left neglected in a field Good evening. Two energy companies

:01:13.:01:20.

have shelved plans to build a new nuclear power station on Anglesey.

:01:20.:01:23.

RWE n-power and E.ON had been due to work together on the �8 billion

:01:23.:01:28.

Wylfa B project, which was expected to create thousands of jobs. Both

:01:28.:01:30.

the Welsh and UK Governments say they're disappointed. Our

:01:30.:01:40.
:01:40.:01:44.

Environment Correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd, is at Wylfa for us tonight.

:01:45.:01:50.

Did evening. That is well that's ageing power plant behind me and

:01:50.:01:54.

the new plant was meant to be built in these fields beside it. That now

:01:54.:01:59.

is in jeopardy. At the very time when we were expecting a

:01:59.:02:04.

significant announcement on which type of reactors would be built in

:02:04.:02:13.

Wylfa B. 1965 and the building of will by nuclear power station on

:02:13.:02:18.

Anglesey. During the past few years, there has been hope that an even

:02:18.:02:22.

larger construction project could lead to Wylfa B. But the

:02:22.:02:25.

announcement by two of Britain's largest gas and villages of the

:02:25.:02:29.

companies has been unexpected. Up until this morning, this would have

:02:29.:02:38.

been the site. But that for the time being is in jeopardy as both

:02:38.:02:44.

RWE n-power and E.ON say they are shelving their nuclear plants for

:02:45.:02:48.

economic and financial reasons. Over the last few years, the

:02:48.:02:52.

environment in which the operator has changed. We have less financial

:02:52.:03:00.

firepower. That is driven by the global recession. Electricity and

:03:00.:03:09.

gas prices in continental Europe. Those combination of factors has

:03:09.:03:13.

reduced the firepower of E.ON. We have to focus our investment.

:03:13.:03:17.

UK Government and the Welsh government are backing a second

:03:17.:03:20.

nuclear power station on Anglesey, especially with the expectation of

:03:20.:03:25.

thousands of new jobs. It is something that I will not give up

:03:25.:03:35.
:03:35.:03:35.

pressing for. I was a firm supporter when I was in opposition.

:03:35.:03:38.

People in Anglesey and workers within that industry can rest

:03:38.:03:43.

assured that I will continue to pursue every opportunity. But not

:03:43.:03:49.

everybody will be dismayed by today's events. A local protest

:03:49.:03:53.

group save more and more Anglesey residents questioned the safety and

:03:53.:03:58.

viability of nuclear power. It is no surprise at all. We have heard

:03:59.:04:06.

rumours for many months that the economic case for Wylfa B was shaky

:04:06.:04:11.

to say the least. The days of the current power station are numbered.

:04:11.:04:14.

The UK Government says Britain needs energy from renewable and

:04:14.:04:18.

other sources but the backdrop to today's announcement comes after

:04:18.:04:24.

last year's Tsunami in Japan. The nuclear fall-out has cast a long

:04:24.:04:28.

shadow. The German government was the first to turn its back on new

:04:28.:04:33.

nuclear power and the two German- based companies, RWE n-power and

:04:33.:04:39.

E.ON, had extra decommissioning costs after that decision. Now,

:04:39.:04:47.

Wales is also affected. So what does this mean for the

:04:47.:04:50.

people of Anglesey? Whether you back it or not, nuclear power has

:04:50.:04:53.

become a vital part of the island's economy. Matthew Richards looks at

:04:53.:04:57.

the local impact of the announcement.

:04:57.:05:00.

