:00:00. > :00:00.at 8 o'clock. Now Thousands of Welsh steel workers
:00:00. > :00:10.take their message to the heart of Europe to urge support
:00:11. > :00:13.for their ailing industry. Give us a fair chance
:00:14. > :00:18.for our future. We will make a bit of noise today
:00:19. > :00:23.and hopefully it will put pressure Labour promises a hundred thousand
:00:24. > :00:41.apprenticeships if the party wins Are anti-depressants
:00:42. > :00:47.prescribed too easily? A professor of psychiatry says
:00:48. > :00:51.doctors are "all but forcing" One of Wales' worst marine
:00:52. > :00:57.disasters. 20 years after the Sea Empress
:00:58. > :01:01.spilled oil across the Pembrokeshire A set-back to Rhys Webb's hopes
:01:02. > :01:07.of being re-called for the rest And some of the biggest
:01:08. > :01:12.names in snooker are here but will a Welshman take
:01:13. > :01:14.the Welsh Open title for the first A senior EU commissioner has told
:01:15. > :01:24.this programme they're already putting tariffs on Chinese steel
:01:25. > :01:29.products coming into the UK. It comes as steel workers from Wales
:01:30. > :01:33.joined thousands from across Europe at a protest in Brussels to demand
:01:34. > :01:37.action from the European Union They say cheap Chinese steel
:01:38. > :01:42.is threatening their business. Hundreds of job losses have already
:01:43. > :01:47.been announced at Tata Steel here. From Brussels, here's our business
:01:48. > :02:05.correspondent Brian Meechan. Save our steel! A message loud and
:02:06. > :02:10.clear. Some of these Tata workers in the company's worked here not only
:02:11. > :02:15.worried about the long-term. Some are facing redundancy as 750 jobs go
:02:16. > :02:19.at Port Talbot. We want to make a bit of noise and we want to put
:02:20. > :02:24.pressure on the European Parliament to put sanctions on the Chinese
:02:25. > :02:30.deal. It is about fighting for our jobs. These survival of the UK steel
:02:31. > :02:37.industry. It is a desperate situation and we need urgent action.
:02:38. > :02:41.We have 50 steelworkers from Tata in south Wales joining 5000 workers
:02:42. > :02:46.from across Europe at the home of the European Commission in Brussels.
:02:47. > :02:52.They are not marching alone. They are marching with the bosses of
:02:53. > :02:57.tartar, including the head of Tata Steel in Europe. That shows the
:02:58. > :03:04.management and workers are united in their message to stop the dumping
:03:05. > :03:09.from China. They were joined by 5000 others from across Europe. China
:03:10. > :03:15.denies it is dumping steel, selling below its value or what it costs to
:03:16. > :03:19.make, but critics argue it is clearly happening. Tata's European
:03:20. > :03:22.boss says we need to learn from their mistakes of the past when
:03:23. > :03:29.energy costs took years to deal with. We are here for free and fair
:03:30. > :03:34.trade. We want the commission to apply the instruments to keep action
:03:35. > :03:39.against dumping steel from China which is affecting the market in
:03:40. > :03:46.Europe. It has got to be fast and effective. The Welsh steelworkers
:03:47. > :03:51.stopped outside the European Commission headquarters and were in
:03:52. > :03:56.good spirits, but I met with one of Europe's most senior figures to see
:03:57. > :04:02.if their voices were being heard. There are 37 trades defending
:04:03. > :04:07.measures in place at the moment, 16 relate directly to China, so we are
:04:08. > :04:11.doing quite a lot and every time there are accusations, we start
:04:12. > :04:14.looking at what is the reality and if there is a need to do any
:04:15. > :04:21.anti-dumping or trade defence measures. The UK Government has been
:04:22. > :04:25.criticised for not backing tougher measures to raise the cost of
:04:26. > :04:32.Chinese steel. In Brussels, the businessmen Anna Soubry rejected the
:04:33. > :04:36.complaints. It is important we don't get diverted into what might happen
:04:37. > :04:40.in the future in relation to China. If you look at tariffs, it could
:04:41. > :04:46.take years to change that. This industry has not got the time. It
:04:47. > :04:52.wants action today. We have already lost in six months well over 5500
:04:53. > :04:59.jobs, never mind the effect it has on the supply chain. The
:05:00. > :05:03.steelworkers certainly had their day in protest. Whether they get the
:05:04. > :05:05.response they want at the speed they wanted is another matter.
