Our top story. Not enough staff to do its job

:00:14.:00:17.

properly - a health watchdog warns it can't be sure that failings

:00:18.:00:20.

leading to deaths in England aren't happening here.

:00:21.:00:37.

It cost taxpayers ?48,000 - the wind turbine bought by the Welsh

:00:38.:00:44.

Government. It could take 400 years for it to make its money back.

:00:45.:00:48.

Over 40 and overweight - the growing number of middle aged people who are

:00:49.:00:51.

obese and don't realise it. Putting thousand of years of history

:00:52.:00:54.

at your fingertips - the new app pioneered in Wales.

:00:55.:01:04.

And the ?30,000 prize on offer for some young writers. We are live at

:01:05.:01:09.

the Dylan Thomas Prize in Swansea tonight.

:01:10.:01:12.

Wales' health watchdog says it cannot be certain that a situation

:01:13.:01:16.

similar to a scandal which led to the deaths of hundreds of hospital

:01:17.:01:19.

patients in England is not happening here. The head of health care

:01:20.:01:24.

Inspectorate Wales told Assembly Members that she doesn't have enough

:01:25.:01:29.

staff to do the job. The Health Minister says he's concerned. James

:01:30.:01:36.

Williams reports. Failings at Stafford Hospital led to

:01:37.:01:40.

the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of patients. It shook the English

:01:41.:01:45.

NHS but its tremors are also being felt in Wales. Despite their not

:01:46.:01:50.

being a scandal this side of the border, they have been a series of

:01:51.:01:54.

failings this year which have been a cause for concern. In March,

:01:55.:02:00.

hospital consultants warned that Accident and Emergency departments

:02:01.:02:11.

were at the point of meltdown. And just last week, the Health Minister

:02:12.:02:15.

ordered a review into one health board following the serious neglect

:02:16.:02:23.

at two of its hospitals. Issues of concern for the health care

:02:24.:02:29.

Inspectorate Wales. It is the subject of a review by Assembly

:02:30.:02:36.

Members. My concern at the moment in teams of being able to give you the

:02:37.:02:41.

assurance you want is that I am not concerned -- convinced we have

:02:42.:02:45.

enough coverage in terms of testing to give you that strong assurance.

:02:46.:02:51.

The watchdog said staffing issues could not allow it to carry

:02:52.:02:56.

sufficient tests. It is an issue for the Health Minister will stop to you

:02:57.:03:03.

have any concerns about the capacity to carry out the functions that you

:03:04.:03:09.

require for it to provide the service that you want from an

:03:10.:03:15.

independent inspectorate? I have had concerns about its capacity in the

:03:16.:03:20.

last year. Those concerns have more been about its ability to recruit

:03:21.:03:27.

and retain the staff it needs to discharge those responsibilities

:03:28.:03:29.

than it has been about the financial resource. The Health Minister

:03:30.:03:36.

answered today's questions regarding the watchdog but with others asking

:03:37.:03:40.

whether it is fit for purpose, the questioning may have only just

:03:41.:03:41.

begun. In some breaking news this evening,

:03:42.:03:46.

it's been confirmed that Cardiff Royal Infirmary is one of a number

:03:47.:03:49.

of hospitals being investigated following revelations about the

:03:50.:03:52.

former Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile. Our reporter Carl Roberts joins me. What

:03:53.:03:59.

have we learned tonight? Some breaking news. Back in October the

:04:00.:04:03.

Health Secretary in England confirmed that there were a number

:04:04.:04:08.

of enquiries on going into Jimmy Savile's offending, 13 of them. It

:04:09.:04:12.

has transpired today that one of these relates to Cardiff Royal

:04:13.:04:17.

infirmary. Disclosure has been made in a written answer to. It says that

:04:18.:04:25.

