:00:18. > :00:28.not make life any easier without her, but it would mean we got some

:01:21. > :01:26.from Dyfed Powys Police are to travel to Thailand in a renewed

:01:27. > :01:29.effort to track down the killer of Welsh backer Kirsty Jones. Officers

:01:29. > :01:39.believe a DNA profile that's already in their possession will

:01:39. > :01:44.

:01:44. > :01:47.It was meant to be the trip of a life time. But just three weeks in,

:01:47. > :01:52.Kirsty Jones was strangled and raped in this hostel in northern

:01:52. > :01:57.Thailand back in 2000. Twelve years on and her killer still hasn't been

:01:57. > :02:07.found. Back home in Brecon, the 23- year-old's family still struggle

:02:07. > :02:07.

:02:07. > :02:12.knowing no-one's been brought to justice. Whoever did this has

:02:12. > :02:16.committed a crime for that they have taken away a wonderful young

:02:16. > :02:20.life. Even if we got someone for the murder, it would not make life

:02:20. > :02:25.any easier without her but it would give us some sense of justice and

:02:25. > :02:28.she could rest in peace. Today, Dyfed Powys Police announced two

:02:28. > :02:31.senior detectives are flying out to Thailand this weekend. They've been

:02:31. > :02:34.helping the authorities there for the past 12 years. Back in 2002,

:02:34. > :02:38.their forensic officers were able to piece together a full DNA

:02:38. > :02:41.profile of the killer. Now they feel the time is right to visit

:02:41. > :02:51.again to encourage investigators there to renew the search for a

:02:51. > :02:57.

:02:57. > :03:05.match. From hairs that were recovered at the scene, a full DNA

:03:05. > :03:11.profile was recovered. We have always suggested that they identify

:03:11. > :03:18.the individual and that is key to the investigation. It's a step

:03:18. > :03:22.forward for Kirsty's family. Even if they were surprised by it.

:03:22. > :03:26.did not know if they would go or not. It is down to resources and

:03:26. > :03:30.what they think they can do. But we are pleased they are going because

:03:30. > :03:38.they will get first-hand information as to what they were

:03:38. > :03:44.arguing over there. Speaking two officers, they say the answer to

:03:44. > :03:52.the murder lies and over there. It is after them to put pressure on

:03:52. > :03:56.the other oddities. -- authorities. A man is being treated in hospital

:03:56. > :04:00.after a train crash at a railway crossing in Powys. The incident

:04:00. > :04:10.happened this morning and happened when a train hit a van at a single

:04:10. > :04:16.

:04:17. > :04:24.track crossing. No passengers were injured this morning. It happened

:04:24. > :04:28.at around 12:30pm. The train was travelling from Newtown. It hit a

:04:28. > :04:34.white van on the track behind me. The front part of the van was

:04:34. > :04:38.smashed. The van and was thrown and landed on its roof in a ditch in

:04:38. > :04:45.the or the track. The emergency services were called to the scene

:04:45. > :04:51.and one man was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. They're rather

:04:51. > :04:58.a couple of gates. The normal procedure is for reform in the

:04:58. > :05:03.Yellow Box to be used. It is not clear what happened in this

:05:03. > :05:08.incident but Transport Police are treating it as a serious incident

:05:08. > :05:12.and they are investigating. It is a very a remote location. We are

:05:12. > :05:16.speaking to people that were on the train and that will be followed up

:05:16. > :05:22.during the course of our investigation. If there were dog-

:05:22. > :05:32.walkers or anyone in the countryside, please get in touch.

:05:32. > :05:34.

:05:34. > :05:38.What details are known about the We understand the driver was 36

:05:38. > :05:43.years old and work-related the engineering company. There is a

:05:43. > :05:50.farmer on the tracks -- on the other side of the tracks and is

:05:50. > :05:55.presently was on his way there. He was carried by air ambulance to the

:05:56. > :06:05.Royal Shrewsbury. None of the passengers who were on the train at

:06:05. > :06:08.the time were injured in any way. Buses have been carrying travellers.

:06:08. > :06:11.The track has now been reopened. The founder of Flintshire-based

:06:11. > :06:14.supermarket chain Iceland is in talks with his management team to

:06:14. > :06:20.buy the company ahead of other contenders. Malcolm Walker has

:06:20. > :06:23.reportedly bid �1.5 billion for the frozen foods firm. The talks are

:06:23. > :06:32.with two Icelandic banks, which own 77% of the shares. Mr Walker

:06:32. > :06:35.started the company after investing �30 in a shop in Oswestry in 1970.

