:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today - our headlines tonight.

:00:00. > :00:07.Thousands of steelworkers at Tata vote to accept less generous

:00:08. > :00:18.pensions in a bid to secure the future of the industry.

:00:19. > :00:26.We are tired, frustrated, and we need to rebuild confidence in

:00:27. > :00:28.ourselves, in the company, and put us back where we need to be.

:00:29. > :00:31.So after a year of being threatened with closure -

:00:32. > :00:50.They say we'll all be driving electric cars soon -

:00:51. > :00:56.The last chapter for shops like this high street bookseller.

:00:57. > :01:03.The rise in business rates driving firms like this.

:01:04. > :01:06.Crowds turn out to debate the future for the valleys.

:01:07. > :01:08.But how will the latest regeneration initiative succeed -

:01:09. > :01:23.What I want to know is what buses are running at ten o'clock, because

:01:24. > :01:28.they all finish at six o'clock. Getting the community is fed back,

:01:29. > :01:30.it's not about money. -- spirit back.

:01:31. > :01:32.And you've probably never heard of him -

:01:33. > :01:34.but schoolboy Jackson Page from Ebbw Vale is taking

:01:35. > :01:39.They've voted for less money in future to save their jobs.

:01:40. > :01:43.Thousands of Tata steelworkers have overwhelmingly backed a deal that

:01:44. > :01:45.will end the company's final salary pension scheme.

:01:46. > :01:49.The three unions at the company's UK plants had recommended

:01:50. > :01:58.that their members, including 6,000 in Wales, accept the deal.

:01:59. > :02:00.Tata's offer included a ?1 billion investment

:02:01. > :02:02.commitment at Port Talbot - and no compulsory job losses.

:02:03. > :02:10.More from our Business Correspondent Brian Meechan.

:02:11. > :02:17.28-year-old Scot has been working at Port Talbot the ten years, people at

:02:18. > :02:21.his dad into the Tata plant. He and his workmates about a tough decision

:02:22. > :02:25.to make. What does it mean you in particular and the younger workers?

:02:26. > :02:30.The steep engine is not so at the front of our minds as the older

:02:31. > :02:39.workforce, but it gives us hope -- obviously pensions are not at the

:02:40. > :02:42.front of our minds. If Tata keep to their commitments, and the

:02:43. > :02:46.government steps up and commit to the steel industry, hopefully that

:02:47. > :02:50.will give us a future we deserve. Workers are being offered a pension

:02:51. > :02:55.which will give them a lot less in retirement than their current one.

:02:56. > :03:01.The company will pay 10% into the pension part, all of workers paying

:03:02. > :03:04.6%. Tarter says it is essential to secure the long-term future of Port

:03:05. > :03:13.Talbot and the other plants. The pension deal is also tied to a

:03:14. > :03:15.ten-year ?1 billion investment plan to support steel-making at the site.

:03:16. > :03:20.A minimum five-year commitment to keeping to blast furnaces at the

:03:21. > :03:24.plant, and a commitment to seek to avoid compulsory redundancies in

:03:25. > :03:29.that time. Although the employees at Port Talbot have voted on it, it was

:03:30. > :03:33.inevitable, they didn't have a choice on the matter. The company

:03:34. > :03:37.pension scheme is dead in the private sector, companies are

:03:38. > :03:42.closing it left, right and centre, we had Tesco a year ago, Royal Mail

:03:43. > :03:46.are closing it, it is the way of the world. When the deal was announced

:03:47. > :03:50.in December, the workforce seems split and there was a significant

:03:51. > :03:57.chance it would be rejected. In the end, members of the community union

:03:58. > :04:05.that 72% in favour in a turnout of 70%. Unite reported a 75% vote in

:04:06. > :04:11.favour, while GMB said its members voted yes by 74% in a 51% turnout.

