:00:42. > :00:43.to sit up and watch? The call to revamp some Assembly

:00:44. > :00:59.sessions. It seems more exciting in

:01:00. > :01:01.Westminster because you have a historical romance the parties fight

:01:07. > :01:23.Now Aberystwyth's former magistrates court is going under the hammer.

:01:24. > :01:28.A court has heard how the boss of a charity withdrew thousands of pounds

:01:29. > :01:33.from the organisation's bank account to reduce his own credit card bill.

:01:34. > :01:36.Naz Malik ran the now defunct All Wales Ethnic Minority Association

:01:37. > :01:44.Cemlyn Davies was at Swansea Crown court.

:01:45. > :01:54.For 12 years between 2000 and 2012, the All Wales Ethnic Minority

:01:55. > :01:59.Association existed to promote equality and diversity in Wales. The

:02:00. > :02:02.publicly funded charity received a grant of ?100,000 from the Welsh

:02:03. > :02:11.government map as well as many from the EU and the egg lottery fund. The

:02:12. > :02:18.chief executive, Naz Malik, stands accused of fraud. He used the money

:02:19. > :02:21.to reduce his own debts. Today, Swansea Crown Court said that he

:02:22. > :02:27.would leave signed and blank cheques in a drawer, to be used in

:02:28. > :02:34.emergencies. The prosecution said that in March 2010, Naz Malik Asper

:02:35. > :02:41.one of the checks to cover his expenses. The jury heard he was

:02:42. > :02:47.given a cheque that was signed and blank. It was claimed he gave that

:02:48. > :02:52.check a value of ?2500 and used it to reduce his credit card bill. The

:02:53. > :02:56.court was then told Naz Malik took a second check while he was away one

:02:57. > :03:03.day and used it to be ?9,340 second check while he was away one

:03:04. > :03:08.his personal bank account. At the second check while he was away one

:03:09. > :03:16.time, in August 2010, the amount outstanding on his credit

:03:17. > :03:19.time, in August 2010, the amount also ?9,340. The third allegation

:03:20. > :03:27.relates to a life assurance policy taken out on behalf of his wife. The

:03:28. > :03:29.prosecution says the policy was paid for dishonestly through his bank

:03:30. > :03:37.account, with monthly direct debit payments of nearly ?90 being made

:03:38. > :03:42.from early 2008 two early 2012, adding up to a total of more than

:03:43. > :04:02.?3500. Naz Malik denies all three counts of fraud and the trial

:04:03. > :04:08.continues. Ched Evans was convicted of rape. Now there is speculation is

:04:09. > :04:14.that he may return to the club. In April 2012, Ched Evans, a Wales

:04:15. > :04:19.international football player was convicted of rape. He was found

:04:20. > :04:24.guilty of raping a woman at this hotel and jailed for five years. The

:04:25. > :04:29.25-year-old, who is appealing against his conviction, is due to be

:04:30. > :04:35.released in October and now there is growing speculation that he may

:04:36. > :04:37.re-sign for his former club. Those closest to him say that he should be

:04:38. > :04:41.given a might well he fights to clear his

:04:42. > :04:51.name. might well he fights to clear his

:04:52. > :04:52.throughout, and a lot of people believe that his innocence

:04:53. > :04:58.throughout, and a lot of people supportive of his appeal and his

:04:59. > :05:05.main aim is to clear his name and return to his job as a professional

:05:06. > :05:11.football player. The majority of fans may well come Ched Evans back,

:05:12. > :05:16.but this petition has been signed by more than 60,000 people, not all of

:05:17. > :05:21.them fans. I have been reading the comments. Some say they want to see

:05:22. > :05:25.a strong stand against sexual assault. Another says that if he

:05:26. > :05:28.returns to the club, they will no longer go to games. Rape campaigners

:05:29. > :05:35.say they understand the longer go to games. Rape campaigners

:05:36. > :05:39.Evans immediately after his release sends a dangerous message to young

:05:40. > :05:44.fans. The poll with sporting talents are lauded and celebrated and held

:05:45. > :05:51.up even as he rose and certainly as role models to young people and that

:05:52. > :05:55.is a very mixed and potentially damaging message to send to the

:05:56. > :06:02.younger fans or Sheffield United, that it is absolutely fine to aspire

:06:03. > :06:06.to be like this person. The parents of those future football players in

:06:07. > :06:12.Cardiff are equally torn about his possible return.

