:00:05. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. The top story tonight:
:00:09. > :00:11.Mohammed Abdin is jailed for eight months. He was arrested at a
:00:11. > :00:21.Cardiff Community Centre after an operation by Anti-Terror Police.
:00:21. > :00:25.His father vents his anger outside court. I tell you what, er he is
:00:25. > :00:35.one of the brightest boys. Just because he has a beard and his
:00:35. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:44.Tonight's other headlines: While a fifth of our Peacocks stores shut
:00:44. > :00:47.their doors, the new owners say they'll be keeping the company
:00:47. > :00:49.Welsh. They've had their say. After the
:00:49. > :00:52.final hustings tonight, members will begin voting for their
:00:52. > :00:55.favourite to become Plaid Cymru's leader.
:00:55. > :01:02.Our first dedicated hovercraft rescue service designed to reach
:01:02. > :01:06.the places that lifeboats can't go. And as we build up to a big weekend
:01:06. > :01:16.of sport we hear from the three men with the hopes of the nation on
:01:16. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:19.Good Evening. A Muslim man arrested at Canton Community Centre after an
:01:19. > :01:24.operation by Anti-Terror Police has been jailed for a total of eight
:01:24. > :01:29.months at Cardiff Crown Court. He threatened Police and council
:01:29. > :01:31.officials, saying he'd shoot them. This happened just days after he
:01:31. > :01:37.received a suspended sentence for affray at the Muslims Against
:01:37. > :01:41.Crusades march on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Nick Palit
:01:41. > :01:46.reports. Mohammed Abdin, 21-years-old and,
:01:46. > :01:52.according to his family, a university graduate. But also a man
:01:52. > :01:55.who had, on two separate occasions, threatened to kill the police. The
:01:55. > :02:00.first time last September on this march by a banned group of
:02:00. > :02:05.extremists called Muslims Against Crusades. Then again, last month,
:02:05. > :02:08.at this community centre in Cardiff. Counter terrorism officers raided a
:02:08. > :02:18.meeting of another group, The Supporters Of Tawheed, claiming
:02:18. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:22.they were linked to Muslims Against Crusades. The court heard that when
:02:22. > :02:26.there police tried to break up the meeting, Mohammed Abdin became
:02:26. > :02:30.aggressive. He shouted at police officers saying he will cut their
:02:30. > :02:33.heads of ensued them. Mr Abdin was already on a suspended
:02:33. > :02:37.prison sentence after the Muslims Against Crusades demonstration in
:02:37. > :02:41.London. It was held on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. When arrested,
:02:41. > :02:45.he told a police officer, "I'm going to hunt you down and kill you
:02:45. > :02:48.- you're going to burn to death." Today, as his father and sister
:02:48. > :02:58.left court, they were adamant he'd never taken part in any Muslim
:02:58. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:07.Against Crusades march and had just got mixed up in the crowd. No, no,
:03:07. > :03:12.no! I am telling year, he did not go to the march. He protected his
:03:12. > :03:17.rights, freedom of speech. It is like triggering something, when you
:03:17. > :03:22.press the button. That is what happened to my son, they knew when
:03:22. > :03:25.to press the button. They knew that if they do this they get him.
:03:25. > :03:28.Today, that original suspended jail sentence for the London offence was
:03:28. > :03:32.enforced - Mohammed Abdin following proceedings via a video link from
:03:32. > :03:35.Cardiff Prison. The Supporters Of Tawheed, the group whose meetings
:03:35. > :03:40.he'd been attending in Cardiff, is now banned from all council
:03:40. > :03:43.facilities. But Abu Hajar, its leader, says that far from being
:03:43. > :03:48.extremists, they're just a group of Muslims who get together to study
:03:48. > :03:52.the Koran. He says he had no idea that Abdin was on a suspended
:03:52. > :03:56.sentence. Mohammed Abdin and his family live
:03:56. > :04:05.in the Grangetown area of Cardiff. His father says Mohammed had a job
:04:05. > :04:10.spray- painting cars. But claims he was sacked after this latest arrest.
:04:10. > :04:16.I tell you what, he is one of the brightest boys. Just because he as
:04:16. > :04:22.a beard and his Muslim. He is a graduate. Because of something that
:04:22. > :04:27.happened, he got sacked from his work and got paid wrongly because
:04:27. > :04:32.he is a Muslim. My whole family has been destroyed by the stupid thing.
