:00:00. > :00:00.you. That is all from
:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: "Always in our hearts".
:00:09. > :00:12.The parents of six-day-old Eliza-Mae Mullane, who died at the family home
:00:13. > :00:24.where a dog was seized, say they will cherish the little time they
:00:25. > :00:27.had with her. Here in part about bury the community is pledging its
:00:28. > :00:43.support as the family say there are no words to describe how they feel.
:00:44. > :00:46.Also tonight: The Prime Minister visits flood-hit businesses in
:00:47. > :00:48.Pembrokeshire and pledges to work with the Welsh Government on flood
:00:49. > :00:51.defences. For the first time in five years,
:00:52. > :00:55.unemployment in Wales falls below the UK average.
:00:56. > :00:58.Rare access to the team looking into allegations of historical abuse at
:00:59. > :01:04.North Wales care homes. The man in charge is confident of more arrests.
:01:05. > :01:14.And after indiscipline in Dublin, Mike Phillips is on the bench for
:01:15. > :01:17.the Friday night clash with France. Good evening. The parents of
:01:18. > :01:20.six-day-old Eliza-Mae, who died following an incident in Pontyberem
:01:21. > :01:25.yesterday, have said she will always be in their hearts and thoughts.
:01:26. > :01:30.Sharon John and Patrick Mullane said there are no words to describe how
:01:31. > :01:32.they feel. The family dog has been seized as part of the police
:01:33. > :01:44.investigation. Our reporter Cemlyn Davies is in the Gwendraeth Valley
:01:45. > :01:49.tonight. The police called in has gone from
:01:50. > :01:55.the road and more floral tributes have appeared outside Eliza-Mae's
:01:56. > :01:58.home. In terms of the police investigation we have not had an
:01:59. > :02:05.update today but what we have had is a touching tribute from her parents.
:02:06. > :02:12.Eliza May was less than a week old when she died. Today her parents
:02:13. > :02:17.shared -- said she would always be in their hearts and thoughts. Sharon
:02:18. > :02:22.John and Patrick Mullane said their baby girl brought joy into our
:02:23. > :02:25.family and losing her like this has cast the most horrible shadow over
:02:26. > :02:29.all of us. There are no words we can use to describe what we feel at the
:02:30. > :02:34.moment and we don't think they will ever be. Flowers and a soft toy have
:02:35. > :02:40.also been left outside the family home. One of the messages reads,
:02:41. > :02:49.Eliza-Mae, with the Angels, rest in peace. This is a community in grief
:02:50. > :02:53.and shock. This family will need a great deal of support over the next
:02:54. > :03:03.months and years. Our sympathy goes out to them because it is a real
:03:04. > :03:11.tragedy. The emergency services were called to the road around half eight
:03:12. > :03:16.-- half busted yesterday morning. She didn't know whether she was
:03:17. > :03:25.coming or going. She was walking around in a daze. I don't think she
:03:26. > :03:31.took it all in. The family dog has been seized by police as part of the
:03:32. > :03:38.investigation. It is an Alaskan malamute, breed which is not banned.
:03:39. > :03:42.The tragedy that has unfolded in this small community has drawn
:03:43. > :03:45.journalists from far and wide and today's edition of the Sun newspaper
:03:46. > :03:51.has been criticised for its graphic front-page headline. The press
:03:52. > :03:54.complaints commission has confirmed it has received complaints and this
:03:55. > :04:02.afternoon the newspaper explained it had no intention of being this
:04:03. > :04:08.respectful. -- this respectful. The sun has drastically overstepped the
:04:09. > :04:15.mark in terms of what is decent. They have caused offence to the
:04:16. > :04:21.people of Pontyberem. The investigation into what happened is
:04:22. > :04:25.continuing. The police say they are not in a position to confirm how
:04:26. > :04:31.Eliza-Mae died and the postmortem is expected to take race later this
:04:32. > :04:37.week. Do we know any more tonight about
:04:38. > :04:43.what happened? Not really. We have not heard from the police and they
:04:44. > :04:48.tell us there is unlikely to be an official update until the end of the
:04:49. > :04:52.week. That means they is more speculation and some of that it's
:04:53. > :04:57.making its way into news coverage and that is what is starting to
:04:58. > :05:01.anger local residents. More official information is expected from the
:05:02. > :05:05.police towards the end of the week. The Prime Minister has told Wales
:05:06. > :05:08.Today he's happy to talk to the Welsh Government about any help he
:05:09. > :05:12.can offer to prevent flooding here in the future. David Cameron was
:05:13. > :05:16.speaking on a visit to Pembrokeshire today, where he met people affected
:05:17. > :05:19.by the recent storms and saw some of the damage. While Mr Cameron didn't
:05:20. > :05:22.dismiss the idea of financial help, he pointed out the responsibility
:05:23. > :05:29.for flood defences is devolved. Here's our Environment
:05:30. > :05:32.Correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd. Pembrokeshire was one of the worst
:05:33. > :05:36.hit areas in the recent winter storms. Newgale has suffered more
:05:37. > :05:42.than most have to deal force winds, high tides and rain affected the
:05:43. > :05:48.coast causing flooding and sweeping much of the famous beach across the
:05:49. > :05:51.main road. David Cameron came to see the damage for himself today.