Cardiff Royal infirmary is one of 13 hospitals around the country

:04:26.:04:31.

currently under investigation. The hospital has been open since 1883,

:04:32.:04:35.

it is undergoing a ?33 million revamp. It is very well known to

:04:36.:04:45.

people in Cardiff. Thank you very much for that. The latest on that

:04:46.:04:48.

story this evening. The majority of people in Wales will

:04:49.:04:52.

be obese in 30 years. That's the warning tonight from a leading

:04:53.:04:56.

doctor. It comes as new research found nearly two-thirds of people in

:04:57.:04:59.

their early 40s here are either overweight or obese. The study by

:05:00.:05:03.

the University of London suggests nearly half of men are overweight,

:05:04.:05:07.

compared to a third of women. So, why aren't warnings about obesity

:05:08.:05:10.

getting-through? We sent Caroline Evans to Ebbw Vale to find out.

:05:11.:05:20.

Back in the 1970s when Ebbw Vale was a steel town, food and plenty of it

:05:21.:05:24.

was just what was needed at the end of a hard day's work. But for the

:05:25.:05:30.

children who grew up back then, life now is different, but old habits die

:05:31.:05:36.

hard. Big portions for affordable prices. People around here want to

:05:37.:05:41.

eat some big portions. Some health professionals believe that as a

:05:42.:05:45.

nation our perception is training and perhaps we no longer see

:05:46.:05:49.

ourselves the way others see us. With a minimum amount of science, we

:05:50.:05:53.

asked people here to test their knowledge and judge their own

:05:54.:05:57.

weight. Do you know how much you weigh? 16.5 stone. Have a go. What

:05:58.:06:11.

does it say? 17. Surprised? A little bit. I have got to lose some weight

:06:12.:06:16.

before Christmas. Looking at people around the town, they all seem to be

:06:17.:06:21.

well fed. How accurate do you think you are? Within a field pounds. But

:06:22.:06:29.

I am always watching my weight. I think a lot of women do. I think we

:06:30.:06:36.

are all dieting in some form or another. That is not right. That is

:06:37.:06:47.

it, I am going! The only NHS funded weight management clinic in Wales is

:06:48.:06:52.

held in Ebbw Vale. This doctor runs it and today he was chairing a

:06:53.:06:55.

conference in Wrexham around the issues. He says it is not just a

:06:56.:07:03.

middle-aged problem. In 35 years, we might find that the majority of the

:07:04.:07:08.

publishing are overweight or obese. And we have a problem with children.

:07:09.:07:15.

More than 25% of our children are overweight or obese. It is a true

:07:16.:07:25.

epidemic. We are having to halt the programme of that epidemic. The

:07:26.:07:30.

Welsh government says its approach is to enable people to make

:07:31.:07:34.

healthier choices and it has put programmes in place to support

:07:35.:07:38.

that, in particular targeting middle-aged men. Today's findings

:07:39.:07:42.

will be presented to the Department of Health.

:07:43.:07:44.

Dr Alice Sullivan who carried out the research joins me now from

:07:45.:07:48.

London. A leading doctor has told us he predicts most people in Wales

:07:49.:07:52.

will be obese in 30 years' time. We all know junk food and no exercise

:07:53.:07:56.

is bad for us. Why aren't health warnings having any affect? We are

:07:57.:08:04.

already seeing that among men that around 70% are low weight --

:08:05.:08:12.

overweight or obese. It is becoming unusual for men to have a normal

:08:13.:08:20.

BMI. It is only around a third who have a healthy weight. Part of the

:08:21.:08:29.

reason the message is not getting through, particularly for men, is

:08:30.:08:33.

that they don't realise they are overweight and that is one thing we

:08:34.:08:38.

found. About a third of the overweight men thought they were

:08:39.:08:40.

about the right weight and about half of obese men thought they were

:08:41.:08:45.

only slightly overweight. If they don't realise they are overweight,

:08:46.:08:49.

it is quite likely they are not going to respond to health messages.

:08:50.:08:55.

