Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
It costs more than ?200 million a year. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Tonight questions over whether Welsh Government's policy | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
of funding university tuition fees can continue. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
I think that education should be accessible to everyone. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
We shouldn't have to consider our financial background | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
when we decide where we're going to go and what course we want to do. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |

Good evening. It costs more than ?200 million a year, and tonight | :01:07. | :01:26. | |
there are questions over whether the Welsh Government's policy of funding | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Welsh university students can continue. At the moment, students | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
pay the first ?3,500 of their fees wherever they study, the rest is | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
an estimated 90 million of that goes to universities in England for | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
students who choose to study there. Tonight, universities here, and | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
opposition parties, say the current situation is untenable. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
This is made in Wales policy which done and stressed the benefits of | :01:59. | :02:11. | |
devolution. Exactly five years today, ministers announced Welsh | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
students would be protected from a hike in fees. Now that our questions | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
about whether the money is going to those who need it most. They should | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
be to issue an fees grant for some students and alone for others. That | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
is not a big worry because if you look at what has happened in England | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
where everybody has got a loan, De Vries and a grant, the loan has not | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
deterred people who are coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Universities, the next app for the students at this college and | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Swansea. Why do think about the subsidy at the moment? Being | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
available to everyone, the same amount of money. It's good everyone | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
has opportunities from working-class backgrounds but I don't see how they | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
all need the subsidy that when people are very capable of paying it | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
themselves. I like it that everyone has the same sort of standard. It | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
would help those who can't really afford it that everyone has the same | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
sort of standard. It would help those who can't really afford it but | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
manage to go. Universities hope any savings from the new fee system | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
would go directly to them. They argue tens of millions of pounds | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
leaves Wales every year to pay for the tuition of 12 students in | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
England. But a recent report suggested Wales wasn't losing money. | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
?153 million leaves Wales with the 20,000 or so students who go to | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
study in England. But ?182 million coming to Wales with the 30,000 | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
students who make the journey in the year direction and study here. We | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
accept the current system is not sustainable for the whole of the | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
next Assembly, it needs configurations. We would like to | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
guarantee those students who study in Wales in Welsh institutions they | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
will get a similar deal to what they are getting now. We would have a | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
fund that would be for the most disadvantaged, poorest students. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Rather than spreading the money across all students as happens at | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the moment, at huge cost, we would say this is going to be means | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
tested. The Lib Dems were scrapped the fee grants, spending more on | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
students living costs and on universities. Ukip has previously | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
advocated cutting fees for maths and science students. An investment in | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
young people, that is how the Welsh Government describes its subsidy. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
It's commissioned a report considering other options and it | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
will be published after next year's Assembly election. | :04:46. | :04:46. | |
Welsh Labour MP's can decide for themselves whether or not to support | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Party leader Jeremy Corbyn will allow a free vote | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
on the matter after meeting the Shadow Cabinet earlier. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Our parliamentary correspondent David Cornock is at Westminster. | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
What is the mood amongst Welsh Labour MPs? We are getting a clearer | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
idea tonight of just how Labour MPs, Welsh Labour MPs will vote when it | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
comes to whether or not to extend air strikes to Syria. Paul Flynn is | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
a firm opponent of territory action and compare David Cameron to Adolf | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Hitler and accused the Prime Minister of being deluded over his | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
plans for the future of Syria. There are serious arguments going on | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
within the Shadow Cabinet. Nia Griffith, the Shadow Welsh | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
Secretary, said tonight she has spoken out in the Shadow Cabinet | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
against air strikes because she simply does not believe there are | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
plans that would make the future of Syria say. On the other hand, Chris | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Bryant, the -- the Rhondda MP, he is worried what would happen if one of | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
his constituents was killed in a terrorist attack. He is worded | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
something has to be done about IS. The vote could come as early as this | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Wednesday. We are expecting a statement by the Prime Minister in | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
the next hour or so. Thank you very much. | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
Two policemen have each been jailed for two years | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
for stealing ?10,000 during a police drugs raid in Swansea. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
