:00:28. > :00:32.His career in public life also saw him serve as an MP in Cardiff,

:00:38. > :00:39.There will of course be full reaction to that
:00:40. > :00:42.news on BBC News online, on our radio services in the morning
:00:43. > :00:56.The news about the death of Rhodri Morgan can just
:00:57. > :00:59.after the first Welsh television debate of the general election
:01:00. > :01:00.campaign where Welsh party leaders clashed over Brexit.
:01:01. > :01:02.The five main leaders presented their visions for Wales
:01:03. > :01:05.after leaving the European Union and also discussed their ideas
:01:06. > :01:16.Our reporter James Williams was watching.
:01:17. > :01:22.Just weeks away from a snap election, called with Brexit in
:01:23. > :01:27.mind, it came as no surprise that Brexit would dominate much of the
:01:28. > :01:32.debate. Plaid Cymru 's leader wanted clarity about the future of Welsh
:01:33. > :01:36.farmers, who on average receive about 80% of their income from
:01:37. > :01:40.European Union payments. Either we are going to continue to have a
:01:41. > :01:44.Welsh farming industry and its only with Plaid Cymru voices in
:01:45. > :01:47.Parliament will we make sure that the Welsh farming industry has a
:01:48. > :01:51.voice, all we can see that farming industry go to the wall with a lack
:01:52. > :01:56.of Tory guarantees. These are the kind of threats we face in Wales
:01:57. > :01:59.from the Tories. Each of the five leaders said Wales post Brexit
:02:00. > :02:04.should continue to receive every single penny of money it currently
:02:05. > :02:10.receives from Brussels. With three of the panel having campaigned --
:02:11. > :02:20.having campaigned for remain and two Forli, passions ran high. Can we
:02:21. > :02:24.behave like adults? Grown-up politics say the Liberal Democrats,
:02:25. > :02:27.would entail giving the vote as a second referendum on the Brexit
:02:28. > :02:33.deal. Plaid Cymru and Welsh Labour won the Welsh assembly to have its
:02:34. > :02:37.say. Ukip disagrees. The referendum was a United Kingdom referendum and
:02:38. > :02:41.not just a walk referendum for Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
:02:42. > :02:45.and England. No part of the country has a veto on this and there are
:02:46. > :02:49.differences in the voting patterns in different parts of the United
:02:50. > :02:52.Kingdom. But there was consensus about the need to agree on the
:02:53. > :03:03.rights of UK and European Union citizens across the continent. The
:03:04. > :03:06.EU and the UK need to have a guarantee for each other's citizens
:03:07. > :03:12.but it should have been done by now. Strong and stable leadership, I will
:03:13. > :03:17.use Andrews centres for him, means making an agreement like that so
:03:18. > :03:22.everyone has comfortably for the negotiations start. That has not
:03:23. > :03:26.been done. Although reluctant to reference Jeremy Corbyn, Carwyn
:03:27. > :03:32.Jones did defend UK Labour's manifesto commitments to massively
:03:33. > :03:35.increase public investment and raise higher taxes on the wealthiest.
:03:36. > :03:40.Plaid Cymru would do the same. The Lib Dems would add a penny on income
:03:41. > :03:46.tax. While income tax would remain the same under Ukip. We have cut
:03:47. > :03:52.corporation tax and taken it to 17%, a third more revenue has come into
:03:53. > :03:55.the Treasury. We actually more money in Houston make businesses to create
:03:56. > :04:00.that wealth and that is the key goal. What we have from the parties
:04:01. > :04:04.on my right is an operation to raise everyone's taxes in this country.
:04:05. > :04:09.Whether this being the fifth campaign in Wales in just over two
:04:10. > :04:12.years, apathy was a concern for some. You have a responsibility in
:04:13. > :04:16.the audience to challenge everybody that seeks your vote wherever you
:04:17. > :04:19.are living in this election, challenge him on those issues and
:04:20. > :04:25.share your discontent and have that dialogue with the people that serve
:04:26. > :04:29.and seek to be your representatives. You need to give us the hard time.
:04:30. > :04:33.And you the voters have three weeks left until polling day to do it.
:04:34. > :04:35.A decision about whether to back the multi-million pound Circuit
:04:36. > :04:37.of Wales race track with public money has been delayed
:04:38. > :04:42.The Welsh Government says it must take its time before agreeing
:04:43. > :04:44.to underwrite half the cost of the ?425 million project.
:04:45. > :04:46.But opponents say the process is being dragged out
:04:47. > :04:50.Our political correspondent Daniel Davies reports.
:04:51. > :04:52.The middle of May, although it didn't feel like it
:04:53. > :04:55.This was the time we expected an announcement here
:04:56. > :05:00.The circuit would create thousands of jobs in one
:05:01. > :05:07.of the poorest parts of Wales, according to its developers.
:05:08. > :05:10.They've got private money to pay for it but need a Welsh Government
:05:11. > :05:16.It seems every time the finish line is in sight, it disappears
:05:17. > :05:24.Ministers blamed the latest delay on gaps and inaccuracies
:05:25. > :05:26.in the information they've had from the circuit.
:05:27. > :05:28.Sorting that out has added a few more weeks
:05:29. > :05:35.Here in the Senedd, with a general election three weeks away,
:05:36. > :05:49.opponents say ministers are quite happy to wait a little while longer.
:05:50. > :05:51.What you've done is conduct a forensic audit with the express
:05:52. > :05:54.purpose it seems to me are finding some excuse, any excuse at all,
:05:55. > :05:58.And isn't it also the case, Cabinet Secretary, that having first
:05:59. > :06:00.delayed the decision until after the May local elections,
:06:01. > :06:10.you are now delaying it beyond June 8th.
:06:11. > :06:12.My interest is with the people of Ebbw Vale.
:06:13. > :06:14.Yours seems to be political self-interest.
:06:15. > :06:17.A big difference between ambition and recklessness.
:06:18. > :06:26.I will not short-circuit the due diligence process.
:06:27. > :06:28.There have been many twists and turns since late 2011 when plans
:06:29. > :06:33.The Welsh Government got on board the following year with a ?2 million
:06:34. > :06:35.grant and two years later, it guaranteed a ?7
:06:36. > :06:42.Last April ministers declined to underwrite the ?350 million
:06:43. > :06:51.After months of negotiation, Ken Skates in February he'd look
:06:52. > :06:53.in detail at a new application to guarantee half
:06:54. > :06:59.A decision was expected in March, that was delayed until the middle
:07:00. > :07:02.of this month and now, it's been put off again.
:07:03. > :07:03.The Conservatives say there are serious questions
:07:04. > :07:06.about more than ?9 million the Welsh Government has already
:07:07. > :07:08.given the Circuit of Wales, while Ukip is urging ministers
:07:09. > :07:27.We have Sony delays. I know the minister is saying this is about due
:07:28. > :07:32.diligence but I think it is a excuse for delaying it beyond the
:07:33. > :07:36.elections. I would give the scheme the go-ahead. I am not privy to all
:07:37. > :07:40.the information the government has got but if I were a private investor
:07:41. > :07:41.in the market for this kind of project, I would certainly put some
:07:42. > :07:42.money in. The Circuit of Wales says it has
:07:43. > :07:45.complied with every request from the government about this
:07:46. > :07:47.complex application and that it looks forward to a positive
:07:48. > :07:49.announcement soon but in the Bay, some says the outlook
:07:50. > :07:51.for this project is starting Five people in Pembrokeshire have
:07:52. > :07:58.been arrested on suspicion of "gangmaster" offences
:07:59. > :07:59.following an investigation They were arrested in Milford Haven,
:08:00. > :08:03.following a multi-agency operation. Dyfed Powys Police says those
:08:04. > :08:14.affected are being fully supported. South Wales Police say they hope
:08:15. > :08:17.that becoming the latest force to roll out body-worn video cameras,
:08:18. > :08:19.will help deter criminals It says all front line staff
:08:20. > :08:23.will soon be wearing the technology, It means all four Welsh
:08:24. > :08:26.forces now use bodycams. Imagine being confronted
:08:27. > :08:33.with this one day at work. This footage, an officer's eye view,
:08:34. > :08:35.helped convict the man South Wales Police now the latest
:08:36. > :08:44.force to use body cameras There's an opportunity
:08:45. > :08:53.for the public to confident that police officers
:08:54. > :08:54.are deploying their skills, using force in the appropriate
:08:55. > :08:56.and proportionate way. And for police officers to feel
:08:57. > :08:59.that they are being supported and if they are assaulted
:09:00. > :09:01.or there are particularly negative interactions, the court will see
:09:02. > :09:06.the actuality of it. The force says budget pressures
:09:07. > :09:09.is the reason why they didn't buy A study by Cambridge University last
:09:10. > :09:13.year suggested that after officers started using cameras like this,
:09:14. > :09:17.complaints against them fell by 93%. Everything is being recorded
:09:18. > :09:20.so there is little point in making a malicious claim against a police
:09:21. > :09:23.officer and if you are an officer yourself, maybe even more reason
:09:24. > :09:35.to act professionally at all times. Domestic abuse cases is one

