🔴 Top Story: Ray Gravell would have been 75 today — daughters remember "so much love in the house"

The daughters of Ray Gravell have spoken about the father they lost as Wales marks what would have been the rugby great's 75th birthday. Gravell, one of Welsh rugby's most beloved figures, would have turned 75 on Saturday 12 September. He won 23 caps for Wales, toured with the British & Irish Lions, became a hero at the Scarlets, and was inducted into the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame in July this year. His eldest daughter Manon, who was 12 when she lost her father in 2007, said receiving the Hall of Fame award on his behalf alongside her sister Gwenan and their mother Mari was "an unbelievable experience". Gwenan added: "It's a lovely feeling that people still want to talk about and celebrate Dad." Speaking about the award ceremony — attended by his friends and rugby figures including Delme Thomas, Roy Bergiers, Gareth Jenkins and Anthony Buchanan — Manon said: "As a daughter of someone, it's surreal. I was joking with Mum on the way and saying 'Dad would have made a joke of how long it's taken — that would have been his acceptance speech.'" Gwenan, who was nine when he died, remembers his mischievous streak: "He was quite naughty. I've seen clips of him interviewing people and always cracking jokes — I'm like that too." Gwenan said she came to know her father as an adult through other people's stories: "I was nine when we lost Dad, so I've come to know Dad as an adult through other people's stories — I love hearing them. I don't have many memories, but what I do remember is the love he showed towards me and Manon. When the four of us were at home — Mum, Dad, me and Manon — we were laughing all the time. There was so much love in the house and I was so lucky to have that." Manon, now a mother herself to Elis Raymond, three, and Nansi, one, recalled his last birthday in September 2007, when the family bought him a wallet: "I said 'Oh, the wallet is biodegradable,' and he said 'Well there you go, we could eat the wallet if everything goes to pot!' He was so quick." Gravell's passion for rugby lives on through Manon's family: "We go for the midday game when we can, and Elis always gives a high-five to the statue of Dad on the way in. Elis knows exactly who Grandad is and has started playing rugby. He was getting ready to play one day and told Steff: 'I'm going to play rugby like Grandad.' He also absolutely loves Dafydd Iwan, which is strange because no one has played Dafydd Iwan to him! He loves Yma o Hyd like Dad did." Gwenan now lives in Swansea and works for the Scarlets' marketing team; Manon works in health for the Welsh Government and lives in Pen-bre; their mother Mari still lives at the family home in Mynydd-y-Garreg. Beyond rugby, Gravell was a radio presenter, rugby commentator, actor and Keeper of the Sword (Ceidwad y Cledd) in the Gorsedd of the National Eisteddfod.

🏛️ Politics & Senedd

Reform's Cai Parry-Jones won't rule out leaving the Senedd for Westminster. The Reform UK MS for Caerdydd Ffynnon Tâf — his party's shadow finance minister — was asked on the BBC Radio Cymru politics podcast Gwleidydda whether he would consider standing at a general election if one were called early. "I don't know yet," he said. "I'm not sure… I haven't really thought about it to be honest, I've just been locked in with what's happening in the Senedd." The next general election must be called by August 2029, but the prime minister can call one at any time — and the remarks come less than six months after Parry-Jones was first elected to the Senedd. Reform UK declined to comment. On the same programme, Parry-Jones — who is his party's spokesperson on finance and government efficiency — failed to name a single education policy Reform would support. Asked what Reform would do to "raise up Wales" on education, he said: "Those are the kind of questions that are best for Helen Jenner rather than me… I'm trying to remember what the policies were… um, I think… yeah, no." It came a day after PISA results showed Wales falling further behind the rest of the UK, and in the week the Met Police opened a criminal investigation into allegations Reform UK broke the law over foreign donations. Parry-Jones said of the video at the centre of the row: "When you look at the video, it's been edited hard, very hard", and confirmed he had not watched it in full. He pointed to Plaid Cymru's own £29,000 Electoral Commission fine in 2020 for failing to declare nearly £500,000 in donations, and said Reform would happily work with Plaid Cymru — or tell them to "jog on" — and would "definitely" work with the Welsh Government to pass a budget if its "red lines" were met, with talks with finance cabinet minister Elin Jones expected next week.

