good evening, the steel industry in Wales is fighting to survive. This | :01:33. | :01:45. | |
comes after the UK, and has said they have failed to react quickly. | :01:46. | :02:04. | |
Steel dominates the skyline in Port Talbot, let alone the economy. Steel | :02:05. | :02:17. | |
in the UK has struggled against high energy costs and its competitors for | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
years. The significance of that has pale. Cheaper imports of steel from | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
China and a high pound which make you take your expensive to export is | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
dealing a heavy blow. At the moment, it doesn't seem like it. I think | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
people seem to understand the problem and they want a steel | :02:43. | :02:43. | |
industry. We will want a steel industry in the UK. My warriors, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
going followed, we are in survival mode. -- my relief. I want to see it | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
worry in UK. Tata Steelworks pays ?200 million | :02:54. | :03:21. | |
per year in salary in Wales alone. Even before we look at allied | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
industries. Its impact is massive. Since the recession of 2008, there's | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
been a lot of talk from politicians apparently balancing UK economy, not | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
leaving aside as dependent on the financial sector as we have been. | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
Giving more power to people like this to make the steel that goes | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
into so many other goods. Talk to people in this business, they say | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
they have not felt that. For ten years, they have been wanting help | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
to reduce the cost to them on electricity. Now, they have had a | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
little bit in the last few months, but could it be too late? Just as | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
the real pain from cheap Chinese imports is heading. The Chinese | :04:03. | :04:16. | |
economy is said to hit next year. They will lessen the cost of energy. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
They have not acted quickly enough or heeded warnings. The UK | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
Government said it is a limited in what it can do. There has been some | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
mythology that somehow or other countries do more than us. We have | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
examined in real detail and got into it. It is mythology, it is not true. | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
We have done everything we can. We understand the rules. It is | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
important we do the right thing by British Steel, especially in Wales. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
That is what we will continue to do. Qatar has shown its commitment by | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
staying here, even when it is losing many millions -- Tata Steelworks. | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
They will support the industry and help it to survive. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Jo Stevens is the MP for Cardiff Central and a member | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
of the Commons Business Committee which wrote the report. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
It is pretty bad. You heard a lot of evidence. They were telling us in | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
great detail about all of the things they have been asking the governor | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
to do for years. None of which happen. We help that has now come, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
we remain worried that it is too little too late. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
The cost of energy is a big part of this crisis. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
The last Labour Government must take its share of the blame - | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
it brought in the environmental levy. | :05:44. | :05:43. | |
Other european countries spread the cost of the environmental levy | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
across residential customers and business. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
It has failed. We want the Government to help, but it has | :05:48. | :06:00. | |
failed. Steps are being taken on compensation packages, looking at | :06:01. | :06:00. | |
procurement guidelines which should have been done much earlier. That | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
will help the deal industry in the future. What do you want? We want to | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
see Government identifying strategic plans and engaging more proactively | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
rather than just getting in as crisis management when things have | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
gone wrong. We want to secure growth in the economy, relying on really | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
important manufacturing. You heard earlier in that there is a limit as | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
to what can be done. It is restricted, isn't it? Under EU | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
guidelines's John guidelines living JZ Montana gold. Compensation could | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
have been applied for. -- a long time ago. You said you are nervous | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
about jobs, what will you do? The business select committee will be | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
keeping focus on the industry. Welsh MPs will be following up on the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
promises they are now making about making changes to help the industry. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
We have to deal changes urgently for the industry to survive. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
A man from Pembroke Dock who raped two young girls and sexually | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
assaulted three others has been jailed for 21 years. | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
who was classed as "dangerous" by the Judge at Swansea Crown Court | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
- was convicted of a total of 33 sex offences. | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
He's been told he will serve a minimum of 14 years in prison. | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