Today, Anglesey is counting the cost of losing out on such a major

:05:00.:05:04.

investment. The Wylfa B project would have cost �8 billion. 5,000

:05:04.:05:06.

construction jobs would have been created and between 800 and 1,000

:05:06.:05:09.

people would have worked there. With construction underway later

:05:09.:05:18.

this year, the site was expected to be operational in 2025. It is a

:05:18.:05:23.

huge knock. What we have to do now is pull-out all the stops. I know

:05:23.:05:27.

there was government is asking that the UK Government gives them extra

:05:27.:05:31.

help after this decision. This is not just about jobs and Anglesey,

:05:31.:05:36.

it is about jobs in north-west Wales. The search is on now for a

:05:36.:05:42.

new energy company to step in. is hoped that the new company can

:05:42.:05:49.

take on the project. We have to work together to try and persuade

:05:49.:05:53.

another company to take over this very important project for the

:05:53.:05:56.

economy of Anglesey. In Cemaes, the small village which has become

:05:56.:05:59.

inextricably linked with Wylfa, there was a mixed reaction to the

:05:59.:06:03.

news that nuclear energy production could be reaching an end. It is not

:06:04.:06:07.

that I don't want a second power station, I don't want a nuclear

:06:07.:06:13.

power station. Without it, this is area is no more because there is

:06:13.:06:20.

not much else going on here. ripple effect reaches far beyond

:06:20.:06:22.

Cemaes. Coleg Menai's �6 million National Skills Academy has been

:06:22.:06:25.

built to provide training for the nuclear workers of the future.

:06:25.:06:27.

Before today's announcement, the principal explained how it's

:06:27.:06:30.

preparing students. We must be responsive in terms of making sure

:06:30.:06:34.

the population is scaled up to take those opportunities on board to

:06:34.:06:39.

alleviate any influx of workforce. Students will now have to wait to

:06:39.:06:49.
:06:49.:06:49.

see if they'll get an opportunity to use those skills on Anglesey.

:06:49.:06:53.

Let's talk to Sasha Davies from the energy programme. How feasible is

:06:53.:06:58.

it now to get a nuclear build here? We are confident there will be

:06:58.:07:02.

built here. We are working with the UK Government and we understand

:07:02.:07:06.

there is some serious interest. Where will the new investment come

:07:06.:07:09.

from and how many different companies are there who could

:07:09.:07:13.

possibly take on such a large scheme? Anglesey County Council

:07:13.:07:17.

caught at some other serious developers five years ago. That

:07:17.:07:21.

interest will still be there and we are guaranteed that through the UK

:07:21.:07:25.

Government. We are talking about two of the biggest utility

:07:25.:07:30.

companies in the world. What makes you think that other consortiums

:07:31.:07:37.

can afford it? And those two companies took a difficult decision.

:07:37.:07:41.

They did not have the financial backing to take this forward. There

:07:41.:07:44.

is a big world out there and there are some major companies that do

:07:44.:07:51.

have the financial backing. This blows a hole in your concept.

:07:51.:07:55.

disappointing but the programme is now more important than ever. We

:07:55.:07:59.

have to work with the UK and was governments to take this forward.

:07:59.:08:09.
:08:09.:08:11.

Do you think you put all your eggs in one basket? Absolutely not. The

:08:11.:08:14.

benefits are still going to be positive in respect of the number

:08:14.:08:22.

of jobs. Still that positive message which we have heard all day

:08:22.:08:27.

but really this has been a day of such bad news for the island and

:08:28.:08:34.

for the nuclear industry. Earlier, I spoke to Malcolm

:08:34.:08:36.

Grimston, a nuclear energy expert from Imperial College London. I

:08:36.:08:39.

began by asking him for his take on why the energy companies have

:08:39.:08:49.
:08:49.:08:51.

pulled out. Because of the decision in Germany to pull out of nuclear

:08:51.:08:55.

power stations, RWE n-power and E.ON don't have as much cash as

:08:55.:09:02.

they were expecting before the Fukushima accident. Investment and

:09:02.:09:04.

borrowing to invest is very difficult globally at the moment as

:09:04.:09:07.

well so they have taken a decision that the risks involved are too big

:09:07.:09:13.

for the moment. Anglesey still insists it is an ideal location for

:09:13.:09:18.

this kind of nuclear development. Is it really? It has got the

:09:18.:09:23.

