Welcome to Wales Today. Bogus doctor Reg Gill is jailed for | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
eight years. He wrongly told women they had cancer and that he could | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
cure it, before sexually assaulting them. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
When he said I had cancer, I was shocked, but he also said in the | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
:00:29. | :00:36. | ||
same breath that he could cure it Also in the programme tonight: | :00:36. | :00:39. | |

Prime Minister says it'll safeguard jobs at Broughton where the wings | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
are made. Wales striker Ched Evans goes on | :00:49. | :00:56. | |

Good evening. He told vulnerable women they had cancer and that he | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
could cure them. Tonight, 77-year- old Reg Gill from Carmarthenshire | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
is starting an eight year jail sentence after being found guilty | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
of sexual assault and fraud. The judge described him as despicable. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Jenny Rees was in court. This is the man who sexually | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
assaulted two women who came to him for treatment at his alternative | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
medical centre, run from his home in Carmarthenshire. Judith Green | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
was one of those victims. The 60- year-old from Risca has waived her | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
right to anonymity. Reg Gill told her that she had cancer and he | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:55. | ||
could treat her. Neither was true. At the time I was quite unwell so | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
when he said I had cancer I was shocked, but he also said in the | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
same breath that he could cure it within two days. One moment he | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
absolutely shatters you and the next he says within two days he can | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
cure that cancer. He was not at all concerned about it but he did say | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
it had migrated. Today, 77-year-old Reg Gill was sentenced to eight | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
years in jail for nine counts of sexual assault and two of fraud. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
His 35-year-old wife, Leila, was given six months for one charge of | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
It all came to light when BBC Wales' X Ray programme went to Reg | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Gill's home in Cwmduad after hearing he was offering cancer | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
:02:47. | :02:49. | ||
This won't be Gill's first time in prison. In 2004, he was sentenced | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
to 12 months for selling a machine like this one - it's an IFAS, or | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
high frequency therapy machine, and isn't licensed for medical | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
treatment. He sold it to Stephen Hall from Flintshire who had been | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer and was told the machine | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
could cure it. Mr Gill also advised him to stop taking his morphine. He | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
died some weeks later. Their influence was great for the simple | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
reason he gave him help. Help is the most valuable commodity you | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
have got when you have been given a death sentence. He was a hostage to | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
his treatment, Stephen. As other victims of him, they are hooked, | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
and they don't or can't see that they are being had. Until it's too | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
:03:56. | :03:57. | ||
late. Reg Gale took advantage of their reliance on him. The judge | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
said he had humiliated them which was a gross betrayal of their trust. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Both Reg and Leila Gill will have to sign the sex offenders register | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
:04:16. | :04:16. | ||
and the equipment and medication they used will be destroyed. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
It's a deal which the Prime Minister says will safeguard jobs | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
in Wales. The Indonesian airline Garuda has placed an order for a | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
fleet of Airbus jets. The wings are made at Broughton in Flintshire. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
The deal for eleven Airbus A330s is worth �326 million. It was | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
officially signed by David Cameron in Jakarta where he's on a trade | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
mission to South East Asia. Nick Palit reports. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Prime Minister David Cameron flew into Jakarta to fly the flag for | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
British business. Britain sees this country of 17,000 islands as a huge | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
untapped market and today's �326 million order for Airbus was signed | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
:04:54. | :04:57. | ||
in the presence of Mr Cameron and Signing the deal, Airbus' | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Executive-Vice-President Tom Williams said it was a boost for | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Airbus in Flintshire where the wings are designed and assembled. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Mr Cameron said it was a vote of confidence in Britain's | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
:05:16. | :05:16. | ||
manufacturing base. I have brought the strongest delegation, world | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
leading British companies, ever to visit South East Asia, and it is | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
that energy that has already made Britain one of the largest foreign | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
investment into Indonesia. It is our great businesses that will | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
generate the economic dynamism that we need. The A330 is an immensely | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
popular aircraft. Airbus produces eight sets of wings for the plane | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
each month at the Broughton plant. This Garuda order only amounts to | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
around ond and a half months' work, but industry experts believe it's | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
still important for the well-being of the company. Although it is an | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
older design a craft, it is very efficient and everybody is aware of | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
things like the new aircraft which always makes the news. But it is | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
important that the bread-and-butter sales of the other designs continue | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
as well. It is important for the whole company to make sure that | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
they get sales, particularly in the Far East area where they are trying | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
to break into that market. At the other end of Wales, this site in | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Port Talbot is under discussion in another trade mission to Asia. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
First Minister Carwyn Jones is in India for three days and will meet | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
the owners of Tata Steel on Friday. They're likely to discuss the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
potential for a new drift mine here that would supply coal for their | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
blast furnaces - a development which could create hundreds of jobs. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
A private care home has been forced to close after a court ruled its | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
residents could be at risk. Hafan Tywi in Ferryside was shut down | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
