:00:10. > :00:12.the party here moves to distance itself from it and says
:00:13. > :00:18.theirs will be "proudly Welsh Labour throughout."

:01:19. > :01:24.It's the document which is dominating the General
:01:25. > :01:26.Election campaign tonight, but the Labour Party in Wales has
:01:27. > :01:32.moved to distance itself from the leaked UK manifesto.
:01:33. > :01:34.The party here says it will publish its own
:01:35. > :01:36.manifesto which will be - in their words - proudly
:01:37. > :01:40.But how different can it be in a UK-wide election?
:01:41. > :01:45.Here's our political editor Nick Servini.
:01:46. > :01:53.Senior figures from Welsh Labour heading to crucial talks in London
:01:54. > :01:59.on the manifesto. There were supposed to be a week to go. It
:02:00. > :02:04.said, the First Minister Carwyn Jones hit a wall of reporters after
:02:05. > :02:10.last night's leak. And this is what is in it about Wales. Not much. Just
:02:11. > :02:14.a short statement saying it is proud of the Welsh Labour government and
:02:15. > :02:19.it will work to protect public services. Welsh Labour responded by
:02:20. > :02:23.calling it an old version and said a distinct manifesto for Wales would
:02:24. > :02:27.be published, that would be a completely different document in
:02:28. > :02:32.terms of tone and priorities. And in a statement that appeared to stress
:02:33. > :02:39.the Welsh party's credentials on spending, it went on to say it takes
:02:40. > :02:42.a responsible approach to finance. We have made tough but they are
:02:43. > :02:46.spending decisions throughout the last decade of shrinking budgets.
:02:47. > :02:52.The Welsh party has been stressing its own identity in the campaign so
:02:53. > :02:56.far, but how credible is that in a UK wide genital election Welsh
:02:57. > :03:04.Labour have tried to distance themselves from Jeremy Corbyn's
:03:05. > :03:07.campaign on this. Jeremy Corbyn is a much less popular leaders and Carwyn
:03:08. > :03:13.Jones in Wales. This is an election that has been framed around
:03:14. > :03:16.leadership. Carwyn Jones wants to protect his leadership. But one
:03:17. > :03:20.Welsh supporter of Jeremy Corbyn said it was more important to stress
:03:21. > :03:26.the similarities rather than the differences in the party. I think
:03:27. > :03:30.he's trying to do the same as we want to do in Wales. We want to
:03:31. > :03:35.bring back equality, we want to help the marginalised and the oppressed,
:03:36. > :03:40.to end discrimination. These priorities across England and Wales.
:03:41. > :03:43.In the middle of an election campaign, whenever politicians all
:03:44. > :03:49.over the place, to get them to dock about most is is is never a problem,
:03:50. > :03:54.to put it mildly. But not today. We have contacted most of the Labour
:03:55. > :03:57.candidates across Wales, and the vast majority didn't want to speak
:03:58. > :04:00.to us about this. The way this document has been leaked in chaotic
:04:01. > :04:06.fashion is clearly an embarrassment for the party. We haven't seen the
:04:07. > :04:11.Welsh version and that has been a parallel process. That hasn't been
:04:12. > :04:14.beat to the press, so there will be an opportunity next week the people
:04:15. > :04:21.to see the version that applies to Wales. The leaked manifesto proposes
:04:22. > :04:25.the renationalisation of the railways, as well as removing the
:04:26. > :04:32.cap of public sector workers and reversing many welfare reforms. How
:04:33. > :04:41.did that go down in Gower, the UK's most marginal constituency? The
:04:42. > :04:45.housing, yes. Young people can get mortgages, they can get homes are
:04:46. > :04:48.renting. I'm in agreement for a lot of the things, but I don't think
:04:49. > :04:52.they will come about, because they haven't said where the money will
:04:53. > :04:56.come from. Tonight, after Labour talks on the manifesto came to an
:04:57. > :05:00.end, the First Minister again stressed the Welsh version would be
:05:01. > :05:04.distinct, but also stressed the areas of shared passions throughout
:05:05. > :05:06.Labour. Both men probably also agree that today would have been best
:05:07. > :05:08.avoided for all concerned. Nick - how difficult a day
:05:09. > :05:18.for Labour has this been? Is the big set piece opportunity to
:05:19. > :05:22.put their vision out there, and it has been messy. In terms of content,
:05:23. > :05:28.it's not a surprise. Jeremy Corbyn believes in a bigger state, more
:05:29. > :05:31.money for public services, renationalisation. The Welsh dynamic
:05:32. > :05:39.is interesting, I think, in all of this. It's not Labour, is Welsh
:05:40. > :05:45.Labour, it's not Jeremy Corbyn, it's Carwyn Jones. It can be problematic
:05:46. > :05:51.at the times of publications of manifestos. We will have Welsh
:05:52. > :05:55.manifestos. The purpose is to deal with devolved services, most notably
:05:56. > :05:59.and obviously, health and education, which is different than in England.
