:00:09. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories

:00:10. > :00:13.A summit to save the steel industry and the thousands of jobs in Wales

:00:14. > :00:31.I will be looking at the global steel industry. And looking at what

:00:32. > :00:33.the Welsh government can do to help it.

:00:34. > :00:35.But given European rules on governments helping industries

:00:36. > :00:49.and a global market, realistically, what can be done?

:00:50. > :00:53.infected meat from a butcher, but there will no new inquest

:00:54. > :01:18.He died from a school meal. That should not have happened.

:01:19. > :01:20.The inquest into the death of Gavin Williams.

:01:21. > :01:22.His commanding officer admits ordering that he should be

:01:23. > :01:26.Serious questions for Welsh Water tonight, after another day

:01:27. > :01:35.of leaving hundreds of customers in Pembrokeshire with no supply.

:01:36. > :01:41.It is quite difficult. We have got an old lady living here, aged 91.

:01:42. > :01:44.And those four-hour waits for trains after the Rugby World Cup.

:01:45. > :01:50.Railway bosses are summoned to explain what went wrong.

:01:51. > :01:54.It is a cornerstone of our economy, supporting thousands of jobs,

:01:55. > :01:59.but ministers admit the steel industry in Wales is now in crisis.

:02:00. > :02:02.BBC Wales has been told that Tata Steel is losing about ?1 million a

:02:03. > :02:08.day in Wales - its heaviest losses since the depths of the recession.

:02:09. > :02:10.Industry leaders met in Cardiff earlier, with the Economy Minister

:02:11. > :02:13.saying that she will look at whether business rates could be cut,

:02:14. > :02:24.Here is our Economics Correspondent, Sarah Dickins.

:02:25. > :02:35.A fatal industry to the country. Demand for steel has not recovered

:02:36. > :02:41.since the recession of 2008 and the market at home is facing particular

:02:42. > :02:47.problems. Here, steel makers of 2008 and the market at home is facing

:02:48. > :02:51.particular problems. Here, steelmakers business rates and cheap

:02:52. > :02:58.imports from Russia and China. The hype and also makes it difficult to

:02:59. > :03:07.settle to other countries. Very emotional. At the end of the day,

:03:08. > :03:18.there are young people with families. A couple of miles from the

:03:19. > :03:25.steelworks in Newport, the local factory has reopened. They say that

:03:26. > :03:34.United Kingdom government needs to support manufacturing. I think the

:03:35. > :03:39.government is to change the whole of that we they go about things. It

:03:40. > :03:44.seems to be a privilege service rather than manufacturing. The

:03:45. > :03:56.doctor handling 20% more cargo than the were a year ago,. There is

:03:57. > :04:02.always a balance, depending on the market. The pace of steel is

:04:03. > :04:12.governed by how much is wanted, how much that is indeed man. We were

:04:13. > :04:18.buying a lot to cope with the growth in the economy. That is slowing

:04:19. > :04:28.down. Cheaper imports mean that they are also affecting our market. Tata

:04:29. > :04:34.Steel Is reputed to be losing ?1 million a day. There is no sign that

:04:35. > :04:40.the letup in imports is going to stop. You need immediate help? Yes,

:04:41. > :04:46.this stuff that needs to happen immediately. We need action now. A

:04:47. > :04:52.message from the union companies that something needs to be done to

:04:53. > :04:57.help British steel and that in this country needs to be done quickly.

:04:58. > :04:59.She says she is listening but many of the problems are a with her

:05:00. > :05:00.control. After today's summit Sarah Dickins

:05:01. > :05:02.spoke to the Economy Minister and asked her what the

:05:03. > :05:05.Welsh Government could do to help We have got a lot of exciting

:05:06. > :05:09.proposals, in terms of development. We have got to make sure we have

:05:10. > :05:12.a steel industry It is not just a question of the

:05:13. > :05:18.procurement of government contracts. We have got to make sure that UK

:05:19. > :05:31.steel can go in and we have got to also do a lot

:05:32. > :05:34.more work with manufacturing I think there has got to be more

:05:35. > :05:39.of the pride in what we are People should feel the same way

:05:40. > :05:44.as the French and the Germans do. We both know that

:05:45. > :05:46.the French will buy French We have also got to get that

:05:47. > :05:56.message across to people. Under European level, we need to

:05:57. > :06:02.look at the rules and regulations regarding steel. They are a dated.

