:00:19. > :00:22.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: An investigation is
:00:22. > :00:24.underway following the death of a man, who it's thought became
:00:24. > :00:28.trapped by a metal gate while making a delivery.
:00:28. > :00:30.Also in the programme this evening: The leader and his deputy are among
:00:30. > :00:36.three councillors being investigated for their conduct at
:00:36. > :00:39.Swansea Council. We've been on the train to London.
:00:39. > :00:44.With electrification on the cards, is a billion pounds to save 17
:00:44. > :00:47.minutes value for money? In tonight's sport: It's over 40
:00:47. > :00:55.years since they last did it. Cardiff City reach the quarter
:00:55. > :01:04.finals of the League Cup. We're looking for unsung sporting
:01:04. > :01:09.heroes like Lisa. We catch up with last year's winner.
:01:09. > :01:12.And the Nutcracker like you've never seen it before. We go behind
:01:12. > :01:22.the scenes with the Welsh company making sets for productions around
:01:22. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:27.Good evening. A 42-year-old man has died after making an early morning
:01:27. > :01:30.delivery to a wholesalers in Newport. It's thought the man, who
:01:30. > :01:33.hasn't been named, became trapped under a heavy metal gate at the
:01:33. > :01:36.back of the premises, which are on Agincourt Street in the Crindau
:01:36. > :01:43.area of the city. Police and the Health and Safety Executive are
:01:43. > :01:46.investigating. Nicola Smith reports. At just after 5:00am this morning,
:01:46. > :01:49.emergency services were called to this gateway just off a quiet
:01:49. > :01:56.terraced street in Newport. This lorry had been making a delivery to
:01:56. > :01:59.Blakemore Wholesalers. The trade entrance is through this metal gate.
:01:59. > :02:02.Hours later, the gate was on the floor. Specialist officers were
:02:02. > :02:07.checking the gate posts and the surrounding area for clues to
:02:07. > :02:11.explain how the man died. At this stage, police will only say that
:02:11. > :02:15.his death "involved the movement of heavy gates". Sid Cloud lives just
:02:15. > :02:18.a few hundred yards from where it happened. He told me that the
:02:18. > :02:28.street is always busy with early morning deliveries, but that today
:02:28. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:39.was very different. They start coming in at around about 6:00am in
:02:39. > :02:41.
:02:41. > :02:51.the morning. Sometimes its earlier. I got up at my normal time and it
:02:51. > :02:55.seemed to be -- this seems to be more activity going on. I saw the
:02:55. > :02:59.police and there were three fire engines over there. There were also
:02:59. > :03:02.ambulances as well. The man who died was 42-years-old and came from
:03:02. > :03:04.the Merthyr Tydfil area. His family are now being supported by
:03:04. > :03:07.specially trained police officers. In a statement, Blakemore
:03:07. > :03:13.Wholesalers say they are "assisting in the investigation" and pass
:03:13. > :03:15.their condolences to his family. The Health and Safety Executive, as
:03:15. > :03:19.well as Newport Council's health and safety department, are
:03:19. > :03:21.investigating. A gynaecologist who worked in
:03:21. > :03:23.hospitals across South Wales has been suspended for 12 months. Dr
:03:23. > :03:26.Priyantha Perera Kandanearachchi has been suspended with immediate
:03:26. > :03:34.effect for inappropriate sexual behaviour towards a patient and a
:03:34. > :03:37.colleague. People suffering major injuries in
:03:37. > :03:40.parts of Mid Wales will be treated closer to home. The Royal
:03:40. > :03:42.Shrewsbury Hospital is introducing a new trauma unit. At the moment,
:03:42. > :03:50.people living in north Powys have to travel to Stoke-on-Trent or
:03:50. > :03:52.Birmingham for treatment. That can mean over an hour's drive.
