:00:13. > :00:23.Hello. Tonight's headlines. The rolling of milk at a Llanwern
:00:23. > :00:33.
:00:33. > :00:36.Steelworks is mothballed for the Also tonight. He was a Nazi
:00:36. > :00:43.collaborator in the Second World War. The National Library of Wales
:00:43. > :00:48.has been criticised for accepting �300,000 that he left in his will.
:00:48. > :00:55.Carers called for radical reform of their benefits. We here about their
:00:55. > :01:02.money worries. The impact of any cuts on the heating now are
:01:02. > :01:07.astronomical to the likes of us. We dread to the future.
:01:07. > :01:12.This is where it all began for 12 year old who dreamt of playing for
:01:12. > :01:19.his country. The Shane Williams story sees him taking his final bow
:01:20. > :01:23.for Wales tomorrow. I am having trouble thinking about it. It will
:01:23. > :01:27.be a great day and a day I will never forget.
:01:27. > :01:34.We will hear from the woman who has followed his career from day one,
:01:34. > :01:40.his mother. And very excited. I have worked to 24 hour shift and I
:01:40. > :01:45.do not think I will sleep much tonight.
:01:45. > :01:50.Hello. Yet another sign of the crisis in the economy. Tata Steel
:01:50. > :01:54.has announced that it is mothballing of this site at
:01:54. > :01:58.Llanwern. Unions and politicians have described been used as a blow
:01:58. > :02:01.for Wales. Whether it is for cars, the
:02:02. > :02:08.construction industry, or your kitchen appliances, Steele is
:02:08. > :02:12.needed and a hot strip mill plays an important role. It is where huge
:02:12. > :02:17.slabs of steals are rolled into a metal sheets. The problems in the
:02:17. > :02:20.economy mean that the order books here are suffering. The mill of the
:02:20. > :02:25.rigidly mothballed in 2009 and when it was brought back into operation
:02:25. > :02:30.later that year, Tata Steel decided to adopt a more flexible way of
:02:30. > :02:34.working the using agency staff and fixed-term contract workers. Today,
:02:34. > :02:39.115 of them have been told that right now there is no work for them.
:02:39. > :02:43.But the news was not a total surprise. The mill is capable of
:02:43. > :02:48.8000 tonnes a day. Recently they have only been rolling 10,000
:02:48. > :02:52.tonnes per week. This is not unexpected. People are very worried,
:02:52. > :02:55.they are running up to Christmas, they're worried about paying
:02:56. > :03:00.Christmas bills and paying for Christmas in general. Then after
:03:00. > :03:04.that, they have to pick up the pieces. The problems at Llanwern
:03:04. > :03:08.are a direct result of the global economic crisis. The UK steel
:03:08. > :03:12.industry is struggling. We have seen the world economy slowing down
:03:12. > :03:15.and we have seen the forecast yesterday from the Office of
:03:15. > :03:20.budgetary responsibility. Mervyn King in the Bank of England has
:03:20. > :03:26.been talking about global issues and PCS an increase of unemployment
:03:26. > :03:34.in Europe. Basically the export market for Britain is getting
:03:34. > :03:41.smaller and smaller. Since Tata Steel bought Corus in 2007, the
:03:41. > :03:44.steel industry in England has fluctuated. In October 2008, blast
:03:45. > :03:49.furnace and number four was at mothballed at Port Talbot. Two
:03:49. > :03:54.years later, 180 jobs were lost in Flintshire. And a couple of months
:03:54. > :04:00.ago, production was halted for a week at its tinplate works. But
:04:00. > :04:04.there have also been grounds for optimism. Tata Steel is investing
:04:04. > :04:09.around �200 million in rebuilding a blast furnace for in Port Talbot.
:04:09. > :04:13.This is a sign of the company's commitment in Wales. It says the
:04:13. > :04:18.decision to mothball the hot mill at Llanwern was made with great
:04:18. > :04:22.regret. They intend to bring it back into operation as soon as the
:04:22. > :04:26.market improves. I do everything I can to drive the issue and raised
:04:26. > :04:30.with ministers in Parliament. We have a meeting with ministers on
:04:30. > :04:38.Monday. The Welsh government says it will provide what help it can to
:04:38. > :04:45.the workers. A 30 day consultation period is now under way.
:04:45. > :04:50.With me now is Dr Catherine Wald from Glamorgan business school. Why
:04:50. > :04:54.has the rolling mill be mothballed now? The steel industry depends on
:04:54. > :04:59.balancing carefully demand and supply. If there is overcapacity in
:04:59. > :05:03.the industry, demand decreases and supplies stays consistent, it
:05:03. > :05:09.drives down prices. Constantly there is a balance between demand
:05:09. > :05:13.and supply. This year, the overall global demand for steel is still
:05:13. > :05:19.set to be consistent or perhaps increase the little, but the
:05:19. > :05:24.picture in Europe is different. The major increases in demand for steel
:05:24. > :05:29.are in China, Korea, India. The European market is certainly not as
:05:29. > :05:34.buoyant. In fact other manufacturers have been mothballing
:05:34. > :05:39.plants, too, to try to create this balance between demand and supply.
