:00:02. > :00:05.Welcome to Wales Today, our top story: A house-to-house search to
:00:05. > :00:15.find Ben Thompson, missing since Saturday's six nations match in
:00:15. > :00:16.
:00:16. > :00:22.Cardiff. Tonight his wife made a desperate appeal. I would ask
:00:22. > :00:31.anyone who saw him after 7pm on Saturday to please contact the
:00:31. > :00:40.police are urgently. Please help me find my husband. Find you. -- thank
:00:40. > :00:50.Our other headlines tonight: The over-50s were promised an annual
:00:50. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:57.health check, now Labour is accused of a U-turn. They promised us this,
:00:57. > :00:59.the promise as that and then everything comes to nothing. Sylvia
:00:59. > :01:06.and Alison looking back on their big day. Tonight every Welsh
:01:06. > :01:09.conservative MP looks set to vote against gay marriage. Could Gareth
:01:09. > :01:12.Bale be the answer to Wales' striker problem for the friendly
:01:12. > :01:20.against Austria? And the snow's back, at least for some of us, with
:01:20. > :01:23.a warning of more wintry weather on the way. Good evening. The wife of
:01:23. > :01:27.the missing rugby fan Ben Thompson has made an emotional appeal for
:01:27. > :01:30.help to find her husband. Around 20 people, family and friends have now
:01:30. > :01:32.come from Haverfordwest to Cardiff to join the search for the 34-year-
:01:32. > :01:40.old who disappeared following Saturday's Six Nations match in the
:01:40. > :01:42.city. Caroline Evans reports. Desperate for news today, Jo
:01:42. > :01:52.Thompson, together with her Brother and Ben's Mother and his twin
:01:52. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:01.brother, made a public appeal for help to find him. Ben is kind and
:02:01. > :02:09.loving, he is an exceptional friend which is why we have everyone here
:02:09. > :02:13.today looking for him. I would ask everyone who saw him after 7pm on
:02:13. > :02:18.Saturday to please contact the police. Please help me find my
:02:18. > :02:21.husband. 34-year-old Ben Thomspson had won tickets to Saturdays match.
:02:21. > :02:25.He'd travelled up with friends and gone drinking beforehand. After the
:02:25. > :02:32.game ended, he called his wife from the packed city centre, to tell her
:02:32. > :02:37.that he was heading to their favourite Cardiff pub. The won
:02:37. > :02:44.tickets to go in the box for the Rugby, he was very excited about it,
:02:44. > :02:54.he was a big a Rugby fan. At some point in the evening he left acute
:02:54. > :03:00.for the bar and made his way foot deep CCTV camera footage showing
:03:00. > :03:04.him on a particular road. He was last seen by his friends after the
:03:04. > :03:07.match, at around 6:30pm in Mill Lane. The area is well known for
:03:07. > :03:10.its bar and restaurants and would have been packed at the time. From
:03:10. > :03:13.there he's thought to have walked to Canton. At 17 minutes past seven,
:03:13. > :03:16.police now know he was at Lawrenny Avenue near Cardiff City's football
:03:16. > :03:25.ground. Today they issued this CCTV which shows him crossing Leckwith
:03:25. > :03:30.Road into Lawrenny Avenue. Anyone who recognises the hem, he was not
:03:30. > :03:35.wearing a red shirt that night but something that was light coloured.
:03:35. > :03:40.I today ask anyone who was picking their kids upon anything like that
:03:40. > :03:48.if they saw him that night to get in touch. His family say he knows
:03:48. > :03:54.his way through Cardiff by car but fear, on foot, he lost his way.
:03:54. > :04:00.think he was heading back to the hotel which was at the airport.
:04:00. > :04:07.plan was for him to stay there? he was, he was staying with a
:04:07. > :04:15.friend. Or try the plans now? to carry on searching, knocking on
:04:15. > :04:21.doors and trying to help the police in any way. That is what they did.
:04:21. > :04:30.They hope to turn up any information that might help. Police
:04:30. > :04:34.currently have 50 officers currently working on the case. For
:04:34. > :04:44.his family and friends every hour brings growing concern for his
:04:44. > :04:45.
