:01:22. > :01:31.negotiations are set to begin. The inside story of doing time in

:01:32. > :01:35.the country's largest prison. The UK government is yet to decide who will

:01:36. > :01:39.run its new super prison in Wrexham but it has praised the private

:01:40. > :01:42.company which runs Park prison in Bridgend.

:01:43. > :01:47.And blow away those January blues with a garden designed for a Welsh

:01:48. > :01:51.winter. Good evening. The Health Minister

:01:52. > :01:54.has given the go ahead to a plan that would see specialist care for

:01:55. > :01:58.babies born in West Wales centralised at Glangwili Hospital in

:01:59. > :02:01.Carmarthen. The decision will mean that the Special Care Baby Unit at

:02:02. > :02:06.Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest would close. A move campaigners have

:02:07. > :02:09.warned could put lives at risk. But Mark Drakeford and the Hywel Dda

:02:10. > :02:12.Health Board insist mothers and babies will get safer care. Our

:02:13. > :02:24.health correspondent, Owain Clarke, has the details.

:02:25. > :02:28.It is a question that has been debated for 12 months. What's the

:02:29. > :02:34.best way to provide care in West Wales for the endless patience of

:02:35. > :02:38.all? A year ago NHS managers gave the go-ahead to changes which

:02:39. > :02:42.included closing the special baby care unit at Haverfordwest. By

:02:43. > :02:47.developing a larger unit at Glangwili Hospital, they argued

:02:48. > :02:53.people would get better treatment. Others claimed patients temperature

:02:54. > :02:59.could be put at risk. Last year, this woman was rushed to Withybush

:03:00. > :03:05.Hospital with severe bleeding. Sadly, she lost her baby. They told

:03:06. > :03:10.me if I had gone to Glangwili Hospital I would not have survived.

:03:11. > :03:17.I was minutes from death. If that service was still not available, I

:03:18. > :03:18.would not be sitting here today. The local patients

:03:19. > :03:20.would not be sitting here today. The health board 's original plans which

:03:21. > :03:28.meant this health board 's original plans which

:03:29. > :03:33.advice from a panel of experts, Mark Drakeford

:03:34. > :03:36.advice from a panel of experts, Mark scrutiny panel has concluded that it

:03:37. > :03:41.has not been presented with any additional evidence that leads them

:03:42. > :03:50.to question their original support of a health board proposal to

:03:51. > :04:00.develop a level to kneel mental unit -- neonatal unit at Glangwili

:04:01. > :04:05.Hospital. The decision to close this unit will

:04:06. > :04:09.put lives at risk in my constituency and that lies squarely on this

:04:10. > :04:13.government's shoulders. It is counterintuitive to tell people that

:04:14. > :04:17.to travel further away service is a better service for them because all

:04:18. > :04:23.the instincts tell them something completely different. I want to put

:04:24. > :04:28.it to you that before we ventured down this, we have to be certain

:04:29. > :04:32.that the safety net is not only in place but is able to deal with the

:04:33. > :04:36.changes coming forward. The changes would mean emergency who need

:04:37. > :04:49.emergency care during their pregnancy would have to travel

:04:50. > :04:53.further. The Health Minister insisted on emergency system would

:04:54. > :05:01.be developed to transfer mothers and babies in heavy and that they would

:05:02. > :05:08.be a safety net in place. But obstetricians would stay on at

:05:09. > :05:16.Withybush Hospital. This doctor is a consultant at Withybush Hospital. A

:05:17. > :05:24.number of people would not get there in time. We will have a good way

:05:25. > :05:27.forward with developing our paediatric and neonatal services to

:05:28. > :05:35.improve the quality and safety of our services. Most mothers won't

:05:36. > :05:41.have to travel further to give birth but those who need to will get

:05:42. > :05:47.better care. But that is unlikely to silence the critics.

