:00:05. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to the programme. Here are the headlines: An
:00:11. > :00:16.employment here has raised its highest level in nearly 20 years.
:00:16. > :00:21.New dad Michael Hill has not had a full-time job since leaving college.
:00:21. > :00:31.I miss having something to do. I do not wake up and say, I have to go
:00:31. > :00:42.
:00:42. > :00:46.Also tonight: after admitting inciting violent disorder on
:00:46. > :00:52.Facebook during the riots in England, Amman are sentenced to
:00:52. > :00:58.four years in prison. By a Dragon's Den star is embroiled
:00:58. > :01:02.in a row with a cancer survivor over her gym membership.
:01:02. > :01:08.I am a very disappointing that at man of his standing could behave in
:01:08. > :01:13.such a vindictive and petty way. The ground-breaking medical
:01:13. > :01:18.technology that is helping diabetes sufferers live with their condition.
:01:18. > :01:26.And the National Trust needs is its �1 million target two by a snowed
:01:26. > :01:31.only a farm. Unemployment in Wales has risen to
:01:31. > :01:38.its highest level in nearly 20 years. From the three months to the
:01:38. > :01:47.end of September it stood at 137,000, the rise of a 14,000 on
:01:47. > :01:51.the quarter. The unemployment rate is at 9.3%, 1% above the UK figure.
:01:51. > :01:56.20-year-old Michael Hill has not had a permanent job since leaving
:01:56. > :02:01.college two years ago. More than one-fifth of people his age who are
:02:01. > :02:08.looking for work are currently unemployed. Michael has a story
:02:08. > :02:14.that is becoming more common. Every time you see a job advertised,
:02:14. > :02:19.and go to ask, you think, I have a chance. Then you get an interview,
:02:19. > :02:24.and you think, great. But then you get the rejection letter and you
:02:24. > :02:31.get the rejection letter and you think, great, back to the start.
:02:31. > :02:36.The unemployment rate in Wales, at 9.3%, is higher than the UK average.
:02:36. > :02:41.But areas like the North East of England are faring worse.
:02:41. > :02:45.Jobseeker's here told us what it is like trying to find work.
:02:45. > :02:49.We are doing training courses and things like that and there is still
:02:49. > :02:55.nothing. If you are older, and you do not
:02:55. > :03:03.have much experience, they would much rather the younger kids, and
:03:03. > :03:09.pay the minimum wage, where they could not get away with it with me.
:03:09. > :03:14.I have to earn a living, and there are no jobs open here.
:03:14. > :03:18.Where are the job losses coming from? There has been a dip in
:03:18. > :03:24.confidence in the private sector. Company insolvencies are still
:03:24. > :03:30.lower than many expected, but there are still problems for some. Take
:03:30. > :03:36.this hotel, which was owned by Lord Ashley's family, and has gone into
:03:36. > :03:40.administration. This five-star hotel in Pembrokeshire has also
:03:40. > :03:45.gone into administration. Both are still open as normal but the owner
:03:45. > :03:49.of this one said the value of the property had plummeted, and as a
:03:49. > :03:55.result further support from the bank was not available to him.
:03:55. > :04:01.You have to look at the economic situation at the moment. The value
:04:01. > :04:05.of buildings generally is very depressed as a result. Obviously,
:04:05. > :04:10.the banks are in a position where they collateral does not
:04:10. > :04:16.necessarily match up to what they expected, some years ago. That is
:04:16. > :04:20.putting a terrible onus on everybody.
:04:20. > :04:27.It is tough but there are opportunities. These two men are
:04:27. > :04:31.among those who have turned things around.
:04:31. > :04:36.This man was made redundant 1.5 years ago from a printing business.
:04:37. > :04:44.He had always been a part-time karate instructor, but now he has
:04:45. > :04:50.made his hobby at full-time business.
:04:50. > :04:58.The bottom line is, when there is nothing else to do, you have to
:04:58. > :05:02.take another step forward. It is more important now than ever.
:05:02. > :05:10.This 21-year-old was without a job and Tom Willis for many years
:05:10. > :05:15.before he launched his own T-shirt business in Swansea. -- homeless.
:05:15. > :05:19.I have a lot of ideas for some Christmas things, and it is a good
:05:19. > :05:23.start, I think. Positive for some but overall,
:05:23. > :05:28.these figures are nothing but negative and they will pile the
:05:28. > :05:32.pressure on to politicians to focus more on the economy.
:05:32. > :05:36.Should readers -- should we be surprised by these figures?
:05:36. > :05:42.They have taken a lot of people by surprise, the speed with which they
:05:42. > :05:47.are happening. At the height of the recession, we saw figures like this.
