0:01:04 > 0:01:07The MP for Swansea East Carolyn Harris today paid tribute

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Very sad.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19They can now have closure.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22They can say goodbye to Christopher and they can grieve his loss.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26The building was due for demolition when it partially collapsed

0:01:26 > 0:01:29in February killing Michael Collins from Teesside,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Ken Creswell and John Shaw, both from Rotherham,

0:01:31 > 0:01:34are still missing.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38The main section was brought down using exposes in July and the search

0:01:38 > 0:01:42for the remaining men continues.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Around 100 protestors gathered in Cardiff

0:01:44 > 0:01:48to voice their opposition to Wales' vote to leave

0:01:48 > 0:01:50the European Union in June.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58with the EU.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01But campaigners from the Leave side say the referendum result six weeks

0:02:01 > 0:02:04ago must be accepted.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yes, the vote went one way but there was

0:02:07 > 0:02:10no alternative offered and, I think, in any democracy,

0:02:10 > 0:02:14any decision is open to challenge.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16We don't close down debate after general elections,

0:02:16 > 0:02:20opposition parties continue to argue their case and I think that

0:02:20 > 0:02:24it's absolutely right that people in this country continues to argue

0:02:24 > 0:02:28the case for Britain's partnership with Europe.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31What's important now is that we don't give tags to people.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34We don't say "Brexiteers", we don't say people were "Remainders".

0:02:34 > 0:02:36We actually all come together in the best interests of Britain

0:02:36 > 0:02:38and, indeed, Europe.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40By continuing to fight the referendum campaign

0:02:40 > 0:02:43that was decided by the vote on June 23, actually,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46is doing no one any favours.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49The owners of the former Friction Dynamic site in Caernarfon

0:02:49 > 0:02:51have been urged to develop the site before it falls

0:02:51 > 0:02:53into further delapidation.
