:00:00. > :00:00.Amina Al-Jeffrey from Swansea claimed her father kept her locked

:00:07. > :00:15.A UK court rules she's in peril and must be returned to Britain.

:00:16. > :00:18.Three years on from the horse meat scandal, why Wales' food industry

:00:19. > :00:25.And first day at work for 300 junior doctors.

:00:26. > :00:28.Tonight, why Wales could be doing more to recruit

:00:29. > :00:49.In peril and requiring rescuing - that's how a judge has

:00:50. > :00:54.described Amina Al-Jeffrey, who he says must be brought back

:00:55. > :00:57.to Wales from her father's home in Saudi Arabia.

:00:58. > :01:01.The 21-year-old from Swansea has claimed she's been mistreated,

:01:02. > :01:05.and the High Court heard she had been effectively "caged"

:01:06. > :01:09.with restrictions to where she could go and what she could do.

:01:10. > :01:16.A photo sent to friends, a metal mesh in the background.

:01:17. > :01:20.A 21-year-old with dual nationality, British and Saudi Arabian.

:01:21. > :01:24.A young woman who says she is being held against her will.

:01:25. > :01:27.Amina Al-Jeffery went to Olchfa School in Swansea until she was 16.

:01:28. > :01:30.Then, in 2012, her father took her to the city

:01:31. > :01:35.He claimed it was to save her life, to stop her going clubbing

:01:36. > :01:40.In the past year, she managed to get in contact again, pleading to leave

:01:41. > :01:43.Saudi Arabia, claiming she was being deprived of food

:01:44. > :01:47.Her father admitted keeping her in his apartment

:01:48. > :01:50.for her own safety, last week, but denied the other accusations.

:01:51. > :01:57.The dispute was brought before the High Court here in London.

:01:58. > :01:59.Miss Al-Jeffrey's lawyers argued on her behalf

:02:00. > :02:04.that she was in dire need of protection from our legal system.

:02:05. > :02:06.The judge initially felt that he didn't have a lot

:02:07. > :02:09.of power over what goes on in the Middle East.

:02:10. > :02:12.He eventually decided he had to intervene.

:02:13. > :02:40.My only concern is that I don't know if Amina even knows that this

:02:41. > :02:46.What I would really like to do is speak to her and tell her

:02:47. > :02:51.and what he has ordered to happen to her.

:02:52. > :02:54.The Foreign Office have tonight said they will continue to raise the case

:02:55. > :02:57.The Henna Foundation, a charity which

:02:58. > :03:00.supports marginalised sections of the Muslim community, says it is

:03:01. > :03:05.important that things are now done sensitively.

:03:06. > :03:09.I think it might be a bit more complex than just picking up

:03:10. > :03:10.the phone are having a conversation about

:03:11. > :03:15.I think it requires a great level of diplomacy and tact.

:03:16. > :03:17.Ultimately, we want Amina to be kept safe and for her to

:03:18. > :03:20.So it might require some negotiation, some conversations

:03:21. > :03:25.behind closed doors, to enable her return.

:03:26. > :03:28.For three hours here today, the judge slowly, cautiously,

:03:29. > :03:34.Because Amina is both a Saudi and British citizen,

:03:35. > :03:38.if citizenship in the UK is to mean anything, it should mean

:03:39. > :03:41.help and protection from your own country.

:03:42. > :03:44.In issuing this High Court order, he told Amina's father

:03:45. > :03:48.to bring her back to the UK by 11 September.

:03:49. > :03:53.Paul Heaney, BBC Wales Today, the High Court in London.

:03:54. > :03:56.A group of Ukip branch chairs have written a letter to the party's

:03:57. > :03:58.ruling committee asking them to "retract their threat"

:03:59. > :04:04.Earlier this week, Ukip's National Executive Committee

:04:05. > :04:07.voted to remove Nathan Gill from the party,

:04:08. > :04:11.unless he resigns from one of his two elected positions.

:04:12. > :04:16.But the 12 signatories say Mr Gill - who is an MEP as well as an AM -

:04:17. > :04:21."remains extremely popular" with most Ukip Wales members.

:04:22. > :04:25.The body which represents Welsh councils has defended the help

:04:26. > :04:28.local authorities here have given to Syrian refugees,

:04:29. > :04:32.after a committee of MPs said many aren't doing enough.

:04:33. > :04:35.The Home Affairs Select Committee found five of the 22 Welsh councils

:04:36. > :04:39.had taken a total of 78 refugees by March.

