Syria? And we speak to Howard Jakonson on his novel about Donald | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Trump. Here on BBC One, it's Picking up the bill | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for residential care - now you can keep more | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
of your savings. Power games - the row | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
over where electricity pylons should run, | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
involving a High Court judge and the granddaughter | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
of King Henry Tudor. And he was the voice | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
of sport for a generation. Tributes to David | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Parry-Jones, who has died. Who should pay for us | :00:29. | :00:43. | |
if we go into care, and how much of our savings | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
should we have to spend? Changes allowing people to keep more | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
of their savings when they move into residential care have come | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
into effect, with the limit But some in the industry fear care | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
homes could lose funding. The Minister for Social Services | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
visiting a care home. She says the changes announced | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
by the Welsh Government today will enable more people to | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
keep more of their money. Until now, people have only been | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
able to keep ?24,000 before paying But over the course of this | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
assembly, we'll be taking extra steps to take that up to ?50,000 | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
that people can keep before starting The most recent census shows that | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
16,500 people over the age of 65 are in a residential | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
care homes in Wales. Up to 4,000 of them pay | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
for the whole of their care, and 1,000 should benefit once | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the limit is lifted to ?50,000. But there are worries | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
about the pressures put on care. My only concern is the fact that | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
there's not going to be enough money in the local authorities' | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
budgets to be able to fund people properly, and not just spread | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
the limited resources too thinly. Then providers find | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
that they haven't got a viable business and have to close, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
and the distress that Residential care can cost, | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
on average, ?30,000 a year, forcing some people to sell their homes | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
or deplete a lifetime of savings. Cynthia Edwards' mother | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
is in a care home in Wrexham She says the increased limit | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
will take some of the worries away from those arranging | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
care for loved ones. That is a big consideration | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
for families when they're looking It is - and the fact | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
that it is likely to go up again Music therapy is part | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
of the timetable at this But some in the industry have | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
concerns about the way things like this could be at | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
risk under the changes. Care Forum Wales, which | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
speaks for the sector, says there is already a | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
?40 million per year funding gap, It is a positive step, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
but like everything else it masks You know, social care is, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
as the Government rightly stresses, a sector of national | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
strategic importance. It currently is in something | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
of a dysfunctional state, even though it underpins | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
the NHS in Wales. What we need to do now is aim | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
for a much more planned approach. A number of improvements to | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
social services have been promised, with an extra ?55 million | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
in the next year. Today's Welsh Government | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
announcement is music to the ears But there are those in the social | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
care sector and local government that fear that unless a major | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
financial shortfall is addressed, A driver has told Cardiff Crown | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Court he doesn't remember the crash which killed his | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
five-year-old step son. Joseph Smith suffered multiple | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
injuries when the car he was travelling in | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
hit oncoming traffic on The court was told he wasn't | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
using a booster seat. Dean Collins denies causing | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
death by dangerous driving. A 55-year-old man has been | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
jailed for five years after he burned down his farmhouse | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
in Whitland, in Carmarthenshire. Charles Chestnut set his | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
?200,500 home alight Swansea Crown Court heard | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
how firefighters found him having a barbeque | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
after he started the blaze. Workers at the Wrexham-based | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Dee Valley Water Company are in consultation | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
with its new owners, Bosses say there are "areas | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
of duplication", and they haven't been able to find | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
alternative roles for 14 people. Concerns about the future | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
of Dee Valley were raised before A High Court judge is being asked | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
to overturn a decision to allow 12.5 miles of electricity pylons in rural | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
North Wales because of their impact The cables would run close | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
to Berain, the birthplace of Kathryn of Berain, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
a granddaughter of King Henry Tudor who's also known | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
as the Mother of Wales. Lawyers for the UK Government insist | :05:04. | :05:06. | |

sitting on Anglesey, the setting for this challenge | :05:10. | :05:21. | |
to the UK Government's Secretary It is a Grade II listed building, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |

a farmstead in the hills He's been told by his lawyers | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
not to talk about the dispute, but he was happy to tell me | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
about his home and its place There is historical boundaries | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
that have been here for 500 years, All the hedgerows are in | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
the same place as they were We are here as custodians, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
and as generations that have been here before us, | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
there will be generations after us. If we're only here for a period, | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
we have to work with what we've got, The line of pylons running from two | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
wind farms north of Saint Asaph Close enough, it's claimed, | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
to have a significant effect This is, after all, | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
beautiful countryside. Knock a door in this area | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
and you often get this response. It should be underground, | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
that's what I think. They don't have to go | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
underground all the way, that when they come to villages, | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
you could put them And that's the nub of it - | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
should or could the cables be put Developers say the pylons would look | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
something like these. Wooden poles up to 15 metres tall | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
and spaced 100 metres apart. They insist putting them underground | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
would be too costly. They also argue they have | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
considered all the options. This case is what's | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
called a judicial review. It's a questioning of the | :07:20. | :07:20. | |
procedure which led to permission for the pylons being | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
given in the first place. In a nutshell, the UK | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Government and its advisers are being challenged about how much | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
weight they gave to the historical significance of Berain, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
and whether they fully considered putting the cables at | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
least partly underground. The judge, Mr Justice Lewis, has | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
said he will reserve his judgment. The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
has promised a fair deal - at the Welsh Labour campaign launch, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
for the council The party controls more | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
than half of the 22 local He admitted that divisions | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
among senior Labour figures at Westminster, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
could have an impact on the way I'm not going to pretend to you | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
that things are good in London - I don't think people would believe | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
me if I said anything different. We've seen good examples of Labour | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
councils delivering across Wales. Really good, energetic | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Labour councillors as well, and candidates, who were | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
working for their communities. And in Welsh Labour, | :08:20. | :08:21. | |

David Parry-Jones, who's died. In a career spanning many decades, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
he famously commentated on Llanelli's historic win | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
over the All Blacks in 1972. He also presented | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Wales Today for many years. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
disease eight years ago, David Parry-Jones, a distinctive | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
voice during the golden age And he was in the commentary | :08:43. | :08:59. | |
box for that match - the day Llanelli humbled | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the mighty All Blacks. He was equally as proud | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
of commenting on the game as I was as a player to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
have played in the game. He was so kind, because I didn't | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
have a clue as a novice. His contribution to rugby union | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
football is incredible. His contribution to | :09:22. | :09:31. | |
the BBC, outstanding. You know, he spoke | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
fairly about Wales. When he did a game, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
he was down the middle, 50-50. But beneath it he was | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
a very proud Welshman. He was born in Pontypridd, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
proud of his education at Merton College, Oxford, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
and started out as a journalist with the times, before | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
working in television. Well, this is one answer | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
to the closed bank problem. Not just on a Saturday morning, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
but any day of the week, really. A familiar face on a BBC Wales Today | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
in the '60s, '70s and '80s, David Parry-Jones's | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
eloquence and charm made him popular with colleagues | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
and the occasional celebrity. He was a wordsmith, | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and he was always looking for new ways of describing things, | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
even describing a simple thing like, you know, a catch in cricket, | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
or a pink in rugby. This is David Parry-Jones, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
about to set off on the second A class act, he was a class | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
act, David Parry-Jones. Yeah, I'm just trying | :10:27. | :10:42. | |
to make a note... In later years he was cared | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
for at his home in Cardiff by his long-term partner, | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
the Radio Cumbria presenter, Betty George, after being | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The couple filmed a documentary | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
together, raising awareness of the challenges of living | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
with a condition, prompting a Betty George described him | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
as a kind, gentle and handsome man. David Parry Jones, who's | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
died at the age of 83. Let's see what the weather | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
has in store - Derek's Thanks very much. Good evening. Last | :11:16. | :11:28. | |
weekend was the warmest of the year so far in Wales. The temperature in | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
a few places soared up to 21 Celsius. A different story today, of | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
course. Much cooler and a reminder that it is still only April. A dry | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
story tonight. A few clouds and the odd isolated light shower, but no | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
more than that. A cool night. Chilly in the wool spots with a touch of | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
ground frost. I pressure on our doorstep tomorrow. -- chilly in the | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
role spots. -- high pressure on our doorstep. Dry white refund shall not | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
much in the way of winds tomorrow. Across west of the UK, many places | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
dry with a mixture of broken clouds, bright with sunny spells. Not dry | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
everywhere - windy in the North with some rain for the north and | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
north-west of Scotland. The temperature in London should reach | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
15 Celsius. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, looking pretty good. Dry | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
and bright with sunshine and a few clouds which tend to increase in the | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
North later in the afternoon. Temperatures 10-14 Celsius with a | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
west or south westerly breeze. Tomorrow evening cloud will spread | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
across the country. Generally dry overnight rain approaching the north | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
coast. Later in the night the breeze will pick up as well. The rain is | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
tied to the conflict which will slide its way southwards during the | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
course of Wednesday. Wednesday, more unsettled, breezy. Rain spreading | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
south during the afternoon. Behind that, brighter skies and a | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
sprinkling of showers. For later in the week, Thursday and Friday, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
plenty of cloud with them dry weather. Also a few spots of rain, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
but not amounting to much. Then it's not looking too bad for the Easter | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
holiday weekend. Not that one, but a lot of dry weather and sunny | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
intervals, too. That's an funny, I wish you a good night. -- that's all | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
from me. That's Wales Today, | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
thank you for watching. From all of us on the | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
programme, good night. | :13:25. | :13:30. |