Wipe you think more men are overweight? There are quite strong

:08:56.:09:02.

social pressures on women to be a particular weight and sometimes that

:09:03.:09:05.

is seen as a problem and in some ways it can be a problem, but in

:09:06.:09:09.

another way the lack of pressure on men to be a healthy weight does have

:09:10.:09:15.

implications to because being overweight is linked to all sorts of

:09:16.:09:18.

health problems and particularly for men over 35. Cardiovascular disease

:09:19.:09:25.

is the leading cause of death. Thank you very much.

:09:26.:09:29.

The number of cases of measles in Neath and Swansea has more than

:09:30.:09:32.

doubled in the last two weeks. 36 people now have the illness. Public

:09:33.:09:38.

Health officials are urging parents to give their children both doses of

:09:39.:09:41.

the MMR vaccine to stop it spreading.

:09:42.:09:44.

Fire crews have spent a second day tackling a blaze at a recycling

:09:45.:09:47.

centre in the Vale of Glamorgan. Around 20 fire-fighters are still at

:09:48.:09:51.

the Site-serve centre in Llandow, where a fire broke out Tuesday

:09:52.:09:54.

evening. Fears that asbestos could be burning at the site have proved

:09:55.:09:58.

to be unfounded. Food worth ?610 million is thrown

:09:59.:10:01.

away in Wales every year, according to a new report. The recycling

:10:02.:10:05.

group, Waste and Resources Action Programme, says 210,000 tonnes of

:10:06.:10:13.

food which could be eaten is dumped. It says buying too much, serving big

:10:14.:10:15.

portions and confusion over best before labels were the main causes.

:10:16.:10:24.

A wind turbine that cost the Welsh Government ?48,000 to buy and

:10:25.:10:27.

install will take more than 400 years to recoup its cost. The

:10:28.:10:31.

turbine, at the government's Aberystwyth office, has on average

:10:32.:10:34.

been generating around five pounds worth of electricity per month. The

:10:35.:10:39.

data was released following a freedom of information request. The

:10:40.:10:41.

government blames mechanical problems and says it will review the

:10:42.:10:45.

operation of the turbine with the relevant contractors. Craig Duggan

:10:46.:10:52.

reports. This is the turbine. It is not part

:10:53.:10:55.

of a large wind farm but stands on its own next to the Welsh government

:10:56.:11:00.

offices in Aberystwyth. When the building opened in 2009, it was

:11:01.:11:07.

lauded for its green credentials. It was rated as excellent for

:11:08.:11:11.

sustainability by an independent assessor. But the turbine has

:11:12.:11:15.

consistently performed below capacity. Its output has been

:11:16.:11:19.

monitored since January 2012. Between then and July this year, the

:11:20.:11:26.

turbine generated 400 -- 585 kilowatt hours of energy. It cost is

:11:27.:11:32.

16p per kilowatt hour. On average, the turbine has been generating

:11:33.:11:36.

?5.20 of Alec is 16p per kilowatt hour. On average, the turbine has

:11:37.:11:38.

been generating ?5.20 of elegance visited the month. It cost the Welsh

:11:39.:11:41.

government ?48,000 to buy and install. If it continues to generate

:11:42.:11:45.

energy city at the current rate, it will take 452 years to offset the

:11:46.:11:53.

price and cost of installation. The Conservatives say it raises

:11:54.:11:55.

questions over the Welsh government's green credentials. It

:11:56.:12:01.

is an embarrassing blunder by the government, it makes a mockery of

:12:02.:12:05.

carbon management strategy, and it is a prime example of the Welsh

:12:06.:12:09.

Labour government ticking boxes to make themselves look like they are

:12:10.:12:14.

being green. One expert on renewable energy says the performance is far

:12:15.:12:19.

from typical. A typical figure might be seven or eight years for payback

:12:20.:12:23.

and then you have got the rest of the contract to make a profit. But

:12:24.:12:28.

it does depend very much on the situation of exact location, the

:12:29.:12:31.

wind speed particularly and the size of the machine. The government says

:12:32.:12:36.

they have been mechanical problems with the turbine meaning that in the

:12:37.:12:41.

period it measured the output it was operating well below capacity.