:04:32. > :04:39.There is nothing you can prove that me or my family are criminals.
:04:39. > :04:44.Nothing! Sentencing Mohammed Abdin to four months, the Justice said
:04:44. > :04:48.that this country cherished freedom of speech, but what was not
:04:48. > :04:51.permitted was threatening unlawful behaviour.
:04:51. > :04:54.The new Scottish owners of the retail chain Peacocks say it's
:04:54. > :04:56.important to them that it's seen as a business that's based in Wales.
:04:56. > :04:59.Edinburgh Woollen Mill bought the firm out of administration
:04:59. > :05:07.yesterday; but 11 of its stores in Wales have closed their doors
:05:07. > :05:13.already. Here's our business correspondent.
:05:13. > :05:17.New day, new owners at the Peacock store this morning. 80% of its
:05:17. > :05:22.Welsh will survive the axe. In this town there is some relief there
:05:22. > :05:25.will not be another empty unit on the High Street. Peacocks is a
:05:26. > :05:31.well-known name and I am glad they are staying open and, otherwise it
:05:31. > :05:36.is another nail in the coffin. town at the moment is like a ghost
:05:36. > :05:42.town so I am very pleased it is staying. But the doors went open
:05:43. > :05:47.everywhere. There had been casualties including this one and
:05:47. > :05:52.two stores in Cardiff. So what do we know about Edinburgh Woollen
:05:52. > :05:58.Mill? The group has around 800 stores and behind the original
:05:58. > :06:04.image of tweed, lies an ambitious firm. They took over Jane Norman
:06:04. > :06:09.last year and a had other acquisitions in the past. The
:06:09. > :06:13.retail industry is polarising. The sad thing is that 3000 jobs will be
:06:13. > :06:17.lost from Peacocks, but the good news is 6000 will be protected.
:06:17. > :06:21.There were fears that if another British-based retailer bought
:06:21. > :06:24.Peacock's it would put jobs at risk because they already have
:06:24. > :06:30.headquarters and distribution networks. Those concerns are less
:06:30. > :06:34.of an issue now because, as much as anything, Edinburgh Woollen Mill is
:06:34. > :06:38.such a different type of retail at then Peacocks, this store is a
:06:38. > :06:42.world away from the kinds of Peacocks stores you see on the High
:06:42. > :06:46.Street. As pointed out, the company has a
:06:46. > :06:49.huge amount of work to do rebuilding a supply chains and
:06:49. > :06:51.morale. Charlotte Church has settled her
:06:52. > :06:55.claim against News Group Newspapers, for phone hacking. The singer had
:06:55. > :06:57.claimed that 33 articles in the News Of The World were obtained by
:06:57. > :06:59.hacking into her family's voicemails.
:06:59. > :07:02.Pre-tax profits at the homebuilder Redrow, have seen a significant
:07:02. > :07:08.rise for the six months to December. The Flintshire-based company made
:07:08. > :07:18.�15.3m - up 80%. The firms says the turnaround is down to its strategy
:07:18. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:24.of building more family homes rather than flats. Local councils
:07:24. > :07:29.have been told that extravagant legal costs of defending
:07:29. > :07:35.councillors must end. Wales public service ombudsman says councils
:07:35. > :07:39.must introduce a �10,000 cap on legal costs. BBC Wales can reveal
:07:39. > :07:43.that one council currently based is a potential six-figure bill for one
:07:44. > :07:48.case. Local democracy in action - or
:07:48. > :07:55.Wales has 22 councils and hundreds of councillors, but what happens
:07:55. > :08:01.when one is accused of breaking the rules? Then, in serious cases,
:08:01. > :08:05.costly tribunals can result. There have been 43 since 2006 and it is
:08:05. > :08:09.common for councils to pay for legal defence. A single case in
:08:09. > :08:14.Flintshire has lasted over a year with potential bills stretching
:08:14. > :08:19.over six figures. At least nine local authorities
:08:19. > :08:23.offer uncapped a defence cost. The Public Service Ombudsman argues
:08:23. > :08:28.that his extravagant. He says authorities must put a �10,000 cap
:08:28. > :08:32.on backing individual cases. think we have seen cases where
:08:32. > :08:37.costs are disproportionate to the subject-matter. That is clearly not
:08:37. > :08:44.a sensible use of public funds at a time when councils are hard-pressed
:08:44. > :08:48.in times of funds for delivering services. Those concerns are shared
:08:49. > :08:55.Baikal sergeant. He wants the new system before the council elections.
