:00:00. > :00:43.That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:44. > :00:46.Tonight, the story of how this patriotic little boy from the Welsh

:00:47. > :00:50.Is Swansea's billion pounds tidal lagoon project under threat?

:00:51. > :00:53.An independent review will examine the cost and value of wave power.

:00:54. > :00:55.The death of teenage soldier Cheryl James from Llangollen.

:00:56. > :00:57.The inquest hears some military officers viewed new recruits

:00:58. > :01:01.And a warning tonight from steel bosses that the industry is sleep

:01:02. > :01:11.A man from Cardiff accused of helping his teenage friend

:01:12. > :01:14.travel to Syria to fight alongside his brother

:01:15. > :01:17.with so-called Islamic State is behind bars tonight.

:01:18. > :01:20.Kristen Brekke, along with two other men, was accused of assisting

:01:21. > :01:24.Aseel Muthana in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

:01:25. > :01:28.Sentencing him to four and a half years, the judge said Brekke

:01:29. > :01:32.was "perhaps naive" and may have acted out of "misguided friendship".

:01:33. > :01:41.For almost a month, Kristen Brekke has been arriving at the Old Bailey

:01:42. > :01:43.each morning to hear the case against him and two others.

:01:44. > :01:45.Tonight, the young man from Grangetown is behind bars

:01:46. > :01:53.Along with Forhad Rahman and Adeel Ulhaq, they have been

:01:54. > :01:55.found guilty of helping this Cardiff teenager,

:01:56. > :01:59.Aseel Muthana, travel to Syria to fight jihad.

:02:00. > :02:02.A lot of people think it is just to put this flag

:02:03. > :02:06.Nasser Muthana, Aseel's older brother, was one of two infamous

:02:07. > :02:10.recruits to so-called IS who appeared in a propaganda

:02:11. > :02:14.video entitled 'There is no life without jihad'.

:02:15. > :02:17.Aseel was desperate to join him and fight

:02:18. > :02:23.Brekke was one of three men that helped him do just that.

:02:24. > :02:26.Brekke first met Aseel while they were working at this cafe

:02:27. > :02:29.in Grangetown, where they became friends.

:02:30. > :02:32.The Old Bailey heard Brekke helped him get and store

:02:33. > :02:35.a new passport as his parents had confiscated his original.

:02:36. > :02:38.They say he also bought and stored Army gear and boots for him.

:02:39. > :02:41.The other men provided him with money and expertise

:02:42. > :02:45.to fund his jihadi journey in February 2014.

:02:46. > :02:48.It was more than a year ago that Brekke, then 18,

:02:49. > :02:51.was arrested at his home in Grangetown by officers

:02:52. > :02:53.of the Wales Extremism and Counter-Terrorism Unit

:02:54. > :02:56.and charged with assisting in the preparation of

:02:57. > :03:01.At the time, his mother, who is Welsh, and his father,

:03:02. > :03:05.who is of Norwegian ancestry, confirmed their son had converted

:03:06. > :03:10.They said no one else in the family was a Muslim.

:03:11. > :03:14.This footage of him on a school trip at the age of ten shows a happy,

:03:15. > :03:17.contented young lad who is very patriotic.

:03:18. > :03:21.I feel proud of being Welsh because I like the Red Dragon

:03:22. > :03:24.and when I sing the anthem, it makes me very proud

:03:25. > :03:30.But in less than a decade, that young boy would be in the dock

:03:31. > :03:34.at the Old Bailey alongside two others on terror charges.

:03:35. > :03:37.Brekke told the Old Bailey jury that within a couple of years of starting

:03:38. > :03:40.secondary school, he decided to convert to Islam.

:03:41. > :03:44.He said most of his friends were Muslim and he wanted to fit in.

:03:45. > :03:48.He took his declaration of faith at this small mosque just a few

:03:49. > :03:50.streets from his home which is renowned for

:03:51. > :03:56.We taught him so we knew him for quite a while.

:03:57. > :04:03.I think since the age of 15 and now he is at the age of 19.

:04:04. > :04:07.So we have not seen any extremism in him.

