Two of Wales' police forces need to do more to reduce crime

:00:00.:00:08.

There is scope for improvement. We've been addressing those over the

:00:09.:00:23.

last five months. Some of them have been met. Some in the course of

:00:24.:00:31.

being met. Dyfed Powys has the lowest crime rate in England and

:00:32.:00:32.

Wales, but they could do better. As the Prime Minister negotiates

:00:33.:00:45.

in Brussels what impact is there on the nature

:00:46.:00:48.

of the debate here? I think we should leave the EU

:00:49.:01:03.

because it is more expensive. Let us be a country on a run.

:01:04.:01:08.

I think it would be good for us to stay in.

:01:09.:01:12.

One in ten new mothers, like Laura Derney, experience

:01:13.:01:14.

The study by Welsh scientists to find out why.

:01:15.:01:21.

The pressure is all around you. Everyone thinks you're sad. I wasn't

:01:22.:01:26.

sad. I was hollow. And the Duke and Duchess

:01:27.:01:29.

of Cambridge return to Anglesey, as the Royal Air Force officially

:01:30.:01:33.

marks the end of its search Two of Wales' police forces need

:01:34.:01:36.

to do more to reduce crime and keep people safe according

:01:37.:01:44.

to the police watchdog. Her Majesty's Inspectorate

:01:45.:01:47.

of Constabulary says Dyfed-Powys and North Wales Police

:01:48.:01:50.

require "improvement". However, Gwent and South Wales

:01:51.:01:54.

Police were ranked as "good". Abigail Neal is live

:01:55.:01:58.

from Dyfed Powys Police Headquarters tonight, from where she's

:01:59.:02:00.

sent this report. It's one aspect of policing

:02:01.:02:03.

which rarely makes the headlines, not responding to,

:02:04.:02:05.

but trying to prevent crime. Work like this earned Gwent

:02:06.:02:09.

police a "good" rating, a skateboarding programme that's

:02:10.:02:13.

reduced anti-social behaviour by almost 20%, keeping youngsters

:02:14.:02:16.

on the right side of the law. There was nothing else to do. You'd

:02:17.:02:30.

go to the park and play football. That's it. Now we have something to

:02:31.:02:36.

look forward to. The youth workers get you in shape

:02:37.:02:39.

so your behaviour changes. In organised crime too,

:02:40.:02:42.

like the widespread fraud scam involving cash for crash Gwent

:02:43.:02:44.

were judged as good, overall the HMIC said they'd made

:02:45.:02:47.

considerable progress But Wales's two rural forces

:02:48.:02:49.

have been told there's HMIC said North Wales police needed

:02:50.:02:53.

to do more to understand emerging threats like human trafficking

:02:54.:02:59.

and that some officers were investigating crimes

:03:00.:03:03.

beyond their level of training including high-risk domestic abuse

:03:04.:03:06.

cases, a criticism challenged today I have the strongest possible

:03:07.:03:25.

rebuttal from the Chief Constable of the way they have gone about this

:03:26.:03:29.

particular aspect of it. The allocation of cases in North Wales,

:03:30.:03:34.

I'm quite satisfied, is done on a very solid, sound basis.

:03:35.:03:37.

Dyfed Powys was told it needs to improve the way it allocates

:03:38.:03:40.

crime for investigation and to better spot the vulnerability

:03:41.:03:42.

The force says it's able to offer a more local service and a new help

:03:43.:03:47.

hub, is increasing support to victims of crime.

:03:48.:03:51.

Dyfed Powys can still boast the lowest crime rate in England

:03:52.:03:56.

Inspectors are more concerned about process. I'm concerned with outcomes

:03:57.:04:03.

and how the public see the police and how safely archived.

:04:04.:04:05.

Dyfed Powys can still boast the lowest crime rate in England

:04:06.:04:09.

And that's meant closing or merging some police stations and using other

:04:10.:04:13.

methods like these mobile vans to maintain their community presence

:04:14.:04:20.

in the end in the face of tough financial budgets all of this comes

:04:21.:04:23.

down to resources how a force chooses to prioritise them.

:04:24.:04:27.

In South Wales, the force is judged good at both the local level

:04:28.:04:30.

understanding the neighbourhoods they police.

:04:31.:04:34.

Tackling serious criminal drugs gangs by deploying specialist

:04:35.:04:39.

officers, police forces across Wales face very different challenges,

:04:40.:04:42.

but the standards they have to meet do not.

:04:43.:04:50.

Abi, how important are these inspections?

:04:51.:04:58.