:06:00. > :06:06.But once you deal with that, they can only go up to a point, because
:06:07. > :06:09.big areas like taxation and public expenditure, defence, national
:06:10. > :06:21.security, all these issues are dealt with on a UK wide basis, and yet, we
:06:22. > :06:23.are still told by Welsh Labour delight that the Welsh manifesto
:06:24. > :06:26.will be substantially different in all sorts of areas. In total, in
:06:27. > :06:28.terms of priorities. This is either smart politics from Labour, to focus
:06:29. > :06:33.on Wales throughout the campaign, order it confuses people, it's
:06:34. > :06:35.misleading and maybe it is. We will all find out in a matter of a few
:06:36. > :06:37.weeks. Thanks very much. Wales' biggest health board has -
:06:38. > :06:40.for two years - been in special measures following a string
:06:41. > :06:43.of failings in the care it provided. Now the man tasked with turning
:06:44. > :06:50.around its performance says Betsi Cadwaladr -
:06:51. > :06:52.which covers North Wales - could be ready to have
:06:53. > :06:55.its supervision lifted later this However, he admits performance
:06:56. > :06:58.in some areas remains unacceptable. Our health correspondent Owain
:06:59. > :07:09.Clarke has this exclusive report. It's not perhaps something he would
:07:10. > :07:12.usually do in a pub, but the locals here are discussing the future of
:07:13. > :07:19.the NHS in a meeting arranged by the health board. I think they do
:07:20. > :07:23.appreciate the hard work the NHS does, but it's getting new ideas and
:07:24. > :07:27.new services through. We've had a good conversation and good examples
:07:28. > :07:32.of what works well, what needs to improve. Really important to try and
:07:33. > :07:36.change what is happening now, because of the budgets are going
:07:37. > :07:43.smaller and smaller. Their views will feed into a new plan. The
:07:44. > :07:50.health board wants to prove it is listening, after being attacked for
:07:51. > :07:54.not listening before. Gary Doherty took over the boss in February last
:07:55. > :07:59.year, eight months after special measures were imposed. He inherited
:08:00. > :08:05.long A and treatment delays, along with staff shortages. But with
:08:06. > :08:09.hospital infection rates dropping by a quarter, staff morale my much
:08:10. > :08:15.better and performance on stroke and cancer care among the best in Wales,
:08:16. > :08:19.he is quietly confident. I think people recognise why we were put on
:08:20. > :08:22.special measures in terms of our staff, I think people feel we need
:08:23. > :08:26.to do the right things to respond to that and hopefully we will come out
:08:27. > :08:31.of special measures quickly if we do the right things. He admits
:08:32. > :08:40.performance in some areas remains unacceptable. Waiting times need to
:08:41. > :08:43.improve. There was the scandal where it was found some patients were
:08:44. > :08:48.treated like animals on a mental health ward that closed in 2013. In
:08:49. > :08:51.terms of improving mental health services more generally, bosses
:08:52. > :08:55.admit they're still a long way to go. From childhood, Richard Birch
:08:56. > :09:01.tree though something was wrong. He was often depressed and sometimes
:09:02. > :09:09.felt suicidal. I went to my GP and said I needed help. They sent me to
:09:10. > :09:15.what was called First Access. My world wasn't putting on me. I had to
:09:16. > :09:19.go to A in. But Richard is having an opportunity to help things put
:09:20. > :09:25.right, along with others who use mental health services, he is
:09:26. > :09:30.helping to draw up Betsi Cadwaladr's new mental health strategy. Long A
:09:31. > :09:35.weights and ambulance delays and a big deficit and other problems, but