:05:52. > :05:59.Earlier this month this pub was completely surrounded by water.
:06:00. > :06:03.Today, it has been completely gutted and the Prem and Esther went to see
:06:04. > :06:12.the renovation work. -- Prime Minister. Later while visiting a
:06:13. > :06:17.factory in Saint Davids, he stopped short of making they would be UK
:06:18. > :06:23.help to deal with the effects of flooding. -- stopped short of
:06:24. > :06:27.saying. We are still waiting for the waters to recede to see how much
:06:28. > :06:30.damage has been done but flood defences are a matter for the Welsh
:06:31. > :06:39.Assembly Government. The Welsh Government has pledged ?4.5 million
:06:40. > :06:47.to deal with the recent flooding. In mid Wales, schemes like the one here
:06:48. > :06:54.could give one solution. It is run by the Montgomeryshire wildlife
:06:55. > :06:59.trust. This project is restoring peatland in around 1000 hectares but
:07:00. > :07:03.here in the Cambrian Mountains there are 40,000 hectares that could
:07:04. > :07:08.potentially store more water and hold the rainwater. It does not mean
:07:09. > :07:13.it will stop flooding further downstream but it does mean it could
:07:14. > :07:17.slow down the process of water leaving this area into streams and
:07:18. > :07:25.rivers. As well as the peak itself, plants that grow here absorbs a lot
:07:26. > :07:33.of moisture. It is absolutely a sponge. If extended to other areas
:07:34. > :07:37.and the amount of sheep and cattle that Gracia is controlled, it could
:07:38. > :07:42.make a difference. The three metres of rainfall we have on this land, to
:07:43. > :07:47.be held back and slowed down so that it doesn't all rushed downstream and
:07:48. > :07:51.end up in somebody's home. As well as the seven, the Wye River also
:07:52. > :07:58.start in the Cambrian Mountains and as we've seen recently has caused
:07:59. > :08:04.huge problems. But the peat bogs are only part of the answer. That is a
:08:05. > :08:10.lot of different landscapes that are managed in different ways. They
:08:11. > :08:19.could all be improved so things like planting woodland bents -- belts in
:08:20. > :08:22.farmland. Elsewhere in Wales, the clean up is taking a long time. The
:08:23. > :08:27.big decisions in future will include whether main roads can still be used
:08:28. > :08:31.or if they will have to move further inland. If new coastal defences
:08:32. > :08:37.should be built or really is re-routed. But without a commitment
:08:38. > :08:42.from the UK Government that is still a question of who is going to pay.
