:00:15. > :00:17.investment to meet passenger demand over the next decade.
:00:18. > :00:25.First day back in work, not noticed any issues today. It was better
:00:26. > :00:27.today. A little bit late but getting back and forth to work over
:00:28. > :00:29.Christmas was difficult. Bird flu is confirmed in a domestic
:00:30. > :00:31.flock in Carmarthenshire. Tonight, a surveillance zone
:00:32. > :00:34.is in place to contain the outbreak. We're on Gower, once rock
:00:35. > :00:36.solid Labour territory. Can the party regain once safe seats
:00:37. > :00:44.from Tony Blair's era? The council thought to be the first
:00:45. > :00:48.in the UK to have handed out more fines for litter
:00:49. > :00:53.than for parking offences. And beavers haven't been seen
:00:54. > :00:55.in our rivers for hundreds of years. A leading transport expert says
:00:56. > :01:18.Cardiff's Central Station urgently needs to expand if it s to cope
:01:19. > :01:20.with predicted demand which could see passenger numbers
:01:21. > :01:25.rise to 23 million a year. Professor Stuart Cole's comments
:01:26. > :01:28.come on the day that the station saw the official opening
:01:29. > :01:31.of a new platform, but he says as the Welsh capital continues
:01:32. > :01:50.to grow its transport infrastructure It was back to work for commuters
:01:51. > :01:53.today after the festive break. The train services themselves were back
:01:54. > :01:58.on track after engineering and signalling works which have caused
:01:59. > :02:02.delays over the past week. First day back in work and I've not noticed
:02:03. > :02:07.any issues today. Little do better today. A little bit late getting
:02:08. > :02:11.back and forth to work over Christmas was difficult. For some
:02:12. > :02:14.passengers the first journey of the New Year terminated at a brand-new
:02:15. > :02:21.platform at Cardiff Central. This is the new platform eight designed to
:02:22. > :02:26.ease congestion. But with commuter numbers set to rise by 6% a year or
:02:27. > :02:31.next decade many are saying at least two new platforms are needed. With
:02:32. > :02:35.huge commercial developments and the construction right on the doorstep
:02:36. > :02:38.of this transport hub thousands will be applied in the shiny new offices
:02:39. > :02:43.and many of those extra workers will want to travel by train. At present
:02:44. > :02:47.there are 30 million passengers expected to go through the stage
:02:48. > :02:51.this year. I Twenty20 three that will have risen to 23 million. That
:02:52. > :02:56.rate of growth requires and it banding station. If it not expanded
:02:57. > :03:01.we will get the kind of queueing with pad in the past outside Cardiff
:03:02. > :03:06.Central station and will have overcrowding on platforms. With room
:03:07. > :03:10.to expand a short this book -- supplied redevelopment of this
:03:11. > :03:15.brewery site could provide new platform space. Network Rail accept
:03:16. > :03:21.new platforms are needed and are working to get it thundered. We are
:03:22. > :03:25.working through options and the brewery is one of those options. We
:03:26. > :03:30.don't know numbers of platforms but we have options and we're working to
:03:31. > :03:32.see with the Welsh Government and with our customers to understand
:03:33. > :03:40.what the capacity will be in the future. For passengers more pressing
:03:41. > :03:48.demands is the cost of tickets which rose this week by nearly 2% in
:03:49. > :03:52.Wales. That was less than the drug Britain but still prompted a
:03:53. > :03:57.demonstration. We have seen a steady increase in fares year after year
:03:58. > :04:03.and the trains get more crowded. All the investment into the railways is
:04:04. > :04:09.actually public money. The latest improvements in Cardiff will make
:04:10. > :04:12.things easier for the 265,000 passengers that currently use this
:04:13. > :04:18.station every week. But the expansion in infrastructure may
:04:19. > :04:20.struggle to keep pace with the expansion in passenger numbers. The
:04:21. > :04:23.UK Government says it is delivering the biggest rail modernisation
:04:24. > :04:25.programme for more than a century. Bird flu has been found
:04:26. > :04:28.in a domestic flock of chickens The chief veterinary officer
