:01:34. > :01:35.workforce of 4,000, along with many more thousands of jobs which depend
:01:36. > :01:39.upon it, are waiting to know if Port Talbot steelworks
:01:40. > :01:43.Its owners, Tata, have been meeting in Mumbai to consider
:01:44. > :01:46.whether to continue investing in the plant, which is losing
:01:47. > :01:49.a ?1 million a day or cut their losses.
:01:50. > :01:52.Tonight, we'll take you to India for the latest there,
:01:53. > :01:55.but we begin in Port Talbot where our Business Correspondent,
:01:56. > :02:11.It's dominated the Port Talbot skyline for generations, but the
:02:12. > :02:16.fate of the steelworks won't be decided here. The Tata board are
:02:17. > :02:20.meeting for the half thousand miles away in on by. They will have to
:02:21. > :02:25.decide whether to support a survival plan for forward in Port Talbot. One
:02:26. > :02:31.of the delegates who travels to India gave us his reaction.
:02:32. > :02:35.We are in the dark. The Tata board, as I understand it, are still
:02:36. > :02:39.meeting. We are waiting for a representative to come to the Hotel
:02:40. > :02:43.to speak to us. We have had no contact with them since meeting
:02:44. > :02:47.yesterday. We made the case for the fantastic
:02:48. > :02:50.workforce we have in Port Talbot that always delivers whatever it's
:02:51. > :02:55.asked to deliver. We left it at that. It was left them
:02:56. > :02:58.with an agreement that we would have another meeting after the board
:02:59. > :03:06.meeting to make. Tata pays more than 100 million
:03:07. > :03:13.pounds a year in salaries in Wales. ?750 -- jobs are going at the site.
:03:14. > :03:17.Everybody is very worried. Morale is down. People are left for the fight.
:03:18. > :03:22.They think they can succeed if they get some backing behind us.
:03:23. > :03:30.Some of the biggest departments as Port Talbot includes steel and slab,
:03:31. > :03:36.with 641 people are employed. 473 work in Ireland. 453 are in
:03:37. > :03:40.engineering. That is the worst hit section in the current round of
:03:41. > :03:44.redundancies with 40% of staff at risk.
:03:45. > :03:48.Tata has invested heavily in Port Talbot but the current plan calls
:03:49. > :03:52.for an extra ?100 million of investment.
:03:53. > :03:56.As with any big monthly national company there is competition within
:03:57. > :04:02.it for different parts of the business that wants extra funding.
:04:03. > :04:06.Concern is that with Port Talbot losing ?1 million a day, the boards
:04:07. > :04:11.in Mumbai might decide that enough is enough and refuse that extra
:04:12. > :04:17.investment. Save our steel! The Chief Executive
:04:18. > :04:26.of Tata Europe marched through Brussels with workers demanding that
:04:27. > :04:33.the EU take action to stop cheap Chinese steel folding into Europe.
:04:34. > :04:36.It's not only about the jobs at the steelworks, further redundancies
:04:37. > :04:41.here will also have a huge impact across the wider economy.
:04:42. > :04:44.Port Talbot steel workers are relatively well-paid, so if people
:04:45. > :04:48.were to lose their jobs it's not going to be easy for them to find
:04:49. > :04:52.similar employment of the same salary. That takes purchasing power
:04:53. > :04:57.out of the local economy. Unions also want more to be done
:04:58. > :05:01.about the UK and Welsh government energy costs on business rates.
:05:02. > :05:06.We are determined to continue working with Tata to do everything
:05:07. > :05:11.possible to secure the longer term interests, strategic interest of the
:05:12. > :05:14.UK and protect and preserve as many jobs as possible.
:05:15. > :05:17.If Tata decide not to back the planet leaves Port Talbot with an
:05:18. > :05:19.uncertain future, the hope is that it won't mean steel-making vanishing
:05:20. > :05:23.for blood. -- for good. We'll be live in Port
:05:24. > :05:27.Talbot in just a moment. But first let me take you to Mumbai,
:05:28. > :05:30.in India, where Tata's board has been meeting and where that
:05:31. > :05:32.delegation from Wales, including steel workers,
:05:33. > :05:34.the Community Union and the local MP Stephen Kinnock have
:05:35. > :05:36.also met Tata officials. The BBC's Mumbai Correspondent,
:05:37. > :05:38.Yogita Limaye, has been It's a difficult decision
