:00:24. > :00:27.It is entirely understandable that people will be frustrated with the
:00:28. > :00:31.length of time it has taken to get here. What is more important is that
:00:32. > :00:34.we have made the right decision for the care system. This will have an
:00:35. > :00:43.impact for a generation to come. by politicians in Cardiff rather
:00:44. > :00:48.than Westminster - tonight a furious A Swansea MP, who eight year old son
:00:49. > :00:53.died, makes an impassioned plea for childrens' funeral costs to be
:00:54. > :01:06.scrapped. You can't imagine what that feels
:01:07. > :01:08.like, that pain is absolutely... It is unimaginable.
:01:09. > :01:10.69 jobs lost and 88 more are at risk, the hunt
:01:11. > :01:13.is on for a buyer for this Pembrokeshire engineering firm.
:01:14. > :01:15.And in tonight's sport, Gareth Bale says, it's a dream come
:01:16. > :01:18.true to have signed a new deal with Real Madrid,
:01:19. > :01:20.reportedly worth more than a ?100 million over
:01:21. > :01:33.It was first proposed over a decade ago -
:01:34. > :01:35.and after years of delays a new 350 million pound hospital
:01:36. > :01:38.for South East Wales has finally been given the go ahead.
:01:39. > :01:41.The Specialist and Critical Care Centre is expected to open in 2022
:01:42. > :01:43.as part of a plan to modernise health-services run
:01:44. > :02:06.The best sort of medicine, at this health centre. Here they try to keep
:02:07. > :02:10.people out of hospital, working with the local council and others to
:02:11. > :02:13.provide support services. But first some emergencies only a major
:02:14. > :02:20.hospital will do. In this part of Wales that means ageing facilities.
:02:21. > :02:24.Neville Hall Hospital in Abergavenny or Newport in the Royal Gwent. Here
:02:25. > :02:30.the emergency department includes temporary cabins. Time for a change.
:02:31. > :02:33.The new specialist in critical care centre, almost all patients will
:02:34. > :02:36.arrive here by bluelight ambulance. Treatments for heart attacks,
:02:37. > :02:41.neo-natal and children's services will move from Newport in
:02:42. > :02:46.Abergavenny to hear amongst consultant led expertise. You want
:02:47. > :02:51.the right care in the right place at the right time and that sometimes
:02:52. > :02:54.needs you need specialist centres with excellent quality care rather
:02:55. > :02:59.than trying to do too many things into many places. Plans were first
:03:00. > :03:03.floated in 2004 body ?300 million project but six years later the
:03:04. > :03:10.plans were no further forward and the then health Minister ask for
:03:11. > :03:13.more details of the plans. There was uncertainty for years, seemingly
:03:14. > :03:17.little progress, but then in 2013 the new man in charge once the
:03:18. > :03:23.review also Wales hospitals. More delay but later that year the
:03:24. > :03:27.business case for the site was finally accepted. Two years later
:03:28. > :03:31.the health board submitted its final plans, demolition of old buildings
:03:32. > :03:37.on the site, but still no final confirmed start date. The original
:03:38. > :03:41.cost up now by more than ?50 million and several delays. Some people will
:03:42. > :03:45.be delayed -- be frustrated with the length of time it has taken to get
:03:46. > :03:49.here. What is more important is that the right decision is taken for the
:03:50. > :03:54.whole health care system. This will have an impact for a generation to
:03:55. > :03:59.come. So the delays are justified? To get the right decision it is
:04:00. > :04:04.absolutely justified. This will be like any other large hospital but
:04:05. > :04:08.with 460 beds it could catered -- it could cater for as many patients as
:04:09. > :04:13.other Welsh hospitals. This band spent a decade for the hospital that
:04:14. > :04:19.night arguing for the hospital to be built here. We have had a range of
:04:20. > :04:23.health ministers in the period, each one has come in and said we want to
:04:24. > :04:28.spend all this money on this one project, I want to examine it. We
:04:29. > :04:34.have been providing health services in point with facilities that were
:04:35. > :04:39.designed and built for the made last century health needs. This has been
:04:40. > :04:44.a long time coming then. It has been a long time coming. A landscape of
:04:45. > :04:49.Green fails ready to be transformed into a major hospital. The BMA said
:04:50. > :04:54.many of the doctors have concerns about the lack of detail in these
:04:55. > :04:57.plans. It still wonders what the new facility could mean for other
:04:58. > :05:00.services across South Wales and the doors here open in 2022.
:05:01. > :05:03.The pay and conditions of Wales' 20,000 teachers are currently set
:05:04. > :05:06.But the responsibility could soon sit with the National Assembly.
:05:07. > :05:08.On the whole politicians welcome the move, they say
:05:09. > :05:11.it's sensible, but unions are not happy, they say
:05:12. > :05:12.it could mean lower salaries for teachers working
:05:13. > :05:23.Let's talk to our political editor Nick Servini.
:05:24. > :05:30.This is a surprising announcement that has come late in the afternoon.
