:00:23. > :00:32.Also tonight: 26 years after the Chernobyl disaster, restrictions on
:00:32. > :00:36.more than 300 farms across Wales will finally be lifted this summer.

:01:00. > :01:07.Good evening. A headteacher has been jailed for 16 months for
:01:07. > :01:10.stealing more than �53,000 from his school to fund a gambling addiction.
:01:10. > :01:14.Andrew Wilkie spent the money, which had been meant for an
:01:14. > :01:17.extension for the school, as well as his family's savings. The judge
:01:17. > :01:24.told him he'd destroyed his career, his reputation and his marriage.
:01:24. > :01:26.Rhodri Lewis reports. Andrew Wilkie had worked at
:01:27. > :01:32.Southdown Primary in Buckley in Flintshire for 17 years, the last
:01:32. > :01:36.three as head. He was highly regarded and the school was very
:01:36. > :01:40.successful. But he became depressed after he was suspended following an
:01:40. > :01:43.allegation of a sexual nature by a child. No action was taken, but he
:01:43. > :01:48.turned to online poker gambling, often in the early hours of the
:01:48. > :01:53.morning. The court heard how Mr Wilkie's use of poker websites
:01:53. > :01:58.spiralled out of control. He first lost his family's savings of
:01:58. > :02:03.�90,000. He then raised �70,000 by re-mortgaging his home without his
:02:03. > :02:08.wife knowing. Finally he turned to a special charity fund at the
:02:08. > :02:10.school, from which he took another �53,000. That wasn't subject to
:02:10. > :02:15.normal auditing, but after a tip off, an emergency audit was
:02:15. > :02:23.organised and Wilkie was forced to own up. He went home and told his
:02:23. > :02:28.wife they were ruined. This has been a difficult time for the
:02:28. > :02:33.school. As governors and staff, our aim is the well-being of the
:02:33. > :02:36.children and to keep the school moving forward. Andrew Wilkie's
:02:36. > :02:40.barrister told the court he was an outstanding member of society who
:02:40. > :02:42.had been brought to this situation through events outside his control.
:02:42. > :02:45.Sentencing him, the judge said he'd destroyed his career, his
:02:45. > :02:51.reputation and his marriage, and money that ought to have been used
:02:51. > :02:58.to benefit pupils had now been lost. Ingrid Wallace is a gambling
:02:58. > :03:04.intervention worker with the Cardiff charity, Pen Yr Enfys. We
:03:04. > :03:10.have heard a tragic story. How big a problem is online gambling?
:03:10. > :03:16.not sure how big a problem it is on line but it has many faces,
:03:16. > :03:23.gambling. There is a range of bookmakers available along all the
:03:23. > :03:31.streets. There are casinos, online gambling, obviously, so gamble as
:03:31. > :03:34.such actually takes quite a focus at the moment. -- gambling. I am
:03:34. > :03:43.quite pleased about that because we have just been able to set up this
:03:43. > :03:49.new service for the south of Wales. It has actually been done through
:03:49. > :03:55.the addiction recovery agency in Bristol. And in partnership, they
:03:55. > :04:05.are in the process of providing a pilot for the south of Wales. It is,
:04:05. > :04:05.
:04:05. > :04:14.I think, fantastic. There has been in 2010 a survey done by the
:04:14. > :04:20.British gambling prevalence survey. How do you help people who come to
:04:20. > :04:26.you would be a problem? Actually, we have based service where we are
:04:26. > :04:32.offering brief intervention for about six sessions. But my role is
:04:32. > :04:36.actually to talk and the train other services throughout Cardiff.
:04:36. > :04:41.And to help people to become more aware and to actually do regular
:04:41. > :04:50.screening for gambling. We are not really enough -- know exactly how
:04:50. > :04:55.broadly spread it is. We believe there are quite a number of people.
:04:55. > :04:58.Thank you for coming in and telling us about it this evening. The
:04:58. > :05:02.bodies of a man and a woman, both from Cardiff, have been found at
:05:02. > :05:04.the bottom of cliffs at Beachy Head in Sussex. It's believed they
:05:04. > :05:07.arrived at the popular tourist attraction yesterday morning.
:05:07. > :05:09.Police are appealing for anyone who saw them to come forward.
