coming on BBC Two, special programme asking what kind | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Our headlines tonight: Steel workers wait to learn which bidders | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
are in the frame to buy Tata's UK operations. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
And the lorry driver who collided with a crane on the M4 - | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
killing the other driver - escapes jail after a plea | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
The deadline for bidders for Tata's UK steel plants closed today, | :00:21. | :00:43. | |
with several companies having expressed an interest. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
The Indian operator - which employs 7,000 people in Wales - | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
has put its sites up for sale, including at Port Talbot, Newport, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Two of the highest profile bidders have said they would be | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Tata has made it clear no buyer has been allowed to reach this stage, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
unless it has been willing to take on Port Talbot, which is making | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
There are eight potential bidders identified as interested parties. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
They include the newly formed Excalibur management buyout team | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
headed by the senior Tata director Stuart Wilkie. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Liberty Steel and Greybull Capital have both already bought smaller | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
Chinese, Indian and American companies are also said to be | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
interested, as well as Endless, a private equity | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
American billionaire Wilbur Ross has also emerged as a potential buyer. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Steel experts warn that whoever takes over has a tough job ahead. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
We have significant overcapacity in the industry. | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
Some commentators have calculated it could be between 30 | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
and 50% over capacity, so to make an industry | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
internationally competitive in those conditions is a real challenge. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
After a meeting in Mumbai later this week, a shortlist of two or three | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
The companies have all signed agreements not to disclose | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
information, but two went public before that. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Excalibur, led by Stuart Wilkie, is the management buyout team | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
which would implement the turnaround plan to make Port Talbot profitable. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Liberty Steel in Newport is another bidder, its boss plans to change | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
production at Port Talbot from making steel from | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
But it aims to do both in the short term. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Both bids have strengths and weaknesses. | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
It's emerged that they could work more closely together in future. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Some companies such as the US steel-maker Newcore are reported | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
to have cooled on the idea of taking over Tata's UK operations. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The UK Goverment, which is willing to take a 25% stake in the company | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
with any new buyer, say some are being put off by | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
These days, it's very common when a deal is going | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
through the seller has a large benefit deficit, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
which scan scupper the deal, so I think the potential buyer, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
it's not my problem, maybe of the previous employer. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Tata is aiming for a sale by the end of June, an ambitious timeline | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
for a deal of this size and complexity, but it hopefully | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
provides a bit more certainty for workers, their families | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
and the local community if they see the process moving forward. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Cardiff Crown Court has heard that a 17-month-old boy was murdered | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
by his mother's boyfriend and that she lied to cover it up. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
The jury was told that Finley Thomas suffered | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
"catastrophic" head injuries, after allegedly being | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
His mother, Chloe Thomas, claimed he had fallen down the stairs. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Mr Buckley denies murder, while they both deny cruelty | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
More than 20,000 Welsh jobs could be lost within two years | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
That's according to the Chancellor, George Osborne. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
New analysis from the Treasury, of the implications of Brexit, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
suggests 500,000 jobs could go across the UK. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
But Vote Leave Cymru described it as "scaremongering" and that leaving | :04:27. | :04:26. | |
the EU would mean the UK would be free to trade with the whole world. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
A lorry driver who collided with a crane on the M4 - | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
killing the other driver - has escaped jail after a plea | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Tanker driver Carl Askew admitted causing the death | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
But Mr Coleman's widow asked that he be spared prison | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
because he didn't intend to kill the grandfather-to-be. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
Rush hour on the M4 in Cardiff on November 2nd last year. | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
There's traffic chaos following this collision on the | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
A tanker collided with a mobile crane, sending the crane hurtling | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
The crane driver, 50-year-old Michael Coleman, from | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
The man responsible for his death, 46-year-old tanker driver | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Carl Askew, pleaded guilty to causing death | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
spared a possible jail term, after his victim's family asked | :05:17. | :05:29. | |
In her victim impact statement, Michael Coman's partner | :05:30. | :05:30. | |
Wendy Ann Randall said she did not bear malice to the driver. | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
A sentiment echoed by Mr Coleman's son. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
He is going to have enough suffering, knowing full well, | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
through his careless actions, he has caused my father's death. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
We don't want any more suffering to come from that. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
My dad wouldn't want that, he would want him | :05:52. | :05:51. | |
beyond the situation, to learn from the situation, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
move on and try to be happy, as we are trying | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
It wouldn't make sense for us to want more to come from this. | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
The judge, David Wynne Morgan, said Mr Coleman's family wishes that | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Carl Askew should not face an immediate custodial sentence, | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
was an act of astonishing generosity in circumstances, | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
and it would be a hard-hearted court that failed to | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
The judge asked the court to take a moment for those | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
who knew Michael Coleman, to reflect upon their loss. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Mr Askew received a suspended sentence for causing death | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
by careless driving, and was banned from driving | :06:30. | :06:30. | |
Nick Pallit BBC Wales Today, Cardiff Crown Court. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
The body responsible for overseeing the environment in Wales has | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Natural Resources Wales has concerns over the impact of the so-called | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
"black route" on nature sites and protected species. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
A multi-million pound refurbishment has begun | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
on the Elan Valley Aqueduct, which has been carrying water | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
from Powys to Birmingham for more than a century. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
It runs for more than 70 miles and is the only source of water | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
The existing aqueduct is actually in pretty good condition, | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
But, during our routine inspections, we have noted we do have some | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
sections that are deteriorating, we do have some cracks. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
So, in a proactive approach, what we have got going on today, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
and the arrival of the tunnelling machine, is laying a new sectionm | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
to run alongside the existing, that we can tie at on either end. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Football and just weeks before this summer's European Championships, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Chris Coleman has agreed a new deal to stay on as Wales Manager | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
He said he was honoured and delighted to put pen to paper. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
There have been times I'v come away from a certain meeting, | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
really frustrating, thinking this is not going to happen, | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
and I'm quite sure it's the same for the FA Cup, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
"We can't get over the line, we're too far apart." | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
But I think that tells you that both parties want to get it sorted out. | :07:57. | :08:10. | |
Well, we can look forward to more sunshine tomorrow. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Tonight is a chilly night with a north-westerly flow | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Clear skies, light winds and temperatures dipping away. | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
We could see frost in the countryside with the lows of 3 | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
or 4 Celsius, but it is a dry night and dry start tomorrow. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
High pressure is in charge and we can look forward | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
First thing tomorrow morning, it is a chilly start but we do have | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
plenty of sunshine around and that will help the temperatures | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
I think by the afternoon, we will see just a few | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
For the rest of the British Isles, the further east you are, | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Further west, more chance of sunshine, temperatures | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
In Wales tomorrow afternoon, the odd shower. | :08:59. | :09:11. | |
Dry weather with sunshine, feeling warmer than today, | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
those temperatures between 15 to 18 Celsius, the lighter winds coming | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Tomorrow night, clear skies at first, again | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Overnight, a weather front approaches and brings cloud | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
A chilly night with lows of five Celsius. | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
Wednesday, the risk of a few showers, cooler and cloudier, | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Temperatures much cooler than recently, between | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
We will see light rain into Thursday, especially | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
across parts of the northeast, another cooler and cloudy day | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
with highs of 13 to 16 Celsius, looking warmer into the weekend | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
with a mixture of sunshine and showers. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. | :09:51. | :10:12. | |
When you're first diagnosed, you think, "That's it, end of story." | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
But, with survival rates on the rise... | :10:16. | :10:18. |
