noisy, we did not really know if it was going to stop, if it was going

to continue. It was just a nightmare.

And Swansea celebrate being six points clear of the relegation zone

The crisis facing the Welsh steel industry is once again under

Industry bosses here have accused the UK government of being one

of the ringleaders in blocking attempts to prevent cheap Chinese

They also claimed that the EU had effectively put up a sign

encouraging China to dump its products in Europe.

Our political editor Nick Servini has more.

If we ever needed confirmation that the problems for the steel

industry were far from over, we got it today in spades

from senior figures of Wales' biggest plants.

The steel industry, not just in Wales, and actually not just

in the UK, but throughout Europe, currently suffers from what could be

described as a perfect storm of negative forces.

It has been well publicised over the last couple of years

that we have been suffering from a huge influx of Chinese material.

We have seen prices continue to drop, we have seen imports

from China increase into the UK and without further urgent action

from Wales and the UK, I think the situation is quite

Prices have stabilised slightly in the last month,

but the outlook again for us is not particularly bright.

They were giving evidence to the Assembly Members

on the Assembly's business committee but the criticism was directed far

Welsh steelworkers made their feelings known on a march

Today the bosses said the European Commission should be

doing more to deal with what they say is cheap Chinese steel

Yesterday in the US, a tariff of 266% was introduced

The equivalent tariff in the European Union is now 16%.

The committee was told that the result was that

the European Union had effectively put up a sign for Chinese producers

saying please dump here, you are welcome.

We see the European Commission has not really having the teeth

to actually deal with the flooding of Chinese exports coming in not

just to the UK but Europe as a whole.

At the heart of this is the attitude towards trade tariffs.

The UK Government gave evidence today saying it is putting

Ministers at Westminster believe more can be done within

But the industry wants Britain to push for a much

At the moment, that is being resisted because of fears

there would be too much of a lurch towards protectionism.

The European Commission has launched a number of investigations

into steel imports but there is growing concern that more action

needs to be taken to try and secure the remaining industry in Wales,

after 750 losses were announced in Port Talbot in January.

They have got to wake up and smell the coffee on this.

At the end of the day, we have got to have an industry

Many in the industry admit there is no silver bullet for steel

Nick is at Tata Steel in Port Talbot tonight.

Some serious accusations today from the steel industry. That is right. I

think we all knew the scale of the challenges facing steel plants like

this behind me the drug was interesting today was to see that

ferocity from the industry particularly level that the UK

Government and it was pretty brutal stuff at times, accusing ministers

of being late for the party, wanting to push things into the long grass

and most damaging damaging, being a ringleader in a group that was

resistant to increasing tariffs. I have spoken to the Department of

business in London tonight and they have given me a detailed list of all

the action they have taken to try and get Brussels to change on this

but you know there is a philosophical difference, they do

not believe in excessive tariffs because protectionism they say

damages the economy because it leads to increased prices across-the-board

and it leads to retaliatory action, or as you and I would call it, a

trade war. Ford and Toyota are already well

established in Wales. Now another luxury sports car

manufacturer says it's considering a new

production line here. TVR says a site in South Wales

is one of three around the UK that TVR, an iconic British brand that

could soon have a distinctly It has had a new lease of life

after it was bought by a group of investors in 2014 and last year,

it announced it was building a brand-new two seater sports car

designed and built in Britain, The company says it has stayed

deliberately tight-lipped about the new line so far but today

confirmed South Wales was one of three sites it was

considering to build it. We could easily be talking about 400

to 600 jobs in the future. And if you put on then

the usual knock-on jobs, that takes it well over 1000,

and I think what this car company would like to do as well is not

to use normal distribution systems, retailers, they would like people

to come down and take delivery of their car and possibly

at a racing site, so it could well be afraid to come down to south

Wales, they would likely facility on the Circuit of Wales,

if that occurs. It comes a week after another

iconic British brand, Aston Martin, announced that it

would build its new car in St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan,

creating 750 jobs. The Welsh Government gave

an undisclosed amount of money to Aston Martin as part of the deal,

but it is not clear whether TVR TVR says it will make a decision

on where the new site will be in the coming week is and production

could start as soon as next year. Two men aged 58 and 37

are in police custody, She was discovered in the century

wharf block of flats in Cardiff Bay earlier this afternoon.

Some hospital wards run by Cardiff and the Vale University Healthboard

have closed due to a Norovirus outbreak.

