:00:00. > :00:10.Constant customer complaints - old, cramped trains.

:00:11. > :00:21.Now MPs say they need to be replaced urgently.

:00:22. > :00:29.During peak times it's no good at all. I've seen people fainting and

:00:30. > :00:32.being sick. The valleys line is very good, but on Saturday you've only

:00:33. > :00:33.got two carriages, they should be more.

:00:34. > :00:35.Adam Issac is jailed for sexually abusing boys he met

:00:36. > :00:38.A charity warns parents need to understand the dangers

:00:39. > :00:48.It's been horrendous. We've had rats running around.

:00:49. > :00:52.Are tough recycling targets leading to fly-tipping?

:00:53. > :00:55.After almost 75 days alone at sea the jubliation

:00:56. > :01:06.Welsh sailor Alex Thomson receives a hero s welcome.

:01:07. > :01:13.I've been on my own so long and suddenly there's all these people.

:01:14. > :01:14.I'm super excited. I feel like the whole world has lifted off my

:01:15. > :01:15.shoulders. And much of Wales has

:01:16. > :01:17.been sunny today. Some of our trains have up

:01:18. > :01:40.to 4.5 million miles on the clock and there's now an urgent need

:01:41. > :01:46.to replace "old and That's according to a group of MPs

:01:47. > :01:50.who also say there's been a huge failure to account for a significant

:01:51. > :01:53.rise in passenger numbers. We're taking more than twice

:01:54. > :01:55.as many journeys on trains as we did 10 years ago,

:01:56. > :01:58.which they say has led to overcrowding and customers

:01:59. > :02:01.are left dissatisfied. Here's our business

:02:02. > :02:13.correspondent Brian Meechan. It's a service many have always

:02:14. > :02:19.relied on. But while travellers have changed it seems chains haven't.

:02:20. > :02:24.Those operated today by the Riva trains Wales are, on average, 27

:02:25. > :02:27.years old. MPs argue that the increasing number of passengers

:02:28. > :02:31.using the service I've had enough of the conditions. They have been

:02:32. > :02:36.complaints about the standard of the carriages and the overcrowding that

:02:37. > :02:40.many believe happens to regularly. Nearly every day I'm standing to and

:02:41. > :02:46.from work. Today I'm finishing early so it's not as bad, but at peak

:02:47. > :02:58.times it's no good at all. I've seen people fainting, people being sick.

:02:59. > :03:00.The valleys lines is very, very good.

:03:01. > :03:02.But on Saturday you've only got the carriages, there should be more. The

:03:03. > :03:04.Welsh affairs select committee says the problem was that when the

:03:05. > :03:06.contract was agreed between strategic rail authority and Arriva

:03:07. > :03:10.didn't factor in more people using trains.

:03:11. > :03:15.When the original franchise was put in place not enough account was

:03:16. > :03:18.taken of the possibility of a growth in numbers. It ended up costing more

:03:19. > :03:23.money than it should have done to deal with it. Having said that, we

:03:24. > :03:26.recognise that Arriva trains Wales, and the Assembly have overcome those

:03:27. > :03:33.problems. Journeys have increased by around

:03:34. > :03:39.50%, with over 29,000,020 14 and 15 and 10 million more than a decade

:03:40. > :03:43.before. Profits have remained fairly consistent. It's made of an ?80

:03:44. > :03:47.million in the last five years. The vast bulk of that being paid as a

:03:48. > :03:52.dividend to its owners, the German transport company Deutsche Bank.

:03:53. > :03:55.Over a five-year period the company has received roughly ?750 million

:03:56. > :04:00.from the Welsh government and subsidies.

:04:01. > :04:05.Arriva trains Wales says it welcomes the fact that the report recognises

:04:06. > :04:08.they have been improvement fund investments in its services.

:04:09. > :04:13.However, it does say it will continue to try to solve the

:04:14. > :04:19.problems, but as the MPs meatier, there is no quick or easy solution.

