Tonight, more than 250 jobs are under threat in south Wales. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
120 jobs could go at an electrical components factory in Swansea. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
And a further 150 face the axe here, at the Freeman Factory in Cwmcarn. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Tonight, we'll be asking, is it a blow to the recovery of the | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Sudden heavy downpours cause flash flooding in parts of the country - | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
We just got the property reader and 12 months ago. | :00:34. | :00:52. | |
It will be the final combat tour of Afghanistan for Welsh troops. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
We join them on their final training mission in Germany. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
In tonight's sport, a man on a mission - former WRU Chief | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Executive David Moffett has enough backing to force an Extraordinary | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
And time to call it a day - Craig Bellamy retires from football. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
The 34-year-old says he wants to move into management. | :01:10. | :01:25. | |
More than 250 jobs are under threat at two factories in south Wales | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Letters to staff at an events company in Cwmcarn | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
near Caerphilly shown to Wales Today show the majority of the 150 workers | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
And an electrical components firm in Swansea could halve its workforce, | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
We'll have more from there in a moment but, first, our reporter | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
The company has told staff it is possible more than half the | :01:52. | :02:13. | |
employees here will be made redundant. They have been told not | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to speak to the press but they did tell us this is a very difficult | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
time and that the whole workforce is worried for the future. 220 people | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
currently work on the site manufacturing electrical components. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
The company says it is considering restructuring this part of the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
business and that could see at two 120 jobs go over a period of 18 | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
months. In a statement, Morgan Advanced Materials said it will do | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
all it can to minimise the effect on employees who may be affected by | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
this proposal and it will aim to avoid compulsory redundancies | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
wherever possible. It is not just manufacturing, it does a lot of work | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
for the motor industry and the motor industry itself is doing very well. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Hugely disappointing and I hope they can find a way out of it. It follows | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
an announcement earlier this week that 90 people have been laid off at | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Wales' most famous call centre. They are currently starring in a BBC | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
documentary. The company insists the redundancies are only short-term and | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
the workers will be given their jobs back. There is better news further | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
at the Swansea Valley. Around 30 jobs have been safeguarded at this | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
engineering firm. A new contract also means they have been able to | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
expand their workforce by a third. The advantage over the far East | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
solution is that the cost is increasing and the skill set, which | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
has always been in the UK, people recognise that the UK is the place | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
to be. But in Swansea, there is a black cloud over the east of the | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
city as a major employer continues to consult with the unions. | :04:12. | :04:28. | |
Why are jobs at risk? Because the American company that owns the site | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
behind me have decided to centralise some of the operations it owns in | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
the UK by building a new headquarters in the Midlands. They | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
make the kind of equipment and backdrops you see at big events and | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
big conference calls. We understand around 150 people work here. I spoke | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
to some of them today and they have been offered jobs at the new | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
headquarters near Coventry. But they have told me that some of the terms | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
and conditions are worse than they are on at the moment. Many feel they | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
would be worse off if they were to take the company is on the offer and | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
moved to Coventry. What will happen next? Many of them have received | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
redundancy notices. They suggest that some workers will leave at the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
end of July. Others will leave in December at the end of the year. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
That raises the prospect that this site could shut completely. Some | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
admin staff could move to Newport but this site may not be in | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
operation as of December. We have tried to contact the company today | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to ask for this side of the story but they have not returned our | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
calls. Our economics correspondent joins me | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
now. Bad news for Swansea today but the latest figures do show that the | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
economy is growing, especially in manufacturing. It is terrible for | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
those individuals and people who will lose their jobs. They will have | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
less money and that will impact on the economy. But I don't think this | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
is an example of a weakness in our economy. Manufacturing is growing in | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
Wales and the UK at the moment. What we have are two very large companies | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
with international businesses and in both of those, they are changing the | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
way they do things. Internationally, that might work, but Wales is the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
loser. That is what brings them together. These structural | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
decisions. Thunder storms and torrential rain | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
have caused flash flooding The worst affected areas | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
were Penarth and Cwmbran. An elderly couple had to be rescued | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
from their home The Fire Service has had more than | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
a hundred 999 calls as well An hour?s worth of heavy rain | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
destroying months of hard work. Tiger McLeod has only recently | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
finished refurbishing his home in Penarth but | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
the flash floods brought down part of his living room wall, destroying | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
furniture and family pictures. The damage means he'll have | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
to move out temporarily. It is structurally unsafe at the | :07:26. | :07:37. | |
moment. We have to wait for the council to come. We are looking at | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
staying with friends until it is sorted out. | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
On the seafront it was equally as bad. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
