The little girl turned away by the surgery who later died

Tonight questions around the disciplinary process for doctors.

And the man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and her new partner

searched the internet to learn how to do it.

Calls have been made for the General Medical Council

to publish its findings about a GP who refused to see a young girl

from Newport because she was late for an emergency appointment.

Five-year-old Ellie-May Clark died later the same evening

Dr Joanna Rowe was been given a warning by the GMC and has now

That's how Brandi Clarke from Newport remembers her granddaughter,

You don't cope, you just get on, take each day as it comes.

You just try and get through it the best you can.

Ellie-May had a history of severe asthma, ending up in a high

dependency unit five times before receiving help from her local

surgery a further five times in the six months before her death.

On 22nd of January 2015, short of breath, Ellie-May came

Her mother rang the surgery to book an emergency appointment.

Due at the Grange clinic in Newport at five, Ellie-May's mother said

she arrived at eight minutes past, although the receptionist said

Dr Joanne Rowe refused to see Ellie-May because she was late

and said she could come back the following morning.

Later that night, while Ellie-May was in bed,

her parents discovered she was having a seizure

She died that night after doctors at the Royal Gwent Hospital

An internal investigation by Aneurin Bevan Health Board found

that doctors at the surgery had been alerted to the risk Ellie-May faced

of having an episode of severe life-threatening asthma.

It also adds that whilst some doctors turned no-one away,

Dr Rowe was most likely to turn patients away who turned up late.

And the report also says that there was a consensus amongst

reception staff here that Dr Rowe was unapproachable and volatile,

The GP's case was passed to the disciplinary panel.

Although Dr Rowe has been issued with a five-year warning,

the General Medical Council or GMC dealt with her hearing

Ellie-May's family received a copy of the Aneurin Bevan report

They've apologised but some are calling for greater transparency.

If a warning is given, and there is no explanation,

the relatives of that patient who's been hurt have no idea on what basis

Dr Joanne Rowe was suspended on full pay for six months but continues

to practice at this surgery in the Splott area of Cardiff.

She has declined to comment on five-year

The MP for Arfon has said that the student to be deported has had her

deportation order lifted. She was to be deported three months before she

completes her degree. The MP says he expected to be released later

tonight. A trial scheme where targets

for Welsh ambulance response times were dropped for all but the most

life-threatening calls The Welsh Government says the target

has been met every month But the Conservatives claim

the system does not treat all suspected heart attack

and stroke calls seriously enough. Zoe Morgan and Lee Simmons

were stabbed outside Matalan Andrew Saunders was said to have

searched the internet to learn how to kill in the days leading up

to the murders. In Zoe Morgan, it was said

Lee Simmons had found love. They worked together in Matalan

and were waiting outside the city centre store in Queen Street

when they were attacked. Andrew Saunders was Zoe's

previous boyfriend. The court heard how in the days

leading up to the murders Witnesses described how

he had first attacked Lee, ignoring his pleas for help

and when Zoe failed to stop him and ran away, he had caught her,

and with a second knife, he stabbed her too, before

casually walking away. Investigations revealed he'd been

watching YouTube videos about revenge and googling

methods of killing. In mitigation, his lawyer said

in school, teachers had described him as a gentle giant,

a young man with outstanding grades He'd won a scholarship

to play American football at University in Canada,

but the death of his grandfather and the break-up with Zoe had

left him in emotional After the murders, he was diagnosed

with adjustment disorder . His lawyer said he was an adolescent

who couldn't manage. In the weeks following their deaths,

friends held vigils for Zoe and Lee. Today, statements were read out

from the couple's families. Zoe's mother said their world has

been turned upside down and they've padlocked her daughter's room so it

remains as she left it. Lee's father said he cannot look

at pictures of his son. Andrew Saunders is said to be

genuinely remorseful and wishes Sentencing is expected

to take place tomorrow. Nearly ?14 million of improvements

and confusion of this year's Oscars ceremony,

there was a win for a graduate Producer Joanna Natasegara was part

of the team behind the best short documentary The White Helmets,

which tells the story of rescue Her mother Barbara heads the charity

Safer Wales based in Cardiff. Film is really impactive in itself,

but what you do with it, you make a great documentary,

you talk about the facts, you talk about truth,

you give a voice to people who haven't had a chance to give

that voice before but who do you put

that right in front of? And I think that's

what she really finds exciting and that's what she's

really good at and that's what I find really impressive

about her work. Storm Doris brought strong winds
