indecent assault against women and children. That's all from the BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
News. Welcome to Wales Today, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
our top story. Four men from Cardiff arrested | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on charges which cover a period Deadlock between the governments | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
in London and Cardiff Domestic violence, new legislation | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
to tackle it comes under fire. Can this Swiss-based entrepreneur | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
save hundreds of jobs at Murco Charles begins his summer tour | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
of Wales in Pembrokeshire with Four men | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
from Cardiff are being questioned by police on allegations of slavery and | :00:39. | :00:57. | |
kidnap that span a 26-year period. The police operation involved | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
co-ordinated raids The slavery offences relate to two | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
men, who are safe Four men arrested on alleged slavery | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
and forced labour offences are being held here at Ystrad Mynach Police | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
Station, where they're being Warrants for their arrests were | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
executed this morning at properties in Cardiff and Bristol - and it was | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
here in the Rumney district of Cardiff where Police focused | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
their attention on four houses. Police say the first man they | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
arrested is 57, the others are All are being questioned | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
on suspicion of knowingly or conspiring to hold | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
a person in slavery or servitude or requiring another person to perform | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
forced or compulsory labour. All four are also accused | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
of assault. In addition three | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
of them face allegations Police say | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
the arrests relate to two male victims, whose alleged abuse spanned | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
more than a quarter of a century. In the Rumney area of Cardiff, | :02:03. | :02:26. | |
residents were largely unaware It is an unusual offence to be | :02:27. | :02:46. | |
investigating. The whole nature is becoming prevalent. | :02:47. | :03:10. | |
supported by specially trained officers. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
The row over who pays for the electrification | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
of the rail network in the South Wales Valleys has intensified. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
There's been deadlock in recent months as governments in London | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Now the Welsh Secretary, David Jones, has accused Welsh Government | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
ministers in Cardiff Bay of putting the entire project in jeopardy. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Here's our Political Editor, Nick Servini. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Who is going to pay for a major part of the biggest upgrade of the rail | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
network in South Wales in decades? Almost exactly two years ago, the | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
deal was announced to extend the electrified line from Paddington to | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Swansea, and include the Valleys. Amid claim and counter claim, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
even the First Minister says there's a danger of drift. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
The UK Government says it has a paper trail on its side. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Letters from 2012 showing a deal was agreed for it to pay for the | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
mainline, and the Welsh Government would pay for the Valleys. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
But the Welsh Government says it has the prime minister on its side. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
This is what he told me on Wales Today last year. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
I know we need these infrastructure investments in Wales. This | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Government is putting the money into the electrification of the railway | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
line to Swansea. Wales Today last year. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
In recent months it had all gone quiet, | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
until today when the Welsh Secretary told a conference on infrastructure | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
that it was still at risk. It is important that we keep | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
reminding people about how important this project is and that it is in | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
jeopardy. We now expect the Welsh Government to come back and | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
confirmed that they will stick to their deal or that they have | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
alternative sensible proposals that will mean it can go ahead. It is | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
disappointing that the Secretary of State spent a large part of his | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
speech trying to score points. This is about being in government. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Mayfield was that I was here to report on progress that a Welsh | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Government is making against a lot of obstacles. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
that it was still at risk. So what are the views of | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
the most important people in all of those, rail commuters themselves? | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Richard will be paid by the UK Government. They are like primary | :05:33. | :05:47. | |
schoolchildren. Why should we have long journeys when commuters near | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
London have short quick journeys. those, rail commuters themselves? | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
This dispute can't go on forever. At the moment, | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
no-one's giving an inch. Someone will have to or it's | :05:57. | :05:57. | |
going to hit the buffers. Talks are going on behind the | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
scenes. Nothing substantial has been agreed otherwise we would not have | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
the political ground hard day industries -- dispute which has been | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
rumbling on for months. David Jones responded back strongly to the | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
accusation that he has been hostile or that this is some kind of | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Conservative lead coordinated campaign against the Labour led | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Welsh Government. That said, is he did speak to hundreds of | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
