building society. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines. A woman is arrested on

:00:00.:00:08.

suspicion of attempted murder after two children are found with knife

:00:09.:00:17.

wounds in Newport. When I got up and saw the

:00:18.:00:21.

pandemonium, and the next thing I saw was then running out with these

:00:22.:00:26.

two children. And putting them in separate ambulances.

:00:27.:00:40.

As an inmate at Prescoed prison is sentenced for drug trafficking - a

:00:41.:00:43.

judge says it's staggering Matthew Roberts was allowed to use a mobile

:00:44.:00:46.

phone. Caring for patients with cancer - a new measure of how the

:00:47.:00:56.

NHS performs will be trialled. Garry Monk will definitely have his full

:00:57.:01:00.

now. He's confirmed as Swansea City's new manager.

:01:01.:01:07.

He has been there a while, he knows what to do. I suppose we have to

:01:08.:01:12.

give him a chance. He has kept us in the division. Good luck to him. And

:01:13.:01:17.

best known for his novel The Virgin Soldier, we remember Newport writer

:01:18.:01:20.

Leslie Thomas, who's died at the age of 83.

:01:21.:01:27.

Good evening. A woman from Newport has been arrested on suspicion of

:01:28.:01:30.

the attempted murder of two children. A seven-year-old boy and a

:01:31.:01:33.

16-month-old baby girl were taken to hospital with knife wounds following

:01:34.:01:39.

an incident this morning. Our reporter Jordan Davies is in Newport

:01:40.:01:44.

for us. Officers have been here all day

:01:45.:01:48.

searching the top flop flat behind me. They've been speaking to

:01:49.:01:52.

residents, taking names and addresses. So they can speak to them

:01:53.:01:59.

in the future. And I've been speaking to neighbours, who have

:02:00.:02:03.

told me the woman arrested is the mother of the injured children. Now

:02:04.:02:09.

while all this is happening, this cordon will stay up. If nothing

:02:10.:02:13.

else, to reassure people, after this terrible incident.

:02:14.:02:14.

Forensics officers letting themselves in to a flat, but unsure

:02:15.:02:18.

of what they may find. Their job, to try and piece together the chain of

:02:19.:02:24.

events. That led to a 27-year-old woman being arrested on suspicion of

:02:25.:02:27.

the attempted murder of two children. A seven-year-old boy and

:02:28.:02:29.

16-month-old baby girl both suffered knife wounds in the incident. And a

:02:30.:02:34.

knife was removed from the scene early on. Along with other items. I

:02:35.:02:42.

went straight out of the back garden to look and there were police cars,

:02:43.:02:50.

CAD, ambulances, that's all I could see -- CID. There were loads here.

:02:51.:02:53.

And then those two young children being carried out. And putting

:02:54.:02:59.

separate ambulances. The way they were running out with them, it was

:03:00.:03:05.

frightening. They just ran out with the children wrapped up in blankets.

:03:06.:03:08.

Neighbours say the woman arrested is the mother of the children. A

:03:09.:03:11.

connection not confirmed by the police. One of your neighbours saw a

:03:12.:03:19.

young woman? A young woman being walked along here in a dressing

:03:20.:03:23.

gown, apparently her hands were behind her back. She was put into a

:03:24.:03:26.

police car. The children are now being treated in the Royal Gwent,

:03:27.:03:30.

where they're said to be in a stable condition.

:03:31.:03:32.

This block is mainly made up of residential flats for the elderly.

:03:33.:03:35.

Neighbours say the young woman and the children moved here recently.

:03:36.:03:40.

And the children would often be seen playing out the front. This is a

:03:41.:03:47.

tragic but isolated incident and I would like to reassure residents of

:03:48.:03:51.

Newport that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this

:03:52.:03:56.

case. I have put additional offices in the area to support local

:03:57.:04:01.

communities and our thoughts and wishes are with the family of the

:04:02.:04:04.

children at this difficult time. Officers will now continue to search

:04:05.:04:07.

the flat and find out more about those involved. To determine, why

:04:08.:04:15.

and how, this happened. And as we've heard, police say they

:04:16.:04:18.

aren't looking for anyone else in connection with this at the moment.

:04:19.:04:21.

We have had an update. The 27-year-old woman who was being

:04:22.:04:25.

treated for knife wounds has now been released and Gwent police say

:04:26.:04:28.

they will speak to her as soon as her health permits.

