:01:10. > :01:12.Good evening. Older people are missing out on the help they need
:01:12. > :01:15.when they become ill because of confusion about what services
:01:15. > :01:17.councils should provide, that's the message tonight from the charity
:01:17. > :01:22.WRVS. It says services should be provided to help people live
:01:22. > :01:25.independently when they return home after hospital treatment. WRVS says
:01:25. > :01:30.there are huge inconsistencies in the services delivered by councils
:01:30. > :01:39.and health boards. The Welsh Government says it is working to
:01:39. > :01:43.Meet Olive Brogan. For 40 years since her husband died she has been
:01:43. > :01:53.on her own. Now 87 years old and with her legs causing her problems,
:01:53. > :02:03.she can't get out as much as she used to. The loneliness is
:02:03. > :02:04.
:02:04. > :02:10.unbearable sometimes. A suicidal attitude, he cannot help it was at
:02:10. > :02:16.sometimes you think you'll wish you were out of it and you get really
:02:16. > :02:19.desperate. She often plays alone, but at least twice a week she has
:02:19. > :02:28.an audience. Carol is a volunteer with the Charity WRVS. Her visits
:02:28. > :02:32.according to olive have made a world of difference. She takes the
:02:32. > :02:40.shopping and runs me into town. We have been to several little venues
:02:40. > :02:43.together. We have had a nice time. And it is that type of care,
:02:43. > :02:46.emotional and social, even just company, according to WRVS that can
:02:46. > :02:55.be just as important as medical care to help older recover from
:02:55. > :03:00.illness and live independently. have seen her grow in confidence
:03:00. > :03:05.and she assures me she always looks forward to my visit and I love to
:03:05. > :03:08.see her. She is such a nice lady. That is what is so lovely about
:03:09. > :03:11.volunteering. But the charity says there is confusion and huge
:03:11. > :03:14.inconsistencies across councils and health boards about what services
:03:14. > :03:18.they need to provide and how much money is spent on them. They admit
:03:18. > :03:20.that due to a lack of a standard definition of what this type of
:03:20. > :03:23.care means comparison between different areas can be difficult
:03:23. > :03:30.and also because different councils and health boards have different
:03:30. > :03:32.responsibilities. The charity's figures show that whereas Torfaen
:03:33. > :03:40.Council spends almost �20 per head on what it calls reablement
:03:40. > :03:43.services, Conwy spends �1.58. And spending by health boards according
:03:43. > :03:53.to the report ranges from �11.69 per head in Abertawe Bro Morgannwg
:03:53. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :04:00.to 58 pence in Cwm Taf. We would like to see some direction being
:04:00. > :04:05.given about the nature of services. At the moment, some local
:04:05. > :04:13.authorities and not delivering the support services that help older
:04:14. > :04:18.people to regain their confidence. I am more interested in making sure
:04:18. > :04:21.the authorities and partners that are providing successful services
:04:21. > :04:26.and delivering results on the ground get their message across to
:04:26. > :04:29.colleagues who may be further behind to improve practice across
:04:30. > :04:33.Wales. The Welsh Government says it will introduce legally binding
:04:33. > :04:36.standards for help and care for older people when it brings forward
:04:36. > :04:39.its new Social Care Bill early next year. Charities will be looking for
:04:39. > :04:47.big things, but for now, back in Newport, Olive is just grateful for
:04:47. > :04:52.a chat over a cuppa. Sarah Rochira is the Older People's
:04:52. > :04:54.Commissioner for Wales. We heard there from Olive who says she's
:04:54. > :05:04.lonely and gets depressed, helping her isn't necessarily costly or
:05:04. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:11.difficult is it? No, you are absolutely right. I go out and
:05:11. > :05:17.about meeting with and talking to older people. One of the things
