That's all from us. | 0:00:01 | 0:00:02 | |
Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:02 | |
Welcome to Wales Today. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Our top stories tonight. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
The group representing manufacturers here says there's been a significant | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
drop in confidence since last months' Brexit vote. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Cardiff brothel owner, Diana Jones, is in prison after seven years | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
on the run in Cyprus. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
Now police hope to recover the nearly ?4 million she owes. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
A month since the vote to leave the European Union - | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
manufacturers here say they've seen a significant drop in confidence. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:50 | |
EEF, the organisation which represents the sector, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
has told this programme it's concerned Brexit may | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
affect growth in Wales. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
It comes as Ford, which employs hundreds of workers in Bridgend, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
has reported a fall in profits. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
Here's our Business Correspondent, Brian Meechan. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
M make conveyor belts for businesses from food | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
factories to airports. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
It employs 26 people at its Tredegar base. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Its boss was in favour of leaving the EU and he says far from Brexit | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
reducing confidence, he is investing in his factory | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
and taking on new staff. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
There is a world out there besides Europe and Europe | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
still needs us as a customer. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
If they want us as a customer, they have got to be able to allow us | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
to sell our goods to them. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
All this argument that we will lose out, that they will stop selling | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
to us, put tariffs up, it is a two-way street. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
In my opinion, we have done the right thing. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
A lot of people will disagree. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
We have had the vote, my argument is to get on with it. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
But representatives of manufacturers in Wales say Brexit is making | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
companies think twice about investing in property, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
machines and staff. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
I think they are concerned about all the uncertainty. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
We have seen the uncertainty around steel and the future of steel | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
manufacturing in Wales and there is also uncertainty | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
about our access to the single market, so there is | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
a lot of uncertainty. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Do I invest here? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Do I move my facilities offshore? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Do I reassure some of my supply chain? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
All of that is in the mix with regard to the uncertainty | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
businesses are facing right now. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
The EEF's warning that investment in manufacturing is being put | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
on hold is also being heard from other sectors of the economy. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
It's clear that the UK is leaving the European Union. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:37 | |
What is unclear is what our trading relationships will be | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
like with Europe and the rest of the world after Brexit. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Manufacturing is a significant part of the Welsh economy, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
accounting for 18% of the country's output. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
In terms of the UK, it makes up only 6% of output. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
It has also been a growing area. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
The number of jobs in the sector increased by 17% | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
between 2010 and 2016. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
Ford is one of the biggest manufacturers in Wales. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:12 | |
It has just invested ?180 million in its Bridgend plant, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
securing hundreds of jobs. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
There are concerns the new facility only allows it to make a third | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
of the number of engines it currently produces and other work | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
at the site is coming to an end. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Ford says it has to consider all its options following | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
the decision to leave the EU. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
As we think about the magnitude of the impact, we are going to have | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
to look at all parts of the business to make sure we stay on track | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
with our 6% to 8% operating margins that we need to deliver. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
How manufacturing manages Brexit will have a major impact on how well | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
the Welsh economy as a whole deals with it. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
The UK Government has been asked to give urgent clarification that | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
a delay in the new Hinkley Point nuclear power station | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
in Somerset won't impact the proposed Wylfa Newydd | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
development on Anglesey. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
UK ministers say they'll decide in September whether or not to go | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
ahead with Hinkley Point. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
The Welsh Government says its important the delay doesn't | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
damage the confidence of investors here. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
Research has shown that young people from poorer backgrounds in Wales | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
are almost three times less likely to go to University than students | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
from more affluent areas. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
It has prompted claims by the Sutton Trust educational | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
charity that there's still a 'deep divide' in higher education | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
which means Wales is missing out on a huge amount of talent. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:32 | |
Police say they still hope to reclaim nearly ?4 million owed | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
by a former brothel-owner, who was jailed in May after being | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
on the run for seven years. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
When Diana Jones fled to Cyprus in 2008 she became one | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
of the biggest targets for officers looking to seize assets. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
Jenny Rees reports. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
The brothel boss in hiding. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
For the last seven years, Diana Jones has been | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
living in northern Cyprus, on the run from police. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
The BBC's Week In Week Out programme filmed her in 2008 | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
as she was sentenced for running a multi-million pound vice ring. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
The following year she was ordered to pay ?2.6 million and given | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
a 12-month suspended sentence. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
