:00:02. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story tonight: The Welsh Government
:00:07. > :00:10.has lost an important vote on its spending plans for next year. A
:00:10. > :00:17.vote so crucial, where every vote counts, that AMs came in off their
:00:17. > :00:21.sick beds and they listened to pretty damning criticism. Where is
:00:21. > :00:24.the sense of urgency? Does the government not realise that unless
:00:24. > :00:34.we do something quickly, a generation of young people will
:00:34. > :00:39.
:00:39. > :00:45.Our other headlines tonight: Michael Dye was killed before
:00:45. > :00:51.September's Wales game at Wembley. A man admits his manslaughter.
:00:52. > :00:55.Also tonight: A multi million pounds makeover for Rhyl's harbour.
:00:55. > :01:00.The cost seems to get ever higher but they have no choice but to
:01:00. > :01:03.drive. Rural motorists on the price of fuel.
:01:03. > :01:09.And the smoker fined �500 for dropping her cigarette butt outside
:01:09. > :01:19.her home. I'm not happy about it. I'm not. I'm not going to pay,
:01:19. > :01:20.
:01:20. > :01:23.because to me, I haven't done Good evening. Talks to find a
:01:23. > :01:27.resolution to the Welsh budget stalemate will intensify tonight
:01:27. > :01:30.after the Government lost a vote in the Assembly. Labour failed to gain
:01:30. > :01:33.the support of any one of the opposition parties to secure its
:01:33. > :01:36.spending plans for next year. Opposition leaders say they won't
:01:36. > :01:46.back the Government's plans without major changes. Our political editor,
:01:46. > :01:49.Betsan Powys, is at the Senedd. Thanks, Jamie. Well, the clock is
:01:49. > :01:54.now ticking. The talks Labour are already having with the opposition
:01:54. > :01:58.parties will truly have to get going. That's because the crunch
:01:58. > :02:01.vote on the draft budget comes on December 6th. That is when the
:02:01. > :02:03.Government cannot afford to do what they did this afternoon - fail to
:02:03. > :02:13.gain support for their spending plans. This report from Mark
:02:13. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:20.Hannaby. When the government lacks an
:02:20. > :02:24.overall majority, as this Welsh government does, other parties can
:02:24. > :02:27.band together using their every voter hamper its progress. Clwyd
:02:27. > :02:34.West Conservative Darren Millar is recovering from a broken ankle but
:02:34. > :02:39.he was not going to miss this debate. The opposition parties knew
:02:39. > :02:48.that by rounding up all their members they had the numbers to tie
:02:48. > :02:56.and in failing to carry its motion, the government would lose the vote.
:02:56. > :03:00.The motion is not agreed. debate's outcome before it started.
:03:00. > :03:04.The Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats had agreed an
:03:04. > :03:08.amendment opposing plans to spend �14.5 billion. They said the draft
:03:08. > :03:13.budget did not address pressures on schools and the NHS and did not
:03:13. > :03:17.tackle what they call the worsening the team -- economic crisis.
:03:17. > :03:22.believe the draft budget is not fit for purpose. It does not address
:03:22. > :03:27.the needs of the people of Wales. Last year, we highlighted the fact
:03:27. > :03:31.that the Budget did not do enough for the economy or education.
:03:31. > :03:35.also argued the draft budget did not provide for building roads,
:03:35. > :03:39.schools and hospitals. This government has done very little so
:03:39. > :03:43.far. Where is the sense of urgency? Does the government not realise
:03:43. > :03:49.that unless we do something quickly, a generation of young people will
:03:49. > :03:53.have been failed. The government argues its spending plans are
:03:53. > :03:57.responsible, given cutbacks in funds from Whitehall. Minister's
:03:57. > :04:01.question exactly where the other parties will have made their cuts.
