:00:14. > :00:17.would put 100,000 jobs here under threat.
:00:18. > :00:19.I don't think we should put those at risk.
:00:20. > :00:25.We can make sure that we sign trade deals with other countries
:00:26. > :00:29.across the world and I think the alternatives would be worse.

:00:47. > :00:50.On the eve of their seaside Welsh conference, Ukip's Leader in Wales
:00:51. > :00:56.says the party can win ten seats in the assembly election.

:01:24. > :01:27.in the European Union, on his first visit to Wales
:01:28. > :01:30.since announcing the referendum date in June.
:01:31. > :01:33.He told workers at the GE aviation plant in Nantgarw near Caerphilly,
:01:34. > :01:35.that around 100,000 jobs in Wales were directly linked
:01:36. > :01:40.But campaigners wanting to leave, say it would mean more money
:01:41. > :01:45.Here's our political editor Nick Servini.
:01:46. > :01:52.I came on the train from London today and, I have to say,

:02:39. > :02:40.to Wales over the next four or five years.
:02:41. > :02:41.There's obviously the support for Welsh universities,
:02:42. > :02:44.which I think is very strong and also for research programmes,
:02:45. > :02:46.things that can make a real difference to
:02:47. > :02:52.David Cameron wasn't accompanied by the leader of his party in Wales,

