:01:19. > :01:21.ago to teachers that pupils would not be disadvantaged by the
:01:22. > :01:25.introduction of new English language GCSE exams. Teachers from 100
:01:26. > :01:28.schools have expressed anger at unexpectedly low results received by
:01:29. > :01:33.pupils who sat the new English GCSE in January. They say it's left
:01:34. > :01:42.pupils, parents and teachers distraught. Here's our education
:01:43. > :01:45.correspondent, Arwyn Jones. When we first revealed concerns
:01:46. > :01:52.about January 's disappointing exam results last week teachers at the
:01:53. > :01:55.school were among the first to share their concerns. A week on and they
:01:56. > :02:00.are still none the wiser about what went wrong. Teachers are in a good
:02:01. > :02:05.position to judge the standards of English in the classroom and the
:02:06. > :02:08.performances of pupils. We will compare students over a period of
:02:09. > :02:12.years, we will track their performance. The professional
:02:13. > :02:16.judgement of teachers is what we relying on when he gets pupils
:02:17. > :02:21.ready. The big change here is in the results. That has changed. He is one
:02:22. > :02:33.of 100 head teachers who have given union -- evidence to their unions.
:02:34. > :02:36.Over 100 schools have been entered to express their detailed
:02:37. > :02:41.frustration, concern and confusion. Amongst the hundred, not a single
:02:42. > :02:48.one of them have said they are concerned about the art, the
:02:49. > :02:52.challenge being raised for their students. Every single one of them
:02:53. > :02:57.almost has said we don't know where the bar has been set. These exams
:02:58. > :03:02.were marked differently with more emphasis on spelling and grammar.
:03:03. > :03:04.Teachers had sought and got assurances from the Bush government
:03:05. > :03:15.about the changes well over a year ago. -- the Welsh Government. The
:03:16. > :03:18.BBC has seen a letter who was addressing concerns by teachers
:03:19. > :03:23.about the interdiction of the new guidelines. He acknowledged steps
:03:24. > :03:26.had been taken with regard to the interdiction of the new
:03:27. > :03:30.qualifications were an usual and unsettling. Before adding, he would
:03:31. > :03:35.have liked that he will revised qualifications were available to
:03:36. > :03:39.schools for the start of the year but these were exceptional
:03:40. > :03:43.circumstances. The letter concludes, the Welsh Government will be closely
:03:44. > :03:45.monitoring the interdiction, delivery and awarding of this new
:03:46. > :03:53.qualification to ensure that learners are not in Filey advantaged
:03:54. > :03:56.or disadvantage. -- unfairly. This is an example of the failure of the
:03:57. > :04:01.Welsh Labour government to get a grip on education. Isn't it awful
:04:02. > :04:06.that for the second year running we have a cohort of rubles who are
:04:07. > :04:12.having the results they did not expect. -- cohort of pupils. We
:04:13. > :04:17.asked the Education Minister for an interview and we were told Huw Lewis
:04:18. > :04:22.would only do interviews was the worst governments's review reports
:04:23. > :04:25.back to him at the end of the month. -- the Welsh Government. There is no
:04:26. > :04:30.denying that have been some important issues across Wales which
:04:31. > :04:35.need to be addressed but the impact is not severe across all schools.
:04:36. > :04:39.Jenni Lees English language exams were unique to Wales for the first
:04:40. > :04:43.time. It was meant to be a way of avoiding the regrading fiasco we saw
:04:44. > :04:47.18 months ago. The pupils and teachers across Wales asked to
:04:48. > :04:52.coming to terms with why the results were so much lower than expected.
:04:53. > :04:56.So, thousands have sat the exam but what was in it and where have pupils
:04:57. > :05:00.lost marks? We sent Caroline Evans back to school to take a look at the
:05:01. > :05:08.paper and ask teachers and pupils what they think went wrong.
:05:09. > :05:13.This is catered for students you would expect to get a EC trade or
:05:14. > :05:20.lower. This is the higher paper for pupils you would expect to get a sea
:05:21. > :05:29.grade or higher. 120 U-boats were put in for the language GCSE exam
:05:30. > :05:33.here. Only 19% got a secret rebel. He told me where it went wrong. You
:05:34. > :05:38.can see that is an extract here for the students to read and there are
:05:39. > :05:44.three questions, 310 mark questions for that answer. The expected to
:05:45. > :05:52.spend approximately an hour reading and answering these questions so
:05:53. > :05:57.these are extended answer questions. Is this a new type of paper? Not
:05:58. > :06:02.really. The whole format is similar to the former we moved away from
:06:03. > :06:07.about four years ago. It is only the questions and the wording that are
:06:08. > :06:10.what we would expect them to be. You feel you have been able to prepare
:06:11. > :06:15.their students for this because it isn't a surprise. Where has the
:06:16. > :06:21.failure happened? It is difficult to answer that question. We don't know.
