Amina Al-Jeffrey from Swansea claimed her father kept her locked | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A UK court rules she's in peril and must be returned to Britain. | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
Three years on from the horse meat scandal, why Wales' food industry | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
And first day at work for 300 junior doctors. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Tonight, why Wales could be doing more to recruit | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
In peril and requiring rescuing - that's how a judge has | :00:29. | :00:49. | |
described Amina Al-Jeffrey, who he says must be brought back | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
to Wales from her father's home in Saudi Arabia. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
The 21-year-old from Swansea has claimed she's been mistreated, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
and the High Court heard she had been effectively "caged" | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
with restrictions to where she could go and what she could do. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
A photo sent to friends, a metal mesh in the background. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
A 21-year-old with dual nationality, British and Saudi Arabian. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
A young woman who says she is being held against her will. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Amina Al-Jeffery went to Olchfa School in Swansea until she was 16. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Then, in 2012, her father took her to the city | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
He claimed it was to save her life, to stop her going clubbing | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
In the past year, she managed to get in contact again, pleading to leave | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Saudi Arabia, claiming she was being deprived of food | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Her father admitted keeping her in his apartment | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
for her own safety, last week, but denied the other accusations. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The dispute was brought before the High Court here in London. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Miss Al-Jeffrey's lawyers argued on her behalf | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
that she was in dire need of protection from our legal system. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
The judge initially felt that he didn't have a lot | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
of power over what goes on in the Middle East. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
He eventually decided he had to intervene. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
My only concern is that I don't know if Amina even knows that this | :02:13. | :02:40. | |
What I would really like to do is speak to her and tell her | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
and what he has ordered to happen to her. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
The Foreign Office have tonight said they will continue to raise the case | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
The Henna Foundation, a charity which | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
supports marginalised sections of the Muslim community, says it is | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
important that things are now done sensitively. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
I think it might be a bit more complex than just picking up | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
the phone are having a conversation about | :03:10. | :03:10. | |
I think it requires a great level of diplomacy and tact. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Ultimately, we want Amina to be kept safe and for her to | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
So it might require some negotiation, some conversations | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
behind closed doors, to enable her return. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
For three hours here today, the judge slowly, cautiously, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Because Amina is both a Saudi and British citizen, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
if citizenship in the UK is to mean anything, it should mean | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
help and protection from your own country. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
In issuing this High Court order, he told Amina's father | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
to bring her back to the UK by 11 September. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Paul Heaney, BBC Wales Today, the High Court in London. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
A group of Ukip branch chairs have written a letter to the party's | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
ruling committee asking them to "retract their threat" | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Earlier this week, Ukip's National Executive Committee | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
voted to remove Nathan Gill from the party, | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
unless he resigns from one of his two elected positions. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
But the 12 signatories say Mr Gill - who is an MEP as well as an AM - | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
"remains extremely popular" with most Ukip Wales members. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
The body which represents Welsh councils has defended the help | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
local authorities here have given to Syrian refugees, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
after a committee of MPs said many aren't doing enough. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
The Home Affairs Select Committee found five of the 22 Welsh councils | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
had taken a total of 78 refugees by March. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
But the Welsh Local Government Association says | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
around 100 more have been settled here since | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
The number of British visitors making overnight trips to Wales fell | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
slightly in the 12 months to April, according to | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
That's compared to a 3.8% increase in visits across Britain. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
But the amount of money visitors spent in Wales went up | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
The Welsh Government says the increase in expenditure shows | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
tourism in Wales is "performing strongly". | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Three years on from the horsemeat scandal, Wales' food and drink | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
industry still faces a "real threat" of exploitation by criminals. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
That's the warning from the head of the National Food Crime Unit, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
who's told Wales Today that the sector here is vulnerable | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
to fraudsters who are looking to short change consumers | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Carwyn Jones has this exclusive report. | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
Horse meat used as a substitute for beef and widely | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
sold across the UK - three years ago we realised | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
we weren't always getting what we paid for. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
In the wake of the horse meat scandal, | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
the National Food Crime Unit was launched, | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
to investigate fraud within the food industry. | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
The head of the orgainsation has told Wales Today | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
that the scale of criminality is still significant. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
There will always be criminals who will want to exploit whatever | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
We are talking about, in Wales, a 5 billion plus | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
industry in terms of its turnover, employing some 250,000 | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
But where there are large profits, there is also the | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
possibility of making money criminally. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
I think if we don't deal with this over the next two or three | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
years and it on top of it, then organised crime could become | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
There is substitution - for example, replacing lamb | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Diversion - when animal waste is used in products | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Misrepresentation - selling Argentinian meat as Welsh beef. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
And adulteration - for example, adding | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
methanol to vodka to increase volumes. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Earlier this year, Trading Standards took 100 samples of food | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