:05:48. > :05:51.The announcement today, Owain, is about services in West Wales. But we

:05:52. > :05:54.know changes are happening across Wales. Where we are we now in terms

:05:55. > :06:00.of reorganisation in other parts of the country? A lot of questions

:06:01. > :06:08.emerging tonight about the detail. Mark Drakeford said most mothers

:06:09. > :06:10.will be able to give birth at the local hospitals. Plaid Cymru has

:06:11. > :06:15.asked how can that be the case when it is estimated that the number of

:06:16. > :06:19.births in Withybush Hospital will drop by around three quarters? What

:06:20. > :06:24.this boils down to is a fundamental difference of opinion which I

:06:25. > :06:27.suspect now cannot be reconciled between those who believe this will

:06:28. > :06:34.lead to better care and those who don't. The Health Minister did say

:06:35. > :06:38.he will hold a review in a years time to find out whether or not this

:06:39. > :06:44.delivers better care. This was supposed to be the final chapter in

:06:45. > :06:47.a long-running saga of West Wales hospital reorganisation but if you

:06:48. > :06:52.think you've heard the last of it, think again because I understand

:06:53. > :07:07.campaigners are hoping to challenge several of these decisions in

:07:08. > :07:12.court. Soon, we will get to find out whether they get the chance. Bring

:07:13. > :07:16.us up to speed on health reorganisation in other parts of the

:07:17. > :07:19.country. A few details to be hammered out in North Wales after

:07:20. > :07:24.the first minister propose a revised plans and neonatal care there. The

:07:25. > :07:29.big and answered question is what will the plans look like the South

:07:30. > :07:33.Wales? We know they will involve centralising services like accident

:07:34. > :07:38.and emergency but the key question his way. There was supposed to be an

:07:39. > :07:43.announcement last month but it was cancelled. We're hoping to get an

:07:44. > :07:49.announcement next month. That is a sign that these decisions in South

:07:50. > :07:52.Wales could be equally controversial to those in West Wales.

:07:53. > :07:56.Operations at three hospitals in North Wales have been cancelled due

:07:57. > :07:58.to an increase in the number of patients needing emergency care.

:07:59. > :08:01.Routine planned surgeries which require patients to stay overnight

:08:02. > :08:04.at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor hospitals have been

:08:05. > :08:08.postponed because of "severe pressures" on beds. The Health Board

:08:09. > :08:17.has apologised and says urgent operations will still go ahead.

:08:18. > :08:20.Universities here say they'll lose millions of pounds of funding

:08:21. > :08:24.because of an increase in the number of university places in England. In

:08:25. > :08:28.a document seen by BBC Wales, Higher Education Wales says institutions

:08:29. > :08:31.here could be over ?7 million a year worse off, with the money going over

:08:32. > :08:47.the border. Our education correspondent, Arwyn Jones, reports.

:08:48. > :08:50.This man from Blackwood decided to go to Bristol University and he is

:08:51. > :08:54.now the president of the Welsh society and is organising the annual

:08:55. > :08:57.rugby trip to Dublin. As a third-year student he missed out on

:08:58. > :09:02.the Welsh Government paying part of his fees but thinks leaving Wales to

:09:03. > :09:08.study definitely has its advantages. You meet a different social class of

:09:09. > :09:10.people but that changes you because you have to be more open in terms of

:09:11. > :09:19.talking to people. At the same time, you have to be more open in terms of

:09:20. > :09:25.Welsh even more. Around a quarter of Welsh even more. Around a quarter of

:09:26. > :09:31.what makes it -- makes them do that? We

:09:32. > :09:37.what makes it -- makes them do that? would go. The sixth on the right say

:09:38. > :09:39.what makes it -- makes them do that? stayed to study in Wales I would not

:09:40. > :09:47.have the same quality of teaching for my subject. Those on the left

:09:48. > :09:51.are not sure where they will end up and have chosen a mixture of Welsh

:09:52. > :09:56.and Danish universities so they might be leaving but might stay. The

:09:57. > :10:02.thing I thought about most is what's best for me because you are paying a

:10:03. > :10:07.lot to go to university so I wanted the best opportunity for a future

:10:08. > :10:11.career. That leaves one who is definitely staying in Wales. I have

:10:12. > :10:17.been to Cardiff more times than I've been to any of my English choices so

:10:18. > :10:21.Cardiff is a good way of knowing my way around. Next year universities

:10:22. > :10:27.in England will recruit as many students as they wish. They will --

:10:28. > :10:34.they say that will mean an extra 60,000 students. According to this

:10:35. > :10:38.document 1500 of those students will be Welsh. Since the Welsh Government

:10:39. > :10:44.pays around ?5,000 towards each Welsh student's tuition fees it will

:10:45. > :10:49.mean over ?7 million goes with those students who study in a month. Some

:10:50. > :10:53.university bosses have said in the past they are disadvantaged because

:10:54. > :10:58.millions of pounds follows Welsh students to English universities.