:03:52. > :03:55.Welsh businesses who export to Europe are watching today's summit
:03:55. > :03:58.in Brussels closely. Thousands of jobs here rely on exports and
:03:58. > :04:04.there's concern that if the Euro crisis worsens, companies here
:04:04. > :04:06.could be badly affected. I'm joined now by Russell Lawson, from the
:04:06. > :04:16.Wales International Business Council. Let's put this into
:04:16. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:22.context. How serious is the Euro crisis for Welsh businesses? It is
:04:22. > :04:28.very serious. We do rely an awful lot on exporting and manufacturing
:04:28. > :04:32.exporter and. In Wales, the average GDP we rely on for manufacturing is
:04:33. > :04:40.24 % whereas in the rest of the UK it's only about 11 %. If we are
:04:40. > :04:45.going to be hit with a whole market and we are not able to export, it
:04:45. > :04:51.will hit Wales significantly harder than everywhere else in the UK.
:04:51. > :04:56.it going to affect jobs? There will be lost orders for companies and
:04:56. > :05:02.strict orders. They will have to look at the bottom line costs which
:05:02. > :05:09.may lead to redundancies and as a knock-on impact, that has an effect
:05:09. > :05:14.on the economy. What can be done to help businesses through this
:05:14. > :05:18.difficult period? We have been asking for a lot more support,
:05:18. > :05:24.especially for exporting businesses. We want to see the government put
:05:24. > :05:32.more money in and help and advice to get businesses to look at their
:05:32. > :05:35.goods and services to see if they are exportable. We also want more
:05:35. > :05:39.help to export to the growing market. The euro-zone is an
:05:39. > :05:44.important area but it could be affected so we need to looking --
:05:44. > :05:52.start looking at areas which are starting to grow like Brazil, India
:05:52. > :05:58.and Vietnam. But money is tight as we know. How likely is it that the
:05:58. > :06:03.government will put some money in? We are talking about small amounts
:06:03. > :06:06.of money which can have greater benefits at the bottom end.
:06:06. > :06:08.Teachers and lecturers from Wales have been in Westminster today to
:06:08. > :06:11.lobby Parliament against pension cuts. They were part of a joint
:06:11. > :06:14.campaign organised by seven education unions. They say the cuts
:06:14. > :06:24.being imposed to their pensions are too severe. The UK Government says
:06:24. > :06:32.changes are needed to ensure pensions remain sustainable. There
:06:32. > :06:35.is plenty of money in the pensions fund. Just have a rethink on the
:06:35. > :06:39.extra contributions they expect us to pay towards the pensions because
:06:39. > :06:44.they are sustainable at the moment. They have to make cuts and I
:06:44. > :06:49.understand that. But they need to do a proper review of our pension
:06:49. > :06:52.scheme. If that proves we need to pay more, that will be one thing,
:06:52. > :06:55.but they need to produce that review.
:06:55. > :06:58.A company which is taking over a third of the residential homes
:06:58. > :07:01.formerly owned by Southern Cross says it will start running 17 homes
:07:01. > :07:04.in South Wales from next month. HC- One says it's now ready to complete
:07:04. > :07:08.the transfer of the homes. The company stepped in after Southern
:07:08. > :07:10.Cross got into financial difficulties.
:07:10. > :07:15.It'll mean faster, greener and more efficient trains but
:07:15. > :07:18.electrification will come at a cost of over one billion pounds. It's
:07:18. > :07:21.still over five years away but today a service ran from Cardiff to
:07:21. > :07:24.London to demonstrate just how quick they'll be. It'll mean a
:07:24. > :07:34.saving of 17 minutes off your journey but with such a large price
:07:34. > :07:34.
:07:34. > :07:39.tag, is it really worth it? Matt Murray was on board.