infrastructure and business leaders today. He said the Welsh Government | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
was putting the project at risk. That will attract attention. We are | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
at the stage where very special engineering planning work has to be | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
paid for and nobody will do that and has that is a commitment that is | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
definitely going to go ahead. Both sides have become entrenched. To try | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
and resolve the situation like that, you need goodwill on both | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
sides. That is no evidence of that at this stage. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
It'll probably be September before trains can cross | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
the new Briwet Bridge being built across the estuary | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
It was originally hoped they'd run during the summer. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
The old bridge, which was 150 years old, was closed | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
It?s hoped road traffic will be able to use the bridge by Christmas. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Four men who rammed a car off the road and then shot | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
at the people inside have each been sentenced to 12 years in prison. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
The attack, which happened last September | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
in Newport, was said to have been an attempted revenge killing. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Lewis Bridge, Brogan Hooper, Gary Rabjohns and Ryan Battersby | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
were convicted of two counts of conspiracy to murder earlier | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Anti collision equipment wasn't on board either of the two | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
RAF Tornados that collided over Scotland in 2012, killing three | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
airmen, that's according to air accident investigators. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
The equipment was recommended, but installation was repeatedly delayed. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Flight lieutenant Hywel Poole, from Anglesey was among those who died. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Proposals for compulsory lessons on healthy relationships in schools | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
have been dropped from legislation on tackling domestic violence. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
The Welsh Government says, the idea will be looked at by a review | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Meanwhile, campaigners say, they are concerned | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
a new bill does not place enough emphasis on violence against women. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
To drink the pregnancy, several times he did beat me up. I had to go | :08:32. | :08:47. | |
to the doctor. He would say sorry afterwards when he sobered up. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Patricia left home in Zimbabwe to start a new life in London. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Years later, her abusive ex-husband followed her. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
She and her daughter got help from a charity in Cardiff. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
We've change her name to protect her identity. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
It is not an easy situation. People from outside think it is easy. They | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
think just get out. It is not that easy. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
protect her identity. Most victims of abuse are women. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
These UK Government adverts are aimed at teenage boys. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
The Welsh Government launched its own publicity campain to | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
accompany today's bill. But campaigners say that bill | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
doesn't meet their expectations. It no longer carries the title | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
violence against women, it's changed to gender-based violence to reflect | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
the fact that men suffer too. To get appropriate services, you | :09:33. | :09:44. | |
have to look at the extent of violence towards a particular group. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
the fact that men suffer too. The bill creates the post | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
of a ministerial adviser It'll be his or her job to check that public | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
services live up to the law. Councils and the NHS will have | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
a duty to work together on joint strategies to prevent | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
violence and protect people. And there could be training | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
for staff. For example, nurses could get | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
training to ask and act when they suspect someone is suffering. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
But what's left out? These children are learning | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
about healthy relationships. A proposal to make these kinds | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
of lessons compulsory hasn't made it into the bill. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
It'll be looked at by a separate review | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
of the schools curriculum instead. I think it would be much better if | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
we could get something embedded in the curriculum. This is not the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
right time but it's still a priority. It is gender specific. I | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
do not think people should get hung up about the title. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
of the schools curriculum instead. The Welsh Government wants | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
people to take a stand. Despite having no power over | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
criminal justice, ministers say they can make a difference. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
However some of the people who longed for the government to act | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
now ask is it doing enough? The current agreement between WRU | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
and Regions runs out at midnight, Muslims mark the start of Ramadan | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
by cooking food for the homeless. An international company | :11:06. | :11:19. | |
which specialises in taking over troubled businesses has emerged | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
as the most likely buyer of the 400 hundred jobs could be saved | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
if the deal with the Klesch Group Here's our business correspondent, | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
