Champions League: Extra police powers plan for Cardiff final

Police are likely to apply for extra powers to stop and search people at this weekend's Champions League final.

About 170,000 people are expected in Cardiff over four days for a festival surrounding Saturday's match between Real Madrid and Juventus.

South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Richard Lewis said the force could invoke temporary powers allowing officers to search anyone without the usual reasonable grounds.
