at six — the nurse accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder ten others gives evidence for the first time at her trial. after the men won the national leak and promotion back to the english believe 15 years after the relegation whilst the women secure promotion to wales�*s top women's league. wrexham have of course gain fame around the world because of the clubs star owners. that is ryan reynolds and rob mcelhinney. they are in the city tonight and are expected tojoin the are in the city tonight and are expected to join the players on an open top bus tour of the city. that parade do to get under way in around 15 minutes�* time. and you can see there is the stadium from our halley — telly of wrexham and there is the

bus and you can see the club actually going onto the bus as wrexham prepare to leave at around 615 they are going to go around the city. we understand it is

walled dock of courtroom number seven. well, today, that changed. she moved across to the witness box and it 87 years in the football league and they have just gotten themselves back from being a team and a 15 year team and throughout england and wales, and now known globally because of the achievements that they have been able to not only do

on the football field but clearly, off of it is well of those high—profile owners that have been talking about and you can since the size of not only the achievement but also the growing sense of the club as well because if you need three buses to take the team and all the attending people wanted, and it's always a good sign and is in the premier league and the champions league that we've shown atrophy parades in the past, that's exactly the logistical effort that we went through but you're right, fascinating story for us here and the world. give us a sense of how big this is where the league and those of us who might not follow football that much. this those of us who might not follow football that much.— football that much. this is the sto of football that much. this is the story of the — football that much. this is the story of the non-league - football that much. this is the story of the non-league team | story of the non—league team becoming a league team. they've been in the 50 or so people know the premier league in three divisions under that and nationally knowing wrexham in the early 90s, used to be a story of divisions one through

four but in the premier league took over 1992 and no team since the formation of the premier league has been but the premier league and non—league team and so, the sum prescribed desires to take wrexham to the premier league, it would be the first time in the history of that top—flight that that would in fact happen. so this grounds the orders international stadium in the world and the hotel and the documentary associated with this team went over very well just outside the corner of the race course and derelict, he was condemned but since buying the club, the two owners have been able to do that but also by the stadium which means they'll be able to level that and rebuild it in the past available from tier 5 into the bottom run of the football league and tier 4 and the football league and tier 4 and the famous old football pyramid.

went back to hollywood stars and brought in and out important will it be if they do with their trying to do to get to the premier league? they would need a lot more of it. he spent a lot of money and a lot of money for this level of football. this is a non—league outfit and in doing so, they have spent a great deal of money particularly because they've had to try and attract the kind of player to make sure of the promotion from most divisions above. if your tonga player in two years three and four of the football pyramid that they should be playing in tier 5, you pyramid that they should be playing in tier5, you might pyramid that they should be playing in tier 5, you might have to pay both the premium for them to buy them because they're in the leaks above but also to trade to convince them in terms of their wages and pictures of their top goal who had just been promoted into league1 with cambridge and decided to turn down that contract for playing in the third tier of english football

and playing for wrexham, clearly a premium is involved in that and they've event you do that with a number of people based on what was in the national league and they've had quite a few significant things to it. the goal keeper, former manchester united player, the goalkeepers come back to a team that they have gone on loan at while another player in the early stages of his career has contributed a great amount of the regular goalkeeper was injured in allowing them to play and make a significant contribution and saving the optimal here and there and in paying the premium, they've gotten themselves into the football league but are going to need to continue to do that because as they look upwards, they're going to see 72 league teams and there was a lot of competition and there was a lot of competition and even though it will be for a lot of players, quite the idea to go and play for wrexham, it will be a lot

of money that is to be shelved out to get them out of that period. i to get them out of that period. i want to take us to the live street and wales correspondent is there and what is the atmosphere like? and went to the fans, what do they

say about those hollywood stars? they of the town and there interested people here —— they are the talk of the town and are heroes. this type of vector was stored not just pride but how people feel about what they come from and when around the world, talking about their home cities with a bit of pride and after many difficult years, their investment is seen is a huge benefit for this place. in speaking to the landlord, orthe for this place. in speaking to the landlord, or the places that features prominently in the programme, he is talking about the money coming through and all bus—loads of americans almost every day and out oneself is at the turf at the race course, it gives you a sense of what the buzz is about this place. sense of what the buzz is about this lace. , ., ., ., sense of what the buzz is about this

