0:00:15 > 0:00:18to Tata Steel's Mumbai headquarters for crunch talks on the

0:00:18 > 0:00:20works in Port Talbot.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Stephen Kinnock are flying out to discuss a plan to secure

0:00:26 > 0:00:28the site's long-term future.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Teleri Glyn Jones reports.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37In Port Talbot, the steel works dominates the landscape

0:00:43 > 0:00:47If this reorganisation and restructure does not really

0:00:47 > 0:00:50work, it is going to be pretty grim for the place.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Everyone is worried in the local area.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56You can't let it get you down.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59If it gets you down, things are only going to get worse.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02You have got to be positive to try and save the company.

0:01:02 > 0:01:08You can't get down in the dumps, everybody collectively needs to pick

0:01:08 > 0:01:12up together and drive on to keep on producing steel,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16keep on breaking records and keep on making money.

0:01:16 > 0:01:22The global steel industry is facing trying times.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27The works are said to be losing a million pounds a day.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31The long-term sustainability is in question.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Tonight, a delegation of steel workers, union leaders and the local

0:01:35 > 0:01:39MP Stephen Kinnock are flying out to try and convince the board

0:01:39 > 0:01:44members at Tata to back the turnaround plan for Port Talbot.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46It is vitally important.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49We are at a pivotal time for the steel industry

0:01:49 > 0:01:53and the community is backing this plan because otherwise,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56if the steel industry goes, it is the death of the local

0:01:56 > 0:02:00economy, the communities will die and it is something we can't sit

0:02:00 > 0:02:03back and let happen.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06The workforce in Port Talbot has always delivered,

0:02:06 > 0:02:11they have always broken production records, they make the best steel

0:02:11 > 0:02:16that money can buy, so what we need now is Tata Steel to hold its nerve,

0:02:16 > 0:02:21to back the plan and we can move forward.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Get the steel works back to break even and then over a longer period

0:02:25 > 0:02:28getting it in surplus again.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Back at the rugby club, there is a determination

0:02:31 > 0:02:33to stay positive.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Despite the uncertainty, the fate of these workers,

0:02:36 > 0:02:40their families and this community will be sealed in a board room

0:02:40 > 0:02:42in Mumbai on Tuesday.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11and is now capable of setting its own agenda thanks to devolution.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Huw Lewis said several politicians

0:03:14 > 0:03:17were nervous about devolution in 1999 but that that view

0:03:59 > 0:04:02There are lots of people who face terminal illness,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05bereavement, people who have been killed in terrorist attacks.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09The message of the Gospel is that God is there alongside them

0:04:09 > 0:04:14in their grief and in their bereavement, helping them

0:04:22 > 0:04:25defender Chris Gunter says letting go of manager Chris Coleman

0:04:25 > 0:04:28after the European Championships would be "crazy".

0:04:28 > 0:04:31The 26-year-old says the players would be "absolutely gutted"

0:04:31 > 0:04:35if Coleman was to leave after Wales reached their first major

0:04:51 > 0:04:54for the World Cup after that.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57What he has done and the respect he has from every single

0:04:57 > 0:04:59player is unique.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03I have never seen a group of players that every single one respects

0:05:03 > 0:05:06the manager as much as we do.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It would be crazy if we lost him now.
