Tonight's headlines: Martin Bowen stabbed his ex-partner.

:00:00.:00:00.

The police watchdog criticises three Gwent

:00:07.:00:07.

officers for not doing enough to keep her safe in the days before.

:00:08.:00:19.

No one responded to her. And her ex-partner was able to gain entry

:00:20.:00:28.

into the house and to stab her repeat key. So really, Gwent Police

:00:29.:00:31.

failed her that evening. Assembly Members say

:00:32.:00:35.

Cardiff Airport's missing passenger targets and lacks a long-term

:00:36.:00:37.

plan to grow. We hear how a new law

:00:38.:00:38.

could give people like Neil, who has a learning

:00:39.:00:42.

disability, a greater voice. Also tonight, the build

:00:43.:00:46.

up to Euro 2016. Chris Coleman welcomes assurances

:00:47.:00:48.

that games won't be played behind And you'll need to spend more

:00:49.:00:51.

than a penny to live here. This public toilet with views

:00:52.:00:59.

of the Clywedog Reservoir is up They could go for

:01:00.:01:01.

as little as ?1000. Three Gwent Police officers took

:01:02.:01:10.

insufficient action to safeguard a woman from Newport who was later

:01:11.:01:30.

stabbed by her ex-partner. That's the finding

:01:31.:01:33.

of an investigation Christine Evans called for help

:01:34.:01:34.

after 24-year-old Martin Bowen began texting her, in breach

:01:35.:01:38.

of a harassment warning. But officers did not go to her home,

:01:39.:01:40.

and hours later Bowen Martin Bowen 's violent past was

:01:41.:02:03.

known to police. They knew his former partner Christine Evans was

:02:04.:02:08.

at high risk of harm from him. When Christine called for help, she

:02:09.:02:13.

should have received a priority response but Gwent Police failed to

:02:14.:02:16.

get to her before Martin Bowen stabbed her in the neck and chest.

:02:17.:02:21.

The case prompted a review by the Independent Police Complaints

:02:22.:02:24.

Commission which found a lack of understanding and confusion among

:02:25.:02:28.

officers around risk assessments and seven failure to follow force

:02:29.:02:32.

policies and procedures. The report also found that the high volume of

:02:33.:02:39.

"Rocks at the force control room was attempting to handle at the time was

:02:40.:02:43.

very concerning, raising wider concerns around public protection.

:02:44.:02:48.

From the start, from the time Miss Evans contacted the control room,

:02:49.:02:57.

through to the way in which she was dealt with, they failed to safeguard

:02:58.:03:01.

her. Charities say they are concerns these cases could deter others from

:03:02.:03:07.

seeking help. There is a concern it will put people off reporting abuse.

:03:08.:03:11.

We know that there have been a lot of improvements and there are a lot

:03:12.:03:16.

of good response is therefore people. We would say not to let this

:03:17.:03:21.

sort of put people off. At the IPCC commissioner also points out that

:03:22.:03:28.

this is not the handling of cases has been handed. There were striking

:03:29.:03:40.

similarities between the two cases. I wrote to the Chief Constable and

:03:41.:03:45.

highlighted the fact that the force really needed to go back to the

:03:46.:03:50.

beginning and overhaul all its systems and processes. Gwent Police

:03:51.:03:55.

who referred the actions of their officers to the IPCC says it has

:03:56.:03:58.

taken action against those officers involved in the case and has since

:03:59.:04:02.

made dramatic operational and organisational changes to address

:04:03.:04:08.

the issues raised. They added that they are constantly striving to do

:04:09.:04:11.

their best on behalf of the public. Christine Evans said -- survived the

:04:12.:04:17.

attack, a crime for which Martin Bowen is now serving an eight-year

:04:18.:04:20.

sentence. Cardiff Airport's missing

:04:21.:04:22.

its passenger targets and lacks a long-term plan to expand,

:04:23.:04:24.

according to a committee of Assembly But the Public Accounts Committee

:04:25.:04:26.

said the reasons for the Welsh Government's purchase

:04:27.:04:29.

of the airport were clear, and the ?52 million cost

:04:30.:04:31.

could be "justified." Our Business Correspondent Brian

:04:32.:04:33.

Meechan is there tonight. I think it is definitely proved

:04:34.:04:43.

harder ultimately to turn the airport around than many people

:04:44.:04:49.

might have expected. There were early victories, it has to be said.

:04:50.:04:52.