:08:55. > :09:00.The Welsh government association is also considering the issue. 10,000
:09:00. > :09:04.maybe the amount that is absolutely right, it depends on the nature of
:09:04. > :09:10.the accusations. We need to look at it and put a gate keeping process
:09:10. > :09:14.in place. That may involve an independent committee. With service
:09:14. > :09:19.budgets under pressure, many believe it is more difficult than
:09:19. > :09:29.other -- than ever to administer support for councillors accused of
:09:29. > :09:33.wrongdoing. The demand for change is only likely to grow. Still to
:09:33. > :09:38.come: How it celebrities are bought on Twitter is helping the campaign
:09:38. > :09:42.to save the community centre. And the Welsh team on their way to
:09:42. > :09:48.Twickenham ahead of their clash against England and the bid for the
:09:48. > :09:53.Triple Crown. After two weeks of debate across
:09:53. > :09:59.the country, it is finally time for Plaid Cymru members to vote for
:09:59. > :10:04.their new leader. In the next hour, the three candidates take part in
:10:04. > :10:10.the final hasting of the campaign. That still leaves three weeks of
:10:10. > :10:14.campaigning before the winner is announced.
:10:15. > :10:18.Despite appearances, this is a serious time for Plaid Cymru as it
:10:18. > :10:22.looks to elect a new leader. There the last fortnight, candidates have
:10:22. > :10:27.been making their case to the party faithful in hustings like this one.
:10:27. > :10:32.This is a first for Plaid Cymru. The only one of eight hustings to
:10:32. > :10:37.open doors to the public. Any card- carrying members can vote, but
:10:37. > :10:41.Plaid Cymru are looking to widen the debate because not only are
:10:41. > :10:46.they voting far are party leader, but a potential leader of Wales.
:10:46. > :10:51.So he could that be? There are three members to choose from. Elin
:10:51. > :10:57.Jones is a former rural affairs minister. She enjoys the support of
:10:57. > :11:02.the majority of her fellow assembly members. Critics suggest she is a
:11:02. > :11:09.continuity candidate. I consider I have the right blend of character,
:11:09. > :11:15.experience and an -- ambition. I consider myself a bold politician
:11:15. > :11:22.willing to take risks. If elected, Leanne Wood's leadership would be
:11:22. > :11:28.the first non-Welsh speaker. With no experience of frontline politics,
:11:28. > :11:32.what is her vision? I believe that Plaid Cymru should prioritise the
:11:32. > :11:36.economy and I think we need to make sure we have a party that is in
:11:36. > :11:42.good shape to put together a long- term economic plan. This is
:11:42. > :11:46.familiar territory for Lord Ellis Thomas. He led the party 10 years
:11:46. > :11:51.ago. Where some see experience, others fear it would be a step
:11:51. > :11:57.backwards. No, it will be a step forward otherwise I would not be
:11:57. > :12:02.standing. My commitment is to ensure that the party extends the
:12:02. > :12:07.base of its support. With no big- name endorsements, it seems that
:12:07. > :12:12.the party grandee is out of the race. Nothing can be taken for
:12:12. > :12:17.granted, so where can they expect to pick up votes? With Leanne Wood
:12:17. > :12:22.you would say that geographically she has support in the south in the
:12:22. > :12:27.valleys and young supporters. Lord Ellis Thomas, particularly his home
:12:27. > :12:32.patch. Supporters tend to be older and male. Elin Jones, I think she
:12:32. > :12:36.will pick votes up everywhere. Members will receive ballot paper
:12:36. > :12:41.shortly and have three weeks to cast votes before the winner is
:12:41. > :12:47.announced on 15th March. And 18 year-old man has been
:12:47. > :12:53.arrested in connection with a fire at the Asda store. Last night blaze
:12:53. > :13:00.started in a food aisle. There were 60 customers and 25 staff inside,
:13:00. > :13:05.but no one was injured. The shop re opens tomorrow morning.
