Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Accused of forcing vulnerable men to do heavy labour | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
against their will - four men go on trial. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
A "plan for prosperity" which will "get the country moving" - | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Capping the cost - Calls for mobile phone companies | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
to help people stop getting into debt and to make | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
All in all, they've taken ?2,500 in two months of extra | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
We'll also be in training with triathlete Helen Jenkins, | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
who's setting her sights on the Rio Olympics. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
And we're in Llanelli on the second day of our two-week tour of Wales. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
We're looking at jobs and training, and finding out what the political | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
parties have to say ahead of the election. | :00:44. | :01:02. | |
The trial has begun of four people accused of forcing two vulnerable | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
men to carry out heavy labour under threat of violence. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Cardiff Crown Court heard the men slept in cold sheds and on concrete | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
floors and would be beaten if they refused to carry | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The jury was told one of them lived in those conditions for 26 years. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Patrick Joseph Connors, now 59, run it or making business. Today the | :01:23. | :01:41. | |
prosecution said he chose vulnerable customers, charged inflated prices | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
and forced two men to work against their will -- tarmacking business. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
He also renovated properties. When he bought a farm on the outskirts of | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Cardiff the prosecution say it was derelict and the men lived there | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
with no running water and no heat. Such were the conditions they in | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Jordan over a long period, it was said, one tried to escape four | :02:05. | :02:16. | |
times. When he ran away, he was spotted, forced into a car and | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
brought back. He was threatened with beating and told when he was gone | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
that no one would miss him. The other man, it was said, ran away to | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Scotland but was picked up in Aberdeen, put in a car boot and | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
later beaten. The prosecution said after this he thought he would never | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
be free. Conditions, say the prosecution, were appalling. For | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
years, the men worked long hours living in sheds, garages and tin | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
huts, ill or injured, they were forced to work, treated like objects | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
which could be abused, it was said. The court heard when interviewed by | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
police, Patrick Joseph Connors denied any wrongdoing and insisted | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
he had looked after the two Manuel and paid them properly. He has | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
pleaded not guilty to eight counts of assault, four of kidnap and one | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
of conspiracy to kidnap. All four defendants deny all the charges | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
against them including one count of forced or compulsory Labour. The | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
case is expected to last six weeks. A mother of two from Merthyr Tydfil | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
died after taking drugs to help her lose weight, | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
an inquest has heard. Kirsty Hughes, who was 26, | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
collapsed at home after taking Her family told the inquest she had | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
been upset at being called fat, and she hoped the drug would help | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
make her slim. A man from Wrexham who is missing | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
in Peru was reportedly seen by a local man shortly | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
after his family 29-year-old Harry Greaves went | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
on a mountain walk on the 7th of April, and hasn't | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
contacted his family since. The man says he saw him heading | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
towards the village of Pisac, where teams are now | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
focussing the search. Mr Greaves' MP, Ian Lucas, | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
highlighted the case in Parliament. We are all pulling together | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
to ensure that the Peruvian government, the embassy staff | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
on the ground and the Foreign Office in the UK are working together to do | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
everything that we can There is a huge amount of work | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
being done by the family. Harry's mother has gone over | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
there with his cousin. They have raised publicity in the | :04:06. | :04:19. | |
area so people in per room know that Harry is missing. -- people in Peru. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
The Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones says his party has the ideas | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Launching its Assembly election manifesto at Coleg y Cymoedd | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Labour said it would | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
"continue to deliver jobs and investment". | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Our Political Reporter Paul Martin was there. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Here at Coleg y Cymoedd in Nantgarw, they're training the aviation | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Last summer, Welsh Labour suffered something of a crash landing | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
at the general election, but the party says it's now | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
on a different flight path after talking to voters. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
The details of that journey are published here today. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
A new NHS treatment fund for life-threatening illnesses. | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
An extension of Labour's programme to build or modernise schools. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
A commitment to bring fast broadband to every property in Wales. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
30 hours of free childcare for parents of three- and four-year-olds | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
And another 100,000 apprenticeships, open to people of all ages. | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
After 17 years in power, the obvious question to Labour | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
whenever it comes up with a new policy is, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