:12:42.:12:45.

Repairs have been done to improve its performance. The manufacturers

:12:46.:12:50.

say the location is the main reason for the poor performance. They said

:12:51.:12:54.

prior to inspire bash installation it would be exposed to enough wind

:12:55.:12:58.

to make it viable. You're watching Wales Today. Stay

:12:59.:13:03.

with us. Plenty still ahead. He was in line for his first cap for

:13:04.:13:07.

Wales but Eli Walker is ruled out of the game against South Africa.

:13:08.:13:14.

And the writers in the running for one of the world's Richards awards,

:13:15.:13:19.

the Dylan Thomas Prize, it will be presented in Swansea tonight.

:13:20.:13:22.

Some of Wales' most eminent scientists will, for the first time,

:13:23.:13:28.

work under the same roof with the opening of a new medical research

:13:29.:13:31.

centre at Cardiff University. The ?30 million Haydn Ellis building

:13:32.:13:34.

brings together world-leading experts in genetics, cancer and

:13:35.:13:38.

mental health. It's claimed it will strengthen Cardiff and Wales'

:13:39.:13:40.

reputation for world-class scientific research. Our health

:13:41.:13:45.

correspondent Owain Clarke has the details.

:13:46.:13:58.

Architecturally, it is state of the art. Clean lines and sharp edges for

:13:59.:14:03.

those working at the cutting edge. Inside it also looks more like a

:14:04.:14:07.

modern airport and that certainly impressed the science minister. I

:14:08.:14:13.

think the space is wonderful because you feel you can go in and do

:14:14.:14:17.

business but it is also very relaxed. You can see where people

:14:18.:14:22.

can come together to communicate. But the most important thing is not

:14:23.:14:26.

what it looks like, it is the fact it brings together teams of top

:14:27.:14:31.

scientists that previously worked in different buildings. It is hoped

:14:32.:14:34.

they can bounce off each other ideas and expertise, perhaps over a bite

:14:35.:14:41.

to eat or a couple of copy. And you can find world renowned academics

:14:42.:14:45.

around every corner. The genetic steam on the third floor recently

:14:46.:14:50.

led a project that discovered 11 new genes that can cause Alzheimer's. We

:14:51.:14:55.

create a critical mass of joint expertise and that takes you to

:14:56.:15:00.

other levels. You really can do big science when you get these

:15:01.:15:04.

scientists together. Wales is a small nation but we can do some

:15:05.:15:10.

things very well. Downstairs you'll find the cancer specialists looking

:15:11.:15:13.

for ways to switch off cells which they think are responsible for the

:15:14.:15:19.

spread the disease. There is a secondary purpose to provide a

:15:20.:15:22.

nurturing environment for early stage career scientists, the really

:15:23.:15:26.

hot new scientist that are coming into the field. The building is

:15:27.:15:34.

named after the university's late Deputy Vice Chancellor. He strongly

:15:35.:15:37.

believed that scientists from different disciplines could work

:15:38.:15:41.

better working together. It is a principle embodied by the new

:15:42.:15:46.

building. You have got to break the old modes that people have got stuck

:15:47.:15:51.

into and the other thing is that science these days, the important

:15:52.:15:56.

questions need teams of people. But none of this would be possible

:15:57.:16:02.

without the input of patients. It is all about getting people to come and

:16:03.:16:07.

help with this research. Come along, be interviewed, answer some

:16:08.:16:11.

questions, give blood samples and allow us to know about the

:16:12.:16:16.

experience of illness. And with plans afoot to build a multi-million

:16:17.:16:20.

pound brain imaging Centre next door, the aim is to attract more of

:16:21.:16:24.

the brightest and best, which hopefully will you to treatments

:16:25.:16:31.

that could help millions. The Royal Navy's HMS Severn is

:16:32.:16:35.

visiting Newport. The offshore patrol vessel is twinned with the

:16:36.:16:38.

city and will host school children over the next four days. The crew

:16:39.:16:42.

will also take part in Newport's Remembrance Day parade on Sunday.