:06:13. > :06:15.Cardiff are equally torn about his but he has served his time and it is

:06:16. > :06:20.a job like any other job, so he should be allowed to do that job. I

:06:21. > :06:26.think it is a terrible idea, kids learn from the football stars and

:06:27. > :06:31.people they look up to. It is not unheard of for footballers to return

:06:32. > :06:34.to their clubs after serving prison sentences. Luke McCormick was jailed

:06:35. > :06:39.for causing the death of two children in a car crash in 2008. He

:06:40. > :06:44.was then sacked by his club, but after serving half of his sentence

:06:45. > :06:45.and brief stints with other clubs, she was re-signed

:06:46. > :06:49.and brief stints with other clubs, Plymouth. Sheffield United have been

:06:50. > :06:56.in contact with Ched Evans following his conviction as part of its duty

:06:57. > :06:57.of care to its former employees, but would not contact -- comment today

:06:58. > :07:02.on his future with the club. A five-year deal has been signed to

:07:03. > :07:04.bring the motorcycling's It will be held

:07:05. > :07:08.at the new ?300 million Circuit of Wales race track near Ebbw Vale,

:07:09. > :07:11.which has yet to be built. There is also

:07:12. > :07:13.an option to extend the deal The Heads of the

:07:14. > :07:17.Valleys Development Company say the race track will create thousands of

:07:18. > :07:33.jobs, but doubts have been raised If everything had gone in accordance

:07:34. > :07:36.to the original plan, this entire area would now be a hive of

:07:37. > :07:41.activity, building work would be going on all around me to create a

:07:42. > :07:44.world-class motor racing circuit here to host some of the most

:07:45. > :07:50.prestigious events in the world along with leisure, research and

:07:51. > :07:56.retail opportunities all around here. Instead, it is still just an

:07:57. > :07:59.empty field. But that doesn't seem to worry the developers, who gave

:08:00. > :08:04.news today many had been waiting for. We are very proud to be here

:08:05. > :08:09.today to announce that we have signed an agreement for five years

:08:10. > :08:14.starting in 2015 and with the possibility to extend that. The

:08:15. > :08:18.company behind the Circuit Of Wales now have the promotion rights for

:08:19. > :08:26.the pinnacle of motorbike racing. The British round of the world

:08:27. > :08:31.Championships. They won't seems like this in your Ebbw Vale in 2016. We

:08:32. > :08:36.have the contract to promote the area for up to ten years. We're in

:08:37. > :08:41.negotiations with various other circuits around UK to host things in

:08:42. > :08:52.2015 and we're on schedule to have it for 2016. We want them to those

:08:53. > :08:57.in 16 will be in any doubt will stop we have all the guarantees for 2016.

:08:58. > :09:04.If not, we will discuss again with our promoter the situation. It has

:09:05. > :09:09.taken nearly two years to get to this point. In November 2011, plans

:09:10. > :09:13.for a world-class motor racing circuit were first floated. The

:09:14. > :09:16.following year, the heads of the Valleys Development Company chose

:09:17. > :09:21.the site and started to ask people what they thought. Last year, the

:09:22. > :09:26.environment watchdog said the plans should be rejected, because of the

:09:27. > :09:31.effect on the environment. Alun Davies, local assembly member, was

:09:32. > :09:34.accused of breaching rules by using his government e-mail address to

:09:35. > :09:38.lobby the environment or the about their objections. They said their

:09:39. > :09:46.concerns have been addressed and that Mr Davies had had no effect on

:09:47. > :09:50.their decision. In July last year, the council approved outline

:09:51. > :09:55.planning permission. The first hurdle in a long process past. ?30

:09:56. > :09:58.million of public money is being sought to help build the racing

:09:59. > :10:04.circuit. Some have questioned whether 6000 jobs could really be

:10:05. > :10:09.created. I think today is all about spin, to be honest. The fact that

:10:10. > :10:12.this contract has been publicised, it really doesn't mean anything,

:10:13. > :10:17.because if the track is not built, the contract will be ripped up.