:05:39. > :05:46.Tata Steel say they are investing in Wales, but should be -- should
:05:46. > :05:51.we be worried for the future of the steel industry he? Tata Steel had
:05:51. > :05:55.shown consistently that they are making investments and those
:05:55. > :05:59.investments are being made in troubled times. We took -- we
:05:59. > :06:08.should take heart from those investments. But this market is
:06:08. > :06:10.very volatile. The future is dependent on that.
:06:10. > :06:13.The Independent Police Complaints Commission has confirmed tonight
:06:13. > :06:18.that it will investigate the destruction of evidence which led
:06:18. > :06:20.to the collapse of the Lynnette White trial yesterday. Eight former
:06:20. > :06:29.police officers were cleared of perverted the course of justice
:06:29. > :06:38.after the wrongful conviction of three men for the word of -- murder
:06:38. > :06:43.of Lynette White. This trial cost �30 million. It will not cost
:06:43. > :06:48.anything like that. It is important to get at the trade because
:06:48. > :06:51.innocent people went to prison. The whole thing has been catastrophic.
:06:51. > :06:54.We must learn from these mistakes and be sure this does not happen in
:06:54. > :06:59.future. The National Library in Aberystwyth
:06:59. > :07:02.says it has no choice other than to accept a bequest from a man who
:07:02. > :07:06.collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War. Louis Feutren
:07:06. > :07:12.was a Breton nationalist who fought alongside the SS in France. He died
:07:12. > :07:17.last year and left �300,000 to the library.
:07:17. > :07:21.In an SS inspired uniform this is Louis Feutren, a Breton nationalist
:07:21. > :07:24.who believe the siding with Germany against France was a way of
:07:24. > :07:28.contributing to the future of Brittany and its language. He
:07:28. > :07:33.fought alongside the SS as a 21 year old and retreated from friends
:07:33. > :07:42.with the Nazis at the end of the year it -- the end of the war.
:07:42. > :07:48.man, Louis Feutren, was one of the people who retreated with the
:07:48. > :07:55.Germans. He then somehow found himself in Wales and we know that
:07:55. > :07:59.he was in Wales Burghley in 1947. From Wales he made his way to
:07:59. > :08:02.Ireland. He died there last year and in his will he left it
:08:02. > :08:06.documents for the National Library's Celtic collection and
:08:06. > :08:11.�300,000. After delving into his history, the library found that his
:08:11. > :08:16.money was not earned doing -- during his time at the SS. There
:08:16. > :08:22.were no conditions attached to the request. Following legal advice, it
:08:22. > :08:29.decided to accept in full. Lord Wheatley was the chairman of the
:08:29. > :08:35.board to accepted this decision. Lord Whibley described the decision
:08:35. > :08:43.has very difficult and stress that it was made on legal grounds First
:08:43. > :08:50.--. According to the wealth government's heritage minister
:08:50. > :08:54.these acceptance could damage the library's reputation. They would
:08:54. > :08:59.have had to face the inquiries from the Charity Commissioners.
:08:59. > :09:02.Charities are under an obligation to receive donations. The library
:09:02. > :09:08.took nine months and received a detailed legal advice before making
:09:08. > :09:13.a decision. Having done so and accepted the money, it now says
:09:13. > :09:17.that a proportion of the �300,000 will go towards projects
:09:17. > :09:21.highlighting the devastating effects of war and fascism.
:09:21. > :09:25.Tomorrow, rugby fans across the country will have the last chance
:09:25. > :09:33.to cheer on Shane Williams as he rare it -- wears the red jersey of
:09:33. > :09:39.Wales. Let's go to where it all began for him.
:09:39. > :09:44.There is no doubt that this man is an international rugby star. Here
:09:44. > :09:47.he is most certainly a Local Hero, too. He started his career at 12
:09:47. > :09:51.years old. When he made his international debut more than in
:09:51. > :09:56.seven years ago now, they made this banner for him. They have brought
:09:56. > :10:02.it out once again for his final cap for Wales. Good luck messages have
:10:02. > :10:06.been coming in from across the world of rugby. Shane Williams will
:10:06. > :10:09.shine on the international stage for the last time.
