Welcome to Wales Today. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
Our top stories tonight: Amina Al-Jeffery's father | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
took her from Swansea to Saudi Arabia in 2012. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Today he told the High Court he did so to save her life. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
The ambitious plans for The Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon - | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
but does Wales have the workforce to make the project a reality? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
And 150 years after the birth of Beatrix Potter, we'll be hearing | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
how she was inspired by this Denbighshire garden. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:30 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
A father accused of taking his daughter from Swansea | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
and imprisoning her in Saudi Arabia says he was trying to help her. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
A court has heard how Mohammed Al-Jeffery took 21-year-old | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Anima Al-Jeffrey to-macro three in 2012 to save her life. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Anima says she wants to return to the UK and claims | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
she is being held against her will. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
Her father disputes the allegations. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
From the High Court in London, here is Paul Heaney. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:10 | |
Amina Al-Jeffery as a teenager in school in Swansea. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
She has dual nationality, both British and Saudi Arabian. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Her father says back in 2012, he took her here | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
to the Saudi city of Jedah because she's become reckless. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
He claims she hadn't been doing well in school | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
and he took her here to save her life. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
She says she's being held here now against her will and mistreated. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
Lawyers acting for Miss Al-Jeffery want a High Court here in London | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
to order that she be brought back here to Britain or be allowed | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
to speak to her solicitor or the British consolate | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
in Saudi Arabia but the judge here admitted his powers are limited. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
It doesn't matter what judgment is handed down here, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
it won't be able to be enforced in Saudi Arabia. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:58 | |
Marcus Scott Manderson QC representing Mr Al-Jeffery in court | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
said the father didn't want to discuss Amina's return | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
because of what he'd seen in the media. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
He also said she was at risk in Britain and the British Government | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
did nothing to help her. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
He said Amina was reckless and couldn't help herself | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
and he had to help her. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
The judge said that he was seeking to do what was best for his adult | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
daughter, adding that nobody was trying to be punitive. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
"I want to act collaberataively and cooperatively with him" he said. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Mr Scott Manderson QC continued to read out the client's statement, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
saying it was his decision to bring Amina to Saudi Arabia, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
she was not focusing on school he said, she was taking drugs, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
going to clubs and spending time with older men. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
He finished, "I am certain that if Amina were to return to the UK, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
my wife would not be able to control her challenging behaviour." | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
This Welsh MP chairs the all-party parliamentary human rights group | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
and has raised concerns about Saudi Arabia's | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
human rights records. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
Women can do very little about the agreement | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
of a so-called guardian. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
They can't travel, they can't sign documents, they cannot drive cars. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Everyone knows several attempts by women in Saudi Arabia to drive | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
cars and they've been apprehended and in some places arrested. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
It's a mixture of things. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
It is a pretty bad scene for women. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:19 | |
At 21 years old, Amina Al-Jeffery's lawyer says she is a vulnerable | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
adult in need of protection. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
The judge here is now focused on how best | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
to allow her to speak freely in | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
this rare, internationally significant case. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:41 | |
It would be the first of its kind in the world and would transform | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
part of Swansea Bay. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
But an independent study says there needs to be far more | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
investment in skills if Wales is to take full economic advantage | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
of the proposed Tidal Lagoon. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Altogether, it forecasts the project could bring 2,000, 200 jobs | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
in the five years it would take to build. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Ben Price reports. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:09 | |
An ambitious design for the UK's first tidal lagoon. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
This is how those behind the Swansea Bay project | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
in visits the final design. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
Doubts have been raised as to whether it will look exactly | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
like this and today more questions as to how achievable it is. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
A joint independent report commissioned by the Welsh Government | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
highlights the risks as well as the advantages | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
of the proposed scheme. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
The authors of the report believe on the manufacturing | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
side of the project, Wales is equipped to provide just | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
half of the parts required to build the tidal lagoon. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
With investment to fill the gaps, it believes in theory that | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
could increase to more than 90%. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
The potential skills gap for the project includes plant | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
