:02:11. > :02:14.Tonight, Matthew Garden is starting a seven and a half year jail
:02:15. > :02:19.sentence for the manslaughter of for innocent lives. The judge described
:02:20. > :02:23.Gordon as a man who had showed more concerned for himself than for the
:02:24. > :02:27.public, a business owner who flouted the rules. Mechanic Peter Wood was
:02:28. > :02:39.spent five years and three months behind bars. The judge told him he
:02:40. > :02:41.should have known a casual attitude about safety risk the lives of
:02:42. > :02:43.others. We need to remember the devastation their gross negligence
:02:44. > :02:46.caused innocent lives and their families, as well as the deep impact

:03:03. > :03:09.been to pick them up as they made their way back to Wales, as they did

:03:42. > :03:45.crash. Speaking to the BBC after the trial, it she spoke to BBC about
:03:46. > :03:50.heartache and how she was deprived of a family of her own. If that was
:03:51. > :03:55.the case, we would have had a family by knowing which we have been
:03:56. > :04:01.denied. Whereas the owner of the company has gone on to have a child
:04:02. > :04:05.and has won on the way as well. I feel very upset over that, he has
:04:06. > :04:11.gone to have a life and mine has been taken away from me. Phillip

:04:42. > :04:45.the same and she feels extremely angry that the reckless actions of
:04:46. > :04:49.others took husband away from her, a truly amazing, clever, generous man.
:04:50. > :04:54.As Gordon and Wood were driven away to prison, reporters outside were
:04:55. > :05:00.told the extent of both men's serious failings. Matthew Gordon had
:05:01. > :05:05.no chance that -- transport manager and flouted every regulation to
:05:06. > :05:09.ensure public safety. As a mechanic, Peter Wood signed off vehicles are
:05:10. > :05:12.safe when clearly they were not. The judge described the condition of the
:05:13. > :05:16.brakes on the vehicle which crashed as appalling and he said the
:05:17. > :05:20.failures of Gordon and would to maintain that vehicle for
:05:21. > :05:25.inexplicable. He said this was not a one-off but an accident waiting to
:05:26. > :05:29.happen which devastated the lives of so many families. Gordon and Wood
:05:30. > :05:35.were jailed for a total of 12 years and nine months.
:05:36. > :05:38.The Labour MP Jo Stevens has resigned as shadow Welsh secretary
:05:39. > :05:40.over Jeremy Corbyn's instruction that the party's MPs
:05:41. > :05:42.must vote to support the bill to trigger Brexit.
:05:43. > :05:45.In her resignation letter she said she was a passionate
:05:46. > :05:48.European and had been urged by her constituents
:05:49. > :05:50.in Cardiff Central to vote against the Article 50 bill.
:05:51. > :05:54.Our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones, is with me now.
:05:55. > :05:56.You have a copy of her resignation letter.
:05:57. > :06:08.It essentially comes down to her belief that she thinks Brexit is and
:06:09. > :06:13.will be a terrible mistake. This vote will be the most important ever
:06:14. > :06:18.for her as an MP and is an issue of principle conscious, many of her
:06:19. > :06:22.constituents have been in touch to urge her to vote in this way. She
:06:23. > :06:25.goes on to say it's been an honour and a privilege to serve as
:06:26. > :06:28.Secretary of State for Wales but carrying out that role has
:06:29. > :06:32.galvanised this belief infers that Wales will be worse off after
:06:33. > :06:37.Brexit. We have no one has been disquiet over Labour MPs because
:06:38. > :06:41.Jeremy Corbyn has decided to use the strongest, and he has, a three line
:06:42. > :06:45.whip to force them to back the small piece of legislation in the House
:06:46. > :06:49.which will trigger Brexit next week. She is not the first to resign over
:06:50. > :06:54.the issue but the most senior. It does mean that Labour once again is
:06:55. > :06:55.looking for a Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, the fifth time now
:06:56. > :06:57.since the general election in 2015. What's the reaction been
:06:58. > :07:03.to her resignation? We have heard from a former Labour
:07:04. > :07:07.Secretary of State who says she will be a big loss for the front bench
:07:08. > :07:11.and also criticising what he said was a lack of ambition and strategy
:07:12. > :07:14.from Labour over Brexit. We have heard from Jeremy Corbyn this
:07:15. > :07:20.evening and he says he understands why MPs like Jo Stevens are touring
:07:21. > :07:24.because they represent constituents who voted to remain in the European
:07:25. > :07:27.Union but he said that Labour has to respect the outcome of the
:07:28. > :07:31.referendum and mustn't do anything to the street that process. Thank
:07:32. > :07:32.you very much for that. -- frustrate.
:07:33. > :07:35.The leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies has
:07:36. > :07:37.demanded a public apology from the First Minister
:07:38. > :07:40.to be part of deciding Wales' Brexit strategy.
:07:41. > :07:42.Writing to Carwyn Jones, Mr Davies called the comment,