:04:08. > :04:11.The name Kristen is the Norwegian form of Christian but he decided

:04:12. > :04:14.after his conversion at this mosque that that name

:04:15. > :04:18.He changed it to Kaleem, the Arabic meaning -

:04:19. > :04:22.a speaker with the ability to understand people and merge

:04:23. > :04:25.conflicting viewpoints to create harmony.

:04:26. > :04:29.But his life has been far from harmonious since.

:04:30. > :04:34.Then come join us at Cardiff hill - AKA Asda hill.

:04:35. > :04:41.Part of the case against him was this video shot on a mobile

:04:42. > :04:45.phone at night on what the pair call Asda hill.

:04:46. > :04:48.The prosecution say it shows Brekke knew exactly

:04:49. > :04:53.Recorded in December 2013, it shows the two teenagers shouting

:04:54. > :04:59.Waving a gun in front of the camera and taking potshots at tin cans,

:05:00. > :05:03.they fantasise that what they see below them is not Cardiff Bay

:05:04. > :05:08.The Asda supermarket, a military checkpoint in Raqqa.

:05:09. > :05:12.Two months later, that pretence is a reality for Aseel Muthana.

:05:13. > :05:15.If you are watching this, I am probably dead.

:05:16. > :05:18.I am probably like a legend or something.

:05:19. > :05:21.Brekke's co-accused, Forhad Rahman and Adeel Ulhaq,

:05:22. > :05:24.did not know Aseel Muthana or Brekke personally.

:05:25. > :05:30.Experts say such radicalisation on the net is impossible to police.

:05:31. > :05:34.I noticed one of the videos on this case, one of the guys on the video

:05:35. > :05:38.says, you may feel depressed, if you come to us this

:05:39. > :05:43.They're pulling on these factors, you may not feel involved

:05:44. > :05:47.in your community, you may feel a sense of disconnection,

:05:48. > :05:51.The Prevent strategy is the Home Office funded scheme

:05:52. > :05:56.Aseel Muthana was being monitored by Prevent unsuccessfully.

:05:57. > :05:59.His father says the system failed his family.

:06:00. > :06:03.If you are preventing it, how can you name yourself

:06:04. > :06:09.They did not employ the right people.

:06:10. > :06:11.I don't think that trust has always been there.

:06:12. > :06:15.I am not sure if in this case this was the particular reason.

:06:16. > :06:18.Certainly, a stronger degree of trust and communication

:06:19. > :06:21.across-the-board would mean there are less likely to be

:06:22. > :06:28.instances where things fall through gaps in the net.

:06:29. > :06:32.With yet another high-profile case involving someone from Cardiff,

:06:33. > :06:35.the Muslim community here say they are under the spotlight

:06:36. > :06:41.Their response, a series of mosque open days to reassure the public

:06:42. > :06:44.they have nothing to hide and reiterate they do not support

:06:45. > :06:50.We have got to get equilibrium in the media so for every time

:06:51. > :06:54.there is one event that is negative or terror related, I could tell

:06:55. > :06:57.you five or ten events that are in the community where Muslims

:06:58. > :07:01.are making a positive impact and affecting the local community.

:07:02. > :07:06.21,000 Muslims live in Cardiff, the vast majority law-abiding,

:07:07. > :07:09.but tonight, with another from their community behind bars,

:07:10. > :07:12.they are searching for answers about how to tackle those

:07:13. > :07:23.Nick, what's been the reaction to today's verdict?

:07:24. > :07:31.The police are busy very pleased with the outcome. This has been a

:07:32. > :07:34.joint investigation between two English counterterrorism units and

:07:35. > :07:39.the Wales counterterrorism unit. They describe it as a conquest MS

:07:40. > :07:43.the nation. The Assistant Chief Constable Rob Price out Wales police

:07:44. > :07:48.has released a statement saying the sentences shown to those who support

:07:49. > :07:52.a terrorist organisation will be brought to justice. There is no

:07:53. > :07:57.place for those terrorists in Britain. He added that everybody has

:07:58. > :08:00.a responsibility for spotting the early signs of radicalisation and

:08:01. > :08:05.said the police want to work with the community in partnership to

:08:06. > :08:09.protect those who are potentially vulnerable or showing signs of

:08:10. > :08:14.violent extremism and stop them going to Syria.

