reported that there were several people | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
Welcome to the programme. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Just last week Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb was a contender | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
to lead the Tories. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Today, he resigned from the cabinet, amid newspaper allegations | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
about his private life. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Hundreds of jobs are lost as a coach company running services | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
across north Wales goes bust. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
And they fought to save their school sixth forms,- | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
now campaigners are worried Pembrokeshire council | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
is back-tracking. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
The highest profile Welsh MP in the cabinet has resigned. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Stephen Crabb, who was Work and Pensions Secretary, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
said the decision was 'in the best interests of his family', | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
following newspaper allegations about his private life. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
The MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire was one of several contenders | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
for the Tory leadership. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
Our parliamentary correspondent David Cornock, reports. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
He was the future once. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
When Stephen Crabb was summoned to Number 10 this lunchtime | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
it was expected to be good news. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Ministers are sacked in private, only those with job offers get to do | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
the Downing Street walk. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
He emerged having resigned from the Cabinet, in a statement | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
he said that after careful reflection he had told Theresa May | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
he wouldn't be in her government, in the best interests of my family. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
Colleagues were sympathetic. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
I am sad that Stephen has resigned. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
He is one of Wales's most talented politicians. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
He brought a lot in his role of Secretary of State | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
for Wales, and then Secretary for work and pensions. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
I understand why, but I hope it is Stephen being benched rather | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
than taken off the team. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
His decision follows reports that the married father of two had | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
sent suggestive text messages to a young woman. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Behaviour that seems at odds with a leadership bid | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
based on his values. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
The blend of qualities that I bring are exactly those that are required | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
to get us through the difficult circumstances that we're are in. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Resilience, optimism, humility, strength. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
Qualities he said he had learned from his mother who single-handedly | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
raised him and his brothers in a council house in Haverfordwest. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Despite finishing fourth of five colleagues thought he ran | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
a good leadership campaign. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
In politics there is always a way back. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
To not take a position now, when there is a new government | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
carving in, there is a huge amount of change. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Merging departments and changing, well, of course, there is room | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
for everybody to come back and I fully expect Stephen Crabb | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
to be back in government, certainly within my period, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
chances are that is only going to be four years. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Stephen Crabb's departure means there is only one Welsh MP left | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
in Theresa May's Cabinet, Alun Cairns was reappointed | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Secretary of Stat for Wales. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
He says is top priorities will include the steel | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
industry and devolution. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
David Cornock, BBC Wales Today, Westminster. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
320 people have lost their jobs, and there's been disruption for bus | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
passengers across North Wales after a coach company near Wrexham | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
went into administration. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
GHA Coaches operated more than 230 vehicles on school-bus routes | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
and ran services across North Wales. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
Matthew Richards has this report. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Hundreds of GHA staff gathered at the company headquarters this | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
morning to be told that the company had ceased trading and | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
they were out of work. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
As they emerged there was anger, sadness and bewilderment. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
I'm not sure what to do with this. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
I'll give it to you. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
The owners are gutted. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
They worked hard, no matter what people say. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
They were good hard working people and we've lost everything. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
It's really sad. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
We're getting paid last week's wages, but that's it. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
We've got to apply for the rest through the Government, basically. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
GHA coaches, now based in Ruabon, was established in 1990 and had | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
grown into a major public transport provider across North Wales carrying | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
schoolchildren from Flintshire, Wrexham and Denbighshire | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
as well as other passengers into Gwynedd, Conwy, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Shropshire and Cheshire. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
But administrators say a winding up order was issued | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs over unpaid tax, it's | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
thought the firm had debts of about ?3 million. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
That's left these passengers in Llangollen stranded at the bus stop. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
This is a very important service. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
The service first thing in the morning to Wrexham is very | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
important because there are quite a few people who use | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
it to go to work. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
What are you going to do? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
I'm not sure. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
I'll have to start looking... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
I haven't thought that far ahead. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
I really haven't. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Councils across North East Wales raced to find replacement bus | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
services on their school runs, with other passengers | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
hoping their journeys will continue under new operators. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
We've got services running through Denbigh, via Ruthin, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
to Corwen and back, a full timetable the whole day. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
They are working on additional services in other | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
areas of the county. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
It will take time. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
I hope the public are with us on this and will bare with us | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
because it is very difficult. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
The Welsh Government says it's been working to protect the network | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
provided by GHA coaches and wants to minimise any adverse effect of | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
the company entering administration. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Just before being appointed the Transport Secretary | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
today Chris Grayling said they would try to help. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
One always hopes, when businesses put into administration, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
that it's possible to save it. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
I know that the Department for Work and Pensions, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
and the Business Department, and indeed, the Welsh Office | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
will do everything they can to provide appropriate support | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
where they are able to do so. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
It's not yet clear what's caused the company's financial predicament | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
but some passengers have complained about inconsistencies | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
in the service for some time. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
Now they, and the employees, find themselves without | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
a service at all. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
BBC Wales understands the leader of Ukip in Wales, Nathan Gill, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
is to stand as a running-mate to Ukip MEP for the North West | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Steven Woolfe, in a bid for the party's leadership. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
A source has said Mr Gill, who is an MEP and an AM, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
is to run as deputy to Mr Woolfe. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Ukip is looking for a new leader after Nigel Farage announced | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