:07:39. > :07:42.Electric trains are the future of rail travel in the UK but today a
:07:42. > :07:46.journey to demonstrate just how fast they will be was almost like
:07:46. > :07:50.stepping back in time. With a three-course meal, business leaders
:07:50. > :07:54.and politicians were here to taste not just the lamb but also high-
:07:54. > :08:01.speed rail travel. No stops were made today to match the speed
:08:01. > :08:06.electric trains will travel at and it will mean a journey time of 1
:08:06. > :08:10.hour and 43 minutes but it will cost �1 billion. This journey
:08:10. > :08:19.between the soup -- Capital cities is an indication that Wales is very
:08:19. > :08:24.well connected. Do you really think that 17 minutes is going to make
:08:24. > :08:28.that much difference? I think good infrastructure is always going to
:08:28. > :08:33.make a difference to people doing business. People may not realise
:08:33. > :08:36.just how close Wales is. It business leaders and rail experts
:08:36. > :08:41.on board believe it will go a long way to improving business links
:08:41. > :08:48.between Wales and London. When you keep adding it up, what it means is
:08:48. > :08:52.not just 17 minutes one way, it is 34 minutes in two directions. That
:08:52. > :08:55.takes half-an-hour of the travel time between South Wales and London.
:08:55. > :09:00.That is the kind of saving we are looking for because that is the
:09:00. > :09:04.kind of saving that will encourage inward investors to look at Wales.
:09:04. > :09:09.But the line will only be electrified as far as Cardiff, a
:09:09. > :09:12.concern for commuters like this lady who works in Swansea. Her head
:09:12. > :09:18.offices in London and she thinks she will fail to see any real
:09:18. > :09:21.benefit. The electrification of the line is until Cardiff so it won't
:09:21. > :09:30.make much difference because I still have to travel between
:09:30. > :09:35.the amount of time that will be shaved off the time of the journey.
:09:35. > :09:39.A lot of the trains are already quite unreliable. Litigation is not
:09:40. > :09:44.just about speeding up the service, it is also about making a -- making
:09:44. > :09:47.it greener. These old diesel engines will be replaced and
:09:47. > :09:53.instead there will be carriages her that will mean that more passengers
:09:54. > :09:59.will be able to get on board, close to 20 % more. Today's train journey
:09:59. > :10:03.from Cardiff to London was one of the fastest in over 20 years. It is
:10:03. > :10:07.hoped that a letter vacation will make this a regular thing --
:10:07. > :10:10.electrification. Still to come tonight: Football
:10:11. > :10:13.coach Lisa Jones was our Unsung Sporting Hero last year. Who will
:10:13. > :10:16.you nominate to be this year's winner?
:10:16. > :10:26.And I'm at a new company which makes sets for opera, ballet and
:10:26. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:31.The two most senior councillors in Swansea are under investigation by
:10:31. > :10:34.the Public Services Ombudsman. The leader, Chris Holley, and his
:10:34. > :10:36.deputy, John Hague, are facing questions about their conduct. A
:10:36. > :10:46.complaint against a third councillor is also being
:10:46. > :10:49.
:10:49. > :10:53.investigated. Carl Roberts reports. A clear view over Swansea this
:10:53. > :10:58.morning and tonight, BBC Wales can reveal that the public services on
:10:58. > :11:02.his own -- Ombudsman is looking into the conduct of the leader of
:11:02. > :11:09.Swansea Council and is the pity. The complaint made about -- against
:11:09. > :11:11.Chris Holley and his deputy John Hague and the Conservative council
:11:11. > :11:14.-- and a Conservative councillor is being investigated. The
:11:14. > :11:20.investigation is believed to refer to alleged discussions between the
:11:20. > :11:24.leader and deputy leader and some opposition councillors about
:11:24. > :11:28.Conservative support for the councils up rolling Lib-Dem
:11:28. > :11:34.administration. In any male seen by BBC Wales, the deputy leader of
:11:34. > :11:38.Swansea council confirms that he met with Councillor to discuss
:11:39. > :11:42.possible projects. One of those projects included building a new
:11:42. > :11:48.path where an old one had become overgrown. The man who says his
:11:48. > :11:52.initial complaints sparked the investigation wants answers.
:11:52. > :11:56.think this is a very serious breach of the code of conduct and it could
:11:56. > :12:01.always be a breach of the law in that there are lots of safeguards
:12:01. > :12:04.about the spending of public money. All three councillors and Swansea
:12:04. > :12:09.council declined to be individual and said they could not comment
:12:09. > :12:12.because of the ongoing investigation.
