:00:15. > :00:20.The timing couldn't be worse, Mr McEvoy's suspension is a blow

:00:21. > :00:25.I'm not a bully. It's the last thing I am. People I know know that.

:00:51. > :00:59.Home to some exotic creatures, the ?10 million investment

:01:00. > :01:04.If I go out the fumes are hard to breathe. Sometimes we feel like

:01:05. > :01:05.prisoners here. Home to some exotic creatures,

:01:06. > :01:08.the ?10 million investment to expand Folly Farm,

:01:09. > :01:10.one of Wales most popular Arise Sir Bryn, the opera star

:01:11. > :01:29.knighted at Buckingham Palace. Plaid Cymru has suspended one

:01:30. > :01:32.of its Assembly members. Neil McEvoy is already serving

:01:33. > :01:35.a one-month suspension from his other role as a councillor

:01:36. > :01:38.in Cardiff, after a panel ruled a comment he made to a council

:01:39. > :01:44.officer was "bullying behaviour". Mr McEvoy says he hopes to be back

:01:45. > :01:47.in the party's Assembly group soon. As our political correspondent

:01:48. > :01:53.Daniel Davies reports. Plaid Cymru Assembly members

:01:54. > :01:55.on their way to their weekly The main topic of conversation,

:01:56. > :02:00.what to do about Neil McEvoy? Mr McEvoy is in there addressing

:02:01. > :02:10.fellow Plaid Cymru AMs. We are not allowed in to

:02:11. > :02:13.hear what's being said. These group meetings

:02:14. > :02:17.are always held in private. But we do know that he won't

:02:18. > :02:20.get unanimous support. Last week a tribunal heard

:02:21. > :02:23.in the summer of 2015 he referred That comment came after the eviction

:02:24. > :02:29.of a tenant he'd been supporting, and was deemed to be

:02:30. > :02:32.bullying an official. First this morning party leader

:02:33. > :02:35.Leanne Wood removed him from her front bench team,

:02:36. > :02:42.then, after more than an hour and With Neil McEvoy's agreement

:02:43. > :02:47.the Plaid Cymru group has decided that he should be temporarily

:02:48. > :02:52.suspended from the group whilst agreement is sought on a way forward

:02:53. > :02:58.following recent events. Prior to the group meeting

:02:59. > :03:02.Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood, had met with Neil McEvoy and took

:03:03. > :03:06.the decision to remove him from the Shadow Cabinet and withdraw

:03:07. > :03:14.his portfolio responsibilities. Mr McEvoy's supporters came out

:03:15. > :03:17.for him at Plaid Cymru's He is a prominent figure

:03:18. > :03:22.in Cardiff politics, and is poised to lead the campaign

:03:23. > :03:26.there at me's Council elections. But today he was asked

:03:27. > :03:28.whether there was pressure I don't think there was pressure,

:03:29. > :03:34.it was more of a discussion, really. Some sticking points either way,

:03:35. > :03:43.but I understand their position, So we've agreed, we both agreed,

:03:44. > :03:49.actually, to temporarily suspend me and, ideally,

:03:50. > :03:54.readmit me in the future. This afternoon he was back

:03:55. > :03:58.in the Assembly Chamber asking questions, but whether he'll

:03:59. > :04:04.continue doing that is a Plaid AM or as an independent AM

:04:05. > :04:17.remains and resolved. So an eventful day, but this is not

:04:18. > :04:25.the end of the process for Mr McEvoy? No, this afternoon he was

:04:26. > :04:30.talking about being suspended for a couple of hours, more likely to be a

:04:31. > :04:36.couple of weeks. You heard him referring to sticking points with

:04:37. > :04:39.the party. He doesn't think he has anything to apologise for, he says

:04:40. > :04:46.the tribunal that suspended him was a farce and he's going to appeal. He

:04:47. > :04:49.is talking to his lawyers. But since he was suspended there have been

:04:50. > :04:54.accusations about Mr McEvoy on social media, some of those

:04:55. > :04:58.accusations have been put in a letter and sent to Leanne Wood by

:04:59. > :05:03.survivors of domestic abuse and women's groups. There is an

:05:04. > :05:09.investigation going on, led by the chairman of Plaid Cymru, we are told

:05:10. > :05:14.that investigation will look at all complaints and evidence about Mr

:05:15. > :05:19.McEvoy, how long that will take, what conclusion it will come to we

:05:20. > :05:24.just don't know. This will go on for some time yet. Let's talk about the

:05:25. > :05:30.timing of this, not good for Plaid Cymru. Not good at all. Mr McEvoy

