:01:11. > :01:15.On Friday, in line with rest of the UK, the Welsh Government said it
:01:15. > :01:18.would pay for their removal and replacement for NHS patients only.
:01:18. > :01:21.Now that offer has been extended to the vast majority of patients who
:01:21. > :01:26.had the implants privately if a doctor decides they have a clinical
:01:26. > :01:29.need. It's been welcomed by patients, although it's unclear how
:01:29. > :01:31.many women are affected. The offer of NHS treatment comes with a
:01:31. > :01:34.substantial caveat - patients will have to prove that they have done
:01:34. > :01:37.everything possible to pursue their private provider. Only those
:01:37. > :01:39.registered with a Welsh GP will be able to apply. Health Secretary,
:01:39. > :01:41.Andrew Lansley will clarify the latest situation in England
:01:41. > :01:51.tomorrow but, tonight, Wales has ventured alone without fully
:01:51. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:06.knowing what the cost to the NHS will be. I know that the clients we
:02:06. > :02:11.have been acting for will be delighted that the government is
:02:11. > :02:16.going to come to their aid. What we do think is still the case, however,
:02:16. > :02:26.it should be clinics picking up the Tapia. The most important thing has
:02:26. > :02:53.
:02:53. > :03:00.Let's talk to the Health Minister Lesley Griffiths. Why are you doing
:03:00. > :03:04.this? I have been told that clinically, if we remove him plants
:03:04. > :03:09.from a woman, the best way is then to put any implant in straight away
:03:09. > :03:16.rather than have to go through a second procedure. There are also
:03:16. > :03:20.difficulties. It could lead to an infection or that difficulties.
:03:20. > :03:25.is estimated around 2,000 women have had these implants in Wales.
:03:25. > :03:30.How much is this going to cost? think the number will be
:03:30. > :03:33.substantially lower than that. Our initial investigations are that the
:03:33. > :03:38.number is relatively low. The difference between removing plants
:03:38. > :03:43.and putting in new implants is not that great. But this is providing a
:03:43. > :03:48.safety net for women at risk. There is no firm evidence that the PIP in
:03:48. > :03:54.plans need to be removed. But the woman must go to her private
:03:54. > :03:59.provider first to see if they will do it. So you have no idea how much
:03:59. > :04:06.you have committed the NHS in Wales to spend on this? We believe are
:04:06. > :04:11.the cost is low. How much is that? I can't give you a firm figure. The
:04:11. > :04:16.number of women who have had these implants is very low. Our initial
:04:16. > :04:24.investigations suggest it will only be women who have gone over the
:04:24. > :04:29.border into England that will have these implants put-in. Why should
:04:29. > :04:35.the NHS pay for the cost of what are largely cosmetic procedures?
:04:35. > :04:38.a woman has had them done for cosmetic reasons, she must go to
:04:38. > :04:42.her private provider, only if she is at risk, and that private
:04:42. > :04:46.provider should remove and putting new implants are. We would expect
:04:46. > :04:51.the private provider to do that and if they did not, I would see that
:04:51. > :04:57.as pretty disgraceful behaviour. What troops will those patients
:04:57. > :05:01.have to jump through in order for them to have this NHS treatment?
:05:01. > :05:05.I said, there is no firm evidence that these impasse me to be removed.
:05:05. > :05:09.If it is found that a woman is at risk, and that has got to be
:05:09. > :05:14.clinically proven, so she has got to see either her GP or the surgeon
:05:14. > :05:17.who put an end in the first place. Are civil servants and council
:05:17. > :05:21.employees paid too much and should their wages depend on where they
:05:21. > :05:24.live? The UK Government has already announced a review into regional
:05:24. > :05:27.pay and new figures show that Wales has the biggest gap between what
:05:27. > :05:35.workers earn in the public sector against those doing comparable jobs
:05:35. > :05:40.with private companies. Should a way you live determine how
:05:40. > :05:45.much you earn? At present, public sector pay is equal across the UK.
:05:45. > :05:47.It means workers in Aberystwyth don't lose out. But some are saying
:05:47. > :05:53.that public sector workers are feathering their nests at the
:05:53. > :05:58.expense of the private sector. Not so says a Brian Evans, headmaster
:05:58. > :06:02.of this Primary School in a town. good teacher is a good teacher,
:06:02. > :06:07.irrespective of postcode or way you live and your wages should reflect
:06:07. > :06:10.that. I am concerned that we won't be able to retain quality staff
:06:10. > :06:16.because people will be unwilling to move to rural areas because they
:06:16. > :06:19.can get paid better down the road. Figures from the Institute for
:06:19. > :06:23.Fiscal Studies show that public sector workers are far better off
:06:23. > :06:29.than those doing a comparable job in the private sector. Women in
:06:29. > :06:37.Wales can in 18.5 % more in the public sector, even though the UK
:06:37. > :06:43.average pay gap is 10.2 %. Men in 18 % more compared to a UK average
:06:43. > :06:48.of 4.6 %. It is estimated that the public, private wage gap in Wales
:06:48. > :06:52.is the highest in the UK. This woman, who opened a legal practice
:06:52. > :06:57.just over a year ago, says her company has been a victim of this
:06:57. > :07:02.disparity. We have encountered several difficulties in relation to
:07:02. > :07:12.salary. We find that the public sector are able to offer higher
:07:12. > :07:12.
:07:12. > :07:16.salaries whereas, in the private sector, we are not able to do this.
:07:16. > :07:20.Introducing regional pay would have a detrimental effect on the Welsh
:07:20. > :07:25.economy at according to one MP. ban would have a huge impact not
:07:26. > :07:28.only in terms of morale and recruitment but there would be less
:07:28. > :07:32.cash circulating in the local economy and the end effect of that
:07:32. > :07:36.would be a hit on the private sector. If after taking industrial
:07:37. > :07:42.action over pensions over Christmas, public sector workers could soon
:07:42. > :07:47.face a fight over wages. The UK government says UK -- regional pay
:07:47. > :07:51.is not about saving money. public sector pay is significantly
:07:51. > :07:55.higher than private sector in serious and that inhibits the
:07:55. > :07:59.private sector from growing. Private sector growth is what those
:07:59. > :08:03.areas really need. With more than one in four of the Welsh workforce
:08:03. > :08:07.employed in the public sector, any changes to salaries will affect
:08:07. > :08:09.many people. The government will receive recommendations in the
:08:09. > :08:12.summer. Two teenagers who died after their
:08:12. > :08:15.car crashed on the Horseshoe Pass near Llangollen have been named as
:08:16. > :08:20.Dale Williams and Jonathon Cassidy- Jones. They were both 18 and from
:08:20. > :08:24.the Ruabon area. A third man is being treated for chest injuries at
:08:24. > :08:28.Wrexham Maelor Hospital. A farmer, the first eyewitness at the scene,
:08:29. > :08:33.has been describing what he saw. Dale Williams and Johnathan
:08:33. > :08:36.Cassidy-Jones, known as Jonty, were both 18 and from the Ruabon area.
:08:36. > :08:40.They died when their car left the road at the bottom of the Horseshoe

