:01:18. > :01:19.Good evening, welcome to the programme.

:01:20. > :01:22.It was the biggest drugs investigation ever conducted

:01:23. > :01:26.by Dyfed Powys Police and it's led to 19 people being sentenced to 169

:01:27. > :01:31.The gang, which included members from South Wales,

:01:32. > :01:33.Liverpool and Manchester, attempted to sell ?19

:01:34. > :01:50.These are the people who, it was said in court,, brought misery and

:01:51. > :01:53.debt too many families. Convicted of a conspiracy to supply class a

:01:54. > :01:59.drugs, they have been jailed for 106 to nine years. Described in court as

:02:00. > :02:04.the leaders of this drugs ring, 32-year-old Matthew Roberts and

:02:05. > :02:09.30-year-old Ian Michael Edwards from Liverpool took their time to recruit

:02:10. > :02:13.and plan their efforts to bring 15 kilos of cocaine to south-west

:02:14. > :02:19.Wales. It is fair to say this is one of the most challenging operations

:02:20. > :02:24.we have taken here. Given the example of the numbers deployed in

:02:25. > :02:28.Liverpool during the arrest phase of the upstream suppliers, in excess of

:02:29. > :02:33.200 officers were deployed in the Liverpool area. This quiet street in

:02:34. > :02:36.the Swansea Valley became the centre of their operations. It was to a

:02:37. > :02:41.flat in this property where the cocaine was transported from

:02:42. > :02:46.Liverpool and Manchester. Here it was cut, mixed and packaged, ready

:02:47. > :02:48.to be sold on the streets of the South West valleys and

:02:49. > :02:52.Pembrokeshire. It was here where Dyfed-Powys Police were able to

:02:53. > :02:56.conceal a recording device to catch the gang of criminals red-handed.

:02:57. > :03:01.The investigation focused on the activities of organised crime groups

:03:02. > :03:05.in South West Wales, Liverpool and Greater Manchester. Very soon it

:03:06. > :03:09.became clear to police of the rules of certain gang members, some acted

:03:10. > :03:14.as the organisers, others as the pals guardians and careers. It

:03:15. > :03:18.became a UK police effort to catch all those involved and eventually

:03:19. > :03:22.more than 2.5 kilos of high purity cocaine was seized by Dyfed-Powys

:03:23. > :03:27.Police as well as hundreds and thousands of pounds in cash. Each

:03:28. > :03:30.defendant in this case had a distinct role in the group. Each

:03:31. > :03:35.bears no responsibility for bringing misery to the communities they

:03:36. > :03:40.supplied. Together they prayed upon those in the grip of addiction who

:03:41. > :03:44.often turn to often other types of crime to support their habit. There

:03:45. > :03:48.has been a 15% rise in hospital admissions involving cocaine over

:03:49. > :03:52.the last five years. In 2013, cocaine was mentioned on the death

:03:53. > :03:57.record of seven people. In the same year, police in Wales made 761

:03:58. > :04:02.cocaine seizures, that is higher than the number of times they seized

:04:03. > :04:09.heroin or amphetamines. There is a clear message to those individuals,

:04:10. > :04:16.take this opportunity as a warning that this is not the place to come

:04:17. > :04:20.to be involved in organised crime. The judge said the analysis of the

:04:21. > :04:25.data obtained during this operation and the surveillance methods

:04:26. > :04:29.deployed by the police of the absolute highest order. At the close

:04:30. > :04:34.of proceedings, the judge said this had been a detailed and exceptional

:04:35. > :04:37.investigation. He formally commended three officers of Dyfed-Powys Police

:04:38. > :04:39.and a civilian crime analyst. He said the public would then a great

:04:40. > :04:41.debt of thanks for their work. A 20-year-old gymnastics coach has

:04:42. > :04:45.been sentenced to six years in prison at Cardiff Crown Court

:04:46. > :04:47.for sexually abusing The police have called 20-year-old

:04:48. > :04:52.Luke Griffin a dangerous and manipulative sex offender

:04:53. > :04:55.after he groomed seven girls and one boy between the ages of seven