:04:01. > :04:05.This is a credible budget by a responsible government and it
:04:05. > :04:13.reflects the priorities and issues that you have debated with us over
:04:13. > :04:19.the past few weeks. If this foot embarrasses the government, it is
:04:19. > :04:26.not a major setback. There is a lot of negotiating to be to -- to be
:04:26. > :04:29.done. Ministers are only need to do a deal with one or other party to
:04:29. > :04:36.clear the hurdle. Today's outcome should focus minds on the
:04:36. > :04:41.importance of making that happen. So how does the last government
:04:41. > :04:45.make things happen? The bottom line is that the Welsh block grant is
:04:45. > :04:50.the last block grant. You cannot conjure up any more money. Labour
:04:50. > :04:54.will have to talk and the government will have to shift some
:04:54. > :04:58.money towards manufacturing, capital spending which is what
:04:58. > :05:01.Plaid Cymru want in return for their votes. All they will have to
:05:01. > :05:05.rejig the education budget, making sure that the poorer schools in
:05:05. > :05:10.Wales get more money which would gain support from the Liberal
:05:10. > :05:14.Democrats. Both options mean a little less money or a lot less
:05:14. > :05:24.money for something else. The opposition parties have been Corry
:05:24. > :05:28.
:05:28. > :05:38.in telling us where that money would come from. -- coy. The final
:05:38. > :05:38.
:05:38. > :05:41.budget has to be laid on November 29th which is just a fortnight away.
:05:41. > :05:46.No surprises then that the government is saying tonight that
:05:46. > :05:48.is a long way to go but they are focused on getting an agreement.
:05:48. > :05:52.Father of three Michael Dye was killed before Wales' Euro 2012
:05:52. > :05:54.qualifier at Wembley in September. Today, a 41-year-old man admitted
:05:54. > :06:04.his manslaughter. Ian Mytton from Redditch entered his plea via video
:06:04. > :06:07.link from jail. Sian Lloyd reports. In September, flowers and tributes
:06:07. > :06:10.were laid outside the grounds of Cardiff City Stadium to the
:06:10. > :06:18.lifelong Bluebirds and Wales fan who was killed in Wembley outside
:06:18. > :06:21.the home of English football. The 44-year-old had travelled to London
:06:21. > :06:30.to watch Wales play in the Euro 2012 qualifier, but police were
:06:30. > :06:34.called just before kick off. The father of three died from head
:06:35. > :06:37.injuries shortly after being taken to hospital. Following his death,
:06:37. > :06:45.police appealed for information and released this CCTV picture of Gate
:06:45. > :06:48.C of Wembley Stadium. They wanted fans in the picture to get in touch.
:06:48. > :06:57.Michael Dye was a popular Cardiff City fan, who wrote about his team
:06:57. > :07:07.on the Cardiff City Forum. Players and supporters remembered Mikey, as
:07:07. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:16.he was known to many, before the match against Doncaster. He is a
:07:16. > :07:26.big loss. He was a great family man and lived life to the full. It

:07:32. > :07:35.page set up in his memory. Ian Mytton from Reddich in the West
:07:35. > :07:38.Midlands didn't travel to the Old Bailey today, but pleaded guilty to
:07:38. > :07:40.manslaughter by video link from jail. He will be sentenced there on
:07:40. > :07:42.the 21st of December. Denbighshire County Council has
:07:42. > :07:45.agreed to give an extra half a million pounds towards redeveloping
:07:45. > :07:48.Rhyl's harbour. The �10 million project to create a footbridge and
:07:48. > :07:51.public square is already the biggest of its kind in the county.
:07:51. > :07:54.More from Matthew Richards. This is a part of Rhyl which has
:07:54. > :07:57.been the focus of redevelopment plans for a number of years. The
:07:57. > :08:00.demolition of the funfair should have led to new shops and homes but
:08:00. > :08:03.that fell through. While major work continues to strengthen the sea
:08:03. > :08:06.defences, plans are on show for a �9 million refit for the Foryd
:08:06. > :08:09.Harbour. A new footbridge is designed to carry pedestrians and
:08:09. > :08:17.cyclists between the counties of Conwy and Denbighshire. But it will
:08:17. > :08:21.cost more than originally planned. It has happened because we did not
:08:21. > :08:31.put in enough contingency at the beginning of the project. It is
:08:31. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:35.also a complex project. It is important that we get it right.
