12/08/2014 BBC Wales Today

Try to keep some optimism. Thank you very much. That's all from the BBC

News at Six. Goodbye from Welcome to Wales Today. Our top

story: Protesters' plans for a peace camp

on this park angers Newport residents ahead of next month's NATO

summit. The council did try to accommodate

them elsewhere, but the peace protesters decided that they were

going to camp. End the persecution of Christians in

Iraq - the Archbishop of Wales leads calls from faith leaders here.

The C difficile outbreak at Glan Clwyd hospital which led to 96 cases

- police say they'll take no action. Top London chef Bryn Williams and

plans to open a seaside bistro in Colwyn Bay - tonight the on-going

wrangle over who'll pick up the bill.

And Gareth Bale back in his hometown with Real Madrid as Cardiff gets

ready to host the UEFA Super Cup. I do not feel the pressure of being

back warm. It is a big match that we want to win. I will put 110% into

it. The so-called peace camp this to be

set up. Police say there will be more officers in the area.

This there is a small Green space in an urban district. Last week it

became apparent that hundreds of people queued camp here as a

sideshow to the NATO conference next month to voice their opposition to

it. Since then residents have voiced their concerns. They are holding a

public meeting to find out what is going on tonight.

This is what a peace camp looked like in Gleneagles in Scotland in

2005. Set up as an alternative summit for those wishing to

demonstrate against the main event. Something similar could take place

on this council owned field in Newport next month. Some have

suggested up to 1000 demonstrators could choose to camp here, but

nobody knows how many could turn up. The first we knew was last week.

Information I have received is that the council did try to accommodate

them elsewhere in more suitable sites, but the peace protesters

decided that they were going to camp here. It does not sound very

peaceful to me. It sounds like an ultimatum. Less than one mile from

the city centre, less than four miles from where the NATO members

will stay. Newport council are in a difficult

position. Even if 12 people say they want is to elect tents on public

land and they do that then it does present safeguarding issues. There

are public health and sanitation issues. It is difficult. Setting up

a tent on public land is not a criminal offence. Some who have

planned to demonstrate say they are willing to negotiate on where they

will camp. We are sorry if it will be a

problem. We will do our best to make it as incident free as possible.

Does that includes looking at other sites? Yes. Plenty to talk about at

the nearby community Centre tonight where residents wants to voice their

concerns. Thank you for joining me. What is at

the heart of the concerns of people this evening? People locally

recognise that people have a right to express their opinion. The issue

is that this is an irresponsible place to put a peace camp. This is a

resource for the community. The protesters say they will only be

here for one week and they will take the afterwards. How can they

guarantee that? It is not a suitable site to locate a camp. There are

issues with Jane edge. I would not want to stay in a tent here for one

week. -- issues with Jane edge. Nobody wants to take responsibility

for it. This meeting has been described as an emergency meeting. I

would like to see common sense prevail. I have no issue with

protest, but it should be kept away from a residential area.

Thank you for your time. We will see what happens in the community Centre

this evening. Iraqi Christians living here have

met the Archbishop of Wales to try and persuade the

British Government to do more to help the Christian minority stranded

in Iraq's Sinjar mountains. As well as more targetted aid they

want the UK to take in refugees and they say they fear for the safety of

families caught up in the crisis. These Iraqi Christians have been

living in Wales for decades. They still have family back in Iraq who

are part of a Christian minority. They go to work and go back to their

families. Today they met with the Archbishop of Wales to discuss the

growing crisis. Thousands are now living in appalling conditions and

Sinjar Mountains. The RAF was able to deliver

essential supplies last night. Leaders of all faiths in the wheels

are sending an open letter to MPs voicing concern. -- leaders of all

faiths and Wales. They all condemn those who have

joined ISIS. One of the youngsters he is

defending to us this jihadist. In the last three days this person

appears to have set up a new Twitter account. It cannot be verified, but

he now goes under a new alias. In another post he says he spent the

day with German brothers meeting to do martyrdom operations.

He also posts pictures of US military vehicles they claim they

have seized. Many Welsh MPs believe parliament

should be recalled to address the crisis. MPs feel very strongly about

these issues. The International Development Secretary said the

humanitarian situation in Iraq is now deeply worrying.

North Wales Police says it won't be taking any action following a C

difficile outbreak at Glan Clwyd Hospital last year.