:08:43. > :08:45.Unemployment in Wales has fallen below the UK average for the first
:08:46. > :08:49.time in almost five years. The rate of 7.1% is slightly below the UK
:08:50. > :08:52.average of 7.2%. The number of people out of work stands at
:08:53. > :08:56.105,000, a fall of 12,000. The governments in Westminster and here
:08:57. > :08:59.have both been quick to claim the credit. Our Political Editor, Nick
:09:00. > :09:07.Servini, is here. So, Nick, who's right? The main economic leaders are
:09:08. > :09:12.at Westminster in terms of things like tax and interest rates. Carwyn
:09:13. > :09:16.Jones the first Minister in Wales knows that but it's interesting to
:09:17. > :09:22.the extent the Welsh Government are talking up their contribution to
:09:23. > :09:26.this recovery. These figures are significant. This is the first
:09:27. > :09:30.period of sustained time where the unemployment rate in Wales has been
:09:31. > :09:34.about the same as the UK average and we have not had that situation since
:09:35. > :09:39.before the recession. We should not be surprised that the political
:09:40. > :09:43.parties are looking to claim credit. We have a general election next year
:09:44. > :09:47.of course. If there is a sustained nature to this it is not a flash in
:09:48. > :09:53.the pan, then the political parties and the government will be desperate
:09:54. > :09:58.to be associated with something that could change the perception of Wales
:09:59. > :10:14.as a country which performs poorly economic leaf. -- economic leaf. The
:10:15. > :10:17.Prime Minister David Cameron was in Pembrokeshire today not just talking
:10:18. > :10:21.about the flooding but talking about the economic recovery and how it was
:10:22. > :10:24.being felt in counties like temperature outside of the
:10:25. > :10:30.south-east Finland. -- Pembrokeshire. Carwyn Jones talked
:10:31. > :10:38.about the role the Welsh Government has in all of this. The recovery has
:10:39. > :10:43.been faster and stronger in Wales and that is where we can in. If you
:10:44. > :10:50.can pay us with the north-east of England, unemployment there is far
:10:51. > :10:55.higher. That's despite the fact the economic profile of that area is
:10:56. > :10:59.similar to Wales. How much can we expect this to become a battle
:11:00. > :11:03.ground? It will be about the narrative that the governments bring
:11:04. > :11:08.to it. The Welsh Government built their narrative around the pro-act
:11:09. > :11:14.wage subsidy scheme but now the mode in recovery is about jobs growth
:11:15. > :11:19.Wales, the scheme to try and get you back into the workplace. The real
:11:20. > :11:23.battle ground will be about welfare reform because the Conservatives are
:11:24. > :11:28.tying it specifically to the economic recovery. In Wales Labour
:11:29. > :11:32.are saying it's a huge impediment to growth.
:11:33. > :11:35.Behind the headlines showing more people are working in Wales, recent
:11:36. > :11:38.figures from the Welsh Government illustrate that more than one in
:11:39. > :11:40.five 16 to 24-year-olds are unemployed. There are Welsh
:11:41. > :11:43.Government projects to try to get them into work but our economics
:11:44. > :11:46.correspondent Sarah Dickins explains a new radical approach to behaviour
:11:47. > :12:01.that its hoped will increase young people's chances of getting a job.
:12:02. > :12:03.Pupils talking about their feelings and hearing how their behaviour has
:12:04. > :12:08.affected others. That is at the heart of what is called a
:12:09. > :12:11.restorative approach. It is hoped it will result in fewer young people
:12:12. > :12:18.falling in the gap between education, Ed -- employment and
:12:19. > :12:21.training. We had very strict processes in place and if a child
:12:22. > :12:28.did a certain thing they would potentially be excluded. There was a
:12:29. > :12:33.cycle where their behaviour was not changing. Three years ago pupils at
:12:34. > :12:38.this Cardiff school were excluded for a total of 1000 days in a year.
:12:39. > :12:46.Now behaviour has improved so much it is down to a days. The pioneer of
:12:47. > :12:49.this approach in Wales is Andy Williams at Monmouth, offensive
:12:50. > :12:55.school who says if students feel more listened to behaviour will
:12:56. > :12:59.improve. They are starting to be able to articulate to other people
:13:00. > :13:09.their thoughts and peep Ealing 's in an appropriate way. -- feelings.
