:01:53. > :01:55.Welsh language have been announced tonight. Our reporter is at the
:01:56. > :02:08.National Eisteddfod. Welcome to the National Eisteddfod
:02:09. > :02:10.live from Abergavenny. It's been a wet day here
:02:11. > :02:12.in Monmouthshire, so we've taken Its not traditionally
:02:13. > :02:15.a Welsh-speaking area, but the last census did show
:02:16. > :02:18.a slight rise in the numbers of people speaking
:02:19. > :02:19.the language here, Well, today a new goal of reaching
:02:20. > :02:23.one million Welsh speakers The Welsh government says it wants
:02:24. > :02:27.the language to be a vibrant, Opponents have called
:02:28. > :02:30.for action not words. With more, here's our political
:02:31. > :02:38.reporter James Williams. It's one of the oldest languages in
:02:39. > :02:43.Europe. A part of the cultural brew and everyday life in Wales. A living
:02:44. > :02:52.language, but one in need of revitalisation. The Eisteddfod plays
:02:53. > :02:57.its part. A celebration of the Welsh language for the fluid of time and
:02:58. > :03:00.learner alike. Of course, many more people willing to learn Welsh, if
:03:01. > :03:04.the Government is to reach its ambition of almost doubling the
:03:05. > :03:08.number of Welsh speakers to 1 million by 2050, a figure not
:03:09. > :03:12.reached since around the last time the Eisteddfod was in Monmouthshire
:03:13. > :03:16.at the start of the last century. So today, ministers launched a fresh
:03:17. > :03:22.consultation for a new language strategy. Focused on six key areas
:03:23. > :03:25.including education, planning, and family life. This is a deliberately
:03:26. > :03:28.ambitious target, because what we want to do is to move the
:03:29. > :03:31.conversation that we have had about the Welsh language over the last few
:03:32. > :03:35.years. In the past, we're been talking about the rights of Welsh
:03:36. > :03:38.line which speakers, about the rights of those who use Welsh in our
:03:39. > :03:41.daily lives, but what we're talking about today is the place of the
:03:42. > :03:45.Welsh language in the future and the place of Welsh in our national life.
:03:46. > :03:49.But the Government faces an uphill struggle. According to the last
:03:50. > :03:54.census, 19% of the population said they could speak Welsh. A slight
:03:55. > :04:00.fall from the decade before. The 22 council areas Wales, only two had
:04:01. > :04:06.more than half the population now speaking Welsh. The lowest
:04:07. > :04:09.percentage of Welsh speakers had only 7.8%. Hardly a cause for
:04:10. > :04:16.celebration. But how do the people of the county feel about efforts to
:04:17. > :04:19.boost the Welsh language? I would have got if there workforce people
:04:20. > :04:23.speaking Welsh around this area it would encourage you to do it, but if
:04:24. > :04:32.there is no one speaking if you're not going to do it yourself. I would
:04:33. > :04:39.like to see it happen to be honest with you. But as I say, when we had
:04:40. > :04:45.the last Eisteddfod in this area, the Welsh language took off. In
:04:46. > :04:47.2013, in a different field, at a different Eisteddfod, the Welsh
:04:48. > :04:52.Government launched its so-called national conversation about the
:04:53. > :04:57.Welsh language. Fast forward two years and today's consultation
:04:58. > :05:00.launch has drawn derision from Welsh line which campaigners. We have very
:05:01. > :05:07.deep concerns that the Government have announced they are going to
:05:08. > :05:11.hold another consultation and more talk, considering they helped the
:05:12. > :05:17.last consultation two years ago and haven't acted upon that. Fragility,
:05:18. > :05:22.crisis, turning point. It is not hard to find the words to describe
:05:23. > :05:24.the Welsh language in its current situation, but campaigners say it is
:05:25. > :05:26.actions, not words, that are needed. Carwyn Jones was not the only party
:05:27. > :05:30.leader found on the Maes today. UKIP's leader in the assembly

