0:00:00 > 0:00:01Thank you.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Good Evening.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The business secretary has said the UK government will do everything
0:00:16 > 0:00:19it can to help find a buyer for Port Talbot steel works.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21It's also called for British steel to be used
0:00:21 > 0:00:24in public sector contracts.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Meanwhile, the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, says the steel
0:00:26 > 0:00:29industry should get the same help as the banks received
0:00:29 > 0:00:32after the financial crisis.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Our political correspondent Daniel Davies has more.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Who can save this steel works?
0:00:37 > 0:00:41The clock is ticking for Tata to find a buyer.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The UK government's handling of this crisis has been criticised.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48But with speculation about potential buyers sniffing around,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Business Secretary Sajid Javid says he will do everything
0:00:50 > 0:00:54to clinch a deal.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The UK Government is not keen on nationalisation,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59but it has encouraged its departments to buy British
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Steel.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The Welsh government said it was already considering something
0:01:03 > 0:01:05similar for the public sector here.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10There is a great emphasis on purchasing locally at the moment.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14The question now is what we will do in addition to that.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18It's probably a good idea to come together and see what extra measures
0:01:18 > 0:01:20can we take.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The first Minster, Carwyn Jones, said today that no one has done more
0:01:23 > 0:01:26to defend the steel industry than his Welsh government.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Now he says it's time for bold action from the UK Government,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34similar to the bailout of the banks after the financial crisis.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38But Plaid Cymru accuses Mr Jones's government of lacking ambition.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41They called for taxpayers money to be invested in the industry.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The Lib Dems say Welsh ministers have been slow to respond
0:01:44 > 0:01:48to the industry's needs, the Welsh Tories say parties should
0:01:48 > 0:01:51work together to find a buyer.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The Government were caught unawares by the fact that were actually
0:01:54 > 0:02:01thinking of closing the plant, and the final decision is at the end
0:02:01 > 0:02:01thinking of closing the plant, and the final decision is at the end
0:02:01 > 0:02:02of this month.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Within weeks, that came as a real shock to the Government,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and now of course the clock is ticking very fast.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Ukip says helping the industry would be easier outside the EU,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17a claim that is dismissed by their opponents in
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the EU referendum campaign.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Assembly members did not expect to see this Chamber
0:02:22 > 0:02:26until after May's elections, but they have been recalled
0:02:26 > 0:02:29to discuss the steel crisis tomorrow.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32There's not much Assembly members can do about the big challenges that
0:02:32 > 0:02:35are costing Tata millions of pounds, like high energy costs
0:02:35 > 0:02:39and competition from China.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42But with thousands of Welsh steel workers facing an uncertain future,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44the politicians know they have to show they are reacting
0:02:44 > 0:02:47to this crisis.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Daniel Davies, BBC Wales Today, Cardiff Bay.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05?2 million of Welsh Government funding.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30for a sixth consecutive season.

0:04:44 > 0:04:52I hope to see my team play well in the last weeks of the season.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The season is not finished and I saw my team play
0:04:55 > 0:05:01with solidarity, with enthusiasm.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02with solidarity, with enthusiasm.
