who was known to the couple has been arrested

:00:55.:00:59.

Emergency services were called to the centre of Cardiff just before

:01:00.:01:07.

6am this morning after reports of two bodies outside

:01:08.:01:10.

Police later confirmed they were investigating the deaths

:01:11.:01:15.

of a 33-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman.

:01:16.:01:19.

It's believed they were both stabbed.

:01:20.:01:22.

Police have named the victims as Lee Simmons from the Grangetown

:01:23.:01:25.

area of Cardiff and Zoe Morgan from Llandaff North.

:01:26.:01:29.

They both worked at the Matalan store and had been in

:01:30.:01:32.

Zoe had just finished a fashion course at the University

:01:33.:01:37.

of South Wales, and was a former pupil of Whitchurch high school.

:01:38.:01:41.

Should be remembered with a lot of fondness.

:01:42.:01:45.

Really, a year group with an excellent reputation,

:01:46.:01:47.

not just in the classroom but for being good citizens.

:01:48.:01:52.

That's what you always want as a teacher.

:01:53.:01:54.

You want them to go on and do great things and we have no doubt

:01:55.:01:57.

that she was going to go on to do great things.

:01:58.:02:00.

After the incident police cordons were quickly set up and scenes

:02:01.:02:04.

of crime officers combed the usually busy shopping street for evidence

:02:05.:02:07.

Their attention focused outside Matalan.

:02:08.:02:11.

The area is ringed with CCTV cameras which may have

:02:12.:02:13.

Just after 9am this morning police confirmed they'd

:02:14.:02:18.

arrested a 20-year-old man at Castleton near Newport.

:02:19.:02:21.

He is currently being questioned at Cardiff Bay police station.

:02:22.:02:24.

Throughout the day police have been searching a property in Castleton

:02:25.:02:27.

where the man was arrested less than one hour the incident.

:02:28.:02:30.

They say it doesn't appear to have been a random assault and believe

:02:31.:02:33.

this aspect was known to the victims.

:02:34.:02:36.

They say they are not looking for anyone else in connection

:02:37.:02:38.

Back in the city centre this busiest streets was partially closed

:02:39.:02:44.

along with many shops, for most of morning.

:02:45.:02:47.

This coffee bar which fronts Queen Street was one of the few

:02:48.:02:50.

businesses that was allowed to stay open.

:02:51.:02:53.

But there were few customers and staff were naturally shocked

:02:54.:02:55.

When we came in at about five to six we didn't know anything

:02:56.:03:00.

was going on and then when we put the furniture out about 6:30am,

:03:01.:03:04.

it was all cordened off up there, and there were blue lights

:03:05.:03:07.

The incident caused chaos in the city centre with many shop

:03:08.:03:10.

workers sent home and shop deliveries unable to get through.

:03:11.:03:14.

Well, you could see the blood on Queen Street.

:03:15.:03:22.

Obviously, Queen Street being closed is going to put a huge

:03:23.:03:24.

dampner on things today, but at the end of the day

:03:25.:03:27.

the priority is now to find out what happened.

:03:28.:03:30.

Tonight there are floral tributes to the dead couple outside the store

:03:31.:03:40.

where they'd worked together for just a few short months.

:03:41.:03:43.

The police investigation is continuing.

:03:44.:03:48.

The Conservatives have criticised a new Welsh Government Brexit group

:03:49.:03:51.

because it only has one confirmed Leave campaigner.

:03:52.:03:55.

The 20-member committee, which includes the Ukip MEP

:03:56.:03:57.

It'll advise the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, on leaving

:03:58.:04:03.

The Welsh Government says the issues being considered go

:04:04.:04:07.

beyond the interest of any party or campaign group.

:04:08.:04:12.

I wish the committee well but I do think that Carwyn Jones has

:04:13.:04:15.

missed the opportunity here to have a genuinely cross-party

:04:16.:04:18.

committee that will work in the best interest of Wales.

:04:19.:04:20.

I mean, it's stuffed full of Labour luvvies.

:04:21.:04:23.

Quite what Neil Kinnock will bring to this committee, I do not know,

:04:24.:04:26.

when he spoke with such venom during the campaign against people

:04:27.:04:29.

A taxi driver from Flintshire, sentenced to 11 years in jail

:04:30.:04:35.

for raping a student after a night out, has fled the country.

:04:36.:04:39.

