Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The rising number of people here in work but living in poverty. They now | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
out-number those without a job. Very possibly in a few months I may lose | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
some of my funding. I will not be able to live an what I earn. | :00:24. | :00:35. | |
Also tonight. RAF serviceman Scott Hughes was hit by a speedboat at a | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
military base in Cyprus. An inquest blames a failure of safety systems. | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
We as the family have endured almost three long years of pure hell | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
waiting for this inquest to take place. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Tackling street prostitution in Cardiff, an action plan to move sex | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
workers away from residential areas. We're in France at the Somme, where | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
work is getting underway to renovate this memorial representing Welsh | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
soldiers. The librarian saved from the sea is | :01:06. | :01:19. | |
reunited with her mystery rescuer, thanks to Wales Today. | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
Good evening. More families who work are living in poverty than those who | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
don't. That's according to a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
which also says Wales has the highest proportion of low income | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
households in the whole of the UK. Almost a quarter of households here | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
are living in poverty which the charity says is because of a lack of | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
well-paid jobs. James Williams reports. Keeping the home fires | :01:48. | :02:02. | |
burning as a delicate balancing act. The husband is employed and she has | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
a 15-year-old daughter to care. Times are tough, despite a job. You | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
think that you are working and everything will be fine. But you | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
have mob bills to pay because the benefits are being reduced. Your | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
bills are higher. Possibly, in a few months, I will lose some of my | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
funding. I may be down to 14 hours a week and I cannot live under. I am | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
not sure what will happen then. Kate is one of 285,000 adults in Wales | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
who currently have work but are struggling to get by. As it stands, | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
they currently outnumber those suffering from out of work poverty | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
which is more of a problem in more urban communities. Pay has been | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
pretty static for three or four years. At the bottom, it has been | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
static for something like eight years. That is driving the poverty. | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
After household costs have been detected, people earning less than | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
£11,000 are considered to be living below the poverty line. Poverty | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
£11,000 are considered to be living today is a well reported story. A | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
third of our children live in poverty. Wales still has some of the | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
worst areas of poverty in the UK. We need to make sure we simply do not | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
accept that people live in certain communities will not have crept | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
prospect of finding work now and in the future. Education is a key | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
strand in the action plan. Cuts to the welfare budget are a concern to | :03:56. | :04:07. | |
Labour in Cardiff Bay. It is perfectly possible to tackle | :04:07. | :04:19. | |
poverty. The ascribed deadline of 2020 is not possible according to | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
the latest actions. Well, the report shows that rural | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
areas come out particularly badly with the north and west parts of the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
country struggling the most. Abigail Neal has spent the day in Llandysul | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
in Ceredigion to find out more. Employment poverty is worst in the | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
west. Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion have the highest | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
proportion of people in work who receive tax credits to boost low | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
wages. Household income is a measure of poverty so you get a picture of | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
what the situation is like in West Wales when you look at what people | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
earn. Across Wales as a whole, most people earn around £25,000, but here | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
in Llandysul in Ceredigion the most common wage is much lower than that | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
at £19,000. Families where one or both adults work part-time are more | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
likely to have lower incomes. Philip Marchant has just come off sickness | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
benefit and works 13 hours a week in a cafe. I would not say poverty but | :05:19. | :05:32. | |
we are on the line. We have just enough money each month to pay the | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
we are on the line. We have just bills and fees and so on. This sign | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
has been up in the high street hairdressers for a year but the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
owner told me no-one qualified has enquired. Even if they did, lack of | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
passing trade means it's more likely they would be offered a part-time | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
position. That is another problem, we have busy days and quiet days. | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Having staff hanging around, you cannot afford to pay them. For an | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
area where minimum wage and part-time has become the norm, it's | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
not hard to see why work does not always equal wealth. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Sean O'Neil is the policy director at Children in Wales. You work with | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
families struggling with poverty every day. What are you hearing | :06:13. | :06:24. | |
about how hard it is for people? First of all, this is an important | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
report which has come out today. It lays to rest that work automatically | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
is a route out of poverty. Lots of hard-working families try to hold | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
down if you jobs with a family, with children, and earning wages that do | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
not keep them up above the poverty line. Hopefully, the myth is over | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
and we need to create a more sustainable jobs. The impact on | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
children is important. We are finding that lots of children miss | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
out on basic things which other children take for granted. That is | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
often evidence of children going to school hungry and missing out on | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
school trips and other social activities. As winter draws in, the | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
temperatures drop and once again, parents will struggle to pay heating | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
bills. Poverty levels have not changed for the last 15 years. We | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
