:01:10. > :01:13.years, will be extradited to the UK after being caught in South Africa.
:01:14. > :01:18.Martin Evans was jailed eight years ago but later absconded from prison.
:01:19. > :01:21.Back in the '90s Evans had conned investors in a south Wales ostrich
:01:22. > :01:48.He was one of the UK's most wanted criminals. After three years on the
:01:49. > :01:52.run and a global operation to finding, Martin Evans walked into
:01:53. > :01:53.court and into the glare of the cameras. He was arrested in
:01:54. > :01:58.Johannesburg. Officers swooped while he was getting out of his car at a
:01:59. > :02:02.housing complex. His life as a criminal goes back to decades, when
:02:03. > :02:05.he stepped this ostrich farm near Swansea. He started the business
:02:06. > :02:08.after his double glazing firm import all but failed. He promised
:02:09. > :02:15.investors big profits but come from out of nearly ?1 million. Before he
:02:16. > :02:18.came to trial, he fled to Spain. There he masterminded a
:02:19. > :02:22.multi-million pound drugs and money-laundering operation. He was
:02:23. > :02:28.eventually caught in the US and sentenced to 21 years in jail in
:02:29. > :02:33.2006 stop during a weekend release from prison in 2011, he disappeared
:02:34. > :02:37.and went on the run for three years, sparking an international search
:02:38. > :02:41.which led to South Africa. Evans will remain in jail until the
:02:42. > :02:45.justice minister agrees for him to be extradited to the UK. He told the
:02:46. > :02:48.court he won't be appealing the decision.
:02:49. > :02:51.Just before we came on air I spoke to the BBC's Africa
:02:52. > :02:57.I asked him what happens next to Martin Evans.
:02:58. > :03:04.As you saw there, he looked pretty happy in court and offered no
:03:05. > :03:11.challenge to his extradition. Which means that, in simple terms, it's
:03:12. > :03:16.almost a procedural issue, not much in the way of legal headaches in the
:03:17. > :03:19.days or weeks to come. We're not yet being given any clear idea by the
:03:20. > :03:25.South African authorities exactly how long will keep him. He is
:03:26. > :03:28.remaining in custody. The Magistrates' Court is here in
:03:29. > :03:35.Johannesburg and presumably he's being kept somewhere in this area.
:03:36. > :03:38.There are complicated extraditions, one thinks of Shrien Dewani, took
:03:39. > :03:44.many months for him to get extradited, but the assumption is
:03:45. > :03:49.that Mr Evans will be put on a plane relatively quickly after a few more
:03:50. > :03:54.documents have been signed and agreements reached. This is headline
:03:55. > :04:02.news here. Is it making reports in South Africa? I'm afraid not. There
:04:03. > :04:06.were some cameras in court today but it certainly wasn't a packed
:04:07. > :04:14.courtroom like we are seeing in Pretoria for the Oscar Pretorius --
:04:15. > :04:20.Oscar Pistorius trial. There is some interest, above all, South Africa's