:05:31. > :05:34.leads the Plaid Cymru group in Cardiff Council and would have been

:05:35. > :05:40.a big figure in the election campaign in May. It must be said

:05:41. > :05:45.that a lot of his opponents find him an abrasive personality, but he has

:05:46. > :05:50.supporters in Plaid Cymru. He has opponents to who have told the BBC

:05:51. > :05:55.privately at the conference over the weekend that Leanne Wood should take

:05:56. > :06:00.action against him. The party has disciplined him in the past, in

:06:01. > :06:05.2011, four comments he made about a women's group about time. There is

:06:06. > :06:10.this other investigation going on about him at the moment. The party

:06:11. > :06:14.will hope that can be wrapped up quite quickly before the election

:06:15. > :06:15.campaign gets underway proper. Thank you, Daniel Davies.

:06:16. > :06:19.Air pollution is a "public health crisis" and tackling it is more

:06:20. > :06:21.of a priority than obesity and alcohol consumption.

:06:22. > :06:23.That's according to Public Health Wales,

:06:24. > :06:25.who say air pollution causes the equivalent of 2000

:06:26. > :06:30.deaths here every year, that's 6% of all deaths recorded.

:06:31. > :06:32.Wales is also home to the UK's most polluted street outside London,

:06:33. > :06:40.It's an average morning for the Hardwick family,

:06:41. > :06:45.but the street they live on in Crumlin is far from average.

:06:46. > :06:49.The high volume of traffic on Hafodyrynys Road makes this

:06:50. > :06:53.the most polluted street in the UK outside London.

:06:54. > :06:58.This machine monitors the level of nitrogen dioxide.

:06:59. > :07:00.They are installed in areas of high pollution.

:07:01. > :07:03.Each year roads can breach a fixed limit of 18 times,

:07:04. > :07:10.so far this year this road has breached that limit 60 times.

:07:11. > :07:13.Deanna worries about the effects of pollution on her family's health,

:07:14. > :07:19.He has been given an inhaler for when he's really bad,

:07:20. > :07:29.It's not something I want for him, I want him to be healthy,

:07:30. > :07:32.I want him to be able to go out and play without struggling

:07:33. > :07:38.It makes you feel a bit incompetent as a parent, sometimes.

:07:39. > :07:41.Deanna tried to sell her house, but she didn't have a single

:07:42. > :07:46.She is among half of the homeowners on her side of the street

:07:47. > :07:48.that wanted the council to buy their houses

:07:49. > :07:52.Caerphilly council says it recognises the air quality

:07:53. > :07:54.problems on the street, and is developing an action

:07:55. > :07:58.That a pollution isn't just a problem here.

:07:59. > :08:02.The health effects of a pollution are varied.

:08:03. > :08:04.In the short term we are talking about eye, nose and throat

:08:05. > :08:06.irritation primarily, but long-term, more serious

:08:07. > :08:11.consequences particularly on the heart, lungs and a pollution

:08:12. > :08:14.has been associated with increased risk of cancer and other

:08:15. > :08:21.68-year-old Dawn Howells also lives on Hafodyrynys Road.

:08:22. > :08:24.She suffers from chest problems and the traffic on the street means

:08:25. > :08:34.When I go out the front all the fumes and everything it's

:08:35. > :08:39.Sometimes we feel like prisoners here.

:08:40. > :08:44.Smoking is probably the number one public health priority,

:08:45. > :08:51.air pollution comes second to that, if you talk about obesity,

:08:52. > :08:53.inactivity, and alcohol, they come, actually behind air pollution.

:08:54. > :08:56.This is a public health crisis, and we need to act now.

:08:57. > :08:58.That call was echoed in the Senedd today.

:08:59. > :09:02.Will you agree to hosting a summit to make sure that progress can be

:09:03. > :09:06.made on this agenda item so that we can see genuine

:09:07. > :09:12.improvements across Wales, but, importantly, improvements to make

:09:13. > :09:15.sure we do not continue to see the number of people dying from poor

:09:16. > :09:19.The Welsh government says they are committed to reducing

:09:20. > :09:21.emissions and a pollution across Wales, they say they'll

:09:22. > :09:23.publish their response to a recent consultation

:09:24. > :09:28.I'm sure people say why did you live there and have children,

:09:29. > :09:35.We shouldn't have to choose between having a family or where we live.

:09:36. > :09:37.You know, we should be able to have a healthy

:09:38. > :09:44.Deanna Hardwick ending that report by India Pollock.