:10:59. > :11:06.The man who drew up the current plan says it is still working very well.

:11:07. > :11:11.Most institutions will be ?2 million better off than they were in 2011 as

:11:12. > :11:18.a result -- as a result of the policy I announced. I think it is

:11:19. > :11:24.also true that they now need to be thinking about how they borrow more

:11:25. > :11:27.to invest in facilities they have. Those points are edgy by the Welsh

:11:28. > :11:36.Government who added it was too early to say what the effect of the

:11:37. > :11:46.changes would have. Welsh students will make the decision with the many

:11:47. > :11:49.is spent and where they study. -- where the money is spent.

:11:50. > :11:52.54 children have been taken to hospital as a precaution following a

:11:53. > :11:55.coach crash in Newport. The pupils were returning to Pentrepoeth

:11:56. > :11:58.Primary School after a swimming trip when their coach collided with a

:11:59. > :12:01.lorry at the Tredegar Park roundabout. The children have since

:12:02. > :12:03.been discharged and no-one was injured.

:12:04. > :12:06.Council tax in Ceredigion could increase by 5% from April. The local

:12:07. > :12:10.authority's cabinet voted for the rise as it aims to save nearly ?10

:12:11. > :12:13.million in the next financial year. If councillors agree to the change,

:12:14. > :12:17.the tax for a Band D property will increase by ?48 a year.

:12:18. > :12:21.The amount of money farms make has fallen by nearly a third, partly due

:12:22. > :12:24.to bad weather last spring. Official figures show the average farm

:12:25. > :12:27.business made ?28,000 last year. The minister for natural resources says

:12:28. > :12:30.he's put measures in place to support farmers and commissioned a

:12:31. > :12:34.review into the resilience of the industry.

:12:35. > :12:38.Negotiations on the future shape of industry.

:12:39. > :12:42.your council are about to begin. The First Minister says he'll hold talks

:12:43. > :12:44.with opposition party leaders to try to build support for local

:12:45. > :12:47.government re-organisation. He was answering questions from Assembly

:12:48. > :12:51.Members after a report yesterday called for a cut in the number of

:12:52. > :13:00.councils from 22 to between ten or 12. Let's have a word with our

:13:01. > :13:07.Political Editor, Nick Servini. Did we get any more of an indication

:13:08. > :13:10.today of what happens next? We have got cleared a picture. Carwyn Jones

:13:11. > :13:14.wants to get the support of opposition party leaders to try and

:13:15. > :13:19.get this through so over the next few weeks he will talk with them. If

:13:20. > :13:23.he can get support he will try and fast track the lawmaking process

:13:24. > :13:28.that he will need to do to get council reorganisation introduced

:13:29. > :13:31.and crucially he will do it over the next two years before the next

:13:32. > :13:40.assembly elections. If he cant get this up port, what the parties want

:13:41. > :13:44.to do will form their manifestoes and any developments will happen

:13:45. > :13:47.after the next assembly elections. These talks are important because if

:13:48. > :13:53.they don't succeed it could potentially push back reorganisation

:13:54. > :13:55.by years. The other element we got today was a clearer picture of where

:13:56. > :14:00.the opposition parties are because it won't be easy to him to persuade

:14:01. > :14:05.them to support him. The Conservatives are most opposed to

:14:06. > :14:09.some of these recommendations. Their leader remains to be convinced that

:14:10. > :14:24.they did cancels run better services. -- that they get councils.

:14:25. > :14:32.-- that they get councils. And it's not just the opposition he has to

:14:33. > :14:39.convince. He has to convince his own party as well. He will also have to

:14:40. > :14:46.convince council leaders that are members of the Labour Party. Take

:14:47. > :14:50.the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Williams would like to see it emerge

:14:51. > :14:59.with Cardiff. But there has been hostility to that from the Labour

:15:00. > :15:08.leader. There may be a need to carry out some changes and have some

:15:09. > :15:12.emerges but I think a wholesale slaughter of local government is not

:15:13. > :15:18.the way forward. I think we are a very good authority. We had an audit

:15:19. > :15:22.report recently which said our financial status is

:15:23. > :15:29.report recently which said our we are carrying out a good job. So

:15:30. > :15:33.an indication they are on the job we are carrying out a good job. So

:15:34. > :15:35.his hands. I think finally it will come down to how successful and

:15:36. > :15:38.persuasive come down to how successful and

:15:39. > :15:44.about the cost savings from of proposed reorganisations.