The Plaid Cymru AM Llyr Gruffydd had asked the force to investigate

whether there had been any criminal failings which led to 96 cases

Our reporter Matthew Richards is at Glan Clwyd Hospital.

30 of those patients died between January and May last year. They did

not die as a consequence of C difficile but they all have that

infection. It was said there was a lack of communication and

monitoring. Llyr Gruffydd asked North Wales Police to investigate

because he thought there might be a case of corporate manslaughter to

answer. What have the police said this

evening? They have said after a ten month

long investigation no further action will be taken. A spokesperson for

the board said they were satisfied with the outcome of the

investigation. In recent months new infection controls have been put in

place. This might not be the end of the

matter. The Health and Safety Executive could still have the

option of prosecution. Police are investigating after a

40-year-old coach from Maesteg Rugby Club, died on a stag party in

Manchester. Father of two - Austen Howells - was

found in his hotel room on Saturday afternoon. Officers say there are no

suspicious circumstances. A club spokesman said he was a talented

player and coach. More money is being made available

for victims of sexual violence. The Welsh Government is giving

?180,000 to organisations who are They say, there's been

an increase in demand for their services - particularly from those

who suffered historical abuse. It's understood that the operators

of Hawarden Airport have decided not to continue with plans for

commercial flights to UK airports. The company had invested ?1million

in a new terminal building, but plans to offer flights to major

UK cities have been withdrawn. One local AM says

she's disappointed. I think it is a loss for the region.

It had a lot of support from local businesses. It is also a fantastic

way of linking North Wales to Scotland and other areas which would

hopefully have encouraged tourism. Extra council taxpayers? cash is to

be spent on modifying a seafront building in Colwyn Bay, so it can

accommodate a celebrity chef. Bryn Williams is best known

for his appearances on TV programmes such as Great

British Menu and owns a restaurant It was announced last September that

he was to run the bistro in the Porth Eirias watersports centre, but

it has yet to open to the public. Now questions are being asked

about whether the whole building is Our reporter Chris Dearden

can tell us more. It was supposed to be part of a new

start for this area. The watersports centre was opened by the First

Minister. Bryn Williams was choose to open a bistro in time for

Christmas last year. 11 months later very little has

happened. More money is going to have to be spent before this place

can open. The outside of the building has been operating as a

watersports Centre for one year. The question today was how much money

should the council put into finishing inside. Not everyone

thinks it is a good idea to spend any more. The watersports facilities

is excellent. That's part of the facility is thriving. But the other

part has been standing empty. It is costing ?100,000 per year to

maintain that. The council says that is why it is watching the figures

carefully. This is the kitchen India. Today the council agreed to

spend an extra ?33,000 to finish it. -- this is the kitchen area.

This is part of a regeneration scheme. In the scale of things it is

very little we need to get it right. The summer sunshine is likely to

have faded before the first meals are served.

Colleagues say Bryn Williams remains committed to opening where he can.

Much more to come before seven o'clock.

Gareth Bale back in his hometown with Real Madrid as Cardiff gets

And Wales captain Sam Warburton's club career in limbo -

after the Cardiff Blues wouldn't select him to play in a friendly.

Should Welsh MPs be able to decide things that only affect England? A

former MP says they should not. John Redwood sees the settlement be have

now is not fair. How would John Redwood change things? He is

effectively talking about an English parliament. A new institution in a

new building. Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish MPs would not be able

to take part in that. Under devolution we have a situation where

Welsh MPs have now see what happens on Welsh schools and hospitals

because all that happens in the assembly, but they do have a say in

what happens in English schools and hospitals. I am not just talking

about health and education. Increasingly tax powers are being

devolved as well. We need to define what is English business. But

English business should only be debated and fought it on by English

MPs in Westminster. -- and faltered on.

This is an old problem. We have talked about this before. Why is

John Redwood raising this? It used to be called the West

Lothian question. Now it is called the English question. It asks what

do MPs do if the powers are devolved to Cardiff and Edinburgh? What has

prompted John Redwood to get involved is the Independence

Referendum in Scotland next month. All the main political parties have

said that if Scotland votes against independence then Babel gave

Scotland more tax-raising powers. -- then they will give.

He says people and England will not stand for a situation where the

taxes they pay are decided in part by Welsh MPs.