:08:15. > :08:17.There are serious questions tonight over the future

:08:18. > :08:21.The UK Government has announced an independent review

:08:22. > :08:23.of Tidal Lagoon Energy, saying more work needs to be done

:08:24. > :08:25.to determine whether it presents value for money.

:08:26. > :08:28.The company behind the project says it welcomes the opportunity

:08:29. > :08:30.to put its case forward but it's concerned about the

:08:31. > :08:44.It can be a long walk to the sea when the tide goes out in Swansea

:08:45. > :08:49.Bay but maybe not as long as the possible wait for a decision on

:08:50. > :08:52.tidal lagoon energy year. As the UK Government announced an independent

:08:53. > :08:56.review of the feasibility and practicality of this kind of energy,

:08:57. > :09:02.others see the news as a delaying tactic over a final decision. I am

:09:03. > :09:05.disappointed for the people of Swansea East because they are

:09:06. > :09:10.desperate for this. I am disappointed for the people of Wales

:09:11. > :09:12.because this was our opportunity. And I am disappointed they play

:09:13. > :09:18.these games with something so important. The chief executive of

:09:19. > :09:21.tidal lagoon energy has warned the UK Government it must decide in the

:09:22. > :09:25.next few weeks whether or not it is going to invest in this billion

:09:26. > :09:28.pound project. Building work has been delayed because every time they

:09:29. > :09:33.come to discuss how much public money will be put forward,

:09:34. > :09:36.negotiations have stalled. Responding to the forthcoming

:09:37. > :09:40.review, the Chief Executive of tidal lagoon energy said in a statement,

:09:41. > :09:45.we welcome the opportunity to put the case for a major programme of

:09:46. > :09:49.cost-effective power. This is a home-grown source of power, the

:09:50. > :09:52.natural way to power our nation. He said the review should not impact

:09:53. > :09:57.the finalisation of our commercial discussions. The Department for

:09:58. > :10:00.Energy and Climate Change says the developers will take part in the

:10:01. > :10:07.review while discussions continue. While that might be the case,

:10:08. > :10:09.businesses in the local area are now concerned about the time and money

:10:10. > :10:17.they have already invested in this project. The delay now places great

:10:18. > :10:21.uncertainty and there are not many new opportunities in Port Talbot,

:10:22. > :10:28.Swansea Bay of the type that can employ people to the extent that the

:10:29. > :10:31.tidal lagoon can. From that point of view, a great disappointment. We

:10:32. > :10:38.have been working very hard for over two years. And as an industry group,

:10:39. > :10:42.supporting tidal lagoon, our expenditure has run into hundreds of

:10:43. > :10:47.thousands of pounds. While the debate over tidal lagoon energy

:10:48. > :10:48.continues to ebb and flow, it is hoped this delay does not signal the

:10:49. > :10:52.end for the Swansea Bay project. Let's have a word with our business

:10:53. > :10:54.correspondent Brian Meechan. A warning tonight that if the tidal

:10:55. > :11:07.lagoon doesn't happen in Swansea, That is the concern of some people

:11:08. > :11:15.including some supporters and investors. I have spoken to the boss

:11:16. > :11:19.of Liberty Steel, one of the investors. Tidal lagoon said it

:11:20. > :11:24.needed a decision within weeks and there was an expectation around that

:11:25. > :11:28.coming up to the budget next month, that decision either way would be

:11:29. > :11:32.made. We now know it is going to be months before that decision is made

:11:33. > :11:37.and that could delay the project for years. The UK Government is looking

:11:38. > :11:40.to see whether it is value for money because it is an expensive project.

:11:41. > :11:44.We are going to talk about the steel industry later in the programme but

:11:45. > :11:50.just a thought on this project's place in the wider industry in south

:11:51. > :11:53.Wales. If you look at some of the arguments being made, we know that

:11:54. > :11:57.cheaper energy is incredibly important to the future of the steel

:11:58. > :12:03.industry. That is why the boss of Liberty Steel says they have

:12:04. > :12:06.invested in this. But there is also a wider impact.

:12:07. > :12:08.The lagoons generate over 70,000 jobs during construction,

:12:09. > :12:09.over 35,000 sustainable for 120 years -

:12:10. > :12:14.It creates an industry. It creates an entire industry.