:12:12. > :12:15.Tonight marks the deadline for people bidding to buy a grade two
:12:15. > :12:18.listed brewery chimney in the centre of Wrexham. Bids have
:12:18. > :12:22.already reached �900 on the auction website eBay. The town's former MP
:12:22. > :12:29.and Assembly Member, Dr John Marek, who put it up for sale, says the
:12:29. > :12:32.money raised will go to charity. Yesterday, we reported on calls for
:12:32. > :12:36.a law forcing councils to provide public toilets after many have been
:12:36. > :12:39.closed in cost-cutting drives. Well, Wales Today viewer Dave Robinson
:12:39. > :12:42.from Llandrillo in Denbighshire got in touch to tell us how he and his
:12:42. > :12:49.neighbours re-opened their local lavatories and maintain them as a
:12:49. > :12:53.community. Here in Llandrillo, they're proud
:12:53. > :12:56.of their loos. They were closed by Denbighshire Council in 1998 and
:12:56. > :12:58.the building eventually deteriorated. But after a long
:12:58. > :13:07.running campaign and careful negotiations, new toilets were
:13:07. > :13:14.officially opened in 2005. From a tourist point of view, if you don't
:13:14. > :13:18.get people to enjoy their stay, they do not come back. Only last
:13:18. > :13:24.week, I had an e-mail from a couple in West Sussex who said what a
:13:24. > :13:27.fantastic facility you've got. We will definitely come back again.
:13:27. > :13:30.rota has been drawn up so that each week, different villagers take
:13:30. > :13:33.responsibility for opening and closing the lavatories as well as
:13:33. > :13:36.keeping them clean. It doesn't come cheap. The running costs are around
:13:36. > :13:38.�1,300 a year but a �2 tax per household raises �900 and
:13:38. > :13:48.Denbighshire Council contributes �500, making an annual total of
:13:48. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:56.�1,400. Many of the visitors have done more than spend a penny here.
:13:56. > :13:59.In the last year, ramblers have given donations worth more than
:13:59. > :14:02.�100 towards the upkeep of the tireless. It is really nice if
:14:02. > :14:07.there is a public toilet there because you can go before you set
:14:07. > :14:15.off on the walk. Most of our members are all the people so it's
:14:15. > :14:20.more important for us to be relaxed before we start. Of course, it is
:14:20. > :14:23.frustrating if we find a place which is there but is padlocked up.
:14:23. > :14:26.The lack of public toilets across Wales means plenty of people are
:14:26. > :14:28.getting caught short, but this is one of the places where villagers
:14:28. > :14:35.have stood firm, much to everyone's relief.
:14:35. > :14:37.The day's sports news now. Here's The day's sports news now. Here's
:14:37. > :14:40.Claire. Cardiff City are through to the
:14:40. > :14:43.quarter finals of the Carling Cup. Their 1-0 win over Burnley sees the
:14:43. > :14:46.Bluebirds into the last eight of the competition for the first time
:14:46. > :14:50.in 46 years. Sachin Krishnan reports.
:14:50. > :14:54.While their league form has been a bit up-and-down this season,
:14:54. > :14:59.Cardiff have shown great resilience during their car in Cup run until
:14:59. > :15:04.last night's meeting with Burnley. Their previous matches had all been
:15:04. > :15:08.won in extra time or on penalties. Early on, Joe Mason came close to
:15:08. > :15:12.opening the scoring, grazing the post when clean through. But his
:15:12. > :15:17.moment was to come. Both sides created good chances in the first
:15:17. > :15:21.half. Both goalkeepers being brought into action. With half-time
:15:21. > :15:31.approaching, Joe Mason showed composure on the edge of the box to
:15:31. > :15:32.
:15:32. > :15:37.The second half again saw chances go begging. The best for Cardiff
:15:37. > :15:42.captain Mark Hudson who headed over from six yards out. I think whoever
:15:42. > :15:47.was going to score first was probably going to win the game.
