11/05/2016 BBC Wales Today

I am absolutely convinced that Carwyn Jones will be First Minister

of Wales next week. He will be leading a

its mandate renewed last week. Why would we not but Leanne Wood

forward? You will have to ask the other parties like this aborted her

nomination. Opposition parties send a clear signal to Labour that they

are not going to have it all own way. Labour have described it as

a political stunt. Also tonight, a court hears a GP,

accused of failing to prevent the death of 12-year-old Ryan Morse,

did not breach her duty With the referendum just six weeks

away, Welsh food companies tell us how the vote

could impact their businesses How Formula One racing techniques

are being used at Wales' biggest And in tonight's Sport,

will Joe Ledley miss We'll have the latest

on the midfielder's injury and also take a look

behind the scenes There's deadlock tonight over

who should be the next As Assembly Members returned

to the Senedd for the first time today following last week's

election, Carwyn Jones But Plaid Cymru nominated

its leader Leanne Wood, Our political editor

Nick Servini has the details. Dramatic developments which actually

cuts to the heart of the assembly election result last week. Labour

say they have a mandate as the biggest party and should be allowed

to form a government. By Camry and the other opposition parties say the

only mandate is that Labour don't have an overall majority and as a

result should behave accordingly. Whatever your view, an extraordinary

day. It was supposed to have been a formality but instead the nomination

of who should be the next first Mr turned into a thick roll call

between Carwyn Jones or the Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood.

between Carwyn Jones or the Plaid Davies. Leanne Wood.

between Carwyn Jones or the Plaid Leanne Wood. Mike hedges.

between Carwyn Jones or the Plaid Wood. Kirsty Williams. Carwyn Jones.

Leanne Wood. The result was 29 all. The Conservatives and Ukip supported

Leanne Wood, Kirsty Williams for the Liberal Democrats supported Carwyn

Jones. The deadlock caught everyone by surprise. The woman who had just

been made the new Presiding Officer Helen Jones was also stumped. In

frantic briefings immediately after by Camry said they took the action

because Carwyn Jones had refused to delay the vote. All they

because Carwyn Jones had refused to more time to discuss policies. What

is quite clear today is that the people of Wales now see very clearly

that not one party has an overall majority. Any

government has to reflect on the fact there needs to be a consensus.

The Tories were happy to support Plaid Cymru. There was an

opportunity for the opposition Plaid Cymru. There was an

put a check on Labour. Now discussions will ensue over the next

few days to see if a programme of government can emerge. There was a

furious reaction from Labour government can emerge. There was a

described it as a stunt and a sign that by Camry were prepared to go

back on what they said they would not do, which was do deals with the

Conservatives and Ukip. We do have very clear mandate to govern. That

mandate should be respected by the other parties in this place. When I

was voting in my old infants School last week I was talking to people

who would never ever have voted Plaid Cymru if they had known the

first action they would do was to do a deal with the Conservatives and

Ukip. The intention he was clear from all of the opposition parties

and Plaid Cymru in particular, to give Labour a bloody nose. Talks

will continue over the next few days ahead of another vote. Let's discuss

some of the issues with Rhun ap Iorwerth for Plaid Cymru and the

Jeremy Miles for Labour. You may not have liked the result in the

assembly election but Labour are the biggest party. They should be

allowed a first crack at forming something stable to take us forward.

Leanne Wood offered the First Minister yesterday, why not delay

this vote today for another week so we can have discussions about the

way forward? Labour decided not to and Plaid Cymru put our

way forward? Labour decided not to for First Minister. You are shaking

your head. This is a deal that I'd Camry has sought with Ukip and the

Tories and in my region during the election Plaid Cymru was asking

voters to block Ukip and now they have voted with Ukip. They were

discussions between Labour and Plaid Cymru and when the First Minister

attempted to call Leanne Wood today disabled Labour members would not

mind her to nominate a Presiding Officer Leanne Wood would not take

that call. There was no deal, there was nothing offered to the

Conservatives or Ukip. Neil Hamilton said you call him. We spoke to all

parties to say that Leanne Wood was being nominated. We told Carwyn

Jones and why not delay this vote? This is a five-year term so why

would Carwyn Jones not take an extra week to talk about it consensual way

moving forward. Plaid Cymru were offered concessions in order to get

the business of the day down and they refused to take the call today

on the most important day of the SMB. Is this a sign of an arrogant

attitude at times from Labour? We decided as members not to seek

nominate a Presiding Officer and also seek the First Minister to be

nominated because we didn't want to come across as anything but

recognising the fact we did not have a majority in the assembly. We tried

to work with the other parties but Plaid Cymru would not take the call.

