An independent review backs the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon

project, which could create two thousand jobs.

We have an opportunity now for the UK to use its formidable skills to

start a new global industry. But there remains concern

over the impact it So how much closer tonight

on new plans which could see In an exclusive interview,

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tells us allowing Wales

:00:54.:00:59.

to set its own immigration rules If you set up Welsh limits on

:01:00.:01:15.

immigration or started the same thing for English regions would you

:01:16.:01:19.

then restrict the movement of those people within the UK?

:01:20.:01:22.

Network bosses meet frustrated customers and politicians to see how

:01:23.:01:27.

And snow has fallen in some places but ice could be

:01:28.:01:30.

We're live with the gritters as they prepare to head out.

:01:31.:01:40.

The Swansea Bay tidal lagoon should go ahead,

:01:41.:01:44.

The Hendry Review, commissioned by the UK Government,

:01:45.:01:48.

says it would make a "strong contribution" to the energy supply

:01:49.:01:51.

When built, it would generate enough electricity to power 155,000 homes

:01:52.:01:56.

The price tag for the project is ?1.3 billion.

:01:57.:02:04.

The company says it would create more than 2,200 manufacturing

:02:05.:02:07.

But the UK Government still needs to agree to a deal.

:02:08.:02:15.

Here's our Economics Correspondent, Sarah Dickins.

:02:16.:02:35.

A designer 's vision which is now more likely to happen. And sing the

:02:36.:02:43.

energy of the tides. The report from the Hendry review recommends the

:02:44.:02:45.

Swansea tidal lagoon goes ahead. The man behind it is ecstatic. It was

:02:46.:02:51.

better than we expected. It was brilliant. It is such a watershed

:02:52.:02:57.

for us. It said let's start tidal lagoons, let's start with Swansea

:02:58.:03:02.

and let it on with it now. As the tides ebb and flow so the lagoon

:03:03.:03:07.

will generate electricity. They would be 16 turbines using the

:03:08.:03:13.

energy as the tide goes in and out. It would also generate hundreds of

:03:14.:03:19.

Welsh jobs. We have an opportunity now for the UK to use its formidable

:03:20.:03:23.

skills to start a new global industry. To do so in a way that

:03:24.:03:30.

enhances our energy security supply and helps meet our decarbonisation

:03:31.:03:34.

commitments. Another cost that is around the cost of a pint of milk

:03:35.:03:40.

per household each year. Tidal lagoon power has promised that half

:03:41.:03:44.

of the 1.3 "Cost will be spent in Wales. This company and Abergavenny

:03:45.:03:49.

will be the first on-site, carrying out the civil engineering for the

:03:50.:03:54.

lagoon. Things like roadways. They expect to have 100 people working on

:03:55.:03:58.

the site. By this project going ahead it would enable us to keep on

:03:59.:04:04.

expanding to recruit more local people, to train more local people

:04:05.:04:12.

for the future. GE at rugby have the contract for the turbines. At first

:04:13.:04:16.

they would only be assembled in Wales but tidal lagoon power has

:04:17.:04:21.

already put out to tender to build a new ?22 million turbine

:04:22.:04:24.

manufacturing plant in Swansea docks. We have invested over the

:04:25.:04:32.

last few years in new robots and other automated capability to be

:04:33.:04:37.

able to not only deliver the workload we have today but also to

:04:38.:04:40.

be able to deliver the workload in the future. The Swansea project is

:04:41.:04:45.

the first of six in tidal lagoons plans. For in Wales, two in England.

:04:46.:04:52.

The tidal energy to have a truly transformational effect on our

:04:53.:04:54.

economy than ever lagoons need to follow, particularly here in Cardiff

:04:55.:05:00.

and also in Colwyn Bay. That is when the Welsh economy would feel the

:05:01.:05:03.

difference, not just in terms of jobs but also businesses that would

:05:04.:05:07.

be expected to be set up here. Charles Hendry has suggested a tidal

:05:08.:05:17.

lagoon authority, all things which could delay that develop in. Tidal

:05:18.:05:21.

lagoon power says those delays are not a problem. You have to finish

:05:22.:05:26.

Swansea. We would want to finish Swansea and now that the fish

:05:27.:05:31.

studies were accurate, what we said would happen with the silt were

:05:32.:05:35.

accurate, before you start building Cardiff. The UK Government says it

:05:36.:05:40.

will respond in due course. The company hopes to start work on site

:05:41.:05:42.

in spring 2018. As well as securing the necessary

:05:43.:05:45.

funds and the backing of the UK Government,

:05:46.:05:47.

the scheme also needs a so-called marine licence

:05:48.:05:49.

from Natural Resources Wales. After years of discussions there's

:05:50.:05:51.

still no sign of agreement with serious concerns being raised

:05:52.:05:53.

about the lagoon's Our environment correspondent

:05:54.:05:55.