But Carwyn Jones told me the party is still full of fresh ideas. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
We need to build on what we've done, that's true, but what we didn't do | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
"Vote for us because we're a bit better than the rest." | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
We have six pledges that are ambitious, that | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
We can't promise any number of pie-in-the-sky ideas, | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
because people expect us to deliver on them, so it is a question | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
of building on what we've done so far and also of course looking | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
The manifesto is also interesting because of what's not in it. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
There is a promise to build an M4 relief road, but no commitment | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
And on redrawing the council map, as expected, there's | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
a promise to cut the number of local authorities, | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
but the manifesto doesn't say how many there will be. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Keeping these pledges may raise a few eyebrows, but it also gives | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Labour some wriggle room if it needs to work with other parties | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
-- keeping these pledges they may raise a few eyebrows. | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
And Paul's here now with more detail on one of those policies - | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
the party's plan for an M4 relief road. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
Yes, the idea of an M4 relief road to ease congestion is around Newport | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
is one of the longest running sagas in Welsh politics. It has been | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
promised for years but nothing has happened. Labour over the last five | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
years was committed to what is known as the black Root, a new stretch of | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
motorway around Newport costing around ?1 billion. While in | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Government party spent millions of pounds on preparation, but there is | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
no commitment to that route in the manifesto. The interesting thing | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
politically as the position of the other parties. The Lib Dems, Plaid | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Cymru and Ukip are against the Black Root and would prefer the upgrade of | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
an existing a road while the Welsh Conservatives are yet to decide what | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
they favour. The key point is that after the 5th of May, if no party | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
has overall control in the Assembly, some sort of deal will have to be | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
done if any road takes place, so Labour has kept its options open, | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
but one thing is clear, this long-running debate over whether a | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
relief road will happen and what it might look like is not going away. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Paul, thank you. The leader of the Liberal Democrats | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
in the UK says his party is on the up after last year's | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
catastrophic General Tim Farron was at a building company | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
in Brecon as part of a two-day tour of some of his party's key Assembly | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
target seats in its traditional He said that party membership | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
in Wales had increased The Welsh Conservatives have | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
defended their claim that savings of ?1 billion in the NHS, | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
or 14 per cent of the entire budget, The party says the efficiency | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
savings would be reinvested back The other parties have described | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
them as "wild and ridiculous." Our Political Editor, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Nick Servini, is at the Senedd. Nick, how much of | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
a challenge is this? We talk about the size of the NHS | :08:26. | :08:39. | |
budget all the time, we talk about a system that is under strain, but we | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
don't talk about efficiency savings that much, partly I think because it | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
is predicated on a degree of waste in the system. That changed today | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
with these I catching claims from the Welsh Conservatives that there | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
is up to ?1 billion of waste in the budget, 14% of the entire amount | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
spent on it every year in Wales. The party says they haven't just magic. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
That figure, it comes from comments made by a senior NHS manager to a | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
committee at the Assembly seven years ago. What's more, they say | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
those comments seven years ago are just as relevant now as they were | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
back then. The leader in Wales, Andrew Arty Davies, has outlined | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
some ways they could make those savings. Whatever way you try to do | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
it, it is a hugely ambitious figure. Since 1970, the average efficiency | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
savings in the NHS across the UK have been just 1%. It is currently | :09:36. | :09:49. | |
3% in Wales, 3% in England, and they are struggling to meet it in | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
England. Adam Roberts from the think tank the Health Foundation outlined | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
to me how difficult it is to achieve even a relatively modest 3% saving. | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
It needs a clear strategy for how this can be achieved. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
It's very easy for politicians to say, | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
"We will achieve 3% efficiency growth," | :10:03. | :10:03. | |
but without a clear plan of where these things | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
are going to come from and how, crucially, staff are going to be | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
supported to achieve these savings, without that credible plan, | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
it makes it very hard to understand how that higher | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
What have the other party said on this issue? Plaid Cymru were the | :10:14. | :10:25. | |
first of the parties when they publish their manifesto to talk | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
about efficiency savings. They have come up with a figure of ?300 | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
million, about 4%. The Liberal Democrats say the current savings | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
are reasonable, but really don't want to get sucked into speculation | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