Stephen Phillips, a former detective sergeant | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
in the South Wales force, and his colleague Michael Stokes were found | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
The judge said their actions were a gross abuse of trust, which had | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
The officers were close friends and had worked together at Swansea | :06:36. | :06:49. | |
Central police station in the organised crime team. The court | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
heard by 2011 each of them had significant debts and a gambling | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
habit. In 2014 they took part in grades on properties into eddies and | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Swansea belonging to a suspected drug dealer. The court heard how six | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
to ?1000 was found in the two saves in the raid but when members of the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
family were not charged, their money was returned, the check they were | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
given amounted to ?51,000. The jury was told the officers had stolen the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
rest of the cash during the many count. They'd taken large bundles of | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
notes. The family 's complaint following the rape of his house, the | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
-- following the raid of his house, an investigation was launched. | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
Alongside his collie, he was found guilty of further corruption | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
charges. The defence in this case was trying to paint a picture of a | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
police force where this kind of behaviour was endemic. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
They would, wouldn't they. I wouldn't accept that point. I will | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
repeat the point I made, look at the lengths we went to to investigate | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
this case, look at how hard we worked with our colleagues to make | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
sure we did have a successful prosecution. That demonstrates just | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
how far we will go in identifying and rooting out corruption. The | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
sentencing them to two years, the judge said you demonstrated a | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
contempt for the laws you were meant to uphold. She said there was | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
planning and subterfuge and this was a gross abuse of trust. She added, | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
such conduct behaviour has until damaged to the public's confidence | :08:35. | :08:35. | |
in the police. -- untold damage. 17 flood warnings have been issued, | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
as heavy rain continues to affect This was the scene at Aberystwyth | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
seafront earlier today with rough Mid and West Fire and Rescue Service | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
have been dealing with around 50 different incidents relating to | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
the weather with call-outs in Welshpool, Machynlleth and Newtown | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
although they say there haven't been In the Conwy Valley the river | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
has burst its banks at Llanrwst. Transport links there have also been | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
disrupted with railway lines between North Llanrwst to | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Blaenau Ffestiniog closed. We'll have a full weather forecast | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
with Sue Charles just before seven. North Wales Police | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
and the care watchdog have launched a joint investigation into | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
allegations of poor care standards Radio Cymru's Manylu programme | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
revealed last week that the watchdog had banned Plas-y-Bryn | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
in Bontnewydd from accepting new residents after three inspections | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
in less than a year. The home says it's in the process | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
of addressing concerns. A builder from Llanelli who spiked | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
a workmate's hot chocolate with amphetamines because he thought it | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
would be a "good joke" has been told Kevin Johnstone admitted to | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Swansea Crown Court that he unlawfully and maliciously caused | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
amphetamines to be administered. One of the world's leading | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
transplant experts has said a change in the law in Wales may not | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
increase organ donation rates here, It comes as Wales prepares to become | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
the first UK nation to presume that people are willing to give their | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
organs unless they've opted out. Spain has the highest donation rate | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
of any country in the world and the man in charge of its | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
national transplant organisation has been speaking exclusively to our | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
health correspondent Owain Clarke. This is his special report | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
from Madrid. If you are waiting | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
for an organ transplant, arguably there is no better place | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
in the world to live than here. Proportionately, | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
more organs are donated after death But why are rates here so much | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
higher than in many other countries? Some have speculated that Spain's | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
world-beating organ donation rates might be down to the fact that | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
the country has a presumed consent law, similar to the one that comes | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
into force in Wales. But is that the key reason | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
for Spain's success? This man is considered to be | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
the godfather of the Spanish When he took the reins in 1989, | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
Spain's donation rates What we did is practically | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
to change everything. The Spanish model is to have | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the adequate person, the adequate The so-called transplant coordinator | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
which is a medical doctor, we put one or even more if the hospital is | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
big, in every hospital with the possibility | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
of having an organ donor. I've been given rare access to | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
one of the country's biggest intensive | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
care units to speak to one of them. Doctor Del Rio leads a team | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