Gareth Bale is back in Cardiff. He is playing in the Super Cup with

European champions Real Madrid. I spoke to a few people this

afternoon who are wondering why to Spanish clubs were playing each

other in Cardiff. The Super Cup matches the winners of the Champions

League with the winners of the Europa League. Cardiff has

aspirations to host more big European matches. Everybody is

hoping Gareth Bale can put on a show tonight.

This is something Gareth Bale would never have expected bash the chance

to play and chain with Real Madrid in his hometown. They flew into

Cardiff yesterday. This match kicks off the second season for Gareth

Bale at the club. Now he is relaxed about going for a third trophy a

couple of miles from his family home. I do not feel the pressure of

being back. It is obviously a big match that we want to win. I have to

put 110% in. The Fiesta was building nicely on

the streets of the capital this afternoon. 8000 Spanish supporters

are expected in the city for the match, not to mention media from all

over the world. Cardiff is keen to make an

impression, not only from the supporters, but also to UEFA. Next

month they will be making a big decision. Whether Cardiff can host

matches in the Twenty20 championship.

This is the glossy video they have produced. Either side of the match

there will be lobbying. Hopefully it can make that

difference. If we win the bed it will be because Wales has proven it

can deliver. -- if we win the bid. This was the last time a European

match was held here. As the rain starts to fall we have

just had the news that Gareth Bale is in the starting line-up for Real

Madrid. That is despite a joke from the manager yesterday that he might

leave him on the bench. The majority of the crowd tonight our local

people. They will all be supporting one man.

Rugby and Wales captain Sam Warburton's club career appears

It?s after the Cardiff Blues announced they would not select him

to play in a friendly match later this week.

Warburton is the only player to have signed a central contract with

the Welsh Rugby Union, and has been training with the Blues.

Ross, why won?t the Blues pick Warburton?

It all goes back to the idea of central contracts. Warburton was the

only person to take them up on that. The other five targets either went

to France or re-signed with the regions. The regions feared that

they would be competing for signatures of top players.

It was agreed not to pick any player until the row was resolved. There is

not a new participation agreement. The blues are sticking to their

guns. The four regions have forged a sense of unity.

While the bickering continues we are placed -- we are faced with this

scenario, that the captain will be on the sidelines. We can only hope

this episode injects urgency into proceedings. There is another

meeting scheduled tomorrow. New Zealander Wayne Pivac takes over

from Simon Easterby who's joined the Ireland set-up. Pivac was appointed

as assistant coach at the Welsh Pivac was appointed as assistant

coach at the Welsh region back There are calls tonight for an area

known for its 200 million-year-old dinosaur footprints to be closed off

to the public to prevent any further Bendrick Rock in the Vale

of Glamorgan is home to dozens The organisation which owns the

land says it doesn't plan to block public access - but it does want

visitors to behave responsibly. These dinosaur footprints were found

in the 1970s. This is now an alien of scientific interest, but is it

being shown the respect it deserves. -- and easier scientific

interest. They had come back and used a big boulder to try and

dislodge the print. This caused damage to the other dinosaur

footprints. The group has also found evidence of fire is being lit near

the Prince. -- lit near the footprints.

There are no calls for the beach to be fenced off to prevent members of

the public doing more damage, but the land owners have no intention of

doing that. We want people to appreciate it. We want them to use

it responsibly. The message is that members of the public have the part

to play in preserving the fossils at Bendrick Rock.

Here is the weather. We have had a day of sunny spells and heavy

showers. More in the way of sunshine tomorrow. This evening many places

dry with clear spells. Low pressure towards the North of the UK. At the

same time high pressure builds from the South West. Tomorrow if you

showers are possible. -- tomorrow some showers are possible.

Temperatures slightly higher. Biden is innate, some showers around. --

weight and stay late some showers around.

It is likely to be the last of the unsettled days. He pressure builds

towards the end of the week. More settled through Friday and into the

weekend. Some sunny spells as well. Here are the headlines. Plans for an

anti-NATO peace camp in Newport have angered residents who are worried

that it will be a focus for trouble. The council sees those coming have

the right to protest. I will be back with an update at

8pm. That is all for now. Goodbye. We've got factory boys and butchers'

apprentices and office clerks Don't stop moving!

If you go back you'll die!