last Thursday after the intervention of the Welsh | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Government, on the advice of the Care and Social Services | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Inspectorate Wales. The inspectorate's regional director | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
says the home's urgent closure was triggered by concerns over its | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
financial viability. Cardiff Council has been criticised | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
for the way it handled a controversial planning application | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
for an energy from waste power station. The Public Services | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Ombudsman ruled that the council should have made sure the | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
application was publicised to people living in high rise flats | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
overlooking the site. But it found that the error wouldn't have | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
affected the final outcome of the planning application. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Plaid Cymru have launched their local election manifesto, arguing | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
that strong and sustainable communities are a step towards | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
independence. The party say their councillors would campaign to | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
protect public services from spending cuts and boost the economy | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
by ensuring councils buy local goods. But they argue the election | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
on May 3rd shouldn't be seen as a referendum on their new leader, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Leanne Wood. From Ammanford, our Political Editor Betsan Powys | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
reports. Don't rely on reckless UK | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
government. Don't expect too much from a do-nothing Labour government | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
in Cardiff. In a factory that has grown from small beginnings, the | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Plaid Cymru message relied on the party that puts Welsh Communities | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
First. But when it comes to predictions, they are critical. | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Holding their ground will be challenging enough. We have put | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
together an alternative programme. We want to help stimulate | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
communities and build from the grassroots up. We hope people will | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
like that message and join us in wanting to do that. We are not | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
under any illusion that we are going to get help from outside. If | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
we're going to have a successful communities, we are going to have | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
to build those communities ourselves. On offer, a pledge to | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
make sure councils by local goods. They will boost the economy by | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
providing paid apprenticeships and training schemes. They also say | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
their councillors would campaign to save local services. It is barely a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
month since Plaid Cymru elected their new leader but Leanne Wood is | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
getting an early taste of campaigning and facing an early | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
test of the sort of message that won her the leadership. Her | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
supporters say her strength is on the streets, persuading people that | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Conservative and Liberal Democrat austerity cuts are not the only way, | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
and that in Wales, Labour is not the sole alternative. We have got a | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
fresh new leader, stacks of new members in the party, and we'll | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
have the alternative in Wales to the stale London-based parties who | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
were not interested in Wales. senior figures talking terms of | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
longer term successful the party but they know that what they | :09:43. | :09:52. | |
achieve in three weeks' time will be seen as a sign of things to come. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
There's a suggestion tonight that Russia's state nuclear company | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
wants to become involved in building a new nuclear power | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
station at Wylfa on Anglesey. It's thought that Rosatom, which was | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
responsible for building the Chernobyl plant, turned its | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
attentions to the UK when the German firms, E.on and RWE, pulled | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
out of their Horizon project two weeks ago. They were planning to | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
develop new reactors in North Wales and at Oldbury on the River Severn. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
Joining me now is Malcolm Grimston, a nuclear expert from the Chatham | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
House think tank. So what do we know about Rosatom? It was formed | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
as a state-owned company as recently as 2007 from the old | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
energy ministry. It is responsible for nuclear energy in Russia. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Therefore, it is responsible for what is the largest exporting | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
nuclear business in the world at present. A lot of their more modern | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
design have been exported to a number of countries, particularly | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
in central and eastern Europe. This is their first venture into Western | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
Europe. Why would they be keen on a site like Wylfa? They have a very | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
deep pockets. The United Kingdom desperately needs to build power | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
stations of some description and the way the new market reforms are | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
set up, there is a reasonable prospect that anyone investing in | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the UK would make a reasonable return in the long term. Since | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Russia is one of the countries that has capital and is looking to make | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
long-term investment, nuclear energy makes quite a lot of sense | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
from that point of view. And this was the company buying the | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
Chernobyl plant. They have not touched that technology for nearly | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
30 years now. The technology they are exporting is much closer in | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
concept to what we call the pressurised water reactor, which is | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
the plans for the United Kingdom. But there are to go to criticise | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
the British government has issued a broad licence for. If the Russian | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
design were to come onto the market place, the regulators in the UK | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
would want to take a long, hard look at it, and this would take a | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
considerable period of time. Even if this does come to something, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
there would be quite a long delay on with the plans would have | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
reached under the Germans while the UK regulator makes sure this | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