:13:10. > :13:13.Exclusions are down 91%. Referral to youth offending teams is down 70%
:13:14. > :13:18.and crime in the area is down 48%. Andy Williams argues this is an
:13:19. > :13:24.effective way of changing behaviour which will help students in the long
:13:25. > :13:28.term. Whatever job they do they will have to interact with people. That
:13:29. > :13:36.common humanity is very important. They will have to empathise with
:13:37. > :13:40.workmates from an older generation. They have to be able to interact
:13:41. > :13:44.with that. They have to understand and appreciate other people and be
:13:45. > :13:49.able to take the lead themselves. The police and crime commission of
:13:50. > :13:52.the Gwent is convinced. If you are excluded from school, what you are
:13:53. > :13:57.either going to do? You start doing the wrong things. Monmouth has shown
:13:58. > :14:05.it can work and the figures speak for themselves. Getting our young
:14:06. > :14:11.people ready for work is vital for our economy and also for them as
:14:12. > :14:15.individuals. In Wales at the moment about one in 516 to 24-year-olds are
:14:16. > :14:26.out of work and in Cardiff it is one in three. I am more confident in
:14:27. > :14:29.lessons. There is no move to extend this approach to more Welsh schools
:14:30. > :14:33.to help young people be better placed to join the workplace.
:14:34. > :14:36.Still to come in the programme: How scientists at Swansea University
:14:37. > :14:44.have been working with NASA satellites to get a better picture
:14:45. > :14:47.on climate change. The head of the National Crime
:14:48. > :14:50.Agency says he's confident more people will be arrested and charged
:14:51. > :14:53.in the investigation into allegations of historic child abuse
:14:54. > :14:57.in North Wales care homes. In its latest update, the Operation Pallial
:14:58. > :15:00.team says so far more that 250 alleged victims of abuse have come
:15:01. > :15:13.forward and 37 suspects have been identified. One man has been
:15:14. > :15:16.charged. Roger Pinney reports. BBC Wales was given unique access to
:15:17. > :15:24.the National crime agency had in Warrington. It is from here that
:15:25. > :15:27.Operation Pallial is being run. The agency is normally highly
:15:28. > :15:31.secretive. This most recent update gives an idea of the scale of what
:15:32. > :15:39.Operation Pallial is investigating. Offences being looked at data that
:15:40. > :15:44.in 1953. I am confident they will be further charges and arrests. We will
:15:45. > :15:49.pursue the truth and ensure we put the CPS and the best position
:15:50. > :15:53.possible to make prosecutions. The team says information from 212
:15:54. > :15:57.people is under investigation. There are 37 potential suspects. 19
:15:58. > :16:08.suspects have been arrested and interviewed. One man has been
:16:09. > :16:13.charged. Although they have been previous investigations, people were
:16:14. > :16:19.asked in the 90s whether they were victims of crime and they said no
:16:20. > :16:22.but that that time they might have had children and not wanted to talk
:16:23. > :16:26.about it. As the lights have gone on, they have wanted to talk about
:16:27. > :16:31.it. Perhaps it is a lack of understanding about the level of
:16:32. > :16:37.abuse that had occurred. We are much better these days at recognising
:16:38. > :16:46.what we need to do to ensure that we support people. Most of the key
:16:47. > :16:53.homes under investigation have now closed but some of the buildings are
:16:54. > :17:01.still there. They have been under the spotlight before not least
:17:02. > :17:05.during the Waterhouse enquiry. Operation Pallial insists it is
:17:06. > :17:09.different. And you can see more on this story
:17:10. > :17:13.on the Wales Report tonight at 10:35pm on BBC One Wales.
:17:14. > :17:17.Swansea Council has become the first in Wales to agree a 5% rise in
:17:18. > :17:20.council tax. The Welsh Local Government Association says it
:17:21. > :17:23.expects at least four others to increase their rates by the same
:17:24. > :17:25.amount. The Welsh Government has informally capped any council tax
:17:26. > :17:28.rises at 5%. Bridgend and Carmarthenshire councils have today
:17:29. > :17:36.agreed to raise their rates by nearly 5% as well.
:17:37. > :17:39.A further 700 pupils at a school in Llanelli are to be offered screening
:17:40. > :17:42.for Tuberculosis, after two previous testing sessions revealed six pupils
:17:43. > :17:45.and three staff had positive results. None are infectious, but
:17:46. > :17:52.the screening will be carried out as a precaution.
:17:53. > :17:56.Red tape's being blamed for Wales being the only part of the UK to see
:17:57. > :18:00.a drop in new houses being built. 12% fewer homes were registered here
:18:01. > :18:03.last year, that's compared to a rise of 28% in the UK overall. Here's our
:18:04. > :18:14.business correspondent, Brian Meechan.
