Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: Patients' frozen sperm

:00:07.:00:17.
:00:17.:00:27.

samples accidentally destroyed. Our other headlines tonight: Could

:00:27.:00:33.

St Athan land BA's new maintenance depot, just as the RAF departs?

:00:33.:00:36.

900 miles of track, and 200 stations. All change on our

:00:36.:00:42.

railways. Our disappearing coastline. Why

:00:42.:00:47.

flooding and coastal erosion need a national response.

:00:47.:00:51.

And, after speculation of a move to England, Shaun Edwards commits to

:00:51.:01:00.

Wales for the next four years. I think we have a team of back-up

:01:00.:01:04.

coaching staff, and with these extraordinary players, we are so

:01:04.:01:11.

excited, Wales can feel pretty good about itself at the moment. Good

:01:11.:01:15.

evening. An NHS fertility clinic has been accused of a series of

:01:15.:01:17.

failures, after frozen donor samples were mistakenly destroyed,

:01:17.:01:21.

and others were used without proper screening. The head of IVF Wales in

:01:21.:01:23.

Cardiff resigned earlier this year, but concerns remain over staffing

:01:24.:01:27.

levels, and a drop in success rate at the clinic. More from our health

:01:27.:01:34.

correspondent, Hywel Griffith. It's a place which has brought hope

:01:34.:01:37.

to thousands of couples. But IVF Wales' reputation has been

:01:37.:01:40.

shattered by an inspection report detailing basic mistakes which

:01:40.:01:47.

break the strict guidelines on fertility treatment. In one

:01:47.:01:50.

incident, sperm samples were found unlabelled at the bottom of a

:01:50.:01:55.

container flask, and destroyed without a witness. Managers say the

:01:55.:01:58.

three patients involved have other samples, but they've not been

:01:58.:02:03.

informed. In a second incident, the report describes how sperm samples

:02:03.:02:08.

were released for use early without proper screening tests.

:02:08.:02:12.

Disciplinary action and resignations followed. But tonight,

:02:12.:02:21.

there's a call for more answers. Bearing in mind the litany of

:02:21.:02:24.

failures from this report, bearing in mind the head of the unit has

:02:24.:02:29.

resigned, the head of Embryology has resigned, two people have been

:02:29.:02:35.

suspended, the dotty has come in and severely restricted the

:02:35.:02:40.

capacity -- d o Authority has cumin and severely restricted the

:02:40.:02:46.

capacity of IBF Wales to offer infertility services. That includes

:02:46.:02:49.

whether or not the Welsh Government was told of the problems. They've

:02:49.:02:55.

said they want NHS management to take urgent action.

:02:55.:03:01.

I believe we have strengthened our arrangements, such that we are, now

:03:01.:03:07.

performing a safe service. I think we have improved our service, and

:03:07.:03:12.

think there were always things to learn. Our licence was not taken

:03:12.:03:16.

away but we have been instructed we could do better. I believe we are

:03:16.:03:21.

now doing better and we are doing things safely to ensure that

:03:21.:03:24.

patients get the best possible service. Despite the assurances,

:03:24.:03:27.

tonight there are calls for an inquiry into mistakes at IVF Wales,

:03:27.:03:30.

and whether more could have been done to prevent them.

:03:30.:03:33.

This is a centre with a great reputation. Has that now been

:03:34.:03:41.

tarnished? They have had problems before, well-publicised, but

:03:41.:03:45.

nothing on this scale because nothing had previously led to the

:03:45.:03:48.

head of centre resigning, and disciplinary action against staff.

:03:48.:03:54.

Also, they have had to drastically change the number of patients they

:03:54.:03:59.

are treating, cutting back. Instead of 12 cycles a week, now they can

:03:59.:04:04.

only do six. They are not taking on any new private patients and

:04:04.:04:09.

limited the number of NHS patients. Equally worrying, when you look at

:04:09.:04:15.

this report, not just those incidences, but concerns about the

:04:15.:04:19.

drop in the success rate, and the staffing levels. What's the

:04:19.:04:28.

political fall out? We have heard for Racal for an inquiry into these

:04:28.:04:33.

blunders to be investigated fully, not just the mistakes, but who knew.

:04:33.:04:38.

We will wait to see what the Health Minister does about that.

