:02:38. > :02:42.They are not aware of much targeted advertising where they live. I think
:02:43. > :02:45.people generally know that Wales is about outdoor pursuits. I am not
:02:46. > :02:54.sure what they do do already. I do not see adverts in Sussex about
:02:55. > :02:58.Wales. We were aware of it but I would not necessarily have thought
:02:59. > :03:04.that this is particularly well advertised to say to people further
:03:05. > :03:09.afield. The Tories arm of the Wales government does advertise but it is
:03:10. > :03:14.of -- often broadbrush. But should there be a more focused push on the
:03:15. > :03:19.outdoor sector? Would this -- this leading travel writer thinks so. I
:03:20. > :03:23.think there has to be more of a push to remind people that a couple of
:03:24. > :03:27.hours away from London, they could be in the Brecon Beacons. Three
:03:28. > :03:33.hours on the train puts them nicely in position to explore Snowdonia. It
:03:34. > :03:38.is a great opportunity for Wales. But of course, people in the
:03:39. > :03:41.south-east have so much choice. Visitors mean many and money
:03:42. > :03:52.translates into jobs. It is one thing to attract visitors to Wales.
:03:53. > :03:57.What is important that they spend. But that is a different challenge.
:03:58. > :04:02.Today's report suggests the outdoor sector puts more than ?480 million
:04:03. > :04:10.into the Welsh economy every year. In excess of 8000 jobs are
:04:11. > :04:19.supported. But not many of those jobs have gone to Welsh school
:04:20. > :04:25.leavers. Campaigners say more needs to be done. Historically, local
:04:26. > :04:33.people have not seen the outdoors as a means of employment. I grew up in
:04:34. > :04:36.the area, never once was given the opportunity to go hill walking or
:04:37. > :04:42.kayaking. I think things are changing. The work done over the
:04:43. > :04:46.last years winner good ten years has engaged with people and that has
:04:47. > :04:52.transferred into some people gaining sustained employment within the
:04:53. > :04:57.sector. There is no doubt that the outdoors has lots to offer the throw
:04:58. > :05:03.seekers, challenges galore, but edge of challenges to for policymakers.
:05:04. > :05:09.One of those -- we asked visit to Wales to appear on the programme but
:05:10. > :05:13.no one was able to appear on the programme. This is your place and
:05:14. > :05:20.you run it and other attractions in North West Wales. The Welsh
:05:21. > :05:23.Government spends around ?4 million per year on advertising. Is that
:05:24. > :05:29.enough? Are they doing it in the wrong places? It is enough that we
:05:30. > :05:34.could have improved brand awareness. We have some of the finest products
:05:35. > :05:38.in the UK. We need to let the general public know that we are here
:05:39. > :05:43.and we are open all year round. And in all weather as well. We have
:05:44. > :05:47.heard about the importance of this sector tonight. London and the
:05:48. > :05:51.south-east needs to be the key market because that is the highest
:05:52. > :05:57.spending market in the UK. How do you get your business recognised
:05:58. > :06:01.down there? It is down to the brand perception but also it is up to the
:06:02. > :06:09.business to get to London. It is difficult. Visit Wales could be more
:06:10. > :06:12.strategic. We could have our own managers knowing what is happening
:06:13. > :06:18.on the coal face and getting that message to London. It is only three
:06:19. > :06:23.hours on the train. Are they talking about the wrong things? We do tend
:06:24. > :06:29.to go on about castles, which is important for the tourism in
:06:30. > :06:33.north-west Wales, however we have so much more to offer, rather than
:06:34. > :06:38.traditional seaside, we are very compact, the seaside is 15 miles
:06:39. > :06:43.from here, Snowdon and other 15 miles south. Do you have the
:06:44. > :06:51.barriers quitting Mark we have problems. We are in the national
:06:52. > :06:54.park. However, planning policies are quite strict and we need to keep our
:06:55. > :07:02.local people in jobs. We need to be able to encourage growth in this
:07:03. > :07:04.market. A growing area and in terms of foreign visitors, the latest
:07:05. > :07:10.survey shows that Wales has been growing that market. Although not as
:07:11. > :07:17.More that 200 jobs are to be created in Merthyr Tydfil,

:07:26. > :07:34.Here's our Business Correspondent, Brian Meechan.