he was stepping-down earlier this month. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
Ukip's Neil Hamilton could have some of his living costs | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
paid by the taxpayer, despite not living in Wales. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Assembly Members can claim more than ?8,000 per year for Cardiff | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
accommodation expenses if they live outside South Wales. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
The Assembly's Independent Remuneration Board is considering | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
a change to the rules for AMs living in England. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:40 | |
A third man has been charged with the murder | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
of 29-year-old Lynford Brewster, who died of stab wounds last month | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
following an incident in the Llanedyrn area of Cardiff. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
23-year-old Jake Whelan from Kidderminster appeared before | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
magistrates this morning. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Two other men also remain in custody charged with the murder. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
Campaigners who fought to save their school sixth forms | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
in Pembrokeshire fear the council could be back-tracking, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
after all plans have now gone back to the drawing board. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
The head boy of Tasker Milward school told BBC Wales, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
he's written a letter of complaint to the council, describing the whole | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
process as "undemocratic". | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
Abigail Neal reports. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
Secondary schooling is a divisive subject in Pembrokeshire, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
with protests outside the council HQ and mud-slinging inside. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
This proud county has deserved better for the last four years. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
You have bled it dry and your legacy will cause us | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
problems for years to come. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
Having fought a three year campaign to vote down plans that | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
would scrap their sixth forms and centralise A-Level provision, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
it's now back to scratch, and campaigners have now been | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
all options are still on the table. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
The county council are trying to askd the same questions | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
until the people of Pembrokeshire get fed up and give them | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
the answer they want. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
That's really not the way to go about this. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
This is far more important than that. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Pembrokeshire's now facing an uphill struggle, because the row over | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
secondary school reorganisation has now gone on for so long they're | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
in danger of missing out on the lion's share of funding | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
for 21st century schools, and meanwhile standards | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
continue to slip. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Both secondary schools in the county town of Haverfordwest have been put | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
into special measures. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
And across Pembrokeshire GCSE results are below | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
the national average, education-wise it's at the bottom | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
end of the league table, 16th out of the 22 local | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
authorities in Wales. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
Faced with this tough brief, the new member for Education told me | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
the council was still committed to the idea of an A-Level centre, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
but wanted to do things differently this time. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
I am very sympathetic with the concerns of | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
the Haverfordwest people. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
I am confident, however, that we can address those and, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:04 | |
particularly those eloquent sixth form people we've heard speaking | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
from Sir Thomas Picton, and Tasker Milward. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
Thus, I want to reward them with something they can live with. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
Whatever that is, it won't be voted on until next year, and the council | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
here knows education standards can't afford to wait that long. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:25 | |
The public spending watchdog says a steel-coating company in Swansea | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
went into administration despite being given more | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
than ?3million worth of financial support by the Welsh Government. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
The government's own review of Kancoat described the company | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
as "high risk" with a "weak and inconsistent business plan". | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
The Government says it's made "a number of key changes" | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
to business support since. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:50 | |
This report, in itself, the specific say they shouldn't | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
have invested in this. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:53 | |
They have a lot of reasons to say no, and they ignored them. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
I think that needs looking at. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Business leaders and politicians are calling for a billion pounds | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
of rail improvements between North Wales | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
and North West England, to help link the region | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
with the planned HS2 line. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
They say it would transform the economy of both areas | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
and potentially create tens of thousands of new jobs. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:18 | |
It's about getting time to get to employment centres | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
in time to start shifts. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
To start the working day. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
It is about getting to the right places, at the right time, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
at the right speed. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
Currently, if you go to Leeds, that took me, three weeks ago, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
three hours for a 105 mile journey. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
That is slightly faster than a horse! | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
That is probably not what we are looking | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
for in the 21st-century economy. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Onto cricket, and Hampshire beat Glamorgan by 25 runs in the T20 | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
blast at home this evening. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
They won by 167 for 6, compared to Glamorgan's 142 for 7. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:55 | |
400m hurdler Rhys Williams has appealed against his omission | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
from Team GB's athletics squad for the Rio Olympics next month. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
The London 2012 Olympian Williams will find out the results | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
of his appeal on Friday. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
Seren Bundy-Davies is the only Welsh member of the team, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
which was announced yesterday. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
Some football news, and after Wales' success | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
at the Euro 2016 championship, they're now ranked 11th | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
in the latest FIFA world rankings. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
Reaching the semi finals means Wales has jumped 15 places, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
leapfrogging England who are now in 13th place. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:31 | |
Let's take a look at what the weather has | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
in store now, here's Derek. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
Hello, Shwmae. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
Some lovely weather for us today, bet, you guessed it, | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
it's not going to last. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
All change again tomorrow, tropical maritime air bringing damp, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
misty weather from the Atlantic. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
At the moment it is dry, but the cloud will increase bringing | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
the odd spot of rain for the North and west later in the night with | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
temperatures at ten or 13 Celsius. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
All change tomorrow, not as nice as today. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
A bright start in the east, otherwise cloudy with | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
patchy rain and drizzle. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Across the rest of the UK bright and sunny for a while in eastern | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
England and London, but clouding over, elsewhere it will be cloudy | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
tomorrow with patchy rain and drizzle, most | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
of the rain in Scotland. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Heavy rain in parts of Scotland tomorrow. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Highs of 18 Celsius in Glasgow. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
In Wales, plenty of cloud, mist and hill fog. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Spots of drizzle. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Some places will become dry and it may brighten up in Flintshire | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
and the north coast. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
Tomorrow night, further low cloud, missed, spots of drizzle, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
a front will bring heavy rain into the North later | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
in the night, heavy rain for the Snowdonia Mountains. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