:04:43. > :04:47.the highest level. -- visas are too easy to get.
:04:48. > :04:49.The Welsh Government could get hundreds of millions of pounds
:04:50. > :04:52.in top up payments under a pledge announced by the Liberal Democrats.
:04:53. > :04:54.The party claims that if it forms part
:04:55. > :04:57.of a coalition after the general election it would try to address
:04:58. > :05:00.concerns over the Barnett Formula - which is the way that Westminster
:05:01. > :05:18.Here is our political editor. The First Minister has tonight laid out
:05:19. > :05:26.what he calls... How much money the Welsh government
:05:27. > :05:29.received from Westminster has been one of the dominant stories in
:05:30. > :05:34.recent years. Much of it is down to one equation, the Barnett Formula
:05:35. > :05:39.has been with us since the 1970s, but a report five years ago found
:05:40. > :05:44.that funding for areas like Alf and education is around ?300 million
:05:45. > :05:49.below what it should be be taken into account the needs of Wales.
:05:50. > :05:55.Ashley Cross health and education. Sensitivity over the way Westminster
:05:56. > :05:58.funds Scotland has meant the many calls to reform Barnet in recent
:05:59. > :06:04.years have come to nothing. But if that's about to change? If there is
:06:05. > :06:07.a repeat of 2010 after next year's general election and the Lib Dems
:06:08. > :06:11.form a coalition government at Westminster, they claim it will be a
:06:12. > :06:17.priority for the party in any coalition talks. I see this
:06:18. > :06:24.commitment in the pre-manifesto is absolutely key, as a party, we have
:06:25. > :06:27.recognised that Wales is not only poorly funded by the Barnett
:06:28. > :06:30.Formula, we are proposing to do something about it, that will be key
:06:31. > :06:35.to us in taking forward negotiations. There has been a
:06:36. > :06:39.sceptical response from the man who wrote the original report that
:06:40. > :06:44.concluded that the Welsh government should get more money from
:06:45. > :06:47.Westminster. It is possible that Northern Ireland would be able to
:06:48. > :06:51.say in a year or two that it is underfunded as well pull stop in
:06:52. > :06:58.that case, they will ask for a top up. You then get a select the
:06:59. > :07:00.English public that anybody who is underfunded gets a top up at
:07:01. > :07:05.somebody who is underfunded gets a top up back. Nice work if you can
:07:06. > :07:10.get it, but I don't know how well that will play. There are plenty of
:07:11. > :07:13.hurdles to overcome but there could be Begovic and is of hurdles to
:07:14. > :07:20.overcome but there could be Begovic and is. It is the main reason why he
:07:21. > :07:27.doesn't want ministers who in Cardiff to have control over income
:07:28. > :07:30.tax. If there is more money from Westminster in future, it could make
:07:31. > :07:38.it more likely that ministers here have responsibility some of the big
:07:39. > :07:41.taxes we all pay. The funding of devolved government is being thrown
:07:42. > :07:51.into focus by the Scottish referendum. Expect there to be more
:07:52. > :07:58.in the months ahead. How realistic is this millions of pounds flooding
:07:59. > :08:01.from Westminster? The Treasury haven't given an inch on this in the
:08:02. > :08:05.five years since the report, so even if the Lib Dems form part of a
:08:06. > :08:10.coalition, it will be a tall order for them. One of the main reasons I
:08:11. > :08:15.say that is whoever forms the next UK Government, they will face a
:08:16. > :08:20.tight set of financial conditions. There is not going to be less money
:08:21. > :08:23.for Scotland, regardless of the referendum, so any new money for
:08:24. > :08:27.Wales will have to come from other budgets, they would have to be cut,
:08:28. > :08:33.as you believe that will lead to a perception that exists that Wales
:08:34. > :08:38.has an overly generous settlement from the Westminster government.
:08:39. > :08:42.That said, the Lib Dems have gone further than all the other parties
:08:43. > :08:45.on this but they are not the only party talking about it. Labour are
:08:46. > :08:53.talking about addressing a specific set of issues in relation to Wales,
:08:54. > :08:57.and the big unknown is the Scottish referendum. Maybe it does throw up
:08:58. > :09:07.up particular set of circumstances, and momentum, for a change and this
:09:08. > :09:13.which hasn't happened until now. The former Welsh Conservative leader's
:09:14. > :09:17.duties will consist of managing the legislative framework in the Lord.

:09:23. > :09:24.A row has broken out over whether schools should have
:09:25. > :09:26.their opening times disrupted during the NATO Summit.
:09:27. > :09:29.Schools in the Vale of Glamorgan have been advised to start late
:09:30. > :09:32.and close early during the summit, which is being held in Newport,
:09:33. > :09:35.The local MP says he's worried about the problems it could pose

:09:50. > :09:53.full of 60 world leaders who will be in Newport next month for the NATO
:09:54. > :09:57.summit. 12 miles of fencing has already been put up. The security
:09:58. > :10:01.operation will be cute and the knock-on effects surrounding area
:10:02. > :10:05.significant, particularly in terms of getting around, but the summit
:10:06. > :10:08.taking place next to the M4. That is why the local council has of schools
:10:09. > :10:14.in the county should consider closing early and opening late the
:10:15. > :10:18.summit is on. I appreciate other people have different information
:10:19. > :10:22.that we have been given the advice in a meeting with officers, saying
:10:23. > :10:27.they try to limit the disruption for people and staff. If it is an
:10:28. > :10:32.overreaction, it is only a reaction to the commission we have been
:10:33. > :10:36.given. All we did was follow the advice. The letter from the Vale of
:10:37. > :11:08.Glamorgan Council says: The local MP says it is taking
:11:09. > :11:13.things too far. Schools in Cardiff and Newport will be at the risk of
:11:14. > :11:18.more disruption than schools in places like the Vale of Glamorgan.
:11:19. > :11:20.Why are the ones in Cardiff and Newport remaining open or untouched
:11:21. > :11:27.but once in the Vale of Glamorgan closing? In Newport, 49 out of 54
:11:28. > :11:33.schools will be closed or partially closed on Friday. In Cardiff, 63,
:11:34. > :11:42.around half the total, will do the same.
:11:43. > :11:53.Possibly including some, nearly 40 miles away from the summit venue.
:11:54. > :11:57.Between them, this pair of women have many 's children but have
:11:58. > :12:01.different views. It wouldn't be an issue but I will have two children
:12:02. > :12:04.in one school and two children in another school and they will close
:12:05. > :12:08.both at the same time, it will be difficult to pick some up and
:12:09. > :12:14.dropped them off at the same time. It's great, it puts Cardiff in South
:12:15. > :12:19.Wales on the map, it is bring business to the area I am all for
:12:20. > :12:24.it. At the moment, the police said there are no plans to close the M4.
:12:25. > :12:27.The UK Government says it expects the busiest times to be on Thursday
:12:28. > :12:32.evening and Friday morning, when the summit is in full swing. Downing
:12:33. > :12:36.Street says that it expects some schools in Newport and Cardiff to be

:17:04. > :17:08.thing is people's like knowledge around our services and what would