:12:15. > :12:17.We are looking at several investments on the back of that.

:12:18. > :12:26.We want to do several things, whether it is in steel or concrete.

:12:27. > :12:33.Lord Nick Bourne, who is in charge of this review, is also a member of

:12:34. > :12:37.the Welsh government steel task force so he is aware of how all of

:12:38. > :12:40.this fits together but we are going on beyond the Assembly election.

:12:41. > :12:44.The Public Services Minister says people need to "grow up"

:12:45. > :12:46.in their opposition to cutting the number of councils in Wales.

:12:47. > :12:48.Leighton Andrews has told the Assembly's Local Government

:12:49. > :12:50.Committee that councils have been given "every opportunity" to agree

:12:51. > :12:55.on a new map of local authorities but have failed to do so.

:12:56. > :12:57.But the chief executive of the Welsh Local Government Association,

:12:58. > :13:00.Steve Thomas, said it took longer to change councils across Wales

:13:01. > :13:08.The reality is, everybody can agree on local government reorganisation

:13:09. > :13:12.but nobody is prepared to agree on what it should look like.

:13:13. > :13:18.People need to grow up, bluntly, and we need to get agreement on this

:13:19. > :13:21.as soon as we can after the May elections because, as the trade

:13:22. > :13:26.unions have said, this is leading to some demoralisation among staff

:13:27. > :13:30.in local government who want to know what the way forward is.

:13:31. > :13:35.Work has been continuing to restore drinking water to around 1,700

:13:36. > :13:37.households across parts of Carmarthenshire after

:13:38. > :13:42.Welsh Water began carrying out repair work overnight

:13:43. > :13:46.and through the day and said it hoped to restore the supply

:13:47. > :14:06.More than half ?1 million in tuition fees and grants was granted to a

:14:07. > :14:10.college in Wales. The West London Vocational Training College in

:14:11. > :14:13.Cardiff was the focus of a BBC will weaken week out investigation. The

:14:14. > :14:18.College owner has denied knowing of any wrongdoing in the recruitment of

:14:19. > :14:20.students. The Welsh government has declined to comment.

:14:21. > :14:23.The Army base where a Welsh soldier was found dead had a "highly

:14:24. > :14:25.sexualised" environment and some senior staff saw young female

:14:26. > :14:32.18-year-old Private Cheryl James from Llangollen was found

:14:33. > :14:35.with a single gunshot wound to the head at Deepcut Barracks

:14:36. > :14:37.in 1995 amid claims of bullying and sexual assault.

:14:38. > :14:41.A new inquest into her death is continuing.

:14:42. > :14:56.What was life like at deep cut barracks in Surrey more than 20

:14:57. > :15:01.years ago? And could it have contributed to the death of this

:15:02. > :15:07.teenage soldier from Angolan? Alison Foster QC is representing her family

:15:08. > :15:11.at the new inquest into her death. She asked the man in charge of

:15:12. > :15:15.welfare in the Army now about the barracks in 1995. There's the army

:15:16. > :15:22.accept that some officers saw recruits as a sexual challenge? He

:15:23. > :15:24.said, yes, we do. Sadly not everybody subscribed to the set of

:15:25. > :15:59.values that one would wish. This woman was a close friend of

:16:00. > :16:05.hers at the barracks and she told the inquest the cab at the time was

:16:06. > :16:09.pretty diabolical. Life was not much of an existence. Another friend told

:16:10. > :16:14.the coroner that a Sergeant at the base has taken a liking to her but

:16:15. > :16:18.the feeling was not mutual. She said she never heard of the Sergeant Mick

:16:19. > :16:22.Brennan approaches towards her but she knew she did not like him. She

:16:23. > :16:28.was later ordered to carry out tasks such as picking up litter in the

:16:29. > :16:33.rain. The inquest continues. Des James has listened for two years now

:16:34. > :16:38.about life at the barracks while his daughter was there. Tonight, they

:16:39. > :16:42.said, for the first time in 20 years, they feel they have received

:16:43. > :16:45.a public acknowledgement of the concerns they have been raising.

:16:46. > :16:46.Much more to come before seven o'clock.

:16:47. > :16:49.There are serious problems with the EU but we should stay in.