made up figures, as they call it. Labour today have described | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
efficiency savings as a euphemism for cuts, while Ukip say they would | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
introduce a review to try to introduce any waste -- reduce waste | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
in the system. Clearly all the parties accept that some degree of | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
savings have to be made. The difference of opinion is in how much | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
and exactly how to do it. Nick, thank you. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
There's still much more to come before 7:00pm. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
Putting four years of injuries well behind her - | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
former world champion triathlete Helen Jenkins sets her sights | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
And we can look forward to lengthy spells of sunshine tomorrow, but is | :11:14. | :11:26. | |
it going to last? Full details in a few minutes. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
The mobile phone industry needs to be better regulated to stop | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
people falling into debt, a charity has warned. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Citizens Advice Cymru also told BBC Wales that action is needed to stop | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
mobile phone companies using what appear to be "bullying | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
When Dr Geoff Lloyd took out a mobile phone contract | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
for his 17-year-old son, he says he was told by the phone | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
company EE that the contract was capped at ?13.99 a month. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
However, he ended up having to pay more than ?3,500. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
He was gobsmacked, he said, when he received a letter | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
from his bank saying that EE were trying to withdraw ?1,500 | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
I thought it must be a dreadful mistake, so I went to the bank, | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
only to find that they'd already taken ?1,000 out the month before, | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
and then several hundred pounds out previous to that, too. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
So all in all, they've taken ?2,500 in two months of extra charges. | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
It turned out that the contract wasn't capped, and that Dr Lloyd's | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
son had used more minutes than he was allowed, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
so Dr Lloyd came here to the shop where he had signed a contract | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
He was told he'd have to phone customer services, | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
but he said despite calling lots of times, he found it | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
very difficult to speak to anyone directly, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
and while he was in the process of disputing the debt, | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
I had a letter arriving on my doorstep saying that first of all, | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
they were going to destroy my credit ratings if I didn't pay | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
And then a week later, a further letter saying | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
that they were going to send bailiffs around to collect goods | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
EE lost the case in the Small Claims Court, | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
and had to pay Dr Lloyd more than ?3,700. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Citizens Advice deals with 62,000 similar complaints a year. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
A credit card company will look at how much you can afford to pay, | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
and they will set a limit for that credit card. | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
We think that should happen with mobile phones as well. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
They should look at how much you are able to afford, | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
and they should cap that bill, then, for example at ?30 a month. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
EE says the contract wasn't capped, and clearly stated that extra calls | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
It says there are many ways to monitor usage, | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
and options to control spending, such as pay-as-you-go. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Automated letters were sent because the industry adjudicator | :13:51. | :13:51. | |
The regulator, Ofcom, says it's working with providers and citizens | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
But Dr Lloyd is still worried about others in similar situations. | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
evicted and made homeless, and for a company to use these | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
bullying tactics to extract these iniquitous sums from people who have | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
gone over without realising they could... | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
With the Assembly election just over two weeks away, | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
we're travelling the length and breadth of the country | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
exploring the issues that matter in your community. | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
After starting our tour in Haverfordwest yesterday, | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
today's stop is Llanelli, where we can join Jamie now. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
We're on the beautiful Loughor Estuary between | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
This area has been in the headlines because of the uncertainty | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
So jobs and employment are very much at the front of people's minds | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
as we get closer to the Assembly election in just over two weeks. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
Our business correspondent, Brian Meechan, has been to one | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
company to find out how it's training its workforce. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
At Castell Howell Foods, cut the carcass badly and it | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Its new butchery facility near Llanelli has been operating | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Staff are trained here and also study at training centres as part | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
This company's been operating for just over 30 years, | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
and is one of the biggest employers in the area. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
It now has 600 staff, and sales of over ?94 million a year. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
When the company started its boning line in 2008, the shortage | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
of skilled butchers meant it recruited from Eastern Europe. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Migrant workers make up around 5% of the total workforce. | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
Those butchers are now passing on their skills to a new generation | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
of young people, like 19-year-old apprentice Dewi Davies. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
