events in Paris tonight, eye Will. Our shouts -- | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A promise that 90% of the country will have mobile | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And despite two goals, a disappointing start for | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
Mobile phone coverage across Wales is set for big improvements over the | :00:15. | :00:36. | |
next few years, but many of us will still be left without a signal. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Ofcom, the telecommunications regulator, says phone companies | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
should deliver call coverage to 90% of the country by 2017. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
But there's concern in rural parts of Wales that they | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
will be the ones left behind, with calls for Government intervention. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
They've changed the way we live our lives, a revolution sitting | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
Put simply, we've come to rely on our mobile phones. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
That's why we get so cross when they don't work. | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
In September, we spoke to Wayne Evans in Newtown. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Mobile coverage there was falling well short | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Today, representatives of the big four operators - | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
O2, EE, Vodafone and Three - were in Newtown | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
to meet people from across mid Wales. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
There have been improvements, they said. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
So we asked Wayne, how much have things changed | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It's still the same issues still ongoing. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Signal dropping, calls being dropped, | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
text messages not coming through. It's the same. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Here in Newtown, the mobile companies insist that | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Signals are getting a boost, apparently. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
But it's in the countryside that the real problem persists. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
There, you can't improve coverage by simply flicking a switch. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
It all boils down to geography and population. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
The companies make their cash by selling their contracts. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
There is little incentive to put up masts where few people live. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
In geographical terms, that leaves much of rural Wales | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
A third of two Welsh counties, Powys and Ceredigion, | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
still don't have any form of coverage. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Now we are told that by the end of 2017, you will be able to make | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
calls from 90% of the land area of Wales, and 95% of us will have | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Even if you meet your 2017 commitments, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
there will still be lots of people living in rural Wales who | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
We have an obligation to roll out to 98% of the population of the UK, and | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
There is a role for government, especially when it comes to making | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
There is also a role for Ofcom, the regulator, when they issue | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
licensing, that they take into account that rural areas | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
It seems most of us in Wales will see great improvement in | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
our mobile coverage over the next few years, but there will remain | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
quite a few of us caught on the wrong side of this great | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
A cub scout leader who used the internet to prey on young girls | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
has been given a 10 year sentence at Cardiff Crown Court. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
He was caught by police as he booked into a Bridgend hotel | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
The judge said Scott Nicholls, from Taunton, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Described by the prosecution today as predatory and persistent, | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
these images show the moment Scott Nicholls booked into a | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Premier Inn in Bridgend, believing he would meet a 12-year-old girl he | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
In fact, it was an undercover officer who was waiting. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
His arrest led police to uncover a mass of material, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
in all, more than 2,000 indecent images. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
They also discovered that he had shared 860 of these online. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
In all, he pleaded guilty to 19 offences, including possessing | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
and distributing indecent pictures and videos, | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
The prosecution told the court that Nicholls had volunteered to work | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
at the London Olympics, and in his hometown of Taunton, he had been | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
a cub scout leader and an ambulance care assistant, all activities which | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
could have brought him into contact with children. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
In another disturbing twist, the prosecution said he had filmed | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
videos of children around his hometown. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
He was caught by specialist South Wales police officers who uncovered | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
e-mails and online posts he had sent to girls as young as ten. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Today, the police said the commitment of the team had | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
ensured that he was detained before an innocent child was ever abused. | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Sentencing him, the judge said he posed a high risk of serious harm to | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
children, and it was a worrying aspect of the case that he was both | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
a scoutmaster and had volunteered for the Ambulance Service. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Of the ten year sentence, up to six will be behind bars, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
after which he may be considered for parole, but would remain | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
And he will be placed on the sex offenders' register. | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
Anyone using the Severn crossings will have to | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
The price for cars rises 10p to ?6.60. | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
And HGVs and buses will pay ?19.80, up 20p. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