:04:29. > :04:31.for Wales confirmed the H5N8 strain of Avian flu was discovered
:04:32. > :04:34.in a back yard in Pontyberem It's the same strain found
:04:35. > :04:38.in a wild duck in Llanelli Our reporter Teleri Glyn Jones joins
:04:39. > :04:57.us now from Pontyberem. The Chief Veterinary Officer
:04:58. > :05:04.announced today the strain of bird flu that is H5N8 has been found in a
:05:05. > :05:09.flock of chickens and ducks kept in a backyard here in Pontyberem in
:05:10. > :05:13.Carmarthenshire. The flock was killed today before confirmation
:05:14. > :05:18.because there was a strong suspicion the birds were infected. Since then
:05:19. > :05:22.a protection zone and a ten kilometres surveillance zone has
:05:23. > :05:27.been set up around this area in order to stop the disease from
:05:28. > :05:31.Reading. It is this team strange -- strain found in a while to and
:05:32. > :05:37.Llanelli before Christmas and in turkeys on a farm in Lincolnshire
:05:38. > :05:45.earlier in December. Shoppers will be concerned on hearing this. What
:05:46. > :05:50.the advice following the discovery? The risk to public health from the
:05:51. > :05:57.virus itself is very low and the food standard agency has made it
:05:58. > :06:00.clear there is no risk to food safety. Poultry products and eggs
:06:01. > :06:05.are safe. However the chief vet has stressed that the keepers must be
:06:06. > :06:11.responsible and they should practice the very highest standards of
:06:12. > :06:15.bio-security. Even when birds are housed there is still a risk of
:06:16. > :06:20.infection and vision avoid any contact with wild birds. Everything
:06:21. > :06:24.should be disinfected and moving poultry should be kept to a minimum.

:07:21. > :07:24.Claims the Labour party is "too weak" to win a majority at the next
:07:25. > :07:28.general election are "utter nonsense", according
:07:29. > :07:35.Jo Stevens was responding to a report by the left-leaning
:07:36. > :07:38.Fabian Society which said Labour has "no chance" of winning more
:07:39. > :07:44.Well in the meantime, the incoming chair of Welsh Labour
:07:45. > :07:47.has told BBC Wales the party won't make any headway
:07:48. > :07:59.Here's our political reporter, Cemlyn Davies.
:08:00. > :08:05.The Gower constituency was always a rock-solid Labour fortress. The
:08:06. > :08:09.party held the Parliamentary seat for more than 100 years before the
:08:10. > :08:15.Conservatives won it by just 27 votes two years ago. This is the
:08:16. > :08:20.kind of area Labour will have to take back if it wants to win the
:08:21. > :08:24.next general election. But today's report says the party has no chance
:08:25. > :08:27.of securing a majority in the Commons and it should look instead
:08:28. > :08:33.to govern with the help of other left of centre parties. As it's done
:08:34. > :08:38.in the Welsh assembly. We've got a long way to go. I'm not saying they
:08:39. > :08:43.will never get in power but not in the next ten years. The problem lies
:08:44. > :08:49.with Jeremy Corbyn. I just don't think he's the right leader. We will
:08:50. > :08:57.have to wait and see. No chance whatsoever. We are well behind in
:08:58. > :09:01.the opinion polls. We have a lot of ground to make up. But the important
:09:02. > :09:05.thing is to realise that it can be done. What we need to do is not be
:09:06. > :09:10.defeatist. We need to recognise that if we have the right policies and
:09:11. > :09:14.the right attitude and the right enthusiasm we can win the next
:09:15. > :09:18.election. 20 years ago Labour knew all about winning seats. Here is the
:09:19. > :09:23.then leader Tony Blair campaigning in Cardiff, fortnight before his
:09:24. > :09:30.party swept to victory winning 34 seats in Wales. That figure fell to
:09:31. > :09:34.25 out of 42 years ago. Before Labour's couldn't leader was
:09:35. > :09:40.elected. That can Jeremy Corbyn turn things around? The incoming chair of
:09:41. > :09:44.Welsh Labour told me this report is a fair reflection of the party at UK
:09:45. > :09:47.level and he doesn't think Labour will make any headway and the Jeremy
:09:48. > :09:54.Corbyn. Others of course will disagree. It's overly pessimistic.