:07:50. > :07:53.The public inquiry for the M4 relief road south of Newport
:07:54. > :07:56.is delayed by almost four months because traffic
:07:57. > :08:03.A pre-inquiry meeting was told today that congestion forecasts were LESS

:08:14. > :08:17.could be made to Tata Steel workers in their fifties, if changes
:08:18. > :08:21.to the company's pension scheme are accepted.
:08:22. > :08:23.Unions will begin balloting members on Monday, on whether to move
:08:24. > :08:25.from the current final salary provisions, to a less

:08:30. > :08:41.Brian, what more do we know about this offer by Tata?
:08:42. > :08:48.It has emerged that up to ?10,000 will be paid into the pensions of
:08:49. > :08:55.older workers who are considering retiring early in order to get them
:08:56. > :08:59.to move onto this new scheme. They won't get ?10,000, it will depend on
:09:00. > :09:03.the length of service and how long they have been paying into the
:09:04. > :09:07.pension scheme. There is some hope amongst many people who would like
:09:08. > :09:10.to see this going ahead that this will in some way help make it a
:09:11. > :09:14.little bit better and a little bit easier for those who are having to
:09:15. > :09:18.decide ultimately when these ballots go out whether they are willing to
:09:19. > :09:25.accept as union members moving from a final scut -- salary scheme to a
:09:26. > :09:30.much less generous one which is tied to ?1 billion of funding coming from
:09:31. > :09:33.Tata to Port Talbot over eight years. The ballot is going out on
:09:34. > :09:37.Monday, the decision will still have to be made by union members but
:09:38. > :09:41.crucially Tata isn't bound by whatever decision is made by the
:09:42. > :09:44.members of the union. Thank you very much, Brian.