:05:46. > :05:58.resign from one of them. I'm afraid we are only seven out of
:05:59. > :06:03.the 60 members of the assembly. We can't afford part-time or half-time
:06:04. > :06:07.ministers. He had a choice. You can't do too much jobs properly, so
:06:08. > :06:13.he has to choose one or the other if he wants to stay as an MEP, fine. If
:06:14. > :06:16.he wants to be a minister, fine. I need someone who is one of committed
:06:17. > :06:21.to the assembly in Cardiff on to the interests of the people of Wales.
:06:22. > :06:27.Well, our political reporter James Williams joins us now. James, what
:06:28. > :06:30.is the issue here? He has been a member of the European Parliament
:06:31. > :06:34.representing wealth since 2014. Since May, he has also been an
:06:35. > :06:37.assembly member, representing North Wales. Before that election in May,
:06:38. > :06:43.he said that if he were to be successful and win a seat, he would
:06:44. > :06:48.give up his role in Brussels. But he has backtracked, saying that
:06:49. > :06:54.following a vote to Louis -- leave the EU, the MEP job is a non-job by
:06:55. > :06:57.now, and there are no viable UK candidates to take my place and
:06:58. > :07:00.therefore it would lead to a costly by-election for the people of Wales,
:07:01. > :07:03.so I don't want to do that, but there have been increasing calls
:07:04. > :07:07.from within the party for him to step down from one of those rules
:07:08. > :07:10.and that has reached a concerned up to date when the national executive
:07:11. > :07:15.committee, that is the Rulli committee, the party's top brass,
:07:16. > :07:19.voted and said that unless you step down from one of those rules, we
:07:20. > :07:22.will expel you from the party. A rather extraordinary situation when
:07:23. > :07:28.you at the leader in Wales being told he may be expelled from the
:07:29. > :07:34.party. We have heard what Mr Hamilton has said. What does Nathan
:07:35. > :07:37.Gill say? His representatives say he is extremely alarmed by this demand
:07:38. > :07:39.and in the last few hours we have heard from Nathan Gill himself, who
:07:40. > :07:44.has published an open letter, saying that the college both undemocratic
:07:45. > :07:47.and baseless, and I will read this as well. After a decade of committed
:07:48. > :07:51.service to the party, having run the campaign in Wales as the UK leader,
:07:52. > :07:55.securing seven seats in the assembly, to seek to remove me from
:07:56. > :07:59.the party would be extremely injurious to the reputation of you

:08:42. > :08:47.He's been speaking to our reporter Ben Price.
:08:48. > :08:56.This is 21-year-old Amina al-Jeffrey. She claims to have been

:09:08. > :09:11.heard evidence from Amina al-Jeffrey's lawyers and those
:09:12. > :09:16.representing her father, who denies the allegations. But Swansea West MP
:09:17. > :09:20.Mr Davies says he is writing to the Foreign Secretary calling for the UK
:09:21. > :09:24.Government to do more to get her home. I'm asking the Foreign
:09:25. > :09:28.Secretary to verify the evidence that she is being constrained
:09:29. > :09:32.against her will, if that is the case, to ensure that as a
:09:33. > :09:37.21-year-old British citizen, she is allowed to return back to Britain
:09:38. > :09:41.and he takes all necessary steps to ensure the Saudi Government ensures
:09:42. > :09:46.that. This was Amina al-Jeffrey aged 16, a former pupil at a school in
:09:47. > :09:52.Swansea. It is understood she was taken to Saudi Arabia by her father
:09:53. > :09:57.more than four years ago. He claims he took her here to Jeddah in order
:09:58. > :10:00.to save her life. He claims her daughter was not doing well at
:10:01. > :10:06.school and had been taking drugs and going to clubs and spending time
:10:07. > :10:10.with older men. Last October, Amina al-Jeffrey got in touch with
:10:11. > :10:14.friends, asking them to help her escape. In an interview with this
:10:15. > :10:17.programme, one of those friends, who wished to remain anonymous, said she
:10:18. > :10:22.had managed to get hold of her sister's phone. The French or MIDI
:10:23. > :10:27.messages sent to them on Facebook. In them, she says she has been
:10:28. > :10:32.locked up in solitary confinement and is clinging onto her sanity. She
:10:33. > :10:34.said her family has her under constant surveillance. And that if
:10:35. > :10:40.they get suspicious about seeking help, she fears she will be
:10:41. > :10:43.tortured. Her friend told me she had asked them to contact the British
:10:44. > :10:49.Embassy, but in December last year, the messages stopped. One expert on
:10:50. > :10:52.race relations believes this case highlights the tension that can

:12:31. > :12:33.you have two leaves so it is not guaranteed that you will get a
:12:34. > :12:37.nightmare and the rest of the time you have been sleeping in bushes and