:16:50. > :16:56.And much nicer today with sunshine and lighter winds.

:16:57. > :17:05.More rain and a risk of snow over the weekend.

:17:06. > :17:08.Tata Steel, who've announced heavy job losses at their Port Talbot

:17:09. > :17:12.steelworkers, say they're "deeply concerned" that Europe could be

:17:13. > :17:14."sleepwalking" into an even deeper steel crisis.

:17:15. > :17:18.Managers from the company have been giving evidence

:17:19. > :17:30.Let's talk to our parliamentary correspondent David Cornock.

:17:31. > :17:37.Those 750 job losses at Port Talbot were announced last month but today

:17:38. > :17:42.was the first chance that MPs got to question the people who took the

:17:43. > :17:46.decisions, who axed those jobs, on the spot, to find out more about the

:17:47. > :17:49.reasons for them and to find out whether governments in Westminster

:17:50. > :17:52.or Cardiff could have done more to prevent them.

:17:53. > :17:55.Welsh steel may be considered among the best in the world but it now has

:17:56. > :17:57.to compete with cheaper steel imported from China.

:17:58. > :18:00.A key reason behind the job cuts at Port Talbot.

:18:01. > :18:03.Now the steelworks' owner fears things could get worse if China gets

:18:04. > :18:13.Tata Steel, alongside the steel industry in Europe in general

:18:14. > :18:16.is deeply concerned about Europe apparently sleepwalking

:18:17. > :18:20.into potentially an even greater steel crisis by the granting

:18:21. > :18:26.The UK Government says that is a red herring and would not stop the EU

:18:27. > :18:31.Another factor in the job losses is high energy costs.

:18:32. > :18:35.A scheme to help intensive energy users has just been approved

:18:36. > :18:39.in Europe but Tata Steel says it has not seen any money yet and has been

:18:40. > :18:43.waiting two years for tens of millions of pounds.

:18:44. > :18:47.One MP complained that the government subsidised wind farms

:18:48. > :18:54.Why do we give government subsidies to companies which are not willing

:18:55. > :19:01.Because you can't force them to buy British.

:19:02. > :19:09.If we were a free market economy, we would not have to give them any

:19:10. > :19:13.The minister said the UK Government would do everything it

:19:14. > :19:16.could to ensure steel continues to be made at Port Talbot

:19:17. > :19:21.and to help those who are losing their jobs there.

:19:22. > :19:32.The MPs also heard from the steelworkers union Community, which

:19:33. > :19:36.again demanded more action to stop cheap Chinese imports coming into

:19:37. > :19:41.the UK and into the EU. The MPs will take away the evidence they heard

:19:42. > :19:42.today, draw up their conclusions and should publish their report early

:19:43. > :19:44.next month. Informal talks between Plaid Cymru,

:19:45. > :19:47.the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats on a possible pact ahead

:19:48. > :19:49.of May's Assembly elections have One proposal was for two

:19:50. > :19:55.of the parties to withdraw candidates in seats where the third

:19:56. > :19:58.party had a chance of victory. The Greens said the "electoral math

:19:59. > :20:01.was there" but not The other big vote apart from that

:20:02. > :20:06.Welsh election in May is a possible Plaid's leader Leanne Wood

:20:07. > :20:13.launched her party's Wales in Europe campaign today, highlighting

:20:14. > :20:18.what she says are the benefits The Rhondda Valley,

:20:19. > :20:25.like large parts of Wales, is in the lower reaches of the EU

:20:26. > :20:28.wealth league table, so it has had financial aid

:20:29. > :20:32.from Brussels for the last 16 years. And it was at one of

:20:33. > :20:36.the beneficiaries - this community centre and live

:20:37. > :20:39.music venue in Porth - that Plaid launched its campaign

:20:40. > :20:43.for Britain to stay in the EU. Even if the artwork

:20:44. > :20:47.was not fully on message. Plaid leader Leanne Wood said

:20:48. > :20:50.she is happy to campaign with other parties, despite the looming

:20:51. > :20:54.election, but she wants to focus on the benefits of membership,

:20:55. > :20:58.not the risks of exit. Last month, Leanne Wood criticised

:20:59. > :21:01.the First Minister Carwyn Jones for failing to portray
