:00:33. > :00:38.Our other headlines tonight. 84 people in court charged in
:00:38. > :00:44.connection with an investigation into staging car crashes for cash.
:00:44. > :00:49.Our economy will be the weakest in the UK for ten years - a stark
:00:49. > :00:53.warning tonight. A step closer to tackling arthritis
:00:53. > :00:58.with a little help from technology used in Hollywood films.
:00:58. > :01:01.And making the headlines for all the wrong reasons - fans demand to know
:01:01. > :01:08.the inside story at Cardiff City Football Club.
:01:08. > :01:16.Good evening. It's the largest drift mine left in Wales. Tonight, as many
:01:16. > :01:21.as 200 jobs are under threat as the owners file for administration. The
:01:21. > :01:24.future of the Unity Mine near Neath has been uncertain in recent months
:01:24. > :01:28.after workers were told there weren't enough shifts for everyone.
:01:28. > :01:31.Now the firm says it's in discussion about what happens next - a
:01:31. > :01:43.situation that's been described by the local MP as deeply worrying. Our
:01:43. > :01:48.reporter Cemlyn Davies is there. This is a community bracing itself
:01:48. > :01:52.for more bad news. People are still reeling after hundreds of jobs were
:01:52. > :01:57.lost when a nearby mine closed earlier this year. Today's
:01:57. > :02:04.announcement will not have come as a massive shock. They have been
:02:04. > :02:08.concerns for several weeks. Questions were first raised about
:02:08. > :02:12.the future of Unity Mine in August when it emerged over half of the 220
:02:12. > :02:17.people who work year were in danger of losing their jobs. The company
:02:17. > :02:20.said a fall in the price of coal meant they had to cut back and they
:02:20. > :02:26.would only be enough work for 66 people. A deal was struck as the
:02:26. > :02:31.workers agreed to share shifts to prevent redundancies. Discussions
:02:31. > :02:34.have been ongoing between union officials and company directors will
:02:34. > :02:40.stop another meeting took place today. The company released a short
:02:41. > :02:45.statement saying the group of companies have been forced into the
:02:45. > :02:49.process of filing for administration while discussions continue about the
:02:49. > :02:53.future direction of the mine. The company says the workforce will be
:02:54. > :03:00.maintained until further notice but some workers have already left in
:03:00. > :03:06.anticipation of job losses. There is some uncertainty to say the least.
:03:06. > :03:10.Everybody is devastated. Today's news is another blow for an area
:03:11. > :03:16.that has already suffered its fair share of job losses. Production has
:03:16. > :03:23.come to an end at a nearby drift mine. This area has been devastated
:03:23. > :03:30.in recent years by job losses and these jobs are very well paid for
:03:31. > :03:35.the area. They are vital jobs will stop management are in urgent
:03:36. > :03:41.discussions. There are a number of planning and licensing problems to
:03:41. > :03:45.resolve. The local councillor knows many of the men who work at the
:03:45. > :03:51.mine. He is worried how they will cope if their jobs are taken from
:03:51. > :03:57.them. It is very difficult to find work in the valleys. Everything
:03:57. > :04:01.seems to stop on the M4 corridor. If we can't stave this mine, that will
:04:01. > :04:12.make around 700 jobs lost in the last few years. You just can't
:04:12. > :04:15.replace those. Unity Mine is Wales's largest drift mine and
:04:15. > :04:23.tonight its future and that of its workforce is in real doubt.
:04:23. > :04:26.We understand the company will be meeting with apprentices working at
:04:26. > :04:29.the mine tomorrow morning and they will be a meeting with the whole
:04:30. > :04:33.workforce on Monday. Thanks, Cemlyn. Let's have a word
:04:33. > :04:40.with our business correspondent Brian Meechan. It can't be
:04:40. > :04:47.underestimated to our past in Wales but what about the future for coal
:04:47. > :04:54.in Wales? If we look at Britain as an economic powerhouse, it was in a
:04:54. > :04:57.large part fuelled by Walsh call. In the 1920s, around a quarter of a
:04:57. > :05:02.million people were employed in call and it was about the communities
:05:02. > :05:08.that grew up around that. In the 1970s and 1980s, we saw pit closures
:05:08. > :05:12.but even then we saw collieries which emerged from the strike in
:05:12. > :05:22.1984. But even those closed their doors. So where are we now? Coal
:05:22. > :05:26.prices have been falling of late and it is very expensive to get out of
:05:26. > :05:31.the ground. In comparison to the global market where we can get
:05:32. > :05:36.energy, there is cheaper and more efficient and more environmentally
:05:36. > :05:40.friendly ways. People find it more difficult to make the case for coal.