:04:29.:04:35.

New ways of measuring how the NHS in Wales performs when it comes to

:04:36.:04:38.

caring for patients with cancer will be trialled across the country. It

:04:39.:04:41.

follows concerns that the targets used at the moment don't properly

:04:42.:04:44.

reflect the clinical results for patients. But opposition parties

:04:45.:04:46.

have raised questions about the Welsh Government's plans. Our health

:04:47.:04:57.

correspondent Owain Clarke has more. Kath Jones was told she had breast

:04:58.:05:02.

cancer in January last year. It was devastating news and like others in

:05:03.:05:05.

a similar situation, she clung on she would get the best treatment as

:05:06.:05:11.

quickly as possible. Actually getting myself heard, being listened

:05:12.:05:13.

to and getting referred to the correct place, that is what I found

:05:14.:05:18.

to be the struggle. Once I was referred, everything moved very

:05:19.:05:21.

quickly and the system was there in place. I am grateful that happened

:05:22.:05:26.

for me. Sadly there are people that does not happen for. She has now got

:05:27.:05:33.

her life back on track but how does the NHS measure whether or not the

:05:34.:05:39.

cancer care provides -- it provides is up to scratch across the board?

:05:40.:05:44.

Cancer care such as that provided here in Cardiff is judged against

:05:45.:05:49.

two key targets. The patient is referred to a specialist eye AGP,

:05:50.:05:58.

the 95% of confirmed cases should start treatment within 62 days. That

:05:59.:06:01.

target has not been met for several years. A second target involves

:06:02.:06:07.

patient had had gone to hospital feeling ill but not suspected cancer

:06:08.:06:10.

but have later been diagnosed with the disease. 90 ascent of those

:06:11.:06:14.

patients should receive treatment within 31 days. That target was met

:06:15.:06:20.

in Wales in February. But according to this specialist, those targets

:06:21.:06:28.

give a skewed picture? It is overly complex and treat all patients as if

:06:29.:06:31.

they are the same. We know that some patients were diagnosed with

:06:32.:06:36.

emergency conditions, they need treatment within 24 hours, not 62

:06:37.:06:44.

days. In the new system, waiting time for all cancer patients in

:06:45.:06:47.

Wales will be measured together. It is hoped that eventually for the

:06:48.:06:50.

very first time it will be possible for patients to compare typical,

:06:51.:06:55.

maximum and minimum waiting times across Wales for different types of

:06:56.:07:00.

cancer. But changes like this are not new. In March, the Welsh

:07:01.:07:03.

Government announced new targets for the ambulance service and Accident

:07:04.:07:08.

and Emergency departments. And then like now, in the Calder of Cardiff

:07:09.:07:13.

Bay, opposition parties have questioned the motives of the Welsh

:07:14.:07:16.

Government, arguing this is another attempt to change the goalposts

:07:17.:07:21.

after a dismal record in trying to hit the traditional targets. The new

:07:22.:07:27.

targets will be tested in the coming months by six of Wales' health

:07:28.:07:33.

boards. And for patients, the key question is, not how good the

:07:34.:07:35.

targets are but whether or not they lead to better care for so many

:07:36.:07:43.

people. Checks on slogans used by political

:07:44.:07:47.

parties are to be tightened after the name of the murdered soldier Lee

:07:48.:07:50.

Rigby was allowed onto ballots for this month's European Elections in

:07:51.:07:53.

Wales. Britain First's slogan "Remember Lee Rigby" will appear

:07:54.:07:55.

where they are fielding candidates. An Electoral Commission official has

:07:56.:08:02.

resigned over the matter. A 16-year-old boy from Cardiff has

:08:03.:08:05.

been arrested over alleged offensive messages made on social media about

:08:06.:08:09.

the death of Leeds teacher Ann Maguire. He's been bailed pending

:08:10.:08:12.

psychiatric assessment. A judge has described the way

:08:13.:08:15.

serving prisoners were able use mobile phones to run drug operations

:08:16.:08:18.

from behind bars as staggering. Seven men were today sentenced to a

:08:19.:08:22.

total of more than 30 years for their part in conspiring to traffic

:08:23.:08:25.

cocaine and mephedrone into south Wales. Cemlyn Davies was in court.

:08:26.:08:36.

