:02:12. > :02:15.But under the so-called "bedroom tax", this is a spare room and that
:02:16. > :02:19.means a cut in housing benefit for the Rutherfords who say the room
:02:20. > :02:26.We have an awful lot of equipment that Warren needs to have as well.
:02:27. > :02:30.Nappies, toys and all sorts of things that we can't keep

:03:32. > :03:34.They say they know there will be people who need extra support.
:03:35. > :03:38.That is why they are giving local authorities more than ?870 million
:03:39. > :03:42.in extra funding over the next five years to help ensure people
:03:43. > :03:45.in difficult situations don't lose out.

:03:55. > :03:58.If the government decides not to give the council that money
:03:59. > :04:01.any more, or the council finds there is more pressing
:04:02. > :04:05.needs for that money, we're not go to get it.
:04:06. > :04:08.While the UK Government plan to appeal Paul says he will fight
:04:09. > :04:13.this for Warren every step of the way.
:04:14. > :04:14.The BBC's legal affairs correspondent is Clive Coleman
:04:15. > :04:27.What are the legal implications following the ceilings? These
:04:28. > :04:34.rulings mean that members of two distinct groups have been unlawfully
:04:35. > :04:35.discriminated against. Those are disabled children who need
:04:36. > :04:40.night-time care, children like Warren. The Child poverty action
:04:41. > :04:47.group which supported Warren and the Rutherford in this case estimate
:04:48. > :04:52.there are thousands of young children in that situation. Also, a
:04:53. > :04:59.smaller group of female victims of domestic violence who have faced
:05:00. > :05:02.such a threat their properties have two be strengthened and secured
:05:03. > :05:05.including in the case that is a friends of the Court today, the
:05:06. > :05:09.provision of a panic room. People within those two groups have been to
:05:10. > :05:14.buy the court today that this so-called bedroom tax unlawfully
:05:15. > :05:18.discriminate against them. However, the government has said to repeal
:05:19. > :05:22.and it has got leave to appeal. Nothing actually has changed and
:05:23. > :05:26.nothing will change until that will appeal is heard the Supreme Court,
:05:27. > :05:32.that will happen at the end of February. They will link these two
:05:33. > :05:35.cases with another legal challenge by adult disabled people who say
:05:36. > :05:37.they need an additional spare room because of their disabilities.
:05:38. > :05:39.Thank you. How much should new police
:05:40. > :05:41.officers be paid? It's a question being asked tonight
:05:42. > :05:44.by Gwent Police's Chief Constable, who says a "significant number" have
:05:45. > :05:48.left the force for higher paid jobs. Well, the starting salary
:05:49. > :05:50.for a police constable is between ?19,000 and ?22,000,
:05:51. > :05:55.that's slightly less than a newly-qualified teacher
:05:56. > :05:58.and about half as much The Heads of the Valleys
:05:59. > :06:05.along the top here. He used to be a police officer
:06:06. > :06:11.with the Gwent force but after ten years, changes to pensions and a job
:06:12. > :06:15.offer which paid him significantly more as a train driver
:06:16. > :06:19.he left. You see a vast amount of police
:06:20. > :06:21.officers now seeking alternative employment,
:06:22. > :06:23.seeing the grass is greener outside the police which you haven't
:06:24. > :06:26.in previous years and it is I don't think thei pay
:06:27. > :06:30.is necessarily the only issue Today, Gwent Police has announced it
:06:31. > :06:34.will be replacing the likes of Gareth with new recruits
:06:35. > :06:37.from outside the force for the first time since 2013, a total of 100
:06:38. > :06:43.positions to replace more than 300 I had two members of staff who have
:06:44. > :06:50.left us both of whom became train drivers, which is a great profession
:06:51. > :06:54.and they are looking forward But both said they wanted to remain
:06:55. > :06:58.as police officers but financially, I think some of the things
:06:59. > :07:03.that our staff have to deal with, I think if the public
:07:04. > :07:05.really saw some of the things they do face day
:07:06. > :07:09.to day, financial recompense for that is not always
:07:10. > :07:13.as good as it might be. It is always something we've got
:07:14. > :07:16.to look at across the country. But Gareth and some of his former
:07:17. > :07:19.colleagues say this isn't just about money, cuts
:07:20. > :07:20.from the Home Office, fewer police officers
:07:21. > :07:23.and reorganisation within the force Morale has nosedived significantly
:07:24. > :07:30.in the last couple of years in The conditions of the job
:07:31. > :07:36.are suffering in the eyes I asked people in Abergavenny
