Our headlines tonight: The first prisoners arrive | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
at the new jail in Wrexham, now Britain's biggest prison. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
This is the first section of the prison to be opened. I will have a | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
look around to see Howard Webb prisoners will spend their | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
sentences. It opens as the prison service | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
is under pressure like never before. How can Berwyn avoid | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
the problems facing jails up Andrew Saunders, who murdered his | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
ex-girlfriend and her new partner outside the Matalan store in Cardiff | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
where they worked, Wales has the highest proportion | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
of crashes involving Is it time to stop them driving | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
at night and carrying passengers? And Day 1 of the M4 public inquiry, | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
why going underground maybe the solution to | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
the daily congestion. It's Britain's biggest jail, | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
and tonight the first prisoners have It has the capacity to house | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
more than 2,000 inmates, There's been a long campaign to get | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
a prison in North Wales, but the opening comes at a time | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
when the Prison Service is under increasing pressure, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
and will the new site bring the economic benefits | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
that it promised? The first of our reports tonight | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
is from Matthew Richards, who spent In here this is a double room, you | :01:43. | :01:55. | |
can obviously see there are two beds. Staff say that this is | :01:56. | :02:08. | |
different prisons you have imagined. The living conditions were going to | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
be superb here because it is brand-new but a lot of things have | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
been thought out. There are advantages to a new build in that we | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
can put Internet ports and so they can do education and things like | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
that so it is a great tool to have if we want to rehabilitate someone | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
rather than label them as being a prison. It opens at a time the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
prison service is under tremendous pressure. The majority of prisoners | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
who come here will be category say, they have a lower locally good of | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
escaping. They will be encouraged to work and gain qualifications and the | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
design is meant to reduce tension. There are four flaws in this block | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
divided by ceilings, which gives the men in a sense of a smaller | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
community instead of the big imposing spaces you find in a | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Victorian jail. The government says the focus is setting prisoners of | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
our positive future. It will be a readability of culture where the men | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
here will have every opportunity to live law-abiding lives when | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
released. Our staff understand their role is making sure we have that | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
environment of rehabilitation and we will lead the men to have ambition | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
and have a desire to lead their families in the future. The campaign | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
to have a prison in Wales has been a long one with people arguing | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
prisoner should be closer to their families. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
Michael Goldsmith from Menai Bridge was jailed for fraud in 2013 | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
and spent a year in Altcourse prison on Merseyside. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
He says family contact is crucial but not always easy to get. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
At the moment you can go anywhere in the country, they don't care. You | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
get sentenced and you have done the crime and then you and your family | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
are punished even more because they move you further away. | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
The Welsh Secretary says there will be benefits | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
It is about giving them opportunities when they leave they | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
will have better skills and be more employable and if that can be | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
delivered through the medium of the Welsh language them because it is in | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Wales and of course we will deliver on that and we are keen to answer | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
the needs of every part of the United Kingdom and of course Wales | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
is fundamental to that. But this protest by penal reform | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
campaigners yesterday was designed to highlight the flaws they see | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
in prisons like this. Building a way out of the current | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
prison crisis is not the way forward. We actually need a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
full-scale programme of the castle Roshan and a reduction in the prison | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
population because we know the vast majority of people in prison are not | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
a danger to the community. The building work won't be | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
completed until the summer. But the Ministry of Justice hopes it | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
will play a key role In the last few hours the Ministry | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
of Justice has won a High Court injunction blocking industrial | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
action by prison staff, including those in Wrexham, which was due | :04:53. | :04:53. | |
to begin tomorrow morning. It's the latest in a long list | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
of issues to dog the prison service. post is part of the UK Government 's | :04:59. | :05:17. | |
plan to update the prison estate because many prison date back to the | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Victorian era. Today's prison system is undoubtedly under pressure. What | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
difference will this make? Well, complaints about | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
overcrowding are widespread. Since 1991 the prison population | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
in England and Wales has almost doubled from 45,000 | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
to more than 85,000. The vast majority of prisoners | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
are housed in what the Ministry of Justice define as a good, | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
decent standard of accommodation. There are more than 6,000 | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
inmates who aren't in such And, so Berwyn prison's more-than | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
