moment. They'll be live in Kiev assessing what chance today's deal | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
has Good evening. A ?4 billion project | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
to revolutionise public transport in South Wales is a step nearer | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
tonight. The regional metro system aims to get people out of their | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
cars, and improve links between Cardiff and towns in the Rhondda, | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Neath and Gwent Valleys. More than 77,000 people commute into Cardiff | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
each day, 80% of them travelling by road. Here's our business | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
correspondent, Brian Meechan. This is all too common A-side, heavy | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
congestion as people from across South Wales make their way into work | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
in Cardiff. This is the latest ?220 million proposal to help tackle the | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
problem. It would seek improved transport links inside the capital | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
and eventually turned Cardiff into a hub, connecting the towns of South | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Wales. The authorities say the project can be paid for by Welsh | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
government money and foreign investment. If Cardiff is to grow, | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
we need that infrastructure. But the former deputy leader of Cardiff | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
council says the proposed scheme will damage his area because houses | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
will have to be knocked down to make way for the route. We should not | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
develop on greenfield sites. There are brown field sites available. We | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
should look at a housing on a regional basis. Netra systems have | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
been successfully created elsewhere, with Nottingham the model being | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
looked at by Cardiff council. But things can go wrong. Edinburgh's | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
transport system -- tram system has been hit by a series of problems. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
The point is to make Cardiff not just a transport hub that the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
economic hub of South East Wales will stop with a potential | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
workforce, then, of 1.4 million people, supporters believed the ?4 | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
billion scheme would allow the region to compete internationally | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
and draw business into the country. It would also allow people to stay | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
in their homes and communities in the Valleys while being able to | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
commute easily into work. When he was speaking about a role on this | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
side of Cardiff, some people believe these areas are hard to get to. -- | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
when you are speaking about a role on this side of Cardiff. The new | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
transport system would have a positive impact. The plan has | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
received widespread positive report but the ?4 billion bill will make | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
people think the opportunities may be big but so are the costs. But | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
just with other major transport plans, the longer it is left, the | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
more expensive it gets. Three men who bound and gagged a | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
vulnerable man in his own home in Wrexham, and threatened to cut off | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
his fingers, toes and nose, have all been jailed. Andrew Lee Hughes and | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Leon Pritchard were jailed for seven years. Paul Taylor was sentenced to | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
six years. All three admitted robbery and fraud. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
A cyclist has died after colliding with a lorry in Cardiff. The | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
48-year-old woman was taken to the University Hospital of Wales on | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Thursday morning. Police want to speak to anyone who saw the | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
collision at the junction of Rover Way and Ocean Way. They're trying to | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
trace the cyclist's next of kin. Engineers are working to fix a Sea | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
King helicopter from RAF Valley which had to land unexpectedly near | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Bethesda last night. The helicopter, used to train search-and-rescue | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
teams, ended up near playing fields because of mechanical problems. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
A problem 20 years in the making - that's how one leading charity has | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
described a rise in alcohol- related deaths among Welsh women. New | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
figures from the Office for National Statistics show the rate of deaths | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
here over the past decade is higher than in England. In 2012, 193 women | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
died from alcohol- related problems - that's a rise of 34% - compared | :04:25. | :04:36. | |
with ten years before. Think back 20, 30 years ago. The culture was | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
men would go out to the pub at night, women would stay at home and | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
look after the kids. That changed to a point where women also went out to | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the pub and drank at home as well. So what we see here is a cumulative | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
effect over a couple of decades. The future of the Welsh fishing | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
industry is on a knife edge. That's according to the body which | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
represents small-scale fishermen here. It says recent storms are | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
threatening their livelihood. Many have been unable to work in the last | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
two months because their equipment has been damaged. Around 1,9000 | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
people are employed by the industry in Wales, which is worth ?20 million | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
every year to the economy. -- 1,900. Nearly every fisherman on the Welsh | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
coast has just shutdown. When you go out now you are going out to | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
untangle gear, and that does not make money. You just go out, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
untangle what you can come back in again. We are handing in very small | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
amounts of fish which do not even pay for the fuel you using. | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Well, following the heavy storms in Aberystwyth, plans to convert a | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
derelict building into a hotel on the seafront have been put on hold. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
The developer has decided, for the time being, to withdraw the planning | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
application to convert the former Bay Hotel to a Premier Inn. The | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
company says it wanted to take stock and intends to resubmit the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
application within the next two months. | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
Rugby, and Wales answered the critics with an emphatic win over | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
France in the Six Nations. Tries from George North and captain Sam | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Warburton helped Wales to a 27-6 at the Millennium Stadium. It's their | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
biggest win over France in Cardiff since 1950. Here's Claire Summers. | :06:19. | :06:31. | |
Wales are now back in contention for the Six Nations. Warren Gatland had | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
called for his players to perform and it seems they have been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
listening this week. Wales were focused and energised | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
from the start. Leigh Halfpenny called upon with just seconds on the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
clock, giving Wales the perfect start. Many have wondered if George | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
North would see more ball in the centre and that was answered minutes | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
later. An inside pass from Halfpenny and a mistake from the French | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
fullback and he crashed over for the first try. Despite a growing Welsh | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
lead, France did not grumble and looked to have crossed the line | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
themselves but the referee spotted the earlier knocked on and the try | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
was not given. With penalties for both sides, the scrum at times a bit | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
of a lottery, the scoreboard ticked over and at the stroke of half-time, | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Wales were 20-6 ahead. It was France that dominated possession after the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
break, but they just could not turn it into points, and Wales took their | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
opportunities when they came. Their second try was courtesy of the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
captain, showing great strength to scrape the line. The closing minutes | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
saw France frustrated and Wales Majestic in defence, as the final | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
whistle blew, that defeat in Dublin was well forgotten. Exactly the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
response we were looking for. We knew we had it in us. We had two | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
really good weeks of preparation. It is awesome. Next stop for Wales, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
England at Twickenham in just over a fortnight. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Pretty good start to the weekend. Let's see what the weather has in | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
store. The weekend starts off on the right | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
note. It is dry but we have wet and windy conditions heading our way | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
through tomorrow night and into Sunday so there is a risk of | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
flooding. Tonight, fewer showers compared to today. A bit of cloud. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
It is blustery especially along close stool areas. -- coastal areas. | :08:28. | :08:41. | |
Just the odd shower coming in. This friend is bringing the rain to | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland through tomorrow morning. There is a | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
yellow bee-aware winning for Scotland for the rain. Here in Wales | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
tomorrow afternoon, the risk of a few showers merging into spells of | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
rain. They could be heavy at times. It is a blustery afternoon as we go | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
to tomorrow night as well. So not a very nice night and Saturday night. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The wind picks up, the showers pick up, rolling in from the West again. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
They could be heavy at times. The blustery conditions continue into | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Sunday. Not a nice day at all, and with the wind and rain there is a | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
yellow warning for some areas. The potential for localised flooding. We | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
end the weekend on a wet and windy night. The rain band will clear | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
through on Monday. Behind it win to be showers and bright spells as | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
well. Make the most of it because we have more rain from the South West | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
as we go into Monday night. Remaining unsettled as we go into | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
the start of next week. More wind and rain in the forecast. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Updates from midday tomorrow. Good night. | :09:56. | :09:59. |
