:02:00. > :02:05.Even though he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 20 years ago,
:02:06. > :02:12.Simon from Llantrisant has always tried to live life to the full. He's
:02:13. > :02:18.travelled the world. I've sat with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda,
:02:19. > :02:23.watched humpback whales of Alaska. But those experiences are now just
:02:24. > :02:28.memories. It is a struggle to get showered, to get washed and changed
:02:29. > :02:35.in the morning. Even a simple task like that just completely wipe you
:02:36. > :02:38.out. But he thinks a drug which helps ease muscle spasms could help
:02:39. > :02:44.him. It was recommended for use in the Welsh NHS to under half years
:02:45. > :02:48.ago but Simon blames a row about who pays for it means his doctor has not
:02:49. > :02:54.been able to prescribe it. It is extremely frustrating. I've actually
:02:55. > :03:02.been off work for the last six weeks and the thought that this drug could
:03:03. > :03:08.possibly help me with the spasms to the point where it would enable me
:03:09. > :03:12.to get on with my life a bit easier. Hundreds of new drugs and treatments
:03:13. > :03:16.are developed every year but the NHS can't afford to pay for them all so
:03:17. > :03:20.it is the responsibility of two expert organisations to assess the
:03:21. > :03:23.benefits and the cost. They are called the National Institute for
:03:24. > :03:28.health and care excellence and the all Wales medicines strategy group.
:03:29. > :03:32.If they say no, you either have to be a special case for treatment or
:03:33. > :03:36.pay for it privately. But if they decided treatment is cost-effective,
:03:37. > :03:42.it should be on the NHS as a matter of course. But that doesn't always
:03:43. > :03:45.happen straightaway. There have been significant challenges by health
:03:46. > :03:52.boards in terms of their planning. And there ability to Horizon scan
:03:53. > :03:57.these medicines. I think today perhaps will remove some of the
:03:58. > :04:04.obstacles to the challenges that the health boards found themselves
:04:05. > :04:09.facing in terms of the financial challenges. The Welsh government
:04:10. > :04:12.will give the NHS an extra ?60 million a year to start delivering
:04:13. > :04:16.new medicines within two months while health boards plan how to pay
:04:17. > :04:21.for them over the longer term. If you have a really high cost medicine
:04:22. > :04:24.which is approved, you can then have a timeline with different health
:04:25. > :04:28.boards being able to deliver that medicine. This will mean that there
:04:29. > :04:32.will be a consistent delivery across the country. He also says the system
:04:33. > :04:36.here can be used to treat all conditions and will be fairer than
:04:37. > :04:41.in England and Scotland, where drugs funds are in place but for specific
:04:42. > :04:47.conditions like cancer or rarer illnesses. So ground-breaking stuff?
:04:48. > :04:51.Genuinely ground-breaking. Better than the system in England,
:04:52. > :04:55.Scotland, more effective, and people will receive the proven medication
:04:56. > :05:00.on a much quicker basis. But patients hoping this fund will play
:05:01. > :05:03.for unapproved drugs that could help them will be disappointed. If we
:05:04. > :05:08.simply decided that regardless of the price, anything will be
:05:09. > :05:12.available, we would be very quickly in trouble with our inability to
:05:13. > :05:16.control the drugs budget. But others insist they needs to be other
:05:17. > :05:22.investment. It is that broader ongoing support that people will
:05:23. > :05:26.need from their nurses, from their neurologist, from appointments.