:06:03. > :06:07.All these things take time and the list Cheney steel waiting and

:06:08. > :06:11.Newport docks. The industry needs their help though. The industry has

:06:12. > :06:17.had a lot of help, in terms of the discussions. I think it is a

:06:18. > :06:26.problem. Because there is a problem. Because United Kingdom, that is the

:06:27. > :06:34.real issue. Russia have the ability to do that. You cannot load an

:06:35. > :06:40.industry like this to feel. How would that affect the defence

:06:41. > :06:45.sector? We have issues, but they are United Kingdom government issues.

:06:46. > :06:52.There are other issues. The likes of reducing small business rates would

:06:53. > :06:58.help. I know we will be accused of stated on these issues. But we will

:06:59. > :07:04.look at them. If you have the power to reduce business rates, why do you

:07:05. > :07:09.not do something tomorrow? We have to look at our budget. We have to

:07:10. > :07:18.look at that and that spending, with regard to other priorities. We also

:07:19. > :07:23.have constraints placed on us by the European Union. Even though you have

:07:24. > :07:31.these powers from this April, you cannot intervene at this point? I am

:07:32. > :07:35.going to take advice and have to look at the costings and the reality

:07:36. > :07:37.of whether I am able to do it. If you do something wrong, the European

:07:38. > :07:40.Commission deals with it. The mother of five-year-old

:07:41. > :07:42.Mason Jones, who died from e.coli in his school dinner in 2005,

:07:43. > :07:45.has told BBC Wales that she is considering legal action against

:07:46. > :07:47.the Crown Prosecution Service. Sharon Jeffreys' attempt to have

:07:48. > :07:50.a new inquest into her son's death She says the decision not to pursue

:07:51. > :07:58.a charge of manslaughter against the butcher who supplied

:07:59. > :08:01.the meat was wrong and has led to Caroline Evans spoke to her

:08:02. > :08:27.at her home in Hirwaun. It is ten years since he died after

:08:28. > :08:33.eating the infected meat. It is something we love with every day and

:08:34. > :08:35.we both think that we have failed him if we do not get this

:08:36. > :08:36.overturned. He was one of more than 150

:08:37. > :08:39.people infected by the e.coli bacteria,

:08:40. > :08:41.as it spread on meat supplied to 40 Tests found the exact same strain

:08:42. > :08:45.which killed Mason was present Its manager William John Tudor

:08:46. > :08:48.admitted breaking food safety laws and was jailed for a year,

:08:49. > :08:51.but a case of manslaughter The Crown Prosecution Service said

:08:52. > :08:56.there was not enough evidence. In 2010, the coroner decided

:08:57. > :08:58.he could not conclude Mason's death was unlawful.

:08:59. > :09:09.It left the family distraught. We do not feel that Mason as

:09:10. > :09:16.received proper justice. They appealed, but today, they have

:09:17. > :09:19.been told by the High Court that the decision will not be overturned and

:09:20. > :09:22.the inquest will not be reopened. Following the inquest,

:09:23. > :09:24.the coroner said he had considered a catalogue of horrific failures

:09:25. > :09:27.at the meat factory and that Mason had probably died as the result

:09:28. > :09:30.of eating meat prepared with Today, Sharon showed me

:09:31. > :09:34.a letter from the CPS admitting it had made a mistake in not pursuing

:09:35. > :09:37.a case for manslaughter and told me she is now considering

:09:38. > :09:53.legal action against them. I believe that this is a miscarriage

:09:54. > :09:59.of justice and we have been cheated out of justice because of a mistake

:10:00. > :10:06.that the CPS meat. We have thought all along to try and get some

:10:07. > :10:13.justice for him because we believe we were right and that it was an

:10:14. > :10:17.unlawful killing. But we think that the Wii that we were treated by the

:10:18. > :10:20.CPS was appalling. The scores

:10:21. > :10:22.on the doors rating system we now have on food outlets was

:10:23. > :10:25.a direct result of Mason's death. In 2009, the South Wales Ecoli