When I left school at 16 I thought, "I'll become a butcher now, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
nice good trade, and I can go anywhere with it," and I started | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
working here down in Carmarthen, then came up here to | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
Well, just developed my skills as a butcher, really. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Middle managers also attend leadership courses at | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Companies have to when sure that workers are trained | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
continuously from director level to the shop floor. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
Castell Howell is now setting up a butchery academy | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
It started with an assessment in literacy and numeracy, so that | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
would give you the foundation to progress to be NVQ level two, | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
So the classroom training is supplemented by on-the-block | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
training, so we get the best of both worlds. | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Skills are in short supply across the country. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Around third of vacancies in Wales are described as hard to fill. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
But at 31%, it's a bit lower than the UK average of 33%. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Staff training is also increasing, but there are still skills shortages | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
in writing and understanding instructions and with | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
Wales performs better on computer literacy | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
and IT than other parts of the UK, though. | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
But many small businesses argued that it's easier | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
for the bigger companies to absorb the cost of training. | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
If we train a percentage of our workforce, then the time | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
of the shop floor would be no different to a smaller business. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
If we train a percentage of our workforce, then the time off | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
the shop floor would be no different to a smaller business. | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
However, we'd like to see it as an investment in the staff. | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Larger firms need a conveyor belt of talent to keep the business | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
going, but smaller ones can find it more difficult to commit the time | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
and money needed to provide workers with more skills, especially | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
when they may not be able to keep them afterwards. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
In the end, both will be looking to see how the parties are offering | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
to help them do this in the next Assembly. | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Apprenticeships are of course the lifeblood of all businesses in | :17:58. | :18:10. | |
Wales. That's right, businesses across Wales will tell you skills | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
are one of the biggest issues they face in terms of trying to grow | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
their businesses. That is the message from business groups. They | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
have been lobbying the parties ahead of this election. In apprenticeships | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Labour have said they will create 100,000, Plaid Cymru 50,000, tens of | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
thousands for the Liberal Democrats, thousands by the Conservatives. Ukip | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
said they want vocational college training with businesses, which | :18:35. | :18:46. | |
shows how central it is. I would say that Wales has a good reputation for | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
apprenticeships in terms of quality. England have gone to the numbers | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
game and perhaps not have the same quality. We have been understandably | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
preoccupied with big business in this neck of the woods, Tata | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
dominating for so long, but what have the political parties said | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
about help for small businesses Mark Keller essentially all, certainly | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Lib Dem 's, have all said cutting business rates | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
for the smallest companies will be helpful. That may have also talked | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
about a development bank which small businesses were looking for, extra | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
access finance after banks stopped lending. Thank you very much. We are | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
spending the next two weeks travelling across Wales to find out | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
about the issues that matter to you ahead of the Welsh | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
election on the 5th of May, just over two weeks away. We have been | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
have a food -- Haverfordwest, tonight in Llanelli, and tomorrow we | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
will be in Machynlleth, looking at a job -- finding a job in all Wales. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Here is Jennifer Jones with the rest of the day 's news. | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
Two-time world triathlon champion Helen Jenkins says she's excited | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
about moving on from four years of injuries and setbacks | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
as she sets her sights on competing at this summer's Olympics. | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
The Great Britain triathlon team will be confirmed in a few weeks, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
but after a gold medal in Australia recently, the 32-year-old from | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
Bridgend is confident of her place, as Iwan Griffiths reports. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Those moments when the alarm clock goes off at 5am and you're, like... | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
But those 5am starts, hours on end in the water, | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
on two wheels and on the road, set Helen apart when she put | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
together a perfect race in the Australian leg | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Gold in the Gold Coast at exactly the right time for | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
It's yet to be confirmed, but Jenkins is now confident she'll | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
be on the plane to compete in her third Games. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
I didn't really believe it could happen, I was just focusing | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
on just doing the best I could, I knew training had gone well | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
and that's all I'd focused on, so after the race, it's been a bit | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
of a shock to actually incorporate Rio into my consciousness. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