report on this regularly. Is this just a no win situation? A lot of | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
work and resources have gone in two just a no win situation? A lot of | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
different activities. We need to be doing more to join some of these | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
things up. I think that is greater awareness now of poverty. People did | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
not accept people were in poverty in Wales but up the report helps to | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
dispel that myth. Thank you very much. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
The family of an RAF serviceman who died when he was hit by a speedboat | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
in Cyprus say the Ministry of died when he was hit by a speedboat | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Defence catastrophically failed to ensure his safety. Scott Hughes from | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Y Felinheli in Gwynedd died whilst at a military base in 2010 just | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
after returning from a six-month at a military base in 2010 just | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
tour of Afghanistan. A coroner said there was a failure of safety | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
systems. Matthew Richards has more. Less than 48 hours after leaving | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
active service in Afghanistan completely unscathed, Scott Hughes | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
was killed in a place designed for rest and relaxation. He had been | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
riding on an inflatable being towed by a speedboat at the Tunnel Beach | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
military base in Cyprus. Having fallen off unnoticed by the boat | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
driver and spotter he began to swim to a pontoon when the boat hit him, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
driver and spotter he began to swim its propeller caused injuries from | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
which he died two days later. His family are angry that safety | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
failings at the base led to his death. His whole life and promising | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
career within the RAF Regiment have been cut short by the failures of | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
the Ministry of Defence. We as the family have endured almost three | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
long years of pure hell waiting for this inquest to take place. Our | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
quest to find out all of the truth about what happened to our precious | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
son, Scott. The inquest was told by the spotter on the boat Daniel | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Drinkwater that he and the driver only became aware of Scott Hughes | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
after he appeared at the back of the boat severely injured. Oh no, the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
driver said, what have I done, before driving away in shock without | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
helping the dying aircraftman. The coroner said there had been a | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
systemic failure of 60 systems at the airbase. -- safety systems at | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
the airbase. The Ministry of Defence says it has made all the necessary | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
changes to prevent, as far as possible any recurrence of similar | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
tragedies. A man has been charged with the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
murder of six-week old baby. Alfie Sullock from Cardiff died at the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
University Hospital of Wales last month. 32-year-old Michael Pearce is | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
due to appear in court tomorrow. A man from Newport charged with | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
three counts of attempted murder after a shooting in the city earlier | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
this month has been remanded in custody. Three people were taken to | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
hospital after a car was shot at in the Chepstow Road area. Brogan | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Hooper, who's 20, appeared before magistrates and is due to appear at | :10:33. | :10:47. | |
Newport Crown Court next week. Probation officers and Wales have | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
been protesting against plans by the UK government. Chris Grayling said | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
the move would help to cut reoffending. Unions say that as a | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
disregard for public safety. There are 120 women working the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
streets of the Welsh capital as prostitutes with the majority from | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
abusive backgrounds. That's according to council leaders in | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Cardiff, who will be discussing how to tackle the problem next week. | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
Jenny Rees reports. A centuries-old profession but still a modern to | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
boot. How to tackle the issue of prostitution? Cardiff council | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
cabinet will discuss a plan to move workers on from two residential | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
areas of the city. A study by the council found around 120 women were | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
involved in street prostitution with 95% of them coming from abusive | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
backgrounds. In many cases, they were addicted to class a drugs. One | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
councillor told me residents in this area have often complained they have | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
found condoms and needles in an area where children play. Introducing | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
alley gates can help but it simply move the problem on. My daughter | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
walks to work early in the morning and I get the fear someone will stop | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
and try to approach her. It frightens me. I tend to take her to | :12:15. | :12:26. | |
work. It is worrying. The idiots being focused on are a stones throw | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
away from the city centre. There is no overarching strategy to tackle | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
the problem. It project helps to protect street workers. Many of | :12:39. | :12:52. | |
these street workers have trust in services. A lot of our work is about | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
building up trust. We give out safety equipment, attack alarms and | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
things like that. Cardiff council says much progress has been made but | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
there is considerable work to be done. | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Still to come tonight. 50 years ago a bomb attack killed | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
four children at this church in Alabama. How communities in Wales | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
came together to build a of symbol of hope in the Deep South. | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Celebrations, gifts and thank yous as a mystery rescuer is reunited | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
with the woman he saved. In France at the Somme, work is | :13:26. | :13:40. | |
about to get underway to renovate a memorial to the soldiers of the | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Welsh division who fought in one of the bloodiest battles of the First | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
World War. In 1916, nearly 4000 men from Welsh regiments were either | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
killed or wounded in just five days at the Mametz Wood. From there, | :13:50. | :14:01. | |
Roger Pinney has sent this report. It is a pretty place. That is the | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
first impression. It belies the horror of what happened here almost | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
