:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today, tonight's headlines:
:00:00. > :00:00.This gifts company employed a new young member
:00:07. > :00:10.of staff through the Jobs Growth Wales scheme.
:00:11. > :00:13.Now the Welsh Government is to cut the financial support it
:00:14. > :00:25.By going through Jobs Growth Wales it gave me that extra bit of
:00:26. > :00:31.confidence knowing that it was subsidised. That I would be able to
:00:32. > :00:34.Ministers say such a large subsidy is no longer needed
:00:35. > :00:48.because the economy's on the up, and unemployment is down.
:00:49. > :00:52.Reports TATA Steel in Port Talbot
:00:53. > :01:00.Could the improved balance-sheet help save the Steel Industry here?
:01:01. > :01:04.Gerald got an early warning sign from a checkup like this one,
:01:05. > :01:11.we'll hear how they've helped stop more of us dying from heart disease
:01:12. > :01:14.No loading after 8:30, we'll be hearing from some
:01:15. > :01:21.very unhappy businesses in Caernarfon's Town Centre.
:01:22. > :01:26.How best to capitalise on the record medal haul in Rio?
:01:27. > :01:29.While millions have been invested in our top athletes,
:01:30. > :01:40.A sign of confidence in the economy, or cutting costs?
:01:41. > :01:43.The Welsh Government is halving the amount it gives companies
:01:44. > :01:45.for employing young people through its main job creation
:01:46. > :01:48.scheme, because it says the unemployment rate here has
:01:49. > :01:54.Their opponents say the move makes no sense, after a summer
:01:55. > :01:58.of warnings about the economic effects of Brexit.
:01:59. > :02:05.Our political editor Nick Servini reports.
:02:06. > :02:12.It's been the most high-profile scheme in recent years set up by the
:02:13. > :02:17.Welsh government to create jobs after the recession. It's been
:02:18. > :02:22.probably the most successful job creation scheme anywhere in the UK.
:02:23. > :02:27.Jobs Growth Wales gets young people back into work. We don't have it in
:02:28. > :02:32.England. It's an area where we need to learn from the Welsh government.
:02:33. > :02:36.It became a central economic development policy designed to cut
:02:37. > :02:40.youth unemployment. With the overall jobless rate at its lowest in a
:02:41. > :02:45.decade the subsidies being paid to firms to take on 16 to 24-year-olds
:02:46. > :02:50.have been halved. These skills means that, Judi James, says it is time
:02:51. > :02:53.for the private sector to take its share of the risk as recruitment has
:02:54. > :02:57.improved. Beaming smiles from people who took
:02:58. > :03:04.the risk helped by the Government. They've really benefited from the
:03:05. > :03:13.enthusiasm and drive. So we are continuing it, just not at quite the
:03:14. > :03:16.level. A job subsidy deal risks for the private enterprise, and we
:03:17. > :03:27.expect them to meet as halfway on that.
:03:28. > :03:31.So how do companies feel about meeting the Government halfway?
:03:32. > :03:36.Angharad used the scheme in her gift shop in Kevin Arfon. She doesn't
:03:37. > :03:40.share the minister's confidence in the strength of the local economy.
:03:41. > :03:46.I don't know if that is entirely true. It may be true in downtown
:03:47. > :03:51.Cardiff. In a rural area like this there is and many job opportunities.
:03:52. > :03:55.As a rural business owner, definitely, having this kind of
:03:56. > :04:00.scheme, you know, is important. We want them to stay here and work
:04:01. > :04:04.here. If they all go down to Cardiff then they won't be here to work for
:04:05. > :04:10.companies like mine. The decision is in effect a show of
:04:11. > :04:15.confidence in the Welsh economy to create jobs. Interestingly, these
:04:16. > :04:17.skills minister, Julie James, believes the jewellery is out on
:04:18. > :04:23.whether Brexit will harm the economy. It is a noticeably softer
:04:24. > :04:26.tone than some of the warnings we had from those campaigning to remain
:04:27. > :04:31.in the referendum. So what kind of impact will it have?