from takeways, retaillers and manufacturers | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The results are in and the findings are stark. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
There was an issue with nearly half of the samples found. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Either some problems with the labelling itself, | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
so not saying something on the label, but also sometimes | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
finding things in the food that should not have been in there. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Food crime doesn't just mean consumers are getting ripped off. | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
It can also distort the market and undermine legitmate businesses - | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Talgarth Bakery supplies 150 food outlets with pies and pasties. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
It's a business built on consumer trust. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
It is key to us that everybody else basically comes in line, really, | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
because it is encouraging that anything you buy from a customer's | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
And that they could have the confidence in that | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
what they're buying, they know where it is coming from. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
The National Food Crime Unit says food fraud could cost the UK economy | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
The challenge is making sure the food we eat | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Wales could be doing more to recruit and retain junior doctors - | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
that's according to the Medical Director of | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Cardiff Vale University Health Board, who believes Wales has | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Latest figures show there are more than 300 unfilled trainee | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
But in Cardiff today, hundreds of junior doctors started | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
work at the University Hospital of Wales. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Nicola Smith went to find out what brought them here. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Let's go into the treatment room here. | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
This is where the children have their blood... | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
It is Matthew Jones' first day in the paediatric unit | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, and he is getting a tour | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
He has worked in Wales and England but has chosen | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
I graduated from Cardiff University and I thought I would come back | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
to the hospital that I know reasonably well. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
It is certainly somewhere where you can learn an awful lot | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
of medicine or surgery, and it is a lovely city to live in. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
For all those reasons, Cardiff Vale University | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
Health Board has very few problems with recruitment and retention | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
But elsewhere, the picture is rather different. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Figures provided by the Wales Deanery last month | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
almost a quarter of posts were unfilled in the health boards | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
that cover both West and North Wales. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
The medical director here says, at its simplest, | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
it is about selling Wales to the rest of the UK and beyond. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
I think that my perspective is that I think we should be pushing | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
very hard what Wales can offer, because I do believe it has | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
We have a lot to offer here in Cardiff, as do my other | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
medical director colleagues in other UHBs across the rest of Wales. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
He is from Shanghai and told me there are several things | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Firstly, my seniors told me Cardiff and Wales in general has got | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
a really good teaching programme for junior doctors. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Everyone is nice and supportive and you learn a lot here. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Secondly, at the time, the junior doctor contract | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
was a concern for doctors in England, so I think that is a big | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
reason for why many of us chose Wales this year. | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
And thirdly, I was feeling quite adventurous myself. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
I had never been to Cardiff, I'd never been to Wales, | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
A total of 315 junior doctors like these two have started | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
They will have chosen Wales for a variety of reasons - | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
what is clear is the desire and the need to keep them. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
The Welsh Language Commissioner has complained to the BBC | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
following a tweet sent by a researcher, which asked | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
a contributor to appear on Radio 5 live to talk about | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
The station has apologised and said it was | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
for a "broad discussion about non-English languages". | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Meri Huws said the message was verging on racism. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Asking those types of questions, I think, about a language | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
which is a language which is alive, which is our language, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
one of our languages here in Wales, is not appropriate. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
In other contexts, it would definitely be considered racist. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
A family from Monmouth say they're "living the dream" after winning | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
more than ?61 million on the EuroMillions Lottery. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
The Davies scooped the prize by matching all seven numbers | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
Sonia Davies rang her daughter from the US and asked her to buy | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
a ticket after having life-saving cancer surgery. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Derek's winning numbers now - here's tonight's weather. | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
Forget ?61 million, I just want some summer weather. It was like them | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
today, with strong to gale force winds, costs at 50-60 mph. Still | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
blustery but the wind will gradually ease with a mixture of clear | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
intervals and showers. Temperatures in the mid-teens. The morning | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
tomorrow, less windy. Showers around and heavy in places but some dry | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
weather and sunshine also. The low pressure which brought today strong | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
winds will be over the North Sea close to Norway tomorrow, so the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
wind will be lighter. A mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
across the UK tomorrow. Some showers happy with a rumble of thunder. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
Cooler and fresher than today. Still up to 22 Celsius in London. Closer | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
to home, ate few showers. Still some heavy showers but if lucky you will | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
stay dry. Some blue sky and sunshine mixed in. 17-20dC with lighter | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
winds. In Aber again -- in Abergavenny, most of the day dry | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
with some sunshine but a shower possible. Evenly showers will fade | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
away tomorrow later and the windfalls, and it cools down to nine | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Celsius in Powys. One or two showers on Friday and sunny spells and | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
lighter winds feeling a little warmer. For the weekend, some | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
sunshine on offer but is not completely dry, turning down and | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
misty for a while. In other words, a mixed bag. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
From all of us on the programme, goodnight. | :13:22. | :13:26. |
