:00:07. > :00:11.Today, Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb resigns from the cabinet,

:00:12. > :00:14.following newspaper allegations about his private life.

:00:15. > :00:29.When he went for the leadership he was essentially a Welsh MP. I think

:00:30. > :00:30.it raised the profile of Wales and the Conservative Party in Wales.

:00:31. > :00:33.Alun Cairns stays on Welsh Secretary.

:00:34. > :00:49.We'll have all the analysis live from Westminster.

:00:50. > :00:52.Also tonight, hundreds of jobs are lost, as a major bus company

:00:53. > :01:05.Getting paid last week was the last. We've got to apply to the Government

:01:06. > :01:08.We've got to apply to the Government for the rest.

:01:09. > :01:10.Questions over why millions of pounds of public money

:01:11. > :01:13.was ploughed into this failed steel coating company when the Welsh

:01:14. > :01:17.They fought to save their school sixth forms, now campaigners

:01:18. > :01:21.are worried Pembrokeshire council is back-tracking.

:01:22. > :01:24.And how tragedy on a lighthouse off the Pembrokeshire coast in the 1800s

:01:25. > :01:38.The highest profile Welsh MP in the cabinet has resigned.

:01:39. > :01:40.Stephen Crabb, who was work and pensions secretary,

:01:41. > :01:43.said the decision was in the best interests of his family

:01:44. > :01:47.following newspaper allegations about his private life.

:01:48. > :01:49.The MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire, who was promoted from being

:01:50. > :01:52.Welsh Secretary in March, was one of several contenders

:01:53. > :01:54.for the Tory leadership who lost out to Theresa May.

:01:55. > :01:56.Our parliamentary correspondent David Cornock is at Westminster

:01:57. > :02:14.Main Mac has completed her first Cabinet reshuffle. There is one

:02:15. > :02:19.Welsh MP left, Alun Cairns has been reappointed Secretary of State for

:02:20. > :02:23.Wales, but Stephen Crabb's resignation is one of the big

:02:24. > :02:28.surprises. It's not clear if he was offered another job and turned it

:02:29. > :02:32.down or asked to stay at work and pensions, but his departure marks a

:02:33. > :02:38.rapid change of fortune for one of politic's rising stars. He was the

:02:39. > :02:43.future ones. When Stephen Crabb was summoned to this lunchtime it was

:02:44. > :02:47.expected to be good news. Ministers are sacked in private, only those

:02:48. > :02:51.with job offers get to do the Downing Street walk. He emerged

:02:52. > :02:55.having resigned from the Cabinet, in a statement he said that after

:02:56. > :02:59.careful reflection he had told Theresa May he wouldn't be in her

:03:00. > :03:04.government, in the best interests of his family. Colleagues were

:03:05. > :03:12.sympathetic. I am sad that Stephen has resigned. He is one of Wales's

:03:13. > :03:16.most talented politicians. He brought a lot, I understand why, but

:03:17. > :03:21.I hope it is Stephen being benched rather than taken off the team.

:03:22. > :03:26.His decision follows reports that the married father of two had sent

:03:27. > :03:29.suggestive text messages to a young woman. Behaviour that seems at odds

:03:30. > :03:36.with the leadership is based on his values. -- a leadership bid based on

:03:37. > :03:43.his values. Resilience, optimism, humility,

:03:44. > :03:47.strengths. Qualities he said he had learned

:03:48. > :03:50.from his mother who single-handedly raised him and his brothers in a

:03:51. > :03:55.council house in Haverfordwest. Despite finishing fourth of five

:03:56. > :04:01.colleagues thought he ran a good leadership campaign.

:04:02. > :04:06.To not take a position now when there is a huge government coming

:04:07. > :04:10.in, there is a lot of change and merging departments. There is room

:04:11. > :04:14.for everybody to come back. I expect Stephen Crabb to be back in

:04:15. > :04:18.government, certainly within my period.

:04:19. > :04:23.Even by Westminster standards Stephen Crabb has been a remarkable

:04:24. > :04:27.rise and fall, from the Wales Office to the Department for Work and

:04:28. > :04:33.Pensions, to leadership contender and is now back to the backbenches,

:04:34. > :04:36.all inside for months. But that 43, friends hope that time is on his

:04:37. > :04:42.side for his resilience and optimism to deliver a comeback.

:04:43. > :04:47.David, there is no movement at the Wales Office? No, Alun Cairns had a

:04:48. > :04:54.slightly more pleasant visit to Downing Street this afternoon. He

:04:55. > :04:59.met Theresa May and was reappointed to the role he took on four months

:05:00. > :05:05.ago. We caught up with him a short time ago and he gave this reaction.