2,000 places isn't going to address We don't need new prisons, we need | :05:49. | :06:08. | |
fewer prisoners. This is not going to help reduce crime, in fact it | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
will probably make it worse. In the long run, in years to come, I will | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
be talking to people in Wales to say that this prison is a disaster | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
because it is overcrowded, under resourced and is infested with | :06:23. | :06:23. | |
crime. Now, government ministers dispute | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
that claim, but they can't argue with some of the problems seen | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
in our prisons in recent months. These were the scenes | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
at Birmingham Prison They were the worst prison | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
riots seen for more Last year a record number of people | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
killed themselves in Welsh and English prisons, | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
self-harm incidents also reached a record high and assaults on staff | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
were up 40% since the previous year. There is a correlation between | :06:45. | :06:59. | |
reduce staffing levels and increasing violence and that | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
combined with the introduction of psychoactive substances that get | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
smuggled into Vales creates a tsunami of violence, drugs, weapons | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
and instability. The positive thing is that this is on-time and on | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
budget with a forward-thinking governor with ideas. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
And he'll need those fresh ideas if this new so-called super-prison | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Later we'll be looking at whether the building | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
of the prison has delivered the economic benefits | :07:26. | :07:26. | |
A man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and her new partner on Cardiff's | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
main shopping street has been told he'll spend at least | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
Andrew Saunders repeatedly stabbed 21-year-old Zoe Morgan | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
and 33-year-old Lee Simmons outside the Matalan store where they worked | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
The families of his victims say they feel the sentence is too lenient. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Driven by jealousy, he spent days planning the attack. This CCTV shows | :07:52. | :08:06. | |
Andrew Saunders making his way along Queen Street, intent on murder. The | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
attack on the young couple was described by the judge today as a | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
savage, senseless and sustained. This was a brutal, unprovoked and | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
premeditated attack. Saunders attended the location well before | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Zoe Morgan and Lee Simmons that day, and ambushed them. The plastic bag | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
conceals two knives bought from a supermarket. After days spent on the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Internet researching how to kill. His actions left family is | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
devastated. As a family we will never be able to express how we feel | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
inside and the disappointment we feel at the leniency of the sentence | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
passed day. We are all totally heartbroken and will miss our | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
beautiful and intelligent governor rest of our lives. The whole family | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
has been left devastated by this horrific and unprovoked crime. We | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
have been deeply shocked by the violence of it. It has left a huge | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
effect on both families. So we tried to protect a Liang Wen-chong failed | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
she was chased by Saunders. She was a joy, a real joy. She was pretty | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
with it. A terrible waste of life. On arrest Saunders told police he | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
was sorry and he had stacked. His lawyers told police that at the time | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
of the killings he was suicidal. The judge described his actions as | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
savagely violent, telling him whatever your mental state, you took | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the lives of two people, you robbed the families of Lee Simmons and Zoe | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
Morgan of a much loved son and a much loved daughter. Saunders was | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
sentenced life and told he would serve a minimum of 23 years. The | :09:56. | :09:56. | |
families say it is not enough. Friends of Trudy Jones | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
from Blackwood, killed when a gunman open fire on a beach in Tunisia, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
have told BBC Wales more should have An inquest concluded today | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
that she was unlawfully killed, along with 29 other | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
British tourists. The court heard the Tunisian police | :10:08. | :10:08. | |
response was shambolic at best. There was nothing to dislike about | :10:09. | :10:25. | |
her because she was always just so lovely. You struggle all your life, | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
bring your children up, have a little break, and sadly she didn't | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
come back. Friends say more should have been done to try and save Trudy | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Jones, as a lone gunmen opened fire, trying to kill as many people as he | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
could. The hotel she stayed at in a Tunisian resort was not ruled to | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
have been neglectful today. The police response was described in | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
court as shambolic at best and worst cowardly. The police have got a lot | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
to answer for, the Tunisian police. Trudy 's family will never, ever | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
come to terms with what has happened. Her friends, nobody. Some | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
members of Trudy Jones family followed proceedings in London at a | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
special private hearing here in Cardiff today, they told me they | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
didn't want to comment. This is the nursing home where she used to work. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
She was remembered for bringing happiness and excitement to people's | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
day. It is a lovely memory and it will always live on here. The | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
residents to speak of her everyday. There is not one day she isn't | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
mentioned here. By somebody. Matthew James was also shot that day, trying | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
to protect his partner. Physical wounds may have healed but many are | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
still suffering trauma. Trudy Jones was identified by distinctive nail | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