:10:18. > :10:21.There has got to be a contract in there somewhere. Whatever happens,

:10:22. > :10:24.it will not be ready next year, so the first race of this ten year

:10:25. > :10:29.contract will be held outside of Wales. Much will be is being pinned

:10:30. > :10:35.on the circuit being built. According to those who live nearby.

:10:36. > :10:39.People are in the position, they understand things take a long time

:10:40. > :10:43.but when you are sat with no work and nothing to do, you want it

:10:44. > :10:49.today, you don't want it to six years down the line on a promise,

:10:50. > :10:55.you want something definite, you know, rather than perhaps... The

:10:56. > :10:59.developers hope that today's announcement will give people hope,

:11:00. > :11:00.but many more hurdles will have to be overcome if this field is to

:11:01. > :11:06.become erased track. So Paul big promises today but

:11:07. > :11:16.still many questions unanswered. A big milestone today, no doubt

:11:17. > :11:18.about that, this is a big international company giving its

:11:19. > :11:23.backing to a very significant development in a potentially very

:11:24. > :11:26.deprived part of Wales. It is readily capping precisely what this

:11:27. > :11:31.agreement says. It says that the head of the valley developing

:11:32. > :11:34.company have the rights to the championship, to decide essentially

:11:35. > :11:37.where it is held over the next five years. It will be in England next

:11:38. > :11:42.year, because the track has not been built yet. In 2016, they want to

:11:43. > :11:45.hold it in Wales at the Circuit Of Wales if it is built. The question

:11:46. > :11:50.of what will happen if it is not built, they have said we will cross

:11:51. > :11:53.that bridge when they come to it. There may be some renegotiation.

:11:54. > :11:57.That is where the questions that comment. One other thing worth

:11:58. > :12:01.mentioning. I am sure everyone is aware of the difficulties with

:12:02. > :12:06.unemployment in the area. This has the ability to have a huge impact in

:12:07. > :12:10.that area, because this is not just about racing, it is about job

:12:11. > :12:11.opportunities too. Lots of questions and still a long way to go. Thank

:12:12. > :12:14.you. Unemployment is continuing

:12:15. > :12:16.to fall in Wales. The latest figures show there are

:12:17. > :12:20.now 97,000 people out of work. That's 3,000 fewer

:12:21. > :12:22.in the last three months, and But the rate of unemployment

:12:23. > :12:27.has returned to being higher And the average pay is now

:12:28. > :12:35.lower than a year ago. Welsh patients who suffer cardiac

:12:36. > :12:38.arrests will be given a jab of salt water by paramedics instead

:12:39. > :12:41.of adrenalin as part of an NHS Although Adrenaline has been used

:12:42. > :12:46.since the 1960s, research from Japan and the United States suggests it

:12:47. > :12:51.could reduce survival rates. The trial will involve 8,000

:12:52. > :12:54.patients here in Wales and The Welsh Ambulance Service say it's

:12:55. > :12:57.important to obtain the best evidence, to provide

:12:58. > :13:01.the best treatment possible. A new site is being sought

:13:02. > :13:04.for an anti-Nato "peace camp" in Newport, during the summit

:13:05. > :13:08.of world leaders next month, after People in the Pill area

:13:09. > :13:12.of the city were angry at protesters' plans to use playing

:13:13. > :13:15.fields near a community centre. The "No Nato Newport"

:13:16. > :13:18.campaign group will now discuss possible alternative sites with

:13:19. > :13:23.Newport council. Meanwhile, the Royal Mint has

:13:24. > :13:26.created a limited edition memento Only 150 of the bronze commemorative

:13:27. > :13:33.coins will be struck at Llantrisant, with all 57 Newport schools also

:13:34. > :13:36.being given one each. One side features a map of Wales,

:13:37. > :13:49.the other side has It is important to think about where

:13:50. > :13:53.they're going to call. They are going to go into the offices of

:13:54. > :13:59.heads of state, the leaders of many of the major countries the world.

