:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight - hopes the new Hinkley nuclear plant in Somerset can
:00:07. > :00:07.boost the beleaguered Welsh steel industry.
:00:08. > :00:09.This is an opportunity not just for Welsh steel -
:00:10. > :00:11.but for our construction and engineering firms too.
:00:12. > :00:19.But do we have enough skilled workers to win all that work?
:00:20. > :00:22.We have been expecting this work for quite a while so we have been
:00:23. > :00:26.gearing up but I have to say that we do also have a skills gap
:00:27. > :00:40.Helen Thompson needed a car to take her autistic son to college.
:00:41. > :00:46.The previous owner had borrowed against it.
:00:47. > :00:49.The call for a change in the law on so-called logbook loans.

:00:53. > :00:58.big figures in the party in Wales are split on who should take over.
:00:59. > :01:01.Welsh football is on a high after success at the Euros.
:01:02. > :01:04.Now talk of a Great Britain football team playing at the next Olympics
:01:05. > :01:27.It's been billed as a good opportunity for the Welsh economy,
:01:28. > :01:30.but there are concerns tonight that the new nuclear power plant
:01:31. > :01:32.in Somerset will take the most specialist workers away from Wales.
:01:33. > :01:35.The Prime Minister gave the ?18 billion Hinkley C project
:01:36. > :01:38.Overlooking the Bristol channel, it's just 14 and a half
:01:39. > :01:42.Welsh firms are already lined up to provide 200,000 tonnes of steel,
:01:43. > :01:44.worth ?100 million, to build the plant.
:01:45. > :01:47.There are up to 26,000 jobs on offer, but there are concerns
:01:48. > :01:52.that Welsh people taking some of those roles will leave businesses
:01:53. > :02:15.Our economics correspondent Sarah Dickins is in Port Talbot.
:02:16. > :02:22.And so many times when we are here at Port Talbot in the shadow of the
:02:23. > :02:26.steelworks, we are talking about bad news, the fragility of the sector,
:02:27. > :02:29.but today it is more about opportunities, the opportunities for
:02:30. > :02:34.steel. Not however for Tata Steel, the plant here and be hotrolled coil
:02:35. > :02:36.that it makes but through the steel industry is that we have in Wales
:02:37. > :02:41.that actually supply the construction industry with
:02:42. > :02:45.reinforced steel that will be so much needed for Hinkley point. There
:02:46. > :02:50.are other opportunities to because around Port Talbot over the decades
:02:51. > :02:54.many metal fabrication businesses have set up and there could be
:02:55. > :02:57.opportunities for them to perhaps do some self-assembly work year and
:02:58. > :03:03.then supply across the water to Hinkley point. Across the water, a
:03:04. > :03:08.different country, a different economy, the challenge for Wales is
:03:09. > :03:14.to grab the opportunities that lie with his ?18 billion and adjustment.
:03:15. > :03:18.If Wales can win business building the first nuclear power plant for 30
:03:19. > :03:23.years, it could help the Welsh economy for the long-term. After a
:03:24. > :03:30.more of that after more of a year than... This time he focuses on Tata
:03:31. > :03:35.Steel, but instead on salsa in Cardiff. It makes the steel that is
:03:36. > :03:42.used for reinforcing concrete and it makes it from scratch steel that has
:03:43. > :03:45.brought here on massive lorries. Already, 200,000 tonnes of that
:03:46. > :03:51.reinforced recycled steel has been ordered for the Hinkley project.