:05:06. > :05:09.Privileged, of course, to have been reappointed to the role by the new

:05:10. > :05:13.Prime Minister, Theresa May, but of course there is work to do. I want

:05:14. > :05:17.to continue the track I've been pursuing for the last four months.

:05:18. > :05:21.Steel is our priority of and course I meeting with Greg Clark very soon

:05:22. > :05:25.to discuss the immediate issues. There is also the Wales Bill which

:05:26. > :05:30.will empower the Assembly to deliver on policies on the things that

:05:31. > :05:38.really matter, as well then as the fallout of the Brexit referendum.

:05:39. > :05:44.Alun Cairns highlighting key issues in his injury has he was carries on

:05:45. > :05:53.his time at the Welsh office. He spoke with Kancoat bowed to steel

:05:54. > :05:56.into street and the uncertainty of jobs and delivering Welsh

:05:57. > :06:01.legislation that will give the Assembly more powers. -- he spoke

:06:02. > :06:06.with Theresa May. He will definitely have his hands full, no news on his

:06:07. > :06:13.deputy but we are expecting little better to be reappointed in natural.

:06:14. > :06:16.320 people have lost their jobs, and there's been disruption for bus

:06:17. > :06:18.passengers across North Wales after a coach company near Wrexham

:06:19. > :06:22.GHA Coaches operated more than 230 vehicles on school-bus routes

:06:23. > :06:30.Matthew Richards is at the company's base.

:06:31. > :06:33.This was a massive shock for drivers and other staff

:06:34. > :06:36.who learned their fate in a text message last night.

:06:37. > :06:40.They've been told by administrators that they've been made redundant

:06:41. > :06:46.Meanwhile councils have scrambled to make sure children can get

:06:47. > :06:52.to and from school and other passengers have been left stranded.

:06:53. > :06:55.Hundreds of GHA staff gathered at the company headquarters this

:06:56. > :06:58.morning to be told that the company had ceased trading and

:06:59. > :07:06.As they emerged there was anger, sadness and bewilderment.

:07:07. > :07:15.I'm not sure what to do with this. I'll give it to you. The owners are

:07:16. > :07:20.gutted. They worked hard. They were good hard working people and we've

:07:21. > :07:23.lost everything. It's really sad. We got paid last week 's wages, the

:07:24. > :07:28.We got paid last week 's wages, the last one, we've got to apply for

:07:29. > :07:34.GHA coaches was established in 1990 and had grown into a major public

:07:35. > :07:35.transport provider carrying schoolchildren from Flintshire,

:07:36. > :07:37.Wrexham and Denbighshire as well as other passengers

:07:38. > :07:39.into Gwynedd, Conwy, Shropshire and Cheshire.

:07:40. > :07:41.But administrators say a winding up order was issued

:07:42. > :07:43.by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs over unpaid tax, it's

:07:44. > :07:46.thought the firm had debts of about ?3 million.

:07:47. > :07:53.That's left these passengers in Llangollen stranded at the bus stop.

:07:54. > :08:00.This is a very important service. The service to Wrexham is very

:08:01. > :08:06.important because there are quite a few people who use it to go to work.

:08:07. > :08:11.What are you going to do? I'm not sure. I'll have to start looking...

:08:12. > :08:12.I haven't thought that far ahead. I really haven't.

:08:13. > :08:16.Councils across North East Wales raced to find replacement bus

:08:17. > :08:18.services on their school runs, with other passengers

:08:19. > :08:21.hoping their journeys will continue under new operators.

:08:22. > :08:29.We've got services running through them be and back, a full timetable

:08:30. > :08:33.so the whole day. They are working on additional services in other

:08:34. > :08:37.areas of the county. It will take time. I hope the public with us on

:08:38. > :08:38.this and will be with us because it is very difficult.

:08:39. > :08:42.The Welsh Government says it's been working to protect the network

:08:43. > :08:45.provided by GHA coaches and wants to minimise any adverse effect

:08:46. > :08:51.of the company entering administration.

:08:52. > :08:56.Just before being appointed the Transport Secretary today Chris

:08:57. > :09:00.Grayling said they would try and tab. When a business is placed into

:09:01. > :09:05.a ministration it is difficult to save it, but I know that the Welsh

:09:06. > :09:06.office will do everything they can to provide appropriate support with

:09:07. > :09:10.to provide appropriate support with a unable to do so.

