Welcome to Wales Today, our top stories... | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Men who pose a high risk of domestic violence are to be given one-to-one | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And men at work - unemployment has fallen again, | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
now standing at 80,000, but the rate is still higher | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Men in South Wales with the potential to kill or | :00:18. | :00:41. | |
seriously harm their partners will be given one-to-one support | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
The Drive programme focuses on the perpetrators, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
not the victims, of domestic violence and is being trialled | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
in Merthyr Tydfil, and could be introduced across the UK. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Rachel Williams from Newport suffered | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
He then hanged himself in a nearby forest. | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
Her son was found dead in the same spot six weeks later. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
She believes men like her former husband need direct intervention | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Finally find the courage, filed for divorce and left him. | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
And then, Friday the 19th of August, he came to my place of work | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
He aimed at my chest and told me he loved me and pulled the trigger. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
If we don't deal with the perpetrators, they are just | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
We need to try and change their mindset. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Now a pilot, aimed at targeting the most dangerous offenders, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
a one-to-one scheme working with violent abusers who may | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
This woman, who doesn't want to be identified, says her partner | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
was violent towards her for 18 years. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
She managed to escape by pretending she needed to see a doctor. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
But she doesn't believe any degree of intervention would have | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
convinced him what he was doing was wrong. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
These men, or even women - I know it can work both ways - | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
they have a way of charming people, that they're actually doing | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
what they say, but underneath, they never change, and | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
And I don't understand how a one-to-one perpetrator programme | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
would work with people that won't actually admit | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
The charities behind this recognise they won't reach everyone, | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
but feel this pilot programme offers one of the best chances | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Abusers identified by the authorities will have to cooperate. | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
The sessions will deal with any drug or alcohol problems, | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
But those who don't take part will be dealt with by | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
The main domestic violence organisation in Wales welcomes | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
the Drive programme, but doesn't want it to take money | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
away from other services, like refuges, which they say | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
are already facing an uncertain financial future. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Perpetrator programmes are something we've been calling for for a long | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
The concern is really that this is seen as part of the solution | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
and doesn't take funding away from those vital survivor | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
This woman leads this programme wouldn't have worked for her. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
But this pilot is aimed at intervening in the most extreme | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Unemployment here has fallen again, with the number of people out | :03:40. | :03:53. | |
of work in Wales now standing at 80,000. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
That's down 12,000 from the previous quarter. | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
However, the rate of unemployment in Wales, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
at 5.3%, is still higher than the UK rate of 5.1%. | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
A 40-year-old Romanian man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
for raping a 20-year-old woman in Cardiff in September last year. | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
Newport Crown Court heard Remus Hamza attacked the woman close | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
to Cardiff University in the early hours of the morning. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
The jury took less than an hour to reach a guilty verdict. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
With just under three months to go until the Assembly elections, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Plaid Cymru are first out of the blocks in | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
Plaid's Leader, Leanne Wood, says she wants to concentrate | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
on the NHS and says, after 17 years of Labour rule, | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
it's time for a change. Here's Arwyn Jones. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
From Cardiff City's changing room, a call for change from Plaid Cymru. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
The party says its team of star strikers are ready to go on to form | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the next government and send Labour to the sub's bench. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Its pitch will include 1000 more doctors and 5000 more nurses, | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
There's also a promise on cancer diagnosis within 28 days, | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
although the average time at the moment is only 22 days. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
On education, the party will introduce free preschool care | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
Students will have to pay their full tuition fees, but debts will be | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
written off if graduates return to work in Wales within five years | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
We make no apology for attempting to address this problem, | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
whereby some of the brightest students leave the country | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
We want those to make a contribution back in this country. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
We want to see a return on their investment | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
-- We want to see a return on our investment | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
On the economy, Plaid says it will cut business rates | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
and undertake what it calls the biggest investment | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
since devolution on transport and home energy efficiency schemes. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Over the last three Assembly elections, Plaid support | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
has remained stubbornly static at best. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
And, with Ukip seemingly increasing its support according | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
to opinion polls, it might make life difficult for Plaid | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
If Labour is having a difficult year and losing some support, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
maybe in the past Plaid for many voters would've been | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
But now, we have a new... a new party competing. | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
So, strong words on the need for change here today. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
But how likely is it that she will be the First Minister | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Now, opinion polls suggest that Plaid Cymru will really struggle | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
In the past, they have gone into coalition with Labour, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
but today has been all about the need to get rid | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Their leader, Leanne Wood, says she won't take the party | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
into government with the Conservatives. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
So the path to power for Plaid Cymru, to enact all these | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Arwyn Jones, BBC Wales Today, Cardiff City Stadium. | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
Airbus, which manufactures wings at its plant at Broughton | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
in Flintshire, has welcomed a multi-million pound deal | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
It will order six A350s, with possibly another six to follow. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Airbus has sold nearly 800 of these planes to more than 40 airlines, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
making it one of the most successful wide-bodied aircraft ever. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
The new prison being built in Wrexham is | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
Schools and community groups were invited to come up with names | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
for the ?250 million complex, which is due to open next year | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
The name was inspired by the surrounding landscape. | :07:32. | :07:43. | |
Snooker and, in the Welsh Open, Ronnie O'Sullivan has breezed | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
through to the fourth round, thrashing Jimmy Robertson 4-0. | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Wales' Michael White has also made it through, | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Not such good news for Ryan Day or Matthew Stevens - | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
they're both out of the competition after losing in the third round. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
A cold night lies ahead. Derek's got the forecast. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