:04:32. > :04:37.Business groups broadly welcomed Jobs Growth Wales, but the data was
:04:38. > :04:41.mixed. Between 2012 and 2015 the Welsh government said that 15,000
:04:42. > :04:45.jobs were filled. An independent report last month said that in the
:04:46. > :04:51.short-term and 85% of those who took part would have otherwise been out
:04:52. > :04:55.of work. Over the longer term -- 35%. There were no stigma is a
:04:56. > :04:59.complete differences between employment rates of those who took
:05:00. > :05:04.part and those who didn't. -- significant differences. The
:05:05. > :05:07.Government has been accused of sneaking the date out during summer
:05:08. > :05:11.recess and sending a mixed message. One minute they are saying
:05:12. > :05:14.post-Brexit will challenge the economy and then the next breath
:05:15. > :05:17.they say the economy is doing well with jobs being created so we can
:05:18. > :05:23.cut the training budget. We don't know whether this cat from 100% to
:05:24. > :05:28.50% will keep that many within the overall training budget.
:05:29. > :05:33.Will there be other opportunities? Recruitment of young people is not
:05:34. > :05:37.such a problem now. We hope is that it remains that way as Jobs Growth
:05:38. > :05:40.Wales is cut back. So how much of a risk is this for the Welsh
:05:41. > :05:42.government? It's a very bullish decision in the light of the
:05:43. > :05:50.uncertainties that are out there. Remember, this isn't any old job
:05:51. > :05:54.scheme. This was the poster boy of postrecession getting people back
:05:55. > :06:01.into work. It was a high-profile scheme which is why the opposition
:06:02. > :06:05.parties say this is the news has emerged in the summer holidays.
:06:06. > :06:10.The Welsh government aid is not cost related but a reflection of a
:06:11. > :06:15.positive reality. -- the Welsh government say this is not cost
:06:16. > :06:19.related. Speaking to the skills Minister today to thing struck out
:06:20. > :06:23.to me. One is a sense from her that maybe things won't be as bad for the
:06:24. > :06:28.Welsh economy as many had predicted. And also, a sense that the business
:06:29. > :06:33.of government has to go on. Before the impatience of a UK
:06:34. > :06:37.withdrawal are known, and of course, some of these decisions they may get
:06:38. > :06:41.right, they may get wrong. This is the reality. This is the new
:06:42. > :06:42.world that governments and all of us would be living with for the next
:06:43. > :06:44.four years. The Tata Steel Plant
:06:45. > :06:46.in Port Talbot has been threatened with closure for months,
:06:47. > :06:49.but now, there are reports that Union leaders say it's proof
:06:50. > :06:52.that the turnaround plan Tata announced its intention to sell
:06:53. > :06:56.the plant earlier this year, but the sales process
:06:57. > :06:58.is currently on hold. More than 700 jobs have already been
:06:59. > :07:01.cut, but the remaining workers hope the improved balance sheet
:07:02. > :07:19.is a significant step towards saving Earlier this year the Indian
:07:20. > :07:24.industrial giant Tata Steel but British Steel interest up for sale
:07:25. > :07:28.including the UK's largest steelworks in Port Talbot which
:07:29. > :07:33.employs over 4000 people. Cheap Chinese steel and high energy costs
:07:34. > :07:36.were among the reasons to worry Tata Steel was haemorrhaging money. Now
:07:37. > :07:41.it seems the loss-making operation isn't losing so much anymore.
:07:42. > :07:46.Unconfirmed reports say they make a profit of ?500 million in June.
:07:47. > :07:50.In a statement Tata Steel said they don't disclose financial results
:07:51. > :07:53.beyond normal public reporting. They said the management team and
:07:54. > :07:58.employees were continuing to work hard to improve the underlying
:07:59. > :08:02.performance of the UK business. However, sources close to this
:08:03. > :08:08.business told me that this plant made a quarterly profit of ?12
:08:09. > :08:13.million. We heard reports of ?5 million, ?12
:08:14. > :08:16.million, are those the kind of figures you are hearing?
:08:17. > :08:21.Those are the kind of figures that have been reported that the works. I
:08:22. > :08:25.think the important thing is the fact we have seems to turn a corner.