These annual inspections by the independent police watchdog

:04:59.:05:00.

are intended to give the public, who all pay for policing

:05:01.:05:05.

through their taxes, a detailed picture of the state

:05:06.:05:07.

They're judged on three areas, effectiveness i.e.

:05:08.:05:11.

How well they prevent and reduce crime, efficiency in terms

:05:12.:05:15.

of the value for money they provide and legitimacy,

:05:16.:05:17.

The areas for improvement highlighted for Dyfed Powys

:05:18.:05:22.

and North Wales come under that first area,

:05:23.:05:25.

effectiveness, but they are far from alone.

:05:26.:05:32.

Its not about detecting crime. It's not about how many cases are

:05:33.:05:43.

prosecuted. I suspect the public may be interested, but it's not the only

:05:44.:05:46.

measure by which they will be judged.

:05:47.:05:48.

The proportion of patients spending more than four hours in Welsh A E

:05:49.:05:51.

units increased in January compared with December,

:05:52.:05:54.

and was higher than the same time last year.

:05:55.:05:56.

According to the Welsh Government, January was the busiest month

:05:57.:05:59.

on record for Emergency departments, with around 10% more cases

:06:00.:06:02.

Ministers insist the average time spent in A is just over two hours.

:06:03.:06:09.

Opposition parties say the performance is unacceptable.

:06:10.:06:15.

A mother from Swansea was killed by a speeding driver weeks

:06:16.:06:18.

after he completed a speed awareness course.

:06:19.:06:21.

Kiran Giri was travelling at least 50 miles an hour in a 30 zone before

:06:22.:06:24.

Ms Parker was hit as she crossed the road on Sketty Lane,

:06:25.:06:29.

Giri was suspended from driving for two years.

:06:30.:06:39.

Swansea Market was closed for most of the afternoon after a fire.

:06:40.:06:41.

The market was evacuated after a small fire started

:06:42.:06:44.

The county council say it's too early to assess the scale

:06:45.:06:49.

of the damage, but the market is expected to reopen

:06:50.:06:52.

Your chance to decide whether we leave or remain in the EU

:06:53.:06:58.

could move a step closer in the next few days.

:06:59.:07:00.

The Prime Minister is in Brussels tonight where he hopes to agree

:07:01.:07:03.

a deal on changes that would trigger a referendum as early as June.

:07:04.:07:06.

The negotiations may be intense, but what impact are they having

:07:07.:07:10.

on the nature of the debate here, and will the result of the talks

:07:11.:07:13.

Our political editor Nick Servini has finding out.

:07:14.:07:26.

Welcome to the EU funding capital of Wales, Merthyr Tydfil. This is where

:07:27.:07:34.

the Welsh European funding office is based. It has also had plenty of

:07:35.:07:39.

cash from Brussels. If it was down to EU aid in the near

:07:40.:07:44.

limitless they would be no contest in a referendum. It's not that

:07:45.:07:47.

simple. This time, at times, has had a

:07:48.:07:52.

strained relationship with the EU. A new wave of migrants has caused

:07:53.:07:58.

concern and last year, Ukip launch their General Election campaign in

:07:59.:08:03.

Merthyr Tydfil. The way things are going at the

:08:04.:08:12.

moment I think we should leave. They are letting foreign people in and we

:08:13.:08:17.

don't know what we are letting on. We are letting criminals in,

:08:18.:08:21.

robbers. Some decent people, but aren't.

:08:22.:08:25.

I think we shouldn't have gone in the first place, but if we come out

:08:26.:08:29.

will it affect our economy? I'm sitting on the fence.

:08:30.:08:35.

If we was on our own the money in our country would be for us, but

:08:36.:08:40.

when you're in the EU its spread out. I think there's a lot more

:08:41.:08:43.

causes in this country that need to be dealt with.

:08:44.:08:48.

I think we have funding from them so it would be good to stay in.

:08:49.:08:53.

This man is a Portuguese pub manager who moved to the three years ago

:08:54.:08:56.

after living in Belgium. He thinks the EU should remain in. But he has

:08:57.:09:05.

serious concerns. The UK benefit system, the NHS, they

:09:06.:09:10.

might be a lot of people that come in only for that. I think if people

:09:11.:09:15.

come to work, I think that's a positive thing. If people don't come

:09:16.:09:21.

to work, it's not. For everyone is here, immigrant or not, I think it

:09:22.:09:27.

wouldn't be a good thing. The debate has already been sparked

:09:28.:09:33.

at this engineering company. Many people have already made up their

:09:34.:09:37.

minds, but the man in charge here says he is waiting on the details of

:09:38.:09:40.

the Prime Minister's reforms. If he comes back and says he's got

:09:41.:09:47.

only once, obviously, it's a plus. You analyse what he's got.