:05:27. > :05:29.Since April this year, 35 new treatments have been approved for
:05:30. > :05:34.use in the Welsh NHS to help patients with conditions ranging
:05:35. > :05:38.from arthritis to HIV. The pace at which new medicines are developed is
:05:39. > :05:40.phenomenal. The problem is that the NHS at times has struggled to keep
:05:41. > :05:41.up. We've reported many times of people
:05:42. > :05:44.moving to England to get drugs that What's the impact of this
:05:45. > :05:53.announcement on them? Many of those stories about patients
:05:54. > :05:59.who wanted access to cancer medicines in particular in England
:06:00. > :06:02.from the English Cancer Drugs Fund, that fund was set up initially as a
:06:03. > :06:06.way for paying for often expensive drugs that had not been approved as
:06:07. > :06:14.cost-effective. But the costs of that fund spiralled. It was changed
:06:15. > :06:18.quite significantly. And now decisions about costs are central to
:06:19. > :06:23.it. The Welsh government tell me if you just look at cancer medicines,
:06:24. > :06:26.for example, if they now get funded through the revised English
:06:27. > :06:30.mechanism, they will also come under the new wealth fund, so there will
:06:31. > :06:33.be a greater degree of parity, although the Welsh government will
:06:34. > :06:38.claim its fund is there as it will be able to pay for speedier access
:06:39. > :06:42.to all kinds of medicines for all kinds of different conditions. But
:06:43. > :06:54.there will be people listening and watching tonight thinking, I have
:06:55. > :06:56.got an illness, I know there is a drug out there, it's very expensive,
:06:57. > :06:59.it's not been approved as cost-effective, will this fund pay
:07:00. > :07:01.for that? The simple answer is no. They have to make a request to
:07:02. > :07:04.another mechanism. It has been criticised as unfair and a postcode
:07:05. > :07:07.lottery. It is being reviewed and the outcome is expected soon.
:07:08. > :07:10.First Minister Carwyn Jones says there is no Plan B if steelworkers
:07:11. > :07:13.reject the current offer being made to them by Tata.
:07:14. > :07:15.The deal includes new commitments for investment at Port Talbot
:07:16. > :07:17.but would also result in cuts to the pension scheme.
:07:18. > :07:20.Plaid Cymru says it's unacceptable and it should be
:07:21. > :07:28.Let's talk to our political editor Nick Servini.
:07:29. > :07:35.Just yesterday, the unions called for politicians to stay out of this.
:07:36. > :07:41.No sign of that today. That's right, and everybody will be aware of the
:07:42. > :07:44.uncertainty surrounding the steel industry in 2016. Tata have given
:07:45. > :07:51.renewed commitments for ?1 billion worth of investments. But the sting
:07:52. > :07:55.in the tail for the steel workers is that there will be cuts to the
:07:56. > :07:59.pension schemes. They will be balloted on this later in the month.
:08:00. > :08:03.Plaid Cymru have been very vocal on this. They say conditions for the
:08:04. > :08:08.steel industry are much better now than they were, these terms are
:08:09. > :08:11.unacceptable, they should be rejected by the staff. That has
:08:12. > :08:18.prompted an indignant response from union officials with a very blunt
:08:19. > :08:22.message, saying to politicians, keep your noses out of it, these are
:08:23. > :08:27.tough personal decisions. What we saw today in the First Minister's
:08:28. > :08:33.Questions of 2017, which Carwyn Jones, not entirely listening to
:08:34. > :08:37.that advice, because while he didn't explicitly urge steelworkers to
:08:38. > :08:41.support the deal, he did say there is no plan B, he did say this is the
:08:42. > :08:46.only deal on the table, and he did say this is the best way of
:08:47. > :08:49.preserving jobs in the sector. He made it abundantly clear that he
:08:50. > :08:54.believes the best deal for the steelworkers is to support this. In
:08:55. > :08:59.truth, it was probably unrealistic to expect the politicians to stay
:09:00. > :09:02.out of this. In other words, steelworkers can expect plenty of