:07:37. > :07:40.to write down what they thought the starting salary
:07:41. > :07:43.for a constable should be. If I tell you they start
:07:44. > :07:49.on ?19,000-?22,000 depending on experience, what do you think?
:07:50. > :07:52.Is that about enough? To start on, I'd say
:07:53. > :07:56.that is about right. I work in retail
:07:57. > :08:00.so I earn a lot less. So if I say, it is ?19,000-?22,000
:08:01. > :08:06.when the first sign up. No, I think they should start
:08:07. > :08:14.on a little bit more than that. The Home Office is broadly in charge
:08:15. > :08:18.of how much many police forces get. They say police pay is higher
:08:19. > :08:20.than other emergency services with early retirement
:08:21. > :08:23.and a better pension than many. Pay is one aspect of their story
:08:24. > :08:26.but so is pressure, doing the same job
:08:27. > :08:30.with fewer people. All four party leaders
:08:31. > :08:34.in the Assembly have written to the Prime Minister
:08:35. > :08:37.objecting to holding the EU There's been speculation that
:08:38. > :08:40.David Cameron plans to hold the in-out vote a month
:08:41. > :08:43.after May's Assembly elections. But the Labour, Plaid Cymru,
:08:44. > :08:46.Conservative and Liberal Democrat leaders say this
:08:47. > :08:51.could confuse voters. The Welsh Government's being accused
:08:52. > :08:54.of overpaying when it bought Cardiff An original valuation put it
:08:55. > :08:59.as being worth between ?20 Ministers bought it for ?52 million,
:09:00. > :09:04.after another valuation took into account other potential
:09:05. > :09:08.benefits of public ownership. Our business correspondent,
:09:09. > :09:23.Brian Meechan, is at the airport. This has turned into a row over
:09:24. > :09:29.value for money. The question many people are asking is, how did a
:09:30. > :09:32.valuation of ?30 million turn into a bill for ?52 million? It has to be
:09:33. > :09:37.said that the Wales Audit Office, the public spending watchdog, says
:09:38. > :09:41.ministers did perform due diligence. You do what you are supposed to do
:09:42. > :09:46.when you are buying a company. Valuations are tricky. If you early
:09:47. > :09:49.business you will be looking at future profits but if you early
:09:50. > :09:53.government, you are interested in the economic impact including links
:09:54. > :10:00.to their British Airways maintenance site just next door. The auditor
:10:01. > :10:01.here has said it is too early to decide whether this was value for
:10:02. > :10:02.money. The projections at the time
:10:03. > :10:04.of acquisition really looked forward over 25 years in terms
:10:05. > :10:07.of the potential future growth The valuation that the Welsh
:10:08. > :10:11.Government undertook were centred on a positive assessment
:10:12. > :10:13.of growth over that period. Really, we don't know,
:10:14. > :10:17.apart from in the long-term, how the
:10:18. > :10:19.airport is performing. In the short term,
:10:20. > :10:22.it is falling short against some of the assumptions for performance
:10:23. > :10:38.in the first five years. We all know ultimately something is
:10:39. > :10:42.only worthless in the gears willing to pay for it, in this case the
:10:43. > :10:45.Welsh Government said this there but have become an embarrassment and
:10:46. > :10:48.they wanted to take it over. The company that owned it wasn't that
:10:49. > :10:54.interested or concerned about selling. They held all the cards. It
:10:55. > :10:58.is widely been thought of in the business community that the Welsh
:10:59. > :11:02.Government had overpaid for the airport and the Welsh Conservatives
:11:03. > :11:03.are saying today issued the Welsh Government is's attitude towards
:11:04. > :11:04.public funding. The clear thing out of this report
:11:05. > :11:07.and other estimations the Welsh Government have paid for Cardiff
:11:08. > :11:10.airport is they paid over the odds. Carwyn Jones announced
:11:11. > :11:15.he was going to buy the airport I've never heard of a purchaser
:11:16. > :11:18.doing that before but then when it isn't your money
:11:19. > :11:30.perhaps that is what you do. If you talk to the Welsh Government,
:11:31. > :11:34.they say they had to come in and rescue this place. We have seen
:11:35. > :11:39.passenger numbers increase. They will tell as in the last year there
:11:40. > :11:43.has been a 13% increase in footfall in another of passengers coming
:11:44. > :11:46.through. We have seen an increase in improvement of the facility so they
:11:47. > :11:48.say it is moving in the right direction and it'll be worth it.
:11:49. > :11:52.Budget cuts prompt Wrexham council to appeal for donations,
:11:53. > :11:55.to help preserve these regimental flags for the town.

