"The only viable way to secure the future." | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Unions recommend Tata steel workers accept the pension deal on offer. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
A call for a ban on selling flavours like bubble gum and candyfloss | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
for e-cigarettes that could appeal to children. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
And his job was to protect the rights of patients in Wales - | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
now questions over why Tony Rucinski was suspended. | :00:23. | :00:40. | |
Unions at Tata Steel have recommended that workers | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
at its plants in Wales accept the company's pension deal. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Up until now, the three unions had said the decision was a personal one | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
But tonight, they admitted it was the "only credible and viable | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
A ballot on the offer is expected to go ahead on Monday. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
After continued uncertainty and disagreement unions have changed | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
their position on a deal which could secure the future of Tata steel | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Following meetings with Tata all three unions recommend to | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
their members they should accept the deal which would mean | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
In a joint letter to steelworkers unions say they don't | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
take this decision lightly, and that the offer isn't | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
They say while they understand the concerns around the pension scheme | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
it is their view, supported by independent experts, that this is | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
now the only credible and viable way forward to secure the future. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The unions previously said they would | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
leave the decision to Tata's 6000 steelworkers, but there was | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
significant unhappiness about the proposal. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
The BBC understands there has since been clarification | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Tata did put a deal on the table to give reassurances | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
about their future commitment but it was asking a lot | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
of people close to retirement, workers in their 50s who would have | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
taken a big hit had this deal gone through. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
I've been pushing, as have others, for Tata to listen to the feedback. | :02:17. | :02:29. | |
Workers still have a choice to ignore the advice of the union | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
representatives and reject the offer. | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
One former steelworker says it's never going to be an easy decision. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
When they first started in the works, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
they understood, that is what the pension scheme would be. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
To move the goalposts after they've worked there, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
that's what makes it difficult. | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
It's not only the steel industry, but other companies. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
It's a difficult decision to move the | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
You knew what your future pension was going to be, | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Ballot papers will be posted to workers on Monday | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Public health officials have called for a ban on the sale of flavours | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
for e-cigarettes that could appeal to children. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
They say flavours like bubble gum and candyfloss are an attempt | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
to encourage young people to start vaping. | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
They also want tighter controls over advertising, | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
a register of retailers selling e-cigarettes, and restrictions | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Starting the advice young, not to smoke. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
It's hoped these 12 and 13 year olds from Hawthorn High School | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
in Rhondda Cynon Taff will then be peer advocates and spread | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
the message about the health dangers of smoking. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
But Public Health Wales, who are running these sessions, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
are now toughening up their message about e-cigarettes too. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
The concern is they're currently seen as safe, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
could re-normalise smoking, or could even be a gateway | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
for young people and children to start smoking tobacco. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Younger kids want to buy them because they are more attractive. | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
When I walk past in my local town I see them in cool shapes | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
I think they are aimed at young people. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
Public Health Wales say the nicotine in e-cigarettes is damaging | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
to the adolescent brain, so a no-go for children | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
But for those struggling to give up traditional cigarettes, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
a 100% switch to vaping would be less harmful. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
We wouldn't want to see advertising of electronic cigarettes | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
or the production of confectionery-like flavours. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
You can buy bubble gum, candy floss, jam doughnut flavour, | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
they are only aimed at one audience, and that about recruiting | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Celtic Vapours in Llansamlet have spent around ?150,000 having | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
30 flavours tested for things like emissions and toxicology to | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
They argue that e-cigarettes can have a huge role to play | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
in helping people quit smoking, but the rules are currently | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
so strict, they're unable to market their products at all. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
I'd like to be able to market it as the product it is. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
That's how we should be able to market ourselves. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
We are not nicotine replacement therapy, we are not smoking, | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
we are an alternative to both and should be able to | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
They attract a broad range of customers at | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
their six stores across south Wales, with the traditional tobacco | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
and menthol flavours by far their best sellers. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
I was spending about ?200 a month on cigarettes, | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
so the costs and the health implications as well. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
I've been using it for around six months, I've never smoked, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
With a cigarette you know what you're going to get, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
With this you can have a different flavour every time you fill up. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
The market for e-cigarettes, like the devices themselves, has | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
And research into the health benefits and harms continues. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
A man from Swansea has appeared before Westminster Magistrates | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
26-year-old Lee Edward Griffiths is accused of having | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
bomb-making manuals, and instructions on | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
He's charged with five counts of possessing information which may | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
be useful to someone who commits, or prepares acts of terrorism. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey next month. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