:09:03. > :09:04.people to give them advice now on which way to vote in the weeks
:09:05. > :09:06.ahead. Thank you. More than 20 industrial companies
:09:07. > :09:09.have urged the UK Government to go ahead with the planned ?1.3 billion
:09:10. > :09:11.Swansea Bay tidal lagoon. In a letter to the Financial Times,
:09:12. > :09:15.they say it could start a new era An independent review
:09:16. > :09:19.into the viability of generating electricity from tidal lagoons
:09:20. > :09:22.will be published on Thursday. Here's our economics
:09:23. > :09:34.correspondent Sarah Dickins. This is how Swansea Bay's tidal
:09:35. > :09:38.lagoon might look when it's built. Using the tide, the energy of the
:09:39. > :09:42.moon, to generate power for electricity. Tidal lagoon power
:09:43. > :09:49.wants to build a six mile breakwater wall that will trap water. As the
:09:50. > :09:54.tide falls, it will empty, powering a bank of 16 turbines. The plan is
:09:55. > :10:00.to generate enough electricity to power 155,000 homes for the next 120
:10:01. > :10:04.years. The price tag is ?1.3 billion and the company promises to spend
:10:05. > :10:10.half of that in Wales. It also says they will be 2200 manufacturing and
:10:11. > :10:13.construction jobs. The lagoon was given planning consent 18 months ago
:10:14. > :10:16.but has been held up because of negotiations with the UK Government
:10:17. > :10:21.about the price it will guarantee for the electricity that the lagoon
:10:22. > :10:25.will feed into the National Grid. The Swansea Bay project will be the
:10:26. > :10:30.first of its kind and if it gets the go-ahead, tidal lagoon power wants
:10:31. > :10:34.to build another five lagoons at sites including Cardiff, Newport and
:10:35. > :10:38.Colwyn Bay, which would create 35,000 jobs in Wales. But it is all
:10:39. > :10:43.on hold while ministers wait to hear the results of the independent Henry
:10:44. > :10:45.Review into the economic viability of tidal lagoon power.
:10:46. > :10:46.And the conclusions of that independent review
:10:47. > :10:56.It has been very detailed, it has been going on for months, and their
:10:57. > :11:00.team have talked to people across Wales and the UK about the
:11:01. > :11:04.implications of this new industry, not just for energy generation but
:11:05. > :11:08.how much renewable energy, at what cost, what it means for jobs and
:11:09. > :11:11.what it means for the environment. We'll get the recommendation of the
:11:12. > :11:16.review on Thursday morning and I'm told we will also get a statement
:11:17. > :11:20.from the UK Government. In other words, we will hear what will be
:11:21. > :11:23.happening to the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon and we might well here what
:11:24. > :11:28.would happen to the industry after that because we know that the
:11:29. > :11:33.company behind Swansea wants a network of about six lagoons across
:11:34. > :11:38.the UK as well as things they would be planning abroad. And support a
:11:39. > :11:43.day from 20 companies, writing this letter to the Financial Times. How
:11:44. > :11:48.significant is that? They are 20 industrialists employing more than
:11:49. > :11:53.42,000 people. I think this really shows the level at which industry is
:11:54. > :11:57.wanting to see this happen on many levels. Some will benefit directly
:11:58. > :12:02.from that, of course, but they really feel this is an opportunity
:12:03. > :12:04.for the UK. One of the companies is one I have spoken to before in
:12:05. > :12:09.Pembrokeshire that has really suffered from the decline of oil and
:12:10. > :12:13.sees this as an opportunity for a new industry. These businesses that
:12:14. > :12:17.have been tendering for work and have been talking to Charles Hendry,
:12:18. > :12:21.they stretch the breath of Wales, friend temperature to Chepstow, and
:12:22. > :12:25.also in North Wales as well. We need to remember that it would still need
:12:26. > :12:28.a Marine license and there are significant lobbies in the
:12:29. > :12:30.environmental and the fish lobby who are not happy with the proposals.