:06:22. > :06:26.The moderators report doesn't leave me any guidance as to where we have
:06:27. > :06:31.gone wrong or not just us, the whole of Wales aims to have in struggling
:06:32. > :06:34.with the same question. It is nothing new under paper, there is
:06:35. > :06:40.nothing new in the moderators report. We have prepared students
:06:41. > :06:50.for this pile of exam for years. Bash for this style. -- for this
:06:51. > :06:55.style of exam for years. The 11th arrived English. Some were predicted
:06:56. > :07:00.a grades but came out with the grades. They told me they feel their
:07:01. > :07:06.futures are being thrown away. I am demotivated. You don't want to do
:07:07. > :07:12.the exam because you think you are going to fail. It has taken away the
:07:13. > :07:16.grades we should have had. Everyone is telling us we need to do better
:07:17. > :07:23.but when we do better they are not better still. To do English language
:07:24. > :07:26.at a level still and if I get a low-grade and was able to do of
:07:27. > :07:31.course. That affect my future because it will affect my future
:07:32. > :07:34.prospects. They are revising verbs. The waiting to see Derek some papers
:07:35. > :07:44.that they can find out what went wrong. Until then, they say no one
:07:45. > :07:51.can really move on. Our dedication corresponded joins us now. --
:07:52. > :07:55.education correspondence. We are no closer to finding out what went
:07:56. > :07:59.wrong. Teachers say they weren't told enough about the changes. They
:08:00. > :08:03.say we were given assurances by the Welsh Government that pupils would
:08:04. > :08:10.not be at a disadvantage because of the changes. The education Minister
:08:11. > :08:14.says one of two things. Firstly, wait for my review to come out at
:08:15. > :08:18.the end of the month before making any accusations. Secondly, he throws
:08:19. > :08:26.it acts to the teachers and headteachers. -- he throws it back.
:08:27. > :08:29.More and more headteachers are coming out and expressing their
:08:30. > :08:33.concerns. It is a stalemate because we don't know what went wrong and
:08:34. > :08:38.until these two reports come back we won't know. The exam board have
:08:39. > :08:42.reports coming back, hopefully next week. In the world 's governments's
:08:43. > :08:50.reports coming back at the end of the month. There is concern about
:08:51. > :08:56.the subjects. Teachers and parents have been getting Internet asking
:08:57. > :09:02.for other subjects. Nothing else will change over the summer. It is
:09:03. > :09:05.worth bearing in mind that as of last year for courses like history
:09:06. > :09:13.and religious education, spelling and grammar discount 5%. That won't
:09:14. > :09:15.be new this year, for parents and pupils the need not worried about
:09:16. > :09:18.that element. Earlier this week he criticised his
:09:19. > :09:21.party's leader, now he's been sacked. Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas has
:09:22. > :09:23.been fired as Plaid Cymru's transport spokesman and as chair of
:09:24. > :09:28.the Assembly's Environment Committee. It comes after he
:09:29. > :09:33.criticised the leadership for its attack on the UK Independence Party.
:09:34. > :09:42.Our political editor Nick Servini has been following developments.
:09:43. > :09:48.This all goes back to Friday when the Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood
:09:49. > :09:52.made a direct attack on UK sailing a vote for UKIP in the European
:09:53. > :09:57.elections would be a vote against Wales and against the Welsh national
:09:58. > :10:02.interest. The day after that, Dafydd Elis-Thomas describe the mode of
:10:03. > :10:08.that attack is facile and that UKIP deserve to be treated more seriously
:10:09. > :10:11.than it was by the party leadership are stuck at the time that criticism
:10:12. > :10:16.was stripped away but clearly the leadership of taken it very
:10:17. > :10:25.seriously. Lord Elis-Thomas jointly. As a matter of your political
:10:26. > :10:27.experience, you surely can't be surprised you have been sacked for
:10:28. > :10:36.criticising your leader in one of her pics each is? What concerned me
:10:37. > :10:43.was the word then Welsh which appeared in a press release that day
:10:44. > :10:50.before. I have got no support nor patience for UKIP, I am a strong
:10:51. > :10:53.European. But we need to look to how we elect chairs of committees for
:10:54. > :10:58.the Assembly because they are currently in a lift of party groups.
:10:59. > :11:04.In Westminster they are elected by secret wallets. It is the intention
:11:05. > :11:10.of the party to strip you of the chair of the environment committee.
