0:00:04 > 0:00:06Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines:
0:00:06 > 0:00:09A new report into the deaths of three army reservists
0:00:09 > 0:00:11in the Brecon Beacons in 2013
0:00:11 > 0:00:13concludes it could happen again.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And hundreds of Labour supporters welcome Jeremy Corbyn,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19the first party leader to visit Wales on the election campaign.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Good evening.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39A new report into the deaths of three army reservists during
0:00:39 > 0:00:41an exercise in the Brecon Beacons in 2013 has concluded
0:00:41 > 0:00:44it could happen again.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Craig Roberts from Penrhyn Bay near Llandudno, James Dunsby
0:00:46 > 0:00:49from Wiltshire and Edward Maher from Hampshire died from heat
0:00:49 > 0:00:53exhaustion during an SAS selection exercise.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55A coroner ruled neglect played a part in their deaths.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Paul Heaney reports.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04A 16 mile hike with a heavy backpack on one of the hottest days of 2013.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07These three Army reservists, physically fit, took on that
0:01:07 > 0:01:10challenge to try and join the SAS.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It was always going to be difficult but neglect played
0:01:12 > 0:01:15a part in their deaths.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Their families gathered in 2015 to hear about failing after failing
0:01:17 > 0:01:23which played a part in them losing their loved ones.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25The coroner, Louise Hunt, concluded that before
0:01:25 > 0:01:27the fatal march the risk assessment was inadequate.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It didn't consider the weather or what training the men had.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Then during the march a GPS tracker system was supposed to show
0:01:34 > 0:01:36if a candidate was struggling, but it didn't work properly.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39There was no reference in the plans on how to spot,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44locate or retrieve struggling candidates if it was necessary.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Even after the event she was concerned that lessons
0:01:47 > 0:01:49were not being learned.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53The Ministry of Defence was censured by the Health and Safety Executive.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56That's the most serious action it can take against the MoD because it
0:01:56 > 0:02:00has immunity from prosecution.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Then this afternoon, the MoD published its own independent report
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and concluded that there may still be lessons to be learned four
0:02:07 > 0:02:11years after the incident on the Brecon Beacons and nearly two
0:02:11 > 0:02:16years after the conclusion of that inquest.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The report says that as of last year, there were significant areas
0:02:19 > 0:02:22of concern and unsafe practices within the training pathway
0:02:22 > 0:02:25for the reserve units.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27As a result, training activity for those units
0:02:27 > 0:02:30was immediately stopped.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32The report's author says, "It's my opinion that these
0:02:32 > 0:02:35reservists currently remain vulnerable to a further
0:02:35 > 0:02:38incident in the future".
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The Ministry of Defence tonight says its deepest sympathies
0:02:41 > 0:02:44remain with the families of the three soldiers.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46It says it commissioned this review published today
0:02:46 > 0:02:49to learn difficult lessons.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52All of the recommendations, it says, have been or are being addressed
0:02:52 > 0:02:56to ensure that such a tragic event cannot happen again.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59South Wales Police is appealing for information about the whereabouts
0:02:59 > 0:03:02of a Cardiff businessman who has escaped from police
0:03:02 > 0:03:04custody in India.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Mohammed Ali Ege was arrested there in connection with the murder
0:03:07 > 0:03:11of the Cardiff teenager, Aamar Siddiqi, seven years ago.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13He was awaiting extradition but escaped through a window
0:03:13 > 0:03:17at a train station.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21An inquest into the deaths of two men in a fire at a flat in Llanrwst,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23has heard that a "spontaneous combustion" inside a tumble dryer
0:03:23 > 0:03:24may have caused the blaze.
0:03:24 > 0:03:2719-year-old Bernard Hender and Doug McTavish,
0:03:27 > 0:03:34who was 39, died in 2014.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The former head of product safety for Whirlpool says eye-witness
0:03:37 > 0:03:39evidence suggests material caught fire inside the drum of the machine.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45The inquest has now been adjourned, and will resume at a later date.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47A 57-year-old woman from Carmarthenshire has been jailed
0:03:47 > 0:03:51for three years and nine months for stealing nearly ?1 million
0:03:51 > 0:03:54from her employer of 20 years.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Susan Jones pleaded guilty at Swansea Crown Court.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00She worked as company secretary for CK's Supermarket and took
0:04:00 > 0:04:03the money after her family farm in Llandeilo ran into
0:04:03 > 0:04:09financial difficulties.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11It was the first campaign visit by a party leader hoping
0:04:11 > 0:04:13to become Prime Minister after the general election.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Hundreds of Labour supporters turned out in Cardiff to greet
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Labour's Jeremy Corbyn.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21He described his agenda as a journey of "hope and excitement".