:08:35. > :08:38.Dave Clayton moors his boat at Foryd Harbour. He's largely in
:08:38. > :08:41.favour of the proposed changes. But he's worried that the bridge, which
:08:41. > :08:47.would rise up to allow boats through the channel, could pose
:08:47. > :08:54.problems. Originally, there were serious concerns that if the bridge
:08:54. > :09:00.did not open for whatever reason, it would be a serious -- it would
:09:00. > :09:04.risk damage to boats and loss of life. As her -- that has been
:09:04. > :09:09.remedied by the haven which has added cost to the project but it
:09:09. > :09:12.has made it acceptable to the uses of the harbour. Those supporting
:09:12. > :09:19.the project believe it will boost visitor numbers and encourage more
:09:19. > :09:29.people to use their bikes to make short trips around Rhyl. It is
:09:29. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:34.important to spend this kind of money on this kind of project.
:09:34. > :09:38.radical transformation could be just 16 months away and people from
:09:38. > :09:44.different backgrounds in real say the investment is worth making
:09:44. > :09:47.because it will pay off in the long run. -- Rhyl.
:09:47. > :09:51.Three fire crews are currently tackling a large mountain fire near
:09:51. > :09:54.Caernarfon tonight. Around 18 firefighters are at the village of
:09:54. > :09:57.Carmel. The fire is reported to have spread across four acres. No
:09:57. > :10:02.homes have been evacuated. We'll bring you more on this as we have
:10:02. > :10:06.Parents are being urged to vaccinate their children against
:10:06. > :10:09.whooping cough after a spike in the number of cases. So far this year,
:10:09. > :10:12.there have been 37 confirmed cases, more than double than last year.
:10:12. > :10:20.The illness, also known as pertussis, causes severe coughing
:10:20. > :10:26.fits and can be particularly serious for young babies. Because
:10:26. > :10:34.the numbers are going up, it's important that parents make sure
:10:34. > :10:40.there children are immunised at the right time. The pre-school vaccine
:10:40. > :10:43.is important as well. The rising cost of fuel has made it
:10:43. > :10:46.to Parliament today. MPs in Westminster are debating a motion
:10:46. > :10:48.calling on the UK Government to freeze a three pence hike at the
:10:48. > :10:52.pumps in January. Many in Wales say they're disproportionately feeling
:10:52. > :10:58.the pain because they live in rural areas and have no choice but to
:10:58. > :11:01.drive. Abigail Neal spent the day in Tregaron, gauging opinion.
:11:01. > :11:08.It's mart day. Farmers queue round the block to bring their animals,
:11:08. > :11:11.every one by car. Michael Phillips works three farms near Abersytwyth.
:11:11. > :11:21.It costs him �20 more a week to drive between them this year than
:11:21. > :11:26.it did last. And he'd like the politicians to ease the pain.
:11:26. > :11:31.don't think they do enough for people living the country. There
:11:31. > :11:36.are more costs than people in towns and it is surprising how would
:11:36. > :11:39.Manser up with the price of fuel going up all the time. Because of
:11:39. > :11:43.greater distances and less public transport in rural areas, people
:11:43. > :11:50.rely on their cars more and when the fill-up at the pump, they face
:11:50. > :11:57.higher prices. We try and make 4p a litre. We put 4p on the price but
:11:57. > :12:00.the supermarkets, we can't compete. Tregaron high street is typical.