nuclear expertise and all of the wires to the existing plant which

:09:23.:09:26.

will come off line in the next year or so. A lot of the background that

:09:26.:09:35.

is required for a nuclear station is already in place. The community

:09:35.:09:38.

and look love for it here very supportive as well. Even if there

:09:38.:09:42.

is a nuclear plant, this announcement today means there's

:09:42.:09:49.

going to be some substantial delay. That is inevitable. They may just

:09:49.:09:55.

be another company -- there may just be another company who will

:09:55.:09:59.

take an interest in taking over the project but they would need to

:09:59.:10:03.

check their own finances and get to understand how far horizon had got.

:10:03.:10:09.

That cannot be done overnight. We are looking at a delay of maybe two

:10:09.:10:13.

or three years and potentially longer than that. Who do you think

:10:13.:10:17.

is the likely new owner of this plant? It would need to be a

:10:17.:10:20.

company which has not been affected by the German decision and which

:10:20.:10:28.

has deep enough pockets and it might be a collection of pocket --

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:41.

companies. Many companies thinking of doing this would have to look at

:10:41.:10:45.

the issue very carefully. -- any companies.

:10:45.:10:47.

The First Minister has accused the UK Government of behaving

:10:47.:10:50.

irresponsibly after it advised motorists to top up their tanks.

:10:50.:10:53.

Carwyn Jones said ministers in London needed to calm down. Across

:10:53.:10:55.

the country, garages have been running short on fuel amid fears

:10:55.:11:02.

tanker drivers could go on strike. Cemlyn Davies reports.

:11:02.:11:10.

A tanker delivers fuel to a Cardiff supermarket. Across the country,

:11:10.:11:15.

fuel levels are falling as forecourts fill up. It's a worrying

:11:15.:11:18.

time for Mel Evans who runs a bus company from his depot above

:11:18.:11:28.

Penrhyncoch in Ceredigion. My main concern is with the touring side of

:11:28.:11:34.

the injury. A coach goes away here with a tankful of diesel and it

:11:34.:11:40.

needs refuelling Wireless away. I main concern is that we have a

:11:40.:11:43.

coach full of 50 people step on the side of the road or somewhere where

:11:43.:11:47.

they can get home. In the valley below, there was anger at advice

:11:47.:11:52.

from UK ministers for drivers to top up. I understand people filling

:11:52.:11:59.

up their cars because the minute somebody starts queueing, everyone

:11:59.:12:06.

is obliged to do the same. It was a crazy thing to say. Everybody is

:12:06.:12:14.

reaching for fuel and grabbing everything they can. There are a

:12:14.:12:18.

lot of old age pensioners out there who cannot afford it. The UK

:12:18.:12:21.

Government denies it's to blame for any panic buying and says Unite is

:12:21.:12:23.

behaving irresponsibly by threatening to strike over work

:12:23.:12:31.

conditions. Earlier, Carwyn Jones, a Unite member himself, had his say.

:12:31.:12:34.

All this has been stoked up irresponsibly by the UK Government

:12:34.:12:39.

ministers. It has to stop. This is something that does not have to

:12:39.:12:44.

happen and certainly I would advise the UK Government to calm down and

:12:44.:12:49.

start saying to people, there is no issue here, there is a problem.

:12:49.:12:52.

strike dates have been set and the Unite Union will give seven days

:12:52.:12:54.

notice ahead of any industrial action.

:12:54.:12:57.

A taxi driver has appeared in court following a road accident in the

:12:57.:12:59.

centre of Cardiff, which left eight people injured. 28-year-old Majid

:12:59.:13:02.

Rehman was arrested after the collision on Wood Street on Tuesday

:13:02.:13:05.

and has been charged with one count of inflicting grievous bodily harm

:13:05.:13:08.

with intent, and seven counts of attempting to inflict grievous

:13:08.:13:16.

bodily harm. "A brutal and heartless murder".

:13:16.:13:20.

