:01:41. > :01:43.explosion which caused the death of four people last summer. They have
:01:43. > :01:48.been questioned on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence,
:01:48. > :01:55.as part of investigation into the explosion. Caroline Evans is in our
:01:55. > :01:58.Cardiff newsroom. It was in June last year that this
:01:58. > :02:03.explosion happened. Four people were killed and one seriously
:02:03. > :02:06.injured when a storage tank exploded. Robert Broome, who was 48,
:02:06. > :02:13.Denis Riley, 52, Julie Schmitz, who was 54, and Andrew Jenkins, 33, all
:02:13. > :02:17.died. It was a disaster that has had huge
:02:17. > :02:22.impact on the community. 1.400 people work at the refinery, which
:02:22. > :02:27.is one of the largest in Europe. Two months after the explosion, it
:02:27. > :02:31.was sold to Valero Energy for more than �400 million.

:03:45. > :03:52.The A380 superjumbos is the largest passenger jet in the world. They
:03:52. > :03:58.are now carrying out checks on all the fleet. This is because of small
:03:58. > :04:07.cracks on the bracket which connects the skeleton in the wing
:04:07. > :04:17.with the wing itself. This was after a routine check on 20 of the

:04:24. > :04:34.It now means the rest of the current fleet, 48 other aircraft,
:04:34. > :04:38.will now be tested. One of them has been temporarily grounded. It is an
:04:38. > :04:44.issue which could present itself for very long period of time, but
:04:44. > :04:53.right now, in terms of the aeroplanes that are flying around
:04:53. > :04:59.the world, this is not a big problem. Airbus say the safety of
:04:59. > :05:05.the aeroplane is not affected. The EC permanent fix is will be carried

:05:10. > :05:15.global impact. Thefts of heating oil have
:05:15. > :05:19.increased over 500% in the last five years. It has coincided with
:05:19. > :05:22.massive prices rises. Figures released to BBC Wales, under a
:05:22. > :05:31.Freedom of Information request, showed there was the equivalent of
:05:31. > :05:41.one theft of oil every day by the end of last year. Roger Pinney is

:05:55. > :06:01.time of year, as the temperatures drop, the demand for oil rises. But
:06:01. > :06:07.there has been a huge spate of thefts. Even one of the smaller
:06:07. > :06:17.tanks will have hundreds of litres of oil sitting in it. Heating oil
:06:17. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:25.has become a target for thieves. The vicar it the Church says both
:06:25. > :06:34.his judges have fallen victim to Oriel thefts. There has been a
:06:34. > :06:43.spate of theft in this area. Not just the Church has been targeted.
:06:43. > :06:47.It is not just here. Elsewhere,, but mostly the rural areas, where
:06:47. > :06:56.people can often not be seen what they're getting up to, it has been
:06:56. > :07:06.a massive problem. The theft of heating oil is primarily, but not
:07:06. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:13.exclusively, in rural project. As the prices of oil have rocketed,
:07:13. > :07:20.saw her of the thefts. Five years ago, there were six the reported
:07:20. > :07:29.thefts. By two years ago, 260 had been reported. Last year, that had
:07:29. > :07:38.risen to 364. Farmers are particularly vulnerable. And I know
:07:38. > :07:43.of few that have been caught out. You're talking about the theft of
:07:43. > :07:53.400 or �500 each. When you have got to work hard to get it, then
:07:53. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :08:03.someone just comes to take it. means they you do not want to fill

:08:15. > :08:20.costs. The thefts have risen from one a week to one a day and that
:08:20. > :08:24.figure is still increasing. And I believe this could maybe be the tip
:08:24. > :08:30.of the iceberg, because many people may be do not realise there has
:08:31. > :08:35.been stolen, but simply think that their tank has run dry. They should
:08:35. > :08:44.take note of when they bought the oil, how much has been used and
:08:44. > :08:48.keep an eye on how much their supply is going down. The
:08:48. > :08:57.representative from this heating oil company supplies homes around
:08:57. > :09:01.the region. All of their trucks now have the tracking device. This is
:09:01. > :09:05.because some customers have complained that oil has not been
:09:05. > :09:12.delivered, when a fact they actually had, but subsequently been
:09:12. > :09:19.stolen. We have got a delivery sensory between the computer which

:09:39. > :09:47.not to mention all the security cameras, but what can people or do
:09:47. > :09:56.they do not have the sort of things? Firstly, we would recommend
:09:56. > :10:04.a lock on the tank, maybe disguise their tanks in the garden with
:10:04. > :10:09.something. If they are thinking of having or oil installation in, make
:10:09. > :10:15.sure they do not put it in a prominent position. We offer a
:10:15. > :10:20.facility where a fuel alarm can be fitted. When the level suddenly
:10:20. > :10:30.drops, and alarm will call from the house, which would allow them to a
:10:30. > :10:33.
:10:33. > :10:38.possible theft. We have seen a large decrease in the size of
:10:38. > :10:46.orders. A lot of people used to order 1,000 litres, but they have
:10:46. > :10:56.now dropped that to 500. There will be so concerned about the value
