:02:06. > :02:11.In Caerphilly, these men took part in a 35 year health study
:02:12. > :02:15.and the medical experts say what they found here has
:02:16. > :02:20.To some extent, we have it, there is a genetic element,
:02:21. > :02:23.but to a large extent, it is how we live.
:02:24. > :02:26.And so if we can adopt a healthy lifestyle,

:05:27. > :05:28.Earlier this month, Neath Port Talbot opted not
:05:29. > :05:32.to cut its subsidy to the service but this evening Swansea councillors
:05:33. > :05:35.were told of a proposal to reduce funding for music tuition in schools
:05:36. > :05:40.These protesters are concerned that without
:05:41. > :05:43.the continuation of free tuition in schools it won't be possible
:05:44. > :05:46.to produce the same level of musical talent.
:05:47. > :05:49.The council says reform is necessary in order to make
:05:50. > :05:54.If you want people to achieve things like grade eight
:05:55. > :05:58.by the time they are 16 or 17 you don't get that starting
:05:59. > :06:07.It needs to be grounding right at the beginning in primary school.

:06:11. > :06:15.Hoping to join our musical greats in future is Katie Hier,

:06:19. > :06:20.A member of the West Glamorgan youth Orchestra,
:06:21. > :06:24.she told me she is worried others won't take as much interest in music
:06:25. > :06:27.if the current provision of tuition is lost.
:06:28. > :06:30.Children won't have the interest and they won't want to
:06:31. > :06:33.have a private tutor, they will not do it.
:06:34. > :06:38.Some people will be able to afford the music programme.
:06:39. > :06:42.We have to pay in school now but it is
:06:43. > :06:47.still like a really reduced price, it is shared among all children.
:06:48. > :06:50.With enough instruments in hand, the crowd of protesters seemed
:06:51. > :06:53.to draw the attention of Swansea Council's leader.
:06:54. > :06:55.He reassured them the music service will continue but reform
:06:56. > :07:00.Earlier today, he told me the current level of funding
:07:01. > :07:02.for school tuition doesn't make good business sense
:07:03. > :07:06.I don't think either council is saying
:07:07. > :07:10.at the moment things can continue as they are because we are aware
:07:11. > :07:13.the cost of the service which is around ?31 an hour
:07:14. > :07:17.is likely to increase because schools are able to procure
:07:18. > :07:21.music services far cheaper than that.
:07:22. > :07:25.What we need to do is make sure that the excellent service we have
:07:26. > :07:28.got is competitive and therefore that schools will want to take that
:07:29. > :07:30.service and parents will want to take that service.
:07:31. > :07:31.The joint running of the music service
:07:32. > :07:34.between Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Councils remains under
:07:35. > :07:38.As Swansea Council make the assurances

:09:40. > :09:42.in Paris against Italy and Ireland.
:09:43. > :09:45.But neither will be as difficult as playing away from home.
:09:46. > :09:49.They have won just three of their last 12 away games.
:09:50. > :09:54.Take one game at a time and see what works well for them
