:00:00. > :00:00.story: A new ?1 billion motorway,
:00:00. > :00:09.a new road around Newport, I work 8-4 because if I finished
:00:10. > :00:15.at five I would never get home to see the children. Hopefully, I can
:00:16. > :00:18.work 9-5 again. This is where the Welsh Government
:00:19. > :00:22.want the new road to be built but environmental campaigners and some
:00:23. > :00:41.of Labour's own AMs are furious. A scout leader,
:00:42. > :00:43.a foster carer and an ex-police officer among 59 people arrested
:00:44. > :00:47.as part of a UK-wide operation A week before the Commonwealth Games

:01:03. > :01:05.for hundreds of years to see this priceless relic now
:01:06. > :01:14.the police are looking for it too. A new ?1 billion motorway for Wales
:01:15. > :01:18.has been announced tonight. It's the Welsh Government's solution
:01:19. > :01:21.to improving congestion Making the announcement, the
:01:22. > :01:26.Economy Minister Edwina Hart said But opponents say there are cheaper
:01:27. > :01:30.options, Our economics correspondent
:01:31. > :01:46.Sarah Dickins reports. It was more than 50 years ago that
:01:47. > :01:51.the M4 was wheeled into Wales with its tunnels and carriageways. Before
:01:52. > :01:54.the last two decades its congestion has become more intense and has been
:01:55. > :01:59.lively debate about upgrading it. Last September plans went to
:02:00. > :02:03.consultation with these three rooms look at in detail. The most
:02:04. > :02:09.expensive was the one you have black fruit and that is the one that has
:02:10. > :02:13.been chosen. After considering the responses, the environmental report
:02:14. > :02:17.which accompanies the draft plan consultation, I have decided to
:02:18. > :02:25.adopt the plan which includes a new section of motorway being built
:02:26. > :02:34.between junctions 23 and 29. We reclassify the M4. We provide
:02:35. > :02:39.cycling friendly infrastructure providing walking friendly
:02:40. > :02:43.infrastructure. The Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru have
:02:44. > :02:48.opposed the loos have -- as have for Labour ministers. In looking at the
:02:49. > :02:53.environmental considerations which are few concerns to me, I'll be
:02:54. > :02:56.planning for the long-term as we have been talking about in the
:02:57. > :03:03.well-being and future generations built or are we making a short-term
:03:04. > :03:06.decision that doesn't look at the long-term environmental
:03:07. > :03:14.consequences? The argument is it is needed to get Wales moving. It will
:03:15. > :03:19.attract as says. Go compare in place more than 200 workers alongside the
:03:20. > :03:22.M4 on the western edge of Newport. Most of them can view of the
:03:23. > :03:28.motorway. Congestion affects their business. We have people coming in
:03:29. > :03:34.late because of it. Breakdowns and all the rest of it. We have to send
:03:35. > :03:39.people home early. On a selfish level, it'll make things easier for
:03:40. > :03:42.us. More practically for future employees, it means that it'll be
:03:43. > :03:48.easier to attract talent here. There is always an economic argument this
:03:49. > :03:52.isn't the best way to improve the Welsh economy. That is the evidence
:03:53. > :03:56.whatsoever that the road will improve the economy of South Wales.
:03:57. > :04:04.The problems of South Wales are complex, is about inequality.
:04:05. > :04:07.Building a large new road may seem like an attractive solution that it
:04:08. > :04:12.is the big boys toy that doesn't address the problems. Its villages
:04:13. > :04:16.like this on the outskirts of Newport that'll be effected when
:04:17. > :04:20.they start new road. There are concerns what kind of impact it
:04:21. > :04:26.could have on the environment. It is a beautiful countryside around here.
:04:27. > :04:31.I don't think it should be spoiled. Depends on what people want.
:04:32. > :04:35.Personally, we don't want to come around here. It is an area of Wales
:04:36. > :04:40.which is unique in terms of the landscape and the area. Their RS
:04:41. > :04:45.species which live there. It be damaging and this is without going
:04:46. > :04:52.down the route of climate change impact. Of course, this announcement
:04:53. > :04:55.comes one week after the Welsh Government unveiled its future
:04:56. > :05:01.generations built. If that becomes law this M4 Project will have to
:05:02. > :05:02.prove it isn't just good for transport but for Wales in the
:05:03. > :05:04.widest of sensors. Let's talk to our political editor,
:05:05. > :05:06.Nick Servini. There will always be opposition to
:05:07. > :05:08.any new road but across the political spectrum,
:05:09. > :05:20.that's quite unusual? It is. From a number of Labour
:05:21. > :05:25.backbencher is having it shouldn't come as any surprise. This is the
:05:26. > :05:29.single biggest capital project carried out by the Welsh Government
:05:30. > :05:31.since the start of devolution. It was announced after four o'clock on
:05:32. > :05:37.the last day before the summer break. Even the Conservatives raised
:05:38. > :05:43.their eyebrows. In also was announced, a matter of days before,
:05:44. > :05:48.a cross-party committee was due to report and is looking at this issue.
:05:49. > :05:53.As you rightly point out, there is acknowledgement it was always going
:05:54. > :05:57.to have opposition. One of the biggest challenges politically is to
:05:58. > :06:10.meet this accusation that about half ?1 billion of road money will blow
:06:11. > :06:15.the budget on this one scheme. It is meeting this accusation from other
:06:16. > :06:19.parts of Wales. What will the Welsh Government have to do to win
:06:20. > :06:22.support? It isn't often that a Minister Mac are doing a heart
:06:23. > :06:29.agrees with the Prime Minister but that is what she has done. The M4
:06:30. > :06:36.had its foot on the neck of the Welsh economy. She has come out in
:06:37. > :06:43.support of that. You first of all is persuade people she represents
:06:44. > :06:44.businesses and industry and can win the job 's argument that this will
:06:45. > :06:45.create employment. Our environment correspondent Iolo
:06:46. > :06:48.ap Dafydd is in Newport, not far from where
:06:49. > :06:50.the new road will be built. Iolo this will have a big impact
:06:51. > :07:00.on the area? It will have a big environmental
:07:01. > :07:06.impacts. It'll have a big social impact as well. This area behind
:07:07. > :07:12.me, it'll impact them and all the way around the south of Newport. The
:07:13. > :07:18.elemental impact, Adrian Hart said she had considered that. --
:07:19. > :07:22.environmental impact. Friends of the Earth have said this will trash the
:07:23. > :07:28.Welsh environment along the Gwent levels. There are four areas of
:07:29. > :07:31.special scientific interest here. The river is an area of
:07:32. > :07:36.conservation. There will be a new crossing across the river to take
:07:37. > :07:39.this relief road down the south of Newport. Natural resource is Wales
:07:40. > :07:46.have echoed what we heard in the report. They say there is concern