:04:56. > :04:58.and ten over two years. The court was told that Griffin

:04:59. > :05:02.was sexually gratified by feet Teleri Glyn Jones is in the newsroom

:05:03. > :05:16.now. What more can you tell us? The court

:05:17. > :05:21.heard that Luke Griffin targeted seven girls and a boy, all under ten

:05:22. > :05:26.years old, I licking, biting and tickling their feet, all for his

:05:27. > :05:29.sexual gratification. He tied up some of his terrified victims and

:05:30. > :05:33.lock them in the boot of his car. Some of the assaults he even

:05:34. > :05:38.recorded on his phone. The prosecutor said he was deliberate

:05:39. > :05:41.and sophisticated in the way he chose his victims, targeting young

:05:42. > :05:45.and vulnerable children whose parents had split up. He would then

:05:46. > :05:48.arrange left to and from the gymnastics club in order to get

:05:49. > :05:53.access to the children away from their parents. The judge said it was

:05:54. > :05:57.the grossest breach of trust and that each child had been profoundly

:05:58. > :06:05.affected. Was at the police said about this? Detective has said this

:06:06. > :06:09.was a particularly serious case because Luke Griffin had abused a

:06:10. > :06:13.position of trust to deceive decent trusting people. She said the

:06:14. > :06:18.parents had been on a harrowing journey and that the children had

:06:19. > :06:23.shown remarkable bravery in coming forward. The Crown Prosecution

:06:24. > :06:26.Service said they hoped a six-year sentence would be of some comfort to

:06:27. > :06:30.the young victims and their families. We approached British

:06:31. > :06:33.gymnastics for a comment and they say they have been working with the

:06:34. > :06:34.relevant authorities but that it wouldn't be appropriate for them to

:06:35. > :06:36.comment at the moment. The man charged with the murder of

:06:37. > :06:40.two people on Cardiff's Queen Street Andrew Saunders, who's 20,

:06:41. > :06:44.spoke to confirm his name and date of birth and gave his address

:06:45. > :06:47.as of no fixed abode. He was remanded in custody,

:06:48. > :06:49.to appear at Cardiff Zoe Morgan and Lee Simmons

:06:50. > :06:54.were stabbed near the Matalan shop The appointment of a new Chief

:06:55. > :07:00.Constable for Dyfed-Powys Police Mark Collins who's currently

:07:01. > :07:04.the deputy chief constable in Bedfordshire will take over

:07:05. > :07:08.from Simon Prince, who's Mr Collins began his career

:07:09. > :07:12.in Carmarthen in 1987. He says his main challenges will be

:07:13. > :07:28.policing rural communities The challenges will always be the

:07:29. > :07:33.morality of the force and getting to emergency calls as quickly as we

:07:34. > :07:37.possibly can. That'll always be a challenge for a force such as

:07:38. > :07:41.Dyfed-Powys Police but we also have challenges with austerity. We're are

:07:42. > :07:43.negotiating for a new forming -- funding formula.

:07:44. > :07:46.A company seeking a management buyout of Tata steel

:07:47. > :07:48.is willing to increase its bid for the Port Talbot steelworks

:07:49. > :07:52.Speaking exclusively to BBC Wales, the chairman of Excalibur,

:07:53. > :07:55.Roger Maggs, also says he'd consider working with competitor

:07:56. > :08:04.Liberty Steel and look at taking on the pension scheme.

:08:05. > :08:13.I suspect there are other solutions other than the pension protection

:08:14. > :08:18.front which will not be popular, or the change in the law that now seems

:08:19. > :08:23.to be drifting away. If the door closed? Can explore other ways?