I think the management team won the Welsh government took over did

:04:53.:04:57.

manage to stop the rot that it has just pleaded along since then but

:04:58.:05:02.

there has been that influence of Flybe to recently. That has come in

:05:03.:05:07.

to help out. Get passenger numbers increasing again and now it seems

:05:08.:05:10.

the management teams here feel the momentum is firmly behind them. More

:05:11.:05:17.

and more of a site using Cardiff Airport. New routes have been added

:05:18.:05:21.

and facilities are being improved. But it has not been meeting the

:05:22.:05:27.

targets that were originally set for it by the Welsh Government which

:05:28.:05:32.

bought it in 2013. In the most recent financial year, 1 million

:05:33.:05:36.

passengers went through the airport. By 2018, that is due to grow to 1.4

:05:37.:05:41.

million per year but the original projection was for 2 million

:05:42.:05:45.

travellers by that point. The Public Accounts Committee has challenged

:05:46.:05:48.

those figures. It was very clear from the evidence that we received

:05:49.:05:52.

as a committee that basically the Welsh Government 's figures were

:05:53.:05:54.

overly optimistic that the time that the airport was purchased and on

:05:55.:06:02.

that basis, it was difficult, it was always going to be difficult for the

:06:03.:06:05.

airport which easily figures that had been placed in that span. The

:06:06.:06:09.

Assembly Members are concerned that there is no long-term plan for the

:06:10.:06:13.

airport. They also want to see more experts on the board. The committee

:06:14.:06:19.

of Assembly Members concluded that the ?52 million price tag for this

:06:20.:06:24.

airport could be justified and that the reasons for buying it were

:06:25.:06:31.

clear. They did however also hear from an expert who said that a

:06:32.:06:34.

private commercial company would not have paid the price for it. Flybe

:06:35.:06:39.

recently announced a series of new European roots celebrating with a

:06:40.:06:45.

traditional water cannon salute. The Welsh Government says the airport

:06:46.:06:48.

would have closed if it had not stepped in to buy it. Flybe has

:06:49.:06:52.

announced it will be flying four times a day from Cardiff to London

:06:53.:06:55.

City Airport for six weeks from September when the seven rail tunnel

:06:56.:07:00.

is closed so the real lines can be electrified. The managing director

:07:01.:07:05.

says developing new routes as part of their long-term plan. We had 21%

:07:06.:07:11.

growth last year which is phenomenal and our business. We had a new

:07:12.:07:15.

airline start with 15 new routes and we have introduced new destinations.

:07:16.:07:20.

I think in terms of the business, we are really on an upward trajectory.

:07:21.:07:27.

Companies which organise business loans and mortgages Reyaad Khan

:07:28.:07:30.

Spode links between Cardiff and London. They will benefit from the

:07:31.:07:33.

new airline service. I will be really keen to use it. It will cut

:07:34.:07:41.

down on travel time for us. In terms of the cost, it will benefit the

:07:42.:07:49.

business. Many businesses will be hoping the new Cardiff to London

:07:50.:07:54.

route could continue beyond the six weeks announced. For the airport, it

:07:55.:07:57.

is a sign of its future direction, rather than the committees

:07:58.:08:04.

assessment of the past. It is fair to say that they were eyebrows

:08:05.:08:08.

raised in the business world when the Welsh Government decided to buy

:08:09.:08:11.

the airport. There were questions raised about whether it was paying

:08:12.:08:15.

too much for the airport and I think in terms of the business world,

:08:16.:08:18.

things have just moved on now and people are much more focused on the

:08:19.:08:21.

support the airport can give to businesses and bed drive to create

:08:22.:08:25.

jobs and to support the wider economy.

:08:26.:08:28.

The former footballer, Ched Evans, won't hear if his appeal

:08:29.:08:31.

against his rape conviction is successful until next month.

:08:32.:08:33.

Judges at the Court of Appeal reserved judgment following the two

:08:34.:08:35.

day hearing, which included new evidence.

:08:36.:08:39.

The Wales international was jailed in 2012 for raping a 19-year-old,

:08:40.:08:42.

One lane of the A55 remains closed in both directions tonight,

:08:43.:08:53.

after a chemical spill from a lorry in Conwy.

:08:54.:08:55.

The road was first shut yesterday morning and traffic has remained

:08:56.:08:58.

slow after thousands of gallons leaked from the tanker,

:08:59.:09:00.

onto the road between Colwyn Bay and Llanddulas.

:09:01.:09:09.