:04:40. > :04:41.But the Welsh Local Government Association says

:04:42. > :04:45.around 100 more have been settled here since

:04:46. > :04:52.The number of British visitors making overnight trips to Wales fell

:04:53. > :04:55.slightly in the 12 months to April, according to

:04:56. > :05:01.That's compared to a 3.8% increase in visits across Britain.

:05:02. > :05:04.But the amount of money visitors spent in Wales went up

:05:05. > :05:10.The Welsh Government says the increase in expenditure shows

:05:11. > :05:15.tourism in Wales is "performing strongly".

:05:16. > :05:19.Three years on from the horsemeat scandal, Wales' food and drink

:05:20. > :05:23.industry still faces a "real threat" of exploitation by criminals.

:05:24. > :05:27.That's the warning from the head of the National Food Crime Unit,

:05:28. > :05:30.who's told Wales Today that the sector here is vulnerable

:05:31. > :05:32.to fraudsters who are looking to short change consumers

:05:33. > :05:40.Carwyn Jones has this exclusive report.

:05:41. > :05:43.Horse meat used as a substitute for beef and widely

:05:44. > :05:46.sold across the UK - three years ago we realised

:05:47. > :05:52.we weren't always getting what we paid for.

:05:53. > :05:53.In the wake of the horse meat scandal,

:05:54. > :05:55.the National Food Crime Unit was launched,

:05:56. > :05:57.to investigate fraud within the food industry.

:05:58. > :05:59.The head of the orgainsation has told Wales Today

:06:00. > :06:02.that the scale of criminality is still significant.

:06:03. > :06:05.There will always be criminals who will want to exploit whatever

:06:06. > :06:10.We are talking about, in Wales, a 5 billion plus

:06:11. > :06:16.industry in terms of its turnover, employing some 250,000

:06:17. > :06:22.But where there are large profits, there is also the

:06:23. > :06:25.possibility of making money criminally.

:06:26. > :06:29.I think if we don't deal with this over the next two or three

:06:30. > :06:32.years and it on top of it, then organised crime could become

:06:33. > :06:37.There is substitution - for example, replacing lamb

:06:38. > :06:42.Diversion - when animal waste is used in products

:06:43. > :06:48.Misrepresentation - selling Argentinian meat as Welsh beef.

:06:49. > :06:50.And adulteration - for example, adding

:06:51. > :06:53.methanol to vodka to increase volumes.

:06:54. > :06:57.Earlier this year, Trading Standards took 100 samples of food

:06:58. > :07:00.from takeways, retaillers and manufacturers

:07:01. > :07:06.The results are in and the findings are stark.

:07:07. > :07:09.There was an issue with nearly half of the samples found.

:07:10. > :07:11.Either some problems with the labelling itself,

:07:12. > :07:15.so not saying something on the label, but also sometimes

:07:16. > :07:20.finding things in the food that should not have been in there.

:07:21. > :07:22.Food crime doesn't just mean consumers are getting ripped off.

:07:23. > :07:26.It can also distort the market and undermine legitmate businesses -

:07:27. > :07:34.Talgarth Bakery supplies 150 food outlets with pies and pasties.

:07:35. > :07:37.It's a business built on consumer trust.

:07:38. > :07:41.It is key to us that everybody else basically comes in line, really,

:07:42. > :07:44.because it is encouraging that anything you buy from a customer's

:07:45. > :07:49.And that they could have the confidence in that

:07:50. > :07:52.what they're buying, they know where it is coming from.

:07:53. > :07:55.The National Food Crime Unit says food fraud could cost the UK economy

:07:56. > :08:00.The challenge is making sure the food we eat

:08:01. > :08:08.Wales could be doing more to recruit and retain junior doctors -

:08:09. > :08:10.that's according to the Medical Director of

:08:11. > :08:13.Cardiff Vale University Health Board, who believes Wales has

:08:14. > :08:19.Latest figures show there are more than 300 unfilled trainee

:08:20. > :08:23.But in Cardiff today, hundreds of junior doctors started

:08:24. > :08:25.work at the University Hospital of Wales.

:08:26. > :08:29.Nicola Smith went to find out what brought them here.

:08:30. > :08:30.Let's go into the treatment room here.

:08:31. > :08:34.This is where the children have their blood...

:08:35. > :08:37.It is Matthew Jones' first day in the paediatric unit

:08:38. > :08:40.at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, and he is getting a tour

:08:41. > :08:47.He has worked in Wales and England but has chosen

:08:48. > :08:53.I graduated from Cardiff University and I thought I would come back

:08:54. > :08:56.to the hospital that I know reasonably well.

:08:57. > :09:02.It is certainly somewhere where you can learn an awful lot

:09:03. > :09:06.of medicine or surgery, and it is a lovely city to live in.