:04:12. > :04:15.Local union leaders who also work at Port Talbot initially said they

:04:16. > :04:19.would let members decide themselves, but last month they urged them to

:04:20. > :04:23.back the deals, arguing the alternative was unthinkable. I don't

:04:24. > :04:29.think anybody had any great pleasure in putting the X in the box, and

:04:30. > :04:36.people have reflected and thought of the future. It is deals at

:04:37. > :04:41.sacrifice, it is a men's to do it. It is the lesser of two evils. Do

:04:42. > :04:47.you think Tata can rebuild trust? Everybody has got to the stage where

:04:48. > :04:54.we are tired, frustrated, tired, and doing need to rebuild confidence in

:04:55. > :04:58.ourselves, in the company, and put us back where we need to be. There's

:04:59. > :05:02.still a lot more to happen, including what happened overall.

:05:03. > :05:10.Just because the boat has come back with a yes, doesn't mean to say we

:05:11. > :05:14.stop. We will carry on, we would hold a company to account, the

:05:15. > :05:18.government to step up to the plate. And we will make sure what is best

:05:19. > :05:25.for us. The future of Port Talbot and the rest of the UK operations

:05:26. > :05:28.may be a little clearer tonight, but there are many more decisions to be

:05:29. > :05:29.made about what that future looks like.

:05:30. > :05:31.Let's talk to Brian in Port Talbot now.

:05:32. > :05:33.There's been a year of uncertainty for Tata workers -

:05:34. > :05:38.does today's vote draw a line under it all?

:05:39. > :05:46.This certainly isn't the end. Tata has said it is please workers have

:05:47. > :05:50.signed up to this plan for the long-term future, but there will be

:05:51. > :05:56.questions about Tata delivering on the promises and pledges it has

:05:57. > :06:00.made, and also another big decision that is coming along, Tata wants to

:06:01. > :06:04.take this pension scheme and is 130,000 members and separated

:06:05. > :06:09.completely from the company, and it will have to get the support of

:06:10. > :06:14.regulators and the UK Government in order to achieve that. There's also

:06:15. > :06:17.questions for the UK Government about how steel fits into its

:06:18. > :06:22.industrial strategy, that it has been talking about, and also how

:06:23. > :06:28.important Steelers in its spirited negotiations, because did say it was

:06:29. > :06:31.fairly low down in comparison to some other sectors -- Brexit

:06:32. > :06:35.negotiations. There will be a lot of pressure on the UK Government to

:06:36. > :06:37.make sure steel continues to have a place at the table it has had in the

:06:38. > :06:38.last year. Wales urgently needs

:06:39. > :06:42.a network of rapid charging That's the call from campaigners

:06:43. > :06:45.who claim a lack of infrastructure in rural Wales is holding back

:06:46. > :06:48.the growth of low carbon vehicles. Currently the only rapid charging

:06:49. > :06:52.points available to the public Here's our Environment

:06:53. > :07:00.Correspondent, Steffan Messenger. Making the switch from a diesel van

:07:01. > :07:04.to an electric model was all about cutting fuel costs and

:07:05. > :07:07.helping the environment Based in Newtown in Powys,

:07:08. > :07:14.he delivers plumbing and heating He's installed his own charger,

:07:15. > :07:34.which tops up the van in around four But far from helping his business,

:07:35. > :07:38.he's found that a lack of points to plug into whilst he's out

:07:39. > :07:41.and about means his new vehicle is On a fully charged battery, you're

:07:42. > :07:45.basically, you get about 70 miles. I mean, people talk about this thing

:07:46. > :07:48.of range anxiety, that's really You are very conscious of how far