of six doctors and two nurses Their job is to make sure that | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
nobody who might end up being a suitable organ donor falls through | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
the net. In organ donation here it is | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
a part of the job, the daily job. To think of organ donation almost | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
in this environment is to think of ordering a blood test, an x-ray. | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
It's that natural? But even though the law in Spain | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
presumes everybody is a willing donor unless they object, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
in reality if families say no, Proportionally fewer families | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
in Spain refuse than almost Transplant coordinators usually | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
go to the schools and talk to When they go back to | :12:33. | :12:42. | |
their homes they talk to In fact all the experts agree | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
the law itself is only More important, they say, | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
is the work of the transplant coordinators and making sure enough | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
intensive care beds are available. But whatever the reason for Spain's | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
success, those who have been given a new lease | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
of life are internally grateful. Raquel Nieto expresses her gratitude | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
for the gift of new lungs People need to see that | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
organ donation works. If a family donates their loved ones | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
lungs and see the effect it could You are giving somebody a new life. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
You are giving a family life. My son can talk to me about | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
tomorrows now. 800 miles away at Llandough hospital | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
in Cardiff, Kimberly, who is also an accomplished artist, | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
is hoping her life can also be She has cystic fibrosis which | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
means every breath is a struggle. She has spent much | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
of the past year in this ward, unable to even go on honeymoon, | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
waiting, hoping for one phone call. You can't plan anything because you | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
don't know what is going to happen. You have to have your phone on | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
you constantly in case they call. Everyone else seems to be going out | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
enjoying life and I feel like I'm stuck, and I'm just waiting | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
and the world is passing me by. She argues if the new law will mean | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
that call could come quickly, for Even if it is just | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
about getting more people to talk At every family table, when | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
they eat together, they have to talk Talk about what you want | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
your family to say. What is clear is the more organs | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
that are available for transplant, But the lesson from Spain perhaps is | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
the law is only part of the picture. And in tomorrow's programme we'll be | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
live from Wales's only organ transplant unit behind the scenes | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
speaking to doctors, nurses, Back to tonight, much more to | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
come before seven o'clock. One of the oldest outdoor velodromes | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
in the UK looks set And how about this | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
as an apprenticeship. Nigel Owens inspires | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
the next generation The UN conference | :15:23. | :15:23. | |
on climate change is underway in Paris, with the ambition | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
of finding a global approach to Wales will be represented in the | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
discussions but what is happening Our environment correspondent, Iolo | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
ap Dafydd, has been finding out. The Paris climate summit to be the | :15:41. | :15:56. | |
largest yet, and important enough to attract hundreds of world leaders. | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
This conference will be a ground breaking piece of collective | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
responsibility and making a difference for the future global | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
impact. I am excited that Wales will be playing its part in that. Not | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
everyone agrees that we are partly to blame for warming the planet with | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
emissions from factories and vehicles. The bustle jollity of | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
scientists believe human induced climate change is happening. Welsh | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
ministers claim sustainability is at the heart of their policies but | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
others argue fully consistent approach especially as the | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
government wants an M4 relief road for Newport and a new racetrack for | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Ebbw Vale. The Welsh Government has done some good work and yet come on | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
the other hand they are now going to push ahead with this circuit of | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Wales in Blaenau Gwent which will destroy hundreds of tonnes of Pete. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Changes to the climate is predicted to be to heavy rainfall and more | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
extreme weather. That will have impact as well on transport, energy | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
and food. This committee cafe staffed by volunteers and fiscal | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
prepares and sell surplus food donated by local shops. Otherwise it | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
would be taken to landfill sites. We go and collect surplus food from a | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
number of local shops and supermarkets in the eerie, bring it | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
back to the cafe and turn it into healthy, affordable meals for | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
everybody in the community. The cycle for Wales, the waste charity, | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
estimates that we produce 227,000 tonnes of household feud waste a | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
year. A former environment minister is urging for more action. We have a | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
fight and our hands. We have a serious fight on our hands. | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Demonstrators in Cardiff over the weekend were keen to stress the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
importance of battling climate change. And reduce the amount of | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