:05:31. > :05:34.Late in the day, the backdrop is the discussions over the Wales Bill, the
:05:35. > :05:37.plans to devolve further powers from Westminster to Cardiff. It is
:05:38. > :05:40.working through Westminster now and this amendment was tabled in the
:05:41. > :05:45.House of Lords where it has been debated this afternoon. The backdrop
:05:46. > :05:49.is that there has been serious criticism of this bill, the
:05:50. > :05:55.accusation is that it is unworkable, too confusing. On Friday: Jones
:05:56. > :05:59.wrote to the secretary calling for among other things devolution of
:06:00. > :06:04.teachers PM conditions to be devolved. The olive branch has been
:06:05. > :06:11.given to him this afternoon. The question is, is it enough? I suspect
:06:12. > :06:16.not on its own. Despite a statement from the wells, this afternoon. But
:06:17. > :06:19.maybe if more things are added soon. But the teaching unions are not
:06:20. > :06:23.happy are they? The theory is low cost of living in parts of Wales
:06:24. > :06:27.compare to places like the south-east of England, will mean
:06:28. > :06:31.lower pay? A teacher shortage in England, will there be a brain drain
:06:32. > :06:35.of teachers out of Wales into England? The public sector unions on
:06:36. > :06:39.pay and conditions believe in safety in numbers, at a UK level. The
:06:40. > :06:44.trouble is it runs up against the flow of devolution, and there is an
:06:45. > :06:49.entirely logical argument for this to happen when virtually everything
:06:50. > :06:52.else in the education system is devolved, why isn't teachers PM
:06:53. > :06:56.conditions devolve as well? And now I think because we know that there
:06:57. > :07:07.is a political consensus both in Cardiff and London, I would say it
:07:08. > :07:11.is a matter of when rather than F. A buyer is being sought tonight for an
:07:12. > :07:18.engineering firm based in Pembroke sure. Main port engineering was put
:07:19. > :07:25.into administration last week. Main port engineering has been a
:07:26. > :07:28.major employer here for more than a quarter of the century. This new
:07:29. > :07:36.manufacturing site only opened in June 2015 costing 1.8 LU pounds. The
:07:37. > :07:41.company also got a ?650,000 will government grant to create new jobs
:07:42. > :07:46.and safeguard its workforce. Its biggest customer was miracle. When
:07:47. > :07:50.the refinery shut in 2014 main ports lost one third of its income. They
:07:51. > :07:53.have since struggled to find new customers. The main gates here at
:07:54. > :07:57.main port engineering have been closed for a few days, the only clue
:07:58. > :08:01.as to what has gone on is the sign of the gate telling the book the
:08:02. > :08:04.company has gone into administration. Those administrators
:08:05. > :08:08.have already made 69 members of staff redundant which means the 88
:08:09. > :08:13.members of staff face an uncertain future is eating for news. Main
:08:14. > :08:17.port's new factory was a key part of the Haven waterway enterprise zone
:08:18. > :08:23.but even its backers admit the loss of Manukau is the felt now two years
:08:24. > :08:28.later. It takes time for something like that to pay out, businesses
:08:29. > :08:30.move quickly to get replacement work but this was a big customer for
:08:31. > :08:37.those engineering companies in the area. The fact that it has gone is
:08:38. > :08:41.continuing to resonate. The company had been served by a winding-up
:08:42. > :08:44.petition by HMRC, the case was due to be held at the High Court this
:08:45. > :08:50.morning but after the ministry jurors were called in the action by
:08:51. > :08:55.HMRC has been suspended. I would like to think it is an isolated
:08:56. > :08:57.incident. There are successful copies in Pembroke sure, the
:08:58. > :09:01.enterprise Ireland is encouraging people into the area, the Port
:09:02. > :09:04.authority encourages people into the area, there are vibrant businesses
:09:05. > :09:10.doing good work in the supply chain servicing big companies like Valero.
:09:11. > :09:13.If miracle's closure was the earthquake the main port
:09:14. > :09:18.engineering's closure is one of the shock waves, shock waves still being
:09:19. > :09:25.felt in Pembroke Dock. Sad, so close to Christmas. What are people going
:09:26. > :09:28.to do? I just feel so sad for Pembroke Dock. . Very good with
:09:29. > :09:32.Christmas around the corner. There is not a lot of money in the town
:09:33. > :09:37.anyway so this is really not going to help. The administrators begin
:09:38. > :09:40.the work of trying to find ways of saving the business average council
:09:41. > :09:44.and the Welsh government are planning a job event next week for
:09:45. > :09:45.those remaining members of staff the wait goes on. They are feeling the
:09:46. > :09:47.worst. Cardiff Crown Court has heard
:09:48. > :09:49.how a son killed his mother with a chainsaw
:09:50. > :09:51.while she was hanging Robert Owens attacked
:09:52. > :09:54.75-year-old Iris Owens, after a row at their family
:09:55. > :09:56.home in Ystrad Mynach, Owens, who's 47, has