:09:36. > :09:40.one of the most pressing is a shortage of GPs. Here in Prestatyn,
:09:41. > :09:43.the health board had to take over control of the surgeries that were
:09:44. > :09:50.at risk of closing. The solution was to form a network of surgeries,
:09:51. > :09:53.better supported by other professionals, like nurses,
:09:54. > :09:57.physiotherapists and pharmacists. The result was 10,000 fewer GP
:09:58. > :10:04.appointments and, they say, better care. We realise the service we are
:10:05. > :10:07.delivering his fantastic on many levels, but isn't necessarily
:10:08. > :10:16.delivering a service or group of patients we expect to increase. What
:10:17. > :10:18.do we do? That becomes an issue, as we faced, forcing our hands to do
:10:19. > :10:22.something a little bit faster than we might have been doing. And
:10:23. > :10:28.special measures, according to the boss, have done the same for the
:10:29. > :10:31.entire organisation. That has been a catalyst for change. It was an
:10:32. > :10:37.acceptance that things were not where they should be. A very public
:10:38. > :10:40.acceptance and then a public acceptance of the challenge, to say,
:10:41. > :10:42.let's get to where we want to be. But just how quickly they get there
:10:43. > :10:45.will not be his decision. Owain Clarke with that exclusive

:11:13. > :11:15.member of the Cabinet - will challenge Jamie Adams
:11:16. > :11:16.for the Leadership. Councillor Adams was leader -
:11:17. > :11:18.from 2012 until this Councillors will vote
:11:19. > :11:26.on May the 25th. The future of many
:11:27. > :11:28.small hydro schemes - which pump money back
:11:29. > :11:31.into communities - is in jeopardy due
:11:32. > :11:34.to a sharp rise in business rates. That's the warning from two industry
:11:35. > :11:37.bodies who've told BBC Wales that some green energy projects have seen
:11:38. > :11:40.rate increases of as much Our environment correspondent
:11:41. > :11:47.Steffan Messenger has more. For the last year, the villagers
:11:48. > :11:50.of Abergwyngregyn in Gwynedd have been using their local river
:11:51. > :11:52.to generate electricity They used to pay ?900 a month
:11:53. > :12:00.as a tax to the local council, but after a recent revaluation
:12:01. > :12:02.of business rates across Wales and England, their bill has shot up
:12:03. > :12:09.to over ?2,000 a month. It is mainly volunteers that run
:12:10. > :12:12.community energy projects like this Their profits ploughed back
:12:13. > :12:18.into the local area, the upkeep of the village hall,
:12:19. > :12:20.for instance, or grants So to see a big chunk of those
:12:21. > :12:24.profits disappear as a result of this hike in business rates,
:12:25. > :12:27.is for many, hard to take. I am extremely annoyed -
:12:28. > :12:32.I have done this in good faith all these years and I expect
:12:33. > :12:35.the money that the hydro produces This increase is just
:12:36. > :12:44.out of all proportion. Gwynedd, with mountains and rivers
:12:45. > :12:46.aplenty, has become a hub for community hydro schemes
:12:47. > :12:50.in recent years. In Bethesda, where theirs has only
:12:51. > :12:53.just started generating, they are now predicting
:12:54. > :12:55.they will make a loss each month, with no money
:12:56. > :12:58.at all for the local area. These projects have been set up
:12:59. > :13:01.for community enhancement, community sustainability,
:13:02. > :13:02.and this is ripping In Scotland, they have
:13:03. > :13:05.done something about it, they are giving 100% business rates
:13:06. > :13:07.relief, because they know it is of benefit
:13:08. > :13:10.to the communities that they serve. In Wales, there is nothing really
:13:11. > :13:21.for these medium to larger systems. The British Hydropower Association