The new tolls are confirmed every year in a Parliamentary Order, | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Businesses in Wales can benefit from the construction of a new | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
That's according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Hinkley Point C, which is only 14 miles across the Bristol Channel | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
from Barry, will cost ?18 billion pounds and create 25,000 jobs. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
But there are concerns that many small building firms won't tender | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
for business because of how long it takes to get paid. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Football, and it's been a disappointing night | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
for Wales in their friendly against the Netherlands. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
They lost 2-3 at the Cardiff City Stadium. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
They have never had it so good. For these younger fans, all they have | :06:23. | :06:35. | |
seen his success, and with qualification for the Euro | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Championships already guaranteed, Wales are confident. It's all right. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
Great. I don't know what else to say. We are really excited about | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
tonight. It may only be a friendly, but Wales see it is vital operation | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
for Euro 2016, a chance to test new players. And on his first start for | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Wales, Tom Lawrence got into his stride with a couple of early | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
opportunities. The Netherlands have the best of the chances early on, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
and when this cross found that forward, all six foot five of him, | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
the visitors were ahead. With the game heading for half-time, there | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
was a bonus for Wales, a handball by the Netherlands. Johann Lamont took | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
on the responsibility -- Joe Allen took on the responsibility of the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
resulting penalty. The rebound found Joe Ledley, his first international | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
goal for five years. Having failed to qualify for Euro 2016, the | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Netherlands are rebuilding, and Arjen Robben lead by example. He | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
danced past the Wales defence to find the net, 2-1. The second half | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
saw a raft of substitutions. Chris Coleman promised to give some | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
younger players experience at this level, and 20-year-old Jordan | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Williams nearly repaid his manager. But it would be another substitute | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
who trained the headlines, a night he will never forget. His powerful | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
header left the goalkeeper with no chance. But the threat from the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Netherlands never went away, and Arjen Robben had the last word. An | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
entertaining game, but a first defeat for Wales at this stadium for | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
two years. We were up against a tough team, almost a wounded animal. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
They are much rebuilding, Holland. It was a good performance by them, | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
but it was not too shabby by us also. We were trying to hurt them. | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
There were plenty of positives for Chris Coleman. The younger players | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
had an opportunity to shine. He will see it as a useful exercise as he | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
continues his preparations for the European Championships next June. | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
And events have been taking place across Wales for Children In Need. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Earlier, Pudsey Bear was spotted by some budding reporters | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
in Llandudno, and schools across the country have been playing | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
So far, the total donated here in Wales stands at ?412,000. | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
What's the weather got in store for us this weekend? Derek's here. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
I think Pudsey will need his waterproofs this weekend. There is | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
more wet and windy weather on the way. Heavy rain and gale force | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
winds. Just a few showers tonight, most places becoming dry for a | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
while, the wind easing. A chilly night, more rain reaching | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Pembrokeshire by the end of the night. Tomorrow, rain will spill | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
across the whole country. During the morning, the wind is picking up. The | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
rain is heaviest over high ground, particularly parts of mood and north | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Wales, with an amber warning in Snowdonia. Across the rest of the | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
UK, where -- rain will spread across the Atlantic, heaviest across the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
high ground in north Wales and north-west England. The wind is | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
picking up as well. The north will be dry and bright and colder. In | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Wales tomorrow afternoon, it is looking windy, with more rain and | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
drizzle, the rain heaviest on the high ground in mid and north Wales, | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
accompanied by strong to gale force winds. So some very heavy rainfall | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
on the high ground of north Wales and north-west England this weekend. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
An amber warning in force. We could see a hundred millimetres or more | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
falling in Snowdonia, with flooding in places. Tomorrow night, it will | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
continue to be windy, with further outbreaks of rain and grizzle. Heavy | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
rain in parts of mid Wales. Temperature is above average, but | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
not feeling that mild in the strong winds. Extra week, there is more | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
rain on the way. Rivers will continue to rise, so there is a risk | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
of significant flooding by next week. Take care and keep up-to-date | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
with the forecast over the weekend. Our next update is | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
at 6.40 tomorrow evening. From all of us on the programme, | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
have a great weekend. | :10:59. | :11:02. |