:08:43. > :08:45.students, saying they were well liked and talented and hoped to
:08:45. > :08:50.embark on exciting careers once they'd completed their courses in
:08:50. > :08:53.forestry and machinery respectively. The third man, understood to be Tom
:08:53. > :08:55.Pewtner, who also studies there, has been treated at Wrexham Maelor
:08:55. > :08:59.Hospital for chest injuries but they're not thought to be life-
:08:59. > :09:08.threatening. He was helped by a local farmer who was first to
:09:08. > :09:13.arrive at the scene. I pulled up and I saw the gentleman coming up
:09:13. > :09:19.the bank quite slowly. I stopped and just checked he was OK and then
:09:19. > :09:24.immediately got on the phone to 999 and thankfully my phone worked. I
:09:24. > :09:29.flagged down the next group of cars and two fantastic people, a
:09:29. > :09:33.gentleman and a lady, jumped out and help them down to the calf. I
:09:33. > :09:37.carried on talking to the emergency services are. The spot where the
:09:37. > :09:39.Peugeot left the road is attracting flowers and messages in tribute. A
:09:39. > :09:42.temporary barrier has been fitted where fencing has been damaged.
:09:42. > :09:45.Emergency crews spent much of yesterday afternoon surveying the
:09:45. > :09:47.wreckage and collecting evidence. The A542, which runs through the
:09:47. > :09:51.Horseshoe Pass, was closed for several hours with diversions set
:09:51. > :09:54.up for traffic. Meanwhile inquests into the deaths of the two men are
:09:54. > :09:57.expected to be held tomorrow. The plane maker Airbus says moving
:09:57. > :10:01.part of its wing production to another company in Korea will not
:10:01. > :10:04.hit jobs at its Flintshire plant. The Broughton factory employs more
:10:04. > :10:09.than 6,000 people, including about 200 on wing panels for the A320
:10:09. > :10:14.aircraft. That work is being outsourced to Korean Aerospace
:10:14. > :10:18.Industries. A murder investigation is underway
:10:18. > :10:21.after a car hit a 25-year-old man in the early hours of this morning.
:10:21. > :10:24.Kyle Griffith from Cardiff was taken to the University Hospital of
:10:24. > :10:29.Wales after the incident in the Docklands area of the city where he