polluting gases in the atmosphere. As the Paris climate summit starts, | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
there are some doubts as to whether the pledges made by countries | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
worldwide to deduce harmful emissions like carbon dioxide will | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
actually be met and would be legally binding. | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
Motor racing, rugby and cycling now. Tomos has tonight's sport. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
It's one of the oldest outdoor velodromes in the UK and now | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Carmarthen's cycling track looks set to be developed so it can host | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
The county council's agreed to contribute almost half the cost | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
of renovating the track with the rest coming from Sport Wales. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
The success of Olympic champions like Geraint Thomas has propelled | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
Newport velodrome may be the home of Welsh cycling but Carmarthen is | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
The council has agreed to invest half of a ?600,000 scheme to bring | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
their track up to the level required for national competition. | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
Initially, it will be used for training, both club and club | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
clusters. There will be a mixture of clubs coming together. Also the | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
Welsh performers team will be using the facility to train rather than | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
travelling up to Newport. Built in 1900, it's the oldest | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
outdoor velodrome still in use. In its heyday it was magnificent, | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
huge crowds watched world records being set, | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
it was right at the forefront. The concept of pacing which has | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
so revolutionised the sport of cycling was actually developed | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
here using a motorbike out in front cyclists realised they were | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
able to achieve higher speeds Recent years have been | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
a lot more bumpy though and the money is needed for a new all | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
weather track and safety fencing to I think it is scraping the surface | :19:43. | :19:58. | |
now. Things like this are fundamental. I think it is great and | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
we will get more people into cycling. In 2008, a similar scheme | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
was announced. It never got off the ground but this time there is more | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
confidence. Last time we were looking for funding from various | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
lottery. Of course, all that money went towards the Olympic Games. This | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
is now post the Olympic games and what we're trying to do is to ensure | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
that we have all the facilities people will want. | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
The condition of the track means it's off limits for now. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
With a new future could it lead to another world champion like | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
World rally championship driver, Elfyn Evans, will not be one | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
of the two main drivers at his M-Sport team for next year | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
Evans, who's from Dolgellau, finished this year's Championship | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Last month he was officiating at the Rugby World Cup Final, | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
now Nigel Owens is helping to find the next generation of referees. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
The increase in the number of rugby matches at schools and | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
colleges means there's more demand so the Welsh Rugby Union is aiming | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
to lower the age at which people can take charge of a schools match. | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
If you do roll this way, it isn't a problem. | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
Learning from the master, Nigel Owens helping teenagers keen | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
The Welsh Rugby Union says with more matches played at schools and | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
The game has grown, it says, since rugby officers tasked with | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
promoting the sport started work at 80 schools around the country. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
Most people start refereeing by chance because all of a sudden | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
they referee a couple of school games and then, I enjoyed that, | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Some of these here today may be thinking, | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
I'll do the course, I'll help referee at some schools games in | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
schools but I'm not really thinking about going into refereeing yet. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
When they start refereeing they will enjoy it. | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
The immediate aim for the 16-year-olds is to referee | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
a schools match, but the WRU hope some will stay on in the role | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
eventually officiating in the national leagues and | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
There are more than 2600 licensed referees in Wales, | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
nearly all are volunteers but just 14% are under 25. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
When you turn 50, your legs start to slow down a | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
little bit and perhaps you have been refereeing for ten or 15 years and | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
We have to ensure, as a department and as a union, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
we have sufficient match officials coming through on the conveyor belt | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
To help achieve that, the Union is in the process of | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
lowering the age at which someone can become the referee | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
Similar sessions will be held across the country in the coming | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
months all aimed at finding the next Nigel Owens. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Next week we'll find out who's the BBC Cymru Wales Sports | :22:58. | :23:00. | |

whether the Welsh Government's policy of funding student fees is | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
sustainable. Universities and opposition parties | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
say the policy, where the bulk of students' fees are | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
paid by the state, cannot continue. Ministers say it's | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
a worthwhile investment. X-Ray's on in half an hour, here's | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
