:01:55.:01:58.

Leadsom pulled out of the leadership contest, bringing clarity to a

:01:59.:02:01.

fortnight of turbulence for the Tories. We were expecting the

:02:02.:02:07.

Conservative leadership contest, like the Labour won, to form the

:02:08.:02:10.

backdrop of the summer holidays. But such is the pace of politics at the

:02:11.:02:14.

moment that the decision on one of them has already been made, before

some of the Tory faithful. If there had been a contest, they would have

had a say. As it is, they are now just bystanders. In the wake of the

:02:40.:02:43.

referendum result, almost half the country will feel quite relieved for

:02:44.:02:50.

what happened. For them, it will be nice to have a Prime Minister who is

active and can throw herself straight into the job and do what is

playing party politics with the Labour Party so we can Jeremy Corbyn

:03:22.:03:29.

in such a bad position. She has been a cabinet member for six years, but

:03:30.:03:34.

not much is known about many of her wider views. One thing we do know is

:03:35.:03:43.

that she now has a challenge as we negotiate our exit. I am honoured

:03:44.:03:48.

and humbled turban chosen by the Conservative Party to become its

:03:49.:03:54.

leader -- humbled to have been chosen. She commands respect and has

:03:55.:04:00.

huge authority. I have been more than impressed at her ability to

:04:01.:04:03.

assimilate information and really lead. On that basis, I think she

:04:04.:04:08.

could be an excellent Prime Minister. To reason they will go

among those who voted to leave the EU when she was four Remain. At an

:04:19.:04:25.

incredibly turbulent political time, she is considered a safe pair of

hands. In his nearby fine, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives

:04:32.:04:34.

and prominent Brexit campaign gave her his full support. I have

:04:35.:04:38.

complete trust in to Reza May. She isn't one who says one thing to your

:04:39.:04:44.

face and then change her mind and actually do the dirty on you. She

:04:45.:04:49.

will be honest and decent in everything she does. She will Terry

:05:05.:05:09.

Live to Our Parliamentary Correspondent David

:05:10.:05:10.

Quite a day indeed. It began with two came to depth in the race. It

:05:11.:05:25.

was scheduled not to end until September. By lunchtime, there was

:05:26.:05:29.

only Theresa May and by five o'clock she was the new leader of the

:05:30.:05:33.

Conservative Party and David Cameron was packing his bags. He will leave

:05:34.:05:37.

on Wednesday after Prime Minister's Questions. Even those who have been

:05:38.:05:42.

less than enthusiastic supporters of Theresa May before now saying that

:05:43.:05:48.

she is the way forward in terms of stability and uniting the party. As

:05:49.:05:53.

said in the report, we don't know a great deal on her views on issues

:05:54.:05:57.

beyond the Home Office. In her job there she has had to deal with Welsh

:05:58.:06:04.

issues from time to time. From the mistakes over Welsh language ballot

:06:05.:06:07.

papers, the police and crime commission it election is, the whole

:06:08.:06:11.

debate over whether policing should be from Cardiff Bay or Westminster.

:06:12.:06:18.

She has come firmly down on the side of opposition to devolving policing.

:06:19.:06:26.

The word that comes up was detail. She's forensic in her approach to

:06:27.:06:29.

negotiation, you can't go into a meeting with her unless you, too,

:06:30.:06:36.

know the detail. Talking to MPs again today, you think that the way

:06:37.:06:40.

that she operates behind-the-scenes in and and sherry, and flashy way

:06:41.:06:45.

we'll actually be a great contrast to David Cameron as Prime Minister.

:06:46.:06:51.

We'll have to find out whether watches proposing will mean a change

:06:52.:06:56.

of direction in terms of the government's devolution policy and

:06:57.:06:59.

how different she will be from her predecessor. That is the Tories.

:07:00.:07:05.