Emergency services are continuing to search for a 21-year-old man | :07:36. | :07:36. | |
who went missing after a night out in Swansea. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Jordan Miers, who's from the city, hasn't been seen since | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Rescuers have been searching a stretch of the River Tawe | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
A skip hire operator from Llanelli has been sentenced for illegally | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
The judge at Swansea Crown Court told the director of Sospan Skips, | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Nigel Charles, that the company had shown "wholesale ignorance" | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
towards environmental legislation and it needed to change it's ways. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Overflowing skips and piles of waste material. All of it dumped | :08:02. | :08:18. | |
illegally. At two separate farms. These pictures were taken by | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
national resources Wales decided to take action against the company. It | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
was charged with offences and environmental permitting | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
regulations, having dumped masses of waste material, including asbestos, | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
without any plan. The man held responsible policies the company 's | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
director, his brother was also punished for his role in the | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
operation. This is where Nigel Charles don't tonnes of waste | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
material illegally for over five years -- dumped. You are trying to | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
gain a commercial advantage over other waste management companies in | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
the area. Many tonnes were also the jail. Dumping waste illegally was | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
cynical. Said the judge. The company had been prosecuted previously | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
possible behaviour. Today, more serious action was taken as Nigel | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
Charles was given a 26 week sentence, suspended for two years. | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
His brother has to do serve community service. The sentence that | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
was given out today reflect the seriousness of this offence. Society | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
will not tolerate risks from illegally managing waste. The | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
company wanted environmental regulations and was described as | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
way. way. | :10:08. | :10:07. | |
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has appointed | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
executive at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for more | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
He'll take over from the interim chief executive, Simon Dean, | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
who was appointed after the Health Board was placed | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
The Public Services Minister has written to the Fire Brigades Union, | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
in support of the fire service's continued independence from Police | :10:31. | :10:30. | |
In its Spending Review last month, the UK Government outlined | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
its intention to allow PCCs to take charge of services in England. | :10:39. | :10:38. | |
But Leighton Andrews says the plans will not be adopted here. | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
The BBC director general, Tony Hall, has asked Welsh politicians | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
and a number of institutions here to contribute to a review | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
It's understood the BBC is looking at a number of ways to strengthen | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
They include the possibility of Welsh news opt-outs on Radio 1 | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
and 2, and a Welsh Six o'clock news on television - | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
They've been mopping up in parts of Wales after heavy rain | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
North West Wales and South West Wales were worst hit. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
Forecasters have warned more rain may be on the way. | :11:20. | :11:19. | |
Roger Pinney has spent the day in the village of | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
Not what anyone would have wanted to be doing in the week before | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
Christmas, but they can mock and scrub as much | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
as they like at the union in Tremadog, they won't be opening | :11:36. | :11:36. | |
This is the main bar of the union in Tremadog. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
The flood happened after midnight on Saturday and the pub | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
swing here, with a disco and Christmas party going on. | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
The water came in through the back door, then the front door. | :11:54. | :11:53. | |
You can see that the carpet is still absolutely sodden. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
Let me take you through to the pub's restaurant. | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
As you can see, chairs on tables in here as well. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
They have made an attempt at clearing it up but they say | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
there is absolutely no way at all they will open this side | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
of Christmas and probably not this side of the New Year either. | :12:16. | :12:15. | |
All because of a blocked culvert on the hillside. | :12:16. | :12:16. | |
These pictures were taken in the pub during the flood. | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
There is water and mud right through. | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
The fire brigade had to pump the building right out. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
I thought it wouldn't come in the back. | :12:31. | :12:31. | |
I hadn't realised it was coming in the back of the kitchen. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Coming through the kitchen, through the suite room, | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Into the dining room and then just started coming up and up. | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
