Good Evening. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
The business secretary has said the UK government will do everything | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
it can to help find a buyer for Port Talbot steel works. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
It's also called for British steel to be used | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
in public sector contracts. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Meanwhile, the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, says the steel | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
industry should get the same help as the banks received | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
after the financial crisis. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Our political correspondent Daniel Davies has more. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Who can save this steel works? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
The clock is ticking for Tata to find a buyer. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
The UK government's handling of this crisis has been criticised. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
But with speculation about potential buyers sniffing around, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Business Secretary Sajid Javid says he will do everything | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
to clinch a deal. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
The UK Government is not keen on nationalisation, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
but it has encouraged its departments to buy British | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Steel. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
The Welsh government said it was already considering something | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
similar for the public sector here. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
There is a great emphasis on purchasing locally at the moment. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
The question now is what we will do in addition to that. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
It's probably a good idea to come together and see what extra measures | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
can we take. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
The first Minster, Carwyn Jones, said today that no one has done more | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
to defend the steel industry than his Welsh government. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Now he says it's time for bold action from the UK Government, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
similar to the bailout of the banks after the financial crisis. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
But Plaid Cymru accuses Mr Jones's government of lacking ambition. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
They called for taxpayers money to be invested in the industry. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
The Lib Dems say Welsh ministers have been slow to respond | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
to the industry's needs, the Welsh Tories say parties should | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
work together to find a buyer. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
The Government were caught unawares by the fact that were actually | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
thinking of closing the plant, and the final decision is at the end | 0:01:54 | 0:02:01 | |
thinking of closing the plant, and the final decision is at the end | 0:02:01 | 0:02:01 | |
of this month. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Within weeks, that came as a real shock to the Government, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
and now of course the clock is ticking very fast. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
Ukip says helping the industry would be easier outside the EU, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
a claim that is dismissed by their opponents in | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
the EU referendum campaign. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Assembly members did not expect to see this Chamber | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
until after May's elections, but they have been recalled | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
to discuss the steel crisis tomorrow. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
There's not much Assembly members can do about the big challenges that | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
are costing Tata millions of pounds, like high energy costs | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
and competition from China. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
But with thousands of Welsh steel workers facing an uncertain future, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
the politicians know they have to show they are reacting | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
to this crisis. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Daniel Davies, BBC Wales Today, Cardiff Bay. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
Four people have been hurt, one of them seriously, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
in a gas explosion at a house in Newport, which police | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
are treating as suspicious. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
Around 30 fire-fighters attended the blast on George Street just | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
before 7.30pm yesterday, which badly damaged the terraced | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
house, and also some neighbouring homes. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
An investigation into the cause of the explosion is ongoing. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
When we arrived at the scene there was severe damage to one | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
property on the street, the front completely destroyed | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
and debris across both lanes of the road. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
Original reports were that there were five people inside, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
there transpired to be 11 which caused some concern | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
with the state of the building. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Three went to hospital with minor injuries and one person went | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
with life-threatening injuries. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
The body of a man has been found in the search for a 24-year-old | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
crewman reported missing at Milford Haven docks in | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Pembrokeshire. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
Josh Winsper, who's from Cornwall, was on board a ship visiting | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
the area, when he was reported missing yesterday. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Police divers and the coastguard have been involved in the search. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:01 | |
Roads in Pembrokeshire will be improved after the council secured | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
?2 million of Welsh Government funding. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
There'll be new 20 mph speed limits outside schools and safer walking | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
and cycling routes. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Nearly ?8,000 will be spent on widening Glasfryn road linking | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
the A487 between Haverfordwest and Fishguard. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
The local authority says its committed to improving safety. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
Football, and Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidoorlin says one | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
more win will secure the club's Premier League status | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
for a sixth consecutive season. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Guidolin's side came from two goals down to secure a point at Stoke City | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
and are 10 points clear of the relegation zone | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
but the Italian says one more victory is needed | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
from their remaining six games. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
I hope to see my team play well in the last weeks of the season. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:52 | |
The season is not finished and I saw my team play | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
with solidarity, with enthusiasm. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:01 | |
with solidarity, with enthusiasm. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
And with collaboration. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:09 | |
Onto motorsport and it s been a good weekend for Chaz Davies, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
he's moved into second place in the World Superbike championship | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
after winning back to back races in Aragon. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
The 29-year-old from Powys dominated both races for Ducati, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |

Let's take a quick look at the weather forecast now. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
There'll be more showers tonight in most places, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
but these will clear briefly for a drier interlude | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
before more rain. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
It'll be mild overnight. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Tomorrow, there will be some sunny spells but we haven't seen the last | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
of those showers, even a risk of thunder. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Highs of around 12 celsius. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
