0:00:08 > 0:00:10The Vale of Glamorgan beat off competition from around the world
0:00:10 > 0:00:12to build it in St Athan.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And Private Cheryl James from Llangollen was ordered
0:00:16 > 0:00:18by a superior to have sex with another soldier
0:00:18 > 0:00:21the night before she died - an inquest hears.

0:00:53 > 0:01:02which will set you back at least ?150,000.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11A symbol of glamour arrives outside Welsh government buildings.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14vehicle, the DBX.
0:01:14 > 0:01:162020, it will be handmade in Wales and exported
0:01:16 > 0:01:20around the globe.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It is a coup for Wales - it fought off competition
0:01:22 > 0:01:24from 20 other sites from the Middle East,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Eastern Europe and the States, to win the investment with several
0:01:27 > 0:01:33million pounds and 750 jobs.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36For two years the Welsh government and others have been courting Aston
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Martin, so what's attraction?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39You train great people.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I actually believe that this will maybe
0:01:42 > 0:01:48actually retain youngsters in Wales and in Cardiff.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Magnificent, isn't she?
0:01:50 > 0:01:530-60 in 3.2 seconds.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Slick, sleek and very male.
0:01:54 > 0:02:01That has been the luxury brand's image.
0:02:01 > 0:02:01The new car is designed around what women might want.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Costing up to ?200,000, it is the same price as the average
0:02:05 > 0:02:08house in Wales.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Aimed at those who seek glamour and also safety and room
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Neither the Welsh government nor Aston Martin would
0:02:15 > 0:02:21tell us how much public money is being spent to bring them here.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24We were hungry for it and we have a proud history
0:02:24 > 0:02:30of manufacturing here that we wanted to carry on doing the business.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I felt passionately when we were going for this,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I didn't want the business to go outside the UK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It is going at the former MoD site at Saint Athan.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Building starts next year.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41This announcement is about more than money.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42It is about more than jobs.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46It is about glamour.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48One of the smartest, sexiest and most glamorous brands
0:02:48 > 0:02:51in the world is made in Wales and it is impossible
0:02:51 > 0:02:56to calculate how much that is worth.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00For the Welsh economy to benefit, this brand has be successful.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04It needs to sell cars.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It was badly hit by the 2008 recession with sales in 2014 half
0:03:07 > 0:03:13of that seven years earlier.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We have gone bankrupt a lot of times in our history and it will never
0:03:16 > 0:03:19happen again and we will increase our production of sports
0:03:19 > 0:03:24cars in Warwickshire and create business with the DBX.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28When it was launched at the Geneva motor show a year ago,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31the global economy was much stronger and the rich emerging markets
0:03:31 > 0:03:36like China were big buyers of luxury products.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40But there is less money being spent in many of
0:03:40 > 0:03:49those markets now and the question is whether this new style Aston
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Martin will be as attractive to the rich is the need to be
0:03:54 > 0:03:56for the Welsh plant to be a success.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The performance of the Welsh Ambulance Service in responding
0:03:58 > 0:04:01to emergency calls was worse in January than in the previous month.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03However it continues to meet its target of responding
0:04:03 > 0:04:06to over 65% of the most urgent calls within eight minutes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Figures show that in January, the service responded to a higher
0:04:09 > 0:04:12number of calls than the month before.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The number of politicians we send to Westminster is to be cut.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Wales will lose more than a quarter of its MPs under a review
0:04:18 > 0:04:20of parliamentary constituencies.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The number of MPs we send to Westminster will fall from 40
0:04:23 > 0:04:29to 29 as part of a move to reduce the size of the House of Commons.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33An inquest into the death of an 18-year-old soldier
0:04:33 > 0:04:36from Llangollen has heard she mentioned to a friend "how easy
0:04:36 > 0:04:38it would be to shoot yourself".