Everyone has a right to know from you what you want from this process?

What's important is what the people of Wales want. The people of Wales

said in the election last week they wanted no party to have an overall

control. Close in terms of seats but from a fair margin in terms of the

popular vote. Labour have realised today that cannot continue to run

things here as if they have a majority. We recognise we were not

in the majority situation. We will have to leave it there. Thank you

both very much. Back to the studio. The M4 relief road is one

of the biggest issues facing the next Welsh Government

and the Prime Minister and the CBI Director General are calling

on ministers to "get on with it". However, the Roadchef company has

raised an official objection to the plans saying they would be

"devastating" for the future Here's our business correspondent,

Brian Meechan. It is a familiar sight, heavy

traffic on the main route through South Wales. There have been plans

for more than 20 years to build a relief road to ease the congestion

on the M4 will stop the latest proposal which was favoured by the

last Welsh Government would see a new 15 mile Rd to the south passing

through Newport docks. On a visit to South Wales the director-general of

the CBI told me the next government needs to press ahead with it as a

priority. This is about real costs and the competitiveness of Welsh

industry so we have a member of West Wales hauliers who believes it costs

them half ?1 million year to the bottom line of the business because

of congestion. For the black roots to get the go-ahead they will have

to be in agreement between parties. Labour and the Conservatives

supported but are unlikely to do a budget deal. By Camry, Ukip and the

Lib Dems are against it. At prime ministers questions David Cameron

called for action. The delay in upgrading the M4 is damaging

businesses in South Wales and it's high time the Welsh Government got

on with it. But not everyone agrees. The Gwent wildlife trust has

received a compulsory purchase order allowing the Welsh Government to buy

the land for the M4 development. It is warning about the impact on

wildlife in the area. And businesses including Roadchef are also

concerned about the damage the current plan will do. It has raised

an official objection to it. Roadchef employs 190 people at its

Magor services including in its high-street franchise outlets. They

serve one point 9 million customers a year who come through the doors

and it estimates it could lose up to 80% of that trade if the current

plan goes ahead. That complaint has been backed by the freight transport

Association because of a gap of 15 miles between services as the new

black route has no provisions for another facility. This is a business

that has a long and successful future providing the motorway still

has access to the service area. The danger is that if the plans go ahead

as they are today I am not sure this service area has a future.

Supporters of the new M4 claim some companies may be exaggerating the

damage to increase compensation but Roadchef says it could withdraw its

objection if they were some changes to one junction. It seems more

delays on M4 decision are likely. A court has heard that a GP accused

of failing to prevent the death of a 12-year-old boy

from Blaenau Gwent "did not breach Dr Lindsey Thomas denies unlawfully

killing Ryan Morse from Her colleague, Dr Joanne Rudling,

also denies manslaughter Paul Heaney reports

from Cardiff Crown Court. Ryan Moorse had Addison's disease,

a rare condition of the adrenal gland which can be fatal

mother spoke to one of his GPs, In a statement read out in court,

Doctor Thomas described the conversation she had with Ryan's

mother on the phone In it she described Ryan

being extremely unwell, being sick with with profuse diarrhoea,

and with a high temperature. She suggested that Ryan try to take

paracetamol to bring his temperature down and that his mother should ring

through gross negligence With the referendum

on whether Britain should leave the European Union being held six

weeks tomorrow, both sides have been Two leading Welsh food companies

used a Downing Street reception to warn that a vote to leave the EU

would hit their businesses. But a former Secretary of State

for Wales said leaving the EU would open up new markets

for the 80,000 people who work in the farming

and food industry here. Welsh food on the Downing Street

menu as the industry took the chance to display its ways. And toward of

the consequences of leaving the EU. This company employs 600 workers in

Carmarthenshire. Exporting lamb to Europe. Being part of the European

Union means we have access to 500 million people in Europe and it is

very important that we have free trade and free access to these

countries. If we did execute up we could see tariffs imposed of up to

5% will produce. This is a save the EU also offers protection to

distinctive Welsh brands. We all know how the French naturally

protect the Champagne region and it's only right we protect Welsh

produce so they have the importance of the brand which is an added value

to British exports and to the importance of the economy in Wales.