:04:45. > :04:49.welfare. If you're over 50, the Government promised that you would
:04:49. > :04:52.be entitled to an annual GP check - an MOT if you like. But today the
:04:52. > :04:54.First Minister has been accused of going back on that election promise.
:04:54. > :04:57.Instead, there'll be an online system which will identify people
:04:57. > :05:04.who need to see their doctor. Here's Our Welsh Affairs Editor
:05:04. > :05:13.Vaughan Roderick. Most of us feel pretty good when we hit 15 nowadays.
:05:13. > :05:20.Like these pensioners we expect be extended life. We are in no doubt
:05:20. > :05:25.however about the importance of check-ups. Sometimes you are not
:05:25. > :05:32.aware of what is wrong with you, Diabetes comes on, things like that.
:05:32. > :05:39.I do think it is very important to have an annual check. The older you
:05:39. > :05:46.get, things happen. The sooner things are treated, the better.
:05:46. > :05:52.Labour pledged at the last election to set up a scheme for all over 50s,
:05:52. > :05:57.but the plans have been changed. It will now be what is described as a
:05:57. > :06:05.modern gateway on the internet. It is a massive climbdown according to
:06:05. > :06:11.the Conservatives. Plaid Cymru branded it a U-turn. Health checks
:06:11. > :06:18.led by GPs and nurses for the over- fifties are a firm commitment from
:06:18. > :06:28.the Welsh Government. What will this new website offer that is not
:06:28. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:34.already offered by NHS 24? It will allow GPs and other care
:06:34. > :06:44.commissioners to identify and contact those most at need for her
:06:44. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:51.care and advice. So is the new plan for a U-turn? Or is it a another
:06:51. > :06:55.way of delivering the election promise? Money has been set aside
:06:55. > :07:00.to pay for the system which the Government says will provide
:07:00. > :07:08.personally tailored services. Patients will be offered access to
:07:08. > :07:15.prevention services and for those who do not have alternative online
:07:15. > :07:19.access there will be something else for them. I am disappointed because
:07:19. > :07:26.the promise as this, the promise as that and everything counts for
:07:26. > :07:30.nothing. We have been promised one thing and now we are getting
:07:30. > :07:33.something different. It is being dressed up as the same thing and I
:07:33. > :07:37.do not think that is right. There will be relief among doctors who
:07:37. > :07:42.were worried about their surgeries being clogged up by people who did
:07:42. > :07:50.not really need to be there at all. Vaughan, U-turn, or is the
:07:50. > :07:54.Government sticking to their promise? If you read the Labour
:07:54. > :07:58.manifesto you would say that everybody would be offered an
:07:58. > :08:03.appointment to see their GP, a practice nurse maybe or a
:08:04. > :08:11.pharmacist. This is something very different. The Government says it
:08:11. > :08:21.is promising this opportunity but it really does not sound like it.
:08:21. > :08:26.Why the change? Other parties are calling it a U-turn on a climbdown
:08:26. > :08:29.but they think that maybe it was not a good idea in the first place.
:08:29. > :08:35.Some people might be concerned about their health but do not
:08:35. > :08:38.really need to be. It is those who are more difficult to reach, the
:08:38. > :08:41.Government system would not necessarily reach them. Is this
:08:41. > :08:44.politically damaging for Labour? The family of a girl who was killed
:08:44. > :08:54.after a wall collapsed on her near Prestatyn have had their campaign
:08:54. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:00.for the licensing of builders highlighted in the House of Commons.
