That's it from us. They will be continuing coverage throughout the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
night on Tonight's headlines: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On the campaign trail. The First Minister says Labour has | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
a 'mountain to climb' Cardiff University will become | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
one of the UK's major And an inquest hears a tumble dryer | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
should "not be ruled out" as the cause of a flat fire | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
which killed two men. The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, | :00:22. | :00:39. | |
has admitted that Labour has 'a mountain to climb' | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
in the general election. Speaking for the first time | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
since the snap election was called, he also said it was an opportunity | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
for the UK leader Jeremy But with the party languishing | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
in the polls, how much pressure Our political editor | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Nick Servini reports from one of Labour's heartland areas, | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
Merthyr Tydfil. High-profile politicians | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
are back out on the step. And at times it's going to get quite | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
uncomfortable for them, as the First Minister found out | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
in his home patch of Bridgend. And you haven't stood | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
by your constituency. The majority of people | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
voted for Brexit. The Welsh Labour leader of course | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
won't be ending up in the Number Ten Can you honestly see | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister? I think he has to prove himself, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
there's no question about that. People haven't seen him | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
in an election campaign. He is somebody who is passionate, | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
he is somebody who is This is, despite the apparent lead | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
in the opinion polls, an election Jeremy Corbyn insists it's not | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
a foregone conclusion but Labour is lagging in the polls which has | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
led some to predict The party currently | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
has 25 out of the 40 Constituencies like Bridgend, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Cardiff Central, Newport West, Anglesey and a number in north-east | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
Wales could come under pressure. If they lose six they go down | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
to less than half the seats in Wales and that hasn't happened | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
for a very long time. What that means is it will take much | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
longer to rebuild because I think there will be an inevitability | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
as usual with the political cycles. This isn't the end of | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
the Labour Party but it will take a lot longer to get back to where it | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
used to be. Merthyr Tydfil says | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
it has a big heart. A big problem for Labour in places | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
like this is that they supported Brexit in contrast to virtually | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
all of the party's leaders. No one realistically expects anyone | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
other than Labour to win here. This is Labour heartland | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
territory, isn't it? Surely it's safe for | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Labour here isn't it? Labour says it does support leaving | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
the EU and recognises the result. It's all a bit watery | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
though, isn't it? I'm Labour, always been Labour | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
and I will not change my mind. If everyone was in the same frame | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
of mind as me perhaps They will vote Labour | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
if they had a donkey I think they have lost a few voters | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
to Ukip and potentially Even in Merthyr. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Stranger things have happened. So over the next seven weeks expect | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
Theresa May to talk a lot about taking us out of the EU | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
and controlling our borders. Expect Jeremy Corbyn to talk a lot | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
about anto-austerity and taking The question is, in a place | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
like Merthyr which voted to leave remember, has Corbyn's class-based | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
rhetoric which has gone down so well over the years been overtaken | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
by the new language of Brexit? All of the parties will come under | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
intense focus in a frenetic few weeks but in Wales inevitably that | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
means the dominant force, Labour, Cardiff University has been chosen | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
as one of the major centres The ?13 million centre | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
in the capital will be a significant section of the UK's | :04:35. | :04:39. | |

that the condition is My children say that | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
over the last 12 months I think that I'm OK, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
but they say that I have Cardiff University has already | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
gained international recognition for its dementia research, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
but today's announcement means academics here can | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
take their research a step further. The is to aim find new ways | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
to diagnose, treat, prevent and care for people with dementia and build | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
on the work which is already taking Initially, the University | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
will receive ?13 million to become a UK Dementia Research Institute | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Centre. And the centre is set to become | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the biggest investment Wales has ever received first scientific study | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
into the disease. With the potential to be awarded | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
a further ?70 million in research And up to 60 scientific researchers | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
will be employed in Cardiff by 2022. This happened to cancer | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
research about 20 years ago, where a lot more investment was put | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
in and sustained. And now we are reaping | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
the benefits in terms And we needed this large | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
injection of funds. Back in her home, Karen | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
welcomes the news. It's really needed, because I don't | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
think it will be for my time, but it will be for my children, | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
my grandchildren, because possibly they could have dementia | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
when they are older. And if by that time they could find | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
a cure, that would make me happy. The recruitment process will now | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
begin at the centre as the fight Police investigating a sexual | :07:02. | :07:04. | |

who gave her a lift in his The woman had been out | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
in the Park Crescent area It's believed a man in a silver | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Lexus offered her a lift. He's described as white, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |

workmen style trousers. Waiting times for patients | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
in Accident and Emergency units Just under 81% of patients were seen | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
in less than four hours. The target of 95% | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
has never been met. NHS Wales is still behind | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
on waiting-time targets for patients to start cancer treatment, | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
but there was a slight improvement in ambulance response times | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to life-critical calls. A tumble dryer at a flat | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
in Llanrwst, where two men died in a fire, couldn't be ruled out | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
as its cause, despite a lack An expert, hired by the manufacturer | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Whirlpool, has been presenting his findings at an inquest | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
into the deaths of Bernard Hender One of the key questions surrounding | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
the fire at this flat in the centre of Llanrwst is whether a tumble | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
dryer was to blame. Seen on the left of these pictures, | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
taken just days after the tragedy, it's the focus of the inquest | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
into two men who died there. 39-year-old Douglas McTavish, | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
who ran a local bistro, and 19-year-old Bernard Hender, | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
who worked there as a chef, were unable to escape the thick | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
smoke and flames which tore through the property | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
in October 2014. Mr Hender's partner | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Garry Lloyd Jones was able to crawl out of the building but, | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
suffered from severe He said yesterday that he woke up | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
in a smoke filled bedroom, before seeing flames coming | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
from the drum of the tumble dryer, though it had been swtiched off | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
with the door open the night Today, a member of the Insitute | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
of Fire Engineers presented his Appointed by the manufacturer | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Whirlpool, he said there was no compelling evidence that the blaze | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
started in the dryer, The company's former product safety | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
director said between 2009 and 2014, there had been 28 reports of fires | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
where the same type of door switch was implicated | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
or couldn't be ruled out. But given that its dryers | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
complete one billion cycles every 12 days, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
it hadn't triggered The inquest is expected to enter | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
a third and final day tomorrow. UKIP have been campaigning | :09:30. | :09:38. | |

saying it offers a breath It says councils are under pressure | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
because of immigration and also The party is fielding 80 candidates | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
in 14 authorities in Wales in the local elections, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
on May the 4th. We have our scheme to prioritise | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
people in terms of housing needs. We want to reduce fat cat | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
salaries for councillors In particular we want to return | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
to the old committee system and get away from the cabinet system | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
of local government that we've And the money saved, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
we can put into front-line services. A charity is calling | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
for a respite centre for patients It would be the first | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
of its kind in Wales. Kidney Wales is staging a walk | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
around the country in 30 days, to help raise ?4 million | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
for the centre. It would allow patients | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
to continue treatment, while they enjoy a holiday | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
with loved ones. 10,000 people in Wales live | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
with kidney disease. It's going to be a form | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
of respite care centre. Lots of families can't go on holiday | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
because they are tied to a dialysis machine and we are going to put | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
together a wellness centre The former Wales manager | :10:49. | :10:51. | |

who died in 2011, will be inducted Time for the weather forecast now. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
What do you have for us Derek? I did it sure. Cloud, sunshine and | :11:16. | :11:33. | |
frost and a cold snap on the way. We have not had much rain this month so | :11:34. | :11:43. | |
far and we're not expecting much if any rain over the next few days. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
It's a dry story tonight. Clear in parts of the South but cloud will | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
spread down from the North overnight. Temperatures holding up. | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
Fairly cloudy tomorrow morning. Bright in a few places and dry. Just | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the odd spot of light rain in the North. Across the rest of the UK we | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
have called front line through Scotland which will bring some rain | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
with it. Tending to fragment as it moves south during the day. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Brightening up behind that cold front. For the south of the UK | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
mostly dried -- tomorrow. The best of the sojourn in Devon and | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Cornwall. In Wales tomorrow afternoon the odd light shower in | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
parts of mid and North Wales but otherwise it's looking dry and | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
bright. The best of the sunshine in the south and south-west. | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Temperatures up to 16 Celsius. Some sunshine in the south tomorrow | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
evening then overnight cloud increasing and a few splashes of | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
rain in the north and north-east. On Saturday cloudy for a while and the | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
odd spots of rain but no more than that. Brightening up with some | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
sunshine. Gardeners watch out on Saturday night, it's going to be | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
quite cold with a widespread grass frost. Sunday is largely dry with | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
summer sunshine. Next week, called a heading our way from the Arctic | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
bringing some showers and some of those will be wintry. So cold snap | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
next week. We'll have updates in Breakfast | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
tomorrow but that is Wales Today. I think I love you. I love you too. | :13:23. | :13:36. | |
Let's move in together. | :13:37. | :13:40. |