:09:45. > :09:47.And you can see more on this story on Week in Week Out,

:09:48. > :09:51.tonight at 10:40 here on BBC One Wales.

:09:52. > :09:54.The trial of a 58-year-old man charged with the murder and rape

:09:55. > :09:56.of a Flintshire schoolgirl more than 40 years ago

:09:57. > :10:00.15-year-old Janet Commins' body was found in a school

:10:01. > :10:07.Stephen Anthony Hough denies the charges against him.

:10:08. > :10:14.It's emerged that a former nurse at Glangwili hospital

:10:15. > :10:17.in Carmarthenshire who was fined for breaching the Data Protection

:10:18. > :10:20.Act had illegally accessed more than 3,000 confidential medical

:10:21. > :10:22.records, including those of colleagues.

:10:23. > :10:24.63-year-old Elaine Lewis, from Llansteffan, was sacked

:10:25. > :10:28.by Hywel Dda Health Board who sent letters to all those involved last

:10:29. > :10:36.The MP for Wrexham, Ian Lucas, says he's been told experts

:10:37. > :10:39.at the new prison there can help in the battle against

:10:40. > :10:45.Last night on Wales Today, we showed these pictures taken

:10:46. > :10:49.at Wrexham bus station and posted on social media by a driver.

:10:50. > :10:52.They appear to show people high on drugs.

:10:53. > :10:54.Mr Lucas says there needs to be better co-operation

:10:55. > :11:04.between the police, local council and other agencies.

:11:05. > :11:12.The pictures are shocking, but it's no surprise. This is an issue that's

:11:13. > :11:15.been going on for a considerable period. I've discussed this

:11:16. > :11:20.personally with the Lord Chancellor and asked her to ask the new prison

:11:21. > :11:25.just outside Wrexham to work with agencies in the town and the local

:11:26. > :11:28.police to help inform aspect about this horrible problem that is

:11:29. > :11:30.destroying people's lives and our local community.

:11:31. > :11:32.Anglesey Council have been told their care and support services

:11:33. > :11:34.for vulnerable children "must be improved".

:11:35. > :11:36.Inspectors found workers were not always suitably qualified

:11:37. > :11:39.or experienced to protect children and families.

:11:40. > :11:43.The authority says it'll make significant improvements.

:11:44. > :11:46.Wales could lead the charge against cyber crime.

:11:47. > :11:49.That's the message tonight from the man in charge of keeping

:11:50. > :11:52.Britain safe against cyber attacks for GCHQ, one of the government's

:12:02. > :12:08.Here's our business correspondent Brian Meechan.

:12:09. > :12:17.More and more data is being created all the time. Companies and

:12:18. > :12:20.organisations hold financial details, health information,

:12:21. > :12:25.shopping habits and more. When used properly adapt to our convenience,

:12:26. > :12:31.but it's always under threat from attack. Work is already going on to

:12:32. > :12:35.that. Cardiff born Paul Pritchard just is at the forefront of

:12:36. > :12:40.protecting this information as a senior figure at one of the

:12:41. > :12:44.Government's intelligence agencies, GCHQ.

:12:45. > :12:49.-- Paul Chichester. The Digital economy will be absolutely at the

:12:50. > :12:52.heart of the UK's future. So investing in young talent and skills

:12:53. > :12:58.and investing in the future, that's what we are short of in the UK.

:12:59. > :13:01.Wales, by leading that charge, could create a huge opportunity for

:13:02. > :13:05.itself. Companies are responsible for making

:13:06. > :13:09.sure the information they hold on as is kept safely. There are plenty of

:13:10. > :13:14.opportunities for businesses in this growing sector with the UK market

:13:15. > :13:22.for cyber security in 2017 estimated to be ?3.4 billion. 24% of companies

:13:23. > :13:26.experience one or more breaches over a 12 month period. That is likely to

:13:27. > :13:31.be underreported. Large businesses are a particular target with 65%

:13:32. > :13:35.having breaches over the same period. This data storage centre in

:13:36. > :13:39.Newport is the biggest in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Each floor

:13:40. > :13:44.is large enough for three jumbo jets to fully rotate.

:13:45. > :13:49.This is a small data all. This is the kind of place where businesses,

:13:50. > :13:52.large firms or multinationals can store information in a high security

:13:53. > :13:58.environment. It's grown to 60 employees.

:13:59. > :14:02.Many data centres that are in and around London are more expensive,

:14:03. > :14:07.but also exposed to the Metro risk profile of the City of London. Here

:14:08. > :14:12.in Wales we have a large 50 acre campus where we can take

:14:13. > :14:15.extraordinary security measures to make the building defensible. We've

:14:16. > :14:19.got good elbow room around the site and it creates a cost-effective

:14:20. > :14:22.location for people to put their equipment.