:09:47. > :09:49.The factory is to close after more than six decades in the city,
:09:50. > :09:54.Around 100 staff will lose their jobs, though some
:09:55. > :09:56.will work out their notice until the end of February.
:09:57. > :10:00.Owners Food Utopia say they've been unable to find a way to keep
:10:01. > :10:06.One of Newport's best known employers, but now workers
:10:07. > :10:10.leaving the production line for the last time.
:10:11. > :10:12.I've made some really good friends and I really am
:10:13. > :10:17.It's just a very sad atmosphere in there.
:10:18. > :10:23.Everybody's sad to leave and trying to find new jobs.
:10:24. > :10:33.It started in a shop in the 1800s, it grew to fill big factories
:10:34. > :10:41.At one time, over 1,000 employed at the Rogerstone factory,
:10:42. > :10:44.two million cakes made here since 1999.
:10:45. > :10:50.Others gave decades of service and more.
:10:51. > :10:55.I used to work like 80 hours a week up there.
:10:56. > :10:57.My grandmother worked here, my auntie worked here.
:10:58. > :11:02.It was guaranteed work up here all the time.
:11:03. > :11:08.We used to do Blackpool, Disneyland Paris, Tenby, everywhere.
:11:09. > :11:14.Now it's closing down, it's very sad to see it go.
:11:15. > :11:18.A turbulent recent history, a fire in 2001.
:11:19. > :11:21.But the business bounced back and won a big contract with Marks
:11:22. > :11:28.In 2011, it was sold by Premier Foods to the Two Sisters food group.
:11:29. > :11:31.The new owners lost that big supermarket contract and then sold
:11:32. > :11:37.the company again in 2014, hundreds lost their jobs.
:11:38. > :11:39.Current owner, Food Utopia, says it did everything it
:11:40. > :11:41.could to make the business a success, but it was
:11:42. > :11:47.The workers' union says it knows times have changed but has
:11:48. > :11:50.questioned how the company was run and whether it could have done more.
:11:51. > :11:51.Obviously people's tastes are changing.
:11:52. > :11:55.They're not encouraged to eat sugar any more.
:11:56. > :11:58.More of a treat than an every day occurrence.
:11:59. > :12:01.But there's still room in the industry for good quality
:12:02. > :12:05.cakes and these people made a good quality cake.
:12:06. > :12:08.Some staff will work their notice period here for a few weeks.
:12:09. > :12:10.A handful of others will look after smaller
:12:11. > :12:15.But the curtain has come down slowly on some long careers here.
:12:16. > :12:23.Mass production now over, most staff now looking for a new job.
:12:24. > :12:33.here are confident they'll be toasting success after Brexit.
:12:34. > :12:35.And - 'I'll come home world champion again' -
:12:36. > :12:45.The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, says
:12:46. > :12:48.he still believes the law introducing presumed consent
:12:49. > :12:51.for organ donation was the "wrong way" to approach the problem
:12:52. > :12:56.Dr Morgan's comments come as he prepares to retire next week.
:12:57. > :13:00.He's been the head of the Church in Wales for nearly fourteen years.
:13:01. > :13:04.He's been speaking to Felicity Evans.
:13:05. > :13:06.Barry Morgan is the longest serving Archbishop in the worldwide
:13:07. > :13:11.And he's got the funny stories to prove it.
:13:12. > :13:17.When I was installed in Bangor, I knocked the door.
:13:18. > :13:19.The Dean said to me, "Knock the door three times."
:13:20. > :13:23.In the end, I knocked nine times because...
:13:24. > :13:26.They didn't seem to hear me and, not realising I had the microphone
:13:27. > :13:29.on, said to my chaplin, "Well, they obviously don't want
:13:30. > :13:35.It's exactly that warmth and self-depricating humour that's
:13:36. > :13:38.enabled him to steer the church in Wales through some long-running
:13:39. > :13:43.He's been an outspoken voice, usually on the liberal
:13:44. > :13:45.side of the argument, in public and political
:13:46. > :13:50.He's supported more powers for the National Assembly,
:13:51. > :13:53.but opposed the introduction of a law that assumes people
:13:54. > :13:57.want to be organ donors unless they opt out.
:13:58. > :13:59.You found yourself very much on the outside when it
:14:00. > :14:01.came to the view that you were expressing there.
:14:02. > :14:11.I felt that I was making a valid point.
:14:12. > :14:13.I think what I did object to was people thinking that
:14:14. > :14:19.I wasn't against organ donation at all.
:14:20. > :14:23.I was just against the method by which they were going about it.
:14:24. > :14:25.I still feel that, to be honest, because it's much better
:14:26. > :14:31.if people voluntarily say we want to give organs.
:14:32. > :14:38.Women clergy and same sex marriage have been the big battles
:14:39. > :14:44.He's in favour of both and he is delighted that the church
:14:45. > :14:47.in Wales first woman bishop was consecrated just a couple
:14:48. > :14:52.I think that was pretty important as a matter of justice,
:14:53. > :14:55.as a matter of equality and as a matter of doing
:14:56. > :15:02.That's been pretty important and I never expected a woman bishop
:15:03. > :15:09.However fierce the arguments over these issues, he's always sought
