0:00:20 > 0:00:21Welcome to Wales Today.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Tonight's headlines.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24They sold teeth whitener containing dangerous levels of chemicals that
0:00:24 > 0:00:25caused pain and injuries.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Two men are jailed after a major investigation
0:00:27 > 0:00:28by Powys Trading Standards.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31And why some traders in Abergavenny think a festival that attracts
0:00:31 > 0:00:36thousands of visitors is leaving them out of pocket.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Good evening.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40A father and son, whose family business sold dangerous
0:00:40 > 0:00:41teeth-whitening products at the Royal Welsh Show
0:00:41 > 0:00:44in Llanelwedd and across the UK are starting a prison sentence tonight.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46The judge described the venture, run by John Hargreaves
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and his son Matthew, as "a sophisticated well
0:00:48 > 0:00:50organised operation, which risked the health
0:00:50 > 0:00:51of the general public".
0:00:51 > 0:01:01Matthew Murray reports.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The moment trading standards raided the Hargreaves luxury home
0:01:03 > 0:01:04in Cheshire two years ago.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Today, 69-year-old John Hargreaves, along with his 44-year-old son,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Matthew, were sentenced for selling teeth whitening with 110
0:01:08 > 0:01:10times the legal limit of hydrogen peroxide,
0:01:10 > 0:01:20making, the court heard, ?3.4 million from the venture.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26It all started to come undone here at the Royal Welsh Show
0:01:26 > 0:01:28when the Hargreaves started selling their teeth whitening
0:01:28 > 0:01:32products from a stand.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But Trading Standards were suspicious of the teeth whitening
0:01:34 > 0:01:36stall inside the Royal Welsh Showground.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So they posed as customers and bought some of the goods.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41They were then tested and they were shocked the results.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47The stall was raided and the goods seized.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Our investigation demonstrated that they were active at 150 sites
0:01:49 > 0:01:51throughout the whole UK, and were trading for
0:01:51 > 0:01:57at least eight years.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Ruth Clements from Dorset wanted whiter teeth, so bought one
0:01:59 > 0:02:02of the home whitening kits from the stall at the show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03It cost her ?30.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05She told the BBC's Fake Britain how she took it home.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But after putting it in her mouth, she had to take it out
0:02:08 > 0:02:12almost straightaway.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16My gums started to burn after a very short time and a tingling sensation.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Most comfortable and very soon became painful.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Tooth whitening is a very popular, modern way of lightening teeth,
0:02:21 > 0:02:27that is used extensively in the UK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Professor Alan Gilmour is a consultant in restorative
0:02:29 > 0:02:30dentistry in Cardiff.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32He recognises that whitening is becoming more and more popular
0:02:32 > 0:02:38but has raised concerns about how it is done.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39The major issues relate to safety.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Safety is paramount and the materials that are used need
0:02:42 > 0:02:44to be able to cause minimal harm, no harm, but actually
0:02:44 > 0:02:45affect whitening.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Unfortunately, some materials, if they are the wrong concentration
0:02:47 > 0:02:49or the wrong material themselves, can cause sensitivity,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52sometimes extreme, and can cause gums to be burnt around
0:02:52 > 0:02:57the teeth as well.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00The judge said on sentencing that this was a sophisticated,
0:03:00 > 0:03:01well-organised family operation which was thoroughly
0:03:01 > 0:03:03dishonest, risking the health of the general public
0:03:03 > 0:03:04for a highly lucrative business.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06He sentenced Jonathan and Matthew Hargreaves to 18
0:03:06 > 0:03:08months in prison on each, while Jean Hargreaves received
0:03:08 > 0:03:18a six-month suspended sentence.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23An Iranian man, living in Cardiff, has been jailed for 38 months
0:03:23 > 0:03:25for illegally helping asylum seekers into the country
0:03:25 > 0:03:26and money laundering.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It's the first case of its kind dealt with by the Regional
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Organised Crime Unit here.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Cardiff Crown Court heard that 32-year-old Mostafa Rabeih Lalehka
0:03:32 > 0:03:35helped four Iranian women and twochildren enter the UK,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37in what was described as a carefully organised enterprise,
0:03:37 > 0:03:47where people were exploited for substantial gain.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51If we are serious on addressing this problem, I think we need to continue
0:03:51 > 0:03:54to develop whatever information is available, look for information,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57to get us to a point where we can identify these people and stamp this
0:03:57 > 0:03:58form of criminality out totally.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02To make Wales really a hostile area for individuals who want to engage
0:04:02 > 0:04:11in this form of criminality.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16A former Anglesey councillor has been jailed for 18 months
0:04:16 > 0:04:18for endangering aircraft by shining a powerful torch at RAF-jets
0:04:18 > 0:04:19flying over his home.
