Good evening. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
A senior figure in motorsport says the industry is sceptical | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
about locating the proposed Circuit of Wales racetrack in Ebbw Vale. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Last week, the Welsh Government decided not to underwrite | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
?350 million worth of private funding for the project. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
But developers are hopeful a new deal will proceed. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Rebecca John reports. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
It's events like the MotoGP which the team behind the planned | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Circuit of Wales racetrack hope will still come to Ebbw Vale. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
The Heads of the Valleys Development Company, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
which runs the Circuit of Wales, says up to 6,000 jobs could be | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
created by the project. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
But a director of a motor circuit owners' group, who also runs | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
the Donington Park Circuit, told BBC Wales there's scepticism | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
in the industry about those figures and the proposed location. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
The British motorsport industry is very much focused | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
on what they called motorsport value, running approximately | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
from Oxford up in a loop through Northamptonshire | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
towards Leicestershire and Derbyshire. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Now, in that area lie 50,000 jobs and they're | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
all a little bit interdependent. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
The point being that they are close to each other. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
So it doesn't matter of someone had suggested that a new motor racing | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
track be built in Cornwall or in Aberdeen or in Ebbw Vale, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
it would still have been well outside the natural conglomeration | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
of these industries. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
The Circuit of Wales has been contacted for a response. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Three days ago the Welsh Government said it could not underwrite | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
the ?350 million of private funding from the insurance company Aviva. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
Now a new proposal is on the table which keeps the Aviva investment, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
but reduces the risk to the Welsh Government. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Developers hope, if it's agreed, that this new deal could proceed | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
within eight weeks. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has urged China to accelerate | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
efforts to reduce levels of steel production during a meeting | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
with his counterpart in Beijing. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Steel dumping is considered a factor in Tata's decision to sell its UK | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
business including Port Talbot. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
Steelworkers were given a standing ovation as they paraded a banner | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
at the Liberty Stadium earlier ahead of Swansea City's game with Chelsea. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
The club said it invited them to show support for Tata employees. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:27 | |
The Welsh Conservatives say people need more of a say over plans to cut | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
the number of councils in Wales from 22 to eight or nine. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
The party says if it wins the Assembly election in May, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
it would only allow voluntary mergers if people backed | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
the plans in a referendum. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Labour says it would use Wales' share of the sugar tax to fund | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
health charities if it retains power in the Assembly next month. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
The tax on sugary drinks will be introduced by the UK Government | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
in 2018 and will bring around ?26 million to Wales | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
in the first year. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
On to sport and the Dragons are through to the semifinals | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
of the Challenge Cup after a shock win over reigning | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
champions Gloucester. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
A late try from Charlie Davies helped them to a 23 | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
points to 21 victory. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
They will face Montpellier later this month. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Onto football and Swansea City's Premiership survival looks ever more | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
secure after a valuable win over Chelsea. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
But Cardiff's Championship play-off hopes suffered a blow. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
They lost 2-1 at Fulham. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Newport County conceded a fifth straight defeat, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
losing at home to Cambridge. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
And the National League play-offs are looking less likely for Wrexham | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
after they lost to Dover. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
Welsh triathlete Helen Jenkins has strengthened her case to be selected | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
for the Rio Olympics after winning the Gold Coast World Series | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
event in Australia. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
The 32-year-old from Bridgend is hoping to join fellow Welsh | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
athlete Non Stanford in the squad, which is named in June. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:56 | |
World champion boxer Lee Selby says he has the option of some huge | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
fights if he can overcome his nerves and beat American, Eric Hunter. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
The boxer from Barry makes the second defence of his IBF | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
World Featherweight title at London's O2 Arena tonight. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
I've got the same emotions going into this fight | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
as I did my first fight. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
I get nervous before every fight. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I hide it well, but any fighter that says they going into a fight not | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
nervous is telling lies. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Let's take a look at the weather forecast now with Benny. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
It's been a pretty changeable day but it is looking | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
more promising tomorrow. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
Brisk winds but it should be mostly dry. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Just a few showers dotted around tonight. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
They could be wintry at times but also some clear skies | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
so we could see some frost forming into the early hours of Sunday | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
morning and a chilly night. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
Those temperatures getting down to minus one Celsius, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
so a chilly start to Sunday morning. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
A lot of dry weather to look forward to. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Variable amounts of clouds and some sunshine. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
We might just see a little bit of rain clipping | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
parts of Pembrokeshire, but for the bulk of the country it | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
should be dry with strong winds. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Temperatures getting up to 11 to 13 Celsius. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
Have a lovely weekend. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:03 | |
Until then, from everyone on the weekend team, bye bye. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 |