:12:00. > :12:03.One look and you can't miss our reliance on the motor. There is a
:12:03. > :12:12.bus every two hours here, but even those who don't drive aren't
:12:12. > :12:18.gloating. It still affects me because as soon as fuel goes up,
:12:18. > :12:22.the cost of living goes up and everything else. Richard Morris was
:12:22. > :12:31.the only person I met who wasn't worried. He drives a small, fuel
:12:31. > :12:36.efficient car and thinks more people should do the same. It is
:12:36. > :12:42.not impacting on the much. It goes up a few pence but that is because
:12:42. > :12:48.I have a card that has 100 to the gallon. If my carded 32 per gallon,
:12:48. > :12:51.it would be a crisis. -- car. in areas like this would like to
:12:51. > :12:55.see special rural fuel relief to try and balance the burden they
:12:55. > :12:57.face, but that's not on the cards. The most they can hope for is a
:12:57. > :13:00.freeze. Still to come on Wales Today:

:13:23. > :13:26.until her last breath to stay in her home in Aberystwyth despite
:13:26. > :13:29.developers wanting to buy her property to make way for a new
:13:29. > :13:35.Tesco. For 56-year-old Enid Jones says she
:13:35. > :13:39.has nothing against the supermarket but her property is not for sale.
:13:39. > :13:44.This is the centre of any Jones's life. She deliberately chose to
:13:44. > :13:49.live in the middle of Aberystwyth. -- Enid Jones. It is my home, it is
:13:49. > :13:52.not a house to me, it is my home, and I have settled down here in the
:13:52. > :13:57.last seven years and they don't want to leave. But her home is now
:13:57. > :14:01.under threat. After a bidding process, Ceredigion Council have
:14:01. > :14:06.selected a developer to build a car park and more shops, including a
:14:06. > :14:10.new Tesco on land they owned behind Glyndwr Road. The problem is
:14:10. > :14:13.according to the plans, the road is in the way and will have to be
:14:13. > :14:18.demolished. Nine of the 12 homeowners in the street have
:14:18. > :14:22.already agreed to sell up, but three have refused. The developers
:14:22. > :14:27.say their scheme to bring a Tesco to Aberystwyth will require the
:14:27. > :14:34.demolition of Glyndwr Road. wouldn't envisage that Glyndwr Road
:14:34. > :14:38.will survive. We have been selected for a particular project which
:14:38. > :14:43.includes 12 houses on Glyndwr Road. Enid has nothing against Tesco and
:14:43. > :14:47.wouldn't mind if the new shop was built right up to her garden wall.
:14:47. > :14:50.For 40 years, supermarkets have gradually changed the face of our
:14:51. > :14:55.towns and cities. This is Tesco's latest and biggest store in Wales
:14:55. > :14:59.which opened last month in Newport, a week after the new Morrisons half
:14:59. > :15:04.a mile away. There are now 168 stores in Wales
:15:04. > :15:09.operated by the big four. It is often alleged supermarkets damage
:15:09. > :15:12.town centres by drawing trade away. Research carried out by 17
:15:12. > :15:17.University found that putting a supermarket near a town centre can
:15:17. > :15:21.actually bring trade back by increasing ft 4, but the
:15:21. > :15:25.implications of this, that out-of- town supermarkets can have negative
:15:25. > :15:29.effects. -- ft fall. Enid is not interested in the arguments. She
:15:29. > :15:32.just wants to know whether her house will be demolished. If they
:15:32. > :15:36.feel as if I had no breath left in my body because it is my home and I
:15:36. > :15:41.paid for it and I want to live there, and I do not want to move.