This shows how bad things became. At lunchtime, this road was impossible. | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
But the damage is still being felt as many of the buildings here were | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
affected by the floods. The yacht club have been clearing up | :08:01. | :08:01. | |
since waters rushed through We have almost finished tidying this | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
now. Huw Pickford from | :08:07. | :08:18. | |
the club told me how the floors were This is what the rest of the flawed | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
look like. Another badly affected | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
areas was Cwmbran. Here, in two locks, | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
this road was under water and the An elderly couple also had to be | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
rescued from their home Over a hundred calls were received | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
by the South Wales control centre Reports of houses flooding, | :08:44. | :09:00. | |
businesses affected, roads in a dangerous condition and we had three | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
life risks in that we had to send fire engines to rescue people from | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
their homes. This is how flooded my back garden is. Most of the | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
rainwater has now gone but the clearer is continuing for many. | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
A man from Ogmore Vale who waited four and a half hours outside | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
a hospital in an ambulance because there was no room in the | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
A department did not die because of the delay, a coroner has ruled. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Michael Bowen, who was 58 and suffered from alcohol | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
misuse, was taken by ambulance to the Princess of Wales Hospital | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Mr Bowen died after a seizure hours after being admitted. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
The coroner recorded a narrative verdict. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Plans to shake-up heart services at four district hospitals in mid | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
and west Wales have been discussed following a critical review | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
The Royal College of Physicians has called for a specialist cardiac hub | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Hywel Dda University Health Board asked for the review | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Their findings will be presented in September. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
The Welsh Rugby Union has confirmed tonight that it?s preparing | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
for an Extraordinary General Meeting of the governing body. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
The meeting has been triggered by more than 40 clubs | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
and the four regions in a campaign orchestrated by former | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
They are unhappy with the way the game is currently being run. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
David Moffett and his red box, in it he says letters calling for an | :10:27. | :10:38. | |
extraordinary general meeting of the WRU. He is a former chief executive | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
of the regions, the union and now a would-be champion of the smaller | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
clubs. He was taking no chances that the letters would get lost in the | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
post. This would be the first EGM for seven years. He would like to | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
become the W, replacing David Pickering, which could happen if the | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
clubs force a vote of no-confidence in the current board. The rebel 51 | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
are accusing the governing body of not acting in the best interests of | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
the sport. This is about 51 clubs deciding they have had enough of the | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
way the WRU treats them and I have been the conduit. They have signed | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
possibly the most ever calling for a new EGM. They are deeply unhappy | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
with a lot of issues. Getting more than 50 clubs is quite something but | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
getting a majority is going to be difficult so how has he got his | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
message across? He has done interviews, he has written to all | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
members and he has relied heavily on social media. Some of his | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
campaigning has verged on the surreal. But there has been disquiet | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
that some of the content, particularly regarding David | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Pickering, has been too personal. It is all-time in cheek. Looking back, | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
I might have done a few things differently, but when you have got | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
people who won't talk to you no matter what you try and do, then in | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
a political stance, I think they are fair game. The WRU have confirmed | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
receipt of the red box and will set an EGM date within the next 21 | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
days. A meeting with then take place during the following month. And the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
talking. There. David Moffett intends to lead the debate. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
The new technology that uses seawater to warm this 18th century | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
And he was the Duke of Wellington's right hand man. | :12:37. | :13:02. | |
Today marks an historic milestone in Britain's role in Afghanistan | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
as the final tranche of Welsh troops leave for their last-ever | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Charlotte Dubenskij joined 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
better known as the Welsh Cavalry, at their base in Germany | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
It is early morning as soldiers from the Welsh cavalry march out for | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
their daily drill. Lines are formed, names are checked, before they head | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
out for training sessions to prepare them for the difficult task ahead. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Many have already experienced a tour in Afghanistan. It is 55 degrees | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
Sundays at 1pm in the Avenue. That coupled with your body armour, and | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
being around with a lot of younger guys and trying to maintain a | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
balanced force and striving towards a goal is very hard. For some, this | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
will be a first. I am nervous. I can't wait to get out there. The | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
skills honed year could mean the difference between life and death. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Final preparations are being made for their third tour of Afghanistan. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
When 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards return home, it will come to a close | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
a 12 year campaign. The loss of life has been high. More than 450 British | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
military personnel have died, including two men from this | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
regiment. While their early role involves quashing the rule of the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Taliban, the focus has shifted over the last few years to training | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Afghan security forces, allowing our troops to withdraw. This is a role | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
these soldiers will continue to facilitate over the next humans. It | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
has not been an easy road, so what will the legacy be after three | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