Plaid Cymru says hundreds of thousands of households in Wales

:09:10.:09:11.

would pay less council tax, if it wins May's assembly election.

:09:12.:09:14.

Under plans to reform the tax, which is based on property values,

:09:15.:09:17.

the lowest council tax bands would save up to ?400 a year,

:09:18.:09:20.

but the top 26% of households would have to pay more.

:09:21.:09:29.

Major changes to social care services in Wales will soon come

:09:30.:09:31.

The Social Services and Wellbeing Act is the single

:09:32.:09:34.

largest piece of legislation passed during this assembly term,

:09:35.:09:37.

with the aim of giving a greater voice to vulnerable people,

:09:38.:09:39.

But there are concerns that with budgets squeezed,

:09:40.:09:42.

Neil Williams from Swansea has a mild learning disability. For

:09:43.:09:59.

Neil Williams from Swansea has a example of hours a week, he is given

:10:00.:10:02.

support with everyday tasks. He also spends a lot of his time working

:10:03.:10:07.

with Swansea people first, a local charity which supports others with a

:10:08.:10:12.

disability. Neal hopes these social services and well-being act will

:10:13.:10:15.

help enhance the lives of people like himself. It will give them more

:10:16.:10:21.

power to do what they want to do and if they do not like something, they

:10:22.:10:26.

can disagree with the situation. So it is all about power as well for

:10:27.:10:31.

the people with listening disabilities. -- learning

:10:32.:10:37.

disabilities. I hope to benefit myself and go on to do a lot more

:10:38.:10:41.

things. This video helps to explain how the new law which comes into

:10:42.:10:45.

force on the 6th of April will transform the delivery of social

:10:46.:10:50.

care in Wales. As well as giving vulnerable people a greater voice,

:10:51.:10:52.

it will also look to improve support for carers, make powers to safeguard

:10:53.:10:59.

people stronger and create partnerships between councils and

:11:00.:11:02.

health boards. This piece of legislation will introduce some big

:11:03.:11:06.

changes. It can be viewed as an app that which is the gap in the

:11:07.:11:09.

delivery of health and social care in Wales. And whilst the vast

:11:10.:11:17.

majority of people see it as a good thing in theory, some question how

:11:18.:11:21.

it will work in practice. Potentially, we will have the

:11:22.:11:24.

reorganisation of local authorities or you will have local authorities

:11:25.:11:27.

competing in terms of their own philosophies. We have a lot of

:11:28.:11:32.

things coming, a bit like a perfect storm you have some concerns over

:11:33.:11:37.

production of funding, the fact that local authorities are going to be

:11:38.:11:39.

merging and then this new change in philosophy. The Welsh Government

:11:40.:11:43.

says it is confident all bodies involved in the delivery of care

:11:44.:11:47.

will cope. We have taken powers to make sure the people who are already

:11:48.:11:51.

getting services will continue to have those services so there is a

:11:52.:11:53.

smooth transition from the one to the other. Whenever you have major

:11:54.:11:59.

change, you have to be able to prepare for the unexpected as well

:12:00.:12:04.

as the expected. We are confident local authorities and their partners

:12:05.:12:07.

in health and the third sector are prepared for the change and we will

:12:08.:12:12.

be working hard to make sure the act is a success. It will not happen

:12:13.:12:15.

overnight but it is hoped the future well-being of people like Neil and

:12:16.:12:18.

so money others in Wales will improve.

:12:19.:12:20.

BBC Wales has learnt that a senior Gwent Police officer has privately

:12:21.:12:23.

apologised for the way the force failed to connect information

:12:24.:12:26.

about a former head teacher, accused of historical sexual abuse.

:12:27.:12:28.

Jon Styler, who killed himself in 2007, is accused of abusing boys

:12:29.:12:31.

at schools in Newport and Worcestershire,

:12:32.:12:32.

Jon Styler when he was head teacher at the Malpas Church in Wales

:12:33.:12:43.

Solicitors for his alleged victims now believe he may one of Wales'

:12:44.:12:51.

Gwent Police received information about Jon Styler in 2005.

:12:52.:12:54.

But BBC Wales' Week In Week out programme revealed the force didn't

:12:55.:12:57.

link it to a formal allegation made in 2007.

:12:58.:13:00.

Jeff Parry, who first spoke to me last summer about the abuse says

:13:01.:13:03.

he suffered at the Malpas school, has now told BBC Wales he's received

:13:04.:13:06.

a private apology from a Detective Chief Superintendent

:13:07.:13:08.

over the force's failure to link the two reports.