:03:17. > :03:18.The European authorities have lost any

:03:23. > :03:24.entering the EU illegally at the moment.
:03:25. > :03:29.Without any sense of control over the whole system.
:03:30. > :03:32.Immigration will be one of the many issues under
:03:33. > :03:35.discussion but the Prime Minister has chosen to focus on the economy
:03:36. > :03:40.in the opening days of what will be a long campaign.
:03:41. > :03:45.The Prime Minister is with Nick now. Nick.
:03:46. > :03:55.Wellcome, Prime Minister. Your main message today was in the event of an
:03:56. > :04:02.exit, it would harm investment into Wales and the UK. This is
:04:03. > :04:50.scaremongering, isn't it? It wasn't a
:04:51. > :04:55.The people who want us to leave can't explain what our trading
:04:56. > :05:02.relationship with Europe would be after exit. We cannot take that risk
:05:03. > :05:08.with people's lives and livelihoods. Did you try to persuade Andrew RT
:05:09. > :05:12.Davies? I try to persuade everyone to join my side of the argument but
:05:13. > :05:17.all political parties have their divisions over that issue. It's
:05:18. > :05:22.always disappointing when somebody doesn't back your view but if you
:05:23. > :05:27.take a look across Wales, 34 out of 40 MPs in Wales support Britain
:05:28. > :05:33.remaining in Europe. The ones who don't are mainly conservative.
:05:34. > :05:38.Everybody has got a vote. This is not about politicians in the end. It
:05:39. > :05:42.is about the people of Britain. They will make a sovereign decision at
:05:43. > :05:50.the end of June. I will argue that we will be stronger, safer in
:05:51. > :05:54.Europe. There is strength in Europe. Andrew RT Davies is trying to be the
:05:55. > :05:59.first Conservative First Minister of Wales. This is a problem for you. He
:06:00. > :06:05.fundamentally disagrees with you on the biggest political question in a
:06:06. > :06:11.generation. With the British Prime Minister. It is hardly an ideal
:06:12. > :06:15.message to go to the electric with. He has a very strong message and the
:06:16. > :06:20.Conservative team in Wales have a strong message about our economy and
:06:21. > :06:24.the health service here in Wales and the education service here in Wales,
:06:25. > :06:29.changes that are needed after Labour have had so many years to sort
:06:30. > :06:33.things out. Then there is a big decision about Britain's future in
:06:34. > :06:37.the European Union. Something that will affect our children and
:06:38. > :06:42.grandchildren. Something that will affect the kind of country we want
:06:43. > :06:46.to be in a dangerous world. I think this is a choice between a safer
:06:47. > :06:50.Britain within the EU or a great leap in the dark. The 1.8 billion
:06:51. > :06:57.pounds over a period of time that leap in the dark. The 1.8 billion
:06:58. > :07:01.comes from the EU to Wales. You say that will disappear. The key
:07:02. > :07:04.question is, if you are Prime Minister after an exit, can you make
:07:05. > :07:11.up a shortfall for the places like Wales? You can't be certain about
:07:12. > :07:18.that. We know that between 2014 and 2020 in the European Union budget is
:07:19. > :07:23.?1.8 billion for Wales, money for economic development and important
:07:24. > :07:30.projects. If we were to leave, we might see higher interest rates,
:07:31. > :07:33.those circumstances, of course the United Kingdom government would want
:07:34. > :07:37.to do everything it could for all the different parts of
:07:38. > :07:41.to do everything it could for all these things
:07:42. > :07:44.to do everything it could for all circumstances. There are
:07:45. > :07:45.to do everything it could for all things you couldn't
:07:46. > :07:47.to do everything it could for all who are campaigning to leave say it
:07:48. > :07:54.is an who are campaigning to leave say it
:07:55. > :07:58.shortfall, would not make up the who are campaigning to leave say it
:07:59. > :08:01.a result of the withdrawal. I don't think you can give
:08:02. > :08:07.a result of the withdrawal. I don't The people who want to
:08:08. > :08:09.a result of the withdrawal. I don't explain what our circumstances would
:08:10. > :08:14.be with Europe and the rest of the world. We are advised that there
:08:15. > :08:18.could be economic dislocation and difficulties. In no circumstances,
:08:19. > :08:23.any British government, including a government run by me, would want to
:08:24. > :08:26.help every part of the UK but we might be in difficult circumstances
:08:27. > :08:33.so you cannot make that guarantee. If you want certainty and security
:08:34. > :08:38.and for Britain's economy to grow stay within the EU. If you want to
:08:39. > :08:42.risk and uncertainty, and even those who want to leave say there are
:08:43. > :08:52.risks, there could be temporary problems, then leave. What about the
:08:53. > :08:58.Metrorail scheme, major changes to services in Wales. If we leave is it
:08:59. > :09:01.under threat? You can't say that funding is guaranteed for things
:09:02. > :09:09.that are funded by the EU after we leave? We will always try and help
:09:10. > :09:13.but we know that if we stay in that money is available. If we leave,
:09:14. > :09:17.there is economic uncertainty and within that it is difficult to
:09:18. > :09:22.guarantee things. You talk about a leap in the dark but the reality is,
:09:23. > :09:28.if you are a steelworker in Wales, the EU is not doing much to protect
:09:29. > :09:32.your jobs. The EU does help in that as a market of 500 million people
:09:33. > :09:37.with 28 governments working together we can put greater pressure on China
:09:38. > :09:41.to stop the dumping of steel into the European market than we could on
:09:42. > :09:50.our own. Written an arrow, we are the fifth biggest -- Britain, on our
:09:51. > :09:54.own, we are the fifth biggest economy, but with those other
:09:55. > :10:00.countries we have a stronger influence over China and trying to
:10:01. > :10:03.stop them dumping their steel in our market. We have to leave it there.
:10:04. > :10:04.Thank you. Well, in the buildup
:10:05. > :10:08.to the referendum on June 23rd - we'll be running a series
:10:09. > :10:10.of extended interviews And of course, you can get

