:03:23. > :03:29.do it well and he is really keen that jobs are done well,

:03:29. > :03:39.particularly in the Wales Office. It was a good appointment according

:03:45. > :03:51.Jones, another Welsh Conservative. Baroness Randerson from the Liberal

:04:10. > :04:12.Jenny Randerson's background at the Assembly...

:04:12. > :04:14...will please a number in Cardiff who have accused David Jones...

:04:14. > :04:19...of not being a supporter of devolution in the past.

:04:19. > :04:23.It's been suggested tonight that tax payers in Wales could losing out...

:04:23. > :04:27...because land is being sold off too cheaply.

:04:27. > :04:29.The issue is currently being considered by the Audit Office...

:04:29. > :04:31...after a number of sites were sold to a company...

:04:31. > :04:34...which has been registered in Guernsey.

:04:34. > :04:36.The Conservatives have raised doubts about this...

:04:37. > :04:48...but the Welsh Government has defended the sales.

:04:48. > :04:48.There

:04:48. > :04:49.There is

:04:49. > :04:55.There is plenty

:04:55. > :05:07.There is plenty of Greenland around Cardiff. It's possible that housing

:05:08. > :05:15.could be built here. The land has been sold to South Wales Land

:05:15. > :05:22.Involvement. The company is registered on Guernsey. �21 million

:05:22. > :05:29.has been spent on various pieces of land. Was that enough money? The

:05:29. > :05:35.Conservatives have raised a number of questions. The process should be

:05:35. > :05:41.much clearer. That's my opinion. We should be able to see this land

:05:41. > :05:49.being marketed on the market, to make sure we get the value for

:05:49. > :05:56.money. Cardiff council want housing told built on this land. But if

:05:56. > :06:12.that happens perhaps the value of the land may increase. That's by

:06:12. > :06:21.millions of pounds. But is this the best time to sell this land? People

:06:21. > :06:36.have their doubts. We are in a recession. The value of land is

:06:36. > :06:45.down. The value is as low as it has been for the past decade.

:06:45. > :06:51.buyers say the land will be able to The Office of Fair Trading will

:06:51. > :06:55...concerning the amount of competition within the industry.

:06:55. > :06:57.The office also intends to consider...

:06:57. > :07:07...whether motorists are paying a fair price for fuel.

:07:07. > :07:09.This

:07:09. > :07:09.This was

:07:09. > :07:14.This was the

:07:14. > :07:18.This was the cost of a litre in Alltwalis this afternoon. The

:07:18. > :07:25.increase in prices can be seen clearly. These statistics show that

:07:25. > :07:40.the price of petrol has increased by 38% between June 2007 and this

:07:40. > :07:44.year. Do the prices go down when the value of crude oil goes down?

:07:44. > :07:48.That is what the Office of Fair Trading will be investigating.

:07:48. > :07:54.Competition within the industry will be considered. And whether

:07:54. > :07:59.there is enough competition in rural areas. What effect are the

:07:59. > :08:06.supermarkets having on the industry? That's another question.

:08:06. > :08:10.That will be asked. Supermarkets can sell it cheaper because they

:08:10. > :08:22.have a shop that makes money, so that they can use the money from

:08:22. > :08:27.that to bring down the price of fuel. How long does it take for

:08:27. > :08:35.crude oil to come over to this country from other places? The

:08:35. > :08:39.prices increase overnight. Something needs to be done. The

:08:39. > :08:47.crude oil price goes down, but the prices don't go down in answer to

:08:47. > :08:50.Wales' Older People's Commissioner ..about fewer places being available

:08:50. > :08:53.The latest statistics show there are 600 fewer beds across Wales...

:08:53. > :08:58...and that one in five beds have disappeared within five years.

:08:58. > :09:02.The independent sector is now responsible for 85% of provision.

:09:03. > :09:16.Local authorities insist they are investing in community care.

