question is, will more competition deliver better programmes? That's | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
all from us. A Schools, courts, | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
job centres and council services have all been disrupted today | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
as public sector workers here joined Union leaders claim pay | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
freezes leave low paid Standing side-by-side. They are | :00:25. | :00:47. | |
expressed their anger over pay, pensions and working conditions. The | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
unions say the average public sector employees has more than ?2200 worse | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
off every year since the UK Government froze salaries in 2010 | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
and then introduced a 1% cap on pay rises a couple of years later. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Around 300 people have gathered on Castle Square in Swansea and their | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
message is clear. Enough is enough. People sometimes only appreciate | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
public services when they are withdrawn. This is a last resort. We | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
hope people will tolerate the fact that we are standing for federally | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
funded public services. It is estimated 70,000 public sector | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
workers were part of the walk-out today in Wales. Firefighters have | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
also been striking over pensions and retirement age. We feel we have been | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
forced into a corner by this Government. Firefighters working and | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
to the age of 60 will put people at danger. We need the government to | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
come back to the table to negotiate. The Welsh Local Government | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Association said a strike will not change anything and their employees | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
are already being offered the best deal in a challenging economic | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
climate. It is a strike against the public and a recovering economy and | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
it is also an intimidation to a lot of people who would not have voted | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
in favour of a strike. Away from the demonstrations, it has been a day of | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
disruption for many. I half of Welsh schools were closed. It was a bit | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
short notice. It is a lot of money because they do not have the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
baby-sitters. The teachers do a fantastic job and I do understand | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
why they are doing this. There was a limited service at the National | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
library and most of our museum sites were closed. People putting out the | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
rubbish had to bring it back in in Neath. On the roads, there was | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
congestion with Cardiff 's Bute closed and rush-hour traffic being | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
brought to a standstill. Firefighters have now returned to | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
work and other public sector workers will be on strike until midnight. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
A nine-year-old girl has been taken to hospital after she became stuck | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
among sea defence boulders while playing hide and seek. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
The rescue at Aberaeron this afternoon involved coastguards, | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
A lifeboat crewman had to submerge himself in the water to free | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
She was taken to hospital as a precaution. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
Campaigners have lost their high court fight to stop | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
services being lost from Withybush Hospital in Pembrokeshire | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
A judge has dismissed their legal challenges against | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Hywel Dda health board saying he was wholly unconvinced that the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Their protest and pleas couldn?t have been louder. | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
But so far, they failed to hit their mark. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Campaigners have been battling on two fronts: | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
In Pembrokeshire, against plans to close the special care baby unit | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and the loss of consultancy led maternity care at Withybush. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
There are worries about the distances patients will | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
have to travel on these rural roads when services move to Carmarthen. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
And in Llanelli, against plans to downgrade the A and E at Prince | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Philip into a GP and nurse-led unit. Today, a judge ruled both | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
these decisions are lawful. We are a little bit despondent | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and upset at the moment with regards to the decision of the court. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
However, as a group, we must accept that it has gone | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
through the legal process and we must move on from here. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Mr Justice Hickinbottom said there was no doubting the sincerity | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
of the claimants who deeply believe the changes should not be made. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
But he said the courts were only concerned with the lawfulness | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
of the decisions and he was wholly unconvinced that any aspect of the | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
procedure was unfair or unlawful. Campaigners say they may have lost | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
the legal argument, but they will fight on. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
In my opinion, it is totally dangerous and I do believe that | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
people will die on the road between Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
These artist impressions show how the new maternity unit in Carmarthen | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
will look when it opens in August. Today the health board said they | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
hoped this judgement provided staff, patients and members of the public | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
with the assurance they needed. The Welsh Government have welcomed | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
this ruling, saying that health services here need to evolve | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
and modernise to meet the changing needs of the population and to take | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
full advantage of new benefits of technology and the advancement | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in clinical skills. A spokesperson called today?s judgement | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
an important one for the future of services here in Wales. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Vulnerable children and young people in the care system across Wales are | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
still being denied the right to an independent, professional voice, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
That's according to the Children's Commissioner for Wales who says that | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
while there has been progress, it's been too patchy and slow. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
The Welsh Government disagrees, and says it's committed to empowering | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Tasha Wood has been in the care system for nine years. | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
When I was younger, perhaps I could have done with an advocate to get a | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
deeper understanding of what was going on. I was informed and | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
everything but an advocate could have explained it to me so that I | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
had a deeper understanding because I was only a child. If I had something | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
to say, they could have put it across for me. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Three Welsh Premier sides have all crashed out of the Europa League. | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
After drawing the first leg 1-1 at home, Airbus UK lost 2-1 in Norway. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
It was a heavy defeat for Aberystwyth Town. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
They lost 5-0 against Derry City, after already facing a 4-0 deficit. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
It was also bad news for Bangor City. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Poet Owen Sheers has won Wales Book of the Year at a ceremony | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
The writer also won the Roland Mathias Poetry Award for Pink Mist. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
In Welsh, Ioan Kidd won the book prize and People's Choice | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
It means a huge amount. Any book you embark on, you really | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
go into the dark and never really know where it?s | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
going to end. To have it recognised in this way, | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
and among such a strong shortlist. Weather time now and another warm | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
day, but will it last? Sue's here. Cardiff was the hot spot. Cooler in | :08:04. | :08:24. | |
the West. Clear spells and some cloud around. Maybe a few spots of | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
rain further west. Not amounting to much. Some coastal mist and | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
remaining dry. Tomorrow, we are sandwiched between a couple of | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
whether France. A warm front will bring rain, it will weaken. Tomorrow | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
is largely dried with bright and sunny spells. Across the UK, a | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
greater zone in the middle. Cloudy with some rain further east and | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
across Northern Ireland as both weather systems edge closer. | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
Remaining humid. McGee for border counties tomorrow. 23 Celsius in | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
Monmouthshire. 18 Celsius all Saturday, fine at first. Cloud and | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
showery rain will push on from the west later. Remaining humid. As | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
these friends push in late on Saturday and into Sunday, there will | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
be a more unsettled Atlantic influence to our weather. Those | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
showers will clear early on Sunday and turn into a bright and breezy | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
day. More in the way of sunshine by the afternoon. The weekend starts | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
humid with sunshine and showers. Slightly fresher and changeable on | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Sunday and into the start of next week. More humid again from mid | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
onwards. That is Wales Today. We will have updates in the morning | :09:57. | :09:57. | |
onwards. That is Wales Today. We will have updates in the from six | :09:58. | :09:58. | |
