:00:00. > :00:00.shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the

:00:00. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story tonight: Andrew Woodhouse was

:00:10. > :00:12.found not guilty of attacking two men stealing diesel from his yard.

:00:13. > :00:22.Calls for the Crown Prosecution Service to review its procedures. I

:00:23. > :00:26.think this verdict and this case will serve as a reminder to the

:00:27. > :00:29.Crown Prosecution Service and those who prosecute others as from now one

:00:30. > :00:33.they have to look carefully at whether it is in the public interest

:00:34. > :00:48.to bring people like Mr Woodhouse before the court.

:00:49. > :00:51.Also tonight: Rock singer Ian Watkins, jailed for a series of

:00:52. > :00:56.child sex offences, is seeking to appeal against his sentence.

:00:57. > :00:59.Broadcasting big football matches is big business. Now the Premier League

:01:00. > :01:04.plans to prosecute pubs here suspected of showing games

:01:05. > :01:07.illegally. Calls for foreign languages to be

:01:08. > :01:20.taught at primary schools to stop the decline in young people studying

:01:21. > :01:23.them. You learn another language. If you go on holiday, you can actually

:01:24. > :01:28.people and talk to them. Leigh Halfpenny becomes the latest

:01:29. > :01:31.Welsh rugby star to move to France. And we're with the Welsh Cavalry as

:01:32. > :01:41.they prepare for a final tour of Afghanistan.

:01:42. > :01:44.Good evening. There's a call for the Crown Prosecution Service to review

:01:45. > :01:47.its procedures after a father of five was found not guilty of

:01:48. > :01:52.attacking two men who were stealing from his business. Andrew Woodhouse

:01:53. > :01:56.was arrested after he confronted two men who were stealing diesel from

:01:57. > :02:01.his yard near Abergavenny. One of the men suffered two broken legs and

:02:02. > :02:05.a broken arm. Tonight his MP says the case should never have gone to

:02:06. > :02:08.court. Jenny Rees reports. Ten months ago Andrew Woodhouse

:02:09. > :02:13.received a text alert, his groundwork business a mile away had

:02:14. > :02:16.been broken into. And not for the first time. He'd previously had

:02:17. > :02:26.around ?20,000 of goods taken, nearly costing him his livelihood.

:02:27. > :02:30.What makes this burglary different is Andrew confronted the eaves of 20

:02:31. > :02:32.attack him with a fence post he fought back.

:02:33. > :02:36.Kevin Green received a broken arm and leg and fell breaking his other

:02:37. > :02:42.leg. Andrew rugby tackled Timothy Cross and held him down until the

:02:43. > :02:45.police arrived. The businessman was then arrested and charged with

:02:46. > :02:52.grievous bodily harm with intent. Yesterday a jury took 20 minutes to

:02:53. > :02:56.find him not guilty. They look back over these last ten lengths thinking

:02:57. > :03:02.they would have done things differently, but I couldn't. Unless

:03:03. > :03:07.they would have got away and not be seen again. They would've come back

:03:08. > :03:14.next week and then it all again. It would have been another financial

:03:15. > :03:21.loss. Yes, I don't think we could take it. There are now cause for

:03:22. > :03:24.great review. It is called for the CPS to revisit their policy and

:03:25. > :03:28.revisit perhaps in circumstances where people act in self defence,

:03:29. > :03:33.where people act in defence of their own property, whether or not the law

:03:34. > :03:37.needs to be changed but whether or not the guidelines for the Crown

:03:38. > :03:40.Prosecution Service -- Crown Prosecution Service the to be

:03:41. > :03:47.toughened so people that fewer people are prosecuted. The law is

:03:48. > :03:53.supposed to be written so people can protect their businesses. This case

:03:54. > :03:58.went to cause that court. That needs to be looked at again. I would like

:03:59. > :04:01.it to be playing if you go into somebody's property to rob or steal

:04:02. > :04:06.from them and some misfortune is -- before zoo, tough. People should

:04:07. > :04:12.have the right to defend themselves and businesses. The Crown

:04:13. > :04:14.Prosecution Service said it was the prosecution's case that "Mr

:04:15. > :04:17.Woodhouse's actions during the incident went beyond what the law

:04:18. > :04:20.allows for in terms of self-defence". But that they

:04:21. > :04:23."respect the jury's decision on this matter". The not guilty verdict

:04:24. > :04:26.means Andrew Woodhouse has avoided a jail sentence. The two burglars were

:04:27. > :04:30.each charged with theft and given ?75 fines.

