:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today, our headlines tonight:
:00:00. > :00:00.Sport Wales, the organisation which promotes and develops sport
:00:00. > :00:15.in Wales, sees its chair and vice-chair suspended.
:00:16. > :00:20.The real problems right at the top of this organisation show no sign of
:00:21. > :00:21.abating. They were in the business of tin
:00:22. > :00:23.cans, tonight serious questions about the millions of pounds
:00:24. > :00:25.of public money given to this Swansea company
:00:26. > :00:28.which later went bust. Samantha Broome says
:00:29. > :00:31.she was discriminated Tonight a charity warns disabled
:00:32. > :00:35.people and their families I try to shield it from
:00:36. > :00:40.them as much as I can because I don't want them to worry
:00:41. > :00:45.that I'm not in work. They don't have to worry about that,
:00:46. > :00:47.that's my concern, It's time for Tata steel workers
:00:48. > :00:54.to decide on the future Canoeists, paddlers and swimmers
:00:55. > :01:20.want a change in the law. The crisis at the top
:01:21. > :01:23.of the organisation which develops grassroots and elite sport in Wales
:01:24. > :01:26.has intensified tonight. The chair and vice chair
:01:27. > :01:30.of Sport Wales have been suspended while separate complaints
:01:31. > :01:34.and concerns are looked into. A review by the Welsh Government
:01:35. > :01:38.also found there has been a significant breakdown of relations
:01:39. > :01:40.at a senior level. More from our political
:01:41. > :01:57.editor Nick Servini. It is the main body promoting sport
:01:58. > :02:02.in Wales but the lid has been lifted on a board brought to a standstill
:02:03. > :02:07.by infighting. Sport Wales aim was to get every child hooked on sport
:02:08. > :02:12.is an ambitious target backed by more than ?22 million of public
:02:13. > :02:16.money. But in November last year the activities of the entire board was
:02:17. > :02:20.suspended after a vote of no-confidence this man, the current
:02:21. > :02:25.chair and former business troubleshooter Paul Thomas by the
:02:26. > :02:29.other members of the board. In a statement the public health Minister
:02:30. > :02:33.Rebecca Evans confirmed that while the board would be reinstated, Paul
:02:34. > :02:38.Thomas would be suspended while formal complaint into him I looked
:02:39. > :02:41.into. The vice chair Adele Baumgardt is also suspended because of
:02:42. > :02:44.separate concerns around the conducive functioning of the board
:02:45. > :02:50.and its relationship with Welsh ministers. The minister gave few
:02:51. > :02:54.details of whatever officials discovered in their two-month review
:02:55. > :03:02.and other than to indicate major problems at the top. Because of
:03:03. > :03:06.issues and on the basis of legal advice it would be inappropriate for
:03:07. > :03:10.me to comment in detail on the findings of the review. I do want to
:03:11. > :03:14.make clear for the avoidance of doubt that the conclusions are
:03:15. > :03:16.principally related to a significant breakdown in interpersonal
:03:17. > :03:21.relationships at a senior level within Sport Wales. Spot Wales will
:03:22. > :03:28.be able to plan, distributor friends to grassroots sports. As the rest of
:03:29. > :03:33.the board has been reinstated under an interim chair. Paul Thomas is no
:03:34. > :03:38.stranger to controversy. A business academic and a troubleshooter in a
:03:39. > :03:41.BBC programme he was sent in to try to make being collecting in Blaenau
:03:42. > :03:47.Gwent more efficient. He isn't afraid to be abrasive. He conducted
:03:48. > :03:54.an internal review in November based on independent research it claimed
:03:55. > :03:59.organisation lacks transparency, was indeed acclamation and had been
:04:00. > :04:05.unwilling to listen. One of the main aims of Sport Wales
:04:06. > :04:10.is to help stars like this and Jazz Carlin win medals in major
:04:11. > :04:14.competitions. Olympic and Commonwealth Games coach was among
:04:15. > :04:18.those to speak anonymously in the review. The culture said elite
:04:19. > :04:22.sports would function without spot Wales. Another sports speaking
:04:23. > :04:26.anonymously said he had been repeatedly surprised how insular
:04:27. > :04:30.Sport Wales had become. The minister has asked for this review to be
:04:31. > :04:32.completed by an independent panel member.
:04:33. > :04:36.Nick, it's difficult to see how this will be resolved quickly?
:04:37. > :04:43.That is right. Wasn't it striking that Rebecca Evans failed to give a
:04:44. > :04:50.time frame as to when she hopes to resolve matters in this case. Even