:12:31. > :12:32.Thank you. A community regeneration
:12:33. > :12:33.charity in Aberavon has had its Welsh Government funding
:12:34. > :12:35.suspended whilst police investigate allegations
:12:36. > :12:38.of a misuse of public funds. NSA Afan, based in Sandfields
:12:39. > :12:41.in Port Talbot, is being investigated by South Wales Police,
:12:42. > :12:44.who have arrested and bailed a 35-year-old woman from the area
:12:45. > :12:49.on suspicion of theft. Work begins this week on a pump

:12:59. > :13:01.storms breached sea defences. It's the third and final phase
:13:02. > :13:05.of more than a million pounds of improvements by Denbighshire

:13:38. > :13:39.built at Cardiff Airport The plan was announced as a rise
:13:40. > :13:43.in passenger numbers Four years ago, amid falling
:13:44. > :13:46.numbers, the airport was bought by the Welsh Government
:13:47. > :13:48.for ?52 million. Our business correspondent Brian
:13:49. > :14:01.Meechan is there for us tonight. There aren't that many people here
:14:02. > :14:04.tonight, Jamie, so science perhaps that there is still room for
:14:05. > :14:08.improvement. Small airports in recent years have really struggled
:14:09. > :14:14.and we have seen some go to close down. Such as Blackpool and
:14:15. > :14:19.Plymouth, where they have closed down commercial flights. Other
:14:20. > :14:22.airports have really succeeded, such as Manchester and Edinburgh. The
:14:23. > :14:26.question is whether the Welsh government intervention can turn
:14:27. > :14:28.Cardiff from a struggling airport to a larger, more successful one. There
:14:29. > :14:31.was more positive news today. Few passengers using Cardiff Airport
:14:32. > :14:33.in 2016 received a welcome like the national football team
:14:34. > :14:35.returning from the Euros but more and more travellers went
:14:36. > :14:40.through its doors last year. Cardiff Airport has seen
:14:41. > :14:44.an increase of 16% in passenger That means over 1.3 million
:14:45. > :14:52.travellers in 2016. That had an impact of over
:14:53. > :14:58.?100 million on the local economy. Those heading to sunnier shores
:14:59. > :15:02.today say they have noticed improvements from the investment
:15:03. > :15:07.at the airport but want to see more. I don't know how much
:15:08. > :15:12.is here when you go through now. It has changed from three
:15:13. > :15:18.or four years ago. It's starting to be
:15:19. > :15:23.a lot more places to go. We had to go from Bristol other
:15:24. > :15:27.years because there has not been any The current terminal is more than 45
:15:28. > :15:36.years old and in reality it hasn't fundamentally changed much
:15:37. > :15:40.from what it looks like today. The limitations of the current
:15:41. > :15:43.building is one of the reasons the airport is planning to build
:15:44. > :15:46.a new one in the next ten years. We have invested heavily,
:15:47. > :15:53.we have significantly improved the experience and the facilities
:15:54. > :15:55.here but there is a limit to what we can do so we have got
:15:56. > :15:59.long-term ambitious plans for the business and really
:16:00. > :16:02.to enable us to get to where we want to be,
:16:03. > :16:06.a new replacement terminal will be a significant part of the master
:16:07. > :16:09.plan as we go forward. The airport is paying
:16:10. > :16:12.back loans at commercial rates on money borrowed
:16:13. > :16:15.from the Welsh Government It has already started discussions
:16:16. > :16:19.with state-owned investment funds and pension funds
:16:20. > :16:22.to take a share in the business which would help fund
:16:23. > :16:24.the new terminal. But what would a private
:16:25. > :16:27.investor want to see? Private investors are going to want
:16:28. > :16:31.to see that they are going to get a return on their investment
:16:32. > :16:33.so it's imperative that airport operators are able to provide
:16:34. > :16:37.evidence that there is not only a current customer base
:16:38. > :16:40.but that this base is going to be sustained, that there is a real
:16:41. > :16:43.will for the airlines to operate These are the sort of requirements
:16:44. > :16:48.the operator will need to give Cardiff Airport has a target
:16:49. > :16:55.of 2 million passengers a year It will have to constantly
:16:56. > :17:00.improve what it's offering in order to achieve that,
:17:01. > :17:16.given the range of other There has been a debate ultimately
:17:17. > :17:22.about what should happen if the Welsh government ownership is able
:17:23. > :17:25.to turn this around. I spoke to the economy secretary today, Ken Skates,
:17:26. > :17:30.and he dismissed any idea of it being sold on to the private sector
:17:31. > :17:36.completely, or even giving up 50-52 the private sector. He said it will
:17:37. > :17:39.continue to be driven by the Welsh government, but he said he will be
:17:40. > :17:43.happy to see investment coming in from the private sector, those
:17:44. > :17:45.pension funds in particular, if that means being able to help with the
:17:46. > :17:47.infrastructure and the facilities. Much more to come before

:20:03. > :20:06.problems will still get prioritised in busy departments but for everyone
:20:07. > :20:09.else, the power to keep waiting times to a minimum
:20:10. > :20:12.could be at your fingertips. Tonight's sport now.
