AMs have backed the Welsh Government's Budget... | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
..with spending worth more than �14.5 billion. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
With Labour short of a majority in Cardiff Bay... | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
..they needed an agreement with the Liberal Democrats... | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
..to ensure that the Government won the day. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
We go live now to the Senedd and our political editor Betsan Powys. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
There was agreement on one thing in the Senedd today... | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
..that this Budget has to lead Wales through a huge economic challenge. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
But will it do that well? | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
There's less agreement on that. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Labour say that it's a budget to protect jobs. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Plaid Cymru say the budget cannot protect the Health Service... | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
..or boost the economy. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |

Public money is | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Public money is scarce so how should spare money be spent? | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
The Liberal Democrats have insisted that anything left over is spent on | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
disadvantaged children and that was enough for their five AM to say | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
vote in favour of the Welsh Government Budget, but how much | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
difference would the extra money make? It would make a difference to | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
a school in our situation. We are talking about �400 per head for the | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
children. That is around �12,000 for our school. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Without a majority the Labour Party needed the support of another party. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
They turned their back on Plaid Cymru's offer to deal with the Lib | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Dems. This is a change for the Lib Dems | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
who are in a coalition in Westminster with the Tories. The | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
situation is a bit different. The Labour Party have a minority | :02:47. | :03:00. | |
Government. This agreement shows that we, even as the smallest party | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
in Government, can effect change. Most of the money will go to the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
health service and there are cuts in other areas like Local | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Government, but the agreement with the Liberal Democrats has seen an | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
extra �20 million for the education budget. It is a temporary agreement | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
rather than a first step towards a coalition akor to go the Labour | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Party -- according to the Labour Party, but Plaid Cymru say the | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
agreement is empty. They wanted to Growth forecasts have dropped and | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
and lots of people are out of work and companies cannot sell their | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
goods. Business needs support and people need to be kept in their | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
jobs because the Government has not done that, we can't support the | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Budget. Argument over the Budget in Cardiff | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Bay is over for this year. Carwyn Jones might be pleased to see these | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
discussions becoming an annual But will a coalition and the | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
stability it offers become too much More on this now as we return to | :04:14. | :04:28. | |
People were talking clearly about the challenge of the Budget and it | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
left - it led to difficult decisions, but it was a fundamental | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
disagreement about whether the Budget does the work it could do. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
It is It is doing the best it can, Labour and Liberal Democrats say | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
considering what the Government has to work with, but the Tories were | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
clear that Labour is spending too much money pointing the finger at | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Westminster and not dealing with Wales. | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Plaid Cymru says there was not enough getting to grips with the | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
situation that is getting out of hand and they need to do more with | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
the Budget than they are. The next question for the next few | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
months is if this sets the foundations for another agreement | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
or a coalition? I don't think at the moment that will happen. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Communication will continue because they need to discuss the rest of | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
the Budget where the capital will be spent and how the money for | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
disadvantaged children will be spent, but the Lib Dems were clear | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
today that this is one agreement. Remember there are local elections | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
in May and the Liberal Democrats will be on every doorstep in Wales | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
saying "look what we have achieved in the assembly." It is very | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
difficult to see how Labour politicians would want to give more | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
of a boost to them to do that The parents of a five-year-old boy | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
..after their son was killed outside their home. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
The Cardiff coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death... | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
..in the case of Harry Patterson. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
The family car had slid back on a steep slope... | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
..and crushed him against a wall. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Gwenfair Griffith reports from the inquest. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
"The | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
"The apple | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
"The apple of | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
"The apple of my eye" was how Harry Patterson's mother described her | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
five-year-old son. He just come home from a drama lesson last | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
September when the accident happened. His mother parked the | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
family's Seat Alta outside the house on this slope and went in to | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
cook supper and then the car started to roll back, crushing | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Harry between the car and a stone wall. He was taken to the | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
University Hospital of Wales in an air air ambulance, but died of head | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
injuries. His parents heard today how he would not have been able to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
release the handbrake himself and police examined the the car and | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
found nothing wrong with the brakes. The inquest heard there was a | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
possibility that the brakes could have loosened as they cooled. The | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Highway Code says if a car is not in gear, it can slide and that | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
seems to be what happened here. The coroner said it was an awful | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
combination of a steep drive and the brake cooling system that | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
caused the accident. He said the car was not left in first gear | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
although it was on a slope and this could have stopped the accident | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
from happening. Outside the inquest, Harry's father said he wanted to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
raise awareness of the of the dangers to stop the same thing | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
happening to another family. We have paid a high cost to learn | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
the consequences of parking a car on a steep slope. I would like to | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
ask everyone to make sure they put their car in gear at all times and | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
avoid an accident such as what happened to us. Three months since | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Harry's death, the family say they are lost without his company and | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
they will feel that way for the The funeral of Gary Speed will take | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
A memorial service to celebrate the life of the Wales manager... | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
..will be arranged soon. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
We heard last week how Welsh health boards are likely to face debts... | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
..of �50 million by the end of the financial year. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Tonight, BBC Wales understands that the Hywel Dda Local Health Board... | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
..in west Wales is considering cutting back... | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
..on non-urgent operations over the Christmas and New Year period. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Our reporter Aled Scourfield is following the story... | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
..and joins us now from the WestWales General Hospital in Carmarthen. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
We | :08:34. | :08:34. | |
We were | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
We were talking | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
We were talking about Hywel Dda Health Board, what are they they | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
suggesting? We understand there will be cutbacks in operations | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
during December and January. It is not unusual to perform fewer | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
operations over Christmas and New Year, but Hywel Dda Health Board | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
confirmed that they intend to extend that period. They say they | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
want to concentrate on emergency services over Christmas. How does | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
this compare to the rest of Wales? In the north, the health board says | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
they are following the usual pattern of Christmas period | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
operations and in Cardiff, they say they intend to increase the number | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
of operations over the Christmas period so there will be questions | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
tonight about why Hywel Dda Health Board is doing this. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
And in terms of the wider picture this is a difficult, if not dark | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
time for the Health Service? Certainly. We heard last week that | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
health boards in Wales have debts of some �50 million and Hywel Dda | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Health Board has a debt of �4 million despite emergency financial | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
aid of �3 million from the Welsh Government. It is quite clear that | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
the Health Minister has said that there will not be extra financial | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
help. What is interesting about this story is that Hywel Dda Health | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Board has confessed that there is no option, but to cut back on | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
operations which are not urgent. Many people are asking tonight if | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
this is a sign of the health boards The family of a Welsh private | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
..after a meeting with the Home Secretary. | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Daniel Morgan was killed with an axe outside a pub in London in 1987... | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
..but his killer was never caught. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Theresa May has offered to start a new police investigation. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
But Mr Morgan's family were hoping for a judicial review. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
There was another warning today to Eurozone countries... | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
..that they must get to grips with the debt crisis. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Standard & Poor's credit rating agency issued the warning. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
It is clear that the American government is also concerned... | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
..as the US Treasury Secretary is in Europe... | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
..prior to the EU Summit in Brussels at the end of the week. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |

Germany is the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Germany is the first port of call for Timothy Geithner, the US | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Treasury Secretary. Over the next few days, he will meet the leaders | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
of France, Italy and Spain as well. This is as the credit rating agency, | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Standard and Poor's published a warning. They grade countries | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
according to their ability to pay debts. France and Germany are | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
amongst six countries with the best rating which is AAA, but Standard | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
and Poor's say they are keeping an eye on that and there is a warning | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
that some countries could lose their AAA rating before long. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
I think the timing is important as we are in another important week | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
for the euro because of the summit at the end of the week. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Many commentators have said how it was unfortunate that Standard and | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Poor's said this week what they have said. But having acknowledged | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
that, I think it is important that the leaders know what they think. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
The leaders of France and Germany have said that tighter rules are | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
needed on eurozone countries. The stock market lost ground in Germany | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
today and no one doubts the importance of that country to the | :12:34. | :12:45. | |
future of the system. Germany compares... They have to | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
help other countries out now. There was another warning tonight | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
from David Cameron. He could vote against a European agreement if it | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
is not in Britain's benefit. Verbally and on paper, there are | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
The Afghan president says that at ..and 50 injured by an explosion in | :13:07. | :13:11. | |

At least four people were also killed after an attack... | :13:14. | :13:17. | |

Shortly after midday in Kabul on the most important day of the | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Shi'ite calendar, this suicide bomb attack happened. Witnesses say it | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
was a sectarian attack, the like of which has not been seen in | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Afghanistan for years. At least 54 people died here. They were taking | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
part in the Ashura religious festival which is is marked with a | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
national holiday. Around the same time another attack happened in a | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
Shi'ite mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif killing four people with tens more | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
injured. In Germany, where the country's president, har har har | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
Hamid Karzai is meeting leaders, he expressed his shock at the nature | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
of the attacks. This is the first time that on such | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
an important religious day in Afghanistan, an attack of that | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
horrible nature has taken place. In the the meantime, President | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Karzai has decided not to travel to Britain and has returned to | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
Afghanistan because of the attacks. As families and friends wait for | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
news outside one of the hospitals in Kabul, no one so far has taken | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
responsibility for the attacks that killed tens of ordinary people in | :14:38. | :14:46. | |