Steffan Messenger now on what's next Swansea Bay is home to play throw of

:05:56.:06:12.

birds, fish and other wildlife stop so what impact will the lagoon have

:06:13.:06:20.

on them? The developers say the effect on nature will be negligible.

:06:21.:06:24.

But fishing groups in particular disagree. The lagoon in Swansea will

:06:25.:06:33.

affect the rivers, all of which are important sea trout rivers. Natural

:06:34.:06:38.

Resources Wales agree with this. They have not yet issued a marine

:06:39.:06:42.

licence. Planning permission for the Swansea Bay lagoon was granted based

:06:43.:06:46.

on modelling that suggested it would have minimal impact on fish. But

:06:47.:06:50.

before Christmas Natural Resources Wales revised its predictions

:06:51.:06:55.

claiming 21% of salmon and 25% of sea trout could be killed each year

:06:56.:07:00.

as they migrate to and from local rivers. A major adverse impact.

:07:01.:07:05.

Tidal lagoon power say they don't agree with the figures all the way

:07:06.:07:10.

they have been worked out. They have submitted new evidence which could

:07:11.:07:16.

lead to further delay. The irony here is that this is about green

:07:17.:07:20.

energy and lots of it. If all six lagoons are built and live up to

:07:21.:07:24.

their promise of delivering around 12% of our relatives that he needs

:07:25.:07:28.

that could be a significant boost to the UK's efforts to cut carbon

:07:29.:07:34.

emissions and tackle climate change. That is generally agree to be the

:07:35.:07:37.

greatest threat to nature conservation. Charles Hendry's

:07:38.:07:41.

report the first lagoon in Swansea is given the go-ahead. So any effect

:07:42.:07:46.

on wildlife can be carefully monitored. The review indicates that

:07:47.:07:51.

both economic league and environmentally in his field this

:07:52.:07:56.

should go ahead. That is a wake-up call both to the UK Government and

:07:57.:08:02.

the agency here in Wales. They need to ensure the enable this to happen.

:08:03.:08:11.

Several environmental charities have given a cautious welcome but they

:08:12.:08:14.

want assurances they will be enough of a pause between building the

:08:15.:08:17.

first lagoon and starting work on more. How long a pause are we

:08:18.:08:22.

talking about? Eight years minimum should be the pause because that is

:08:23.:08:28.

the timespan of two fish spawning cycles. Less than that we cannot

:08:29.:08:33.

look at the environmental impact properly. Natural Resources Wales

:08:34.:08:39.

says it is working closely with the developers and other experts to make

:08:40.:08:43.

sure it fairly assesses the impact of this world first scheme.

:08:44.:08:48.

Developing new sources of sustainable energy in a way that

:08:49.:08:50.

minimises harm to the environment is a goal it says it wholeheartedly

:08:51.:08:52.

supports. The UK Government is planning to cut

:08:53.:08:57.

the tolls on the Severn crossings From 2018 when the bridges revert

:08:58.:09:00.

to public ownership, all cars and small vehicles

:09:01.:09:04.

will pay three pounds. Tomorrow, a consultation

:09:05.:09:06.

will also be published into Our political editor

:09:07.:09:08.

Nick Servini is here. We already knew that the tolls were

:09:09.:09:30.

going to be halved. In a letter from two UK Government ministers to MPs

:09:31.:09:35.

it says that will come down to ?3. Particularly big savings for vans

:09:36.:09:42.

and small vehicles at the moment. Let me point you to a sentence in

:09:43.:09:46.

the letter which says we want to be clear there is no intention to use

:09:47.:09:49.

the tolls for any purpose other than to support their operation and

:09:50.:09:55.

maintenance. It is saying they will be no plan to use the revenue to

:09:56.:09:59.

bolster the car offers of the Treasury. A few years ago David

:10:00.:10:04.

Davies the Monmouth MP got some figures pointing to a figure of a

:10:05.:10:11.

total of just ?1 to support the operation and maintenance. So they

:10:12.:10:15.

will come down but they will be further political pressure for them

:10:16.:10:18.

to come down further as well. On the free-flowing charging system we knew

:10:19.:10:23.

the government was looking at this. It does nudge it along a bit with

:10:24.:10:26.

the official publication tomorrow. All of which is great news for

:10:27.:10:33.

motorists and a timely reminder that after decades of tribe is paying for

:10:34.:10:36.

the costs of these crossings we are approaching a moment when they are

:10:37.:10:41.

going to be significant changes to the tolls.

:10:42.:10:44.

An inquest has heard how a father drowned accidentally after getting

:10:45.:10:46.

into difficulty in the sea with his nine-year-old son.

:10:47.:10:49.