:04:51. > :04:57.in the context of Minister Mill language used in the chamber you get
:04:58. > :05:00.an overwhelming sense of a pretty spectacular breakdown in
:05:01. > :05:04.communications in relations right at the top of the organisation. Away
:05:05. > :05:08.from the personality and it is difficult at this case, there are
:05:09. > :05:14.unresolved differences as I alluded to. There is this internal review
:05:15. > :05:21.which criticised the strategic direction of Sport Wales and the way
:05:22. > :05:25.it is run. That review will be completed by an independent panel
:05:26. > :05:31.member. It'll be fascinating to see whether the ministers here agree
:05:32. > :05:36.with those substantive findings and in due course allowed Paul Thomas
:05:37. > :05:39.back. If that happens, presumably, he will take the organisation in a
:05:40. > :05:44.different direction to whether it is going at the moment. In the
:05:45. > :05:49.meantime, this is an organisation that can have some degree of
:05:50. > :05:53.normality because the rest of the board are back. They have an interim
:05:54. > :05:57.chair in place and they can get on with the day-to-day business of
:05:58. > :06:02.planning the next financial year which will be crucial in the here
:06:03. > :06:04.and now of Sport Wales. Serious question marks around the future.
:06:05. > :06:06.The First Minister says his former economy minister was "guided"
:06:07. > :06:09.by experts when she gave more than ?3 million to a Swansea
:06:10. > :06:13.steel-coating company that later went bust.
:06:14. > :06:15.Edwina Hart has been criticised for sanctioning grants
:06:16. > :06:18.and loans for Kancoat despite being told by a government
:06:19. > :06:21.official that its business plan was "weak and inconsistent".
:06:22. > :06:31.More from our political reporter Paul Martin.
:06:32. > :06:39.Cans have been coated here for years. By American firm. After it's
:06:40. > :06:44.left, Kancoat was an attempt to restart of the old production line.
:06:45. > :06:47.It couldn't attract private finance but the Welsh Government is putting
:06:48. > :06:51.millions in grants and loans. To no avail. Six months after the final
:06:52. > :06:57.government loan Kancoat went bust. But then economy Minister took the
:06:58. > :07:03.decision to back the firm. Most of the money was put in after a civil
:07:04. > :07:06.service review described Kancoat's business plan as weak and
:07:07. > :07:10.inconsistent. Why did she continued to back it? The First Minister told
:07:11. > :07:15.the Assembly today she had been acting on advice. The investment
:07:16. > :07:22.panel recommended approval of the investment. The minister was guided
:07:23. > :07:27.by that. It seems Edwina Hart was effectively weighing up competing
:07:28. > :07:32.civil service advice. On the one hand, the sceptical due diligence
:07:33. > :07:36.review and on the other the investment panel recommending she
:07:37. > :07:39.support the firm. She went with the panel's recommendation. The
:07:40. > :07:44.government acknowledges the panel got it wrong. Back in the chamber,
:07:45. > :07:49.the Conservative leader was looking for an apology. Will you apologise
:07:50. > :07:52.for the loss of this money which is taxpayers money come in this
:07:53. > :07:57.particular instance when so many warnings were made as so many of
:07:58. > :08:01.those warnings were ignored by your then Minister, and ultimately it is
:08:02. > :08:05.the taxpayers los? I accept what the Welsh Conservatives have said the
:08:06. > :08:11.stock he understood the situation in terms of the initial grant. This is
:08:12. > :08:14.a start-up business, start-up businesses are inherently risky but
:08:15. > :08:20.there must be an acceptance of risk by government. Today's report by the
:08:21. > :08:25.cross-party Public Accounts Committee calls for a considered
:08:26. > :08:30.approach to risk identification and mitigation in the future. It says
:08:31. > :08:35.investment decisions that go against official advice should be clearly
:08:36. > :08:39.documented. This afternoon, the economy secretary suggested the
:08:40. > :08:46.recommendations would be accepted. A number of changes have already been
:08:47. > :08:51.made. It is a case of fact and indisputable that in the previous
:08:52. > :08:57.Assembly term, during which time my predecessor oversaw record growth,
:08:58. > :09:02.the success rate of businesses supported by Welsh Government was
:09:03. > :09:08.more than 97%. The debate over risk versus reward rolls on. Wales Audit
:09:09. > :09:09.Office will begin a broad report on government support for business.