:09:55. > :10:00.First of all we've got about 33% of the electorate to go for love not
:10:01. > :10:06.turned out to vote. That is part of Jeremy Clarkson appeal. Can Labour
:10:07. > :10:11.win an election in the Jeremy Corbyn? Yes. The New Year has
:10:12. > :10:16.brought familiar questions and doubts for Labour. Make's local
:10:17. > :10:21.elections will provide another test of the party's hopes.
:10:22. > :10:25.Wrexham Council is thought to be the first in the UK to have
:10:26. > :10:26.collected more fines for littering than parking offences.
:10:27. > :10:29.More than 3,000 fixed penalty tickets were issued in the past six
:10:30. > :10:32.months as part of the council's zero tolerance approach to litter.
:10:33. > :10:34.Despite claims from critics that enforcement officers
:10:35. > :10:43.are over-zealous, the authority says the aim is to keep Wrexham tidy.
:10:44. > :10:45.Cleaning up the streets or dirty tricks?
:10:46. > :10:47.Opinion is divided in Wrexham about the way the council chooses
:10:48. > :10:52.Since last April it's employed Kingdom Environmental Protection
:10:53. > :10:57.to issue ?75 fixed penalty notices to anyone seen dropping litter.
:10:58. > :11:00.Dog fouling and discarded cigarette butts are the most common reasons
:11:01. > :11:03.for the fines but some say the council's zero tolerance
:11:04. > :11:18.It's happened to me. I open the packet and it was windy and the wind
:11:19. > :11:23.took it out of my hand and the officer saw it and hit me with a ?75
:11:24. > :11:26.fine. It's good to keep the Tarantino and tidy but I have
:11:27. > :11:28.watched them operating and they are hiding around corners waiting and
:11:29. > :11:39.pouncing. 3,500 litter penalties have
:11:40. > :11:41.been issued since April, raising three times as much
:11:42. > :11:43.as parking fines. The council says the net income
:11:44. > :11:46.from the fines is ?30,000 a year as not all are paid and the aim
:11:47. > :11:53.is to keep the town tidy Litter is later whether it is dog
:11:54. > :11:55.fouling or Bill receipts or cigarette litter or chewing gum.
:11:56. > :12:01.It's all classed as litter under the act. If it is accidental we would
:12:02. > :12:07.expect some lenience but officers have taken a zero tolerance approach
:12:08. > :12:08.and I do believe the enforcement mechanisms we have in place is
:12:09. > :12:11.working. The council is inviting tenders
:12:12. > :12:13.for a two year extension Kevin Critchley runs Eagles Meadow
:12:14. > :12:16.Shopping Centre in Wrexham. He says a gentler approach
:12:17. > :12:26.to rubbish disposal has The suggestion on the guidelines and
:12:27. > :12:31.the approach we take is to approach people and ask them will they pick
:12:32. > :12:36.it up. Usually people say sorry I wasn't thinking and pick it up. We
:12:37. > :12:38.also have done a lot of work where people have dropped litter and put
:12:39. > :12:43.bins where the litter goes. Debate will continue over
:12:44. > :12:45.whether the carrot or stick The council say there's never
:12:46. > :12:49.an excuse to drop litter and facing Others believe that's just rubbish
:12:50. > :12:53.and persistent offenders Still to come on tonight's programme
:12:54. > :12:59.before 7.00pm: He's worked at some
:13:00. > :13:02.of the biggest clubs in the world. Now, Paul Clement prepares
:13:03. > :13:04.for the job of rescuing Swansea City And tributes to the man who founded
:13:05. > :13:14.one of the country's They haven't been seen in our rivers
:13:15. > :13:24.for hundreds of years but beavers could once again become
:13:25. > :13:29.a common sight. Wildlife experts in Wales are hoping
:13:30. > :13:32.to release ten beavers at an undisclosed location
:13:33. > :13:36.in South Wales this year. In Scotland, beavers have been
:13:37. > :13:56.successfully reintroduced and given From a distance this looks like
:13:57. > :14:00.ordinary marshland but on closer inspection this enclosure is home to
:14:01. > :14:04.a couple of beavers. It's a small project run in Machynlleth but we
:14:05. > :14:09.could now be a step closer to seeing beavers in the wild here. Wildlife
:14:10. > :14:13.trust Wales has applied to release ten beavers into the wild at an
:14:14. > :14:19.undisclosed location somewhere in South Wales. It could happen as soon
