Wrong winner book event defended

The organisers of the Wales Book of the Year have defended the event after the wrong winner was announced during the award ceremony.
Author Tom Bullough said the event was "amateur" after Culture Minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas mistakenly named him as the recipient of the £10,000 prize.
He also said it had been a "national embarrassment".

But Academi said the mistake was "human error" and the minister had apologised to him and winner Dannie Abse.
The literature promotion agency said the card from which the minister read included the names of the winner and the runners-up.
But the format clearly showed the winner in large bold type and had been used successfully on seven previous occasions, it said.