varnish and dental records. It is not clear if her family will look to | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
join others in pursuing further legal action against the holiday | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
company. On this bench, her married name, just one reminder of a woman | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
A Bangor University student who was threatened with deportation | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
has been told she can remain in the UK temporarily. | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
Shiromini Satkunarajah, who was born in Sri Lanka, | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
She's been released from detention, but hasn't been given formal | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
The Welsh Conservatives are calling for fundamental reform of the way | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
the General Medical Council handles disciplinary and negligence cases. | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
Five-year-old Ellie-May Clark from Newport died of an asthma | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
attack two years ago, hours after a GP refused | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
to see her because she was minutes late for an emergency appointment. | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
Dr Joanna Rowe was given a warning by the GMC, | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
which dealt with the case behind closed doors. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
The number of young people being killed or seriously injured | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
on our roads has risen by 15% over the last three years. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Wales has the highest proportion of crashes involving | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
284 people between 16 and 24 have died or been injured since 2012 | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
It wants to introduce restrictions on new drivers until they build up | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
This is Joe 's room. Pretty much untouched since it all happened. | :13:11. | :13:27. | |
David and Andrea 's son Joe spent a month in a coma before he died | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
following a car crash in Merthyr Tydfil in October 20 15. Two of his | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
best friends were also killed in the crash, 18-year-old Rhys Jones at | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
20-year-old Ryan Gibbons. The drive of their car, John Graham, was | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
sentenced to ten months in jail, reduced to five, after admitting | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
three counts of death by careless driving. The families are now | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
campaigning for restrictions on new drivers as well as tougher | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
guidelines and punishments. Whatever happens there has to be a deterrent | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
to stop people doing it. I want my son to be remembered as a person, as | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
with his friends, they were three fun loving kids with the whole world | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
ahead of them. John Graham says he was deeply sorry but he didn't have | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
any control over his sentence. The Welsh government wants to cut the | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
numbers of people killed or seriously injured on the roads by | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
40% by 2020. Good progress is being made but the latest figures show | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
that 284 young people died or were seriously injured in 2015, and | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
increasing 15% compared with 2012. The secretary responsible now wants | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
to introduce graduated driver licenses to build up experience on | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
the road before they carry passengers or drive at night. | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Graduated licences are the next big opportunity to drive down the number | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
of young people that are killed or seriously injured, and we will be | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
pressing, the UK Government, to enable us to introduce such a | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
scheme. The UK Government is looking at changing the penalties for | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
drivers who kill or injure but there are no plans to introduce graduated | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
driver licenses at the moment. Any changes will come too late for the | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
families of these boys but they still hope that something will be | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
done to stop other young people being killed on the roads. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Week In Week Out: Too Young, Too Fast, Too Soon?' | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Much more to come before 7.00pm: It's the biggest change | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
The OECD says stick with the new curriculum. | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
And the weather is looking pretty unsettled over the coming days, | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
with a series of weather systems bringing rain in from the west. | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
The M4 around Newport is not fit for purpose | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
and problems will get worse, that's according to evidence heard | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
at the opening of the public inquiry into the M4 relief road. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
It will consider a range of proposals to relieve congestion | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
around the Brynglas Tunnels, including the Welsh Government's | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
Our reporter Jordan Davies has been at the inquiry. | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Well, the inspector outlined the scale of the enquiry into this | :16:07. | :16:22. | |
stretch of road behind me. There are now 22 separate proposals and the | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
enquiry may take seven months -- five months, and it may take six | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
months instead of five months. Some of these proposals are well | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
publicised and others not so much, including a 40 mile tunnel which the | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
inspector likened to the Channel Tunnel and the motorway would pass | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
through that. The enquiry begins by looking at the Welsh government | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
argument for the ?1 billion black crew, the new motorway that would | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
run to the south of Newport. The Welsh government says the stretch of | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
road behind me is not fit for purpose and the problems will only | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
get worse. One witness for the Welsh government said they had already | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
looked at 100 proposals over the years and none of those proposals | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
before this have addressed the problem. The Welsh government says | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
that the Black route will provide value for money and it will be | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
essential to improving the Welsh economy and it will also improve the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
air quality in this area. What else do we expect to hear in | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