:06:35. > :06:40.Fire chiefs are warning of the dangers of electric faults after a

:06:40. > :06:43.blaze in Llandudno which left three people in hospital. Investigators

:06:43. > :06:47.say yesterday's fire was caused by an electrical short circuit in a

:06:47. > :06:52.cupboard. An elderly woman and her son are still in intensive care

:06:52. > :06:57.after suffering smoke inhalation and severe burns. Another man was

:06:57. > :07:00.released with minor injuries. Health Minister Lesley Griffiths

:07:00. > :07:05.has defended her Government's reforms of the NHS in Wales after

:07:05. > :07:09.accusations of a slash and burn approach from doctors' leaders.

:07:09. > :07:13.Wales is the only part of the UK where NHS spending has not been

:07:13. > :07:23.ringfenced. In a moment I'll be speaking to the secretary of BMA

:07:23. > :07:24.

:07:24. > :07:27.It was hard hat time for the Health Minister today. Lesley Griffiths

:07:27. > :07:32.was in North Wales to announce the �90 million redevelopment of Ysbyty

:07:33. > :07:36.Glanclwyd. But she also came under attack from doctors leaders. Cuts

:07:36. > :07:46.to NHS spending in Wales, they say, are poorly planned and seem to be

:07:46. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:50.the result of a panic. The health boards are given a huge amount of

:07:50. > :08:00.money to provide services and I expect them to live within their

:08:00. > :08:01.

:08:01. > :08:05.means and come in on budget. I had a very constructive discussion.

:08:05. > :08:07.health boards try to cope with cuts we can expect to see more scenes

:08:07. > :08:10.like these. 550 people attended a public meeting in Aberystwyth last

:08:10. > :08:13.Friday to discuss the future of the town's hospital. Nobody from the

:08:13. > :08:16.Hywel Dda Health Board was at that meeting. But today a delegation,

:08:16. > :08:24.led by the board's chief executive, gave a presentation and answered

:08:24. > :08:30.questions during a full meeting of Ceredigion Council. I do not think

:08:30. > :08:38.there are threats to the basic service. We had today, at the

:08:38. > :08:45.moment, very little is likely to move. It plays a pivotal role in

:08:45. > :08:47.the geography of Mid and West Wales. Patients and doctors at Bronglais

:08:47. > :08:51.have said they're worried the hospital could lose vital services

:08:51. > :08:53.as a result of the health board's reforms. The board tried to ease

:08:53. > :08:57.those concerns today and insisted no decisions have been made yet.

:08:57. > :09:06.But that did little to convince some of those sitting in the public

:09:06. > :09:12.gallery. I think the population and the commissions and the people I

:09:12. > :09:16.represent have lost faith in the board. I have come out of their

:09:16. > :09:20.thinking it is all smoke and mirrors. They have made various

:09:20. > :09:26.promises but I have heard various promises made by various health

:09:26. > :09:28.boards over many years. It's a similar story elsewhere. This was

:09:28. > :09:31.Llanelli on Saturday where campaigners marched in opposition

:09:31. > :09:35.to possible changes to the A&E department at Prince Philip

:09:35. > :09:44.Hospital. And as another public meeting get underway in the town

:09:44. > :09:53.this evening it Lesley Griffiths Richard Lewis is Secretary of BMA

:09:53. > :10:00.Cymru Wales. He joins me here in the studio. Slash and burn, that is

:10:00. > :10:05.a pretty emotive term? It is. The important issue here is not to look

:10:05. > :10:10.at the emotive terms but what is going on. We do appreciate that hat

:10:10. > :10:15.boards are under pressure and it is challenging times for everybody.

:10:15. > :10:20.The key thing about service changes is that they are properly consulted

:10:20. > :10:24.upon. We know that health services we need to alter going forward to

:10:25. > :10:31.the future whether it is modernisation or trying to will

:10:32. > :10:36.provide a progressive NHS service. When health boards are deciding or

:10:36. > :10:39.putting proposals forward, it is important that they involve health

:10:39. > :10:44.professionals on the ground and they involve doctors and patients

:10:44. > :10:47.and community health councils and take those people along with them

:10:47. > :10:52.in the decision-making process. When the dialogue does not occur

:10:52. > :10:58.then we see the problems we have heard in the clip. The Health

:10:58. > :11:04.Minister says she is listening and there are consultations. Is the