:15:45. > :15:47.Privately-run Parc Prison in Bridgend is the biggest jail in

:15:48. > :15:52.Wales and will soon be the biggest in the UK. It's been commended by

:15:53. > :15:55.inspectors at a time when the UK Government is weighing up the

:15:56. > :15:59.options for a super-prison in North Wales. Parc is run by the security

:16:00. > :16:01.firm G4S, a company who faced stiff criticism recently over government

:16:02. > :16:13.contracts. Our reporter, Daniel Davies, went behind the prison walls

:16:14. > :16:16.to meet staff and inmates. Putting down new routes. Good

:16:17. > :16:20.behaviour has been to these inmates a chance to work out doors. The

:16:21. > :16:32.prison says it wants to prepare prisoners for work. Prisoners like

:16:33. > :16:35.this 22-year-old. It is about learning new things and it gives me

:16:36. > :16:50.more opportunities when I get released. I will have more skills.

:16:51. > :16:55.This workshop has been praised to the -- Chief Inspector of prisons.

:16:56. > :17:00.But in a report today he says they weren't enough treatment programmes

:17:01. > :17:03.for sex offenders. It's a turnaround for a prison per set by problems in

:17:04. > :17:08.the past and a boost for the private firm that runs it. This month there

:17:09. > :17:17.was a major disturbance at another of its prisons in Wolverhampton. The

:17:18. > :17:31.inspector also praised the family unit as part prison. I am a father

:17:32. > :17:41.and they have got the seven-year-old girl and the hardest thing is not

:17:42. > :17:45.being able to see her. Everyone here wants the same thing. The prison

:17:46. > :17:51.director told me they have to do more than Lott people up. By working

:17:52. > :17:59.with their family, if we are able to re-establish family ties and look at

:18:00. > :18:03.providing people with qualifications, we will be doing

:18:04. > :18:09.something to contribute towards society being a safer place. If this

:18:10. > :18:14.prison is on the right track, will it have any bearing on whether the

:18:15. > :18:17.super prison in Wrexham goes to the private sector? The UK Government

:18:18. > :18:23.says it's too early to decide. I don't find it palatable to

:18:24. > :18:27.says it's too early to decide. I profit being made of keeping people

:18:28. > :18:28.says it's too early to decide. I from -- in prison. We need a smaller

:18:29. > :18:33.facility and it must in the public sector.

:18:34. > :18:35.facility and it must in the public expansion will add more than 380

:18:36. > :18:43.places making it the UK's biggest prison.

:18:44. > :18:49.places making it the UK's biggest Much more to come before 7:00pm: Who

:18:50. > :18:56.says January is bleak, grey and wet? Bodnant's winter attraction is

:18:57. > :18:58.bringing a splash of colour. Should someone suffering from a

:18:59. > :19:02.degenerative, terminal illness have the right to end their lives, how

:19:03. > :19:05.and when they want to? Last year, 44-year-old Frances Medley from

:19:06. > :19:09.Cardiff, who had multiple sclerosis, took her own life at home. She left

:19:10. > :19:20.an emotional video message explaining her actions, details of

:19:21. > :19:27.which you may find upsetting. This is a state meant to put my decision

:19:28. > :19:35.to end my life now into context. I have not taken this decision

:19:36. > :19:42.lightly. I have discussed this decision with my immediate family.