:04:31. > :04:34.Earlier I spoke to the legal commentator, Joshua Rozenberg. I

:04:35. > :04:43.began by asking him what the law says about cases like this.

:04:44. > :04:46.The law says you can use reasonable force to defend yourself, your

:04:47. > :04:50.family and your property. Reasonable force could be great force indeed.

:04:51. > :04:57.You could use lethal force if necessary. You don't have to wait

:04:58. > :05:00.for people to attack them. It has to be reasonable in the circumstances.

:05:01. > :05:05.The prosecution argued if somebody is dealing jerry cans of diesel

:05:06. > :05:11.fuel, it is not reasonable to breaks and dislikes. Powell and usual is it

:05:12. > :05:19.for cases like this to get to court? It is unusual for people to

:05:20. > :05:23.be cleared in cases like this. Often the prosecution will look at it and

:05:24. > :05:29.say maybe he went a bit over the top but it was not so unreasonable we

:05:30. > :05:32.will bring a prosecution. Here the prosecutors thought the force was

:05:33. > :05:38.excessive and the judge must have agreed because the judge did not

:05:39. > :05:43.throw the case out. This man was acquitted within 20 minutes. It

:05:44. > :05:47.doesn't really sound a bit of a lesson to prosecutors that the

:05:48. > :05:51.public has every sympathy for business people and homeowners who

:05:52. > :05:56.defend their property against people who are trying to steal their

:05:57. > :05:59.property. Julie is not going to worry too much about whether

:06:00. > :06:04.somebody gets badly hurt when somebody is defending their

:06:05. > :06:11.property. Mr Woodhouse's defence lawyer has asked the CPS to review

:06:12. > :06:14.procedures. How likely do you think that is to happen? I think they will

:06:15. > :06:18.bear this case in mind when another case comes up of somebody who has

:06:19. > :06:25.used apparently excessive force and they realise how sympathetic Julie

:06:26. > :06:28.'s art. They will take the view that they did the right thing if they had

:06:29. > :06:32.gone wrong if they shouldn't have brought a prosecution, the judge

:06:33. > :06:35.should not have let it go to the jury.

:06:36. > :06:38.Ian Watkins, the former singer with the rock band Lostprophets, is

:06:39. > :06:41.seeking leave to appeal against the length of his 35 year sentence for a

:06:42. > :06:45.series of child sex offences, including the attempted rape of a

:06:46. > :06:51.baby. The 36-year-old from Pontypridd was jailed last month.

:06:52. > :06:56.Sachin Krishnan joins me now. What more do we know about this?

:06:57. > :06:59.It was last month that Ian Watkins was sentenced after pleading guilty

:07:00. > :07:02.to a number of child sex offences including the attempted rape of a

:07:03. > :07:06.baby and three counts of sexual assault, At the time of sentencing,

:07:07. > :07:09.the former singer was said to have a corrupting influence and shown a

:07:10. > :07:12.complete lack of remorse for his crimes. Watkins, who's from

:07:13. > :07:15.Pontypridd, was sentenced along with two other women, who are the mothers

:07:16. > :07:19.of children he abused. He was sentenced to 29 years in prison with

:07:20. > :07:22.another six years spent on licence. Today the Court of Appeal confirmed

:07:23. > :07:26.that an application has been lodged to appeal against the length of that

:07:27. > :07:29.punishment. That was done two days ago. South Wales Police are

:07:30. > :07:32.continuing to investigate whether Watkins also committed offences in

:07:33. > :07:34.Germany and America and the Independent Police Complaints

:07:35. > :07:43.Commission is also looking at the conduct of three police forces over

:07:44. > :07:46.this case. Thank you.

:07:47. > :07:49.An inquest has been opened and adjourned following the death of a

:07:50. > :07:52.man at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend last week. An

:07:53. > :07:54.internal investigation is underway after 58-year-old Michael Bowen,

:07:55. > :08:03.from Ogmore Vale, spent four hours in an ambulance outside hospital. He

:08:04. > :08:07.died two hours after being admitted. Five new cases of measles have been

:08:08. > :08:12.reported in south west Wales in the last 11 days. Public Health Wales is

:08:13. > :08:19.urging anyone who hasn't had the MMR vaccine to do so.