Welsh Government partners with Cosine to advance Welsh-language AI — but an expert warns Wales is "always a step behind". The Welsh Government has announced a partnership with sovereign AI company Cosine to improve how its Lumen AI model understands and processes Welsh, providing data, resources and expertise. Dr Neil Mac Parthalain, senior lecturer and AI researcher at Aberystwyth University, called it "a step in the right direction in principle" but warned: "We've always been a step behind with the Welsh language and technology — maybe AI development like this will push things forward." He added: "The only problem, of course, is that by giving this information to another company, it's out of our hands then," and raised concerns about scams using AI-generated Welsh-language images and videos. Education and Welsh Language cabinet minister Anna Brychan said: "The Welsh language belongs to us all… It's important that Welsh is fully represented in the technologies people use to access information, learn, work and communicate." Enterprise minister Adam Price said the work would strengthen Wales' long-term AI position. Cosine CEO Alistair Pullen said the partnership "helps us build Lumen on a stronger foundation".

Plaid accuses Reform of defending a funding system that leaves Wales "high and dry". The row follows a Facebook video in which Reform's shadow finance minister Cai Parry-Jones argued that replacing the Barnett formula with a needs-based system, and devolving the Crown Estate and rail, would leave the Welsh Government around £1.41bn a year worse off — equivalent, he claimed, to a 50% rise in council tax. Plaid's Nick Carter (Caerdydd Ffynon Tâf) said Reform "still argues that Wales should know its place and sit down and be quiet when Westminster leaves us high and dry", and that Parry-Jones should "spend more time advising his own party on financial matters after their track record of six-figure dodgy donations and Russian bribes". Nation.Cymru notes the relative-need estimates cited appeared to be based on data nearly two decades old. Assets in Wales covered by the Crown Estate were valued at £290m for 2025/26, with the value expected to rise sharply as Celtic Sea offshore wind expands; Scotland benefited by £113m in 2023–24 from its devolved Crown Estate.

🏥 Health

"Unacceptable" nine-month pathology delay before a mother's terminal cancer diagnosis. A mum-of-three died from cancer after a nine-month delay in receiving pathology test results, meaning she did not get potentially life-extending treatment in time, an inquest has heard. Sarah Catherine Daniels died at home in Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taf, aged 43, on 15 April 2025. She first saw her GP aged 39 in October 2021 with "gynaecological symptoms of concern"; an ultrasound on 21 October 2021 found a mass on one of her ovaries and she was referred to gynaecology at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. She chose a less invasive procedure over a full hysterectomy; the mass was removed in February 2022 and, although it did not have the expected appearance of cancer, samples were sent to pathology. Coroner Rachel Knight told Pontypridd Coroners' Court the pathology department was "completely overwhelmed by demand" after Covid and found the delay "unacceptable", reducing the chance of successful chemotherapy. Biomedical scientist Martin Ludlam said workload rose sharply in late 2021 and 2022 with routine appointments paused in the pandemic, and that by the end of 2022 the board was no longer dealing with a backlog partly through outsourcing, still used today: "This case has highlighted that we can never go back to a position where we have a routine backlog again." Consultant Mohamed Khalifa said Sarah "lost time" in her treatment and that her Risk of Malignancy Index had been "incorrectly reassuring"; Dr Kein Yim of Velindre said that by March 2025 she was too frail for further chemotherapy. Her husband Ben described how she was told her condition was terminal with a 12-month life expectancy, sought private treatment at the Christie in Manchester, had 10 rounds of chemotherapy at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, got the all clear, and then saw cancer return. "She never gave up," he said. The medical cause of death was recorded as "metastatic signet ring adenocarcinoma of the appendix"; the coroner returned a narrative conclusion and apologised to the family.

