:00:00. > :00:16.BBC News Channel, but now on BBC One, it's
:00:17. > :00:23.Good evening. Labour MP Ann Clwyd is calling for the resignation of the
:00:24. > :00:26.Chair and Chief Executive of the Cardiff and Vale University Health
:00:27. > :00:29.Board. She claims the board released private information on the
:00:30. > :00:31.investigation into the death of her late husband at the University
:00:32. > :00:39.Hospital Wales. Our Welsh affairs editor, Vaughan Roderick, joins me
:00:40. > :00:45.now. What exactly is she claiming? This
:00:46. > :00:49.all goes back to the death of her husband. At the time, she made a
:00:50. > :00:54.number of public complaints about the way he had been treated in his
:00:55. > :00:58.last days in the hospital, and she also made an official complaint. An
:00:59. > :01:03.investigation has been carried out, and Ann Clwyd is happy that the
:01:04. > :01:07.health board has decided in response to a Freedom of information request
:01:08. > :01:12.to publish the conclusion of that report. Not the entire report, but
:01:13. > :01:17.part of it. She says that infringes on both her pussy and her husband's
:01:18. > :01:22.privity. She says the chair and the Chief Executive of the board need to
:01:23. > :01:30.consider their position. Have the health board responded? Yes, they
:01:31. > :01:33.said they received a number of Freedom of information requests
:01:34. > :01:37.asking for the report in its entirety. Those they turned down out
:01:38. > :01:41.of respect to Ann Clwyd. Then they said they had a request for a
:01:42. > :01:46.summary of the report, and they felt it was correct to release the
:01:47. > :01:49.conclusion of the report, along with information that was already in the
:01:50. > :01:54.public domain. Ann Clwyd says she will take the information to the
:01:55. > :01:56.commissioner and that she is consulting her solicitors about
:01:57. > :01:58.possible legal action. Politicians are absorbing today's
:01:59. > :02:03.budget announcements by Chancellor George Osborne. Pensioners and
:02:04. > :02:06.savers are the big winners. The Chancellor also some found some
:02:07. > :02:09.money to assist Welsh business. There'll be ?240 million in
:02:10. > :02:12.compensation for 16 companies based in Wales that have very high energy
:02:13. > :02:17.bills, including Tata Steel in Port Talbot. The Welsh government will
:02:18. > :02:20.receive an extra ?36 million to spend over the next two years,
:02:21. > :02:24.that's 0.1% of their ?15 billion budget. And, a new regional air fund
:02:25. > :02:26.is being set up to encourage airlines to start flying new routes
:02:27. > :02:33.from regional airports, like Cardiff. Meanwhile, as George
:02:34. > :02:35.Osborne says the economy's recovering faster than forecast,
:02:36. > :02:39.it's emerged the unemployment rate in Wales has fallen more than in any
:02:40. > :02:48.other part of the UK. Sarah Dickins has been looking in detail at the
:02:49. > :02:52.figures. Hydro industries in Carmarthenshire
:02:53. > :02:57.is a small business that is growing quickly. They have gone from zero to
:02:58. > :03:06.30 employees -- interweave in three years. The kind of skilled jobs
:03:07. > :03:11.Wales needs more of. We can produce a lot of drinking water with a very
:03:12. > :03:17.low power consumption. We estimate around about 100 systems this
:03:18. > :03:23.calendar year will be out in India, and we estimate around 1500 systems
:03:24. > :03:29.by September next year. Today's unemployment rate of 6.7% is below
:03:30. > :03:33.the UK average. In the last year, Wales has seen the largest increase
:03:34. > :03:37.in people working of all the nations and regions of the UK. While
:03:38. > :03:41.today's figures show unemployment is down by 12,000 on last month's
:03:42. > :03:46.figures, there has only been an increase of 1000 in the number of
:03:47. > :03:51.people actually in work. 12,000 less unemployed doesn't necessarily mean
:03:52. > :03:55.12,000 new jobs. We have pockets of high levels of economic inactivity
:03:56. > :03:59.in Wales. These people are not looking for jobs, they are not in
:04:00. > :04:04.the jobs market. They may not be employed because they are suffering
:04:05. > :04:07.from ill health, they may have caring responsibilities, or they may
:04:08. > :04:13.have made a conscious decision to take themselves out of the labour
:04:14. > :04:17.market. In practice, both the UK and Welsh government have initiatives to
:04:18. > :04:22.increase employment. Selling Wales abroad, bringing investment into
:04:23. > :04:28.Wales, the fact that we are exporting far more now than we
:04:29. > :04:32.were, making sure that opportunities are there for young people so they
:04:33. > :04:37.have a chance of getting a job. We have seen the UK Government scheme
:04:38. > :04:41.of the national insurance plans coming in. That provides an
:04:42. > :04:48.incentive for businesses. That also encourages people to take on staff.
