Well Wales today. Billion pounds of EU money waiting to be spent in | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Wales. Tonight a council boss bags get on with it before it is too | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
late. We want to make sure that money is allocated to us why we are | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
a UK member. We want our fair share. Other headlines. No improvement for | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
patients with mental health issues. One charity tells as it is deeply | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
concerned. And good evening from France, Wales prepared to meet | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
Portugal for a place in the final of Udo 2016. Gareth Bale says Wales | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
play Portugal, not Bale versus Ronaldo. It's not about to players. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
Everybody knows that, really, it's about two nations. The semifinal, 11 | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
million supporters. It is a game and nobody wants to miss. Fans desperate | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
to be here at any cost. Definitely the van. I can get rid of the van. | :01:12. | :01:28. | |
A billion pounds of EU funding for the most deprived parts of Wales | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
has yet to be spent, and the leader of one of our biggest | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
councils says the Welsh Government must allocate it urgently | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Andrew Morgan, who leads Rhondda Cynon Taff, says the money | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
assigned to Wales for projects up to 2020 could be withdrawn - | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
But some prominent Leave campaigners say - | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
the money should be spent on the right projects - | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Billions has been spent an EU funded regeneration schemes across Wales. | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
From infrastructure to leisure and education. But time is running out | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
for future spending after Wales, like England, voted to leave. The | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
leader of Rhondda Cynon Taff council says the priority now has to be | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
getting the EU money invested before it is too late. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
These are schemes which have been worked out in a lot of detail. We | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
are not blocking schemes out of the to waste money. Ultimately, we've | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
only got two years at most to spend this money. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Andrew Morgan believes that south Wales valleys towns like Aberdare | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
could benefit from decision is an EU funded regeneration projects, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
including one planned for this former hotel. In these offices | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
behind me in Merthyr Tydfil are the offices of the Welsh European | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
funding office which is part of the Welsh government. They will have to | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
find something else to do here. But what happens between now and | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Brexit? Officials will come under pressure to get as much of the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
remaining funds out of the door as quickly as possible. Nearly a | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
fortnight has passed since the referendum result, but reminders are | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
still here like in Merthyr Tydfil. Ironically, only a few hundred yards | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
where millions were spent in the town. But that was the paradox. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Communities that spent most in need were most likely to want to leave. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
It also happened elsewhere. Swansea voted to leave, yet today Prince | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Charles officially opened the University's new campus, the most | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
high-profile EU funded project in Wales in recent years. Leave | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
campaigners responded to Andrew Morgan by saying investment like | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
this will not dry up. They say that instead, it will come from | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Westminster, and be awarded to project that will be more effective | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
in improving economy. After we've left the European Union | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
we will have all the money that currently is being diverted to the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
EU to spend on projects such as those he is interested in. I don't | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
think you should be rushing to splash the cash. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
The Welsh government says the money is already being freed up quickly. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
40% of the EU money that is available has been committed. | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
We are confident that there are projects in the pipeline, good ideas | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
that we will want to find. If we can draw those forward and make them | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
happen earlier then it is in everybody's just to do that. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Funding for projects like these will soon be consigned to the history | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
books. But before they go a clear call today to make the most of the | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood, has also been talking about Brexit, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
calling for the Assembly to approve a plan for Wales. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
The Welsh Government says it's doing everything it can to strengthen | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
But Ms Wood criticised its response, suggesting a lack of urgency, | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and says the option of Welsh independence should be considered, | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Whatever happens now to the future of the UK, it is we, in Wales, who | :05:02. | :05:20. | |
should decide upon our future. If people in Scotland want to leave the | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
UK in order to protect their European Union membership, then an | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
independent Wales should be an option for people here. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
And Wales has a real opportunity to design "Welsh-specific policies" | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
on farming and the environment now we're leaving the EU. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
That's according to the Welsh Government's Rural Affairs | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Secretary, Lesley Griffiths, after she and First Minister, | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Carwyn Jones, met with industry representatives earlier to discuss | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
the challenges and opportunities presented by the vote. | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
My whole portfolio is awash with EU funding, regulations and policies, | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
legislation. It is an area that is the most holy devolved within the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Welsh government so it is important that we get it right for Wales. We | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
know that we can get specific policies, but want to do what is in | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
the best interests of Wales. A mental health charity says it's | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
'extremely concerned' that outcomes for Welsh patients do not appear | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
to have improved over Gofal saysit's annual survey | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
suggests little is being done to check that the treatments | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
for things like depression Euro 2016 first saw her GP about her | :06:25. | :06:44. | |