Meanwhile, not an entirely quiet day for the Labour Party. There will be

:07:06.:07:11.

an election. Jeremy Corbyn has been challenged by Angela Eagle. She is a

:07:12.:07:16.

former member of his Shadow Cabinet who resigned two weeks ago. She may

:07:17.:07:21.

be joined by the Pontypridd MP Owen Smith. He is trying to avert an

:07:22.:07:29.

election coming he says, but there will now be a contest. Talking to

:07:30.:07:34.

Labour MPs, they expect him to throw his hat into the ring later this

:07:35.:07:39.

week. Keep us posted for the moment, thank you very much. Now the rest of

:07:40.:07:47.

Developers behind a motor racing track in Ebbw Vale say they're

:07:48.:07:52.

confident the Welsh Government will back the project this week,

:07:53.:07:54.

allowing them to get on with developing the site.

:07:55.:07:56.

A revised plan for the Circuit of Wales has been

:07:57.:07:59.

It requires the taxpayer to underwrite half the ?375 million

:08:00.:08:02.

cost of the project if it were to get into difficulty.

:08:03.:08:05.

It's a critical week for Circuit of Wales.

:08:06.:08:08.

A plan to build a racing track capable of hosting motorcycling's

:08:09.:08:11.

Grand Prix, the Moto GP, a range of industrial premises

:08:12.:08:16.

for the automotive sector and hotels, right next to the Valley

:08:17.:08:23.

The idea is to attract big-name companies and the sports car

:08:24.:08:31.

maker TDR has already announced its going to make

:08:32.:08:33.

And this is where they planned to build the 3.5 mile track.

:08:34.:08:37.

The circuit itself is part of a wider regeneration development,

:08:38.:08:39.

The company claimed it could create 6000 jobs and attract 750,000

:08:40.:08:45.

visitors to this part of the valleys every year.

:08:46.:08:51.

But the project needs Welsh government backing.

:08:52.:08:54.

The most important thing for us this week is getting the confidence

:08:55.:08:57.

and certainty from the Welsh government that allows

:08:58.:09:00.

Of course there will still be things to talk about and I'm sure

:09:01.:09:04.

there will be other negotiations, but what we are looking for is that

:09:05.:09:07.

confidence and certainty that we can pass on to our suppliers investors,

:09:08.:09:19.

An initial proposal requiring the entire ?335 million project

:09:20.:09:25.

to be underwritten by the Welsh government if it ran into trouble,

:09:26.:09:28.

A new plan has been put together which would reduce that

:09:29.:09:42.

With Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire councils providing loans

:09:43.:09:46.

worth ?90 million, around a quarter of the cost.

:09:47.:09:48.

In all, the public purse would guarantee 75% of the total

:09:49.:09:51.

The rest of the risk would be borne by the private sector.

:09:52.:09:55.

The leader of Monmouthshire Council has said tonight that neither

:09:56.:09:57.

they nor Blaenau Gwent council have yet agreed all backed the loans.

:09:58.:10:00.

The economy secretary is due to make a decision this week,

:10:01.:10:03.

before the assembly heads into summer recess.

:10:04.:10:06.

It's a big call for the new minister so soon into taking

:10:07.:10:09.

Who, back in April, was adamant that the risk

:10:10.:10:18.

At lunchtime today, still discussing issues on this.

:10:19.:10:25.

So it's important to recognise that we wanted to support this

:10:26.:10:27.

project, we thought it would have been good.

:10:28.:10:29.

But I'm not entitled to take the risk with our public money,

:10:30.:10:32.

and I don't think the public would expect me to take that risk.

:10:33.:10:35.

Now the Welsh government says it's always been clear that any support

:10:36.:10:38.

provided by the taxpayer needs to be proportionate and fair.

:10:39.:10:41.

It has also stressed that its door remains open if sufficient private

:10:42.:10:44.

The question is whether that's the case.

:10:45.:10:50.

A campaign to increase awareness of lung cancer symptoms,

:10:51.:11:00.

particularly in the over 50s,has been launched by the NHS here.

:11:01.:11:03.

It's one of our most common cancers, and the campaign is aimed

:11:04.:11:06.

at increasing survival rates by diagnosing and treating

:11:07.:11:08.

