:00:03. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today our top story: Weeks after a fatal
:00:07. > :00:11.explosion - a new beginning for Pembroke's oil refinery. Tonight
:00:11. > :00:21.the new American owners tell us why they want a slice of the welsh oil
:00:21. > :00:29.
:00:29. > :00:34.Our other headlines tonight: the Legionnaires' disease that killed
:00:34. > :00:37.two - the official report fails to pinpoint the source of outbreak.
:00:37. > :00:42.The hard work begins - parishioners who fought against the closure of
:00:42. > :00:45.their church buy it for a thousand pounds.
:00:45. > :00:50.Captain Matthew Rees will miss the two tests against England - but
:00:50. > :00:53.Wales are in bullish mood training for the World Cup.
:00:53. > :00:58.Keeping watch over the sea - excavating the secrets of Henry's
:00:58. > :01:01.VIII's defences. And at the National Eisteddfod in
:01:01. > :01:11.Wrexham a warning too many new homes here is putting a strain on
:01:11. > :01:14.schools, hospitals and the Welsh Good evening. It's worth tens of
:01:14. > :01:18.millions of pounds to the economy every year and employs well over a
:01:18. > :01:21.thousand people. Tonight the new American owners of the oil refinery
:01:21. > :01:26.in Pembroke have told Wales Today they see a long and successful
:01:26. > :01:30.future for the plant. It's just 2 months since it was the scene of an
:01:30. > :01:33.explosion which killed four people. Texas based Valero have now
:01:33. > :01:43.completed the �450 million deal and they've been speaking to our
:01:43. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:51.Valero is not a recognised name on our roads but in America they are a
:01:51. > :01:59.common sight on the highways. The company sells the all-American
:01:59. > :02:03.dream. But they stopped making a fuel on the east coast last year
:02:03. > :02:08.when they sold their refineries in the New Jersey and Delaware. Since
:02:08. > :02:14.then, they have been looking to move into Europe. With the flag
:02:14. > :02:20.flying high over Pembroke, it marks a new chapter for the company with
:02:20. > :02:24.their first move into Western Europe. It is part of our growth
:02:24. > :02:30.plan to find an appropriate acquisition in the UK. They looked
:02:30. > :02:33.at the facilities around the UK, they chose Pembroke in
:02:33. > :02:38.Pembrokeshire as the site they wanted to acquire. The employees
:02:38. > :02:42.are happy, it is turning a new chapter for the refinery which has
:02:42. > :02:48.been here almost 50 years. plant had been on the market for a
:02:48. > :02:52.year, Valero paid �450 million but after an explosion which saw
:02:52. > :02:57.workers killed in June, there were concerns over the purchase and the
:02:57. > :03:01.sale price. Now, the deal has gone through and the agreed amount of
:03:01. > :03:07.close to half a billion. Workers are looking to the future. It's
:03:07. > :03:11.been an emotional few months for staff at the refinery but this deal
:03:11. > :03:16.brings stability and also marks a new era, not just for the company
:03:16. > :03:22.which bought it but also for this massive site which has been here
:03:22. > :03:27.for over four decades. This is the first refinery, they see a massive
:03:27. > :03:31.future for themselves in Europe, it has bucked the trend of the last 20
:03:31. > :03:35.years about American companies pulling out of the UK and Europe.
:03:35. > :03:41.So, it's good news for Pembrokeshire and good news for the
:03:41. > :03:47.UK. Valero own 15 refineries across the world, the Pembroke plant is
:03:47. > :03:52.said to be one of Europe's largest and complex. A total producing
:03:52. > :03:57.capacity of 270,000 barrels a day. It's the largest private employer
:03:57. > :04:03.in the county with 1,400 staff and is said to be worth about �1.5
:04:03. > :04:10.million a week to the local economy. The deal also includes a network of
:04:10. > :04:17.more than 1000 service stations so we will not see the company name on
:04:17. > :04:23.our roads but Valero has now laid its European rates in the far west
:04:23. > :04:29.of Wales. An oil industry analyst joins me, what does it mean for the
:04:29. > :04:33.workforce? It is hugely positive for the people. When it Chevron
:04:33. > :04:39.announced they would sell the refinery, it caused worry and
:04:39. > :04:45.distress with workers and families. So, for a big major player like
:04:45. > :04:50.Valero to invest and indicate they will retain jobs is positive.
