Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's top story:

:00:03.:00:06.

Their classroom doubles up as their canteen - �1.4 billion for new

:00:06.:00:14.

school buildings, but the improvements will take year.

:00:14.:00:16.

Here in Carmarthenshire, they're pleased with the cash, but have

:00:16.:00:21.

councils really got the money to make the sums add up?

:00:21.:00:24.

Our other headlines tonight: They were all failed by the system

:00:24.:00:26.

- tonight, why merging vulnerable children's services with adults' is

:00:26.:00:31.

facing a barrage of criticism. Also tonight:

:00:31.:00:35.

A bridge too far - how come a bog standard build like this over-ran

:00:35.:00:41.

its budget by �1 million? Good evening. In tonight's sport:

:00:41.:00:44.

Gareth Bale won last year. Who'll be crowned this year's BBC Wales

:00:44.:00:48.

Sports Personality of the Year? Meet the five contenders. They need

:00:48.:00:58.
:00:58.:01:07.

Good evening. Almost �1.4 billion will be spent on new school

:01:07.:01:10.

building projects in Wales by 2020, the Welsh Government has announced

:01:10.:01:17.

tonight. Half of that money will be supplied by councils. The Welsh

:01:17.:01:20.

Government says its plans are ambitious and realistic. But

:01:21.:01:22.

concerns have been expressed tonight about councils finding

:01:23.:01:26.

their share of the cost and the length of time it'll take to

:01:26.:01:29.

refurbish schools. Our education correspondent Ciaran Jenkins has

:01:30.:01:38.

more. For these pupils, for Welsh

:01:38.:01:42.

Government's biggest ever school building programme can't come soon

:01:42.:01:48.

enough. At Carreg Hirfaen School in Carmarthenshire, space is so short,

:01:48.:01:54.

this classroom doubles up as the canteen. My hope is that we get the

:01:54.:01:57.

funding from the Welsh Assembly and Carmarthenshire can invest it in a

:01:58.:02:02.

new building for us with a hall, playground facilities, classrooms

:02:02.:02:07.

which our modern. But good news for the school and the other schools

:02:07.:02:11.

considered to be in a critical condition by councils across the

:02:11.:02:16.

country. Six months later than planned, the Welsh Government

:02:16.:02:23.

finally announced funding to back its 21st century schools programmes.

:02:23.:02:28.

�1.4 billion will be spent in total. �700 million will come from

:02:28.:02:33.

councils are. The other half from the government itself out. But the

:02:33.:02:37.

timetable is longer and are later than planned. They will get under

:02:37.:02:47.
:02:47.:02:50.

way sometime between 2014 and 2020. Not 2012-the 20 15th as intended.

:02:50.:02:53.

It was always going to be a challenge and we recognise that

:02:53.:02:57.

these are difficult circumstances with the capital available to the

:02:57.:03:01.

Welsh Government which has been reduced. The plan is to build many

:03:01.:03:07.

more schools like Ysgol y Felin in Llanelli. The man who ran the 21st

:03:07.:03:10.

century schools programme until last year said the funding is to be

:03:10.:03:15.

welcomed if councils can really find the money they have promised.

:03:15.:03:20.

I don't think that councils have all the money that is needed to

:03:20.:03:24.

carry out this programme and fortunately because the original

:03:24.:03:28.

plan that we conceived was that the local authorities would have to

:03:28.:03:34.

find about 30 % of the costs of the projects, leaving 70 % to be funded

:03:34.:03:38.

by the Welsh Government. I do fear when it comes to the presentation

:03:38.:03:42.

of their business cases, which is needed to draw down funding, that

:03:42.:03:46.

some of them will not be able to find that much money. We are

:03:46.:03:50.

talking about a lot of money for new schools and refurbishment of

:03:50.:03:55.

schools. This is not just about building new schools. Some schools

:03:55.:04:03.

will also be shut. In some areas, those plans have been highly

:04:03.:04:09.

controversial. A new super school for three-18-year-old in this area

:04:09.:04:14.

will now be pushed through by Ceredigion council. While

:04:14.:04:19.

reorganisation plans in Flintshire have also drawn protests. It is a

:04:19.:04:27.

worry as a parent of a child going to school in Wales. They have got

:04:28.:04:33.

to be up to scratch. There is not enough space for them all. Is the

:04:33.:04:36.

school does not look appealing, the parents are not going to send their

:04:36.:04:40.

children there. Meanwhile there has been opposition to Neath Port

:04:40.:04:46.