:05:06. > :05:08.Brian, doesn't this all highlight how significant China has become
:05:09. > :05:22.It really does. China is a major force. It is the second-biggest
:05:23. > :05:27.economy in the world and it has had a negative impact on Wales, as we
:05:28. > :05:31.have seen a lot of manufacturing jobs go to China and other parts of
:05:32. > :05:37.Asia and there is no doubt that Chinese steel is having an impact
:05:38. > :05:44.Welsh steelmakers. However, we have seen Chailly invest quite heavily in
:05:45. > :05:49.biomass. Two plants in Wales. We have seen China invest ?300 million
:05:50. > :05:54.in Cardiff Metropolitan University so that money is coming in. When of
:05:55. > :05:58.the difficulties when you get into tariffs is that they can escalate.
:05:59. > :06:05.It began become a tit-for-tat approach. Countries just start
:06:06. > :06:10.slapping tariffs on each other. We have seen that with the United
:06:11. > :06:14.States and the European Union. It is not specific to China. That is
:06:15. > :06:16.something countries try to avoid. So it is not an entirely
:06:17. > :06:18.straightforward matter. Labour has announced six key pledges
:06:19. > :06:21.for May's Assembly election. The First Minister Carwyn Jones
:06:22. > :06:25.promised funding for new treatments on the NHS and better
:06:26. > :06:27.school standards. But opponents say Labour's Welsh
:06:28. > :06:31.government has failed to deliver. Our political correspondent
:06:32. > :06:35.Daniel Davies reports. The motto applies to building
:06:36. > :06:41.aeroplanes and putting together Carwyn Jones visited the Airbus
:06:42. > :06:49.factory in Flintshire today promising a future Labour government
:06:50. > :06:53.would create more apprentices. One of his six big ideas
:06:54. > :06:57.for May's election. There will be more to come
:06:58. > :07:00.when we publish our manifesto but these are the promises we ask
:07:01. > :07:05.you to measure us by in 2021. If it wins it would create 100,000
:07:06. > :07:11.apprenticeships over five years. There would be a fund to pay
:07:12. > :07:15.for new treatments on the NHS. Labour says it would offer a tax
:07:16. > :07:19.break to more small businesses Schools would see a ?100 million
:07:20. > :07:25.fund to improve standards. Parents would get an extra ten
:07:26. > :07:28.weeks of free childcare And the amount of money elderly
:07:29. > :07:33.people could keep if they have to sell their home to go into care
:07:34. > :07:38.would double to ?50,000. We are talking about older people,
:07:39. > :07:42.talking of opportunities for youngsters, talking about jobs,
:07:43. > :07:46.health, economy, education, These are the things that affect
:07:47. > :07:50.people's everyday lives and they expect political
:07:51. > :07:52.parties to make promises on improving their
:07:53. > :07:55.lives and rightly so. The opposition says Labour has had
:07:56. > :07:59.plenty of time to improve people's lives in the 17 years it has
:08:00. > :08:02.already spent in power. Sadly we have had 17 years
:08:03. > :08:05.of stagnation with Labour and we are always told
:08:06. > :08:08.it is going to get better tomorrow. These pledges are the same as at any
:08:09. > :08:11.election that Labour bring forward. You can't really believe
:08:12. > :08:14.a word they say. Labour has been in charge either
:08:15. > :08:17.alone or in coalition since the Assembly
:08:18. > :08:20.was created in 1999. Delivery, that is what he
:08:21. > :08:24.promised five years ago. Now he says the job is only half
:08:25. > :08:28.finished and he needs another five Daniel, if any of this
:08:29. > :08:44.is to become reality, Absolutely. There was a poll out
:08:45. > :08:48.this morning suggesting that maybe Labour are some way off that
:08:49. > :08:54.majority. Still the biggest party by quite some margin but the majority
:08:55. > :08:58.that eluded them at the Le two elections still looks quite elusive.