:10:34. > :10:38.So the controversial high speed rail link between London and
:10:38. > :10:41.Birmingham will go ahead and it'll be extended to Leeds and Manchester.
:10:41. > :10:45.Trains travelling at up to 250 miles per hour will significantly
:10:45. > :10:50.cut journey times. But what impact will the development of rail
:10:50. > :10:53.infrastructure in England have here? Sian Lloyd reports.
:10:53. > :10:58.It's been hailed as a once in a lifetime chance to change the
:10:58. > :11:06.railways, cutting journey times and increasing capacity. Welcomed by
:11:06. > :11:11.businesses along the route, but what about this side of the border?
:11:11. > :11:15.We are spending all this money on a high-speed rail link while in North
:11:15. > :11:21.Wales, the main arterial route between Chester and Holyhead is not
:11:21. > :11:25.even a electrified. There are plans to develop this part of Cardiff as
:11:25. > :11:28.the commercial hub of the Welsh capital over the next 20 years and
:11:28. > :11:31.it couldn't be closer to the railway line. But there are
:11:31. > :11:35.concerns from sections of the business community that they won't
:11:35. > :11:38.be well enough connected. After High Speed Two, it'll be much
:11:38. > :11:41.quicker to get to London from most major English cities than from
:11:41. > :11:44.Cardiff. The journey time London to Birmingham will be slashed from 1
:11:44. > :11:49.hour 24 minutes to 49 minutes - potentially good news for those in
:11:49. > :11:52.Mid Wales able to cross the border to use the new line. From
:11:52. > :11:56.Manchester, the current journey of 2 hours 8 minutes will be cut by an
:11:56. > :12:01.hour. Again, that may help rail passengers in North Wales needing
:12:01. > :12:08.to get to London. London to Cardiff presently takes 2 hours. Even after
:12:08. > :12:10.electrification it'll still take 1 hour 43 minutes. Mark Barry is a
:12:10. > :12:20.business advisor who gave evidence to the parliamentary committee
:12:20. > :12:24.about high speed rail. I think we all expected that it would go ahead.
:12:24. > :12:27.Disappointed they have stuck to the originally proposed route going
:12:27. > :12:31.through Cheryl Gillan's constituency and ignoring the
:12:31. > :12:35.option of going via Heathrow directly which could have had some
:12:35. > :12:36.benefits for us in Wales. The route has been controversial in England
:12:36. > :12:40.for cutting through picturesque countryside, including the
:12:40. > :12:43.constituency of Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan. She'd previously
:12:43. > :12:48.threatened to resign but eight miles of tunnels have been added to
:12:48. > :12:57.appease opponents. In the Senedd, First Minister Carwyn Jones
:12:57. > :13:02.questioned the priorities of the UK Government. If at �500 million can
:13:02. > :13:08.be found for a one mile town in Buckinghamshire, that money can be
:13:08. > :13:11.found for valleys electrification and for Cardiff and Swansea
:13:11. > :13:13.electrification as well. Cheryl Gillan issued a carefully worded
:13:13. > :13:17.statement welcoming the extra tunnels but insisting the project
:13:17. > :13:20.was still at an early stage. Much more to come before seven
:13:20. > :13:24.o'clock: Is anyone going to ask us what we
:13:24. > :13:27.think? Wales football captain Aaron Ramsey criticises the search for a
:13:27. > :13:30.new manager. And this was how they used to do it
:13:30. > :13:38.- we'll be reporting on the new equipment for the RNLI trialled
:13:39. > :13:41.The mother of a child who died after being born with severe brain
:13:41. > :13:46.damage says the midwifery unit where he was delivered should be
:13:46. > :13:50.closed until problems there are sorted out. Noah Tyler was born in
:13:50. > :13:55.February but died just before Christmas. Today the midwife who
:13:55. > :13:57.treated his mother was allowed to continue practising.
:13:57. > :14:02.Colleen and Hywel Tyler from Caerphilly had been looking forward
:14:02. > :14:05.to the birth of their first child. But when Colleen went into the
:14:05. > :14:14.University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff to have the baby, she says
:14:14. > :14:20.things started going wrong. By the time he was born he was not
:14:20. > :14:25.breathing. He was just white and I did know. They had to take him out
:14:25. > :14:30.of the room. I thought it was just to clean him up. He had to be
:14:31. > :14:36.resuscitated because he had died. They managed to bring him back and
:14:36. > :14:40.spent the next six weeks at the neonatal unit with severe brain
:14:40. > :14:43.damage epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Noah died two days before Christmas.
:14:43. > :14:46.The midwife in charge of his care, Julie Richards, has been allowed to
:14:46. > :14:51.return to work under strict supervision. A hearing today
:14:51. > :14:58.extended that arrangement for another three months.
:14:58. > :15:05.After everything we have gone through, to find out this midwife
:15:06. > :15:09.might be able to go back to work and have her clean slate, where is
:15:09. > :15:17.our clean slate? The Tylers are planning legal action against the
:15:17. > :15:22.hospital. Part of the wider scope will be looking at the services in
:15:22. > :15:30.Cardiff. It is the capital city of Wales and it should have Capital
:15:30. > :15:33.City standards. Serious policies and procedures need changing. In my
:15:33. > :15:36.opinion the midwifery than unit being closed down would not be that
:15:36. > :15:39.drastic. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has offered
:15:39. > :15:42.its deepest condolences to the family. It says the individual no
:15:42. > :15:44.longer works for them and believes appropriate action has been taken.
:15:44. > :15:47.Colleen and Hywel Tyler are preparing themselves for Noah's
:15:47. > :15:51.funeral later this week. Though they are expecting another baby
:15:51. > :15:55.this year, they say the fight for justice for Noah goes on.
:15:55. > :15:58.Co-operatives may fill gaps left by cuts to public services. That was
:15:58. > :16:01.one suggestion made today with the publication of the new report
:16:02. > :16:05.highlighting their worth to the Welsh economy. Co-ops are run by
:16:05. > :16:08.people working together for the benefit of their members. They're
:16:08. > :16:13.worth more than �1 billion to our economy and employs 7000 people in
:16:13. > :16:21.sectors ranging from retail to farming and pharmacy. They have
:16:21. > :16:23.been outperforming other companies. It looks like any other office but
:16:23. > :16:28.the workers here aren't just employees, they are also
:16:29. > :16:34.shareholders and decision-makers. Dulas is a renewable energy company
:16:34. > :16:37.based in Machynlleth. It was set up as a co-operative 30 years ago.
:16:37. > :16:47.Since then it has grown into the UK's second largest worker co-op
:16:47. > :16:49.
:16:49. > :16:54.with a turnover of �22 million. Here is an example of this model.

