Unions say they'll fight against a potential 1,000 jobs | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
losses at the Ford engine plant in Bridgend "with all their might . | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
The plant currently employs 1,760 workers, but a leaked document seen | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
by BBC Wales says this could be cut to 600 if the company's unable | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, said it's not a foregone conclusion | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
that the jobs will go, adding that the Welsh Government | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
will do all it can to prevent major job losses. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
With the first of our reports tonight, here's our Business | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Workers arrived for the afternoon shift at Ford Bridgend plant to hear | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
details of what the future could look like just as others left from | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
the morning shift having heard the news from unions. Very | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
disappointing. A lot of people are down. We are not hearing anything | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
from the union, only these leaked documents. What do you think will | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
happen? A lot of men are going to finish. They will keep it to the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
bare minimum and Ford will run it down and shut the plant. The Ford | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Bridgend plant opened in 1980 and fought fierce global competition. It | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
currently makes 655,000 engines are you but those contracts are coming | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
to an end and there is only guaranteed work for 125,000 in | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
future. The union says it will continue to fight to win work. I am | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
making a clear call to this company, stop attacking my members and the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
workers at Bridgend. They are not responsible for what's going on. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
It's the company under management who have controlled this the many | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
years. Our determination now and we are in the process of consulting | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
with our members about what options we've got, our determination is to | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
make certain we keep this plant open. Ford argues more work will | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
only be one of the plant becomes more efficient. The leaked document | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
says that this plant is underperforming in comparison to | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
other similar sites such as Ford in Dagenham. Over time levels are more | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
than double what they are at Dagenham and that adds 6% of the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
cost of the engines produced. The company blames absence, | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
nonperformance and unusual work purposes including paying staff | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
allowances they are not entitled to. The First Minister voiced his | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
concerns during a trip to Washington. What has been outlined | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
as the out as the worst case scenario is that if no new projects | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
coming by 2021. We need to make sure Bridgend attracts those new | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
projects. There are calls for the UK Government to do more and the future | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
of Ford in Bridgend came by prime ministers questions. Can I have an | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
assured and is from the Prime Minister that she will arrange for | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
her ministers to meet with Ford and with the union to see what can be | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
done to support Ford to ensure continuity of engine production in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
the Bridgend plant. We have had dialogue with Ford and we will have | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
regular dialogue with Ford about the ways in which government can help to | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
make sure this success continues. This plant has provided the Bridgend | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
community and beyond with well-paid jobs for almost 40 years. The | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
company, unions and workers have problems that need to be fixed if | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
it's to do the same for 40 more. Ford is the biggest company | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
in the Bridgend area and it's one of the largest | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
manufacturers in Wales. So there's much concern in the town | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
about the impact any job losses Our reporter, James Williams, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
has spent the day there. Top stories this morning, the Unite | :05:12. | :05:26. | |
union says it expects more than 1100 jobs to be lost in the Ford plant in | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Bridgend. Breaking news just after break of day. Have you heard the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
news? There was a rumour a few months ago which is a shame because | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
jobs are so scarce. A friend and I used to come every Friday and we | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
would be down here for three hours, have lunch, they were so many shops | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
to going to but it's not like that today. Have you heard about the news | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
about the Ford plant? Yes, I just read about it in the paper. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Concerned? Yes for Bridgend in general. It is a worry. The Ford | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
plant does not dominate the Bridgend skyline in the same way as Tata | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
steel does in Port Talbot but as Bridgend's biggest employer the | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
economic ramifications of significant job losses at the engine | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
plant would cast a very long shadow over this town. It's almost 12 years | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
since the last big blow. 650 jobs lost from Sony factories in the area | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
with the Bridgend plant closing its doors completely. Today, although | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
far from unique to Bridgend, empty shops and empty stores give a sense | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
of the town's economic story. We try our best and we do OK but it could | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
be better. There are empty shops. The council doesn't do enough. And | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
all these jobs going, it will get worse. Are you worried about the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
impact it will have on your stall? Of course. A thousand jobs is a lot | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