wrexham fan who is following the celebration parade in first, on a personal level, how emotional are you at this?— personal level, how emotional are you at this? quite emotional, have to sa . you at this? quite emotional, have to say- last — you at this? quite emotional, have to say. last week _ you at this? quite emotional, have to say. last week when _ you at this? quite emotional, have to say. last week when i'm - you at this? quite emotional, have to say. last week when i'm not - you at this? quite emotional, have | to say. last week when i'm not one to get emotional on these things but being here for so long and this is special and just to see that, thousands of people just here and it's got to be over 20,000 people here today. it's got to be over 20,000 people here today-— here today. you have followed wrexham _ here today. you have followed wrexham for _ here today. you have followed wrexham for quite _ here today. you have followed wrexham for quite a _ here today. you have followed wrexham for quite a while - here today. you have followed wrexham for quite a while and there've been some ups and downs. yes, and i think most fans would agree probably more downs than ups in recent years and is in special and those were appropriate fan, this

is a club where the fans, they hand over their mortgage shares and kids in their pyjamas and going out to see them. it's been a lot of fights to save this club over the years and thankfully we just reaping the rewards the supporters and galvanising the community and a fan base and yes, what i've seen, ijust had to say, it is the combination of it is been such a tumultuous period but also it is great to see the fans joining us. i but also it is great to see the fans “oininr us. ~ .., , but also it is great to see the fans joining us-— joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus— joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus it _ joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus it is _ joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus it is about _ joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus it is about to - joining us. i think we can see rob on the bus it is about to leave - joining us. i think we can see rob| on the bus it is about to leave and so the two stars in the city for this moment and what do you, as a fan, think about that hollywood money coming into wrexham? you know,

i think that doing — money coming into wrexham? you know, i think that doing very _ money coming into wrexham? you know, i think that doing very well _ money coming into wrexham? you know, i think that doing very well with _ i think that doing very well with people involved and interesting to be invested in the club and there was a little bit of scepticism at first until we found out what was because unfortunately, fan ownership and doing a fantasticjob fortunately, there was a feeling thatis fortunately, there was a feeling that is going be very difficult to progress where this club, well thought should be in this year,. to of the clips. glass _ thought should be in this year,. to of the clips. glass ceiling - thought should be in this year,. to of the clips. glass ceiling there - of the clips. glass ceiling there and it'sjust — of the clips. glass ceiling there and it'sjust been _ of the clips. glass ceiling there and it'sjust been incredible - of the clips. glass ceiling there | and it'sjust been incredible and and it's just been incredible and it's just been, a and it's just been incredible and it'sjust been, a great and it's just been incredible and it's just been, a great opportunity. enjoy the opportunities and we will let you go. that is thomas lewis was the sports reporter with north wales live, we have been talking about

those hollywood stars and they sat down with the welsh broadcaster and ryan told them as we been hearing, they've been having the sites in the premier league stabile ultimately, the business, you wanted to continue to grow and you do not want to lose money but i don't think any of us are in this to make money either so, it'sjust about are in this to make money either so, it's just about growing the best possible club and finding value in any value we can find. whether it's any value we can find. whether its financial or emotional, it can be indistinguishable. and we all talked before about the high hopes of getting to the premiership, is that something that you think you're still aiming for?— something that you think you're| still aiming for?_ not still aiming for? yes, 100%. not even a still aiming for? yes, 10096. not even a pause? _ still aiming for? yes, 10096. not even a pause? i _ still aiming for? yes, 10096. not even a pause? i do _ still aiming for? yes, 10096. not even a pause? i do not - still aiming for? yes, 10096. not i even a pause? i do not understand wh , it's even a pause? i do not understand

need you get a sense of how important this is to wrexham not just die—hard fans but people have been here all these years and they've been outside the football league and they've had a lot of ups and downs and perhaps more downs than ups but people just basking the school at the at the moment the team is punching well above its weight. and we can see pictures of the buses ready to leave and we think they'll start very shortly, and we've noticed some youngsters and it seems they have a real age range of their fans from the very young right to the old and it is something they are following the city. what's remarkable is you have a lot of fans who were not even boring the last time they were in the league. . and then you have got generations

and of grandparents and great—grandparents who have been through thick and fed. so remembering the good and bad times. we can see the live pictures now, three buses have left the stadium. just leaving the stadium so i think it will be a little while until he gets you probably there will be a lot of fans trying to get waves in selfies and see who was on the bus with the players. we talked a lot about the two hollywood owners. you have been talking to local people, how important are they to them

