English universities have got the go ahead, but the Education Secretary | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
says Welsh institutions will not be allowed to charge more | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Also tonight: The latest on the terror arrest in Cardiff, | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
Police indicate it relates to a possible attack within the UK. | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
As a resident of this area I find it very disturbing and upsetting for | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
us. Especially for families. We're at Ferndale Labour club | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
in Rhondda, finding out who's proving a hit with members | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
on the eve of the leadership result. Tora's genetic condition increases | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
her risk of developing cancer. Her family call for a specialist | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
centre to be opened here. And in tonight's sport there's no | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
vacancy, but Ryan Giggs would be interested in managing Swansea City | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
if the club came calling. It's emerged tonight that Welsh | :00:57. | :01:11. | |
universities will not be allowed to charge more for courses | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
next year, unlike their Education Secretary Kirsty Williams | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
says the maximum they'll be able to charge will remain at ?9,000 | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
compared to ?9,250 over the border. It comes amid concerns higher | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
education in Wales will become "second rate" if tuition | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
fees here don't go up. Our education correspondent | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Bethan Lewis is at What's the detail on this? Well, the | :01:41. | :01:56. | |
situation at the moment is that universities in Wales and England | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
can charge a maximum of ?9,000 a year for full-time undergraduate | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
courses. Over the summer the UK Government said that universities in | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
England could charge more next year, ?9,250 a year. That's the first rise | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
since the system was established in 2012. Subsequently, that charge | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
could go up with inflation. The Welsh governments decide on three | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
levels for Welsh universities and today the Education Secretary has | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
written 2am 's and said that tuition fees, the fee level, would be the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
same in Welsh universities next year. -- written to Assembly | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
members. At the same time, she said that Welsh students studying in | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
England would be able to extend their tuition fee loan to cover the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
extra costs they may have if courses get Mike Spencer. What has been the | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
reaction so far? The NUS in Wales has welcomed the announcement that | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
they won't be an increase next year. Over some are reacting to the rise | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
in English university fees the Vice Chancellor of Swansea University, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Professor Richard Davies, said there was a risk that Welsh universities | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
could be considered second rate if they couldn't increase the levels. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
We spoke to him again this afternoon and he said that he is hopeful the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Welsh government will find a way of allowing for inflation to | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
university's costs. But everybody in higher education is looking ahead to | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
the publication of a major report next week into university finance | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
and funding. The Diamond review publishes on Tuesday. In particular, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
people will be looking at what will happen to the Jewish and the grant, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the ?5,000 a year the Welsh government contributes towards Welsh | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
student's fees. -- the tuition grant. This is just one piece of the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
student finance jigsaw with much more to come next week. | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
Police have indicated that an arrest in Cardiff yesterday and the | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Terrorism Act relates to a possible attack within the UK. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
A 33-year-old man is still being questioned, and two | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
houses in the city have been searched by police. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
From yesterday afternoon through the night and today, police have been | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
searching this house in the Riverside area of Cardiff. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Though not confirmed, it is believed to be connected with the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
investigation by counterterrorism police understands the arrests made | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
yesterday afternoon in Cardiff is related to alleged Islamist | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
terrorism. The Metropolitan Police have | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
indicated that the arrest relates to a possible attack within the UK. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
The man who lives here in this street has not been named, but local | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
people say he's lived there for more than 20 years. A Cardiff man. | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Former councillor, Mohammed Islam, lives in this neighbourhood. He told | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
me how people feel about what's happened. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
It's shocking and horrifying for us in the local community. Riverside | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
has become a centre point for the media and the police. For this kind | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
of incident. It is very upsetting for local residents. Local residents | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
of this area will find very much disturbing and very upsetting for | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
us. Especially for families and young children. We wake up in the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
morning and CB police vans. It's nice. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Another man who has lived here all his life told me how shocked he was. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
It's quite worrying for my children and staff when they go to the shop | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
and see people walking, see police. They get terrified for things like | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
that. The 33-year-old man arrested in the city yesterday is being held | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
at a central London police station. He's being questioned on suspicion | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
of the preparation, commission and instigation of terrorist acts. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Police say this arrest was preplanned. The result of an | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
investigation by the MPS counterterrorism command. Supported | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
by the Wales extremism and counterterrorism unit. Meanwhile, | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
another surge has been taking place in the nearby Grangetown area of the | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
in the nearby Grangetown area of the city. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
A man who says he was sexually abused as a teenager, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
has told a court he has nightmares about a birthmark on the face | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Former police superintendent Gordon Anglesea denies three charges | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