:15:10. > :15:12.to accommodate different views, holding the church together,
:15:13. > :15:15.even as he apologised to LGBT people for the way it's behaved
:15:16. > :15:20.You've pushed the gay marriage thing as far
:15:21. > :15:23.as you could while keeping everyone on board, haven't you?
:15:24. > :15:29.I've done that with the full support of the present bishops and also
:15:30. > :15:35.too with the support of the governing body.
:15:36. > :15:38.That's quite something, I think, in a church that hasn't always been
:15:39. > :15:42.known for its liberalism and I felt that, therefore,
:15:43. > :15:48.the bishops could issue prayers to say with gay people in church,
:15:49. > :15:51.but to bring a bill to allow gay marriage would have just
:15:52. > :15:56.And in terms of the church reaches out to its congegration
:15:57. > :16:00.and the wider society in Wales, what are your thoughts on how
:16:01. > :16:02.effectively it's done that under your leadership?
:16:03. > :16:05.If you're just going to judge it by church attendances,
:16:06. > :16:09.then the honest answer is not terribly well.
:16:10. > :16:12.But when I go around here and other parishes in Wales,
:16:13. > :16:15.I see church communities more engaged with their local societies
:16:16. > :16:26.Were it not for church people, lots of organisations
:16:27. > :16:34.I'm thinking of food banks, I'm thinking of dementia groups.
:16:35. > :16:36.His successor as Archbishop will be chosen in the summer.
:16:37. > :16:41.For Dr Morgan, that means a quieter life outside the public eye.
:16:42. > :16:43.I take the view that once you're gone, you're gone.
:16:44. > :16:51.I just want to leave the field clear, I don't want to make another
:16:52. > :16:54.public statement about issues again because that would be unfair
:16:55. > :16:59.on whoever succeeds me and I hope I can keep to that.
:17:00. > :17:01.Archbishop Barry Morgan, thank you very much.
:17:02. > :17:09.The Archbishop of Wales talking to Felicity Evans.
:17:10. > :17:12.Teresa May is meeting the new US President, Donald Trump
:17:13. > :17:15.and trade is likely to be high on the agenda.
:17:16. > :17:18.It's a visit being followed here by drinks producers -
:17:19. > :17:20.some of whom are due to visit the US soon.
:17:21. > :17:24.Wales exported around ?9 million worth of drinks in 2015.
:17:25. > :17:26.And the co-founder of one of Wales' newest breweries
:17:27. > :17:29.says he's confident new, global trade deals will benefit
:17:30. > :17:39.Capacity-wise, we're five times more than what we currently had so over
:17:40. > :17:43.a year, that's five million litres is what we can produce here.
:17:44. > :17:45.And that's what this place is all about.
:17:46. > :17:49.More beer, yes, but also more exports.
:17:50. > :17:53.Tiny Rebel already sell more beer in Norway than Wales.
:17:54. > :17:56.Whereas in the past brewery, we were doing a lot of it by hand,
:17:57. > :18:01.So it's made things a little bit easier.
:18:02. > :18:04.It means we can focus on other areas.
:18:05. > :18:07.And those other areas include America and China,
:18:08. > :18:11.But Bradley wants the cost and bureaucracy involved
:18:12. > :18:14.in selling his beer globally reduced.
:18:15. > :18:18.And hopes new trade deals after Brexit will help.
:18:19. > :18:20.For us, this is a long-term thing whichever market we go into.
:18:21. > :18:25.So hopefully Britain can set up a bit more of bespoke and even
:18:26. > :18:28.better trading terms with certain countries.
:18:29. > :18:32.Which will benefit us in the long run.
:18:33. > :18:35.Wales exported around ?9 million worth of drinks in 2015.
:18:36. > :18:42.Currently, British beer, as it travels towards an EU border,
:18:43. > :18:51.Although businesses hope alternative global deals can be struck up.
:18:52. > :18:53.Including in America, where Teresa May is meeting
:18:54. > :18:57.the new US President, Donald Trump.
:18:58. > :19:02.But some are worried about his protectionist policies.
:19:03. > :19:05.The Otley brewery in Pontypridd - another well known
:19:06. > :19:10.They too are "dipping their toe" into the export market.
:19:11. > :19:13.Funnily enough, China is going mad for Oh Ho Ho.
:19:14. > :19:16.Originally, we brewed Oh Ho Ho for a Christmas market.
:19:17. > :19:21.But we've never made a fuss about putting Christmas on the label
:19:22. > :19:23.or selling it or promoting it as a Christmas beer.
:19:24. > :19:26.So they're taking that all year round.
:19:27. > :19:29.Bosses here have big hopes for China, but feels there's too
:19:30. > :19:33.much uncertainty to be able to plan post-Brexit.
:19:34. > :19:36.With Brexit and Donald Trump in America, I can see it becoming
:19:37. > :19:42.a bit more difficult in Europe if tariffs are brought in for trade.
:19:43. > :19:45.But then you just have to look at other parts of Europe and see
:19:46. > :19:48.This is what the new Tiny Rebel brewery could look
:19:49. > :19:52.And it's a future that could hold great potential
:19:53. > :20:00.But the Welsh Government and a Committee of AM's say access
:20:01. > :20:03.to the EU single market is key for Welsh firms.

