In Wales, more than 750 steel workers face losing their jobs. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The group set up to tackle the fallout | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
And he died after being wrongly attached to a zip wire | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
There was a defiant message tonight from the task force set up to help | :00:23. | :00:40. | |
workers affected by the Tata steel jobs cuts in Port Talbot. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Members said they wouldn't roll over or wave the white flag in the face | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The boss of the Port Talbot plant, where 750 people face | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
losing their jobs, said the works was in a fight for survival. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Here's our political editor Nick Servini. | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
48 hours after the biggest blow to the Welsh steel industry | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
in recent years and the fallout continues. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Today, union leaders became unusual bedfellows with their bosses | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
at Tata Steel and joined business and council leaders to discuss | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
After the talks at the assembly, the economy Minister Edwina Hart | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
said there was everything still to fight for and was asked | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
whether she was preparing for further losses? | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
The task force is focusing on the job losses that are likely | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
to come and how we help the industry be sustainable in Wales. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
The task force will continue to meet on a regular basis. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
The initial focus will be on retraining for the workers | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Despite the defiance, the boss at the plant stressed | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
For the 3500 staff that remain at Newport. | :02:00. | :02:18. | |
We are fighting to save the 3500 jobs remaining in the industry. I | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
believe very energised that I know we are fighting the correct battles, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
one for the people leaving and one for the people staying. This isn't | :02:31. | :02:45. | |
the first time the task force has been set up. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
After huge losses at this oil refinery in Pembrokeshire, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
it helped 70% of those who lost jobs to find new work within 18 months. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
We placed 70% of people within jobs locally and further afield. | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Geographical location of where Tata Steel jobs are now | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
will make that redistribution easier because they are within shooting | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
range of more job opportunities in the future. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
The problems have been caused by cheap Chinese steel | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The allegation is that it is produced at a loss by a state owned | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
company and as a result is illegal dumping. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Moves are being made to change its status | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Critics say it would make it more difficult to clamp down on the | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
imports? Isn't this the Westminster | :03:23. | :03:23. | |
government putting the bankers of London before Manufacturing | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
workers in the rest of the UK? I think the honourable gentleman | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
is wrong in content and approach. There are market economies that | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Europe still puts We have done it with | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Russia and America. Pressure will continue with no end | :03:40. | :03:57. | |
in sight for the pressures facing the industry. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
A Gwynedd adventure park where an 11-year-old boy died | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
in a zipwire accident has been ordered to pay more than ?100,000 | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Bailey Sumner Lonsdale from Blackpool died in 2011 | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
at Greenwood Forest Park near Caernarfon. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
The court heard how he fell after being incorrectly attached | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
This has been a long and difficult journey | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
His grandfather and father were in court today. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
It's almost five years since the Scottish - | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
He was riding the Swamp Fire zip wire which had only been open | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
Bailey fell and hit his head before dying from his injuries. | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
At the inquest into his death in 2013, it emerged that | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
a mountaineering clip, or carabiner, had been passed through a false loop | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
in a supporting rope which had then come loose. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
At the time, we asked a specialist to demonstrate. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
When this rope starts to move around, this strand of rope here can | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
And end up creating an additional loop. | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
That loop, like that, had gone on to the zip wire, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
I think you can see what is going to happen. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Some staff had been aware of the false loop issue some days | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
But Rangers on the ride hadn't been informed. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The managing director of Greenwood Forest Park | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
was Stephen Bristow, seen here on the right | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
He voluntarily removed the ride from the site | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Even though the ride had been passed as safe by inspectors. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Mr Bristow said at the time it was a symbol of tragedy. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
The company admitted failing to ensure the safety of members | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
But the judge, Philip Harris Jenkins said it was a firm that had | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
It does take health and safety seriously. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
It was fined ?45,000 and ordered to pay ?64,000 in costs. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Police say they will be taking no further action against a teacher, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
who was driving a minibus which hit and killed a pupil | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
15-year-old Ashley Talbot died just over a year ago. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
The bus was being driven by PE teacher Chris Brooks. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
An investigation into what happened is continuing. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Wales has seen the greatest fall in unemployment of all parts | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
of the UK, according to the latest official figures. | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
In the three months to November, the unemployment rate in Wales | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
was 5.5% - that's still higher than the UK average of 5.1%. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
More people are being diagnosed with cancer in Wales, | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
but survival rates are at an all-time high. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
That's according to the all-Wales annual report for cancer, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
compiled on behalf of the Welsh Government. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Between 2013 and 2014, 19,000 people were diagnosed - | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
an increase of 11.5% compared to a decade ago. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
But more than half of people now survive for at least five years. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
The Welsh Government says it'll prioritise improving access | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
The Culture Minister, Ken Skates, says planned cuts | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
to the Welsh Books Council's grant won't be going ahead | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
following lobbying from authors and Assembly Members. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Writers like Phillip Pullman had criticised the proposed reduction | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
A new species of dinosaur discovered on the South Wales coast has been | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
named in honour of the brothers who found it. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
The fossilised bones of the "Dracoraptor hanigani" | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
were discovered in slabs of rock on Lavernock beach by Nick | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
Translated it means dragon thief from the family of Hanigan. We | :07:30. | :07:53. | |
wanted to give it a name synonymous with Wales, hence Dragon, and we are | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
pleased the family name can be maintained for the next 200 million | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
years! tonight's frost will be the last and | :08:01. | :08:13. | |
it is turning my order for a time. When done at times but still some | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
sunshine and the snow covering the Brecon Beacons will disappear. For | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
tonight some frost although some freezing fog patches but overnight | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
fog will increase with a few spots of rain turning up in the West. The | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
temperature dropping as low as -5 but staying above freezing on the | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
south coast and Pembrokeshire with the south-easterly wind. Tomorrow | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
not as nice as today, much cloudier and damp in places with some mist | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
and fog patches especially on higher ground. Across the rest of the UK | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
look out for a fog patches are travelling and there's a Met Office | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
yellow warning in place for the North and north-east of England. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Also the risk of ice with rain falling onto frozen ground and the | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
rain will gradually spread from the West with snow on the Scottish | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
mountains and Eastern counties should stay dry. Wind picking up in | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the West with a high of nine in Belfast. In Wales tomorrow now | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
sparkling sunshine like today, cloudy with outbreaks of rain and | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
the temperature a little higher. South-easterly winds strong and | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
gusty on the western coasts. Tomorrow night mild and windy and | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
damp at times with heavy rain and stronger winds are riding, the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
temperature everywhere well above freezing. Friday starts with and | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
windy but heavy rain will clear and then it will brighten up with some | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
sunshine and look at those temperatures back into double | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
figures. Saturday dry and bright with the temperature above average | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
again but the is more rain on the way so the cold and frosty weather | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
is about to come to an end. From all of us on the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
programme, good night. | :09:53. | :09:56. |