Conservationists bid to save the tiny snail found in only one lake in the UK. A snail found in just one British lake has been dubbed as precious as an Egyptian artefact, as several zoos set up "ark populations" using creatures bred in a back garden in Ceredigion. Myxas glutinosa — the glutinous snail — is no bigger than a fingertip, named for the gooey mantle covering its delicate, gold-flecked brown shell, with comically large antennae that conservationist Ian Hughes likens to "big floppy ears". Once widespread in UK waters, it has been driven to extinction across England by polluted water and habitat loss; its last known refuge is Llyn Tegid in Eryri National Park — Wales' largest natural lake. Since 2014 Hughes has waded into the lake under licence from Natural Resources Wales, designing and installing small concrete shelters, and set up a captive population in a greenhouse at his home in Llanarth. He has about 2,000 snails in homemade tanks — "at one point we'd got more snails in our garden than have ever been seen in the wild". After four months, eggs were spotted: "Nobody had knowingly seen their eggs before we made that breakthrough," he said. His wife Kerry and sons Jake, George and Ben are all involved — "You've got to have a certain mindset to walk out into a freezing cold lake in the middle of January," said Ben, 27. The family is now working with BIAZA to relocate snails to Dudley and Chester zoos, Wingham Wildlife Park in Kent, Askham Bryan in York and Longleat, as part of a £60m UK government-backed scheme to protect rare species, with the Freshwater Habitats Trust searching for release sites. "With fingers and toes crossed, I'd like to think we could achieve that within three years," said BIAZA's Nicky Needham.

Consultation on new protections for seals and hares opens 21 September. The four-week consultation asks for views on making it an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb seals — the only regularly occurring marine mammal in Welsh waters without specific protection from disturbance — and introducing a close season for hares from 1 February to 30 September each year, during which it would be illegal to injure, take or kill them. Wales has important grey seal breeding sites including Angel Bay near Llandudno, where seals rest, moult and raise pups; unlike other game species, hares in Wales currently have no protected breeding season. Rural resilience minister Llyr Gruffydd said: "We want everyone to be able to enjoy Wales's spectacular wildlife. The question is how we ensure they can do so responsibly." The consultation forms part of the Wild Animal Welfare White Paper and runs from 21 September to 19 October 2026.

More than 100 Bluetongue cases confirmed in Wales as keepers are urged to vaccinate. Cases continue to rise in Wales and across Great Britain; testing and reporting requirements in Wales remain unchanged and keepers must report suspect cases to APHA immediately. Up to three samples per farm can be taken for testing, paid for by the Welsh Government. Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales Dr Richard Irvine said vaccination is "the only viable long-term measure", urging keepers to order vaccine now; manufacturers and wholesalers are importing additional stock from Northern Ireland and Europe, with work ongoing through the Bluetongue Vaccine Taskforce. Minister Llyr Gruffydd said Wales' position on testing and reporting "has not changed".

Farmers urged to show nature-friendly farming can be profitable. A two-day event near Brecon this weekend will argue it is possible to "break the stigma" and show that farming for nature can go hand in hand with "resilient" and "profitable" businesses. Cynefin, run by the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) Cymru, features talks, demonstrations and farm walks on livestock management, the importance of trees and hedgerows, animal health and welfare, and helping threatened species such as the curlew flourish. NFFN Cymru manager Rhys Evans, who farms at Rhyd-y-main near Dolgellau, said most speakers are farmers themselves "so you hear first-hand how it benefits their businesses", and that the big task ahead is "combining the environmental benefits with the economic benefits". Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Carla Evans said creating a space where "tradition meets innovative ideas" would strengthen links between people, farming and nature.

⚖️ Crime & Justice

Jealous husband who strangled his wife in bed found guilty of murder. Michael Davies, 58, killed Tracey Davies, 48, at their home on Bryn Terrace in Cefn Cribwr, Bridgend, after wrongly suspecting she was going to leave him. He had previously admitted manslaughter but denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility; he was found guilty by a jury at Newport Crown Court on Friday and will be sentenced next month. The court heard Davies was jealous over his wife working with male colleagues and was £30,000 in debt. In the months before the killing he was working in logistics in Abu Dhabi and became increasingly depressed and anxious living alone in a flat without windows, worried about repaying a bank loan and repair costs. "I have no idea what I was doing… I had no relation to my hands," he told the court. "There was no plan, no thought, I couldn't stop myself. I remember Tracey struggling and grabbing my arms." After killing his wife he took an overdose and stabbed himself in the throat and chest; the couple were found by a family member and paramedics. The couple met at a walking club and married on 1 March 2024. Tracey's family described her as "a cherished sister, a loyal friend, and a radiant presence whose laughter could light up any room".