Talbot Council's plans to amalgamate Cwrt Sart School on a

:04:46.:04:52.

new site with two other schools are. Why is it necessary to close an

:04:52.:04:56.

excellent school. It is not a failing school, it is a first-class

:04:56.:05:02.

goal giving first class education opportunities. Ysgol y Felin has

:05:02.:05:06.

only been officially open a week. The peoples are still getting to

:05:06.:05:12.

grips with the new state-of-the-art facilities. Pupils in Carreg

:05:12.:05:17.

Hirfaen School now know their new school will be built sometimes --

:05:17.:05:27.
:05:27.:05:28.

sometimes Scone. This school, Ysgol y Felin, is a

:05:28.:05:33.

brilliant example of a 21st century school. I am standing in a brand

:05:33.:05:36.

new infants block and look at the sort of computers they are going to

:05:36.:05:40.

be able to learn on. Something many of us would appreciate in our homes.

:05:40.:05:45.

I am going to be talking to the head teacher, Helen Wynne, and

:05:45.:05:49.

Councillor Gwynne Wooldridge who is from Carmarthenshire. How are you a

:05:49.:05:53.

little bit different here to what schools have had in the past?

:05:53.:05:57.

project started two years ago culminating in this fabulous

:05:57.:06:03.

building. We have got an individual learning centre which also opens

:06:03.:06:07.

its doors to the community so we feel we are providing the community

:06:07.:06:12.

with an establishment they can bring their children in and we can

:06:12.:06:15.

break -- build a relationship from an early age with the parents.

:06:15.:06:19.

difference does it make to have these kind of facilities? I can sue

:06:19.:06:26.

have got a projector. We are very fortunate that every classroom has

:06:26.:06:31.

the benefit of having an interactive white board and we also

:06:31.:06:35.

have an IT suite. Looking to the future, we are looking at

:06:35.:06:38.

developing the Education and computers is part of that. We feel

:06:38.:06:42.

the pleasures and the experience they have from these machines will

:06:43.:06:48.

benefit them in their education. Councillor Gwynne Wooldridge, you

:06:48.:06:52.

have got the money you wanted, but you have still got to find almost

:06:52.:06:56.

�44 million to push this through. Where are you going to find that

:06:56.:07:05.

money? The important thing is a child's health, well-being and

:07:05.:07:10.

education. We will find the money. It is good news today and I am

:07:10.:07:14.

delighted the Welsh Government has given the money. Will you have to

:07:14.:07:20.

borrow more? We will have to look at potential borrowing,

:07:20.:07:24.

efficiencies and maybe selling some of the assets we have. But we will

:07:24.:07:28.

have the money because the future of our children is very important.

:07:28.:07:33.

Selling assets, it to you mean closing the schools?

:07:33.:07:40.

necessarily, because obviously we will be looking over the next eight

:07:40.:07:44.

years at building new schools but also bringing schools to get up. We

:07:44.:07:52.

have got to look at the conditions of the schools. Half -- we will do

:07:52.:07:56.

everything in the interests of the children and their parents. This

:07:56.:08:01.

new funding takes us up to 2020 and all the councils across Wales have

:08:01.:08:05.

got the money they wanted. But it will mean that they have got to

:08:05.:08:09.

find that extra money and some schools will have to wait even

:08:09.:08:16.

longer, perhaps until 2020, to get any funding they need.

:08:16.:08:18.

The Children's Commissioner and Older People's Commissioner have

:08:18.:08:21.

criticised Welsh Government plans to combine the protection of

:08:21.:08:26.

vulnerable children and adults. Local authorities say they are

:08:26.:08:28.

unconvinced by the proposals to have six new boards ensuring the

:08:28.:08:38.
:08:38.:08:39.

right care. Here's our political reporter Aled ap Dafydd.

:08:39.:08:43.

