:00:18. > :00:19.construction firm in Newport. Green Hill builds affordable housing

:00:31. > :00:36.It offers to build an affordable future but its own future now seems

:00:37. > :00:40.uncertain. Green Hill construction in Newport has won contracts worth

:00:41. > :00:45.millions of pounds to build houses for some of the biggest housing

:00:46. > :00:48.associations in Wales. The firm had recently expanded its associations

:00:49. > :00:52.but the gates are now locked and workers have been told to expect

:00:53. > :00:57.redundancy. We've got bills to pay and mortgages

:00:58. > :01:04.and all the rest of it and just at Easter, it wouldn't be worse timing.

:01:05. > :01:08.Nobody saw it coming. Some of the apprentices say they've

:01:09. > :01:13.now been left in limbo looking for another company to help finish the

:01:14. > :01:18.qualifications. Last year company was awarded ?146,000 by the Welsh

:01:19. > :01:23.government to help buy new machinery and take on more workers. Some are

:01:24. > :01:28.now questioning of that investment was wise although the local assembly

:01:29. > :01:33.member says risks are inevitable. There are always possibilities that

:01:34. > :01:38.funding will be given and that things will develop after that time

:01:39. > :01:43.and I think that in the nature of government assistant. It will be

:01:44. > :01:46.raising a host of issues with the company itself and with the Welsh

:01:47. > :01:49.government. There is still a lot of uncertainty

:01:50. > :01:53.this weekend as to how many jobs could be affected here and why the

:01:54. > :01:58.company appears to have gone into administration in the first place.

:01:59. > :02:01.Three people have died in separate crashes in south and west Wales, two

:02:02. > :02:05.of them motorcyclists. A woman passenger has died in hospital after

:02:06. > :02:09.the car she was in collided with parked cars in Swansea last night. A

:02:10. > :02:12.man has died this afternoon after a crash between his motorbike and a

:02:16. > :02:18.his motorbike collided with parked cars in Cadoxton, near Neath, in the

:02:19. > :02:22.early hours of this morning. The Cardiff City Manager, Ole Gunnar

:02:23. > :02:25.Solskjaer, has denied the club asked the Premier League to overturn their

:02:26. > :02:28.3-0 il defeat to Crystal Palace. The Bluebirds have lodged an official

:02:29. > :02:32.complaint, claiming Palace found out the team in advance of the game.

:02:33. > :02:42.Solskjaer says allegations that midfielder Aron Gunnarson was the

:02:43. > :02:47.source of the leak aren't true. We will defend his name and

:02:48. > :02:51.reputation to the edge of the cliff. It's an internal case so that means

:02:52. > :02:55.we keep it there, and we've dealt with the issues and we move on.

:02:56. > :03:12.In League Two, Newport squandered a 2-0 lead at Wimbledon this

:03:13. > :03:15.afternoon. . One of the biggest fixtures in the

:03:24. > :03:27.They'll be playing against each other this weekend, drumming home

:03:28. > :03:32.the message that regional rugby is hot stuff and a timer for fans to

:03:33. > :03:37.watch teams compete under the same roof. The blues won their last two

:03:38. > :03:44.teams but confidence is sky for the harlots -- Scarlets.

:03:45. > :03:49.Within that sixth spot at the moment with a few tunes creeping up so

:03:50. > :03:53.we're under no illusions. If we get a victory this weekend, it would go

:03:54. > :03:58.a long way towards securing that. You don't want to lose when you play

:03:59. > :04:02.any Welsh region and our record probably isn't the best against

:04:03. > :04:09.Scarlets in recent years and we need to rectify that. To pretty date --

:04:10. > :04:14.big games. The dragons and ospreys match will

:04:15. > :04:18.follow. The ospreys are currently fifth and hoping Glasgow can slip

:04:19. > :04:24.up. They face a dragon side without a win in the last five matches. Both

:04:25. > :04:29.coaches know each other for very well.

:04:30. > :04:31.The dragons are a tough outfit. We slipped off a little bit at the

:04:32. > :04:37.moment but they have some young, exciting players.

:04:38. > :04:42.It's an opportunity for our players to show the rest of Wales how good

:04:43. > :04:49.they are and we've started the season particularly well but fallen

:04:50. > :04:55.away drastically, you know, all our players have features to playful.

:04:56. > :05:00.Judgement today is aptly names. It's a chance for Wales coach Warren

:05:01. > :05:04.Gatland to see several players as he looks to name his squad to tour

:05:05. > :05:12.South Africa this summer. The weather forecast now. It's been

:05:13. > :05:17.a glorious day in Wales thanks to high pressure. Make the most of the

:05:24. > :05:28.Tonight, chilly with a touch of frost and underneath the sky is the

:05:29. > :05:32.skies that temperatures will dip away to when Celsius which will give

:05:33. > :05:37.this a chilly start to Saturday morning but again, more sunshine