:08:20. > :08:22.The Premier League has told BBC Wales it's planning to prosecute

:08:23. > :08:24.pubs in Cardiff and Swansea that it suspects are showing its matches

:08:25. > :08:28.illegally using foreign satellite channels. In the last four months

:08:29. > :08:33.its private investigation firm has visited nearly 200 pubs in South

:08:34. > :08:38.Wales. The League is planning to bring up to 100 prosecutions across

:08:39. > :08:47.Wales and England this season. Paul Martin has this exclusive report.

:08:48. > :08:51.Televised Premier league football is a multi-million pound industry. The

:08:52. > :08:57.league has official deals with sky and BT in the UK and lots of other

:08:58. > :09:03.broadcasters overseas. The subscriptions that pubs pay for sky

:09:04. > :09:07.and BT aren't cheap and with two Welsh clubs in the Premier league

:09:08. > :09:12.loss of purpose in Cardiff and Swansea a using cheaper, foreign

:09:13. > :09:16.providers. It is good for business. It is a good thing that places like

:09:17. > :09:23.this can show the matches so people can come is that of sitting in the

:09:24. > :09:28.house. I came here for every Primary League game. It is amazing. I can't

:09:29. > :09:34.describe it. This is like our second home. It is a Saturday afternoon at

:09:35. > :09:39.this bar in Cardiff. The place is full of Cardiff city fans watching

:09:40. > :09:47.the game on the big screen. BT Sport and sky can't show 3pm kick-offs

:09:48. > :09:50.that foreign broadcasters can. The Primary League says any pub or club

:09:51. > :09:56.that uses a foreign subscription to show the games is raking copyright

:09:57. > :10:02.laws and wants them to stop. Back in 2011, landlady in Portsmouth when a

:10:03. > :10:06.court battle against the Primary League. All her case proved what

:10:07. > :10:10.that people are able to buy and watch and EU subscription in their

:10:11. > :10:17.own home. The law is different for pubs and clubs. The Primary League

:10:18. > :10:31.owns the copyright in its logo in its an firm and in any other bit. If

:10:32. > :10:38.you play those in a pub without the Primary League consent, that is

:10:39. > :10:41.infringement. Some posts use technology that tries to block out

:10:42. > :10:44.the logos of the league says it is not come across any mass gain

:10:45. > :10:51.technology that will stop as prosecuting. It says South Wales is

:10:52. > :10:58.an area it is focusing on. We want to help pubs, we want to help

:10:59. > :11:01.educate licensees. We find evidence of the use of foreign satellite

:11:02. > :11:04.systems and we will give them the opportunity to get rid of that

:11:05. > :11:09.system. But if they choose not to be phased the real prospect of

:11:10. > :11:15.prosecution. BBC Wales understands the Premier League's first

:11:16. > :11:23.prosecution will be against this hotel in Swansea. Pubs who pay to

:11:24. > :11:28.have read the sport and sky -- to have BT Sport and sky will be

:11:29. > :11:34.pleased with the rules crackdown but it will be some fans disappointed.

:11:35. > :11:37.Plans are in place to deal with high tides predicted for the start of

:11:38. > :11:41.next month to protect people and properties. That's according to the

:11:42. > :11:43.Natural Resources Minister. Alun Davies was giving evidence to the

:11:44. > :11:46.Assembly's environment committee, following the poor weather over

:11:47. > :11:49.Christmas and the New Year. Nearly 400 extra civil servants have

:11:50. > :11:54.been hired by the Welsh Government in the last two years while the

:11:55. > :11:57.number employed across the UK fell. The Government say the recruitment

:11:58. > :12:00.followed a period when 1,100 jobs were cut and is the result of more

:12:01. > :12:05.powers being transferred to Cardiff Bay.

:12:06. > :12:09.Wales rugby star Leigh Halfpenny is the latest Welsh rugby star to move

:12:10. > :12:14.to France. He'll leave the Cardiff Blues at the end of the season after

:12:15. > :12:16.signing to Toulon. Our sports news correspondent Gareth Lewis is

:12:17. > :12:25.outside the Millennium Stadium for us tonight.