:08:26. > :08:29.We are making a profit. We are holding in the right
:08:30. > :08:33.direction. The fact that we've got rid of 700 plus jobs, that is going
:08:34. > :08:38.to kick in. We are still feeling the effects of that. It is a painful
:08:39. > :08:40.time for people. We are taking on more responsibility and the
:08:41. > :08:44.workforce are stepping up all the time.
:08:45. > :08:47.That's one of the major reasons. Industry experts say these profits
:08:48. > :08:51.are not enough to secure the long-term future of Port Talbot.
:08:52. > :08:55.It's good news, but we still have challenging times ahead, I think.
:08:56. > :08:57.The steel industry is extremely volatile and we still don't
:08:58. > :09:04.understand the implications of Brexit. That has consequences for
:09:05. > :09:09.the industry not just in the UK, but across Europe.
:09:10. > :09:12.The sale of Tata Steel's Welsh operations is currently on hold.
:09:13. > :09:17.They have entered negotiations with the German firm over a merger. The
:09:18. > :09:21.local MP says the workforce have done everything asked of them.
:09:22. > :09:27.There's been some real improvement in efficiency. Real improvements,
:09:28. > :09:30.breaking all production records, and so every single steelworker in that
:09:31. > :09:34.plan should be given themselves a part on the back today. They are
:09:35. > :09:39.helping to turn the business around. Of course, there's still room for
:09:40. > :09:43.improvement, of course, the 5 million a month, if that is the
:09:44. > :09:48.correct figure, is not where you'd want to be in the long term.
:09:49. > :09:51.Despite the move into profit there is still uncertainty for workers in
:09:52. > :09:54.poor target. They are confident that their hard work is beginning to pay
:09:55. > :09:57.A 23-year-old man has appeared in court charged
:09:58. > :09:59.with the murder of his girlfriend in Cardiff last week.
:10:00. > :10:01.Jordan Matthews was arrested after police were called
:10:02. > :10:04.to the house he shared with Xi-Xi Bi on Ely Road in Llandaff
:10:05. > :10:09.Ms Bi's family who live in China, have been told of her death.
:10:10. > :10:11.Also in Cardiff, a 22-year-old woman has died after the BMW
:10:12. > :10:14.she was driving crashed into a block of flats in the early
:10:15. > :10:18.The passenger, a 21-year-old man, is in hospital with serious
:10:19. > :10:21.injuries after the collision in the Adamsdown area of the city.
:10:22. > :10:33.Four people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
:10:34. > :10:37.Coronary Heart Disease is Wales' single biggest killer.
:10:38. > :10:39.Cardiovascular diseases, which also include stroke and heart failure,
:10:40. > :10:42.account for one in four deaths in Wales, that's around
:10:43. > :10:48.But according to an annual report by the Welsh Government,
:10:49. > :10:51.the number of deaths from heart disease has fallen by a quarter
:10:52. > :10:57.Just over 12,000 people died from cardiovascular disease in 2005.
:10:58. > :11:00.By 2014, this had fallen to just over 8,800.
:11:01. > :11:19.Keeping Apple with the beat at a leisure centre in Torfaen. More of
:11:20. > :11:23.us are exercising, few are smoking or drinking heavily. But one in
:11:24. > :11:28.three people in Wales still don't exercise for at least half an hour a
:11:29. > :11:32.week. That's one way to improve your health, to take more exercise. But
:11:33. > :11:36.for people who don't come to places like this very often the NHS has
:11:37. > :11:41.started sending out letters inviting them to come for a checkup. The idea
:11:42. > :11:45.is if we make small changes now we can avoid heart disease and related
:11:46. > :11:51.problems in future. At the moment we are concentrating
:11:52. > :11:54.on less affluent parts of Wales. This is the liberal with greater
:11:55. > :12:03.numbers of people suffer from heart disease. Gerald got a letter because
:12:04. > :12:07.he is aged between 40 and 75. He is a recently retired HGV driver from
:12:08. > :12:11.the Rhondda. He realised he had developed very high blood pressure.
:12:12. > :12:17.Before then he had always passed medical that work.
:12:18. > :12:22.I felt really good. You shouldn't just take it for granted that you
:12:23. > :12:26.are healthy. Outside you may look healthy, and inside your not.