40-year-old Benny Collins was taken to Morriston Hospital

:10:50.:10:51.

after being recovered from the water at Three Cliffs Bay

:10:52.:10:53.

He was the third person to die at the popular

:10:54.:10:58.

Benny Collins' family arrived at the inquest in Swansea to hear how he

:10:59.:11:11.

lost his life at the beach. The physio at Morriston Hospital Mr

:11:12.:11:16.

Collins was described as a loving family man who was also passionate

:11:17.:11:20.

about sport. It was in July 2015 when Mr Collins had come to this

:11:21.:11:24.

problem beauty spot with his son Harry. The inquest heard they run

:11:25.:11:30.

into the sea together holding hands but they were knocked off their feet

:11:31.:11:34.

by way. Harry was thrown towards the short whilst his dad was dragged

:11:35.:11:38.

away. When the tide is out here the sea is safe for swimming but when it

:11:39.:11:44.

comes back in and meets with this dream which runs through the centre

:11:45.:11:48.

of the beach it becomes treacherous as a rip Curl and is formed which

:11:49.:11:51.

has enough strength to pull any object or person back out to sea.

:11:52.:11:57.

The Coast were called on Mr Collins was pulled from the water by a

:11:58.:12:00.

helicopter. He was taken to Morriston Hospital but efforts to

:12:01.:12:04.

revive him were in vain. His death was the second within a matter of

:12:05.:12:11.

weeks. It sparked calls for lifeguards provision there which has

:12:12.:12:17.

since happened. There has been a different diver death -- a

:12:18.:12:22.

difference this year with lifeguards there. There is nothing better than

:12:23.:12:30.

somebody on the scene. The seas can be enjoyed nicely but at times we

:12:31.:12:33.

need to take that care. Asking senior coroner Colin Phillips

:12:34.:12:37.

described what happened that day as a tragedy. He told the family he

:12:38.:12:41.

will consider whether adequate improvements have been made at the

:12:42.:12:45.

beach since Mr Collins' death. He also said he would continue at a

:12:46.:12:49.

session with the RNLI about what more can be done.

:12:50.:12:52.

Drivers are being warned to prepare for icy conditions on the roads

:12:53.:12:55.

overnight and into the morning with temperatures expected to drop

:12:56.:12:58.

Snow has fallen in some parts of Wales today

:12:59.:13:02.

Our reporter Nick Palit is with the gritters

:13:03.:13:06.

The much anticipated still has not materialised in many parts of Wales

:13:07.:13:20.

but it is bitterly cold. The roads are very wet and as the temperatures

:13:21.:13:25.

trot overnight that could freeze over. That is why the critters

:13:26.:13:27.

behind me in force. I'm going to talk now to Gareth

:13:28.:13:42.

Richards who runs the operation in Caerphilly. What is the scale of the

:13:43.:13:48.

task? We have been out since midday today. We've had eight vehicles

:13:49.:13:52.

working. By tomorrow morning we were love use 180 tonnes of salt. We will

:13:53.:14:00.

have travelled over 1200 kilometres. And you are out all night as well.

:14:01.:14:03.

There will be vehicles working throughout the night in readiness

:14:04.:14:08.

for the morning to try and get the roads treated before the traffic is

:14:09.:14:11.

back on them in the morning. These lorries cannot go down the side

:14:12.:14:17.

streets so what can people do to get their cars out in the morning. In

:14:18.:14:21.

Caerphilly we have over 900 salt bins. If they have any ice on the

:14:22.:14:28.

pavements or on the carriageway we can use those bins to free the cars

:14:29.:14:32.

in the morning. In the past when we've had cold weather we've had

:14:33.:14:36.

problems with running out of grit. What are you doing to make sure that

:14:37.:14:40.

doesn't happen? We have a contingency among the Welsh

:14:41.:14:46.

Government has ordered us to keep. We have well over 9000 tonnes ready

:14:47.:14:56.

for any situation. From a very cold Pontllanfraith back to the studio.

:14:57.:14:59.

So, ice the concern overnight and stay with us for the latest

:15:00.:15:02.

Derek will be here with all the details.

:15:03.:15:05.

Arctic winds. Hail, sleet and snow in places.

:15:06.:15:07.

A warning of ice as well. I'll have the latest forecast.

:15:08.:15:13.

The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has told Wales Today that allowing

:15:14.:15:16.

the Welsh Government to set its own immigration

:15:17.:15:18.

rules would be "fraught with difficulties".

:15:19.:15:20.

Mr Corbyn says the idea, which is backed by some

:15:21.:15:23.

of his own MPs, would be very difficult to implement.

:15:24.:15:25.

He's been speaking exclusively to our parliamentary

:15:26.:15:27.

It's an issue high on voters' priorities but one where his own MPs

:15:28.:15:35.

Should Britain control immigration from Europe

:15:36.:15:40.