:07:35. > :07:42.The car industry is prospering on the effects are being felt in Wales.
:07:43. > :07:46.Exhaust is made here are put on different cars and shipped around
:07:47. > :07:49.the world. The company has been operating here for over 30 years and
:07:50. > :07:56.will now more than double its Welsh workforce with the creation of an
:07:57. > :08:00.extra 224 jobs, as it expands into a new site in Merthyr. Increasing
:08:01. > :08:06.demand for cars is a sign of growing confidence in the economy. It is
:08:07. > :08:10.growing. Customers are doing fantastically well and we are glad
:08:11. > :08:13.to be part of that success and expansion. Tenneco-Walker operates
:08:14. > :08:19.in 24 countries and could have chosen other sites for the Welsh
:08:20. > :08:23.plan. The Welsh Government has also invested. But the company says it
:08:24. > :08:28.was the skills of local people that help them decide. I think we are
:08:29. > :08:30.pleased with the improvements happening in the economy. We are
:08:31. > :08:35.delighted with the improvements in manufacturing but you have to be
:08:36. > :08:39.realistic. You have good figures but you have to look beyond those
:08:40. > :08:42.figures at who is self-employed, what is self-employment been, how
:08:43. > :08:49.many are part-time. But these are important jobs because they are
:08:50. > :08:52.important to the Welsh economy. Unemployment has been falling in
:08:53. > :08:57.Merthyr and it is lower than it is in other parts of the country. But
:08:58. > :09:02.it is higher year than the UK or Welsh average. Over the last few
:09:03. > :09:05.months, manufacturing has been on the increase and that has been
:09:06. > :09:09.helping to drive economic growth and what this announcement today shows
:09:10. > :09:14.is that impact on areas like this one. The news of highly skilled
:09:15. > :09:19.well-paid jobs is welcomed in a town that has been badly hit by the
:09:20. > :09:23.economic crisis. It has been very gloomy because obviously, money is
:09:24. > :09:28.tight but it is good to know for business and obviously, more money
:09:29. > :09:32.is being spent in the town. It will create new jobs, brilliant. It is
:09:33. > :09:36.tough. Any jobs coming to Merthyr will be good news at the moment. It
:09:37. > :09:45.is troubled times. But certainly in that industry as well. So
:09:46. > :09:48.manufacturing is certainly on the up and that is good news for jobs in

:11:18. > :11:25.Our Political Editor Nick Servini is here.
:11:26. > :11:34.Why is he doing this? This all goes back to February when Andrew Davies,
:11:35. > :11:40.the leader in the assembly, sacked four of his Assembly Members from
:11:41. > :11:44.being frank -- on the front bash -- bench. One of those was Nick Ramsay,
:11:45. > :11:47.the chair of the enterprise and business committee. He was replaced
:11:48. > :11:52.by another conservative Assembly Member, William Graham. Byron Davies
:11:53. > :11:56.objects that this on a Nimrod levels. He says he believes the
:11:57. > :12:02.decision to sack the Assembly Members was ludicrous and secondly,
:12:03. > :12:05.he believes that William Graham has been parachuted in because he was
:12:06. > :12:09.not an existing member of the committee. We are left with this
:12:10. > :12:15.extraordinary situation where we have a senior Conservative Assembly
:12:16. > :12:19.Member effectively going on strike for part of his job by failing to
:12:20. > :12:24.turn up for this business committee and will continue to do so until or
:12:25. > :12:31.unless the existing chair, a fellow conservative, is sacked from the
:12:32. > :12:33.position. How serious is this? The Conservatives are the main
:12:34. > :12:37.opposition group but the assembly but we are not talking about
:12:38. > :12:41.Westminster. They only have 40 members. Four have been sacked,
:12:42. > :12:51.another is clearly unhappy. Five out of the 14 are displeased. No word
:12:52. > :12:58.yet as to Andrew Davies. We will hear more tomorrow when he gives his
:12:59. > :13:02.Hate crime will only be tackled when our attitudes change and we
:13:03. > :13:05.That's the message from the Welsh Government.
