There are concerns tonight that nearly 400 workers could be | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
It comes just weeks after the company was sold, raising hopes | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
that jobs there could be saved. Paul Heaney reports. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Making hand decorated cakes was big business here until the firm lost a | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
key contract with Marks and Spencer - a massive blow for the site - | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
In April the 650 workers at Avana Bakery were were told to | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Three months later a welcome reprieve after they were | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
told the site in Rogerstone had been sold to Food Utopia. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
But tonight it's feared those hopes have been dashed - with union saying | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
that 390 members of staff could be made redundant by November. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
Devastating for the people here. They really thought they had a hope | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
of new business for this particular firm. It hasn't been the case. We | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
know it is a competitive industry but we have seen the industry | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
generally is growing across the country. I would be asking questions | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
of the Welsh assembly government, who have done their best to | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
thought. What expertise do they have two help firms like this gain new | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
orders? These are loyal workers that have | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
done nothing apart from continued to do their jobs to the best of their | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
ability. It is devastating. do their jobs to the best of their | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
The 2 Sisters food group that used to make this site -- on this site | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
makes everything from pizza to chocolate biscuits. | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
The new owners, Food Utopia, are made up of two executives | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
from the 2 Sisters group - and had brought fresh hope. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The company that now owns this site is in a fiercely competitive | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
industry. When big contracts are lost, jobs tend to go, too. The fear | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
here this evening is that with so many jobs potentially going at once | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
the impact could be felt not just here but across the wider area, too. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
A teenager has been jailed for 16 years for raping a woman | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Newport Crown Court heard how 18-year-old Lee-Joseph Dickson | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
forced his way into her home when she answered the door | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
The judge described it as a horrifying attack. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Two more nurses have been arrested, in connection with | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
an investigation into allegations of wilful neglect at the Princess | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
The women, who are from the area, are 29 and 40. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
It means five nurses have been arrested in total - one, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Rebecca Jones, has pleaded guilty to nine counts of wilful neglect | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
A sailor has been taken to hospital, after getting into difficulty in | :02:51. | :03:02. | |
Milford Haven Coastguard said they were alerted just after 6:30pm | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
There are more than 36,000 incidents of fly-tipping in Wales | :03:08. | :03:23. | |
every year - a crime which costs tax payers millions of pounds. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
But now local authorities here are using mobile technology to | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
It means Wales could be the first country in the UK to have a | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
It is a corner of Newport they know only too well. Today, team of waste | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
enforcement officers from the council troll through the latest | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
rubbish dumped at one of the city boss Michael fly-tipping hotspots. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
They scour the site for clues, personal information on letters or | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
straps of paper and anything that could lead them to the people who | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
dumped this waste. In Wales there are 100 incidents of | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
fly-tipping everyday, four every hour. It costs the Welsh taxpayer | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
more than ?2 million to clear it up. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
But several local authorities in Wales including Newport now use | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
these hand-held GPS devices to crack cases of live pigs -- fly-tipping | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
and records the location and type of waste being dumped, feeding the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
information to a central database so that offers can find out where there | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
is a crime and how often it is being committed. That micro-officers can | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
find out. It is a real tool, we can install overt surveillance cameras | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
and techniques. We need justification to establish | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
these covert surveillance sites and this will give us that. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Less than one mile away, fire crews are dreading the banks of the River | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Usk in Newport city centre, painstakingly removing detritus that | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
has been dumped in the river, usually at night, is everything from | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
bicycles to sections of scaffolding. In the past four years, emergency | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
services have had to rescue 86 people from this section of the | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
river but fly-tipping has made the task more difficult and deadly. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Any delay of our crews getting into the water could result in a fit | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
talented. -- fatality. Fly-tipping is nothing | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
new but it seems to have been -- fatality. Fly-tipping is nothing | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
as abated by the scaling down of local kerb-side collections in many | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
as abated by the scaling down of areas and the closure of recycling | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
centres. Every council has be cycling targets to eat but the | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
challenge is hitting the targets with a shrinking budget. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
I generally feel that the major problem is resources for the | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
authorities, and education for the general public, how we can all | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
contribute to a better environment. Last month, guidelines on | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
fly-tipping came into force across Wales. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Anyone convicted of illegal dumping could face more stiff fines, running | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
into the millions for the most serious cases, as well as a lengthy | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
jail term. It is clear the authorities are | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
prepared to clamp down on fly-tipping with the full force of | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
the law. The former chief executive | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
of a race equality charity has told Nasir Malik denies three counts | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
of fraud involving more than ?16,000 and relating to his time | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
at the All Wales Ethnic Minority Western Power Distribution has | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
announced its preferred route to connect the power generated | :06:23. | :06:26. | |

carried out in the autumn. Some sports news for you now | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
and Cardiff City have written to Crystal Palace, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
advising them they are taking legal action, over the leaking of | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
their starting line-up last season. We heard earlier this week that | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Palace would be fined, after Cardiff BBC Wales understands Cardiff | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
are unhappy there's been no Tonight saw the first silver medal | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
for a Welsh athlete representing Great Britain, at the IPC European | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
Athletics Championships in Swansea. Kyron Duke picked that up | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
in the men's F-41 javelin. Earlier, | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
18-year-old Olivia Breen won bronze She was particularly pleased | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
as she was still recovering Disappointment and frustration | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
for former world champion Nathan After being in bronze position | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
for most of the men's F-57 javelin He immediately challenged | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
the foul on his second attempt. That appeal has been turned | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
down though. Stephens missed out on a medal | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
at the London Olympics And finally, to cricket, | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
and Glamorgan have won their One Day Cup match against Sussex | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
at Hove by seven wickets. Sussex scored 323 for 3, | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
off 48 overs. In reply, Glamorgan reached | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
their revised Duckworth Lewis Time for the weather forecast now. | :08:01. | :08:15. | |
It is starting to feel more chilly. Yes, and we will keep the chilly | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
weather into the weekend, especially by night. By day we have showers and | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
a miniature of sunshine, certainly feeling cooler through tomorrow, as | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
well. Tonight we have clear skies are lowering temperatures to dip. In | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
the heart of Wales probably around four Celsius. We have a few showers | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
into the early hours of the morning. Largely dry across the | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
south-east, the breeze picks up and then showers get going. We have a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
weather system across Scotland moving south and that brings | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
showers, some heavy. The further south and east you are the drier and | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
brighter it is. Here in Wales tomorrow afternoon showers continued | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
to roll in from the west, some could be heavy and blustery. Temperatures | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
ranging between 14 and 17 Celsius. If you are going to the Denbigh and | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Flint show tomorrow, largely dry with the odd shower and breezy. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Tomorrow night showers will continue for a time, overnight it should | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
become dry and another cold night, but not as bad as tonight, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
temperatures between eight and 13 Celsius. On Friday more showers in | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
the forecast with sunshine. By the afternoon we can look forward to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
drier weather, setting the scene for the weekend which for the first half | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
is not too bad. Saturday is largely dry, sunny, with the isolated | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
showers. Sunday will start dry but I Sunday night wetter, windier | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
conditions heading our way. That is Wales today, we will have | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
dates from 6:25am. From all of us on the programme, good night. | :10:01. | :10:02. |