:10:26. > :10:27.Inquiry made tougher enforcement Mason's mother says it is

:10:28. > :10:31.a fitting legacy, but as the family see it, his death has not been

:10:32. > :10:49.recorded properly and they continue An inquest has here that a

:10:50. > :10:56.commanding officer had ordered that a soldier would be brought to him

:10:57. > :11:01.hot and sweaty soft and exercise. He died after heatstroke after an

:11:02. > :11:07.exercise after being told to carry out extensive exercise for drunken

:11:08. > :11:13.behaviour. His mother said he had phoned direction by joining the

:11:14. > :11:23.Army. Today, the inquest said that Gavin Williams was a one-man claims

:11:24. > :11:36.spree. Oil here, he was accused of drunkenness. He recalled to the

:11:37. > :11:43.inquest that Gavin Williams had staying with guests by spraying them

:11:44. > :11:45.with a fire extinguisher. He was told to bring Gavin to him hot and

:11:46. > :12:08.sweaty. The commanding officer said. In 28 degrees heat, he was ordered

:12:09. > :12:13.to march for one hour on the parade ground. A sanction known as bee

:12:14. > :12:19.sting, on one of the hottest days of the year. He was then told to carry

:12:20. > :12:24.out a second session in the gymnasium, but after collapsing, he

:12:25. > :12:29.was taken to a medical centre and lost consciousness. He died from

:12:30. > :12:35.heart failure. The men were acquitted of his manslaughter, but

:12:36. > :12:40.the judge raised concerns about the so-called bee sting practice within

:12:41. > :12:45.the army. They have no help from the man who oversaw all the soldiers

:12:46. > :12:50.pikemen. He said physical sanctions against them was appropriate in some

:12:51. > :12:56.circumstances. He says he felt let down by his two colleagues that

:12:57. > :13:01.they, who he says unbeknown to him carried out the second bee sting

:13:02. > :13:10.exercise of him in the gymnasium. He says he is haunted by what happened.

:13:11. > :13:14.He said not only the actions of their colleagues, but the way the

:13:15. > :13:20.feelings of the regiment. The inquest continues. They want the

:13:21. > :13:22.others to admit what else we have gone wrong that day.

:13:23. > :13:24.Plans for an M4 relief road around Newport would cost

:13:25. > :13:26."nowhere near" ?1 billion, according to First Minister Carwyn Jones.

:13:27. > :13:29.Mr Jones says the cost would be well below that, although he

:13:30. > :13:33.Previous plans were scrapped in 2009, when ministers said they

:13:34. > :13:39.Cardiff University says Germaine Greer will be giving

:13:40. > :13:42.a lecture at the university later this month, after all.

:13:43. > :13:45.It comes after the academic said she would not attend, after a petition

:13:46. > :13:48.The Students' Union's Women's Officer had objected to,

:13:49. > :14:03.what she called, Professor Greer's "trans-exclusionary views".

:14:04. > :14:05.Households in the areas of Crymych, Boncath, St Dogmaels,

:14:06. > :14:08.Tegryn and Nevern have been without running water since yesterday.

:14:09. > :14:09.Welsh Water has been distributing bottled water

:14:10. > :14:12.at four different locations, but supplies have now been restored

:14:13. > :14:23.to a number of households. Here's our reporter, Abilgail Neal.

:14:24. > :14:26.It was hoped supplies would be back up and running this morning, but

:14:27. > :14:40.We have got a water bucket on the ballot, which is handy for the

:14:41. > :14:43.toilets. We have got in old lady of 91 years old.

:14:44. > :14:45.It all began on Tuesday, when a high-pressure pipe leading from

:14:46. > :14:48.a water treatment works ruptured - at one point affecting homes

:14:49. > :14:59.from Whitland in Carmarthenshire all the way to Cardigan in Ceredigion.