From Mold Crown Court, here's our reporter, Roger Pinney. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
This is Saint Josephs School in Wrexham. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
But in the 70s and 80s a Home Office attendance and was based there. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
That has been the focus of much of today's evidence. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
Gordon Anglesea ran the centre, according to the prosecution its way | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
he abused one of his alleged victims who was a teenager time. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
In the witness box that teenager, now a man in his 40s, | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
was pressed by the defence about the birthmark | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
In a statement seen by the Jury he said it was on the right side, | :07:14. | :07:27. | |
He also said it gave him nightmares prompting this from the defence. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
That birthmark you said you would never forget, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
you put it on the wrong side, and too high up. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
For the prosecution, Elinor Lawes QC asked the | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
The prosecution then turned to Gordon Anglesea's visits | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
to the now closed Brynestyn children's home in Wrexham. | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
Retired police Inspector Ian Kelman said in 1994 he been shown | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
a statement in which Gordon Anglesea said he'd only visited | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
I knew that was wrong, Ian Kelman, said. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
And what was the harm in that, he said? | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Another former police officer, John Kenny, said Gordon Anglesea | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
was a regular visitor to Brynestyn and another home, Brynaman. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Gordon Anglesea denies all charges and the case continues. | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
Roger Pinney, BBC Wales Today, at Mold Crown Court. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
A 15-year-old boy committed suicide, partly due to management failures | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
at a privately-run school and children's home in Powys. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
That's the finding of an inquest jury. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
The body of Jordan Kane Woonton from Nottinghamshire was found | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
at Pentwyn School at Clyro near Hay-on-Wye, four years ago. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
The school was closed in December 2012, by Hampshire-based owners, | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
One of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow ministers has called on the Labour | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
party to "grow up" and show some "tough love", as it gathers | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
in Liverpool for the result of its leadership contest. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
The Cardiff Central MP, Jo Stevens, also says that if Mr Corbyn | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
beats the challenger, Owen Smith, he'll need | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
to make compromises for the good of the party. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
As the contest comes to an end, our political editor, Nick Servini, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
has been looking at what it means for Labour. | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
Rehearsal time for some veteran rockers at Ferndale Labour club in | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
the Rhondda. Over the course of the year another better and has emerged | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
centrestage to lead the party, Jeremy Corbyn. Even by recent | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
standards this has been an extraordinary year. Civil War at | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Westminster and bad feeling out in the constituencies, now culminating | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
in the second leadership contest. It's easy to lose sight of this, but | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
what on earth to party members and voters think of it all? I came here | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
exactly 12 months ago when people's thoughts surrounding Jeremy Corbyn | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
were a mixed bag. Is he going back to old Labour? Perhaps people want | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
old things coming back, perhaps they want more puberty in politics. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
But what is the feeling now? -- puberty in politics. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Why are you a businessman? He's had a year and he's had one good speech | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
against Theresa May in the Commons that is the only thing he's done in | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
a 12 month. They should never have happened. | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Corbyn got elected and B should have let it run. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
You sound disillusioned. I think at the moment there's so much confusion | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
going on with the Labour Party they need to find they are going. They | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
need this election. Jeremy Corbyn made a big splash here | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
in the summer but critics say he will put Labour out of power for | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
regeneration, a claim dismissed by his supporters. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Every election we lose about 8% of the electorate by tidying or | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
dementia. Come on, somebody once said we aren't going to win | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
elections for 20 years. They are working out how people who want even | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
conceived yet going to vote! Local boy Owen Smith has been seen more in | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Wales launching his campaign in his Pontypridd constituency. The Cardiff | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Central MP Jo Stevens supported him but has also remained one of Jeremy | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Corbyn's shadow ministers. We've got to show the public we can | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
be a government in waiting. We have that responsibility. It's | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
not going to be easy but politics isn't easy. We have two be grown up | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
about it and tough love. We need to do a better job in the next 12 | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
months language done in the last five months. | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Rock bands famously break-up in acrimonious circumstances, whether | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
winds tomorrow, Labour's challenge would be keeping the Show on the | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
road when not everyone agrees with the front man. | :12:09. | :12:08. | |
The family of a two-year-old girl who has a rare genetic condition, | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
which can cause tumours to grow on her skin, are calling | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
for a specialist centre to be opened in Wales. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Tora Betsi, from Cardiff, has NF1, which means she's more likely | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
There are two specialist centres in England, but none here, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Tora is a happy to go who enjoys playing with her friends. She's been | :12:25. | :12:43. | |
coming to this gym since her family found out that she has NF1. As a GP | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
home unnoticed when she was born that there was something wrong. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
She was born with a cafe au lait spot which most people think is a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
normal birthmark, but because I'm a GPU is one of the things I spotted | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
an thought I'd keep an eye on to see if she developed anymore. Although | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