:08:24. > :08:25.Having been told, don't worry about it, we're happy to explore other

:08:26. > :08:26.ways. Let s speak to our business

:08:27. > :08:40.correspondent Brian Meechan who's How significant is it that Roger

:08:41. > :08:43.Maggs is speaking out now? It is significant, Excalibur had been one

:08:44. > :08:48.of the three bidders that were expected to go on to the short list

:08:49. > :08:51.to buy Port Talbot and the other UK sites that at a steel has. Before

:08:52. > :08:57.that short list was expected, it emerged that Tater was in talks with

:08:58. > :09:06.a German firm over a merger that would see it and other UK operations

:09:07. > :09:11.on hold. It has to be said that is surprising to some people and this

:09:12. > :09:14.move, I think, is the first time ultimately that Excalibur had spoken

:09:15. > :09:18.out since that happened. It is making a move in three significant

:09:19. > :09:22.areas saying it will increase its bid, it will potentially work with

:09:23. > :09:28.liberty, its competitor, who it had seriously ruled out working within

:09:29. > :09:31.the past, and that whole issue of pensions, a major part of the deal,

:09:32. > :09:36.it now will be willing look at taking on that pension scheme. What

:09:37. > :09:42.can we expect to see in the coming months about the future of Port

:09:43. > :09:47.Talbot? I think the key issue is, that relationship as it emerges

:09:48. > :09:52.between Tater steel and the other group and whether that merger will

:09:53. > :09:55.go ahead. It is a complex one but many are concerned that it doesn't

:09:56. > :09:59.leave a long-term future guaranteed for Port Talbot and the Welsh sites

:10:00. > :10:03.although they say that necessarily true if it is efficient enough.

:10:04. > :10:07.Pensions is the key issue, it is not just down to them because ultimately

:10:08. > :10:11.the UK Government will play a part in funding any dealers goes ahead

:10:12. > :10:15.and in dealing with the pensions issue. The pensions issue ultimately

:10:16. > :10:17.is going to be crucial in anything that goes ahead now.

:10:18. > :10:21.Three shops in Pontypridd were sold by the Welsh Government for close

:10:22. > :10:24.to a million pounds less than the price they paid for them.

:10:25. > :10:28.The units were purchased for ?1.25 million in 2008 as part

:10:29. > :10:31.of regeneration plans which didn't materialise.

:10:32. > :10:35.An opposition AM has referred the case to a spending watchdog.

:10:36. > :10:38.The government says it sold the shops based

:10:39. > :10:53.The shops are empty now, though clearly they were bargains to be had

:10:54. > :10:56.here. In 2008, the last government was hoping this area would be

:10:57. > :11:00.transformed by a new shopping centre. As a result, it bought three

:11:01. > :11:07.shops at a total cost of over ?1 million. But when the economy crash,

:11:08. > :11:10.the idea was dropped. Ministers had paid ?100,000 for these two shops

:11:11. > :11:17.and a further 4,000 and ?50,000 with this one. Earlier this year, all

:11:18. > :11:24.three were sold for a total of just ?271,000. Around a fifth of the

:11:25. > :11:29.original cost. It only came to light after this assembly member uncovered

:11:30. > :11:31.the information through a Freedom of Information request. He has now

:11:32. > :11:36.referred the matter to the police. It is clear that it is happening

:11:37. > :11:43.time and time again is at the very least, we are talking about a series

:11:44. > :11:45.of incompetence is. There should be some disciplinary procedures

:11:46. > :11:50.following there if people have not done what they should have been

:11:51. > :11:54.doing. An independent valuation for the last government said the lower

:11:55. > :12:00.price was as a result of changes in market conditions for properties of

:12:01. > :12:04.this nature over the period between 2008 and 2016. The properties were

:12:05. > :12:07.vacant so not generating a rental income and that the condition had

:12:08. > :12:12.deteriorated for the past eight years. I have been told the Welsh

:12:13. > :12:17.government only asked for that information earlier this week. I

:12:18. > :12:21.have a letter containing the advice and it is dated yesterday, a month

:12:22. > :12:24.after the initial request was made to ministers so we have asked the

:12:25. > :12:29.Welsh government, why was that decision taken earlier this year to

:12:30. > :12:32.sell these properties? The Welsh government says it the properties

:12:33. > :12:36.because they had been identified as surplus stock. The matter has now

:12:37. > :12:41.been referred to Wilson 's public spending watchdog and they say they

:12:42. > :12:42.are considering the information to see if further investigation is

:12:43. > :12:43.required. Still to come in the programme:

:12:44. > :12:48.From a classical pianist to a tennis champion -

:12:49. > :12:53.the first awards celebrating the achievements of young

:12:54. > :12:57.black people in Wales. And could it be last orders

:12:58. > :12:59.at one of Dylan Thomas The campaign to save a treasured

:13:00. > :13:10.watering hole in New Quay. A 2.5 mile tunnel under

:13:11. > :13:14.the Menai Strait with cables linking Anglesey's Wylfa Newydd power

:13:15. > :13:18.station to the National Grid - National Grid say they're proposing

:13:19. > :13:23.the underwater link instead of pylons, to protect

:13:24. > :13:27.the area s natural beauty. However campaigners say power

:13:28. > :13:29.lines should be buried The Menai tunnel will be based

:13:30. > :13:47.on ones already under Anglesey is positioning itself as a

:13:48. > :13:53.so-called energy Island, providing up to 10% of Britain's power using a

:13:54. > :13:56.combination of generators, most notably the replacement for the

:13:57. > :13:59.existing nuclear power station but it needs a way of delivering that

:14:00. > :14:04.power to the National Grid on the mainland in an area of outstanding

:14:05. > :14:08.natural beauty. To do that, they will have to tunnel under the water.

:14:09. > :14:12.Techniques are already being pioneered in the UK capital. A city

:14:13. > :14:17.the size of London it uses a vast amount of power and that is why they

:14:18. > :14:19.are in the process of upgrading the infrastructure, but with pylons

:14:20. > :14:27.above ground but with cables down below. It takes a full five minutes

:14:28. > :14:31.to descend the dozens of flights of concrete steps that icky deep under

:14:32. > :14:35.the heart of central London. These tunnels will eventually house

:14:36. > :14:42.massive budget city cables, but of the power during deep under the

:14:43. > :14:44.Thames. It is part of ?1 billion project, three tunnels, 30

:14:45. > :14:53.kilometres. A similar project will be built in North Wales. The

:14:54. > :14:55.Welshman will be a four point one: otters and analyse straight and the

:14:56. > :15:05.tunnel will be even bigger than this, five metres in diameter. I am

:15:06. > :15:09.external affairs manager of the National Grid. I know in London that

:15:10. > :15:15.this project has cost ?1 billion. An expensive option, do you know the

:15:16. > :15:19.last one will cost? We're looking at probably over ?1 million just for

:15:20. > :15:24.this cable channel to take the link from Anglesey and over to the

:15:25. > :15:28.mainland and into the National Grid. This is a feat of engineering. Here

:15:29. > :15:32.in London we are digging through London clay. Different conditions in

:15:33. > :15:37.Wales with rock and limestone that it will be a real engineering

:15:38. > :15:42.challenge for us to do that. This project has taken about eight years

:15:43. > :15:47.and we think it will be less for North Wales. Back on Anglesey

:15:48. > :15:51.however, one Councillor has cold the tunnel a token gesture. Many have

:15:52. > :15:55.campaigned for all the power cables to be buried because it is concerned

:15:56. > :16:00.more pylons will have a negative impact on the island landscape. We

:16:01. > :16:04.do not want pylons across the island because it affects the beauty. It is

:16:05. > :16:08.our biggest selling point. It is a way important for our economy.

:16:09. > :16:13.Economy is built on farming and tourism and that is what is

:16:14. > :16:16.important to us, the natural beauty. National Grid say they published

:16:17. > :16:20.their favoured route but the pylons and details of the tunnel and now

:16:21. > :16:23.want local people's views until the consultation ends in mid-December.

:16:24. > :16:26.The first ever awards ceremony for young black people in Wales

:16:27. > :16:28.who've made a positive contribution to their community has taken place.

:16:29. > :16:31.Among the winners a former asylum seeker now a tennis champion

:16:32. > :16:49.A chance to showcase the talents of black youngsters from around Wales.