:14:00. > :14:05.Think about one sitting in the oval Office, in the White House, and in a

:14:06. > :14:07.host of other heads of state which are completely different from each

:14:08. > :14:09.other. Do certain sessions in the Assembly

:14:10. > :14:11.need an overhaul? The Conservatives say the way

:14:12. > :14:14.the First Minister is scrutinised needs to be revamped to help

:14:15. > :14:16.improve public faith Andrew RT Davies also thinks

:14:17. > :14:20.the First Minister should make an annual appearance before a committee

:14:21. > :14:23.of Welsh MPs in Westminster. Our political reporter Paul Martin

:14:24. > :14:27.reports. It's just passed its 15th birthday -

:14:28. > :14:30.is it time Although First Minister Questions

:14:31. > :14:46.isn't without its flashpoints... How can you be so flippant in the

:14:47. > :14:49.face of such proposals, that for five months one of our major health

:14:50. > :14:55.boards will not be undertaking such procedures -Mark he is either

:14:56. > :14:57.setting out to be disingenuous or he has not listened to the answer.

:14:58. > :15:00.Assembly debates have in the past been criticised as boring.

:15:01. > :15:07.At least when compared to the weekly goings on at Westminster.

:15:08. > :15:15.Order, order. You really are very over excitable.

:15:16. > :15:18.Some might say that's a good thing, and that rowdy PMQs is no model to

:15:19. > :15:21.follow - but just how much interest is there in Assembly proceedings?

:15:22. > :15:23.Wales has been home to many colourful politicians.

:15:24. > :15:25.We asked people at the Lloyd George Museum in Llanystumdwy

:15:26. > :15:27.near Criccieth whether Wales could learn anything

:15:28. > :15:42.It does seem more exciting in Westminster because you have a

:15:43. > :15:47.historical room and there is more excitement about it. Being

:15:48. > :15:51.politicians, they often don't answer questions properly. They are void

:15:52. > :15:57.and don't give an answer. To get the public more interested

:15:58. > :16:01.in what goes on in here, and to improve scrutiny, the Conservatives

:16:02. > :16:03.think changes are needed. They want FMQs to be more topical

:16:04. > :16:07.and for it to be moved from its 1.30pm slot to later in the day so

:16:08. > :16:21.more people have chance to watch it. It is a lot to ask because many

:16:22. > :16:24.people are not interested in politics, but I think there is an

:16:25. > :16:29.opportunity to change the way that we work, so that we can break into

:16:30. > :16:31.the news cycle for public consumption in the evening and

:16:32. > :16:33.morning slot, when we have topical news.

:16:34. > :16:35.One former first minister now has grandchildren and chicken rather

:16:36. > :16:37.than opposition politicians to keep him on his toes.

:16:38. > :16:45.He's not sure moving FMQs would boost public interest in it.

:16:46. > :16:51.That means it is tagged on at the end of assembly business and will be

:16:52. > :16:58.the last thing before everyone goes home, and I don't know whether you

:16:59. > :17:02.can sort of build up to it. When everybody has started to think about

:17:03. > :17:07.going home and eating their evening meal. I am a bit doubtful, but I

:17:08. > :17:11.would give it consideration. The presiding officer

:17:12. > :17:13.Rosemary Butler says she's committed to reform and improved scrutiny, but

:17:14. > :17:16.is surprised at Andrew RT Davies's public comments, because all four

:17:17. > :17:19.parties had chance to contribute to a review of the way Assembly

:17:20. > :17:22.business is done earlier this year. It's been a police station,

:17:23. > :17:27.a dentist surgery, even a TV set. Aberystwyth's former magistrates

:17:28. > :17:39.court is going under the hammer. After super cup success, has Wales

:17:40. > :17:42.done enough to prove it is ready for more top-flight European games?

:17:43. > :17:45.After the months of studying, weeks of revising and days

:17:46. > :17:48.of exams, tomorrow is the big day for thousands

:17:49. > :17:52.of young people across Wales as they get their A level results.

:17:53. > :17:57.For many, it'll be great news, but what if it doesn't quite go to plan?

:17:58. > :18:07.Our education correspondent, Arwyn Jones, reports

:18:08. > :18:14.It is a site which will no repeated across Wales tomorrow, as

:18:15. > :18:18.thousands of youngsters get their results. Many will get what they

:18:19. > :18:23.want and go on to university or to find a job, but for those who don't

:18:24. > :18:30.get the grades they need all is not lost. They could look at free

:18:31. > :18:36.sitting there in exams at college, to apply again for the same course

:18:37. > :18:39.next year, or they could go through the clearing system to see what else

:18:40. > :18:49.is available, and of course there are apprenticeships or job

:18:50. > :18:51.placements for young people. Around two thirds of students from Welsh

