Commons has been cleared of rape and other sex charges. Goodbye. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Former Welsh secretary, | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Nigel Evans, is found not guilty of sexual offences against young men. | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
All I can say is after the last 11 months, my life will never be the | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
same. Born and raised in Swansea - we look | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
back at his career, and look at what his political future may hold. Also | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
tonight: Breaking news in Pembrokeshire - specialist officers | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
and the fire service have been sent to an incident. | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
We'll have the latest. They may be hitting the right note | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
but major report into our education system finds there's not enough | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
support for teachers. After years of smoking, Margaret | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Barnard is battling lung cancer. Still the biggest killer of all | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
cancers here. And a love note from Dylan Thomas to | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
his wife Caitlin - a million pound grant helps more of his history go | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
on display. And news coming into us tonight. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Peace in our time! It is the end of a two-year long saga. A deal for a | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
new European competition has been signed. | :01:19. | :01:30. | |
Good evening. He says he went through 11 months of hell. Tonight | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Nigel Evans walked free from court after being cleared of a string of | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
sex abuse charges, including one of rape. The former shadow Welsh | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Secretary who was born in Swansea had been accused of crimes against | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
seven men, but maintained his innocence throughout. We'll be | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
speaking to our Parliamentary Correspondent in Westminster in a | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
moment. First to Preston Crown Court where our reporter Matthew Richards | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
has been following the case. Thanks. It took the jury less than | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
five hours to reach not guilty verdicts on all nine counts, two of | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
which dated back to Nigel Evans Time as shadow Welsh secretary in 2003. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The prosecution tried to paint a picture of a senior politician | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
abusing his position by indecently and sexually assaulting young men | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
mostly in bars over a period of ten years, culminating in the rape of a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
22-year-old man at Mr Evans' home in Lancashire. But the jury didn't | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
agree and as each of their not guilty verdicts was delivered Nigel | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Evans became increasingly emotional in the dock. He always denied the | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
charges, saying the incident at his home was consensual and that other | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
alleged victims were making up their claims possibly colluding with each | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
other. He said it simply wasn't in his nature to do this. The relief | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
after what Mr Evans called 11 months of hell was clear to see. He emerged | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
from court alone this afternoon to face the media and paid tribute to | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
the support he's had from friends, family and even strangers from | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
around the world but said now was not a time for celebration. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
I have got work to do. It is the work that I've done for the last 22 | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
years. So this isn't a time for celebration or euphoria. It was said | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
that there are no winners in these cases and that is absolutely right. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
There are no winners so no celebrations. The fact is I've got | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
work to do, work that I've done for the last 32 years. -- 22 years. All | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
I can say is that after the last 11 months I've gone through, nothing | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
will ever be the same way way back again -- the same again. | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
The CPS and additional police have said they thought it was important | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
to put the charges before a jury but they respected the decision. What | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
does this mean for the future of Nigel Evans, a veteran politician | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
who has remained a popular figure among his colleagues? Our | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
parliamentary correspondent David Cornock is in Westminster. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Those verdicts have been widely welcomed at Westminster, from the | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
prime minister downwards. David Cameron said it was hard to imagine | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the relief that Nigel Evans missed a feeling. There are still plenty of | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
questions over his future but I have been taking a look at his Welsh | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
political groups. Evans and news. Nigel Evans behind | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
the counter at the business set up by his grandfather. It was here he | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
cut his teeth in business and he was taught in universities by a future | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
MP for top he was a diminutive character and I felt he was almost | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
bullied at university. He was not openly gay at the time | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
that he was not the be playing, hard drinking image of a student. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
If Nigel Evans wanted to be a Conservative MP, there were few | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
opportunities in Wales. The person has been duly elected to | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
serve as member for the said constituency, Kim Scott Howells. He | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
overcame setback to hold a seat since 1982. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Nigel Evans was one of the great party animals of the Conservative | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
party, with laughter the bar. Often seen ordering champagne and not | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
really -- and often surrounded by young researchers. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Nigel Evans spent two years as the shadow was the. We Conservatives | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
main spokesman at Westminster on Welsh affairs. His career peaked | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
with his selection as deputy speaker. His sexuality had long been | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
an open secret that it was a year after his mother 's death that he | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
decided to come out. At his house he joked about it. It was hard enough | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
being a Tory in Swansea, never mind coming out as a full is top I always | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
thought it was God's little joke, being a Tory and born in Swansea. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Tory, gay, Welsh. Come on, give me a break! He got his break as deputy | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
speaker at last year 's arrest put his career on hold. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Friends say it should never have come to court. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
There are serious questions about why this case was bought and why he | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
was perceived in the way he was. We have got to be fair and right and | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
just two accusers that we have got to be fair and right and just to the | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
defendant. Currently sitting as an independent | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