:10:09. > :10:14.One last training session before the big goodbye. Shane Williams are
:10:14. > :10:18.still moves like a gangster, but he has decided at the age of 34 that
:10:18. > :10:25.tomorrow will be his last game for Wales. A crowd had come to watch
:10:25. > :10:29.today and typically, he was happy to share the moment. After tomorrow,
:10:29. > :10:34.Wales will no longer be able to turn up to a man who has been a
:10:34. > :10:40.country's principal attacking weapon for more than a decade. His
:10:40. > :10:49.tries have one of trouble crowns. Not to mention a couple of grand
:10:50. > :10:54.slams. 57 tries in 86 appearances is streets ahead of any other
:10:54. > :11:00.wealth -- Welsh player in history. Tomorrow he will wear the red of
:11:00. > :11:04.Wales for one last time. I do not usually cry. I could very well be
:11:04. > :11:08.crying during the game and after the game, to be honest with you. It
:11:08. > :11:12.is emotional. I get choked up thinking about it now it is getting
:11:12. > :11:17.closer. It is going to be a great day, fantastic day, and a day I
:11:17. > :11:23.will never forget. When he made his debut in 2000, there were glimpses
:11:23. > :11:28.of what was to come. But later that month, wearing a shirt that looked
:11:29. > :11:37.three sizes too big, he also scored his first try. But afterwards, no
:11:37. > :11:41.one thought that he would become an all-time great. I do not want to
:11:41. > :11:46.put in way up there where he is under too much pressure. 11 years
:11:46. > :11:50.later, that view has been revised a little. He has been consistently
:11:50. > :11:58.world-class. I looked to him to do something special and often he does
:11:58. > :12:02.it. It is great that he is going to get that tribute. When many said
:12:02. > :12:06.that he was too small, one person who always believed he could do it
:12:06. > :12:12.was his mother. There will be no one prouder in the Millennium
:12:12. > :12:16.Stadium tomorrow. It will be very emotional for everyone. Friends and
:12:16. > :12:21.family are going. I have spoken to people locally and I think it will
:12:22. > :12:27.be emotional for them as a. Wales management have tried to make
:12:27. > :12:32.it a special week full him. He was also given the honour of announcing
:12:32. > :12:37.that the team to his fellow players. Tomorrow, the squad will try to put
:12:37. > :12:46.in motion to one side when they face Australia. Revenge would be
:12:46. > :12:49.sweet. It will be disappointing if we do not win this weekend. At the
:12:49. > :12:55.same time a lot of the motivation will be to send off Shane Williams
:12:55. > :13:01.in the right way. The Australians know all about Shane, he scored
:13:01. > :13:10.five tries against them in the World Cup. If he can do the same
:13:10. > :13:14.again tomorrow, it would be a fitting way to say goodbye.
:13:14. > :13:19.Let's talk to Martin Jones who was the club's secretary when Shane
:13:19. > :13:29.Williams started out. You have a lock and a lot of tries over the
:13:29. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:39.years. The first game he had since returning to this team, which was a
:13:39. > :13:46.midweek game, he scored four tries. You could see early on that this
:13:46. > :13:50.was a talented player? We saw that when he was with the juniors
:13:50. > :13:58.playing for the under 12. There was something about him that stood out
:13:58. > :14:02.from the rest. Since, he has become a world-class player. How proud I
:14:02. > :14:11.knew that a player from this club has gone on to achieve so much?
:14:11. > :14:16.are extremely proud. We are very proud that a local boy has done
:14:16. > :14:25.well, really well. Will tomorrow be an emotional day for many here at
:14:25. > :14:32.the club? It is an emotional day. It draws an end to end the era of a
:14:32. > :14:37.brilliant rugby player. And still lives. And we will be sorry to see
:14:37. > :14:44.him depart tomorrow. It is better to go on your own time without
:14:44. > :14:54.being shoved out by the coach. is going out on the top. Yes.
:14:54. > :15:02.will be more from us later on. Still to come. The school boy she
:15:02. > :15:06.also drives the school bus. First, carers across Wales the say
:15:06. > :15:11.the money worries are leaving them ill and a radical reform of
:15:11. > :15:15.benefits is needed to stop them falling into poverty. On Carers'
:15:15. > :15:20.Rights Day some say they are facing a bleak future.