:05:09. > :05:14.Restrictions on more than 300 Welsh farms, introduced following the
:05:14. > :05:17.Chernobyl nuclear disaster 26 years ago, will be lifted. The monitoring
:05:17. > :05:23.of radiation levels in sheep and restrictions on their movement will
:05:23. > :05:26.end in June. Hill-farms in Wales are among the last in the UK to see
:05:26. > :05:32.the controls removed. Food Safety experts say they are satisfied
:05:32. > :05:35.there is no risk to consumers. The Chernobyl nuclear accident in
:05:35. > :05:45.1986 sent radioactive material into the atmosphere which affected land
:05:45. > :05:48.where sheep grazed. Since then, regular monitoring has been carried
:05:48. > :05:51.out to make sure the amount of radiation in sheep falls within
:05:51. > :05:54.acceptable levels. Restrictions have been phased out in Scotland
:05:54. > :05:57.and Northern Ireland, with only North Wales and Cumbria still
:05:58. > :05:59.affected. But after a three month consultation programme, the Food
:06:00. > :06:09.Standards Agency says it's confident that lifting restrictions
:06:10. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:12.on moving sheep won't impact consumers. Our assessment has been
:06:12. > :06:17.conducted to international standards and has been discussed
:06:17. > :06:21.openly. The result of the assessment is very clear. The risks
:06:21. > :06:25.are now very low. It'll also make a difference for farmers like Glyn
:06:25. > :06:31.Roberts who's been working under the limits since 1986. There will
:06:31. > :06:36.be less bureaucracy. There will be less paperwork. It was about layer
:06:36. > :06:42.of paperwork that we already have enough of. But after saying that,
:06:42. > :06:46.we were glad to do that to make sure that everything was OK for a
:06:47. > :06:50.our provider. The way the radiation levels are monitored has been
:06:50. > :06:53.updated. Food safety experts and farmers say this more accurate
:06:53. > :06:55.measurement shows there'll be no risk to public health from eating
:06:55. > :06:59.meat which comes from affected hill-farms. For those who've worked
:06:59. > :07:02.hard to promote Welsh lamb as a premium product, this should be a
:07:02. > :07:05.further stamp of approval. The restrictions have been in place for
:07:05. > :07:10.public health reasons and farmers have understood that but it has
:07:10. > :07:13.been a cloud hanging over them for the last 25 years. At long last,
:07:13. > :07:15.that cloud has been lifted. Investigations are taking place
:07:15. > :07:18.after an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness at a
:07:19. > :07:21.school in Lampeter. 145 children and 12 members of staff at Ysgol
:07:21. > :07:26.Gynradd Ffynnonbedr have been found with symptoms like vomiting and
:07:26. > :07:34.diarrhoea, since the beginning of the month. The school will be
:07:34. > :07:36.closed voluntarily tomorrow and as a precaution.
:07:36. > :07:40.Headteachers on Anglesey are concerned that a contract to cut
:07:40. > :07:42.grass on school land, has been given to a company based in England.
:07:42. > :07:45.A meeting of the Anglesey Junior School Head-teachers Federation,
:07:45. > :07:49.heard many staff members had refused to hand over their keys to
:07:49. > :07:52.the company to give them access. Anglesey County Council says in
:07:52. > :07:57.order to comply with European Legislation it had to advertise the
:07:57. > :08:00.contract across Europe. Could public sector workers in
:08:00. > :08:03.Wales eventually be paid according to where they live? The prospect
:08:03. > :08:07.moved a step closer yesterday when the Chancellor, George Osborne, set
:08:07. > :08:09.out plans for regional pay in the Budget. It's alarmed many people
:08:09. > :08:19.here, with Finance Minister Jane Hutt saying it would be socially
:08:19. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:25.divisive. Here's our political reporter Mark Hannaby. Public
:08:25. > :08:30.sector workers that organisations like he'd DVLA in Swansea are
:08:30. > :08:36.employed according to National pay scales. Someone doing the same job
:08:36. > :08:41.elsewhere in the UK is paid the same wage. The cost of living
:08:41. > :08:44.varies from place to place. The UK government argues that has led to
:08:44. > :08:48.public sector wages being higher than they should be in Wales,
:08:48. > :08:58.making it more difficult for private companies to hire the best
:08:58. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:03.staff. We have asked the independent pay
:09:03. > :09:07.review bodies to look at this issue. Today we are publishing the
:09:07. > :09:13.evidence. And some departments will have the option of moving to a more
:09:13. > :09:17.local pay for those civil servants. The view from the Wash government
:09:17. > :09:25.could not be more different. Ministers are opposed to regional
:09:25. > :09:31.pay -- the Welsh government. does not make social sense. It is
:09:31. > :09:37.socially divisive. I believe in a UK public service. It should not
:09:37. > :09:42.matter where you live. It will divide and drive down our public
:09:42. > :09:46.service workforce. The Chancellor's view is backed by some business
:09:46. > :09:49.representatives. They believe that if it was determined by local Job
:09:49. > :09:56.markets, they would have more chance of attracting the best
:09:56. > :10:01.employees. At the end of the day, we want to balance what we as a
:10:01. > :10:04.public sector employer in Wales, you are not in the best situation
:10:04. > :10:08.to bring the business forward and increase the employment because
:10:08. > :10:18.there is a public sector that is actually able to dangle a strong
:10:18. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:27.There is a danger that we will institutionalise low pay in Wales.