invictus said they want gareth play and, the skies the limit. and hopefully, the fans will have this instead of the long run. i hopefully, the fans will have this instead of the long run.- hopefully, the fans will have this instead of the long run. i want to brina instead of the long run. i want to bring hugh _ instead of the long run. i want to bring hugh ferris _ instead of the long run. i want to bring hugh ferris back— instead of the long run. i want to bring hugh ferris back in - instead of the long run. i want to bring hugh ferris back in the - instead of the long run. i want to j bring hugh ferris back in the bbc sport centre. they mention gareth bail there, the two owners of been mentioning him and do you think you would ever come out of retirement to play for wrexham? i would ever come out of retirement to play for wrexham?— play for wrexham? i think that might be a little bit — play for wrexham? i think that might be a little bit of — play for wrexham? i think that might be a little bit of the _ play for wrexham? i think that might be a little bit of the cheeky _ be a little bit of the cheeky request that was made in the state they are serious about food request made to the former wales captain gareth bale. and i think you can see

smiles on theirfaces gareth bale. and i think you can see smiles on their faces and indeed, may be suggesting that gareth bale might want to come out of retirement for one final year to play for your two having the last decade at real madrid. but such is the nature of hope but also ambition and perhaps ambition might not be quite at gareth bale levels but the ambition is generally to be able to save the players, maybe not like micro tuba players, maybe not like micro tuba players were two or three divisions higher, this is a project which is worth playing and there is association of documentaries which might elevate your brand, derisive, something like that when talking about sport in the future as well. and the wrexham play next season and potentially higher as things go on and wejust heard potentially higher as things go on and we just heard from rob and ryan and it's interesting that i refer to them as rob and ryan for ease and

also, they are known by theirfirst names in the town. they are genuine and their hopes and ambitions because they appreciate the value it has for the local community and in fact if that means trying to get gareth bale said no thanks, i'd rather have a round of golf, if it is trying to do that, making a few headlines along the way, i don't think the regret that any great extent. ., ., extent. you mentioned the documentary _ extent. you mentioned the documentary and - extent. you mentioned the documentary and i - extent. you mentioned the documentary and i was - extent. you mentioned the - documentary and i was reading that they are going at a preseason tour and they're going to play and chelsea and man you, that does not happen normally to that type of team, does it? it is not what you know it's who, and far as preseason tours, and setting them up, if you're in a position we can perhaps each one of those groups of teams who often say to themselves, and the four east to maybe even who often say to themselves, and the four east to maybe eve— four east to maybe even australia, to be in the _

four east to maybe even australia, to be in the tour— four east to maybe even australia, to be in the tour of— four east to maybe even australia, to be in the tour of north - four east to maybe even australia, to be in the tour of north america | to be in the tour of north america in chelsea, they're on a tour of north america to be a part of their preseason plans that may be of wrexham are out there for legitimate reasons and they have hollywood honours the press they might be able to squeeze in a game against the member with manchester united cool and they have hollywood honours the press they might be able to squeeze in a game against the member of manchester united announced it and surrounding ferguson in chelsea, and as they start their league preseason when it comes around this summer. seems like that is absolutely right, only wrexham can do in this great climate because the links in the times they are by their owners to perhaps skit and a few doors that might be pushed open elsewhere. this might be pushed open elsewhere. as you can see from the helicopter, you can see the red dragon mascot and i do love him. at the front of the bus and it is notjust the men, wrexham, their women's team have done amazingly well this season as well.

they reached the heights of welsh women's football and it's a joyous celebration taking place in front of these 20,000 people along the streets of wrexham and it is one of those things that rob mcelhenney and ryan reynolds will be focusing on as they look at what they can do to grow the club because it is fascinating to see that having a women's football club is not necessarily been a necessity, it has not been a financial peck upon which to build a football club even manchester united were on top of women super week did not have a women's team in the mid to thousands. and there is no necessary coupling of the two, the men's and women's teams in the national league in the welsh women's league for the women, they are able to synergize those two and it will be something

that rob and ryan will be able to continue to try and promote as the months and years go ahead and is both matthew and thomas was saying earlier on, it is a long road to the premier week and do not be discouraged by the fact that if it is a wrexham fan wanted to follow the story for the first time, it is a long road and many have traded and it's financially risky to try and propel a team from another reaches of the football league all the way up of the football league all the way up to the premier league but if they say that is their ambition, that having a strong foundation for the men's and women's teams but also the community, not least the financial imperative also that it will be for rob mcelhenney and ryan reynolds. it is with dreaming about at this early stage of this journey. bud is with dreaming about at this early stage of this journey.— stage of this “ourney. and football fans always — stage of this journey. and football fans always dream, _ stage of this journey. and football fans always dream, look - stage of this journey. and football fans always dream, look at - stage of this journey. and football fans always dream, look at this i fans always dream, look at this pictures of the three buses that are going to do around trip from the