:05:17. > :05:21.that strikes me is that they ask for just a little bit of help on a
:05:21. > :05:28.timely basis. There is a lot of good practice across the country
:05:28. > :05:34.but it is not consistent. WRVS are right foot of it can be a postcode
:05:35. > :05:38.lottery. I met a brave lady who was in her late 70s. She told me how
:05:38. > :05:42.her husband had to crawl upstairs every night. She crawled up the
:05:42. > :05:50.stairs behind him because she had been waiting five months for a hand
:05:50. > :06:00.rail to keep him safe. That is not acceptable. Why this postcode
:06:00. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:08.lottery? When will it improve? You're absolutely right. I am
:06:08. > :06:12.fighting for action. We have local authorities who tell me they know
:06:12. > :06:16.it needs to get better. Older people know it needs to get better
:06:16. > :06:20.as well. They tell me very clearly how difficult it can be to cope
:06:20. > :06:26.without that little bit of help. One of my roles as commissioner is
:06:27. > :06:36.to put the pressure on public services in Wales. Are we talking
:06:36. > :06:40.months or years? I will be looking for firm evidence from Welsh
:06:40. > :06:44.government next year and from local authorities that they am beginning
:06:44. > :06:49.to make progress on this area. I do not think older people deserve
:06:49. > :06:53.anything less. Often, what they're asking for does not have a cost
:06:53. > :07:00.associated with it. It is right and proper that we look at getting this
:07:00. > :07:04.right systematically. Ladies like the when I met recently just want
:07:04. > :07:07.handrails and things like that. We just need to get the job done it
:07:07. > :07:10.right. A couple of days ago, she was being
:07:10. > :07:13.watched by a global audience picking up a gold medal for Tae
:07:13. > :07:23.Kwondo at the Olympics. Tonight, she's back home with her mum in
:07:23. > :07:29.Flint. Matthew Richards is with Jade Jones. Thank you very much.
:07:29. > :07:35.Welcome home to Jade Jones. Congratulations. How are you
:07:35. > :07:41.feeling? It is all overwhelming. The support has been amazing and I
:07:41. > :07:47.am so happy to have one. We have friends, family and neighbours who
:07:47. > :07:51.have come here to support you. A very noisy and excited bench. We
:07:51. > :07:57.have some pictures of the last fight you took part in. Talk us
:07:57. > :08:00.through what was going through your mind. She beat me in the World
:08:00. > :08:09.Championships. I went out there thinking she was not going to beat
:08:09. > :08:17.me again. I remember the last round. I knew I had a couple more minutes
:08:17. > :08:24.before I was Olympic champion. did it to you -- for you Cossack I
:08:25. > :08:32.felt strongly through the whole match. I was trying to break her
:08:32. > :08:42.down. It takes a great deal of dedication. You have been doing it
:08:42. > :08:42.
:08:42. > :08:48.since you were nine years old. family have help taking the
:08:48. > :08:53.travelling everywhere. They have been putting all the money in an
:08:53. > :09:03.being behind me and supporting me. How much dedication have you put
:09:03. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:09.into it? What is a typical day's training like? I do training and I
:09:09. > :09:18.have psychology meetings and it is a long day. I love it and I am
:09:18. > :09:23.lucky to be doing something I love every day. It has been going up and
:09:23. > :09:27.up and getting better. There are some days way you feel rubbish in
:09:27. > :09:31.training for that sometimes you get down. But in the end, it is all
:09:31. > :09:38.worth it. What have you got planned over the next couple of days and
:09:38. > :09:45.months? I will be going on the one show tomorrow. I have been getting
:09:45. > :09:53.a lot of media requests. I will also be going on holiday and going
:09:53. > :10:02.back to training for the next competition. There are competitions
:10:02. > :10:12.along the way to the next Olympic Games. My sights are set on bowls.