:13:05. > :13:09.The UK culture minister has been holding talks on the future of
:13:09. > :13:16.broadcasting. As part of their visit he took a tour of the new
:13:16. > :13:26.drama village. He has been speaking to BBC why Wales, ITV Wales and
:13:26. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:34.boomerang. He has said that Broadcasting is something that
:13:34. > :13:41.binds all the nations together. Each nation should have a NICE --
:13:41. > :13:44.different broadcasting needs and desires. Wales now has its first
:13:44. > :13:46.dedicated Hovercraft Rescue service to help locate and recover people
:13:46. > :13:49.trapped on sandbanks or stuck in mud. The charity, based in
:13:49. > :13:51.Flintshire, will work alongside the lifeboat and fire service in
:13:51. > :13:57.emergencies. Matthew Richards is down on the waterfront for us,
:13:57. > :14:00.Matthew. Thanks Sian. These impressive machines have only just
:14:00. > :14:02.gone into full service but have already rescued a number of people.
:14:02. > :14:05.They'll complement the existing coastal rescue agencies and can
:14:05. > :14:15.also be used in flooded streets. I've been getting a close-up look
:14:15. > :14:21.The daytrippers down on Talacre Beach near Prestatyn today got more
:14:21. > :14:24.than they bargained for down on the sand. Hovercraft Search and Rescue
:14:24. > :14:33.UK have saved people from flooded homes and even quicksand here on
:14:33. > :14:39.this stretch of coastline. benefit is that it does not need
:14:39. > :14:48.water, it can go through anything. It is a fantastic advantage.
:14:48. > :14:51.Obviously, it is water, it will float. Ith they do not have enough
:14:52. > :14:55.water, we will assist. After several months in training the crew
:14:55. > :14:59.based in Flint are on standby to ride to the rescue. These �30,000
:14:59. > :15:06.vehicles can be a bit of a handful. It is pretty difficult to start
:15:06. > :15:12.with, but I have been with them for 15 years, and I know the ins and
:15:12. > :15:17.outs of them. It is like driving a car on ice with no brakes and no
:15:17. > :15:20.steering! That is the way it is. When you have got to stop, you have
:15:20. > :15:23.got to stop. The advantage of these machines is they can operate at
:15:23. > :15:25.very low tide and across sandbanks which could be inaccessible for
:15:25. > :15:28.inshore lifeboats or rescuers on foot. The hovercraft will be
:15:28. > :15:33.dispatched by the coastguard if its appropriate in assisting the local
:15:33. > :15:35.RNLI and fire crews. The powerful fans which lift the craft have
:15:35. > :15:43.certain advantages over outboard motors particularly in flooded
:15:44. > :15:53.areas. This is a real ambition being fulfilled. The troubles at 60
:15:54. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :15:59.mph on land. The ride is very smooth. These are likely to prove
:15:59. > :16:06.life-savers for anyone unfortunate need -- to need their help. I'm
:16:06. > :16:13.feeling a bit windswept. Explain to me first of all, why is this area
:16:13. > :16:19.it suited for hovercraft? It is suited, especially because of the
:16:19. > :16:27.mud flat. The hovercraft are designed to work in these locations,
:16:27. > :16:35.and they really do work well. Aspects of both mean they have to
:16:35. > :16:40.stay in the channels. With past experience, it can be difficult for
:16:40. > :16:47.them, but this is an export -- extra resource to be called from --
:16:47. > :16:55.called for in the estuaries. have been involved in rescues for
:16:55. > :17:02.training? Yes, we did have one on the peninsula, and we were called
:17:02. > :17:10.to a man who had been in a collision with a jet bike, and we
:17:10. > :17:14.have to deal with that scenario. There was concerns for spinal
:17:14. > :17:24.injuries, but we were capable of dealing with it, and the tender he
:17:24. > :17:25.
:17:25. > :17:34.was OK. Thank you very much. Let's hope they save many lives. Back to
:17:34. > :17:37.Celebrity tweeter Stephen Fry is urging his four million followers
:17:37. > :17:40.to donate money to help build a community centre in Glyncoch near
:17:40. > :17:43.Pontypridd. The QI host is calling on fellow Twitter users to help
:17:43. > :17:53.raise the final �30,000 need by the community, before time runs out on
:17:53. > :17:55.
:17:56. > :18:00.March 30. Caroline Evans has been to the estate to find out more.
:18:00. > :18:07.Jobs are hard to find here, and with the others in the class,
:18:07. > :18:12.Gareth is training for a construction Certificate. I am
:18:12. > :18:16.hoping this will give me something extra to an employer. From the
:18:16. > :18:19.outside, it is not difficult to see why they need a new building. For
:18:19. > :18:25.the last seven years, the community has been fund-raising. They have
:18:25. > :18:32.raised more than �700,000. But they are �30,000 short. Unless they find
:18:32. > :18:37.it by the end of March, they will look forward to more used in this
:18:37. > :18:42.hall, because they will lose the grants. When Stephen Fry got
:18:42. > :18:49.involved, they could not believe their luck. It has been fantastic.