:05:40. > :05:45.We note that these 200 workers are employed here. They will remain
:05:45. > :05:49.employed while the administrators do their business and see what can come
:05:49. > :05:55.up of this business, potentially. But from an industry that once
:05:55. > :06:00.employed 250,000 men, there are now a little over 1000 working in coal
:06:00. > :06:03.mining in Wales. 84 people have appeared in court in
:06:03. > :06:08.Cwmbran as part of a so-called crash for cash investigation. It's alleged
:06:08. > :06:12.car crashes were staged deliberately to defraud insurance companies. The
:06:12. > :06:19.hearing is one of the largest seen in Wales. Our reporter Jordan Davies
:06:19. > :06:22.was in court. The first defendant to arrive for
:06:22. > :06:27.one of the largest court hearings ever held in Wales. One of 86 people
:06:27. > :06:33.charged in connection with one of the largest motor insurers scams in
:06:33. > :06:37.Britain. This reconstruction shows the kind of thing they have
:06:37. > :06:41.allegedly taken part in. Crash for cash, with people deliberately cause
:06:41. > :06:47.collisions to claim money from insurers companies. Across the UK,
:06:47. > :06:51.this type of crime is said to be worth nearly £400 million annually,
:06:52. > :06:59.with one in seven personal injury claims linked to suspected scams.
:06:59. > :07:03.The defendants appeared in groups of four and five, some dressed casually
:07:03. > :07:08.in shorts and T-shirt, in shirt and tie. All had the charges put to them
:07:08. > :07:13.before speaking to confirm their name and address will stop Gwent
:07:13. > :07:18.Police save the defendants allegedly operated from a garage on this
:07:18. > :07:24.industrial estate. Officers say they have been investigating the case for
:07:24. > :07:34.over two years. Only 82 defendants appeared in court today, some
:07:34. > :07:40.related. Cwmbran Magistrates' Court opened especially for this hearing.
:07:40. > :07:44.All 86 people are now due to appear at Newport Crown Court at the
:07:44. > :07:47.beginning of next month. Gas and electricity prices for
:07:47. > :07:51.thousands of customers in Wales are set to rise next month. The energy
:07:51. > :07:56.company SSE said the average increase for Swalec customers in the
:07:56. > :08:00.south will go up by 9%. Manweb customers in north Wales will see an
:08:00. > :08:21.8.7% increase. The company has blamed a jump in wholesale costs.
:08:21. > :08:23.Hundreds of jobs will be cut at Carmarthenshire Council because of
:08:23. > :08:28.the Welsh Government's draft budget. That's the warning from its leader,
:08:28. > :08:31.Kevin Madge. Savings of £30 million have to be made and offers of
:08:31. > :08:35.redundancy or early retirement have been offered to staff. The Welsh
:08:35. > :08:38.Government said it had cushioned the impact of UK Government cuts in the
:08:38. > :08:41.past three years. Detectives investigating historical
:08:41. > :08:44.sex abuse at children's homes in north Wales have arrested an
:08:44. > :08:47.eleventh person. The man, who's 52 and from Mold, has been arrested as
:08:47. > :08:50.part of Operation Pallial on suspicion of child cruelty and
:08:50. > :08:53.indecent assault against four boys and one girl in the 1980s.
:08:53. > :08:56.While the UK might be seeing something of an upturn, the future
:08:56. > :08:59.for Wales is looking gloomy when it comes to jobs and prosperity. That's
:08:59. > :09:01.the warning tonight from an influential research company. Our
:09:01. > :09:03.economics correspondent Sarah Dickins has more.