:04:50. > :04:54.is it attractive to Valero but not Chevron? It is a rare situation
:04:54. > :05:01.where it is good for both sides, Chevron were looking to get out of
:05:01. > :05:06.the UK and Europe for some time. Concentrating on oil exploration,
:05:06. > :05:10.getting it out of the ground. On the other hand, Valero have been
:05:10. > :05:17.seeking to expand operations in Europe. Kane macro are involved in
:05:17. > :05:21.all aspects of all production, they have massive distribution networks
:05:21. > :05:27.of 6,000 service stations so they get the Texaco service stations and
:05:27. > :05:30.ties up with the future. We were talking about the tragic explosion
:05:30. > :05:35.and fire, are you surprised about the speed with which the deal has
:05:35. > :05:39.gone through? At the time, there was concern the deal would not go
:05:39. > :05:45.through because of the tragedy, the impact of the tragedy in Wales was
:05:45. > :05:49.acute. It was enormous but Chevron and Valero, they expect these
:05:49. > :05:55.things to happen from time to time. It is a dangerous business. That
:05:55. > :05:59.said, the Pembroke oil refinery has a superb safety record and there
:05:59. > :06:05.was no doubt in my mind the deal would gain 3. It is a new name to
:06:05. > :06:10.many, what we know about Valero? They are a massive global concern,
:06:10. > :06:13.50 refineries in the US, this is the first in Europe, they have
:06:13. > :06:18.6,000 service stations and they have been increasingly looking at
:06:18. > :06:24.new areas where they can expand their refinery business. It's a
:06:24. > :06:28.good deal for them, should form would have hoped to receive more so
:06:28. > :06:34.for Valero and Chevron it is a good deal. We heard the refinery has
:06:34. > :06:40.been going for 50 years, we also here oil is running out, what about
:06:40. > :06:45.the future for the oil business and the oil refinery business in Wales?
:06:45. > :06:48.The oil refinery business is getting more and more complex, one
:06:48. > :06:52.reason it should run want to leave his they want to concentrate on
:06:52. > :06:57.exploration which they see as more profitable. Kane macro have a
:06:57. > :07:02.robust business and it fits into their future plans -- Valero. The
:07:02. > :07:05.price of oil is getting more expensive.
:07:05. > :07:09.Two people have been arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous
:07:09. > :07:11.driving, after a man was found dead on the side of a road. The body of
:07:11. > :07:17.Ian Hamilton, from Bristol, was found near Pontllanfraith, near
:07:17. > :07:21.Blackwood, last month. Gwent Police say a 22 year old woman and an 18-
:07:21. > :07:25.year-old man - both from Risca - are in custody.
:07:25. > :07:28.A man has died after his car left the road and caught fire on the
:07:28. > :07:31.A470 in Rhondda Cynon Taf. It happened just past the Pontypridd
:07:31. > :07:37.turn-off towards Rhydyfelin. The southbound carriageway at Abercynon
:07:37. > :07:47.was closed for more than seven hours, causing major delays. No one
:07:47. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :07:56.else was hurt. Campaigners fighting to save their
:07:56. > :07:59.church in the Rhondda from closure, are celebrating tonight after
:07:59. > :08:02.accepting an offer to buy it. After a month-long protest - by
:08:02. > :08:05.parishioners of All Saints in Maerdy - the Church in Wales has
:08:05. > :08:08.agreed to sell it for a thousand pounds. Church authorities believe
:08:08. > :08:12.it'll costs hundreds of thousands to restore. The bells rang out in
:08:12. > :08:14.celebration across the village of Maerdy today. After to close to a
:08:14. > :08:17.month of campaigning - the parishioners of All Saints are a
:08:17. > :08:24.step closer to saving their church for the community. The wicket when
:08:24. > :08:27.church with lots of debt. -- we get. With a dwindling congregation and a
:08:27. > :08:30.mounting repair bill - The Church In Wales had earmarked All Saints
:08:30. > :08:33.for closure. But a handful of the faithful were so incensed they
:08:33. > :08:36.staged a sleep-in protest. Now the Church says they can buy the
:08:36. > :08:45.building for just a thousand pounds. However that sum is a fraction of
:08:45. > :08:53.the amount they need to raise to restore it. We have identified
:08:53. > :08:57.renovation works. We will ask the local community to keep supporting
:08:57. > :08:59.us and we have a lot of work on. It is achievable and we can do it.
