Edinburgh, on the vote that could reshape Britain. Now we join the | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
news teams Good evening. | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
Scottish independence could fuel demands for | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
more self government here. That's according to the leader of | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, who's been in Scotland to campaign for a Yes | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
vote in the independence referendum. The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
will join the No campaign tomorrow. Here's our political | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
correspondent Daniel Davies. Is the UK coming apart? | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
The UK government hopes not and it has offered Scots more | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
devolution if they vote no in next week's referendum on independence. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
But what about Wales? First Minister, Carwyn Jones, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
says further devolution for Scotland should mean more | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
devolution for Wales. In Glasgow today, Leanne Wood, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
the leader of Plaid Cymru, hit the campaign trail with | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
the Scottish Nationalists. She says Carwyn Jones' call for more | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
devolution is a sign of panic, because opinion polls are moving | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
in the yes campaign's favour. I think there is every possibility | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
that there will be a knock-on effect when people in Wales, who | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
are suffering from austerity, many people who are working hard and | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
finding it difficult to make ends meet will look to what is happening | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
here in Scotland, will see a successful economy, will see | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
a government that wants to provide social protection for its citizens, | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
and I think people in Wales will want the opportunity to do some | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
of that for ourselves to. Why not? | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Tomorrow, the First Minister will arrive in | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Scotland and urge Scots to vote no. He wanted supporters | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
of the union to offer a future vision of devolution across the UK, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
including in Wales, so this is a clear alternative to independence. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
This Welsh Labour peer says some people in London may only now be | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
waking up to the idea that Scotland just might vote yes. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Carwyn Jones has been calling for a constitutional convention | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
for over two years. Nobody has listened to him and, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
at last, people are starting to pay | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
attention. The fact is, | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
we should have been discussing this for a number of years. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
And one of the reasons why it is imperative | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
that Scotland stays with us is that it will be good for Wales. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Since 2011, the Welsh Assembly has had full | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
lawmaking in powers devolved fields, such as health and education. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Powers to borrow money and vary some taxes are being devolved. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
These could include some control over how much income tax we pay, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
but only after a referendum. But what next? | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Carwyn Jones says full control over income tax shouldn't be devolved, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
even if it happens in Scotland and, despite Leanne Wood's hopes, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
opinion polls suggest changes in Scotland will not make Welsh | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
independence more popular. This company in Swansea, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
which supplied the flags for last week's NATO summit, thinks it might | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
benefit from Scottish independence. I think that, if Scotland went out | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
of the UK, it will mean more business for us, because England is | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
a big friend of Wales commercially and monetarily, so I think that it | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
would actually be a good thing. Probably not the right thing to say, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
but I think it will be a good thing for us. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
Many say the contest in Scotland is now too close to call. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Whatever the result, there are bound to be implications for Wales. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
While Scots decide how to vote, politicians here are wondering what | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
will happen to Wales, whether or not the union is broken. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
The Prime Minister, in the House of Commons today, thanked Wales | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
60 world leaders gathered at the Celtic Manor in Newport last week. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
David Cameron described the event as a successful coming together | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
I want to thank the local council in Newport, the Welsh Assembly, the | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
First Minister, the secretary of state, our armed services and police | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
and all those who worked so hard to deliver a safe and secure and | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
successful summit, the biggest gathering of world leaders I think | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
that has ever taken place in our country, but most of all, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
I want to thank the Welsh people for the incredibly warm welcome | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
The Swansea-born Conservative MP, Nigel Evans, | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
has tonight been reselected by his local party to contest next | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The former Shadow Welsh Secretary was found not guilty of nine sexual | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Members of his Ribble Valley constituency backed him | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
Home care services for elderly and vulnerable people in Powys have | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
This follows the council announcing it was ending one company's | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
contract, just months after a re-organisation That's prompted an | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
contract, just months after a re-organisation. That's prompted a | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Montgomeryshire Assembly member to call for an investigation into the | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
64-year-old Tony Ferris from Welshpool is one | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
of more than 1000 people in Powys who need care at home. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
The former paratrooper lost both his legs as a result of diabetes. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
he used to receive home visits from a carer, but since the changes, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
it became so unreliable, he cancelle it and relies on private help. | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
We're all vulnerable, to a certain extent, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
and there are ladies and gentlemen older than me, | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
younger than me, that are much more vulnerable than me | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
that must be frightened to death at the moment, and I'm sure... | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
This is a very extreme thing to say, that it will cause deaths. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
It will cause illness, it will cause more hospitalisation, simply because | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
of the worry that people have got of what's going on in the future. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
At the time of reorganisation, the council moved care | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
provisions from around 20 companies to just four. | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
The council also said it would carry out a review, | :05:53. | :06:13. | |
but there are now calls for that to be made public. | :06:14. | :06:27. | |
I think the council made a huge botch up of the job | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
but we are where are now and the priority has got to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
be having proper care for vulnerable and elderly people in our community, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
which hasn't been the case since May. | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
Gladys Perks runs TLC in Llanidloes, which until the reorganisation | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
provided home care for around 150 people. | :06:42. | :06:42. | |
The agency missed out on a new contract from the council | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
and believes, after the termination of the existing agreement, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Not just mine, there's other good agencies out there and some | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
agencies are being put out of work, because they just can't cope. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
They should be fetching other agencies back in. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
The carers will work for these agencies, | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
because they know them and hopefully that they will come back. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
The company Reach said they had been unable to overcome | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
significant challenges in a problematic transition process, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
they believe there's been very little care in this whole process. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Some of the world's best cyclists were in North Wales today | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
as the Tour of Britain made its way through Wrexham, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
The stage, which finished at the Great Orme in Llandudno, was | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Football and Wales had their first run-out on Andorra's artificial | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
pitch ahead of tomorrow's opening European Championship qualifier. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Wales will be overwhelming favourites to win against | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Normally, it maybe a bit of a different | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
bounce, not too different, obviously it's not grass, but football is | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
football at the end of the day and we just have to get on with it. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
And apart from talking to you guys, we don't talk about it that much. | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