MP, Nigel Evans must have to wait to find out if he will be welcomed back | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
to the party he first joined in Swansea 40 years ago. As an innocent | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
man, Nigel Evans will expect to be readmitted into the Conservative | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
voluntary party. It may not be as straightforward as | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
that. What the Conservatives are saying tonight is that talks will | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
now happen between Nigel Evans and the local party in the Ribble Valley | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
and also with the Parliamentary party here at Westminster. Although | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
the local party has been supportive throughout this trial, there were | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
elements of Nigel Evans is private life that were laid bare, for | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
example his drinking and the revelation a complaint had been made | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
to the government whips that the whips kept quiet about the type | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
which may raise local concerns. One thing is certain, he may be | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
returning as an MP but the job as deputy speaker, those dreams have | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
still gone. A major review of the schools system | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
says the Welsh Government lacks a long-term vision for education and | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
doesn't do enough to support teachers and head teachers. The | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
report, by one of the world's leading economic organisations, the | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
OECD, also says major changes have been forced through too quickly. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Here's our Education Correspondent, Arwyn Jones. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
What we have today is a snapshot. How well do in schools teach our | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
children and how does the Welsh government help our teachers? | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Following disappointing results in Pisa tests four years ago, sat by | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
half a million pupils across the world, the Welsh government | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
commissioned the OECD to look at other schools. It has now been well | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
over a year since the Welsh government commission that report | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
from the OECD and during that time, they have spoken to teachers and | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
teachers and pupils, trying to find out exactly how our schools operate | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
full of they have now reported back to the Welsh government and the | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
picture now emerging of a school system with room for improvement. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Two years ago, a number of new initiatives were introduced by the | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
former education minister. People are now tested every year and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
schools placed into bands full top there is a new literacy and numeracy | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
framework in an attempt to raise performance. Teaching unions and | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
opposition parties had complained about the lack of time to introduce | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
so many changes all at once and today's report agrees. The pace of | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
form has been too high. Schools, leaders and teachers, the whole | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
system, it takes time to embed a reform and to be able to live on it. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
The pace of reform has been so high that there could be reformed | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
fatigue. Heads across Wales a different man to have made it | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
difficult to concentrate on teaching. Irfan Naseer I think it | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
has been constant and we are not sure where we are going at times. | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
Irfan Naseer -- It is hard to move at the pace that was government want | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
us to. The report paints a picture of schools unable to report. It says | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
there is a lack of planning to develop strong school leaders and | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
training and career progression policies are underdeveloped. A song | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
of solidarity for this class in Tredegar today that is the Welsh | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
government standing by teachers when it comes to training? It has | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
recently started to fund courses to develop their leadership potential. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
It has helped me professionally and personally. It has proved my | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
teaching standards and allowed me to grapple the things we need a teacher | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
to develop in the classroom to make outstanding lessons. Personally, it | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
has allowed me to develop as a manager ready for the next career | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
level step. That will be music to the ears of | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
teachers across Wales and the minister says there will be further | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
announcements on supporting teachers before the summer. | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
Arwyn Jones has spoken to the Education Minister Huw Lewis. He put | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
it to him that the OECD report said the Welsh government had left | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
schools behind, by trying to do too much too soon. I think the report is | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
actually more subtle than that in what is telling us. It says there is | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
a risk of change and something we need to guard against. Have the | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
forefront of my mind that every academic year that goes by without | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
us having the highest standards and that the cohort of young people is | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
not getting the best. But the lead author of the report has been | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
telling us that the Welsh government have been pushing ahead to quickly | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
and not taking the profession with them. Will you be taking your foot | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
off the accelerator? This report is very valuable and I welcome the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
message. We need to digest those messages. It is right that we need | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
to guard against the risk... But he said you are going to quickly and at | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
the moment you are going to quickly. I am putting the report. I am | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
quoting the author. That is something I need to bear in mind and | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
we also need to address the issue around the support and training and | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
professional development of the workforce of teachers. The teaching | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
unions have been saying for a long time there is a lack of clear career | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
progression and continuing development for teachers which is so | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
important to get that leadership right. They say they have been | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
largely ignored. The OECD says pretty much the same thing. I've | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
been saying this for months. With no action. These things take time for | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
this is a convex system and when we take those announcements, we will | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
have everything in place to make it work, including the resources. It is | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
too dependent on an individual school getting it together and | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