:19:43. > :19:45.At no time did they know how or when I intended to implement this

:19:46. > :19:48.decision. In September last year, Frances

:19:49. > :19:52.Medley, a former head of the Arts Council in Wales, was found dead at

:19:53. > :19:55.her home in the Vale of Glamorgan. She had taken an illegal drug which

:19:56. > :19:58.she'd bought online. An inquest found that the 44-year-old had taken

:19:59. > :20:01.her own life and had planned it meticulously. Frances Medley was

:20:02. > :20:04.diagnosed with multiple sclerosis eight years ago. She recorded this

:20:05. > :20:14.video message just days before her death. Even if the deterioration

:20:15. > :20:18.could be halted now, my body and life has fallen short of the quality

:20:19. > :20:24.I would wish to continue to live with. I don't want to inflict

:20:25. > :20:30.further pain on the people I live -- I love. The video message was played

:20:31. > :20:34.to the friends and family of Frances at her wake. They've now made it

:20:35. > :20:37.publically available by posting it on the internet. A close friend

:20:38. > :20:41.believes that since Frances couldn't ask for anyone to help her end her

:20:42. > :20:45.life, as it would have meant them breaking the law, the video message

:20:46. > :20:53.serves as a political statement of intent. She had such strong views

:20:54. > :21:04.about what shoe was doing. She felt very passionately about ending her

:21:05. > :21:09.life in her own way. She felt sad legally that it was necessary she

:21:10. > :21:12.would have to be alone to do that. Cases, like those of Frances Medley,

:21:13. > :21:15.raise some of the most profound ethical, moral and legal questions.

:21:16. > :21:18.Just last month, the families of Paul Lamb and the late Tony

:21:19. > :21:22.Nickleson took their fight to the Supreme Court. They want the law

:21:23. > :21:24.changed so they can be allowed to die with the help of a doctor. But

:21:25. > :21:24.assisting someone die with the help of a doctor. But

:21:25. > :21:32.believe that proper end of life care die with the help of a doctor. But

:21:33. > :21:38.gravest of illnesses. I find it very sad that we are having this debate

:21:39. > :21:42.about whether you change sad that we are having this debate

:21:43. > :21:51.licensed doctors to supply lethal having the debate about how do we

:21:52. > :21:58.change the attitude so that everybody gets the care they need,

:21:59. > :22:01.they feel they are in control of. Frances Medley asked not to be

:22:02. > :22:05.judged on her actions, merely to accept her decision to end her life

:22:06. > :22:08.at a time and manner of her own choosing. Her video will further

:22:09. > :22:15.ignite the ongoing debate on assisted suicide and end of life

:22:16. > :22:17.care. Rugby and as Wales' Six Nations

:22:18. > :22:21.campaign gets underway, Jamie Roberts says the recent row between

:22:22. > :22:23.the regions and the Welsh Rugby Union over money, control of the

:22:24. > :22:26.game and tournaments could strengthen the game in Wales.

:22:27. > :22:36.Despite the unrest, the national side is hoping to become the first

:22:37. > :22:42.team to win three titles in a row. As players, everything takes place

:22:51. > :22:56.control what we can control. As negative as things are at the

:22:57. > :22:59.moment, six-month stand the line Welsh rugby might become stronger

:23:00. > :23:01.because of it. Regional rugby bosses have been

:23:02. > :23:05.meeting with MPs in Westminster. They're in dispute with the Welsh

:23:06. > :23:08.Rugby Union over funding and which competitions they will play in next

:23:09. > :23:12.season. The Six Nations Council also met in London today to try and sort

:23:13. > :23:15.out who would run European club rugby next season. The meeting has

:23:16. > :23:16.broken up without a definitive solution.

:23:17. > :23:19.Swansea City have confirmed that police were called to the club's

:23:20. > :23:22.training ground following a row between defenders Chico Flores and

:23:23. > :23:25.Garry Monk last Friday. Meanwhile, Wrexham could go into the

:23:26. > :23:28.top half of the Conference tonight if they secure a win away at

:23:29. > :23:31.Southport. The home side are currently nine points behind them in

:23:32. > :23:34.the table. Now, it's been a pretty grey and

:23:35. > :23:37.miserable day. So how about something to brighten up those

:23:38. > :23:40.January blues? Most of us think gardens are best enjoyed when the

:23:41. > :23:44.sun is out and the flowers blooming. But at Bodnant in the Conwy Valley,

:23:45. > :23:46.they've planted a Winter Garden and as Roger Pinney discovered, visitors

:23:47. > :23:51.are loving it. The garden here is -- the gardeners

:23:52. > :23:54.here say it's a work in progress. It's less than two years since it