:09:38. > :09:41.Hampshire Police resulted in this perpetrator getting ten
:09:42. > :09:49.years for assault. People don't realise
:09:50. > :09:50.how bad these things are but with that you know footage,
:09:51. > :09:53.they can see how bad it was. They could see I was
:09:54. > :09:55.totally confused. Which you don't get

:10:23. > :10:25.rely on a statement Now the jury can actually see,
:10:26. > :10:28.this is what happened and this is the story
:10:29. > :10:31.of what we are being Of course, it all does come down
:10:32. > :10:38.to hitting record at the right time. Staff are being trained
:10:39. > :10:40.on how to do that. Footage is stored securely online

:10:44. > :11:04.to learn from incidents. Time for the weather forecast.
:11:05. > :11:07.Tomorrow will be much brighter than recently. We will all see some
:11:08. > :11:13.sunshine with a scattering of showers. Much of the country dry
:11:14. > :11:18.tonight. Some clear spells. Showers in the far north-west. There will be
:11:19. > :11:24.clear scare -- spells at much fresher than recently. Temperatures
:11:25. > :11:29.dropping into single figures. A fresh start tomorrow with one or two
:11:30. > :11:33.showers about but many places dry and bright with some blue sky and
:11:34. > :11:38.sunshine. Across the rest of the UK, it is a mixture of sunny spells and
:11:39. > :11:42.scattered showers. Quite a few showers in Northern Ireland. They
:11:43. > :11:49.could be heavy. Should stay dry in London tomorrow. Pleasant in the

:11:59. > :12:03.will stay dry and with the sunshine, it will feel warmer than today.
:12:04. > :12:07.Temperatures up to 17 Celsius. Tomorrow evening, scattered showers
