🔴 Top Story: 25 years since 9/11 — first minister says "serious mistakes" followed, as Wales remembers its dead

A quarter of a century on from the 11 September attacks, First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth has said "serious mistakes" were made in foreign policy after 9/11 "by starting various wars and so on". Ap Iorwerth was on holiday in the New York area — and working as a BBC reporter — when two hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center, and he reported live from the city in the hours afterwards. Twenty-five years later he said he felt "serious mistakes were made" over foreign policy following the attacks: "What we saw after 11 September was this determination in America that I remember very well — to have revenge. "On the one hand, because of the scale of the attack on America, one can understand. But of course what one then has to consider is what is the danger of acting without thinking things through? Without thinking what the consequences are? Without thinking about a way out? Without thinking what the end point is? "Those are the messages I think followed from the war in Afghanistan, for example." The Ministry of Defence has been asked to respond to his comments. Families of those killed will attend a ceremony in New York later, where the names of the 2,983 people who died on 11 September 2001 will be read out. Welsh lives lost and touched by the attacks were remembered this week too. Katherine Susan Wolf, from Swansea, was working on the 97th floor of the North Tower for insurance firm Marsh and McLennan — a job she had started less than a fortnight earlier — when the plane hit. Her husband Charles Wolf, a trained pilot, watched the jet fly low over their apartment building at 08:06 EDT and knew immediately something was wrong: "I knew instantly when it flew over my building that it was a twin engine jet at full throttle. I knew it so well that I called the FBI and told them… 'That was no accident, that was deliberate'." Charles later led a campaign to ensure victims' families and dependants were fairly compensated — and met the FBI agent who took his call, who told him he was "the first person to get us on to the fact that that was not an accident". Of his wife, he said: "She didn't know it was going to happen and she never felt a thing." David Morgan, president of the New York St David's Society, was due to be in the South Tower — the second to be struck — that morning: "Thank God I didn't go there that morning." He lost fellow society members in the attacks: "Not one of them came out. It's hard to think I had worked with people, known them socially… and on that dreadful day it all came to an end." Photographer Dan Callister, originally from Ruthin, was also in the city.

Michael Sheen says his offer to meet the first minister over toxic pollution claims "was not taken up". Giving evidence to the Commons Welsh Affairs Select Committee, the actor said he contacted Rhun ap Iorwerth ahead of the BBC documentary Buried with Michael Sheen, offering a pre-broadcast screening: "I thought it was a very good opportunity for the first minister… to be able to get on board with this, to look for solutions. Unfortunately, that offer was not taken up." Sheen — appearing alongside investigative journalists Lucy Taylor and Dan Ashby — urged MPs to back a national testing programme for historic toxic dumps, after high levels of cancer-causing PCBs were found in soil samples and in the blood of people living near sites linked to chemical giant Monsanto. There are 12 locations in Wales that were sites of concern for campaigner Douglas Gowan, and the journalists found elevated PCB levels at 13 sites where Monsanto was thought to have been dumping. He said councils are "terrified of making a judgement" on whether land is contaminated, because clean-up costs could bankrupt them: "The burden has to be taken off the councils" — calling for national, "if not a multinational", funding for testing and clean-ups. Eastman Chemical Company, responsible for the legacy production, was asked to comment; the Welsh government said addressing contaminated land was "a key priority". One MP later suggested to the BBC there was confusion over whether the Welsh or UK government would be responsible for any testing.

Mystery over Reform UK councillor's quiet return to Independent. Cllr Jonathan Millard (Ebbw Vale South) joined Reform UK in December 2025 with great fanfare, becoming the party's first councillor in Blaenau Gwent — but his own website now says he resigned from Reform in August 2026 and is again an "Unaligned Independent Councillor". No public announcement appears to have been made. A political source in Blaenau Gwent told Nation.Cymru the decision may be linked to his failure to secure a place on Reform's candidate list for the May 2026 Senedd election in the Blaenau Gwent/Caerphilly/Rhymney super constituency. Millard said in March that his future in the party was uncertain after he was not selected.