:09:00. > :09:04.I think so. All this chipping away at the realignment of services and
:09:04. > :09:09.now aback track, that must be causing some damage to the Labour
:09:09. > :09:15.Party. We have heard lots tonight about what the politicians have had
:09:15. > :09:19.to say, what has the medical profession had to say? The medical
:09:19. > :09:23.profession were greatly concerned about the prospect of surgeries
:09:23. > :09:33.being full of people who had these appointments and did not really
:09:33. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:44.need them? Emergency services are tonight tackling a house fire in
:09:44. > :09:48.Bridgend. It is at two-storey mid- terrace house. These photos were
:09:48. > :09:54.taken by an neighbour just a few minutes ago. Police were also at
:09:54. > :09:58.the scene. The family of a girl who was killed after a wall collapsed
:09:58. > :10:02.on her have had their campaign to have builders licensed highlighted
:10:02. > :10:04.in the House of Commons. Meg Burgess was 3 when she died
:10:04. > :10:07.following the incident in Meliden five years ago. The man responsible
:10:08. > :10:17.for building the wall was jailed for two years. Today, her parents'
:10:18. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:24.local MP spoke in the commons. this case, despite the builder's 30
:10:24. > :10:30.years' experience he decided to cut corners. If the builder had
:10:30. > :10:32.followed guidelines then the little girl would still be alive today.
:10:33. > :10:34.Health Managers in North Wales have denied claims they are rushing
:10:35. > :10:37.through controversial changes to health services. Betsi Cadwaladr
:10:37. > :10:41.Health Board last month approved plans that would see some community
:10:41. > :10:47.hospitals close and big changes to specialist intensive care for
:10:47. > :10:50.babies. They've confirmed some will close within two weeks. Today,
:10:50. > :10:55.Denbighshire council postponed a vote of no confidence in the health
:10:55. > :10:57.board, to hold further discussions with managers. Parents of children
:10:58. > :11:01.at Cwmcarn High School say they're frustrated and confused after being
:11:01. > :11:09.told it will be at least another three weeks before a decision will
:11:09. > :11:12.be reached on whether to re-open the school. It's been closed since
:11:12. > :11:14.a report raised concerns about asbestos level in October, but
:11:14. > :11:24.yesterday a health and safety executive survey said levels were
:11:24. > :11:27.
:11:27. > :11:33.normal. Paul Heaney reports. It has been closed since October because
:11:33. > :11:39.of concerns about high levels of asbestos. The Health and Safety
:11:39. > :11:45.Executive said the amount in the ear at this high school was within
:11:45. > :11:55.acceptable levels. Many have been travelling by bus to another school
:11:55. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :12:00.which could cost the education of Faherty a million pounds by the end
:12:00. > :12:05.of the year. -- a quarter of a million pounds by the end of the
:12:05. > :12:12.year. We would not have missed so much education time for our
:12:12. > :12:16.children. It is just really frustrating for the pagans, the
:12:16. > :12:22.students and the teachers as well. Back in November special health
:12:22. > :12:24.clinics were set up to advise parents about the desk. The Health
:12:24. > :12:29.and Safety Executive says it was the right decision to close the
:12:29. > :12:34.school at the time but the situation has led to a bigger
:12:34. > :12:41.debate. The issue of asbestos in buildings has been discussed across
:12:41. > :12:47.the country. There are calls for a national database of where the
:12:47. > :12:52.material is used. Children being bussed 12 miles up the valley when
:12:52. > :12:57.there was asbestos in that school, brown asbestos which is very
:12:57. > :13:03.dangerous. If people had the right to know access to that information
:13:03. > :13:09.beforehand people would know what the situation was in their own
:13:09. > :13:17.school. The decision on whether to reopen the school will be made in
:13:17. > :13:27.the next month after a further report into asbestos levels.
:13:27. > :13:27.
:13:27. > :13:30.Much more to come before seven o'clock. Could Gareth Bale be the
:13:30. > :13:32.answer to Wales' striker problem for the friendly against Austria
:13:32. > :13:35.tomorrow? And the snow's back at least for
:13:35. > :13:38.some of us with a warning of more wintry weather on the way.
:13:38. > :13:42.MPs are voting tonight on whether to allow gay people to marry in
:13:42. > :13:44.Wales and England. All eight Welsh Conservative MPs are expected to
:13:44. > :13:50.vote against same-sex weddings. Live to Westminster and our
:13:50. > :13:55.parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock.