:15:32. > :15:36.more, especially as he told me this is the third time this year the pipe

:15:55. > :15:57.for a third occasion. No it aim, people are seeing that the company

:15:58. > :15:59.must act. Welsh Water say they will, and are

:16:23. > :16:25.way, which means unsettled weather. Four people have been found guilty

:16:26. > :16:39.of conspiring to supply over ?5 million-worth of heroin - one

:16:40. > :16:41.of Wales' largest-ever seizures. The group were caught after 40kg

:16:42. > :16:44.of the drug was found during an undercover operation

:16:45. > :16:46.between 2013 and 2014. Cardiff Crown Court heard

:16:47. > :17:14.the group were responsible Police pulling over a suspect car.

:17:15. > :17:19.The car was followed across the border by undercover officers. What

:17:20. > :17:26.they discovered inside was staggering. 37 kilograms of heroin

:17:27. > :17:33.hidden inside a suitcase in this speaker. It was one of the largest

:17:34. > :17:37.seizures ever made by Welsh officers. Three kilograms were also

:17:38. > :17:45.found in this bank. In total, over 40 kilograms of heroin, with the

:17:46. > :17:52.street value of over ?5 million. Four people have been convicted for

:17:53. > :17:56.the part in this. Five others, including trusted lieutenants had

:17:57. > :18:04.already pleaded guilty. One woman pleaded guilty to money laundering.

:18:05. > :18:09.The jury were unable to return a verdict on one. The group were

:18:10. > :18:17.captured on CCTV in Newport and Cardiff. The operation involved

:18:18. > :18:25.fleeting meetings on street corners, mobile phones and sure amounts of

:18:26. > :18:31.cash. This is the moment one defendant was arrested at the petrol

:18:58. > :19:00.Cup matches in Cardiff were the worse of the entire tournament. That

:19:01. > :19:03.is what the organisers told an Assembly inquiry into the incidents

:19:04. > :19:06.which left thousands of fans queuing for up to four hours.

:19:07. > :19:10.Rail bosses insist organisers underestimated the number of fans

:19:11. > :19:12.expected in the capital. Here is our political correspondent,

:19:13. > :19:21.Arwyn Jones. These photos show just how

:19:22. > :19:23.overcrowded trains were following some of the rugby world cup matches

:19:24. > :19:26.held in Cardiff last month. Not the kind of scrum these fans

:19:27. > :19:29.were hoping to see. Other footage shows queues of up to

:19:30. > :19:33.three or four hours. Some fans had to make their own

:19:34. > :19:46.arrangements to get home. We know some people at the train

:19:47. > :19:58.station who had been queueing for up to three hours. We did not like the

:19:59. > :20:03.ambiguity of when we may get home. We just decided to get a fairly.

:20:04. > :20:06.So what went wrong? Why did so many thousands of fans

:20:07. > :20:07.have so much trouble leaving the capital?

:20:08. > :20:11.Today, a committee of AMs has been asking those questions in a special

:20:12. > :20:13.inquiry. One rail boss said there was not

:20:14. > :20:16.enough consideration from organisers in general about how fans get home.

:20:17. > :20:29.We do work very closely with the stadium and our partners. It does

:20:30. > :20:32.appear to be that they were agnostic as to how people were expected to

:20:33. > :20:34.travel back from the event. Overall, there were 48 games during

:20:35. > :20:37.the World Cup and organisers told the committee there were only

:20:38. > :20:39.transport issues with three of them - all in Cardiff.

:20:40. > :20:42.They said part of the problem was it took too long to get fans on trains

:20:43. > :20:56.in Cardiff. On September 22, we were told we

:20:57. > :21:01.should tell our audience that they should expect a queue of three to

:21:02. > :21:02.four hours. My response was you will not do that because that is not

:21:03. > :21:03.acceptable. The committee heard that part of the

:21:04. > :21:07.problem was fans not behaving as expected.

:21:08. > :21:09.Instead of having a few drinks or a meal in Cardiff after the match,

:21:10. > :21:12.tens of thousands of fans went straight for the train station here.

:21:13. > :21:15.And the volume of travellers was just overwhelming - three times

:21:16. > :21:18.greater than the capacity of this station.

:21:19. > :21:20.Events like the Rugby World Cup bring in millions of pounds to the

:21:21. > :21:23.capital, but unless transport issues are addressed, there are warnings it

:21:24. > :21:44.could see Cardiff missing out in I think we have under invested in