:11:27. > :11:30.in May's assembly election. Nathan Gill says the party
:11:31. > :11:32.would be a credible opposition From Llandudno,
:11:33. > :11:53.Roger Pinney reports. Chips with everything, Ukip's Welsh
:11:54. > :11:58.leader Nathan Gill today. This party revels in being different. Internal
:11:59. > :12:05.rows are shrugged off. But how about this? On the eve of elections,
:12:06. > :12:12.supporters are being told to prepare for being in opposition. We believe
:12:13. > :12:17.we have a place in the assembly as an opposition. As the party that can
:12:18. > :12:24.raise the issues and concerns of the electorate in Wales and for the
:12:25. > :12:28.general concern of everybody. We will make the assembly relevant and
:12:29. > :12:32.interesting. All of the things it isn't right now. Ukip reckons that
:12:33. > :12:47.ten seats would be a good result. Attempts by leadership to parachute
:12:48. > :12:54.in candidates like Neil Hamilton have caused a row. By Ukip at
:12:55. > :12:59.Mission, they won't be running Wales before the election and they won't
:13:00. > :13:03.want to be part of a deal to do that either. The votes they take may well
:13:04. > :13:07.affect the results in some constituencies and that that is a
:13:08. > :13:18.worry for other parties. As they arrived in planned at no -- in
:13:19. > :13:23.Llandudno they know that the biggest prize comes in June at the
:13:24. > :13:28.referendum. They are not looking at a mainstream party of government but
:13:29. > :13:33.more at a means of registering concern over particular issues. For
:13:34. > :13:42.those purposes, internal competence is not such a priority for much of
:13:43. > :13:55.Ukip's support. Ukip's most famous face arrived in London no -- inland
:13:56. > :13:58.Our political correspondent Daniel Davies joins me now
:13:59. > :14:00.from the conference How damaging will this row
:14:01. > :14:14.Nigel Farage tried to dismiss it by saying that this was a row of people
:14:15. > :14:19.and we should be looking at politics and messages. The support that Ukip
:14:20. > :14:25.is attracting in Wales is growing but it is a headache they could do
:14:26. > :14:27.without. It has been messy and acrimonious. Accusations flying
:14:28. > :14:34.around between different factions in the party. It is embarrassing that
:14:35. > :14:40.this close to such an important election for Ukip we cannot say
:14:41. > :14:46.where Nathan Gill will be on their regional list. We can't assess
:14:47. > :14:52.whether their leader has a chance of being an assembly member or not.
:14:53. > :14:58.Nigel Farage will address conference tomorrow. What will they have to
:14:59. > :15:03.say? The main topic is the referendum on Britain's place in the
:15:04. > :15:08.European union. This is the Spring conference and people have come here
:15:09. > :15:12.from all over Britain. People from all over politics have joined the
:15:13. > :15:16.party because of the referendum in the first place. Mr Farage and Mr
:15:17. > :15:20.Gill will be talking about why they think Wales and the assembly would
:15:21. > :15:27.be better off outside the EEE. Nathan Gill thinks that the best
:15:28. > :15:32.thing would be to send Ukip MPs there to make the place interesting.
:15:33. > :15:36.Between now and polling day, their opponents will be trying to convince
:15:37. > :15:37.voters that they would make it interesting for all the wrong
:15:38. > :15:43.reasons. With just over two months to go
:15:44. > :15:46.before the Assembly Election - the state of the Welsh NHS is likely
:15:47. > :15:50.to dominate the political debate. With increasing demand for care -
:15:51. > :15:53.it has, at times, struggled to cope And each of the parties fighting
:15:54. > :15:57.the election will claim they have As part of our How Wales Works
:15:58. > :16:04.season, our health correspondent Owain Clarke has been to Tredegar
:16:05. > :16:06.to find out. This place, to all intents
:16:07. > :16:09.and purposes, was where the NHS national health service
:16:10. > :16:19.in the 1940s, Aneurin Bevan drew inspiration from a scheme,
:16:20. > :16:21.here in his hometown, where workers pooled their money
:16:22. > :16:24.to buy medical care for themselves But a lot has changed since then,
:16:25. > :16:29.particularly in health care. Advances in technology, new drugs,
:16:30. > :16:32.more specialist doctors, means the NHS now can
:16:33. > :16:35.do much more than it The number of people
:16:36. > :16:44.who live in Wales is just Yet, a staggering 19 million
:16:45. > :16:52.appointments happen each year with GPs or staff
:16:53. > :16:54.like physiotherapists. There are 4 million hospital

:17:19. > :17:21.longer than when the NHS That means more pressure
:17:22. > :17:25.on the NHS because as we So what are the people
:17:26. > :17:29.think are the biggest challenges facing the
:17:30. > :17:30.health service here? Everything is cut.
:17:31. > :17:36.You can't seem to get to a doctor. She was due to have a hip
:17:37. > :17:40.operation on Monday. She got a phone call yesterday
:17:41. > :17:42.saying it was cancelled. Because there was a
:17:43. > :17:44.six-week waiting list. One consequence is that the NHS
:17:45. > :17:46.is consuming more and more Yet, at the beginning
:17:47. > :17:54.of the assembly term, the Welsh health budget was
:17:55. > :18:00.actually cut. They are actually spending
:18:01. > :18:03.?6.8 billion on health That's 46% of the
:18:04. > :18:09.entire Welsh budget. By the election,
:18:10. > :18:11.ministers say that they will once again be spending more
:18:12. > :18:14.on health in Wales per person But that is still 6-7% less
:18:15. > :18:18.than they will be spending on health per person in Scotland
:18:19. > :18:19.and Northern Ireland. Given that Wales is an older,
:18:20. > :18:23.sicker and poorer population than many other parts of the UK,
:18:24. > :18:32.that might surprise you. Like its architect,
:18:33. > :18:36.Nye Bevan, had hoped, the NHS has transformed
:18:37. > :18:38.people's lives. But it's also been a victim
:18:39. > :18:40.of its own success. All the political parties

