:01:23. > :01:27.Wales has reached a crisis point. That's the warning tonight. 50,000
:01:27. > :01:31.young people cannot get onto the jobs ladder. That's nearly a
:01:31. > :01:36.quarter of 16-24-year-olds. Today the most ambitious scheme yet in
:01:36. > :01:39.Wales designed to tackle it got underway. But much of its success
:01:39. > :01:46.depends on the private sector buying into it. Our business
:01:46. > :01:55.correspondent, Nick Servini, is at a factory in Bridgend for us.
:01:55. > :02:00.Good evening. This factory makes equipment for airports all around
:02:00. > :02:04.the world. It says it is interested in taking part in this jobs growth
:02:04. > :02:08.scheme. Much of the success will depend on companies like best
:02:08. > :02:12.taking part in that scheme and taking on young people. Everyone
:02:12. > :02:17.wants to try and deal with this issue of the end -- youth
:02:17. > :02:20.unemployment but as we have known, it is a very difficult problem to
:02:20. > :02:25.solve. Call centres like this one have
:02:25. > :02:32.become one of the big growth areas for jobs. It is halfway through a
:02:32. > :02:36.pilot of jobs growth Wales. It is a new scheme targeting young people.
:02:36. > :02:40.Companies have to take a young person on for six months. They pay
:02:40. > :02:43.them the minimum wage and that the very least employ them for 25 hours
:02:43. > :02:53.per week. If they do that, their entire wages

:02:58. > :03:02.training and skills but also an understanding of the discipline of

:03:07. > :03:10.lead to jobs at the end of it. many have jobs at the end is to a
:03:11. > :03:16.large extent how this will be judged. The intention is to enrol
:03:16. > :03:18.12,000 young people over the next three years. The company doing the
:03:18. > :03:26.pilots as matching the right person to the right position and is
:03:26. > :03:31.crucial. -- says. You have got to be careful but other companies do
:03:31. > :03:37.not have people in an IT role making cups of tea and sweeping the
:03:37. > :03:40.carpet. What do those taking part make of it? I had no experience in
:03:40. > :03:45.telephone sales. Absolutely nothing. Without this scheme, I would not
:03:45. > :03:49.have had a job at all. After the scheme, I have the experience. I
:03:49. > :03:55.will have been here for six months. I have the experience. It is all
:03:55. > :04:00.about killing people a chance. what about those who would like to
:04:00. > :04:04.take part in the future? It is so difficult. I always thought, I will
:04:04. > :04:10.find a job, no problem. After leaving school, I realise how
:04:10. > :04:13.difficult it is. Some people think, I will find a job and a couple of
:04:14. > :04:19.months but it is so difficult that it is so boring, just doing nothing
:04:19. > :04:23.all day. It is so miserable and it is getting me down now. This scheme
:04:23. > :04:27.has been broadly welcomed by business groups and some opposition
:04:27. > :04:30.politicians. The Welsh Conservatives welcome any move to
:04:30. > :04:33.estimate the economy in Wales and make sure we deal with the problem
:04:33. > :04:37.of unemployment amongst young people. However we want to see
:04:37. > :04:42.long-term jobs created. We are not entirely sure that this will result
:04:42. > :04:45.in the sort of long-term employment prospects that Wales badly needs.
:04:45. > :04:51.In the long run, the success of this or any other scheme will
:04:51. > :04:57.ultimately depend on the state of the economy.
:04:57. > :05:03.But have a quick chat with a couple of people from this company. Be fit,
:05:03. > :05:09.why are you interested in taking part -- David. It is crucial for us
:05:09. > :05:17.to be part of this scheme. It is giving young people an opportunity
:05:17. > :05:21.to get out into work. And getting a work ethic. What are you looking
:05:21. > :05:27.for in young people taking part? much as anything else, the things
:05:27. > :05:31.we always look for when we recruit people our attitude and enthusiasm.
:05:31. > :05:36.We can provide a platform for people to develop their careers.
:05:36. > :05:41.Young people coming to us showing a positive approach, then we can
:05:41. > :05:44.bring about a successful outcome. This company is doing well at the
:05:44. > :05:47.moment. If you have had a good look at them and you are fairly
:05:47. > :05:52.impressed, there is a good chance you will keep them on permanently.
:05:52. > :05:59.Very much so. That is something we would be looking to do in this
:05:59. > :06:03.process. David, speaking to other people in the private sector, how
:06:03. > :06:06.successful do you think this could be? It will give a platform for
:06:06. > :06:12.young people to actually come through into employment. It is
:06:12. > :06:20.crucial it is a success. Let's get another perspective from Korea's
:06:20. > :06:23.Wales. What do you make of it? is a very challenging time in the
:06:23. > :06:29.labour market with larger numbers of young people applying for fewer
:06:29. > :06:37.jobs. I think that invariably, it is this age group that get squeezed
:06:37. > :06:40.out of the labour market. Anything that create job opportunities is a
:06:40. > :06:46.positive step. In the long term, the success of the scheme is
:06:46. > :06:49.dependent on, I guess, the number of sustainable job opportunities
:06:49. > :06:56.presented beyond the six months and the number of young people that get
:06:56. > :07:02.sustained employability. Anyone in that category, finding it difficult,
:07:02. > :07:05.what is your advice? We appreciate it is a difficult time will stop
:07:05. > :07:12.this is important to remain positive than be proactive. There
:07:12. > :07:22.is support out there. Keep in touch with advisers. Do your research.
:07:22. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :07:31.Get on to the websites. Thank you very much for that. Finish and a
:07:31. > :07:34.bit of advice. Back to the studio. A man who claimed he was going to
:07:34. > :07:37.commit a "live murder on Facebook" during an seven-hour police siege
:07:37. > :07:40.has been jailed for two years. Greg Searle posted messages on the
:07:40. > :07:50.website as armed police surrounded his home in Chepstow last summer.
:07:50. > :07:52.Caroline Evans reports. It was a hot August day last year
:07:52. > :07:56.when 34-year-old Greg Searle barricaded himself in the home he
:07:56. > :08:00.shared with his mother in Chepstow. He'd come home in the early hours
:08:00. > :08:04.and set off a smoke alarm to wake her up. She was so worried about
:08:04. > :08:07.his state of mind she'd called the police. When they arrived, he
:08:07. > :08:11.appeared at a window and pointed a gun at one of the officers shouting,
:08:11. > :08:15."Hi boys. Have you come to have some fun?" The unarmed officer had
:08:15. > :08:18.to run for cover. Today the judge said to begin with the police had
:08:18. > :08:21.no way of knowing that the gun being pointed at them was an
:08:21. > :08:26.imitation firearm incapable of being fired. And he told Searle
:08:26. > :08:30.they were close enough to see your fingers on the trigger. And all the
:08:31. > :08:34.time, Searle was online. He told his 400 Facebook friends "I give
:08:34. > :08:40.you live murder on Facebook. Bet you can't wait for me to make my
:08:40. > :08:42.move so you can watch." Facebook friends posted messages of concern.
:08:42. > :08:45.Outside his home, negotiators arrived and after two hours he
:08:45. > :08:55.threw his gun of the window, but during the next five he continued
:08:55. > :08:58.to throw missiles at the police and to make threats. When police forced
:08:58. > :09:01.their way in, he didn't resist arrest. His defence lawyer said
:09:01. > :09:06.he's been suffering from long term depression and had a personality
:09:06. > :09:09.disorder. Sentencing him, the judge said that he accepted Searle was
:09:09. > :09:11.sorry for what he'd done but that these were serious offences which
:09:11. > :09:17.demanded and immediate custodial sentence and he was sentenced to
:09:17. > :09:23.two years in prison. With the time he's serviced, he'll spend another
:09:23. > :09:26.four months in prison. He's already agreed to accept medical help.