:08:59. > :09:03.Campaigners say they'll get professional advice before signing
:09:03. > :09:06.anything - but are delighted - that it now seems likely the building
:09:06. > :09:13.will remain open. Despite their success so far - they want even
:09:13. > :09:18.more from the church authorities. The main priority is to get the
:09:18. > :09:24.Bishop and the PCC to agree to Sunday worship here. Services are
:09:24. > :09:30.being held in the community centre while we have a songs of Praise on
:09:30. > :09:35.Sunday morning. We need Sunday worship back here. It is strong
:09:35. > :09:38.enough to take 24 a communion service. All Saints has been a
:09:38. > :09:41.place of worship since the late nineteenth century. These
:09:41. > :09:51.campaigners are determined that's a tradition that won't end in the era
:09:51. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :09:56.under their stewardship. The family of a twelve year old boy who died
:09:56. > :09:59.after being hit by falling goalposts say he was a 'lively,
:09:59. > :10:02.energetic lad full of fun'. 12- year-old Casey Breese was playing
:10:02. > :10:05.football with a group of boys at the recreation ground at Caersws,
:10:05. > :10:08.in Powys. He died in hospital last Friday. Hundreds of mourners have
:10:08. > :10:10.paid tribute to him. Mountain rescue teams can apply for �25,000
:10:10. > :10:13.extra funding from the UK government, the first time they
:10:13. > :10:21.have received direct funding with similar romance being made
:10:21. > :10:28.available over the next four years. It's part of a 200,000 pound amount
:10:28. > :10:30.set aside for a spending review until 2014. The exact source of an
:10:30. > :10:33.outbreak of Legionnaires' Disease in the South Wales Valleys last
:10:33. > :10:36.year might never be known. A report into the outbreak in which two
:10:36. > :10:41.people died has concluded that no single source accounted for cases
:10:41. > :10:44.in Merthyr Tydfil and the Cynon and Rhymney Valleys. But the chair of
:10:44. > :10:52.the investigation team says it may have been caused by "very unusual
:10:52. > :10:58.climatic conditions". Caroline Evans reports.
:10:58. > :11:03.Joan Evans counts herself lucky she survived. Two out of 22 affected
:11:03. > :11:06.did not. But she is disappointed the report she has waited months
:11:06. > :11:13.for brings her no closer to knowing how she caught Legionnaire's
:11:13. > :11:19.disease. Very disappointed because I would have liked to have known
:11:19. > :11:27.where I contacted it. There is nothing saying I cannot contacted
:11:28. > :11:34.again. I am saying no more than that. I am disappointed they have
:11:34. > :11:41.not come to see me to speak about it. Which, I think, in respect... I
:11:41. > :11:48.cannot understand it. It is 58 pages long. Legionnaire's disease
:11:48. > :11:52.is caused by bacteria in water. When people breed in droplets,
:11:52. > :11:58.bacteria makes its way to the lungs and more the prize. The disease
:11:58. > :12:02.kills between 10 and 15% of people who contract it. The outbreak
:12:02. > :12:07.lasted just over a month, for much of that time the main focus was
:12:07. > :12:14.here, on the communities on the heads of the Valley's road. More
:12:14. > :12:17.than 100 staff were involved in finding the source. But after an
:12:17. > :12:22.exhaustive investigation experts say it is impossible to pin down a
:12:22. > :12:28.single source. One theory now is the number of cases could have been
:12:28. > :12:31.pushed up by the climate in that part of South Wales. This kind
:12:31. > :12:36.micro-climate is speculation at the moment but there is some research
:12:36. > :12:40.coming out from Europe suggesting it may be more than speculation. We
:12:40. > :12:45.do get across Europe clusters of Legionnaire's disease, exactly like
:12:45. > :12:50.what happened here which has not been explained thus far. It is not