:10:27. > :10:30.Wales already has the lowest wages in the UK and there is a danger
:10:30. > :10:34.that Wales will become the low-pay ghetto of the United Kingdom.
:10:34. > :10:39.An overdue move to boost private companies or a socially divisive
:10:39. > :10:43.disaster. Whatever your view, moves towards regional pay are likely to
:10:43. > :10:49.deepen divisions between the trade unions and the UK government and
:10:49. > :10:52.between ministers at either end of the M4 corridor.
:10:52. > :10:56.There's more on the issue of regional pay on Dragon's Eye, over

:10:59. > :11:05.Cymru leader, Leanne Wood is preparing to address the party
:11:05. > :11:14.faithful at their spring conference in Carmarthenshire. Let's join our
:11:14. > :11:19.Welsh Affairs Editor, Vaughan Roderick, at Ffos Las.
:11:19. > :11:24.Yes, the racecourse is a matter for rich environment for political
:11:24. > :11:29.journalists and ministers. Leanne Wood is here already. You will have
:11:29. > :11:34.to get off at a sprint at the local elections. It will be a major theme
:11:34. > :11:38.of this conference. They will be tough? I think they will be tough
:11:38. > :11:44.elections for us. We will be doing whatever we can to hold the local
:11:44. > :11:50.authorities that we hold. We have a proud record where we have got
:11:50. > :11:54.Plaid Cymru members running on boards. But we do realise that
:11:54. > :12:00.people are looking at the wider economic situation and that is why
:12:00. > :12:09.this conference will also of the message about the economy for you
:12:09. > :12:12.say you are concentrating on the economy.
:12:12. > :12:18.We can say it with much more conviction. You have to remember
:12:18. > :12:22.that when Labour were in government, they introduced regional pay.
:12:22. > :12:27.Regional pay would be a disaster for Wales. We have already had
:12:27. > :12:32.figures showing that West Wales and the valleys is getting poorer. We
:12:32. > :12:37.can expect workers in Wales to be in the long run paid 18 % less. I
:12:37. > :12:40.have some sympathy with the argument that workers in the
:12:40. > :12:43.private sector are not learning enough but the answer is not to
:12:43. > :12:50.drive to the bottom with wages, it is to raise private sector wages.
:12:50. > :12:58.That is the challenge. You have asked Adam Price will draw up an
:12:58. > :13:02.economic plan. Adam is one of a range of people
:13:02. > :13:07.who will be working in 18 with me. Clearly, he has a great
:13:07. > :13:10.contribution to make. He will bring together a group of people to put
:13:10. > :13:17.together a long-term economic plan. What is clear to me is what has
:13:17. > :13:23.happened in the past has not worked. We are getting poorer. It is not
:13:23. > :13:28.inevitable. We should be ambitious about what we can achieve. Wales
:13:28. > :13:33.can be good. That is the kind of message they will be hearing this

:13:52. > :13:55.There's more debate on the future of Abergavenny livestock market
:13:55. > :13:58.today after the town's civic society publishes a report claiming
:13:58. > :14:01.it would be cheaper for the council to redevelop the site, than build a
:14:01. > :14:04.new market elsewhere. Monmouthshire county council have agreed to sell
:14:04. > :14:08.the present livestock market site to a supermarket company, but local
:14:08. > :14:15.campaigners want to retain the mart in Abergavenny. More from our
:14:15. > :14:19.environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd.
:14:19. > :14:23.This livestock market has a rich history. It has been on the spot
:14:23. > :14:27.since 1863 and is now the only market left in Monmouthshire.