Nearly one in three would vote for Welsh independence, new poll finds. A Survation poll for YesCymru — 1,023 people aged 16+ in Wales, conducted online between 13 and 24 August — puts support for independence at 32%, against 68% who would vote No once undecided and refused respondents are removed. The detail shows markedly higher support among younger voters, with Yes ahead in all three age groups below 45: 59% among 18-24s, 54% among 25-34s and 57% among 35-44s. Support falls to 27% among both 45-54s and 55-64s, and to 15% among the over-65s. By region, support was highest in South Wales West (42%) and South Wales Central (39%), then North Wales (33%), Mid and West Wales (26%) and South Wales East (25%). Asked for the biggest barrier to independence, 46% cited economic fears, 20% government and political factors, 15% did not know, and 5% each said British identity or public opposition. YesCymru chair Rob Hughes said the figures showed a majority was "within reach" but that the campaign had to "build confidence in Wales' economic future" — part of its push for a referendum by 2032.

🏥 Health

Call for health board chief executive to quit over Ysbyty Glan Clwyd A&E. Healthcare Inspectorate Wales visited the emergency department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Denbighshire, in May and said it needed "significant improvements"; a follow-up in August found progress — on staff wellbeing, patient flow and paediatric governance — but said challenges remain and "enhanced oversight" is still needed. HIW identified "several immediate assurance concerns that required urgent action", relating to waiting area safety, paediatric emergency care, medicines and equipment management and safeguarding oversight. Patients, relatives and carers gave 660 survey responses highlighting long waiting times, overcrowding and issues of privacy and dignity, while also praising staff compassion. Welsh Conservative leader Darren Millar, who represents the area, said "people are dying" and that Betsi Cadwaladr chief executive Carol Shillabeer was "clearly not able to do the job" and should step down; he said managers who make life-changing errors should "never be allowed to work in the NHS again". Shillabeer apologised "unreservedly" to patients who did not "receive the care they deserve", said all required actions were under way, and cited "significant and longstanding systemic issues" compounding pressure on a constantly busy department.

150+ turn out to fight closure of a village GP surgery. More than 150 people attended a public meeting in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant on Thursday evening to discuss the future of the village surgery, after the practice applied to the local health board to close it — saying the current funding model is not enough to keep it open. The surgery is part of the Llanfyllin Group practice, with surgeries in Llanfyllin and Llandysilio (Four Crosses) near Welshpool, serving about 11,500 patients, of whom more than 2,000 are in Llanrhaeadr. It also dispenses medicines because there is no pharmacy in the area — more than 8,000 prescriptions were dispensed from Llanrhaeadr last year — and the other surgeries are six and 13 miles away. Practice manager Juliet Sagar said the funding formula across Wales "does not adequately recognise the costs of running three surgeries in an area of 460 square miles with no other medical provider"; community council chair Sarah Lewis called the surgery "a vital lifeline" for an ageing village with "very limited" public transport, warning the effect of closure "on the whole community would be very serious".

Residents fear more flooding if quarry blasting restarts. People living in homes hit by flooding after a planned blast at a quarry near Cardiff say they are "anxious" it could happen again soon. 15 properties on Heol Berry in Gwaelod-y-garth were affected when the blast sent rocks down and water pouring down the mountainside on 30 July; several families had to leave, and Kevin Duncan — who expects to be out of his home for up to a year while repairs are done — said: "Can you imagine the worry this has caused? Everyone is extremely anxious." Asked by BBC Cymru whether blasts would resume this month, Breedon Group, which owns Ffynnon Taf quarry, said it had met residents and other stakeholders and would "continue to work directly with those stakeholders as we move forward with the next steps". Duncan said the company told him any future blasts would take place in a lower section some distance from the quarry: "They don't need one piece to start crumbling. All we're saying is: delay the blasting. Let an independent person the community trusts come in and explain to us what is happening." An initial HSE investigation concluded July's flooding was "a single event" and that no tunnels or underground spaces had been "compromised". Councillor Andrea Gibson wants the council to impose a temporary halt on blasting until the HSE's full findings are published; Cardiff Council said it continues to support the village's recovery.

