Good Evening. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
Plans to shake-up the way Welsh devolution works need | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
to be put on hold. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
That's according to a committee of MPs. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Last year the draft Wales Bill was published, to give the Welsh | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
government more powers. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
But now a report says the process should be subject to a "pause". | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Arwyn Jones. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
When it was announced last year, David Cameron said the Wales Bill | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
would provide a clearer, stronger and fairer devolution | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
deal for Wales. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
The aim was to give the Assembly such a comprehensive set of powers | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
that the issue wouldn't be revisited for a generation. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
But after months | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
of concerns raised by experts, AM's and the Welsh government, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
today, a committee of MPs added their voice to the need | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
to pause and rethink. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
There were a number of issues raised that led us to think that the bill | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
could be further improved before it goes ahead and we feel that it | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
would be useful for the Secretary of State and the First Minister | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
to discuss it a bit further with each other before | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
we try to press ahead with it. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
It said a proposed list of powers that are not devolved | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
needed a rethink. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
That suggestions Welsh ministers may need permission from London | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
before passing new laws were too complex. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
And that a 60-day deadline for UK ministers to raise objections | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
to planned Welsh laws could solve the problem. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Opposition parties say the Secretary of State for Wales, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Stephen Crabb, needs to listen to those concerns. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
He needs to come back with something that is workable because quite | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
clearly this isn't going to make it any easier to be clear | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
about what the Assembly can and can't do. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
It's going to lead to more court cases and that's going to waste | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
a lot of public money. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
So, there's likely to be a rethink but this is the fourth attempt | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
to create a lasting devolution settlement. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Could the process just drag on? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
I think there are things that can be done with the bill. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
It doesn't necessarily have to be scrapped but I think it's time | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
to take a step back to revise the bill and think about | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
those big questions. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
The UK Government says it would consider the reports | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
findings with the Secretary of State giving his reaction early next week. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
A 16-year-old girl who was critically injured in a car crash | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |

Part of a busy street near Cardiff city centre was closed for around | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
six hours this morning, because of a fire which gutted | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
a cafe. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
An investigation is underway into the cause, as Caroline Evans | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
reports. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
At its height, 50 firefighters were called to the scene. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
A shisha cafe in Cardiff's busy City Road where people go to smoke | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
flavoured tobacco, totally destroyed. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
One local resident told me he'd heard a massive bang | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
in the early hours of the morning. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
I counted 13 fire engines, water tenders, a lift | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
and the Fire Brigade were working nonstop. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
The fire started in an outside tented area of the cafe | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
at about half past four this morning. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Thankfully there was no one in the property at the time | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
but the age and structure of the building meant the fire | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
took hold quickly and spread through the roof space to properties | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
next door which had to be evacuated. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
The fire initially went crews turned up were extremely severe | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
and it was only due to their hard work that it has been kept | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
to the building of origin. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
This morning forensic police officers joined the Fire Service | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
at the scene. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
The severity of the fire means this has been dedicated a joint police | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
and fire investigation. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
The cause is not yet known. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