:20:13. > :20:14.Here's Tomos. It's the toughest sporting
:20:15. > :20:17.event in the world - sailing around the globe non-stop
:20:18. > :20:21.single-handed with no help. Alex Thomson from Bangor is doing
:20:22. > :20:24.just that and is contention to win Tonight, after 65 days alone
:20:25. > :20:30.on the ocean, he's in second place, More people have been in outer space
:20:31. > :20:39.and up Mount Everest than have And in the vast oceans, a Welshman
:20:40. > :20:45.is hoping to make history - become the first outside France
:20:46. > :20:49.to win the Vendee Globe. You certainly feel isolated
:20:50. > :20:52.when you are down here. There's nobody to rescue you,
:20:53. > :20:54.nobody to help you, The only things around
:20:55. > :20:59.you are birds and albatrosses. 29 boats set off from the north-west
:21:00. > :21:04.of France on November the 6th. Those that do will have travelled
:21:05. > :21:11.28,000 miles across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans,
:21:12. > :21:14.before getting back to the Atlantic It's remarkable that Alex Thomson
:21:15. > :21:23.is still in this race. Yesterday morning, I was dozing
:21:24. > :21:27.and there was an almighty bang, While in the lead, he hit something
:21:28. > :21:34.and the boat was badly damaged. Alex thought he would limp
:21:35. > :21:39.home in tenth but he has clawed his way back,
:21:40. > :21:43.100 miles behind the leader with less than 3,000 miles
:21:44. > :21:47.to the finish line. Alex Thomson's boat is built
:21:48. > :21:50.for speed, not for comfort. He doesn't have a toilet,
:21:51. > :21:53.no kitchen either, It looks like something
:21:54. > :22:00.you might give your baby. Alex needs to eat up
:22:01. > :22:03.to 7,000 calories a day. He sleeps no more than
:22:04. > :22:07.20 minutes at a time. The reason, when he's sleeping,
:22:08. > :22:10.the boat goes more slowly. It's nine weeks since Alex last
:22:11. > :22:17.saw his wife and two young children # Crashing through the waves,
:22:18. > :22:23.in a 16 mono hull. # Not a soul in sight,
:22:24. > :22:27.but the day is never dull.# There have been other
:22:28. > :22:31.high points too. This was captured by one of Alex's
:22:32. > :22:40.rivals off Cape Town. Alex Thomson says it has been
:22:41. > :22:44.like a war on the water at times He's completed 90% of the race
:22:45. > :22:49.and this week we'll see whether a sailor from Bangor
:22:50. > :22:53.can overcome the odds and win the hardest sailing race
:22:54. > :22:58.of them all. A date for your diary,
:22:59. > :23:01.and Lee Selby will defend his world IBF featherweight title
:23:02. > :23:03.for the third time against Jonathan Barros on January
:23:04. > :23:10.the 28th in America. Selby, who's from Barry,
:23:11. > :23:12.wants to emulate the likes of Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe
:23:13. > :23:16.and win in Las Vegas. After a 12 month absence,
:23:17. > :23:19.Elfyn Evans from Dolgolleau will compete in all 13 rounds
:23:20. > :23:21.of this year's World The first round gets underway
:23:22. > :23:27.at Monte Carlo later this month. The woman who spearheaded a campaign
:23:28. > :23:34.to open the first children's hospice Suzanne Goodall founded
:23:35. > :23:40.Ty Hafan in 1999 - a centre which has supported
:23:41. > :23:42.hundreds of families For the last 18 years,
:23:43. > :23:49.Ty Hafan has been looking after life-limited children,
:23:50. > :23:53.young people and their families, ensuring they make the most
:23:54. > :23:57.of every precious moment. And it was all made possible by this
:23:58. > :24:02.woman, Suzanne Goodall. After retiring as an occupational