:16:50. > :16:55.These towards held in the Senate today, recognition for hard work and

:16:56. > :17:04.community spread shown by each of the winners. Kimberley from Swansea,

:17:05. > :17:08.a former asylum seeker, has become a number-1 Welsh under 18 's tennis

:17:09. > :17:11.player. Without funding, she has been coached by her father who

:17:12. > :17:16.learned the game a book. It really means a lot to be me because words

:17:17. > :17:22.can't explain how much my parents have struggled and how much I have

:17:23. > :17:25.struggled and this award can show people that if you work hard and are

:17:26. > :17:32.determined and if you sacrifice, you can become big and people can

:17:33. > :17:39.recognise how much hard work you do. Also from Swansea, this lady awarded

:17:40. > :17:45.for her music and passion to share it with others. There are not many

:17:46. > :17:52.coloured people, I would say, but do what I do. It is very rewarding. I

:17:53. > :17:58.want to show others that anything, any dream you can put your mind to,

:17:59. > :18:02.you can achieve. These towards are about unearthing new talent which

:18:03. > :18:08.deserves recognition. One of the nominees for the sport towards was a

:18:09. > :18:13.chilly the national Welsh youth champion and I did not know, I had

:18:14. > :18:28.never come across her name or seen her on TV, so you can imagine that

:18:29. > :18:31.such a gem had it not been for these towards. There were towards for

:18:32. > :18:36.young carers, volunteers and entrepreneurs among others. The

:18:37. > :18:40.wider aims, say the organisers, is to share to the world the

:18:41. > :18:44.conservation of the Black committee. Anything and I cannot believe it is

:18:45. > :18:50.a chilly happened so, thank you. For me, good to see so many other people

:18:51. > :18:53.in the black community. It is good, it feels nice. A very good day.

:20:57. > :20:59.These two boxers, Nathan Cleverly and current light

:21:00. > :21:03.heavyweight champion Jurgen Brahmer go head-to-head with this belt on

:21:04. > :21:08.They've never fought in the ring but Brahmer has defined Cleverly's

:21:09. > :21:12.Five years ago they were meant to fight for the WBA light

:21:13. > :21:16.heavyweight championship in London, only for the German to withdraw with

:21:17. > :21:20.injury, handing Cleverley his first title at just 24 years of age.

:21:21. > :21:25.He is now 29 and no longer a world champion and his career has

:21:26. > :21:30.All experiences, Cleverly says, he has learned from.

:21:31. > :21:32.I wouldn't have done anything differently.

:21:33. > :21:35.I look back and think, wow, what an absolutely brilliant

:21:36. > :21:39.That was the first chapter of my career and it was an

:21:40. > :21:43.I lived the dream, I was a world champion in a 24.

:21:44. > :21:46.At some point it will come to an end and

:21:47. > :21:51.here we are, wiser, I've learned a lot, I am more humble,

:21:52. > :21:54.I am stronger and I'm ready for chapter two and to

:21:55. > :22:02.The sports stadium is a venue Jurgen Brahmer

:22:03. > :22:09.With the final preparations underway in the venue

:22:10. > :22:12.ahead of fight night tomorrow, Cleverly's trainer is in confident

:22:13. > :22:16.We're prepared to go into deep, deep waters in this fight.

:22:17. > :22:21.Best physically and mentally I've ever seen him in the

:22:22. > :22:24.four or five years I've been involved with Nathan.

:22:25. > :22:28.He has come for one thing and that is the world title.

:22:29. > :22:30.Don't be fooled by his relaxed demeanour.

:22:31. > :22:32.Nathan Cleverly is a man on a mission, to

:22:33. > :22:38.become world champion for the second time.

:22:39. > :22:41.And just a reminder that you can catch the Dragon

:22:42. > :22:44.in action tonight - Scrum V Live is on BBC

:22:45. > :22:50.It's the oldest pub in the Ceredigion seaside town

:22:51. > :22:54.of New Quay and it's said to have inspired some of Dylan Thomas' work.

:22:55. > :22:58.But the Dolau Inn which opened in the 18th century is set to close

:22:59. > :23:01.as a pub - and be turned into accommodation.

:23:02. > :23:13.Locals have now started a petition to try and save it.