:08:59. > :09:01.That poll also showed despite a dreadful row in the party over
:09:02. > :09:08.choosing candidates, Ukip is still polling well. We will keep an eye on
:09:09. > :09:12.that. But if Labour or anyone else. Of that majority, possibly parties
:09:13. > :09:16.behind closed doors haggling over which of these policies they want to
:09:17. > :09:22.work together to implement. Just a couple of things to point out in the
:09:23. > :09:25.announcement today, 100,000 apprenticeships. That is not
:09:26. > :09:29.dramatically more than the Welsh government creates already but
:09:30. > :09:33.people in industry say if Labour or anyone else can guarantee a steady
:09:34. > :09:38.supply of apprentices and the funding that requires, that is no
:09:39. > :09:42.bad thing. On the new funding for new treatments on the NHS for
:09:43. > :09:46.improving school standards, that really goes to the heart of the big
:09:47. > :09:49.rows in the Assembly over the last five years and more. Has Labour
:09:50. > :09:54.delivered better public services under devolution? The opposition
:09:55. > :10:00.will say no, this is more of the same. The challenge for Labour is
:10:01. > :10:04.this, if they think Labour Ash Wales is on the right track, you would not
:10:05. > :10:06.expect them to tear it all up and start again. But perhaps people
:10:07. > :10:08.expected more. A man accused of raping a student
:10:09. > :10:11.during fresher's week in Cardiff was preying on single,
:10:12. > :10:14.drunk women, a court has heard. Reemus Hamza is alleged to have
:10:15. > :10:17.attacked the 20-year-old near Cardiff University
:10:18. > :10:19.as she walked home alone Police are appealing for information
:10:20. > :10:29.on the whereabouts of a woman from Cardiff who's been
:10:30. > :10:32.missing since Friday night. Janine Loddo was last seen
:10:33. > :10:34.in the Popworld club She left the club, formerly known
:10:35. > :10:39.as Flares, without her phone and coat, which have been
:10:40. > :10:42.handed into officers. Her family say it's out of character
:10:43. > :10:48.for her not to make contact. Are anti-depressants drugs
:10:49. > :10:52.being prescribed too freely? According to a professor
:10:53. > :10:55.of psychiatry from North Wales, GPs are failing patients and should
:10:56. > :10:59.demand more information The latest figures show the use
:11:00. > :11:04.of anti-depressants has As part of the BBC's
:11:05. > :11:10.In the Mind Season, In Wales, not tens but hundreds
:11:11. > :11:17.of thousands of us depend on them. Anti-depressants like Prozac
:11:18. > :11:20.and Seroxat are said to be among the most successful
:11:21. > :11:23.drugs of all time. It is estimated one in six of those
:11:24. > :11:27.of working age in Wales, that is more than a quarter
:11:28. > :11:30.of a million people, It was a gradual feeling of sinking
:11:31. > :11:36.lower and lower and lower, and then you find yourself

:11:46. > :11:51.anything and you have serious obsessive suicidal thoughts
:11:52. > :11:56.and that is when I really worried The most commonly used
:11:57. > :12:02.anti-depressant drugs make billions for the pharmaceutical industry
:12:03. > :12:05.but are they being too Figures supplied to us showed an 8%
:12:06. > :12:12.increase in the last year alone. Professor David Healy is a long-time
:12:13. > :12:16.critic of drugs businesses. The anti-depressants have been sold
:12:17. > :12:22.as working wonderfully well and coming pretty well
:12:23. > :12:25.free of risks. If doctors really knew
:12:26. > :12:28.about the risks, they would be They would say, you don't
:12:29. > :12:35.necessarily want to have these They can do good but
:12:36. > :12:41.they can be tricky. And Malan Wilkinson agrees other
:12:42. > :12:43.therapies should be used Prescription drugs and
:12:44. > :12:49.anti-depressants provide a very fast and easy answer to an extremely
:12:50. > :12:52.difficult, long-term issue. It is all about medics being seen
:12:53. > :12:55.to be doing something and very often, from personal experience,
:12:56. > :12:59.drugs or anti-depressants, very rarely, not at all in my case,
:13:00. > :13:02.address the root cause But is it really this
:13:03. > :13:07.straightforward? Critics claim doctors
:13:08. > :13:09.are overprescribing and the statistics seem to back that
:13:10. > :13:13.up but what about Amitriptyline? It is an anti-depressant
:13:14. > :13:17.but it is commonly prescribed How does that feature
:13:18. > :13:22.in the figures? And Phil White, a GP
:13:23. > :13:24.in Menai Bridge, says drugs are often supplied in the short

:13:29. > :13:33.is one treatment option, counselling, referrals,
:13:34. > :13:36.another treatment option and a combination of both is also
:13:37. > :13:40.suitable for some people. However, waiting times for some
:13:41. > :13:43.of these non-medical treatments are so long, you can't

:15:16. > :15:18.immediate assistance. All steerage on the
:15:19. > :15:29.vessel had been lost. We are getting reports that 147,000
:15:30. > :15:31.tonne tanker has run aground in south Wales and is said to be
:15:32. > :15:33.spilling oil. There was a week-long drama
:15:34. > :15:35.as the World watched. A salvage operation was underway
:15:36. > :15:37.to move the vessel. 72,000 tonnes of crude oil and 370
:15:38. > :15:40.tonnes of heavy fuel spewed The grounding was found
:15:41. > :15:46.to be due to pilot error. 20 years on, now Milford Haven Port

:15:53. > :15:57.developing an app now used in the world's busiest shipping
:15:58. > :15:59.area, the Panama Canal. And all vessels of a certain
:16:00. > :16:11.size have an escort tug I think the lessons that were
:16:12. > :16:16.learned from it and taken from the incident have been applied now. A
:16:17. > :16:20.lot of investment and an awful lot of training. We have got eight or
:16:21. > :16:27.nine of the largest harbour tugs in the world in the ports. They are
:16:28. > :16:30.very modern, recent new builds, very manoeuvrable and extremely powerful.