:13:06. > :13:08.Today they've set up a new system for reporting
:13:09. > :13:11.Last year nearly 2,000 crimes were recorded here.
:13:12. > :13:21.Andrew Davies from Swansea says hate crime changed his life. He was the
:13:22. > :13:27.victim of homophobic abuse for more than a year. I was receiving hate
:13:28. > :13:31.mail, notes pushed under my door, basically telling me that people
:13:32. > :13:35.were worried about the safety of their children in the area because I
:13:36. > :13:41.was gay and so on. It got to a point where they actually killed my cap
:13:42. > :13:48.and sent me a sympathy card for the cat. Almost 2000 hate crimes were
:13:49. > :13:55.recorded in Wales. Today the minister in charge told me most go
:13:56. > :13:59.under the radar. There is a problem in Wales. It is true it is not as
:14:00. > :14:03.bad as in some parts of England. Perhaps generally we are a more
:14:04. > :14:09.tolerant society but nevertheless, what the consultation told us very
:14:10. > :14:11.clearly is that it is a significant problem for a significant number of
:14:12. > :14:25.people in Wales and therefore we need this hate crime framework.
:14:26. > :14:30.These actors tour Wales, educating children by challenging attitudes.
:14:31. > :14:34.But that the launch of the new reporting Centre today, the audience
:14:35. > :14:39.was told most victims simply do not know their rights or can help. Now
:14:40. > :14:43.by making a phone call to one central helpline, people will be
:14:44. > :14:49.able to report crime motivated by race, religion, disability, sexual
:14:50. > :14:56.orientation, gender identity or age. What we have not got is a true
:14:57. > :14:59.picture of the extent and the nature of this. Through working together
:15:00. > :15:03.and collating information in one centre, that will enable us to see
:15:04. > :15:05.what that picture is, hopefully giving people the confidence to
:15:06. > :15:10.report because they know alongside reporting, they can access the
:15:11. > :15:14.support that they need. Andrew says what happened to him has had a
:15:15. > :15:15.lasting effect but he is now using his experience to help support
:15:16. > :15:17.others. The work starts now for Swans boss
:15:18. > :15:30.Garry Monk, as he looks to build a stronger squad to tackle
:15:31. > :15:33.the Premier League next season. And it felt more
:15:34. > :15:36.like winter over the weekend, but A full forecast
:15:37. > :15:41.for you a little later. Next Thursday, we go to the polls
:15:42. > :15:52.in the European election. The health board has confirmed that
:15:53. > :15:57.seven more nurses have been suspended on suspicion of falsifying
:15:58. > :16:02.records. This comes after an enquiry was launched last year picking up
:16:03. > :16:07.alleged anomalies regarding the record-keeping of a small number of
:16:08. > :16:12.nurses. Our health correspondent joins us now. What is the latest?
:16:13. > :16:16.Standards of care at the health board have been under the spotlight
:16:17. > :16:20.for quite some time. Numerous allegations have emerged over the
:16:21. > :16:26.past couple of years, centred around allegations of poor care, mainly, I
:16:27. > :16:31.have to say at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. Well, what we
:16:32. > :16:36.knew before today was that three nurses had been arrested and bailed
:16:37. > :16:41.on suspicion of falsifying records. What has emerged tonight and has
:16:42. > :16:47.been confirmed by the health board is that a further seven have been
:16:48. > :16:50.suspended from their duties on suspicion of falsifying records.