:05:39. > :05:41.that the Tata group have I've been speaking to
:05:42. > :05:45.a representative through the day. They have been in evasive
:05:46. > :05:48.and tight-lipped and will not confirm whether or not
:05:49. > :05:51.we were have a decision on the fate We've also been speaking
:05:52. > :05:57.to a delegation from Wales That's delegation includes members
:05:58. > :06:03.of the steel worker union They expect to meet a senior board
:06:04. > :06:09.member from Tata to find out It has been a difficult
:06:10. > :06:18.decision for the Tata group, they have been seeing one
:06:19. > :06:21.of the reasons why the businesses in the UK are suffering
:06:22. > :06:26.is because of cheap Chinese imports. They can't match the price
:06:27. > :06:31.the Chinese are selling this steel. One of the reasons why they say it's
:06:32. > :06:35.expensive to produce steel in the UK is because of the regulatory costs
:06:36. > :06:39.and higher electricity cost. The Port Talbot plant has been
:06:40. > :06:43.losing an estimated ?1 million, or $1.4 million every
:06:44. > :06:49.day over the past year. That's why there are fears
:06:50. > :06:52.that they might decide to close down The union, however, is hoping
:06:53. > :06:56.that the company will That plan comes at a cost,
:06:57. > :07:05.there will be job losses, 750 jobs will be cut at Port Talbot,
:07:06. > :07:09.but at least the plant will remain open and that means the bulk
:07:10. > :07:11.of the 4000 workers there So that's the picture in India
:07:12. > :07:17.where Tata's owners are based. Let me take you to Port Talbot now,
:07:18. > :07:31.and our Business Correspondent, Brian.
:07:32. > :07:37.Let's talk to two people who are watching and waiting for that
:07:38. > :07:42.decision to come from Mumbai. Barry Evans is a steel worker here, you
:07:43. > :07:48.also represent the community union and Tony Taylor, URA councillor and
:07:49. > :07:52.former steelworker. Barry, how sure are you that you can convince Tata
:07:53. > :07:57.of the need to go ahead with this plan as it is?
:07:58. > :08:01.Obviously, it's been backed and supported by independent experts.
:08:02. > :08:06.We believe in the workforce. We back the plan, we just hope we get the
:08:07. > :08:10.board's support today. It is a huge impact on the local
:08:11. > :08:15.community, these are well-paid jobs and the people put a lot of money
:08:16. > :08:21.into the local economy? That is correct. They've is no plan
:08:22. > :08:27.B. I keep reiterating all the time you are talking about 15,000 jobs,
:08:28. > :08:31.it's not going to be soaked up by the local community. They will be
:08:32. > :08:35.suffering, small shops closing and further deprivation.
:08:36. > :08:40.It will decimate Port Talbot. What about that idea of there is no plan
:08:41. > :08:44.B? If they turn around tonight and say they don't accept the proposal,
:08:45. > :08:49.what next? Obviously, that is the worst-case
:08:50. > :08:52.scenario. We have two remain optimistic and hopefully will
:08:53. > :08:58.support us. They've been supportive up until now. Have faith in us, and
:08:59. > :09:00.we will repay them. We need support from the Welsh government,
:09:01. > :09:03.Westminster, and the UB and government as well.
:09:04. > :09:06.Are you satisfied with this sport you're getting?
:09:07. > :09:11.Not at all. The Welsh government should be doing a lot more.
:09:12. > :09:15.Westminster are making the right noises but doing nothing. I'm
:09:16. > :09:23.disappointed in our UPN MEPs. They should be backing the steel industry
:09:24. > :09:27.they should be dumping Chinese steel and subsidising energy prices. When
:09:28. > :09:31.you look at that plant it uses the same amount of energy as a city the
:09:32. > :09:34.size of Cardiff or Bristol. The least they can do is give us a bit
:09:35. > :09:38.of help. Both the Welsh government and UK
:09:39. > :09:44.Government has said they are committed to tartar and Port Talbot
:09:45. > :09:47.and want to try and make it work. We have a lot more on this urbanite
:09:48. > :09:49.including in the late bulletin. Back to you, Jamie.
:09:50. > :09:55.Tributes have been paid to a five-year-old boy who died
:09:56. > :09:59.Five-year- old Ned Jones, from Capel Bangor near Aberystwyth,
:10:00. > :10:01.and 77-year-old Margaretta Jones were among four people who died