:16:31. > :16:37.Boats like this one run out of Milford Haven 20 miles a day. To
:16:38. > :16:40.bring in vessel is like this tanker. Now the pilots are extensively
:16:41. > :16:43.trained by simulator. That was not the case 20 years ago when the Sea

:20:48. > :20:51.I don't think it will keep him out too long but it is something we have
:20:52. > :20:54.got to make sure, particularly with these head injury assessments,
:20:55. > :20:56.we have to make sure that players are at the forefront
:20:57. > :21:02.Wales' Six Nations title ambitions are still alive after the win
:21:03. > :21:06.Three tries were enough to overcome Scotland.
:21:07. > :21:09.George North got the third, beating five men as he raced
:21:10. > :21:15.So, let's take a look at the Six Nations table tonight.
:21:16. > :21:18.Wales are on three points after recording their first win
:21:19. > :21:21.of this year's championship, while France, who beat reigning
:21:22. > :21:27.champions Ireland, are second - a place above Wales.
:21:28. > :21:31.Football, and Wales are unsure if Gareth Bale and Joe Allen will be
:21:32. > :21:34.fit for their friendly matches against Northern Ireland
:21:35. > :21:39.Bale, who hasn't played since last month, is expected to miss
:21:40. > :21:43.Real Madrid's Champions League game against Roma on Wednesday
:21:44. > :21:48.after suffering a minor setback in his recovery from a calf injury.
:21:49. > :21:53.It's important that the players play as many games as possible and have
:21:54. > :21:58.that rhythm going into the end of the season but at the same time
:21:59. > :22:02.it is important that injuries such as these are fully healed
:22:03. > :22:08.Some of the best players in the world of snooker
:22:09. > :22:12.It's been 17 years since a Welshman took the title.
:22:13. > :22:19.He's through to the second round but all eyes were
:22:20. > :22:23.on Ronnie O'Sullivan, who deliberately avoided securing
:22:24. > :22:26.a maximum 147 break, saying the prize fund
:22:27. > :22:40.For instance of the best snooker players in the world, Cardiff is the
:22:41. > :22:45.place to be over the next seven days, but Willie Welchman Willem the
:22:46. > :22:51.title this year? It has been a long 17 year wait. He is the only man to
:22:52. > :22:56.win the Welsh Open, back in 1999. Mark Williams also clinched the
:22:57. > :23:02.title in 1996. Today he may have struggled at times but did reach the
:23:03. > :23:06.second round. Ten Welchman will have battled it out by this evening with
:23:07. > :23:11.Matthew Stevens and Dominic Dale playing later tonight. The Welsh may
:23:12. > :23:14.not be setting the world alight but one former world champion is not
:23:15. > :23:20.concerned about the state of the game in Wales. There will always be
:23:21. > :23:26.talent coming through because of the structure. They are putting these
:23:27. > :23:31.events on every weekend for young players to play in. As you know in
:23:32. > :23:37.any sport, competition is so important. You have got to have
:23:38. > :23:42.that. You coach personally. Looking at the talent in Wales, how are we
:23:43. > :23:48.looking at the moment? I am the best, obviously. On with the snooker
:23:49. > :23:53.and last year the venue itself was criticised. Five-time world champion
:23:54. > :23:57.Ronnie O'Sullivan said it was like playing in an aircraft hangar. He
:23:58. > :24:01.was more, the medley today but created the headlines by turning
:24:02. > :24:08.down the chance to score a maximum 147 as the ?10,000 prize money was
:24:09. > :24:16.not enough. He feels it is not enough money. A 147 is a very
:24:17. > :24:22.special moment and so you want it to feel special all around. I thought
:24:23. > :24:27.that was value for money for the punters today. The night the
:24:28. > :24:33.chairman of World Snooker said his behaviour was unacceptable and this
:24:34. > :24:39.respect Bill to the paying public. -- this respectful. It is a busy
:24:40. > :24:44.venue with 128 players accommodated. They have a lounge to relax but the
:24:45. > :24:49.most important area for the players is the practice room. A chance for
:24:50. > :24:51.some last-minute preparation. They are all aiming for that ?60,000 pot
:24:52. > :24:55.which will be won on Sunday. Staying in and watching the snooker
:24:56. > :24:58.is not a bad idea when it's It's not going to stay dry all week
:24:59. > :25:05.but today has been lovely. Caroline was up early this morning
:25:06. > :25:11.for sunrise on a snow And in Barmouth, these donkeys
:25:12. > :25:15.enjoyed plenty of sunshine down Now, the lowest temperature recorded
:25:16. > :25:20.in Wales so far this winter is minus seven Ceksius at Tirabad
:25:21. > :25:23.in Powys back in January and tonight The sky clear and the
:25:24. > :25:27.temperature is tumbling. A few degrees below inland

:25:38. > :25:43.with high cirrus clouds. Breezier on Anglesey so not quite