Aaron Gilbert died of brain damage when he was 13 months old. He had

:08:43.:08:47.

been beaten so badly he had 50 separate injuries to his head and

:08:47.:08:52.

body. This 16-year-old girl had been exposed to drugs throughout

:08:52.:08:56.

her short life. Her mother and half sister were jailed for manslaughter

:08:56.:09:02.

in 2008 because they allowed her to die. Brian Dodd was 72 when he was

:09:02.:09:07.

stabbed to death by a schizophrenic patient. All three cases have one

:09:07.:09:12.

thing in common. The victim or the perpetrator was a vulnerable child

:09:12.:09:16.

or adult. The last government and castles are at loggerheads over how

:09:17.:09:20.

to safeguard vulnerable children and adults. The government

:09:20.:09:25.

announced in October it was scrapping the current 22 local

:09:25.:09:29.

safeguarding children boards. Now they will be merged into six and,

:09:29.:09:33.

for the first time, they will have responsibility to protect the

:09:33.:09:37.

vulnerable adults as well. The First Minister and the Children's

:09:37.:09:40.

Commissioner were standing side by side today but not seeing eye to

:09:40.:09:45.

eye. We have made lots of progress on child protection over the last

:09:45.:09:48.

few years and I did raise an issue at the Forum at a time when we were

:09:48.:09:51.

looking at this and I raised some doubts about whether you could have

:09:52.:09:56.

a child and adult board combined. In terms of safeguarding children

:09:56.:10:00.

and the rapport adults, they are very different world indeed. Very

:10:00.:10:06.

different processes. Whoever sits on that Newport, if they do have

:10:06.:10:09.

responsibility for children and vulnerable adults, they have to

:10:10.:10:13.

recognise there are two distinct systems in place. What I would not

:10:13.:10:17.

want to see is the progress we have made with children and in people

:10:17.:10:21.

being jeopardised by focus on vulnerable adults. His views are

:10:21.:10:25.

shared by the older people's Commissioner who says protecting

:10:25.:10:35.

adults is different to protecting children. What is important is that

:10:35.:10:40.

both are afforded the level of support and the opportunity to

:10:40.:10:45.

ensure that those protection mechanisms work. Welsh local

:10:45.:10:49.

government representatives met the deputy minister for children and

:10:49.:10:53.

social services this afternoon to voice concerns. They also want

:10:53.:10:57.

separate provision for children and adults and eight or nine boards

:10:57.:11:01.

rather than the six being proposed. Any change will need legislation.

:11:01.:11:05.

The Deputy Minister had to have it in place by 2013. In a statement,

:11:05.:11:10.

she said only when there is sufficient evidence to support

:11:10.:11:13.

their integration will steps be taken for the children and adult's

:11:13.:11:17.

boards to merge. 75 jobs are going at an engineering

:11:17.:11:20.

firm in Blackwood because of a downturn in sales. Hawker Siddley

:11:20.:11:22.

Switchgear manufactures circuit breaker technology for factories,

:11:22.:11:26.

wind farms and rail companies like London Underground. 35 staff will

:11:26.:11:29.

be made redundant and around 40 temporary workers will go before

:11:29.:11:33.

Christmas. Cardiff Airport will be laying on

:11:33.:11:37.

direct flights to Orlando from next summer with tour operator Cosmos.

:11:38.:11:40.

The airport has had a mixed year after budget airline Vueling

:11:40.:11:43.

announced it would introduce flights to Barcelona, but BMI Baby

:11:43.:11:48.

pulled out of Cardiff. The airport has also faced criticism for its

:11:48.:11:53.

fall in passenger numbers over the last four years.

:11:53.:11:56.

A woman who claimed she could barely walk but was filmed speeding

:11:56.:12:00.

down a water slide has been jailed for benefit fraud. Tina Attanasio,

:12:00.:12:03.

from Cardiff, was caught on holiday on family video walking normally

:12:03.:12:07.

while claiming the highest rate of disability benefit. She was jailed

:12:07.:12:17.
:12:17.:12:20.

for ten weeks. I think this was a case where she odyssey wasn't as

:12:20.:12:23.

disabled as she told us on her application form up. She was

:12:23.:12:26.

claiming benefits for the more severely disabled people and I

:12:26.:12:32.

think it does show how wrong this is today. These benefits should be

:12:32.:12:34.

reserved for people who really deserve them.