:11:04. > :11:12.Welsh Government getting it right? We have good delicious with the

:11:12. > :11:17.were Welsh Assembly Government. One of our major concerns is about the

:11:17. > :11:20.lack of doctors in Wales and we welcome recently the initiative to

:11:20. > :11:24.do a marketing campaign to introduce more doctors into Wales

:11:24. > :11:29.and some of that has underlie some other problems have boards have in

:11:29. > :11:34.being able to deliver services. There are clearly concerns about

:11:34. > :11:39.the way services are going to evolve in Wales. A sports have a

:11:39. > :11:42.difficult job at hand. The important thing is to maintain a

:11:42. > :11:46.dialogue and consults health officials and consult with the

:11:46. > :11:53.public to ensure any proposals for change are properly thought through.

:11:53. > :11:57.And getting the public on side. Since the report years ago that the

:11:58. > :12:01.status quo could not be maintained. Absolutely. We know there is a need

:12:01. > :12:09.to change services in Wales. There are some tricky decisions to be

:12:09. > :12:15.made. People are wedded to the way services are designed for that that

:12:15. > :12:20.is important and that is why we need to have a dialogue so that

:12:20. > :12:24.everyone is satisfied and we continue to provide safe and high

:12:25. > :12:28.quality accessible services to everybody in Wales.

:12:28. > :12:31.Still to come on Wales Today. It has a similar landscape. Wales

:12:31. > :12:36.looks to the Basque country for lessons in securing the future of

:12:36. > :12:46.the language. Three little words, but internet

:12:46. > :12:54.

:12:54. > :12:56.searches show 364 different Efforts to increase the amount of

:12:56. > :13:00.rubbish being recycled are being hindered because the Welsh

:13:00. > :13:02.Government and councils aren't working together well enough.

:13:02. > :13:07.That's according to the public spending watchdog, the Wales Audit

:13:07. > :13:09.Office. A new report says that even though Wales has the highest

:13:09. > :13:18.recycling rate of the UK nations, long-term improvements face

:13:18. > :13:21.substantial barriers. Mark Hannaby reports.

:13:21. > :13:26.This is how the Welsh government wants to collect waste for

:13:26. > :13:30.recycling. Each sort of rubbish is separated at the kerbside and

:13:30. > :13:33.compartmentalise reform it is taken away. The government doesn't like

:13:33. > :13:38.it when different sorts of waste are mixed, such as bottles, cans

:13:38. > :13:43.and cards in the same green bags. Some councils and private companies

:13:43. > :13:47.disagree, saying modern machinery can sort the waste mechanically.

:13:47. > :13:51.The report says differences in approach pose substantial barriers

:13:51. > :13:55.to raising the cycling rates. To achieve the higher levels that

:13:55. > :13:59.we aspire to, we do need some level of agreement and better co-

:13:59. > :14:03.operation between Welsh government and local authorities. We feel that

:14:03. > :14:07.at the moment, the discussion and some of these tensions are

:14:07. > :14:11.deflecting focus away from working together effectively to achieve the

:14:11. > :14:18.best possible results. Councils have been set a target of

:14:18. > :14:23.recycling 70% of all waste by a 2025. Rates have been rising,

:14:23. > :14:27.hitting 43.6% this year. But the report says councils are fixated

:14:27. > :14:31.with the cycling targets and unconvinced that government plans

:14:31. > :14:35.are appropriate. Some authorities fear that the Government might

:14:35. > :14:39.employed legislation all cuts in funding to force them to use

:14:39. > :14:42.approved recycling methods. I think the government are trying

:14:42. > :14:47.to do him little bit of micro management. I would advise them to

:14:47. > :14:50.say, let's agree on the outcome and where we arrive there, how we

:14:50. > :14:54.achieve that goal, is a matter for the council.

:14:54. > :15:04.The report says better guidance is needed from Welsh government. Most

:15:04. > :15:05.

:15:05. > :15:09.But which is the best way? The chief Executive of eras cycling

:15:09. > :15:14.organisation is adamant its best to separate waste at the kerbside.

