the jury today it did not "How she was acting.

Cardiff Crown Court. The Wales Bill, which could give

:02:51.:02:54.

Wales more powers over income tax, fracking and the voting age

:02:55.:02:58.

has been hotly debated So significant is what's proposed,

:02:59.:03:00.

that no fewer than five former Welsh Secretaries have been

:03:01.:03:06.

speaking this evening. The bill was given an unopposed

:03:07.:03:09.

second reading but is certain to face demands for change

:03:10.:03:12.

in its detailed committee stage. In short, my Lords, this bill

:03:13.:03:16.

is fundamentally flawed I ask the government

:03:17.:03:22.

urgently to think again on the matters that

:03:23.:03:26.

I and others have raised. My Lords, I will conclude by saying

:03:27.:03:30.

this bill sets the course for a stable and lasting devolution

:03:31.:03:33.

settlement for Wales. It builds a new Welsh

:03:34.:03:37.

devolution settlement on the solid foundations

:03:38.:03:39.

of a reserve powers model. It is much improved on the draft

:03:40.:03:43.

of a year ago. My Lords, I commend

:03:44.:03:46.

this bill to the House. An undertaker has apologised

:03:47.:03:49.

after the wrong body was taken The error wasn't spotted

and the correct body buried. Former Wales International Mark

Aizlewood has denied playing a part in an alleged multi-million pounds

:04:12.:04:16.

fraud involving football The 57-year-old, who won 39 caps,

:04:17.:04:19.

pleaded not guilty to fraud by false representation alongside five others

of a trial in September next year. Welsh police forces say

:04:34.:04:39.

they received more than 70 reports of people dressing up

as clowns to deliberately It's a craze that started in America

:04:43.:04:45.

and has made its way to the UK. Gwent Police said they'd had

:04:46.:04:51.

reports of clowns peering through windows and jumping out

:04:52.:04:54.

of trees, and warned people could face arrest for causing

:04:55.:04:57.

harassment or distress. He's supposed to make you laugh,

:04:58.:05:00.

but away from the circus an encounter with a clown can be

:05:01.:05:06.

far from funny. It seems a creepy clown craze

:05:07.:05:09.

is in full swing with many in full costume jumping out

:05:10.:05:12.

on unsuspecting passers-by. It's clown costumes

:05:13.:05:16.

and masks like this that are causing concern

:05:17.:05:20.

in the latest craze to sweep South Wales Police say anyone

:05:21.:05:23.

who intentionally frighten someone with a costume like this could be

:05:45.:05:46.

because basically they could quite literally scare an elderly

:05:47.:05:48.

person to death. It may seem to be a little bit

:05:49.:05:51.

of fun to you, but it could have If you scared somebody

:05:52.:05:55.

to death you would have that on your conscience for

the rest of your life. Many of the clown videos doing

:06:00.:06:01.

the rounds on social media should be taken with a hint of scepticism,

:06:02.:06:06.

but this fancy dress shop in Caerphilly says

:06:07.:06:08.

it is a worrying trend. As a result they've decided not

:06:09.:06:11.

to sell the masks to children. Obviously, a lots of people have

:06:12.:06:14.

phobias about clowns. We can't stop selling

:06:15.:06:16.

them to people. We just hope that they are sensible

:06:17.:06:20.

and not scaring people. All four Welsh police forces
