:01:05. > :01:10.take on the Republic of Ireland. The build-up is dominated by Gareth
:01:10. > :01:14.Bale. Will he complete a big money move to Real Madrid? The Spanish
:01:14. > :01:18.media are here, even though he's not playing!
:01:19. > :01:28.And as both Swansea and Cardiff City look ahead to the start of the
:01:29. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:34.Premier League, has football become Good evening. How we generate our
:01:34. > :01:37.energy is under the spotlight once again. It comes as a company says it
:01:37. > :01:40.would like to burn coal underground and use the gas to generate
:01:40. > :01:43.electricity. If given planning permission, it could mean drilling
:01:43. > :01:47.under the Loughor estuary near Llanelli, one of Wales' most
:01:47. > :01:57.protected natural habitats. The process is called coal gasification,
:01:57. > :02:00.
:02:00. > :02:03.and has already created some local opposition. Could the future Welsh
:02:03. > :02:10.energy be lying under the water? The company behind the plans once
:02:10. > :02:14.planning permission to drill here, below the Loughor estuary to
:02:14. > :02:19.generate electricity. The process is called underground coal gasification
:02:19. > :02:23.which means injecting oxygen into the ground to ignite the coal. The
:02:23. > :02:27.gas produced is brought to the surface to be used to create power.
:02:27. > :02:33.The process is different to fracking, where fluid is pumped into
:02:33. > :02:38.the ground at high pressure to fracture shale rock. Here in
:02:38. > :02:42.south-west Wales, coal gasification already causing controversy.
:02:42. > :02:47.concern is for the environment, any damage that could be done to the
:02:47. > :02:51.local environment. Also, this is a fossil fuel which is contributing to
:02:51. > :02:56.carbon emissions and climate change. We also have a specific
:02:56. > :03:01.concern about this specific process in that it could lead to subsidence
:03:01. > :03:04.in the area. The company hoping to mine here says it is important to
:03:04. > :03:12.address our overreliance on gas imported from Russia and the Middle
:03:12. > :03:16.East. We are blessed around our shores with millions and billions of
:03:16. > :03:24.tonnes of coal. Now there is a technology that we want access to
:03:24. > :03:28.convert it cleanly into gas, with potential huge benefits for the
:03:28. > :03:34.country. Cluff Natural Resources was granted a licence to extract gas
:03:34. > :03:39.from here and from the DS jury back in January but it'll have to secure
:03:39. > :03:46.other various planning and other permits before work can get under
:03:46. > :03:51.way. -- and from the Dee Estuary. Another company was granted a permit
:03:51. > :03:54.like that. That has now expired. On the other side of the Gower
:03:54. > :04:00.Peninsula, there are calls for more information about what could lie
:04:00. > :04:04.ahead. It is a new technology. One of the problems with it is that you
:04:04. > :04:10.don't really know what is going to happen, and if all you get is the
:04:10. > :04:14.sound bites of the PR man, of the people who are putting it forward,
:04:14. > :04:20.then experience has shown you can't trust those completely. So, we need
:04:20. > :04:25.hard evidence. Cluff Natural Resources insists coal gasification
:04:25. > :04:29.is safe and there wouldn't be a blight on the landscape. The company
:04:29. > :04:32.plans to speak to local residents to allay their concerns but more
:04:32. > :04:38.immediately a public meeting is being held in Llanelli this evening.