:11:11. > :11:14.In terms of the party and that criticism of UKIP, I spoke to a
:11:15. > :11:17.number of European candidates and they just believed a vote for UKIP
:11:18. > :11:30.is against the Welsh national interest. I don't mind that
:11:31. > :11:36.expression, but I do not like the expression un-Welsh. Has Plaid Cymru
:11:37. > :11:53.got a problem with defining Welsh and is? -- Welshness? I don't
:11:54. > :11:58.understand what this issue is. Young people talked about the mixed
:11:59. > :12:04.identities they had. They can be was, British, they can be Welsh and
:12:05. > :12:10.European, this is not an issue. Identity is not an issue, I don't
:12:11. > :12:22.leave in -- I believe international politics. Are you going to challenge
:12:23. > :12:26.that? It is the vote in a Assembly. I shall consider over the weekend
:12:27. > :12:31.whether I should object. I don't want to waste the Assembly is time
:12:32. > :12:35.to stop I went to see if we can have a real independence for chairs of
:12:36. > :12:39.committees. Back to you in the studio.
:12:40. > :12:42.The trial of the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons,
:12:43. > :12:47.Nigel Evans, has been hearing from one man who says he woke up to find
:12:48. > :12:50.the MP's hands all over him. He claims he was assaulted by the
:12:51. > :12:55.Swansea-born MP while he slept on a sofa. The man said he wasn't keen on
:12:56. > :12:58.reporting the incident at the time. Mr Evans denies all the charges
:12:59. > :13:00.against him. A church minister from
:13:01. > :13:04.Carmarthenshire has been charged over an allegation of historical
:13:05. > :13:06.child abuse. 82-year-old Gwyn Ieuan Morgan will appear in court next
:13:07. > :13:15.month accused of indecently assaulting a boy aged under 14. He's
:13:16. > :13:17.been suspended from his two chapels. Helping scientists discover new
:13:18. > :13:23.medicines and develop green energy, those are the aims of new research
:13:24. > :13:26.networks set up today. The Welsh Government hopes it will help the
:13:27. > :13:40.quality of scientific research here. It's investing ?21 million into the
:13:41. > :13:44.project. There is concern tonight over 400 jobs at the Land Registry
:13:45. > :13:47.in Swansea. The PCS Union won't rule out going
:13:48. > :13:55.on strike over UK Government proposals to part privatise the Land
:13:56. > :14:02.Registry. Land Registry have kept records of property ownership since
:14:03. > :14:05.1862. It is information on 23 million properties and it is all
:14:06. > :14:10.available to the public. Land Registry as part of the UK
:14:11. > :14:15.governments's Department for business, innovation and skills. It
:14:16. > :14:21.is self funding. When a house is sold in new ownership needs to be
:14:22. > :14:25.recorded, it makes money that way. But the UK Government is examining
:14:26. > :14:29.options to part privatise the organisation. That is raised
:14:30. > :14:34.concerns in Swansea where more than 400 and 30p will work in Land
:14:35. > :14:40.Registry's Wales office. This woman is one of them. It is a difficult
:14:41. > :14:46.and stressful time for people here. We're not knowing what is going on
:14:47. > :14:49.with jobs. With the ongoing government consultation into the
:14:50. > :14:53.future of the Land Registry, and how that is going to pan out. The
:14:54. > :14:58.proposal is to introduce a new service. In Egypt eight in
:14:59. > :15:11.Westminster, the business minister said it was government policy. -- in
:15:12. > :15:17.a debate in Westminster. If it ain't broke, why are we fixing it? It is
:15:18. > :15:22.highly respected. Even the legal profession is saying this is a step
:15:23. > :15:28.too far. Land Registry provides an essential service for estate agent.
:15:29. > :15:33.They say any private company that steps" have to maintain the current
:15:34. > :15:38.standards. Although the wonder if any changes necessary. As far as we
:15:39. > :15:45.are concerned, there is no change needed. The information provided is
:15:46. > :15:50.always accurate. I think the costs are going down in the next few
:15:51. > :15:55.months, so we're quite happy with it as it is. A consultation period into
:15:56. > :16:01.the future of Land Registry is used to end next week. The business
:16:02. > :16:05.department says no decision will be taken until all responses have been
:16:06. > :16:07.considered and it is impossible to fully understand the impact on staff
:16:08. > :16:10.until then. Still ahead tonight: Mike Phillips

:16:15. > :16:18.face Scotland. Are you a member of a sports club?