:09:11. > :09:12.It's not yet clear what's caused the company's financial predicament

:09:13. > :09:14.but some passengers have complained about inconsistencies

:09:15. > :09:17.Now they, and the employees, find themselves without

:09:18. > :09:29.The administrators have said they will explore any options to see if

:09:30. > :09:34.part of the business can be saved but they are priority is paying off

:09:35. > :09:38.creditors. As for former employees a number of them were speaking to the

:09:39. > :09:44.rival bus company a Riva today to see if any work could be got from

:09:45. > :09:47.them. Some have been told they can stay on while any outstanding

:09:48. > :09:48.business such as repairs are carried out. Bank you.

:09:49. > :09:52.BBC Wales understands the leader of Ukip in Wales, Nathan Gill,

:09:53. > :09:55.is to stand as a running-mate to Ukip MEP for the North West

:09:56. > :09:57.Steven Woolfe, in a bid for the party's leadership.

:09:58. > :10:00.A source has said Mr Gill, who is an MEP and an AM,

:10:01. > :10:06.Ukip is looking for a new leader after Nigel Farage announced

:10:07. > :10:13.he was stepping-down earlier this month.

:10:14. > :10:16.Ukip's Neil Hamilton could have some of his living costs

:10:17. > :10:18.paid by the taxpayer, despite not living in Wales.

:10:19. > :10:21.Assembly Members can claim more than ?8,000 per year for Cardiff

:10:22. > :10:24.accommodation expenses if they live outside South Wales.

:10:25. > :10:27.The Assembly's Independent Remuneration Board is considering

:10:28. > :10:37.a change to the rules for AMs living in England.

:10:38. > :10:39.A third man has been charged with the murder

:10:40. > :10:42.of 29-year-old Lynford Brewster, who died of stab wounds last month

:10:43. > :10:44.following an incident in the Llanedyrn area of Cardiff.

:10:45. > :10:46.23-year-old Jake Whelan from Kidderminster appeared before

:10:47. > :10:51.Two other men also remain in custody charged with the murder.

:10:52. > :10:54.Campaigners who fought to save their school sixth forms

:10:55. > :10:56.in Pembrokeshire fear the council could be back-tracking,

:10:57. > :11:00.after all plans have now gone back to the drawing board.

:11:01. > :11:02.The head boy of Tasker Milward school told BBC Wales,

:11:03. > :11:05.he's written a letter of complaint to the council, describing the whole

:11:06. > :11:14.Secondary schooling is a divisive subject in Pembrokeshire,

:11:15. > :11:21.with protests outside the council HQ and mud-slinging inside.

:11:22. > :11:25.This proud county has deserved better for the last four years.

:11:26. > :11:28.You have bled it dry and your legacy will cause us

:11:29. > :11:34.Having fought a three year campaign to vote down plans that

:11:35. > :11:37.would scrap their sixth forms and centralise A-Level provision,

:11:38. > :11:42.it's now back to scratch, and campaigners have now been

:11:43. > :11:48.The county council asked the same questions until the people

:11:49. > :11:51.of Pembrokeshire get fed up and give them the answer they want.

:11:52. > :11:53.That's really not the way to go about this.

:11:54. > :11:55.This is far more important than that.

:11:56. > :11:58.Pembrokeshire's now facing an uphill struggle, because the row over

:11:59. > :12:02.secondary school reorganisation has now gone on for so long they're

:12:03. > :12:06.in danger of missing out on the lion's share of funding

:12:07. > :12:09.for 21st century schools, and meanwhile standards

:12:10. > :12:16.Both secondary schools in the county town of Haverfordwest have been put

:12:17. > :12:22.And across Pembrokeshire GCSE results are below

:12:23. > :12:25.the national average, education-wise it's at the bottom

:12:26. > :12:29.end of the league table, 16th out of the 22 local

:12:30. > :12:36.Faced with this tough brief, the new member for Education told me

:12:37. > :12:40.the council was still committed to the idea of an A-Level centre,

:12:41. > :12:43.but wanted to do things differently this time.

:12:44. > :12:47.I am very sympathetic with the concerns of

:12:48. > :12:54.I am confident, however, that we can address those and,

:12:55. > :12:57.particularly those eloquent sixth form people we've heard speaking

:12:58. > :13:01.from Sir Thomas Picton, and Tasker Milward.

:13:02. > :13:06.Thus, I want to reward them with something they can live with.

:13:07. > :13:09.Whatever that is, it won't be voted on until next year, and the council

:13:10. > :13:15.here knows education standards can't afford to wait that long.

:13:16. > :13:18.The public spending watchdog says a steel-coating company in Swansea

:13:19. > :13:20.went into administration despite being given more

:13:21. > :13:23.than ?3million worth of financial support by the Welsh Government.