Five men who admitted to supplying cocaine in the South Wales area

:08:37.:08:40.

between October 2012 and April 2014. Today they were sentenced. The

:08:41.:08:52.

Class A drug was brought from Bristol and delivered either to

:08:53.:08:55.

Pugh's home address in Port Talbot or to his parents house nearby. The

:08:56.:09:00.

deliveries were organised by Mathew Roberts who was an inmate first at

:09:01.:09:03.

HMP Leyhill in Gloucestershire and then at Prescoed in Monmouthshire.

:09:04.:09:11.

They're both open prisons. The court heard he was given a mobile phone to

:09:12.:09:15.

use on temporary release but he was found to be using several handsets

:09:16.:09:18.

to arrange the drug trafficking. Open prisons are already under

:09:19.:09:21.

scrutiny following the escape of Michael Wheatley from a low security

:09:22.:09:25.

jail in Kent. The so called skull cracker has now been found. Today's

:09:26.:09:30.

case at Swansea Crown Court has raised further concerns about the

:09:31.:09:39.

way open prisons are run. It is unacceptable that people in an open

:09:40.:09:43.

prison are able to carry out a large drug dealing operation and the

:09:44.:09:46.

government are looking into this at the moment. There has been a problem

:09:47.:09:49.

with open prisons for years and there always will be problems

:09:50.:09:56.

because the Ark a kind of high for a house. -- halfway house. Two other

:09:57.:10:03.

men, Richard Saltmarsh and Andrew Clay, were also sentenced today for

:10:04.:10:06.

conspiring to supply mephedrone, or meow meow, to be distributed in

:10:07.:10:09.

south Wales. Saltmarsh was an inmate at a category b prison in

:10:10.:10:13.

Warwickshire at the time and he was using three mobile phones illegally

:10:14.:10:16.

to make deals with Mathew Roberts and others from behind bars. The

:10:17.:10:19.

judge said the way he was able to access the phones was staggering and

:10:20.:10:23.

beggars belief. Sentencing the seven men to a total of more than 30 years

:10:24.:10:27.

in prison for their part in the conspiracies the judge, his honour

:10:28.:10:30.

Peter Heywood said drug trafficking is a significant and acute problem

:10:31.:10:35.

in south Wales. And he praised the police for bringing the gang to

:10:36.:10:37.

justice. A head teacher has stepped aside

:10:38.:10:40.

from his post temporarily, during an investigation by governors and

:10:41.:10:42.

Swansea council. Ysgol Gyfun Bryn Tawe said that following a

:10:43.:10:45.

complaint, the deputy head would be managing the school for the time

:10:46.:10:49.

being. The action was taken after a film was posted on social media

:10:50.:10:52.

sites by pupils from the Welsh language secondary.

:10:53.:10:55.

The head of BBC Cymru Wales says he's concerned about a drop of a

:10:56.:10:59.

sixth in the number of people watching S4C's evening programmes.

:11:00.:11:01.

Rhodri Talfan Davies said audiences for peak-time programmes on the

:11:02.:11:04.

Welsh language channel could shrink even further. S4C says focussing on

:11:05.:11:09.

one performance measure created an incomplete picture and his comments

:11:10.:11:11.

have been noted by supporters concerned about the independence of

:11:12.:11:16.

the broadcaster. Over now to arm arts and media

:11:17.:11:21.

correspondent. The BBC makes hundreds of hours of

:11:22.:11:25.

programmes every year for S4C, including the soap opera Pobol y Cwm

:11:26.:11:28.

and many of them appear in the evening peak-time slot. The vast

:11:29.:11:31.

majority of the channel's funding comes from the BBC licence fee. ?76

:11:32.:11:35.

million this year, but the Welsh language channel is supposed to

:11:36.:11:37.

remain operationally and editorially independent. So Rhodri Talfan Davies

:11:38.:11:41.

calling a 17% drop in viewers tuning into that slot over the past two

:11:42.:11:45.

years a real worry has exposed the sensitivities that still exist

:11:46.:11:53.

between the two broadcasters. It is a concern to me if a senior BBC

:11:54.:12:01.

executive is commenting on what seems like a managerial decision at

:12:02.:12:06.