:16:51. > :16:55.Crucially, the health board says these were picked up as a result of
:16:56. > :16:59.internal systems within the health board and they say is the
:17:00. > :17:06.investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to make any further
:17:07. > :17:13.comment. Can we expect more on this soon? Yes, the Welsh Government, as
:17:14. > :17:16.a result of many of these concerns, announced that there would be an
:17:17. > :17:27.independent external review of nursing standards at two hospitals
:17:28. > :17:32.in the area. Now, that review has been led by an external expert,
:17:33. > :17:36.Professor June Andrews of the University of Stirling in Scotland.
:17:37. > :17:38.I expect that review, the conclusions of that review, to be
:17:39. > :17:53.announced imminently. BBC Wales received 98 complaints
:17:54. > :17:56.after it was aired on Friday. In a statement it said the party
:17:57. > :17:59.meets BBC Trust criteria qualifying It added that those broadcasts are
:18:00. > :18:03.produced independently by the political parties, but that the
:18:04. > :18:06.BBC has no say over their content. The curtain came down on a hugely
:18:07. > :18:12.eventful season for Swansea City and Cardiff City with both clubs
:18:13. > :18:15.facing very different futures. The Swans can look forward to
:18:16. > :18:17.another season among the Premier League elite, while its life
:18:18. > :18:20.in the Championship for Cardiff. But for Bluebirds' fans, the weekend
:18:21. > :18:45.saw a potential olive branch offered The actions of some Cardiff city
:18:46. > :18:48.fans after the final whistle against Chelsea probably gives a hint of the
:18:49. > :18:56.issue likely to dominate the clubs close season. The protests against
:18:57. > :19:00.the red rebrand have become more vocal but the man who brought it
:19:01. > :19:03.about seems to have softened his stance. Vincent Tan says he will
:19:04. > :19:11.consider reverting back to blue with the club gain promotion back to the
:19:12. > :19:17.Premier league next season. We will take it on board as much as we can.
:19:18. > :19:22.But the fans must have faith and confidence in us that we are running
:19:23. > :19:28.a business and we will try to make it work financially. I have put a
:19:29. > :19:33.lot of money on this. A Molloy raft of proposals Vincent Tan says he is
:19:34. > :19:39.considering, is offering supporters representation on the board. We have
:19:40. > :19:47.got to be blue. Get everyone on side. That is all he has to do. They
:19:48. > :19:51.need to build the trust between the owners and the fans aren't talking
:19:52. > :19:54.about foot rather than politics. Despite parting company with a
:19:55. > :19:59.popular manager and flirting with the relegation battle, Swansea City
:20:00. > :20:06.supporters can look forward to next season with some optimism. Garry
:20:07. > :20:12.Monk marked his first match as manager with a victory. The most
:20:13. > :20:16.important part for me is people we bring in have to be as good as or
:20:17. > :20:25.better than what we have got. That is key for the club going forward.
:20:26. > :20:31.We will have our targets. And Garry Monk also insists that the club will
:20:32. > :20:34.keep hold of striker Wilfried Bony. After 25 goals and the World Cup
:20:35. > :20:37.with the Ivory Coast to come, there are likely to be no shortage of
:20:38. > :20:38.offers for the record signing this summer.
:20:39. > :20:42.Former Scarlets Coach Nigel Davies has left Gloucester
:20:43. > :20:44.after they slipped to 9th in the English Premiership

:20:50. > :20:59.Cricket and it's been confirmed that Cardiff will host the first

:21:21. > :21:30.I think England playing against Australia, it has been going on a
:21:31. > :21:34.very long time. Huge rivalry. And having lost to Australia in the

:22:24. > :22:28.The wind has been lighter today with a mixture of sunshine and showers.
:22:29. > :22:31.Similar tomorrow but like today some places will fair better than others.