Devolved governments have said they must not lose out financially

:11:09.:11:15.

Following a meeting in Cardiff, finance ministers from Wales,

:11:16.:11:19.

Scotland and Northern Ireland said they should be included in the UK's

:11:20.:11:22.

Voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland opted to Remain

:11:23.:11:28.

in the referendum, while Wales voted to Leave.

:11:29.:11:35.

The future of the Port Talbot steelworks can only be guaranteed

:11:36.:11:37.

That's according to a senior executive at Tata Steel.

:11:38.:11:43.

The company's in merger talks with the German firm Thyssenkrupp

:11:44.:11:47.

after halting its sale for its Welsh sites, including Port Talbot.

:11:48.:11:50.

Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan.

:11:51.:11:59.

David Edwards is a steel worker at Port Talbot. He's been with Tata for

:12:00.:12:07.

ten years. The company's decision to abandon sales at its Welsh plants

:12:08.:12:11.

and focus on talks with Thyssenkrupp means uncertainty for workers

:12:12.:12:15.

continues for longer. There isn't a timescale, they haven't said they

:12:16.:12:23.

will put the on pause for X amount of time. If they put it on pause

:12:24.:12:28.

for, I don't know, six months and then they decide they don't want is

:12:29.:12:32.

any more, will be people who put bids in still be there? This local

:12:33.:12:37.

pub has been serving a specially brewed ale. The community has thrown

:12:38.:12:42.

its weight behind the campaign. Politicians are more divided on what

:12:43.:12:46.

the new plans mean. The UK Government says the merger is good

:12:47.:12:51.

news for workers and the future of Port Talbot. But Plaid Cymru says

:12:52.:12:56.

that if it goes ahead, it will signal the death knell for the

:12:57.:13:00.

industry. Some say the industry should be nationalised and begin the

:13:01.:13:05.

sales process again if Tata doesn't give long-term commitment to Port

:13:06.:13:10.

Talbot. Senior executives say the plant can and must become more

:13:11.:13:18.

successful. I think we need a very quickly put our heads together and

:13:19.:13:22.

find out very quickly and collaboratively the solutions, it

:13:23.:13:26.

may be part of the larger enterprise. Losses have been reduced

at Port Talbot. The UK Government is offering financial support and

reform oft putter deficit. -- Tata's pension deficit. Interest has been

:13:46.:13:54.

shown in the Dutch side of Tata, and not so much on the UK side. This

:13:55.:13:59.

might be about consolidating the continental Europe side of the

:14:00.:14:02.

business and not supporting the British side. What we need now are

:14:03.:14:05.

guarantees from the British government and front at a steel that

:14:06.:14:10.

there is a long-term, secure future based on real investment in the

British Steel industry. While the focus on an talks with Thyssenkrupp,

for the middle of the week. Wales is home to a rich array

:14:37.:14:42.

of historic buildings, but many of them are in urgent need

:14:43.:14:53.

of repair and restoration. According to the heritage body CADW

:14:54.:14:56.

more than two and a half thousand 19 of those have just been included

how do you breathe new life There are significant structures

by the charity Save Britain's It's a snap shot of some the UK's

:15:50.:15:53.

most endangered architectural gems. Finding new uses for buildings

:15:54.:16:00.

is one of the key things that And by that I mean, economically

:16:01.:16:03.

viable new uses. Sometimes that requires quite

:16:04.:16:10.

a lot of imagination, and certainly a lot

:16:11.:16:12.

of determination. And if you want proof

:16:13.:16:15.

of that determination, just take a look at this miners'

welfare hall in Penrhiwceiber Built in 1913, its Grade II listed

:16:18.:16:21.

facade remains intact. The library now houses a gym that

:16:22.:16:25.

operates as a business. While downstairs, the old dance hall

:16:26.:16:33.

has become a community boxing club. David Jones bought the building

:16:34.:16:38.

for ?30,000 at auction last year. His grandfather was a miner

:16:39.:16:43.

and he wanted to save this What we did notice,

:16:44.:16:46.

is that there was no dry rot here. This is why I can't understand why

:16:47.:16:52.

somebody didn't come So I'm just glad I bought

at the right time. Purchasing and preserving a listed

who redesigns old buildings for a living - make sure

you can't freeze time. Buildings have to change to meet

:17:20.:17:21.

the desires and will So we have to find new uses

:17:22.:17:24.

for old buildings. I'm all in favour of keeping

just because they're It can be a race against

A reminder of the top stories this evening.