:15:41. > :15:43.will fight every step of the way. The developer and the council point
:15:43. > :15:48.out there will be public consultation on the proposals. Enid
:15:48. > :15:52.hopes the scheme can be amended. Let's talk to Chris Sutton, a
:15:52. > :15:56.director of property consultants Jones Lang LaSalle, who has sold
:15:56. > :16:01.sites to supermarkets including Asda and Tesco. Why should anyone
:16:01. > :16:06.like Enid be forced out of their home just for a supermarket? It is
:16:06. > :16:11.a special case, I think, in terms of the CPO process there, and she
:16:11. > :16:15.will have rights under that. But I think there is a wider perspective
:16:15. > :16:20.here in terms of regeneration of town centres. You need significant
:16:20. > :16:25.funding for that process, and actually you need land value. Land
:16:25. > :16:30.value comes predominantly from residential or retail. So it is OK
:16:30. > :16:33.just turf out people who live there. I didn't say that. You need to look
:16:33. > :16:38.at this in the round. People vote with their feet, their purses and
:16:38. > :16:42.wallets. Superstores are very popular locations for us. It is a
:16:42. > :16:46.case of the planning system creating a framework where we put
:16:46. > :16:49.them where we want them to be. I think maybe one of the issues is
:16:49. > :16:53.that the current system is not responding how it should be at the
:16:54. > :16:57.moment. Many local development plans are not up to date. If we
:16:57. > :17:01.tell the superstore operators where to go, we have a chance of going
:17:02. > :17:05.forward. Judging by the research, we should be set -- telling
:17:06. > :17:09.supermarkets not to go to out-of- town areas because that will kill
:17:09. > :17:13.off our town centres. That sounds like the message. Actually, you
:17:13. > :17:17.have brought forward an example there of a town centre scheme. That
:17:17. > :17:21.is not an out-of-town one. If this -- this was on a roundabout out of
:17:21. > :17:25.town we would not see houses coming into the framework. So there
:17:25. > :17:28.actually is a balance here and we are all agreed that we want a
:17:28. > :17:33.complementary system whereby the food store works with the retailers
:17:33. > :17:37.in the town system -- Centre, but there also needs to be a balance
:17:37. > :17:42.here were that land is available. You hear about plenty of opposition
:17:42. > :17:46.to supermarkets offer. Why does it markets always seem to win? It is a
:17:46. > :17:50.very popular and strong concept. As they say, it is down to the public
:17:50. > :17:54.voting with their feet, purses and wallets. This is what we want, we
:17:54. > :17:59.want value, convenience and a significant range, and it is a case
:17:59. > :18:04.of, as I say, the planning system find in a complementary mix. Chris

:20:29. > :20:34.have an optimistic view of this. We could eradicate the disease

:20:37. > :20:41.destroying the insulating -- insulin making cells of the
:20:41. > :20:45.pancreas. It is mostly diagnosed before the age of 40 with around
:20:45. > :20:48.half patients diagnosed in childhood. Patients have to inject
:20:48. > :20:53.themselves with insolent for the rest of their lives and there is no
:20:53. > :20:56.cure. -- insulin. The grouping Cardiff is looking at preventing
:20:56. > :21:00.type 1 diabetes patients from worsening. Cells and the punch

:21:07. > :21:11.shown in the past that drugs that suppress the immune system have
:21:11. > :21:14.slowed down the rate of damage to consider making cells, so what the
:21:14. > :21:18.group at Cardiff has done is taking a small part of the insulin
:21:18. > :21:20.producing cells and injected the mid- to patients. It is hoped the
:21:20. > :21:24.immune system can be re-educated immune system can be re-educated
:21:24. > :21:27.and the injection effectively becomes a diabetes vaccine. That
:21:27. > :21:31.could mean that you might still need the occasional insulin
:21:31. > :21:35.injection, maybe once a day, but your sugar levels would be much
:21:35. > :21:39.better. There is another aspect which is that if it was very safe,
:21:39. > :21:43.we could give it to people before they develop diabetes and prevent
:21:43. > :21:48.it ever happening. The researchers are also interested in what makes
:21:48. > :21:53.the immune system attacks. We also do a lot of work in the laboratory
:21:53. > :21:55.to try to find out what it is in relation to the genetics