:09:16. > :09:16.With

:09:16. > :09:18.With financial

:09:18. > :09:23.With financial pressures

:09:23. > :09:33.With financial pressures it is a challenge for local authorities to

:09:33. > :09:37.keep their care homes going. have social workers and they were

:09:37. > :09:43.assessing my mother and that took time. We had a number of meetings

:09:43. > :09:54.to see if my mother was OK to go to a home. It is very important that

:09:54. > :10:00.there are places available. It is hard enough knowing that your

:10:00. > :10:10.mother has to go to a home, but it's important that we have such

:10:10. > :10:21.places. Denbighshire has three care homes. Since 2005 there have been

:10:21. > :10:31.29 fewer beds available at care homes like this one. In some

:10:31. > :10:37.counties they do not have any care homes run by local authorities. One

:10:37. > :10:41.person who has fought for care in the home thinks things are not

:10:41. > :10:48.simple. We had to fight for care in the community. We managed to get it

:10:48. > :10:53.before the cuts. I cannot imagine what it is going to be like for

:10:53. > :10:57.families when they close these homes. It's a terrible situation.

:10:57. > :11:03.committee at the assembly has been investigating this and they will

:11:03. > :11:10.publish a report soon. People are staying at home for longer periods

:11:10. > :11:18.than they have been doing. But a time comes when you may need more

:11:18. > :11:23.care and a lot of people make the decision to go into a care home.

:11:23. > :11:30.The Welsh Government says other options are available. But private

:11:31. > :11:37.homes also are offering care but there has not been much change in

:11:37. > :11:42.the number of beds available across In Aberystwyth, the second of three

:11:42. > :11:44.The Hywel Dda Health Board is holding a consultation...

:11:44. > :11:46...on a number of changes, including the possibility...

:11:46. > :11:48...of closing Aberaeron community hospital.

:11:48. > :11:51.The board insists the aim is to increase the standard of services.

:11:51. > :11:52.For the third time, Unite union members...

:11:52. > :11:56...emloyed by Gomer in Llandysul are taking 24-hour strike action...

:11:56. > :11:59...because of allegations of bullying.

:11:59. > :12:01.The publishing company denies the allegations.

:12:01. > :12:06.The industrial action will end at midnight tonight.

:12:06. > :12:08.Police are trying to find out if a man from Swansea...

:12:08. > :12:12...who has fled from prison is now living in Cyprus.

:12:12. > :12:17.Martin Evans was given a 21-year prison sentence in 2006...

:12:17. > :12:19...for fraud and supplying drugs.

:12:19. > :12:23.That included obtaining �1 million through fraud...

:12:23. > :12:27...after people had invested in an ostrich farm in Dunvant, Swansea.

:12:27. > :12:29.He did not return to prison last year...

:12:29. > :12:35...after being released on licence for a weekend.

:12:35. > :12:38.The Ministry of Justice is asking for the general public's opinion...

:12:38. > :12:43...on plans to improve the provision of Welsh language services.

:12:43. > :12:46.The aim is to ensure that Welsh speaking prisoners...

:12:46. > :12:50...are able to use their first language.

:12:50. > :13:00.Campaigns have been run to make sure this is possible.

:13:00. > :13:04.Wales. It

:13:04. > :13:04.Wales. It is

:13:04. > :13:08.Wales. It is a

:13:08. > :13:11.Wales. It is a frightening experience where you cannot speak

:13:12. > :13:21.your language, that's what the -- that was experience for William

:13:22. > :13:28.Dolben. I was not able to speak Welsh to social workers. Or prison

:13:28. > :13:43.staff. You would not get it unless you made a fuss. I was told I would

:13:43. > :13:47.have to wait for it. The new Welsh language measure has raised the

:13:47. > :13:54.question about provision of Welsh language services in prison. Things

:13:54. > :14:01.should be well, especially if they come from the Home Office. They

:14:01. > :14:21.should respect the language in this country. But we have to fight for

:14:21. > :14:32.things in Welsh. On average some 7,000 criminals are sentenced every

:14:32. > :14:35.year. Many of those are sent to prisons in England. The ability to

:14:35. > :14:50.watch S4C is one of the recommendations that have been put

:14:50. > :14:59.forward. A campaign has come to light recently where one person in

:14:59. > :15:02.prison had a tough time when asking for Welsh language. It is only

:15:02. > :15:10.right that people are allowed to use Welsh language services in

:15:10. > :15:13.A new Welsh-medium primary school Ysgol Gymraeg y Cwm in Bonymaen

:15:13. > :15:15.The council says pupils who want a Welsh-medium education...