tours? We will be leaving behind a much better place. What will be the | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
Afghan legacy? In military terms, we have set the conditions for them to | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
take it forward and get even more than we have. I am confident, having | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
seen everything they have achieved in the last few years, they will | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
make a great success of it. These soldiers will play a significant | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
role in shaping the future of Afghanistan. When they leave, they | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
hope the country will be a safer place, partly because of them. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Polling stations are open for voting in the | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
They'll close at ten o'clock tonight but counting doesn't take | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
11 parties are putting up candidates for four seats representing Wales. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
Prestatyn's Nova Centre could be up for a ?3.5 million revamp. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Denbighshire Council closed it earlier this year | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Now the authority is being asked to give the go ahead to a study which | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
If approved, work may be completed as early as July next year. | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
It?s the first of its kind in Britain and driven | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
by economic reasons as much as environmental ones. | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
The National Trust has invested in a new heating system | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
Of all the Trust's 29,000 properties in Britain, Plas Newydd on Anglesey | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
The conversion is expected to save ?40,000 a year. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
Our environment correspondent Iolo ap Dafydd has the story. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
This stretch of water is the Menai Strait and from now on will help | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
heat another iconic landmark, Plas Newydd, the 18th-century stately | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
home. They happen -- this house happens to consume a lot of oil | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
every year. On simple economic, we knew something had to happen, and we | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
have got in ever recharging each source White in front of the house. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
It is a European special area of conservation with a variety of | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
habitats and home to almost 1400 different plants and animals. It is | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
a sentiment valley between Anglesey and the mainland. This is now part | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
of Plas Newydd's new energy store. The seat he said and using that | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
reservoir of energy is what is behind the science. The temperatures | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
get to a maximum around the end of the summer when people are thinking | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
of them central heating systems back on. Seatech bridges are at a minimum | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
around February and March when people are thinking about putting a | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
heating system of. The technology costs around ?140,000. 15 litres per | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
second sea water coming in. We have got to filters to take any bits out | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
of it. It goes through another bike to a heat exchanger. From up the | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
hill, two pipes with a thin fluid comes down, takes this three degrees | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
of heat, goes back up the hill. The rest of the ?600,000 investment is | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
housed indoors. In one of the less grand outbuildings of this stately | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
home, this is where the four heat pumps are. These three tanks are | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
full of 1000 litres. Two smaller pumps to pump the heat into the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
house. And behind me, the boiler. Very much part of the new engine | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
room. Britain's first Marine heat source plan is to save a | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
considerable amount of money for the National Trust. Using oil costs the | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
charity ?80,000 a year. The projected costs by 2020 are of | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
energy bills topping ?200,000 a year, which led to a two-year plan | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
to install the technology to reduce the bills. We have been storing | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
about 15,000 litres just above the Menai Strait which is a big risk. It | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
means we are going to be safer and saving a lot of money which is going | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
to be put straight back into our core conservation work. Two years | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
ago, LED lights which use less energy were installed. Solar power | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
is also partly powering the mansion. But there will be fewer oil tankers | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
arriving and leaving Plas Newydd. Claire's here now with details | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
of the days sport Cardiff City and Wales striker | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
Craig Bellamy has announced His career saw him play for some | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
of Britain's biggest clubs and gain Celebrating in his final match as a | :19:39. | :19:55. | |
professional. This strike against Chelsea was ultimately credited as | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
an own goal. But there are plenty of other moments for him to look back | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
on with pride. After making his name as a youngster with Norwich, he went | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
on to blame for clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle. His often fiery and | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
confrontational manner meant there were public fallings out with | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
team-mates but managers continue to pay big money to bring him to their | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
clubs. By the time of his international retirement last year, | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
only four men had scored more goals for Wales. The highlight undoubtedly | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
the winner against Italy at the Millennium Stadium. His first spell | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
at home-town club Cardiff city failed to produce the Premier League | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
promotion he craved but on his return his dream was achieved, | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
albeit followed by relegation. In announcing his retirement at the age | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
of 34, he has said he will now move into management with an ambition of | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
one-day being in charge of the Wales team. | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
After his heroics in the FA Cup final, Aaron Ramsey is being rested | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
The Arsenal midfielder's been left out of the squad to face | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
James Collins, Ashley Williams and Ben Davies are injured, while | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
goalkeeper Boaz Myhill has retired from international football. | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
That's given an opportunity to uncapped keeper Connor Roberts | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
But the world's most expensive player, Gareth Bale, is in the squad | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
He's currently preparing for the biggest match | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
of his career - Saturday's Champions League final between Real Madrid | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