:09:03. > :09:07.It is hoped these teenagers in Merthyr Tydfil will be part of the
:09:07. > :09:15.solution to an economic weakness that has played all of Wales for
:09:15. > :09:18.decades. The message from this report is that the economy is
:09:18. > :09:24.recovering and will continue to do so, but that the UK is an
:09:24. > :09:28.increasingly divided nation. The bad news for Wales, according to the
:09:29. > :09:33.report, is that we are forecast to be the least well off writing to
:09:33. > :09:38.2020. It is our communities that will suffer in terms of employment
:09:38. > :09:44.and what we produce. This new college hopes to challenge that. The
:09:44. > :09:50.balloons are wrapped, launching the college Merthyr Tydfil will stop
:09:50. > :09:59.alongside A-levels, students can take courses directly relating to
:09:59. > :10:07.skilled jobs. Employment levels are expected to fall this year and grow
:10:07. > :10:10.in 2014. These teenagers are taking courses are unlikely to exist in
:10:11. > :10:15.school sixth forms. I can do at electronics here which I could not
:10:15. > :10:20.do at my old school. I want to join the Computerworld when I am told
:10:20. > :10:26.that so it will give me an insight into how computers operate. We are
:10:26. > :10:33.doing things that you would do in university. It is furthering our
:10:33. > :10:39.skills. We certainly have some vibrant employers. There are two
:10:39. > :10:44.things you can do if you want to improve your economy. Depress your
:10:44. > :10:49.wage rates but we do not want to do that, or we say, at the countries
:10:49. > :10:54.have improved their skills, we are doing that in Wales. Also providing
:10:54. > :11:10.learners with first-class facilities. Some Welsh employers are
:11:10. > :11:15.already gaining. Our own general orders have picked up considerably.
:11:15. > :11:19.We have got to keep knocking doors from the south-east of the country,
:11:19. > :11:23.London in particular, we get a tremendous amount of orders. We find
:11:23. > :11:30.it quite difficult to fulfil all the orders. It is a chicken and egg
:11:30. > :11:34.situation. If you don't have the skills, you can't attract the
:11:34. > :11:40.industry, but if you don't have the industry, you tend not to train
:11:40. > :11:45.people for it. It is the wealthier areas of the UK that are expected to
:11:45. > :11:47.see the greatest growth in fortune. The challenge is for Wales to catch
:11:47. > :11:59.up. Richard Holt wrote the report. He's
:11:59. > :12:06.in Westminster. What are the solutions? It comes down to skills
:12:06. > :12:11.and education and one of the people said, at the same time as providing
:12:11. > :12:16.better skills, we also need to be bringing jobs to the people. That is
:12:16. > :12:21.both in manufacturing, I think Welsh manufacturing is going to grow
:12:21. > :12:27.faster than UK manufacturing, but also in service industries
:12:27. > :12:34.generally. Why is Wales behind other areas of the UK? In a sense it is
:12:34. > :12:37.because it is the easy option for companies to invest in the
:12:37. > :12:42.south-east of England, places that are already prosperous. Wales does
:12:42. > :12:48.badly in the same way that Northern Ireland and the north-east of
:12:48. > :12:54.England do badly. How is the Welsh economy fare income paid to the UK
:12:54. > :12:59.economy as a whole? It probably did a little bit better last year. The
:12:59. > :13:02.problem is that the rest of the economy is accelerating rather
:13:02. > :13:06.faster than the Welsh economy. Places like the south-east of
:13:06. > :13:12.England, around Cambridge and London itself, will continue to pull ahead.
:13:12. > :13:17.But the picture for Wales is pretty gloomy in your report. It is not
:13:17. > :13:24.completely gloomy. It says the Welsh economy will grow around 2.5% every
:13:24. > :13:31.year, which is pretty good by historic standards. And if we could
:13:31. > :13:35.do one thing to improve our economy, what would it be? The answer is that
:13:35. > :13:39.you always need to do two or three what would it be? The answer is that
:13:39. > :13:45.things together. You need to invest in skills, ring new companies in,
:13:45. > :13:49.strengthen the companies you already have, improve infrastructure. There
:13:49. > :13:52.is never one thing. Much more to come before seven
:13:52. > :13:55.o'clock. Aaron Ramsey is passed fit for
:13:55. > :13:58.tomorrow's World Cup qualifier and will captain Wales in Ashley
:13:59. > :14:02.Williams' absence. And an Edwardian education - a
:14:02. > :14:11.teacher's journal lifts the lid on school life a century ago.
:14:11. > :14:14.It's the technology usually associated with Hollywood
:14:14. > :14:17.blockbusters, but a team of researchers from Cardiff University
:14:17. > :14:22.is using virtual reality to help them understand arthritis. Their new
:14:22. > :14:25.rehabilitation suite is the first of its kind in the UK. Steffan
:14:25. > :14:41.Messenger reports. It is not your average laboratory.