stadium through the city centre about three miles and will take a couple of hours of course part of was saying it we been mentioning welcome to wrexham series that has an disney plus, translated around the world, i want to bring in maxine hughes, the welsh translator for the series and she is driving us in the united states and first of all, before we talk about the documentary, i want your emotional feeling as we see pictures of the bus heading around wrexham. i can't believe it, these _ bus heading around wrexham. i can't believe it, these images _ bus heading around wrexham. i can't believe it, these images of— bus heading around wrexham. i té�*u'ii believe it, these images of wrexham and was going on in the town of wrexham, and fills us with so much pride but also a bit ofjealousy because i'm stuck over here but it seems i never thought i would see this and most people would think they'd seen seems like today it is just a fairy tale story in a community coming together of

hollywood joining the community and the results will be a singular today and it's been absolutely wonderful and it's been absolutely wonderful and i think the whole of wales today as part of what is happening. haifa as part of what is happening. how did ou as part of what is happening. how did you get _ as part of what is happening. how did you get involved in the series in the first place? bud did you get involved in the series in the first place?— did you get involved in the series in the first place? and based over the us when _ in the first place? and based over the us when they're _ in the first place? and based over the us when they're starting - in the first place? and based over the us when they're starting to i in the first place? and based over. the us when they're starting to work on the documentary, the call for a welsh translator there's not too many of us here in the us and so, i got involved that when i did the casting for the role of the most translator and i went from there and after that, translator and i went from there and afterthat, i translator and i went from there and after that, i was asked to do some various roles in the documentary itself and since then, i did a few thing works with robin ryan and i caught up with them in los angeles and they were extremely excited about today and it's been great, it's been different for my dayjob, that's for sure. what are they like in real life?

them to invest in the community and local charities as they have done has been fantastic for the team, i think everybody feels very grateful and really respects them for that. here's a question, my welsh friend always tries to teach me some welsh and i'm not very good at it at all, so have you been trying to teach them some welsh?— so have you been trying to teach them some welsh? we've done lots of welsh, rob them some welsh? we've done lots of welsh. rob has— them some welsh? we've done lots of welsh, rob has particularly _ them some welsh? we've done lots of welsh, rob has particularly been - welsh, rob has particularly been learning welsh over the last few years. the first time i met rob and ryan, rob sang me the welsh national anthem he learned off his own back. so there's definitely a bit of an investment there to learn the language, i think that's why people in wales have fallen in love with them so much because it's notjust been about wrexham and football, but the culture, the country and the language. and they're still making an effort, they said "wrexham forever" and everybody in wales loved hearing that. find forever" and everybody in wales loved hearing that.— forever" and everybody in wales loved hearing that. and there's a second season _ loved hearing that. and there's a second season coming _

actual parade, which is being streamed live on the bbc website right now, and i want to bring you back in. we were talking about the hollywood money, do you think this is the start of other clubs looking towards hollywood to try and get that investment in a different way for their club? that investment in a different way fortheir club? it that investment in a different way for their club?— for their club? it may well be the start of that _ for their club? it may well be the start of that direction _ for their club? it may well be the start of that direction if - for their club? it may well be the start of that direction if you - for their club? it may well be the start of that direction if you like. | start of that direction if you like. there's been a lot of interest in americans dust from americans in premier league teams. but there has also been interest in america owners — we've heard words like scepticism and suspicion over our coverage in the last half hour or so. why would high—profile rich american people want to invest in lower league english football clubs? it's such a strange thing. the thing is, but those clubs offer is something that american owners can't get, for all

the glitz and glamour of the high—profile us ports, you have to buy into it. the most recent one went for $6 million —— $6 billion. they have lots of money but they aren't in the sort of market, so there's usually high—stakes. there's usually high—sta kes. instead, there's usually high—stakes. instead, they want a version of the american dream but not in america, using english and welsh football. so what they are able to do is they might go to a lower league team like wrexham or chilling them, there are others among the bottom few tears, tagging, portsmouth, ipswich, layton owner dutch layton 0rient all have american owners. what they can do is make that bigger and take them all the way to the top. you can't do that in american sports, so it's fascinating to see more and more of them with either football experience or business experience, and now

hollywood star dust,