mental health when she was 18. -- Jayne. Instead of referring here to | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
help her doctor told her it could have been worse, she could have been | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
self harming. The GP came out and said, at least | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
you are not cutting. I think that is just about the worst thing you can | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
say to an anxious, vulnerable 18-year-old. I was going through a | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
mental health crisis, my health deteriorated quite significantly | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
over the following weeks, and I attempted suicide. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Back in 2012 a law came into force in Wales to try to improve access to | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
things like therapy and counselling. Ever since this charity has asked | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
800 patients each year about the treatment they are offered. Over one | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
third of people consistently say that if they do get out, it's a B | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
doesn't work. We know that there are many people | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
in health boards who are deeply committed to making this legislation | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
work and improving services. But, at the moment outcomes are not | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
collected consistently across Wales, and while that fails to happen we | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
can't see a true picture of whether this legislation is having an impact | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
or not. It is items we have collected from | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
throughout Europe. Julie works in this museum in | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Cardiff. She found herself housebound of work for weeks with | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
agoraphobia. In the end, we wait for therapy was too long, she had to pay | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
to go privately. She feels mental health must be looked at | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
differently. If you were diabetic you would go | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
back several times, you'd have somebody coming in, checking your | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
bloods. Somebody should do that for your mental health, saying, I need | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
you to come and see me once a month. I need a progress report. To check | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
up on what's going on. Are you really feeling right? Julie | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
is optimistic about in future now, Jayne has good care from a different | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
GP and other NHS staff. The Welsh government says it is more to do to | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
improve mental health care across Wales. It is bringing in a new | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
computer system to record more data about what is working for people and | :08:50. | :08:50. | |
what is not. A father-to-be and his unborn son | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
were killed by a driver "doing motorway speeds" on a 40 mile | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
an hour limit road, Simon Lewis died on Lamby Way | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
in Cardiff on New Year's Eve. His wife was injured and their son, | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
who was born three days Kyle Kennedy denies causing death | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
by dangerous driving, but admits causing death | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
by careless driving. Thousands of handmade poppies | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
and a replica of the Mametz dragon have gone on display at the Pierhead | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
building in Cardiff Bay, to mark the centenary | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
of the Battle of the Somme. 350 poppies made by a community | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
group in Tonypandy will be sent to Mametz, to be laid on the graves | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
of soldiers from the Rhondda. And tonight former Wales rugby | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
captain, Gareth Thomas, retraces the steps of his ancestors | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
from the Valleys to Mametz Wood, where hundreds | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
of Welsh soldiers died. Wales At The Somme, tonight | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
at 9pm, on BBC One Wales. You are not dreaming. This is really | :09:42. | :10:02. | |
happening. Wales prepared to play in the semifinals. We go live now to | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
France. It's a spectacular setting | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
for a semi final, considered the gastronomic capital of France, | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
a UNESCO World Heritage site - Two nations will go head to head | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
for a place in the final, but the talk today has mostly been | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
about two players in particular. There are few footballers in the | :10:21. | :10:34. | |
world that attract such attention. He is the most expensive beating the | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
record set by his team-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo. Much has been | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
made of their relationship, now more so as they face each other in the | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
semifinal. Of course, he is a fantastic player. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Everybody knows what he can do. We've always spoken about what we | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
do, as the team, we don't worry about the opposition. We know a lot | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
of teams we have played have very good individuals, but, for us, it is | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
rugby team and how we form as 18. Why the focus was on Rinaldo at | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
training today it was the absence of another Portuguese star from the | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
Wales camp. Grey centre back, is being rested. Ten one Marco says | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
they are very much still a threat. It is about two nations in the | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
semifinal, a 11 men against 11. They are in the semifinal for a reason. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Yes, we are just going to try and rise to the occasion. | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
We will carry on in the same vein. Wales are hoping to recreate the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
quarterfinal performance that blew away Belgium on Friday. In Swansea | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
they are already attempting to emulate the wonder goal. They are | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
sure Wales can do it again. It was amazing. This was the first | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
time we've got this far. When we saw that goal we knew this was a | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
brilliant moment. I reckon we have a chance of | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
winning. Of course we do have the star player, Bale. And Rinaldo | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
against each other. I think we have a really good chance of winning. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
I think it's just incredible. It's going to be really tight because it | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
is bailed versus Cristiano Ronaldo. I think we have a good chance of | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
winning that game. The team are confident that they are stronger | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
together. Talking to fans many expected | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
a fortnight in France, now we're entering the 4th week, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
many have cleared their diaries, exhausted their annual leave, | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
and raided savings accounts Nick Palit now on the fans spending | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