More inmates killed themselves in Parc Prison in Bridgend | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
and Swansea Prison between 2015 and 16 than in any other year | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
There was a record number of suicides in prisons in England | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
The UK Government says they're investing ?100 million | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
into the prisons estate and hiring 2500 more officers. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
One of the last major army units based in Wrexham will move | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Battalion | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
at Hightown Barracks is being relocated. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The Army says it'll help staff transfer to alternative | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
But a campaign has been launched following concerns about how | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
We are its family, they are our family. | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
And it's like losing something from... | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
It's been depleted over the years, this, to me, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Opposition parties are demanding a full explanation as to why | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
the assembly was not told about the suspension of the man | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
who heads the patients' watchdog - the board | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
The Welsh Conservatives are accusing the Welsh Government of keeping | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
assembly members in the dark about what's happened to Tony | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
I'm passionate about making things happen. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
That's what I see this new job, the new chief exec has been put | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
into place to make those things happen, to be a much more proactive | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
That's Tony Rucinski on the eve of becoming chief executive | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
of the body that describes itself as the independent | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
But seven months later he was suspended. | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
There was no announcement at the time, and nothing was said | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
publicly on the matter in the 11 months that followed, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
by the board, the Welsh government, or Tony Rucinski. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
We still don't know the reason for his suspension. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The leader of the Welsh Conservatives wants | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
the Health Secretary to explain why AMs here weren't told the board | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
It's hugely concerning that the chief executive, the most senior | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
official had been suspended for 11 months and there's been nothing put | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
The community health councils relied on | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
The Minister hasn't acted in the best interests, | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
the chair hasn't acted on the best interests | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
We don't know the reason for Tony Rucinski's suspension | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
but sources say there was tension between him | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
I've seen e-mails that show Tony Rucinski | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
raised concerns before his suspension that he was being stopped | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
He suggested the chair may have been influenced by | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
a meeting with a Welsh government minister. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
Mutale Merril says she doesn't believe the content | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
and can't comment while due processes being followed. | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
It says Tony Rucinski's suspension is an internal matter. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
11 months and there's no indication of when the problem | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
at the top of the patients watchdog will be resolved. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
A film-maker inspired by migration and religious persecution has been | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
announced the winner of the coveted Artes Mundi contemporary arts prize | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
John Akomfrah was chosen for his "substantial body | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
of outstanding work" over a number of years, including his latest video | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
Born in Ghana, but now based in London, he says it's important | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
to have arts prizes outside the UK capital. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
I wouldn't have done this if it was in London. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
The whole point of being at Artes Mundi is | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
It started here, it's a space which says these questions are | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
important for us and we all come, this isn't my first time, | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
Tomorrow night we'll be catching up with Welsh boxer Lee Selby | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
as he prepares to defend his IBF world featherweight title | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
The 29-year-old from Barry fights Jonathan Victor Barros at the MGM | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Speaking after his first public work-out, Selby says it's been | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
a dream of his to fight in the Mecca of boxing and he's fully focused | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
They follow me all around the country and the UK. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
You know, they flew out to Vegas to support me. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
They come to the pinnacle of the sport, we've worked | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
All we've got to do now is win on Saturday night. | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
Is this cold snap going to ease at all, Derek? | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
Yes, it will turn less cold in the next few days, eventually milder but | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
bitterly cold today for most of us, freezing in Tredegar. Up to seven | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Celsius on Anglesey and stunning on Snowdonia, lots of blue sky and | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
sunshine. Most places dry tonight, patchy cloud, freezing fog on higher | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
ground, frosty in parts of the North West, stayed above freezing in | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Pembrokeshire. Tomorrow this fog will let, the odd snow grain mixed | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
in but otherwise dry. It will brighten up, sunshine likely in | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
parts of Gwyneth and Conway. We have a warning of icy patches for | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
south-east England and East Anglia in the morning, the best sunshine in | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Scotland, elsewhere brighten places but cloud increasing, rain spreading | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
into southern and western countries and temperatures will rise up to | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
nine in Plymouth. Dry for a time in Wales tomorrow but cloud increasing, | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
rain on the way in the afternoon, and misty and murky, part of the | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
North may stay dry until evening and temperatures a few degrees higher | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
than today. Tomorrow evening looks wet but that rain will clear after | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
the night, leaving one to showers, then on Saturday we have some dry | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
weather but showers as well, some heavy with hail and thunder possible | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
and a little snow on hills and mountains. There is a threat of rain | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
on Sunday but some uncertainty. It all hinges on this frontal system | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
which could be further south so turning less cold over the next few | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
days, milder next week but with some wind and rain on the way. | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
We'll be back in Breakfast with updates from around 6:25am tomorrow. | :13:22. | :13:25. |