:15:15. > :15:17...will not have to travel too far to school.

:15:17. > :15:20.A third Welsh-medium secondary school has opened in Cardiff...

:15:20. > :15:23...with 71 pupils.

:15:23. > :15:27.Ysgol Bro Edern will serve the eastern part of the city.

:15:27. > :15:31.It currently shares the same site as Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf.

:15:31. > :15:33.Cardiff Council says this is temporary...

:15:33. > :15:35...and pupils will relocate...

:15:35. > :15:48...to the site of Teilo Sant School next year.

:15:48. > :15:49.The other

:15:49. > :15:54.The other two

:15:54. > :16:01.The other two Welsh secondary schools are full. It was clear that

:16:01. > :16:05.a third secondary school was required. That school will be

:16:05. > :16:16.located in the eastern part of the city. We predict there will be more

:16:16. > :16:32.than 1,000 pupils at the school ..it's time to head to the

:16:32. > :16:39.We'll get the latest Potential. Liz Johnson has taken

:16:39. > :16:49.the Welsh total number of medals into the double figures. She won a

:16:49. > :16:53.silver in the pool tonight. There was a third Paralympic medal

:16:53. > :16:57...the cyclist from Tredgar went over to Brands Hatch...

:16:57. > :17:08...to collect another silver today.

:17:10. > :17:16.The sun was

:17:16. > :17:23.The sun was shining in Brands Hatch today. It has been home to a number

:17:23. > :17:29.of Grand Prixs in the past, but today the crowds turned out to see

:17:29. > :17:35.the best Paralympic cyclists competing. Mark Colbourne was one

:17:35. > :17:42.of these competitors. The Welshman finished 12 seconds behind the

:17:42. > :17:52.world champion in the time trial. It was a silver medal for the

:17:52. > :17:59.Welshman who was overjoyed with the result. It was very tough for me to

:17:59. > :18:04.climb some of these hills, which are between 7 and 11%. It was very

:18:04. > :18:15.tough. But on the outskirts, on the closed sections, that is when you

:18:15. > :18:28.try to make up your time. After being struck by a car it has been a

:18:28. > :18:46.tough time for this Welsh cyclist. He finished fifth today. Sarah

:18:46. > :18:53.Storey has won today with a minute- and-a-half advantage. Mark

:18:53. > :19:01.Colbourne will be competing again Sailor Steve Thomas from Bridgend

:19:17. > :19:19...since his verbal outburst...

:19:19. > :19:23...which followed his silver medal winning performance in the 200m.

:19:23. > :19:26.Pistorius is safely through to tomorrow's 100m final.

:19:26. > :19:29.Meanwhile, the International Paralympic Committee...

:19:29. > :19:33...said there is no evidence tosupport the South African's claim...

:19:33. > :19:36...that athletes have changed the length of their running blades...

:19:36. > :19:41...during the games.

:19:41. > :19:43.As another busy day of competing continue...

:19:43. > :19:48...it gives me great pleasure to talk to my guests.

:20:08. > :20:13.There have been great performances, but it's not just the individuals

:20:13. > :20:17.that have contributed to the success. We have so many youngsters

:20:17. > :20:26.in the British team, many of them are under 20 years old and that

:20:26. > :20:36.says a lot for the future. There were ten golds for Wales in Beijing.

:20:36. > :20:42.Is it a disappointment this year that we have one fewer? Things are

:20:42. > :20:51.much more difficult this time. More countries are competing and things

:20:51. > :21:02.are getting much more competitive. We have to look at what has

:21:02. > :21:11.happened in London and consider that when we go to Rio.

:21:11. > :21:20.football competitions have ended and the camps have closed in Wales,

:21:20. > :21:28.so is there anything left for Wales? We are now talking about the

:21:28. > :21:34.legacy of the Games. There has been a surge of interest in people

:21:34. > :21:47.wanting it join sports clubs. It's important that we can work towards

:21:47. > :21:51.the future to make sure we do much better in future. What about
