:00:15. > :00:27.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Hit by debt.

:00:28. > :00:31.Mandy Dumagnee owes thousands and is going bankrupt. A charity warns of

:00:32. > :00:34.the huge increase in people here turning to them for help. So what's

:00:35. > :00:45.the true cost of living? Politicians debate whether we are better off.

:00:46. > :00:54.Also tonight: Growing opposition to plans for pylons. People on Anglesey

:00:55. > :00:59.call on the National Grid not to build them across the island. At the

:01:00. > :01:03.moment, pylons carry energy across the bridge but with the new lines,

:01:04. > :01:10.there may be new pressure to bury those cables the Neath the river.

:01:11. > :01:14.On the eve of her 19th birthday, the family of Nida Naseer, missing for

:01:15. > :01:14.almost a month, appeal again for her to come home.

:01:15. > :01:16.In to come home.

:01:17. > :01:23.Wales. Alun Wyn Jones snubs to come home.

:01:24. > :01:25.And his life was changed forever when a stunt went wrong. The

:01:26. > :01:36.daredevil cyclist challenge on two wheels.

:01:37. > :01:39.Good evening. There's a warning tonight that more and more people

:01:40. > :01:43.are looking for help with debt and are unable to afford the basics in

:01:44. > :01:46.life. The Charity Stepchange has compiled a Wales-wide report and

:01:47. > :01:49.they've been backed up by Trades Unions saying many families have

:01:50. > :01:52.been pushed into financial misery. It comes as politicians across the

:01:53. > :01:55.board debate whether households are better off. The UK Government says

:01:56. > :02:03.wages are rising. Our economics correspondent, Sarah Dickins, has

:02:04. > :02:08.more. How much many we have to spend,

:02:09. > :02:13.whether we have becoming better off is the question on everyone's lips.

:02:14. > :02:17.The economy is growing but does that translate into more cash in our

:02:18. > :02:27.pockets or are our personal debts growing? Mandy Dumagnee G had two

:02:28. > :02:31.children and had a breakdown. She is now working as a support worker. But

:02:32. > :02:36.that she ends ?15,000 a year, half of what she learned five years ago.

:02:37. > :02:43.She has been struggling with money and was ?46,000 in debt. She has

:02:44. > :02:47.paid back more than ?20,000 but still owes ?26,000 and is filing for

:02:48. > :02:52.bankruptcy. A lot of families don't have enough money coming in to meet

:02:53. > :02:57.the bills. Our electricity and gas has gone up. The food bills, petrol,

:02:58. > :03:02.everything. I believe we are still in a crisis. A debt charities

:03:03. > :03:05.helping her and many others and they say last year the number of people

:03:06. > :03:11.turning for them to advice increased by 43%. The sums people are when has

:03:12. > :03:16.fallen but more are taking out payday loans to cover their bills.

:03:17. > :03:22.Up from 2.6% in 2010 to more than 18% last year. In this area of

:03:23. > :03:29.Swansea many are finding money tight. This community cafe has kept

:03:30. > :03:36.prices and is serving meals costing just ?1. The all-day breakfast is

:03:37. > :03:43.particularly popular. We have got a lot of people really struggling

:03:44. > :03:48.early in 2014. Jobs are hard to come by and benefits are being kept and

:03:49. > :03:54.we have to eat. This is our way of providing affordable meals. In Wales

:03:55. > :04:03.'s largest recruitment agency they are feeling buoyant.

:04:04. > :04:07.Across-the-board, different regions of Wales and outside of Wales we are

:04:08. > :04:09.seeing a lot of activity. It is very buoyant and a

:04:10. > :04:11.seeing a lot of activity. It is very for people looking for work.

:04:12. > :04:14.seeing a lot of activity. It is very Companies let this will reflect

:04:15. > :04:17.seeing a lot of activity. It is very feeling the economy is picking up

:04:18. > :04:19.seeing a lot of activity. It is very about whether we feel better off.