:12:50. > :12:54.unique, it can occur anywhere. Experts say the findings and the
:12:54. > :13:02.fact they have been unable to pinpoint the source should not be
:13:02. > :13:07.cause for alarm. For Joan Evans, it is a worry and today's report
:13:07. > :13:12.brings her a little reassurance. You are watching BBC Wales, much
:13:12. > :13:17.more to come, including Matthew Rees misses the Test against
:13:17. > :13:21.England, the latest from Wales' World Cup training camp. And,
:13:21. > :13:31.keeping a watch for the French and Spanish, the secrets of Henry
:13:31. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:37.Good evening from the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham. This part of
:13:37. > :13:41.the country can't cope with the number of new houses being built
:13:41. > :13:45.here. That is the warning from one of the organisers. The Assembly
:13:45. > :13:50.member for North Wales, Aled Roberts, says people moving into
:13:50. > :13:59.the area are putting a strain on our public services and could even
:13:59. > :14:04.undermine the Welsh language. This year's's Eisteddfod sits only
:14:04. > :14:08.a few miles from England. Goods and people have come and gone to places
:14:08. > :14:13.like Chester, Liverpool and the Wirral. But now there is a fear
:14:13. > :14:17.that the balance is not right, that too many homes are being built in
:14:17. > :14:21.north-east Wales to be bought by people from the north-west of
:14:21. > :14:26.England. The warning comes from the man who was until recently it
:14:26. > :14:29.leader of Wrexham council. He says it is the fault of the boss
:14:29. > :14:33.Government for developing a housing developing area consisting of
:14:33. > :14:37.north-east Wales and West Cheshire. We have not had a statement from
:14:37. > :14:42.the Government. Aled Roberts fears that new housing estates like this
:14:42. > :14:45.one on the outskirts of Wrexham could be used by those looking for
:14:45. > :14:49.homes from the other side of the border.
:14:49. > :14:54.We have to question whether our infrastructure can cope, schools
:14:54. > :14:59.and so on, which are not put fully into the planning process. Also
:14:59. > :15:03.with a lot of these new development there are questions around services
:15:03. > :15:09.within the areas. Groups have been campaigning for
:15:09. > :15:11.years against the proposals and, as a former leader of Wrexham council,
:15:11. > :15:14.they say that Aled Roberts could have done much more to stop the
:15:14. > :15:19.development. We believe he has made a big
:15:19. > :15:24.mistake and he has not realised how much of a mistake he has made.
:15:24. > :15:29.has been the effect on north-east Wales? We see the effect is already.
:15:29. > :15:32.If he had listened to us back in 2009 this might not have been the
:15:32. > :15:39.case. In a border town has or it --
:15:39. > :15:42.always played a big part of Wrexham's identity but the fear is
:15:42. > :15:46.that not meeting the housing demand from both sides of the Borderers
:15:46. > :15:49.putting a strain on public services. In the last half an hour boss
:15:49. > :15:53.Government has responded, saying that there are benefits of working
:15:53. > :16:01.together with neighbouring authorities in Wales or England to
:16:01. > :16:06.meet the housing needs in this area. Here at the National Eisteddfod
:16:06. > :16:11.there were 17,000 people, nearly 4,000 up on the same day last year.
:16:11. > :16:17.This is the first time that Wrexham has hosted the Eisteddfod since
:16:17. > :16:22.1977 and this year a special birthday - the National Eisteddfod
:16:22. > :16:26.is 150 years old. Tonight, a special concert to mark this
:16:26. > :16:30.anniversary. In a few moments Opal be backstage meeting some of the
:16:30. > :16:35.stars taking to the stage tonight. -- I will be backstage.