:15:21. > :15:24.Carol Harrison is a full-time carer to her daughter who is 46. Now she
:15:24. > :15:34.is a pensioner, she cannot claim a carer's allowance. She is dreading
:15:34. > :15:39.the future. I hate going shopping. Now we trudge round three or four
:15:39. > :15:42.supermarkets to shoppers wisely as we can. Heating wires, we have cut
:15:42. > :15:50.back. We used to put the central heating on at any time and we no
:15:50. > :15:53.longer do that. Our own little bit of savings that we had, that we
:15:53. > :15:59.manage to scrape together over the years, has just gone down and down
:15:59. > :16:07.and down. She is not alone. A survey of over 300 carers in Wales
:16:07. > :16:11.and heating to make ends meet. Four in 10 said that caring has pushed
:16:11. > :16:17.them into the red. But more than half said that they were suffering
:16:17. > :16:20.anxiety and depression because of concerns about finances. Carers are
:16:20. > :16:28.coming together for one of a series of conferences being held across
:16:28. > :16:33.Wales. They are trying to address the issues facing them by raising

:18:36. > :18:40.tribute to Gary Speed at the draw for the Euro 2012 competition. They
:18:40. > :18:44.described him as one of the most popular characters of the game. The

:19:36. > :19:46.
:19:46. > :19:50.Back to the rugby. When you walk around this part of
:19:50. > :19:54.Wales there is only one thing on people's mind, that is the bigger
:19:54. > :19:59.game tomorrow. That is Shane Williams final appearance for Wales.
:19:59. > :20:09.Let us hear from the man himself. He will tell us about his first
:20:09. > :20:14.
:20:14. > :20:20.Even now when I look back, I can't get over it. I was petrified on
:20:20. > :20:28.that day. It was an adventure playing for Neath at first. I
:20:28. > :20:33.really wanted to play for Neath and get in the side. It was hard work.
:20:33. > :20:39.I worked my socks off and battled against adversity. I was playing
:20:39. > :20:47.against players twice as strong as I was and bigger than myself. I was
:20:47. > :20:51.getting thrown around like a rag doll. It was tougher. I worked hard.
:20:51. > :20:58.I still was not big enough when I played for Wales, looking back. I
:20:58. > :21:03.looked like one of the ball boys! It would be great to go out with a
:21:03. > :21:10.win. I just can't wait for the day now. It's going to be a good day
:21:10. > :21:16.and I can't wait to see all my friends. It is going to be a great
:21:16. > :21:26.day. But we have to win the game thirst. Any idea how you will feel
:21:26. > :21:28.
:21:28. > :21:34.when you get onto the field? They will be tears before, during and
:21:34. > :21:41.after the game. It is going to be emotional. I just want to go out
:21:42. > :21:45.and play some rugby. I want to put in a big performance. It will be a
:21:45. > :21:50.tough game. Australia are one of the best teams in the world. It is
:21:50. > :21:54.all about winning first and foremost. I am going to enjoy the
:21:54. > :21:57.experience. There is no better place to play than the Millennium
:21:57. > :22:03.Stadium. Let's talk to some of the club
:22:03. > :22:09.members. You are the club president. You know Shane Williams. He told me
:22:09. > :22:16.earlier that fame has not changed him. It has not. He is exactly like
:22:16. > :22:19.one of the boys. We watch him playing for the Ospreys on a
:22:19. > :22:29.Saturday afternoon and within half- an-hour of the game finishing, he
:22:29. > :22:33.is back here with the boys sitting in the corner and enjoying himself.
:22:33. > :22:39.There will be plenty of people heading to the Millennium Stadium
:22:39. > :22:46.tomorrow. We are immensely proud of him. We have three buses going up
:22:46. > :22:54.tomorrow morning. We wish him all the very best tomorrow. Hopefully,
:22:55. > :23:00.he finishes with a try. You trained Shane Williams when he was just 12.
:23:00. > :23:04.What was special about him back then? You could see the way he
:23:04. > :23:14.played and his attitude, he used to do things that other players could
:23:14. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:20.only dream of. He was exceptional. He was sensational. He started here
:23:20. > :23:30.and got spotted. He was outstanding in the first team. It did not take
:23:30. > :23:31.
:23:31. > :23:39.him long to go to Neath. I remember going to watch him play for Neath
:23:39. > :23:47.and he had stepped up a gear or two. Thank you very much. Not long to go
:23:47. > :23:52.now until kick-off. There is commentary on a BBC Radio Wales and
:23:52. > :23:57.the game is live on BBC One Wales. We will have all the reaction to
:23:57. > :24:00.the game throughout the weekend. The bus driver at one
:24:00. > :24:02.Carmarthenshire school is a very familiar face to students. He's one
:24:03. > :24:07.of the sixth formers. This summer, 18-year-old Joseff Edwards passed
:24:07. > :24:10.the test to drive a 54-seater coach. So he now does the school run to
:24:10. > :24:19.Ysgol Dyffryn Taf in Whitland, getting �20 a day from the coach
:24:19. > :24:22.company, run by his dad. It is a big responsibility to drive
:24:22. > :24:31.everybody to school. They have to be safe and I have to get them
:24:31. > :24:34.there safely. I have to make sure they are all well behaved. Somebody
