£300m deal for Swansea Bay tidal lagoon wall

A £300m deal to build the six-mile wall for the world's first tidal lagoon power plant in Swansea Bay has been awarded to a company from China.

China Harbour Engineering Company will open a base in the UK and spend half of the contract's value on a British workforce, partners and supply chain.

Prime Minister David Cameron said the deal was a "win-win" for both countries.

Economics correspondent Sarah Dickins reports.