operators, labourers and those with specialist marine skills. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
We know for instance that in the next ten years, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
around 18,000 construction workers are going to reach retirement age. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
We have also got forecast growth of around 2.9% over | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
the next five years. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
We will need a lot more workers involved in the construction sector | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
and that could cause pinch points. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
The report says there aren't enough companies in Wales currently capable | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
of such things as casting or forging steel to make for example the blades | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
of the turbines. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
But one of the report's other authors also believes | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon can still be a blueprint for similar | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
projects in the future. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
I think the real gains are to be had from scaling up of the project | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
and if we see Swansea as a pilot, then there are three other sites | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
already identified in Wales, significantly bigger. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
16 turbines in Swansea, 108 in Cardiff, 48 in Newport, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
128 in Colwyn Bay. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
Once we start to develop that scale of operation, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
then that is a very significant contribution to the economy. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:45 | |
There are many companies in Wales itching to get the ball rolling. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
This mechanical engineering company is based in Pembroke Dock. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
It lost a lot of business following the closure | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
of the Murco oil refinery. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
It is now looking to the tidal lagoon project to boost | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
the company once again. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:04 | |
We see the opportunity for us that we could certainly sustain | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
about 150-200 jobs and probably create approximately another | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
100 additional jobs. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
We could certainly get back up to 1000 employees, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
which we did have some time ago. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:19 | |
It is said this 16 turbine tidal lagoon will be able to power 120,000 | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
houses for the next 120 years and despite concerns | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
about a shortage in the skilled workforce here in Wales, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
the company behind this project says it is ready to start | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
work straightaway. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
We are still focused on starting here in Swansea Bay | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
early autumn next year, as a company we are ready to go | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
and we are looking to start spending ?1.3 billion in the UK. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:48 | |
Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon is one of a number of big renewable energy | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
projects waiting for the green light and as the Hinkley Point | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
nuclear power station gets the go-ahead today, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
the challenge now will be to develop a big enough skilled workforce | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
in Wales to carry out the work ahead. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:08 | |
Further along Swansea Bay in Port Talbot, around 100 | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Tata workers, uncertain about their future, have been | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
meeting with unions. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
The sale of the plant was HALTED earlier this month, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
as TATA entered MERGER-talks with the German firm, ThyssenKrupp. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Unions say they're increasingly frustrated with how | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
the process is being handled. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:29 | |
We want the company to involve the unions in whatever is the sales | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
process or whether it is a joint tie up merger. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
We have a highly skilled and motivated workforce | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
in there that deserve closure on this. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:43 | |
It is still early stages, so there is a long way to go, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
but I am sure the unions will keep everyone in the loop and yes, | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
it has been a worthwhile meeting getting together. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
People have aired their opinions, what they think, going forward. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
And we are united going forward and we are going to fight | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
to save the future of the steel industry in this country. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:03 | |
The funeral of a soldier who died on a training exercise in Brecon | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
earlier this month has taken place in his home town in | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
South-West Scotland. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
Corporal Joshua Hoole, who was 26, was a member | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
of the Rifles Regiment. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
The investigation into his death is ongoing. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:22 | |
The UK Government has approved plans for 17 kilometres of overhead cables | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
to connect Wind-Farms in Denbighshire to | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
the electricity-grid. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
Scottish Power Manweb has been given the go-ahead to put-up pylons | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
between Clocaenog Forest and the St Asaph sub-station. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
RWE Innogy has already been granted permission to build a wind | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
farm in Clocaenog. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:35 | |
Construction could now start as early as next year. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:45 | |
The Children's Author, Beatrix Potter, is most closely | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
associated with the Lake District, but she also took inspiration | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
from numerous visits to Wales. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
And on the 150th anniversary of her birth, the garden | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
of Gwaenynog Hall near Denbigh, which was depicted in the 'Tale | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
of the Flopsy Bunnies', will be opened to the public as part | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
of the celebrations. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:14 | |
A teenage Beatrix Potter visited her aunt and uncle | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