:04:38. > :04:42.Our Environment correspondent joins me now. We have heard about
:04:42. > :04:47.applications to extract gas before, haven't we? Why do they cause so
:04:47. > :04:50.much controversy? It seems that any energy generation causes
:04:50. > :04:57.controversy, whether we are talking about nuclear, wind farms,
:04:57. > :05:01.incineration. Here, we are talking about gasification of coal, which is
:05:01. > :05:07.basically because of new techniques brought in from the oil industry,
:05:08. > :05:11.instead of drilling out at sea, where there are billions of coal
:05:11. > :05:17.reserves, and using the gas from that allotted then generate
:05:17. > :05:23.electricity. It is different to fracking in terms of finding gas
:05:24. > :05:27.underground. It is about coal under the sea. Potentially, there is
:05:27. > :05:35.potential to have gas, and there is potential to create work, and there
:05:35. > :05:39.is potential to import less gas. That is only potential. There is a
:05:39. > :05:46.long way to go in terms of planning permission, evidence, showing this
:05:46. > :05:50.can work commercially, and also an environment assessment. This seems
:05:50. > :05:54.to highlight the quantity of gas that we have and how it could
:05:54. > :05:59.potentially help to create energy. Not just gas. We're talking about
:05:59. > :06:09.all types of different energy. We have to close our old coal-fired
:06:09. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:17.power stations. We used all our coal we had. Now this is a new
:06:17. > :06:22.generation, a second-generation. And the are keen to see whether we can
:06:22. > :06:28.get gas underground from coal or gas, and use it to import less gas
:06:28. > :06:31.from Norway and cat are, and from Algeria. The price of gas is also
:06:31. > :06:35.escalating, which is another reason the UK government and private
:06:35. > :06:38.companies are interested. I am sure we will be hearing much more about
:06:38. > :06:41.this. Thank you. Police want to speak to two
:06:41. > :06:44.teenagers after a fire started deliberately gutted part of one of
:06:44. > :06:47.Wales' oldest rugby clubs. Part of the stand, and the bar of Maesteg
:06:47. > :06:51.Rugby Club, which had just been renovated, have been destroyed by
:06:51. > :06:58.the blaze. This is where we played New Zealand
:06:58. > :07:07.in 1992. We will never get those back. 24 rows ago, the walls of
:07:07. > :07:11.Maesteg Rugby Club or covered with its history. And all our past
:07:11. > :07:18.history of players, International is, some of these pictures, they go
:07:18. > :07:21.back to 1910, 1908. This is how it looked a few years ago. Its takings
:07:21. > :07:25.and bookings are a means of survival and only weeks ago, thousands of
:07:26. > :07:32.pounds and a lot of hard work went into renovating it. For the fans who
:07:32. > :07:34.have propped it up for the past 20 years, it is hard to take in.
:07:34. > :07:40.getting it right on the field as well, and now we're back-to-school
:07:40. > :07:48.one. And all that memorabilia upstairs, it is gone, it's over 100
:07:48. > :07:52.years old. It is something that cannot be replaced. Sad. When you
:07:52. > :07:56.come downstairs, you could be forgiven for thinking this room is
:07:56. > :08:00.relatively untouched. You can still see the photographs, the cups, the
:08:00. > :08:05.history of Maesteg Rugby Club on the walls. But the damage here is great.
:08:05. > :08:08.The room is flooded and everywhere you go, there is a strong smell of
:08:08. > :08:12.thick acrid black smoke. Investigators say the fire was
:08:12. > :08:18.started deliberately in the sponsors area of the stand. A group of
:08:18. > :08:22.teenagers were seen on the pitch just before. Two climbed over the
:08:22. > :08:29.wall from the car park. Police want to know who they are and think
:08:29. > :08:34.someone must already know. Maesteg, like any towns in the valleys, this
:08:34. > :08:38.club is an integral part of the community. I'm convinced that
:08:38. > :08:43.members of this community know the identities of these individuals.
:08:43. > :08:51.get to this corner and this is the only untouched part. Club ties
:08:51. > :08:55.presented from touring teams. There is not a mark on it. That is a bit
:08:55. > :08:59.of hope there, that is what the club will be back in. That optimism
:08:59. > :09:03.starts now with the first home game in just four weeks time, training
:09:03. > :09:07.goes ahead as planned at the club tonight.
:09:07. > :09:10.A man from Pembroke has died after falling from a balcony in Ibiza.
:09:10. > :09:14.24-year-old Grant Weston was on holiday with a group of friends when
:09:14. > :09:18.he died in San Antonio on Wednesday. Police on the island are questioning
:09:18. > :09:21.his friends but his death is not being treated as suspicious.
