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.

a difference to patrons of the hotel which bears the bridges name.

:19:16.:19:20.

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.

Talking about medals, winning an Olympic medals is the pinnacle of