:13:24. > :13:27.The government's own review of Kancoat described the company

:13:28. > :13:30.as "high risk" with a "weak and inconsistent business plan".

:13:31. > :13:33.The Government says it's made "a number of key changes"

:13:34. > :13:46.Here's our political reporter Paul Martin.

:13:47. > :13:52.Well, what better prospect on a hot summers day than a cruel can of

:13:53. > :13:56.beer. But have you thought not of the beer, but we around it.

:13:57. > :14:03.Cannons like this were made in Swansea for years by a American

:14:04. > :14:09.metal firm. They left a decade ago with hundreds of jobs lost. Kancoat,

:14:10. > :14:13.formed in 2012, was an attempt to bring the production line back to

:14:14. > :14:18.life. It couldn't attract private finance but got support from the

:14:19. > :14:23.Welsh government. It went bust in 2014, having created just 12 jobs.

:14:24. > :14:27.Today's audit office report finds that the Welsh government's

:14:28. > :14:32.investment had previously turned down Kancoat on the grounds they

:14:33. > :14:36.were too risky. But the Welsh government decided to find the

:14:37. > :14:40.company directly and continued to do so despite an internal review saying

:14:41. > :14:49.the company's business plan was weak and inconsistent. Kancoat Noel owes

:14:50. > :14:51.the taxpayer ?2.6 million. There have been several high-profile

:14:52. > :14:56.failures of government backed firms in the last couple of years. The

:14:57. > :15:00.Welsh government says the vast majority succeed on their role is

:15:01. > :15:04.vital to job creation. So what is the right role of the Government to

:15:05. > :15:08.take? This report says they shouldn't have invested in this,

:15:09. > :15:12.they had a lot of reasons to say no and they ignored them. That needs

:15:13. > :15:16.looking at. More generally the way the Government intervenes often

:15:17. > :15:19.distorts the market, I think they are too quick to move when actually,

:15:20. > :15:25.what they should be doing, is standing back and seeing where

:15:26. > :15:30.support, coinvestors, rather than being the sole investor. If the

:15:31. > :15:33.Government pulled out of this area completely there is no guarantee

:15:34. > :15:37.that the private sector will fill the slack. You may end up with a low

:15:38. > :15:44.economic activity. That has always been the problem in Wales. The

:15:45. > :15:47.Government does have a role to play in helping that.

:15:48. > :15:51.The Government is now assesses alone is more robust Leanne B taxpayer

:15:52. > :15:58.could get back around ?1.6 million if a buyer is found for the

:15:59. > :16:03.production line. -- more robustly. Changes have since been made. The

:16:04. > :16:05.report now goes to the Assembly's Public Accounts Committee which will

:16:06. > :16:06.decide whether to investigate in more detail.

:16:07. > :16:10.The call for ?1 billion of rail improvements in North Wales.

:16:11. > :16:18.And how the fate of two men stranded off the Pembrokeshire Coast

:16:19. > :16:28.in the 1800s has inspired a new film.

:16:29. > :16:30.The formation of the new cabinet is now known.

:16:31. > :16:33.It is clear that Theresa May is serious about Brexit with so many

:16:34. > :16:36.prominent Leave campaigners being given big jobs.

:16:37. > :16:42.But there is still huge uncertainty about how it will all work.

:16:43. > :16:45.Exactly three weeks after the vote, we look at Newport and Swansea,

:16:46. > :16:49.two cities that voted conclusively to leave and ask how

:16:50. > :16:58.Here's our political editor Nick Servini.

:16:59. > :17:05.There is some heavy lifting ahead for politicians to negotiate the

:17:06. > :17:10.UK's withdrawal from the European Union. Then weeks after the

:17:11. > :17:14.referendum in this Newport gym expectations both good and bad are

:17:15. > :17:20.weighing on people's minds. Newport will did to leave with 56% wanting

:17:21. > :17:25.out. That is democracy. That is how it

:17:26. > :17:29.works. It is now to the Government to do the will of the people.

:17:30. > :17:34.They don't want to make too many people think they can leave as well.

:17:35. > :17:39.I did vote leave. They weeks after what are your

:17:40. > :17:43.thoughts? It is what it is, you can't change it.

:17:44. > :17:46.The referendum was said to be a decision for future generations,

:17:47. > :17:51.that will include the-year-old Ashton Davis, now blissfully unaware

:17:52. > :17:56.of the political drama unfolding. His future was the reason his

:17:57. > :18:01.grandmother voted to remain, while her partner, Chris, wanted to leave.

:18:02. > :18:06.We just seem to be wallowing and we need direction now. We need to take

:18:07. > :18:08.what the country has voted for forward.