It had come down the road from the culvert and it just started | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
You've had all sorts of support from your friends and neighbours. | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
They all said to me, "If there is anything I can do | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
It wasn't just this pubthat was affected. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
The flood hit the whole of this side of Tremadog Square. | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
Three homes on either side of the pub and then round the corner | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
in Dublin Street, homes were flooded there as well. | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
At the other end of Wales, more flooding. | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
A bridge across the river is completely underwater. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
Today, the bridge can be seen again with floodwaters | :13:32. | :13:32. | |
Forecasters warned that there may be more rain to come. | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
On the trail of his missing brother - Harry's hunting for Hansome, | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Tonight, an animal charity says its time to get | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
And it's been a wet and very mild December so far. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
There's more rain and strong winds on the way. | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Some sunshine with little chance of a white Christmas. | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
For seven years, schoolgirls have been given the HPV vaccination. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
It gives them lifelong protection against cancers like cervical, | :14:11. | :14:10. | |
But there's been concern that men have been left out, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
are particularly vulnerable - because their male partners | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
Now, gay men under the age of 45 are being offered the jab - | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
but some experts say ALL men and boys should be vaccinated. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
The Human Papillomavirus is extremely common - | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
around 80% of us will have it at some time in our lives. | :14:39. | :14:38. | |
It's temporary and most of the times our bodies fight it, | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
but in some cases, it leads to cancer. | :14:42. | :14:42. | |
The vaccine against it was first introduced | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
here for 12 to 13-year-old schoolgirls in 2008. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
it was the only cancer they directly linked with the virus. | :14:53. | :15:04. | |
But now its known to cause many more, | :15:05. | :15:05. | |
with growing evidence that its responsible for head | :15:06. | :15:06. | |
and neck cancers in both men and women - | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
cancers trebling in the last 20 years. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
So researchers say its only right both girls and boys are offered | :15:14. | :15:14. | |
the vaccine and that any cost implications are small. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
The job of working out whether that would be cost effective is down | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
We now vaccinate a 30-year-old homosexual man but not a 30 role | :15:26. | :15:38. | |
heterosexual man, not a 30 role heterosexual women either. -- | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
30-year-old. The songs seem to stack up that it is marginally cheaper to | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
let a proportion of people develop cancers and treat them in the future | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
than it is to prevent them. The current theory is by vaccinating | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
girls, boys are protected indirectly. | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
and this group is more at risk of some HPV related cancers. | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Now the committee, which advises governments, | :16:18. | :16:17. | |
says men who sleep with men should be given the jab too. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
The Health Minister say he's following that advice - | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
which, for now, doesn't recommend vaccinating boys. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
We have never moved ahead of clinical advice in terms of | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
vaccination. We have a really tried and tested approach across all of | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
the United Kingdom and it really does work really well. These are | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
people who have genuinely knowledge in the field and our expert. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
years - even if they don't seem too thrilled by it. | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
Are you looking forward to getting a needle? No. | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
The committee here isn't ready to follow they that lead | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
and they won't be publishing any advice on this until 2017 | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
Even critics will admit today's announcement is a step | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
in the right direction, they just don't want to wait too | :17:16. | :17:15. | |
An animal charity is calling for tougher sentences for thieves | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
Figures obtained by BBC Wales show - more than a hundred dogs reported | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
stolen so far this year, compared with just 66 in 2012. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
The charity Blue Cross says owners need to be vigilant | :17:31. | :17:30. | |
Meet Harry, he is a cross between a beagle and a Welsh stringless | :17:31. | :17:54. | |
bangle. -- Springer spaniel. They used to going walks with his | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
brother, but he has been missing last Beagles like to look under | :18:01. | :18:13. | |
trees. He went under a tree and, it was the last time I ever saw him. | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
When I found out he has been seen somewhere else, I realised he had | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
been found. Someone had stolen them. Jewellery set up a basic page with | :18:22. | :18:33. | |
14,000 followers for people to find missing dogs, he is even featured in | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