:18:15. > :18:17.It has been a common complaint from developers. Overregulation and a
:18:18. > :18:21.poor planning system makes building houses in Wales are costly business.
:18:22. > :18:26.It may be why many have chosen not to. In 2013 the number of new homes
:18:27. > :18:32.rose 30% in England. There was a similar increase in Scotland.
:18:33. > :18:38.Northern Ireland saw a jump of 16%. Wales had a drop of 12% in a new
:18:39. > :18:44.homes since 2012. House-builders say the planning process here is long,
:18:45. > :18:52.expensive and uncertain. The primary impact is new housing and our
:18:53. > :18:58.housing stock in Wales is very old. The primary benefits are of course
:18:59. > :19:02.employment but there is a secondary benefit with the money that pumps
:19:03. > :19:07.into the local economy. This company is building a thousand new homes in
:19:08. > :19:16.Wales this year. It adds the Welsh Government 's help to buy scheme
:19:17. > :19:20.which helps people to buy is already boosting the market. Wales is in
:19:21. > :19:22.need of new housing stock. The demand is only going to increase in
:19:23. > :19:28.the future but it costs more to build here and wages are relatively
:19:29. > :19:31.low so that keeps prices down. That raises big questions for the
:19:32. > :19:35.businesses involved. If costs are low and prices are higher outside of
:19:36. > :19:39.Wales why wouldn't you build the instead? Ministers have met some of
:19:40. > :19:42.the industry 's concerns by producing energy efficiency targets
:19:43. > :20:00.but there are still complaints about other revelations. Personally I
:20:01. > :20:07.think they will go that way but they lobbying groups are not very
:20:08. > :20:12.powerful. We are trying to do something different. Rising demand
:20:13. > :20:18.and shortage of supply pushes up prices long-term. So the answers to
:20:19. > :20:22.the house-building questions are ones Wales has got to get right.
:20:23. > :20:25.Rugby, and one of Wales' most decorated players, Mike Phillips,
:20:26. > :20:28.has been dropped by Warren Gatland for Friday's Six Nations clash
:20:29. > :20:30.against France. The Wales management were disappointed with his
:20:31. > :20:33.indiscipline in the defeat against Ireland, where he was yellow-carded.
:20:34. > :20:36.He's been replaced by Ospreys scrum-half Rhys Webb, who'll start
:20:37. > :20:46.an international match for the first time. Ashleigh Crowter reports.
:20:47. > :20:51.It was this little cameo performance that seems to have sealed the deal
:20:52. > :20:56.for Rhys Webb. A try scoring run out for the Ospreys against Treviso on
:20:57. > :21:01.the weekend helped Warren Gatland make up his mind to changes from
:21:02. > :21:05.half. Mike Phillips has been at the heart of Wales' success in recent
:21:06. > :21:10.seasons but he did not help themselves against Ireland and has
:21:11. > :21:17.now paid the price. We were not particularly happy with his game
:21:18. > :21:22.against Ireland in -- and he got in a one-on-one confrontation with
:21:23. > :21:28.Conor Murray and got a yellow card. He had a spat with the referee as
:21:29. > :21:30.well. It is a good chance for Mike Phillips to have an opportunity to
:21:31. > :21:38.sit on the bench and the Rhys Webb to start. Warren Gatland did resist
:21:39. > :21:45.the temptation to partner Rhys Webb with his regional colleague Dan
:21:46. > :21:50.Biggar and Rhys Priestland will start. George North will start his
:21:51. > :21:57.first international at centre and Liam Williams slots in on the wing.