100 years ago. You come across the Welshman module down a narrow track. | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
The dragon looks across at the wood where so much slaughter took place. | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
He would hear has long since regrown. Look more closely beneath | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
the undergrowth and that is still evidence of the battle today. There | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
are craters, shell holes, the ground is marked for good. The sum is a | :14:33. | :14:44. | |
byword for the harder of war. Almost 4000 soldiers from the first | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
division were killed in just five days of fighting. The monument put | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
up in their memory was a place where old friends met. Welsh and French | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
have worked together but it was paid for by public subscription in Wales. | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
The Dragon was forged from Welsh steel. It is being renovated. We | :15:02. | :15:13. | |
went to maintain an iconic Memorial. It is much photographed and loved. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
We want to make sure it is in tiptop condition. The local Maher told me | :15:17. | :15:37. | |
this place is important for them. He was joined by the Welsh first | :15:37. | :15:46. | |
Minister to remember the sacrifice. Yesterday evening in Belgium, Carwyn | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
Jones take part in the last post ceremony. We will remember them. | :15:56. | :16:08. | |
Before laying a wreath on behalf of the people of Wales, this is the | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
start of a programme of events working at two and through the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
centenary years. If you look at the battles that took place, all these | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
battles are important to those people who lived at that time and | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
the years subsequent. We want to make sure the memory is not lost. In | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
a nearby cemetery, many of the bodies of those who died in the | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
battle are varied. In the wood itself, their attributes to the | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
fallen. This is a place where Wales remembers. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
A homecoming parade has taken place in Haverfordwest for troops | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Members of the 2.2.6 | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Signal Squadron, based at the Cawdor Barracks, were presented with | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
medals. The barracks is due to close in 2018. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
Universities in Wales say they plan to put all their lectures and | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
academic resources onto the internet so they can be accessed for free | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
around the world. They say the move will put them at the front of a | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
global revolution in education. It means students and teachers in | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
poorer parts of the world will be able to access and use work carried | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
out here. That is a thirst for knowledge right across the world | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
particularly in the developing world. Getting access to resources | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
so that individuals can learn is difficult. The responsibility on us | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
in the developed world to provide that mattered for people who are not | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
as not as fortunate as we are. This week in 1963, a bomb ripped | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
through a church in Alabama in the United States, killing four young | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
children. The world was outraged, and across Wales, communities came | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
together in solidarity. They quickly raised the money needed to replace | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
the stained glass windows of the church and 50 years on, those | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
windows still stand in Alabama. Carwyn Jones has the story. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Violence on the streets of Birmingham, Alabama. In the early | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
'60s, as the civil rights movement gathered pace, the city became a | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
hotbed of racial tension. In september 1963, a splinter group of | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
the Klu Klux Klan planted a bomb at the 16th Street Baptist Church. The | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
explosion killed four young girls, who were attending Sunday School. It | :18:30. | :18:40. | |
made headlines around the world. They were such horrific mammaries. | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
People who are now in their 60s were children at the time and we all | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
remember that time. You cannot forget. When news of the attack | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
reached Carmarthenshire artist John Petts, he felt compelled to do help | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
the black community of Alabama in any way he could. His response was | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
to create a new stained glass window to replace the centre piece of the | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
church that had been shattered by the bomb. After many drawings, | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
selecting and rejecting, there came the moment of setting out the whole | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
thing to large scale. To bring the design into being. This was John | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Petts' vision, a black Jesus, arms outstretched in forgiveness, beneath | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
a rainbow of racial unity. At the base of the window, a simple message | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
"Given by the people of Wales." And Wales really did unite in | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
solidarity. Thousands of people came together to raise the funds so the | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
window could be finished and then shipped to Alabama. Much of the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
money came from the multi-racial community in Cardiff's docklands. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
David Shipper, was a volunteer at the Butetown community centre at the | :19:41. | :19:54. | |
time. A collection was taken and I saw £5 notes going in. You are going | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
back 50 years when £5 was considerably more then than it means | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
now. In 1964, the window was installed at the Baptist church in | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Alabama and it's still there 50 years on. This week America has been | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
remembering the attack and the four schoolchildren who lost their lives. | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
The Wales window has become part of the fabric of the church, an | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
enduring symbol of solidarity and the power of forgiveness. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
Tonight's sport starting with football and it's half-time in | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Valencia in Swansea City's opening group match of the Europa League. | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
The home side were reduced to ten men earlier on after this challenge. | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
On 14 minutes, the striker gave Swansea the lead. Swansea are | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
currently leading by one goal. There's commentary of the second | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
half over on BBC Radio Wales. And we'll bring you the result in our | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
bulletin at 10.25pm. The Tour of Britain had ended its | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