:16:43.:16:47.

Newport, being stupid in maritime history, dating back to the 15th

:16:48.:16:52.

century, and still today in the busy dock area, we have a direct link so

:16:53.:16:57.

there is no better place than Newport.

:16:58.:16:59.

A new million-pound accommodation block has been officially opened at

:17:00.:17:03.

the Urdd Centre at Llangrannog in Ceredigion. The First Minister,

:17:04.:17:05.

Carwyn Jones, opened the block which replaces the old wooden cabins.

:17:06.:17:10.

It'll house 128 beds, bringing the number who can stay there to 520.

:17:11.:17:16.

One of the world's biggest literary prizes will be awarded in Swansea

:17:17.:17:21.

tonight. A poet from Aberystwyth is among seven young writers from

:17:22.:17:24.

across the world, aiming to win the ?30,000 Dylan Thomas prize. Our arts

:17:25.:17:29.

and media correspondent Huw Thomas is there.

:17:30.:17:40.

It is an unusually grammar is -- glamorous event for the book world.

:17:41.:17:45.

The Dylan Thomas Prize is a serious affair. Seven writers all under 30

:17:46.:17:50.

all competing for the Dylan Thomas Prize and a cheque for ?30,000.

:17:51.:17:56.

Young writers inspiring the next generation. Two of the short listed

:17:57.:17:59.

authors took their books to the classroom this week. They visit to

:18:00.:18:05.

this club offensive was part of a packed schedule ahead of tonight's

:18:06.:18:10.

awards ceremony. Jemma King is the only Welsh writer in the running, a

:18:11.:18:14.

poet from Aberystwyth. The first collection of poems have earned her

:18:15.:18:21.

a place on the short list. All of the schools we have been to so far

:18:22.:18:25.

this week, one of the recurring question has been what book inspired

:18:26.:18:30.

you when you were younger and all of the writers have really strong

:18:31.:18:35.

anecdotes about that. I think that the question of influence is very

:18:36.:18:41.

important. There are seven authors on the short list. They include

:18:42.:18:44.

three novels, to poetry books and two corrections of short stories.

:18:45.:18:49.

The writers come from America, India, England and Wales, all hoping

:18:50.:18:53.

to take the prize home from Swansea tonight. They have been five prizes

:18:54.:18:58.

presented since 2006 with previous winners coming from around the world

:18:59.:19:01.

and only once has it stayed in Wales. The first-ever award was won

:19:02.:19:08.

by Rachel who has gone on to earn a successful career as an author. The

:19:09.:19:13.

award is presented in the name of the city's most famous literary

:19:14.:19:17.

son. Next year will mark the centenary since the birth of Dylan,

:19:18.:19:22.

and he remains a strong influence on writers the world over. The name

:19:23.:19:28.

still opens doors and all seven writers who have come to Swansea

:19:29.:19:32.

have talked about the prestige of the prize and have shown real pride

:19:33.:19:37.

at being part of the programme. Dylan Tom is wrote some of his

:19:38.:19:41.

greatest work in Swansea and tonight the city will honour one of the

:19:42.:19:44.

young authors hoping to Emily his success.

:19:45.:19:49.

There are just a couple of hours to go before the winner is revealed.

:19:50.:19:53.

The panel of judges have been agonising over the short list and

:19:54.:19:57.

then over the winner and I am delighted to say the chair of the

:19:58.:20:01.

judging panel is with me now. How difficult a task was it for you to

:20:02.:20:05.

pick a winner, without revealing who that is. Not at all, actually, just

:20:06.:20:12.

for once. There was complete unanimity and I think we have got a

:20:13.:20:16.

winner who stands comparison with anybody of any age. And with the

:20:17.:20:21.