:15:47. > :15:54.Since coming here are my main objective was to win a place in the
:15:54. > :16:00.starting team. His gain intelligence belies his age. Again,
:16:00. > :16:10.tonight, his movement was fantastic. He has good players around him who
:16:10. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:19.are helping him. I thought he led It was in the 1965-S66 season that
:16:19. > :16:23.Cardiff last reached the last eight of the League Cup. They eventually
:16:23. > :16:27.lost in the semi-finals to West Ham who at the time featured the likes
:16:27. > :16:37.of Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst just months before they won the World
:16:37. > :16:37.
:16:37. > :16:41.The likes of Manchester United and Arsenal are already in the quarter-
:16:41. > :16:44.finals with Cardiff. The draw takes place on Saturday.
:16:44. > :16:48.The hunt is on to find this year's BBC Wales Unsung Sporting Hero. The
:16:48. > :16:51.award was won last year by football coach Lisa Jones who trains girls
:16:51. > :16:54.and boys at Penydarren Club in Merthyr. Well, with the closing
:16:54. > :17:04.date for this year's entries fast approaching, we've been back to see
:17:04. > :17:06.
:17:06. > :17:12.what life is like for Lisa almost Let's make some space and make the
:17:12. > :17:16.passing much easier. Lisa Jones is a lady in demand. Apart from her
:17:16. > :17:20.day job as a sports development officer, she coaches as a volunteer
:17:20. > :17:23.three football team's five nights a week. This single mum of three
:17:23. > :17:28.pours her energy into helping develop youngsters and it is that
:17:28. > :17:33.selfless devotion that saw her win that and some Hero award last year.
:17:33. > :17:38.I said I would love to rewind it back just for one moment to
:17:39. > :17:46.remember what it was like. I was so mixed with emotions, I don't know
:17:46. > :17:50.how I felt. I felt overwhelmed, I was happy, I wanted to cry. My
:17:50. > :17:56.mother was sitting there. She was absolutely sobbing. She was
:17:56. > :18:01.overwhelmed. It was a tremendous thing to win and I wish anybody
:18:01. > :18:05.looked to win it this year because it is an amazing feeling. For the
:18:05. > :18:10.club in a Merthyr, the recognition Lisa has achieved has also brought
:18:10. > :18:15.huge benefits. She was absolutely chest and I think it is recognition
:18:15. > :18:20.of what she has done and is a good advertisement for our club. A big
:18:20. > :18:24.club with around 250 playing members, it is nice for people to
:18:24. > :18:30.know that we exist. I think we are getting well known throughout the
:18:30. > :18:34.principality now. One very proud member is at least a's son, Jordan.
:18:34. > :18:38.She has been brilliant with the children. When she came in and said
:18:38. > :18:42.she had won the award, I was very shocked and very pleased that she
:18:42. > :18:48.had won because she is a fabulous coach and she is the best in the
:18:48. > :18:53.club. Lisa is the pinnacle of what the award is all about. She goes
:18:53. > :19:02.out of her way to help others in Sport and expects nothing in return.
:19:02. > :19:08.12 months on, it is still nice to be recognised. You can imagine what
:19:08. > :19:12.it was like for months a. Even people now recognise me. Now we are
:19:13. > :19:16.looking for this year's winner. Maybe there is someone you feel
:19:16. > :19:19.deserves recognition to. So is there someone you know who
:19:19. > :19:23.deserves to be recognised? Someone who goes out of their way to help
:19:23. > :19:25.others in sport? The person has to be 16-years-old or over and not get
:19:25. > :19:30.any financial reward for their efforts. Nominations close soon on
:19:30. > :19:33.October 30th. You'll find all the details on these websites.
:19:33. > :19:36.Well, from sport to the arts, and a new company in Cardiff is making
:19:36. > :19:39.stage sets for opera, ballet and musical theatre companies around
:19:39. > :19:43.the world. Yes, it started trading just four
:19:43. > :19:45.months ago and employs 40 people. It's currently refurbishing the set