of jobs. How much of a loss to Bridgend would it be if Ford does go | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
ahead and cut all of these jobs? It would be devastating for a lot of | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
people. You need all the jobs you can get. Do you worry about the | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
future for Bridgend? Yes. It is becoming a bit of a ghost town. And | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
if hundreds of jobs to leave in the next few years things are certainly | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
not going to get better. Let's return to Brian | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Meechan who's at Ford. Brian, a significant | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
day for workers there. It is a big day for workers. For the | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
last 18 months unions have been calling for more information from | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Ford about what is going to happen when these engines go out and away | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
from production. There has been a real concern about that and it has | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
been building. Today is a very significant step in finding out what | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
the future of Ford Bridgend is going to be. Unions are looking at what | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
happened at Tata steel in terms of the threat to that company and to | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
the workforce there. The unions they were able to mobilise their workers | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
and crucially get public opinion behind the workforce. They hope that | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
ultimately they will be able to do that here. However, Ford is a | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
company that is operating in an environment that is performing well | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
in the UK. But Tata steel, it was the end of an industry if it went | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
under, so I don't think people will cut it in the same way. What happens | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
next? There are five options that are being discussed among the | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
workforce and unions. The unions say they will be led by what workers you | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
think and that could be up to and including strike action if they | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
don't get more information and the potential for more contracts. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Staying with manufacturing and Wales has been chosen by GE Aviation | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
to provide maintenance and repairs for the world's largest and most | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
The work will take place at the firm's Nantgarw site, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
which already employs 1,400 people, with extra jobs likely to come. | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
An inquiry into plans for a ?1 billion M4 relief road | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
around Newport has heard rush hour traffic around the city can | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
The inquiry will consider up to 22 different proposals | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
to ease congestion around the Brynglas Tunnels, | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
including one of the world's longest underground road tunnels. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
Work has begun to dismantle part of Colwyn Bay's damaged pier. | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
More of the Grade II listed Victoria pier collapsed | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
into the sea last week, following Storm Doris. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
It's thought the work will take around three weeks. | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
Nearly three-quarters of Welsh voters think only EU citizens | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
with the right skills should live and work in the UK after Brexit. | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
That's according to BBC Cymru Wales' St David's day poll. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
It found 74% of people think only skilled workers | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
But 19% think nothing should change at all. | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
With some sectors like hospitality and agriculture heavily relying | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
on unskilled European workers, there are concerns for the future. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Our political editor, Nick Servini, has spent the day on a dairy farm | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
in Pembrokeshire getting some reaction. | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
It is dirty work milking these cows but someone has to do it and that | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
this farm near Tenby it's the ten Polish workers who do most of it. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Among them is this man, 23 old who came here with no formal | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
qualifications or skills to years ago. Do you think it will be more | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
difficult for you in the future to work in the UK? Yes. How do you feel | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
about that? Not good. I don't know what will happen in the next months. | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
Today's poll suggests most people believe the system that allowed him | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
to come here should change. No doubt there will be a change. The owner of | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
the farm also agrees that the changes on its way. But with | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
reservations. How do we marry these two things, the need for foreign | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
workers and the views of the public that want to see the system changed. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
The public may be need to be at more educated on the needs of us wanting | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
these people. There is no point in saying these people are coming in | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
and taking the jobs of other people because they're not many other | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
people locally on these jobs. If the jobs I hear that other people don't | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
want then why not let some European people come in and take them. | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
Elsewhere in the poll, 57% said the referendum results should be fully | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
respected and that politicians should support the Brexit process | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
even if they voted against it in the referendum. 44% thought Brexit would | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
have a negative impact on the Welsh economy while 33% thought it would | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
be positive and 18% said it would make no difference. These poll | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
results are a reflection of the dire warnings summon people received last | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
year so when it comes to the unrestricted free movement of labour | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
across the EU it appears that opposition is hardening. But at the | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