:04:20. > :04:20.seeing a lot of activity. It is very The UK government is correct in

:04:21. > :04:25.saying that The UK government is correct in

:04:26. > :04:27.have risen a little under last year but critics are

:04:28. > :04:28.have risen a little under last year saying that does not include changes

:04:29. > :04:32.to welfare nor make up the saying that does not include changes

:04:33. > :04:37.prices have been rising more steeply than wages year after year. Whatever

:04:38. > :04:42.the government 's spin, there are -- the reality is exposed by today's

:04:43. > :04:55.report and more people in Wales are working in poverty and having to

:04:56. > :04:58.rely on payday lenders. Debt is obviously built up over some time

:04:59. > :05:06.and in 2009 saw the sharpest drop in wages. There is a long-term economic

:05:07. > :05:14.plan in place and as a result of the recent inflation figures, people are

:05:15. > :05:17.now finding themselves better off. What is clear from the debate about

:05:18. > :05:21.whether we are better off is that the cost of living will dominate

:05:22. > :05:23.arguments right up until the general election.

:05:24. > :05:31.Sarah joins me now. So we know the politicians are fighting it out, but

:05:32. > :05:35.what's your take on the debate? There are some very good signs

:05:36. > :05:38.around. We know and employment is falling in Wales and if you look at

:05:39. > :05:41.the number of people in the Welsh workforce it is bigger than it has

:05:42. > :05:50.been to 22 years. That is good news. We also knew we are making and

:05:51. > :05:54.serving -- selling more services. We are still the bottom of the pack

:05:55. > :06:00.when we look at different parts of the UK but our economy is growing.

:06:01. > :06:04.This argument highlights how severe the 2008 recession was. Although the

:06:05. > :06:07.government is right in saying that in the last year the average weekly

:06:08. > :06:14.wage has risen more than inflation, we've had many years since 2008 when

:06:15. > :06:18.people have seen prices going up much more than they wages. A lot of

:06:19. > :06:24.people had a wage freeze a few years ago at a time when inflation and the

:06:25. > :06:27.cost of living was going up 3% to 4%. We got a lot of ground to make

:06:28. > :06:36.up and although things are improving the dish -- economy is not as big as

:06:37. > :06:40.it was in 2008. People are gathering at a meeting on

:06:41. > :06:43.Anglesey this evening, where there's growing opposition to building new

:06:44. > :06:46.power lines and pylons across the island. Engineers are planning for

:06:47. > :06:49.new energy schemes which include a nuclear power station at Wylfa and

:06:50. > :06:56.offshore wind farms. Our environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd,

:06:57. > :06:59.reports. Increasingly Anglesey is cultivating

:07:00. > :07:05.its ambition to become an energy aisle. Within a decade new turbines,

:07:06. > :07:11.new nuclear plant and a tidal scheme could be built.

:07:12. > :07:12.new nuclear plant and a tidal scheme energy could come from this area but

:07:13. > :07:16.there is disagreement how this letter today should be transported

:07:17. > :07:19.to where it is needed most in England. The National Grid prefer a

:07:20. > :07:24.new overhead line. All England. The National Grid prefer a

:07:25. > :07:33.many people would England. The National Grid prefer a

:07:34. > :07:39.to the National Grid laying power cables under the sea would cost ?2.5

:07:40. > :07:43.billion. Three times more expensive than putting new pylons up.

:07:44. > :07:46.According to many people on Anglesey whether they are supportive or

:07:47. > :07:52.opposed the new power schemes like offshore wind farms, they are

:07:53. > :07:56.concerned the grid is intent on building new pylons despite some

:07:57. > :08:04.local opposition. New developments could include Horizon's nuclear

:08:05. > :08:09.plans -- plant. The offshore wind farm could supply another two

:08:10. > :08:18.gigawatts of power. That is a sense of growing resentment. It will

:08:19. > :08:27.affect the tourism industry and house prices. They could be a 25%

:08:28. > :08:33.reduction. There are health issues. There are many concerns. The

:08:34. > :08:38.National Grid says its assessment and planning continues and it is now

:08:39. > :08:45.considering underground power cables. We are making sure we know

:08:46. > :08:53.their requirements. When we take the option for it will be the right one.