:09:21. > :09:26.A former mayor of Denbigh accused of causing an explosion and setting
:09:26. > :09:31.fire to two cars has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
:09:31. > :09:34.Town councillor John Larsen held the post of mayor in 1999. He's accused
:09:34. > :09:38.of six charges, including three of arson and two of possessing
:09:38. > :09:43.explosives. His trial is expected to start at Mold Crown Court in
:09:43. > :09:46.October. It's been confirmed that the Duke of
:09:46. > :09:50.Cambridge will leave his posting as a search and rescue helicopter pilot
:09:50. > :09:54.at RAF Valley on Anglesey next month. In a speech at the Anglesey
:09:54. > :10:04.Show, he thanked the people of the island for giving him and his wife
:10:04. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:08.such a warm welcome. Roger Pinney is at the Showground for us tonight.
:10:09. > :10:15.Anglesey has been Prince William's home for the past three years. It's
:10:15. > :10:20.been for his first term as a married man, now he is a dad as well. -- his
:10:20. > :10:24.first home as a married man. So many people on the island, so many people
:10:24. > :10:30.in the showground, had their fingers crossed that Prince George would
:10:30. > :10:33.make an appearance as well. That wasn't to be. It was something
:10:34. > :10:36.Prince William apologised for, in his way.
:10:36. > :10:46.Relaxed and informal, the hallmarks of this particular Royal Princess.
:10:46. > :10:50.Of duty from his pilot duties, this was an important engagement. His
:10:50. > :11:00.first since the birth of his son. And possibly his last here as a
:11:00. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:18.known somewhere as beautiful and welcoming as Anglesey. The views
:11:18. > :11:23.across the Strait are undoubtedly among the most stunning in the
:11:23. > :11:28.British Isles. I know that both of us will miss it terribly when my
:11:28. > :11:32.duty comes to an end next month and we have to move elsewhere. If this
:11:32. > :11:39.was an official outing, there were times today when it didn't feel like
:11:39. > :11:44.one. William appeared to have time for everyone, from high-fives, to
:11:44. > :11:48.gifts to three-week-old George. was talking to lots of people. He
:11:48. > :11:55.seemed to get involved in the crowd. He's gorgeous! And he's very
:11:55. > :12:01.good at talking Welsh. He said he loved it here in Anglesey. He was
:12:01. > :12:05.very friendly and open with the audience that was surrounding him.
:12:05. > :12:12.And what about this encounter? like to say thank you for rescuing
:12:12. > :12:16.me. Was it you? From the beach?Yes. Sian was rescued from an Anglesey
:12:16. > :12:26.beach by the Prince's helicopter. I'm glad you're feeling better. When
:12:26. > :12:31.you go out next time, beware of the conditions. Three years ago, he
:12:31. > :12:35.joined the search and rescue crews at RAF Valley. It was here he
:12:35. > :12:41.brought his wife to be Kate for their first engagement as a couple.
:12:41. > :12:45.Three years in which Anglesey has been home for the Prince and the
:12:45. > :12:48.Duchess. Judging from what he told me before his wedding, plenty of
:12:48. > :12:53.time for the couple to fall for Anglesey as well. We wouldn't rule
:12:53. > :13:00.out having a house in Anglesey permanently. I really do love it
:13:00. > :13:05.here. We could see more of you in the future? We could be. We will see
:13:05. > :13:12.how it pans out. I adore it here. public farewell today, but you can
:13:12. > :13:19.be sure it will not be for good. From the warmth of Prince William's
:13:19. > :13:24.words, we got a real sense of the affection both he and Catherine hold
:13:24. > :13:28.Anglesey and its people. This has been a golden period in their lives,
:13:28. > :13:32.a place they've had privacy they might not ever get again. And at
:13:32. > :13:39.places been able to get on and do a job he clearly enjoys. We are told
:13:39. > :13:41.that his tour of duty at RAF Valley ends next month. So, will there be
:13:42. > :13:46.another public engagement here before them, or shortly afterwards?
:13:46. > :13:50.I've spoken to his officials, they say they haven't ruled it out. And
:13:50. > :13:52.the people of Anglesey will be hoping that that time it will
:13:52. > :13:56.include Prince George, too. Back to you.
:13:56. > :13:59.Still to come on the programme: Tonight's sport, dominated by
:14:00. > :14:04.football. We're an hour away from kick-off as
:14:04. > :14:06.Wales take on the Republic of Ireland. This evening, there's
:14:06. > :14:15.interest here from Spain, as speculation mounts about Gareth
:14:15. > :14:19.Bale's record-breaking move to Real Madrid.