0:04:19 > 0:04:2166-year-old John Arthur Jones had become obsessed with repeated
0:04:21 > 0:04:23night-time low-flying exercises close to his house.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The judge described him as arrogant and said his actions
0:04:25 > 0:04:35were potentially life threatening.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The Ukip Assembly leader, Neil Hamilton, has said he's
0:04:39 > 0:04:41perplexed to have had his party conference speech
0:04:41 > 0:04:42cancelled tomorrow.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44He's been replaced by Nathan Gill - Ukip's leader in Wales -
0:04:44 > 0:04:47who's a supporter of the new party leader, Diane James.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49There have been tensions between the two men,
0:04:49 > 0:04:59with Mr Gill deciding to sit as an independent Assembly Member.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05Well, I think it's very perplexing that on behalf of Wales tomorrow,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08hear from someone who is not a member of the Ukip group,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10rather than the leader of the Ukip group in the assembly.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13But Nathan Gill is still Ukip 's leader in Wales.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Isn't it right that he speaks?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Has he been reappointed?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17To be a leader, you need followers.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And I have been democratically elected as the leader
0:05:19 > 0:05:25of the group in the assembly, but it is up to Diane James.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Some local traders in the Abergavenny town centre claim
0:05:27 > 0:05:30this weekend's food festival there, is leaving them out of pocket.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33They say they've been told to close to make room for the event,
0:05:33 > 0:05:34without compensation.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Paul Heaney has the story.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Sights, sounds and tastes of an international food Festival.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The 17 years, Abergavenny has played host to producers, chefs, critics,
0:05:43 > 0:05:44visitors from across the world.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46An event that is flying high, like this art installation
0:05:46 > 0:05:48its organisers helped to pay for.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51But these market traders will have to close over the weekend to make
0:05:51 > 0:05:52room for all those visitors.
0:05:52 > 0:06:02This business has been in Rob's family for two generations.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05We are all small businesses here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It is hard enough as it is, but to lose two days,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13it is a big impact.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Other businesses have applied for one of the 300 stalls
0:06:15 > 0:06:16at the festival itself.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17They cost hundreds of pounds though.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19This bakery says it's worth it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21From another store, she can encourage people back to her
0:06:21 > 0:06:28business in the market in future.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31There is no reason why it cannot work for both sides.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I don't think people don't want the food festival to come.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I just think that they want people to stop and give them a thought.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I think we would have to look at making sure these people
0:06:39 > 0:06:41have a good arrangement next year.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Contractually, the issue is with Monmouthshire Council
0:06:43 > 0:06:45but as Abergavenny Food Festival, we promise them that we will sit
0:06:45 > 0:06:50down and talk with them and try to work these issues out.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Rob received a token amount in compensation last year for lost
0:06:53 > 0:06:55trade but no sign of that this year.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I asked Monmouthshire Council if they had spoken to some
0:06:57 > 0:06:59of the traders hear about their concerns,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01about perhaps offering some kind of compensation for them
0:07:01 > 0:07:02losing their pitch this weekend.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I also asked if the council had received money from the food
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Festival this year as rent for this building.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09But I was told there was no one available for interview
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and the council had no information to add.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Stalls built and ready for 30,000 visitors, millions
0:07:13 > 0:07:14of pounds of spending power.
0:07:14 > 0:07:22Some local businesses hoping for something slightly different
0:07:22 > 0:07:31next year though to make them feel better.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Rugby and in the Pro12, a good night for the Cardiff Blues,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42with a win over Glasgow Warriors at the Arms Park.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Steven Shingler secured the 23-19 win.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44But the Scarlets weren't celebrating.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They're still waiting for their first point of the season
0:07:47 > 0:07:54after losing to Ulser 19-8.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Roald Dahl's centenary celebrations will continue this weekend,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59with Cardiff being transformed into the "City of the Unexpected".
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Organisers remain tight-lipped about the arrangements,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03but say it'll be the biggest arts event ever to happen
0:08:03 > 0:08:10on the streets of the capital.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Time now for the weather forecast with Sue Charles.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Good evening.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15After the humidity of the last few days, feeling much fresher
0:08:15 > 0:08:17as we head into the weekend.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Fairly settled with some decent sunny spells
0:08:19 > 0:08:20and just the odd shower.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Although rain is likely later on Sunday.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24The chart shows high pressure building from the weekend
0:08:24 > 0:08:26but the cold front which brought torrential downpours in eastern
0:08:26 > 0:08:27England still lingering here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So overnight, fairly quiet, the odd shower, otherwise
0:08:29 > 0:08:30clear, dry spells.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Some cloud around and slightly cooler than recent nights
0:08:32 > 0:08:33with north-westerly winds.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34So a chilly start tomorrow.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37We swap the humidity for fresher but fine and settled weather
0:08:37 > 0:08:38with some decent sunny spells.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And across the UK, something of an east-west split.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Further west, in the drier, brighter zone, but where that front
0:08:43 > 0:08:46hovers across the eastern side of England, not quite the downpours
0:08:46 > 0:08:47of today but persistent showers.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Thicker cloud lingering and feeling fresher everywhere.
0:08:49 > 0:08:5115 Celsius in north-west Scotland, 19 in south-east England,
0:08:51 > 0:08:52down several degrees on recent days here.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Across Wales, variable amounts of cloud.
0:08:54 > 0:09:01It should stay dry and foremost.
0:09:01 > 0:09:10The best of the West with a cool northerly breeze.
0:09:11 > 0:09:1716 Celsius in Conwy, 19 in Cardiff.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Temperatures back where they should be for September.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It stays clear tomorrow night but then this cold
0:09:22 > 0:09:24front will probably push in from the Atlantic
0:09:24 > 0:09:30later on Sunday, so a dry but chilly start to Sunday,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33but turning a bit cloudy with the threat of rain
0:09:33 > 0:09:35heading in from the West, reaching Anglesey and Pembrokeshire
0:09:35 > 0:09:44by late afternoon.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48So we lose the humidity of the last few days and then we are in for
0:09:48 > 0:09:50a cooler, fresher weekend, more typical autumnal conditions
0:09:50 > 0:09:54to come next week.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55That's Wales Today.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Thanks for watching.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00From everyone on the late team, good night.
