:00:18. > :00:28.Good evening. More than 200 jobs are set to be lost in a double jobs

:00:29. > :00:31.blow. 123 posts are expected to go from the Orb Electrical Steelworks

:00:32. > :00:34.in Newport. The company blames falling demand for the type of steel

:00:35. > :00:38.products they make. In Cardiff, 105 jobs could be lost at the Department

:00:39. > :00:48.for Work and Pensions. Caroline Evans reports. It is a new -- new

:00:49. > :00:50.board 's oldest and biggest employers but this afternoon the

:00:51. > :00:58.steelworkers here were told around a quarter of the workforce must go.

:00:59. > :01:06.Nothing is definitely happened yet but I was meant to go to a meeting,

:01:07. > :01:10.and I will see what happens. All the contractors will have to go before

:01:11. > :01:15.the bodies on floor. The company has a long history here and it makes

:01:16. > :01:19.electrical steel for the energy industry. It blames reduced demand

:01:20. > :01:24.for products saying that in Europe it is 20% lower than in 2008. At the

:01:25. > :01:31.same time, imports into Europe from other countries have grown. But

:01:32. > :01:33.energy prices are also being held up as responsible, and the union here

:01:34. > :01:43.is calling on the UK government to step in. The UK government need to

:01:44. > :01:49.start acting in the interest of the steel industry. What do you need

:01:50. > :01:55.them to do? They have do look at what they can do the companies in

:01:56. > :02:02.producing cheaper prices for us to survive. The local MP agrees. The

:02:03. > :02:06.government has done a bit, but more help in terms of energy costs,

:02:07. > :02:12.because steel producers in the UK are paying 38% more for their

:02:13. > :02:17.electricity than France, and 57% more in Germany, so it's a big extra

:02:18. > :02:22.cost that the industry in the UK is paying that other competitors are

:02:23. > :02:25.not. Councillor Alan Morris told me his father used to work here. He

:02:26. > :02:31.said the company had been a mainstay of Newport and this is a bitter

:02:32. > :02:35.blow. Once again it's one step forward, two steps back. We here we

:02:36. > :02:38.are coming out of the recession but what we see and what we here are two

:02:39. > :02:43.different things. I feel sorry for our youngsters. Their future is not

:02:44. > :02:47.as bright as my future was. Just a few years ago there were five or six

:02:48. > :02:51.steelworks in this very area. Everybody in their area, their

:02:52. > :02:58.families to work here. There was more bad Jews -- man -- bad news on

:02:59. > :03:00.jobs. The Department of work and pensions in Cardiff said more jobs

:03:01. > :03:07.would go, and the Cardiff office will close. There is at least no

:03:08. > :03:09.talk of closure back in Newport. The company said its decision today

:03:10. > :03:10.should help secure future production here.

:03:11. > :03:17.A woman in her 30s has been rescued after falling around 100 metres on

:03:18. > :03:21.Snowdon. Llanberis Mountain Rescue said it took about five and a half

:03:22. > :03:24.hours to airlift the woman, who's from the London area, to Ysbyty

:03:25. > :03:26.Gwynedd. She is believed to have suffered pelvic injuries.

:03:27. > :03:31.Two dogs have been destroyed after the death of a six-day-old baby girl

:03:32. > :03:36.from Carmarthenshire last month. Eliza-Mae Mullane, from Pontyberem,

:03:37. > :03:39.died at her home in New Road. Dyfed Powys police has confirmed two

:03:40. > :03:43.family dogs, an Alaskan Malamute and a Collie-cross, have been put down.

:03:44. > :03:46.Forensic tests of the family home have been completed and the

:03:47. > :03:54.investigation has been passed to the coroner. The number of people coming

:03:55. > :03:56.to live in Wales from outside the UK has increased by 82% in ten years.

:03:57. > :04:00.Oxford University analysed population data between 2001 and

:04:01. > :04:02.2011. It shows that around 5% of the population living here are

:04:03. > :04:04.foreign-born, although this is a far smaller proportion than in England,

:04:05. > :04:11.Scotland and Northern Ireland. Merthyr Tydfil saw the second

:04:12. > :04:13.largest increase in its migrant population in the UK with many of

:04:14. > :04:27.the people coming from Poland. It is a nice town here. What about

:04:28. > :04:33.the people and the community? It's all right. It's not bad. I don't

:04:34. > :04:38.have a problem with people. It's always been a multicultural society,

:04:39. > :04:45.hasn't it? The Polish people I know are nice. It's all right for them to

:04:46. > :04:49.have somewhere to go but they are taking our jobs and homes. Next

:04:50. > :04:52.year, fans from across the world will be visiting Wales and England

:04:53. > :04:55.for the Rugby World Cup. The Millennium Stadium is hosting eight

:04:56. > :04:59.matches, but there are fears that some supporters could be forced to

:05:00. > :05:02.pay over the odds for tickets. A Welsh MP has called for legislation

:05:03. > :05:03.to limit the re-selling of tickets by touts or on websites. Sachin

:05:04. > :05:12.Krishnan reports. Wales rugby fans will go into the

:05:13. > :05:16.World Cup next year optimistic their side can do well, and many will want

:05:17. > :05:19.to attend the match is being staged across England as well as at the