:07:49. > :07:54.you can actually go. Currently to operate

:07:55. > :07:56.an electric vehicle in mid Currently so-called rapid

:07:57. > :08:06.charging points that can top up an electric car in around

:08:07. > :08:09.20 to 30 minutes are locations along the A55,

:08:10. > :08:15.and eight stops along the M4. Without some serious

:08:16. > :08:17.forward planning, the rest of Wales is, in Richard's

:08:18. > :08:21.words, a no go zone. We are trying to do the right thing,

:08:22. > :08:25.we are trying to be green, we are trying to have a carbon

:08:26. > :08:28.neutral standpoint. So when you're trying to do

:08:29. > :08:32.the right thing and everything seems against you, it's

:08:33. > :08:34.quite a difficult... Use of electric cars

:08:35. > :08:39.is growing in Wales. Latest figures show

:08:40. > :08:43.there are 1,725 licensed vehicles here, compared

:08:44. > :08:48.to just 70 back in 2012. The Welsh government says it wants

:08:49. > :08:51.to see that continued. More of us choosing

:08:52. > :08:52.electric vehicles will help tackle carbon

:08:53. > :08:56.emissions and air pollution. But campaigners say a lack

:08:57. > :08:59.of charging infrastructure means the switch isn't happening

:09:00. > :09:02.as quickly as it could. At the moment, you can't

:09:03. > :09:04.travel from north The trouble is, it's

:09:05. > :09:09.a chicken and egg situation. People want to travel and use

:09:10. > :09:11.electric vehicles, but they can't because infrastructure isn't

:09:12. > :09:13.there, and infrastructure isn't going to be built until

:09:14. > :09:15.the demand is there. What I would like to see

:09:16. > :09:18.is government recognising it does need some grants

:09:19. > :09:21.and funding support. Back in 2015, a report by transport

:09:22. > :09:29.exports commissioned by Back in 2015, a report by transport

:09:30. > :09:31.experts commissioned by the Welsh government made a string

:09:32. > :09:34.of recommendations to improve the They included installing charge

:09:35. > :09:37.points in all government property and encouraging local

:09:38. > :09:39.authorities to do the same. All the places people

:09:40. > :09:41.want to go need to And so until we get

:09:42. > :09:46.that level, I think we are still going to struggle a bit

:09:47. > :09:50.to really make a difference in terms of our carbon emissions

:09:51. > :09:51.from vehicles. The Welsh government told us

:09:52. > :09:53.it was considering the recommendations that it received

:09:54. > :09:56.and was committed to helping the low Back in Newtown, Richard is hoping

:09:57. > :10:01.it won't be too long before he has other faster points to plug into,

:10:02. > :10:08.apart from his own. A 23-year-old man from south

:10:09. > :10:10.Wales will appear before Westminster Magistrates tomorrow

:10:11. > :10:14.charged with terrorism offences. Nathan Saunders, from Tredegar,

:10:15. > :10:17.was arrested earlier this month, and is accused of possessing

:10:18. > :10:21.information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing

:10:22. > :10:25.an act of terrorism. Severn Trent has

:10:26. > :10:27.completed its takeover Shareholders were against the deal

:10:28. > :10:32.because of fears over job But they dropped an appeal

:10:33. > :10:41.opposing it on Monday. Businesses could close up

:10:42. > :10:43.and down our high streets because of a rise in business

:10:44. > :10:45.rates this April. Millions of pounds of rates went

:10:46. > :10:50.unpaid in Wales last year and property experts have warned

:10:51. > :11:06.things could get worse. An independent book shop, remember

:11:07. > :11:10.those? This one in the Vale of Glamorgan has been selling to all

:11:11. > :11:16.ages for 30 years. But competition online and a rise in attacks it pays

:11:17. > :11:22.other sharp, business rates set by a government body means it may not be

:11:23. > :11:29.a fairy tale feature. I don't think any businessman can effectively

:11:30. > :11:38.programme etude in 70% rise in turnover. So once we get two years

:11:39. > :11:43.to win free -- 270%. Business rates are taxed, go towards paying for

:11:44. > :11:49.public services. More than ?900 million was collected in Wales last

:11:50. > :11:55.year. But 50 million went unpaid. A ?20 million rise in ten years. But

:11:56. > :12:02.if there is already millions in business rates going uncollected,

:12:03. > :12:06.what affect will shops like this, if they struggle to pay it, have that

:12:07. > :12:11.overall pot? Some property consultants believe it could cause

:12:12. > :12:16.it to rise. Absolutely there is a potential for that to grow. And at a

:12:17. > :12:21.steep away than we've seen in the last decade? I the liability is

:12:22. > :12:25.increasing, people were struggling before, there's nothing to suggest

:12:26. > :12:28.anything will become easier for them. And you could end of seeing a

:12:29. > :12:35.lot more vacant properties on the High Street as a result. The finance

:12:36. > :12:39.secretary said small businesses should know by the end of the week

:12:40. > :12:43.exactly how he plans to help them. Business is on high streets like

:12:44. > :12:47.this will receive an extra ?20 million, say the Welsh government,

:12:48. > :12:54.rates are generally going down in well cities. They are working

:12:55. > :12:58.targeting relief, but they admit timescales have been challenging.