same time significantly more people who were questioned were concerned | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
about the economic impact of Brexit than those who were positive. We | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
didn't just focus on Brexit in the poll. On Donald Trump's visit to | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
Britain, 60% of Welsh voters believed the UK Government should | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
not withdraw the invite with only 38% wanting to see it withdrawn. The | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
rolling hills of Pembrokeshire seem a long way from the intense to Bates | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
on immigration that these issues will affect all corners of the | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
country. You're watching Wales | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
Today from the BBC. Still to come on the programme: | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
From the football pitch to the silver screen, | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
the film that charts Wales' Euro 2016 journey | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
is premiered in Pontypridd. And this Carmarthenshire | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
parkland is to be restored to its former regency glory, | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
thanks to a ?6 million grant. Two-year-old Sol Ryan from Anglesey | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
lost his arm in an operation just To help him live as full a life | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
as possible, his father Ben designed an innovative prosthetic arm | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
for him, and now hopes other | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
children can benefit too. It's every parent's nightmare, | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
being told your baby needs At just ten days old young Sol Ryan | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
from Anglesey had his left arm amputated just below the elbow | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
after developing a blood clot. But today Sol is playing | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
like any ordinary young toddler after his father, | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Ben, took the extraordinary step With the help of Bangor University's | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
new innovation lab he was able to use the latest 3-D technology | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
to come up with a ground-breaking new design that can be made | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
in days rather than months. When I started to talk to Ben | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
and he is a likeable person as well, about what he wanted to do and why | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
he wanted to come here I was quite humbled really to be honest | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
and I thought what better way to put this new equipment we have just | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
moved into this building to use Ben has now quit his job | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
as a psychology teacher and set up is known company to develop | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
the arm full-time. Everybody I speak to just shows | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
passion and they can see it coming through from me and | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
the story with Sol. The technology itself | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
is cool as well. 3-D printing, hydraulics, | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
supple components. If you can help someone | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
you are morally obliged to do so and I can't think of a better way | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
of spending my working career than developing and distributing | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
these to the kids that need them. Today Ben and his backers | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
are launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise ?150,000 to win | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
medical approval for the new arms. It will mean children around | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
the world could soon benefit from what the doting dad hopes | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
will be a revolution It's the cinema event football fans | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
have been waiting for. The movie that transforms | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
Gareth Bale and his teammates Tonight, a documentary that | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
immortalises Wales' football fairytale of reaching | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
the semi-finals of Euro 2016 is given its Welsh premiere | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
and Tomos Dafydd is there. It's called Don't Take Me Home | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
after the anthem became popular The film had its London | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
premiere on Monday. Far from the glitz and glamour | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
of Leicester Square, the official premiere is happening | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
here on an industrial park at Nantgarw near | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Pontypridd on St Davids Day. It charts Wales' remarkable | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
journey at Euro 2016, That first game was talked about for | :16:58. | :17:11. | |
months and you could sense the excite one. I knew we would not get | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
heat. The whole stadium erupted. Gareth Bale! That was the moment we | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
had all been waiting for. Unbelievable! I have never seen a | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
Welsh team play so well. Wales have surely pulled it off. To experience | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
it with Wales was an amazing thing. If you could press pause. The | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
director of the film and the Wales manager Chris Coleman have joined | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
me. Why did you want to make this film? I am a Wales fan and I was out | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
there as a porter and the FAW asked me if I was interested in doing a | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
film. I was in Lanzarote at the time and I wanted to tell the story | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
because we were brilliant in France, found on pitch. There was a saying, | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
together stronger, and everything came together beautifully. We played | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
some scintillating foot tall and of the fan -- off the field the fans | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
embraced it. And it's worth pointing out there is a sombre start of the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
film reflecting on Gary speed's achievements. Why was it important | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
to include him? I wanted to start with that and treated sensitively. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
Chris was a childhood friend of Gary 's and what he had to go through an | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
old and tree had to go through was incredible. They talk about the | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
England game in the film and they said it was not difficult because | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