:14:39. > :14:44.can't we saw these buildings out and keep the market here? You would
:14:44. > :14:48.prefer to redevelop this. Yes. it is outside town, it would be
:14:48. > :14:55.fine. It will -- if it was closer to the M4, it would be convenient
:14:56. > :15:03.but I am happy to come into town. new one. A better location, better
:15:03. > :15:06.for the animals travelling. Shorter distance. It will be modern.
:15:06. > :15:15.Redeveloping the livestock market in the town centre would cost 2.2
:15:15. > :15:18.�5 million. The council's new livestock market
:15:18. > :15:23.at this green field site 10 miles away could cost around double that
:15:24. > :15:31.sum. We believe there is a financial benefit in the short term
:15:31. > :15:34.and in the longer term. If you were to look over the lifetime of one
:15:34. > :15:40.alternative market, let's say 50 years, you were talking about many
:15:40. > :15:50.millions. The council leader tells me the proposed new site will have
:15:50. > :15:54.better facilities for farmers. will build a new cattle market and
:15:54. > :16:01.no doubt any surplus money would go towards some of our plans for

:16:06. > :16:09.But money is not the driver. council has not responded so far to
:16:09. > :16:19.this report. But it has given planning permission to build a

:16:20. > :16:24.supermarket and a new library on the live stocks -- livestock site.
:16:24. > :16:30.Some in Abergavenny argue that the old law protected keeping a
:16:30. > :16:33.livestock market in the town. The wrangling over this historic bit of
:16:33. > :16:37.land is far from over. They provide families, and communities, with a
:16:37. > :16:40.place to honour their fallen heroes. But in the UK it's estimated that
:16:40. > :16:45.one war memorial a week is being targeted by thieves, looking to
:16:45. > :16:47.remove metal plaques to sell on for scrap. Now a nationwide campaign is
:16:47. > :16:52.underway to try to protect our memorials and catch the criminals
:16:52. > :16:56.who vandalise them. Carwyn Jones reports.
:16:56. > :17:00.They tell stories of courage and sacrifice. But increasingly war
:17:00. > :17:03.memorials are seen as fair game for metal thieves. This monument in
:17:03. > :17:09.Mountain Ash in the Cynon Valley had to be painstakingly restored
:17:09. > :17:18.after all four of its bronze statues were stolen. They were
:17:18. > :17:21.never recovered. This monument cost �37,000 to replace. If you take
:17:21. > :17:25.into account the effect it has where we have to take that money
:17:25. > :17:29.from frontline services, people will see that other frontline
:17:29. > :17:32.services will be reduced if this continues. But it's now hoped this
:17:32. > :17:35.small bottle of liquid will protect the memorial in Mountain Ash and
:17:35. > :17:38.thousands of others. These offenders on community service are
:17:38. > :17:48.marking the monument with a special crime prevention fluid which leaves
:17:48. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:55.an indelible stamp on the metal. This smart water is invisible to
:17:55. > :17:59.the naked eye but under special ultraviolet light, you can see a
:17:59. > :18:05.fluorescent glow. If this statuette there was stolen, police could
:18:05. > :18:11.trace exactly where it is and link the criminal to the crime. It's all
:18:11. > :18:14.part of a UK wide project called the In Memoriam 2014 campaign. It's
:18:14. > :18:17.run by the charity, the War Memorials Trust, and the aim is to
:18:17. > :18:22.protect and preserve all our war memorials in time for the centenary
:18:22. > :18:27.of world war one. I have served in the forces and have many friends
:18:27. > :18:31.that are still serving. If a plaque was stolen and those names were not
:18:31. > :18:34.recorded, we could lose those forever. And that almost happened
:18:34. > :18:38.to this memorial in Crumlin. Fortunately Desmond Rogers had
:18:38. > :18:41.taken a note of the metal plaques just months before they were stolen.
:18:41. > :18:51.He has an uncle who died in the Great War and whose name is
:18:51. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :19:02.remembered here. It made me sick. It made me ill. He was my uncle. We
:19:02. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:08.always remembered him. My father attended this Cenotaph every year.
:19:08. > :19:11.The rising value of scrap metal has made war memorials a tempting
:19:12. > :19:14.target for thieves. Over the next two years, the War Memorials Trust
:19:14. > :19:17.will be marking monuments across Wales, so communities can continue
:19:17. > :19:20.honouring the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