pendant on a headteacher to motivate staff. That doesn't that come from | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
you as the education minister? Shouldn't it be the worst government | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
driving these changes, rather than leaving it to headteachers. | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
Headteachers are critical in the system and they need to understand | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
how to shepherd their staff, to leave them in terms of what they | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
need is a school. What I can make children of is that we have a level | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
playing field for all teaching professionals out there in terms of | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
what's available and what we expect their management to deliver for | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
them. To our breaking news and fire crews | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
and specialist officers are at the scene of the incident in the village | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
of Western in Haverfordwest. And ambience was called to a property on | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
the outskirts of the village. Local people say a road out of the village | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
has been closed by police. One source says a large number of police | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
are in the area. Our reporter has just got to be seen and is on the | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
telephone. I am on the outskirts of the police cordon. The road from the | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
village have been shut since about lunch time by Dyfed Powys Police and | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
there is a search at the property of the outskirts of Wiston. A man was | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
found with nonlife threatening injuries this morning and taken to | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Morriston Hospital. Dyfed Powys Police were subsequently called to | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
this property and they have been working with what they describe as | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
partner agencies investigating this incident. I've been told by a number | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
of local people that on disposal officers are on the scene but Dyfed | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Powys Police won't confirm that at the moment. Certainly, the search | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
and the investigation is continuing this evening and a number of offices | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
at this property on the outskirts of this rule village five or six miles | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
from Haverfordwest this evening. We will bring you more on this story | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
if we get it. Still to come in tonight's | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
programme: A love note from Dylan Thomas to his wife Caitlin - a | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
million pound grant helps more of his history go on display. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
Lung cancer continues to kill more people in Wales than any other type | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
of cancer, according to new figures. Almost 1,900 people died of the | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
disease in 2012 and though smoking is one of the biggest causes, income | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
can also play a big role. Jenny Rees reports. | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
She has lost count of how many toys she has knitted for charity but in | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
the last six years, they have helped Margaret and her husband raise | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
nearly ?40,000 for the British Lung foundation. The 70-year-old has | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
chronic obstructive armoury disease but in February, a routine scan | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
showed cancer. Absolutely devastated. It is not a | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
nice thing to be told that you have, especially when it can't be treated. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
It can't be too, it can only be with. That's what life is so I am | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
living in three-month sound bites, a scan and then off we go. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Lung cancer accounts for more than a fifth of cancer deaths and the | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
number of women dying of the illness has risen by over a third over the | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
past case. Smoking accounts for 22% of cancer deaths but your postcode, | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
income and lifestyle could also have a bearing full top We are seeing big | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
differences between the less well-off areas of Wales and the more | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
well off. There is a 20% difference in the rate of cancer between the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
most deprived and least deprived areas of Wales. 23% of people in | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
Wales smoke. That figure jumped to more than 40% in deprived areas. The | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
most government aims to see that reduced to 16% by 2020. It would be | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
wrong to think all lung cancers are smoking-related. We are seeing more | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
patients diagnosed with the disease who have never smoked. There are | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
courses like environmental pollution, which play an important | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
role as well for top Margaret knows her cancer will not be curate and | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
stays focused on fundraising with their annual abseil for charity but | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
today's report shows that survival rates for cancer are generally | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
improving. Police are investigating the sudden death of a 15-year-old | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
boy in Swansea. Officers were called to an area near Olchfa Comprehensive | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
School in Sketty, at half past nine this morning. The death of the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
teenager, who was a pupil there, is being treated as unexplained. The | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
school says it's shocked and saddened, and will close tomorrow | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
afternoon as a mark of respect. The family of John McBrien from | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Holywell in Flintshire who was one of the football fans who died in the | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Hillsborough disaster has tribute to him. At the new inquests into the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
deaths his mother said he was charismatic, talented and modest. 96 | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
fans died at Sheffield Wednesday's ground during an FA Cup semi final | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
A public inquiry's to be held into the application to build a racing | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
circuit on a mountainside above Ebbw Vale. The developers behind The | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Circuit of Wales is promising it'll create thousands of jobs and bring | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
world-class Moto GP racing to the area. However there's been | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
opposition from environmentalists. The Planning Inspectorate will now | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
hold a four day inquiry in June. Sport now and some big news tonight. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Breaking sports news. It has been years in the making but | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
tonight European peace has broken out. The end of a two-year long saga | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
but tonight finally a conclusion in the future of European rugby. Gareth | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
Lewis has lived and breathed this story for months. Tonight a deal. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
What do we know? It has been years for some people. Exactly as we | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
reported. The Heineken Cup is going to be replaced by the European | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
champions cup. It will be harder for Welsh teams to qualify, we only have | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
one team next season four is top it doesn't say it specifically but the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