:12:26. > :12:28.This is the only place next season that Welsh rugby fans will be

:12:29. > :12:34.guaranteed to see Leigh Halfpenny play in Wales. His future at club

:12:35. > :12:36.level lies elsewhere after signing a two-year deal with a further

:12:37. > :12:41.one-year option with European champions. It is a side Cardiff

:12:42. > :12:46.Blues fans need to make the most of after nearly five years Leigh

:12:47. > :12:51.Halfpenny is leaving the Welsh capital to play for too long. The

:12:52. > :12:55.BBC were sports personality of the year is a man in demand. He was

:12:56. > :13:00.considering a contract offer from the Blues themselves and a central

:13:01. > :13:03.contract from the WRU. But the huge many on offer in France and the

:13:04. > :13:07.ongoing row between regions and union over finances and the

:13:08. > :13:11.tournaments the regions play in, appear to have helped to make up his

:13:12. > :13:22.mind. He made the decision because he had a concrete offer. Having

:13:23. > :13:28.spoken to him myself we know that was part of the decision making

:13:29. > :13:32.process. His grandfather watched the news of the television and says his

:13:33. > :13:37.grandson has thought long and hard over his decision. Malcolm told him

:13:38. > :13:44.how to kick and is sad to see him leave Wales. A bit sad for myself

:13:45. > :13:49.because of my age. But really happy for him. I honestly think he has

:13:50. > :13:53.made the right decision. The way Welsh Rugby Union is at the moment,

:13:54. > :14:00.his future would be uncertain. The way the game is so hard and the

:14:01. > :14:05.likelihood of injury, I think he has got to take a chance. He will become

:14:06. > :14:09.the 11th member of Wales 's original 32 man squad for this season six

:14:10. > :14:20.nations who will play of Wales next season. Wales captain and Halfpenny

:14:21. > :14:27.Coldplay, somewhat button, is understood to staying in Wales. --

:14:28. > :14:31.Sam Warburton. That said, I think that our people in the regions who

:14:32. > :14:37.have grave reservations about the principles of central contracts. The

:14:38. > :14:40.regions are set on this alternative European cup next season that they

:14:41. > :14:46.say would be worth ?1 million extra each to them next season. If they

:14:47. > :14:50.can sort out Europe, the unions, the regions may be the problems of Welsh

:14:51. > :14:58.rugby will fall into place. Still to come in the programme: with

:14:59. > :15:01.exactly six months to go until the start of the Commonwealth Games, I

:15:02. > :15:08.am in Glasgow to find out what Wales 's biggest ever team can expect when

:15:09. > :15:10.they arrive in the host city. Primary school children in Wales

:15:11. > :15:15.should be taught foreign languages as a way of halting the decline in

:15:16. > :15:18.their study here. That's the call today from the national centre for

:15:19. > :15:22.languages in Wales. Recent figures revealed a drastic drop in pupils

:15:23. > :15:29.studying a foreign language at GCSE and A Levels. Here's our education

:15:30. > :15:36.correspondent, Arwyn Jones. A language lesson with a difference

:15:37. > :15:38.in Cardiff today. It is not just the shouting that is unusual but the

:15:39. > :15:45.fact the children are learning Spanish. It is a really cool

:15:46. > :15:51.language to learn. I really enjoyed learning languages. It is a good

:15:52. > :15:58.experience. When you go on holiday you can talk to the locals and you

:15:59. > :16:02.can talk fluently to them. These children and in a minority. Every

:16:03. > :16:07.school in Wales has two teacher English and Welsh but don't have two

:16:08. > :16:12.teacher modern, foreign language. Now there are fears that Wales could

:16:13. > :16:17.be left behind. According to the head here, including Spanish in the

:16:18. > :16:20.timetable was a huge challenge. We made sure children had access to

:16:21. > :16:25.this modern foreign language because it would benefit them. When we look

:16:26. > :16:28.at the curriculum as a whole we all know it is incredibly challenging to

:16:29. > :16:37.include every aspect of the curriculum. Across Wales, courses

:16:38. > :16:40.like this one teach children the basics and now that our course to

:16:41. > :16:46.make sure every primary school offers a foreign language. Learning

:16:47. > :16:52.any language and as many as you can early can reinforce these skills and

:16:53. > :16:57.the cognitive activity that is going on. It can underline it. We have

:16:58. > :17:05.definite evidence this raises literacy. Easier ten students are

:17:06. > :17:09.starting their GCSE Italian course. I have taken Italian because it

:17:10. > :17:14.helps you get into university and things and it was recommended to me

:17:15. > :17:19.from the older students. It opens up so many more people to talk to.