All the countries putting the food on display today support written

remaining inside the European Union. But that is not a view universally

shared within the Welsh food industry. But the European market

for Welsh food also means a Welsh market for food from Europe. Farmer

Ken Austin believes only leaving the U the help his business. - a very

strong about coming out of Europe. The imports coming in, people that

have company with a Welsh name that the port is coming in from Europe.

The newly appointed leader of Wales' league campaign says farmers have

nothing to fear. I think coming out of Europe gives us a big opportunity

in a way the world. This is an opportunity for Welsh producers not

something that should be worried about. Food for thought as the rival

campaign shapes up. The week -- the voters are six weeks tomorrow.

Still to come tonight: Iwan has a special report from France.

We will take a look tonight at the Wales team hotel in Brittany exactly

a month before the first game in the European Championship 's.

How one conservationist is raising the plight of the wading bird.

Resuscitating a new born baby is a time-critical procedure.

To speed up the process, neo-natal staff at Wales' biggest

hospital are now using techniques borrowed from Formula One racing.

They studied the mechanics of performing pit stops

with the Williams Formula One team to develop more effective

ways of treating babies when life or death relies

In the frenetic world of Formula One, a pit crew can

change all four tyres on a car in around two seconds.

It's slick and swift, a team of 20 mechanics working

At the University Hospital of Wales, there's pressure too.

This is the kind of scenario staff here face for real all too often.

Resuscitating a baby that's fighting for its life.

Things change minute by minute or second by second.

At first glance, a Formula One pit stop and an emergency procedure

700 babies a year are admitted to to work quickly and effectively

700 babies a year are admitted to this neonatal unit and when that is

an emergency stuff you sometimes have just seconds to save a life.

So how can that process be speeded up?

And could Formula One techniques provide the answer?

The neo-natal staff investigated further.

They approached the Williams F1 team for advice and even

visited its factory in Oxfordshire to see the pit stop

What they saw was a team working in a limited space but with

equipment prepped and easy to access at a moment's notice.

Crucially, each mechanic had a specific role to play.

Back in Cardiff, the unit now has streamlined its medical equipment,

ensuring it's on hand at all times for all nurses to use.

And those nurses involved in resuscitation now have defined

roles that are in place before any emergency treatment begins.

We are looking to identify allocated space for us as a nation which will

be set out the same way for every resuscitation cert will improve the

movement of staff around the baby and also everyone will be able to

outcomes for our babies. The first minute of

today that the midfielder has The injury means he is out

Joe Ledley in France? It is doubtful. I spoke to a sports physio

He picked up the injury last Saturday so that would take him to

but you have one of your key players for your key games. If he doesn't

make it the first two matches you would have to rely on a deputy like

Andy King. But the FAW have not ruled it in or out yet. They are

going to give him as long as possible.

With or without Joe Ledley, Wales face Slovakia in Bordeaux

I've been over to take a look behind the scenes.

A view fit for the most expensive player on the planet along with a

resort ready to welcome Gareth Bale and the rest of Chris Coleman's men.

Welcome to Dinard and the hotel which will soon be transformed into

the Wales footballer 's home away from home. The luxury hotel has

everything the Wales squad will possibly need this although they do

have specific requests when it comes to the player 's diets. Even if our

team is a good team in the kitchen we are happy to know that we will

have a cook coming from Wales because at breakfast they want Welsh

cakes. With the personal chef, games room and private lounge the 67 room

Welsh wing will be closed off to the public away from screaming fans and

intrusive media cameras. The Welsh stars will have their privacy and

the room layout is a plus point. Not only are they spacious and

comfortable with a personal kitchen area they also have private lounges

with the players can unwind and socialise as a group during the

limited relaxing time they will have available. This area by the way is

about to be rebranded. The primary colour, naturally, read. There are

no excuses for the players. It is a lovely hotel with magnificent

facilities. But they are not here on holiday, they are here to get as far

as they can. Chris Coleman it seems has left no stone unturned. About

five but strive from the hotel this is where he will take care of those

last minute reparations. Apart from the first-class training ground they

also have access to the hotel's spa facilities. Here we have the

physiotherapy swimming pool which will be used by the team. It is all

see water which is 34 degrees and used for recovering. So Dinard in

beautiful Brittany is idyllic but some may question its location with

Wales playing two games in the South of France against Slovakia and

Russia and one against England in lawns about five hours Drive to the

east, why not pick a more central camp? With an airport just five but

strive away the squad will fly swiftly and stress free from the

needs of any, easily returning to this tranquil and private part of

France to regroup between games. The plans seemingly in place, Chris

Coleman's men kick off their campaign in a month's time.