:07:55. > :07:59.and one last thought, there will be a public enquiry given the magnitude
:08:00. > :08:04.of the scheme they could be cause for a judicial review.
:08:05. > :08:07.A scout leader, a foster carer, an ex-police officer
:08:08. > :08:10.and a social service manager are among 59 people arrested in Wales
:08:11. > :08:15.The arrests were part of a UK wide operation targeting people accessing

:08:26. > :08:30.As crime goes online, so at the detectives. Working on intelligence
:08:31. > :08:35.from the National Crime Agency for six months officers in Wales have
:08:36. > :08:42.been closing in on suspected paedophiles. We arrested 51 people,

:08:46. > :08:51.other electronic devices where they may have been storing child abuse

:09:17. > :09:23.sense this was co-ordinated? Paedophile ring? We didn't see of
:09:24. > :09:27.that in southern Wales. Obviously, we have gathered a lot of
:09:28. > :09:34.intelligence, a lot of images and that analytical work is to who is in
:09:35. > :09:37.connection with who is ongoing. Some of the images being viewed and
:09:38. > :09:42.passed the images being viewed and passed around. Some were on what
:09:43. > :09:47.became known as the dark web. At the high-tech police unit at present he

:10:09. > :10:13.kind of hide your identity. But there are methods available to us
:10:14. > :10:18.that can identify and locate those offenders. The police said today
:10:19. > :10:21.that two of the people who were arrested during the course of this
:10:22. > :10:26.operation have since taken their own lives. 12 people have been charged

:15:37. > :15:42.and Wales is ahead of the game on this, we need to be reviewing all

:15:47. > :15:50.a death could be prevented, which is probably
:15:51. > :15:53.in a small proportion of deaths, We also need to be doing clinical

:16:58. > :17:03.but wanted to know if Mr Crabb was still hostile to more power being
:17:04. > :17:07.transferred from Westminster. I think there will now be challenges
:17:08. > :17:11.to the Secretary of State as to what It was only a few years ago
:17:12. > :17:16.in opposition that he wrote: Mr Crabb said he was "open-minded"
:17:17. > :17:24.about the idea of more devolution. Former Welsh Secretaries have
:17:25. > :17:36.offered their experience. The job is essentially, these days,
:17:37. > :17:41.not one that runs many things. It is about relationships, the
:17:42. > :17:45.relationship between governments, the relationship between Parliament
:17:46. > :17:48.and between people. That is not going to be the easiest thing of the
:17:49. > :17:50.world to do in the general election year but it is an important part of

:24:29. > :24:32.Tomorrow morning, a cloudy start and it will brighten up. We look forward

:25:00. > :25:02.uncomfortable. Friday, something blue showers in the north and they
:25:03. > :25:06.were statically. It's a bright enough for most of us as we go
:25:07. > :25:13.through the morning. The best of the sunshine across eastern counties.

:26:03. > :26:10.The government today, by committing to this answer to the M4 problem has

:26:15. > :26:22.many years to come. Infrastructure problem -- projects will suffer in
:26:23. > :26:27.Wales. Let's have a word with our economic correspondent. There is
:26:28. > :26:32.also a huge economic debate around this. It is as economic league
:26:33. > :26:38.controversial as political. If billion pounds is spent Israel that
:26:39. > :26:42.is going to help those companies. That is obvious. But that is much
:26:43. > :26:46.more controversy about this theory that building a new motorway will
:26:47. > :26:51.attract jobs and investment. Many people are saying where it is the
:26:52. > :26:55.evidence for this? If you are going to spend ?1 billion to try and solve
:26:56. > :26:59.the problems of the Welsh economy, basically poverty is one of the main
:27:00. > :27:04.thing is, would you build a road on my team-mate the road a bit less
:27:05. > :27:08.congested, have some public transport and tried to get
:27:09. > :27:13.employment into some of our poorer areas? It is controversial as it is
:27:14. > :27:17.economic rate. People are telling the government, where is the
:27:18. > :27:20.evidence? This Seagate love this project the web is the evidence that
:27:21. > :27:26.building a road tracks well-paid jobs? Many thanks.
:27:27. > :27:30.I'll have an update for you here at eight o'clock and again
:27:31. > :27:38.That's Wales Today thank you for watching, from all of us