:17:21. > :17:25.extends to the lunch break. When the company started all those years
:17:25. > :17:28.ago, members of staff would take it in turn to cook for everyone. With

:18:07. > :18:11.example, rather than having a service cut workers can take over

:18:14. > :18:17.the economic downturn of the 1980s. As the country faces similar

:18:30. > :18:33.manager Mark Hughes is back in football tonight. He is the new
:18:33. > :18:36.boss at Queens Park Rangers replacing Neil Warnock who was
:18:36. > :18:40.sacked on Sunday. Hughes has been out of work since quitting Fulham
:18:40. > :18:47.last June. Today he signed a two- and-a-half year contract with QPR
:18:48. > :18:50.who are currently 17th in the Premier League.
:18:50. > :18:53.Wales captain, Aaron Ramsey, has criticised the Welsh FA saying it
:18:53. > :18:56.is disappointing the players have not been consulted about who will
:18:56. > :19:00.replace Gary Speed as manager. Ramsey is also keen that assistants,
:19:00. > :19:09.Raymond Verheijen and Osian Roberts, remain part of the coaching staff.
:19:09. > :19:13.More now from Tomos Dafydd. He is one of the bigger stars for

:19:22. > :19:29.are unhappy they have not had a say in who should get the national

:20:08. > :20:13.not be easy. I don't think anything should be changed because it is
:20:13. > :20:19.going in the right direction. If I said I wasn't interested, I would
:20:19. > :20:22.be lying. The FAW say they have not had discussions with any candidates
:20:22. > :20:25.and insist it is too early to say whether a new manager will be in