Unprecedented legal challenge over Eryri waterfall hydro scheme. Cymdeithas Eryri has applied for a judicial review of Eryri National Park Authority's decision to approve a hydroelectric scheme at Rhaeadr y Cwm, above Llan Ffestiniog — the first time in the society's 60-year history it has legally challenged a park authority planning decision. The authority's planning committee approved the scheme by eight votes to seven on 24 June, with permission formally issued on 15 July. Proposed by Bala-based MED Dafydd, it would generate up to 600kW — enough for around 700 homes — via a small dam on the Afon Cynfal and a pipe diverting water from the waterfall. Campaigners say almost 70% of the water could be diverted at times, affecting the waterfall's appearance, sound and surroundings; the falls sit within the Cwm Cynfal SSSI, part of the wider Migneint-Arenig-Dduallt Special Area of Conservation. More than 1,700 representations were received, around 1,590 of them objections. Cymdeithas Eryri says it supports renewable energy in principle but is challenging the way the decision was made.

Cardiff Council faces a £45m budget gap next year. Wales' largest council estimates it will cost an extra £60.3 million to maintain services at current levels in 2027/28, with only £15.3m of additional funding currently expected — leaving a projected shortfall of £45 million, £1.2m higher than the council estimated in March. If the forecast holds, the authority says it would need to find around £34.6 million of savings. Of the £60.3m cost increase, £22.4m is attributed to inflation (commissioned care, home-to-school transport and education placements), £17.4m to workforce costs, £11.3m to rising and more complex demand, and £9.2m to capital financing and other pressures — with education and social services, including Additional Learning Needs, accounting for much of the strain. There is significant uncertainty over the Welsh Government settlement: the council assumes a 2% rise in general funding, but every one percentage point is worth almost £7.2m. Leader Chris Weaver said the council's priority would be protecting services residents rely on, while finance cabinet member Leonora Thomson warned "efficiencies alone are unlikely to be sufficient".

338 homes planned for Rhoose despite infrastructure concerns. Persimmon Homes' plans for 338 homes on land north of the railway line in Rhoose go before Vale of Glamorgan Council's planning committee on 17 September, with officers recommending approval subject to conditions and developer contributions. Mostly two-storey houses with some three-storey apartment blocks, the scheme has drawn 55 public objections. Councillor Samantha Campbell said: "I fully understand that we need to progress but there is a firm difference between progress and overdevelopment… We have oversubscribed doctors and dental practices, very limited and dated community facilities, massively overpopulated roads, limited shopping facilities, and very poor public transport." Rhoose had a population of 6,778 at the last census.

Gang member jailed over £320,000 car theft campaign. Dziugas Klinavicius was sentenced to three years and nine months on Thursday for his part in a series of high-value car thefts across north Wales and Cheshire. Between January and March 2025 the Lithuanian organised crime group targeted Mercedes and BMW vehicles with keyless relay attacks, using GPS signal jammers, duct tape over CCTV and doorbell cameras, and cloned number plates. Eight vehicles were stolen and attempts made on five more, with the cars valued at around £320,000 — targeting Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Penrhyn Bay, Abergele, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Northwich and Crewe. DNA recovered from duct tape left on one victim's camera, telecommunications evidence and encrypted chat messages identified Klinavicius and Tomas Politovas. After a Mercedes stolen in Llandudno on 7 March 2025 was traced to Norfolk, officers raided an industrial unit near King's Lynn and found it partially stripped and palletised for export; three men there — Rytis Ardavicius (46 weeks), Arnas Jankauskas and Stasys Venckus (27 months each) — were later deported.

Eryri deaths inquest: 999 call "wasn't escalated as it should have been". An inquest has heard how two friends who died on a mountain ridge in extreme winter conditions tried to call 999. Eddie Hill, 20, and Jayden Long, 19, both from Dereham, Norfolk, were found by mountain rescuers on Crib y Ddysgl — a ridge less than a mile north of Yr Wyddfa's summit — on 19 February. Philip Benbow of Llanberis Mountain Rescue told Gwynedd Coroner's Court that North Wales Police alerted him on the evening of 18 February to an abandoned 999 call made three hours earlier, later traced to Long's phone; there was not enough information about the call's location or nature to deploy immediately, and the search was continued at first light. Detective Constable James Lloyd said that although control room staff tried to make further contact, "the incident wasn't escalated as it should have been", and that the force had learned to pass similar calls to rescuers sooner. Long's father, Stephen, called the situation "incompetence". Assistant coroner Sarah Riley recorded conclusions of accident — the men died of multiple traumatic injuries from falling on steep terrain — and said she would send a prevention-of-future-deaths report to North Wales Police, which has 56 days to respond. The pair had spiked footwear but no crampons or ice axes, despite signage warning that routes including nearby Crib Goch are an "extreme scramble".