:12:59. > :13:01.But the rate rise now weeks away, some real businesses say they need

:13:02. > :13:04.help now. Much more to come

:13:05. > :13:05.before seven o'clock. Sweeping up syringes -

:13:06. > :13:08.how Wrexham's trying to get clean by taking drugs paraphernalia

:13:09. > :13:12.off the streets. And while his friends are in school

:13:13. > :13:15.- teenager Jackson Page from Ebbw Vale is sharing the stage

:13:16. > :13:27.with some of the world's best. The minister in charge

:13:28. > :13:30.of the new body which aims to raise living standards in the south Wales

:13:31. > :13:33.valleys says it is not just about delivering shiny new roads,

:13:34. > :13:35.but about creating an industrial renaissance after a century

:13:36. > :13:38.of economic decline. Alun Davies was speaking

:13:39. > :13:40.after chairing his first public meeting of the valleys taskforce

:13:41. > :13:43.in Merthyr Tydfil. Our political editor

:13:44. > :13:56.Nick Servini went along. A roll call of regeneration schemes

:13:57. > :14:00.for the valleys has been a future bull feature of government for

:14:01. > :14:06.decades in Wales. A different time and a different approach. The latest

:14:07. > :14:10.ideas regeneration are discussed at a public meeting in Merthyr Tydfil

:14:11. > :14:15.of the Welsh government's valleys Task Force. Alun Davies is keen to

:14:16. > :14:18.show his credentials as a Tredegar Boy . A boat today in the primary

:14:19. > :14:23.Boye. A boat today in the primary school, in the classroom, where I

:14:24. > :14:28.started school. Labour politicians don't have to do this usually, but

:14:29. > :14:34.the party's tribal support is not what it once was here. What do

:14:35. > :14:38.people want? As you can expect, there's no shortage of concerns.

:14:39. > :14:41.What I want to know is, what buses are running at 10pm, because

:14:42. > :14:48.throughout the valleys they finish at 6pm. It is a fantastic idea in

:14:49. > :14:53.theory. When you put it into practice, it breaks down

:14:54. > :14:59.straightaway. Getting this community spirit back, it's not about money.

:15:00. > :15:03.We've got ?1 million available, not one person turned up from the

:15:04. > :15:12.community. The overall then sends is the dizzying array of subjects

:15:13. > :15:17.discussed -- overwhelming sense. From productivity to the state of

:15:18. > :15:22.late-night bus services, and it will be a real job of the machinery of

:15:23. > :15:27.government to knock this into some kind of coherent response. It's

:15:28. > :15:32.about the feet of the fire on the politicians to implement what has

:15:33. > :15:37.been discussed. In these days of austerity, we want value for money

:15:38. > :15:41.and action and results were that what we need. With Merthyr Tydfil

:15:42. > :15:45.we've already received a generous allowance of European money, and

:15:46. > :15:51.they think now it is beholden upon the people who perceive that money,

:15:52. > :15:55.including the college, that they begin to generate funds themselves.

:15:56. > :15:59.There will be no new government department with the Task Force, it

:16:00. > :16:04.will instead look to influence different ministers from the inside.

:16:05. > :16:07.But will it succeed where others have failed? You are telling me

:16:08. > :16:12.other people have tried before and they fail, therefore you will fail.

:16:13. > :16:17.That is the counsel of despair. I won't accept it. You from the

:16:18. > :16:27.valleys, I am from the bodies, you want this to succeed, I wanted to

:16:28. > :16:30.succeed. All others who are from the valleys want to see the succession.

