Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Why you might be picking up a bigger bill to help pay for | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And five UKIP Assembly Members call for UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
to resign his seat as an AM if he will not resign as an MEP. | :00:15. | :00:35. | |
You might be picking up a bigger bill to help pay for the increasing | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Taxpayers in Gwent are being warned they could be asked to pay more | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
towards the cost of policing if UK Government cuts continue. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
But the Home Office says the funding settlement for the coming | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Two years ago, cars like this were part of a dedicated traffic | :00:53. | :01:04. | |
unit, but with less money, that unit was merged with others. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Officers like this are now trained to do more tasks. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Public order, raiding properties, as well as road policing. | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
Technology helps as well, a device to help check details | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
It makes you more efficient as the officers can go on patrol | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
and can do the admin without having to come back to work. | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
Households in Gwent paid ?220 on average towards the police know. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
In five years' time, it could be more like ?270. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
The top line is the money Gwent Police gets from the Home Office. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
The bottom line is the money Gwent Police raises from local | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
The plan is for it to go up, as the other funding goes down | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
to balance the year 2021, it could raise ?59 million, half | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
We would need to so see a sustainable police force in Gwent, | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
there has to be minimum standards delivered, | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
If the UK Government continue with austerity and continue | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
to reduce their central grant to us, we have little choice other | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
than to turn to the local population for that input. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
The other police forces in Wales want to be in a similar position. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
North Wales Police already raises 50% of its budget from local | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Powys Police says it is likely to go the same way over | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
In South Wales, the Commissioner says he is also being | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Gwent has already seen the biggest drop in staff | :02:47. | :03:02. | |
Would people in blackwood be prepared to pay more | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
I would be happy for that to come out of my council tax and led | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Are you happy to pay more on your council tax? | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
I think it is, if we can see where the money is going. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
At this police station, the show goes on, doing | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Five UKIP Assembly Members have called for UKIP Wales leader | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Nathan Gill to stand down as an Assembly Member | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
if he will not resign as a member of the European Parliament. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
It follows criticism of Mr Gill "double-jobbing." | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Five of the party's seven AMs met this afternoon, but Mr Gill | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
I feel really sorry for the membership of UKIP, | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
who fought really hard to get myself and all these other people | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
elected, and then here we are in silly season, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
in August, and a few people, for their own political aims, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
are basically disgracing UKIP in front of the media of Wales. | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
The Pontypridd MP and Labour leadership candidate Owen Smith has | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
asked the Labour Party to ensure that all of his leadership contest | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
debates with Jeremy Corbyn are broadcast live by the media - | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
This comes after Mr Corbyn pulled out of the Channel 4 News hustings | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
on Monday, which Mr Smith attended alone. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Three nurses who falsified the blood sugar reading of patients have been | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Rebecca Jones, Lauro Bertulano, and Natalie Jones, who worked | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, all pleaded guilty | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the case | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
of a 24-year-old man who is critically ill after being | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
North Wales Police responded to a "domestic | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
The man's being treated in hospital with a serious head injury. | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Passengers left stranded by the collapse of Wrexham-based GHA | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Coaches last month have been told they should get some | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
of their services restored by the end of August. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
But many say there'll be a reduction in the number | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Councillors met with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
and Infrastructure today to discuss the situation. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
If we want the Welsh economy to grow after we leave the European Union, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
more of us need to work where we live. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
That's the message from the Bevan Foundation. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
It says more needs to be done to grow local economies. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Here's our economics correspondent Sarah Dickins. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Four locally owned businesses working together in Crickhowell. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
My husband and I set up this smokery nearly 21 years ago. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Ever since, this family business has bought and sold locally. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
We are using other local suppliers, buying local sausages and smoking | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
them, we are going to the two villages away and having our | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
preserves made, going to a town away and buying crackers. | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
So, absolutely, we are genuinely interacting business | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
Ryan is one of five local employees - the doubles | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Trimming the edges down, then I slice it into a D shape. | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
The busy centre of Crickhowell looks like the perfect postcard, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
but many other Welsh market towns have died as big towns and cities | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
have taken over as places to work and shop. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Many here argue it is by working together that it has survived. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
The argument is that if every adult in this area spend ?5 in these shops | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
every week rather than in chains and supermarkets, it | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
would put ?1.4 million into this local economy. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Here over the hill, it is not as easy as in Crickhowell. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Here, a high proportion of people commute for work and they are | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
more likely to spend money there than here. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
The suggestion from the Bevan Foundation of trying to grow local | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
organisations and businesses is in sharp contrast to policies | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
of building business parks and communities and trying to get | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Doctor Mark Lang has been studying ways of getting money into local | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
communities where traditional industry has gone. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
Poor communities still have people living in them who have skills | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
and passion for the future of their communities. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
It doesn't have to be in wealthy communities that this happens. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
The argument is that if people work in their own communities, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
they will spend more of their wages there, | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
This proposal is an attempt to encourage more jobs | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Football, and Swansea City have rejected a bid from Everton | :07:45. | :07:57. | |
for defender Ashley Williams, who had been linked | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Swansea have already seen three forwards leave this summer | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
The weather - look on the bright side. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
There won't be a hosepipe ban this summer. | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
Hopefully not and probably not in Swansea. They won't be playing | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
cricket or football at Underhill park judging by this photograph. In | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
the last 36 hours over two inches of rain have fallen in Swansea. The | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
wettest one day period in the city of Swansea so far this year. Through | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
tonight we still have some damp and misty weather but that will clear | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
away. Elsewhere looking dry with a couple of showers. Tomorrow morning | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
it will be dry and bright. The cloud lifting with some sunshine. One or | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
two showers. The breeze picking up. Across the rest of the UK we have | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
low pressure close to Northern Ireland and that means stronger | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
winds tomorrow. Gales on some Irish Sea coasts. Some blustery rain in | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
showers in Northern Ireland and purse of northern England. The South | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
and east of England drive with sunny spells. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
dry and bright weather but a few blustery showers as well. Less humid | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
than today but with gusty winds after gale force in the north-west. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
It should be dry in Abergavenny tomorrow. Thursday, less windy with | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
some sunshine. Also a sprinkling of heavy showers in places. Friday | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
should be dry with Ledger winds and into the weekend it may turn damp | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
and humid again on Saturday. From all of us on the | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
programme, goodnight. | :09:54. | :09:57. |