Iconic Eryri building Tŷ Hyll to be sold at auction. One of Eryri's best-known buildings, Tŷ Hyll on the A5 between Capel Curig and Betws-y-coed, is up for sale with a guide price of £199,000 — with the auction set for 26 September. The conservation charity Cymdeithas Eryri, which bought the building almost 40 years ago, says the decision to sell "was not an easy one" but that it needs to "redirect resources" to other priorities; it says all proceeds will be reinvested locally, into the landscape, wildlife and people of Eryri, and not towards its day-to-day running costs. Tŷ Hyll has served as an office, a café and a honeybee centre. Café manager Jane Davies, who has offered to buy the building (the sale must go through public auction), said: "It breaks my heart. I don't want it closed to the public… they aren't stipulating what happens to the house, and that worries me most." Hundreds have signed a petition urging the society to reconsider; the society says it will encourage prospective buyers to offer visitor experiences.

Bronze Age gold bracelet found near Bala declared treasure. A late Bronze Age gold bracelet — around 3,000 years old and 92.8% gold, 6.9% silver and 1.28% copper — has been declared treasure after being found with a metal detector in a field near Llanuwchllyn. Idris Thomas made the find in May on land belonging to farmer Geraint Edwards: "I was just out for the day and the siren went off after about 20 minutes. I thought it was another bit of tin foil at first, and then I just saw a flash of gold… I was completely shocked, over the moon — the only thing I'd found before was a silver coin — I was shaking!" Museums have expressed an interest in acquiring the bracelet, declared treasure at a hearing in Caernarfon.

The man given a fortnight to live who now helps thousands to get sober. Chris Rees, a builder from Llanmor near Pwllheli, was told by doctors at Ysbyty Gwynedd he had two weeks to live and left hospital, as he put it, "to go home to die" — after more than 15 years addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs and drinking around 400 units a week. He had suffered blood cancer, countless blood clots and chronic pancreatitis, and his weight fell to five and a half stone. He quit drinking and threw his prescription medication away. Alcoholics Anonymous didn't suit him, so — after a neighbour who worked in mental health suggested a different support group — he set up the Sober Ninjas Facebook group, which has run for eight years and now has around 2,500 members worldwide. He has been nominated for a BBC Cymru Wales Make a Difference Award in the volunteer category: "I'm quite chuffed, to tell the truth — I wasn't expecting anything like this."

Disabled teenager "failed most" in airport chaos. Josephine Rogers, 19, from Newport, says people with additional needs are disproportionately affected during major travel disruption, after the special assistance she needed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam was unavailable when her flight home was among more than 150 cancelled amid UK-wide air traffic control problems on Tuesday. She was part of a group of 13 young people who spent eight hours stuck in the airport after a cultural exchange in Finland; Rogers, who has fibromyalgia and works with a mental health charity, said she waited half an hour at a desk with no one coming and had to queue at automated gates while the additional needs lane was closed. "After years of promises and laws to do better for disabled people it seems like no progress has been made. When the system fails, it fails us even more." Her luggage, containing medication, was still missing two days after she got home — helped by Taith and Mind in Gwent. Schiphol said it understood "how frustrating" the situation was and urged anyone whose assistance fell short of expectations to complain.

Hundreds of thousands of cockroaches found in Pontypridd house. Pest controller Gareth Davies described a four-bedroom shared house in Pontypridd — occupied by student nurses — as "absolutely horrendous", the worst infestation he has seen in 38 years: "We must have hoovered up hundreds of thousands of cockroaches. It was like something out of a Stephen King film." The German cockroaches were clustering in fridge seals, plug sockets, toasters and microwaves, and emerged from conduit pipes as insecticide was applied; treatment was repeated weekly for five weeks. Davies said his company has handled hundreds of cockroach jobs in the past 12 months, compared with a handful a year five years ago, with warmer weather thought to be speeding up breeding.