:13:09.:13:20.

They did apologise for what had happened.

:13:21.:13:22.

They did make it clear that at the time of the investigation,

:13:23.:13:24.

if the investigation had carried on, then they were sure that the two

:13:25.:13:28.

files would have been linked all the two complaints would have

:13:29.:13:30.

Jon Styler, pictured here at a school in Worcestershire

:13:31.:13:40.

in 1989, where he's also accused of historical abuse.

:13:41.:13:42.

It's understood the complainant in 2005 didn't want to press charges.

:13:43.:13:46.

And that detectives believe the link would have been made

:13:47.:13:48.

One senior officers believe the force didn't let

:13:49.:13:52.

The Children's Commissioner for Wales, Professor Sally Holland,

:13:53.:13:56.

feels the way the case was handled by police should be looked at again.

:13:57.:13:59.

Detectives have now officially spoken to five people who say

:14:00.:14:02.

Gwent Police says when Jon Styler took his own life, he deprived

:14:03.:14:13.

Jon Styler denied all the allegations against him.

And if you're hoping for a fine Easter weekend, forget it.

:14:36.:14:38.

I can promise some sunshine, but look what's heading our

:14:39.:14:40.

In exactly three months' time, Wales and the the rest of the UK

:14:41.:14:55.

will be voting on whether to remain in the European Union, or leave.

:14:56.:14:59.

In a series of reports, we'll be looking at the EU's impact here.

:15:00.:15:02.

Tonight, our political reporter, James Williams, takes a look

:15:03.:15:04.

at the billions of pounds of economic aid or structural funds

:15:05.:15:07.

that Wales has received since the turn of the millennium.

:15:08.:15:15.

One of the biggest decisions our country faces is fast approaching.

:15:16.:15:19.

For many, it's a question of economics - will we be better

:15:20.:15:22.

or worse off inside or outside the European Union?

:15:23.:15:27.

Has the EU helped or hindered us financially?

:15:28.:15:32.

It certainly helped Cardigan Bay Watersports,

:15:33.:15:33.

the New Quay business first took to the sea back in 2003,

:15:34.:15:36.

thanks, in large part, to an EU grant of almost ?165,000.

:15:37.:15:53.

It was a significant element. You would have two suggest a lot of

:15:54.:15:58.

money has come to West Wales and you have to question whether a

:15:59.:16:00.

centralised government would devote as much of it scarce resource in

:16:01.:16:06.

this direction. Now, this structural funding, as it is known in the

:16:07.:16:12.

jargon, that the company was able to access is Brussels' way of boosting

:16:13.:16:16.

the poorer parts of the European Union.

:16:17.:16:19.

Back in 1999, when Wales first qualified for this economic aid,

:16:20.:16:21.

the then First Minister Rhodri Morgan hailed it as a once

:16:22.:16:24.

in a generation opportunity, but 17 years later, and this part

:16:25.:16:27.

of Wales still qualifies for the highest level of support.

:16:28.:16:30.

By 2020, the West Wales and the Valleys region will have

:16:31.:16:33.

East Wales, a relatively richer region of the EU, will have received

:16:34.:16:41.

over 600 million by the end of the decade.

:16:42.:16:44.

To date, the money has benefited some 3,000 projects and created

:16:45.:16:47.

But despite the investment, the West Wales and the Valleys

:16:48.:16:56.

region, according to the latest EU figures, remains the poorest

:16:57.:16:59.

in the UK, unable to close the wealth gap with

:17:00.:17:01.

In the early days, the money is said to have been handled poorly,

:17:02.:17:09.

This fish farm on Anglesey wasn't monitored properly, while this rural

:17:10.:17:13.

Officials say improvements have been made and the focus is now on fewer

:17:14.:17:19.

but bigger projects, such as the newly opened

:17:20.:17:21.

But for those campaigning for us to leave, there is no such thing

:17:22.:17:29.

It is like a propaganda thing to them in a way because they get these

:17:30.:17:41.

signs up everywhere saying that this project was funded by the European

:17:42.:17:45.

Union and people then think that the European Union is good, it gives us

:17:46.:17:48.

all this money. They forget that we pay 50 mile -- 50 ?5 million per day

:17:49.:17:52.

to be a member of this club. Last month, David Cameron said

:17:53.:17:57.

there was no certainty this economic aid would continue under an UK

:17:58.:18:00.

government if Britain A few days later the Welsh

:18:01.:18:02.

Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, said

:18:03.:18:05.

he could "guarantee" it would. Just a flavour of some

:18:06.:18:07.

of the conflicting arguments from both sides of a campaign based

:18:08.:18:09.

on so many unknowns. Labour's Huw Irranca-Davies has

:18:10.:18:15.

stepped down as MP for Ogmore, The former Wales Office Minister has

in London as part of a rally to raise awareness of the crisis

:18:36.:18:37.

to cope with fluctuating milk prices, and warn of

:18:38.:18:40.

"devastation" for west Wales, Around 2,000 farmers and supporters

:18:43.:18:52.

at a loss from day to day. I have been in farming or my life,

:18:53.:18:55.

I have been married for about 25 years nearly and this

:18:56.:18:59.

is the worst it has been. It is too bad we are having the same

:19:00.:19:01.

price of milk now as we were having It is one step forward

:19:02.:19:05.

and two steps back. Wales manager Chris Coleman says

:19:06.:19:12.

playing at the European Championships behind closed doors

:19:13.:19:17.

would be a sad day for the sport. European Football's governing body,

as far as I am concerned. We checked out the stadiums

was asked what steps are being taken to protect fans who will be

travelling to France this summer. The police have already been

discussing with their counterparts what arrangements are in place

match, Chris Coleman will have to find

:21:03.:21:06.

a replacement for Ben Davies. He is out because of a head injury

:21:07.:21:08.

he suffered last week. Although he is expected to return

for Monday's game in Ukraine. And Wales could be

without a recognised left back, as Neil

:21:15.:21:15.

Taylor is a doubt. But Liverpool's Danny Ward will play

:21:16.:21:19.

for his country for the first time. We have got a special group of guys

:21:20.:21:23.

who are in the squad. Obviously, we have done

:21:24.:21:32.

something special as a group, it is not just about the 11

:21:33.:21:34.

players on the pitch, it is everyone from Gareth Bale out

:21:35.:21:37.

to the backroom staff as well. I think it is a bit

:21:38.:21:40.

of a team effort. Wales are looking forward

:21:41.:21:43.

to an eventful derby match Northern Ireland have

qualified for France. Chris Coleman is expecting

:21:46.:21:47.

a feisty friendly. I just want to bring you some

:21:48.:22:01.

breaking news. Within the last two minutes world rugby has confirmed

:22:02.:22:06.

England's Joe Marleau will face an independent misconduct hearing the

:22:07.:22:12.

comments made toward Wales' Samson Lee during the match at Twickenham

:22:13.:22:15.

earlier this month. The 6-nations decided not to punish Marler but the

:22:16.:22:24.

sports governing body says it is exercising its right to take what it

:22:25.:22:27.

describes as appropriate action. The result puts her in a strong

position to be selected for the Rio Olympics this summer,

right on its' doorstep. But there's one drawback,

:22:48.:22:53.

it's a disused public toilet. Up for auction tomorrow morning

:22:54.:22:56.

and with no reserve, the old WC next to the Clywedog

:22:57.:22:58.

reservoir, near Llanidloes, Its location is remote,

:22:59.:23:00.

so not great for commuting. But this old toilet block,

which is up for auction, The Clywedog Reservoir in Powys

:23:12.:23:14.

is a popular beauty spot for walkers Paul Fosh is auctioning the property

for Powys Council. He believes it has got a lot

:23:20.:23:22.

of potential, that is if you can get planning and its change of use

:23:23.:23:26.

from the toilet. Public toilets are in locations

:23:27.:23:29.

where you would not normally get planning permission

:23:30.:23:31.

to build anything. The fact that they are here now,

:23:32.:23:33.

they have an established use, you have to get that change of use

:23:34.:23:36.

and that can be sometimes easier than creating a building

:23:37.:23:39.

from the start. Yes, the location is

:23:40.:23:41.

the all-important thing really. And this is the view

:23:42.:23:48.

your money gets you. And if you are worried

:23:49.:23:51.

about what the neighbours will think about you living in an old toilet,

:23:52.:23:54.

well, there are no neighbours. Llanidloes is its nearest town,

:23:55.:23:57.

which has just been voted one And here, the auction

is headline news. It may have a good feel,

but I cannot imagine anybody They could go for

:24:14.:24:18.

a good tourist spot. People go and visit their quite

:24:19.:24:25.

a lot and it has got a good view Unique really isn't it to have

:24:26.:24:29.

such a beautiful toilet, so I hope they get

a really good price. There is no stigma attached to this