:14:19. > :14:22.For thousands of pupils in Wales, the wait is nearly over. Tomorrow
:14:22. > :14:27.morning, youngsters across the country will get their A level
:14:27. > :14:30.results. For some it'll be a day of celebration, but what if things
:14:30. > :14:40.don't go to plan? Our education correspondent Arwyn Jones weighs up
:14:40. > :14:40.
:14:40. > :14:44.the options. It is a site which will no doubt be
:14:44. > :14:48.repeated across Wales tomorrow as thousands of youngsters get their
:14:48. > :14:53.A-level results. Many will get what they want and get to university. For
:14:53. > :14:56.those that don't get the grades, all is not lost. A lot of students seem
:14:57. > :15:02.to think that if they don't get exactly the grade they got on the
:15:02. > :15:05.offer they had from the University that everything is lost. It is our
:15:05. > :15:11.experience that in clearing, if a student gets busy tomorrow, they
:15:11. > :15:14.will get a place usually by the weekend. Lydia Robert Paul is the
:15:14. > :15:19.pints as she waits for her results. She hopes to go to Oxford to study
:15:19. > :15:22.politics if she gets the grades but knows it is not everyone. If you
:15:22. > :15:27.want to something like an apprenticeships, like hairdressing,
:15:27. > :15:32.that is a good way to go if you don't want to go to uni. I don't
:15:32. > :15:38.think it's the only option and it's good for some people. For me, I'd
:15:38. > :15:41.much like the academic pathway. out of ten students from Welsh
:15:41. > :15:46.universities get a job or are in training within six months of
:15:46. > :15:55.graduating but there are questions about the kind of work they get.
:15:55. > :15:59.Their average salary is �19,500. Less than the UK average of �21,000.
:15:59. > :16:02.Near Wrexham, Aaron Davis is a lifeguard and he got his A-level
:16:02. > :16:11.results last year but took a year round. The lesson here, there is no
:16:11. > :16:14.need to rush. I took a year out to save money and also because I wanted
:16:14. > :16:20.to go to the University that I wanted to go to. That was important
:16:20. > :16:27.to me. So I have saved enough money to go down to London. If people are
:16:27. > :16:32.worried, this website could help. It is run by a charity and there is a
:16:32. > :16:39.helpline, too. Thousands of young people have already used it. What if
:16:39. > :16:43.things don't go to plan at all? That's where people like this can
:16:44. > :16:47.help. They offer careers advice and there is plenty to choose from.
:16:47. > :16:54.There may be apprenticeships available, where they can train on

:17:06. > :17:13.He's got an apprenticeship with JCB. It enables me to earn money whilst
:17:13. > :17:16.I'm learning. It also gives me some free time, which is great, being my
:17:16. > :17:22.age, I've got money in my pocket and I don't need to undertake another
:17:22. > :17:25.job. There is a job prospect at the end of it. Three different routes.
:17:25. > :17:30.The message is the same. There are plenty of opportunities out there.

:18:23. > :18:26.Football, and Wales take on the Republic of Ireland tonight in a
:18:26. > :18:30.friendly, but the build-up has been dominated by one man, who won't be
:18:30. > :18:35.playing tonight. Tomos Dafydd is at the Cardiff City Stadium for us.