at Gwaenynog Hall in the 1890s. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Now owned and maintained by her descendants, like great | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
great neice Janie Smith, its garden made an impression | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
on the woman who would later immortalise it. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
It's open to the public by appointment and this week | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
a series of events will mark this special anniversary. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
Janie Smith can empathise with the struggle of Mr McGregor - | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
the fictional gardener - to maintain order in her | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
favourite Potter book. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Oh, it has to be the Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
It's very close to my heart here. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
We do have rabbits in the garden from time to time | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
and they nibble things! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
But we usually find where they have come in and we make sure | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
that they go out and don't come back again. | 0:09:52 | 0:10:01 | |
Beatrix Potter described this as the prettiest kind of garden | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
and planted a seed in here which blossomed into a wealth | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
of magical stories which are still enthralling children | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
all around the world. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
These are now issued as anniversary cards... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Colin Antwis, an illustrator from Mold, has been commissioned | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
to recreate some of Beatrix Potter's most famous characters for greetings | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
cards to coincide with the 150th anniversary of her birth. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
He says her keen interest in anatomy helped to make her images timeless. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:31 | |
Her animal characters, unlike a lot of animal | 0:10:31 | 0:10:31 | |
characters that people draw, cartoonists and other artists, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
she doesn't try to humanise them. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
She might put clothes on them, yes, but she doesn't | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
humanise them in other ways. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
They're in a landscape that you would find a fox, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
that you would find a badger, that you would find a duck and that | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
you would find Peter Rabbit. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
As well as Gwaenynog, a visit to Tenby is also | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
credited with stirring the author's imagination. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
A century and a half on, we're still happy for her colourful | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
characters to take us on a journey up the garden path. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:09 | |
Glamorgan have made it through to the quarterfinals | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
of the Natwest T20 Blast series after a rain affected match | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
against Sussex in Hove tonight. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
Sussex were chasing 102 to beat Glamorgan when rain stopped play. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Glamorgan will finish in the top two in their group after both teams | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
picked up a single point. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:26 | |
Well, let's take a look at what the weather has in store | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
for the next few days. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
Derek has the forecast. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
No two days are the same at the moment. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Rain one day, sunshine the next. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
And we are in for a real mix tomorrow. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
More rain, a few showers, some sunshine in the north. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
For tonight, a lot of cloud, some outbreaks of rain for parts | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
of mid and North Wales. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
One or two showers in the South and a mild muggy might. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Tomorrow morning, again, a lot of cloud. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Further outbreaks of rain in parts of mid and North Wales, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
with low cloud. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
Southern counties dry, bar the odd shower in places. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
And a few glimpses of sunshine. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
Now, across the rest of the UK, a band of rain lying | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
through central areas will slip southwards during the day, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
turning lighter and more patchy as it does though. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
To the south of that, one or two showers with a few | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
bright sunny intervals. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
The best of the sunshine tomorrow further north with showers for parts | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
of Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Top temperatures a muggy 23 Celsius in London, fresher in Glasgow. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
In Wales tomorrow afternoon, some patchy rain across Powys | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
will spread further south during the afternoon. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:29 | |
To the north of that, becoming drier and brighter | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
with sunshine in Rhyl. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
Temperatures around 20 Celsius, turning fresher in the North. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Tomorrow evening, spots of rain in the South will clear. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Dry everywhere overnight. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
Cloud clearing and a fresher night. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:48 | |
Temperatures in Powys falling as low as seven Celsius. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
On Saturday, a dry start, some sunshine, but | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
showers breaking out. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
One or two heavy showers but some places will stay dry. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
And it is a similar story really on Sunday. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
You may catch a shower but on the whole, | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
a lot of dry weather. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
Some sunshine, pleasantly warm but watch out for some cool nights | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
and it looks like the changeable weather pattern is set | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
to continue into August. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
Bye for now. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:16 | |
And that's all from the late team. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
We'll be back in breakfast tomorrow morning from around 6:30, | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
but until then, thanks for watching, diolch am wylio, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
and have a very good night. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 |