a fortune, determined not to miss History boys, indeed. Wales have | :12:39. | :13:04. | |
done it. With win after win the boys in red theme unstoppable. Each | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
victory means they stay in France a little longer. For fans already | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
their holidays are extended. Boys I know of have literally lost | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
their jobs. I was with a guy the other day and he said he just has to | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
come here. For those back home the euphoria of victory is spurring them | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
on to join their fellow supporters on the other side of the channel, or | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
in some cases, the other side of the world. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
It is ten o'clock in Melbourne Australia I am just about to get a | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
flight. This man now works in Australian | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
mining, he is spending ?2600 to get to the game against Portugal. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
I've got to travel down to Lyon. He has promised his partner he will | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
do the ironing for the rest of his life to make up to, but others are | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
making bigger sacrifices. It is an old five plate. I'm looking | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
for a dating hundred for it. Matthew is selling his only means of | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
transport, the Royal Mail engineer has already spent ?2500 following | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
Wales so far but needs extra cash to carry on. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
I think it's one of those moments that you will save for ever. The | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
memories will last a lifetime. It's been pretty good, yeah. I'm still | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
buzzing. This man is also parking for France | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
again, he has already had a pricey family holiday in Bordeaux that | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
happen to coincide with the start of the tournament. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
I've got savings that will cover me for the trips, but my mates, he is | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
happy to live in debt for the next few months just to live the dream. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
But with match tickets in short supply, it is very much a case of | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
buyer beware. Scott's girlfriend bought 40 bits and social media, but | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
it was a scam. They are now trying to recoup the money with an online | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
appeal. It's been a massive expense in the | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
first instance for us to get to France, the tickets, the flights, | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
accommodation. Just the day-to-day expenses as well. It's financially | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
hit as really hard. ?600 is a lot of money to everybody. Don't take me | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
home, they chanted as the Wales European adventure continues. And | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
witnessing this piece of sporting history is an expensive business. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Credit card bills and overdrafts may take a long time to clear, but the | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
memories will last a lifetime. While Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo know | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
which other very well Portugal with will be unfamiliar opponents. We | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
have only played them three times. Last time back in 2000, a three nil | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
defeat. You got to go back to 1951 to find the previous game. It seems | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
many of you wanted to be a part of history on Friday night, Wales | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
beating Belgium 31. At one stage more than 1.2 million of you were | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
watching. That has broken all records. The biggest television | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
audience in Wales for a live sporting event. I'm sure that record | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
will be broken in the final. A model yacht found on a beach and repaired | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
by local schoolchildren has been reunited | :16:24. | :16:24. | |
with the American School launched it more than a year ago. The story of | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
the Carolina Dreamer reads like a fairy tale. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Once upon a time there was a little boat sent across a big ocean, but it | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
ended up making the world seem a little smaller. The Carolina dreamer | :16:42. | :16:53. | |
was launched in the USA in 2015. 5000 kilometres and nine months | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
later, the tracking signal stopped. It was assumed lost at sea, the GPS | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
signal was last. Leaving the entire class devastated. It was spotted by | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
a family bobbing on the beach. We looked closely and we could see it | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
was a little boat. So I waded in and pulled it out because we were really | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
excited. We thought it was a pilot boat, didn't you? No gold on board, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
but there was a treasure Trail putting together the puzzle of where | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
it had come from and how to fix it. This school came to the rescue. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
Contacting pupils in America and carrying out repairs. I'm really | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
excited because I loved it when the boat came. I'm into things with | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
engines answer. Today there was a heartfelt reunion. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
43 pupils from Wales travelled to the ferry in Fishguard to hand the | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
dreamer back to her American owners. She has impacted all our lives. You | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
can see how emotional we have all got. The friends, the students know | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
each other. Countries have come together. I didn't think it would do | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
what it did, but I think it was supposed to do something special. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
The little boat will continue, she is to be launched off the Azores to | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
who knows where, but she leaves carrying a Welsh flag on board, a | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
reminder of where she has been, for those she has yet to meet. | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
The weather forecast for sailors and land lubbers, here's Sue. | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
At released this week is looking more settled. Warmer for a time | :18:33. | :18:42. | |
midweek as well. We've got an area of low pressure bringing thick cloud | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
and drizzle which will move out into the North Sea overnight. A more | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
settled day with a brisk wind moving in behind it. Tonight, clear spells, | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
often cloudy with further spots of rain and drizzle at times. Easing | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
with cloud starting to break by the morning. Feeling quite murky | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
overnight. It might be a misty, murky start tomorrow but with that | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
friend clearing things improve the day to leave a dry, bright and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
breezy afternoon with sunny spells developing later. Top temperature of | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
15 Celsius and 19 degrees in Newport. Those brisk north-westerly | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
