:01:58. > :02:08.His job is to be the voice of Wales in the UK Government and the voice

:02:15. > :02:17.Wales. Stephen Crabb knew
:02:18. > :02:21.his summons to Downing Street this He emerged half
:02:22. > :02:24.an hour later to tell the waiting cameras he was delighted to be David
:02:25. > :02:31.Cameron's new Welsh Secretary. He's 41,
:02:32. > :02:34.married with a son and daughter. He was born in Inverness but he
:02:35. > :02:40.and his two brothers were raised by their single mother in
:02:41. > :02:43.a council house in Haverfordwest. He went to school there too

:03:13. > :03:14.Some busineses in Pembrokeshire think that's a bonus.
:03:15. > :03:20.I think it's important and it gives credibility because a key aspect of

:03:24. > :03:31.ensure that they work together as effectively as possible to make sure
:03:32. > :03:33.that more happens at the coal face, rather than gets lost in the
:03:34. > :03:35.lost in the process.
:03:36. > :03:38.Under his predecessor David Jones, there were tensions between
:03:39. > :03:40.the coalition at Westminster and the Labour government in Cardiff.
:03:41. > :03:43.But at question time in the senedd, the First Minister gave
:03:44. > :03:49.the impression he could do business with the new Secretary of State.
:03:50. > :03:56.We do very much welcome a new approach, a new attitude. I do have
:03:57. > :03:59.two say that I know my colleagues have dealt with the new Secretary of
:04:00. > :04:05.State in the past and found him to be pragmatic and reasonable.
:04:06. > :04:08.Mr Crabb's old job as a junior Wales Office minister will be filled
:04:09. > :04:10.by the Welsh-speaking Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns.
:04:11. > :04:13.Promotion for him but it does mean the Wales Office no

:04:22. > :04:28.Your predecessor fell at the Welsh Labour government and Welsh
:04:29. > :04:32.Conservatives, you have got some pretty big bridges to build, haven't
:04:33. > :04:36.you? I am clear the job of secretary of state for Wales is to work
:04:37. > :04:38.positively and constructively with government departments here in
:04:39. > :04:42.London but also across the devolution divide in Cardiff and I
:04:43. > :04:47.have been doing the junior Wales Office job, I've enjoyed
:04:48. > :04:50.constructive racial ships with ministers in the Welsh government
:04:51. > :04:54.and look forward to continuing that in this new role of Secretary of
:04:55. > :04:59.State. After devolution, the Welsh Secretary's job is somewhat
:05:00. > :05:02.meaningless. Those are your own words. You are dragging up an
:05:03. > :05:08.article from years ago, seven years ago. Written at a time when Labour
:05:09. > :05:11.governments had reduced the job of Secretary of State for Wales to less
:05:12. > :05:17.than a part-time job. This government, David Cameron, has
:05:18. > :05:19.reinvigorated the office and the Department of the Welsh office. He
:05:20. > :05:24.is very clear the Wales Office should be playing in economic role,
:05:25. > :05:27.helping to bring in new infrastructure into Wales, attract
:05:28. > :05:32.new business investment into Wales and that's I hope to continue. At
:05:33. > :05:36.that time, you argued for the Welsh job to be merged with Scottish and
:05:37. > :05:40.Northern Irish counterparts. What was it about the Prime Minister's
:05:41. > :05:44.generous offer which changed your mind? What the government has done
:05:45. > :05:49.in the last four years is restore the status of the Wales Office and
:05:50. > :05:53.the position of Secretary of State, so it can play constructive pivotal
:05:54. > :05:56.role in the devolution settlement but also, working with government
:05:57. > :06:04.departments here and across Cardiff with Welsh government, to see big
:06:05. > :06:07.projects like the new nuclear power station in Anglesey, the new prison
:06:08. > :06:11.in North Wales, tangible achievements which has been achieved
:06:12. > :06:15.partly because of the existence and proactive approach of the Wales
:06:16. > :06:20.Office. One point of trivia to finish on. You are the first
:06:21. > :06:26.Conservative minister with a beard for more than 100 years. I didn't
:06:27. > :06:30.know those facts from history for that one of my colleagues said today
:06:31. > :06:36.he thought a Cabinet member in the 1980s came back from a summer
:06:37. > :06:39.holidays with a beard but didn't last 24-hour was. You have your
:06:40. > :06:43.place in the history books. If you're wondering about Cabinet
:06:44. > :06:49.minister was in 1905, it was the fourth Earl of Onslow. You will
:06:50. > :06:51.thank me when you win that pub quiz. We definitely will, David, thank you
:06:52. > :07:11.very much indeed. The Children's Commissioner
:07:12. > :07:13.for Wales has told the BBC that he is going to investigate the way in
:07:14. > :07:16.which Pembrokeshire County Council dealt with allegations against
:07:17. > :07:18.former council youth worker Mik Smith, who was recently jailed for
:07:19. > :07:21.six years for child sex offences. BBC Wales's Week In Week Out
:07:22. > :07:23.programme tonight investigates the way in which the council dealt
:07:24. > :07:26.with complaints about Smith, and asks if more could have been
:07:27. > :07:28.done to prevent his abuse. For years he held a position