:10:30. > :10:32.millions of pounds to fund investment should be spent

:11:26. > :11:30.The police were running past us shouting things like 'Get out
:11:31. > :11:33.of the way' and stuff like that.
:11:34. > :11:38.Then one came back and said we need to hide in this room.
:11:39. > :11:49.For her mum it' s been an emotional couple of days.
:11:50. > :11:52.We put her on loudspeakers so we could all speak to her.
:11:53. > :11:55.Thinking she would tell us what sort of day she'd had.
:11:56. > :12:01.It wasn't the reaction I was hoping for when I answered the phone.
:12:02. > :12:08.She screams down the phone, saying that some man has a gun.
:12:09. > :12:11.No one from the school was hurt, the gunman is now in hospital
:12:12. > :12:16.The school has since posted photos of people's continuing their history

:12:28. > :12:30.The teacher I spoke to was reassuring, she was calm
:12:31. > :12:35.If she is calm, the kids are calm as well.
:12:36. > :12:41.I'm sure all the parents appreciate everything that they've done.

:14:31. > :14:35.There is no foreseeable way to bring doctors in. When you look at those
:14:36. > :14:41.factors you've got to remodel. They are hoping as we are that this new
:14:42. > :14:45.model will work. My sincere apologies, that is the
:14:46. > :14:49.wrong film. I'm going to tell you a little bit about that now. It is
:14:50. > :14:54.about whether you have trouble getting to see your doctor. In
:14:55. > :14:57.Prestatyn they will be a new approach to primary health care.
:14:58. > :15:03.Betsi Cadwaladr Healthboard will transfer services to Ahab in the

:15:39. > :15:41.When you look at those factors you've got to remodel.
:15:42. > :15:43.They are hoping as we are that this new
:15:44. > :15:56.This building will eventually replace the existing GP surgery in
:15:57. > :15:59.Prestatyn. Until then the health board is trying a new system to
:16:00. > :16:03.reduce pressure on doctors and meaning patients get seen more
:16:04. > :16:08.quickly. The solution they have come up with
:16:09. > :16:12.is based on a system pioneered in Alaska and parts of London,
:16:13. > :16:16.assigning patients to a team of health care specialists instead of
:16:17. > :16:21.one doctor. We've assigned patients in Prestatyn
:16:22. > :16:25.two teams, each team contains the professionals you would previously
:16:26. > :16:31.have seen in primary care like GB 's, practice nurses, but some new
:16:32. > :16:38.roles like occupational therapists and a stronger input from
:16:39. > :16:42.pharmacists. As well as social care and prescribing professionals who
:16:43. > :16:45.can help us. We are not just focusing on tablets, but on the
:16:46. > :16:50.person. Whatever the reason for the change,
:16:51. > :16:53.existing patient support is optimistic, although the transition
:16:54. > :16:56.period is causing problems with appointments.
:16:57. > :17:01.You can't make appointments until next week. Basically, the turnover,
:17:02. > :17:05.nothing is occurring. Is that frustrating was my great is
:17:06. > :17:08.at the moment, yeah. You just want to see the doctors or nurses, two
:17:09. > :17:15.can't do anything. It's going to be wonderful. We're
:17:16. > :17:18.going to have doctors, nurses, triage nurses, everything.
:17:19. > :17:20.You bet on appointment the same day. You think it will be a better
:17:21. > :17:26.system? Yes. Today the council agreed to
:17:27. > :17:33.lease the building to the health board. They will move here by the
:17:34. > :17:37.end of the year. Now I take you back to Nigel Farage who says that the
:17:38. > :17:43.funding Wales get from Brussels would be available from Westminster
:17:44. > :17:47.if written left the European Union. Tonight he is addressing a rally in
:17:48. > :17:55.Newport. Before the event, Mr Farage distant himself from a Ukip Assembly
:17:56. > :18:06.candidate who was link to rubbish problems in Cardiff to immigration.
:18:07. > :18:11.Nigel Farage book to Daniel Davies. Mr Farage, a few weeks ago we here
:18:12. > :18:16.at Romney Prime Minister saying that if the UK were outside the EU they
:18:17. > :18:20.would be no guarantee that Wales would get the billions of pounds he
:18:21. > :18:24.has in funding. He is right about that, isn't he?
:18:25. > :18:28.What the Prime Minister forgets is that money that comes to Britain
:18:29. > :18:33.from the European Union is our money. Half of it gets lost between
:18:34. > :18:39.going to Brussels on coming back. Some of the arguments that have been
:18:40. > :18:42.put by David Cameron, and indeed Carwyn Jones, Mr Jones suggested
:18:43. > :18:46.that agriculture would cease if we were not members of the European
:18:47. > :18:51.Union. The fact is Welsh agriculture has been going on for thousands of
:18:52. > :18:55.years and was waving before the Common market, exactly as it will do
:18:56. > :18:59.after. But that doesn't answer the
:19:00. > :19:05.question. You can't give a guarantee about that money that has been spent
:19:06. > :19:08.training people in the Welsh workforce infrastructure, all over
:19:09. > :19:15.Wales, subsidies to farmers, you can't guarantee... Subsidies are
:19:16. > :19:20.completely guaranteed. We would be a self-governing nation. We spent ?6
:19:21. > :19:25.million a year on agriculture subsidy. 3 billion of it is spent
:19:26. > :19:28.mostly in France! Do you have two adapt your message
:19:29. > :19:32.in any way to convince Wales specifically to vote for you?
:19:33. > :19:38.You compare what I said tonight to what I said in the rest of the UK.
:19:39. > :19:41.Belfast, London, it's the same everywhere. The one difference
:19:42. > :19:47.night, here in Wales, is that they will speak about steel. I will talk
:19:48. > :19:51.about the fact that expensive energy, initiative started in the
:19:52. > :19:55.European Union, and picked up and made worse by the British government
:19:56. > :20:00.has damaged steel and heavy manufacturing in this country.
:20:01. > :20:03.Let me ask you about your campaign for the Assembly election. Is Gareth
:20:04. > :20:08.Bennett going to be a candidate in that election?
:20:09. > :20:12.I am the leader of the party. I have nothing to do with candidate
:20:13. > :20:18.selections. My job is to chart a political path forward. All I can
:20:19. > :20:22.say is the utterances I have seen that of an individual, he doesn't
:20:23. > :20:27.look to me to be the kind of person we would be proud of in a few weeks'
:20:28. > :20:30.time. So what happens next's don't ask me,
:20:31. > :20:33.Ukip has its own... You must be able to see what the
:20:34. > :20:37.procedure is. If you want to interview the party
:20:38. > :20:42.chairman or those who deal with selection you are free to do so. As
:20:43. > :20:43.leader I have nothing to do with that but unless I'm impressed with
:20:44. > :20:47.what I have seen. Let's get tonight's
:20:48. > :20:49.sport now, here's Tomos. Football, and the Wales manager,
:20:50. > :20:51.Chris Coleman, says his side's preparations for Euro 2016 won't be
:20:52. > :20:56.undermined by their recent results. Last night's 1-nil defeat in Ukraine
:20:57. > :20:58.means Wales have won only one But Coleman believes

