Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: The Welsh MP forced to | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
tone down a speech on immigration - Chris Bryant sparks a row with two | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
of Britain's biggest brands. Behind with the rent and in fear of | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
eviction. Derek Lewis is one of hundreds who've applied for | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
emergency help since changes to housing benefit. I was in care as a | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
child and found myself out on the streets on my 18th birthday. I do | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
not want to go back out onto the streets again because it is not a | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
nice experience. Struggling for a signal - the mobile | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
phone customers who say they're being let down by Orange and | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
T-Mobile. It costs �20,000 a time to clear up | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
gum in Cardiff city centre. Now 100 new bins to help stop littering. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Originally built for coal merchants to cross the River Dee, now one of | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
the oldest chain-link suspension bridges in the world will be | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
restored. And Olympic silver medallist Hannah | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Mills defending her world title - but there was disappointment for her | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:25. | ||
in France. Good evening. A Welsh MP is at the | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
heart of a damaging political row over immigration. Chris Bryant, the | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
MP for Rhondda and the Shadow Immigration Minister, today had to | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
tone down criticism of two of Britain's biggest retailers. He had | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
been due to give a speech accusing Tesco and Next of favouring East | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
European workers and overlooking British staff. A claim both | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
companies have denied strongly. Our political reporter Daniel Davies has | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:54. | ||
more. There has not been much growth in the economy recently and many | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
businesses have relied on foreign workers to take over. Chris Bryant | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
criticised both Tesco and Next for favouring foreigners after both | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
companies rejected claims against them. Mr Bryant den tones down his | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
attack but he still says there are legitimate questions. | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Now, of course short-term contracts and work are sometimes necessary in | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
order to satisfy seasonal spikes in demand. But when agencies bring such | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
a large number of workers of a specific nationality at a time when | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
there are one million young unemployed in Britain, it is right | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
to ask why that is happening. Eighteen-year-old Dan Clapham is one | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
of those young people desperate for work. I met him in Porth in Mr | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Bryant's constituency. He's got the qualifications, but can't find a | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
job. In September I come out of college and I past with good | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
grades. I went out looking for a job but it has been very tough for me. | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
You have applied for work but what has happened? I have had 56 | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
interviews but nothing else. Mr Bryant wants to know why firms | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
would go overseas when unemployment is so high at home. At the last | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
count there were 12,000 people out of work in Rhondda Cynon Taf. That's | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
more than one in ten of the working age population. This employment | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
:03:29. | :03:29. | ||
lawyer says... Whether businesses take on staff and the UK or | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
elsewhere the rules should be the same. People are subject to the same | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
rules and regulations that apply to us in the UK. They should be paid | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
the minimum wage and their taxes should be guilt with in the same | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
way. There is no discernible difference. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Out on the streets in Porth it's clear jobs and immigration are an | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
issue for some. The Eastern Europeans are very good at making | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
their own jobs. Polish shops are coming up all over the place. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Mr Bryant's speech also offered some policy ideas, an admission Labour | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
hadn't always got it right, and an attack on the UK government. But | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
will that message get through the clamour he's caused? | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
And Dan joins us now. Dan, it doesn't look good for the Labour | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
Party or Chris Bryant? Now, immigration is a sensitive issue. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
You can see that with the recent controversies over government | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
advertising vans that have been driving down the streets and telling | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
a legal immigrants to go home. Politicians know they must handle | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
this issue with care. You could not say that Mr Chris Bryant had done | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
that today. Parts of his speech had been leaked over the weekend | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
criticising Next and Tesco. Today he called them both good employers, not | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
scrupulous employers as he had previously said. There were basic | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
factual errors in the extracts of his speech that were leaked to the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
newspapers at the weekend and that has contributed to a distraction | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
that Labour could have done without. The number of people applying for | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
emergency help with their rent has increased dramatically since the | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
government introduced changes to housing benefit, according to | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
research carried out by Plaid Cymru. Across Wales, 21 local authorities | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
supplied figures, which show more than 35,000 households here are | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
affected by the changes. 11 councils got more claims for financial help | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
in the first few months following the changes than in the entire | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
previous financial year. Caroline Evans reports. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Derek Lewis from Cardiff is behind on his rent for his two-bedroom | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
flat. He is one of hundreds in Wales who has applied to his counsel for | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
emergency help to meet the extra cost of changes to housing benefit. | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
I do not think I will be able to meet my bills and I will have to pay | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
a different amount. I wanted to take my little girls on the day out | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
somewhere last week when there was good weather but that was difficult. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
According to the figures obtained by Plaid Cymru, they say in the Vale of | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
