Your money and how it's spent next year. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Health is the big winner, so which of | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
And could emissions from a proposed new waste processing plant linger | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Wherever you live, today was one of the most important for what | :00:19. | :00:40. | |
The Welsh Government's budget statement is the carve up of | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
The big headline is health wins an extra ?278 million. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Your local council is staring down the barrel of a 2% cut. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
Here's our political editor, Nick Servini. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
It's the season of goodwill, but who's getting the goodies | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
in the fifth and final budget of this Welsh government before we | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
This lunchtime, AMs got together to celebrate peace and harmony, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
but there's precious little of that between the main parties here. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Five years ago, councils were being protected. | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
This term is ending with the main focus being given to the NHS. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
There's an extra ?278 million for health. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
It means by next year funding for the NHS will have risen by 0.6% | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
The Welsh government also points to the latest figures | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
from the Treasury, with spending per head on the NHS | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
The Conservatives claim that after taking into account | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
inflation, funding of the NHS this year is nearly ?6.3 billion, | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
because of the Welsh Government's decision not to protect health | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
You know over the term of this assembly you have taken ?1 billion | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
Will you not now show some remorse for those devastating decisions that | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
have led to such astronomical waiting times in Wales? | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
The figures I quoted are his government's figures | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
He says the Treasury is misleading the people of Britain. | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
The reality is that the figures the Treasury produce | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
show we spend more on health per head in Wales than England | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
does, it is his party's figures, not all of the Treasury wrong. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
The group that will not be getting a Christmas present | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
in this budget are councils, facing cuts of 2% but it should be | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
said that they were gearing up for cuts of 4%, which is what they | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
The big ticket items for local authorities, schools and social care | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
budgets, have been largely protected, | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
so as we have seen in recent years, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
the cuts are likely to fall in areas like leisure centres and libraries. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
It is not as bad as everyone thought it was going to be | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
so councils who were making plans for even bigger cuts can scale back | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and invest a bit more than they thought they would, but it is | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
There have been cash increases in every major department. | :03:27. | :03:39. | |
Economic development gets a boost of 6% and the communities | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
in tackling poverty department, which deals with things | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Plaid claims increases in health funding has come too late | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
for the Welsh Government to regain the trust on the NHS. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
This seems like a desperate attempt from the Labour government, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
a last throw of the dice, if you like, before the election, putting | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
money into health finally after being pressured by quite some time | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
by opposition parties and the public to do that. | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
giveaways, but today's spending plans will feel more generous than | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
recent budgets and will certainly feel more generous compared with | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
some of the cuts seen in public services in England. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The Health Minister, Mark Drakeford, has backed down on plans to ban | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
the use e-cigarettes in all enclosed public places in Wales. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
Instead the Welsh Government will change its Public Health Bill so | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
they will only be banned in specific public places, like schools, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
The mother of a seven-year-old boy, who died after being hit | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
by a car in Rhondda Cynon Taf, says he's saved up to eight lives | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Fraser Bates and his father Stuart both died after the crash in | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
A 22-year-old man has been arrested and released on police bail. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
UKIP are likely to gain a significant presence | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
in the Assembly next year and any "Corbyn bounce" for Welsh Labour | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
That's according to the latest ITV and Wales Governance Centre poll, | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
which puts Labour on 35% in constituency voting intention | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
for next May's Assembly elections, down four percentage points | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
The Conservatives are on 23%, Plaid Cymru on 20% and the | :05:20. | :05:31. | |
Residents in a village near Caerphilly are concerned that | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
emissions from a proposed new waste processing plant could remain | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
in the valley for days because of a rare weather phenomenon. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Villagers from Cwmfelinfach believe 'temperature inversion' | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
which sometimes leads to fog lingering in the valley could also | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
The Sirhowy Valley, scenic, secluded and steep. | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
And it's this particular feature that's concerning these Cwmfelinfach | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
locals opposed to a planned new waste processing plant | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Emissions from the factory itself, certain atmospheric conditions, | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
We want to stand up and oppose this application. | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
They're concerned about this 'temperature inversion', where cold | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
air is trapped at the bottom of the valley by warm air above, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
leading to clouds and fog remaining over the town, sometimes for days. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Locals are worried any emissions from | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
The plant would be built here and would turn waste, which may | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
The Newport company behind the plant, Hazrem | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Environmental Limited, says any emissions would be well within safe | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
limits and that Caerphilly County Borough Council has carefully | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
But a planning document shows the council hasn't felt it necessary | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment. | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Allan Sharp has been a pharmacist in the valley for 30 years. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
He's concerned about the effects the plant may have. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
My great fear is that having spent the last 30 or 40 years at great | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
expense to the council clearing up the valley's air with | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
the clear air act, we are now taking a backward step, pumping it into | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Caerphilly council says residents views and objections will be | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
considered here and the site would need a permit | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
Councillors will make a decision on the plant tomorrow. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
Swansea City chairman, Huw Jenkins, has dropped a strong hint that | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
the manager Garry Monk is on his way out of the club. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
He was speaking after receiving an OBE at Windsor castle. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Jenkins said something needs to change at the club. | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
Mr Hugh Jenkins for services to football in Wales. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
Monk is under pressure after a run of just one win | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Let's see what the future holds weather-wise. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
Heavy rain last night, blustery showers today and more rain later | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
tomorrow. Overnight, clearing, with dry spells and just gave you | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
isolated showers. Brisk wind but feeling colder than last night at | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
seven Celsius. High-pressure edged out by this cold front moving south | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
east across the UK later tomorrow. Tomorrow, a cold, windy start with | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
sunny spells and variable cloud. Best of bright conditions in the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
South and East of England. Thicker cloud further west and wet and windy | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
weather across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England, where | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
we have seen the worst flooding. Mild for December at 10-12 Celsius. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Across Wales, wind picking up, especially on the south facing | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
coast, rain arriving from the north-west later, highs of ten in | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Powys and 12 in ambitious. Wet and windy tomorrow. Pushing from the | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
north-west, a further 20-40 millimetres is possible. Cloud, wind | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
and rain also holding up temperatures tomorrow. Wind easing | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
and summer lingering showers as that cold front Moussa Sow these. Drier, | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
brighter and colder. -- cold front. It does not lay a completely. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Pushing back north on Friday and possibly for the weekend. -- go away | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
completely. Breezy with sunshine and showers. More likely to be dry and | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
cloudy in the South. A bit closer to that front, with greater risk of | :09:48. | :09:48. | |
rain. From all of us on the programme, | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
goodnight. | :09:56. | :10:00. |