:04:38.:04:41.

anyone watching who might be undergoing IVF, what should they

:04:41.:04:48.

take from this? It is important to stress the majority of treatments

:04:48.:04:54.

take place safely, and in this case, the centre says it has responded to

:04:54.:04:58.

concerns. Anyone treated at this clinic who feels they may have been

:04:58.:05:03.

affected is advised to contact them to get more advice.

:05:03.:05:06.

A 50-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of

:05:06.:05:10.

his wife seven years ago. John Clifton Davies, from Milton Keynes,

:05:10.:05:13.

has also been charged with fraud. Colette Davies, from Bridgend, fell

:05:13.:05:17.

80 feet near a river bridge while on honeymoon in the north of India

:05:17.:05:27.
:05:27.:05:29.

in 2004. The Welsh government has revealed

:05:29.:05:33.

in expectancy expects to spend three but �4 billion put in

:05:33.:05:37.

students through university over the next six years. That includes

:05:37.:05:42.

�1 billion for the tuition fee Grant. Opposition parties have

:05:42.:05:45.

raised questions about whether it is affordable and the government

:05:45.:05:51.

has admitted those figures could change. The figure that we will

:05:51.:05:55.

eventually end up paying will depend on the number of Welsh

:05:55.:06:05.
:06:05.:06:06.

students who applied to go to university. It is a very difficult

:06:06.:06:10.

figure to estimate. We are committed to funding this policy

:06:10.:06:14.

for the lifetime of this Assembly. A 47-year-old man has died while

:06:14.:06:17.

walking on Cader Idris in Gwynedd at the weekend. Christopher Currie,

:06:18.:06:21.

from Southampton, is thought to have fallen around 400 feet. He was

:06:21.:06:24.

reported missing on Saturday. His body was found the next day, after

:06:24.:06:29.

an all-night search by mountain rescue teams.

:06:29.:06:31.

British Airways is considering expanding its maintenance operation

:06:31.:06:37.

in Wales. St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan is one of a number of

:06:37.:06:41.

options the airline is looking at, as it prepares to cope with more

:06:41.:06:50.

work next year. British Airways already has a big

:06:50.:06:54.

presence in Wales. It employs more than 1000 people at its maintenance

:06:54.:06:58.

base at Cardiff Airport. Due to wear heavy workload, it needs more

:06:58.:07:03.

capacity and it says one possible location is St Athan, the military

:07:04.:07:10.

base four miles away. It would be a boost to St Athan, thousands of RAF

:07:10.:07:16.

engineers used to work here. Now much of this site lies empty.

:07:16.:07:21.

see British Airways landing here would be a magnet to draw other

:07:21.:07:26.

companies who would want to know, what a British Airways doing here?

:07:26.:07:31.

Maybe we could get an interiors contract and build the site up back

:07:31.:07:36.

to the numbers it was in its heyday. No final decision has been taken by

:07:36.:07:40.

British Airways but there are obvious attractions. St Athan has a

:07:40.:07:46.

long runway and an existing pool of aircraft engineers in the area. We

:07:46.:07:49.

understand negotiations are at a critical stage but behind the

:07:49.:07:53.

scenes, there will be high hopes for British Airways to have a

:07:53.:07:58.

presence here. The Welsh government has made St Athan one of its new

:07:58.:08:03.

enterprise zones with a specific intention to attract investment

:08:03.:08:08.

into radiation. In recent years, much has been promised at St Athan,

:08:08.:08:13.

first came the ambitious red dragon Super Hannah. His fate was sealed

:08:13.:08:20.

when the MoD transferred the work done by St Athan to another base.

:08:20.:08:25.

The Hana still lies empty. Then came the drawn up plans to build a

:08:25.:08:30.

military training academy which was scrapped last year. These

:08:30.:08:33.

aeroplanes are the last of the RAF aircraft to be repaired here. In

:08:34.:08:39.

February, all that work will go. British Airways would offer a new

:08:39.:08:44.

direction. There are opportunities coming forward and I think being so

:08:44.:08:48.

close to St Athan puts them in a strong place. Let's not run before

:08:48.:08:53.

we can walk, let us ensure we have our feet on the ground and we are

:08:53.:08:58.

keeping this well within manageable opportunities. The future is not

:08:58.:09:02.

clear for St Athan but this development would mean jobs are

:09:02.:09:06.

generated and aircraft continue to fly in and out of this famous old

:09:06.:09:10.

RAF base. How's this for a huge train set?

:09:10.:09:18.