:10:00. > :10:09.deported to Afghanistan, after a government minister
:10:10. > :10:11.intervened in his case just Nineteen year old Bashir Naderi has

:10:25. > :10:29.at a later date once A former head teacher
:10:30. > :10:35.at a Ceredigion primary school has admitted seven counts
:10:36. > :10:38.of misconduct at a fitness to Helen Hopkins, who worked
:10:39. > :10:42.in Synod Inn, and admitted she'd taken money intended for books,
:10:43. > :10:45.Christmas cards and the school She also admitted leaving I-O-U
:10:46. > :10:51.notes in the school cash box, she denies taking the money
:10:52. > :10:58.for personal use. A Swansea MP has made an impassioned
:10:59. > :11:01.plea to the Government to scrap Carolyn Harris, says,
:11:02. > :11:06.she simply couldn't afford the costs surrounding the funeral of her eight
:11:07. > :11:08.year old son, Martin, Twenty-five years on,
:11:09. > :11:12.she's now backing a Labour campaign calling on the Chancellor to abolish
:11:13. > :11:33.local authority burial charges. Around 5000 youngsters under 16 die
:11:34. > :11:38.every year across the UK, most of them babies. But the cost of burying
:11:39. > :11:42.your loved ones can vary widely. Here, the authority don't charge a
:11:43. > :11:45.fee for the burial costs incurred with children. However many Welsh
:11:46. > :11:50.councils do, in common with others across Britain. When you are about
:11:51. > :11:55.things at a funeral, do you want this and this at what you need? You
:11:56. > :11:59.don't think how much is that going to cost? You just think this is my
:12:00. > :12:05.child, whatever I need to do, whatever I need I will have. Carolyn
:12:06. > :12:10.Harris knows from bitter experience the emotional toll of losing a
:12:11. > :12:14.child. Her son Martin died in a road accident aged just eight back in
:12:15. > :12:18.1989. Friends and family rallied round and help raise money but she
:12:19. > :12:25.still needed a loan to meet the full costs of burying her son in the
:12:26. > :12:29.family plot. The biggest cost was the burial costs because I was
:12:30. > :12:32.reopening a grave which was quite expensive, I can't ever the exact
:12:33. > :12:37.amount. When you see it in the cold light of day written on paper, it
:12:38. > :12:41.looks really cold and you think my God where will I get this money
:12:42. > :12:48.from? Carolyn Harris is now backing a Labour campaign to persuade the
:12:49. > :12:50.Chancellor to scrap burial charges in his upcoming Autumn Statement.
:12:51. > :12:57.For those who charge, the fees raise from a few hundred pounds to around
:12:58. > :13:01.?4000. Nobody expects to bury their child so nobody prepares to bury
:13:02. > :13:06.their child. You can't imagine what that feels like, that pain is
:13:07. > :13:09.absolutely... It is unimaginable. Unless you have been there you can
:13:10. > :13:14.experience it, and it is the only thing we can do to make it slightly
:13:15. > :13:18.more restful for the parent is to not have to worry about the cost of
:13:19. > :13:24.the funeral. It is not something that any mother should ever be
:13:25. > :13:27.worrying about. The MP says that if the Chancellor pledged 10 million
:13:28. > :13:32.towards abolishing the fees it would cost local authorities about ?22,000
:13:33. > :13:33.each. A small price she says to help families at the lowest point.

