Three members of the same family have been jailed for | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
what the police have described as modern day slavery. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
And the future of thousands of jobs in the Welsh steel industry - | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
a proposed management buy-out hasn't yet raised enough money according | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Three members of the same family have been jailed for more than 24 | :00:17. | :00:40. | |
years for what the police have described as modern day slavery. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Patrick Joseph Connors, his son Patrick Dean Connors | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
and nephew William Connors had denied charges including forcing | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
A fourth man, Lee Carbis, was jailed for kidnap. | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
Cardiff Crown Court heard that the victim and a second man | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
were kept in "horrific" living conditions and hunted down | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
They came to court denying all charges against them. | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
The prosecution said Patrick Joseph Connors had bought | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
a man and controlled him for more than 20 years, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
beating him and kidnapping him whenever he tried to escape. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
When he stepped back from the family business, his son, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Patrick Dean Connors, and nephew William Connors, | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
would seek his permission to put the man, Michael Hughes, to work. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
The court heard evidence from two victims, Michael Hughes | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
The conditions in which they were expected to live were atrocious, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
The police said their treatment showed a total | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
It is about how they were treated, they were used | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
The court heard how Patrick Joseph Connors ran | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
The prosecution said he chose customers who were vulnerable | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
and charged them inflated prices, while he paid the two men | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
One of them finally went to the police after seeing | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
television coverage about Darrell Simester, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
who was found after 13 years missing, and whose case sparked | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
If a ten or 11 or a 15-year-old boy has an argument at home | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
and thinks his parents are picking on him and walks away | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
from the situation, he could find himself in exactly the same | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
situation as Darrell, approached by a couple of these people, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
and being told that "We will look after you, find you something to do, | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
"you will be all right with us we will look after you, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
His case was, says the man who coordinates the Welsh Government | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
anti-slavery policy, a wake up call for Wales. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
He told me reports of modern slavery are increasing, last year up to 134. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Here in Wales, people are prepared now to make that call | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Of course, people who are enslaved, the victims, they now | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
We have always said that we want to send that message of hope out | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
there that we are here, that we will rescue | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Sentencing, the judge said Michael Hughes had been sold | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
to Paddy Connors and had conditioned to be a serf. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
He said he'd carried out the kidnappings to bring | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
All victims of modern day slavery are given the automatic | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Nevertheless the authorities hope their stories will encourage | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
other people to report their experiences or suspicions. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
A doctor who had previously worked in a North Wales hospital has joined | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Issam Abuanza left his home in Sheffield in 2014. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
Dr Abuanza worked at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd from 2007 to 2009 | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
and is believed to be the first NHS doctor to join the militant group. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
A proposed management buy-out of Tata Steel's UK operations hasn't | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
yet raised enough money according to the First Minister. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Carwyn Jones made the comments during First Minister's Questions | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
He's flying to Mumbai tonight for talks with Tata bosses over | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
the future of thousands of jobs in Wales. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Here's our political editor, Nick Servini. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
It is another crucial point for the future of steel as Tata | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
decides which bidders will go to the final stage | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Up to three companies are expected to be selected from several | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
in the running for plants that include Port Talbot and Shotton. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Among those in the frame is a potential management buyout | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
team called Excalibur led by the Tata director | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Stuart Wilkie, and Liberty Steel, which already has an operation in | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
The First Minister welcomed reports that they would | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
The management buyout option contains a lot of technical | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
expertise but has not yet raised the money. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Liberty are a substantial business but have not normally been involved | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
I look forward to witnessing how it progresses. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
I hope, tomorrow, Tata will look carefully at the bids | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
and will consider strongly the option of the management buyout, | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
On the face of it, this was a remarkably revealing statement | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
from the First Minister about the financial status of a bid | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Indeed, a statement later released from the Welsh Government comes | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
close to suggesting he shouldn't have said it, saying any details | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
of the bid are strictly confidential and a matter between | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
Plaid Cymru's Adam Price responded to the comments saying | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
the First Minister should be better briefed if he's going to be | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
While the management buyout team Excalibur said tonight | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
it was unable to respond to what they First Minister said | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
because of the conditions that had been imposed on it | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
Elsewhere in First Minister's Questions, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
the first of the new term, the Presiding Officer Elin Jones | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
told of Neil Hamilton for calling the Liberal Democrat Kirsty Williams | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
and the Plaid leader Leanne Wood political concubines last week, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
which drew this response from the Ukip Assembly Member. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
I thought that the image that I conjured up was sufficiently | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
ludicrous not to be taken seriously by anybody. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
I might have said something like the Liberals and | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Plaid Cymru getting into bed with Labour. | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
At this point, I don't want to rerun last week's contribution, | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
so I think it would be better in your own interests | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
to draw your remarks to a close now and for us to move on. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
It was also the first opportunity for Carwyn Jones to show | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
off his new Cabinet in the chamber and to state clearly | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
that the Liberal Democrat Education Secretary Kirsty Williams would be | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
bound by collective responsibility in the Labour Cabinet. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
But domestic affairs will be replaced by the state | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
of the international steel industry tonight, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
as the First Minister flies out to Mumbai. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Football, and police say up to half a million fans from Britain | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
are expected to travel to France for Euro 2016 - around half | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
There will be a ban on alcohol in the centre of Lens, where Wales | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
take on England next month, although alcohol will still be | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Fans without tickets have already been told not to travel | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Let's see what the weather has in store. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
There will be cooler conditions to which the weekend. Feeling chilly | :07:53. | :08:11. | |
out and about. That is associated with a weather front sneaking into | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
parts of the north-east. Further south clearer skies. Down to three | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow this weather front to the east is bringing quite a bit | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
of cloud to Wales but also some rain in East Anglia and it will reach us | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
by tomorrow night. First thing tomorrow, early morning sunshine. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Cloud increasing from the north-east. The best sunshine will | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
be at cross parts of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. The risk of a | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
shower across the North in the afternoon. There is rain across East | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Anglia. Further north and south it is drier but a lot more cloud | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
compared to today with temperatures between ten and. Tomorrow afternoon | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
it is a dry picture for Wales but it is cooler than today. 11 to 14 | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
Celsius with rain into the north-east late afternoon into | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
tomorrow night. Tomorrow night we have rain. Further south it is a | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
case of clear skies. A little bit chilly here. Temperature is not | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
dropping as much as tonight. At its lowest around eight Celsius. A | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
cloudy start on Thursday morning. Some rain across the North of Wales. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
Light and patchy as that front will linger on. Further south through | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Thursday it will be drier and brighter. Towards the end of the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
week the best of the sunshine will be across South Wales but there is | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
also a risk of a few thundery showers and that will continue into | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
the weekend. Warm but the risk of showers. Thank you. We are back from | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
six o'clock tomorrow morning. Thank you for watching. From all of us on | :09:58. | :09:58. | |
the programme, good night. | :09:59. | :10:02. |