:18:52. > :18:57.universities get a job after graduating, slightly under the UK

:18:58. > :19:02.average. Their average salary is ?20,000. Upon last year, but still a

:19:03. > :19:06.little less than the UK average of ?21,000. Students here like Adam get

:19:07. > :19:11.far less support than elsewhere, with the Welsh government paying

:19:12. > :19:15.most of their tuition fees. The debts do build up, but people cope,

:19:16. > :19:19.people find once they have a job they are OK. It is not much of an

:19:20. > :19:24.issue, I think the figures are just to scare people. Even if the grant

:19:25. > :19:31.was not available, I think universities would still be fine.

:19:32. > :19:34.Sophie from Swansea will take a year out before going to university and

:19:35. > :19:38.has a job at the local supermarket in the meantime. You have more

:19:39. > :19:43.opportunities with a degree, and I think the independence is important

:19:44. > :19:47.because it you can stand on your own two feet and find your way in the

:19:48. > :19:52.world for yourself. Of his is support, but I think it is a good

:19:53. > :19:59.thing to make you grow up a bit. If things don't go cramming to plan,

:20:00. > :20:04.the clearing service can help you to get to university. But of course,

:20:05. > :20:09.higher education is not everything. Here at the British Gas training

:20:10. > :20:15.centre, they get 50 aggregations for every one of their 1200

:20:16. > :20:18.apprenticeships. I chose to do an apprenticeship, because I feel that

:20:19. > :20:22.training and working in the field gives you more experience, where as

:20:23. > :20:28.compared to exams, you train for two years, qualify, get a job and then

:20:29. > :20:34.you get your experience. Three very different routes to take after

:20:35. > :20:35.exams, but the message is the same. There are plenty opportunities out

:20:36. > :20:36.there. So the wait for tens of thousands

:20:37. > :20:39.of young people is nearly over. They'll find out

:20:40. > :20:40.whether they've got their A-level On tomorrow's programme -

:21:35. > :21:39.2009. Paul Williams from the council should be around the building, and

:21:40. > :21:44.even though now it is unused, it is still very grand. It is a fantastic

:21:45. > :21:48.building, it is a beautiful building, it is a difficult building

:21:49. > :21:52.to do something with I think, but hopefully someone will come up with

:21:53. > :21:58.a good design and get the most out of it. Apart from council offices

:21:59. > :22:02.and eight Magistrates' Court, the building has had many uses over the

:22:03. > :22:06.years, including a police station, dental office, and TV drama set,

:22:07. > :22:09.used in the BBC crime series Hinterland. The TV

:22:10. > :22:11.used in the BBC crime series many parts of this building,

:22:12. > :22:16.used in the BBC crime series was a hospital corridor in the show,

:22:17. > :22:21.leading onto wards, but in real life it leads to the old police station.

:22:22. > :22:25.leading onto wards, but in real life short, but one part which was was of

:22:26. > :22:31.course the old police cells, and all of this will be going under the

:22:32. > :22:36.hammer. Catalogue for the first auction. At the local archives,

:22:37. > :22:40.there is a record of the first time it went up for auction. We can see

:22:41. > :22:46.the sort of rooms they had there. Five servants dormitories, 35 bed

:22:47. > :22:56.chambers, sitting rooms, Billy dreams, coffee rooms, it was a very

:22:57. > :22:59.extensive and very luxury Hotel. To return it to those grand days, this

:23:00. > :23:01.property will need a lot of money and work. It will go up for auction

:23:02. > :23:03.later this year. The organisers of last night's UEFA

:23:04. > :23:06.Super Cup in Cardiff say Wales has proved it can host more big European

:23:07. > :23:09.football matches in future. The Welsh FA is bidding to host

:23:10. > :23:11.several international fixtures The continent's top football

:23:12. > :23:15.officials were in the capital for the game, which was won

:23:16. > :23:30.by Gareth Bale's team Real Madrid. It was certainly a good thing for

:23:31. > :23:36.Wales to host the super cup. When the famous stars took the field, it

:23:37. > :23:42.felt easy to imagine but these sort of occasions could happen more often

:23:43. > :23:45.in future. For once, the nearest and dearest of the players did not have

:23:46. > :23:52.far to travel to watch the players play. He had something to celebrate