:05:47. > :05:52.And it can be quite erratic. We are not seeing the big factory closures
:05:53. > :05:58.that we saw back in 2008. I have been speaking to some accountants
:05:58. > :06:03.in Wales and there has clearly been at depot in confidence. The
:06:03. > :06:07.Institute of Directors today said that companies are firing and not
:06:07. > :06:11.hiring. It is obvious that the private sector is not recruiting in
:06:11. > :06:15.the way that people would have hoped and when combined with what
:06:15. > :06:22.we are seeing in the public sector, and the job less -- job losses
:06:22. > :06:27.there, it is no surprise. What can be done?
:06:27. > :06:32.The biggest announcement today was from the Welsh government, making
:06:32. > :06:37.funds available for loans and grants for companies. That will go
:06:37. > :06:42.down well with business groups. It is old fashioned business support
:06:42. > :06:47.that they will like. But Wales is not isolated from the other
:06:47. > :06:53.problems. Manufacturers in the past year have benefited from exporting
:06:53. > :06:56.goods to be eurozone. The crisis there could damage that. It is all
:06:56. > :07:02.about business confidence and we are tied to the rest of the world.
:07:02. > :07:07.Thank you very much. A 25-year-old man from Cardiff has been sentenced
:07:07. > :07:11.to four years in prison after pleading guilty to inciting
:07:11. > :07:17.violence on Facebook during the riots in England earlier this year.
:07:17. > :07:24.The judge says the sentence should act as a warning to others.
:07:24. > :07:29.What exactly did he do? 25-year-old trainee Council set up
:07:29. > :07:34.a Facebook page in the midst of the rub -- the worst riots in England
:07:34. > :07:39.for more than a generation. Millions of pounds of damage was
:07:39. > :07:44.caused and hundreds of people were arrested. The violence which began
:07:44. > :07:52.in London spread to Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool.
:07:52. > :07:57.Much of the violence was orchestrated on Facebook. Jamie
:07:57. > :08:02.Counsel's website advocated riots in Cardiff. His followers talked
:08:02. > :08:06.about targets, including a department store and an electrical
:08:06. > :08:11.store. Four years is a long sentence.
:08:12. > :08:20.Should we be surprised by that? Four years for setting up a fierce
:08:20. > :08:25.book page -- a Facebook page is a lot. But remember the context.
:08:25. > :08:28.People were dying, millions of pounds of damage was caused. The
:08:28. > :08:34.government at Westminster wanted to send a strong message that this
:08:34. > :08:40.will not be tolerated. Other people convicted of round England have had
:08:40. > :08:44.the same type of prison sentences. Four years is a long sentence but
:08:44. > :08:49.as the judge said, it will act as a strong message to anyone else
:08:49. > :08:54.thinking of trying to incite this type of disorder.
:08:54. > :08:59.Aberystwyth is to get a �2.5 million facelift. The Welsh
:08:59. > :09:05.government money will be spent on improving access to the town's bus
:09:05. > :09:10.and train stations. Work will begin next week. The Government has
:09:10. > :09:13.identified Aberystwyth as one of seven so-called regeneration areas
:09:14. > :09:19.throughout Wales. Three people have been jailed after
:09:19. > :09:28.a plot to stage a sham marriage in Cardiff. Asif Hussain was arrested
:09:28. > :09:33.at Cardiff registrar's office as he was about to marry Valerie Farkas.
:09:33. > :09:36.The woman acting as their interpreter was also jailed for six
:09:36. > :09:41.months. Teachers are not able to do their
:09:41. > :09:47.jobs properly due to political interference from the it --
:09:47. > :09:57.education minister. That is the warning from Wales'' biggest
:09:57. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:04.teachers' union. To much fanfare, the foundation
:10:04. > :10:08.face was set up by the last Welsh government in 2008. It is a new
:10:08. > :10:14.teaching method where young children learn through play. The
:10:14. > :10:19.aim is to transform education here. Three years on, a new element has
:10:19. > :10:25.been introduced. Every child entering primary school are asked a
:10:25. > :10:30.series of questions. Can they stand on one light for two second? The
:10:30. > :10:35.assessment has been strongly criticised.
:10:35. > :10:40.This woman is our member of the NUT executive and claims that teachers
:10:40. > :10:43.at her school had been unable to teach for several weeks due to be
:10:43. > :10:46.added workload of carrying out these assessments and writing
:10:46. > :10:51.reports. They cannot give proper interaction
:10:51. > :10:56.with the children, because they have to set one to one and go
:10:56. > :11:02.through some tick boxes on their very first weekend schools. We have
:11:02. > :11:07.concerns the teacher is not teaching and they are just
:11:07. > :11:12.assessing the child. The rest of the class is being taken on by
:11:12. > :11:16.classroom assistants. The Welsh government has noticed --
:11:16. > :11:21.noted the concerns of the NUT. It also said it would be reviewing the
:11:21. > :11:27.way assessments have worked so far. It also added they have received a
:11:27. > :11:31.positive feedback from teachers and head teachers. Another teaching
:11:31. > :11:39.union has criticised the assessment as a cumbersome recording process
:11:39. > :11:43.which does not fit with the curriculum. The government insists
:11:43. > :11:47.it was not be introduced without consultation.