:03:52. > :03:53.Steel from here will go to express reinforcements in Neath. It is
:03:54. > :03:59.already involved in the Crossrail project in London and will be
:04:00. > :04:03.supplying Hinkley C, just one Welsh company already talking to those
:04:04. > :04:07.running the nuclear project. We have been expecting this work for some
:04:08. > :04:13.time so we have been gearing up but I have to say that we do also have a
:04:14. > :04:17.skills gap of mammoth proportions. We lost 400,000 people in the
:04:18. > :04:21.construction industry in the last recession and they haven't come
:04:22. > :04:26.back. And also our training needs to be moved up quite a few gears so we
:04:27. > :04:30.need lots of Welsh Government help to do that. On the ground, there is
:04:31. > :04:34.a real fear that the skills gap will only get bigger and that the most
:04:35. > :04:38.specialist workers will be tempted to work on Hinkley C, pushing
:04:39. > :04:44.smaller firms to the bottom of the food chain. I believe we will
:04:45. > :04:46.struggle with subcontractors, addresses, plumbers, bricklayers,
:04:47. > :04:54.Hinkley will be offering a higher salary than what Wales are paying.
:04:55. > :04:58.And we already have a shortage and Hinkley will be taking those people
:04:59. > :05:03.away from us, making it worse in Wales. But today the first ministers
:05:04. > :05:07.pledged ?16.5 million towards developing skills across North Wales
:05:08. > :05:10.as they prepare for a new nuclear reactor at Wylfa Power Station. He
:05:11. > :05:13.is confident we can seize the opportunities from the Hinkley
:05:14. > :05:16.project. We know that we have the businesses in Wales that can offer
:05:17. > :05:21.jobs to people with the right skills so we're not looking at a brain
:05:22. > :05:25.drain. What we are looking at is an opportunity for businesses in Wales
:05:26. > :05:29.to act as suppliers and contractors potentially for Hinkley and that is
:05:30. > :05:32.a bit we want to explore. What is undeniable is that Hinkley C will
:05:33. > :05:36.have a clear impact on the economy of South Wales in a number of Wales.
:05:37. > :05:43.But with wealth and know it on the drawing board, expertise learned
:05:44. > :05:48.working on Hinkley but help Welsh firms winning projects and is the
:05:49. > :05:52.whole of the Welsh economy. Ken Skates has said that the project
:05:53. > :05:56.must use UK steel. He has also said that Welsh manufacturing must be
:05:57. > :06:00.involved. You could say that the genes of a politician but he might
:06:01. > :06:03.actually be knocking on an open door because EDF, the French company
:06:04. > :06:07.behind the project, they will be running the project in effect, they
:06:08. > :06:13.have a buy local policy, if you like. Now, North Devon and North
:06:14. > :06:17.Somerset doesn't have much of a steel industry. We have much more of
:06:18. > :06:23.one year round so we could well be in a good place, a good position, to
:06:24. > :06:27.supply into that. There are big opportunities focused action, for
:06:28. > :06:30.engineering and for steel for Wales but the companies in Wales will
:06:31. > :06:33.really have to fight to get any bit of the action.
:06:34. > :06:36.The trial of a former senior police officer accused of the historical
:06:37. > :06:39.sexual abuse of two boys has heard one of them describe being passed
:06:40. > :06:42.Gordon Anglesea denies three charges of indecent assault and another
:06:43. > :06:46.The jury at Mold Crown Court heard a police interview with one

:06:55. > :06:57.Now aged 78, he was a police inspector based
:06:58. > :07:05.The prosecution say that during that time, he abused two teenagers,
:07:06. > :07:07.one of them now in his 40s was interviewed by police

:07:16. > :07:18.The head of the organisation was John Allen, jailed in 2014
:07:19. > :07:23.The witness claims he was taken by John Allen to different locations
:07:24. > :07:26.to be abused by others over a period of months.
:07:27. > :07:30.During the interview, the witness said he was taken
:07:31. > :07:33.to a property in Mold in Flintshire, where he was indecently
:07:34. > :07:38.But he had a birthmark on his face and glasses.
:07:39. > :07:40.He was a really nasty, horrible piece of work.
:07:41. > :07:44.I think he was something to do with the police.
:07:45. > :07:46.That, the prosecution say, was Gordon Anglesea.