:17:20. > :17:25.People don't tend to do it because they think it is either an cool all

:17:26. > :17:30.the think it is too hard. But they are part of a shrinking group. Eight

:17:31. > :17:38.years ago 13,000 pupils studied in modern foreign language as GCSE. Now

:17:39. > :17:45.it is around 86 ended. At A-level, it down from 1400 to less than 700.

:17:46. > :17:49.You lose the confidence to think you are going to go down that path. You

:17:50. > :17:54.go into secondary school and it is not taken up, not pushed, not

:17:55. > :17:57.encouraged. It is a detriment to our hopes of building a good economy.

:17:58. > :18:02.The Welsh Government says private schools are encouraged to teach

:18:03. > :18:08.foreign languages. -- primary schools. With economic as well as

:18:09. > :18:13.educational benefits to foreign languages, getting it right would be

:18:14. > :18:17.something to shout about. The final round of job cuts for our

:18:18. > :18:19.armed forces was announced today as the deadline approaches for UK

:18:20. > :18:23.troops to withdraw from Afghanistan at the end of this year. The Queen's

:18:24. > :18:27.Dragoon Guards, known as the Welsh Cavalry, will be the last UK force

:18:28. > :18:30.to see active combat when they deploy in May. Abigail Neal went to

:18:31. > :18:36.meet them on a training exercise in Pembrokeshire.

:18:37. > :18:48.They trained for the worst Afghanistan can offer. Enemy fire

:18:49. > :18:53.from all directions and a casualty to evacuate. The regiment is

:18:54. > :18:56.expected to deploy to Helmand province in May for what will be the

:18:57. > :19:05.last combat to the UK troops before they pull out in 2014. This, their

:19:06. > :19:08.third two, will feel very different. Previously the Queen's Dragoon

:19:09. > :19:12.guards were fighting side I side with the Afghan National Army. This

:19:13. > :19:17.time, they will be taking a back seat. Before we would have been on

:19:18. > :19:21.the front line fighting with the Afghan soldiers, now we're going to

:19:22. > :19:26.be sat back at the headquarters overseeing things and offering

:19:27. > :19:29.advice. While some regiments will be feeling the pain, from today's

:19:30. > :19:35.announcements on the final round of army redundancies be Queen's Dragoon

:19:36. > :19:39.guards are safe. The looking forward to the changes that will bring them

:19:40. > :19:47.closer to home. We will take up our place in the new army. Our role will

:19:48. > :19:50.be as a light cavalry Regiment, new capability that are still being

:19:51. > :19:55.defined and worked out. It is exciting for us. For soldiers who

:19:56. > :19:59.have been in Germany for a number of years, the icing on the cake is we

:20:00. > :20:07.will be moving back to Norfolk in 2015. While this training focuses on

:20:08. > :20:11.supporting the Afghan National Army, they also have to prepare for the

:20:12. > :20:15.danger it can bring. The risk of insider attacks they face are some

:20:16. > :20:18.of the last troops on the ground. In exactly six months time, the

:20:19. > :20:23.opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games will be about to get underway

:20:24. > :20:27.in Glasgow. Wales will be sending its biggest ever team, with 220

:20:28. > :20:31.athletes backed up by more than 100 coaches and support staff. They'll

:20:32. > :20:35.be the best prepared team ever to represent Wales. After 19 medals in

:20:36. > :20:39.Delhi, they've set themselves a target of 25 in 2014. Ashleigh

:20:40. > :20:47.Crowter's been to Glasgow to find out what they can expect.

:20:48. > :20:50.The Wales team had to travel right around the world for the last two

:20:51. > :20:56.Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and Delhi. Now, this year, it is a

:20:57. > :21:01.shorter trip to Glasgow in Scotland. The games will open here in July.

:21:02. > :21:04.With the venue is just an hour 's flight away, that is a different

:21:05. > :21:09.dynamic to Wales 's preparations this year. It is a home games.