:12:34.:12:37.

A multi-million pound expansion to a hi-tech medical research centre

:12:37.:12:40.

at Swansea University has been opened by the First Minister. The

:12:40.:12:43.

Institute of Life Science investigates a range of conditions

:12:43.:12:46.

- cancer, obesity and diabetes. Today, Prime Minister David Cameron

:12:46.:12:51.

said Britain could become a world leader in medical research.

:12:51.:12:55.

The new �28 million building today got the seal of approval. And even

:12:55.:13:03.

a signature on the wall from First The Welsh Government has invested

:13:03.:13:13.

�10 million along with cash from the European Union. We are standing

:13:13.:13:18.

in a scanning room. There is also an MRI scanner and these will be

:13:18.:13:22.

used for medical research. Looking into things like cancer trials

:13:22.:13:26.

where the state of the art scanner here can look at the very finest

:13:26.:13:29.

detail of tumours and so forth which will be very important in

:13:29.:13:33.

monitoring the effects of a new cancer drugs. The new building will

:13:33.:13:37.

also house a Centre for Nanohealth, where size is everything. Basically,

:13:37.:13:40.

the aim is to make technical equipment as small as possible and,

:13:40.:13:43.

because it's more sensitive, it's better at picking up the early

:13:43.:13:49.

signs of disease. This is an example of a hand-held prototype

:13:49.:13:55.

device that can be used to measure prostate cancer for an individual.

:13:55.:14:00.

What somebody would do is, they would place a you are in sample on

:14:00.:14:05.

this tiny chip here and then this read-out would tell them whether

:14:06.:14:11.

the markets associated with prostate cancer in their body and

:14:11.:14:18.

what concentration. Would this meet again in a hospital? No, this is

:14:18.:14:23.

the benefit of this kind of technology. You can do this at home

:14:23.:14:27.

or in a doctor's surgery. The patient can take control of their

:14:27.:14:30.

healthcare. This is the second phase of The Institute of Life

:14:30.:14:34.

Science. The first opened four years ago with laboratories and a

:14:34.:14:40.

supercomputer centre dedicated to medical research. This building

:14:40.:14:44.

will not only be used for medical research, it will also offer space

:14:44.:14:49.

for businesses within the health sector and the aim is to have the

:14:49.:14:51.

university, the NHS and the business sector all working under

:14:51.:14:56.

one roof and through that it is hoped it will create more than 650

:14:56.:15:00.

jobs within the next few years. That's all that's left is for the

:15:00.:15:10.
:15:10.:15:12.

final touches to be made before it Much more to come before 7 o'clock.

:15:12.:15:19.

Swansea City came a cropper at Blackburn. We look back at the

:15:19.:15:27.

weekend's football and we have a full weather forecast coming up.

:15:27.:15:30.

A new bridge in Llandudno has cost almost �1 million more than

:15:30.:15:33.

intended. Maesdu Bridge provides one of the main routes into the

:15:33.:15:37.

town. The old bridge needed replacing. A new one should have

:15:37.:15:42.

cost just under �3 million. But the bill kept going up.

:15:42.:15:45.

There's nothing particularly special about Maesdu Bridge. It

:15:45.:15:50.

won't be winning any architectural or design awards. It's just a road

:15:50.:15:54.

bridge over a railway line. But it does seem to have brought Conwy

:15:54.:15:58.

Council nothing but bother. There were problems with this bridge from

:15:58.:16:01.

start to finish. The initial consultant's report wildly

:16:01.:16:05.

underestimated the cost. The bridge deck had to be redesigned, the

:16:05.:16:15.
:16:15.:16:16.

foundations made stronger. It even opened late. It is a steel deck on

:16:16.:16:21.

reinforced concrete. They obviously had problems with the foundations

:16:21.:16:24.

with it being close to the sea so they had to redesign the

:16:24.:16:27.

foundations. As a construction consultant Gary Willetts soon

:16:27.:16:30.

cottoned on that the project wasn't going according to plan. As a Conwy

:16:30.:16:33.

council-tax payer, he was also concerned about how his money was

:16:33.:16:36.

being spent. He asked the council for a breakdown of the bridge's

:16:36.:16:39.

costs. The council only supplied them after the Information

:16:39.:16:44.