The words of a judge to John Mason, convicted of beating his mother's

:13:20.:13:23.

neighbour to death in cold blood. He'd conned his way into Angelika

:13:23.:13:25.

Dries-Jenkins' house in Narberth, stole her bank card then spent her

:13:25.:13:29.

money. He's been jailed for at least 30 years. Rhodri Lewis was in

:13:29.:13:38.

court. Minutes after John Mason was jailed,

:13:38.:13:46.

Angelika Dries Jenkins' family left the court with this reaction.

:13:46.:13:50.

Mason, the person responsible for this cowardly act of violence, has

:13:50.:13:56.

been prevented from inflicting such suffering on any of individual or

:13:56.:14:01.

family. John Mason has through his actions made victims not only of a

:14:01.:14:05.

mother and a family but of those in the wider community. Angelika

:14:05.:14:08.

Dries-Jenkins had lived quietly in Narberth for most of her life. But

:14:08.:14:11.

on June 1st last year, John Mason knocked her door. His mother lived

:14:11.:14:15.

next door, and he conned his way into her house. He then tortured

:14:15.:14:18.

her to reveal her PIN number before beating her to death with a blunt

:14:18.:14:24.

instrument. Though his victim knew him, he was then caught on CCTV in

:14:24.:14:27.

Whitland and Narberth using her bank card to steal money from her

:14:27.:14:30.

account. Other shots show him wearing a high visibility jacket

:14:30.:14:36.

which he often did to give himself an air of "status". After the

:14:36.:14:39.

murder, he dumped a jumper in Haverfordwest which had both his

:14:39.:14:44.

DNA and that of Mrs Dries-Jenkins on it. After the conviction, the

:14:44.:14:47.

jury was told Mason was guilty of a series of offences stretching back

:14:47.:14:50.

nearly 30 years. At the time of the murder, he was already

:14:50.:14:53.

electronically tagged and under curfew for threatening to kill his

:14:53.:14:56.

fiance. The judge told him you are guilty of a brutal and heartless

:14:56.:14:59.

murder. You killed a kind and gentle woman in her own home to

:14:59.:15:04.

steal the money and then spent that money and went about a business

:15:04.:15:06.

without a care in the world. You must realise you will probably

:15:07.:15:10.

spend the rest of your life in prison.

:15:10.:15:19.

Much more to come before 7:00pm: Our newest choir conquers Russia.

:15:19.:15:29.
:15:29.:15:29.

Next, it's the home crowd for Only A vicar from Monmouthshire has

:15:29.:15:33.

become the first clergyman in Wales, to step down over the issue of gay

:15:33.:15:36.

marriage. Speaking exclusively to BBC Wales, Reverend Andrew Morton

:15:36.:15:38.

says that some members of the Anglican communion, including

:15:38.:15:41.

elements of the Church in Wales, have become increasingly homophobic.

:15:41.:15:51.
:15:51.:15:54.

Jordan Davies reports. Reverend Andrew Morton has been a

:15:54.:15:58.

church in the us to care for 33 years. He has looked after the

:15:58.:16:03.

pastoral needs of the people here for close to 20 of them. Now he is

:16:03.:16:08.

the first clergyman in Wales to resign over what he says is the

:16:08.:16:13.

Church's judgmental attitude towards gay marriage. I feel a

:16:13.:16:22.

degree of homophobia. I felt that in order to offer an authentic

:16:22.:16:27.

critique of the Church as an institution, it was the most

:16:27.:16:31.

honourable thing to do it from the outside. Seven years ago, the

:16:31.:16:35.

cameras flocked to capture the first civil partnerships which give

:16:35.:16:39.

gay couples similar rights to married couples. Now, the UK

:16:39.:16:44.

Government is consulting on whether to allow same-sex couples to make

:16:44.:16:50.

vows and marry in civil ceremonies. Andrew Knight is the figure in

:16:50.:16:56.

