Good evening. They were set up to generate jobs

:00:12.:00:15.

and boost the economy but tonight there are concerns over one of the

:00:16.:00:19.

Welsh Government's Enterprise Zones. An entrepreneur claims businesses

:00:20.:00:21.

are struggling and ministers are failing to deliver at an Enterprise

:00:22.:00:25.

Zone in the Vale of Glamorgan which is responsible for improving the

:00:26.:00:27.

aerospace industry. Bethan Lewis reports.

:00:28.:00:38.

They are meant to help the economy take-off, seven enterprise zones

:00:39.:00:41.

across Wales which the Welsh government says will attract new

:00:42.:00:44.

businesses, jobs and small -- more well. Sean Llewelyn secured a grant

:00:45.:00:52.

to set up his business importing and selling light aircraft. He rents

:00:53.:00:56.

space at the airfield within the Aerospace enterprise zone. The MoD

:00:57.:01:02.

still operate the airfield. The working hours are a frustration to

:01:03.:01:05.

business. They will only operate Monday to

:01:06.:01:11.

Friday, 9:30am until 4:30pm, office hours. Civil servants office hours.

:01:12.:01:17.

The reality of business, of course, and especially aviation is it is a

:01:18.:01:23.

seven-day week operation. In this week's enterprise committee the

Minister said the problem is being addressed. Private company has been

:01:28.:01:30.

given a contract to extend flying time from nine until five Monday to

:01:31.:01:34.

Saturday with Sunday is available on request. We acknowledge that has

:01:35.:01:38.

been difficulty for the businesses there but I think we have also got

:01:39.:01:41.

to acknowledge it is difficult taking things through sometimes with

:01:42.:01:44.

the MoD which is a vast organisation in terms of the chain of command, we

:01:45.:01:49.

are absolutely key to getting this right. The ministers insurance on

:01:50.:01:55.

extended flying hours will be welcomed although this businessman

:01:56.:01:58.

argues they will have to go further for Wales' enterprise zone to reach

:01:59.:02:03.

its full potential for the --. A 28-year-old man has been charged

:02:04.:02:06.

with murder after a body was discovered partially submerged in a

:02:07.:02:09.

river in Cardiff. David Alun-Lewis, from Ystrad Mynach, was found in the

:02:10.:02:12.

River Taff, in Grangetown, in the early hours of Thursday morning. The

:02:13.:02:15.

man will appear before magistrates tomorrow.

:02:16.:02:18.

A consignment of animal feed from farmers in Cardigan is heading to

:02:19.:02:21.

Somerset to help farmers still affected by flooding. Around 90

:02:22.:02:26.

tonnes of donated hay and food will be given to farmers struggling to

:02:27.:02:30.

feed their stock. It was organised by the Farmers Union of Wales. We

:02:31.:02:40.

are repaying the favour that was paid to us in mid and North Wales

:02:41.:02:45.

last year when this nose hit, a year to the weekend, -- when the snow

:02:46.:02:49.

hit. That is all we are doing, paying that back.

:02:50.:02:55.

Hundreds of people have gathered in Cardiff for a fun run in aid of

:02:56.:02:59.

Sport Relief. The event was one of many taking place all over the UK.

:03:00.:03:03.

People were able to run one, three or six miles and there were some

:03:04.:03:10.

familiar faces there too. It is all raising money for a good

:03:11.:03:15.

cause, I am all about giving back. Watching everything that has gone on

:03:16.:03:19.

the last few days, I wanted to play my part, discredited family people

:03:20.:03:23.

have come out. This is the first time I have ever done. Any

:03:24.:03:26.

opportunity to come back home and see an atmosphere like this,,

:03:27.:03:30.

friends and family here, I could not miss it. Every year I hear it gets

:03:31.:03:35.

bigger and better. I can wait. -- I couldn't wait.

:03:36.:03:38.

Rugby and a big blow to the Dragons' hopes of being in Europe's

:03:39.:03:41.

top-flight next season. They lost by 24 points to eight to Connacht at

:03:42.:03:44.

Rodney Parade. They conceded four tries while Tom Prydie crossed for

:03:45.:03:47.

the Dragon's only try. The weather for the week ahead,

:03:48.:03:48.

here's Sara Thornton. The temperatures are really falling

:03:49.:03:59.

:04:04.:04:09.

cold night come. The blue areas of prevalent towards the east. The West

:04:14.:04:24.

towns out towards the east. The coldest night potentially since last

:04:25.:04:27.

November. As we start my morning plenty of sunshine towards the east.

:04:28.:04:31.

Towards the west we have got cloud and rain will stop that could cause

:04:32.:04:35.

us a slight headache with the temperatures tomorrow. It is

:04:36.:04:38.

possible that we will not have much time for damages to get as high as

:04:39.:04:41.

seven or eight, because cloud and rain will move into quickly. Now 10

:04:42.:04:48.