Glamorgan requests rose by 136 62 524 for April and June this year. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Wrexham had 59 in the whole of last year. In the first two months of | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
this financial year there were 219 applications. And in Swansea there | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
were 802 and the last financial year. This year there have been 820 | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
in April and May alone. You will see in several months' time when these | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
emergency payments run out of that people will not be able to pay their | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
rent, they will have run out of savings and we may well see the | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
beginning of evictions. At the Citizens Advice bureau in Pontypridd | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
they have certainly seen an increase in the number of people seeking help | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
since April when the UK government cut the amount of benefit available | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
to closing -- to council tenants with empty bedrooms. People cut down | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
on the in the food that they have to buy. They are dreading the winter | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
and thinking about their electricity bills. They will not be able to | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
afford to put the heating on. Department for Work and Pensions | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
points out there are millions of people in overcrowded homes on | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
waiting lists for social housing. Critics have dubbed the changes the | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
bedroom tax, but the UK government maintains it is removing what | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
amounts to be a subsidy for spare bedrooms. Those who are occupying | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
bigger homes than they require should not get the same level of | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
benefit as those who are occupying precise that the number of bedrooms | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
that they need. The UK government says that as with any major reform | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
things are being monitored closely but there is no evidence that | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
councils are running out of money to provide discretionary relief. Derek | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Lewis says he is willing to move so long as he can stay near his | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
children, but he has been told currently there is no one bedroom | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
accommodation available in his part of the city. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
A target for patients to be seen within four hours at Accident and | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Emergency departments has been narrowly missed. In June, 93% of | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
patients spent fewer than four hours from arrival until admission, | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
transfer or discharge compared with the target of 95%. The figures show | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :08:59. | ||
waiting times improved for the fourth successive month. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Gwent Police has been criticised for the way it disciplined an armed | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
officer who had sex with a married woman while on duty. The Independent | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Police Complaints Commission said a report into PC Shaun Jenkins's | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
conduct in Caerphilly in 2010 left out important information. The | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
officer was sacked after an IPCC appeal but reinstated on appeal. | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
They call themselves Everything Everywhere but it seems the mobile | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
phone company EE - formed by the merger of Orange and T-Mobile - is | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
failing to live up to its name in one part of the country. Users in | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Blaenau Ffestiniog say until two months ago they had a good service. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Now they complain it's patchy with business customers insisting they're | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:46. | ||
losing trade. Roger Pinney reports. This man says he knew from the start | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
he was unlikely to get through. The station is obvious. Hello, can you | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
hear me? Can you share me? This is how it has been for the best part of | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
two months now. Is that typical? Yes, that is how it works. I only | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
have two bars on my phone. It says it is 3G but it would take me a | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
break to get my e-mail! This problem is not just affecting a handful of | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
mobile phone users. Because EE used to provide the best service year, it | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
was extremely popular, not any more. We have been told those able to | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
switch have done so but it is not just everything everywhere that has | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
:10:46. | :10:49. | ||
started to lose trade. You are losing business and money? | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
couldn't honestly assess how much money we are losing on a | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
spreadsheet. We are losing money. People have contacted the company | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
and people have complained but there is different messages coming back to | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
different people depending on who they have spoken to. There is no' a | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
message from the company as to what the problem is and when it will be | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
fixed. Today we contacted EE on behalf of of its customers and they | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
promised us and cancer but it never arrived. It is time the company | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
started to live up to its name. Big changes are needed to the South | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Wales Valleys Lines once the London to Swansea rail line is electrified. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
That's according to the South East Wales Transport Alliance - the body | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
representing local councils and rail companies. They say more trains will | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
be needed to cope with growing demand. Our reporter Paul Heaney is | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
at a station in Cardiff for us tonight. Paul. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
The reason we are talking about trains and transport to the is that | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
the people that use the line is behind me and up and down the | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
south-east of Wales valleys have been asked as to what they think the | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
priority should be in the years to come in terms of improvement. I have | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
been looking at some of the proposals. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
More of us are using trains like this and the South Wales Valleys. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
80% more since the year 2000 and there are plenty of ways the service | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
could be improved. They could have more carriages on at the weekends. | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
They are OK at the moment but they could put more on at different | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
times. You cannot get on them during the summer holidays. The litigation | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
of the London two Swansea line by 2018 could mean overcrowding could | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
become a bigger problem. Lines like this one just to the south are | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
becoming more and more popular what this consultation is about is how to | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