The two-time world champion is currently leading | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
Helen Jenkins is back to her best after what's been | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
It's not nice seeing your wife going to bed crying, waking up crying. | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
We've got commitments to the federation, to | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
sponsors, to deliver on what they are investing in, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
and fortunately now she has delivered on it, but it's not nice - | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
it's not a great position to be in when you're working hard | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
for something and your body just won't let you do it. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Helen has a genetic problem with her back. | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
It leads to fitness issues other athletes don't have to deal with. | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
But recent injuries and disappointments mean | :21:31. | :21:31. | |
the 32-year-old is laid back about her goals in Rio. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
I'm going to go and see what happens and enjoy it, and, yeah... | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
If I came away with a medal, great, but if I didn't, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
I'm really happy with what I've achieved, so... | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
For the Jenkinses, husband and wife, it's time for the perfect team | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Cardiff City manager Russell Slade says he's well aware | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
of the importance of tonight's Championship match at Brentford. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
His side are five points adrift of Sheffield Wednesay | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
in the final play-off position with four games remaining. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Meanwhile, Newport County, who can guarantee League 2 | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
survival with a win, are up against Oxford | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
There's just one Welshman remaining at the Snooker World Championship | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
in Sheffield after Ryan Day was knocked out. | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
He lost ten frames to three against four-time winner John Higgins. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Mark Williams' second-round match on Friday will be against either | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
The sun was shining in Llanelli this evening - | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
I wonder how it's looking for the rest of us? | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
Thank you. Most of us are enjoying fine evening sunshine tonight and we | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
can look forward to another glorious day tomorrow. It will be another | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
chilly start tomorrow morning but at least there is sunshine to help | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
temperatures recover as the day goes on. Tonight, Fairweather cloud | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
across the south tending to clear, most of us should see starry skies | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
tonight and with light when maybe frost forming, also missed and fog | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
into early tomorrow morning. Temperatures around two Celsius. The | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
wind will be light as well. Tomorrow high-pressure in charge of the | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
weather and we can look forward to dry and sunny conditions, a settled | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
day. Low pressure to the south of us, taking charge through Thursday | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
and Friday. Let's enjoy the high-pressure tomorrow! First thing | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
tomorrow morning, for the fresh row -- rush-hour, sunshine and the | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
south-east, and in the north-east the wind is light. A sunny morning | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
for the rush-hour in the north coast, and in North West Wales we | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
could see a breezy start, cold for most of us as well, fine and sunny | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
in mid Wales, parts of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Swansea looking fine for the start of tomorrow as well. As the sunshine | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
gets to work it will be warmer, so perhaps grabbed the sunscreen | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
tomorrow. Lovely blue skies but also the wind picking up along the south | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
coast. That will take the edge of the temperature. Around the coast | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
feeling warm, temperatures 12-16dC, perhaps their weather cloud as we | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
head into the afternoon. With that we could also see the odd shower. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Temperatures 12-16dC. A cold night at first but cloud starts to | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
increase from the South as we going to tomorrow night, which was the | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
temperatures dropping to much. We still have clearer skies further | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
north, so low single figures, two or three Celsius weather sky stays | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
clear. Under the cloud, quad-mac- seven. -- 4-7. On Thursday the high | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
pushed away by low pressure, so we would start to see the front | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
approaching and the weather will change a little and we will lose the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
sunshine as well. First thing on Thursday, yes, a bright start but | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
cloud will increase from the south, like rain or drizzle with that. The | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
best dryer and brighter weather the further north you are. Temperatures | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
not a spy, 11-14dC and the easterly breeze picking up, so a touch cooler | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
than today. As we head into the weekend we will start to drag in | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
colder, at De Gea, so with that, more brightness but it will feel | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
colder as well and we will see the return of frosty nights. Enjoy the | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
sunshine tomorrow, it is getting colder as we head to the weekend. | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
A reminder of our top story tonight. The trial has begun four people | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
forcing two vulnerable men to carry out heavy labour under threat of | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
violence. Cardiff Crown Court heard they slept in sheds and on concrete | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
floors and would be threatened with beating if they refuse to carry out | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
their boss's demands. I'll be back with a quick | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
update at 8:00pm, and more Thanks for watching, | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
have a good evening | :25:51. | :25:55. |