:21:58. > :22:00.To put the Welsh jersey on in any position is great. I have played
:22:01. > :22:06.there for Northampton. I have trained there as well. You could
:22:07. > :22:10.argue that a scrum-half is only as good as the ball provided for him by
:22:11. > :22:13.the forwards so there may be one or two especially in the pack feeling a
:22:14. > :22:17.bit guilty that it was Mike Phillips and not them who was dropped. With
:22:18. > :22:22.Gethin Jenkins coming through his match with a blues on Saturday the
:22:23. > :22:26.only changes the return of first choice lock Luke Charteris after
:22:27. > :22:30.injury. Apart from him it is the same eight who were outmuscled in
:22:31. > :22:33.Ireland. France are building seminar on them after two wins in the
:22:34. > :22:41.championship and they have only made one enforced change. It is going to

:22:51. > :22:54.Why does the Amazon Rainforest seem to grow greener during droughts? The
:22:55. > :22:57.answer lies in how the forest is photographed from Space. NASA

:23:04. > :23:12.Carwyn Jones reports, the real picture casts a very different light
:23:13. > :23:15.on climate change. Launched back in 1999, NASA's Terra
:23:16. > :23:21.satellite observes our planet's land, water and atmosphere from 500
:23:22. > :23:24.miles above earth. Its on board instruments record seasonal changes
:23:25. > :23:33.on the planet's surface and how those changes affect our climate.
:23:34. > :23:37.The technology on board is some of the most sophisticated ever designed
:23:38. > :23:40.by NASA but in one area of the world, it's thrown up more questions
:23:41. > :23:42.than answers. For the last ten years, scientists analysing images
:23:43. > :23:45.from Terra have noticed something unusual over the Amazon Rainforest.
:23:46. > :23:48.This is one of those satellite images and it appears to show that
:23:49. > :23:52.the rainforest actually grows greener in dry seasons and droughts
:23:53. > :23:56.when you'd expect vegetation to die back. NASA scientists realised that
:23:57. > :24:00.the images taken from space weren't a true picture of what has happening
:24:01. > :24:03.on the ground. So they turned to Swansea University for help. Experts
:24:04. > :24:08.here specialise in studying the earth using satellite data. They
:24:09. > :24:11.found that the greening up of the rain forest is an illusion. It's
:24:12. > :24:15.caused by sunlight hitting the ground and reflecting back to the
:24:16. > :24:22.satellite when it's focusing on the Amazon at a particular angle. When
:24:23. > :24:29.we look very carefully at this we find a lot of the greening can be
:24:30. > :24:34.explained by illumination. We are really seeing an optical illusion.
:24:35. > :24:37.For years, scientists have been trying to understand why this
:24:38. > :24:41.ecosystem, which is so dependent on rainfall, would appear healthier
:24:42. > :24:44.during periods of drought. The answer is, it doesn't, and that has
:24:45. > :24:54.very real implications for climate change. It had been assumed that the
:24:55. > :25:02.Amazon rainforest was mopping up some of the carbon dioxide we were
:25:03. > :25:05.releasing but it's not true the -- and that is bad news. That means
:25:06. > :25:10.that carbon dioxide will cause increased warming. The last few
:25:11. > :25:12.weeks have seen extreme weather conditions hit countries around the
:25:13. > :25:15.world, from snowstorms in North America to flooding closer to home.
:25:16. > :25:18.The collaboration between Swansea University and NASA casts doubt on
:25:19. > :25:22.how we've been analysing images of our planet taken from space The true
:25:23. > :25:25.picture on the ground could be very different.
:25:26. > :25:27.Well Derek's been doing his own bit of satellite research. How is the
:25:28. > :25:39.forecast looking, Derek? The weather is on the change tonight
:25:40. > :25:42.with more rain. The wind picking-up as well. We're not expecting a huge
:25:43. > :25:46.amount of rain. Typically 5mm to 10mm, although parts of the south
:25:47. > :25:50.could see up to 20mm. Just under an inch. Tomorrow the rain will clear

:25:55. > :25:57.quite mild again today. 12C in Newtown, Rhyl and Wrexham. This
:25:58. > :26:00.evening, a warm front will bring outbreaks of rain and drizzle. The

:26:08. > :26:10.mild night. The temperature not falling below 7C. The chart for
:26:11. > :26:14.tomorrow shows a cold front moving east across Britain. This will bring
:26:15. > :26:17.a spell of rain followed by colder air and showers. By 8.00am in the
:26:18. > :26:21.morning, most of the rain should have cleared leaving most places dry
:26:22. > :26:25.apart from one or two showers. Windy on the coast. Strong to gale force
:26:26. > :26:28.winds in the north west. During the day it will brighten-up. Some dry
:26:29. > :26:31.weather and sunshine in the afternoon but with showers as well.
:26:32. > :26:34.Heavy in places. Top temperatures, 9C to 11C. The wind easing and
