Good evening. Wales is being hit hard by steeper council tax rises | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
than other parts of the UK, according to the Welsh | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Conservatives. But the Welsh government insists the bills remain | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
lower here than in England and have called on councils to be reasonable. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
Budgets are under pressure and there are clubs all-round, except for | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
council tax... Council taxpayers will pay ?42 per year more on | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
average from April. That is because local authorities have set an | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
average tax rise of 4.2%. Compare that with England with the average | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
rise is 0.6%. By the end of February, 231 councils | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
in England had already signed up to the tax freeze in England, the | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Scottish Government have announced its seventh year of tax freezes, yet | :01:07. | :01:12. | |

in England, about ?230. We do have a lower level of council tax than | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
England. Council leaders say they face an extremely difficult set of | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
circumstances thanks to cuts in Westminster and a Welsh government | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
decision to protect funding for the NHS. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
All councils will increase their tax rate by at least 3%. Four of them | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
will rise by 5%. As the maximum Welsh government has previously | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
allowed. I have said if any of them are | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
reasonable and will use my capping powers. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Lesley Griffiths also wants councils to be transparent when setting | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
senior officers' a. The public is ready to be interested in big | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
salaries, she says. It seems every penny going in and out of county | :02:05. | :02:09. | |

Health board managers have insisted an overhaul of services is | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
necessary. If I suffer another heart failure | :02:36. | :02:40. | |

Golden are gone, 75% of my chance of living disappeared because they want | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
to save money. Rugby, and Wales' hopes of a third | :02:51. | :02:53. | |

Twickenham England's first try. Leigh Halfpenny capped Wales in | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
touch, matching Owen Farrell kick for kick. A poor Welsh line-out and | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
was eventually punished. In the second half, Leigh Halfpenny's but | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
went into the break only five points behind. The second half was much the | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
same as the first, but Wales could not but meaningful combinations | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
together to threaten the England line. A record equalling 104th Wales | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
cap for Jenkins was ended with a trip to the Senden as Farrell kept | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
the scoreboard ticking over towards England's when. Leigh Halfpenny's | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
last-ditch tackle stopped the last England try, but in doing so he | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
dislocated his shoulder, ending his season. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