reactor will be able to reach the safety standards required in this | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
country. Still to come in the programme: | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
After a disappointing losing streak, the Swans are looking to turn | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
things around tonight with a key match against QPR. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
And making music from the Menai Suspension Bridge as it's turned | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:40. | ||
into an instrument. In the railings there is a really | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
beautiful sound like a harp. It sounds gorgeous. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
$WHITE The Wales and Sheffield United footballer, Ched Evans, has | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
gone on trial with another professional player, accused of | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
raping a woman in a hotel room at Rhuddlan in Denbighshire. The 23- | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
year-old striker denies assaulting the 19-year-old woman last May, | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
along with Port Vale defender Clayton McDonald. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Ched Evans was on the pitch playing for Sheffield United last night. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
The striker scored two of their five goals against Rochdale. Today, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
he was in the dock at Caernarfon Crown Court to hear the case | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
against him and fellow footballer Clayton McDonald, seen here in the | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
blue suit. In the early hours of May Bank Holiday Monday last year, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
the alleged victim had been drinking at this bar in Rhyl after | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
finishing work in a restaurant. The jury watched CCTV footage of her | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
stumbling and falling over at a takeaway. She is seen talking to | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Clayton McDonald outside. The prosecution say the woman flagged | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
down a taxi and Clayton McDonald got into it with her. On the way | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
they say he phoned a friend, believed to be Ched Evans, and when | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
to stay at a hotel. They headed for Room 14. That is where the | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
prosecution say the rape took place. Mr Evans' brother was seen looking | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
through the window from outside. A second man tried to film what was | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
happening on his mobile phone. The prosecution allege that Ched Evans | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
booked the room with the main purpose of procuring girls to take | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
there. Their alleged victim had literally stumbled across their | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
path. Ched Evans has 22 caps for Wales. He's scored more than 30 | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
goals for Sheffield United this season. The court heard that he | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
left the hotel through the fire escape after having intercourse so | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
he would avoid being seen by staff. Mr McDonald left via reception and | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
told an employee, "You know that girl I was with? Keep and eye on | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
her, she's sick". The prosecution claims that despite admitting to | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
police that they both had sex with the woman, neither man truly | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
believed she was consenting. They say she was in no fit state to | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
A new play opens tomorrow night on the life of Bradley Manning, the US | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
soldier accused of leaking government cables online. Private | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Manning, who grew up in Oklahoma, had a Welsh mother and spent his | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
teenage years in Pembrokeshire. The production will be streamed live on | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
a website and is being performed in his old school. Abigail Neal | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:19. | ||
I won soldiers who sing for their platoons. -- Fink for their | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
platoons. It is the stuff of fiction. The | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
story behind the young man accused of the largest leak of official | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
secrets in modern times. He was always on the outskirts of society | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
for the number of reasons. He was really interested in computers, | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
which still isn't something that is mainstream. It tends to put people | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
out in a subculture. He realised fairly on a life that he was gay. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
The production opens in the Pembrokeshire school Bradley | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
attended. Bradley Manning was a pupil here at Tasker Milward for | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
four years. The play imagines what it must have been like for a young | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
gay American to spend his formative years here in Wales and whether | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
what he experienced here could have influenced who he became. I am | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:16. | ||
still a soldier. I think it, you get quite close to what you think | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
he is and then within five minutes, you have changed your mind. That is | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
what makes the story so fascinating and what he has done so interesting. | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
The 24-year-old US Army private moved back to America after he | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
finished his GCSEs and went on to become an intelligence analyst. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
While stationed in Iraq, he's accused of downloading hundreds of | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
thousands of secret documents and releasing them to the Wikileaks | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
website. One involved video footage of an Apache helicopter killing 12 | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
civilians in Baghdad in 2007. Bradley Manning has now been in | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
military prison awaiting court martial for almost two years. If | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
found guilty, he'll be seen by the US government as a traitor who | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
sought to aid the enemy, but his supporters say he never put | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
:17:09. | :17:10. | ||
American lives at risk. information concerned, the deaths, | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
the killings, it concerned torture and the destruction of their homes. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
The people in Afghanistan already knew they were being killed on a | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
daily basis. They already knew there was a chance of being dragged | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
out of their beds at night and that their people were being tortured. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
This is news to us, but not news to people in Afghanistan. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Regardless of how you feel about Bradley Manning, the story is a | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
fascinating, complex one, and it's just been given a new Welsh twist. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Football. And Wales have risen seven places to 41st in the latest | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
FIFA world rankings. That's their highest position in 17 years. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Meanwhile, in the Premier league this evening, Swansea will be | :17:50. | :17:53. | |