:14:35. > :14:40.help of the team in white coats. Whether it's analysing fingerprints
:14:40. > :14:42.or unearthing DNA from the tiniest scrap of evidence. And now two
:14:43. > :14:47.Welsh police forces have launched a joint scientific investigation unit,
:14:48. > :14:50.with state of the art forensics. The collaboration between South
:14:51. > :14:53.Wales and Gwent Police forces will save �1 million every year, with
:14:53. > :15:03.more tests being done in-house, reducing the number sent out to

:15:06. > :15:11.private companies. The majority in false class being broke and,
:15:11. > :15:15.burglaries, theft from motor vehicles and we have not been able
:15:15. > :15:21.to send every piece of glass away because of the cost. Having this
:15:21. > :15:27.in-house means every piece of glass can now be examined. This will
:15:27. > :15:37.ensure that we provide the most forensic evidence to the
:15:37. > :15:40.investigators will stop --. Costs will be massively reduced, as well
:15:40. > :15:44.be time taken. Samples taken from his vehicle would normally have
:15:44. > :15:48.been sent off and could take six days to come back. It will now take
:15:49. > :15:52.less than two hours. The forensic team was vital in the recent case
:15:52. > :15:56.of Nikitta Grender in Newport. Carl Whant was found guilty of the
:15:56. > :15:59.murder of the 19-year-old, and that of her unborn baby. Blood found in
:15:59. > :16:02.the footwell of his car was an important part of the case against
:16:02. > :16:05.him, and was analysed at the unit in Bridgend. The collaboration
:16:05. > :16:12.means both forces are now able to pool resources and afford cutting
:16:12. > :16:15.edge technology, making their money go further. We will see more of
:16:15. > :16:21.this kind of collaboration as police forces struggled to meet
:16:21. > :16:31.budgetary commitments. There are already exists a number of
:16:31. > :16:35.collaboration between South Wales Police and Gwent Police. We should
:16:35. > :16:39.not be surprised that there is now one extension in terms of the
:16:39. > :16:42.forensic capabilities as well. Forensics can hold the key to
:16:42. > :16:44.solving so many cases. It's hoped that as technology advances and
:16:45. > :16:48.speeds up investigations, the fast- paced results of television might