Syrian-born Sultan Amari from Flint denied two counts of raping

:04:40.:04:43.

the student at a house he owned in July last year.

:04:44.:04:46.

He should have returned to the trial on Monday but boarded

:04:47.:04:49.

Police have been given more time to question a 33-year-old man

:04:50.:04:57.

arrested in Cardiff last Thursday on suspicion of terror offences.

:04:58.:05:02.

Officers have until 6th October to question the man who remains

:05:03.:05:06.

in police custody at a central London police station.

:05:07.:05:09.

Two houses in Cardiff have been searched as part

:05:10.:05:12.

The North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner has been

:05:13.:05:17.

giving evidence in the trial of former superintendent

:05:18.:05:20.

Gordon Anglesea, who's accused of historical sexual abuse

:05:21.:05:23.

Arfon Jones told Mold Crown Court that, as a police constable

:05:24.:05:28.

in the 1980s, he used to drive Mr Anglesey to the Bryn

:05:29.:05:32.

Mr Jones says he believed Mr Anglesea was going there to issue

:05:33.:05:37.

Gordon Anglesea denies the charges and the trial continues.

:05:38.:05:45.

Now, it's a weather phenomenon which means cloud and smog can

:05:46.:05:48.

sometimes linger for days but now a senior Health Board official has

:05:49.:05:52.

warned that temperature inversion in a South Wales valley could also

:05:53.:05:58.

trap harmful emissions if a new waste processing

:05:59.:06:01.

Aneurin Bevan Health Board says trapped nitrogen

:06:02.:06:05.

dioxide over Cwmfelinfach could affect residents' health.

:06:06.:06:09.

Locals here say the microclimate traps cloud for days.

:06:10.:06:26.

Where you've got those two units, the green next

:06:27.:06:28.

They are concerned that emissions for a new waste plant planned

:06:29.:06:33.

for Cwmfelinfach may also get trapped here.

:06:34.:06:35.

I'm asthmatic, I've got two granddaughters, 13 and 14.

:06:36.:06:39.

I'm worried about what they'll breathe in as they grow up.

:06:40.:06:52.

Some days you can see this cloud really plain.

:06:53.:06:54.

Now doctors say they have concerns about the amount of nitrogen dioxide

:06:55.:06:59.

that may be released from the plant planned here.

:07:00.:07:01.

They say there is no known safe threshold.

:07:02.:07:04.

It can irritate people's lungs and lower resistance

:07:05.:07:06.

The Aneurin Bevan health board has told Natural Resources Wales

:07:07.:07:12.

to exercise caution when considering whether to give

:07:13.:07:15.

Where cold air and cloud is trapped in a valley high warm air above.

:07:16.:07:28.

Officials say it wasn't looked at in the original

:07:29.:07:30.

And their new data shows the plant will cause significant long-term

:07:31.:07:35.

The plant will go here, Caerphilly council gave

:07:36.:07:39.

It would turn huge amounts of waste, that would normally go

:07:40.:07:45.

The company behind it, Hazrem Environmental Limited,

:07:46.:07:50.

says any factory can produce nitrogen dioxide.

:07:51.:07:53.

And emissions will be less than previously thought.

:07:54.:07:55.

And even then the impact on air quality would have been negligible

:07:56.:07:58.

Caerphilly council say air qualitywould have been considered

:07:59.:08:03.

Natural Resources Wales say they'll look at the information before

:08:04.:08:09.

A body has been recovered in the search for a kayaker who's

:08:10.:08:16.

believed to have got into difficulty in a river near

:08:17.:08:18.

The man was reported missing yesterday afternoon

:08:19.:08:23.

after taking to the water at the Aberglaslyn Pass.

:08:24.:08:26.

His family is being supported by North Wales Police.

:08:27.:08:29.

Multiple agencies sprang into action following the call that

:08:30.:08:36.

Divers from the police regional underwater team joined various

:08:37.:08:41.

members of the emergency services to search the river Glaslyn

:08:42.:08:44.

which cuts through a deep valley near Beddgelert.

:08:45.:08:48.

It was dark by the time the body was found last night

:08:49.:08:50.

and the decision was made to postpone the recovery operation.

:08:51.:08:53.

A number of volunteer agencies have been supporting our colleagues

:08:54.:08:56.

We brought in some specialist resources.

:08:57.:09:03.

Due to the conditions of the river and the time and light it wasn't

:09:04.:09:07.

safe to put officers and volunteers into the river.