:04:20. > :04:22.Trains run across the whole of Wales, and it operates railway

:04:23. > :04:28.stations including Bangor were passengers gave their views on the

:04:29. > :04:33.services provided by Arriva. They are tiny. Most of it time a

:04:34. > :04:38.fine for me. But I'm not was travelling peak.

:04:39. > :04:41.Arriva's trains are generally on time, all the crowding around

:04:42. > :04:45.services in Cardiff is worse than trains arriving in Bristol and

:04:46. > :04:50.Liverpool. But it's better than those pulling into Manchester and

:04:51. > :04:51.Leeds. The Welsh government says the current franchises in triple play

:04:52. > :04:57.bus. Major investment will be needed

:04:58. > :05:02.soon. 70% of the Arriva fleet will not be able to be used after 2020

:05:03. > :05:08.because of new disability regulations. Those will have to be

:05:09. > :05:12.replaced. The impact is the degree of breakdown. If we had 30-year-old

:05:13. > :05:16.cars we would have a problem keeping them going.

:05:17. > :05:20.Arriva is one of four bidders for the next franchise which comes up in

:05:21. > :05:24.2018. The Welsh government will work that I may not-for-profit basis,

:05:25. > :05:30.sitting in a major change in direction in the future of rail. In

:05:46. > :05:48.An amateur boxer from Port Talbot has been jailed for 12 and a half

:05:49. > :05:50.years, after admitting killing his girlfriend.

:05:51. > :05:52.21-year old James Tobin was caught after police bugged his home,

:05:53. > :05:55.and heard him admit to his father that he'd killed Kellie Gillard.

:05:56. > :05:58.Swansea Crown Court heard Tobin hit Miss Gillard with forceful blows

:05:59. > :06:02.during an argument two years ago, causing her to hit the wall

:06:03. > :06:11.A 23-year-old man has denied murdering his girlfriend in Cardiff.

:06:40. > :06:48.Adam Isaac is seen here are leaving court after a previous hearing

:06:49. > :06:54.He sexually abused two boys aged 12 and 14 online.

:06:55. > :06:59.He asked them to send intimate photos of themselves to him,

:07:00. > :07:04.and he perform sexual acts on himself during video calls.

:07:05. > :07:08.Indecent images of a third boy were also found in his possession.

:07:09. > :07:12.The father of one of the victims says it's had a profound impact.

:07:13. > :07:18.He was quite calculatedly groomed on chat messages.

:07:19. > :07:27.I think the realisation, to him, of what's happened,

:07:28. > :07:32.It was through the online world of Minecraft that

:07:33. > :07:39.The game has more than 100 million registered users, players

:07:40. > :07:41.interact with each other, and build 3-D worlds

:07:42. > :07:50.After grooming the boys using it the prosecution said Isaac then sent

:07:51. > :07:55.But it wasn't until one victim's father found online Skype

:07:56. > :07:58.conversations asking about his son's sex life that the matter was brought

:08:04. > :08:09.And they offer resources to help parents keep their children safe.

:08:10. > :08:14.But online gaming is a concern for children's charity, NSPCC.

:08:15. > :08:20.Online grooming is a term that is vastly growing now

:08:21. > :08:28.That, for me, really reinforces the concern that is out there.

:08:29. > :08:31.It is the biggest, near enough, the biggest child protection issue

:08:32. > :08:38.Sentencing 23-year-old Adam Isaac to two years and eight months

:08:39. > :08:41.in prison the judge, Mr Justice Twomlow, told him,

:08:42. > :08:45.you knew you would find teenage boys, this was clearly

:08:46. > :08:49.He went on to say people have to understand the seriousness

:08:50. > :08:54.of behaviour like yours and it will result in prison.

:08:55. > :09:00.Rhiannon Wilkins, BBC Wales today, at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court.

:09:01. > :09:03.And for more information on how to keep children

:09:04. > :09:09.safe online, there's lots of advice on bbc.co.uk/webwise.

:09:40. > :09:43.which will have a terrible impact on the environment.