The healthboard is advising family and friends not to visit patients

in hospital if they are feeling unwell to stop the virus

The Secretary of State for Wales, Stephen Crabb, has been criticised

for missing most of a Welsh debate in the House of Commons.

MPs were told Mr Crabb had "parliamentary business elsewhere"

but he was photographed at a Conservative Party lunch

The Wales Office said it was common for junior ministers to reply

There's a "fair chance" schools in Wales will start teaching

a new curriculum by the deadline of 2021, according to the man

It's been a year since Professor Graham Donaldson

published his plans, which include making computer skills

as central to learning as literacy and numeracy.

But one union says the timetable set by the Welsh Government

Here's our education correspondent, Bethan Lewis.

Computer studies 1980s style. It was at this time that the present

curriculum was introduced but a big change to the way school children

are taught and the way they learn is on its way. This school is one of

the schools helping to develop the new curriculum, building on work it

is already doing in weaving different skills and subjects within

lessons. Pupils are not just receiving distinct subjects, 835

period week when they move from history to geography to IT. They are

now being exposed to a broader range of skills. The students do not even

recognise necessarily that they are being exposed to the skills. The new

curriculum aims to make digital and computer skills central to all

learning within schools, along with literacy and numeracy. It is less

focused on formal testing and it aims for more flexibility for

teachers to tailor their lessons around the central curriculum. At an

event in Cardiff today, the man who recommended the changes a year ago

gave an update on progress so far. He says has been encouraged by the

level of enthusiasm that will help in delivering the changes within the

timetable set by the Education Minister, he says. There is an

impatience to get moving with it and other people are saying it is not

look as if the time is long enough for us to be able to come to terms

with the new curriculum. I think that the process that has been put

in place as a pretty fair chance of getting us to the point at which by

2018 and beyond schools will be able to move forward in relation to

thinking about the curriculum and its indications for young people.

The current curriculum has been in place since the late 1980s. Some of

those you will be leading the change. There will be many meetings

like these of education experts, teachers and officials before the

new curriculum is taught in our classrooms. But they want the

teaching structure ready in two years and four children everywhere

to be taught the new curriculum in five. Some people here think that is

a tough timetable for such a big change. The timetable set by the

Education Minister is frankly too ambitious. We are supposed to get

all this done and dusted by 2018. It will not be done. Why do it in a

rush? Let's do it properly and take our time and build on the enthusiasm

that is there and get it finished a good curriculum for children in the

21st century. Change to the way young people are taught is welcomed

but all here agree that the hard work of putting the ideas into

practice is only just beginning. Welsh Labour needs to show it's

a truly Welsh party to succeed at May's assembly election,

according to its leader, He's seeking another

five years in office, but his opponents say that

after seventeen years in charge, In the latest in a series

of interviews with the party leaders as they prepare for the election

campaign, our political correspondent Daniel Davies has been

speaking to the First Minister. On the election campaign trail, you

have to remind people who you are. And what you stand for. Even if you

have been in government for 17 years. 17 years but the opposition

says Labour still does not have a good story to tell. I think we have

delivered a huge amount for people. We have ground-breaking laws, the

human transplantation act, we have the ability of course to shape our

education system, we would not have a 21st-century schools programme

without evolution and the investment we have seen in hospitals. We would

have a junior doctors strike in Wales. Labour feuding in Westminster

has not helped his cause, he says. What we have said is as Wales were

Welsh Labour, we are united, I am the leader. The policies we will do

that in Wales are formed in Wales. Policies by providing 30 hours of

childcare a week. A think tank has questioned whether that will really

help mothers get to work. Labour has also pledged to create 100,000

apprenticeships over the next five years, roughly the same amount as

over the last five. And the party would set up a fund to pay for new

treatments on the NHS. A Welsh party and a pro-business government, is

that his code to distance himself from Jeremy Corbyn? This is my way

of differentiating Welsh Labour as a party. We have done this in

elections past. The election is a straight fight with the Tories, says

Carwyn Jones. If so, it could be decided by voters in places like

this, Cardiff North. There will be lots on offer to the voters this

spring but Carwyn Jones wants to narrow down the options and convince

you this is an either or election. Either you keep him as First

Minister or hand over the reins to the Conservatives. He and his wife

have two children at school. Does he ever think about life away from

politics where he could spend more time with them? The honest answer is

yes, it has been difficult for the family. My children have only known

me as a minister and they Jamaica -- you do make sacrifices in this job.