:09:22. > :09:24.didn't use a pedestrian crossing when a vehicle driven by his
:09:25. > :09:28.teacher, Christopher Brooks, hit him at Maesteg Comprehensive
:09:29. > :09:35.The First Minister has called for calm following the dropping
:09:36. > :09:38.of English-stream education at a Carmarthenshire primary school.
:09:39. > :09:41.Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood accused some Labour members
:09:42. > :09:44.of working with Ukip in a campaign against the changes

:10:01. > :10:04.Conwy council has agreed to remove the damaged part of Victoria Pier
:10:05. > :10:08.so it can be saved and stored for future restoration.

:10:14. > :10:18.way of knowing how much it will cost.
:10:19. > :10:20.Too many people with disabilities are being prevented
:10:21. > :10:23.from returning to work because employers are unwilling
:10:24. > :10:27.That's according to Citizens Advice Cymru which says
:10:28. > :10:31.people who are disabled or have a long term health problem
:10:32. > :10:35.are a third less likely to be in work than those who are healthy.

:11:12. > :11:15.want them to worry that I'm not in work.
:11:16. > :11:18.They don't have to worry about that, that is my concern,

:11:44. > :11:46.Clients have told us that it has a detrimental effect on their mental
:11:47. > :11:48.health, that has deteriorated, or even their physical health.
:11:49. > :11:51.Other people feel they've had no choice but to leave their job
:11:52. > :11:55.voluntarily which has meant they are left in a

:11:58. > :12:01.The report highlights that in Wales 79% of working age people
:12:02. > :12:03.are in employment but when it comes to those with a

:12:41. > :12:43.finding things on things like the Business Wales websites can
:12:44. > :12:45.sometimes be difficult although the information

:15:05. > :15:09.quite clear what that will mean what will happen if the vote to reject