her first year she developed quite a few more, other little markers were | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
things like having a bigger head and being quite short as well and not | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
being as strong on her feet. She's a delayed developmentally with her | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
motor skills. NF1 is a common genetic condition with the same | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
number of cases as cystic fibrosis. It affects one in every 2500 babies | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
born in Britain. That means one baby Uday is born with NF1. Because | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
severity varies Tora needs regular tests. There are two centres in | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
England in London and Manchester, but no centre in Wales. One | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
specialist in Manchester feels that in an ideal world a centre in Wales | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
would be beneficial, but feels there isn't enough expertise here. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
There is a bit of missing out, but obviously the Welsh population is | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
quite small. We only have two centres for 52 or 53 million people | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
in England, so there's only 3.1 million people in Wales. So it's | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
difficult. It might be more cost-effective to actually buy into | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
the English service van to try and create a file, multidisciplinary | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
complex NF1 service in Wales. The Welsh government say it's difficult | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
to provide services for all brick conditions. And in some cases people | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
will need to travel to other centres in the UK for care and support. NF1 | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
can run in families, but NF1, Tora's brother hasn't been diagnosed with | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
the condition. The family are enjoying spending time together and | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
there are plenty of laughs and giggles. So, here we are inside the | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
shipping container. It used to spend its life at sea, but now it's a home | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
for someone that needs affordable housing. | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
There is some rain and stronger winds on the way but most | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
A man who was accused of harassing a Catholic priest who he says | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
abused him when he was a teenager has been told that he | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Mark Murray from St Asaph travelled to Italy, to offer | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
However, he's now been left with a large legal bill, | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
Mark Murray secretly filmed his encounter | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
with Father Romano Nardo last year on a visit to Verona. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
The missionary told him that if he was responsible | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
for hurting him as a boy then he was sorry. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Mark Murray was 14 when he says he was groomed and abused | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
by Father Nardo at Mirfield Seminary in Yorkshire in 1970. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
He is one of 11 men who were given financial settlements | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
by the Comboni Missionaries Order for abuse they suffered, | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
but the payments weren't an admission of guilt. | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
Romano Nardo has never been charged and according to police is too frail | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
But after their encounter Mark Murray was accused of trespass, | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
stalking and interfering in the priest's private life. | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Now though a judge in Italy has ruled that Mr Murray's actions | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
were justified, and he won't face prosecution. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
It's scandalous that it ever came to a hearing in the first place. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
I can only conclude that the reason why they did it is to try | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
and intimidate and stop people from coming forward. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Who may have also been abused at midfield. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
They want some sort of redress, or some sort of closure | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
or understanding of why they were abused in the first place. | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
In a statement Comboni Missionaries UK say the case wasn't pursued | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
by them but by Father Nardo's court-appointed legal guardian. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
They say they re shocked by the allegations of historic abuse | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
at the seminary and condemn unreservedly any actions which cause | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
Mark Murray still has a legal bill of around ?1,500. | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
He hopes his experience won't deter any other victims of abuse | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Investment in community-based projects is key to improving mental | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
health and reducing pressure on NHS services. | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
That's the message behind a new learning centre in Gower. | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
The 'Down to Earth' social enterprise scheme helps vulnerable | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
and disadvantaged groups with their personal development, | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
This sustainable building represents a new chapter in the lives of the | :17:33. | :17:45. | |
people who've worked hard to build it. Dave Black is one of those. A | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
former engineer with his own business he suffered a brain | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
haemorrhage three years ago which changed his life for ever. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
I withdrew from society. I didn't want to be involved. I felt as if I | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
was a victim, as strange as it may seem. It feels like you've been | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
abuse. There were dark days when I felt like, is it worth carrying on | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
with living. I considered, at times, would I take my own life? I would | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
never do that sort of thing. Since being introduced to the | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
project by the neutral psychology department at Morriston Hospital | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Dave has experienced a positive change in his mental health. The | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
project is about helping individuals who sustained a brain injury to | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
rebuild their lives. The focus is on cognitive thinking and social | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
interaction. It's seen as an effective recovery process alongside | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
clinical intervention. It's so important that we invest in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
projects to improve people's psychological well-being. Enable | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
them to thrive into the community. It has a knock-on effect, the | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
individual, the family, society. And at the end of the day, to the health | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
service. It will save money in the long when if we rethink how we | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
deliver models of health care. With investment from the big lottery | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
fund and the Welsh government be centre will be used to teach a range | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
of skills to some society's most vulnerable people. The aim is to | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