:12:14. > :12:17.with 999 calls has been published for the first time.

:12:26. > :12:44.When the call comes through, paramedic James is ready to respond
:12:45. > :12:48.as quickly as possible. But since October the time it takes to arrive
:12:49. > :12:51.at the scene is less of a priority and less a life is at risk of stock
:12:52. > :13:00.response time targets have been dropped for all but the most urgent
:13:01. > :13:05.cases, red calls. What is more important is the outcome for the
:13:06. > :13:09.patient. When I do turn up what do I do, is what I am doing worthwhile
:13:10. > :13:17.and making a difference to that patients? 24 new ambulance quality
:13:18. > :13:20.indicators have been introduced monitoring the way the service
:13:21. > :13:24.responds to call-outs. From the way patients are assessed to the
:13:25. > :13:28.treatment they receive. This call out to a road traffic collision is
:13:29. > :13:32.classed as Amber which means the lead these injuries are deemed to be
:13:33. > :13:36.by threatening. It means for the ambulance staff, there is doubt I'll
:13:37. > :13:39.get time for them to arrive here but having said that James and his rapid
:13:40. > :13:45.response vehicle did Getty very quickly. The computer tells us later
:13:46. > :13:51.that we had arrived in seven minutes and the patient is on her way to A
:13:52. > :13:56.at a nearby hospital within half an hour. Today's figures show the vast

:14:25. > :14:28.experience of that care. What is important is for the first time the
:14:29. > :14:31.improvement agenda for Ambulance Service will be patient experience
:14:32. > :14:36.and clinically focused rather than just focused on how quickly we can
:14:37. > :14:42.get ambulances to calls stop what is the address of the emergency? Call
:14:43. > :14:45.centre staff have more time to consider which response would be
:14:46. > :14:51.more appropriate for nonlife threatening calls. It is a
:14:52. > :14:55.multidisciplinary team. We got a paramedic on the clinical best, a
:14:56. > :15:00.nurse of the clinical desk, we've got NHS Direct. It is about
:15:01. > :15:02.improving patient service, improving morale for paramedics as well
:15:03. > :15:07.because they are going to the patients that need their skill set.
:15:08. > :15:10.Some questioned whether changing the way performance is measured is about
:15:11. > :15:15.diverting attention from years of missed time targets. Bosses insist

:15:23. > :15:25.influential businessmen has told this programme that improving
:15:26. > :15:28.broadband connectivity is key to attracting some of the best
:15:29. > :15:30.brains in business. Sir Terry Matthews was at the launch
:15:31. > :15:47.of BT's trial of ultra-fast Local business people will among
:15:48. > :15:52.some well-known faces in Swansea's BT Tower as the company introduced
:15:53. > :15:55.its latest technology. Ultrafast broadband. This technology could
:15:56. > :15:59.play a big part in creating a stronger economy for the Swansea
:16:00. > :16:05.area if it is rolled out here full-time. We have a great
:16:06. > :16:09.university graduates but more often than not they take. If the
:16:10. > :16:14.infrastructure is provided here, brought and, found the league and so
:16:15. > :16:21.one, that's broadband, you are attracting some of the best brains
:16:22. > :16:25.to create start-up companies. We are more familiar with superfast
:16:26. > :16:30.broadband but BT says for the majority of us ultrafast could be up
:16:31. > :16:35.to five times quicker. Around 100 customers are a mix of homes and
:16:36. > :16:38.businesses will take part in a pilot as Beattie tries to understand more
:16:39. > :16:44.about it. Once we have that inside and can see how households and
:16:45. > :16:48.businesses really consume this bandwidth, the intention then is to
:16:49. > :16:55.roll the technology out and hopefully to reach 10 million
:16:56. > :16:58.customers by 2020. The tech help in Swansea is a place for entrepreneurs
:16:59. > :17:02.to get their business ideas off the ground. They believe the faster the
:17:03. > :17:06.broadband are great are the opportunities for small business to
:17:07. > :17:09.grow. More bandwidth means lower latency which means faster
:17:10. > :17:17.connections which you can do more things. For a small business, the
:17:18. > :17:22.practical advantages, maybe we won't see them now but in 12 months when
:17:23. > :17:27.people get used to the things they can do with a faster broadband.
:17:28. > :17:31.It'll be a game changer. There are still parts of Wales waiting for
:17:32. > :17:36.broadband. There was government says 100% of homes will be connected in