:18:09. > :18:13.We should have another referendum because they were a lot of lies told

:18:14. > :18:15.by Sutin politicians will stop I don't know whether it was a fair

:18:16. > :18:21.referendum. There are still and answered

:18:22. > :18:25.questions, we are now, at least, getting a picture of a Theresa May

:18:26. > :18:30.government that is deadly serious about Brexit sooner rather than

:18:31. > :18:34.later. Remember, that will go down well here in a city like Newport,

:18:35. > :18:40.after it's delivered a solid vote to leave. Swansea voted to leave as

:18:41. > :18:43.well, so how is the new Prime Minister's chopping and changing

:18:44. > :18:47.going down there? She's the one for the job. I do

:18:48. > :18:52.think that, really do. I think she's quite a strong person,

:18:53. > :18:56.she's been a good many years. She knows a lot about it.

:18:57. > :19:00.Hopefully she will take is in the right direction. I think vessels are

:19:01. > :19:05.snubbing us and perhaps they should get on with the job, trying to get

:19:06. > :19:11.the economy going again. -- Russells are snubbing us.

:19:12. > :19:14.Something fundamental did change the weeks ago and people will be

:19:15. > :19:16.adapting to the consequences for generations to come.

:19:17. > :19:19.Business leaders and politicians are calling for ?1 billion of rail

:19:20. > :19:21.improvements between North Wales and North West England.

:19:22. > :19:23.They say it would transform the economy of both areas

:19:24. > :19:42.This station is a transport hub with services to Cardiff, Manchester and

:19:43. > :19:46.London, not a and a place where many passengers are happy. I find it is

:19:47. > :19:51.fine. I go off peak and it's easy. I just booked it online which was

:19:52. > :19:55.good. Don't need a ticket, got it on my phone.

:19:56. > :19:59.There are those who want to see improvements, Ashley Rogers, today

:20:00. > :20:02.catching a train to Birkenhead, he would like to see the journey

:20:03. > :20:05.improved and not just when his benefit.

:20:06. > :20:09.It's about getting time to get to employment centres in time to start

:20:10. > :20:12.shifts, to stop the working day. It's about getting to the right

:20:13. > :20:19.places at the right time with the right speed. To go to lead it took

:20:20. > :20:23.me three hours for 105 miles, that is slightly faster than a horse at!

:20:32. > :20:34.of politicians and businessmen from Wales and England have joined

:20:35. > :20:37.together and set up a task force. They've drawn up a list of what's

:20:53. > :20:58.Government scrap with some money. I am confident that the money could

:20:59. > :21:07.be found. We've been invited, by the Treasury, to present this bid, and I

:21:08. > :21:11.think we have made a good enough case to justify the investment in

:21:12. > :21:16.the region. So, plenty more to do at a time of

:22:04. > :22:10.A storm rages outside bringing little hope of rescue.

:22:11. > :22:13.That was the fate of two men on the Smalls Lighthouse off

:23:02. > :23:07.Now those events have inspired a feature film. The Lighthouse made in

:23:08. > :23:13.Wales with a home-grown cast and crew. As you would expect it is a

:23:14. > :23:17.dark disturbing watch, that is exactly how the producers saw the

:23:18. > :23:22.story. It is a psychological thriller about

:23:23. > :23:26.being stuck somewhere. Hope was always at the end of the film you

:23:27. > :23:30.came out of the cinema feeling like you've been stuck in a lighthouse in

:23:31. > :23:35.a raging storm for a few months. The fuel is hugely ambitious, but

:23:36. > :23:40.had a budget of just ?300. That ruled out shooting at sea, and of

:23:41. > :23:45.course, there was no way to find an exact replica of the lighthouse.

:23:46. > :23:49.Instead, the film makers recreated the lighthouse, the rocks and even

:24:00. > :24:04.using Wales's largest green screen they superimposed the C around the

:24:05. > :24:08.actors. In fact, the film used no fewer than 400 individual effect

:24:09. > :24:12.shots. But it wasn't all plain sailing.

:24:13. > :24:19.We had rain and wind machines up and running. You'd should the scene, you

:24:20. > :24:23.know, hammering torrential rain, indoors, then cut and vacuum the

:24:24. > :24:29.rain. Clear up. That was time-consuming.

:24:30. > :24:34.The lighthouse is currently touring Welsh cinemas, it may not be family

:24:35. > :24:35.there, but it shines a new light on a dark chapter in maritime history.

:24:36. > :24:43.Thankfully no storms but there is a change on the way.

:24:44. > :24:47.A few clouds but some blue sky and sunshine as well,