improve services like this one to meet a growing number of passengers. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
The South East Wales Transport Alliance said and the group of vocal | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
councils and transport agents want big changes. Their list of | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
improvements include running more trains on the Vale of Glamorgan | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
lines. They also want 17 new stations in the suburbs of Cardiff | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
and another near Newport. They also propose an extension to this line | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
bringing it closer to the town centre. A consultation on the plans | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
runs until September but any decisions on improvements could be | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
years down the line. We know how much the litigation of | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
these lines will cost, �350 million. That is a lot of money in the | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
current climate but how much could all of the other improvements cost? | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Stuart McCall is a professor at the University of Singapore Wales. How | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
much extra could this cost? We are talking about �170 million or �200 | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
million by the time things are finished. Is this a realistic plan | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
over the next ten or 15 years? you divide 170 evenly which the | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
Welsh Government will be borrowing through Network Rail, just as the | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
same way it was boarded elsewhere. Why do decisions have to be made | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
immediately on these kind of things, as it is to get a good deal? | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
The money has been boarded -- borrowed and Network Rail and aware | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
of this. There is a lead time required for trains and that is why | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
the decision by the Welsh Government must be made for the trains because | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
they will need bigger trains and ones that can run with greater | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
capacity. Thank you for joining me. Unfortunately with some of the | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
bigger infrastructure projects, it could be years rather than months | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
before we get these decisions and the people who live here will be | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
hoping a decision is made sooner rather than later. | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Still to come tonight: On the water in La Rochelle, but it's not plain | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
sailing in France for our Olympic silver medallist. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
And it's one of the oldest chain-link suspension bridges in the | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
world, now the crossing at Llangollen is being restored. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
New chewing gum bins are popping up all over Cardiff in the first | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
project of its kind in Wales. One hundred bins - called Gumdrops - are | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
being put around the capital with Cardiff City Council saying it's | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
targeting chewing gum waste in a zero-tolerance campaign. But a | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
matter of days after they were installed, many of the bins seem to | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
have gone missing. Here's Matt Murray. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
These small but bright bins are popping up outside bars and | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
restaurants in the capital. The Gumdrop is designed to attract | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
passer-bys to put their used gum in here rather than on the floor. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
like it for two reasons. It is a bit different so we think it will draw | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
people's attention to the bends and also because the bins are made from | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
recycled chewing gum. You have the whole recycling aspect of it as well | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
as trying to reduce the litter on our streets. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
The bins are the first in Wales after originating on streets of | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
London. Across the UK it's estimated councils spend �200 million a year | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
on cleaning up chewing gum. For Cardiff Council every clean up | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
operation costs �20,000. We can never get the area as clean as we | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
would like it to be. Chewing gum is one of the most difficult elements | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
of that to deal with so we are trying something different to deal | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
with it. Although I am unsure as to how is excess will these bends are | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
proving, this one has more cigarette buts and it. They have only been up | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
for a few days but quite a few of them have already gone missing. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Perhaps eye-catching in the wrong way, these bins didn't survive their | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
first weekend and opinions were divided in the capital on just how | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
:17:13. | :17:15. | ||
successful they would be. I think it is a good idea. It looks like a bit | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
of a joke to be honest. I cannot see people stopping to put chewing gum | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
and them. It is a great idea and could save a lot of money. | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Nearly a billion packs of chewing gum are consumed every year in the | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
UK but less than 20% is disposed of in bins. The Gumdrop aims to change | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
that. One of the oldest chain-link | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
suspension bridges in the world will be fully restored and re-opened, | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
after being closed for 30 years. The Chainbridge in Llangollen was | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
originally built to allow coal merchants to cross the River Dee. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
But, as a footbridge, it fell into disrepair and was closed in the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
1980s. A �350,000 lottery grant means refurbishment can begin | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:06. | ||
shortly. Originally built in 1817 by coal | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
merchants to avoid paying road tolls, the bridge was replaced in | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
the 1870s. It was washed away by floods in 1928 and rebuilt once | :18:14. | :18:23. | |
more. Locals have been tried to reopen it to the public. We believe | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
some of the original links are in the bridge structure so it is trying | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
to maintain the integrity of the bridge. It is going to be a balance | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
between maintaining its historic significance when Pickering built | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
the bridge to shift call across the river and taking it forward to make | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
it a pedestrian bridge. Its restoration would mean that part | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
of Llangollen would be linked together. Places that have been | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
disconnected well the bridge has been out of action. It is popular | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
with those using the canal and the steam train. Reopening the crossing | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
will revitalise an area of outstanding natural beauty and make | :19:09. | :19:16. | |

someone who has come from Chester or someone who has come from Australia, | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