:10:12. > :10:15.A tug boat has sunk in Holyhead harbour on Anglesey with six tonnes
:10:15. > :10:21.of diesel on board. An operation is underway to contain leaking fuel to
:10:21. > :10:25.minimize damage to the environment. The clean-up is underway after the
:10:25. > :10:29.17 and a half metre long tug sunk in the early hours of this morning.
:10:29. > :10:32.It is believed there are up to six tonnes of diesel and about 50
:10:32. > :10:35.litres of oil onboard. While Environment Agency Wales does not
:10:35. > :10:45.expect this to develop into a serious environmental incident,
:10:45. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:53.wildlife could be affected by the diesel. There is diesel and oil on
:10:53. > :11:00.board. A certain amount of that has escaped. The harbour authority, the
:11:00. > :11:06.council and the agency will be working together to contain that.
:11:06. > :11:09.From this point on, the intention is to get that oil removed.
:11:09. > :11:12.Holyhead is The UK's second busiest. Stena Line has said there's been no

:11:15. > :11:18.Environment Agency Wales will be keeping a close eye on developments
:11:18. > :11:22.and the operation to remove the oil and the tug will continue over the
:11:22. > :11:25.next couple of days. One of Wales' farming unions claims
:11:25. > :11:29.that movement restrictions to try and eradicate TB in cattle is
:11:29. > :11:34.strangling the industry. Speaking at the Pembrokeshire County Show,
:11:34. > :11:38.NFU Cymru warned that beef and dairy farmers were losing money.
:11:38. > :11:46.New rules mean they are now not able to replace lost stock for at
:11:46. > :11:50.least two months. Record crowds of up to 40,000 people for the opening
:11:50. > :11:52.day, but it was no bumper crop of cattle. The number making it to the
:11:52. > :11:56.Pembrokeshire show has been dwindling because of TB movement
:11:56. > :12:02.restrictions. Animals can't be sold or travel when there's an infection
:12:02. > :12:05.on the farm. One cattle breeder who recently lost 10% of his pedigree
:12:05. > :12:12.herd said he was switching to sheep because the restrictions were too
:12:12. > :12:15.tight. We are cutting back because it is common sense. I'm not going
:12:15. > :12:19.to buy cattle in for when we go clear again which might be six
:12:19. > :12:22.months. Why should I buy more cattle to come onto my farm to be
:12:22. > :12:25.re-infected by the wildlife. It does not make any sense.
:12:25. > :12:28.wildlife he means badgers. There were plans for a cull in an area of
:12:28. > :12:37.north Pembrokeshire, but in March that was scrapped, prompting anger
:12:37. > :12:43.and frustration. I think you are a coward, Minister, you should be on
:12:43. > :12:47.the yard watching this happen. You should see the stress you were
:12:47. > :12:50.putting these animals under. Instead the Welsh Government opted
:12:50. > :12:55.for a badger vaccination programme and more stringent cattle movement
:12:55. > :12:57.controls. The National Farmers Union says the tightening up of TB
:12:57. > :13:00.cattle control measures has been particularly hard on dairy farmers
:13:00. > :13:03.because it means a farmer with a new outbreak now cannot restock
:13:03. > :13:13.their herd for at least two months, leaving them with a depleted stock
:13:13. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:20.and a loss of income. If farmers have a 2p kept of their milk price,
:13:20. > :13:23.the income may be down by 30 or 40%. That puts Major pressure on some of
:13:23. > :13:27.these businesses. The Welsh Government says the changes are the
:13:27. > :13:30.result of an EU directive, but that it is working to try and increase
:13:30. > :13:33.support to farmers who are going through a difficult time. Elsewhere
:13:33. > :13:36.at the show, thoughts were on the recent milk price protests and new
:13:36. > :13:44.figure showing the UK dairy industry is falling behind the rest
:13:44. > :13:48.of Europe. Is it acceptable that we have less milk being produced in
:13:48. > :13:53.the United Kingdom and we import more products from other parts of
:13:53. > :13:56.the world? That will affect our balance of payments as a country.
:13:56. > :13:59.Record crowds show there is no lack of public support for the farming

:14:19. > :14:24.small part in Welsh football's new Many rail passengers travelling
:14:24. > :14:27.across to England are facing a big rise in fares next year. It has
:14:27. > :14:32.been caused by a surprise jump in the rate of inflation which is used
:14:32. > :14:36.as the basis to calculate increases. A decision will be made in the
:14:36. > :14:38.autumn about fare rises for journeys within Wales. Our business
:14:38. > :14:47.correspondent Nick Servini is at Cardiff Central train station for
:14:47. > :14:54.us. This is quite a complicated system, how will passengers in
:14:54. > :15:01.Wales be affected? A couple of systems at work here. The system in
:15:01. > :15:11.England, as we found out today, for all off-peak ticket sales will
:15:11. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:16.increase by 3% above inflation. For journeys within Wales, the fare
:15:16. > :15:21.rises are controlled by the Welsh government and we will find out
:15:21. > :15:25.what those will be in the autumn. The complication arises when we
:15:25. > :15:31.talk about cross-border services. About a third of rail journeys in
:15:31. > :15:35.Wales involve some form of cross- border movement and they will be
:15:35. > :15:41.affected by Today's increases. Services here on first Great
:15:41. > :15:47.Western from Cardiff and in North Wales are using Virgin Rail. The
:15:47. > :15:51.added complication is the extent of the exposure to that increase
:15:51. > :15:55.depending on how much of the journey takes place in Wales or
:15:55. > :15:58.England. Lots of rail passengers will be affected by this
:15:58. > :16:08.announcement especially on some of the main roads from Cardiff Central
:16:08. > :16:09.
:16:09. > :16:15.to Paddington station. What can we expect for Welsh only services?
:16:15. > :16:20.much simpler system. These services are run by Eddie the trains Wales.
:16:20. > :16:23.A fare increase will be decided by the Welsh government. Ever since
:16:24. > :16:28.there was government has that control over those fears, the
:16:28. > :16:30.increase has been by 1% above inflation. It is a fair bet that
:16:30. > :16:33.would be the same for while services.

:19:46. > :19:53.public. If you ask a question, sometimes you get in on last answer.
:19:53. > :19:58.-- you get an honest answer. If some members of the public to not
:19:58. > :20:05.respect us, officers seemed to be saying, why should we respect them?
:20:05. > :20:11.It is an honest answer. It reflects an accurate picture. If you go to a
:20:11. > :20:18.victim of a burglary, you will spend a bit more time with them
:20:18. > :20:24.than if you are having call to the same address 15 times where someone
:20:24. > :20:31.is drunk. It does worry me that some officers believe there are
:20:31. > :20:37.some people in society who are not worthy of help. That makes you
:20:37. > :20:43.think some people in the police force believe there are two classes
:20:43. > :20:47.of citizens. Does it suggest that some areas are getting second class
:20:47. > :20:53.services? I do not think second class is fair. Some areas may get a
:20:53. > :20:57.bit better treatment and I suppose it depends on treat others as they
:20:57. > :21:04.treat you. If someone is swearing at you then I suppose your ability

:21:09. > :21:15.from complimentary about the leadership of the force. Some
:21:15. > :21:19.members felt senior managers were out of touch. In response, the
:21:19. > :21:23.force said we have currently completed our third and will survey
:21:23. > :21:28.and as with the previous ones, the results will be used to draw up an