:09:48.:09:54.

But what you want? I want to know more about it.

:09:55.:09:57.

I want an improvement on what we've got. Myth is a long way from

:09:58.:10:02.

Brussels. But it's in towns and valleys like this with the arguments

:10:03.:10:05.

will be one, or lost, in the months ahead.

:10:06.:10:08.

Intense negotiations going on in Brussels tonight,

:10:09.:10:11.

are they at the forefront of people's minds here?

:10:12.:10:17.

Getting on peoples radar, we need a date in the calendar, and, of

:10:18.:10:23.

course, we could get that in the next few days. When we have a date

:10:24.:10:27.

in the diary it will focus people's minds. Speaking to people in Merthyr

:10:28.:10:34.

today, clearly a lot of the issues will be the same wherever you are in

:10:35.:10:39.

the UK. It was a Welsh dynamic about EU aid on the levels we've had in

:10:40.:10:43.

Wales in recent years. It is apparent in a place like Merthyr.

:10:44.:10:47.

There are a lot of times like Merthyr in Wales who had a lot of

:10:48.:10:51.

money from Brussels, it provokes challenges for both sites. I don't

:10:52.:10:56.

think it's good enough any more to say, look, we've had loads of money

:10:57.:10:59.

in the past, look what we could lose. They need to prove that it's

:11:00.:11:03.

made a tangible difference to communities. Likewise, on the league

:11:04.:11:06.

side, they've got to prove that the money will still be there, it will

:11:07.:11:09.

just come from different source. will still be there, it will just

:11:10.:11:11.

come from different source. And you can find out more

:11:12.:11:14.

about the EU referendum On tomorrow's programme,

:11:15.:11:16.

how the right kind of exercise can Welsh scientists are trying

:11:17.:11:26.

to find out what causes Around one in ten new mothers

:11:27.:11:28.

will experience problems with their mental health -

:11:29.:11:31.

and while genetics, and even lack of sleep are all regarded

:11:32.:11:34.

as possible reasons no-one can say They'll study tens of thousands

:11:35.:11:37.

of women across the world. As part of the BBC's In the Mind

:11:38.:11:40.

series Caroline Evans Laura began to suffer with

:11:41.:11:55.

depression after giving birth to her first child. The pressure is all

:11:56.:12:00.

around you. Everyone thinks you're sad.

:12:01.:12:05.

I wasn't sad. I was hollow. I couldn't feel anything. I knew I

:12:06.:12:09.

loved the kids, because everyone assumes that you don't like your

:12:10.:12:14.

children, my children with the best thing in my life. And then my

:12:15.:12:18.

husband. And the rest of my family. They were all great will stop it was

:12:19.:12:22.

me that was the problem. I couldn't feel. It's estimated that

:12:23.:12:27.

around 3500 women in Wales are affected. Around one in 1000 will

:12:28.:12:33.

experience postpartum psychosis. An extremely serious condition that can

:12:34.:12:37.

lead to hallucinations and delusions. So here at the National

:12:38.:12:43.

Centre for mental health in Cardiff they are hoping to find out why

:12:44.:12:46.

women like Laura suffer the way they do. DNA is thought to play a major

:12:47.:12:54.

role, but it is not solely responsible. Here, collaborating

:12:55.:12:56.

with the University of North Carolina, they plan to collect

:12:57.:12:59.

information from towns of thousands of women to investigate why, even

:13:00.:13:04.

where women share the same delight at risk factors, some suffer

:13:05.:13:07.

depression, and others do not. -- genetic risk factors. Something

:13:08.:13:13.

about having a baby triggers these episodes of depressive illness. It

:13:14.:13:18.

could be the big life change, biological change happening in

:13:19.:13:25.

pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal fluctuations, we really want to

:13:26.:13:29.

understand these conditions. We want to understand what those complex

:13:30.:13:34.

interactions are. We want that to lead to better treatment in the

:13:35.:13:37.

future. Last year the Welsh government

:13:38.:13:40.

increased funding in this area by one point ?5 million. -- one 5p. But

:13:41.:13:50.

there are currently no mother and baby treatment centres in Wales, and

:13:51.:13:55.

only two out of seven health boards offer specialist provision in

:13:56.:14:05.

perinatal mental health. Laura says she got the treatment she needed,

:14:06.:14:09.

and she feels better now than she has in years. She welcomes the

:14:10.:14:14.

research, which she hopes, could help others like her get through it

:14:15.:14:15.

too. And tomorrow we look at how the

:14:16.:14:25.

right exercise can help your mental health. A leading charity is looking

:14:26.:14:30.

for a transformation in the way we use sports to do with our problems.

