Television advertising of sugary and fatty foods should be banned | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
before 9pm - that's the call from the Welsh Health Minister | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Mark Drakeford says young people already consume three times | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
the recommended amounts of fizzy drinks and confectionery - and he | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
believes a co-ordinated approach is needed to tackle obesity. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
This is the way fizzy drinks were targeted to children on TV in | :00:33. | :00:49. | |
decades past the four obesity came an issue. And even when you are just | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
as likely to have pop delivered to your door than the daily pint of | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
milk. Now been all the dangers that this sort of food can mean to | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
long-term health. This is why some want the targeting of these things | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
to children banned before the 9pm watershed. To press on them food and | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
drink that could only be harmful to their health in future, the is ample | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
evidence of the way children and young people are heavily influenced | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
by things that are deliberately pushed at them through advertising. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
It is a standard supported by the Nitish heart foundation here in | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
Wales. Pushing away the Christmas pudding and other sugary treats | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
doing as such harm. Some would also like to see a ban on online | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
marketing to children. Wales had the biggest online marketing to children | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
in the UK which is why I think it is vitally important we educate young | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
people and families but also have manufacturers behaving in a | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
responsible manner and not targeting their products to young people. The | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
public health minister said they were committed to turning the tide | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
on childhood obesity. They say there is a comprehensive strategy working | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
out all the factors which contribute to obesity including sugar | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
consumption and a report will be published in the coming months. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
The body representing Universities in Wales says the way Welsh students | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The Welsh Government pays the majority of Welsh students' | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
tuition fees, wherever they choose to study in the UK. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
But Universities Wales say ministers should only be helping | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Most universities in Wales and England charge around ?9,000 | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Students in Wales only pay ?3500 whenever | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
The Welsh government picks up the tab for the rest, | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
The policy is very generous to students in Wales but universities | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Now, the body representing all the Wales universities is calling | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
for the current system to be replaced by a means-tested grant. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
You could decide to spread the resource equally and relatively | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
thinly or you could say let's focus on the areas of most need, those who | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
come from disadvantaged backgrounds perhaps or areas that need most | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
Means testing would mean those students who really need support | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
would get support and those who are more able to support themselves | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
would be more able to do that and that is surely fair. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
It is the system we have just now with maintenance grants. | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
The Welsh government says more money comes into Wales through | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
the current scheme than goes out and students from Wales leave | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
university with less debt than English counterparts. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
It is being reviewed at the moment with findings expected | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
to be published after next year's assembly elections. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Wales' Finance Minister has told BBC Wales it's "very worrying" that the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
so-called fairer funding for Wales offered by the Chancellor is only | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
George Osborne announced this week that he would introduce a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
"funding floor" which means that public spending in Wales would be | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
at least ?1.15 for every pound spent in England. | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
We were extremely disappointed that the Chancellor said this is only for | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
this term of Parliament. It is very important now we sit down and work | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
out the detail. They have said it could be be set for next parliament | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
which could mean they get rid of it. We have to now put this... The | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Barnett formula has in here since 1968 and if we are going to have | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
this funding for it has to be permanent. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Tributes have been paid to the broadcaster, Sian Pari Huws, who has | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
She started her career as a journalist with BBC Wales | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
The voice of both Good Morning and Good Evening Wales, she also | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
fronted major cultural events for Radio Wales and Radio Cymru. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
The Director of BBC Wales, Rhodri Talfan Davies, | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
has described her as a champion - for our arts and language. | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
Have lost 1-0 away to Liverpool at Anfield. | :05:18. | :05:32. | |
The home side took the lead after Neil Taylor gave a penalty away | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Rugby, and in the Pro 12 the Scarlets | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
survived a second half comeback by Zebre to win 20 points to 12. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
TWO tries early on put the Scarlets 17 points up at half-time. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
It's been a windy day so far so let's take a look | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
at the forecast and the rain will ease from the North | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
this evening and it will become less blustery with some clear spells. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
But overnight, cloud will thicken from the | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Much colder in the north starting the day at around five celsius. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