:23:55. > :23:59.was planted but already there is a mature the to this winter garden. We

:24:00. > :24:10.have different shapes and heights. Some are flowers. This is one of the

:24:11. > :24:14.gardeners. There has been a real revolution in the last 20 or 30

:24:15. > :24:19.years. People thought the window was acquired time in the garden and

:24:20. > :24:28.suddenly we have all this wonderful colour. This plant was bred here. It

:24:29. > :24:34.has got these most wonderful colour. This plant was bred here. It

:24:35. > :24:38.flowers. Bodnant is one of the best-known and best loved

:24:39. > :24:47.It draws thousands of garden -- visitors every year. Even today, in

:24:48. > :24:53.the cold, people were enjoying it. There is so much you can do with the

:24:54. > :24:59.Winter Garden and so much colour. Look around you. It is stunning. It

:25:00. > :25:03.is absolutely beautiful. It's wonderful to come on these cold days

:25:04. > :25:06.and see hope offspring. But it has taken a lot of work and planning.

:25:07. > :25:17.Nothing in this garden is left to chance. Even the site is carefully

:25:18. > :25:27.chosen. 10,000 plants, bulbs and shrubs are being put in. Elsewhere,

:25:28. > :25:37.work is underway as much of this area was planted in the

:25:38. > :25:42.19th-century. In March the public will be able to enjoy this area the

:25:43. > :25:46.first time. But now it is the winter garden which takes pride of place,

:25:47. > :25:49.bringing a little colour to a grey January day.

:25:50. > :25:54.For gardeners everywhere, a full weather forecast. Here's Derek.

:25:55. > :25:59.I'm sure many gardeners are desperate for a long, dry spell. It

:26:00. > :26:03.has been a very wet month so far. Tredegar one of the wettest places.

:26:04. > :26:06.Over nine inches of rain recorded by the middle of this month. The

:26:07. > :26:10.average for the whole of January is 176mm. There's more rain and showers

:26:11. > :26:15.to come this week with some drier, brighter spells in between. This

:26:16. > :26:18.evening oubreaks of rain. Heavy in places. Soon drying-up in

:26:19. > :26:21.Pembrokeshire though and this drier weather will reach the whole country

:26:22. > :26:27.overnight. The wind falling light with mist and fog patches forming.

:26:28. > :26:31.And chilly. Temperatures inland falling as low as 2C in rural areas

:26:32. > :26:35.with ground frost and one or two icy patches. The front bringing today's

:26:36. > :26:39.rain will trouble the eastern side of Britain tomorrow with another

:26:40. > :26:44.front over Ireland. Here's the picture for 8:00am in the morning. A

:26:45. > :26:47.dry, chilly start for most of us. Mist and fog patches as well. And

:26:48. > :26:50.not dry everywhere. Heavy showers are likely in the Southwest,

:26:51. > :26:53.Cardigan Bay, Gwynedd and Anglesey, perhaps with hail and thunder. So a

:26:54. > :26:57.mixed bag tomorrow. Scattered showers but some places will stay

:26:58. > :27:00.dry. There will be gaps in the cloud allowing the sun through at times.

:27:01. > :27:03.Temperatures around 7C to 9C with a west to north-westerly breeze. In

:27:04. > :27:07.Gwynedd tomorrow, a few showers but some dry weather as well. 7C in

:27:08. > :27:12.Rhiwlas. In Torfaen, mist and fog patches will lift. One or two

:27:13. > :27:15.showers but otherwise mostly dry. A little sunshine with a high of 8C in

:27:16. > :27:19.Cwmbran. Tomorrow night, scattered showers will clear. Dry for a while

:27:20. > :27:23.but more rain and showers will spread from the west later in the

:27:24. > :27:26.night. On Thursday, some rain and showers. The showers turning wintry

:27:27. > :27:29.on higher ground with a little snow. Drier in the afternoon with some

:27:30. > :27:32.sunshine. On Friday, it's all downhill again. More rain. Some

:27:33. > :27:42.heavy rain too. So very changeable. Saturday will

:27:43. > :27:43.heavy rain too. So very changeable. I will be back at 8pm. Thank you for

:27:44. > :27:44.heavy rain too. So very changeable. watching. From all of us on the

:27:45. > :27:47.programme, good evening.
