on the BBC News Channel. I'll be back with the late news at | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. A union is warning 145 jobs could be at risk at a | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
construction firm in Newport. Green Hill builds affordable housing | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
across south east Wales and Herefordshire. | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
It offers to build an affordable future but its own future now seems | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
uncertain. Green Hill construction in Newport has won contracts worth | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
millions of pounds to build houses for some of the biggest housing | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
associations in Wales. The firm had recently expanded its associations | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
but the gates are now locked and workers have been told to expect | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
redundancy. We've got bills to pay and mortgages | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
and all the rest of it and just at Easter, it wouldn't be worse timing. | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
Nobody saw it coming. Some of the apprentices say they've | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
now been left in limbo looking for another company to help finish the | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
qualifications. Last year company was awarded ?146,000 by the Welsh | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
government to help buy new machinery and take on more workers. Some are | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
now questioning of that investment was wise although the local assembly | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
member says risks are inevitable. There are always possibilities that | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
funding will be given and that things will develop after that time | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
and I think that in the nature of government assistant. It will be | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
raising a host of issues with the company itself and with the Welsh | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
government. There is still a lot of uncertainty | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
this weekend as to how many jobs could be affected here and why the | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
company appears to have gone into administration in the first place. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Three people have died in separate crashes in south and west Wales, two | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
of them motorcyclists. A woman passenger has died in hospital after | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
the car she was in collided with parked cars in Swansea last night. A | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
man has died this afternoon after a crash between his motorbike and a | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
lorry on the A487 in Pembrokeshire. And a 27-year-old man has died after | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
his motorbike collided with parked cars in Cadoxton, near Neath, in the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
early hours of this morning. The Cardiff City Manager, Ole Gunnar | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Solskjaer, has denied the club asked the Premier League to overturn their | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
3-0 il defeat to Crystal Palace. The Bluebirds have lodged an official | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
complaint, claiming Palace found out the team in advance of the game. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Solskjaer says allegations that midfielder Aron Gunnarson was the | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
source of the leak aren't true. We will defend his name and | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
reputation to the edge of the cliff. It's an internal case so that means | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
we keep it there, and we've dealt with the issues and we move on. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
In League Two, Newport squandered a 2-0 lead at Wimbledon this | :02:56. | :03:12. | |
afternoon. . One of the biggest fixtures in the | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Welsh regional rugby calendar takes place this weekend. | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
They'll be playing against each other this weekend, drumming home | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the message that regional rugby is hot stuff and a timer for fans to | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
watch teams compete under the same roof. The blues won their last two | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
teams but confidence is sky for the harlots -- Scarlets. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Within that sixth spot at the moment with a few tunes creeping up so | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
we're under no illusions. If we get a victory this weekend, it would go | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
a long way towards securing that. You don't want to lose when you play | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
any Welsh region and our record probably isn't the best against | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Scarlets in recent years and we need to rectify that. To pretty date -- | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
big games. The dragons and ospreys match will | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
follow. The ospreys are currently fifth and hoping Glasgow can slip | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
up. They face a dragon side without a win in the last five matches. Both | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
coaches know each other for very well. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
The dragons are a tough outfit. We slipped off a little bit at the | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
moment but they have some young, exciting players. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
It's an opportunity for our players to show the rest of Wales how good | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
they are and we've started the season particularly well but fallen | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
away drastically, you know, all our players have features to playful. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Judgement today is aptly names. It's a chance for Wales coach Warren | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Gatland to see several players as he looks to name his squad to tour | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
South Africa this summer. The weather forecast now. It's been | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
a glorious day in Wales thanks to high pressure. Make the most of the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
way that tomorrow. There will be unsettled weather on Sunday. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Tonight, chilly with a touch of frost and underneath the sky is the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
skies that temperatures will dip away to when Celsius which will give | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
this a chilly start to Saturday morning but again, more sunshine | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
to. A bit breezy tomorrow with cloud from the East as we go into the | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
afternoon. The best of the brightness from Pembrokeshire up to | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Anglesey by the afternoon with highs of 14 Celsius. Sunday, it will start | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
off dry and cloudy but by the afternoon, we could see some wet and | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
windy conditions heading our way. That's today. I'll be back at ten 15 | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
p.m.. Today we have seen temperatures | :06:00. | :06:14. | |
rising if Scotland but again tonight, with the clear skies and | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
light wind temperatures will fall sharply, and for many of us, we are | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
looking at a touch of frost. The satellite picture tells a story | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
nicely. This belt of | :06:25. | :06:25. |
