Good evening. It's been claimed the number of | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
people in Wales whose job-seeker's Allowance has been stopped has more | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
than tripled over the past ten years. A Glasgow University academic | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
claims more than 40,000 people a year have been affected. Meanwhile a | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
BBC poll suggests 45% year have been affected. Meanwhile a | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
voters want the UK government to be tougher on benefit claimants. Our | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
political reporter Daniel Davies has more. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Welfare reform has sparked heated debate among politicians. So what do | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Welsh voters think? Our St David's Day poll found 45% thought the UK | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
government was not being tough enough and more should be done to | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
force benefit claimants into work. Welsh voters think? Our St David's | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Day poll found 45% thought the 27% said the Government was being too | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
tough, saying most claimants would work if they could. And 22% said the | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
current policy was about right. On the streets of Bridgend today, | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
there were strong views. You feel pressure because there is the idea | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
that you are scum and not everybody is. There are people doing at but | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
there are people like myself also. I work for a homeless charity and see | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
people who really, really need that money and they cannot get it. Other | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
people seem to be able to get it without even trying. The more people | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
we get into work the better. It will bring more jobs to this area and | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
that would be better. I definitely think people should not be given | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
anything so easily. Give us a fair deal on unemployment and effort and | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the benefits system because I would like to see a government minister | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
goal one month on implement benefit and see how they like it. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
And support for welfare reform isn't confined to the two parties that | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
make up the Westminster coalition government. Not just among | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
conservative supporters but even among supporters of the Labour Party | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and supporters of Plaid Cymru, quite a lot of endorsement for policies on | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
benefit and people suggesting that cutbacks or measures against those | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
claiming benefits should be taken further. | :02:17. | :02:17. | |
Supporters of the coalition say Wales needs welfare reform as badly | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
as anywhere in the UK. We have seen in Wales generations of families | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
that have been trapped in the welfare system but because of the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
waiters structured it is nigh on impossible for them to take the risk | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
of taking on work to be able to get out of that system because work will | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
not pay for them. And what people want is a fairer system that looks | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
after people but need help Including pensions, more than ?9 billion a | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
year are spent on benefits in Wales. To stop Chancellor George Osborne | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
says more cuts are needed. It'll be his turn to ask your | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
opinion at the general election next year. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
Two of Wales' four police and crime commissioners have taken opposing | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
views on whether policing powers should be devolved. The Silk | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Commission is expected to call for the Welsh government to take over | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
responsibility in a report tomorrow. North Wales' | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
responsibility in a report tomorrow. Rodick says the move is necessary | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
unless there are good operational reasons against it. But Dyfed-Powys' | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
commissioner Christopher Salmon says it will do nothing to cut crime. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
A man has died after an off-road vehicle toppled down a hill in | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Flintshire. The incident, involving a Land Rover, happened at Moel Llys | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
y Coed, near Mold, early this morning. North Wales Police say no | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
other vehicles are thought to be involved. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Today's football now. And as Match of the Day follows our bulletin, if | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
you want to avoid the results leave the room now. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |

A Jonathan De Guzman goal gave the Swans a But Crystal Palace scored an | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
equaliser in the 82nd minute for a 1-1 draw. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
And Cardiff lost by a goal to nil to Tottenham at White hart lane. They | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
have now lost their last seven games away from home. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
have now lost their last seven games Snooker. And World Champion Ronnie | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
O'Sullivan made a maximum 147 break in the final frame of the match to | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
win the Welsh Open in Newport. After a dominant first session, he beat | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
China's Ding Jungwee 9-3 to win the championship and ?72,000. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
Let's take a look at the weather forecast for Wales. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
With the details, here's Sara Thornton. Good evening. We have some | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
heavier showers to come tomorrow. In fact, we will also be watching out | :04:32. | :04:34. | |

Good night. Good evening. After all of the rain | :04:59. | :05:12. | |
today, a chilly night on the way. Cold enough for some ice across | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and all the way down as far south as | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Wales and parts of the Midlands too. This is the thrust of the rain. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
The skies clear and there's the | :05:28. | :05:28. |
