Good evening. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has accused | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, of cynically trying to reinvent | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
history, in the row over who pays for the electrification of the South | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Wales Valleys rail network. He was speaking at the Welsh Liberal | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Democrats' annual conference in Newport. Here's our Political Editor | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Nick Servini. Handshakes all round for Nick Clegg, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
who was among friends today in Newport. But there was no friendly | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
bridge building with the Welsh Government in the row over the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
multi-million pound bill to electrify the Valleys network. The | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
First Minister says the UK government is going back on an | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
earlier commitment to foot the bill. Nick Clegg disagrees. I really do | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
think it is rather cynical of the First Minister now to turn around | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
and somehow claim that promises were made to cover the expense of that | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
electrification. It was clearly, unambiguously, and explicitly stated | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
that this would be something where the UK Government would play a role, | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
not least in the electrification of the main line, but that the finance | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
of the Valley lines would be a devolved matter. When he addressed | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
the party, the centrepiece of his speech was a pledge to support the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
recommendations of the Silk Commission to transfer from | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Westminster to Cardiff Bay powers over policing and some parts of | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
criminal justice. Just as the Silk Commission has recommended, I want | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
us to fight the next election proposing that we take on the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
recommendations of the Silk Commission to give you the tools you | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
need to get on with the job. As he tries to stop disaffected Lib Dem | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
voters supporting Labour, Nick Clegg has pushed safe Lib Dem themes - | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
saving Europe, raising the income tax threshold and, of course, giving | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
more powers to the Welsh Government. -- staying in Europe. With the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
European and general elections on the horizon, party activists admit | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
the fact that they're now in government could make campaigning | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
tough. It's a hundred years since we've had mid-term blues to worry | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
about. It hasn't made it easy, to be honest. When I go door-knocking | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
people say, "You're in coalition with the Tories". The party knows | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
its part in a coalition with the Tories may make it unpopular with | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
some. Its job in Newport this weekend is to persuade voters it's | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
made a positive difference. Around 200 people took part in a | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
march in Cardiff this afternoon in protest against the so called | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
"bedroom tax", one year after it was introduced. Social-housing tenants | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
who have spare bedrooms have seen their housing-benefit payments cut. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
The protesters included MPs, assembly members and senior clergy. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
The UK Government says the new system is fairer. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
The MP for Llanelli has raised concerns over plans to build a plant | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
in Cwmgwili that will dispose of household waste using very high | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
temperatures. Nia Griffith says people who live near the proposed | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
site in Carmarthenshire are worried about possible emissions. But the | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
developer, Clean Power Properties, says it's not proposing an | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
incinerator but a plant which uses a process called pyrolysis. This | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
breaks down waste material using high temperatures. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Football - and it's been another disappointing day for our Premier | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
League clubs. Cardiff City's fight for survival seems even more | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
desperate. They lost 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace. Swansea City lost | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
1-0 away to Hull, leaving them six points above the relegation zone. In | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
League Two, Newport drew 1-1 away to Chesterfield. In the Conference, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Wrexham beat Macclesfield 1-0. There was a disappointing result in | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the Grand National for the race favourite Teeforthree, trained by | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Rebecca Curtis in Pembrokeshire. He fell at the 15th fence but there's | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
no report of an injury. With Oxford and Cambridge due to | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
battle it out tomorrow, students from Cardiff and Swansea competed in | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the ninth Welsh Varsity Boat Race on the River Taff in Cardiff today. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
Swansea were the winners by half a length. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
The weather forecast now, with Rhian Haf. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Hello there. We've all had some patchy rain today and that will | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
continue this evening. Pushing in from the West, some heavy bursts on | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
high ground in Snowdonia and on the Brecon Beacons. But a mild night - | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
11 and 12 Celsius across the country. The bad news is, there's | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
more persistent rain on the way. Tomorrow will be a wet and windy | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
affair but rain will clear through the afternoon. We will have some | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
sunshine and temperatures reaching 15 Celsius in Rhyl. But Monday will | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
bring more rain before high pressure builds and that will mean dry and | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
fine weather midweek. That's Wales Today. We'll be back at | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
ten to seven tomorrow. Have a good evening. Goodbye. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Good evening. We may have got to 18 Celsius today in parts of East | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
Anglia but it was the bright spot in an otherwise cloudy day and it is | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
the cloud that will dominate tonight, bringing splashes of rain | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
and dryer moments as well particularly in the north-east of | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
Scotland but | :05:19. | :05:19. |