:15:14. > :15:19.As far as I am concerned, there isn't a contest. Kerbside sorting

:15:19. > :15:22.is the only method, as has been proved over years. We have been a

:15:22. > :15:26.cycling for 30 years and wherever we have introduced that carefully,

:15:26. > :15:30.it has worked really well. The Welsh government points out

:15:30. > :15:33.recycling rates in Wales are higher than any other UK nation but the

:15:33. > :15:37.report also makes clear that recycling alone won't meet

:15:37. > :15:40.environmental targets. We need to produce less waste in the first

:15:40. > :15:43.place. A group of squatters evicted from

:15:43. > :15:46.an empty hotel in Swansea earlier this week say they're setting up an

:15:46. > :15:49.art studio and cafe in the old JT Morgan department store in the city

:15:49. > :15:53.which has been unoccupied for four years. Members of the Cwtch group

:15:53. > :15:56.say they're offering a useful space for the community. On Tuesday a

:15:56. > :16:00.judge ordered them to leave the Dolphin Hotel after they set up

:16:00. > :16:07.camp in the empty foyer. The group claim they entered the store

:16:07. > :16:10.legally through an unsecured window. There is a negative impression of

:16:10. > :16:14.squatters, associated with drugs and young people but I tell those

:16:15. > :16:18.people to come along when we are open and see what we do and see we

:16:18. > :16:20.are a community space full of hard- working people who love Swansea and

:16:20. > :16:22.want to make it a better place to stop

:16:22. > :16:25.A former detective, will challenge the Cardiff South and Penarth MP

:16:25. > :16:28.Alun Michael to become Labour's candidate for South Wales Police

:16:28. > :16:31.commissioner, the new role to oversee police work, which we ALL

:16:31. > :16:33.get to vote on in November. Paul Cannon, a councillor from the

:16:33. > :16:35.Rhondda, says he wanted to restore faith in the police. Welsh

:16:35. > :16:45.government cabinet ministers, Edwina Hart and Leighton Andrews

:16:45. > :16:47.

:16:47. > :16:49.are backing Mr Cannon's bid, as is And you can find a list of

:16:49. > :16:53.potential candidates who've declared an interest so far on our

:16:53. > :16:57.website. Former Wales footballer Robbie

:16:57. > :17:00.Savage is aiming to move into the hotel trade. He and a business

:17:00. > :17:04.partner are behind plans for a development near Ffos Las

:17:04. > :17:09.Racecourse in Carmarthenshire. An outline planning application for a

:17:09. > :17:12.35-bedroom hotel and restaurant has been submitted to the local council.

:17:12. > :17:20.A football camp or other sports facilities could also be built on

:17:20. > :17:23.This week we've been looking at the future of the Welsh language and

:17:23. > :17:26.it's not alone as a minority language facing a difficult future.

:17:26. > :17:29.The equivalent of �60 million is spent on promoting and developing

:17:29. > :17:37.the Basque language annually, while in Wales, the Welsh language board

:17:37. > :17:47.spends under �14 million. So how do the two languages compare? Owain

:17:47. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:51.Evans went to the Basque Country to With its mountainous terrain and

:17:51. > :17:57.miles of coastline, the Basque country has plenty in common with

:17:57. > :18:01.Wales. Both are home to a minority language, side by side with some of

:18:01. > :18:05.the world's most dominant languages. But it may not have survived if it

:18:05. > :18:10.wasn't for this man. He is an author, academic and politician who

:18:10. > :18:16.died last month. At eight service in San Sebastian, he was remembered

:18:16. > :18:20.by many Basques as a hero who keeps keep the language alive by defying

:18:20. > :18:30.the Spanish dictator. Over the decades, the Bath revival has gone

:18:30. > :18:30.

:18:30. > :18:35.from strength to strength. -- the Basque revival.

:18:35. > :18:40.Industrialisation in northern Spain was concentrated in the Basque

:18:40. > :18:44.country and they had a strong banking sector so although the

:18:44. > :18:49.Basque country, geographically, everything was on the periphery,

:18:49. > :18:55.the Basque country has always been a very strong player economically.

:18:55. > :19:00.How do the languages compare? Like Welsh, them are more than 600,000

:19:00. > :19:05.basks because in the Spanish Basque country. In both nations, the

:19:05. > :19:09.public sector has to provide services in those services. We have

:19:09. > :19:13.Welsh medium education and they have asked medium education. We

:19:13. > :19:18.have Welsh-language TV and radio and they have regional and local

:19:19. > :19:21.Basque TV as well as a daily newspaper. They spend around �50

:19:21. > :19:25.million more on developing and promoting the language than we do

:19:25. > :19:29.on Welsh. They have a constitutional right here to know

:19:29. > :19:34.and use Basque. Language campaigners say that doesn't always

:19:34. > :19:40.count for much. It is true that may be in some

:19:40. > :19:46.towns where bask speakers are more than the other, maybe you are right

