A drug trafficker and fraudster from Swansea, who's been on the run for | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
years, will be extradited to the UK after being caught in South Africa. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Martin Evans, was jailed eight years ago but later absconded from prison. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Back in the 90s Evans had conned investors in a south Wales ostrich | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
He was one of the UKs most wanted criminals. | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
After three years on the run and a global operation to find him | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Martin Evans walked into court and into the glare of the cameras . | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
He was arrested in Johannesburg earlier this month - officers | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
swooped while he was getting out of his car at a housing complex. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
But his life as a criminal goes back two decades | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
when he set up this Ostrich farm in Dunvant near Swansea. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
He started the business after his double-glazing firm | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
He promised investors big profits, but instead conned them out | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Before he came to trial, the former young Welsh businessman | :01:20. | :01:35. | |
It was there that he masterminded a multi-million-pound drugs | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
He was eventually caught in the United States and sentenced | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
But then during a weekend release from prison in 2011 he disappeared. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
He went on the run for three years sparking an international | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Evans will remain in jail there until the Justice Minister agrees | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
He told the court he won't be appealing the decision. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
The Welsh Government could get hundreds of millions of pounds | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
in top up payments under a pledge announced by the Liberal Democrats. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The party claims that if it forms part | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
of a coalition after the general election it would try to address | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
concerns over the Barnett Formula - which is the way that Westminster | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Here's our Political Editor Nick Servini. | :02:14. | :02:43. | |
It calculates how much money the Welsh Government has to spend | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
The Barnett formula has been with us since the 1970s | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
but a report five years ago said it was leaving Wales short-changed | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
The First Minister has laid out his route map about the way Wales should | :02:53. | :03:23. | |
Sensitivity over the way Westminster funds Scotland in the run up to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the referendum has meant the many calls to reform Barnett in | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
If there's a repeat of 2010 after next year's general election | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
and the Lib Dems form a coalition at Westminster they | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
claim it'll be a priority for the party in any coalition talks. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
I see this commitment in the manifesto as key. It recognises that | :03:41. | :03:52. | |
Wales is poorly funded and proposes what we can do about it. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
key to us about taking | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
There are still plenty of hurdles but there could be big implications | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
You have got to sell it to the English public that anybody | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
underfunded gets a top up but somebody who is overfunded does not | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
pay anything back. Nice work if you can get it that I do not know how | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
that will play. There could be big implications if it happens. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
The first minister Carwyn Jones says the lack of what he calls fair | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
funding from London is the main reason why he doesn't want Welsh | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Government ministers here in Cardiff to have any control over income tax. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
If there is a more generous settlement then it | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
could open the door for ministers here to have control of some | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The funding of devolved governments is being thrown into focus | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
by the Scottish referendum - this is the first pledge on it | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
by any of the parties ahead of the general election - expect there | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth has been appointed as a Government Whip | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
The former Welsh Conservative leader's duties Duties will include | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
managing the UK Government's legislative programme in the Lords. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |

A coroner's inquiry into the death of Arthur Jones, who died | :05:17. | :05:29. | |
during a walking holiday in Crete has been opened and adjourned. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
The 73 year old from Denbigh went missing on the | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Today's hearing was told it still isn't known what caused | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
his death but anything criminal had been ruled out. | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
The organisers of a long distance endurance race | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
had to cut short a kayaking leg after competitors encountered strong | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
The event is a six hundred kilometre race through Wales involving kayaks, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
After leaving Caernarfon to paddle to Llanfairfechan competitors were | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
forced to come ashore in Bangor and complete the journey by road. | :05:53. | :06:06. | |
The owner of Murco has reached an agreement to | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
sell the company's filling stations to for ?200 million. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
The news comes less than a fortnight after Murphy Oil | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
revealed it was also selling the Murco refinery in Milford Haven | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
A new company coming at it now in the form of motor fuel will put its | :06:16. | :06:36. | |
own business model on to the garage and that business model provides | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
users with more services than just filling up a tank, and yields on the | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
convenience stores and that sort of thing that exists in many of these | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
garages already. Gareth Bale has been training | :06:51. | :06:54. | |

the Europa League last season. It is great to be back home but the | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
most important thing is to win the game and be prepared, it is a title | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
we want to win. Yes, we need to focus on that and not too much on | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
anything else. We need to work hard as a team and hopefully we will get | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
the trophy. Meanwhile - Dutch side Utrecht have | :07:26. | :07:37. | |
confirmed they have reported Swansea City to FIFA over | :07:38. | :07:39. | |

of the fee the Swans received for the goalkeeper - an agreement | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Utrecht say was struck when they Swansea City say | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
the transfer was conducted properly Now for the weather. Not to summary | :07:50. | :08:10. | |
more showers on the way. -- summary. Heavy showers continue to feed in to | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
the Bristol Channel. Breezy on the coast, lighter winds inland. We have | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
a few flood warnings in force as well. That is due to the combination | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
of high tides and onshore winds. Low pressure tomorrow near Shetland, | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
that is the remains of the horror came -- how hurricane. Across the | :08:37. | :08:48. | |

respectable 21 Celsius. In Wales, a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Again, some heavy showers and the risk of thunder. If you are lucky, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
you will get away with a dry afternoon. Gusty winds through the | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