:21:55. > :22:01.interacting with the environment that makes the immune system
:22:01. > :22:05.attacks the pancreas. We want to study a wider cells do what they do
:22:05. > :22:11.when they go to the pancreas, and also, in very basic immune terms,
:22:11. > :22:15.how we can turn those off. The hope is that if their word goes well --
:22:15. > :22:18.workers were the future, insulin Nikkei share -- cells was destroyed
:22:18. > :22:22.could be regenerated and other types of cells could be changed
:22:22. > :22:27.into producing insulin. That is what this research group at Bangor
:22:27. > :22:32.University want to do as well. They are looking at a gene which is
:22:32. > :22:37.similar to another gene with a brought him insolent producing
:22:37. > :22:41.cells in humans. When humans have mutations in this gene, they get
:22:41. > :22:45.diabetes or they don't form pancreas at all. But some animals
:22:45. > :22:49.are able to do this in the absence of this team. So we are interested
:22:49. > :22:53.in how they are doing that. doctor hopes his work could
:22:53. > :22:57.identify new genetic parkways -- pathways for the production of
:22:57. > :23:02.insolent cells. Humans have one way of doing things, but in diabetics
:23:02. > :23:08.it goes the other way. -- insulin cells. We need to find other ways
:23:08. > :23:11.to manipulate or take advantage, to make pancreas cells that could be

:23:21. > :23:24.on but researchers at an early stage and it could be 10 years or
:23:24. > :23:28.more before the research has completed. We cannot do any of this
:23:28. > :23:32.without the patients taking part, and we know when you're newly
:23:32. > :23:35.diagnosed with page -- type one died be -- diabetes it is a shock,
:23:35. > :23:40.but we want to say there is hope and if people take part in studies
:23:40. > :23:43.we would have new treatments. Professor Dayan ending that report.
:23:43. > :23:47.Tomorrow night Nick will speak to Craig Dee from Pontypridd who has
:23:47. > :23:52.had a pancreas transplant because of diabetes, and also to scientists

:25:32. > :25:35.What have you got for as for Friday There is a change on the way,
:25:35. > :25:39.hopefully Friday will be dry and quite mild as well with southerly
:25:39. > :25:42.winds, good news for fund-raising. Sunshine today for the Bangor
:25:42. > :25:46.Bethesda Ramblers but it hasn't been sunny everywhere. Tonight
:25:46. > :25:50.generally dry with clear skies but cloud will become more widespread
:25:50. > :25:53.later on. A chilly night with temperatures in parts of the north-
:25:53. > :25:58.west falling as low as two or three Celsius with a touch of ground
:25:58. > :26:01.frost. Tomorrow morning a grey and cloudy start for most of the
:26:01. > :26:05.country, feeling quite chilly as well, some hill fog, even the odd
:26:05. > :26:11.spot of drizzle, otherwise dry, and as we move into the north-west it
:26:11. > :26:14.should be quite bright, hopefully some sunshine in North Wales with
:26:14. > :26:18.temperatures starting at six Celsius. The best of the sunshine
:26:18. > :26:21.tomorrow will be in the north-west of the country, Gwynedd, Conwy and
:26:21. > :26:24.Anglesey. Elsewhere generally cloudy and we will find rain
:26:24. > :26:29.spreading out from the south-west during the afternoon. Top
:26:29. > :26:33.temperatures between 9 and 13 Celsius and a south-easterly breeze.
:26:33. > :26:38.On the north coast tomorrow, dry, a little sunshine, temperatures
:26:38. > :26:42.should rise to 11 in North Wales. Tomorrow night it looks like we
:26:42. > :26:46.will all see rain, heavy for a time, but this will clear, then Thursday
:26:46. > :26:51.doesn't look too bad. Dry and bright with sunshine and quite mild,
:26:51. > :26:55.13 Celsius in Swansea, 55 Fahrenheit. Friday looks set to
:26:55. > :26:59.bring plenty more dry weather to us, breezy and mild, 14 Celsius with
:26:59. > :27:04.the wind blowing to the south. The mild weather looks set to continue
:27:04. > :27:08.out over the weekend with sunshine on offer on Saturday. Last year you
:27:08. > :27:11.may remember we had an icy blast in the last week of November, but
:27:11. > :27:18.there is no sign of a repeat performance this year, well not yet
:27:18. > :27:21.The headlines again, the Welsh Government has failed to gain the
:27:21. > :27:24.support of any opposition parties to security spending plans for next