:21:31. > :21:32.We hope and pray they stay fit. We will take the 23 that we choose from
:21:33. > :21:36.So a busy time ahead for Chris Coleman and his staff,

:21:40. > :21:43.The players will gather again in May, and there are important

:23:19. > :23:22.with Ian Rush. The first game is vital. Don't lose
:23:23. > :23:27.the first game. They'll go into every game full of confidence. I've

:24:15. > :24:22.Time for the weather forecast with Sue.
:24:23. > :24:31.Thanks very much. We had heavy downpours at times today. Hill snow
:24:32. > :24:37.as well mixed in, but the Show was ease tomorrow and more in the way of
:24:38. > :24:42.sunshine for most of Wales. Tonight, some dry spells but scattered
:24:43. > :24:46.showers. Wintry with snow in the hills, some frost patches in rural
:24:47. > :24:55.spots in North and mid Wales, temperatures hover above freezing. A
:24:56. > :25:02.dry yet more cycles date tomorrow with lighter winds. A few showers
:25:03. > :25:06.around, wintry with a hail risk but wind easing and turning drier and

:25:16. > :25:20.eight Celsius and ten in Cardiff. We see the odd wintry show tomorrow,
:25:21. > :25:25.but dry with lighter winds. Temperatures will drop away, subzero
:25:26. > :25:31.across mid Wales with overnight frosts into Thursday. A cold start
:25:32. > :25:35.but Thursday looks like a springlike day for Wales, sunny spells,
:25:36. > :25:40.variable cloud and small chance of a shower. Five of eight to 11 Celsius.
:25:41. > :25:45.A brief ridge of high pressure is keeping things quiet and settled,
:25:46. > :25:51.but another weather system will push in from the Atlantic on Friday. It
:25:52. > :25:56.could be a dry start, but turning cloudy and windy from the north-west
:25:57. > :26:02.with rain possible. Then it looks like that front should recede to
:26:03. > :26:06.leave a dry year, slightly warmer day on Saturday, but after heavy
:26:07. > :26:10.rain at times some improvements tomorrow and Thursday. Today's

:26:35. > :26:38.the Tata board about whether they will accept a rescue plan put
:26:39. > :26:44.forward for the steelworks in Port Talbot. More than 700 workers will
:26:45. > :26:47.lose their jobs, it would safeguard thousands more.
:26:48. > :26:52.You are not automatically or 4000, you are talking 15,000 jobs. It
:26:53. > :26:56.won't be soaked up by the local economy, there is going to be
:26:57. > :26:59.suffering. You will have small shops closing and further deprivation. It
:27:00. > :27:02.The last word tonight from Port Talbot, and our
:27:03. > :27:08.Business Correspondent, Brian Meechan.
:27:09. > :27:14.Tata is in a very difficult situation, they have invested a lot
:27:15. > :27:18.of money and are being asked for more money and more time but it's
:27:19. > :27:23.not getting any of the movement in energy costs or Chinese steel. It's
:27:24. > :27:27.a difficult situation, and the question is, have they finally run
:27:28. > :27:28.out of patience? We will discover that, potentially, tonight.
:27:29. > :27:30.We will discover that, potentially, tonight.
