:00:11. > :00:14.Good evening. Construction workers could be at risk because of a fall
:00:15. > :00:20.in the number of inspections being made to building sites. That's
:00:21. > :00:23.according to a union. Figures obtained by BBC Wales show spot
:00:24. > :00:27.checks by the Health and Safety Executive were down more than a
:00:28. > :00:33.third in the last financial year. Sachin Krishnan reports.
:00:34. > :00:38.The construction industry employs close to 90,000 people across Wales
:00:39. > :00:41.and spot checks on building sites are seen as a way of keeping
:00:42. > :00:50.employers on their toes. The Health and Safety Executive made 529
:00:51. > :00:57.inspections in the last financial year but that is down from more than
:00:58. > :01:01.800 the year before. It has prompted one union to say it fears rogue
:01:02. > :01:06.builders will have licence to operate outside of the rules.
:01:07. > :01:10.Another union, the Federation of Master Builders, says a licensing
:01:11. > :01:20.system is needed to keep employees in check. There is nothing stopping
:01:21. > :01:25.my grandmother setting up as a builder, and making alterations to
:01:26. > :01:29.People's house. In the first instance, there is nothing stopping
:01:30. > :01:33.from doing that. In our opinion, that is not right. The Health and
:01:34. > :01:36.Safety Executive say their inspections have become more
:01:37. > :01:45.targeted and smarter and the number of accidents has been reduced. With
:01:46. > :01:48.budgets tighter, the age of bank it investigations is over.
:01:49. > :01:52.Up to 50 homes were evacuated in Merthyr Tydfil earlier, after the
:01:53. > :01:55.discovery of a suspect device in the street. South Wales Police cordoned
:01:56. > :01:58.off an area around Heol Tai Mawr in Gellideg, just after 1pm. Roads in
:01:59. > :02:01.the area were closed, with residents moved to Aberfan leisure centre.
:02:02. > :02:03.Bomb disposal teams have now left the scene.
:02:04. > :02:06.Special prayers will be held tomorrow morning at a Catholic
:02:07. > :02:10.church in Pontyberem for Eliza-Mae Mullane, the six-day-old baby girl
:02:11. > :02:12.who died at her home in the village on Tuesday. Dyfed-Powys Police
:02:13. > :02:17.seized the family's Alaskan Malamute dog after her death. They've
:02:18. > :02:22.described it as a sensitive inquiry, which could take some time.
:02:23. > :02:26.Two men who ransacked the home of Swansea City's head coach Garry Monk
:02:27. > :02:31.during a crime spree of more than 30 burglaries are beginning jail terms
:02:32. > :02:34.totalling ten years. Ben Llewellyn, and James Green, who are both from
:02:35. > :02:41.Morriston, admitted offences dating back to 2002. Monk's home in Killay
:02:42. > :02:51.was raided in November last year while he was recovering from knee
:02:52. > :02:54.surgery. It's been another bad day for
:02:55. > :02:58.Cardiff City. They're still one place from the bottom of the Premier
:02:59. > :03:01.League after being thrashed 4-0 at home against Hull City. The result,
:03:02. > :03:05.against one of the other teams near the foot of the table, is a blow to
:03:06. > :03:12.the Bluebirds' chances of avoiding relegation. You cannot find any
:03:13. > :03:17.positives when you lose 4-0 against a team that is as about the same
:03:18. > :03:23.position as you, especially when we dominated, created chances. These
:03:24. > :03:26.other games need points for. Elsewhere today, Newport County were
:03:27. > :03:30.beaten 1-0 at home by Cheltenham in League Two. And, in the Conference,
:03:31. > :03:32.it was the same for Wrexham, who were beaten 1-0 by Barnet at the
:03:33. > :03:36.Racecourse. On to rugby and there was one match
:03:37. > :03:39.today in the Pro12. With many of their star players away on Six