:11:47. > :11:52.Howard diabetes patients in need of a transplant are being helped with
:11:52. > :11:57.the latest medical technology. And conservation work can now begin.

:12:08. > :12:13.A woman recovering from cancer says she is shocked after being banned
:12:13. > :12:18.from her local health club which is owned by Duncan Bannatyne. Bronwen
:12:18. > :12:23.Davies took the club to court after they refused to reimburse some gym
:12:23. > :12:28.membership paid while she was ill. She won her case but then received
:12:28. > :12:33.a letter saying she was not welcome. Recovering from the cancer that
:12:33. > :12:38.almost killed her, Bronwen Davies would like nothing more than to go
:12:38. > :12:47.for a swim at her local health club. She had been a member since 2004
:12:47. > :12:55.but after a dispute over �160, she has been told she cannot.
:12:55. > :13:00.I was a member of that club for many years and I am now deprived of
:13:00. > :13:06.that membership. I feel I am being punished for having been held, and
:13:06. > :13:12.for having tried to exercise my legal rights.
:13:12. > :13:16.She took the club, which is owned by Duncan Bannatyne, to court and
:13:16. > :13:26.won. When she wrote to him asking if she could rejoin, she got this
:13:26. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:45.I am really disappointed that a man of his standing, and a club, a
:13:45. > :13:51.national club, can be paid in such a vindictive and petty way.
:13:51. > :13:56.Today, Duncan Bannatyne hit back on Twitter. Among his responses to
:13:56. > :14:02.follow words, he says, the woman is a persistent liar. We banned her
:14:02. > :14:06.for being disruptive to other members. What can I do?
:14:06. > :14:16.A spokesman for the company said that what he says on Twitter is up
:14:16. > :14:33.
:14:33. > :14:39.Bronwen Davies says she has never been disruptive and she finds these
:14:39. > :14:46.Commons disgusting. She would still like to swim there twice a week to
:14:46. > :14:49.help her recover her strength. Scientists working on research into
:14:49. > :14:53.Type 1 Diabetes hope to have a commercially viable artificial
:14:53. > :15:03.pancreas within a decade. It is hoped the automated insulin pump
:15:03. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:10.will help prevent the devastating, -- complications of the disease.
:15:10. > :15:16.Craig Dee has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for decades. He was
:15:16. > :15:20.first diagnosed at the age of 21. It has given her numerous health
:15:21. > :15:25.problems from his eyes to his feet. He has had a new kidney and a
:15:25. > :15:33.pancreas transplant. The biggest problem at the moment are my feet.
:15:33. > :15:38.I hate to think I might lose a limb, but it is a possibility. The
:15:38. > :15:47.pancreas, I had it for about 10 months although I did not depend on
:15:47. > :15:54.insulin, I was still dependent on tablets, it never kept me supported.
:15:54. > :15:59.It broke down completely and I was back on insulin. The computer does
:15:59. > :16:04.a similar thing to the body. There is new hope for people like to lead
:16:04. > :16:08.with scientists on the way to developing an artificial pancreas.
:16:08. > :16:13.This doctor became interested in diabetes research when he worked in
:16:13. > :16:16.Cardiff. Now he is based at the Addenbrokes Hospital in Cambridge
:16:16. > :16:23.and his work on an artificial pancreas has reached an advanced
:16:23. > :16:28.age. How does it work? A real time sensor attached to the patient's
:16:28. > :16:32.body measures glucose levels. Those readings are sent to a computer
:16:32. > :16:37.with a programme specific to the patient works out the insulin dose.
:16:37. > :16:42.This is then relayed to the insulin pump. This dispenses the correct
:16:42. > :16:46.amount of insulin every 15 minutes. If the system works as we would
:16:46. > :16:53.like it should reduce the complications associated with Type
:16:53. > :16:58.1 Diabetes, kidney problems, I disease problems. It is not only
:16:58. > :17:05.providing comfort but also improving the outcome for patients
:17:05. > :17:10.with Type 1 Diabetes. Kim Birch is currently undergoing trials. She
:17:10. > :17:14.has had Type 1 Diabetes for 20 years and says the artificial
:17:14. > :17:19.pancreas would change her life. would be amazing because she could
:17:19. > :17:27.live with diabetes without the ups and downs and also knowing that you
:17:27. > :17:30.might expect a normal longevity of life. You do not with complications.
