Tonight, Asylum seekers in Cardiff will no longer have to wear | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
And a week after the announcement, new details emerge of the major job | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
losses at Tata Steel in Port Talbot. | :00:20. | :00:33. | |
It's been compared to the branding of animals tonight. | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
Asylum seekers living in temporary housing | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
to wear wristbands in order to receive their meals. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
It comes after some residents claimed it singled them out | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
The company that runs Lynx House, on behalf of the Home Office says | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
they'll find alternative ways of providing food. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
They were still wearing the controversial wristband this | :00:56. | :01:07. | |
morning. Without them, they told me they might be refused food. Links | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
house is one of the places asylum seekers are sent to live while their | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
status is being processed. Because people here are not allowed to work | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
or to claim benefits, they are dependent on meals provided here and | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
paid for by the Home Office. If you go to the hotel without the band, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
you will not eat for the day. If the staff recognise you, they have to | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
send you back to the hotel room to look for your label or wait until | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
there is a modicum of food left for them to give it to you. This is how | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
militant they were in terms of implementing these banners. Today, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
the Welsh refugee Council said they had raised the issue for months ago | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
and nothing was done. I was very angry about it and I compared it | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
with the situation where you brand sheep, to go to the market. The | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
group which runs the house has now said the wristbands scheme will be | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
scrapped and they are looking for an alternative way of providing | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
support. David Davis, the Conservative MP for Monmouth, has | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
likened wearing these bands to the ones he wears on holiday. Perfectly | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
reasonable system that allowed them to obtain three square meals | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
everyday and it was reasonable for them to be identified. I go on | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
holiday every year to an all-inclusive resort in Hungary | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
where you have to wear wristbands in order to get free meals. I don't | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
feel dehumanised by it. I'm wearing my ID pass you're in Council of | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Europe. This woman works for a voluntary organisation. She says | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
such treatment is dehumanising but the problems facing the people she | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
works with here are much wider. It is one aspect of a very worrying | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
trend of dehumanising asylum seekers. It is particularly a | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
problem because asylum seekers have been excluded from mainstream | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
society for so long. There have been so many stories scapegoating them | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
for various problems in society and a lot of myths have grown up. The | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
Home Office has issued a statement saying it expects the highest | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
standards from its contractors at all times. | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
BBC Wales has discovered Tata hopes to make ?300 million of savings | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
as the company is currently unsustainable, part of the money | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
will come from cutting up to 750 jobs at its Port Talbot steelworks. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
A week after this company announced job losses at two sites, more | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
details have emerged from a leaked document. Almost 400 of those being | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
made redundant will be white-collar workers, essentially office and | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
professional services staff. Around 330 blue-collar workers will also | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
lose their jobs from the operations and industrial side of the business. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
The company says it must improve its performance and reduce costs to | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
survive and be able to contemplate future viability as a business. Up | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
to ?110 million will be saved from the job losses and the mothballing | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
of part of this site. Engineering will see the most redundancies with | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
almost 40% of the department going. Its contractors are also having to | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
lose staff as a result of the company's plans. Cheap imports from | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
China and high energy costs have been blamed for their problems. The | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
union wants the European Union to take action against Chinese steel. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
UKIP's governing body has again failed | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
to approve the party's assembly election candidate selections. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Several Welsh party activists say the party will be damaged if it | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
picks candidates deemed to be from outside Wales, | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
including former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
A senior UKIP source has told BBC Wales | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
the National Executive Committee is defying the Welsh leader | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Nathan Gill by refusing to ratify the selections. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
UKIP says it wants to ensure that the best | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
A man from Cardiff accused of helping a teenager travel | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
to Syria to fight with Islamic terrorists has told a court | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Kristen Brekah, who's 20-years-old, is accused, with two other men, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
of assisting Aseel Muthana in committing an act of terrorism. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
There have been calls for the immediate release | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
of a review into child abuse in North Wales. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
It comes after MPs expressed their concerns over delays | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
to the publication of the MacCure review, | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
which looked into the Waterhouse Report. | :06:04. | :06:04. | |
In December, the Home Office promised to publish the findings | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
as soon as possible but there's still no indication of a date. | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
I think it is important it is published because we need to have | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
public trust in our institutions. We need to be clear about what went | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
wrong in North Wales. We need to understand whether the Waterhouse | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Tribunal did its job properly. Business leaders have been hearing | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
the proposals that it's hoped Local authority representatives | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
will put the plans to the Treasury next month and they say business | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
leaders will be involved in developing the detail of the bid | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
- especially when looking at what skills and industries | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
they need to focus on. We need to be clear with businesses | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
where we are coming from, what skills training they need, what the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
future demands are going to be and then we need to make sure that we | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
give delivery of the right skills and training to meet those needs. | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
A public meeting has been held to discuss the future | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Cwmcarn forest drive, a seven mile scenic road, | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
closed to cars in 2014, so thousands of trees could be | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Campaigners say they're frustrated at the lack of information | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
about the site but the owner, Natural Resources Wales, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
says it needs ideas and support from the public to re-open it. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Rugby and Wales will face Japan at the Principality Stadium in | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Japan beat Wales for the first time ever in Tokyo three years ago. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Wales will also face Australia, Argentina and South Africa | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
That storm in the States is heading our way but its not snow | :07:43. | :07:57. | |
Wind and rain in the forecast. Strong to gale force winds. Dry for | :07:58. | :08:10. | |
much of a country tonight. Overnight, rain will reach Anglesey | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
by the end of the night. Colder than last night. Temperatures falling as | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
low as five Celsius. There is a Met Office weather warning in force. | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
There could be two to four inches of rain. A dry start for most of us | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
tomorrow but it will not last. Rain will spill across the whole country | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
in the morning. Strong to gale force winds. Across the rest of the UK, | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
south-east England should get away with a dry and bright morning but | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
wet and windy weather will spread eastwards during the day. Some heavy | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
rain, especially on high ground in the north and West with strong to | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
fight gale force winds. Should turn dry in Northern Ireland during the | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
afternoon with such hours in Scotland. A high of 12 Celsius in | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Liverpool. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, wet and windy sums it up. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Some heavy rain, especially on higher ground, the hills and | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
mountains, accompanied by gale force winds. Expect some pork travelling | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
conditions. Temperatures above average but it will not feel that | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
mild. Further outbreaks of rain tomorrow night with heavy rain for | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
the Snowdonia Mountains. The wind will ease for a time but | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
strengthening again later in the night. That takes us into a very | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
windy start on Wednesday. The risk of severe gales. The wind will ease | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
during the day, killing dryer and brighter with one or two showers. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Thursday will start dry, bright and Chile. Some sunshine. The weather | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
remains very changeable. More wet and with the weather expected on | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Friday, clearing on Saturday. Good night. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Thank you for watching, from all of us on the programme | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
Since then, things have perked up. Oh, my God! | :09:54. | :10:11. | |
Not so long ago, you just beat a rug for a good time. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
After this, we can do the other carpet in the lounge. | :10:15. | :10:17. |