200 stations, 900 miles of track, and a budget of �200 million. The

:09:18.:09:22.

railways of Wales used to be run by Network Rail from England. Tonight,

:09:22.:09:26.

it's all change. The service is to be devolved and run from Wales. The

:09:26.:09:35.

new man at the top is Mark Langman. Good evening. What difference will

:09:35.:09:42.

I notice as a passenger? It is worth putting this into context,

:09:42.:09:47.

this is the first time in 100 and ended five years of railway history

:09:47.:09:53.

that the railway in Wales has actually been controlled from here

:09:53.:09:59.

in Wales and decisions will be made from here in Wales. There is a lot

:09:59.:10:04.

going on it the moment. We have spent �200 million a year just on

:10:04.:10:09.

maintaining and operating and renewing the railway. What is

:10:09.:10:13.

happening is the amount of money we are investing to improve capacity.

:10:13.:10:18.

One scheme we are launching is a �200 billion additional spend to

:10:18.:10:21.

upgrade railways around Cardiff. Given that funding for railways

:10:21.:10:29.

isn't devolved, what impact in reality will this have?

:10:29.:10:34.

What is being devolved is the Budget to me in Wales. For the

:10:34.:10:39.

first time rather than people in Swindon or London or Manchester,

:10:39.:10:44.

those decisions will be made here and I have the budget. What are

:10:44.:10:50.

your priorities? Growing the railway, I want to talk to

:10:50.:10:54.

stakeholders, work closely with customers and train operators, and

:10:54.:10:59.

the Welsh government, to look for more opportunities because I

:10:59.:11:04.

believe this is part of a vibrant economy for Wales. Passenger

:11:04.:11:08.

numbers are increasing, realistically, can you grow that

:11:08.:11:14.

any more? The you are right, we have seen more passengers

:11:14.:11:18.

travelling that at any other time in railway history. The scheme I

:11:19.:11:22.

have talked about is an example where we are growing too fast D,

:11:22.:11:27.

where we can move more passengers and freight through Cardiff by

:11:27.:11:32.

building new platforms and improving signals. How will we know

:11:32.:11:37.

if you have been a success, how should we measure it? What I would

:11:37.:11:43.

like to see his a wise decision around how we fund and what we

:11:43.:11:47.

spend our money on. That should enable us to be more efficient by

:11:47.:11:52.

working closely with our customers and the Welsh government, and to

:11:52.:11:57.

invest money and save money for the taxpayer. Much more to come before

:11:57.:12:00.

7pm. All of tonight's sport, including Wales' defence coach

:12:00.:12:04.

Shaun Edwards signs up until the next World Cup.

:12:04.:12:08.

And we're at Erddig Hall near Wrexham, as one of the National

:12:08.:12:17.

Trust's finest country houses gets Floods, coastal erosion. The

:12:17.:12:20.

country is under attack throughout the year. Now the Welsh Government

:12:20.:12:23.

says it wants those threats managed better by the agencies involved. A

:12:24.:12:28.

national all-Wales strategy has been drawn up for the first time.

:12:28.:12:36.

Here's Roger Pinney. This time nature was kind but it

:12:37.:12:41.

was closed. No one was hurt when this cliff collapsed a couple of

:12:41.:12:49.

weeks ago. We cannot always rely on Lady Luck. In the teeth of a gale,

:12:49.:12:53.

high tide here came just before lunch time. This is how we reported

:12:53.:13:00.

the coastal flooding which hit last year. And the damage caused.

:13:00.:13:05.

couldn't get through the garden. I came down half-an-hour later. There

:13:05.:13:11.

was no warning. It was gone like that, everything is gone. Here,

:13:11.:13:16.

flooding events are mercifully rare, but if climate change predictions

:13:16.:13:20.

are accurate and sea levels rise, they may become more frequent.

:13:20.:13:27.

Already in Wales, one in six properties is at risk from flooding.

:13:27.:13:31.

Coastal protection work under way near Aberystwyth, a good place to

:13:31.:13:35.

launch the new strategy. Investment will be directed towards areas most

:13:35.:13:39.

at risk. There is a message while some money is available for

:13:39.:13:43.

infrastructure, agencies and councils do need to come together

:13:43.:13:49.

to manage the risk. It is never going to be enough, to build all of

:13:49.:13:53.

the Defence's right around Wales. That would really be necessary. It

:13:53.:13:57.

is very much about being smarter and more intelligent in our

:13:57.:14:01.

approach and working with communities, and businesses. Back

:14:01.:14:07.

here, they are our message. Small scale construction work is on hand

:14:07.:14:13.

to contain floodwaters. Some have started putting up planks of wood

:14:13.:14:16.

against the gateposts to stop the water coming into the gardens.