:17:30. > :17:34.Trials have shown the artificial pancreas has been successful in
:17:34. > :17:41.regulating the amount of sugar in the blood of Type 1 Diabetes
:17:41. > :17:49.patients. If successful, the system could be commercially available
:17:49. > :17:51.within the next five - 10 years. Researchers at the engineering
:17:51. > :17:55.Department at Swansea University are developing a hi-tech diabetes
:17:55. > :18:02.monitor which would send a text message to a doctor, relative or
:18:03. > :18:07.friend to warn them if blood-sugar levels are dangerously low. It can
:18:07. > :18:12.happen when they are asleep and they might not wake up because
:18:12. > :18:18.their brain can shut down because of low blood glucose level. With
:18:18. > :18:22.the monitor we're hoping to alert their next of kin. The Micro needle
:18:22. > :18:26.trip would be placed in the skin and is a painless way off
:18:26. > :18:30.monitoring sugar levels and the blood. The challenge will be to
:18:30. > :18:36.make them at an affordable price. Researchers say they could save the
:18:36. > :18:40.NHS billions of pounds, more importantly they could save lives.
:18:40. > :18:46.On my personal quest to control my diabetes, my diet and exercise
:18:46. > :18:50.regime has continued with some success. Mealtimes a far healthier
:18:50. > :18:57.affair, my wife takes great care to make sure I do not give in to
:18:57. > :19:02.temptation. I am trying to reduce my intake of carbohydrates, so it
:19:02. > :19:09.is lean meat and vegetables. It is hard when someone next to me has a
:19:09. > :19:14.plate of chips! Continuing with the regular exercise, I think I am on
:19:14. > :19:19.track to reduce my weight, control my blood sugar and ultimately
:19:19. > :19:25.control my diabetes. Find out in a special report in December whether
:19:25. > :19:29.the six months of hard work have been worth it.
:19:29. > :19:34.Rugby: Wells defence caught Shaun Edwards has signed his new contract
:19:34. > :19:38.which will keep him with Wales for the next four years. Warren Gatland

:19:46. > :19:51.Paralympic coach Anthony Hughes has been named Sport Wales Coach of the

:20:05. > :20:11.He said today's award had come as a complete surprise. I am very rarely
:20:11. > :20:16.speechless. I did not expect that. It was next to gain the award for
:20:16. > :20:23.what I do because I can go across the world to Dubai and they know
:20:23. > :20:27.about Wales. The know about our academy system and our community

:20:32. > :20:36.Tomorrow night, we will be catching up with the Swansea City manager
:20:36. > :20:40.Brendan Rogers. His side have impressed in their first season in

:20:46. > :20:49.small matter of a visit from champions Manchester United.
:20:49. > :20:53.will be a wonderful occasion for the city and the football club
:20:54. > :20:58.because they thoroughly deserve it. They have had a lot of hard times
:20:58. > :21:02.here. These are days they can only dream of. Lots of people do not get
:21:02. > :21:10.the chance to do a job they laugh and I am very fortunate I get to do
:21:10. > :21:15.that and share it with people I feel connected to.
:21:15. > :21:19.In March, at the National Trust launched a bid to raise �1 million
:21:19. > :21:24.to build a farm in Snowdonia. Eight months later the campaign has
:21:24. > :21:31.reached its target and the trust says it will now buy the 600 acres
:21:31. > :21:34.at Llyndy Isaf. As winter approaches, there are
:21:34. > :21:38.less water than traffic in Snowdonia. Trying to keep the say
:21:38. > :21:43.they are as natural as possible is one of the reasons why they wanted
:21:43. > :21:47.to raise �1 million to buy the land and preferred environmental work.
:21:47. > :21:51.It is hard to believe that commercial development was a threat
:21:51. > :21:57.to this farm. Now that we have raised the �1 million we needed to
:21:57. > :22:04.in order to purchase the farm, we can be confident development will
:22:04. > :22:08.not happen. It took six weeks for the trust to raise �500,000 and
:22:08. > :22:16.another six months to raise the rest. Matthew Brace came to the
:22:16. > :22:24.official launch last March. We have made it. Thank you to so many of
:22:24. > :22:29.you who dug so deep and supported our campaign to save Llyndy Isaf.
:22:29. > :22:35.The 600 acre Llyndy Isaf is about to start a new chapter. It is a
:22:36. > :22:40.good thing for everybody concerned. It is not going to be an easy job.
:22:41. > :22:46.To go from here for the last time. We have been here for 35 years.
:22:47. > :22:53.This is what we see every day when we get up. If the National Trust is
:22:53. > :22:59.an important landowner, but there are many farmers concerned about
:22:59. > :23:03.people being too concerned about the environment. The focus is