everyone will enjoy it. A lot of visitors ask about the bridge and | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
its history. It is a key element of this area. | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
The �350,000 lottery grant combined with local efforts should get under | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
way this summer. After 30 years it will bridge the gap in the history | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
of Llangollen. Claire's here now with all of | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
tonight's sport, starting with football. Lots of interest at | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Wales's training session today? Good Evening. Yes, plenty of press | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
interest and fans there to watch Wales train this afternoon, ahead of | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Wednesday's friendly with the Republic of Ireland. They were all | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
looking for one face in particular. Gareth Bale has joined up with the | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
squad but trained by himself with the physio. And confirmation tonight | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
he won't feature in the game on Wednesday. The 24-year-old, who's | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
nursing a foot injury, is still at the centre of speculation | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
surrounding a move to Real Madrid in a possible world-record transfer. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Aaron Ramsey and James Collins have also both withdrawn from the | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
friendly with injuries. At the World Championships in | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
Moscow, Wales's Dai Greene and Rhys Williams are both through to the | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
semifinals of the 400 metres hurdles. Williams finished fourth | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
and defending champion Greene finished fifth but ended up fourth | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
in his heat, after a disqualification. The 27-year-old, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
who's been suffering from injury and illness in the build up to the | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
championships, looked to be struggling and said he was relieved | :20:47. | :20:56. | |
to still be in the competition. spent all day in bed on Saturday and | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
I managed to train to some extent on Sunday. It is not ideal preparation | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
by any stretch of the imagination. I hope I can produce a better | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
performance tomorrow because the event is wide open. I need to rest | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
as much as possible. The Commonwealth Games Council for | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Wales has announced that netball, men's and women's hockey and rugby | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
7s - have qualified to represent Wales at the Commonwealth Games in | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
Glasgow next summer. It's the first time Wales will have a team | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
competing in all four of the team sport competitions and after missing | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
out on Delhi three years ago. The head coach of Welsh Netball says | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
it's a fair reflection of how high standards are in Wales right now. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
tell them that I am going for that medal. We have to go past New | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Zealand and Australia. Some of the girls were asking me, why go for a | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
bronze, let us go for the top. Welsh people should be proud to know that | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
we are going out to represent Wales in the best way that we can. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
Talking about medals, winning an Olympic medals is the pinnacle of | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
sporting achievement. This weekend sailor Hannah Mills found it is no | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
guarantee of future success. The 2012 silver medallist was in France | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
tried to defend her world title and her first competition since the | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Olympic Games. But it did not go to plan. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
The deal after a home Olympic scabby difficult to navigate. Hannah Mills | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
had taken ten months off after winning silver in Weymouth. She only | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
got back into overboard last month. When she and her partner were still | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
confident of winning their French title of the Atlantic coast. But | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
they made costly mistakes into key races and were disqualified in both | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
for jumping the start line. The finished and wealth. We always have | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
high expectations because we believe we are one of the best partnerships | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
out there and on our day we are fighting with the best of them. The | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
mistakes we made were elementary mistakes and there is not really any | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
excuse for that. One of us has said something this week and the other | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
one has gone, "what?" And then you remember the behaviours of your | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
partnership and stuff like that. We have not been sharp enough this week | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
to reclaim our title. The basic elements are still there you just | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
lose certain things from having time off. Their poor performance Meddy | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
did not qualify for the medal race on the final day. They spent it | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
divide and they're both a while their rivals headed out onto the | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
water. To wrap salt water into the wind, the day of disappointment came | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
exactly one year after they won their silver medal. It was an | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
incredible thing, the Olympics, and this week, having a bit of a bad | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
result, it makes you want to train and make sure it does not happen | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
again. The next Olympics is three years away, more than enough time to | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
make the necessary adjustments. Gold remains the goal. Hannah will travel | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
to real this summer to get a feel of the waters there. But they know they | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
cannot take their position for granted. Their foreign rivals will | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
also get better. The Olympic champions for London also won an La | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
Rochelle. It is the New Zealanders who have taken Hannah's world title | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
and they have shown just how difficult it is for athletes to | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
repeat success year-on-year. The hats this taste of defeat is exactly | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
what Hannah Mills needs to get back our competitive edge that she showed | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
in London last year. As the winners receive their medals, Anne was | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
already headed home, determined to be back on the podium sometime soon. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Cricket, Glamorgan's match against Somerset is underway. Somerset are | :25:10. | :25:17. | |

The showers are starting to die out this evening. The satellite picture | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
shows where we had the cloud earlier and there is some rain in the | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
forecast tomorrow. But it will turn brighter later on. Something evening | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
sunshine to end the day. Clear skies further South and a great evening | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
