0:00:00 > 0:00:00That's all from me, stay with us on BBC One -
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Good evening.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15The European Steel Association has warned that the industry
0:00:15 > 0:00:19"won't survive" if the European Union grants China
0:00:19 > 0:00:22a special international trading status, saying the country's steel
0:00:22 > 0:00:25would flood the market.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Thousands of Welsh steel jobs are at risk, following Tata's
0:00:28 > 0:00:32decision to sell its UK operations.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36With a steel crisis continuing to cast a long shadow, referendum
0:00:36 > 0:00:39campaigners from both sides of the debate
0:00:39 > 0:00:40have a different take on the
0:00:40 > 0:00:44role of Brussels.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Welsh Steelworkers back in February urging the EU to
0:00:47 > 0:00:51take action against cheap Chinese steel.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Taxes have since been raised on some products but the industry
0:00:54 > 0:00:58has other concerns.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Do you believe if China is granted market economy
0:01:00 > 0:01:04status it would make the steel crisis worse?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I think we will not survive.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12The dimension of the Chinese access steel capacity is
0:01:12 > 0:01:16such that it would cause the non-survival of the European steel
0:01:16 > 0:01:18industry.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23China does not currently have market economy status
0:01:23 > 0:01:32because its government is seen to interfere in the market.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34The EU is considering granting
0:01:34 > 0:01:36China this special status which could mean its exports
0:01:36 > 0:01:39attract lower taxes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The European Commission which has been investigating Chinese steel
0:01:42 > 0:01:45dumping for the last ten years without taking any action is clearly
0:01:45 > 0:01:49not acting in our best interest.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I think we have a much better chance of protecting the steel industry at
0:01:52 > 0:01:56the EU level than a UK level.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Currently the EU Parliament position is we would not
0:02:00 > 0:02:04accept market economy status for China.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09The relationship with the EU and the fate of Welsh Steelworkers
0:02:09 > 0:02:11are two big questions soon to be answered
0:02:11 > 0:02:17that would shape Wales' future for years to come.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Four men have been jailed in Thailand, for attacking a couple
0:02:19 > 0:02:21in their sixties from the Vale of Glamorgan.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Rosemary and Lewis Owen
0:02:23 > 0:02:25from Wenvoe, and their son, were hurt during Thai New Year
0:02:25 > 0:02:27celebrations, in April.
0:02:27 > 0:02:36She told BBC Wales she's still traumatised by what happened.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Around 30 firefighters have been tackling a gorse fire on Alltwen
0:02:38 > 0:02:39mountain, near Dwygyfylchi.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41North Wales Fire Service is asking people living nearby,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46to close their doors and windows as a precaution.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48The American takeover of Swansea City Football Club,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52worth an estimated ?100 million, has been completed subject
0:02:52 > 0:02:56to the Premier League's approval.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58A consortium has bought a controlling 60% stake in the club.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04The Supporters' Trust will retain its stake.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Wales manager, Chris Coleman, says he's confident they WILL be

0:03:10 > 0:03:12their final warm up match.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15They were beaten 3-0 by Sweden, as Tomos Dafydd reports
0:03:15 > 0:03:20from Stockholm.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Sweden!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Zlatan! Zlatan!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25There was a friendly atmosphere for the only Welsh warm up match
0:03:25 > 0:03:26ahead of the tournament proper.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Both teams were desperate to avoid any last-minute
0:03:28 > 0:03:29injuries.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Lying back and soaking it all up we are here for the start of
0:03:33 > 0:03:36our campaign.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Gareth Bale did not start the match but there
0:03:39 > 0:03:41were a few anxious moments for those who did.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44First David Vaughan bundled over then the ball took out Johnny
0:03:44 > 0:03:50Williams.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52The breakthrough came just before half-time, the Wales defence
0:03:52 > 0:03:53are undone by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Emil Forsberg finished.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57While Wales failed to register any shots
0:03:57 > 0:03:59on goal in the first half, Sweden took
0:03:59 > 0:04:01control and doubled their lead, Wales twice cleared
0:04:01 > 0:04:03but could not keep out the third attempt.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07With half an hour left, the star welsh player Gareth
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Bale made his first appearance in eight months for his country and
0:04:11 > 0:04:15sure enough soon threatened up front but the last
0:04:15 > 0:04:16word went to Sweden, a
0:04:16 > 0:04:20third goal and plenty for Chris Coleman to ponder.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23We did not get what we wanted in every aspect
0:04:23 > 0:04:26to be honest but in saying that we have to make sure
0:04:26 > 0:04:36we are positive for the players, build them up this week.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49The players are arriving tonight
0:04:49 > 0:04:50at their base in northern France.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Over the coming days many fans will make