the coming months? We expect to hear the many and | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
varied opinions opposing the so-called black route, including | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
from environmental and nature groups and large organisations like | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
associated British Po -- port to own Newport docks. The black route will | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
cross four sites of special scientific interest and nature | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
groups are concerned that it will devastate the area. There is concern | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
over the ?1 billion price tag and the sustainability of these | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
so-called black route. The enquiry has begun a report in five or six | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
months and it will be up to the Welsh government to make a decision | :18:11. | :18:11. | |
based on that report. The organisation behind the PISA | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
international school rankings says Wales should continue its radical | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
reform of the school curriculum, but it needs to be supported | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
by sustained investment in raising Our Education Correspondent | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Colette Hume reports. This is the new curriculum in | :18:22. | :18:36. | |
action. It is a science lesson with a dash of maths and a side order of | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
education in healthy eating added for good measure. This school is | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
piloting the new curriculum. From 2021 this is what learning could | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
look like across Wales. Education won't just be about what children | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
know, it will also be about what they can do with what they know, and | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
digital skills will take centre stage. The curriculum here in Wales | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
is undergoing the biggest change in a generation, the way teachers teach | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
and pupils learn is undergoing an massive overhaul. It is a massive | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
change and a change that we are hoping will have positive effects on | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
the students and allow them to develop skills which will be useful | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
for employment in the future. Is the right thing to do? Last December the | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
organisation for economic corporation and development unveiled | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
the world School report, known as PISA. Every three years it ranks | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
children from 60 cities and countries in reading, maths and | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
science. For the past decade Wales has performed poorly, covering last | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
out of the four home nations and below countries including Slovenia, | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
Vietnam and Singapore. The Education Secretary asked the OECD to come to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Wales and report on the changes in education, including the reform of | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the curriculum, plans to drive up teaching standards, and the creation | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
of a new national academy to foster the next generation of headteachers. | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Today the OECD revealed its findings at a conference of headteachers from | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
across the country. It says Wales is on the right track. The roof -- the | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
move to a curriculum that is built around 21st-century skills, that is | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
ambition, we don't see yet in the classroom but I think it is the | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
right ambition to Wales to add to move forward. The OECD say our | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
reforms and curriculum are exciting and exactly what our children need | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
to do so our job now is to ensure the successful implementation. | :20:34. | :20:45. | |
The planning phase. In a note of warning the OECD Council 's | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
government ministers against trying to introduce yet more new education | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
policies. You just four years' time learning in Wales could look very | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
different. The office of Wales' best-selling | :21:01. | :21:01. | |
daily newspaper, the Daily Post, will move from Llandudno Junction | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
to Colwyn Bay after 16 years. Staff, who hadn't officially | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
been told of the move, found out when the supermarket Lidl | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
issued a press release earlier saying it would be | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
taking over the site. Rugby, and the Ospreys have moved | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
their European Rugby Challenge Cup quarterfinal against Stade Francais | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
to the Principality Stadium. The switch to | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Cardiff comes after Swansea City's game against Middlesbrough was moved | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
to the same day, 2nd April, meaning the Liberty Stadium | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
is no longer available. Back to our top story: HMP Berwyn | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
in Wrexham has taken It's Britain biggest prison, | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
but will it provide the sizeable boost to the local economy that has | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
long been promised? Here's our Economics | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Correspondent, Sarah Dickins. New cement lorries, ?1 million worth | :21:50. | :22:04. | |
of them, paid for by the contract this firm wants to supply concrete | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
to build the present. It doubled its employees here to 24 when the prison | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
work began and it is managing to keep them on because more work has | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
followed. Paul Dunne has been buying vast amounts of concrete from here. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
He has had the job of making the concrete floors for the massive | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
prison. This big job will come once so we wanted to keep it local and we | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
have done with all the materials. We have kept everything local. Said the | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
money goes round and round. The cement and sand and stone to make | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
the concrete has all come from nearby businesses in North Wales. It | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
has taken 2.5 years to build on a site big enough to house 65 football | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
pitches. From the start the developers of this prison promised | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
that they would spend as much of the ?200 million as possible in the | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
local economy and that is within 50 miles or one hour 's drive, anywhere | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
between Stoke-on-Trent, Llandudno, Liverpool or Newtown. In reality | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