:24:24.:24:25.

The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has been elected as the new leader

:24:26.:24:28.

of the Conservative Party and will be the next Prime Minister

:24:29.:24:30.

of the United Kingdom, taking up the post on Wednesday.

:24:31.:24:33.

Her rival to become leader of the Conservative party,

:24:34.:24:35.

Andrea Leadsom, withdrew from the contest this morning.

:24:36.:24:43.

I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen by the Conservative

:24:44.:24:50.

Party to become its leader. I would like to pay tribute to the other

:24:51.:24:54.

candidates during the election campaign, and I would like to pay

:24:55.:24:58.

tribute to Andrea Leadsom for the dignity that she has shown today.

:24:59.:25:00.

The former shadow business secretary, Angela Eagle,

:25:01.:25:02.

has formally launched her attempt to unseat the Labour leader,

:25:03.:25:04.

Jeremy Corbyn, promising to save the party and heal Britain.

:25:05.:25:08.

Mr Corbyn has said he'll fight any challenge.

:25:09.:25:11.

Labour's National Executive Committee will decide tomorrow

:25:12.:25:13.

whether or not he will automatically be on the ballot for the contest.

:25:14.:25:19.

The Tories may play out there again thrones.

:25:20.:25:23.

But they have nothing to offer on the question is this

:25:24.:25:25.

We are at a crossroads, and I am ready to lead.

:25:26.:25:36.

Let's get the thoughts of our Political Editor Nick Servini.

:25:37.:25:47.

They used to say a week is a long time in politics, but now it's a

:25:48.:25:51.

day. today's events will pan out

:25:52.:25:52.

in coming days, weeks and months? Theresa May has broad support of the

:25:53.:26:01.

Conservatives. From the senior figures, no one is going to

:26:02.:26:04.

criticise her because she will be the next Prime Minister. In terms of

:26:05.:26:08.

the rank and file, a bit annoyed that some of them not have their say

:26:09.:26:11.

in the leadership contest. Overall, I think they accept incredibly

:26:12.:26:18.

turbulent times and she will be a steady hand. You have to say, such

:26:19.:26:23.

an extraordinary day, how events moved so quickly. People keep asking

:26:24.:26:27.

me what she thinks of Wales. Sources is in the party say they believe it

:26:28.:26:35.

will probably be quite a cautious approach to devolution, more

:26:36.:26:38.

partnership rather than wholesale devolution of powers from

:26:39.:26:42.

Westminster to Cardiff. She was instrumental in the police and crime

:26:43.:26:46.

commissioners, which is a big reason why the Conservatives oppose

:26:47.:26:52.

devolution to Wales in policing. Not so for the Labour Party? This will

:26:53.:26:58.

trundle on throughout the summer. Angela Eagle started her campaign

:26:59.:27:03.

today. The speculation is that Owen Smith, the Pontypridd MP, will enter

:27:04.:27:08.

the race as well. They are likely to be up against Jeremy Corbyn, and

:27:09.:27:12.

it's a real role of the dice. If those two don't win, they are back

:27:13.:27:17.

to this huge problem of trying to hold the Labour Party together after

:27:18.:27:21.

another leadership contest. Who would have thought that it could be

:27:22.:27:26.

so divisive for the party, and people openly talking about the

:27:27.:27:29.

possibility of the Labour Party spitting as a result of a contest.

:27:30.:27:34.

Thank you very much. I'll be back with an update

:27:35.:27:35.

at 8pm and again after That's Wales Today, thank

:27:36.:27:38.

you for watching from all of us

:27:39.:27:43.