:13:40. > :13:49.after committing himself to the club until 2022.
:13:50. > :13:56.I fully intend to see out my contract here and obviously in the
:13:57. > :14:00.future, I don't know when I will retire but I am very happy here at
:14:01. > :14:03.the moment and for the next six years I am not looking past that,

:15:01. > :15:03.violence, they are focused on surviving and not on the care of the
:15:04. > :15:08.children so they are often done for neglect. Children are taken into
:15:09. > :15:13.care if they are suffering at risk of significant harm. There are more
:15:14. > :15:17.than five and half children and the number of court orders brought by
:15:18. > :15:23.councils to remove children from their families as increased by 31%
:15:24. > :15:27.compared to last year. Today Katrina is visiting Allison, she was in an
:15:28. > :15:32.abusive relationship with a drug taker. She had four children between
:15:33. > :15:36.the ages of seven and two removed by social services because of the
:15:37. > :15:39.chaotic life. When the social worker turned up to take them I was
:15:40. > :15:43.devastated, one of my children left the house and I had to go and get
:15:44. > :15:48.him because he had run away and he was begging, like, can I just spent
:15:49. > :15:52.nine more days with money? Can I spent ten more days? I want to live
:15:53. > :15:59.with money, things like that. There were a mess, we all wear. 16 of the
:16:00. > :16:03.22 councils told us the largest of the children they had taken from one
:16:04. > :16:08.month. The largest number was 11 children removed. In Newport and run
:16:09. > :16:14.that it was nine. In Gwynedd was eight. Katrina helps women cope with
:16:15. > :16:19.the loss of a child and prevent them having more children removed into
:16:20. > :16:24.care. It is exceptionally tough, it is heart-rending. I have a woman at
:16:25. > :16:30.the moment who initially said that her heart was aching. The other day
:16:31. > :16:39.she said to me, I am in pain from the top of my head with the loss of
:16:40. > :16:45.my children. Can we understand that kind of physical pain that the
:16:46. > :16:48.emotions are causing? There are calls for more to be done to help
:16:49. > :16:52.women break destructive patterns of behaviour is they stop having
:16:53. > :16:56.multiple children removed. One option is the family drug and
:16:57. > :17:00.alcohol Court, an option in England but not in Wales. It works in the
:17:01. > :17:03.same way as a normal family court accepted offers parents and hence
:17:04. > :17:09.help from professionals to make changes. And if they can sort things
:17:10. > :17:13.out then any child can still be removed. The children's Commissioner
:17:14. > :17:16.for Wales police that we need to consider it as an option here and
:17:17. > :17:20.one of the founders of the court agrees. If we had an earthquake in
:17:21. > :17:27.Wales the government would immediately come up with millions of
:17:28. > :17:31.pounds, let's say ?20 million to help the survivors and the people
:17:32. > :17:37.who suffer as a result of an earthquake. The figures on the
:17:38. > :17:42.increase in the number of care proceedings over the last ten years
:17:43. > :17:47.and over the last 12 months are an earthquake around the corner. The
:17:48. > :17:50.Welsh government says it is monitoring the situation and it is
:17:51. > :17:54.working on a national approach to help reduce the numbers of children
:17:55. > :17:56.taken into care. It also says it has a service that provides early
:17:57. > :18:02.interventions to help families including those affected eye drugs

:19:11. > :19:14.will not be a white elephant, this will work. This will work, we
:19:15. > :19:17.already know there is a lot of interest in the development we have
:19:18. > :19:20.here and we're confident that once the building is ready we will have

:20:58. > :21:00.to Sport now here's Claire. Gareth Bale says, it's a dream come

:21:05. > :21:06.reportedly worth more than a ?100 million
:21:07. > :21:08.over the next 6 years. The Welsh forward has won 5
:21:09. > :21:10.trophies since his world record move to Spain,
:21:11. > :21:12.3 years ago. But Bale today admitted,
:21:13. > :21:14.having had a difficult There's some flash photography in
:21:15. > :21:31.Tomos Dafydd's reports. A thumbs up from Gareth Bale after
:21:32. > :21:35.signing one of the biggest deals in world football. The clocking joins
:21:36. > :21:42.three years ago for a then record fee of ?85 million is now betting on
:21:43. > :21:46.him to read another successful year at the Santiago Byrne about. The
:21:47. > :21:50.reason I signed here for so long as I am very happy here and feel more
:21:51. > :21:55.comfortable every year I am here. I'll improving my Spanish, my family
:21:56. > :22:01.is more settled. It is a six-year deal reportedly worth ?108 million
:22:02. > :22:07.after tax. It works out at ?80 million per year, raking in a cool
:22:08. > :22:13.?346,000 per week. Eclipsing the Premier League's top earner. With
:22:14. > :22:19.the new money he could buy more than 1 million Real Madrid shirts with
:22:20. > :22:26.his name on it, and he could afford to buy Swati -- Swansea City

