: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

:16:33. > :16:43.awareness. The question and answer session revealed that what they

:16:43. > :16:43.

:16:43. > :17:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds

:17:47. > :17:51.fear most is the cuts to their I think my choice of language was

:17:51. > :18:01.poor and I apologise if I have offended people. I regret doing

:18:01. > :18:01.

:18:01. > :18:03.that. I also regret the fact that I detracted from the main issue.

:18:03. > :18:07.Swansea's historic Hafod copperworks site is to open to the

:18:07. > :18:12.public after securing a grant of more than half a million pounds.

:18:12. > :18:16.The money from Welsh heritage body, Cadw, will be used to restore some

:18:16. > :18:20.of the tourist trails. The National Trust has signed an

:18:20. > :18:24.agreement with the port city council to take over the running of

:18:24. > :18:27.to be a house. The 17th century mansion along with 90 acres of

:18:27. > :18:33.gardens will be managed by the charity on a 50 year lease starting

:18:33. > :18:36.next year. European football bosses have paid

: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

:18:44. > :18:49.Wales manager was found dead at his home on Sunday. More tributes will

:18:49. > :18:54.be paid at football grounds across the country tomorrow. The lead

:18:54. > :19:02.singer of the Stereophonics, Kelly Jones, has recorded a special

:19:02. > :19:09.version of the adopted Welsh anthem in tribute to hems. -- in a tribute

:19:09. > :19:16.to him. The song will feature in tonight's

:19:16. > :19:21.programme will look back at Gary Speed's life and career. That is at

:19:21. > :19:26.10pm on BBC Two Wales. Swansea will look to build on their

:19:26. > :19:36.recent good form when they take on bottom club, Blackburn, in 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