Commissioner intervened. Gary Willetts was horrified by what he

:16:44.:16:54.
:16:54.:16:55.

found. An overspend of �900,000. The one word you could use is a

:16:55.:16:58.

shambles. The council tax payer has lost a lot of street lighting

:16:58.:17:03.

improvements, road maintenance, and other work, to cover the cost of

:17:03.:17:09.

this bridge. That the bridge cost more than it should have comes as

:17:09.:17:12.

no surprise to local people. They've lived with the saga all

:17:12.:17:16.

along. The size of the overspend does raise some eyebrows. Alison

:17:16.:17:19.

Kelly says the bridge is a major topic of conversation among her

:17:19.:17:27.

customers. A lot of people come men and they are shocked by the vast

:17:27.:17:35.

amount of money spent. It has changed several times. Everybody is

:17:35.:17:40.

talking about it. When I first moved here, it was definitely the

:17:40.:17:44.

cost and how long it had been going on for. Conwy council says it can't

:17:44.:17:47.

comment at the moment because the affair is in the hands of its

:17:47.:17:50.

lawyers. The authority has already asked the design consultants to

:17:50.:17:53.

repay some of their fees. It's also carried out an internal

:17:53.:17:57.

investigation into what went wrong with Maesdu Bridge.

:17:57.:17:59.

Swansea City captain Garry Monk says his side dominated the game,

:17:59.:18:07.

at the Premier League strugglers Blackburn Rovers despite losing 4-2.

:18:07.:18:11.

They are still looking for their first away win. Meanwhile, Cardiff

:18:11.:18:18.

City beat Birmingham to close the gap on the Championship top two.

:18:18.:18:22.

Swansea City are still waiting for their first win away. They conceded

:18:22.:18:32.
:18:32.:18:33.

four goals against Blackburn. There was an equaliser from Swansea. Any

:18:33.:18:40.

hope evaporated after the sending- off. Then there's tackle in the box

:18:40.:18:49.

saw the referee pointing to the spot. Our disappointment was we

:18:49.:18:56.

felt we let them off the hook. We were so good at times. We had

:18:56.:19:00.

possession and we have the creativity so to concede those

:19:00.:19:05.

goals was frustrating. With the top two sides both losing

:19:05.:19:10.

in the championship, Cardiff City closed the gap on the promotion

:19:10.:19:15.

places with a 1-0 win against Birmingham. The job was made easier

:19:15.:19:24.

after Kenny Miller was brought down outside the box. Cardiff City are

:19:24.:19:30.

unbeaten in ten games. We have had a lot of games recently

:19:30.:19:35.

but we are still up there. It is very well done by the boys. We have

:19:35.:19:43.

a bit of time off. So we can focus on Saturday. Wrexham produced an

:19:43.:19:51.

upset in the FA Cup beating a side two weeks above them. A tougher

:19:51.:19:56.

trip a weight in the third round when they play Brighton. Swansea

:19:56.:20:06.
:20:06.:20:07.

will pay Barnsley. Newport County leapfrogs Lincoln City in the Blue

:20:07.:20:13.

Square Premier League after winning 1-0.

:20:13.:20:19.

And one week after Gary Speed's death, his father joined several

:20:19.:20:26.

team mates at Goodison Park for a minute uproars to remember his son.

:20:26.:20:32.

At Elland Road, where he won the title in 1982, Gary Speed's widow

:20:32.:20:37.

and her two sons joined thousands of Leeds players to celebrate a

:20:37.:20:47.
:20:47.:20:47.

life cut short. There could be a new member of

:20:47.:20:52.

Wales squad to land a French deal. Of the Dragons say that

:20:52.:20:57.

negotiations are ongoing. Shane Williams says he's been offered a

:20:57.:21:01.

one-year extension to his current contract at the Ospreys. The winger,

:21:01.:21:04.

who played his final international game for Wales at the weekend, has

:21:04.:21:12.

18 months left at the Region. A week today, this year's BBC Cymru