:07:47. > :07:48.The witness then said that the man threatened him, saying he had
:07:49. > :07:51.the authority to send him far, far away and he would never
:07:52. > :07:55.Asked how he knew the man was something to do with the police,
:07:56. > :08:01.The trial is adjourned for the week and will resume on Monday
:08:02. > :08:03.with the witness facing cross-examination by the defence.
:08:04. > :08:05.Gordon Anglesea denies two indecent assault charges and committing
:08:06. > :08:08.a serious sexual offence against one complainant and an indecent assault

:08:22. > :08:22.into north east Wales has been jailed.
:08:23. > :08:24.Mold Crown Court heard the gang brought class-A drugs
:08:25. > :08:26.into Flintshire for distribution on the streets.

:08:44. > :08:45.and three new ones created, with the commissioning
:08:46. > :08:47.of TV, radio and online content brought together.
:08:48. > :08:49.The changes come against the background of the BBC's
:08:50. > :09:00."cash-flat" licence fee agreement, set in 2015.
:09:01. > :09:03.Obviously, we have a flat licence fee, which means that in real terms,
:09:04. > :09:06.we will need to find savings of about 2% every year
:09:07. > :09:10.So a number of changes will need to be made there.
:09:11. > :09:13.The new broadcast centre in Central Square in Cardiff city
:09:14. > :09:15.centre will make a big contribution to those savings,
:09:16. > :09:18.The second thing I announced, a number of management changes,
:09:19. > :09:27.A reward of up to ?5,000 is being offered for information
:09:28. > :09:30.about an arson attack on a school in Torfaen.

:09:47. > :09:48.in the law in relation to so-called "logbook-loans".
:09:49. > :09:50.Helen Thompson from Ystalyfera bought a second-hand car last year,
:09:51. > :09:52.but weeks later a finance company tried to re-possess it.
:09:53. > :09:55.The previous owner had taken out a loan secured on the vehicle
:09:56. > :09:59.The Law Commission says new legislation is needed to make
:10:00. > :10:08.It's the biggest purchase most of us make after our home.
:10:09. > :10:15.Our cars can be worth hundreds, thousands, even tens
:10:16. > :10:22.And when hard times hit, it can be a valuable financial asset.
:10:23. > :10:24.Now some specialist companies are offering to lend you money
:10:25. > :10:28.There are a whole host of companies on the Internet offering
:10:29. > :10:30.to lend you cash against the value of your car.
:10:31. > :10:39.But they are only intended as a short-term loans and have
:10:40. > :10:41.Now some unscrupulous motorists have been taking
:10:42. > :10:45.the cash and selling the car on without settling the debt.
:10:46. > :10:47.And that is having devastating consequences for the new owner.
:10:48. > :10:50.Helen Thomson needed a cheap car to take her autistic son to college.
:10:51. > :10:53.But the Golf she bought for ?1200 has cost her dear.
:10:54. > :10:56.The man she bought it from had borrowed ?500 against it but hadn't
:10:57. > :11:02.made the repayments before selling it on.
:11:03. > :11:05.I bought the car in June, then I received a letter saying
:11:06. > :11:09.that they were coming to get the car because it had a logbook loan on it.
:11:10. > :11:13.And I contacted them saying that I didn't have the loan on the car.
:11:14. > :11:15.And it went on for weeks and weeks and weeks.
:11:16. > :11:17.He came at the door then, another one.
:11:18. > :11:21.So I pulled the wheels off and I put it on the drive.
:11:22. > :11:24.Now it is sitting there and I can't do nothing with it.
:11:25. > :11:27.And I've had to purchase this one now.
:11:28. > :11:39.Helen has had to borrow from family for an alternative car
:11:40. > :11:44.Citizens Advice say at least 100 people have been caught out like
:11:45. > :11:49.The Law Commission say new legislation is needed.
:11:50. > :11:52.We're going to change the law so that people in Helen's position,
:11:53. > :11:54.they will be the owners of the vehicle.
:11:55. > :11:57.The lender can't come and repossess the vehicle any more.
:11:58. > :12:01.What the lender will then have to do is proceed to sue the borrower.