:14:41. > :14:46.At Cardiff University's new virtual reality suite, they are turning
:14:46. > :14:51.cinematography interscience. Using special sensors and cameras, they
:14:51. > :14:57.can monitor the way patients's joints are working and see where
:14:57. > :15:01.things could be going on. They are focusing on knee injuries, improving
:15:01. > :15:06.the way they move to postpone further damage. It is an excellent
:15:06. > :15:11.tool and has helped to move our research forward fast. Having this
:15:11. > :15:16.tool helps us make the next step and bring it more to clinical practice.
:15:16. > :15:22.Similar equipment has been used by movie directors for years. The hope
:15:22. > :15:28.is that this pioneering piece of cake, the first of its kind to be
:15:28. > :15:32.installed in the UK, will help develop new ways of easing the pain
:15:32. > :15:38.and disability caused by arthritis. That is welcome news for Liz Evans
:15:38. > :15:45.from Newport to badly damaged her knee in a skiing accident. I was
:15:45. > :15:50.made very aware by the rehab team that I was going to be burnable to
:15:50. > :15:56.getting osteoarthritis in years to come. I don't want that to hit me. I
:15:56. > :16:01.want to do anything I can to get the researchers to find out more about
:16:01. > :16:09.the causes and ways of postponing the onset of arthritis.
:16:09. > :16:16.One in six in the UK suffer with arthritis and that affects the young
:16:16. > :16:23.as well as the old. By putting in funds to work like this, we will
:16:23. > :16:27.become nearer to finding a cure. Motion capture technology used in
:16:27. > :16:30.films and TV dramas may have inspired the development of this
:16:30. > :16:35.equipment but Liz and others like will hope it can lead to real life
:16:35. > :16:38.results. Candidates have been deterred from
:16:38. > :16:41.applying for the vacant Chief Constable job at Gwent Police
:16:41. > :16:46.because of the actions of its Police and Crime Commissioner, according to
:16:46. > :16:49.a senior MP. Carmel Napier left the force in June after an order from
:16:49. > :16:57.Commissioner Ian Johnston to retire or be removed. The Caerphilly MP
:16:57. > :17:00.Wayne David said, while he fully supports the choice of Jeff Farrar
:17:00. > :17:05.for the job, he's disappointed only one person applied. Mr Johnston said
:17:05. > :17:08.it would be inappropriate to comment until the appointment has been
:17:08. > :17:19.considered by the Gwent Police and Crime Panel.
:17:19. > :17:26.The PCC have had enormous power to hire and fire at will. What worries
:17:26. > :17:30.me particularly is that one of the main reasons there is one applicant
:17:30. > :17:35.for the job in Gwent Police was because of what has happened in the
:17:35. > :17:40.recent past. I think many senior police officers around the country
:17:40. > :17:45.saw what happened with Carmel Napier and thought, we are not going to end
:17:45. > :17:51.up in that situation, we are not prepared to do that.
:17:51. > :17:55.Cardiff Airport has announced the return of flights to ski
:17:55. > :17:57.destinations. The airline Flybe will operate direct services to four
:17:57. > :18:00.airports in France and Switzerland from December.
:18:01. > :18:04.The leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, will be hoping to build on the
:18:04. > :18:06.party's recent by-election victory on Anglesey when she addresses the
:18:06. > :18:09.annual conference tomorrow. Our political editor Nick Servini is in
:18:09. > :18:17.Aberystwyth, where the conference is being held.
:18:17. > :18:20.Parties always say they are in good spirits when they gather for their
:18:20. > :18:25.annual conference and it certainly will be the case in Aberystwyth over
:18:25. > :18:29.the next two days after a conference if by-election victory on Anglesey
:18:29. > :18:35.in the summer. The question is, was that a solid victory in eight Plaid
:18:35. > :18:39.Cymru heartland or is there something more substantial going on?
:18:39. > :18:45.What Leanne Wood needs to which you tomorrow is to get eight sense of
:18:45. > :18:51.momentum building within the party. There is an interesting dynamic this
:18:51. > :18:54.week because this is the last of the annual Plaid Cymru conferences
:18:55. > :19:00.before the Scottish independence referendum next September. This
:19:00. > :19:05.question is whether the party can take advantage of that in anyway,
:19:06. > :19:10.shape or form. Can it become a party which people vote for not
:19:10. > :19:14.necessarily because they believe in independence but because they
:19:14. > :19:19.believe the SNP is a credible alternative government? That is
:19:19. > :19:22.clearly what it has got to try and cash in on.