they had been through more difficult times than that. The way they | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
recovered and bonded since is remarkable story. It was great for | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
me to do it. I was brought up a Welsh fan by my father and he is | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
watching now and would like to dedicate the film to him. And is it | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
a fair reflection of last summer? It is spot on. I have done a few | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
interviews since watching it. I am absolutely delighted with it. I | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
think the nation will love it. It's real. There is no icing on it. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Exactly what you see is what happened and how it happened. All | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
the reactions. You can get different clips about what happened but to | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
have it all on one film and the way the story is told I thought was | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
perfect. Johnny should be proud of himself because he has nailed it. I | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
wonder whether there will be a sequel in a few years' time. The | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
World Cup in Russia. The game against Republic of Ireland has | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
become a must win game. The game was a must win and the next one is a | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
must win. They are all the same because you are playing for Wales | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
and that is how the identity of this team has grown. It doesn't matter | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
whether we are playing against the Republic of Ireland in a game where | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
we have to get a result. The film is about to start. Thank you both for | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
your time. I'm off to find my seat. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
The film is released on Friday. Staying with football | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
and the Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan says he's in no rush | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
to sell the club. But the Malaysian businessman | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
says he would listen to offers for the Welsh club, | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
which he took over in 2010. His statement follows a report | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
claiming he was planning to sell his football interests | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
around the world. More than ?6 million will be spent | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
on restoring a 'regency water park' in the grounds | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
of the National Botanic Garden The work, funded by a Lottery grant, | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
is the biggest investment since the garden opened at the turn | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
of the century. These late 18th-century paintings | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
show the dramatic Regency parkland that Sir William Paxton spent three | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
decades creating in the heart The MP and former East India Company | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
man who developed Tenby as a seaside resort built a complex system | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
of interconnecting lakes, Just three lakes survive | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
but that is about to change. It's the largest project | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
since the Garden opened back in 2000 so we will be restoring the lakes | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
around the garden that were first So we will be restoring the lakes, | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
the wears, the cascades that will form a picturesque landscape | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
here for people to come and enjoy. Sir William Paxton bought this | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
estate in 1789 the ?40,000. Restoring this Regency parkland | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
will cost more than ?6 million. Some of the finance has been | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
in place for a couple of years but today the National Lottery Heritage | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
fund has awarded it With this particular investment | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
in the National botanic Gardens, it's going to add to the economy | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
of Carmarthenshire and also to wider Wales and the use | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
of the Gardens in this area It's hoped the restored water | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
gardens will increase visitor But it's an ambitious project | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
and will need around 300 volunteers. What do you think Paxton | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
himself would make of it? I am sure he would be delighted | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
because it would be something that he envisaged all those years | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
ago and it's coming back It took Sir William Paxton three | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
decades to create his masterpiece. The first phase of its restoration | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
should take three years. Events have been held across | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
the country to mark St David's Day. Hundreds of school children | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
took part in parades in Wrexham and Caernarfon, | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
where a pair of enormous dragons named Dewi and Dwynwen have been | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
installed outside the town's castle. Celebrations have also been held | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
at the Senedd in Cardiff, which has been lit up in the colours | :23:28. | :23:30. | |

will fight against the potential thousand job losses at the Ford | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
engine plant in Bridgend with all their might. A leaked document says | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
the workforce could be kept if the company is unable to bring in any | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
new work to the site. I am making a clear call to this company must stop | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
attacking my members and the workers here at Bridgend, they are not | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
responsible for what's going on. It's the company under management | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
who have controlled this the many years. Our determination now and we | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
are in the process of consulting with our members, our determination | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
is to make certain that we keep this plant open. This is the worst case | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
scenario. What would happen if no further project in by 2021. So we | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
need to work with Ford and the union to make sure Bridgend that attract | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
those new projects to make sure those jobs are kept in Bridgend. | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