:12:02. > :12:03.Helen's battle with the finance company has now lasted more
:12:04. > :12:10.than a year and it's taken its toll on her health.
:12:11. > :12:12.Couldn't sleep, couldn't sleep for months and months and still now,
:12:13. > :12:15.you'd hear someone with a glory and you think, oh my God,
:12:16. > :12:19.they're going to put it up on a high up or something and take it.
:12:20. > :12:24.So hopefully the law will change and the man who sold me the car can
:12:25. > :12:27.If the government accept the Law Commission recommendation,
:12:28. > :12:38.the new law could be on the statutes sometime next year.
:12:39. > :12:41.Still to come on the programme tonight, Welsh football is on a high
:12:42. > :12:46.Now talk of a Great Britain football team playing at the next Olympics
:12:47. > :12:48.isn't scoring well with fans. And could a robot really do

:13:05. > :13:07.There's just under a week left of voting to choose the next
:13:08. > :13:09.Labour Leader and both candidates have been setting out their
:13:10. > :13:11.industrial policies as the contest enters its final days.
:13:12. > :13:14.Jeremy Corbyn used a speech in London earlier to say
:13:15. > :13:16.that he would insist on the use of British steel in
:13:17. > :13:33.Owen Smith will visit Port Talbot steelworks shortly. You will be
:13:34. > :13:41.outlining how he will protect manufacturing jobs. Jobs and the
:13:42. > :13:47.economy very much the focus today. That's right, as we enter the final
:13:48. > :13:51.stages of this campaign that started off fairly gently at the beginning
:13:52. > :13:55.of the summer but has got increasingly fractious as the weeks
:13:56. > :13:59.and months have gone on. The accusation against the Jeremy Corbyn
:14:00. > :14:02.camp is they will lead some kind of vendetta against Labour MPs that
:14:03. > :14:08.have been rude towards Jeremy Corbyn. The accusation against the
:14:09. > :14:11.Owen Smith camp is that he is led an increasingly personalised campaign
:14:12. > :14:15.against the character of Jeremy Corbyn but today an opportunity for
:14:16. > :14:18.both men to lay out their industrial strategies. In central London,
:14:19. > :14:23.Jeremy Corbyn talking about the need to borrow to invest in our
:14:24. > :14:29.manufacturing base and Owen Smith as you say will come here tonight and
:14:30. > :14:34.meets union and workers to set out one of his policies, which is again
:14:35. > :14:37.linked to the need for the government to borrow to invest in
:14:38. > :14:41.manufacturing but he will add a bit of spice to it by saying that it
:14:42. > :14:47.Jeremy Corbyn was in charge, he would put hundreds of thousands of
:14:48. > :14:51.jobs in energy, oil and gas and manufacturing and the nuclear
:14:52. > :14:57.industry at risk. Now of course, the public don't vote in this contest
:14:58. > :15:01.but union members do. And that clearly is what both men's messages
:15:02. > :15:05.have been directed that today. Thank you very much.
:15:06. > :15:07.Labour aren't the only party in the midst of
:15:08. > :15:10.Tomorrow, we'll learn who'll take over from Nigel Farage
:15:11. > :15:14.So, after months of bitter infighting within Ukip Wales,
:15:15. > :15:16.what impact will the new leader have on the party?
:15:17. > :15:19.The two main figures in Ukip here differ on what they want
:15:20. > :15:21.from the next chapter of the party's story.
:15:22. > :15:38.And while Roald Dahl 's life will be celebrated in Cardiff this weekend,
:15:39. > :15:42.the person who will take the big seat in Ukip will also be announced.
:15:43. > :15:47.So what do the characters in the party look like?
:15:48. > :15:50.They've made Ukip one of the stories of Welsh politics.