:13:22. > :13:23.say a quirk in the way the rates are worked out
:13:24. > :13:25.is hitting their members particularly hard, and ultimately,
:13:26. > :13:27.a change in the law In the meantime, the support
:13:28. > :13:32.available to help businesses pay their way is in the hands
:13:33. > :13:34.of the Welsh government, and they believe ministers
:13:35. > :13:40.here could do more. You have a strategy that sets
:13:41. > :13:42.out your green agenda, and yet you are standing
:13:43. > :13:45.by while not only hydro schemes are suffering,
:13:46. > :13:47.but small businesses. And those small businesses
:13:48. > :13:50.at some stage will say, we cannot afford to pay these rates
:13:51. > :13:53.and therefore, they will abandon the schemes, and that's
:13:54. > :13:57.the last thing we want. The Labour-run Welsh government says
:13:58. > :14:00.it is aware of the situation and is considering whether to offer
:14:01. > :14:02.specific assistance with business Plaid Cymru and the Lib Dems told
:14:03. > :14:09.us they would do that. While the Green Party
:14:10. > :14:11.said they would scrap the taxes altogether
:14:12. > :14:13.for renewable energy projects. Ukip and the Conservatives
:14:14. > :14:16.didn't respond. Meanwhile, the community energy
:14:17. > :14:21.sector, much favoured by politicians of all hues,
:14:22. > :14:30.says it's in deep water. Still ahead tonight -

:15:57. > :16:00.electricity generated by the six-mile lagoon would power

:16:10. > :16:12.in Cardiff, Newport and Colwyn Bay. Before the project can go ahead,

:17:29. > :17:35.this general election is also of course about choosing the Prime
:17:36. > :17:37.Minister. This campaign, more than most,
:17:38. > :17:39.has focussed on the party leaders. So will it be the personalities
:17:40. > :17:42.or policies that determine where you put your cross
:17:43. > :17:47.on polling day? Our Political Reporter Bethan Lewis
:17:48. > :18:05.has been finding out. On the cricket pitch, the captain is
:18:06. > :18:11.a key figure, up from the touring cost of the final wicket. And at
:18:12. > :18:16.election time, political leaders are front and centre. On one level, this
:18:17. > :18:19.election is about two captains, Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, going
:18:20. > :18:25.head-to-head to be Prime Minister. But the leaders, whether the
:18:26. > :18:29.Nationalists of goodies Ukip, could have a big influence on the national
:18:30. > :18:35.forces of their parties. The men that is the Welsh party leaders to
:18:36. > :18:38.with Labour calling on Carwyn Jones rather than Jeremy Corbyn to open
:18:39. > :18:42.the batting for them when they watched their campaign here in
:18:43. > :18:45.earlier this week. A former senior adviser to the First Minister says
:18:46. > :18:55.it makes sense to put the focus on him. No surprise when you have a
:18:56. > :19:02.leader who isn't popular with certain voters. It's partly takes
:19:03. > :19:07.away from the popularity of Jeremy Corbyn, but that is a Labour
:19:08. > :19:12.government there. Televised debates have provided an important platform
:19:13. > :19:17.for leaders in past elections. The focus on Theresa May against Jeremy
:19:18. > :19:21.Corbyn makes it very hard for Plaid Cymru, Liberal Democrats and Ukip to
:19:22. > :19:27.get their message ahead in this election. Quite simply, the story is
:19:28. > :19:32.not about them. For them to win seats, they have to couple
:19:33. > :19:39.attractive policies with ruthless targeting a couple of seats they can
:19:40. > :19:43.hope to win. Strong leadership. It's a message voters will be hearing
:19:44. > :19:56.again and again. What is election time like for leaders? It's a lot of