:12:27. > :12:30.It is seems like there's that the Welsh government say are helping to
:12:31. > :12:33.reduce the number of people dying from heart problems. Gerald lost a
:12:34. > :12:39.stone in weight moving his results into the green.
:12:40. > :12:44.A lot of it is lifestyle, but not only that, the information you get
:12:45. > :12:49.is about what you can access in your community. We look at other factors,
:12:50. > :12:56.that could be useful for patients, finance.
:12:57. > :13:01.Today's Welsh government report suggests 121,000 people living with
:13:02. > :13:06.heart disease in Wales. That means 3.8% of the population here. That's
:13:07. > :13:09.better than Scotland were over 4% suffer from the condition, but not
:13:10. > :13:14.as good as England with the figure is 3.2%.
:13:15. > :13:18.Coronary heart disease is Wales's single biggest killer. We need more
:13:19. > :13:24.research into treatments translating into better services for people.
:13:25. > :13:28.Staying active is still part of the main message, if serious heart
:13:29. > :13:32.problems developed a wait for something like bypass surgery can
:13:33. > :13:34.take longer in Wales than in England. Prevention, better than
:13:35. > :13:39.There's still a lot more to come on the programme before 7pm.We'll be
:13:40. > :13:41.hearing how a Welsh Charity is now protecting 2 million hectares
:13:42. > :13:43.of the Amazon rainforest, that's roughly the size of Wales.
:13:44. > :13:46.And they're hoping grace the Olympics stage one day.
:13:47. > :13:49.Tonight, how best to capitalise on the successes in Rio,
:13:50. > :13:57.and should more be spent on grassroots sport?
:13:58. > :14:08.Now, changes to parking rules in Carnarfon's Castle Square,
:14:09. > :14:11.which is known locally as the Maes, could threaten businesses there -
:14:12. > :14:13.that's according to some of the town's traders.
:14:14. > :14:15.Gwynedd Council wants to restrict deliveries to shops,
:14:16. > :14:17.pubs and cafes to early mornings and the evenings.
:14:18. > :14:22.But is the real problem the confusion, about what is
:14:23. > :14:31.All of the fun of the fair on Caernarfon Maes today.
:14:32. > :14:34.We have to presume these rights have permits to be there.
:14:35. > :14:39.And in the centre of the square in delivery lorry, this
:14:40. > :14:42.is just the sort of thing the council wants to stop.
:14:43. > :14:47.Restricting deliveries to before 8:30am until after 7pm.
:14:48. > :14:53.On one side of the Maes is pub landlord Hefin Roberts.
:14:54. > :14:56.It's a no no because a lot of the businesses don't
:14:57. > :15:21.It means that we are incurring more costs with the delivery firms having
:15:22. > :15:29.That means there's a cost for us as well.
:15:30. > :15:34.Gwynedd Council says it is simply trying to bring some clarity.
:15:35. > :15:39.Three years ago the signs up making Maes weekly away.
:15:40. > :15:43.No parking should be allowed, for deliveries or otherwise.
:15:44. > :15:47.Drivers have been getting away with it, it seems.
:15:48. > :15:49.I have to admit to being confused by traffic reductions
:15:50. > :15:56.I know it's supposed to be no parking here, yet there are no road
:15:57. > :16:00.Vehicles always seem to be parked up.
:16:01. > :16:02.Taxi drivers who, along with blue badge holders,
:16:03. > :16:05.can stop here save your constantly being asked about the dos
:16:06. > :16:12.What tends to happen is you get one person parking here and somebody
:16:13. > :16:24.But people don't look up and see the sign.
:16:25. > :16:26.They just think it's a clear way beyond.
:16:27. > :16:30.They should be some clear sign, no parking whatsoever.
:16:31. > :16:33.The council is now consulting on its plan, it is an attempt
:16:34. > :16:36.to bring greater flexibility, it says.
:16:37. > :16:41.On the Maes today, few seem to agree with that.
:16:42. > :16:43.After an extraordinary Olympics for Team GB,
:16:44. > :16:46.attention is now turning towards the games' legacy,
:16:47. > :16:48.and how the athletes and their medals can inspire
:16:49. > :16:52.the next generation of sporting talent.
