:02:25. > :02:29.We came New Palace Yard and I suppose the incident that

:07:09. > :07:11.about the future of some of Wales' older prisons like Swansea

:08:18. > :08:19.new psycho-active substances are proving tough to tackle.

:08:23. > :08:27.Earlier this month, photographs appearing to show people under

:08:34. > :08:46.Those who've tried it say they've had seizures,
:08:47. > :08:48.stopped breathing, forgotten who they are and heard voices.

:09:08. > :09:14.Substance misuse seems to be more visible now in communities.
:09:15. > :09:17.People seem a bit more careless, a bit less bothered about being seen
:09:18. > :09:28.So we've got the public face of substance misuse which isn't
:09:29. > :09:31.always something that the public want to see.
:09:32. > :09:34.So I think that raises all sorts of challenges for us

:09:38. > :09:44.These are NPSs seized by North Wales Police.
:09:45. > :09:48.But whether they're called Spice, Blue Cheese or Black Mamba,

:10:07. > :10:09.So for me, if they're running away from it, then clearly,
:10:10. > :10:11.there's something about it that is very sinister.
:10:12. > :10:14.But the problem we've got now is we've got this collective group
:10:15. > :10:17.of individuals who are coalescing together, who probably feel