The First Minister has suggested Jeremy Corbyn's approach,

:15:41.:15:45.

not ruling out free movement, is very London centric.

:15:46.:15:50.

It's not about being London centric, it's about the economic relationship

:15:51.:15:53.

If we want access to the European market there's going to be

:15:54.:15:59.

The priority has to be making sure that those excellent manufacturing

:16:00.:16:04.

industries and jobs that are going on in Britain

:16:05.:16:07.

have somewhere to export and sell their goods to.

:16:08.:16:10.

If we cut ourselves off from Europe we will have a real problem

:16:11.:16:13.

Chuka Umunna came up with an interesting suggestion that

:16:14.:16:19.

a regional policy on immigration allowing perhaps the Welsh

:16:20.:16:21.

Government to set its own quotas, do you think there is milage in that?

:16:22.:16:26.

I think it would be very difficult to implement it because if you set

:16:27.:16:29.

up a Welsh limit on immigration or started the same thing

:16:30.:16:35.

for English regions, would you then restrict the movement

:16:36.:16:39.

What would you do if it was a contracting industry,

:16:40.:16:46.

say a building industry that had a contract to do work

:16:47.:16:49.

Would you say that the European workers couldn't go and work on it?

:16:50.:16:55.

I think it's fraught with difficulties.

:16:56.:16:57.

Last year there were tensions between Jeremy Corbyn and members

:16:58.:16:59.

12 days into January his Shadow Defence Secretary,

:17:00.:17:04.

the Llanelli MP Nia Griffith, is absolutely furious that

:17:05.:17:09.

Mr Corbyn's spokesman used the deployment of UK troops

:17:10.:17:13.

in Estonia to deter Russian aggression as an escalation

:17:14.:17:15.

I had a chat with Nia briefly last night and we will have another

:17:16.:17:22.

I want to see a de-escalation of tensions between Nato and Russia.

:17:23.:17:30.

I want to see a de-militarisation of the border between them.

:17:31.:17:34.

We don't want to see increased tensions.

:17:35.:17:39.

I know Nia has been too meet British troops who have been deployed

:17:40.:17:43.

We will have a discussion later on today.

:17:44.:17:47.

It's a big year for Labour in Wales and it hasn't started well.

:17:48.:17:50.

The party hasn't been this low in the polls since Gordon Brown's

:17:51.:17:53.

day and there are council elections to fight in May.

:17:54.:17:56.

Mr Corbyn says we will certainly see him on the campaign trail here.

:17:57.:18:09.

More needs to be done to make farms more resilient

:18:10.:18:12.

That's according to the Farmers Union of Wales.

:18:13.:18:15.

It comes after the latest figures show a drop in income for dairy

:18:16.:18:18.

farms of more than a half in a year with a warning tonight that things

:18:19.:18:22.

could get much worse, as Teleri Glyn Jones reports.

:18:23.:18:30.

Des Jones Farms at Ceredigion. He milks 400 cattle but last year saw

:18:31.:18:39.

his income fall by almost half because of a drop in milk prices. He

:18:40.:18:43.

says it's been catastrophic. I wouldn't be the only one who says

:18:44.:18:49.

dipped into his pension just to keep things going. Which you have to do

:18:50.:18:55.

in these times. It's something we all do. We are all in the same boat.

:18:56.:19:01.

Thankfully at the moment the milk price has gone up but we have

:19:02.:19:07.

already dug a big hole. Des is not the only one who has seen huge drop.

:19:08.:19:12.

The latest figures show the income for all types of fans have dropped

:19:13.:19:17.

23% on average in the year up to much and dairy farmers in Wales have

:19:18.:19:21.

seen a drop of more than a half. It's the great surprise that farming

:19:22.:19:26.

is vulnerable to fluctuations in the markets. Commodity prices, the

:19:27.:19:29.

strength of the pound the cost of fuel all an impact on incomes. But

:19:30.:19:33.

questions are now being raised about how the industry can whether such

:19:34.:19:37.

storms in the future. The Farmers Union of Wales warned that things

:19:38.:19:42.

could get modified. Triggering article 50 and coming out of the

:19:43.:19:46.

European Union, negotiating our trade deals, where do our -- where

:19:47.:19:53.

is our export market? Those who present significant problems and

:19:54.:19:58.

issues for the industry. Having a sustainable industry is essential.

:19:59.:20:03.

But let's have a resilient one. Let's have an industry that can take

:20:04.:20:08.

those peaks and troughs that can take the knocks down -- the knocks

:20:09.:20:18.

down -- the not Down's. Incomes do fluctuate year-on-year and Welsh

:20:19.:20:21.

farmers are adept to managing that change. Des admits things have

:20:22.:20:26.

improved for him since these figures were gathered. The mud of money get