:04:49. > :04:51.Implement rate in Wales are growing three times faster than the UK
:04:52. > :04:54.average. The exam board at the centre of
:04:55. > :04:57.concerns about the low results of GCSE English Language papers sat in
:04:58. > :05:01.January, says it's ordered a re-grade of some papers. But the
:05:02. > :05:03.WJEC says, fewer than 1% of papers will be re-graded after they
:05:04. > :05:06.identified inconsistencies with one examiner. Health bosses in South
:05:07. > :05:11.Wales have agreed plans, to centralise some specialist services
:05:12. > :05:14.at five hospitals. It means consultant led care for children,
:05:15. > :05:17.mothers and newborn babies, as well as high level A services will be
:05:18. > :05:22.removed from the Royal Glamorgan hospital in Llantrisant. Cwm Taf
:05:23. > :05:25.University Health Board, which runs the hospital, had rejected the
:05:26. > :05:33.proposals last month but now all five health boards involved say
:05:34. > :05:35.they're in agreement. Two Christians accused of
:05:36. > :05:38.discriminating against gay couples at their guesthouse in Powys say
:05:39. > :05:42.they're taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Jeff
:05:43. > :05:45.and Sue Green received a complaint that their policy of only allowing
:05:46. > :05:55.married couples to book double rooms was unlawful. Charlotte Dubenskij
:05:56. > :06:01.reports. Practising Christians Jeff and Sue
:06:02. > :06:05.Green have been running the guesthouse for 11 years. Until
:06:06. > :06:10.recently, they had only allowed married couples to book rooms with
:06:11. > :06:14.double beds. Last year, the equality and human rights commission wrote to
:06:15. > :06:19.the couple, saying it was unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of
:06:20. > :06:24.sexual orientation. A similar case was heard at the Supreme Court in
:06:25. > :06:28.the UK last year. Hoteliers Peter and Hazel bought from Cornwall were
:06:29. > :06:31.found to have discriminated unlawfully against a same-sex couple
:06:32. > :06:38.by refusing to give them a double room. But that ruling has not
:06:39. > :06:43.deterred the Dreams. We hope to achieve recognition of our personal
:06:44. > :06:49.faith, our Christian lease and our human rights, alongside the new
:06:50. > :06:55.equality laws being brought in by Westminster. In a statement, the
:06:56. > :07:10.equality and human rights commission said:
:07:11. > :07:15.Gay rights campaigners say it is only right that cases like this are
:07:16. > :07:20.highlighted. It is a key part of the law in this
:07:21. > :07:23.country that says you cannot discriminate on grounds of sexual
:07:24. > :07:29.orientation when providing goods and services. I believe that is an
:07:30. > :07:33.example. The couple say they have never turned anyone away from their
:07:34. > :07:39.guesthouse because of their sexual orientation. They say they just want
:07:40. > :07:42.to know if there is space for their Christian beliefs within the public
:07:43. > :07:45.and private sector. Wrexham caretaker boss Billy Barr
:07:46. > :07:48.has not been offered the role on a permanent basis and will leave the
:07:49. > :07:51.club with immediate effect. Barr, who has been in charge since
:07:52. > :07:54.Andy Morrell's departure, was interviewed for the vacant position.
:07:55. > :07:56.But Wrexham confirmed Barr is not in contention for the role following a
:07:57. > :07:59.final round of interviews. Meanwhile, Newport County have lost
:08:00. > :08:10.1-2 in their League two match against Dagenham and Redbridge.
:08:11. > :08:15.There is a big change on the way. Rain, strong winds and Wales, and
:08:16. > :08:19.turning colder everywhere by Friday. The night, plenty of cloud with a
:08:20. > :08:24.feud spots of light rain and drizzle. Otherwise dry. A wheezy
:08:25. > :08:29.night, up to gale force in the north-west, with the lowest
:08:30. > :08:35.temperature five Celsius in Wrexham. Tomorrow, and active front bringing
:08:36. > :08:40.in some heavy rain. Lots of ice bars, which means strong winds. Make
:08:41. > :08:43.the most of the dry weather tomorrow morning. A little sunshine in
:08:44. > :08:54.places, just a feud spots of drizzle. -- a feud spots. Across the
:08:55. > :08:58.rest of the UK, wet and windy across Scotland and Northern Ireland. The
:08:59. > :09:03.rain slowly moving south eastwards during the day. However, south-east
:09:04. > :09:08.England and East Anglia will stay dry and bright. A high of 16 in
:09:09. > :09:13.Norwich, but behind the rain, turning colder in the north and west
:09:14. > :09:19.with showers. The rain will reach Cardiff by about 2pm. Rain and
:09:20. > :09:22.blustery winds for Wales tomorrow afternoon. Gradually turning drier
:09:23. > :09:31.later on into the afternoon and evening. Friday will be truly and --
:09:32. > :09:35.Chile and breezy. Maybe some hail and thunder, and turning wintry and
:09:36. > :09:42.higher ground. A cold and breezy weekend. Hale and thunder possible,
:09:43. > :09:48.even some snow on some of the hills and mountains. Watch out for Frost
:09:49. > :09:51.if you are a gardener. That's all for now. Next, there's a
:09:52. > :09:54.Crimewatch Update, followed by a special Wales Report with Huw
:09:55. > :09:57.Edwards from Westminster, who'll be discussing the Budget and what it
:09:58. > :10:01.means for the Welsh economy. Goodbye.