Swansea, he disagrees with same-sex marriages. The New Testament says

:16:56.:17:00.

that the relationship between two people of the same sex is not

:17:00.:17:04.

something good. There are several references that are all fairly

:17:04.:17:10.

critical. So, without wanting to be judgmental or difficult, we find

:17:10.:17:16.

that we cannot bless what God does not say is good. But Reverend

:17:16.:17:20.

Andrew Morton says he would have conducted full ceremonies for gay

:17:20.:17:26.

couples and says he is not alone. Privately, there are an awful lot

:17:26.:17:33.

of people who agree with at least part of the stance that I am making.

:17:33.:17:37.

The Church in Wales says it follows the Christian doctrine of marriage

:17:37.:17:42.

as the union between a man and woman but that it is committed to

:17:42.:17:47.

prayer for reflection on same-sex relationships. Reverend Andrew

:17:47.:17:50.

Morton is now contemplating a future outside the church but still

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:05.

playing a part in one of the most contentious issues it faces.

:18:06.:18:08.

More than a hundred campaigners have been demonstrating outside

:18:08.:18:10.

Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest over proposals to reform healthcare.

:18:10.:18:12.

Protestors fear that essential emergency and surgical care will be

:18:13.:18:15.

taken away. Managers insist they are investing in the hospital, and

:18:15.:18:17.

no decisions have been made. A Welsh language translation

:18:18.:18:20.

helpline for businesses has been funded for another year. BBC Wales

:18:20.:18:23.

revealed today that the Linkline to Welsh Helpline was due to be

:18:23.:18:26.

withdrawn tomorrow. It helps firms like this new cafe on Anglesey

:18:26.:18:28.

translate its signage into Welsh. The Welsh Government has awarded

:18:29.:18:36.

the helpline �35,000. Three years ago, Only Men Aloud

:18:36.:18:39.

topped the charts. Last weekend, it was the Boys wowing judges on

:18:39.:18:42.

Britain's Got Talent. Now, Only Kids Aloud are taking to the stage.

:19:45.:19:50.

minutes from here. Everybody is nervous when they go on stage but

:19:50.:19:57.

the thrill of going on the stage is worth it. I started singing when I

:19:57.:20:03.

was four years old. I could sing before I could talk. I was in

:20:03.:20:09.

school, ready to play hockey and my mum came up with the headmaster and

:20:09.:20:16.

I thought, what have I done now? Then they told me I was through to

:20:16.:20:21.

Only Kids Aloud. Last weekend, they travelled to Russia, performing at

:20:21.:20:29.

the world-famous theatre alongside an opera and an orchestra. On

:20:42.:20:45.

for a young foal that had a very unpromising start. Charity Rainbow

was rescued, starving and neglected, from a muddy field in South Wales.

:20:48.:20:51.

One of her siblings was already dead. But four years on, she's been

:20:51.:20:54.

nursed back to health by a Welsh animal sanctuary and proved so fit

Ladies Day at Taunton. The going's good to firm, the hats big and bold

:21:01.:21:04.

and the expectations high. For this lady in particular, it's another

:21:04.:21:09.

remarkable chapter in a story that began so tragically. Charity

:21:09.:21:12.

Rainbow was one of five foals rescued with its mother from a

:21:12.:21:15.

field in Abergavenny by the Monmouth based Society for the

Jenny McGregor realised that despite their atrocious state, they

:21:43.:21:45.

were thoroughbred racehorses and was determined that at least one

:21:45.:21:49.

would fulfill its potential and experience life at the racetrack.

:21:49.:21:53.

I'll always said I would love it if one of them could be on a

:21:53.:21:57.

racecourse. It was a dream I never thought would come to fruition. I

:21:57.:22:02.

am very excited. 12 people across South Wales formed a syndicate to

pay for her upkeep and training and here at Taunton is the culmination

:22:05.:22:09.

of all that hard work as they came to watch her race for the first

:22:09.:22:17.

time yesterday. It is fantastic that she has got to a racecourse.