Danny Graham and Scott Sinclair are expected to return to the starting | :18:19. | :18:24. | |

to 12th and would see them break the 40-point mark. Assistant | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
manager Colin Pascoe says that will secure his side's place in the top | :18:32. | :18:37. | |

Rangers isn't taking anything for granted. All the players are saying, | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
we're not safe yet. We're not. We need to enter that Ryan and make | :18:52. | :18:58. | |

ready for a playoff battle after spoiling Fleetwood's promotion | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
party last night. A win for the home side would have been enough to | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
clinch the Championship, but it was Wrexham who took the lead. Jay | :19:09. | :19:15. | |

Creighton putting the ball in his own net. Despite seeing Joe Clarke | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
sent off 15 minutes from time, Wrexham secured a point. Afterwards, | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
their player manager Andy Morrel said his side had every chance of | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
winning the playoffs and returning to the football league after a | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
four-year absence. Cardiff City are also hoping to be involved in | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
playoffs. The Bluebirds are currently sixth in the Championship | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
with just four games to go. They travel to Barnsley on Saturday. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Scarlets player Stephen Jones has confirmed he's leaving the region | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
at the end of this season. The 34- year-old outside half is joining | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
London Wasps on a two-year contract. He's appeared for the Scarlets 313 | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
times and is the region's highest ever point scorer with 2,850 points | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
Wales and Dragons' hooker Lloyd Burns has been forced to retire | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
from rugby due to a serious neck injury. Ongoing tests have revealed | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
damage to his aorta, the largest artery in the body, which might | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
require heart surgery. The 27 year old won seven caps for Wales and | :20:20. | :20:27. | |

instrument at some stage in our lives, but not many people can say | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
they've created music using a suspension bridge. Well, an artist | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
from Australia has been doing exactly that. She's attached | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
microphones to the Menai Bridge between Anglesey and Gwynedd and | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
the sounds she's recorded have been turned into a musical performance, | :20:42. | :20:52. | |

If the Menai Bridge could sing, it These noises have been recorded | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
using small microphones attached to the bridge. They pick up vibrations | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
as the traffic passes over the structure and the wind moves it | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
about. Jodi Rose is the Australian artist who came up with the idea. | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
There is a voice or a language in the cables. When you hear this | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
sound, you can hear this rhythmic chattering. | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
A series of cables carries the noise from the microphones to the | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
old bridge master's house on the Bangor side. There, musicians are | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
listening in and creating a live performance in response to the | :21:32. | :21:42. | |

the bridge talking. It's not the first time Jodi Rose | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
has staged something like this. In the last 10 years, she's recorded | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
the sounds of more than 60 bridges around the world, including New | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
York, Sydney and San Francisco. So, how does the Menai Bridge compare? | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
It sounds wonderful. There is a beautiful mixture of the drone | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
sound and the resonance which is in the Kid does secure. When the | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
traffic goes past, there is a wash. The musical bridge is part of a | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
project called Bangor Sound City, one of a number of local events | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
where sound has been used to create art. Well, let's hope the weather | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
forecast will be music to our ears, too. Derek's out and about tonight. | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