:23:53. > :23:57.to set up Cristiano Aldo for Madrid's first call. Quite right

:23:58. > :24:02.that he insisted on sharing the credit with the Welshman. It is

:24:03. > :24:07.special for me to be here, and the most important thing is to do the

:24:08. > :24:10.best you can on the pitch. It is a bit different, but I have thoroughly

:24:11. > :24:15.enjoyed it. My family and friends were all supporting us, and the home

:24:16. > :24:18.crowd has been amazing. Officials are keeping a careful eye on the

:24:19. > :24:23.organisation of the match as well as the scorer. The ability of Cardiff

:24:24. > :24:28.to run a major event will be foremost in their eyes when they

:24:29. > :24:32.decide whether or not to bid for more major events. Before the super

:24:33. > :24:38.cup kicked off, top officials were given a guided tour of this stadium,

:24:39. > :24:42.which will host matches in 2020, if the Welsh bid is successful. Work is

:24:43. > :24:47.underway to lay a new synthetic pitch and a state-of-the-art podcast

:24:48. > :24:59.system, which will all help to enhance the bed. -- enhance the bed.

:25:00. > :25:02.UEFA were not willing to comment this afternoon, but the Welsh team

:25:03. > :25:11.are confident they did do a good job. The organising committee can

:25:12. > :25:15.deliver. It is going to be difficult, and what they don't want

:25:16. > :25:19.is to have lots of problems venues, so hopefully they have seen from

:25:20. > :25:25.working with us on this event that we can to liver. The evening ended

:25:26. > :25:29.with another medal as Real Madrid lifted their third major trophy in a

:25:30. > :25:32.matter of months, but it is Cardiff as the sports venue that may turn

:25:33. > :25:38.out to be the real winner from last night's game.

:25:39. > :25:42.It doesn't feel much like summer at the moment with

:25:43. > :25:46.There's more showers on the way tomorrow but I can

:25:47. > :25:50.promise some sunshine as well and if you're lucky you may see a rainbow.

:25:51. > :25:55.Not as intense as recently but still a few heavy ones.

:25:56. > :26:00.A lot of dry weather, though, at the Vale of Glamorgan show.

:26:01. > :26:03.This evening scattered showers will become confined mainly to the coast.

:26:04. > :26:05.Many inland parts becoming dry and clear for a time.

:26:06. > :26:07.However, more showers will arrive later in the night.

:26:08. > :26:10.Temperature inland falling as low as 10 or 11 Celsius.

:26:11. > :26:13.Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure over Norway.

:26:14. > :26:17.And a trough will move through Wales during the day.

:26:18. > :26:18.So here's the picture for the morning.

:26:19. > :26:21.The north coast may be dry but there will showers in the north.

:26:22. > :26:24.Further south some places dry and bright

:26:25. > :26:28.During the day showers in the north will spread SE.

:26:29. > :26:31.Heavy downpours in places with a risk of thunder and hail.

:26:32. > :26:34.Later in the afternoon it should dry and brighten in the north

:26:35. > :26:37.Temperatures a little lower than today.

:26:38. > :26:40.Up to 19 in Pembrey with a west to north-westerly breeze.

:26:41. > :26:42.Tomorrow evening heavy showers will clear.

:26:43. > :26:44.Most of the country dry overnight bar the odd lighter shower.

:26:45. > :26:47.Temperature in rural Mid Wales falling below 10 Celsius.

:26:48. > :26:53.Mainly in the north and east but most of them light.

:26:54. > :26:55.The SW and Pembrokeshire may stay dry all day.

:26:56. > :26:56.As for the weekend, Saturday mostly dry.

:26:57. > :27:00.Perhaps a little rain later in the day.

:27:01. > :27:03.Some rain clearing to sunny spells and a few showers.

:27:04. > :27:05.So not the best for August with some chilly nights

:27:06. > :27:20.but there is a hint of high pressure towards the end of next week.

:27:21. > :27:22.A reminder of our main story tonight:

:27:23. > :27:26.A court has heard how the boss of a charity withdrew thousands of pounds

:27:27. > :27:30.from the organisation's bank account to reduce his own credit card bill.

:27:31. > :27:32.Naz Malik, who ran the now defunct All Wales

:27:33. > :27:38.Ethnic Minority Association, denies three counts of fraud.