:09:44. > :09:46.It says no licence was granted, and it will take the necessary

:09:47. > :09:52.There's a warning tonight that implementing stricter rules

:09:53. > :09:55.on recycling too quickly could increase fly-tipping.

:09:56. > :09:59.Llanelli Assembly Member, Lee Waters, says it's already a big

:10:00. > :10:02.problem in the town with rubbish being dumped outside

:10:03. > :10:11.Last year Wales saw a 14% increase in fly-tipping compared

:10:12. > :10:16.But the Welsh Government says it's not aware of evidence linking

:10:17. > :10:17.changes in household waste collection to fly-tipping.

:10:18. > :10:26.Christine Clark from Llanelli says she has turned to fly-tipping around

:10:27. > :10:30.These are her photos of other people's rubbish dumped

:10:36. > :10:46.It's not just this lane, it's all the back lanes and Llanelli.

:10:47. > :10:48.It's one of the problems around here.

:10:49. > :10:50.People chuck stuff outside it's not in there eye sight,

:10:59. > :11:01.Llanelli's Assembly Member says as councils strive

:11:02. > :11:04.for better recycling rates, careful consideration needs to be

:11:05. > :11:09.given to future policy changes on waste collection.

:11:10. > :11:12.I think there's a judgment for us all to reach about how far do

:11:13. > :11:17.Because if we push it too far, too fast, we are going to create

:11:18. > :11:27.We may well hit litter to target, but we'll create fly-tipping

:11:28. > :11:30.problems and broader littering problems which would increase costs

:11:31. > :11:32.Carmarthenshire Council acknowledges there is a problem

:11:33. > :11:38.It says it's working closely with the local

:11:39. > :11:43.Later this month a task force will meet here for the first time

:11:44. > :11:45.as it tries to find a long-term solution to this issue.

:11:46. > :11:47.Carmarthen, like most local authorities recycles more

:11:48. > :11:56.Ceredigion is the best, as it recycles 68% of its waste.

:11:57. > :12:00.Compared to Blaenau Gwent which is the worst performing at 49%.

:12:01. > :12:04.Also among the best is Conwy, the council there is trailing a once

:12:05. > :12:11.But there is concern it's having disastrous consequences with claims

:12:12. > :12:13.of increased fly-tipping and some people even having to

:12:14. > :12:19.On the streets today the new policy got a mixed response.

:12:20. > :12:26.I'm having to go to the tip all the time.

:12:27. > :12:29.It's just two of us, what it's like with families, I don't know.

:12:30. > :12:34.I'm going to the tip three times just with actual rubbish.

:12:35. > :12:39.The plastics went into the extra bins.

:12:40. > :12:43.We haven't had any problems, but other people have.

:12:44. > :12:46.When it comes to recycling the Welsh government wants the nation

:12:47. > :12:55.It says it makes no apology for its commitment to the cause.

:12:56. > :12:58.BBC Wales has learned that a Plaid Cymru Assembly Member has

:12:59. > :13:01.been probed by the Public Services Ombudsman over whether he made

:13:02. > :13:06.a threatening remark to a Cardiff Council officer.

:13:07. > :13:08.In November we revealed allegations that Neil McEvoy,

:13:09. > :13:10.who's also a city councillor, had brought the authority

:13:11. > :13:13.into disrepute and had been referred to a tribunal.

:13:29. > :13:36.is said to have made these comments Lily threatening manner to a council

:13:37. > :13:39.official. It happened after a application to suspend the eviction

:13:40. > :13:45.of a council tenant. The allegation is that the AM said, I can't wait

:13:46. > :13:50.until May 20 17th when the restructure of the council happens.

:13:51. > :13:54.The Council officer said Mr McAvoy was being intimidating and she took

:13:55. > :13:59.that comment as a threat against her work. The reason for that is Plaid

:14:00. > :14:02.Cymru have got this proposal of restructuring the senior management

:14:03. > :14:07.of Cardiff Council and the elections are happening this year. Mr McEvoy

:14:08. > :14:12.is thought to have accepted that he did make those comments, but he was

:14:13. > :14:16.talking to the lady involved, not making a threat to the Council

:14:17. > :14:19.official. The public service ombudsman for Wales rates in a

:14:20. > :14:24.report that that has been referred to the adjudication panel for Wales.