Brian Meechan. Then I could refine it is out there | :11:33. | :11:50. | |
and are a lot of bad ones out there. This man was a partner in an | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
investment bank at 24. Later, he was an adviser to Gerald Ford pulls up. | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
He has wide experience of turning around failing companies. I think we | :12:07. | :12:16. | |
can agree once someone wants to get out of a business, they stop | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
investing. They prefer to sell. This refinery is smaller and older than | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
many others. The international marketplace is fiercely competitive. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
It was built to make petrol. Demand is now more for diesel. It is in | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
need of extra investment and it has been running at a loss. He realises | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
the problem all companies have is when they analysed their businesses, | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
they make so much money from the operation but when they put that up | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
against the investment and running a refinery and did a fine always lose. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
This company seems to focus on the one thing which is to make the | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
refinery work. We are told the closure of the refinery would have | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
began immediately if a deal was not done today. The refinery has a wider | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
economic impact. Businesses in towns like Milford Haven and others depend | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
on the refinery. It is estimated at around ?30 million a year is put | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
into the local economy. It supports around 4200 jobs. The group was in | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
discussion to buy a defined route in Essex last year. It did not go ahead | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
and decide to close. The buyer is someone who owns and operates oil | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
refineries in future. He is an industrialist. He was to keep this | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
as an ongoing operation which is crucial. He was to keep this as a | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
dedicated oil refinery with all the jobs and expertise and skills | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
retained on site. The deep natural harbour is one of the main selling | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
points. That is still much more to be done before the deal is | :14:18. | :14:18. | |
completed. Prince Charles has begun | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
his annual summer tour of Wales with The theme this year is celebrating | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Wales, past, present and future. A warm welcome and some respite | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
today for Prince Charles after the row about whether he is seeking | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
to influence politicians continues. First up was a visit to Cwnd, | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
a food firm who use traditional techniques based in Cross Hands. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
No one here seemed bothered by yesterday?s headlines that | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
among other things the Prince has sought to persuade | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
the Welsh Government to introduce complimentary medicine on the NHS. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
Having the monarchy as an influence definitely helps. They only have our | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
interest at heart. We all have opinions. | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
complimentary medicine on the NHS. There was no controversy | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
on this summer tour. Prince Charles was on familiar | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
ground today promoting a cause which he feels passionately about, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
small scale producers in Wales. He was given a guided tour of Melin | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
Tregwnt woollen mill near Fishguard. The family-run business is part | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
of a scheme to grow the textiles industry in Wales and | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
has recently taken on 20-year-old apprentice weaver Sean Jenkins. | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
Operating the loom is a unique job. It is a skill you can only learn as | :15:43. | :15:53. | |
you go along. It is something I will never forget because I am enjoying | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
it. apprentice weaver Sean Jenkins. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
And of course, the visit wasn't complete without | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
a complimentary gift of the mill's most popular fashion | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
product fir for a prince plus a teddy bear for grandson George. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
We gave him a throw and we should give something to the newest member | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
of the family. Of the same material, we made a teddy bear. He was very | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
pleased. a teddy bear for grandson George. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall will join Prince Charles | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
tomorrow as their summer tour continues on to South Wales. | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
The row over the future of professional rugby in Wales | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
enters a new phase at midnight when the current deal, about how | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
The Welsh Rugby Union and the regions still haven't agreed | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
They need to agree how much money the union hands out, | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
in return for releasing players for international matches. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
Let?s talk to our sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
Probably, not much. We're not expecting anything dramatic to | :16:50. | :17:06. | |
happen at midnight. But sides are keen to play down how important this | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
deadline is. Negotiations are still taking place about a new agreement. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
A lot of talking is going on that neither side wants to make dramatic | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
moves. The agreement is in place now. The agreement sets out how much | :17:20. | :17:33. | |
money the union would give to the legions in agreement that the | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
legions released players for international duty. There has been | :17:36. | :17:51. | |
some progress? Was a big row about European competitions. Many people | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
thought that once Europe was sorted out, the domestic deal would fall | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