:14:20. > :14:23.as this year. We have a breeding pair we hope and they are getting on
:14:24. > :14:26.really well. They are enclosed in now because beavers are not allowed
:14:27. > :14:31.to live in Wales freed up until very soon hopefully. We are hoping our
:14:32. > :14:35.kits might be part of the reintroduction programme. In
:14:36. > :14:39.Scotland following a five-year trial the government has given the species
:14:40. > :14:44.protected Asus meaning they are back the good. In Devon couple of pairs
:14:45. > :14:54.established there is hard kits last year. Beavers were native to Wales.
:14:55. > :14:57.We are getting European beavers and bringing them over and we have to
:14:58. > :15:00.make sure they are held in captivity to make sure they are healthy and
:15:01. > :15:07.not going to spread any disease and make sure they are healthy animals.
:15:08. > :15:11.But not everyone is happy. Farmers and anglers have raised concerns
:15:12. > :15:15.beavers damaged the landscape and fish migration routes. The original
:15:16. > :15:20.science we were prevented with suggested they wouldn't build dams
:15:21. > :15:25.and travel very far but we now know that is not the case. The evidence
:15:26. > :15:29.in Scotland is they can do considerable damage. The species
:15:30. > :15:33.were handed to extinction here in the 16th century but a licence for
:15:34. > :15:38.their release in the wild could mark a reversal in fortunes after an
:15:39. > :15:41.absence for centuries. Natural Resources Wales said it would have
:15:42. > :15:43.to consider the pact on existing wildlife and land use before making
:15:44. > :15:47.a final decision. It's 40 years since Wales's first,
:15:48. > :15:49.and only, national Welsh language Radio Cymru went on air
:15:50. > :15:53.on January 3rd 1977. While it has a loyal listenership,
:15:54. > :15:56.a fall in its audience over recent years has led to calls for a second
:15:57. > :15:59.Welsh language station to be created But it's also facing challenges
:16:00. > :16:05.from digital platforms, and the changing habits
:16:06. > :16:07.of its listeners. Our arts and media correspondent
:16:08. > :16:27.Huw Thomas reports. Since 1977 Radio Cymru has given a
:16:28. > :16:31.voice to Welsh speaking Wales on the wireless. Over four decades its
:16:32. > :16:37.focus on Welsh, music, news and information has survived, changing
:16:38. > :16:41.tastes and fashions. And it's launched the careers of broadcasters
:16:42. > :16:44.like Betty Georgiou has been with the station since it started and now
:16:45. > :16:52.thinks this should be a second Radio Cymru channel. We wanted to prove we
:16:53. > :16:56.were as good a broadcasters as those working through the medium of
:16:57. > :17:00.endless. We've only got one service and it's not good enough really. We
:17:01. > :17:07.should have two channels without a doubt. The future is the focus for
:17:08. > :17:12.Betsan Powys who as editor has overseen experiments with temporary
:17:13. > :17:16.digital stations and brought in new presenters. It's in response to
:17:17. > :17:21.falling audience members with the total of noon every week dropping to
:17:22. > :17:24.just over 100,000. The challenge is can Radio Cymru change in the right
:17:25. > :17:28.way and that the right times to ensure it still has an audience and
:17:29. > :17:34.if it doesn't change then something is wrong. It should change but you
:17:35. > :17:40.shouldn't underestimate the challenge of change at a time when
:17:41. > :17:45.that core audience that has been so loyal to Radio Cymru for 40 years,
:17:46. > :17:49.we should not forget them either. On a Radio Cymru has held its ground as
:17:50. > :17:54.the only national Welsh language station and while some listeners
:17:55. > :17:58.have trusted away the BBC has avoided introducing any radical
:17:59. > :18:02.changes. But the language campaigners who first called for the
:18:03. > :18:08.creation of Radio Cymru now want far greater choice and not all of it in
:18:09. > :18:13.the hands of the BBC. The only Ansa is devolving broadcasting to Wales
:18:14. > :18:18.because we know what we want and we know what we need and it's much more
:18:19. > :18:22.than one radio station and on TV channel through the medium of Welsh.