:07:56. > :08:00.by the council and police, when seven of his colleagues said they

:08:04. > :08:05.against him were upheld but Smith was allowed to stay
:08:06. > :08:08.in his job with a verbal warning. One of Smith's colleagues turned

:08:56. > :09:01.the view that things happened to children in the past could help to
:09:02. > :09:04.improve the lives of children today then I certainly have powers
:09:05. > :09:08.of remit to take a look at it. Mick Smith has now begun

:16:43. > :16:46.of the population who go on smoking We're going to move ahead in Wales
:16:47. > :16:56.with a ban on smoking There are moves to introduce similar
:16:57. > :17:02.bans elsewhere in the UK but in a new report, the Royal College
:17:03. > :17:06.of paediatrics and child health says it is also concerned
:17:07. > :17:09.about the risks of smoking on In 2010, a higher proportion
:17:10. > :17:16.of pregnant women smoked in Wales And it's a particular problem

:17:28. > :17:33.quite stressful so I carried on smoking, but there was nothing

:17:40. > :17:42.since a very young age and found it I did feel very guilty
:17:43. > :17:48.smoking whilst pregnant. So
:17:49. > :17:51.the Royal College wants to see new smoking reduction targets set for
:17:52. > :17:56.every stage of pregnancy by 2015. It is also calling
:17:57. > :17:59.for targeted support to reduce smoking in family homes which can
:18:00. > :18:03.increase the risk of cot deaths. And for older children it's calling
:18:04. > :18:06.for better care for asthma, epilepsy Smoking cessation
:18:07. > :18:15.in England has had greater investment and I think the rates
:18:16. > :18:18.of smoking cessation in England has fallen at a greater proportion to
:18:19. > :18:21.Wales and is a reflection of the Overall, the report concludes
:18:22. > :18:27.the NHS here can boast some of the best doctors, and medical equipment
:18:28. > :18:31.anywhere and the Welsh government says it is committed to reducing
:18:32. > :18:39.avoidable child death but this still, it seems, much more to do
:18:40. > :18:41.to offer children, wherever they are born in Wales, the best
:18:42. > :18:59.possible chance of a healthy life. In total, there are ten proposed
:19:00. > :19:06.laws covering areas like public health, education and planning
:19:07. > :19:12.systems. Wales has been making money at the Royal Mint for decades. And
:19:13. > :19:17.now it's going to have its own means to raise money as well with the
:19:18. > :19:20.Treasury, as the National Assembly gets tax varying and borrowing
:19:21. > :19:24.powers for the first time. A new Treasury has been included in the
:19:25. > :19:29.West government's law making plans for the next year. This is a
:19:30. > :19:34.historic time for Wales, the first piece of tax legislation the
:19:35. > :19:39.assembly has had to consider and it will pave the way for the
:19:40. > :19:44.replacement of stamp duty land tax and landfill tax with new devolved
:19:45. > :19:48.Welsh taxes from 2018. One of the questions is whether a new Treasury
:19:49. > :19:53.at a place like this, the Welsh government offices in the centre of
:19:54. > :19:58.Cardiff, will come to resemble a kind of powerful Treasury we see at
:19:59. > :20:03.Westminster, which not only sets tax rates, but also tightly controls the
:20:04. > :20:08.purse strings of all the other government departments like health
:20:09. > :20:12.and education. The Economist here wrote a report recommending tax and
:20:13. > :20:15.borrowing powers devolved and says they could be tensions between a new
:20:16. > :20:20.Treasury and other government departments. The Welsh government
:20:21. > :20:27.has a tradition of a lot of discretion for individual ministers
:20:28. > :20:32.and I think many of them would be uneasy about having a stronger
:20:33. > :20:35.Treasury looking at their investment decisions and subjecting them to
:20:36. > :20:39.scrutiny and making them present more detailed business cases and
:20:40. > :20:43.things like that, so I think there's probably a splitter there. The new
:20:44. > :20:47.programme is not just about the Treasury. There are plans to ban
:20:48. > :20:52.e-cigarettes in public places. Local government legislation is pave the
:20:53. > :20:57.way for councils to merge voluntarily and the law to create a
:20:58. > :21:00.new body to regulate exams. When this government's term comes to an

:21:43. > :21:47.Helen Jenkins has been forced to withdraw because of an injury. A big
:21:48. > :21:50.blow for team Wales because she was one of the real medal hopes and
:21:51. > :21:52.pulled out during an event at the weekend. A precaution, we were told
:21:53. > :21:58.but tonight, the news of this horrific injury. She said tonight
:21:59. > :22:04.she's obviously devastated and looking forward to racing a tough
:22:05. > :22:07.honest triathlon course in Strathclyde and such is almost
:22:08. > :22:11.certain she won't be racing again this season. That get the reaction
:22:12. > :22:20.of team Wales captain Aled Sion Davies. A big blow for you? Yes, it

:23:16. > :23:21.it over and done with. You picked up your first Commonwealth medal for
:23:22. > :23:25.Wales back in 1988. Assess for us the importance of the Commonwealth

:23:32. > :23:36.championships, not as big as the Olympic Games and not so many
:23:37. > :23:39.companies, but it's a great stepping stone for youngsters to go in there