:16:31. > :16:33.That means we need to work together to do it. What I'm saying, people in

:16:34. > :16:37.the valleys have seen the schemes come and go. What is different? It

:16:38. > :16:42.is bringing a razor-sharp focus on all the activities of government. No

:16:43. > :16:46.part of the government work is outside our scope. Billions have

:16:47. > :16:50.been spent regenerating the valleys over many years. The landscape is

:16:51. > :16:54.different now, particularly after Brexit, and the likelihood is it

:16:55. > :16:57.will have to be done in the future with far less money in the coffers.

:16:58. > :17:00.Able and talented pupils are not getting enough

:17:01. > :17:03.That's according to the education watchdog Estyn, which says schools

:17:04. > :17:06.instead focus on helping pupils on the borderline

:17:07. > :17:12.The Welsh government agrees, it says it needs to push more able pupils

:17:13. > :17:18.What can be done to tackle the growing number of needles

:17:19. > :17:22.and syringes discarded by drug users around Wrexham?

:17:23. > :17:25.That's the question being considered - after a report into so-called

:17:26. > :17:30."drug litter" recommended more co-operation between the council,

:17:31. > :17:35.A dedicated helpline for people to report the problem

:17:36. > :17:50.These images of discarded needles, prescription medication and other

:17:51. > :17:53.drug paraphernalia were taken by a Wrexham councillor close to the town

:17:54. > :17:56.centre last year. Others have called a greater action to tackle the

:17:57. > :18:01.problems is an award which they say pose a risk to residents and give

:18:02. > :18:06.the town a bad name. They tried to look at them, but the emphasis in my

:18:07. > :18:10.area has switched around where my residents of feeling vulnerable in

:18:11. > :18:16.the area. And too much emphasis in my regard is getting to these

:18:17. > :18:20.particular clients. Not just clients, there's a large group who

:18:21. > :18:25.aren't engaging with the agencies. Zoe is a volunteer with the drug and

:18:26. > :18:29.alcohol charity, she struggled with addiction herself and is working

:18:30. > :18:32.with others to try and make a positive contribution to society as

:18:33. > :18:39.part of a project to create true glitter. I injected, I smoked crack

:18:40. > :18:44.cocaine. If I to go into a empty shed take drugs, I would, I was

:18:45. > :18:49.desperate. So nowadays I go into these places and they tidy them up,

:18:50. > :18:52.I am making amends for the way I lived. Wrexham councillors are

:18:53. > :19:00.discussing research which says there should be better cooperation between

:19:01. > :19:04.people. And the charity has been given extra money to fund litter

:19:05. > :19:10.picks like this. Staff say it is often a minority of drug users

:19:11. > :19:14.leaving the letter. The majority use responsibly, there is a small

:19:15. > :19:19.minority that don't, quite often from the homeless, but not always.

:19:20. > :19:23.It is difficult to control that with those people. A pilot scheme to

:19:24. > :19:27.Wrexham councillors to report drug letter could be extended to the

:19:28. > :19:29.public, but towns and cities across Wales are affected with no quick fix

:19:30. > :19:31.insight. Football, and Cardiff City

:19:32. > :19:33.have moved into the top half of the Championship

:19:34. > :19:35.after a remarkable comeback Trailing 2-0 after the first 20

:19:36. > :19:40.minutes, Kadeem Harris started the comeback with two goals,

:19:41. > :19:41.before Craig Noone's long range strike -

:19:42. > :19:45.and a 90th minute penalty from Joe Ralls saw

:19:46. > :19:53.the Bluebirds winning 4-3. Success in the snooker for several

:19:54. > :19:56.Welsh players today. Lee Walker and Dominic Dale

:19:57. > :19:59.through to the last 32 But the star of the show

:20:00. > :20:05.was Jackson Page from Ebbw Vale. He's also through to the next

:20:06. > :20:09.round - out-performing some of the best players in the world -

:20:10. > :20:25.at 15 years old. They say practice makes perfect.

:20:26. > :20:33.Even at just 15 years old, Jackson Page is well-prepared. I started

:20:34. > :20:38.when I was three, I was on the table. My dad used to tell me to

:20:39. > :20:44.practice. From the players lounge, he watched as Mark Williams crashed

:20:45. > :20:48.out in the first round. But Williams, he says, played an