:08:54. > :08:57.In the feedback we have got, people said it was a sensitive area and we

:08:58. > :09:03.recognise that. If there is an overhead line, they might not be

:09:04. > :09:10.pylons across the Menai Strait. It might be a few years until a final

:09:11. > :09:13.decision is taken. Iolo ap Dafydd is at the meeting for

:09:14. > :09:25.us this evening. Iolo, strong opinions there? I think we will

:09:26. > :09:28.probably hear lots of opinions, especially about the National

:09:29. > :09:32.Grid's consultation and how they did that consultations. There are

:09:33. > :09:40.concerns it was a year ago and it wasn't as open as it shouldn't team.

:09:41. > :09:48.We'll probably hear about concerns from people living near pylons. But

:09:49. > :09:52.the national grid says it has not finished its assessment and that

:09:53. > :09:55.would continues. A final decision is several years away.

:09:56. > :09:58.South Wales Police say six people, including a police inspector and

:09:59. > :10:01.another serving officer, have been arrested. It's understood to relate

:10:02. > :10:07.to the officers' work in connection with licensing.

:10:08. > :10:09.to the officers' work in connection inspector remains on duty.

:10:17. > :10:17.former deputy speaker of the House of Commons, has pleaded not guilty

:10:24. > :10:27.Preston Crown Court. He denies all the

:10:28. > :10:36.between 2002 and 2013. He's due to be tried in March.

:10:37. > :10:40.Gwent Police have told BBC Wales that other forces across the UK have

:10:41. > :10:43.received a small number of reported sightings of the missing Newport

:10:44. > :10:47.teenager Nida Naseer. It's liaising with officers in those areas. Today

:10:48. > :10:57.her family have made a video appeal for her to return home. She turns 19

:10:58. > :11:01.tomorrow. An emotional appeal for missing Nida

:11:02. > :11:09.Naseer on the eve of her birthday. Today her sister and mother pleaded

:11:10. > :11:15.for her to get in touch. We are all worried about you. Please come home.

:11:16. > :11:21.Please come back home. We all miss you and love you. We all need you.

:11:22. > :11:25.Police have been trying to solve the mystery of her disappearance the

:11:26. > :11:30.nearly a month. Searching areas of Newport and Cardiff and reviewing

:11:31. > :11:35.her computer, phone and bank account records. So far, nothing. But today

:11:36. > :11:40.Gwent Police have revealed for the first time that forces outside of

:11:41. > :11:45.Wales across the UK have responded to a small number of possible

:11:46. > :11:48.sightings of Nida Naseer and officers have been deployed to

:11:49. > :11:52.follow up the reports. So far there have been no positive

:11:53. > :11:55.identifications. The family say she was upset the night she disappeared

:11:56. > :12:00.and was she could not go to university because of their failed

:12:01. > :12:05.asylum claim. They believe that is why she left home. The hope now is

:12:06. > :12:11.that her birthday tomorrow may prompt her to get in touch with her

:12:12. > :12:18.desperate family or the police. Still to come tonight: He refereed

:12:41. > :12:48.Seren Bernard from Haverfordwest was found hanged in 2012. She was living

:12:49. > :12:51.with foster carers at the time. A serious case review also concluded

:12:52. > :12:55.it was uncertain whether any steps could have been taken to prevent her

:12:56. > :13:00.death. We can speak to our reporter, Abigail Neal, now.

:13:24. > :13:27.attempt on her life after running away from her grandmother's house.

:13:28. > :13:31.Seren's mother, Sarah Pollock, alleged soon after her daughter died

:13:32. > :13:35.that there had been serious failings by Pembrokeshire Social Services in

:13:36. > :13:39.respect of her daughter. Ms Pollock claimed that Seren had not had

:13:40. > :13:41.access to the mental health support and counselling she needed, and

:13:42. > :13:46.accused social services of being "complacent". But today's report

:13:47. > :13:49.found that Seren was in receipt of a range of services, including a drug

:13:50. > :13:55.and alcohol support programme, from committed and responsive

:13:56. > :13:57.professionals. And while it finds that there could have been better

:13:58. > :14:00.multi-agency co-operation and planning, particularly after there

:14:01. > :14:02.had already been one serious traumatic suicide attempt, it's

:14:03. > :14:13.uncertain whether anything could have prevented her death. Seren's

:14:14. > :14:16.mother did not want to give an interview today but said she needed

:14:17. > :14:26.time to consider the report carefully.

