:05:13. > :05:15.Well, let's get more on this now from our political
:05:16. > :05:22.What's the situation with tuition fees in England?
:05:23. > :05:42.All universities in England, Wales and Scotland charge ?9,000 per year
:05:43. > :05:49.for tuition fees. In England, there is no help from the government. The
:05:50. > :05:53.Welsh Government puts ?5,000 per year in and it costs around ?230
:05:54. > :06:00.million a year. There are plans to change that next year. There is a
:06:01. > :06:05.contribution towards living costs. But if the Welsh Government wanted
:06:06. > :06:08.to, they could abolish tuition fees now but it would cost hundreds of
:06:09. > :06:13.millions of pounds that they do not have. Yesterday, we saw that pledge
:06:14. > :06:19.to abolish tuition fees in England costing ?10 billion. That means
:06:20. > :06:24.there would be money coming to the Welsh Government to abolish fees in
:06:25. > :06:28.Wales but more importantly, if you can imagine the scenario where
:06:29. > :06:32.universities in England are essentially free, you could not have
:06:33. > :06:39.universities in Wales charging ?9,000 because nobody would go there
:06:40. > :06:44.and they would go bust. What kind of reaction has there been to this? The
:06:45. > :06:48.Conservatives has said that Carwyn Jones should not be making more
:06:49. > :06:52.spending promises that have not been thought through. Plaid Cymru have
:06:53. > :06:55.said that they don't think Carwyn Jones would keep to this promise.
:06:56. > :07:05.Ukip saying this promise is meaningless. The Liberal Democrats,
:07:06. > :07:07.it is a tricky one, it is a labour Welsh Government but the person in
:07:08. > :07:11.charge of education is a Liberal Democrat. They are saying they
:07:12. > :07:13.should be concentrating on living costs, not on fees.

:08:45. > :08:50.critical. It is really simple. It is just a little box and it has a
:08:51. > :08:54.display on it. Mark Jones from the rescue team says they use pagers and
:08:55. > :09:03.mobile phones to mobilise volunteers because phone reception could be
:09:04. > :09:06.unreliable. We respond to different types of calls, searches and medical
:09:07. > :09:10.emergencies. If somebody is having chest pains, you want to be
:09:11. > :09:17.responding to those calls immediately. We don't want to be
:09:18. > :09:20.half an hour behind the game. But that service is under threat since
:09:21. > :09:25.Vodafone decided to close down its pager business. There is one other
:09:26. > :09:31.company that provides the service. The companies were considering a
:09:32. > :09:36.merger but there were concerns that a monopoly could mean higher prices
:09:37. > :09:45.and worse signal coverage so Vodafone decided to stop its service
:09:46. > :09:49.anyway. We have quite a dispersed membership throughout South and mid
:09:50. > :09:54.Wales and we want as many of those, ideally all of those, to get the
:09:55. > :09:59.message immediately. Without a reliable service that we can afford,
:10:00. > :10:01.we cannot guarantee that. The Competition and Markets Authority
:10:02. > :10:06.says there is nothing they can do to stop companies choosing to exit the

:11:14. > :11:21.We have a better job here, we have a better life here.
:11:22. > :11:25.And do you plan to stay, would you go home sometime?

:11:52. > :11:53.In the decade they've run the shop, it's doubled in size

:12:10. > :12:11.paying taxes, paying our rents, the bills, everything,
:12:12. > :12:13.our children go to school over here now and it is hurting
:12:14. > :12:28.To be fair, none of the mainstream parties say that but the scale

:13:33. > :13:39.What do you think the big issues are going to be around here?
:13:40. > :13:42.There's a lot of foreign people around here.
:13:43. > :13:44.A lot of people take issues with them taking

:13:50. > :13:54.When you go, they are all foreigners.

:14:05. > :14:09.people are coming over here and taking our jobs really.
:14:10. > :14:12.They are keeping wages down as well, yeah.
:14:13. > :14:15.And according to the Bank of England, in the lowest skilled
:14:16. > :14:17.industries, a ten percentage point rise in the proportion
:14:18. > :14:20.of immigrants is associated with a 2% reduction in pay.

:14:26. > :14:28.There's not enough people around here for those jobs.
:14:29. > :14:30.There's an awful lot of big factories over there now.
:14:31. > :14:33.So, do recent immigrants put pressure on local services,

:15:30. > :15:32.We want to know which issues are important to you.
:15:33. > :15:35.And we've had plenty of ideas already but we'd like to have more

:16:46. > :16:49.Hull. It is Sunderland tomorrow afternoon but the boss is taking
:16:50. > :16:52.nothing for granted. They have a good manager with plenty of
:16:53. > :16:55.experience who wants to win every game he is involved in. Although
:16:56. > :16:59.they have had a difficult season, they will want to finish strongly.
:17:00. > :17:06.Mentally we are prepared for a tough game. It is certainly a crunch
:17:07. > :17:11.weekend. Victory for Swansea would apply huge pressure on rivals Hull
:17:12. > :17:15.and Crystal Palace will face each other on Sunday. The relegation race
:17:16. > :17:20.could be decided if Swansea win and Hull lose. We don't cheese nothing.
:17:21. > :17:26.We look for our work and the next game is the most important for us.
:17:27. > :17:34.We need to win the game. The pressure lies on all of us to win
:17:35. > :17:39.the game. We have to draw it. If we are defensively sound and solid like
:17:40. > :17:43.we were against Arsenal, then we are bound to create some chances at home
:17:44. > :17:47.and hopefully score. Swansea have spent almost the entire season
:17:48. > :17:50.struggling at the wrong end of the table and staying up would not
:17:51. > :17:55.normally be cause for celebration but this has been an extraordinary

:20:06. > :20:09.in that we didn't see them This year we have seen them
:20:10. > :20:13.sort of April-May time And they seem to be a lot bigger
:20:14. > :20:17.than we usually see. I don't think I've ever seen them
:20:18. > :20:20.quite as big as they are this year Numbers have grown in recent
