:00:00. > :00:17.upheaval of August 1914. That is all from us,

:00:18. > :00:21.Good evening. More than 7,000 patients were asked to rate the

:00:22. > :00:26.quality of their cancer treatment - and the vast majority thought their

:00:27. > :00:28.care was excellent or very good. In Wales, more than 18,000 people are

:00:29. > :00:34.diagnosed with cancer every year, with 24 people dying every day. But

:00:35. > :00:37.the study also found there were variations between hospitals and

:00:38. > :00:49.treatment for some types of cancer. Here's our health correspondent

:00:50. > :00:53.Owain Clarke. We've had your test results back

:00:54. > :00:58.from the lab and it is cancer. It's the news nobody wants to hear. In

:00:59. > :01:03.2009, this card if one face the shock of a cancer diagnosis. She

:01:04. > :01:06.noticed a lump on her neck and assumed it was just a swollen

:01:07. > :01:13.gland. It turned out to be a cancer that had spread. -- this Cardiff

:01:14. > :01:17.woman. The first thing I thought when I was told the diagnosis, apart

:01:18. > :01:21.from that I was going to die, was that I would be dreadfully

:01:22. > :01:26.disfigured. I had very good care from the physiotherapy service after

:01:27. > :01:30.surgery. Following her treatment, she was asked to rate her treatment

:01:31. > :01:36.as part of a Wales wide survey. The early 7500 patients took part.

:01:37. > :01:41.Overall, nine out of ten of them rated their care as excellent or

:01:42. > :01:44.good. But not every health board or hospital performed as well as each

:01:45. > :01:50.other. Patients were happiest with their care at a specialist cancer

:01:51. > :01:59.centre in Cardiff and also at a nearby hospital. A hospital in

:02:00. > :02:02.Bangor also scored highly. The hospitals in red had the least

:02:03. > :02:07.positive scores compared to the average. We need to make sure that

:02:08. > :02:12.the variance between health boards and hospitals is considered

:02:13. > :02:20.carefully. We need to make sure those key commitments in the Welsh

:02:21. > :02:22.Government's plan are implemented. There are also differences with how

:02:23. > :02:28.satisfied patients with different types all forms of cancer were with

:02:29. > :02:33.the care they got. Breast cancer patients, for example, had by far

:02:34. > :02:39.the most positive experiences. Those with lung cancer or bladder cancer,

:02:40. > :02:44.meanwhile, as well as patience with the rarer forms of cancer, tended to

:02:45. > :02:49.give the poorest scores. 68% of patients said they had been given

:02:50. > :02:54.information about the impact of the disease would have on their work or

:02:55. > :02:58.education, but just over half were given information about how to get

:02:59. > :03:02.financial help or benefits. According to the Welsh Government,

:03:03. > :03:07.this survey proves that the NHS in Wales can, at times, perform well

:03:08. > :03:12.and deliver for patients - even when services across the board are under

:03:13. > :03:15.intense pressure. The deputy head teacher of a Cardiff

:03:16. > :03:18.secondary school has been charged with three offences of voyeurism.

:03:19. > :03:21.47-year-old Gareth Williams has been suspended from Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg

:03:22. > :03:26.Glantaf in Llandaff North. Police say the offences are alleged to have

:03:27. > :03:29.taken place in a house. Two people have been jailed for

:03:30. > :03:32.trafficking women to Cardiff to work as prostitutes. Ladislav Kurina from

:03:33. > :03:36.the Czech Republic and Angelika Bacan from Romania pleaded guilty at

:03:37. > :03:44.Newport Crown Court to arranging for a 25 and 26-year-old to come here to

:03:45. > :03:55.work in the sex trade. The women were later left destitute and

:03:56. > :04:00.desperate. Paul Heaney reports. 29 euros Ladislav Kurina and

:04:01. > :04:05.26-year-old temp two. In September last year, they brought two and from

:04:06. > :04:11.the Czech Republic to Cardiff. -- 29-year-old Ladislav Kurina and

:04:12. > :04:17.26-year-old Angelika Bacan. They had subtle control over their victims

:04:18. > :04:20.and kept the money they earned. In desperation, the women turned to an

:04:21. > :04:26.abuse charity and spoke to the police. Because of the coverage of