:19:02. > :19:03.of Six Nations Rugby Tomos is at the
:19:04. > :19:06.Principality Stadium. Welcome to the Principality Stadium,
:19:07. > :19:11.a Friday night in Cardiff is always lively, even more
:19:12. > :19:19.so when there's a big The atmosphere is building up
:19:20. > :19:24.nicely in the city centre Yes, the French
:19:25. > :19:31.in fine voice tonight. They've travelled
:19:32. > :19:32.to see a France side, unbeaten after two home wins
:19:33. > :19:35.over Italy and Ireland. The stakes are high for Wales
:19:36. > :19:39.if they're to have a chance of winning the title,
:19:40. > :19:41.Wales must win here tonight. And Wales Coach Warren Gatland
:19:42. > :19:44.is in no doubt about what makes this It's the best competition
:19:45. > :19:50.in the world and it's the best competition for one reason
:19:51. > :20:02.and that's the fans. Nowhere else in the world do
:20:03. > :20:04.you get, potentially, 30 or 40% of the crowd
:20:05. > :20:06.to be the away fans. That is what creates such
:20:07. > :20:09.a special atmosphere. Wales fans have had the bragging
:20:10. > :20:12.rights recently in this fixture, winning their last four
:20:13. > :20:18.games against France. Played 93 times,
:20:19. > :20:24.Wales have just edged it. France have won 43 times
:20:25. > :20:29.with three games ending in a draw. So Wales have won 51%
:20:30. > :20:33.of their games against France. Tonight is the sixth game
:20:34. > :20:38.held on a Friday night. Wales have featured
:20:39. > :20:41.in everyone of them but haven't performed too well,
:20:42. > :20:44.losing four games, That was against France
:20:45. > :21:12.here two years ago. Let's talk to my guests, Rob Jones
:21:13. > :21:18.and seven Douvaldis -- Seb Duval. Is a Friday night game a disadvantage?
:21:19. > :21:22.We are in the professional era and we have to cope with these things.
:21:23. > :21:26.We are in the professional era and It is important that they prepare
:21:27. > :21:31.well. It is difficult for the fans to get here. It is a day of work.
:21:32. > :21:35.But if you look at the team, they would prepare professionally for
:21:36. > :21:40.this, as they would in every other game. Later in the day helps the
:21:41. > :21:53.body get into it a little bit more. Seb Duval, rugby writer in France.
:21:54. > :22:01.Is the record going to enter night? I'm afraid we might have to wait for
:22:02. > :22:07.one more year. It has come for a year to early. Guy Noves has brought
:22:08. > :22:12.in players without a lot of experience of international rugby.
:22:13. > :22:19.Players playing only their second or third International. In such an
:22:20. > :22:24.intimidating stadium, even if the roof is open, I don't see France
:22:25. > :22:28.been able to winter night. The French coach has talked about
:22:29. > :22:31.playing dynamic rugby that is pleasing on the eye. How do you
:22:32. > :22:42.think they will approach the game? They played different games against
:22:43. > :22:48.Italy. They were very good in terms of thy nutmeg rugby. They had very
:22:49. > :22:53.poor defence against Ireland. They only just managed to hold on and
:22:54. > :22:59.win. Today we hope for a better balance between attack and defence.
:23:00. > :23:04.A quick word, how'd you think the game will pan out? I think Wales
:23:05. > :23:09.will win. They are strong and stable and get better as the tournament
:23:10. > :23:14.goes on. Thank you very much both for your time tonight.