S4C, even if it is not an actual attempt to intervene. You have to be

:12:07.:12:10.

hugely careful there is not a perception that the BBC is seeking

:12:11.:12:13.

to intervene. Neither broadcaster was available to speak to me today,

:12:14.:12:16.

but Ian Jones, S4C's chief executive, said in a statement that

:12:17.:12:19.

he regularly discusses the falling ratings of peak-time programmes with

:12:20.:12:22.

the BBC, not least because BBC programmes are often being shown at

:12:23.:12:28.

that time of day. BBC Wales said it was keen to tackle this shared

:12:29.:12:32.

issue. While peak-time audiences have fallen lately, S4C has been

:12:33.:12:35.

investing in new ways of watching the channel. Its most recent figures

:12:36.:12:41.

show programmes were accessed almost three million times on its website,

:12:42.:12:44.

and some in the industry say S4C's audience is choosing to watch a lot

:12:45.:12:56.

more online. Any collapse in viewing figures of course is a concern to

:12:57.:13:00.

anybody but what one has to bear in mind is how these figures have been

:13:01.:13:03.

got at in the first place. We have to remember that people watch

:13:04.:13:07.

television not just on television any more. They watch it on their

:13:08.:13:16.

laptops and iPads. It is likely to see to -- slightly disingenuous to

:13:17.:13:19.

say that the figures are down when you have only looking at one source

:13:20.:13:23.

of figures. But Rhodri Talfan Davies said the extent of the decline at

:13:24.:13:26.

S4C was greater than the trend across the industry, so the

:13:27.:13:29.

channel's shrinking audience is not down to the internet alone.

:13:30.:13:32.

Still to come tonight. Campaigners fight against a ten mile path of

:13:33.:13:36.

pylons to connect wind farms in Denbighshire to the national grid.

:13:37.:13:45.

It's a big tourist destination and a picture postcard scene, but for the

:13:46.:13:49.

past 20 years, Llyn Padarn at the foot of Snowdon has also been the

:13:50.:13:52.

scene for a legal battle about pollution. But today, the legal

:13:53.:13:56.

representatives on behalf of the local anglers who use the lake are

:13:57.:14:00.

claiming a victory. Iolo ap Dafydd is there for us this evening.

:14:01.:14:12.

Good evening. Yes, it is one of the most stunning views in Wales and

:14:13.:14:16.

Snowdon, by the way, is up there in the clouds. There have been claims

:14:17.:14:21.

and counterclaims about elution -- pollution. Natural Resources Wales

:14:22.:14:27.

would argue that it has not failed the environment, that it is looking

:14:28.:14:32.

after the environment, but it will now concede to look at this

:14:33.:14:38.

investigation once more and we'll do that until as far back as 2007. Dwr

:14:39.:14:43.

Cymru Welsh Water says it is looking for a long-term solution to the

:14:44.:14:47.

local sewage system that concedes it needs to update one of its permits.

:14:48.:14:54.

The lake is quiet, only a handful of tourists enjoying the clean air and

:14:55.:14:57.

only a few out on the lake before the full summer season starts. But

:14:58.:15:03.

beneath these waters lies a long-standing problem. Local anglers

:15:04.:15:05.

feel vindicated that the authorities will have to look again at sea which

:15:06.:15:12.

pollution and a possible reduction in the rare Arctic charr fish. The

:15:13.:15:19.

Welsh; should be directing people like natural resources Wales and Dwr

:15:20.:15:31.

Cymru water. A lot of work has been done when -- in the recent years

:15:32.:15:37.

when the spread of Al-Qaeda alarmed many in the area. -- algae.

:15:38.:15:49.

We have asked Welsh Water to look in and investigate where the studies

:15:50.:15:52.

are happening. It has been apparent that one of the overflows may well

:15:53.:15:57.

be operating not aligned with the current conditions. Doesn't that

:15:58.:16:03.

show that regulation is not working? As regular readers, you are not

:16:04.:16:08.

doing your job. Obviously, the system is a complex is dumb. The

:16:09.:16:16.

pipes are underground. They wrote -- a complex system.

:16:17.:16:26.

This was used after heavy rainfall. Dwr Cymru Welsh Water says it has

:16:27.:16:34.

invested ?2.5 million since 2009 on improving the local sewage system

:16:35.:16:39.

that will need to amend the permit on this which bike. -- sewage pipe.

:16:40.:16:49.