:12:43. > :12:46.are getting moved on for drinking and things like that, but we don't
:12:47. > :12:51.drink. Genuinely, we don't. We do get moved on anyway. They have two

:13:12. > :13:16.own, but when the kids around, it is not nice. I think it is just the
:13:17. > :13:20.fact that you know they have been drinking or taking drugs or what
:13:21. > :13:24.have you and then there are a group of them so if you are walking bass

:16:19. > :16:23.England. That equates to about 9% of the workforce, so obviously, health
:16:24. > :16:28.boards everywhere are desperate to recruit. This campaign aims to
:16:29. > :16:31.highlight the benefits of the south Wales valleys, not just as a good
:16:32. > :16:36.place to work, but a beautiful place to live. What we are able to offer,
:16:37. > :16:40.though, is something that is uniquely cultural to this particular

:16:47. > :16:49.team, the culture of caring and compassion that is unique to this
:16:50. > :16:55.organisation, and life, life in the valleys. Here, they have about 80
:16:56. > :17:01.nursing vacancies, and most health boards are finding it difficult to
:17:02. > :17:04.fill posts. In Wales, we are about 3500 short. Some people would argue
:17:05. > :17:09.that figure, but that 20% of those we train in Wales will go back to
:17:10. > :17:12.England or go abroad. But if we were to offer them the opportunity of a

:19:59. > :20:02.down to help fund my enjoyment of it and whether or not I can afford it
:20:03. > :20:07.because unfortunately we do not get football player's wages. Well,

:20:52. > :20:53.over the club in 2011, says signing the 99 year lease
:20:54. > :20:56.is a significant milestone and is staging an open day for fans

:21:13. > :21:15.racecourse. The open day is in full swing with fans getting a tour of
:21:16. > :21:21.the ground and meeting the players. I spoke to the Director of the club
:21:22. > :21:25.here. The university will still own this, but you will now lease it.
:21:26. > :21:29.What difference will that make? We have a 99 year lease, which is
:21:30. > :21:32.effective ownership for the next 100 years. What that means as we are
:21:33. > :21:37.responsible for all of the running of the stadium and getting all the
:21:38. > :21:42.income from the stadium, so that means we are open for business. We
:21:43. > :21:45.will be putting on concerts and we have hospitality and Christmas
:21:46. > :21:50.parties and anything like that, weddings, business meetings, what an
:21:51. > :21:55.inspirational venue to have a business meeting, so everything that
:21:56. > :21:59.you can think of the running of a football stadium, we are now
:22:00. > :22:08.responsible for. We will be launching our own lager at the
:22:09. > :22:13.weekend. And we have a tie-up with local companies such as the Village
:22:14. > :22:23.Baker, who will be supplying all the pies, so we are all sharing pies
:22:24. > :22:28.here. What could be better? What has been happening here this evening? We
:22:29. > :22:31.have an open evening for fans. The players are all here and everyone is
:22:32. > :22:35.just enjoying it apart from the weather. Tell us what difference it
:22:36. > :22:39.will make from a supporter's point of view? There will be a lot more
:22:40. > :22:46.for them. We are looking into hospitality areas where we can
:22:47. > :22:50.increase revenue. And also the -- they will be able to make the
:22:51. > :22:52.players a lot more easily do. Good luck with the newly reseeded pitch,
:22:53. > :23:01.ready to the new season. First to Abergavenny and Kate Morgan

:23:36. > :23:39.Eisteddfod. Brushing up on their Welsh skills. Some of them seem to
:23:40. > :23:42.be getting the hang of it. These refugees have come from places such
:23:43. > :23:47.as the Ivory Coast, Pakistan, and Syria, and they are hoping to build
:23:48. > :23:50.their future here in Wales. This woman, her husband and two children
:23:51. > :23:54.left Syria three months ago. She has been given an offer to study

:24:39. > :24:48.tradition. But according to Oxfam country, who has according today's
:24:49. > :24:51.event, more needs to be done. More need to make a commitment to welcome
:24:52. > :24:55.Syrian refugees. It has been slow progress but we are pleased that the
:24:56. > :25:00.First Minister is showing great leadership in this matter. We would
:25:01. > :25:04.really like that process to speed up and Wales should be doing more. The
:25:05. > :25:08.Welsh Local Govenment Association, which represents all of Wales
:25:09. > :25:12.councils, says steady progress is being made, but it is important to