I spend my spare time with the family. You do make sacrifices. What

is it that makes you think it is worth continuing to make those

sacrifices? I love the job. It is for other people to decide whether I

stay in it, obviously. The other people, the voters, will decide

whether or not to show him the door on May five.

It was meant to be a dream home but after spending hundreds

of thousands of pounds renovating it, part of a property

in Milford Haven is now too unsafe to use.

A cliff next to the house started crumbling and rocks and boulders

came crashing down on to the property in Hakin.

Its owner is now concerned about the potential

Ever since she was a child, it was Ozra Johnson's dream

Ozra and her husband bought it 20 years ago and have

raised their family here and in the process spent hundreds

of thousands of pounds renovating it.

But in recent years the cliff next to it has started to give way

with rocks and boulders crashing down on to the house.

Ozra told me how she's had to abandon several

And as you can see, it has gone back to the basic.

You had just finished it, it was a brand-new bathroom.

We had just finished renovating an ensuite and here we are,

Pembrokeshire County Council who maintain a footpath on the cliff

edge have had to block access to it but say they do not own the land

over which the path is located so are not liable.

While Welsh Water who own a sewer pipe which runs through the land say

they only own the pipe and are not responsible for repairing any damage

To make the cliff safe, Ozra's been told it could cost

It could be along the lines of ?300,000.

And that is money that is not available for the average person.

But there is also the effect of liability of the cliff as well.

It's now feared that there could be further landslips which could leave

While Swansea City celebrate a shock 2-1 win over Arsenal,

their manager remains in hospital tonight with a chest infection.

Francesco Guidolin is said to be delighted with the result which sees

the Swans six points clear of the relegation zone.

The Italian will be hoping he's out in time for their match

It is clear what the last nights win means to this lot. And to

appropriate, as the numbers went in favour of Swansea last night.

Swansea went to the Emirates needing a win.

But it was Arsenal who dominated the opening exchanges.

The impressive Joel Campbell sliding to open Arsenal's account.

But then the cracks in their plan started to emerge

Weak play by Mesut Ozil led to Jack Cork creating the Swansea

equaliser, rounded off by Wayne Routledge.

Swansea have won their last four league encounters here,

a mix of endeavour and, last night, luck.

The woodwork playing its part in denying Olivier Giroud

and this free kick from Alexis Sanchez.

But it was the man who marshalled the Swansea back four expertly that

Whether he intended to or not, they all count.

Not a lot of people thought we would get anything coming

to the Emirates but we've got a good record here and ready to pick up

We will take that and we will move on to a very

difficult and important game against Norwich on Saturday.

It is a great atmosphere and it is a reminder

of what it is like to win games at this level.

Swansea are edging away from the relegation zone,

The fans and players united in celebration

because they know what it means to the club and the city.

Staying with football, and Wales manager Chris Coleman has

revealed he's set to open talks about extending his

Ideally, we will know what we are doing before we go

to the tournament, so everybody is settled.

I can't really, if I am honest, stop thinking about this tournament.

I have got to make sure that we get it right,

A quieter, dry day, but it'll turn colder and windy overnight

This weather system pushes through overnight, bringing spells

of rain, some snow and stronger winds, clearing northwards

for a time, then swinging back southwards tomorrow.

So tonight, a band of rain, sleet and a warning of snow

above 200m - 1-4cm possible, especially across North Wales.

As that front moves through, it clears northwards overnight,

Temperatures hovering around freezing with a frost and ice risk.

Then that front moves back southwards across Wales tomorrow,

bringing a second wave of rain and some snow.

More likely to see those blustery, wintry showers in the north.

That front very slowly moving back southwards through the day,

bringing a mix of rain, sleet and some snow,

Highs of just four Celsius in Powys, six on Anglesey.

That band of rain sleet and snow continues to clear

Clear skies developing from the north.

Frost and ice likely again early Saturday.

Then a brief ridge of high pressure starts to build

Winds turn more northerly, introducing colder arctic air.

A widespread frost to start the weekend.

Then a cold but largely dry Saturday.

Variable cloud, maybe the odd wintry shower for Pembrokeshire,

but brisk northerly winds, gale force along the coast.

Highs of six or seven Celsius, but with a real windchill.

But fairly quiet and settled for the weekend.

Possibly a bit brighter, but it'll stay cold throughout,

with sunny spells, variable cloud, maybe the odd wintry shower.

With thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain more likely later

Finally a picture of the snow taken in the hills around Conwy from one