:22:30. > :22:35.behind Barcelona's Lionel Messi and his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo. But
:22:36. > :22:39.his time in the Spanish capital hasn't always been rosy, winning the
:22:40. > :22:43.Champions League in his first season made him an instant hit. But his
:22:44. > :22:47.second season ended without a trophy, Gareth Bale was singled out
:22:48. > :22:50.by the fans and attacked by the media. History tells you when
:22:51. > :22:55.British players travel abroad it is never usually greatly successful but
:22:56. > :23:00.it is something I wanted to try and something I wanted to improve my
:23:01. > :23:03.football and game and obviously I have some great years here.
:23:04. > :23:06.Obviously I had one season where it maybe wasn't the best but I think
:23:07. > :23:10.this was the best season for me, this made me grow up as a player and
:23:11. > :23:15.person and I think gave me more confidence to deal with whatever the
:23:16. > :23:19.thrown at me. The Real Madrid president brought the Welshman to
:23:20. > :23:22.spend three years ago and has long believed Gareth Bale is the man to
:23:23. > :23:27.succeed Cristiano Ronaldo as Real Madrid's best and most marketable
:23:28. > :23:30.player. This is a chance for Gareth Bale to right itself into the
:23:31. > :23:35.history books of the biggest club in the world and win more trophies. Two
:23:36. > :23:38.Champions League in three seasons is not bad at all but if he could
:23:39. > :23:43.extend that and make it three or four or five he would be without
:23:44. > :23:46.doubt a legend at Real Madrid. As Coleman said in the past that
:23:47. > :23:50.they'll is better off staying in Spain. This deal runs out just
:23:51. > :23:52.before his 33rd birthday, and he says he can see himself finishing
:23:53. > :23:55.his career at Real Madrid. Swansea City are in action tonight,

:24:05. > :24:07.and Wilfired Bony could Rugby and Wales will be
:24:08. > :24:14.without captain Sam Warburton for their first Autumn Test
:24:15. > :24:17.against Australia on Saturday. The 28 year old flanker
:24:18. > :24:20.is struggling with a neck injury. There are also big doubts over
:24:21. > :24:23.the fitness of Liam Williams. It means Wales have delayed
:24:24. > :24:25.naming their team until Thursday. Defence Coach Shaun Edwards
:24:26. > :24:38.is hopeful Williams It did look like a serious injury
:24:39. > :24:46.but we are waiting to the last minute with the medics. He will
:24:47. > :24:47.definitely play some part of the CDs over the next month.
:24:48. > :24:50.And we'll bring you that team annoucement on Thursday -
:24:51. > :24:55.We've enjoyed a Halloween treat today.
:24:56. > :25:03.In Trawsgoed the temperature soared to over 22C 72F.
:25:04. > :25:07.10 degrees above average and a new record for Halloween.
:25:08. > :25:09.So if you're heading out this evening.
:25:10. > :25:11.It's going to stay dry and mild but with mist
:25:12. > :25:21.Some low cloud too with drizzle in the north late in the night.
:25:22. > :25:30.Further south where the sky remains clear it will turn chilly.
:25:31. > :25:32.Temperatures in mid Wales dropping as low as 6C.
:25:33. > :25:34.So here's the picture for 8 in the morning.
:25:35. > :25:40.Damp and misty in places too with low cloud.
:25:41. > :25:45.Parts of the south and west brighter and dry with a little sunshine.
:25:46. > :25:47.Now a weak cold front will move south tomorrow.
:25:48. > :25:50.It won't bring much if any rain but it will bring
:25:51. > :26:01.So a few spots of light rain or drizzle will spread south
:26:02. > :26:04.tomorrow but during the afternoon it will dry and brighten-up
:26:05. > :26:09.in the north and west with some sunshine.