:09:08.:09:14.

Contingencies were put in place this morning and resulted

:09:15.:09:17.

When activity resumed at around 9am this morning there was a sombre

:09:18.:09:23.

atmosphere as volunteers carried out their grim work hampered

:09:24.:09:28.

Police, fire and mountain rescue teams brought to be

:09:29.:09:35.

Police have paid tribute to all those involved in the operation.

:09:36.:09:45.

They say the coroner has been informed of the death and that

:09:46.:09:48.

a post mortem examination will be carried out.

:09:49.:09:53.

Meanwhile, the force has offered its sympathies to the family

:09:54.:09:55.

who are being supported by trained staff.

:09:56.:09:57.

A charity is warning Wales urgently needs more specialist epilepsy

:09:58.:10:00.

nurses to cater for the needs of around 26,000 patients here.

:10:01.:10:05.

Epilepsy Action Cymru says the Welsh Government was told

:10:06.:10:08.

by a group of experts in 2007 that 88 specialist nurses were needed.

:10:09.:10:14.

A campaign was launched at the Senedd today calling

:10:15.:10:18.

Epilepsy specialist nurses can reduce hospital

:10:19.:10:23.

If they are used properly they have the expertise

:10:24.:10:29.

and knowledge to diagnose, treat and manage epilepsy.

:10:30.:10:33.

People don't have to see a consultant.

:10:34.:10:38.

The Welsh Government says there is no single model

:10:39.:10:40.

for neuroscience services and it's up to individual health boards

:10:41.:10:44.

to allocate specialist nurses in their areas.

:10:45.:10:48.

And just a reminder that tomorrow, we'll be celebrating the success

:10:49.:10:51.

of our Olympic and Paralympic athletes this summer in Rio.

:10:52.:10:55.

There'll be an official homecoming ceremony outside the Senedd.

:10:56.:10:59.

Welsh athletes won ten medals for Team GB and seven

:11:00.:11:01.

We'll be live from the celebrations in tomorrow's Wales Today at 6:30pm.

:11:02.:11:09.

Derek, it's typical autumn weather at the moment?

:11:10.:11:19.

Very changeable over the next few days, more rain and strong winds.

:11:20.:11:27.

But tomorrow, dry and bright and breezy with sunny spells. The light,

:11:28.:11:33.

strong and gusty winds, outbreaks of rain and drizzle. A cold front

:11:34.:11:37.

moving its way south east. By the end of the night, most of the

:11:38.:11:42.

country will be dry. Tomorrow morning, rain first thing in the

:11:43.:11:48.

south-east will Sinclair, leaving a dry, by the breezy morning. Sunshine

:11:49.:11:54.

for a change. One or two showers brushing through Anglesey. Across

:11:55.:11:58.

the West of the UK, windy in the north. Gales in Scotland. Plenty of

:11:59.:12:04.

showers and rain there. Further south, the south-east of England

:12:05.:12:08.

will clear followed by drier and brighter weather and sunshine.

:12:09.:12:13.

Pressure tomorrow, 13 Celsius in Glasgow and 20 in London. Bright and

:12:14.:12:18.

breezy sums up for Wales tomorrow afternoon. One or two showers in the

:12:19.:12:25.

north otherwise most places dry. Tomorrow night, a mixture of clear

:12:26.:12:29.

spells and scattered showers, heavy showers moving in from the Bristol

:12:30.:12:32.

Channel overnight and the cooler night, down to seven Celsius in the

:12:33.:12:38.

Brecon Beacons. Fide, sunny spells and scattered showers. If you are

:12:39.:12:44.

lucky, you will miss the showers and stay dry. Temperatures lower, 14 or

:12:45.:12:49.

15 Celsius. For the weekend, low pressure of us on Saturday, meaning

:12:50.:12:54.

unsettled conditions, showers or longer spells of rain. Temperatures

:12:55.:12:59.

on the cool side. Becoming dry and clear later in the day. That bodes

:13:00.:13:04.

well for Sunday. A nice day thanks to a ridge of high pressure. Dry,

:13:05.:13:11.

sunshine and light winds. One or two morning mist and fog patches. Sunday

:13:12.:13:14.

looking the best day of the weekend. We're back in Breakfast

:13:15.:13:16.

with updates from 6:25am. But for now from all of us

:13:17.:13:19.

on the programme, thanks