:20:19. > :20:20.It's described as the Entertainment Capital of the World,
:20:21. > :20:22.and in the bright lights of Las Vegas tomorrow

:20:58. > :21:01.against Jonathan Victor Barros at the MGM Grand.
:21:02. > :21:04.The dream for every fighter and the goal is to one day box
:21:05. > :21:10.And to most it's not a realistic dream.
:21:11. > :21:16.I go to show with hard work, with that dream and focus,
:21:17. > :21:19.hard work and dedication, you can make it possible.
:21:20. > :21:24.This is Lee Selby's 25th professional bout
:21:25. > :21:29.and of his previous 24, he's won 23 and lost just one.
:21:30. > :21:34.And of those 23 victories, eight have come via knockout.

:22:00. > :22:03.who defends his crown against Leo Santa Cruz.
:22:04. > :22:07.Then, it could be unification against Selby.
:22:08. > :22:09.I would love to see it, whether it's going to be
:22:10. > :22:12.at Windsor Park or Ravenhill, where they play the rugby
:22:13. > :22:15.or whatever, we'd love it to be in an outdoor arena in the summer.
:22:16. > :22:17.But you've got to think about Saturday night.
:22:18. > :22:19.That's the only thing we're focussing on.
:22:20. > :22:22.I can think about pitching ahead, but we're 100%
:22:23. > :22:29.I want to be involved in big fights after this and Selby's
:22:30. > :22:33.Huge respect for Lee Selby and I think it's the same
:22:34. > :22:38.I respect him, great fighter, but I would love
:22:39. > :22:43.So a mouth-watering duel with Frampton is Selby's ultimate

:23:11. > :23:18.He says playing a game on deadline day isn't ideal.
:23:19. > :23:20.I don't envisage running up the touchline to the fax
:23:21. > :23:22.machine during the game, if I'm honest.
:23:23. > :23:25.I mean, it's not as if we are looking for major

:23:33. > :23:36.quarter final against Stade Francais away from the Liberty Stadium.
:23:37. > :23:45.on the 1st Sunday in April, but that could clash
:23:46. > :23:47.-- first with Swansea City's Premier League match against Middlesbrough
:23:48. > :23:50.if Sky decide to move that game to the Sunday and televise it.

:24:20. > :24:22.It's the first weekend where some of the Welsh athletes can start
:24:23. > :24:24.to try and get those qualifying performances out.
:24:25. > :24:27.It's the start of a really exciting year, really.
:24:28. > :24:31.I've made a few technical changes, especially my approach
:24:32. > :24:34.to the first hurdle, so I've gone from eight strides
:24:35. > :24:38.For me, indoors has always been about practising that and cementing
:24:39. > :24:40.that for the outdoor season and hopefully trying to make it
:24:41. > :24:49.to the team in London and being competitive there.
:24:50. > :24:50.The indoor champs in Cardiff tomorrow.
:24:51. > :24:56.Back to tonight, and the weather forecast.
:24:57. > :25:04.After a couple of cold days, blustery and more unsettled through
:25:05. > :25:07.the weekend, rain at times but eventually turning mild air. The
:25:08. > :25:12.pressure chart shows a cold front moving from west to east across
:25:13. > :25:17.Wales overnight bringing rain at times. Outbreaks of rain become more
:25:18. > :25:21.widespread, heavy and persistent, wintry over higher ground, easing
:25:22. > :25:29.from the west by dawn but misty and murky with overnight lows of six
:25:30. > :25:36.Celsius. Tomorrow, fog patches, rain will clear eastwards with dry and
:25:37. > :25:38.bright spells in the morning but a scattering of showers will push in
:25:39. > :25:43.from the west. Wintry on high ground, some heavy with a risk of
:25:44. > :25:51.thunder. Dreyer spells in between. Temperatures higher than today.
:25:52. > :25:55.Tomorrow night, those showers Peter Wright, try for a time, missed and
:25:56. > :26:00.fog developing and then clouding over with outbreaks of rain starting
:26:01. > :26:05.to move them from the west. Wear it is clearer and still in the cold,
:26:06. > :26:10.temperatures are hovering at freezing. Less cold further west as
:26:11. > :26:14.the rain arrives. That's because there's warm front moves eastwards
:26:15. > :26:20.through Sunday and the winds turn were south-westerly. Milder but more
:26:21. > :26:25.settled Atlantic influence to our weather. Uncertainty as to how far
:26:26. > :26:29.north this system will spread. Misty murky start on Sunday, turning
:26:30. > :26:34.cloudy with drizzle and spells of rain moves eastwards to the day.
:26:35. > :26:38.More likely to be heavier in the south and turning blustery as the
:26:39. > :26:41.winds pick up. Clearing from the south-west later in the day that
:26:42. > :26:48.remaining mistake and becoming milder with top temperatures of
:26:49. > :26:52.seven to 10 Celsius. That sets us up for a milder but more changeable
:26:53. > :26:55.starting next week, we swap the better but dry continental
:26:56. > :26:57.error-free Atlantic conditions, less cold but windy and more rain at
:26:58. > :27:07.times. As Theresa May becomes the first
:27:08. > :27:11.foreign leader to be welcome to the White House since Donald Trump took
:27:12. > :27:14.office, the new American president described the special relationship
:27:15. > :27:23.between the UK and the US as one of the great forces in history. We
:27:24. > :27:28.pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship. Britain
:27:29. > :27:29.is a blessing to the world and our relationship has never been
:27:30. > :27:30.stronger. We're back with our next update
:27:31. > :27:33.after the BBC News at Ten. For now though, from all