more third -- more than a third of their spending has been with local | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
businesses and in terms of small and medium-sized businesses they have | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
spent ?80 million, not ?50 million. The challenge is to do that similar | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
kind of spending when the prison is open. It seems very difficult at the | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
moment to know how much the prison will be buying from local firms once | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
it is fully up and running. This cafe was opened in the middle of | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
town in September and she expects to be welcoming more customers. All | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
those prisoners will have families coming through to see them, they | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
will not come through just to the prison, the train station is the top | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
end of the town so they will travel through town to get to the train | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
station on the bus station is around the corner so it has to benefit us, | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
doesn't it? This firm has gained a reputation for supplying the prison | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
and gained contracts on other projects but others may struggle to | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
find similar work when the building is complete. The challenge for us as | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
a region is to take the construction workforce and supply chain answers | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
signpost them to other projects now in the region. Obviously we are | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
seeing things like the new bypassing Caernarfon Underground work starting | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
shortly and obviously if the tidal lagoon at Colwyn Bay comes off we | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
have to programme is a region where these opportunities underlie within | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
the supply chain. There will no doubt be some who think not enough | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
money has been spent with businesses in North Wales but among those who | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
have won contracts there seems to be a determination to keep as much of | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
the work as possible with local Welsh businesses. | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
Thank you. It has been out and we started the day on and we started | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
the day on an icy note with frost and even snow at places. Tonight we | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
have wintry showers to deal with but gradually they will clear and we can | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
look forward to dry conditions overnight but it will be another | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
cold night ahead. A few showers still lurking around, some heavy and | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
wintry, but already something dry conditions overnight but it will be | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
another cold night ahead. A few showers still lurking around, some | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
heavy and wintry, but already something driver Anglesey. As we go | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
through the night we will see frost forming and the potential for icy | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
stretches. You will need to take care, especially on untreated | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
services and it is a cold night but it shouldn't be as cold as the night | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
just gone. Tomorrow is St David's Day and a dry start to the day and | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
we look forward to sunshine but grab the umbrella as you had out because | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
we have a weather front which will bring rain with it from the South as | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
we head into the afternoon. It is also the first day of meteorological | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
spring but it won't feel like it. It is chilly first thing and we have | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
frost to deal with and some sunshine and then the rain pushes up from the | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
south. Across parts of Wrexham and Denbighshire and Flintshire there I | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
is the best of the day and temperatures are nothing to write | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
home about. The winds are lighter than today. Tomorrow night we have | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
heavy rain to deal with and the potential for snow, especially on | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
higher ground. Further south it is dry and the sky is clear and it will | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
be another chilly night and where the skies do clear there is | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
potential for frost form. Overnight lows get down about one. Towards the | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
end of the week it is a messy picture. A series of weather systems | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
bring with it wind and rain so it is looking rather unsettled towards the | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
end of the week but it will feel less cold than recent days. As we | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
head into Thursday it is a dry and bright star but a bit of a chilly | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
start the morning and it won't last very long. We have more rain coming | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
in from the West and the only positive is that it will feel less | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
cold. Temperatures back up to double figures and reaching a high of ten. | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
A blustery day as well and if that wasn't enough by the time we headed | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
to Friday we have another band of rain coming in and this one is even | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
heavier with the potential we could see some warnings released by the | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
time we get to the end of the week. A mixture of sunshine and showers | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
for the weekend. Back to you. The coroner at the inquest | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
into the deaths of 30 British tourists who were killed in a gun | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
attack on a beach in Tunisia has described the local security | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
response as at best shambolic, Trudy Jones from Blackwood | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
was among those killed. Her friends say more should have | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
been done to prevent her death. I'll have an update | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
for you here at 8.00pm, From all of us on the | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
programme, good evening. So, apparently Red Nose Day | :27:36. | :27:46. | |
is back... Cool. So, we... | :27:47. | :27:47. | |
We love Red Nose Day. Yes. So, Comic Relief have asked | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
if we can help with a bit a reboot of the show. | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
OK, cool. So, we... Like Brown Nose Day. | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
Well, no, hang on. Apparently, the big thing this year | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
is that it will actually be funny. | :27:59. | :28:02. |