:24:03. > :24:06.therapist, she spent the next 11 years realising her vision to set
:24:07. > :24:11.up a children's hospice for Wales. Princess Diana became Ty Hafan's
:24:12. > :24:15.first patron and persuaded Pavarotti to give a concert to raise money
:24:16. > :24:18.to build it in 1995. Thankfully, with all the wonderful
:24:19. > :24:26.people who have helped us along the way and very excellent,
:24:27. > :24:30.committed staff and all our friends, Today in the chapel at Ty Hafan,
:24:31. > :24:37.a solitary candle was lit She will be remembered for her huge
:24:38. > :24:42.compassion for families but very much making sure that children
:24:43. > :24:45.and families have the service She's in the fabric of the building,
:24:46. > :24:52.in everything we do. This really will be her legacy,
:24:53. > :24:56.that she has supported paediatric palliative care and brought it
:24:57. > :25:00.forward so much in Wales. There are butterflies
:25:01. > :25:02.dotted around the hospice near Barry that she founded,
:25:03. > :25:05.a metaphor of the short but beautiful life they manage
:25:06. > :25:08.to create for the children here. Ty Hafan is now in talks
:25:09. > :25:11.with the Royal College of Nursing in Wales
:25:12. > :25:13.to create an annual award that would recognise
:25:14. > :25:17.excellence in nurses working Suzanne Goodall, who's
:25:18. > :25:23.died at the age of 95. Sue's got the forecast
:25:24. > :25:39.tonight and talk of snow Our weather has been fairly quiet of
:25:40. > :25:43.late but by the end of the week wintry weather on the way. It will
:25:44. > :25:48.turn colder with the risk of rain, sleet and snow for some parts of
:25:49. > :25:55.Wales. Tonight, some dry spells, the odd spot of patchy rain, mist and
:25:56. > :26:01.fog pick-up overnight. Not too cold at 6-8 C. These are fairly frequent
:26:02. > :26:05.-- friends and they clear. The winds turn more north-westerly. These
:26:06. > :26:12.isobars are close together, signalling colder winds. Tomorrow, a
:26:13. > :26:17.few early showers. They should clear. Turning dry and brighter but
:26:18. > :26:21.the emphasis is on the wind. Very strong north-westerly. They could
:26:22. > :26:26.reach gale force along the coast. Six Celsius in Gwyneth Glyn ten in
:26:27. > :26:31.Cardiff. But the whinger will make it feel colder than that. Tomorrow
:26:32. > :26:36.largely dry but as we get into the cold air, a chance any showers could
:26:37. > :26:42.turn wintry, mainly over high ground, but temperatures starting to
:26:43. > :26:46.drop. And then the pressure chart shows this frontal wave coming in
:26:47. > :26:50.from the south-west on Thursday falling mainly as rain but where it
:26:51. > :26:55.meets the cold air, snow is possible. But huge uncertainty about
:26:56. > :26:59.the position of this system. So this is a snapshot for Thursday. Don't
:27:00. > :27:03.take the graphics too literally. Some brighter spells but the
:27:04. > :27:06.likelihood of showers for some and where the front meets the colder
:27:07. > :27:13.air, a Met Office warning that any showers could be a wintry mix of
:27:14. > :27:19.rain, sleet and snow. Very hard to pinpoint but it will be cold and
:27:20. > :27:24.windy. For the end of the week, we keep those north-westerly winds. A
:27:25. > :27:26.coming from Iceland. These friends bring an ongoing risk of wintry
:27:27. > :27:31.showers. Also the risk of thunder. I'll have an update
:27:32. > :27:33.for you here at 8pm and again after the BBC News
:27:34. > :27:37.at 10pm. From all of us on the
:27:38. > :27:40.programme, good evening.