:21:13. > :21:17.snow is not unusual in April. In fact, snow is more common to have a
:21:17. > :21:20.white Easter than a white Christmas. So this evening a dry start for
:21:20. > :21:27.most, but rain and showers will become more widespread overnight.
:21:27. > :21:32.Some sleet and snow too. Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure over the
:21:32. > :21:36.Atlantic. Low pressure over the English Channel. That means strong
:21:36. > :21:43.north-easterly winds for Britain. So tomorrow morning it's going to
:21:43. > :21:47.feel more like winter. Blizzards on the mountains. So the hills and
:21:47. > :21:52.mountains could get a fair covering of snow tomorrow. In fact, the
:21:52. > :21:56.mountain tops could have 30cm, or a foot of snow, by the end of the day.
:21:56. > :22:05.At lower levels, though, rain or sleet is more likely. The southwest
:22:05. > :22:08.drier and brighter. Temperatures struggling and it will feel raw if
:22:08. > :22:11.not bitterly cold with a strong to gale force north-easterly wind.
:22:11. > :22:17.Tomorrow night lighter rain, sleet or snow, mainly in Powys and the
:22:17. > :22:24.southeast. Thursday a better day. Drier and brighter. The best of the
:22:24. > :22:28.sunshine in the north and west. At the moment, Easter weekend looks
:22:28. > :22:33.mixed. A little rain, a few showers but some dry and bright weather as
:22:33. > :22:37.well. In other words a typical bank holiday weekend. But before that
:22:37. > :22:47.winter is set to return in the next 24 hours. Take care if and wrap-up

:22:56. > :22:59.ago half way around the world, but for some old soldiers the war isn't
:22:59. > :23:02.over when the fighting stops. Three Welsh veterans of the Falklands War
:23:02. > :23:06.have returned to the South Atlantic for the first time since the
:23:06. > :23:15.conflict ended to make peace with their past and lay ghosts to rest.
:23:15. > :23:18.Carwyn Jones reports. Three men for whom the Falklands War still casts

:23:53. > :24:02.these rocks, it is a formidable defensive position and it goes back
:24:02. > :24:09.in stages. There was defence in depth. Over here to the right, they
:24:09. > :24:14.set up the post. This is where all the casualties were to be brought.
:24:14. > :24:20.At first light, we were asked to conduct an evacuation. There were
:24:20. > :24:24.still fierce fighting going up. A lot of it was a close and personal.
:24:24. > :24:29.Very dramatic stuff. That is when it became apparent how many
:24:29. > :24:33.casualties had been sustained. South of Stanley in the sheltered
:24:33. > :24:40.waters of Fitzroy, Steve Dawkins has come to make peace with the
:24:40. > :24:47.past. He was a medic when Sir Galahad was had by Argentine bombs.
:24:47. > :24:51.Among the men killed that day were two of his closest friends. They
:24:51. > :24:55.were good mates. The session corporal asked me to get down to
:24:55. > :25:01.the tanker deck. They were prepping to get off. I was attached to the
:25:01. > :25:07.Welsh Guards. I saw them in the gully and I told them to get down
:25:07. > :25:13.to the tanker deck. It has moments later, minutes later, that the
:25:13. > :25:16.explosion happened. They were sitting on top of the mortar
:25:16. > :25:22.ammunition when they were last seen alive. If I had not said anything,
:25:22. > :25:29.had not seen them, they were probably still be alive today. You
:25:29. > :25:33.just blame yourself. You wrap yourself up in that guilt. 30 years
:25:33. > :25:39.on and the Falkland Islands still bear the scars of war. The first
:25:39. > :25:42.land battle of the conflict was fought here at Goose Green. They
:25:42. > :25:46.single battalion took on an Argentine garrison of more than
:25:46. > :25:53.1,000. Paratrooper David Jones fought in
:25:53. > :25:58.that battle. He was 21 years old. mortar bomb landed about 10 ft away
:25:58. > :26:03.from the and buried itself into the shingle. It did not explode. I was
:26:03. > :26:08.very lucky. 12 days later, David found himself at Fitzroy, helping
:26:08. > :26:16.the wounded of the Sir Galahad. Among the victims was his best
:26:16. > :26:22.friend, Gareth Hughes. It was a great shock. A great deal of
:26:22. > :26:26.survivor's guilt comes into it. Why am I here and he is not?
:26:26. > :26:30.Falklands conflict lasted just 74 days but the memories of what these
:26:30. > :26:34.three men experienced will last a lifetime. They have travelled

:26:38. > :26:42.tribute to their friends and comrades who never returned home.
