:00:17. > :00:20.A drugs haul with an estimated street value of ?100 million
:00:21. > :00:24.may have been heading to Pwllheli, on the North Wales coast.
:00:25. > :00:26.Earlier this week a yacht carrying an estimated tonne
:00:27. > :00:30.of cocaine was intercepted by the Irish Navy in the Atlantic.
:00:31. > :00:33.National Crime Agency officers have been searching a boat seized
:00:34. > :00:36.from Pwllheli Marina which they believe was involved.
:00:37. > :00:56.Under close forensic examination, a 25 foot motor cruiser, that officers
:00:57. > :01:01.suspect of a transatlantic smuggling operation. It was a complex,
:01:02. > :01:05.details, multinational intelligence operation which led the National
:01:06. > :01:12.Crime Agency to this boat, and operations spanning half a globe
:01:13. > :01:21.from Venezuela to Wales. 200 miles south-west of Cork, the yacht is
:01:22. > :01:26.shadowed by an Irish Navy vessel. It was stormed by elite forces. On
:01:27. > :01:31.board, around ?100 million worth of cocaine, destined, it is believed,
:01:32. > :01:36.for the north-east of England. It is summer in the region of a tonne of
:01:37. > :01:42.cocaine, that is about just short of 5% of the entire UK consumption in
:01:43. > :01:46.any given year. The yacht was tracked by the British MCA and
:01:47. > :01:51.French customs out of Venezuelan. She put briefly into Trinidad before
:01:52. > :01:56.setting out on a transatlantic crossing. The intercept came 200
:01:57. > :02:00.miles of Mizen head in Ireland. Had she been allowed to continue, it is
:02:01. > :02:07.believed the vessel would have made a rendezvous with a smaller boat
:02:08. > :02:11.some way -- near Pwllheli. The yacht is now being held in Cork where its
:02:12. > :02:17.crew is being questioned by Irish police. The
:02:18. > :02:19.crew is being questioned by Irish operation. We trained for this quite
:02:20. > :02:25.rigorously and we evaluate ourselves to make sure we do it properly. The
:02:26. > :02:30.results are evident in how successful the operation was. This
:02:31. > :02:37.joint task force between ourselves, the customs and the police. This
:02:38. > :02:44.operation was about unity of command, unity of purpose and unity
:02:45. > :02:48.of effort, of all three agencies. This operation is far from over with
:02:49. > :02:54.suspects still being questioned in Ireland and here in the UK. National
:02:55. > :02:55.Crime Agency officers believe they are close to cracking a major
:02:56. > :02:58.smuggling ring. Welsh MPs helped to vote in favour
:02:59. > :03:01.of military action in Iraq earlier. Just five voted against as
:03:02. > :03:04.Parliament was recalled for the day. Before that,
:03:05. > :03:16.members debated the merits The Kurds we can to spend on
:03:17. > :03:20.although there are disputes between the Kurds and the Iraqi central
:03:21. > :03:24.doc-mac which will have to be resolved in some way. But I fully
:03:25. > :03:29.support this resolution. It is a footstep on the right direction. We
:03:30. > :03:33.are falling into a vortex in the middle east of hatred that is
:03:34. > :03:37.ancient and deep, and once we start this process, it will be almost
:03:38. > :03:40.impossible in the future to extricate ourselves from it.
:03:41. > :03:43.Here, the prospect of air strikes against Islamic State targets has
:03:44. > :03:45.been followed closely by the Iraqi and wider Muslim community.
:03:46. > :03:47.Our reporter Nick Palit has been around Cardiff

:04:26. > :04:31.taste of home. Do you think Britain should bomb Iraq ayes I think so. I
:04:32. > :04:38.think we should try and get rid of them. A few doors up, this man is of
:04:39. > :04:44.the same opinion. He is a Kurdish Iraqi, now a British citizen. He
:04:45. > :04:49.volunteers here and is angry that IS have hijacked his religion. I think
:04:50. > :04:56.Britain can stop them doing more of these things. Targeting people --
:04:57. > :05:01.killing people for no reason. It is Friday prayers at this mosque, just
:05:02. > :05:05.near city Road. Here, opinion is divided on whether air strike in

:05:09. > :05:14.Iraq are the best way of tackling with them but I do not take air
:05:15. > :05:19.strikes will help. Civilians will be... How many casualties we will

:05:42. > :05:45.still has relatives in his Kurdish homeland and has been following the
:05:46. > :05:49.debate in Parliament. Although he is in favour of air strikes and he does
:05:50. > :05:55.not wanted to go any further. We do not want any foreign foot in
:05:56. > :06:01.Kurdistan. Kurds could deal with the problem. All they need is, don't let
:06:02. > :06:07.us down again. Support Kurdistan, supported as they deserve. And then,
:06:08. > :06:16.I think that part of Kurdistan will be safe from the incursion of ISIL
:06:17. > :06:20.and in -- and their affiliates. Back on city Road, there are mixed views
:06:21. > :06:24.on whether air strikes on Iraq are the right course of action. But for
:06:25. > :06:27.many, it is there are mixed views on whether air strikes on Iraq are the