a dog calendar. Dog thefts have increased in the past year with only | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
66 in 2012, this year at 102. In north Wales, a downward trend but | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
any salad, an upward trend. We want to see stronger sentences given out | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
for people stealing pets. Half of Britain feel that their pet can be a | :18:59. | :19:09. | |
target. . People get very other strangers asking about their dogs. | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
Sadly, you have to be aware that anyone can be targeting your pet. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Many pet are gone missing around here since and I would advise | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
everyone to keep dogs on the league unless they are by their side. Find | :19:25. | :19:25. | |
them up because it only takes seconds. Julie hopes her advice and | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
is a painful experience will others avoid losing valued members of the | :19:33. | :19:33. | |
family. There's lots of football news | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
tonight - Iwan's here. Swansea City interim manager, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Alan Curtis, says he'll get the team ready for their next two games over | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
the Christmas period, as the club continues its search | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
for a new manager. Although they controlled possession, | :19:50. | :19:49. | |
the Swans failed to convert their chances yesterday - | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
and the goalless draw with West Ham, means they've dropped | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
into the relegation zone. The men in white playing the Swansea | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
the way once again. The performance a notable | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
improvement in recent displays. The Swans overseen by Alan Curtis, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
who is prepared to remain in charge We have to assume that it is not | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
only the Boxing Day on Saturday but we follow it up quickly | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
with a game at Palace on Monday. If a new manager comes in, | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
they can step in and take over but, As far as we know, we have | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
to carry on until the board The goalless draw with West Ham | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
means the Swans have won only one It has left them in the relegation | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
zone and being in the bottom three at Christmas is not | :20:43. | :20:55. | |
ideal but it is far from over as past | :20:56. | :20:55. | |
seasons have proven. The worry for Swansea | :20:56. | :20:56. | |
is that they are on a downward They have only won | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
one of the last 13. Having said that, look back 12 | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
months at the Premier League table The bottom three were Burnley, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Hull and right on the bottom, Burnley and Hull were both | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
relegated but look at They survive the season and are now | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
sitting top of the table. With next year's Premier League | :21:17. | :21:20. | |

from the stands yesterday, Having returned from South America, | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
unable to appoint Marcelo Bielsa As Garry Monk's successor. I was | :21:32. | :21:47. | |
always led to believe that Swansea are a couple plan ahead and think | :21:48. | :21:48. | |
ahead, when it became apparent that Garry Monk is going to lose his job, | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
I think everyone thought there would be, not one man to come in | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
straightaway but maybe three or four names were good to go. What has been | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
said is important, they have to make sure it is the right man. Do not | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
rush it now. However, the sooner, the better. Time at a time yesterday | :22:09. | :22:20. | |
Swansea failed to convert the scoring opportunities. They faced | :22:21. | :22:26. | |

And that's your sport for this evening. | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
This comes on the day that the Government has said they failed to | :23:31. | :23:53. | |

Our economics correspondent, Sarah Dickins, is here. | :23:54. | :23:54. | |
Sarah, what's your view of where the steel industry | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
Where we are at the moment is the steel industry in the UK and | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
particularly Wales has not recovered from the recession of 2008. There is | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
not that demand around the world from -- for steel that there was | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
before. Employers, like Tata Steelworks, have tried to stay in | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
the game. Despite that, they are still losing several billion pounds | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
every week. That is Port Talbot alone, and the others will be losing | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
other songs. They are clearly struggling. Put that in the global | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
context. There are several people looking at their crystal balls and | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
saying the market is going to pick up. It is far from that. The hurdles | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
are still there. They will still be there. They are now in the | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
Government agenda and we have seen the UK, drooling idiot on energy. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Getting the Welsh Government tried to pick this up. We want it to | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
gather momentum in a campaign that will save the steel industry. It'll | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
be a long fight to them. One of the things I know that employers are | :25:08. | :25:08. | |
looking for is a kind of commitment from the UK,. A belief that ACE then | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
as being important to the economy -- that they see. They need an | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
industrial strategy and do not be so blind in the financial services. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