:19:22. > :19:25.Cardiff City supporters are demanding answers from the club as
:19:25. > :19:29.fears grow over the future of manager Malky Mackay. Some fans are
:19:29. > :19:33.meeting tonight to discuss whether to hold a protest over how the club
:19:33. > :19:38.has handled the suspension of former head of recruitment Iain Moody.
:19:38. > :19:42.Yesterday it emerged owner Vincent Tan had replaced him with an unknown
:19:42. > :19:53.23-year-old who was formerly on work experience. Here's our sports
:19:53. > :19:56.reporter Ashleigh Crowter. The fans of Cardiff city are
:19:56. > :20:00.wondering why nothing ever seems to be straightforward at their club.
:20:00. > :20:03.Their impressive start in the Premier League is now being
:20:03. > :20:07.overshadowed why the decision to remove Malky Mackay's right-hand
:20:07. > :20:11.man, head of recruitment year and moody, and replace him with a
:20:11. > :20:17.23-year-old with experienced student. The newspapers dissected
:20:17. > :20:19.the whole affair in great detail. They filled their pages with
:20:19. > :20:25.speculation about whether Malky Mackay had been fatally undermined.
:20:25. > :20:31.The sun even dedicated its front page to it. Many fans were already
:20:31. > :20:37.ensure about Vincent Tan's motives. This supporters group who marched
:20:37. > :20:40.against his decision to change the kit from blue to read are meeting
:20:40. > :20:48.again tonight to plan another protest. It is a fertile subject for
:20:48. > :20:51.this blogger, then James. He thinks the Iain Moody affair has damaged
:20:51. > :20:57.the reputation of Vincent Tan in even the most pragmatic supporters
:20:57. > :21:03.will stop I think it has galvanised the fans. Even those who accepted
:21:03. > :21:07.the red cape were happy the football was being left alone but now they
:21:07. > :21:16.feel Vincent Tan is meddling with the football side of things. The
:21:16. > :21:19.fans are not happy. The Supporters' Trust have also asked for public
:21:19. > :21:24.clarification but the club has not made any official comment. Chief
:21:24. > :21:29.Executive Simon Lim is understood to be in Malaysia. The club are
:21:29. > :21:32.preparing to host tomorrow's World Cup qualifier between Wales and
:21:32. > :21:37.Macedonia and there was sympathy today from one under pressure
:21:37. > :21:43.manager to another. Malky Mackay, look at his record, a cup final,
:21:43. > :21:47.play-off semifinals, and league winners, and they are doing well in
:21:47. > :21:54.the league, so if Malky Mackay is in trouble, I feel sorry for the rest
:21:54. > :21:56.of us. Aaron Ramsey will captain a depleted Wales team tomorrow night
:21:56. > :22:02.even though he has not trained this week. Chris Coleman's injury
:22:02. > :22:07.problems seem to be getting worse will stop he has 15 absentees.
:22:07. > :22:11.A teacher's journal dating back to 1907 has revealed just what it was
:22:11. > :22:15.like to be at school in Edwardian Wales. The writings, discovered by
:22:15. > :22:19.chance in a cupboard, describe a time when girls were expected to do
:22:19. > :22:27.laundry lessons and PE involved a military style drill. Carwyn Jones

:22:41. > :22:45.young teacher at the school. Her name was Jenny Edwards and we know
:22:45. > :22:49.practically nothing about her but what we do know thanks to her
:22:49. > :22:55.writings is that Edward in education in South Wales was a very strict
:22:55. > :22:59.affair. They would only answer when the teacher asked them. There was no
:22:59. > :23:03.opportunity for them to turn to their partner to share ideas. Any
:23:03. > :23:09.interruption to the lesson was severely dealt with. Talking across
:23:09. > :23:15.the teacher, for example, led to two strokes on the hand with a cane. She
:23:15. > :23:18.also wrote about a PE lesson at the school which sounds more like an
:23:18. > :23:25.army drill. Teachers gave arm, trunk and foot
:23:25. > :23:29.exercises. Children marched in single file and double file along
:23:29. > :23:33.the hall. Boys and girls were taught
:23:33. > :23:37.incompletely separate wings of the school and that was reflected in the
:23:37. > :23:40.lesson plans too. In the afternoons, boys were given serious academic
:23:40. > :23:47.subjects to study while the girls were given cookery, needlecraft and
:23:47. > :23:51.laundry lessons. Times have changed but the pupils at the school today
:23:51. > :23:57.seem to be relieved they are not learning under such script
:23:57. > :24:02.supervision. Going to the headmaster would be very bad. You would have to
:24:02. > :24:09.hold your right hand out. Slap, slap, slap. These unassuming
:24:09. > :24:16.journals do lift the lid on school life in the 1900 or stop they will
:24:16. > :24:21.now be transferred to an archive so that future generations can learn
:24:21. > :24:22.what education was really like. Derek's diary and his weather
:24:22. > :24:32.forecast now. Lots of blue sky in the south today,
:24:32. > :24:37.but chilly. A north wind has brought a drop in temperature. Only 13
:24:37. > :24:42.Celsius in Usk, compared to 20 on Tuesday. In the wind it felt more
:24:42. > :24:48.like minus eight on the summit of Snowdon. More dry and cool weather
:24:48. > :24:53.to come tomorrow. Also a few spots of light rain and a cool wind.