:16:35. > :16:39.Rugby, and we are days from the start of the summer Test. The final
:16:39. > :16:42.chance for the Wales squad to stake their claim for a place in the
:16:42. > :16:47.World Cup. The first of a double- header against England takes place
:16:47. > :16:54.at Twickenham on Saturday and Wales will be out Matthew Rees, who has a
:16:54. > :16:57.neck in this book -- injury. Even though Matthew Rees will miss
:16:57. > :17:07.out on the opportunity to captain Wales for a 9th time, the
:17:07. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:13.management are still hoping that he will get some game time in the
:17:13. > :17:17.August matches. His injury gives another chance to Sam Walderton,
:17:17. > :17:25.whose only experience of captaincy came in Wales's last game against
:17:25. > :17:31.the Barbarians two months ago. Last-gasp defeat still hurts.
:17:31. > :17:39.We just did not play the ball in the last minute. We did not keep it
:17:39. > :17:44.tight. It is a mistake I have learnt from. I was really
:17:44. > :17:48.disappointed in myself and I still feel bad about it. I want a better
:17:48. > :17:54.performance at the weekend. After two weeks of incredibly
:17:54. > :18:00.intense training in Poland, it is lit -- back to the usual pre-match
:18:00. > :18:08.routine. After the humbling experience four years ago, taking a
:18:08. > :18:13.weakened team and conceding 19 tries, Wales have learnt from it.
:18:13. > :18:17.The side four years ago was not good enough. I think the reality is
:18:17. > :18:21.we will have a pretty strong side on Saturday. I do not know if we
:18:21. > :18:26.will be at full strength but it will be pretty strong.
:18:26. > :18:32.It may have been a chance to relax in front of some home fans today,
:18:32. > :18:35.but come Saturday it will be very different, with the result
:18:35. > :18:38.paramount and confirmation today that it will be in front of a sell-
:18:38. > :18:46.out Twickenham crowd. Cricket, and Glamorgan have piled
:18:46. > :18:52.on the runs in the opening day of their match against Essex. By the
:18:52. > :18:57.close of play Glamorgan were 313-3. Officials from Glamorgan have been
:18:57. > :19:02.at Lord's today as part of their bid to stage an Ashes Test in 2013.
:19:02. > :19:06.The opening match of the 2009 series took place at the Swalec
:19:06. > :19:09.Stadium but Glamorgan were recently stripped of hosting England's Test
:19:09. > :19:14.against the West Indies next year after asking for more time to pay a
:19:14. > :19:19.fee for this year's Test against Sri Lanka.
:19:19. > :19:23.Archaeologists in Pembrokeshire have been excavating this building
:19:23. > :19:27.from the time of Henry VIII. Built 500 years ago, it is thought to
:19:27. > :19:34.have been part of an extensive network of sea defences when our
:19:34. > :19:36.relations with Spain and France were not so cordial as they are
:19:36. > :19:40.today. Today it is no more than a
:19:40. > :19:45.crumbling ruin on the edge of a windswept Cliffe but cast your mind
:19:45. > :19:49.back nearly 500 years and this was one of a number of small forts
:19:49. > :19:56.built by an increasingly paranoid Henry VIII, who was keen to shore
:19:56. > :20:00.up his coastal defences. It is the only one of its kind that
:20:00. > :20:05.has survived. They were built to look out for the French and even
:20:05. > :20:12.the Spanish, at a time when Henry VIII had just divorced Catherine of
:20:12. > :20:15.Aragon and was in a bit of a state of paranoia. He built these
:20:15. > :20:20.monuments as lookout posts more than anything, to be able to raise
:20:20. > :20:23.the alarm. It is alarm of a difference differ
:20:23. > :20:28.-- different kind facing the National Park Authority. They are
:20:28. > :20:34.worried about it Rousham, not invasion. In as little as two years
:20:34. > :20:39.they think the whole structure could tumble into the sea. But it
:20:39. > :20:43.seems anything of significance has already gone, consumed by the ocean.
:20:43. > :20:46.All that the team found were the remains of an old fireplace but
:20:46. > :20:52.they say the exercise was still worthwhile.
:20:52. > :20:56.At the idea of the excavation was just to work out the dimensions and
:20:56. > :21:02.surveyed the building while it was still relatively intact, if you can
:21:02. > :21:09.call it intact at -- intact! archaeology, if you find anything,