:20:28. > :20:34.Former Wales striker Ian Walsh has joined me. Is Aaron Ramsey right to
:20:34. > :20:38.criticise the FAW? You could see where the players are
:20:39. > :20:43.coming from. They have got every right. There has been progress with
:20:43. > :20:48.Welsh footballer the last 12 months. The players are quite right to have
:20:48. > :20:51.their say. In my day, the manager was picked and you played a
:20:52. > :20:56.respected the manager. Sometimes the players have too much say in
:20:56. > :21:03.football. On the one hand, they are correct in having their viewpoints
:21:03. > :21:09.but the FAW want a figurehead to prevent -- to take things forward.
:21:09. > :21:15.This is a very difficult decision for the Welsh FA. You say they need
:21:15. > :21:20.a figurehead, who might that figureheads been? And Chris Coleman
:21:20. > :21:24.and Ian Rush have been mentioned. A Ryan Giggs would be the man but he
:21:24. > :21:29.is still playing for Manchester United. Chris Coleman has got a bit
:21:29. > :21:34.of experience at the premiere, he did a good job at Fulham. He was
:21:34. > :21:39.sacked wrongly in my opinion. All of a certain he is back here are
:21:39. > :21:44.ready to man it again. Some direct they could step into it. He said he
:21:44. > :21:48.would take the two assistance as well. It is important the two
:21:48. > :21:58.assistance are there. But Chris Coleman is his own man and will
:21:58. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:04.want to do things his own way. Cardiff City are away to Crystal
:22:04. > :22:10.Palace tonight. They have beaten them in the league this season and
:22:10. > :22:17.that has given them plenty of confidence ahead of some ice's game.
:22:17. > :22:22.They were having a good run at the time. They had no conceded. That is
:22:22. > :22:27.obviously good at the time. We have that in at the back of our minds.
:22:27. > :22:30.We know they array tight outfits and the work hard. If we play like
:22:30. > :22:33.we have recently, we know we will get the result.
:22:33. > :22:36.There is live commentary on Radio Wales and Radio Cymru from 7:30pm.
:22:36. > :22:40.Don't forget the highlights in the League Cup at 11:35pm here on BBC 1
:22:40. > :22:45.Wales. For nearly 200 years the RNLI has
:22:45. > :22:50.been saving lives. It is vital crew members themselves stay safe during
:22:50. > :22:54.rescues. Key to that are lifejackets. The first were
:22:54. > :22:57.pioneered by the Institution more than a century and a half ago. They
:22:57. > :23:00.have changed many times over the years. Crews are now to get new
:23:01. > :23:09.ones and they have been trialled here in Wales. Roger Pinney got an
:23:09. > :23:14.exclusive first look. Brave volunteers in any era when
:23:15. > :23:17.the lifeboats were powered by Sale. RNLI crew members are taking to the
:23:17. > :23:23.sea and life jackets. Cumbersome they may have been but they have
:23:23. > :23:28.them. Make no mistake about it, life jacket is an essential item of
:23:28. > :23:35.kit that members of the lifeboat crew can have. It is the absolute
:23:35. > :23:41.life-saver, on a lifeboat like this they could be at sea for up to 52
:23:41. > :23:46.hours. It is all about comfort and safety. This did you taken from the
:23:46. > :23:52.Holyhead lifeboat during search for missing crew members on the cargo
:23:52. > :23:57.ship that sank last November, shows how brutal conditions at sea can be.
:23:57. > :24:06.The new life jackets were trial that Holyhead. The crew members
:24:06. > :24:09.themselves asked what they wanted. These were fantastic. Some of the
:24:09. > :24:14.better features we have got with the new ones, a fact they can take
:24:14. > :24:21.the weight off the back of your neck, they are more comfortable to
:24:21. > :24:24.wear. Two different chambers of air, so in a normal lifejackets, it
:24:24. > :24:31.would have one single chamber but now we have two chambers. If you
:24:31. > :24:36.lose 1, we have got the ability to inflate a second chamber. On the
:24:36. > :24:40.new features, we have a halt by Lisa that comes over the top. If
:24:40. > :24:46.you end up in the water itself, you are covered. You have that ability
:24:46. > :24:51.to cover your face and the survival rate is better. It is about
:24:51. > :24:59.survival. The RNLI prick's pioneered the early life jackets in
:24:59. > :25:06.the 1850s. Live turkeys have they evolved over the years for some

:25:26. > :25:31.They need to be fitted down with a new life jackets. We are reliant of
:25:31. > :25:36.the support of the public to help us raise the funds. Don't forget
:25:36. > :25:42.the RNLI is funded entirely by donations. Crew members say the new
:25:42. > :25:46.life jackets will make a difference. The conditions they may face a sea
:25:46. > :25:48.may not have changed over the years but thankfully they will tell you,
:25:48. > :25:56.the equipment certainly has. Let's get the weather forecast now.