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Private Cheryl James was found with a gunshot wound to the head
0:04:41 > 0:04:44at Deepcut barracks in Surrey more than 20 years ago.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46The inquest also heard claims she had been "ordered" to sleep
0:04:46 > 0:04:49with a fellow soldier.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56What happened to Private Cheryl James at Deepcut 20 years ago?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The young soldier was found dead with a single bullet
0:04:58 > 0:05:02wound to the head.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04This fresh inquest into her death has heard
0:05:04 > 0:05:07about the culture then at Deepcut.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09How some recruits were seen as a sexual challenge and some
0:05:09 > 0:05:11soldiers had little supervision and were
0:05:11 > 0:05:15drunk every night.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The inquest heard from a friend of Cheryl James,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yvonne Sneddon.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21She said they were returning to Deepcut on a coach
0:05:21 > 0:05:25when Cheryl turned to her and said, if you are going to kill yourself it
0:05:25 > 0:05:26would be really easy.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Mrs Sneddon said she was shocked and this was out
0:05:28 > 0:05:32of context with the atmosphere on the coach.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34She said Cheryl had switched from being really happy
0:05:34 > 0:05:37to being serious.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The inquest also heard from another friend of Cheryl at Deepcut,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43seen here on the right, Andrew Carter.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46He said Cheryl had wanted a fake passport to leave the country
0:05:46 > 0:05:52and had asked if he had ever done anything off impulse.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Then, the inquest touched on claims that the James family desperately
0:05:54 > 0:05:56want answers to.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Was Cheryl James ordered to have sex with a fellow
0:05:58 > 0:06:02soldier?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Mark Beards, a former soldier, told the inquest he saw
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Cheryl the night before her death.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11He claims she told him she had been ordered to go down to a room
0:06:11 > 0:06:13with another soldier.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17He claims the order came from a Sergeant and Cheryl didn't
0:06:17 > 0:06:23want to go but felt like she had to.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It was later put to Mr Beards he had been paranoid and delusional
0:06:26 > 0:06:27and was untrustworthy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29He maintains he is telling the truth.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33The inquest continues.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Some of Wales's biggest arts companies will lose up to 3.5%
0:06:37 > 0:06:41of their funding from April this year from the Arts Council of Wales.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's protected funding for those who receive less than ?150,000
0:06:44 > 0:06:49a year, but others will see their income fall,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54after the Arts Council's own budget was cut by the Welsh Government.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Critics and supporters of the police have been taking to social media
0:06:57 > 0:07:00after it emerged officers deliberately ran over a dog
0:07:00 > 0:07:02on the A55.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06North Wales Police say there was no other way of dealing with an animal
0:07:06 > 0:07:09that was running loose in the dark, posing the risk to drivers.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14The force has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Rugby and France has made five changes to face Wales
0:07:17 > 0:07:23in the Six Nations in Cardiff on Friday.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Including scrum-half Maxime Mashino, who will be in the starting line-up.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Meanwhile Wales coach Warren Gatland has been explaining his reasons
0:07:28 > 0:07:34for making three changes to the Welsh side, including
0:07:34 > 0:07:40selecting Alex Cuthbert ahead of Tom James.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We don't think he is far away from coming back with confidence.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46With Tom at the moment we feel it is an
0:07:46 > 0:07:49opportunity for him to come back and play for the Blues.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51He knows himself he is down on sharpness and a bit
0:07:51 > 0:07:54of conditioning so it is an opportunity for him to keep
0:07:54 > 0:07:58working and hopefully get back to that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let's see what the weather has in store for tomorrow.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Derek's got the forecast.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's going to stay on the cold side over the next few days.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08More dry weather for tomorrow, some sunshine with showers in places.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Talking of showers, a few spread southwards
0:08:10 > 0:08:14tomorrow, wintry in places.
0:08:14 > 0:08:24Icy patches in the north and west.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30A frosty start for most of us tomorrow morning,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31icy in places.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Crisp and sunny but not everywhere.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Some showers likely in the West.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59In Wales, tomorrow afternoon, a mixture of cloud and sunshine.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03A few showers but many places stay dry.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09The wind will be light.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Tomorrow night the odd shower but otherwise a fine night.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Not quite as cold as tonight will be nevertheless,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18there will still be some frost.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20The forecast for Friday is hard to nail
0:09:20 > 0:09:23down with low pressure.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26That does run the risk of a little rain but we may miss
0:09:26 > 0:09:28the worst of it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30On Friday - showers and snow on higher ground.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36Some dry weather with maybe some rain in the south-west.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38The forecast for the weekend is more straightforward.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40A lot of dry weather with the old wintry shower
0:09:40 > 0:09:42in places.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Hopefully the sun will shine but will feel cold
0:09:45 > 0:09:49with a north-easterly breeze, with temperatures below average.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I will see you soon.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54That's Wales Today.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Thank you for watching.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58From all of us on the programme, good night.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Catching criminals is tough.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Police!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11But catching coppers? God give me strength.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13This investigation is far from over.