:09:07. > :09:08.For all those reasons, Cardiff Vale University

:09:09. > :09:12.Health Board has very few problems with recruitment and retention

:09:13. > :09:16.But elsewhere, the picture is rather different.

:09:17. > :09:19.Figures provided by the Wales Deanery last month

:09:20. > :09:23.almost a quarter of posts were unfilled in the health boards

:09:24. > :09:27.that cover both West and North Wales.

:09:28. > :09:29.The medical director here says, at its simplest,

:09:30. > :09:33.it is about selling Wales to the rest of the UK and beyond.

:09:34. > :09:38.I think that my perspective is that I think we should be pushing

:09:39. > :09:41.very hard what Wales can offer, because I do believe it has

:09:42. > :09:45.We have a lot to offer here in Cardiff, as do my other

:09:46. > :09:48.medical director colleagues in other UHBs across the rest of Wales.

:09:49. > :09:54.He is from Shanghai and told me there are several things

:09:55. > :10:00.Firstly, my seniors told me Cardiff and Wales in general has got

:10:01. > :10:03.a really good teaching programme for junior doctors.

:10:04. > :10:06.Everyone is nice and supportive and you learn a lot here.

:10:07. > :10:09.Secondly, at the time, the junior doctor contract

:10:10. > :10:14.was a concern for doctors in England, so I think that is a big

:10:15. > :10:17.reason for why many of us chose Wales this year.

:10:18. > :10:21.And thirdly, I was feeling quite adventurous myself.

:10:22. > :10:24.I had never been to Cardiff, I'd never been to Wales,

:10:25. > :10:29.A total of 315 junior doctors like these two have started

:10:30. > :10:34.They will have chosen Wales for a variety of reasons -

:10:35. > :10:39.what is clear is the desire and the need to keep them.

:10:40. > :10:41.The Welsh Language Commissioner has complained to the BBC

:10:42. > :10:45.following a tweet sent by a researcher, which asked

:10:46. > :10:47.a contributor to appear on Radio 5 live to talk about

:10:48. > :10:54.The station has apologised and said it was

:10:55. > :10:57.for a "broad discussion about non-English languages".

:10:58. > :11:02.Meri Huws said the message was verging on racism.

:11:03. > :11:05.Asking those types of questions, I think, about a language

:11:06. > :11:08.which is a language which is alive, which is our language,

:11:09. > :11:11.one of our languages here in Wales, is not appropriate.

:11:12. > :11:15.In other contexts, it would definitely be considered racist.

:11:16. > :11:17.A family from Monmouth say they're "living the dream" after winning

:11:18. > :11:22.more than ?61 million on the EuroMillions Lottery.

:11:23. > :11:24.The Davies scooped the prize by matching all seven numbers

:11:25. > :11:29.Sonia Davies rang her daughter from the US and asked her to buy

:11:30. > :11:34.a ticket after having life-saving cancer surgery.

:11:35. > :11:43.Derek's winning numbers now - here's tonight's weather.

:11:44. > :11:51.Forget ?61 million, I just want some summer weather. It was like them

:11:52. > :11:57.today, with strong to gale force winds, costs at 50-60 mph. Still

:11:58. > :12:01.blustery but the wind will gradually ease with a mixture of clear

:12:02. > :12:06.intervals and showers. Temperatures in the mid-teens. The morning

:12:07. > :12:11.tomorrow, less windy. Showers around and heavy in places but some dry

:12:12. > :12:15.weather and sunshine also. The low pressure which brought today strong

:12:16. > :12:19.winds will be over the North Sea close to Norway tomorrow, so the

:12:20. > :12:23.wind will be lighter. A mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers

:12:24. > :12:30.across the UK tomorrow. Some showers happy with a rumble of thunder.

:12:31. > :12:34.Cooler and fresher than today. Still up to 22 Celsius in London. Closer

:12:35. > :12:41.to home, ate few showers. Still some heavy showers but if lucky you will

:12:42. > :12:48.stay dry. Some blue sky and sunshine mixed in. 17-20dC with lighter

:12:49. > :12:53.winds. In Aber again -- in Abergavenny, most of the day dry

:12:54. > :12:57.with some sunshine but a shower possible. Evenly showers will fade

:12:58. > :13:04.away tomorrow later and the windfalls, and it cools down to nine

:13:05. > :13:08.Celsius in Powys. One or two showers on Friday and sunny spells and

:13:09. > :13:13.lighter winds feeling a little warmer. For the weekend, some

:13:14. > :13:17.sunshine on offer but is not completely dry, turning down and

:13:18. > :13:21.misty for a while. In other words, a mixed bag.

:13:22. > :13:26.From all of us on the programme, goodnight.