Dylan Thomas Prize to their name, what does that mean? We have had

:20:22.:20:28.

five winners of this prize already. It is exalted company to set in. It

:20:29.:20:33.

is given not in the name of a big corporate conglomerate but of one of

:20:34.:20:37.

the world's greatest young achieving writers. For somebody under the age

:20:38.:20:45.

of 32 have that is great. And you run the day festival, your life is

:20:46.:20:49.

devoted to books. How important is it that these ceremonies exist? If

:20:50.:20:58.

one more person today picks up some of these books because of these

:20:59.:21:02.

wonderful young writers being here, and not just being in Swansea

:21:03.:21:06.

tonight but being here throughout the last week, working in schools

:21:07.:21:09.

and universities, that would be fantastic. A couple of hours until

:21:10.:21:15.

the winner is revealed and they take on that check of ?30,000 and a best

:21:16.:21:25.

of Dylan Thomas Prize said. In the past few minutes, Swansea

:21:26.:21:30.

city have drawn with their Russian opponents in their Europa League

:21:31.:21:33.

match. They made a strong start, scoring within the opening ten

:21:34.:21:38.

minutes. But in the final minute, their opponents repeated history and

:21:39.:21:41.

scored just as they did in the first leg.

:21:42.:21:44.

Ospreys winger Eli Walker has been ruled out of Wales' match against

:21:45.:21:47.

South Africa on Saturday after suffering a hamstring injury in

:21:48.:21:50.

training this morning. The 21-year-old had been due to make his

:21:51.:21:53.

Test debut against the Springboks at the Millennium Stadium. He's

:21:54.:21:57.

replaced by Liam Williams from the Scarlets.

:21:58.:22:06.

We will await the results of the scan and the likelihood is that he

:22:07.:22:09.

will be available for the whole of the autumn series which is a blow to

:22:10.:22:15.

us. He has come in with good form, we just feel so desperate and gutted

:22:16.:22:23.

for the player himself. Today, Wales has become the first

:22:24.:22:27.

country in the world to have all of its archaeological treasures

:22:28.:22:29.

available on a mobile phone application. The Archwilio App holds

:22:30.:22:32.

information on more than 100,000 archaeological sites here. It's been

:22:33.:22:35.

designed by the University of South Wales. Here's Carwyn Jones.

:22:36.:22:39.

The first century AD - Roman legions press on with their conquest of

:22:40.:22:43.

Wales. In Carmarthenshire they set up base at what's now Dinefwr Park.

:22:44.:22:48.

If you go down to those woods today, you won't find any visible signs of

:22:49.:22:51.

Roman occupation. Not above ground anyway. But bring along your mobile

:22:52.:22:56.

phone and you'll find a wealth of archaeology beneath the surface.

:22:57.:23:00.

These are the remains of a huge Roman encampment unearthed by

:23:01.:23:03.

archaeologists. This mobile phone app, called Archwilio, allows you

:23:04.:23:06.

tap into the historic environment records for more than 100,000

:23:07.:23:11.

archaeological sites across Wales. It's the only technology of its kind

:23:12.:23:20.

anywhere in the world. It is the first time that a country has

:23:21.:23:25.

actually got all of the records for archaeology across the country

:23:26.:23:28.

available on a single app that you can take out and hold in your hand.

:23:29.:23:34.

No matter where you live in Wales, you will always find history on your

:23:35.:23:41.

doorstep. For this town, there are 200 separate archaeological records.

:23:42.:23:46.

Some of those are for well-known sites like the church which takes

:23:47.:23:50.

back to medieval times but the app is also telling me that over my

:23:51.:23:53.

shoulder is an iron age hill fort overlooking the town which dates

:23:54.:23:57.

back to 300 BC. The technology itself was designed by computer

:23:58.:24:00.

programmers at the University of South Wales. It took them nearly a

:24:01.:24:09.

year to get it right. Some of the challenges come from the nature of

:24:10.:24:13.

archaeology which is in the field where we can have connection, no

:24:14.:24:19.

connection, no signal, so we have had to work in online and off-line

:24:20.:24:22.

environment. Wales has a wealth of archaeology in all corners of the

:24:23.:24:26.

country. The Archwilio app, which is free for anyone to use, makes all of

:24:27.:24:30.

this history available at the touch of a button. I think it will make

:24:31.:24:36.