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Mr Corbyn was in one of the constituencies Labour's
0:04:24 > 0:04:27targeting on June the 8th.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Here's our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Wherever he goes, supporters follow.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Today has been no exception.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39They came to hear his message of wanting to raise everybody's
0:04:39 > 0:04:42living standards and to heap praise on what he called the successes
0:04:42 > 0:04:45of the Labour run Welsh Government.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47We are offering an economic policy that works for all,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50that invests for all and invests for the future so that we have
0:04:50 > 0:04:53a government that is determined to grow the economy and grow
0:04:53 > 0:04:56the opportunities for people.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57That's our offer to the British people.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59You were heaping praise on the Welsh Government,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02a Labour run Welsh Government, but that is a double-edged sword
0:05:02 > 0:05:04because there are successes but there are also problems,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08especially in education.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11They have had a ?9 billion cut in their budget from the UK
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Government, they need to make sure that children get free school meals,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18they have an investment programme.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Relations between Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour leader in Wales
0:05:20 > 0:05:22are said to be cordial but no more.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Carwyn Jones has been luke warm at best in his support
0:05:25 > 0:05:26for the party leader.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28But for Jeremy Corbyn's supporters, they were happy
0:05:28 > 0:05:31with what they heard.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It was solidarity, unification, and it was reaching out
0:05:33 > 0:05:36to a majority of what people actually want and what
0:05:36 > 0:05:38they actually need.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Everything he says is practical, policies that can be put into place.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It is no surprise that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour decided
0:05:45 > 0:05:47to come to Cardiff North to launch their campaign in Wales.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If the party is to have any chance of forming the next UK Government,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53this is exactly the kind of seat it needs to be taking
0:05:53 > 0:05:57from the Conservatives.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00For much of the past four decades, it has been held
0:06:00 > 0:06:02by the party in power.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I really can't believe this has happened.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Julie Morgan's win in 1997 broke the Tory hold on the seat
0:06:09 > 0:06:12through the Thatcher and Major years.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15She held it until 2010 when it was wrestled back
0:06:15 > 0:06:18by the Conservatives by just 194 votes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24So the Conservatives keep Cardiff North.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27The failure of Labour to win five years later and an increased Tory
0:06:27 > 0:06:31majority helped David Cameron back into Downing Street.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33The choice before the electorate is obviously hard-working
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Conservatives the length and breadth of Wales and the UK under the strong
0:06:37 > 0:06:39leadership of Theresa May and the Conservative team that has
0:06:39 > 0:06:42delivered record economic growth against the chaos
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and confusion of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48ably supported by Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Let me shake your hand.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I'm going campaigning now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Good stuff.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I love the hat!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57This was Jeremy Corbyn's first visit to Wales since the election
0:06:57 > 0:06:59was called on Tuesday.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Similar events have been organised across the UK over
0:07:02 > 0:07:04the next seven weeks.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06He'll be hoping the voters give him such a warm
0:07:06 > 0:07:08reception on June the 8th.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The roof of the Principality Stadium in Cardiff could be closed
0:07:11 > 0:07:13for the Champions League final because of fears over
0:07:13 > 0:07:16a possible drone attack.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19As the trophy made its way over from UEFA headquarters
0:07:19 > 0:07:22in Switzerland to Wales ahead of the final in June,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25officials from European football's governing body told this programme
0:07:25 > 0:07:29the idea's being considered for security reasons.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33No decision as been made so far regarding specifically the roof.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Any decision that needs to be made will be made much closer
0:07:38 > 0:07:42to the match but again this is part of the assessment as are
0:07:42 > 0:07:46all the other elements.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Cycling and Welshman Geraint Thomas has won the Tour of the Alps,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52becoming the first British rider to do so.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Thomas claimed the title by seven seconds after finishing third today.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01It's his first major win of the year.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Time for a look at what the weekend has in store.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Here's Derek with the forecast.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Good evening.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13There is a cold snap on the way next week but in the meantime a fairly
0:08:13 > 0:08:14decent weekend coming up.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16More dry weather and some sunshine.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Tonight, thicker cloud will spread south bringing a few
0:08:20 > 0:08:22spots of light rain.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Southern counties are staying dry.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26A few gaps in the cloud.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Lowest temperature 6C to 10C.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31A cloudy start for most of us tomorrow.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34The odd spot of rain here and there but no more than that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Many places dry and bright in places too.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Across the rest of the UK, a weak cold front lying roughly
0:08:40 > 0:08:44from London to Belfast will bring a few spots of light rain.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49A few showers in the North and North East of Scotland.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Elsewhere, largely dry with a mix of cloud and some sunshine.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06It should be sunnier in the north and west.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Highs of around 14C or 15C in the south and south-east.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Cooler and fresher in the north and west.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24A few clouds in the south.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30So a chilly start on Sunday but a decent looking day.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Most places dry with a mix of cloud and sunny spells.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Light winds.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Next week, a big change on the way.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40A cold front moving south bringing a little rain.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Behind that, cold arctic winds bringing a mixture
0:09:42 > 0:09:46of sunshine and wintry showers.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So winter hasn't finished with us yet.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56We'll be back with our next update at around 4:40pm tomorrow evening.