into place but that has not happened. The pressure is increasing | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
to get something sorted because the legions depend on this guaranteed | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
funding to run their business and they can only go on for so long | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
without it. The Welsh Rugby Union also needs to know it has access to | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
its top players with the Rugby World Cup coming up. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Cardiff Blues rugby player Owen Williams, who suffered a serious | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
neck injury during a tournament in Singapore, is back in Wales after | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
The 22-year-old centre sustained what his club called | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
a significant injury to his spinal cord and vertebrae. | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
He's now being assessed by specialists at the University | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Cricket. Glamorgan reached 220 246 on the close of their second day | :18:41. | :18:56. | |
against Worcestershire. Muslims across Wales will be fasting | :18:57. | :19:08. | |
today, observing But in Cardiff, | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
dozens of volunteers from the Muslim community have joined up with curry | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
houses and takeways across the capital to provide fresh | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
meals for the city's homeless. Cooking up a storm at this Cardiff | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
food is made to order but it won't be served up to a paying customer. | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
This meal, and 60 more like it, will be given to homeless people | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
in in the capital. It feeds into what we believe. It is | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
our duty to give to the poorest and needy. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
in in the capital. Mohammad Yakub is | :19:50. | :19:50. | |
the man coordinating all the food distribution. | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
He's manages a project called We Feed, a joint venture | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
between Muslim businesses and volunteers across Cardiff. | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
It provides food for those who need it most, irrespective | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
of religion or culture. From restaurants and takeways, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
to corner shops and large stores, Muslims from all parts of the city | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
donate fresh meals, fruit and water. It is a big operation because it is | :20:09. | :20:22. | |
unique. They all give heart prepared food. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
donate fresh meals, fruit and water. All the food is delivered to this | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
homeless hostel in the city centre, where it's handed out to anyone who | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
needs it. All of these volunteers will have | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
gone without food and water for 18 hours, as they've been | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
fasting during Ramadan. That gives them an insight into what | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
it's like for people like Christina. She's been homeless for most of her | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
life and has been coming to this centre since she the age of 14. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
She says that something as simple as a free, hot meal has made | :20:47. | :20:47. | |
a big difference to everyone here. I enjoyed seeing everyone being | :20:48. | :21:04. | |
happy and having meals. It is a nice opportunity to get used to different | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
cultures. a big difference to everyone here. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
In recent days, Cardiff's Muslim community has faced | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
the glare of the world's media, for all the wrong reasons. | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
But volunteers say this project reflects what's really happening | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
on the ground and reveals the true meaning of Islam. | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Sue Charles has tonight weather forecast. How's it looking? | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Weather's not looking bad at all this week, mainly dry | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
and warm, with sunny spells but a change to something a bit more | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
unsettled by the end of the week. Tonight, any showers petering out | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
then largely dry with light winds. Variable cloud and some clear spells | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
allowing a few localised mist and fog patches to develop by dawn. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
A mild one with overnight lows between nine and 14 Celsius. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Tomorrow, another fine start, dry with plenty of sunshine, | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
warming up quite quickly but as it does, some convective cloud | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
building through the afternoon. Could be thick enough to produce | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
a few isolated light showers, mainly on high ground but staying | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
fine and dry for most with top temperatures between 18 Celsius | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
on Anglesey and 21 in Cardiff. Another largely dry and sunny day | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
on Wednesday and turning slightly warmer with temperatures creeping up | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
in the low 20s for most of Wales. So high pressure continues to | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
dominate on Wednesday but a front approaching from the northwest | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
of the UK brings signs of a change. Thursday will still be very humid in | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
the southeast but turning cloudier and eventually a bit cooler from the | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
north and west with a few showers possible as that fairly weak front | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
sinks south eastwards across Wales. Some uncertainty about the end | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
of the week but low pressure trying to push | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
fronts in from the Atlantic, maybe later on Friday or into Saturday. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
Timing and detail could change but after a fine few days, | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
probably remaining warm Friday but cloudier and breezier. | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
Then it looks like we could see a more unsettled spell, signs | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
of a slightly cooler, maybe more showery theme into next weekend. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