:24:53. > :24:57.Tonight will be dry. Clear this evening but, after midnight, cloud
:24:57. > :25:00.will spread from the northeast. Enough breeze to stop the
:25:00. > :25:04.temperature from falling too low, but I wouldn't rule out a ground
:25:04. > :25:07.frost in some of the valleys in the Cambrian Mountains. Tomorrow's chart
:25:07. > :25:13.shows high pressure to the north of Scotland. Low pressure over France
:25:13. > :25:21.and that means winds for Britain. Here's the picture for 8am in the
:25:21. > :25:25.morning. Much of the country dry. Bright in places but some cloud
:25:25. > :25:28.around as well, along with a cool breeze. Much brighter in the west.
:25:28. > :25:32.Sunshine in Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest. During the day a
:25:32. > :25:37.band of thicker cloud will spread from the northeast with a few spots
:25:37. > :25:42.of light rain in the afternoon. The odd light shower but otherwise dry.
:25:42. > :25:46.The best of the sunshine in the southwest. Temperatures higher than
:25:47. > :25:50.today. 11 to 15 Celsius with a breeze making it feel cool. In
:25:50. > :25:55.Pembrokeshire tomorrow, dry with a good deal of sunshine. Windy on the
:25:55. > :26:00.Preselis with a high of 14 Celsius in Narberth. In Monmouthshire
:26:00. > :26:04.tomorrow, more cloud than sunshine. The odd light shower but most of the
:26:04. > :26:07.day dry. 14 Celsius in Chepstow with a breeze. Tomorrow night will be
:26:07. > :26:10.dry. Plenty of cloud. Clearer in the west but temperatures not falling
:26:10. > :26:14.too low. Saturday will be cloudy, cool and breezy. Spots of light rain
:26:14. > :26:19.and drizzle in the north and east and Powys. Elsewhere, dry. Bright in
:26:19. > :26:23.parts of the south and west with a little sunshine. On Sunday, the wind
:26:23. > :26:29.lighter, but there is a risk of some rain, at least for a time. Our
:26:29. > :26:33.picture tonight is from Annie Riggs. Plumstone Rock in the Preselis.
:26:33. > :26:37.Thanks, Annie. More sunshine in Pembrokeshire tomorrow.
:26:37. > :26:44.The main news from the BBC. Millions of households face high
:26:44. > :26:51.fuel costs - the energy company SSE, which owns Swalec in Wales, pushes
:26:51. > :26:55.up its prices by more than 8%. With winter on the way, other energy
:26:55. > :27:03.companies are likely to raise their prices, leaving some customers
:27:03. > :27:07.struggling. More than 200 jobs are under threat
:27:07. > :27:12.at Wales's largest drift mine as the owners file for administration. The
:27:12. > :27:15.future of the Unity Mine has been uncertain after workers were told
:27:15. > :27:20.they were not enough shifts for everyone.
:27:20. > :27:27.I am deeply worried because this is a vital mine. 250 jobs, potentially
:27:27. > :27:29.more in the future. There are urgent discussions taking place and I am
:27:29. > :27:33.assisting every way I can. We'll have an update for you here at
:27:34. > :27:37.8.00pm and I'll be back after the BBC News at 10.00pm. That's Wales
:27:37. > :27:39.Today. Thank you for watching. Good evening.
