Good evening. Some breaking news tonight. In the past hour, a man

:00:11.:00:15.

from Dolgellau has been airlifted to hospital with what are believed to

:00:16.:00:19.

be serious leg injuries. It follows reports that explosives have been

:00:20.:00:23.

detonated. The police, North Wales Fire and Rescue and ambulance

:00:24.:00:26.

services are working at the scene, believed to be a private house in

:00:27.:00:30.

the town. We'll bring you more on that story when we have it.

:00:31.:00:34.

In other news, Wales could receive more money from the Treasury under a

:00:35.:00:37.

Labour UK government, according to the Shadow Scottish Secretary.

:00:38.:00:39.

Margaret Curran said the formula for funding the devolved nations

:00:40.:00:44.

wouldn't change. But she said Labour would recognise, Wales' "claim to

:00:45.:00:48.

extra resources". Daniel Davies reports.

:00:49.:00:56.

It determines how much Wales has to spend on public services, including

:00:57.:01:01.

schools and hospitals. Known as the Barnett Formula, it has been around

:01:02.:01:06.

since the 1970s, proof according to some but it has stood the test of

:01:07.:01:12.

time. But Labour ministers in Cardiff Bay disagree, saying the

:01:13.:01:14.

system short-changes the Welsh Government, and they want a new one.

:01:15.:01:18.

On the campaign trail, Ed Miliband said a Labour UK government would

:01:19.:01:23.

keep the Barnett formula, which sets the Scottish budget as well. Mr

:01:24.:01:27.

Miliband also said Labour would look at claims Wales loses out. One of

:01:28.:01:32.

his Shadow Cabinet members, campaigning against Scottish

:01:33.:01:35.

independence, said Labour recognises there is as Pacific set of funding

:01:36.:01:41.

issues in Wales. Does that mean more funding for devolved services in

:01:42.:01:46.

Wales? I think that looks the more funding in the future. Ed Miliband

:01:47.:01:52.

has recognised the very specific issue in relation to Wales, not to

:01:53.:01:55.

resolve that at the expense of Scotland as some may claim, to make

:01:56.:02:04.

sure Welsh issues are addressed. The Sunday Herald became the first paper

:02:05.:02:07.

to called for a yes vote in the independence referendum. Funding is

:02:08.:02:12.

a big part of the debate. If Ed Miliband gets to Downing Street, he

:02:13.:02:16.

will not change things for Scotland. The aim is to keep things as they

:02:17.:02:19.

are in Scotland while also satisfying Welsh Labour ministers

:02:20.:02:22.

who want what they called their funding.

:02:23.:02:24.

A 42-year-old man from the Port Talbot area has been arrested in

:02:25.:02:27.

connection with allegations of 'malicious communication' following

:02:28.:02:30.

the death of the teacher Ann Maguire at a school in Leeds. Mrs Maguire

:02:31.:02:33.

died after suffering multiple stab wounds on Monday. A 15-year-old boy

:02:34.:02:37.

has been charged with her murder. The Chair of Governors at a school

:02:38.:02:41.

in the Ebbw Valley at the centre of an alleged murder plot says he's

:02:42.:02:44.

proud of the way staff reacted when concerns were first raised. Police

:02:45.:02:47.

were called to Cwmcarn High school on Thursday to investigate the

:02:48.:02:52.

behaviour of two pupils. Maths teacher Alison Cray, who's

:02:53.:02:55.

understood to have been the intended target, has also praised the school.

:02:56.:03:02.

The Cardiff City Supporters Trust is asking club owner Vincent Tan to

:03:03.:03:05.

switch the team's colours back from red to blue to help restore what it

:03:06.:03:08.

calls the 'severely damaged relationship' between the club and

:03:09.:03:12.

fans. Cardiff were relegated from the Premier League yesterday after

:03:13.:03:21.

only one season in the top flight. One way of saying the supporters, we

:03:22.:03:25.

value you, would be for a Vincent Tan and the club to say we're

:03:26.:03:28.

changing the blue as soon as possible. That is what the vast

:03:29.:03:32.

majority of supporters want, one way of making up for a really

:03:33.:03:34.

disappointing season. Rugby and Pontypridd have won the

:03:35.:03:38.

Swalec Cup for the third time in four years. This afternoon they beat

:03:39.:03:41.

Cross Keys 21-8 at the Millennium Stadium. Centre Gavin Dacey scored

:03:42.:03:44.

the second of their two tries. Ponty are still on course to complete the

:03:45.:03:48.

League and Cup double for the second season in a row.

:03:49.:03:50.

Cricket and Glamorgan's bowlers enjoyed a good day as they started

:03:51.:03:53.

their Championship match against Worcestershire. They reduced the

:03:54.:03:57.

visitors to 232-9 at the close. Graham Wagg and Dean Cosker have

:03:58.:04:03.

four wickets each. The Bank Holiday weather forecast

:04:04.:04:04.

now with Sue Charles. The Bank Holiday weather forecast

:04:05.:04:09.

Good evening. It has been a largely dry weekend but the satellite shows

:04:10.:04:13.

most sunshine further south and east. Thicker cloud made it hazy

:04:14.:04:19.

across North and West Wales. After a fine start tomorrow, rain returns

:04:20.:04:23.

later in the day. Tonight stays largely dry and clear, frost free,

:04:24.:04:27.

but it could turn chilly in rural mid Wales. Tomorrow starts trying

:04:28.:04:32.

with sunny spells but cloud will thicken from the West, patchy rain

:04:33.:04:36.

spreading in later. Warm southerly air, highs of 15 Celsius along the

:04:37.:04:43.

north coast tomorrow. Low pressure moving in from the Atlantic then, it

:04:44.:04:47.

will push the hide it has been keeping things settled out towards

:04:48.:04:51.

eastern Europe. Sunshine and showers on Tuesday and more unsettled

:04:52.:04:55.

midweek. Windy with bright spells and some showers.

:04:56.:04:57.

And that's Wales Today. Enjoy the Bank Holiday. Goodnight.