:23:14. > :23:19.The town was not yet awake. Dylan Thomas 's play, quite early one

:23:20. > :23:24.morning, inspired and written during his short time Britain in the

:23:25. > :23:27.seaside town of the key. Dylan was a regular in most of the towns pubs

:23:28. > :23:33.but it was the Dolau Inn it was said to be his wife was my favourite. It

:23:34. > :23:39.is the oldest pub here but its life after 250 years of serving beer is

:23:40. > :23:43.due to come to an end as the brewery in to turn it into accommodation for

:23:44. > :23:48.their neighbouring pub. It has a lot of history. I think it is about the

:23:49. > :23:51.first, second or third house built here so it has been around for a

:23:52. > :23:54.very long time and a lot of the locals and tourists have great

:23:55. > :23:59.memories of the place and it would be a shame to lose it. It wasn't

:24:00. > :24:02.just and Thomas are trying here but also actors Richard Burton along

:24:03. > :24:06.with Oscar winner Paul Scofield when they were visiting Newquay but it is

:24:07. > :24:09.the link to the Welsh writer and poet that have earned it a place on

:24:10. > :24:16.the Dylan Thomas trail with many tourists popping in here, following

:24:17. > :24:21.in Dylan's footsteps. Dylan Thomas 's year here was even turned into a

:24:22. > :24:28.film when Matthew Rees, Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley starred

:24:29. > :24:31.in the edge of Love. Local historian says places like the Dolau Inn and

:24:32. > :24:37.its regulars inspired his most famous work. He wrote quite early

:24:38. > :24:45.one morning, which was a radio play and during the war and it is based

:24:46. > :24:54.absolutely on new key. What you will find, if you look at the two of

:24:55. > :24:57.them. I'll paintings still hang on the wall, it is a different pub from

:24:58. > :25:03.the days of Dylan Thomas but many here have fond memories. Iron member

:25:04. > :25:11.when I was a youngster, this was the first place I ever came to drink and

:25:12. > :25:15.those of my father back in 1968. It seems time has passed and will be

:25:16. > :25:19.cold but this pub, steeped in Welsh history. Last orders!

:25:20. > :25:29.The weather is next. Were in for a mixed weekend, feeling

:25:30. > :25:32.fresher with rain at times on Saturday and then Sunday is looking

:25:33. > :25:38.drier and brighter. The pressure chart shows this rain that is curing

:25:39. > :25:43.eastwards and the next area of low pressure arriving overnight to bring

:25:44. > :25:47.in rain at times tomorrow. This evening, dry for a time with clear

:25:48. > :25:50.spells further east that this next and of more persistent heavy showery

:25:51. > :25:54.rain will arrive in the West overnight with those of seven to 12

:25:55. > :25:58.Celsius. Tomorrow, some dry spells in the north and east but a Met

:25:59. > :26:04.Office warning for outbreaks of rain pushing in from the Southwest. Heavy

:26:05. > :26:09.at times with a risk of hail and thunder. It should ease in the

:26:10. > :26:16.afternoon with winds easing and much fresher feel in recent days. Top

:26:17. > :26:20.temperatures of 11 Celsius. Later tomorrow, that Lou clears eastwards

:26:21. > :26:25.and a brief ridge of high pressure building from the south overnight

:26:26. > :26:27.into Sunday, a settled spell between these two weather systems so

:26:28. > :26:34.tomorrow night, showers easing, turning drier. Colder overnight with

:26:35. > :26:39.temperatures into new single figures in rural mid Wales. Sunday, some

:26:40. > :26:46.early mist that a dry and chilly start and then turning into a fine,

:26:47. > :26:50.dry day with some good sunny spells. Highs of 14 or 15 Celsius. Ideal

:26:51. > :26:56.weather if, like me, you are taking part in the current half marathon on

:26:57. > :27:01.Sunday. It should stay dry with sunny spells. A mixed weekend. Heavy

:27:02. > :27:05.rain at times on Saturday and on Sunday, the better day. And they

:27:06. > :27:10.should be largely dry and fine but breezy and some early signs of

:27:11. > :27:15.things getting warmer again midweek. Finally, today's picture by one of

:27:16. > :27:20.our weather watchers. A rainbow between the sunshine and showers

:27:21. > :27:24.today. More rain there at times. If you have any photos to help tell the

:27:25. > :27:27.weather story, you can become a weather watcher and upload pictures

:27:28. > :27:30.on the website. We'll have a quick update at 8,
