the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back

:00:00.:00:11.

Good evening. Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has told BBC Wales he's

:00:12.:00:16.

willing to reconsider his decision to change the club's colours from

:00:17.:00:19.

blue to red but only if they return to the Premier League. In an

:00:20.:00:22.

exclusive interview, the Malaysian businessman also said he has no

:00:23.:00:26.

plans to walk away from the club. Today, the Bluebirds bowed out of

:00:27.:00:29.

the Premier League with a home defeat to Chelsea. Natasha

:00:30.:00:35.

Livingstone reports. There was one team playing in blue

:00:36.:00:39.

at the Cardiff City Stadium today and one set of fans wishing it was

:00:40.:00:43.

theirs. Cardiff took on Chelsea in their final game in the top flight,

:00:44.:00:47.

with supporters once again showing their determination to bring back

:00:48.:00:51.

the Bluebirds. But owner Vincent Tan says he's determined to bring the

:00:52.:00:55.

club back to the Premier League. If that happens, he's told BBC Wales

:00:56.:00:58.

the club's colour could be reconsidered.

:00:59.:01:02.

I would like to focus on getting the club back to the Premier League and

:01:03.:01:06.

after that I will definitely agree to sit down and find a solution to

:01:07.:01:10.

this- maybe we can have a compromise.

:01:11.:01:20.

I don't believe him. I think it's a ploy to keep us quiet.

:01:21.:01:24.

Well, they should do it now for the championship. They shouldn't do it

:01:25.:01:28.

for the premiership. It's blackmail, in my opinion.

:01:29.:01:32.

"If the man is putting the money in, I think he calls the shots to a

:01:33.:01:34.

certain degree. Anything he can do to apease the

:01:35.:01:38.

fans regarding the red and blue situation, I think is a good thing.

:01:39.:01:42.

He's just playing games. At the end of the day we want to be blue.

:01:43.:01:46.

The fans might not be convinced yet but Tan says he's wants to unite

:01:47.:01:49.

with them, offering to have a supporter join the board of

:01:50.:01:52.

directors. He's also considering turning a third of the ?150 million

:01:53.:01:56.

owed to him by the club into equity. I will not quit while we are in this

:01:57.:02:00.

situation. I am not a quitter, nor a loser. A quitter never wins, a

:02:01.:02:03.

winner never quits. It's good to see that Vincent Tan is

:02:04.:02:07.

committed to the future of club but actually getting back to the Premier

:02:08.:02:11.

League iS going to be very difficult. I think five clubs have

:02:12.:02:14.

bounced back up straightaway in the last nine seasons. I think we need

:02:15.:02:18.

to stabilise on and off the pitch, unite the fans and engage with them

:02:19.:02:21.

and ensure this club goes straight back up to the Premier League.

:02:22.:02:25.

A goal shared by both the supporters and Vincent Tan. They'll also be

:02:26.:02:29.

hoping for an end to the drama surrounding the mid-season sacking

:02:30.:02:31.

of Malky Mackay. Earlier this week the former manager halted his legal

:02:32.:02:34.

action and apologised over the issues that led to his dismissal.

:02:35.:02:39.

I'm pleased with the result and I'm also pleased that he has publicly

:02:40.:02:42.

apologised. I said before, one day some people will apologise to me for

:02:43.:02:48.

what they have done. Some people made me out like the villain. I'm

:02:49.:02:52.

supposed to be the Bond villain, but actually I'm James Bond.

:02:53.:03:01.

As Cardiff's time at the top came to an end today fans showed their

:03:02.:03:04.

support for the players. Vincent Tan hopes that support will be given to

:03:05.:03:09.

him in the future. The rest of the day's news now and a

:03:10.:03:12.

murder investigation has been launched after a 46-year-old man who

:03:13.:03:16.

was rescued from a fire near Pontypridd died in hospital.

:03:17.:03:19.

Emergency crews were called to the flat in Ynysybwl on Friday night. A

:03:20.:03:23.

28-year-old woman, who was also rescued, is being questioned on

:03:24.:03:29.

suspicion of arson and murder. Two people have died following a

:03:30.:03:33.

crash on the A40 in Pembrokeshire. It happened just outside

:03:34.:03:36.

Haverfordwest yesterday afternoon. Police are appealing for witnesses.

:03:37.:03:40.

Campaigners gathered in Cardiff this lunchtime as part of global efforts

:03:41.:03:44.

to try and ensure the safe return of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped

:03:45.:03:47.

in Nigeria. Around 50 people took part in the rally, which was part of

:03:48.:03:52.

the Bring Back Our Girls campaign. Back to football now and as you've

:03:53.:03:56.

heard, Cardiff City ended their time in the top flight with a 2-1 defeat

:03:57.:04:00.

to Chelsea. The Bluebirds held the lead until the 72nd minute, when the

:04:01.:04:04.

visitors scored two quick goals. Swansea City ended their season on a

:04:05.:04:13.

high though. They won 3-1 at Sunderland, finishing in 12th place

:04:14.:04:15.

in the Premiership table. Cricket and Glamorgan were all out

:04:16.:04:19.

for 224 on the first day of their County Championship Division two

:04:20.:04:21.

match against Hampshire. At the close of play, the home side were

:04:22.:04:24.

119 for one. A look at the weather forecast for

:04:25.:04:28.

the next few days now - here's Sue Charles. After a wet, windy weekend,

:04:29.:04:40.

a lot more spring like this week with sunny spells and showers.

:04:41.:04:47.

Tonight a mix of clear spells and scattered showers with winds

:04:48.:04:52.

easing, not particularly cold. Tomorrow, another day of sunny

:04:53.:04:58.

spells and showers, variable cloud. A few of those showers could be

:04:59.:05:03.

heavy but hit and miss so many avoiding them. Breezy but less windy

:05:04.:05:08.

than the weekend and top temperatures of 13 Celsius in

:05:09.:05:13.

Wrexham and Cardiff. Similar sunshine on Tuesday. Less frequent

:05:14.:05:18.

but a fresh breeze. High pressure build through the middle of the week

:05:19.:05:21.

with the thing is turning more settled. From Wednesday, generally

:05:22.:05:25.

drier and warmer. A quick look ahead to tomorrow, when

:05:26.:05:29.

we'll be taking you to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. MEPs

:05:30.:05:32.

travel there twelve times a year to discuss laws that affect all the 28

:05:33.:05:35.

member states. As the European elections approach, we'll be finding

:05:36.:05:39.

out what our MEPs do all day, how it all works and asking how relevant it

:05:40.:05:41.

is to Wales. That's Wales Today. I'll be back

:05:42.:05:47.

just after 10.15pm. Hope you can join me then. For now, though, from

:05:48.:05:51.

everyone on the weekend team, have a good evening. Goodbye.

:05:52.:06:06.

Good evening. We have still got some very heavy showers out there. For