By then, she'd already fled the country. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
She's now in prison in Staffordshire, arrested | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
when she arrived back in the UK, and serving a four-year sentence | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
for failing to pay her confiscation order. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
The team charged with recovering that money say that, with interest, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
the total now stands at more than ?3.7 million. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
If the order is not met, it will stay with her for life. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
The confiscation enforcement team will monitor, review and carry out | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
investigations on a fairly regular basis to ascertain whether she | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
actually has any assets and at that point we'll seek permission | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
from the court and get those assets removed from her. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
So you will never stop chasing her? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
No. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
She is one of our upper-end cases. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
She is one of the top four or five investigations we have | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
currently ongoing. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Police said Diana Jones' brothels turned over nearly | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
?3 million in six years - a sum that funded her double life | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
in the Carmarthenshire countryside. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Investigators also believe it allowed her a lavish | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
lifestyle in northern Cyprus, where there's no formal extradition | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
agreement with the UK. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
They'll now visit her at her new home in prison to establish | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
what, if anything, she can pay back. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
An 86-year-old man who was hit by a train in Cardiff yesterday | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
lunchtime has been arrested in connection with the alleged | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
murder of his wife. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
Angus Mayer was struck by a train at Cardiff Central station. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
The body of 85-year-old Margaret | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
Mayer was found at an address in the Heath area of the city a few hours | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
later. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Mr Mayer was treated in hospital for minor leg injuries. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
A six-year-old girl has been praised for saving the lives of her mother | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
and two of her brothers in a house-fire near | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Pontardawe in the early hours of Wednesday morning. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Kelsey Davies carried 11-month-old Andrew outside, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:08 | |
before returning to help her mother and three-year-old brother, Riley. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Her four-year-old brother, Jack, died at the scene in Alltwen. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
There's a week to go until the opening ceremony | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
of the Olympic Games in Rio, and one of Wales' gold-medal | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
favourites is Jade Jones. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
The athlete from Flint became Britain's first Olympic Taekwondo | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
champion when she won gold in London. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:30 | |
Four years after her success, she says she's proud | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
to have inspired more girls to take-up the sport. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
I've seen the difference just from London, how many girls have got | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
into tae kwon do because they've watched it on TV. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
When I started tae kwon do, I think there was only about 4 or 5 | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
girls in the whole club, whereas now, it is similar, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
there is loads more girls and it is just amazing to see that. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
Time now for a look at the weekend weather forecast. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Here's Derek Brockway. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
It has felt a bit muggy today but will turn pleasant | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
everywhere over the weekend. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
That means some coolish nights for the time of year. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Some sunshine and also one or two showers, but a lot of dry weather. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
For tonight, it is a dry story. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Cloud broken, that means the cooler and fresh and night than recently. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
Temperatures in some rural spots dropping as low as eight Celsius, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
maybe a little bit of mist in some places by dawn. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Tomorrow morning, a dry start, some sunshine and quite pleasant. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Cloud will build as temperatures rise, maybe the odd shower | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
in the west later in the morning. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
Across the rest of the UK, a mixture of cloud, sunny spells | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
and scattered showers tomorrow. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
One or two heavy showers in places. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Having said that, parts of the Midlands, Southern | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
and south-east England will remain dry all day. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Pleasant tomorrow, 24 Celsius in London. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Quite warm there, 17 Celsius in Belfast. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
In Wales tomorrow afternoon, there will be a few | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
showers dotted around. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
One or two heavy ones likely. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Many places will stay dry and there will be some sunshine, | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
especially later in the afternoon. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Highs of 21 Celsius in Newport, 17 Celsius on the north | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
and west coast with a light to moderate breeze. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
Most showers will clear away tomorrow evening, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
just the odd one overnight. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Otherwise, a dry night and a cool night, as well, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
especially in the countryside. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
More dry weather to come on Sunday, with some sunshine. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Some cloud, as well, with just one or two | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
showers, but again, a lot of places will remain dry. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
If you are heading to the National Eisteddfod in Abergavenny, | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
most of the time it will be dry, although I wouldn't rule out | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
a shower in the afternoon. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Temperatures around 19-20dC, so pleasant for walking around. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
The changeable weather is set to continue next week. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Some dry spells, but unsettled midweek with some rain | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
and stronger winds. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
And that's it from the late team. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
We'll be back with all the latest in Wales at 6.35 tomorrow evening. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
In the meantime, thanks for watching, and | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
have a great weekend. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 |