:16:19. > :16:26.More of us are joining but there's concern tonight over wider
:16:27. > :16:29.participation levels. Some parents are being denied access
:16:30. > :16:33.to justice in the family courts because of changes to the legal aid
:16:34. > :16:37.system. That's according to the Law Society. BBC Wales has spoken to one
:16:38. > :16:41.woman who had to represent herself in court against experienced
:16:42. > :16:45.solicitors following the changes. Paul Heaney reports.
:16:46. > :16:49.Barristers protesting about cuts to free legal help for those who can't
:16:50. > :16:54.afford it and potentially fewer clients for them. This was about
:16:55. > :16:58.legal aid for criminal cases, but the UK Government's reforms are
:16:59. > :17:03.having an impact on civil and family cases too. Back in Wales, this woman
:17:04. > :17:08.is fighting to keep custody of her child. She spoke to me anonymously
:17:09. > :17:10.to protect the child's identity. She's representing herself in the
:17:11. > :17:20.family court up against an experienced solicitor.
:17:21. > :17:23.Everything was all emotions. I had to come to a point in myself
:17:24. > :17:28.thinking, sort herself out and do your best on that day. Whatever is
:17:29. > :17:31.going to happen is going to happen because there is nothing else I can
:17:32. > :17:36.do. It is frightening, not worrying, Fry them. -- frightening.
:17:37. > :17:40.Family courts decide who should look after children in custody disputes.
:17:41. > :17:43.They're not open to the public - journalists cannot identify anyone
:17:44. > :17:46.involved. Here, a court artist gives an impression of what this case
:17:47. > :17:50.witnessed by BBC Wales looks like. A father represented by an experienced
:17:51. > :17:52.lawyer. His legal fees paid for by the government because he can't
:17:53. > :17:56.afford them and crucially his application for legal aid was before
:17:57. > :18:00.the rules changed. The woman we've spoken to argues her own case for
:18:01. > :18:03.custody of the child against the solicitor. That's because she
:18:04. > :18:08.applied for legal aid after the rules change in April last year.
:18:09. > :18:16.Many in the legal profession say those changes are unfair. It is
:18:17. > :18:21.causing people to turn away from the justice system, which in effect is
:18:22. > :18:29.to deny them access to justice. There are cases where children are
:18:30. > :18:34.not seeing their parents because the parent who does not have residents
:18:35. > :18:40.of the isn't able to apply to the courts foreign order. We have made
:18:41. > :18:44.certain that anyone who has been the victim of domestic violence will
:18:45. > :18:50.have access to the solicitor. It wasn't possible to do it for every
:18:51. > :18:56.case and some people will be encouraged to use mediation. That is
:18:57. > :19:04.perfectly true. We should be upfront about it. We do not have the money
:19:05. > :19:07.to continue. But this woman's fight for custody isn't over and many
:19:08. > :19:10.other remain anxious about having to argue their own case in the
:19:11. > :19:13.complicated world of family law. Wales end their Six Nations campaign
:19:14. > :19:16.on Saturday. Claire's here with news of who'll face the Scots.
:19:17. > :19:21.Good evening. Warren Gatland has made six changes from the side that

:19:47. > :19:55.Wales are determined to end their campaign on a high.
:19:56. > :20:00.The bus journey back on Sunday was pretty bad. We have dusted ourselves
:20:01. > :20:03.off and we're excited to play in Cardiff. We love playing in the
:20:04. > :20:10.Millennium Stadium, it is the best plates to play rugby in the world.
:20:11. > :20:15.We were disappointed with the way we did that on Sunday. We have got a
:20:16. > :20:19.game on Saturday to put it right. Initial figures seen by BBC Wales
:20:20. > :20:23.suggest the number of us joining sports clubs will rise again this
:20:24. > :20:27.year. A record 500,000 people became members in both 2012 and 2013. But
:20:28. > :20:29.some sports are struggling and there are warnings tonight that wider
:20:30. > :20:40.sports participation isn't growing quickly enough. Our sports news
:20:41. > :20:43.correspondent, Gareth Lewis reports. Wales might not strike you as a
:20:44. > :20:47.hotbed of table tennis players but the sport is picking up pace. It has
:20:48. > :20:50.broken through the 3000 mark for club members this year with an
:20:51. > :20:59.appeal across the generations. Here in Bridgend, this boy was introduced

:21:21. > :21:28.in funding but here, they have been working hard to grow from the bottom
:21:29. > :21:33.up. I do a primary school to try to get the membership up. I think we
:21:34. > :21:37.have achieved that. We have been doing that for two or three years
:21:38. > :21:41.now. It is very proactive in trying to develop youngsters. It is just
:21:42. > :21:47.not table tennis, swim Wales has made a splash. They have 25,000