Electric motorbike rider jailed after crashing into a police officer while fleeing arrest. Jake Fernandes, 25, from Caerau, Cardiff, was sentenced to 21 months — serving at least 40% in custody — for five offences after a crash on Amroth Road, Caerau, at about 20:30 on 11 August. He had been riding a Sur-Ron "e-bike" dangerously, without insurance or a licence, and was found with 40 snap bags of cannabis and £735 in cash, with the remainder of a cannabis production factory found at his home. Prosecutor Tim Lewis said Fernandes "appeared to taunt" officers before trying to get away and then crashed into PC Hamer, whose injuries required hospital treatment. Recorder Robin Rouch said the officer being "hit with some force" made the outcome "more luck than judgement", and disqualified Fernandes from driving for 21 months with an advanced re-test required.

🎭 Culture & Heritage

Caernarfon's Teras Segontiwm marks 200 years. A row of around 30 late-Georgian houses overlooking the Afon Seiont and the slate quay is celebrating its bicentenary, with events, lectures and old photographs on show at Capel Ebeneser, itself 200 years old this year. Resident Nia Davies-Williams, who has lived on the terrace for 11 years, said the houses were considered luxurious when built: "They were gentleman's houses at the time. Many of the residents were ship captains and they looked out over the slate quay, which would have been extremely busy in 1826." She added: "I often think about what the view in front of me would have been 200 years ago." Lectures by Merfyn Jones and Ifor ap Glyn are planned, and the street was packed in 1969 for the investiture of Prince Charles at the castle, when some owners charged high prices for B&B.

Wrexham hit for six at West Ham. West Ham returned to the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a 6-0 win over Wrexham at the London Stadium — their fourth league win in a row, with six different scorers. Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring on 28 minutes, Joel Piroe made it two before the break, and Konstantinos Mavropanos, Taty Castellanos, Mohamadou Kante and Manor Solomon all struck in the second half. Wrexham's closest effort came when Mavropanos cleared off the line from George Dobson. The match was played in front of the 60,000-plus crowd that made it the biggest attendance in Wrexham's history, surpassing the 54,096 who watched them face Liverpool at Anfield in January 1970. Boss Phil Parkinson said afterwards: "I need to think long and hard."

💛 Feel-Good & Community

Cardiff gets its first Young Farmers' Club. A brand-new Clwb Ffermwyr Ifanc has been established — not in the countryside, but in the middle of Cardiff. The club was approved on Thursday night by the Sir Morgannwg county committee, and aims to offer "a vibrant community for young people from rural backgrounds" and anyone else who wants to try what the movement offers. "With so many members moving to live in the capital, instead of losing members why not give them the chance to continue, but in Cardiff?" said club chair Dafydd James, who added that many members miss "the community we have at home through the Young Farmers". The movement is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and establishing a Cardiff club was one of the ambitions of Mared Rand Jones, chief executive of Wales YFC: "Our movement is built on community, friendship, developing skills and giving young people opportunities — and those principles are just as relevant in the middle of Cardiff as they are in rural communities across Wales."

Mid Wales farmer dropped into an abandoned American town for Channel 4's new survival series. Ioan Humphreys, 33, from Carno, was left in a deserted town with no food, water, electricity or tools for Apocalypse, which starts on Sunday. The series is filmed on a site usually used to train the military, with two groups of strangers competing for limited resources; temperatures dropped as low as -12C. Humphreys, who took over the family farm at 20 when his father became ill, had "zero idea" what he was getting into and was only told it was a survival show about a month before filming. "We got dropped into the survival situation with nothing, only what we were wearing," he said. He said his farming background helped — he manages six staff and was confident starting fires — and that the experience made him reconsider how much time he spends working rather than with his two young children: "What's the point in working forever and missing your children grow up?" Apocalypse starts on Channel 4 at 21:00 BST on Sunday.

Caernarfon Rugby Club wins UK Rugby Kitchen of the Year. The club beat hundreds of entrants to take the title — and a year's supply of chips. Keith Parry, 84, who has volunteered at the club for more than 50 years, said the news came as "a shock" but was "fantastic". The club feeds around 50 youth players on Friday evenings and hundreds of children and young people over the weekend, going through "about 15 to 25 bags of chips every weekend", serving pizzas, hot dogs, jacket potatoes, pasta bake, chilli con carne and bolognese: "It's something we can make in bulk, you see." The judging panel included French chef and former rugby player Pierre Koffmann, who said "running a rugby kitchen at 84 years old is amazing" and called Parry and the club "truly worthy winners".