:14:31.:14:31.

we use sports to do with our problems.

:14:32.:14:33.

What's the best way of helping students with the cost

:14:34.:14:35.

It's likely to be one of the keenest debates in the run up to May's

:14:36.:14:41.

election .At the moment Welsh students get help

:14:42.:14:42.

with paying their tuition fees, which can cost up to ?9000 a year.

:14:43.:14:46.

The Welsh government pays most of that sum through a grant

:14:47.:14:48.

which means students are charged a maximum of just over ?3,800.

:14:49.:14:51.

Today the Welsh Conservatives said they would scrap the grant

:14:52.:14:53.

if they got into power, and pay around half

:14:54.:14:55.

Our political reporter Bethan Lewis has been taking a look.

:14:56.:15:06.

Taking a break from their studies, students can rack up thousands

:15:07.:15:14.

during their college life. There are fees aid and living costs two. Rent,

:15:15.:15:23.

food and day-to-day spending. The Government hopes but the best way of

:15:24.:15:28.

balancing help for students is a big political issue. The Conservatives

:15:29.:15:32.

say they'd scrap help with tuition fees which only have to be paid back

:15:33.:15:36.

once during more than ?21,000 a year and contribute to the cost of rent

:15:37.:15:39.

instead. The biggest obstacle to students

:15:40.:15:44.

being able to go forward is living costs. That policy will meet the

:15:45.:15:49.

need. It is sustainable and can be carried forward.

:15:50.:15:52.

It's affordable. Students would get around half of their rent during

:15:53.:15:57.

term time paid for. About ?59 a week on average according to the

:15:58.:16:02.

Conservatives. About ?1800 per student per year. That would cost

:16:03.:16:05.

the Welsh government one third of what it pays out at the moment, the

:16:06.:16:09.

party claims. They are not the only ones who think the current system

:16:10.:16:15.

needs to change. Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats would scrap the

:16:16.:16:18.

tuition fee grant to. Plaid Cymru instead would pay off some of the

:16:19.:16:22.

diet of those graduates who ends up working in Wales. The Lib Dems say

:16:23.:16:26.

they would give extra help with living costs. Labour want to stick

:16:27.:16:31.

with these tuition fee subsidy but says it is reviewing student

:16:32.:16:36.

finance. We asked students at the University of South Wales into

:16:37.:16:37.

I know a lot of English students who forest about the options on offer.

:16:38.:16:44.

I know a lot of English students who don't go to university because it's

:16:45.:16:47.

expensive. I think it's helpful having the grounds in Wales.

:16:48.:16:52.

Money in hand when you're a student, having to live and study at the same

:16:53.:16:55.

time is important. I would say help of the money up

:16:56.:16:59.

front. In my position less tuition fees would be a bonus, but the

:17:00.:17:03.

majority of students live away from home and have monthly rent. For

:17:04.:17:07.

them, a maintenance loan is more important.

:17:08.:17:10.

University bosses say the current system is unsustainable. They will

:17:11.:17:15.

put the evidence during major review which indicates the status quo isn't

:17:16.:17:20.

an option. Changes look like event, but the result of the election will

:17:21.:17:23.

decide how far reaching any changes will be.

:17:24.:17:23.

A family's discovery on a Ceredigion beach,

:17:24.:17:30.

that sailed from America tracked by a satellite signal!

:17:31.:17:41.

I felt like a shot of joy going through me. I was so happy.

:17:42.:17:46.

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have been on Anglesey

:17:47.:17:50.

to say farewell to the RAF's Search and Rescue Force,

:17:51.:17:53.

which is being disbanded after more than three quarters of a century.

:17:54.:17:56.

The work is now done by private contractors.

:17:57.:17:59.

For three years the Prince was based on the island at RAF Valley,

:18:00.:18:03.

where he flew missions as a search and rescue pilot.

:18:04.:18:05.

The band plays as the colours were paraded for the last time. With his

:18:06.:18:24.

Sears service and 160 operations under his belt Prince William was

:18:25.:18:29.

there not so much as a royal, but of a member of the RAF family. There is

:18:30.:18:36.

an actual real person at the end of it who needs your help.

:18:37.:18:41.