:14:32. > :14:34.79-year-old Iris Mayer from Fairwater in Cardiff returned home

:14:35. > :14:37.from hospital last week to find her home ransacked and valuables stolen.

:14:38. > :14:52.She wrote an open letter to the thief hoping it would prick his

:14:53. > :14:55.conscience. Four South Wales men who became

:14:56. > :14:58.involved in a mass brawl at a racecourse have avoided immediate

:14:59. > :15:01.jail terms. The men admitted the charges of affray in connection with

:15:02. > :15:04.fighting which broke out between Cardiff City and Swansea football

:15:05. > :15:07.fans at Newbury Racecourse in July 2012. They have been sentenced to

:15:08. > :15:10.ten months in prison, suspended for a year, and ordered to complete 200

:15:11. > :15:15.hours of unpaid work. It's home to a stone built dam, the

:15:16. > :15:18.first of its kind in the world, but now the 23,000 acre Lake Vyrnwy

:15:19. > :15:21.estate has been branded as "unkept" by the people living there. It had

:15:22. > :15:24.been hoped the Powys estate, owned by utilities giant Severn Trent

:15:25. > :15:29.Water, would fetch ?11 million when it was put on the market in 2010.

:15:30. > :15:31.But after a deal fell through, the local community council says the

:15:32. > :15:34.area has been rundown. Charlotte Dubenskij reports.

:15:35. > :15:41.Tucked away in the heart of Wales, the sprawling Lake Bernet Estates is

:15:42. > :15:46.a popular spot for tourists. But the tranquillity of this national nature

:15:47. > :15:55.reserve has been disturbed. Tensions are now spilling over. The local

:15:56. > :16:00.community council has criticised the owners, saying they have neglected

:16:01. > :16:04.the estate since a deal to sell it fell through last year. It is

:16:05. > :16:16.leading to deterioration of fencing and roads around the estate which is

:16:17. > :16:18.leading to deterioration of fencing farmers have got problems on their

:16:19. > :16:24.properties and they farmers have got problems on their

:16:25. > :16:28.are no set dates for it. That claim of a general lack of maintenance is

:16:29. > :16:34.visible. Particularly around the Jake Ball of this estate, Lakeview

:16:35. > :16:41.knife. But Severn Trent Water says much of the work it undertakes his

:16:42. > :16:47.unseen. The estate is almost 23,000 acres and we're trying to keep on

:16:48. > :16:50.top of everything. With the weather the last two months, we cannot

:16:51. > :17:03.always keep on top of everything. We work very hard. A consultation on

:17:04. > :17:08.the future of this estate is due to be launched in the spring and while

:17:09. > :17:12.the community council welcome that they say action needs to be taken

:17:13. > :17:15.before then to make sure nothing detracts from the natural beauty of

:17:16. > :17:21.this spot. Tonight's sport now. Here's Claire.

:17:22. > :17:24.Good evening. It's a welcome boost for Welsh rugby. Despite several

:17:25. > :17:28.offers from other clubs, Alun Wyn Jones has bucked the trend and

:17:29. > :17:31.pledged his future to the Ospreys. The Wales lock has re-signed for

:17:32. > :17:40.another two years, saying he's happy to have resolved the issue so he can

:17:41. > :17:45.concentrate solely on his game. Alun Wyn Jones running out for the

:17:46. > :17:51.Ospreys, a site fans will be singing season. The 28-year-old says his

:17:52. > :17:55.decision is based on being in the right environment to prolong his

:17:56. > :18:00.career. It is a big boost to retain a player of his stature. There were

:18:01. > :18:08.players in my day which went to rugby. I decided to stay in Wales.