:05:20. > :05:25.millennium Stadium. -- that are being staged. In the past, this was

:05:26. > :05:28.the only way of getting hold of tickets for solar games, touts

:05:29. > :05:33.selling them on the street corner. Now the marketplace has moved online

:05:34. > :05:38.with websites specialising in reselling. Legislation before the

:05:39. > :05:44.Olympics cracks down on profits made from the games, and Nick Smith wants

:05:45. > :05:51.the 2015 World Cup. Unfortunately, all too often, the true fans don't

:05:52. > :05:57.stand a chance. Touts have evoked -- evolve from blokes in sheepskins

:05:58. > :06:00.jackets outside stadiums, now they are a sophisticated group,

:06:01. > :06:06.harvesting thousands of tickets just seconds after they go on sale. The

:06:07. > :06:09.law is limited in preventing tickets from being sold at a higher price,

:06:10. > :06:13.and just a quick search online and you can see just how much resellers

:06:14. > :06:20.can command. Next year's World Cup match between Wales and England see

:06:21. > :06:24.prices ranging from ?75 up to ?315 for adults. But on one of the bigger

:06:25. > :06:30.websites, the same tickets this afternoon were on resale from ?545,

:06:31. > :06:34.to more than ?2000. The company told me that few of those high-priced

:06:35. > :06:40.tickets are sold, but limiting prices is not a solution. The

:06:41. > :06:44.problem with price caps is that people will revert to using the

:06:45. > :06:49.black market, selling these tickets outside the stadiums and on

:06:50. > :06:52.classified adverts where no customer protection exists. We exist to

:06:53. > :06:56.provide that customer protection. What we have found is that when you

:06:57. > :07:00.make things more difficult for people to resell on the secure

:07:01. > :07:06.marketplaces, they revert to using the un-secure places like stadiums

:07:07. > :07:11.and car parks. But one former manager says the World Cup should be

:07:12. > :07:14.a reselling and tout free event. We get visitors from all around the

:07:15. > :07:17.world to England and Wales, and when they get here, and are faced with

:07:18. > :07:22.the situation where they are asked to pay ridiculous prices. It's not

:07:23. > :07:25.right in principle. A lack of parliamentary time means Nick

:07:26. > :07:28.Smith's bill has little chance of becoming law but he hopes by raising

:07:29. > :07:30.the issue that changes will be made so fans are not priced out of the

:07:31. > :07:37.World Cup. Football, and Swansea City skipper

:07:38. > :07:39.Ashley Williams is fit to captain Wales against Iceland, at the

:07:40. > :07:43.Cardiff City Stadium tomorrow after recovering from a stomach bug that's

:07:44. > :07:46.hit the Swansea squad. Gareth Bale will also play, but midfielder Joe

:07:47. > :07:48.Ledley is missing with a hip problem.

:07:49. > :07:51.In other football news, Newport County drew 0-0 with Fleetwood Town

:07:52. > :07:56.in their League Two match at Rodney Parade tonight. Let's get the

:07:57. > :08:00.weather forecast for Wales. Here's Sue Charles.

:08:01. > :08:07.Good evening. We are into March and meteorological spring, the weather

:08:08. > :08:11.feels more like spring. Tomorrow is mostly dry with some bright spells.

:08:12. > :08:16.Tonight is largely dry, clearing skies overnight allowing frost to

:08:17. > :08:19.form inland. Icy stretches and temperatures hovering around

:08:20. > :08:23.freezing along the marches, so a cold start and a few early mist and

:08:24. > :08:28.fog patches. Some sunshine developing further east, but across

:08:29. > :08:31.the UK, North West and South East split. A friend brings patchy rain

:08:32. > :08:36.across Northern Ireland and Scotland, but high pressure in the

:08:37. > :08:44.south-east allows largely fine unsettled weather -- a friend

:08:45. > :08:47.brings. Milder conditions at 13 Celsius in London. The cloud will

:08:48. > :08:50.push on across Wales through the afternoon, and it could be thick

:08:51. > :08:53.enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle. Otherwise, dry and slightly

:08:54. > :08:59.milder with top temperatures between eight and 10 Celsius. Late Wednesday

:09:00. > :09:04.into Thursday, the frontal wave in the North West could bring thick

:09:05. > :09:08.clouds, but high-pressure builds further south, trying to keep things

:09:09. > :09:12.more settled, so Thursdays cloudier, and there is some light rain,

:09:13. > :09:16.especially in the north and west. A bit drier with some brightness

:09:17. > :09:19.further east, and the winds pick up lightly but draw in warmer

:09:20. > :09:24.south-westerly air and temperatures are back in double figures, between

:09:25. > :09:27.ten and 13 Celsius. On Friday, the low pressure system could bring some

:09:28. > :09:32.rain later on, especially further west, but as it clears north,

:09:33. > :09:38.high-pressure dominates from the south-east and it looks like this

:09:39. > :09:43.whirl will go through, and keep it fine unsettled. The rest of the

:09:44. > :09:46.week, often cloudy, from brightness, light rain on Thursday

:09:47. > :09:47.and Friday and it looks like the more springlike weather should last

:09:48. > :09:53.into the weekend. Why does it take so long to sack

:09:54. > :09:57.under-performing teachers? Week In, Week Out investigates next. Thank