:14:23. > :14:26.At Cardiff University they been undertaking research for

:14:27. > :14:30.organisations including BLE PD and the Metropolitan Police. Academics

:14:31. > :14:34.say stopping hackers is getting harder.

:14:35. > :14:38.-- LAPD. It's becoming more targeted. You've got the online

:14:39. > :14:43.social networks where you have literally billions of people

:14:44. > :14:46.connected together which provides an ideal environment for cybercriminals

:14:47. > :14:52.who want to reach out to potential targets. It is very difficult to

:14:53. > :14:58.manage that because of the scale. Recent high-profile attacks such as

:14:59. > :15:02.against Talk Talk hit reputations and finances and can cause huge

:15:03. > :15:05.damage to customers. Wales seems in a good position to further develop

:15:06. > :15:09.technology and skills to combat current debts and future ones.

:15:10. > :15:13.You're watching Wales Today, stay with us.

:15:14. > :15:20.I'm here at Folly Farm in Narberth where plans to build a holiday

:15:21. > :15:27.village have been approved with ?10 million set to be invested here.

:15:46. > :15:47.with an emphasis on improving productivity and skills.

:15:48. > :15:49.Let's speak to our Parliamentary correspondent , David Cornock.

:15:50. > :15:54.David, what should we be looking out for?

:15:55. > :15:59.I know you can't contain your excitement.

:16:00. > :16:06.Well, when Philip Hammond emerges from number 11 Downing St tomorrow

:16:07. > :16:11.lunchtime he is expected to confirm that they will not be a spending

:16:12. > :16:15.freeze, so if the Welsh government is hoping for an end to austerity

:16:16. > :16:20.and fat cheques coming down the M4 they are likely to be disappointed.

:16:21. > :16:23.But Mr Hammond has been under pressure to do more to help some

:16:24. > :16:28.public services that are under strain. We know they will be more

:16:29. > :16:31.money for some schools in England, and that means they will be extra

:16:32. > :16:36.cash for the Welsh government to spend as it sees fit. Ministers in

:16:37. > :16:41.Cardiff Bay will also be looking to see what Mr Hammond manages to find

:16:42. > :16:44.to help with social care problems in England, that would generate cash

:16:45. > :16:52.but the Welsh government can spend as it sees fit. Mr Hammond is known

:16:53. > :16:56.as a flamboyant Chancellor, he is known as spreadsheet failed. But he

:16:57. > :17:00.set pulses racing in Swansea last week when he appeared to suggest

:17:01. > :17:05.that a city deal could bring investment and jobs and it could be

:17:06. > :17:11.concluded by budget day. The council leader in Swansea, Ian Stuart, as

:17:12. > :17:16.said that he thinks it's ready to go. So tonight the Conservative MP

:17:17. > :17:21.for Gower has said that it is a muddle, and it needs sorting out. So

:17:22. > :17:27.you may not expect, you may get warm words tomorrow about the Swansea

:17:28. > :17:30.city regional deal, but as far as a decisive definitive announcement is

:17:31. > :17:34.concerned, well, that may have to wait for another day. We will chat

:17:35. > :17:39.It's one of Wales' biggest tourism attractions,

:17:40. > :17:44.Final planning approval has been granted to build a ?10 million

:17:45. > :17:46.holiday village at Folly Farm near Narberth in Pembrokeshire

:17:47. > :17:48.with visitors able to stay alongside the park's exotic attractions.

:17:49. > :17:55.Folly Farm started from very humble beginnings.

:17:56. > :17:57.It was originally a farm diversification project,

:17:58. > :18:01.after the introduction of milk quotas in 1984.

:18:02. > :18:04.Visitors could get a tasty of country life.

:18:05. > :18:07.But it's now a multi million pound business with some exotic

:18:08. > :18:11.attractions and it's one of Wales's most popular paid for attractions,-

:18:12. > :18:16.And it's set to become a whole lot bigger.

:18:17. > :18:24.We got a bird's eye view of what's planned.

:18:25. > :18:31.This field with the sheep on will be our tooling park which will be a

:18:32. > :18:34.5-star Tooling Park with all the hook necessary.

:18:35. > :18:36.Pembrokeshire Council has given final approval for a ?10 million

:18:37. > :18:39.pound investment that will create a new themed holiday

:18:40. > :18:42.There'll be lodges, caravans and tents, as well as new visitor

:18:43. > :18:44.facilities for short and medium stays.