:14:25. > :14:30.As a result they won't be making further comment, a spokesperson for

:14:31. > :14:35.Plaid Cymru and Cardiff said the whole investigation is an outrage.

:14:36. > :14:38.The problem for Neil McEvoy is that if the tribunal goes against him he

:14:39. > :14:40.could be suspended or disqualified which makes life difficult with

:14:41. > :14:42.local elections coming in May. With the eyes of the world

:16:16. > :16:22.difficult to see the full humanity of... To see full humanity of women

:16:23. > :16:27.deliberately women as well as men. Why men are seen as the person God

:19:13. > :19:16.And the first two captured on camera was a Welshman.

:19:17. > :19:18.John Plum, he was born in Welshpool in 1809,

:19:19. > :19:22.at the age of 12 he emigrated, with his family, to

:19:23. > :19:27.He saw photography as this new thing, something

:19:28. > :19:32.he could capitalise on and generate income to support his true desire,

:19:33. > :19:34.which was to build this transcontinental railway

:19:35. > :19:42.Photography was still very young, so it was a wonderful new,

:19:43. > :19:47.And it allowed people to symbolically take

:19:48. > :19:49.ownership of the world, acquiring images of landmarks.

:19:50. > :19:54.Of course, new institutions, new buildings, such as the buildings

:19:55. > :20:01.in Washington that John Plum made daguerreotypes of in 1846.

:20:02. > :20:03.Plum's photograph of the White House, it's

:20:04. > :20:07.an interesting picture, when you look at it closely.

:20:08. > :20:10.If you took a magnifying glass to it there would be

:20:11. > :20:15.I think this is, perhaps, something we have to hold onto,

:20:16. > :20:17.especially now with digital media, that initial encounter

:20:18. > :20:21.with the photographic process would have been so remarkable.

:20:22. > :20:29.And it really would have been an amazing, and familiar experience.

:20:30. > :20:35.Whatever was depicted, must have generated respect and awe.

:20:36. > :20:38.For this new country being able to take a photo and say,

:20:39. > :20:41.it is here, you can look at it, see that it is here.

:20:42. > :20:47.It meant that the hopes we had were coming true.

:23:24. > :23:27.place and this morning he came into the French port

:23:46. > :23:49.was running on empty, but as Alex Thompson approached the French coast

:23:50. > :23:52.surrounded by a fleet of well-wishers his energy was

:23:53. > :23:58.recharged, his relief and delight clear to see. Joined on board by his

:24:09. > :24:11.with hundreds of supporters, but nothing as sweet as reuniting with

:24:12. > :24:16.his family. It's great to have them back. My son

:24:17. > :24:21.didn't want to let go of me. Sometimes I do take to myself, why

:24:22. > :24:25.am I doing this? White? But you don't have a choice. At that point

:24:26. > :24:29.you don't have a choice. I'm so fortunate to have such a great team,

:24:30. > :24:32.they've given me a machine that could have won the race.

:24:33. > :24:38.Finishing in second place, I'm chuffed. The race is dubbed the ever

:25:03. > :25:08.tempted to go again? I haven't asked her yet. It would be

:25:09. > :25:12.difficult not to. Third, second, only one goal after it. I want to go

:25:13. > :25:17.for the win at some point. But for me it's the end of the races, that

:25:18. > :25:21.feeling, that 75 days where I haven't thought at the finish. I

:25:22. > :25:27.didn't want to think about it. It's a war, a day by day ground. At the

:25:28. > :25:30.end it's a relief. It feels like the whole world has lifted off my

:25:31. > :25:34.shoulders. Alex is planning some time out,

:25:35. > :25:38.tonight he is looking forward to going to bed and sleeping for more

:25:39. > :25:39.than 25 minutes, knowing there's no chance of sinking.