and Atletico Madrid, where he's hoping to join Ryan Giggs | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
in an elite club - Welshmen who've won club football's biggest match. | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
I am a proud Welshman and I am looking forward to playing in the | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
final and hopefully I can win when just like he did. Both teams are in | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
great moments and Atletico Madrid, winning the league last week, they | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
are going to be on a high and I think it is going to be a difficult | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
game. You can't really say who is favourite but it is about taking big | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
opportunities when they come and hopefully we can do that. | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
Team Wales have named a 16-strong women's hockey squad | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Abi Welsford is captain and Xenna Hughes, the daughter | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
of former Wales football manager Mark Hughes, is included. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Cricket, and Glamorgan will be without | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
all-rounder Graham Wagg for their next two games with a groin injury. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
He oversaw the Charge of the Light Brigade and was | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
Now the First Lord Raglan's war memorabilia is up for auction | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
at Christie's in London after spending generations at | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Jordan Davies has been to London ahead of the sale. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
He looks back at his remarkable life. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Into the valley of death rode the 600. Can into the right of them, can | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
enter the left. The poet Tennyson's description of the charge of the | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
light Brigade, overseen by this man, Field Marshal Lord Raglan. This is | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
the fragments of the bridle reportedly warned by the was | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
belonging to Captain Nolan who led the charge of the light Brigade. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
Just one of the remarkable items collected during his lifetime, | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
including medals, decorations and gifts acquired during 40 years as | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the Duke of Wellington's right-hand man. This Indian gold ring, a | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
highlight of the collection. The historical importance of the items | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
always adds excitement and value to items in the collection and we have | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
got a wonderful group of medals belonging to him. The collection is | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
so significant at Christie's, the two cannons are on display in the | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
main reception. Yours for a snip at ?40,000 each. The contents of the | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
museum is not as grand. But it was passionately supported by the late | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
fifth Lord Raglan, the last owner of the collection, which is now being | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
sold by his nephew. His ancestors had built up that collection and he | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
had added to it. The clear indication is that he wanted it to | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
stay in the family. If it could not stay in the family, one suspects he | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
would have wanted it to be kept together. Christie's says there has | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
been interest from around the world so after today, some of these rare | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
artefacts may spend the next 150 years in a new home. | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
We heard about those storms earlier which caused flash flooding in south | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Wales. Should we be braced for any more? We | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
are not out of the woods yet. After yesterday's glorious sunshine, today | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
has been very lively. There is still a yellow warning in place. The risk | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
of localised flooding tonight. Here is a radar showing the extent of the | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
showers which came in from the south-east earlier. The heaviest | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
work across parts of the south and east and we have more showers in the | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
forecast. There was some brightness in between those showers. Another | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
line of showers coming in during the overnight period, some of which | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
could be heavy. The reason for the unsettled conditions is this area of | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
low pressure sitting across the UK, bringing a series of weather | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
friends. We do have more showers in the forecast. Tomorrow morning, a | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
cloudy start for most of us with more showers making their way in | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
from the south-east. There will be some hints of brightness behind the | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
showers by the time we get into the afternoon. No warnings as yet for | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
the showers tomorrow but keep an eye on the forecast. Tomorrow night, we | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
will see yet again more showers. Making their way in from the | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
south-east. It is another fairly mild night with temperatures no | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
lower than nine Celsius. That is set the scene for Saturday. More showers | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
in the forecast, some hints of brightness, probably the worst day | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
of the bank holiday. By the time we get into Sunday, a ridge of high | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
pressure starts to build. By Sunday afternoon we can look forward to | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
fewer showers. On Monday, it is looking drier and brighter. For the | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
bank holiday weekend, I would take something for the showers and also | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
some sunscreen. More than 250 jobs are under threat | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
at two factories in south Wales Letters to staff | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
at an events company in Cwmcarn near Caerphilly shown to Wales Today | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
show the majority of the 150 workers And an electrical components firm in | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
Swansea could halve its workforce, Thunder storms | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
and torrential rain have caused The worst affected areas | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
were Penarth and Cwmbran. An elderly couple had to be rescued | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
from their home The fire service has had more than | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
a hundred 999 calls as well You can get more | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
on all our stories on our website The new Welsh-language service | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
which launched today offers a live stream of the latest updates, | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
links to the best Welsh content online and a magazine section with | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
features and opinion pieces. I'll be back at 8.00pm and again | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
after the news at 10.25pm. For now though, from all of us on | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
the programme, have a good evening. When the first travellers crossed | :27:58. | :28:10. | |
America, they were faced with this - from snow-capped mountains | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
to arid plains and thick forests. | :28:16. | :28:20. |