The council was penalised after information about the case... | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
..of two children in care was sent to the wrong person. | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
This is the largest fine... | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
..the Office of the Information Commissioner has ever given. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
An investigation is planned after a man died in Buckley in Flintshire. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Police have confirmed that they responded to a call last night... | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
..and that Morgan Owen died during a public order incident. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
24-year-old Mr Owen was a soldier with the Royal Engineers regiment. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
It is not yet clear how he died. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |

Campaigners against the clorue of a day centre in Aberystwyth... | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
..have presented a petition containing nearly 6,000 names... | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
..to Ceredigion Council. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
They argue that a move to a new site would be detrimental... | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
..to the service being provided. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
The council denies this, and says that the space is needed... | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
..to make room for a new supermarket... | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
..which could create hundreds of new jobs. | :16:03. | :16:05. | |

A smaller group, but representing thousands, the campaigners | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
presented their petition to the leader of Ceredigion Council after | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
collecting nearly 6,000 signatures in a month. It is a sign of the | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
strong feelings about the plan to close the day centre in Aberystwyth. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
This is the place causing strong feelings. It was built to provide | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
services to elderly and vulnerable people. The campaigners say over | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
100 people use it. There are lots of facilities here. | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
People can come here and have a bath or a shower. They can get a | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
meal. The place they are planning to move it to is half the size with | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
fewer facilities. Mair Roberts has been using the | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
centre for 17 years. She said the services would not be as good after | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
moving to the old Town Hall where the council has spent nearly �1 | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
million adapting it for the day centre. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
There is no bathroom. There is only one toilet and it is not a disabled | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
toilet and there is only one shower. We need a bath with a hoist. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
The current sen centre is next to a site earmarked for a Tesco's | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
supermarket. It will create jobs and boost the economy according to | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
the council and although a street of houses and the day centre must | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
be demolish, the council said services would be good in the new | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
centre. It is good in terms of the services | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
available in the Town Hall and it will be a good place for the | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
current users of the day centre. The council say work on the old | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Town Hall will be finished within weeks, but the campaigners promised | :17:54. | :17:57. | |

But in difficult times, that's about to change... | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
..as we hear now from Sion Tecwyn. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |

Preparation work for this business park next to Bangor has been | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
completed for several months, but not one company has moved here and | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
it is completely empty. There is increasing feeling in local | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
authorities in North Wales that they need to take a new look at how | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
to attract businesses to the area as well as how to boost the economy | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
in general. The first step towards doing that is more co-operation. In | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
such a wide area, it is obvious there will be differences with the | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
needs of different areas. Councils feel they could do well out of co- | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
operation. I think we have developed in terms | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
of economic performance against the rest of Wales. You see the figures | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
about the levels of wealth and unemployment levels amongst young | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
people. If we co-operate and come together, perhaps we can make | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
better use of the situation. The intention is to ensure that | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
bodies like colleges and universities are also part of the | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
new strategy and local companies have also welcomed the plans. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
We see two or three hundred companies every year and they often | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
talk about how difficult it is to understand the business landscape. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
Despite the generally dark economic picture, the local council thinks | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
this could make a big change to the situation in North Wales in the | :20:28. | :20:35. | |

The highlights for | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
The highlights for Dai Greene this year was getting the medal at the | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
World Athletic Championships, he is already a European and Commonwealth | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
400 meters hurdles champion and had a series of sparkling performances | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
in the Diamond League before his big big moment in South Korea. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
He was obviously the person who was going to win and everybody was | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
waiting for his performance because he was so strong in every race | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
running up to to it. It was obvious... They wanted to | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
make sure he won and he has made a big stamp and he is leading the | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
world over the next year in the run-up to the Olympics. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Everybody knows they have to beat him to win the gold medal. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Three disciplines in one. There are easier way to say earn a living | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
than through swimming, running and cycling and running triathlon races. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Helen Jenkins did well in races everywhere, but winning in London | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
was key as the Welsh woman went on to win the World Championship for | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
the second time. She has had an unbelievable year. Everything has | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
gone write. -- right. She won in Hyde Park which is the | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Olympic course for next year. That will give her great confidence to | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
win on that course. It is excellent to have someone like Helen coming | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
from Wales which is a small country and she is the world champion. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
This multi-talented athlete, Nathan Stephens, has reached the top in a | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
number of disciplines. After success in the discus and shotpot, | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
2011 was the year he won gold with the javelin. The Welshman rose to | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
the top in the Paralympic World Championships in New Zealand before | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
before breaking the world record as well. | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
This year has been his best year ever. | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
He has beaten everyone in the world. He is on fire. No one will stop him | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
now. He will get his gold medal in London. He has been in the game now | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