:20:56. > :21:01.It is so different to 2014 where she had to stay at home
:21:02. > :21:06.and watch as England's Nicola Adams won gold.
:21:07. > :21:09.Adams herself has now gone pro as well, speculation two of
:21:10. > :21:14.the best female boxers in the UK could meet in the ring in future.
:21:15. > :21:20.I believe if I had have gone to the Commonwealth Games it would have
:21:21. > :21:22.been me coming home with the gold medal.
:21:23. > :21:25.I respect her, I think she is a fantastic boxer.
:21:26. > :21:28.But that is what, I want to be the best.
:21:29. > :21:34.There's no point wanting to be second in this game.
:21:35. > :21:38.Back at home in Blaenau Gwent, she is a teaching assistant
:21:39. > :21:42.by day, a trainer for others at night.
:21:43. > :21:49.A pro with promise who refuses to lie down.
:21:50. > :21:52.Most of us have heard of London's Marble Arch
:21:53. > :21:56.but did you know the famous monument said to be the place where distances
:21:57. > :21:58.are measured from has a sister here in Wales?
:21:59. > :22:00.Marble Arch sits at one end of the A5 road
:22:01. > :22:03.and here the Holyhead Arch is at the other.
:22:04. > :22:06.But ours is largely forgotten so now there's a call to move it somewhere
:22:07. > :22:11.It is the story of two arches at opposite ends of one of Britain's
:22:12. > :22:18.In London, Marble Arch so famous that it lends its name to
:22:19. > :22:22.In Holyhead, the other slightly older one.
:22:23. > :22:29.Once a gateway to Wales, the Holyhead Arch is marooned,
:22:30. > :22:33.now stranded by the changing shape of the port.
:22:34. > :22:36.The inscription reads, it is in memory of a visit Anglesey by
:22:37. > :22:42.But what this arch really celebrates is something far
:22:43. > :22:47.The completion of Britain's first modern road.
:22:48. > :22:51.The first fully engineered roads since Roman times.
:22:52. > :22:54.250 miles from Holyhead to London or should that
:22:55. > :23:02.One of Britain's severest critics pays a visit.
:23:03. > :23:07.The Holyhead arch was already more than 100 years old when
:23:08. > :23:13.Then, as now, it was all about Ireland.
:23:14. > :23:18.That is why Thomas Telford built his road, the A5 linking the
:23:19. > :23:22.first city of Empire, London, with arguably the second, Dublin.
:23:23. > :23:25.All the traffic passed through Holyhead and
:23:26. > :23:29.Should the arch be moved out of the port and where the A5
:23:30. > :23:37.Put it at the start of the A5, not at the end of the A5.
:23:38. > :23:43.Put it in London, I'll guarantee you that it
:23:44. > :23:47.cleaned up and quite a lot of people watching it.
:23:48. > :23:51.If we can have half of those people that go to see Marble
:23:52. > :23:59.Arch in London in Holyhead, what a fantastic idea.
:24:00. > :24:04.The company which owns the port and the art doesn't seem particularly
:24:05. > :24:09.bothered about losing it. They aren't paying for its move and
:24:10. > :24:14.finding somewhere to put the arch, there are other issues. It is listed
:24:15. > :24:19.and so are the buildings next to it. The old Customs house and harbour
:24:20. > :24:21.office. Inherited terms, equally important. Should they move?
:24:22. > :24:23.Now, the Welsh Assembly welcomed a very special guest
:24:24. > :24:27.Vidar, a former army sniffer dog, served in Afghanistan and sniffed
:24:28. > :24:31.out roadside bombs that could have killed British troops.
:24:32. > :24:34.He saved countless lives, but was forced to retire
:24:35. > :24:36.when he became scared of loud noises.
:24:37. > :24:39.The hero dog was then adopted by reserve army
:24:40. > :24:42.Well, he certainly deserves a treat or two.
:24:43. > :24:45.He spent two years out there searching for bombs and arms and
:24:46. > :24:49.Saved countless lives, military and civilian.
:24:50. > :24:52.He started showing signs of being gun shy,
:24:53. > :24:55.which he reacted, he became scared and didn't like the gunfire.
:24:56. > :24:59.He started to switch off and wanting to run away all the time.
:25:00. > :25:05.You needed a fur coat if you were outside today.
:25:06. > :25:13.Let's see what the weather has in store, Derek what have you got?
:25:14. > :25:26.It is going to turn milder. Daytime temperatures up to ten or 11
:25:27. > :25:31.Celsius. Clearly it in some areas of Kennedy again with this beautiful
:25:32. > :25:35.sunset. This evening, spots of rain in the east. Dry overnight for
:25:36. > :25:43.Valentines night. Some mist and fog patches. A drop of rain in
:25:44. > :25:47.Pembrokeshire. Not a wet night. He is the pics of eight o'clock in the
:25:48. > :25:55.morning. Most of north and mid Wales try, a bit grey and murky in places.
:25:56. > :25:58.Not dry everywhere in the morning because in the south and the
:25:59. > :26:02.south-west we will have some rain and that could be on the heavy side.
:26:03. > :26:08.During the day, the rain will spread northwards. It will clear and we
:26:09. > :26:12.will see dry and brighter weather moving in from the south-west in the
:26:13. > :26:16.afternoon and the sun will come out with a view sellers. Temperatures
:26:17. > :26:21.will be higher than today. The wind turning round into the south-west.
:26:22. > :26:25.In Wrexham tomorrow, a dry morning, a little bit of rain in the
:26:26. > :26:31.afternoon but try and write later. In Carmarthenshire, some rain in the
:26:32. > :26:36.morning, dry and brightening up in the afternoon. Tomorrow evening a
:26:37. > :26:40.few showers will clear through. Dry overnight bar the odd show in the
:26:41. > :26:43.north and over Cardigan Bay. Fog patches in Monmouthshire with
:26:44. > :26:51.damages imposed dropping to four. Fears that should be a decent day.
:26:52. > :26:56.The fog will lift. If few showers in the north and west. More dry weather
:26:57. > :26:58.on Friday. We may see some rain later in the south and west.
:26:59. > :27:02.US National Security adviser Michael Flynn has resigned over
:27:03. > :27:04.allegations he discussed US sanctions with Russia before
:27:05. > :27:08.Mr Flynn is said to have misled officials about his conversations
:27:09. > :27:15.with Russia's ambassador before his own appointment.
:27:16. > :27:22.The chair and vice-chair of sport in Wales, the organisation which
:27:23. > :27:25.develops sports have been suspended while separate complaint concerns
:27:26. > :27:28.and looked into. A review by the Welsh Government also found a
:27:29. > :27:30.significant breakdown of relations at a senior level.
:27:31. > :27:33.I'll have an update for you here at eight o'clock and again
:27:34. > :27:36.That's Wales Today, thank you for watching.
:27:37. > :27:38.From all of us on the programme, good evening.