:18:23. > :18:26.Celebrations in the studios today and plenty to shout about for a
:18:27. > :18:32.station that has inspired other minority language radio services in
:18:33. > :18:36.the UK and further afield. But change in technology and in the
:18:37. > :18:39.habits of listeners mean there are plenty of challenges ahead if Radio
:18:40. > :18:41.Cymru is to thrive for another 40 years.
:18:42. > :18:43.Football and the man tasked with reviving
:18:44. > :18:46.the fortunes of Swansea City will watch his new side at Crystal
:18:47. > :18:50.Paul Clement, the former Bayern Munich assistant manager,
:18:51. > :18:53.has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Swans who are bottom
:18:54. > :19:06.The latter half of 2016 has been one to forget for Swansea City with just
:19:07. > :19:10.three wins from 19 games. But New Year and a fresh start at the
:19:11. > :19:14.Liberty Stadium as Paul Clement becomes the club's third head coach
:19:15. > :19:21.this season. I could have stayed at Bayern Munich but I've chosen to
:19:22. > :19:26.come into a challenging situation and it excites me to do it. That's
:19:27. > :19:31.the attitude I want the players to have. It's a big task but it can be
:19:32. > :19:35.done. The most important thing is to focus on some of the smaller details
:19:36. > :19:41.regarding performances. Having enjoyed modest success as a
:19:42. > :19:43.non-league player it's as a culture that Paul Clement's area has
:19:44. > :19:48.blossomed. He was appointed assistant manager at Chelsea by
:19:49. > :19:53.Carlo Ancelotti as they went on to win the Premier League. The pair
:19:54. > :20:01.have also worked together at Paris St Germain and Real Madrid. They won
:20:02. > :20:07.the Champions League there. This season they took over at Bayern
:20:08. > :20:11.Munich. His sole job as a manager in his own right ended in
:20:12. > :20:14.disappointment despite leading Derby County to play-off contention the
:20:15. > :20:18.championship he was shown the door last fed here. Paul Clement was one
:20:19. > :20:22.of the contenders for the top job there back in October when Bob
:20:23. > :20:27.Bradley was appointed instead. He became the Premier League's first
:20:28. > :20:30.American manager but Bradley fails to make an impact and Swansea City
:20:31. > :20:36.remain rooted to the foot of the table, four points adrift of
:20:37. > :20:39.relegation safety. But one former Swansea City player believes the new
:20:40. > :20:45.head coach still has time to put things right. It's up to him now. He
:20:46. > :20:49.has two identify what kind of way he wants to get in and the board and
:20:50. > :20:52.the fans have got to get behind him. At the moment they are four points
:20:53. > :20:57.away. A massive game tonight against Crystal Palace. If they win that
:20:58. > :21:04.they are only one point away from getting out of trouble. No point
:21:05. > :21:07.pushing the panic button yet. As fans gathered this morning ahead of
:21:08. > :21:13.the journey for tonight's match many are hopeful that he is the man to
:21:14. > :21:16.turn their season around. He is probably the one person who is
:21:17. > :21:20.likely to take us back to the old way of playing. I am hopeful. What
:21:21. > :21:26.we needed somebody give our boys confidence. We have got good players
:21:27. > :21:30.but in any job if you lose your confidence it makes it harder.
