thousands more young people could be signing on by the end of the

summer. The Institute for Public Policy Research says it could be 18

months before the jobless total falls. The left-leaning think-tank

believes across Britain 100,000 people will become unemployed with

public sector job cuts, and 40,000 of those will be under 25. In Wales

it is predicted a further 7000 people could lose their jobs.

or in the middle training. The poor condition of the economy has been

further highlighted by research into the retail industry. Cardiff-

10 weeks to remove the stricken cargo ship that ran aground off the

North Wales coast. Crews say there have taken nearly all the hazardous

fuels off the career at Llanddulas. Later this week the vessel will be

broken up for scrap. Kate Morgan reports.

It is the beginning of the final chapter for the MV carrier. Over

the Easter weekend, crews removed 24,000 litres of hazardous fuel

from the ship and now all that remains on board is 100 litres of

oil. All that is a has been removed from the tanks -- all the diesel.

We are waiting, there is one more time with lubricating oil to be

recovered, then all pure oils and hazardous materials will be

completely removed from the vessel. It is almost a week since bad

weather forced the ship onto the rocks at night. All of its seven

crew had to be winched to safety in a tricky rescue operation. Next

morning the rough sea and stormy weather delayed plans to clear the

ship of its fuel. Now that is finally done, these crews can start

preparing for the task of breaking the vessel up bit by bit. It could

take up to 10 weeks. We have to consider downtime and you may be a

bossy in the background that the tide only permits access to the

vessel at certain periods of the day, so we are a bit constrained in

the time we have, so we have allowed for damn time in the 10

weeks. But it is not just that hide the concerns -- crews are concerned

about. A -- down time. There are hoping the weather remains calm to

bring the ship in piece by piece, to keep them on their target to

bring the carrier to the scrapyard. The full line-up of this year's Hay

Championship after a draw with Watford. Kenny Miller scored his

first goal in 16 Games to put the Bluebirds in front just before

half-time. Watford equalised late in the 7 1/2 -- second half to deny

Cardiff three points. There was a dramatic climax to Newport County's

game with Kidderminster in the Blue Square Premier. The Welsh side were

headed to victory thanks to goals from Jake Speight and Sam Foley,

but Kidderminster hit back scoring three goals in the last four

minutes. Wrexham take on Conference leaders Fleetwood Town tomorrow.

So much our best swimmers who have qualified for the Olympics are in

London this week for their first major training camp with the rest

of Team GB. It is the last time the team will be together in London