:18:45. > :18:46.The development had to be approved by the Full Council

:18:47. > :18:48.because it was a departure from the local development plan.

:18:49. > :18:52.The Council says it will bring wider economic benefits that will enhance

:18:53. > :18:58.the appeal of the attraction around the year.

:18:59. > :19:07.We've grown over the years from a day visitor attraction, which now

:19:08. > :19:11.you can spend two, maybe even three days here. They will be unique

:19:12. > :19:18.developments that we will build into the concept as well. I think it's an

:19:19. > :19:24.exciting oppose oil which will be uniquely placed in our county and I

:19:25. > :19:27.don't think anyone else will be positioned to do anything like this

:19:28. > :19:35.anywhere in the UK. -- unique proposal. Around 180 people are

:19:36. > :19:37.employed here and it hoped it could bring in new jobs. They will also be

:19:38. > :19:40.work for local construction firms. Bluestone near Narberth also has

:19:41. > :19:42.plans to expand by 2018, by creating a new sky dome

:19:43. > :19:45.at its luxury resort. It's also hoping to transform

:19:46. > :19:47.the disused Black Pool Mill as a new tourism attraction,

:19:48. > :19:50.with the promise of 300 extra jobs Despite the economic

:19:51. > :19:56.uncertainties of Brexit, tourism experts say there

:19:57. > :19:58.are opportunities for further growth in Pembrokeshire The new holiday

:19:59. > :20:14.village will be built over the next With Brexit and the and low meaning

:20:15. > :20:20.that overseas visitors will visit written and Wales, it's a great

:20:21. > :20:24.opportunity for us to grasp that. Staycations were reported as being

:20:25. > :20:28.at the last year and I think providing the weather improves we

:20:29. > :20:33.have a good chance of getting even more people to stay at home again

:20:34. > :20:38.this year and visit Pembrokeshire. The new holiday village will be

:20:39. > :20:41.built in the next few years, cementing Folly Farm's position as a

:20:42. > :20:43.big player in the tourism industry. A group of climbers had to be

:22:53. > :22:59.Sir Bryn Terfel on stage, an icon of Aldeburgh and a voice that earned

:23:00. > :23:05.royal recognition. This was its performance at a gala concert last

:23:06. > :23:11.year. Sir Bryn Terfel Jones, for services to music. Today he was back

:23:12. > :23:15.in the same glamorous surroundings of the palace ballroom, not to sing

:23:16. > :23:22.this time, but to meet the Queen and from bended knee to arise Sir Bryn

:23:23. > :23:29.Terfel. Congratulations, can we see the award you got today? It's still

:23:30. > :23:32.surreal. Already I see a knighthood brings a certain significance to

:23:33. > :23:40.what you do in your daily routine as a musician.

:23:41. > :23:45.It helps, I guess, to promote Wales, even more than I have done in the

:23:58. > :24:03.A fantastic time of year and Hannah was here today, but we were only

:24:04. > :24:08.supposed to bring three people and I brought forth. It's wonderful to see

:24:09. > :24:12.my boys and Hannah here. So Sir Bryn Terfel joins an elite

:24:17. > :24:27.but his broader impact on nurturing young singers in Wales and beyond.

:24:53. > :24:58.Cardiff Singer of the world in 1989. That competition returns this year,

:24:59. > :25:02.and its patron has praised Sir Bryn Terfel's inspirational journey. He's

:25:03. > :25:07.been a great ambassador for Wales and for opera. He's a wonderful

:25:08. > :25:14.character, Claudius, Claudius Rice. He does an amazing job. From

:26:07. > :26:11.eventually clears south-eastwards. The best of any dry weather tomorrow

:26:12. > :26:14.in the north, but bad band of rain lingering across much of South and

:26:15. > :26:18.mid Wales, before it eventually starts to clear south-eastwards in

:26:52. > :26:55.dry weather for a time before another friend brings in rain from

:26:56. > :27:02.the south-west by Thursday night. Not a bad day for most of Wales on

:27:03. > :27:06.Thursday, largely dry, breezy, but feeling mild. Pleasantly warm in the

:27:07. > :27:15.sunshine. Temperatures into the teens along the marches. The

:27:16. > :27:19.changeable weather continues later in the week, some rain with some

:27:20. > :27:21.brighter spells too. Remaining mild into the weekend.

:27:22. > :27:28.I just want to update you on a developing story tonight. Within the

:27:36. > :27:39.an amendment to the Brexit bill which called for Parliament to be