reduce social isolation and boost self-esteem. An initiative the first | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Minster believes could be rolled out more widely. | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
We need to look at what is best for people when they are recovering from | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
a traumatic time. We always have to look at new ways of doing that. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Particularly ways that are effective. I've heard from people | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
today have told me how effective this particular way of getting onto | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
the road of recovery actually was. Carefully constructive, it's hoped | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
the centre can make a positive change to people's lives. They | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
They realise the sky 's the limit to their ambition. | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
Time for tonight's sport now, with Claire. | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
There's no vacancy at the moment but the BBC understands Ryan Giggs | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
would be interested in managing Swansea City if the club parted | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
The Swans have made a poor start to the season, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
putting increasing pressure on the Italian and prompting | :20:09. | :20:09. | |
Swansea city aren't looking for a new manager but should one be | :20:10. | :20:24. | |
required but Ryan Giggs be the first name on their wanted list. The | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
42-year-old has made no secret of his desire to manage a Premier | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
League club. The speculation comes against a backdrop of increasing | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
pressure surrounding the current manager. He has the backing from the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
club's owners but needs doing things around quickly. That won't be an | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
easy task. Swansea face Manchester city at the Liberty Stadium tomorrow | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
followed by Liverpool weekend. Then they face Arsenal away. | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
There is no doubt that Ryan Giggs would be top of the list if Swansea | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
city were to dispense with the services of Francesco. The American | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
investors would be part of the process, they are making it clear | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
that there is no immediate danger to the Italian. But he knows as any | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
manager would, that the club near the bottom of the table and results | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
need to turn around quickly. Another manager feeling the pressure is | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Cardiff City boss Paul Trollope. He says he's confident he can change | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
the fortunes of the club after receiving backing from the chairman. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
They sit bottom of the championship table and face away. We obviously | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
know we can't keep getting beat, getting beat but we are confident. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
We are sticking together. We can get the results and get the winds to get | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
us off the bottom. It's a horrible place to be. It's something we need | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
to address as quickly as possible and looking to do that tomorrow. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Both clubs would welcome a return to form tomorrow, and take the pressure | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
off until the next game at these. and take the pressure off | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
until the next game at these. So Swansea and Cardiff looking | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
to get back to winning ways and in League Two, | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
Newport County are looking to pull away from trouble, | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
they face bottom of the table, Rugby, top of the table Ospreys | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
are aiming to remain unbeaten tonight, when they face Leinster | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
in the Pro12. Alun Wyn Jones will make his 200th | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
appearance for the region. The Dragons play Treviso this | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
evening - Hallam Amos will captain And tomorrow the Cardiff Blues, | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
who are also unbeaten, face Zebre away; and the Scarlets | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
are home to Connacht, The Ospreys game is live | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
on BBC Two Wales, catch Scrum V Recycled shipping containers have | :22:30. | :22:46. | |
already been used to house cafes and office spaces. But could they be a | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
way of tackling homelessness? A Newport charity is aiming to convert | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
containers into apartments. Today they unveiled a show home to | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
persuade councils to fund ten more. Most of their working lives they are | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
on the high seas exposed to the elements but the humble shipping | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
container shares many properties with an ideal home. Watertight and | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
robust with a suit in urban chic. They are being snapped up for new | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
uses on dry land like this Cardiff Bay cafe. With the homeless crisis | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
growing and house prices rising these containers are being seen as a | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
source of affordable homes. Here we are inside the container. It | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
spent its life at sea, but now it's a home for someone that needs | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
affordable housing. This 40 foot container in Newport is the | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
brainchild of Stuart Johnson and his charity Amazing Grace Bases it cost | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
?2000 to buy and 20,000 to convert. We've insulated fully, walls, | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
floors, ceiling. There is a full-size kitchen with a proper | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
kitchen not what I classed as a student kitchen. You've got a nice | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
living area, big enough for a single person or a couple. We've used a | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
second hand went straight off the war. Its recycling. It's good for | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
the environment. We can start them, we can do three, four, five high. | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
I used to be a heroin addict living on the streets. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Maria knows what it's like to be homeless. She's as a place like this | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
would be a dream come true for those who fall on hard times. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
It gives homeless people more hope and belief that they could get a | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
chance of somewhere to live and somewhere safe. They can keep their | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
belongings and everything else say. Somewhere where they can close the | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
door at night and feel warm. The charity is hoping to persuade | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
councils to back this project to build more. | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
We want to do a pilot of ten, that means ten of them, 200,000. You | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
wouldn't get anywhere in this area, ten, one-bedroom self-contained | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
flats for that sort of price. This charity has been helping those | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
caught in the cycle of homelessness for 25 years. They are confident | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
these steel structures could be part of the solution. | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