Wales are more attractive place to visit and it puts us at the

:24:37.:24:40.

forefront in terms of the new technologies and making links with

:24:41.:24:46.

the historic environment. The app has already attracted interest from

:24:47.:24:49.

local authorities in England who are keen to make their history

:24:50.:24:52.

interactive too. This cutting edge technology, pioneered in Wales, has

:24:53.:24:54.

finally brought all our archaeological treasures into the

:24:55.:24:56.

digital age. Let's get the weather now room

:24:57.:24:57.

Derek. Better weather for us today after

:24:58.:25:03.

yesterday's heavy rain and strong winds. A few sharp showers and some

:25:04.:25:08.

sunshine as well. There's more heavy showers to come this week but I can

:25:09.:25:11.

promise some dry weather and sunshine as well. And that goes for

:25:12.:25:18.

the weekend. This evening, scattered showers but otherwise dry. Later in

:25:19.:25:21.

the night, more showers are expected. Heavy in places.

:25:22.:25:27.

Temperatures inland falling as low as three Celsius. Here's the picture

:25:28.:25:37.

for 8.00am in the morning. A few places dry and bright but not

:25:38.:25:44.

everywhere. There will be showers around. Heavy in places too. Five

:25:45.:25:49.

Celsius in Knighton with a light breeze. So it's a case of dodging

:25:50.:25:53.

the showers tomorrow. A few heavy ones likely, perhaps with hail and

:25:54.:25:56.

thunder but dry weather and sunny spells in between. Cooler than

:25:57.:25:59.

today. Top temperatures only eight to ten Celsius with a west to

:26:00.:26:02.

north-westerly breeze. The wind gusty in the showers. Showers but

:26:03.:26:05.

some dry weather and sunshine in the north-west. Feeling chilly. Only

:26:06.:26:12.

eight Celsius in Ruthin but the wind generally light. Tomorrow evening, a

:26:13.:26:19.

mixture of dry, clear weather and scattered shower. However, later in

:26:20.:26:22.

the night a trough will bring more widespread showers and heavy rain.

:26:23.:26:25.

Saturday, a wet start first thing but the rain will clear mid morning.

:26:26.:26:29.

The rest of the day a mixture of sunshine and showers. The showers

:26:30.:26:33.

hit and miss so you may stay dry. If you're going to the rugby on

:26:34.:26:36.

Saturday, I wouldnt' rule out a shower or two. But if you're out

:26:37.:26:40.

celebrating a win for Wales in the evening it should be dry. Saturday

:26:41.:26:43.

night, dry and cold with a widespread ground frost inland.

:26:44.:26:46.

Remembrance Sunday will dawn cold but bright and crisp with sunshine.

:26:47.:26:50.

During the day, though, cloud will increase. Rain expected to reach the

:26:51.:26:54.

west in the late afternoon. This spreading across the rest of the

:26:55.:26:58.

country to give a wet and windy end to the weekend.

:26:59.:27:11.

Tonight's main news from the BBC. Wales's health watchdog says it

:27:12.:27:17.

cannot be certain that a scandal like the one which led to the deaths

:27:18.:27:21.

of hundreds of hospital patients in England is not happening here.

:27:22.:27:27.

And it has been confirmed that Cardiff Royal infirmary is one of a

:27:28.:27:30.

number of hospitals being investigated following revelations

:27:31.:27:35.

about Jimmy Savile. I'll have an update for you at

:27:36.:27:38.

8.00pm and there's more from the Wales Today newsroom at 10.25pm.

:27:39.:27:42.

From all of us here, have a good evening.

:27:43.:27:48.