If the BBC helicopter rescue service the Prince gave us a flavour of what

:18:42.:18:44.

the job entails. Some of the hardest frying is in the

:18:45.:18:49.

mountains. Because it's quite a small, mountainous area, we can get

:18:50.:18:53.

in and out. We can't be anywhere within a few

:18:54.:18:57.

minutes. Helicopter search and rescue missions have been flown

:18:58.:19:02.

since the mid-19 50s. The RAF's yellow aircraft became a familiar

:19:03.:19:08.

sight. In its final years the search and rescue force was called at more

:19:09.:19:12.

than 34,000 times, rescuing nearly 20 4000 people.

:19:13.:19:17.

It brought a string of bravery awards. If you speak to anyone here

:19:18.:19:25.

they will tell you that is a record to be proud of. Yes, Prince

:19:26.:19:31.

William's three years brought its public attention, but the RAF want

:19:32.:19:34.

to stress that there are 75 years to remember.

:19:35.:19:38.

It's not about numbers and statistics. If you make a difference

:19:39.:19:45.

to one person's life, every time you go out and conduct a mission.

:19:46.:19:49.

Everything is equally valid, equally important if you make a difference.

:19:50.:19:54.

It was a chance for old friends to meet up and swap stories at the end

:19:55.:20:00.

of Ynyr for the RAF. I asked about his new ambulance

:20:01.:20:03.

helicopter and how he was finding it. Whether he's enjoying it more,

:20:04.:20:10.

or less, I don't know. What memories were you sharing today? I've taken

:20:11.:20:18.

on the position of winch man with the search and rescue force so I was

:20:19.:20:22.

explaining to him that I'd been given a job. He was quite surprised

:20:23.:20:26.

because I was quite junior at that time. He thinks like progress to

:20:27.:20:33.

quickly! And though a final fly-past. And then the Sea King,

:20:34.:20:40.

closing a chapter for the Royal Air Force.

:20:41.:20:42.

The headlines for much of the past month have been dominated

:20:43.:20:45.

by the gloom which is engulfing the steel industry -

:20:46.:20:48.

with hundreds of jobs going at Tata's operations in South

:20:49.:20:50.

But one company, Liberty Steel, based in Newport, is expanding

:20:51.:20:54.

and says that given the right conditions could create

:20:55.:20:56.

It's been a glimmer of hope in dark days for the steel industry. Liberty

:20:57.:21:16.

A boat made by American school children has been found washed up

:23:06.:23:14.

on a beach thousands of miles away, on the Ceredigion coast.

:23:15.:23:17.

Helen Hinks and her family from Talybont, discovered it

:23:18.:23:19.

After crossing the Atlantic, the boat, named the Carolina

:23:20.:23:30.

Dreamer, covered in barnacles, but still floating arrived

:23:31.:23:34.

Helen Hinks was walking with her children when her three-year-old son

:23:35.:23:40.

William was so excited, he shouted "It's a boat.

:23:41.:23:46.

So I went to pull it out to get a closer look.

:23:47.:23:51.

After taking a closer look Helen decided to take it home

:23:52.:23:54.

This is when she discovered it had been launched by children

:23:55.:24:01.

at a school in Charleston in South Carolina and had been

:24:02.:24:04.

tracked to just outside Aberystwyth via it's GPS.

:24:05.:24:06.

I'm so happy for the children involved.

:24:07.:24:08.

I've had lovely messages from them excited to hear it's

:24:09.:24:13.

The school had followed the Carolina Dreamer

:24:14.:24:19.

It set off from the South Carolina coast in May last year,

:24:20.:24:27.

it first landed on a beach just a week later in Bermuda.

:24:28.:24:30.

It was then relaunched and on its way across the Atlantic,

:24:31.:24:34.

around Ireland, and eventually into Cardigan Bay.

:24:35.:24:37.

The school lost contact with it around 10 miles to the north

:24:38.:24:40.

Today we spoke to the pupils and teachers on the Internet

:24:41.:24:45.

who were relieved that the dream, or the Carolina Dreamer,

:24:46.:24:48.

We were very solemn for about a week.

:24:49.:24:53.

I'm really excited someone found the boat.

:24:54.:25:10.

And now we don't have to worry about contacting anymore people.

:25:11.:25:16.

And the learning continues, Helen has already taken the boat

:25:17.:25:21.

to her children's' school and with help and parts

:25:22.:25:23.

from their new friends in America they hope to relaunch

:25:24.:25:26.

the Carolina Dreamer back across the Atlantic.

:25:27.:25:34.

It looked funny, if chilly on that beach today. What is in store,

:25:35.:25:39.