:22:17.:22:24.

We hope she enjoys herself. Jenny worked magnificently to get this

Charity Rainbow has been nurtured by the renowned trainer Brendon

Powell at his stables in Berkshire. He says she has potential. She has

:22:37.:22:45.

plenty of speed. I think she will run a nice rest -- race. 5:10pm and

the last race of the day. It's a nail-biting five minutes for this

racehorse, by just managing to survive those early months of

neglect, she's already proved she's a winner.

:23:30.:23:33.

Now before the weather, take a look at these dramatic pictures.

:23:33.:23:35.

Scientists at Aberystwyth University have discovered a group

:23:35.:23:38.

of solar tornados, wider than the Earth, on the face of the sun. It's

:23:38.:23:41.

believed to be the first time images like these have ever been

:23:41.:23:44.

filmed. The hot gases in these tornadoes are travelling at more

:23:44.:23:52.

than 180,000 miles per hour. It's been another scorcher for most

:23:52.:23:56.

of us today and Derek, some record breaking temperatures.

:23:56.:24:01.

Yes, Jamie. Records were broken in Powys yesterday and today in

:24:01.:24:04.

Cardiff. 21C was recorded at Bute Park. We think this is a new record

:24:04.:24:08.

for March in Cardiff. 21C is 70 Fahrenheit. Warmer than Ibiza,

:24:08.:24:18.
:24:18.:24:19.

Now I know some of you are worried that this might be our summer.

:24:20.:24:23.

Hopefully that won't be the case and this is a taster of things to

:24:23.:24:32.

come. Mind you, there is a change on the way. It's not going to stay

:24:32.:24:35.

as nice as this over the weekend but for gardeners and farmers

:24:35.:24:38.

hoping for a drop of rain, I can't promise much if any, although a few

:24:38.:24:41.

showers are expected next week. Tonight will be dry. The sky clear.

:24:41.:24:45.

However, low cloud and mist in the Irish Sea will spread into northern

:24:45.:24:48.

and western counties. Where the sky remains clear, it will turn chilly

:24:48.:24:50.

with ground frost. Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure parked to the

:24:50.:24:53.

west of Ireland and that means north-westerly winds for the UK. So

:24:53.:24:56.

tomorrow, mixed fortunes compared to today. Sunshine in the south.

:24:56.:24:59.

The north and west will be cool, grey and misty. The odd spot of

:24:59.:25:02.

drizzle but otherwise dry. During the day, more of the country will

:25:02.:25:05.

brighten-up but parts of the north and west, especially coasts, will

:25:05.:25:08.

stay cloudy. A huge difference in temperature. Warmest in the south-

:25:08.:25:11.

east but much cooler on the north and west coast with a breeze off

:25:11.:25:14.

the sea In Neath Port Talbot tomorrow, another fine, sunny day.

:25:14.:25:18.

Temperatures in Seven Sisters rising to 17C Celsius. As for the

:25:18.:25:20.

weekend, Saturday much cloudier and cooler everywhere. A little light

:25:20.:25:23.

rain or drizzle in places but otherwise dry. Sunday should be

:25:23.:25:25.

better. Dry and settled. Brighter too. Some sunshine. Temperatures

:25:25.:25:33.

10C to 13C with light winds. Next week, cooler with a mixture of

:25:33.:25:36.

sunny spells. A few April showers and cold enough at night for some

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:25:57.

and cold enough at night for some frost.

jobs. Tomorrow, we will be marking the

:26:17.:26:21.

30th anniversary of the Falklands war. We hear how it changed the

lives of those who fought and those they left behind at home. A warning

welcome, the Royal Marines who defended the Falklands against the

his men resisted for five hours. was not in my personal nature to

:26:50.:26:56.

give up without a fight. Above all else, I was very proud to be

British. I felt we were being bullied by these people. I was not

going to stand for it. They were not going to be allowed to come and

blow up the Union flag without any resistance. We're here Keith's