:13:55. > :14:00.Within the next 20 minutes MPs are expected to start of that vote on
:14:00. > :14:06.whether to legalise gay marriage. It is expected to go through but
:14:06. > :14:13.there is a lot of opposition from Conservatives in Wales. Sylvia
:14:13. > :14:16.Jones and Alison Proctor have been together for 22 years. The couple
:14:16. > :14:20.are already in a civil partnership and they would welcome the chance
:14:20. > :14:24.that gay couples to be able to choose to marry. We have always
:14:24. > :14:28.said that people were so supportive of civil partnerships and will be
:14:28. > :14:31.of marriage because everybody loves a good party. It is about
:14:31. > :14:38.celebrating people's love for each other and people's commitment to
:14:38. > :14:42.each other. That is what is important. For those people who are
:14:42. > :14:46.against it, they have a right to voice their opinions, but they are
:14:46. > :14:50.in the minority. The Welsh Secretary arriving at today's
:14:50. > :14:54.Cabinet meeting believe marriage means a union between a man and a
:14:54. > :15:00.woman. He and the other seven Welsh Tory MPs are expected to vote
:15:00. > :15:05.against the bill tonight. I feel redefining the meaning of marriage
:15:05. > :15:09.will inflict damage on the institution of marriage. It is a
:15:09. > :15:14.difficult issue. I know a lot of people disagree with me but that is
:15:14. > :15:20.my distinct -- instinctive opinion. It has split the Conservative Party
:15:20. > :15:23.from the Cabinet to grassroots activists. This man is the former
:15:23. > :15:30.chairman of the Monmouth Conservative Association. I have
:15:30. > :15:35.had a couple of resignations as my time. I have had resignations as
:15:35. > :15:39.chairman of the local branch here in Chepstow. I have not had any
:15:39. > :15:44.body come to me suggesting that this is a desirable position to
:15:44. > :15:48.take. The Church in Wales opposes same-sex marriage and its clergy
:15:48. > :15:53.won't be able to carry out gay weddings are less his governing
:15:53. > :16:00.body later decides to opt in under the new law. One pro gay marriage
:16:00. > :16:04.MP hopes it will do so. It is a regret to me my Church does not
:16:04. > :16:09.allow same-sex marriage. They will not be forced to do so under the
:16:09. > :16:13.proposed legislation and they could not be a more respectful compromise.
:16:13. > :16:16.The Church is happy with the compromise that the members of his
:16:16. > :16:22.complaint -- congregation would be able to name the day for some time
:16:22. > :16:31.yet. It has the overwhelming support of
:16:31. > :16:37.almost all the Labour MPs in Wales. It is not the only problem facing
:16:37. > :16:40.David Jones, the Welsh Secretary, because the Daily Telegraph has
:16:40. > :16:44.photographed him being chauffeur- driven in a Jaguar V 100 metres
:16:44. > :16:49.between his office in Whitehall and that Cabinet meeting in Downing
:16:49. > :16:52.Street that we saw him in my report. He says he had to be driven there
:16:52. > :16:57.because he had papers he was working on right up to the Cabinet
:16:57. > :17:07.meeting. Labour say he is wasting public money and they have a new
:17:07. > :17:14.
:17:14. > :17:16.nickname for him, does the Jaguar. -- Jones the Jaguar.