:14:17.:14:22.

Other changes have already happened. Robert Williams is one of the local

:14:22.:14:26.

flood wardens appointed in the last year to write a link between

:14:26.:14:32.

residents and authorities. A Yaya Toure -- two way flow of

:14:32.:14:38.

information. The plan is we can cause an it better and make plans

:14:38.:14:42.

and I think it will happen. This time with better co-ordination of

:14:42.:14:49.

all concerned, the council, of residents, we can prevent any

:14:49.:14:54.

damage to properties. It is all about recognising the risks and

:14:54.:15:03.

planning for it. Nature can be the New legislation is needed to force

:15:04.:15:10.

public authorities to investigate cases of elder abuse. Age Cymru say

:15:10.:15:13.

around 39,000 older people have suffered some form of abuse in

:15:13.:15:16.

their home. The boss government says it is committed to protecting

:15:16.:15:21.

older people. We are concerned that particularly

:15:21.:15:25.

at a time of financial pressers, we know some cases will drop off the

:15:26.:15:29.

radar and will not be investigated quickly -- pressures. That is

:15:29.:15:34.

dangerous because people might do to you on -- suffer ongoing abuse.

:15:34.:15:38.

We want to make it clear and to make people batterer involved in

:15:38.:15:41.

adult protection, to give them stronger powers to make other

:15:41.:15:44.

people sit around the table, investigate the case and put in a

:15:44.:15:47.

suitable course of action to stop abuse happening.

:15:47.:15:50.

The Welsh Government must make major changes to its draft budget

:15:50.:15:55.

if it is to win support from any of the opposition parties, that is the

:15:55.:15:58.

warning tonight from party leaders ahead of tomorrow's big vote on

:15:58.:16:03.

spending plans. However the finance minister Jane Hutt says she is hope

:16:03.:16:12.

for the stalemate can be solved. Betsan Powys. Remind us what is

:16:12.:16:15.

happening tomorrow. Tomorrow, Assembly Members will be

:16:15.:16:18.

here discussing the Government's spending plans and boating on the

:16:18.:16:23.

draft budget, a first step vote, if you like -- voting. Remember Carwyn

:16:23.:16:27.

Jones doesn't have a majority so if everybody turns up tomorrow and

:16:27.:16:31.

presses the right buttons in the chamber there will be stalemate.

:16:31.:16:36.

The government motion will fall. What happens then? Tops -- talks

:16:36.:16:40.

described as ongoing will surely get going I suppose. The opposition

:16:40.:16:44.

parties were here today all saying, look, minor changes would do it,

:16:44.:16:49.

that won't gain our support, -- won't do it. One put it as they

:16:49.:16:54.

have to have radical surgery before they will support it. The

:16:54.:16:56.

government suggests they are not clear what the opposition parties

:16:57.:17:01.

want. Plaid Cymru are saying they have sent a letter to the First

:17:01.:17:05.

Minister's of the spelling out what they want. Whatever happens

:17:05.:17:08.

tomorrow the government are emphasising talks are ongoing and

:17:08.:17:13.

no panic button is being pushed jet. Carwyn Jones is spelling out his

:17:13.:17:17.

views on further devolution tonight yes.

:17:17.:17:20.

He is given a speech in Aberystwyth and looking to the future, if you

:17:20.:17:25.

like -- giving a speech. What would happen if Scotland votes for

:17:25.:17:28.

independence and takes full responsibility for its finances? He

:17:28.:17:32.

says then Wales's constitutional relationships with the UK would

:17:32.:17:36.

require radical reconsideration, that word again. Perhaps a more

:17:36.:17:40.

generous transfer of legislative powers. He we have a Labour First

:17:40.:17:43.

Minister saying that if the Scottish First Minister changes the

:17:43.:17:48.

rules of the game, he would regard that as a game changer or in Wales

:17:48.:17:51.

as well. We will talk tomorrow night. Thank

:17:51.:17:56.

you. Now with news of the sport, here is Ashleigh Crowter.

:17:56.:18:00.