:18:49. > :18:55.It has meant so much to the community. Stephen Fry is not just
:18:55. > :19:03.a star of television. He has a million -- will million fans who
:19:03. > :19:07.follow him on Twitter. It is vital if they are to make their March
:19:07. > :19:11.deadline. This man has lived here all his life. He says he does not
:19:11. > :19:21.know much about weeding, but he knows how much a new centre is
:19:21. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:28.needed here. The centre is 40 years old, and it is oversubscribed. The
:19:28. > :19:35.new centre would mean everything, really. No one has asleep spoken to
:19:35. > :19:42.Stephen Fry. He picked it up after it was highlighted by a London
:19:42. > :19:52.group coup was involved in a project. They have invited Stephen

:19:53. > :19:56.Fry to open the new centre. Now Thanks Sian. There are serious
:19:56. > :20:00.prizes up for grabs for Welsh sportsmen this weekend - the Triple

:22:39. > :22:43.be trying to make it three out of three this weekend. In the last few
:22:43. > :22:50.moments, some breaking news. James Kirk has not recovered from
:22:50. > :23:00.chickenpox, so it he will not play. Stephen Jones will take his place.
:23:00. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:35.Tomorrow night, Clare will be live at Twickenham. We will be looking
:23:35. > :23:38.forward to the fantastic weekend of sport. Hollywood actress Minnie
:23:38. > :23:41.Driver has returned to her Swansea roots for the film Hunky Dory,
:23:41. > :23:44.which had its Welsh premiere last night. The film - set in a South
:23:44. > :23:47.Wales comprehensive school - has been produced by the man who
:23:47. > :23:57.brought us Billy Elliot - and features a host of home-grown
:23:57. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:02.talent, on both sides of the camera. I want to make a show that William
:24:02. > :24:05.Shakespeare and David Bowie would be proud of. Swansea, 1976 - during
:24:05. > :24:08.the long hot summer, a drama teacher tries to convince her
:24:08. > :24:11.pupils to stage a rock and roll version of Shakespeare's The
:24:11. > :24:14.Tempest. That's the plot of Hunky Dory - and taking the lead is Oscar
:24:14. > :24:19.nominated actress Minnie Driver. Although she was born in London,
:24:19. > :24:25.her father hails from Swansea so was this a film close to her heart?
:24:25. > :24:30.Yes, it was on some level. Definitely. I have never been to
:24:30. > :24:34.Swansea before, and it was amazing going there and seeing where he
:24:34. > :24:37.grew up and seeing the house he was born in. It was amazing. Hunky Dory
:24:38. > :24:39.was filmed on location in Swansea and Port Talbot - with an almost
:24:40. > :24:45.entirely homegrown cast. It's yet another independent Welsh
:24:45. > :24:48.production which is getting our film industry noticed. In the last
:24:48. > :24:51.18 months, we've seen World War Two drama Resistance, the Bafta
:24:51. > :24:53.nominated Submarine - which was also shot in Swansea - and the
:24:53. > :25:03.Welsh language film Patagonia, who's director - Carmarthenshire
:25:03. > :25:10.born Marc Evans - is also at the I don't know whether it is a trend
:25:10. > :25:20.or whether these blips happen. We ended up at Sundance at the same
:25:20. > :25:24.
:25:24. > :25:28.time a few years ago. I don't know whether it is sickle. Hunky Dory
:25:28. > :25:31.has been billed as a fun, feelgood film. And it shares the same as
:25:31. > :25:33.producer as the hit movie Billy Elliot, so box office expectations
:25:33. > :25:37.are running high. Cinemagoers can judge for themselves when the film
:25:37. > :25:40.goes on general realease on the 2nd of March. The weather hasn't been
:25:40. > :25:45.hunky dory in Swansea today but in some parts of the country it has.
:25:45. > :25:55.some parts of the country it has. Derek? That's right. Mixed fortunes

:26:01. > :26:03.parts of north and east. Richard Hopkins took this snap looking

:26:11. > :26:21.Fahrenheit. Warmer than Crete and the warmest February day in