:18:35. > :18:39.Tomos. There is a game on tonight but the
:18:39. > :18:45.build-up has been dominated by one man, Gareth Bale. Speculation
:18:45. > :18:50.mounting of a big-money move to Real Madrid, in excess of �18 million,
:18:50. > :18:55.which would make Gareth Bale the most expensive footballer ever. --
:18:55. > :18:59.�80 million. There's plenty of interest from Spain, too. There's a
:18:59. > :19:04.handful of Spanish journalists watching on, even though Gareth is
:19:04. > :19:09.not playing. Earlier, I saw some of the footballers taking in the
:19:09. > :19:12.stadium. Ashley Williams also caught a glimpse of the Republic of Ireland
:19:12. > :19:19.manager Giovanni Trapattoni. The big story this week is about Gareth
:19:19. > :19:25.Bale. And his potential move to Spain. Chris Coleman says it hasn't
:19:25. > :19:30.affected his side's preparation. He might have hoped training with Wales
:19:30. > :19:35.would provide a haven from all the hype but despite not playing because
:19:35. > :19:38.of a foot injury, Gareth Bale is so making headlines over a potential
:19:39. > :19:45.move to Madrid. Rarely do you find Spanish journalists covering Wales
:19:45. > :19:53.game. A handful of them are staying at the team hotel and they are in no
:19:53. > :19:59.doubt where Gareth Bale will end up. Normally, when he wants a
:19:59. > :20:06.player, he gets it. We had a sedan, fico. And now Gareth Bale is the
:20:06. > :20:10.player that he wants. And I think he is going to get him. If rail Madrid
:20:10. > :20:16.get their man, Gareth Bale would become the most expensive player
:20:17. > :20:26.ever in a deal worth more than �80 million. Golfing fees played to pay
:20:27. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:37.for other players, 15 million paid for Joe Allen, and 14 million paid
:20:37. > :20:40.for Craig Bellamy. Regardless where he plays, Chris Coleman is sure he
:20:40. > :20:47.will be committed to the Wales side but he thinks it would be a culture
:20:47. > :20:51.shock for him to move to Spain. Everything is scrutinised in Spain.
:20:51. > :20:55.You can't move. You get used to it. It was a bit daunting when I moved
:20:55. > :21:01.there. The first thing you've got to do is learn the language, get into
:21:01. > :21:06.the culture, understand what they are about. Gareth Bale will join
:21:06. > :21:09.some of the finest footballers at Madrid, where players are mobbed,
:21:09. > :21:14.even after routine training sessions. And it could be an
:21:14. > :21:24.opportunity to market his talents and create brand Gareth Bale.
:21:24. > :21:27.Madrid are a world brand. Belmont use Gareth Bale for marketing and
:21:27. > :21:32.merchandising because they would expect an immediate rush of people
:21:32. > :21:36.to buy his shirts. While the deal hasn't been done, speculation will
:21:36. > :21:43.go on. Wales will hope the focus will return to matters on the pitch
:21:44. > :21:48.and prove they can perform without their in demand star player. Plenty
:21:48. > :21:52.to talk about. Let's talk to Rob Phillips, our football
:21:52. > :21:56.correspondent. So, the transfer talk, has it been a distraction?
:21:56. > :21:59.Chris Coleman insists it hasn't, but as you made the point, the Spanish
:21:59. > :22:05.journalists are here today, as they have been in the team hotel, which
:22:06. > :22:09.has been different for fish wells -- for this Welsh squad. Wales have to
:22:09. > :22:13.cope without him tonight because of injury, so they have to show they
:22:13. > :22:17.can do that and win without him. Some say it is an awkward time to
:22:17. > :22:22.have an international friendly, days before the Premier League season,
:22:22. > :22:25.what will Wales game tonight? have four World Cup qualifiers to
:22:25. > :22:29.play in the autumn and these games are very few and far between, a
:22:30. > :22:33.chance the Chris Coleman to get his squad together. There are injury
:22:33. > :22:36.absentees other than Gareth Bale, but a win would put them in a good
:22:36. > :22:40.mood. Thank you very much. And you'll be able to listen to
:22:40. > :22:45.Rob's commentary on Match Of The Day Wales over on BBC Two Wales at
:22:45. > :22:55.11:20. Live commentary, too, on BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru. Updates
:22:55. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:01.online, too. You won't miss any of the action here on the BBC. The most
:23:01. > :23:04.lucrative Football League gets going again and for the first time there
:23:04. > :23:07.two Welsh teams competing in the Premier League. With so much
:23:07. > :23:11.attention given to Welsh football, as it ever taken rugby as the
:23:11. > :23:14.national game? This report now from Matt Murray.
