acquitted last week of murdering PC Blakelock. Here on One we can now | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Good evening. Unemployment has fallen again in Wales but there are | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
concerns to make that the jobs being taken are low paid, offering to few | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
hours. According to latest figures, 102,000 people are out of work. That | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
is 6000 fewer than the last quarter. Here is our business correspondent. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Wrexham has a higher rate of employment than of the UK and Welsh | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
averages, but when it comes to pay, it is similar to the rest of Wales. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Workers earn around ?4000 a year less than the average person in the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
UK. It has been a tough few months for the Wrexham economy. 230 people | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
lost their jobs in October whilst 60 positions were created at the | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Village bakery in the same month. December saw another blow with news | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
at over 600 jobs would go at the electron ex-manufacturer Shark. At | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
was followed by 140 under threat at Kellogg's. -- the electronics | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
manufacturer Shark. Local people and Wrexham see job losses affect the | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
whole town. Lisa Howard manages a nursery and Wrexham. We're lucky | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
that of the parents work and a place that closes down because it would | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
impact us. It is seeking new staff including this woman who studied | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Jessica. The competition for jobs is tough. Enough so they had fully | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
qualified teachers applying for a minimum wage jobs. When this | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
opportunity has come up, I have been given an opportunity of a lifetime. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
I had to snap it up because there is nothing around. I am pretty | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
grateful. Unions have also raised objections to people being offered | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
zero hours contracts where they are not guaranteed what and | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
underemployment with people have jobs but do not get as many hours as | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
they want or need. Lots of employers talk about the need for flexibility. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
If you get a new contract coming in that requires 100% more product next | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
week or next month compared to what you did last month, you need to | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
increase your workforce very rapidly. And you might need to DT | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
sit close that might not be sustained work going forward. -- | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Deke is it. Wrexham has traditionally been reliant on | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
manufacturing. But it is now usually cheaper to make goods abroad. If | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
manufacturers here cannot be the cheapest, they have to be the best | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
to reach those consumers who do not mind paying a bit more for quality. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
The Wrexham -based Moneypenny in voice 350 people providing telephone | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
services for businesses. If you try and remain as you have always been, | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
you will probably die, weather and die. The economies that have | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
benefited access that changes will happen and they roll with it. This | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
new recruit is one of those who has changed careers. Have the strength | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
and belief in yourself to do it. The belief that no matter how long you | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
have been working in one clear, you can completely change and still be | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
successful. -- one career. Both the due care and Welsh governments | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
welcomed the figures and claimed their policies drove the figures. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
But everyone accepts that as a long way to go. A major business park | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
near Bridgend which is home to Sony has been brought by the Welsh | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Government to attract new businesses and jobs. Several other signs on to | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
a companies are located in the park which is just alongside the M4. It | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
has been sold for ?12.3 million. The number of people in Wales who | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
had emergency help from food banks has more than doubled in the last 12 | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
months. Last year, almost 80,000 people here were helped. This comes | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
as Welsh this it's -- Welsh bishops joined church leaders to speak out | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
with the level of hunger in the UK. They have just had another call | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
about a referral to the food bank, a woman who has three children to | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
feed. It is an emergency. They have been many evidences of late. The | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
last six months, this food bank has held more than 300 and people -- 350 | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
people. Across Wales, almost 80,000 received food, more than double the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
figure for the previous 12 months. All people in need, and here they | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
say it is very often a very short term need. The majority of clients | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
do not come back more than once. You might come back once, twice, until | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
the problem is sorted. -- they might come back. It is not a long-term | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
situation. We do not want to encourage a dependency culture. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
James Hobson works as a food bank volunteer and recently he has had to | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
look for help himself. I claimed for benefits eight weeks ago under five | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
-- and I have had one payment. Six weeks, I have had no payment | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
whatsoever. I have suffered depression and had to come back | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
here. I had to use the food bank. If you speak to those who run food | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
banks, the watch you keep hearing is crisis. Many people, any financial | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
cushion they had, has disappeared. A problem strikes when even buy | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
essentials becomes impossible. At this cathedral, they run another of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the 35 food banks now open in Wales. Here they find many do return for | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
help time and again. The biggest cause welfare changes. The Bishop is | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
among those speaking out today. We need to look at why there are so | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
many who are dependent on others. We need to look at the way the welfare | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
system is running and how zero hours contracts work. There are lots of | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
things feeding into the crisis. That word crisis again, a crisis for | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
those in need, certainly, although the UK Government questions today's | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
figures, it points to studies that suggest the numbers needing help | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
falling. A businessmen who died in hospital | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
following a routine operation would probably have survived had not been | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
for a breach of duty, the inquest has heard. Malcolm Green passed away | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
in 2012. The Health Board has already apologised to his family and | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
says an investigation has been carried out. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
A fire at a recycling plant on the outskirts of Cardiff last month is | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
being treated as arson. The blaze went on for more than five days | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
after more than 2000 tonnes of plastic -- plastic and wood were set | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
alight. The number of tourists visiting Wales from the rest of the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
UK is on the rise, according to a major new survey. Figures from last | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
year show that nearly 10 million people travel to Wales despite a dip | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
in the number of trips across the UK as a whole. | :07:39. | :07:50. | |
With former Snooker World Champion Mark Williams and former runner up | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Matthew Stevens failing to qualify for the World Championships. In | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
tomorrow's programme we'll be looking at the decline in the sport | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
which Wales was once a world leader in. We will have more on | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
we have enjoyed glorious sunshine this week but our luck runs out | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
tomorrow. Some light rain and drizzle but no more than that. Try | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
tonight, " and to come and go. Not quite so cold as recent nights. The | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
lowest temperature is for Celsius. Tomorrow, a bright start. Sunshine | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
in the south-east but generally much cloudier than today. Spots of light | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
rain and drizzle dying out as they move south-east. Across the rest of | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the UK, sunshine south and south-east of England tomorrow. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Further north, much cloudier and some spots of light in and drizzle, | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
no more.... Brightening up in Scotland, with blustery showers. One | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
in London, much cooler and fresher in Glasgow. Wales, tomorrow | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
afternoon, it should be dry. Plenty of cloud, more than today, but it | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
will brighten up. Cooler, too, was that westerly breeze. -- with a. The | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
cloud will clear tomorrow night and it will be a widespread ground frost | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
in the countryside. The chart for Good Friday shows high pressure in | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
the UK and that means try and settled weather. The forecast for | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Friday is good. Dry with sunny spells, patchy cloud and a light | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
breeze. More fine weather on Saturday and Sunday, some clouds, 12 | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
degrees with an easterly breeze. For Sunday, dry start. Bright in the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
West but then it looks like rain will spread across the country. The | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
winds will pick up as well, making it feel cold. Good Friday on | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Saturday the best days of the Easter holiday weekend. Looks like | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Tollymore unsettled on Sunday -- unsettled on Sunday and Monday. | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