:19:46. > :19:51.and it would be an advantage. If you go to the station, Hospital, Dr,

:19:52. > :19:58.or to the court, you must have a proactive action if you want to

:19:58. > :20:02.have your right granted. Despite the efforts of pioneers,

:20:02. > :20:05.the Basque language faces many challenges. Like Welsh and other

:20:05. > :20:09.minority languages, perhaps one of the greatest challenges is

:20:09. > :20:13.persuading people to use the language. The current Basque

:20:13. > :20:18.government may not be as keen to spend on the language as its

:20:18. > :20:22.predecessors and economic situation may also have an influence. For now,

:20:22. > :20:24.supporters of the language aren't too concerned about what is on the

:20:24. > :20:27.horizon. Sport, and at the Welsh Open

:20:27. > :20:29.snooker in Newport it's been a disappointing afternoon for the two

:20:29. > :20:32.remaining Welsh players. Matthew Stevens is out after losing to

:20:32. > :20:36.Scotland's Stephen Maguire by four sets to two and Mark Williams' good

:20:36. > :20:38.run of results was brought to an end by the former world number one,

:20:38. > :20:48.Ronnie O'Sullivan, who made it through to the quarter finals with

:20:48. > :20:50.

:20:50. > :20:56.He has been playing in consistently well so for me to get a victory,

:20:56. > :21:01.especially after the two years that I've had, just to get a victory of

:21:01. > :21:04.someone of his quality, in a major tournament, is good, you know.

:21:04. > :21:08.It's not the trickiest of Welsh place names but Betws-y-Coed seems

:21:08. > :21:13.to be confusing many. Research shows it's been spelt in internet

:21:13. > :21:16.search engines 364 different ways! So how confused are tourists

:21:16. > :21:18.getting? Matt Murray has been out to put people to the test.

:21:18. > :21:22.Set in Snowdonia National park, Betws Y Coed attracts thousands for

:21:22. > :21:25.it's stunning landscape but finding it in the first place is proving a

:21:25. > :21:33.struggle for many. Research shows it's been spelt in internet search

:21:33. > :21:38.engines 364 different ways! From Betsy Co Wed to simply people

:21:38. > :21:40.getting no further than Bets. So you wouldn't put your money on many

:21:40. > :21:44.spelling it right. Eileen Burtonwood, runs a guest house and

:21:44. > :21:52.is chair of district tourism association. She's been staggered

:21:52. > :21:58.by the amount of variations. Lots of people spelt it in several

:21:58. > :22:01.bizarre ways. Most of them, funnily enough, did get the first three

:22:01. > :22:07.letters. When you put it in the search engine, it will take you

:22:07. > :22:10.straight through and give you an idea. You get so confused. How can

:22:10. > :22:13.anybody find their way here? But plenty do. The streets of Betws

:22:13. > :22:15.Y Coed were flowing with holidaymakers today. Finding many

:22:15. > :22:25.attractions but their internet searches have proved less

:22:26. > :22:31.successful. Here is the list of the various ways people have spelt

:22:31. > :22:35.Betws-y-Coed and it goes on and on. 364 different ways on here but of

:22:35. > :22:39.course, there is only one correct way to spell it. Even though it's

:22:39. > :22:42.half-term holidays, there is no room for slacking. We thought we

:22:42. > :22:52.would have a spelling test to see if they could spell the place

:22:52. > :23:26.

:23:26. > :23:29.You missed out the hyphens but I will forgive that.

:23:29. > :23:34.So while the spelling might confuse many the scenery will certainly

:23:51. > :23:56.

:23:56. > :24:00.Betws-y-Coed is on my weather map this evening. Apparently Betws y

:24:00. > :24:03.Coed means Prayer House in the Wood in English. Now I'm sure some of

:24:03. > :24:06.you are praying that winter is over! Well it isn't! In Betws y

:24:06. > :24:09.Coed today the temperature reached nine Celsius but by Sunday

:24:09. > :24:12.temperatures will have dropped by a few degrees. In fact it's going to

:24:12. > :24:14.turn colder everywhere over the weekend with some rain, frost and

:24:14. > :24:17.sunshine. Tonight mostly cloudy. A little rain or drizzle. Some hill

:24:17. > :24:20.fog as well. Otherwise dry and a mild night. These temperatures are

:24:23. > :24:26.Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure over the Bay of Biscay

:24:26. > :24:29.keeping Spain and Portugal dry but further north fronts will move in
