A large new prison could be built in North Wales as part of plans by

the Ministry of Justice. Seven prisons in England could close and

the new super present holding 2000 could be built. North Wales is one

of that the locations being Saving money and modernising the

prison service is the aim of the plan, according to the Westminster

Government. And it could eventually lead to a huge prison for 2,000

inmates being built in North Wales. I am glad the Government

acknowledges the need for a prison in north Wales. But I'm not happy

with the idea of one that holds 2000 people. These huge prisons

have been showing in America and they don't work. People go in in a

terrible state and come out worse. Back in 2009, there were plans to

build a smaller prison on the old Friction Dynamics site near

Caernarfon. But that particular site isn't under consideration this

time. The new North Wales Police Commissioner welcomes the idea in

principle. It is very good for the economy. It is good from the point

of view of Careers for young people. People who want to join the Prison

Service, and have a career in the Civil Service were created to

prisons. One woman who works with the families of prisoners says a

small prison in North Wales specifically for local inmates is

what is needed. Prisoners lose connection with their families and

it makes it harder for them when they come out. It is harder for

them to settle down and feel part of their family, let alone their

community again. Park Prison near Bridgend will be expanded as part

of the plans. But seven prisons in England will close, including

If there is a prison in north Wales, it is expected to be located

somewhere in the north-west take advantage of the road connections.

Although there is strong enthusiasm for a prisoner here, it seems the

size of the development has dampened enthusiasm -- for a prison.

An 18-year-old man is expected to appear before magistrates tomorrow

accused of murdering a 45-year-old in Aberdare. The body was found in

the early hours of yesterday morning.

A senior Scotland Yard anti- terrorism officer has been found

guilty at a local court of offering to sell information about the phone

hacking investigation to the News Of The World. Detective Chief

Inspector April Casburn denied the charges of misconduct while in

The first to be prosecuted and the first found guilty - April

Casburn's career at Scotland Yard is now over. Southwark Crown Court

heard how the 53-year-old Detective Chief Inspector was unhappy that

the anti-terrorism unit was investigating the extent of phone

hacking at the News of the World. In September 2010, she phoned the

paper, offering information about the investigation to a journalist.

Although the story was not published, and no money changed

hands, the prosecution maintained that she'd attempted to undermine a

highly sensitive investigation. The Metropolitan Police said in a

statement that April Casburn had "betrayed the service." The judge

warned that she could face a prison term when she is sentenced at the

end of the month. A scheme to support and employ

people in Wales could end the year earlier than expected. Desperate

unemployed people. The Genesis 2 Cymru, which has received millions

of pounds of public funds has not been effective enough. Opposition

parties have called for an Without the help of the Genesis 2

Cymru programme, Shelly Hobson doubts whether she would have found

work in this hairdresser's in Tumble. As a single mother of three

children, Shelly got financial help with the cost of childcare so she

could go back to college. She now works three days a week and says

she owes a lot to the Genesis scheme. I was on my own. I was very

depressed and they helped me raise more confidence and go to college

and stay there as well. They were like a pig brain to me when I was

in college. -- backbone. Genesis Cymru was set up in 2008 to help

20,000 people back to work, but the Welsh Government has decided to cut

the scheme's budget by �23 million, meaning that the lifetime of

Genesis, which was meant to continue until June 2014, is coming

to an end. A spokesperson for the Deputy Minister for Skills, Jeff

Cuthbert, said no final decision has been made to close the scheme,

so it was "not possible to He added that "a recent internal

review of Genesis Cymru Wales 2 has found that the programme is

If there is a problem with the scheme we did find out what it is

and what the government will do an alternative to this scheme. If the

scheme fails, fine, but what can we have in its place? There is no

doubt something is needed. Having found work, Shelly Hosbon's contact

with Genesis ended in June last year. Her acknowledgement shows

that the scheme has benefited some, but it appears that the public

money didn't reward everyone the Students at Welsh universities

gained that Dewar first class and 2:1 degrees than in the rest of the

UK, according to figures out today. But more will students get a job

after graduating -- Welsh students. Do more details now.

Today's figures at from the agency show students and Wales are once

again lagging behind. The situation has improved. Lusty 61% of students

in Wales earned a first class or a 2:1 degree but compared to the rest

of the things are not as good. 66% of students in England managed the

same grade up. The figure is 65% for students in Northern Ireland.

Scotland is far ahead on 72%. Universities here say students in

Wales are more likely to get a job after graduating, which is a

reflection of the establishment's priorities. Certainly in the third

year, there was a huge emphasis on the fact that it is very hard to

get a job, especially in Wales. So if we wanted to succeed we had to

do well as university and get either a first or similar. The body

representing a higher education establishment in Wales also says

they give more chances to people to attend university and that part-

time students do better here. But the opposition parties think the

statistics are a direct result of a failure by the Welsh government to

fund higher education. I think a question also comes up as to

whether this reflects the fact that the level of investment in Welsh

universities is lower than in other countries. If that is the problem,

I think that big questions come up about how universities are funded.

Higher education is now our market and a very competitive one, too.

There are suggestions that fewer students want to come to Welsh

universities and today's statistics There are still no agreement

between the BBC and the us agency about royalty payments to Welsh

musicians. In a meeting on Tuesday they made a new offer and expected

the BBC to respond by today but discussions between the two oh

parties continue. The Labour Party hopes to win a

seat in Wales in the 2015 election. The spokesman for the party said

they would target two seat in Carmarthenshire as well as

Pembrokeshire. They also include Cardiff South and Cardiff Central,

Abba Conwy and are then in North Wales.

Swansea have won away at Chelsea. The final score was 2-0 last night

at the end of the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final. This

ones are a big step closer to their first-ever appearance in a big

final. A week earlier, the club at the

bottom of the Premier League, QPR, came to Stamford Bridge and caused

quite a shock by winning 1-0. But the bookies didn't expect another

upset last night. Chelsea were the clear favourites, and they started

on fire, but Fernando Torres's eighth-minute strike was somewhat

wild, and another Spaniard with number nine on his back then found

Juan Mata tried to pass the ball past Tremmel, but this attempt was

also in vain, before Ivanovic's mistake gave Michu half a chance,

and Michu hasn't missed often this season. In the second half, Chelsea

had to turn to their hero, Frank Lampard, who failed on his best

attempt nine minutes before the end. Danny Graham was handed the chance

to make it 2-0, and he didn't miss either, ensuring a historic victory

for Swansea. The forwards got the headlines, but there was also high

I couldn't see this coming, to be honest. I came up here and hope to

get something from the game. I hope to win at the Liberty Stadium, but

a win 2-0 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is an amazing

result. Despite last night's celebrations, it's now half time -

the second leg will be played in a The nominations for the Oscars have