:16:53. > :16:54.Welsh athletes won ten medals,a total celebrated by sports
:16:55. > :16:59.Tomos Dafydd is at the Welsh Institute of Sport
:17:00. > :17:07.Meet some of our potential medallist of the future, the aim here-
:17:08. > :17:19.emulate the likes of Victoria Thornley,
:17:20. > :17:25.this is the Wales gymnastic Commonwealth Games squad. Tonight
:17:26. > :17:30.there are concerns surrounding grass roots sport. One Labour AM says that
:17:31. > :17:34.scarce public resources should be spent on getting people more active
:17:35. > :17:41.and are not invested in a few elite athletes.
:17:42. > :17:48.They are the Welsh sporting stars who broke records in real. They won
:17:49. > :17:52.ten medals for Team GB. More than ever before. Each and
:17:53. > :17:56.every athlete who got those medals has worked extremely hard. Their
:17:57. > :18:00.commitment is outstanding and their delivery when it really matters is a
:18:01. > :18:08.testament to themselves as individuals.
:18:09. > :18:12.Each of Britain's 67 medals cost the equivalent of ?4 million. But
:18:13. > :18:17.tonight, claims that medal success masks the growing crisis in sports
:18:18. > :18:20.at a grassroots level. While millions of pounds is spent on
:18:21. > :18:24.athletes there is concern that cuts to council budgets have brought
:18:25. > :18:30.local clubs to the brink. It is terrific that we are top of
:18:31. > :18:34.the table, but we are also top of the league table for childhood
:18:35. > :18:37.obesity in Europe. A quarter of all Welsh adults. Our whole approach is
:18:38. > :18:41.to talk about who's brought. Sport is not going to reach people
:18:42. > :18:46.who currently take no physical activity at all.
:18:47. > :18:51.The Welsh Labour government cut the budget to local authorities by 2%,
:18:52. > :18:55.this is a bit rich, isn't it? We are any period of austerity.
:18:56. > :19:01.Funding from Westminster has been cut. The local councils have little
:19:02. > :19:08.choice but to cuts where they can. There weren't any athlete in Team
:19:09. > :19:14.GB's gold-medal winning hockey team. For these teenagers, Wales's and 16
:19:15. > :19:19.and 18 side could change that by Tokyo 2020. Sport Wales says it
:19:20. > :19:22.invests ?20 million a year in community sport, three times that
:19:23. > :19:27.invested in elite sport. There is a very fine balance. You
:19:28. > :19:31.have two invest in talented athletes. You have to give them the
:19:32. > :19:36.support and funding in order for them to be successful. They will
:19:37. > :19:41.then future generations because you won't necessarily get the uptake and
:19:42. > :19:48.the interest, and the excitement if they can't see their heroes or doing
:19:49. > :19:52.it successfully or doing it well. Claims are made about how Olympic
:19:53. > :19:57.success can change people's lifestyles. The debate over how best
:19:58. > :19:58.to spend money will only intensify as budgets are squeezed even
:19:59. > :20:08.further. I'm joined now by Sara Powell were
:20:09. > :20:11.from sports Wales. Has really got a point?
:20:12. > :20:16.We invest 30 million per year, 24 million of that is in community
:20:17. > :20:21.sport 6,000,002 elite sport. One of the big legacies we saw after 2012
:20:22. > :20:25.and 2016 is an increase in participation in adults and your
:20:26. > :20:29.people. Vitally important for us is the foundation of community sport.
:20:30. > :20:34.We've seen an increase in sports like gymnastics, cycling and
:20:35. > :20:38.swimming. That is a priority for us. If we are going to do that we need a
:20:39. > :20:43.different approach in Wales. We need to look at it from education, School
:20:44. > :20:46.sport experience needs to be one of the best young children get. We need
:20:47. > :20:50.local authorities to provide the best facilities. We are going to
:20:51. > :20:54.need to talk about prevention and education around how we take forward
:20:55. > :20:59.physical activity. Let's talk about our medallists, ten
:21:00. > :21:03.from Wales. How much credit do you take for their development?
:21:04. > :21:07.How does it work during with? It is a team Wales approach. We work as an