:18:09. > :18:11.It is very much a personal choice. The attraction of a bit more money

:18:12. > :18:16.in France might be there but it is not the ultimate objective for

:18:17. > :18:18.everyone. The decision over where players ply their trade is

:18:19. > :18:24.heightened by the unsettling political unrest ongoing between the

:18:25. > :18:26.regions and the WRU. The chief executive Roger Lewis issued a

:18:27. > :18:32.statement today saying it's great news for the Ospreys and Welsh

:18:33. > :18:36.rugby. He went on to say and the WRU's proposed agreement which is

:18:37. > :18:40.currently being reviewed by the regions, the Ospreys will be

:18:41. > :18:46.significantly rewarded for retaining a Welsh qualified player. Alun Wyn

:18:47. > :18:49.Jones' decision has stopped the one-way traffic leaving Wales. 11

:18:50. > :18:55.Welsh internationals will be based on a window France next season.

:18:56. > :18:57.Leigh Halfpenny the latest to go. His current club say it's very hard

:18:58. > :19:02.to see him go. When His current club say it's very hard

:19:03. > :19:07.effort into a player like that it's devastating to see go.

:19:08. > :19:08.effort into a player like that it's devastating. But what you have to

:19:09. > :19:11.look at in devastating. But what you have to

:19:12. > :19:16.French Federation have ?65 million a devastating. But what you have to

:19:17. > :19:24.year broadcasting contract. The English have over ?30 million. Ours

:19:25. > :19:30.is ?5.5 million. All eyes are now on Sam Warburton who will consider a

:19:31. > :19:33.new regional deal or a central contract with the union. We should

:19:34. > :19:37.know very soon. Football and it's FA Cup action this

:19:38. > :19:40.weekend for Cardiff City and Swansea City. The Bluebirds travel to Bolton

:19:41. > :19:43.tomorrow. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed another player from his

:19:44. > :19:46.former club Molde and Wigan defender, Ivan Ramis, subject to a

:19:47. > :19:50.medical. The club are also close to taking Manchester United's Wilfried

:19:51. > :19:52.Zaha on loan. Swansea City are away to Birmingham. Last night, plans

:19:53. > :19:55.were approved to increase the capacity of the Liberty Stadium from

:19:56. > :20:07.just under 21,000 to 33,000. There are more than 8,000 fans waiting for

:20:08. > :20:13.season tickets. If you win, it always gives you something for the

:20:14. > :20:19.next game. I hope we will win tomorrow so it helps us on Tuesday.

:20:20. > :20:27.But whatever happens on -- tomorrow, Tuesday is a key game. I

:20:28. > :20:31.have thought long and hard about ringing players in and I'm sure

:20:32. > :20:36.these three have the quality. Maybe not tomorrow but in the long-term.

:20:37. > :20:41.He's the stunt cyclist whose videos have become an internet sensation.

:20:42. > :20:44.Martyn Ashton's daredevil tricks on a bike have been watched by millions

:20:45. > :20:48.of people around the world. Four months ago, it looked like his

:20:49. > :20:51.cycling career was over after he was left paralysed when a stunt went

:20:52. > :20:54.badly wrong. Now, the 40-year-old from Margam is ready to face a new

:21:16. > :21:20.the former world champion mountain bike rider had become an internet

:21:21. > :21:30.sensation. But last year, it all went wrong and his life was to

:21:31. > :21:35.change forever. I had an accident and fell really badly. And

:21:36. > :21:41.fortunately I broke my back which has left me paralysed from the waist

:21:42. > :21:50.down. I knew the permanence of it as well. I knew I would never walk

:21:51. > :21:53.again. At the time of his accident, Martyn had already started filming

:21:54. > :21:57.his second stunt video. From his hospital bed, he decided to finish

:21:58. > :22:03.it. Cyclists from around the world offered to help. Within weeks, the

:22:49. > :22:52.He was the Welshman who refereed one of the most memorable FA Cup finals

:22:53. > :22:56.in history and took part in a World Cup final. But plenty of people

:22:57. > :22:59.don't know who he is. Today, a blue plaque was unveiled to remember the

:23:00. > :23:02.late Mervyn Griffiths from Blaina, who inspired other referees from

:23:03. > :23:11.Wales to similar heights. Here's our Gwent Valleys reporter, Paul Heaney.