Good evening. There are reasons to be cheerful for Welsh rugby fans

:18:00.:18:04.

tonight. Shaun Edwards will sign a new contract tomorrow to workers

:18:04.:18:09.

depends coach for the national team until the next World Cup. There had

:18:09.:18:13.

been competition for his services - - defence coach. The four Welsh

:18:13.:18:18.

regions all won in Europe, for the first time in five years.

:18:18.:18:21.

He has been a key man behind the scenes for Wales helping them to

:18:21.:18:24.

4th place in the recent Rugby World Cup, and now Shaun Edwards has

:18:24.:18:29.

recommitted himself to the cause until 2015. His commitments with

:18:29.:18:32.

the Welsh Rugby Union will grow, and he will work with the National

:18:32.:18:36.

Academy and age grade teams but also maintain involvement with an

:18:36.:18:40.

English Premiership club, possibly Leicester, away from the

:18:40.:18:43.

international games. His decision means Warren Gatland will have one

:18:43.:18:47.

of his chief lieutenants in place as the side try to build on their

:18:47.:18:56.

performances in New Zealand. It is an exciting passage -- package.

:18:56.:19:01.

Strategically for us, he is working with a national academy, and the

:19:01.:19:05.

Twenties, and 18 sunder the sixteens as we prepare for the next

:19:05.:19:08.

Rugby World Cup. The was a sweetness about the

:19:08.:19:11.

results in the first weekend of the Heineken Cup as well, three wins

:19:12.:19:15.

against French sides helping to brought -- blow away the Rugby

:19:15.:19:19.

World Cup hangover. The Blues started on Friday night with an

:19:19.:19:24.

excellent 26-20 victory in Paris, when Alex Cuthbert with a crucial

:19:24.:19:28.

try that secured a rare away win on French soil. The Ospreys and

:19:28.:19:32.

Scarlets followed that up on Saturday, Tommy Bowe scoring the

:19:32.:19:38.

Ospreys's only tide against Biarritz at the Liberty Stadium. A

:19:38.:19:43.

perfect kicking performance helped them to an opening weekend win 28-

:19:43.:19:46.

21. But the most eye-catching performance came from the Scarlets,

:19:46.:19:50.

who scored three tries, including this length-of-the-field effort

:19:50.:19:57.

from No. 8 Ben Morgan, to win 31-23. It is all about winning, and

:19:57.:20:01.

winning your first game, OK, the Scarlets and the Ospreys had to win

:20:01.:20:05.

because they were home games, the Blues game away was fantastic, and

:20:05.:20:10.

the dragon's, going into the end zone but getting a good result.

:20:10.:20:16.

They secured a bonus point scoring five tries in a 33-3 win against

:20:16.:20:20.

Italian club Cavalieri plateau in the Amlin Cup, wrapping up perfect

:20:20.:20:24.

weekend for the Welsh regions. Let's move on to football and Wales

:20:25.:20:28.

manager Gary Speed Saiz his side's rapid improvement has exceeded all

:20:28.:20:31.

his expectations. He is now turning his attention to next week's World

:20:31.:20:38.

Cup fixture meeting, happy in the knowledge his team started off 2011

:20:38.:20:43.

with another win. It is now three in a row. The manager will now

:20:43.:20:47.

focus on the logistics of the Campaign for Brazil 2014 and he is

:20:47.:20:51.

receiving plenty of praise for the turnaround in his side's fortunes.

:20:51.:20:55.

Gary has looked at his players and their strengths, and then put the

:20:56.:21:00.

style and pattern in place, and the system they would buy into. That is

:21:00.:21:04.

the situation at the moment. In the past, we were always known as a

:21:05.:21:07.

Olympic Games. The 22 year old flyweight from barley came through

a box off at the British Amateur Championships at the weekend --

Thank you. How do you empty bedroom full of priceless 18th century

furniture to give a facelift to the room? The answer, carefully. That's

what experts are doing at the National Trust's Erddig Hall in

Wrexham as they replace the grass - - glass walls which have kept the

State Bedroom protected since the 1970s. Before the new walls are

fitted, the furniture is being lovingly restored.

You cannot help holding your breath. These can suck -- conservators are

moving fragile furniture which hasn't been accessible for about 40

in a glass box present -- preventing visitors from altering

twenties. It is very colourful and would have been spectacular when it

was new. The three-metre high glass panels

experts are taking the opportunity to restore cabinet side mirrors.

Reproduction wallpaper will also be added to the ceiling as well as the

lighting all around. The new glass box ways more than a ton and