:15:51. > :15:52.They now have a significant group of Assembly Members and won
:15:53. > :15:54.what is to most members the equivalent of
:15:55. > :16:09.Reflecting a deep split in the party, the story
:16:10. > :16:12.of Ukip in Wales has become a struggle between two men,
:16:13. > :16:14.Nathan Gill who led the assembly election campaign and is close
:16:15. > :16:17.to Nigel Farage and the man who beat him in a vote
:16:18. > :16:19.to become assembly group leader, Neil Hamilton,
:16:20. > :16:22.seen as being on the anti Farage side of the party.
:16:23. > :16:24.Since then, Nathan Gill has left the assembly group and now sits
:16:25. > :16:28.So where do the pictures go next in the Ukip block?
:16:29. > :16:31.Well, Nigel Farage's successor will be drawn from a cast
:16:32. > :16:37.The favourite is Nigel Farage's ally, Diane James.
:16:38. > :16:43.So what's the mood on the story here?
:16:44. > :16:50.Unsurprisingly, the big characters disagree.
:16:51. > :16:59.Nathan Gill says he thinks Diane James will try to change
:17:00. > :17:04.If you were the leader of the new party and you had people
:17:05. > :17:07.in the party who were kicking against what you were trying
:17:08. > :17:11.to achieve, you would have two stamp your authority on those people.
:17:12. > :17:13.So could that mean trying to destabilise Neil Hamilton's role
:17:14. > :17:20.There is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to change
:17:21. > :17:22.the leadership of the group in the assembly because that is
:17:23. > :17:24.entirely in the hands of our Assembly Members.
:17:25. > :17:26.They elected me rather than Nathan Gill, hence
:17:27. > :17:29.Because he can't cope with the democratic
:17:30. > :17:32.They may not yet be giants on the political scene,
:17:33. > :17:35.but whoever takes the hot seat for Ukip tomorrow is likely
:17:36. > :17:51.to have a big say on how the story develops for the party in Wales.
:17:52. > :17:54.Doctors at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor say there's been a dramatic drop
:17:55. > :17:57.in the number of diabetic people having legs or feet amputated.
:17:58. > :17:58.They say better co-ordination between different medical
:17:59. > :18:01.and nursing staff has helped them to act quickly and prevent
:18:02. > :18:11.A checkup at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
:18:12. > :18:13.69-year-old Jenny Glover has type two diabetes.
:18:14. > :18:15.Last December, her foot became infected and she was brought
:18:16. > :18:25.She says it is only thanks to staff here that she didn't lose her foot.
:18:26. > :18:27.They are wonderful but I live on my own.
:18:28. > :18:30.If I didn't have some kind of mobility, I don't want to go
:18:31. > :18:33.into care or anything like that, or have care is coming round,
:18:34. > :18:41.Jenny Glover has lost toes in the past, having limbs
:18:42. > :18:43.amputated is a known risk for people with diabetes.
:18:44. > :18:46.They lose sensation in their limbs and don't realise if they have been
:18:47. > :18:48.hurt by something as simple as a shoe rubbing.
:18:49. > :18:51.In England, figures for the start of this decade show that as many
:18:52. > :18:54.as 135 people a week had to have an amputation
:18:55. > :18:58.The charity Diabetes UK says it is a serious problem and diabetic
:18:59. > :19:00.people don't always get the care they need to avoid it
:19:01. > :19:09.But at Ysbyty Gwynedd, things are a bit different.
:19:10. > :19:11.Ten years ago, managers reorganise the way staff care for diabetic
:19:12. > :19:13.Different specialists started working together
:19:14. > :19:20.I find amputating limbs always very disappointing,
:19:21. > :19:26.But to get people back from the brink of losing a limb
:19:27. > :19:29.or even life, getting back to a real good quality
:19:30. > :19:32.of life is a real thrill, not just for me, but for all
:19:33. > :19:37.the staff and the staff keep going because they see results.
:19:38. > :19:39.And those results are reflected in the figures.
:19:40. > :19:42.In 2014, staff at Ysbyty Gwynedd did no major amputations at all.
:19:43. > :19:45.They say they are working hard to carry on in the same way,
:19:46. > :19:50.Let's get tonight's sport now with Tomos.