:23:12. > :23:17.The FA Cup final between Blackpool and Bolton in 1953. It is often

:23:18. > :23:23.known as the Matthews final thanks to the performance of the late Sir

:23:24. > :23:28.Stanley Matthews. But there was a Welshman on the pitch that day as

:23:29. > :23:32.well. Referee Mervyn Griffiths, one of the most highly regarded

:23:33. > :23:36.officials of the year. In six spells near Abertillery in attempt to

:23:37. > :23:40.remind people of his achievements and the other Welsh officials he

:23:41. > :23:47.helped to inspire. I was just starting as the youngest referee in

:23:48. > :23:54.Wales at 17 and I thought, this chap has got to the cup final. I want to

:23:55. > :23:56.which even this. It spurred me on. Mervyn Griffiths became

:23:57. > :24:01.internationally famous in the 1954 World Cup final between Hungary and

:24:02. > :24:08.West Germany. As linesman he ruled an equalising goal offside for the

:24:09. > :24:14.massive favourites Hungary. It allowed West Germany to claim an

:24:15. > :24:20.unlikely victory. Despite his achievements he was still a man of

:24:21. > :24:30.the people. He appeared to be very jovial and was always smiling. A

:24:31. > :24:36.very amicable guy. He was always one of the team. Until today his name

:24:37. > :24:41.may only have been known by foot or anoraks but now it will be cast in

:24:42. > :24:44.the memories of those who live in the area he was born.

:24:45. > :24:46.Well, we have a rather wet weekend in store. Owain is here with the

:24:47. > :24:52.forecast tonight. How is it looking? I am afraid we have some rain on the

:24:53. > :25:02.way this weekend. I am afraid we have some rain on the

:25:03. > :25:03.rain today. You can see this band of rain over

:25:04. > :25:05.rain today. You can see this band of set to remain quite

:25:06. > :25:10.rain today. You can see this band of next few hours and as we

:25:11. > :25:13.rain today. You can see this band of will clear and mist and fog patches

:25:14. > :25:20.will form the country. This is that and of

:25:21. > :25:23.rain making its way to the east and behind it a few showers but

:25:24. > :25:30.generally a cloudy night with mist and fog patches. Remaining quite

:25:31. > :25:37.breezy on the coast. The mist and fog most likely further east. Quite

:25:38. > :25:40.breezy on the West Coast. Tomorrow morning, some showers across parts

:25:41. > :25:46.of south and south-east Wales. Up from Powys, a bit cloudy and the odd

:25:47. > :25:49.shower likely. North-east Wales mainly dry but Anglesey and Gwynedd

:25:50. > :25:57.are likely to catch a few heavy downpours. Through Ceredigion, again

:26:08. > :26:11.strong winds throughout the day tomorrow but parts of mid Wales and

:26:12. > :26:18.South Wales likely to see the best of any sunny spells. Temperatures

:26:19. > :26:23.around 11 degrees in Cardiff but closer to eight in Caernarfon. This

:26:24. > :26:27.is where the story changes little because these showers move on and

:26:28. > :26:31.will have a dry spell across much of the country for a time tomorrow

:26:32. > :26:38.night. A band of showers across the country and a band of heavy rain on

:26:39. > :26:42.the way. It could be quite a cold night. A weather warning for South

:26:43. > :26:49.Wales on Sunday. Very heavy rain likely. It will remain quite

:26:50. > :26:55.unsettled thanks to this area of low pressure. Looking forward to

:26:56. > :26:57.Monday, still quite windy but less in the way of rain so a fairly

:26:58. > :27:05.unsettled picture for now. A reminder of our top stories: Many

:27:06. > :27:07.families have been pushed into financial misery, according to the

:27:08. > :27:11.charity StepChange. Their Wales-wide report suggests more people are

:27:12. > :27:16.unable to afford the basics in life. It comes as the UK Government says

:27:17. > :27:20.wages are rising. The family of missing Nida Naseer

:27:21. > :27:23.have made a video appeal for her to return home ahead of her 19th

:27:24. > :27:26.birthday tomorrow. A small number of sightings have been reported across

:27:27. > :27:35.the UK and Gwent Police are liaising with officers in those areas.

:27:36. > :27:39.And that is Wales Today. We'll have an update at 8:00pm and more news at
