They knock on our doors, preaching peace and good will. But now victims of a South Wales sex abuser claim his crimes were covered up by the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Welsh-educated US soldier Bradley Manning has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Manning, 25, was convicted last month of espionage, theft and other charges in the biggest leak of classified information in American history.

But he was acquitted of aiding the enemy - the most serious of the charges against him.

Manning spent four years at Tasker Milward VC School in Haverfordwest.

A Welsh play about Bradley Manning, the American soldier who passed military secrets to WikiLeaks, has won an award for drama.

'The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning', produced by National Theatre Wales, has been given the first James Tait Black Prize for Drama.

Manning spent four years at school in Haverfordwest.

The £10,000 award is the first of a new drama category in Britain's oldest literary awards. It was launched last year by the University of Edinburgh.

Tim Price said: "I am thrilled to be recognised by such a prestigious award, and honoured to be chosen as winner from such a fantastic shortlist of plays - that it is the first time a category for drama has been added to the James Tait Black Prizes is even more exciting."

The play is currently being performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

A venue which sells itself as "New York's only Welsh pub" is facing a large fine, accused of trying to uphold its distinctive culture through discrimination.

Longbow Pub & Pantry put out an advert for a new bartender which said: "being British definitely works in your favour."

The New York City Commission on Human Rights said the pub has violated discrimination law, and it could now have to pay a fine of $7,500 (£4,800).

Owner Michael Colbert, who is originally from Wales, told New York television station PIX 11 "we are looking for people who understand British culture."