This has been designated as Wales' first inland bathing water. The

:16:50.:16:53.

quality of the lake is very good. In very wet weather, we do have to

:16:54.:16:58.

operate and storm water does find its way into the lake. Tough

:16:59.:17:02.

assumptions could be imposed by Natural Resources Wales --

:17:03.:17:09.

sanctions. A public meeting is being held

:17:10.:17:13.

tonight to hear concerns about plans to build electricity pylons across

:17:14.:17:15.

parts of Conwy and Denbighshire. ScottishPower Manweb wants to supply

:17:16.:17:18.

power from wind farms in the Clocaenog Forest to the National

:17:19.:17:21.

Grid, via a substation near St Asaph. But residents say they want

:17:22.:17:26.

the cables to be laid underground to preserve the landscape.

:17:27.:17:31.

From Anglesey to Carmarthenshire, Powys to Conwy and Denbighshire

:17:32.:17:34.

there are a number of recent cases where residents and electricity

:17:35.:17:37.

suppliers have failed to agree over the placement of pylons. This

:17:38.:17:42.

evening in Llanefydd near St Asaph four local communities will join

:17:43.:17:45.

forces to oppose plans for 17 kilometres of 15 metre high wooden

:17:46.:17:48.

poles carrying power from wind farms to a substation. In Cefn Meiriadog,

:17:49.:17:51.

the community has already defeated plans for a crematorium on farmland

:17:52.:18:01.

there. It is essential for people affected by the root of these

:18:02.:18:06.

pylons. And the expectation is that we can hopefully persuade them to

:18:07.:18:14.

put the cables underground. With another big development on the cards

:18:15.:18:17.

they're determined to protect the landscape from even more power

:18:18.:18:26.

cables. It is the possibly -- population of the UK as a whole that

:18:27.:18:30.

benefits from these projects. It is the wind farm and power companies

:18:31.:18:40.

that profit from them. It is more defenceless communities that pay the

:18:41.:18:43.

price, at the end of the day, because we see a landscape slashed

:18:44.:18:47.

across by these power lines. The energy company behind the plans has

:18:48.:18:50.

set out its case in local exhibitions like this, its thought

:18:51.:18:56.

to prefer running cables overground. The company says that residents have

:18:57.:18:59.

until the 18th of May to have their voices heard and they will listen to

:19:00.:19:03.

any concerns before submitting their final planning application later

:19:04.:19:06.

this year. The communities represented at tonight's meeting

:19:07.:19:08.

largely support the need for renewable energy but hope that

:19:09.:19:11.

joining forces will give them a powerful argument against pylons.

:19:12.:19:19.

He's been doing the job for three months already, but today Swansea

:19:20.:19:22.

City confirmed that Garry Monk would be their manager on a permanent

:19:23.:19:26.

basis. The club's former captain has been given a three year contract, a

:19:27.:19:29.

reward for steering them clear of relegation this season. Here's our

:19:30.:19:33.

sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. His accent is more London but after

:19:34.:19:40.

ten years at the club, is Swansea through and through. And after

:19:41.:19:42.

captaining the club in every division and a brief spell standing

:19:43.:19:47.

in as head coach, the hierarchy has now placed their trust in their

:19:48.:19:50.

former central defender. Keeping Swansea in the top flight was the

:19:51.:19:54.

task set for him after former manager Michael Laudrup was sacked

:19:55.:19:58.

in February. After doing it with two games to spare, he was always the

:19:59.:20:01.

main name in the frame to be the permanent successor. Chairman Hugh

:20:02.:20:06.

Jenkins told the club 's website today that the board had unanimously

:20:07.:20:10.

agreed that the timing was right for him to be offered the job on a

:20:11.:20:14.

permanent basis. He said they had been impressed with his workrate and

:20:15.:20:17.

commitment since taking over and how we had adapted in very difficult

:20:18.:20:21.

circumstances to secure the points they needed to remain in the top

:20:22.:20:25.

flight. In the last decade, Swansea have had a Rihanna of finding the

:20:26.:20:30.

and the decision has also been well received by the club 's supporters.

:20:43.:20:49.

I thought maybe a bigger name but you have to give him a chance. He

has kept us in the division. Good luck to him. He is the backbone of

the club. He will be good. He has managed to keep Swansea, he is the

:21:00.:21:04.

right man for the job. It is a big ask for him to come straight in with

his experience into a Premier league club but he has the backing of the

novel The Virgin Soldiers, author Leslie Thomas, who was brought up in

Newport, has died at the age of 83. His wife Diana has paid tribute,

saying he had a wonderful life and died with his family around him. Our

reporter Natasha Livingstone looks back at his life.