second and final stage in Wales. The riders covered more than 177 | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
kilometres from Machynlleth to Caerphilly. The stage was won by Sam | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Bennett. Team Sky's Sir Bradley Wiggins retains the race lead. | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Rain in Chelmsford held up play for much of the third day of Glamorgan's | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Championship match against Essex. The home side moved onto 240 for two | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
before the heavens opened. Its Glamorgan's last match before their | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
LV40 Final on Saturday. We'll be live at Lords on tomorrow evening's | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
programme. On Tuesday's programme, we brought | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
you the story of Fran Murphy who was looking for the man who saved her | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
life. The Cardiff librarian was on holiday in the south of France when | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
she was swept out to sea and a complete stranger scooped her from | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
the water and lay her on the beach before disappearing. The only clue | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
to his identity, he said he was from Swansea. Well thanks to Wales Today | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
he's been found and we've brought the two of them together. Hello. | :21:54. | :22:08. | |
Nice to meet you. She thought she would not be able to thank him. | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
After Wales Today told her story, who Mr Lee K got in touch and we | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
reunited them. You look better than last time. I do not think I could | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
have looked worse than then. She was on the beach in the South of France | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
when she got into trouble. The former Marine came to her rescue. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
She was in a bit of a pickle. Borderline unconscious. I took hold | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
of her and slam her back. On the way back, her friend informed me there | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
was another group of dead Sea. She was safe so I turned around and went | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
to see if I could help out again. Nobody on the beach realised how | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
close to death she was. Her lungs were full of water. Ian went back to | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
sunbathe with his girlfriend. I noticed he had been gone for a | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
while. He was athletic so I thought he had been swimming. He came back | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
and casually said he had saved someone but he sat down. What | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
happened? He said some women had got into trouble and he helped them. I | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
left them to add. He casually got on with things. The women had no idea | :23:32. | :23:41. | |
who had saved them. On the way in with the second group, I just | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
brought up that I was from Swansea because they were from Cardiff. I | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
said if I had known they were from Cardiff I would have left them. I | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
did not realise how serious the condition was when I left. I would | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
not have left if I had known. It was only when they got back home that | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
they put two and two together. I am glad she is OK. Absolutely over the | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
moon that we can thank you in person. You made a big difference to | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
my life. Wonderful. I am really happy. They do not know where they | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
will go on holiday next that they say they would like to go wherever | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
Ian is going. They truly modest K. Let's see what the weather has in | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
store. How's it looking, Derek? A big improvement in the weather | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
today. Wind and rain followed by sunshine | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
this afternoon. Tomorrow largely dry with lighter winds and there's more | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
dry weather to come over the weekend but not completely dry everywhere. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Fine this evening. The sky clear so look out for the full Harvest Moon. | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
After midnight, though, cloud may bring spots of drizzle to Gwynedd | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
and Ceredigion. The wind easing and a cool night. Lowest temperatures | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
seven Celsius in Monmouthshire. 11 on the north Pembrokeshire coast. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
Here's the picture for eight in the morning. Most of the country dry. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Bright in places. Some sunshine. But some cloud as well. Spots of drizzle | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
in Deeside and Ceredigion at least for a time. Otherwise generally dry | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
tomorrow. A fairly quiet day weather-wise. Some cloud with some | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
bright spells and sunshine. The wind lighter than today with top | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
temperatures 14 to 17 Celsius. Feeling quite pleasant in the | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
sunshine. In Meirionydd, largely dry tomorrow. Some cloud and sunshine. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
The temperature in Corwen rising to 15 Celsius. Tomorrow evening dry. | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
Clear spells but during the early hours a few spots of drizzle are | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
likely in the south and west. Saturday's chart shows high pressure | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
over France. This low over the Atlantic is the remains of tropical | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
storm Humberto. He's not heading our way but this warm front is and that | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
will bring us warmer, moist and humid air from the Tropics. So for | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
the weekend, I can promise some dry, bright weather, especially in the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
north and east. But some low cloud, mist, drizzle and hill fog is likely | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
as well, especially in parts of the west and south-west. And by Sunday | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
it will feel warmer and humid. Next week, mostly dry and settled thanks | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
to high pressure. Sunnier and warmer on Monday. Temperatures rising into | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
the 20s. Shorts and T-shirt weather again! Our picture tonight is from | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
Mike Davies. Sunset over the Bristol Channel. Thanks Mike and enjoy the | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
dry weather tomorrow if you can. The top story again. A crack down is | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
ordered on pension schemes that offer poor value to millions of | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
savers. The Office of Fair Trading calls for a ban on some high charges | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
which eat into people's savings. But campaigners say it isn't enough. In | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
Wales. More families who work and living in poverty full stop the | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
report also says Wales has the highest proportion of low income | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
households in the whole of the UK. That is Wales Today. We'll have a | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
quick update at eight and more news at 10.25pm. Have a good evening. | :27:41. | :27:42. |