:17:16. > :17:19.A meeting of Welsh language musicians is underway in Cardiff
:17:19. > :17:22.this evening. They're members of the group Eos in dispute with the
:17:22. > :17:25.BBC over how much they get paid when their songs are played on
:17:25. > :17:28.Over 300 composers and publishers. Our arts and media correspondent
:17:28. > :17:31.Huw Thomas is at Chapter Arts Centre where the meeting is taking
:17:31. > :17:41.place It has no plans to close the city's
:17:41. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:46.riding school despite recent 300 composers have signed their
:17:46. > :17:50.broadcast rights to this new company, Eos. Some of them have
:17:50. > :17:53.been arriving here for a meeting which has just gone under way. Eos
:17:53. > :17:58.is trying to negotiate a higher rate every time their members music
:17:58. > :18:03.is played on Radio Cymru. When Radio Cymru lost their right to
:18:03. > :18:07.play the music, they lost the right to about 30,000 songs and has been
:18:07. > :18:11.broadcasting with a reduced service since January. This is a
:18:11. > :18:16.development that has come to pass in the last hour, the BBC has begun
:18:16. > :18:21.the process of taking Eos to a Copyright Tribunal in an attempt to
:18:21. > :18:24.resolve this issue and find a fair price for this music. I spoke to a
:18:24. > :18:28.member of the Eos board before he went into this meeting and he was
:18:28. > :18:33.clear he was unhappy with this development and this is what he had
:18:33. > :18:38.to say. We have taken legal advice on that today so we will be
:18:38. > :18:42.considering our position. What is disappointing is why as we thought
:18:42. > :18:49.we were negotiating with the BBC on their term, we were preparing
:18:49. > :18:52.ground for this. The BBC has sent it to approve her to come to an
:18:52. > :18:55.agreement without going to a Copyright Tribunal and it still
:18:55. > :19:00.hopes to do that. It does say it remains the focus to avoid the
:19:00. > :19:06.tribunal process but it would allow a fair decision on a transparent
:19:06. > :19:11.process. What is going on in that meeting behind do? Away any closer
:19:11. > :19:17.to irresolution? The hot topic is this new Copyright Tribunal threat
:19:17. > :19:22.which has emerged tonight. The are the nitty-gritty of this, what is
:19:22. > :19:28.considered to be a fair price? What is the price Eos members would
:19:28. > :19:32.accept? By all accounts irresolution still appears to be a
:19:32. > :19:38.long way off especially if a rather long drawn-out and complicated
:19:38. > :19:42.tribunal process is about to get under way. Cardiff council says it
:19:42. > :19:45.has no plans to close the city's riding school despite recent press
:19:45. > :19:49.reports and concerns. The authority says Cardiff Riding School will
:19:49. > :19:52.remain open until a third party has been found to run it. It also says
:19:53. > :19:56.it has no plans to sell of land associated with the school.
:19:56. > :19:58.How to keep our children safe online. That's the aim of a new
:19:58. > :20:07.project launched by Wales' Children's Commissioner. It'll
:20:07. > :20:10.study how children use the internet and digital media.
:20:10. > :20:17.The principles are the same as they are in trying to protect children
:20:17. > :20:23.in any setting. The most important thing if you are operating a good
:20:23. > :20:27.learning environment, is is it safe. This is a place where children feel
:20:27. > :20:32.safe. They are talking about all for -- sorts of things with trusted
:20:32. > :20:40.adults. There is a job for parents, carers to engage with their
:20:40. > :20:42.children and young people to make sure they use the internet see free.
:20:42. > :20:45.-- safely. Wales football manager Chris
:20:45. > :20:47.Coleman says he's considering playing star man Gareth Bale out of
:20:47. > :20:50.position as a striker during tomorrow's friendly against Austria.
:20:50. > :20:53.Bale trained with the squad today alongside Craig Bellamy who's set
:20:53. > :20:56.to play his first game for Wales for six months. Coleman says it's
:20:56. > :21:02.his strongest squad since taking charge a year ago. Here's our
:21:02. > :21:05.sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. With a freezing wind whistling in
:21:05. > :21:09.off the sea, Wales players were bracing themselves for a chilly
:21:09. > :21:12.afternoon on the training pitch as they boarded the team coach at
:21:12. > :21:16.their base in Cardiff Bay. The sight of the Premier League's
:21:16. > :21:20.otters property, Gareth Bale, climbing aboard will warm the
:21:20. > :21:25.hearts of fans. His form for Tottenham has been nothing short of
:21:25. > :21:30.spectacular. Such is his talent, they are considering switching him
:21:30. > :21:33.to the position of striker. An idea that Chris Coleman is looking at.
:21:33. > :21:38.Bail will start in his usual position tomorrow but could be
:21:38. > :21:44.switched during the game. When he is in the mood he is unstoppable.
:21:44. > :21:48.He is very strong and so quick and good with the ball. You see him in
:21:48. > :21:52.the Premier League. Chris Coleman seemed surprised to have his best
:21:52. > :21:56.players available, a spate of withdrawals is often the norm for
:21:56. > :22:00.friendlies. The icing on the cake is definitely the return of Craig
:22:00. > :22:02.Bellamy after the six-month absence. He told reporters yesterday he
:22:03. > :22:08.wants to retire early from international football because it