:23:14. > :23:17.Rugby has always had a particular hold on the national psyche of
:23:17. > :23:26.Wales. The Six Nations tournament sees hundreds of thousands of fans
:23:26. > :23:30.pour on to the streets of our capital. Come on, Wales! The sport
:23:30. > :23:32.is part of our culture and has been for more than 150 years. But does
:23:32. > :23:38.rugby still reign supreme? Former Cardiff City captain, Jason Perry,
:23:38. > :23:45.believes things changed a long time ago. He now runs a football academy
:23:45. > :23:48.at Bridgend College. There's nothing better than seeing both sports do
:23:48. > :23:51.well but in terms of participation levels, the amount of people who
:23:51. > :23:58.watch the game, the number of fields, the number of players in
:23:58. > :24:01.Wales, I do believe football is the biggest sport in Wales. Even people
:24:01. > :24:05.with a rugby background will admit to that. A view not shared here at
:24:05. > :24:08.this rugby academy in Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan. It's recently
:24:08. > :24:12.become a WRU School of Rugby. These pupils are coming in on their summer
:24:12. > :24:15.holidays to train and play the sport they love. Matt Silva has
:24:15. > :24:19.represented his country at the highest level and played against New
:24:19. > :24:28.Zealand. He's now in charge at this academy and believes Rugby is still
:24:28. > :24:31.the sport which gets children out early on a wet Wednesday. Going into
:24:31. > :24:38.international matches, rugby sells out, full stadiums every game. For
:24:38. > :24:41.football? No. They struggled to sell tickets. The Football Association of
:24:41. > :24:43.Wales recently argued that more people are watching and playing
:24:43. > :24:46.football than ever before. With 1,500 football clubs in Wales
:24:46. > :24:54.compared to just over 300 rugby clubs and numbers playing the game
:24:55. > :25:01.outstrip Rugby on a three-to-one basis. What do these budding sports
:25:01. > :25:06.stars prefer? Football. More people watch it. Rugby is a day out when
:25:06. > :25:10.Wales are playing. Cardiff are in the Premier League, and Swansea.
:25:10. > :25:15.national team has had a lot of success in recent years. And a lot
:25:15. > :25:18.of attention has been focused to the youth side of rugby. So the
:25:18. > :25:22.development can come through. the debate is certain to rumble on
:25:22. > :25:25.with Wales defending their Six Nations title and two Welsh clubs in
:25:25. > :25:29.the Premier League. Only one thing is for certain it promises to be
:25:29. > :25:32.another exciting season of Welsh sport.
:25:32. > :25:37.I'm sure Matt Murray's report has started heated debates at homes
:25:37. > :25:41.across the country. Well, we are just days away now from the start of
:25:41. > :25:45.the Premier League. Later this week, we'll be at Swansea City and Cardiff
:25:45. > :25:53.City, looking ahead to the start of an exciting new era of top flight
:25:53. > :25:57.football. Well, the weather is not perfect but tonight's game. Sue has
:25:57. > :26:05.the forecast. Any Not great news for the football
:26:05. > :26:11.Cricket. It's looking dull, damp, largely cloudy with drizzle. More of
:26:11. > :26:15.the same tomorrow. Tomorrow, it is cloudy, mystic and murky, and we
:26:15. > :26:21.will see heavy bursts of rain pushing in from the north-west, much
:26:21. > :26:28.milder than in recent nights. Overnight lows of around 16 or 17.
:26:28. > :26:31.Tomorrow, another cloudy day, rain at times. The odd bright spell. By
:26:31. > :26:38.the afternoon, it banned of heavy and persistent rain begins to push
:26:38. > :26:45.on from the West -- a band of heavy and persistent rain. Temperatures
:26:45. > :26:50.creeping up into the low 20s. 21 in Conwy, but then tomorrow a cold
:26:50. > :26:57.front pushes through bringing heavy rain. 20 or 30 millimetres, and inch
:26:57. > :27:01.possible. That and of rain will clear eastwards early on Friday
:27:01. > :27:05.morning. We have drier day with variable cloud, sunny spells and
:27:06. > :27:13.fresher with temperatures in the mid-to high teens. Going downhill on
:27:13. > :27:17.Saturday. A deep area of low pressure bringing rain, moving
:27:17. > :27:22.eastwards, turning dry by Saturday and then it is bright and breezy on
:27:22. > :27:25.Sunday. Sunny spells, maybe some showers, but on the whole a much
:27:25. > :27:31.better day and a more promising start to next week. High-pressure