:04:27. > :04:30.the women, we've been able to work with them and with the authorities

:04:31. > :04:35.to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to justice. Anybody involved

:04:36. > :04:41.in that area of work, it you cannot imagine the in terms of what it does

:04:42. > :04:49.to you as a person, what it does to you in your ability to feel that you

:04:50. > :04:52.value yourself. The judge described it as a Republican crime but

:04:53. > :04:57.although both girls agreed to come to the UK willingly, to take part in

:04:58. > :05:13.the sex trade, she said they felt they had me misled. -- a Republican

:05:14. > :05:16.crime. -- disgusting crime. 26-year-old Angelika Bacan, an

:05:17. > :05:19.engineering graduate from the University of Bucharest, was a

:05:20. > :05:25.willing accessory to Ladislav Kurina. This is a modern day slavery

:05:26. > :05:32.understood all -- totally unacceptable. Those who seek to deny

:05:33. > :05:35.people of their most basic human rights should be in no doubt that we

:05:36. > :05:39.will do everything in our power to bring them to justice. The women

:05:40. > :05:43.have since returned to the Czech Republic, just one of 34 suspected

:05:44. > :05:47.cases of human trafficking in Wales last year. Charities say not

:05:48. > :05:49.everybody is able to escape so quickly.

:05:50. > :05:52.Members of the royalties agency Eos, which controls the broadcast rights

:05:53. > :05:56.to thousands of Welsh-language songs, have voted to continue talks

:05:57. > :05:59.with the BBC over a new deal to play their music. It follows meetings in

:06:00. > :06:03.Caernarfon and Cardiff tonight. In December a copyright tribunal ruled

:06:04. > :06:06.the BBC should pay ?100,000 a year for the right to broadcast the Eos

:06:07. > :06:18.songs - significantly less than the ?1.5 million they'd hoped for.

:06:19. > :06:21.Routine operations have resumed in North Wales after being postponed

:06:22. > :06:24.last week. The action affected hospitals across the Betti Cadwaladr

:06:25. > :06:33.Health Board area - officials blamed increased pressures on A

:06:34. > :06:36.departments. The airline CityJet say they are

:06:37. > :06:39.open to expanding services at Cardiff Airport in future. CityJet,

:06:40. > :06:42.which is part of the Air France group, has begun flights to

:06:43. > :06:44.destinations such as Glasgow and Paris following the withdrawal of

:06:45. > :06:47.Flybe from Cardiff. Charging for plastic carrier bags,

:06:48. > :06:50.free prescriptions and the foundation phase in primary schools

:06:51. > :06:54.are all policies made in Wales. Now, finding out weather policies like

:06:55. > :06:57.these actually work will be the task of a new think tank called the

:06:58. > :07:00.Public Policy Institute for Wales. The group will report directly to

:07:01. > :07:15.the Welsh Government. The First Minister explained what it'll do. In

:07:16. > :07:18.the civil service, a vital services provided but we need people to look

:07:19. > :07:23.at what works and, on occasion, what doesn't work. Traditionally in

:07:24. > :07:27.Wales, we haven't had that. It has existed in other parts of the UK and

:07:28. > :07:29.it's important we make sure we have the right evidence base when we make

:07:30. > :07:32.decisions. Swansea City have confirmed the

:07:33. > :07:35.signing of striker David Ngog from Bolton Wanderers for the rest of the

:07:36. > :07:38.season for an undisclosed fee. Cardiff City have striker Kenwyne

:07:39. > :07:41.Jones and defender Fabio da Silva training with them, ending moves

:07:42. > :07:44.from Stoke and Manchester United, though they 're not set to face

:07:45. > :07:51.United tomorrow, while the loan deal for Wilfried Zaha could be completed

:07:52. > :07:54.tomorrow. Tomorrow Warren Gatland names his

:07:55. > :07:58.side to face Italy this weekend in the opening round of the Six

:07:59. > :08:01.Nations. A decision will be made on captain Sam Warburton's fitness in

:08:02. > :08:05.the morning. But prop Gethin Jenkins is out of Saturday's match with a

:08:06. > :08:06.knee injury. All the details on who'll start for Wales tomorrow