understanding has always been that this will be worth ?1 million extra | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
each season for them. They will be happy with that. There was a | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
translation problem with the Italian version of the document. That has | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
held it up but now they have signed the heads of agreement, the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
preliminary legal document. The lawyers will go and sign it up and | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
make it proper but this is the new European cup for next. It is an | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
eight year agreement so it means 2022 we can do this all again. It | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
will be an eight year agreement. I need to ask about the TV deal at the | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
centre of this. Where will fans be able to watch it? Sky had the deal | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
for the Heineken Cup and BT signed with England clubs which is a rival | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
tournament. They don't like you to the -- they don't like each other | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
very much but they are being magnetic. It has long been reported | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
they will share broadcasting. For the next season at least, if you | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
have got sky, you will be able to watch the European cup. We still | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
have things to discuss between the regions and the WRU 's Mac yes, they | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
will argue about cash in Wales but the regions will now get their money | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
from ERC, the old tournament, which was withheld because of this | :21:51. | :21:51. | |
difficulty. I am relieved! Wales' number one | :21:52. | :22:05. | |
golfer, Jamie Donaldson is off to a steady start at the US Masters. The | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
38-year-old says he's never been in better shape and arrives in Augusta | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
having been named European Golfer of the month. Fellow Welshman, and 1991 | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
winner Ian Woosnam, finished the day four over. | :22:24. | :22:47. | |
20 more on that later. A rarely-seen love letter, written by Dylan Thomas | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
to his wife, will go on display as part of a million pound | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
refurbishment of the Centre in Swansea devoted to his life. The | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
grant will pay for a new exhibition, which will open in time for the | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
centenary of the poet's birth in October. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
It's a tiny token of affection from the pen of one of our greatest | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
writers. Dylan Thomas used the back of a bank paying-in slip to send the | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
note to his wife, flattering her with his love and apologising for | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
being late posting her some cheques. It's an example of the hundreds of | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
objects kept by the Dylan Thomas Centre which can finally go on show, | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
now that the exhibition's set to expand. It will be redeveloped and | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
we will put more items on display so it will be more interactive with | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
layers of information to suit people of all ages. We will also form a | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
travelling exhibition, to tour libraries in Wales. | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
The Dylan Thomas Centre opened 20 years ago, and it's an important | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
focus for the study of his life, in the city where he was born. It will | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
also pay for a loan for some of his notebooks which include early drafts | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
of his work. This is a great example of an | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
example of where you can take a poet with a international reputation but | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
also in very distinctive of his home nation and somebody whose works are | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
an intrinsic part of our national consciousness. This will be a worthy | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
centre to perpetuate his legacy and display a wide variety of objects. | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
Work will get underway and by October the exhibition will be | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
bigger and brighter. This is a mock-up of his famous boathouse. For | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
his descendants, a chance to increase people 's knowledge of a | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
man many people think they know. What I really hope from the | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
exhibition is that it is going to show lots of different | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
interpretations of my grandfather so people can look round and get a feel | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
for what my grandfather was like from looking at descriptions and | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
hearing about him from different points of view. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
As Wales and the world celebrate Dylan Thomas's centenary this year, | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
they will now have a venue fit to hold the celebrations for the poets | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
famous birthday. Time for the weather now - Derek's here. A nice | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
few days in store. Keep sunglasses handy. There's more | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
dry weather to come over the next few days. Very little rain expected. | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
Just a few spots and still a bit chilly at night. Sunday the sunniest | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
day of the weekend. This evening a weak cold front will move | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
southeastwards bringing a little rain. Turning lighter and dying out. | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
A dry end to the night with one or two mist and fog patches forming. | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
The lowest temperature three Celsius with ground frost in a few rural | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
areas. Tomorrow's chart shows a ridge of high pressure extending | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
from the Azores across Wales and that means settled weather. So | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
here's the picture for eight in the morning. Nice and dry. A bit misty | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
in places first thing but that will soon disappear. Some patchy cloud | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
and sunshine with just a light breeze. So, the weather in good | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
shape tomorrow. Dry with more sunshine than today. A few cumulus | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
as well with just the odd isolated light shower. The best of the | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
sunshine on many coasts. Temperatures ten to 13C and in the | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
sunshine and light winds it will feel pleasant. On the west coast | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
tomorrow. Dry with plenty of sunshine. 11 Celsius in Aberdovey. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Tomorrow night dry. The sky clear for a while so turning chilly with | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
some ground frost but clouding over after midnight. Saturday mostly | :26:22. | :26:34. | |
cloudy. Probably little if any sunshine. More dry weather but a few | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
spots of light rain or drizzle likely in the afternoon and evening, | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
mainly in Snowdonia. The RHS Flower Show starts tomorrow in Cardiff and | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
it's looking dry. Sunday the sunniest day with a high of 13. And | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
fine in Llanelli for the Great Welsh Marathon on Sunday. Sunshine, low | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
humidity and light winds. Sunday the best day of the weekend. Next week, | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
a dry start but the signs it will turn more unsettled by the middle of | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
the week. The wind picking-up and turning colder. A reminder of the | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