:21:39.:21:48.

I cannot imagine anyone writing a book that was not partially

:21:49.:21:53.

autobiographical. I like writing nonfiction but I cannot separate it.

:21:54.:21:59.

Leslie Thomas rose to become one of Lytton 's most popular novelists of

:22:00.:22:04.

the 1970s. At the time, he was the highest-paid writer in the UK and a

:22:05.:22:08.

television celebrity but before finding fame, he grew up in Newport.

:22:09.:22:12.

He left Wales at the age of 12 but Wales never left him. I feel Welsh.

I cross that bridge and I begin talking the accent. I find my accent

changes in a moment. He was sent to live in a -- an orphanage in Devon

after his parents died. Kids used to coming to listen to the

stories. I thought, there is a living in this. He got his first

At experience provided the inspiration for his first novel.

When it was sold in America, I could not believe the money. But it set me

up as a novelist. He went on to write a book a year for 40 years,

travelling the world for new stories but he always return to his memory

would have been the first to admit that himself. He was a jobbing

writer and I think as far as his attitude to his work goes, he was a

:23:28.:23:31.

great role model for any writer today. He was forced to give up his

writing in 2010 following a serious illness. He died yesterday at his

And you can see more on the author's life in a special programme, Great

:24:02.:24:04.

Welsh Writers, at 10pm tonight on BBC Two Wales. Well, quite a few

:24:05.:24:09.

showers about today, so just in case you've caught out, Derek, will we

:24:10.:24:12.

need to keep brollies handy over the next few days?

:24:13.:24:15.

That would be a good idea, Lucy. It may be dry at the moment but there's

:24:16.:24:21.

more rain on the way tomorrow followed by showers and some

:24:22.:24:24.

inclement weather on the way for the weekend. This evening a few showers

:24:25.:24:28.

here and there. Some dry weather as well. A few gaps in the cloud with

:24:29.:24:32.

rain in mid, south and west Wales later in the night. The wind easing

:24:33.:24:35.

with lowest temperatures seven to ten Celsius. Tomorrow the jet

:24:36.:24:38.

stream, strong winds high in the atmosphere will be right over Wales.

:24:39.:24:42.

So here's the picture for eight in the morning. A few places dry but

:24:43.:24:45.

generally cloudy with outbreaks of rain. Heavy in places. The wind

:24:46.:24:48.

light at this stage. A bit breezier on the coast. During the day further

:24:49.:24:52.

rain at times. Heavy in places in the afternoon. Typically five to

:24:53.:24:56.

10mm. More on higher ground in the south and west. However, later in

:24:57.:24:59.

the afternoon the rain should ease with a largely dry evening. Top

:25:00.:25:02.

temperatures around 14 Celsius and becoming breezy again. In Merionedd

:25:03.:25:05.

tomorrow, cloudy with rain at times. Some of it heavy. Dry by evening

:25:06.:25:09.

with a high of 13 in Corwen. Tomorrow night a few showers

:25:10.:25:12.

otherwise a lot of dry weather. Breezy. Windy on the south and west

:25:13.:25:15.

coast. Friday heavy, thundery showers first thing will clear

:25:16.:25:17.

followed by sunny spells and scattered showers. And a blustery

:25:18.:25:21.

wind will make it feel cool. On Saturday the weather looks set to

:25:22.:25:24.

take a turn for the worse with an area of low pressure tracking across

:25:25.:25:28.

Ireland. This will bring a spell of unpleasant weather for the time of

:25:29.:25:31.

year. Heavy rain followed by showers. Gusty winds as well. Sunday

:25:32.:25:34.

cool and windy. Further rain and showers. Heavy in places with a few

:25:35.:25:38.

bright intervals. You may have read that there's a heatwave on the way.

:25:39.:25:42.

No sign of one as far as I can see. It may become warmer and drier later

:25:43.:25:46.

this month but not definite yet. In the meantime, outbreaks of rain

:25:47.:25:49.

tomorrow. Sunny spells and showers on Friday. And the waterproofs will

:25:50.:25:52.

come in handy over the weekend. That's all for now. We'll have an

:25:53.:25:57.

update at 8pm, more news at 10.25pm. From all of us here, good evening.
