Labour in the middle of a row over all women shortlists. | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
It is high time to have women representing Wales as well. That is | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
why we want all women short lists. The Gleision mine | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
where four men died, the jury hears the pit boss insist he carried out | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
proper safety checks. 13 Police Community Support Officers | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
sacked and one quits Making movies employs more people | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
than finance and insurance. Now a new ?30 million fund | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
for films. Joe Allen will captain Wales for | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
the first time in Wednesday night's Who's the best person to represent | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
us in Parliament, a man or a woman? That's the argument raging | :00:56. | :01:19. | |
in the Cynon Valley over who should follow Ann Clwyd as the next Labour | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
candidate, when she steps Labour Party leaders say | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
the shortlists are the best way to Local party members say | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
they've been ignored. Here's our political editor | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Nick Servini. The Cynon valley has had a female MP | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
for thirty years. The question is should | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
there be another one? Labour Party leaders want | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
the make-up of MPs to reflect The veteran labour MP | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Ann Clwyd is retiring. They say the party's candidate | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
at the general election should come They want the freedom to choose | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
what they believe will be the best What we are saying is that the fact | :01:58. | :02:17. | |
that Ann Clwyd was selected on an open short list, the fact we've had | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
a woman MP per 30 years and a woman SMB member of the 15 -- for 15 is | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
enough for the party to listen to us. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
All-women shortlists can cause resentment. | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
In another Labour stronghold, Blaenau Gwent, | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
they resulted in a local Labour Assembly Member, Peter Law, standing | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
as an independent and beating the official Labour candidate | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Trina Bodman has run a local clothes shop in Aberdare for almost as long | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
It is not there really, is it? I think it should be a choice of men | :02:51. | :03:05. | |
or women. It's not play on the mend. Why would they think that women | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
would do a better job than a man? Outside there were mixed views. I | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
still think women do a pretty good job in Parliament. They are in the | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
minority so let's have a few more women. I don't agree it should be an | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
all women short lists. If it wasn't all men short list, the theme would | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
be up in arms. Labour's defended its policy, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
saying there have only been 13 women representing Wales | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
at parliament in nearly 100 years. There are seven out | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
of the current batch of 40 now. We have always fought as a party to | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
make sure that the elected bodies we have in Britain reflect what the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
country looks like as a whole and it's important we have mechanisms in | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
place to make sure that happens. That is what social is all about. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
The Labour MP for Llanelli Nia Griffith, who was | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
selected herself from an all-women shortlist, says they're needed | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
What is happening here is that we have seen the last of six | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
collections go to men so it's time now to have some women representing | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Wales as well. That is why we are keen to have all women short lists | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
in these seats because we have not managed to get women through in any | :04:29. | :04:29. | |
other way. Ann Clwyd herself says it's up to | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
the party locally to make It's unclear exactly | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
which direction this will go. How angry our local party members? | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
They were due to start the selection process tonight for the new | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
candidate and that meeting has been cancelled. What we don't know is if | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
Labour come back and say sorry our policy is that there will be at all | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
women short list we don't really know how they will react. There is | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
no suggestion they will kind of go rogue and support an independent | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
candidate against the official Labour candidate like we saw in | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Blaenau Gwent a few years ago to devastating effect. They are pretty | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
angry about it. It is an issue that people have strong feelings about. I | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
was in Aberdare today and most people I spoke to supported the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
local Labour position which is that after 30 years with a female MP they | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
felt the decision should be taken they should choose whatever | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
candidate they wanted to. Labour throughout the day have reiterated | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
their record in supplying virtually every female MP from Wales in past | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
years. The manager | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
of a Swansea Valley coal mine where four men died has taken to the stand | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
to give evidence in his defence. The miners drowned when the Gleision | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
colliery flooded nearly three years Malcolm Fyfield, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
who managed to escape the disaster, denies four counts of manslaughter | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
through gross negligence. This was the scene at the Gleision | :06:14. | :06:38. | |
mine after four colliers lost their lives and drown. Gary Jenkins, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Philip Hill, David Powell and Charles Breslin all drowned after | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
650,000 gallons of water filled the area where they were working. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Malcolm Fyfield was the manager that they and as the defence opened its | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
case this afternoon it was his turn to give evidence. Malcolm Fyfield | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
was himself underground when the disaster unfolded and before he | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
stepped into the witness box the jury heard he still suffers from | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
severe post traumatic stress disorder as a result of what | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
happened. His barrister said the condition may hamper his ability to | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
answer questions. It is the prosecution 's case that Malcolm | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
Fyfield failed to take adequate steps to check for the presence of | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
water before he and his colleagues preached disused workings releasing | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
a body of water that had gathered over 30 years. But giving evidence, | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Malcolm Fyfield insisted he had inspected the proposed point of | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
contact on three separate occasions including on the day before the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
inrush and there was no substantial body of water there. He was asked if | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
you short of that and his reply every time was yes, I am sure. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Malcolm Fyfield's barrister as to client are you lying? No, I'm not | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
lying he said. He was then asked whether he was mistaken about where | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
he was and he said no. Earlier, Malcolm Fyfield satin court | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
alongside his wife as he was reminded of his reputation as a | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
conscientious mine manager who did everything by the book. The jury was | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
told they must not be swayed by the emotion of the case. Malcolm Fyfield | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
will continue to give evidence tomorrow. | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
A former worker at a North Wales children's home has appeared | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
before magistrates charged with two offences of indecent assault against | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
62-year-old Richard Vevar from Wrexham, wearing the white | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
top, worked as an outdoor pursuits instructor at the Bryn Alyn home. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
He was released on conditional bail and is due | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
13 Police Community Support Officers have been sacked and one has quit | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
after an allegation that they cheated in their final exam. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
South Wales Police say they were dismissed | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
PCSOs aren't police officers, they can't arrest people, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
but they help to tackle anti-social behaviour in communities. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Our reporter Nicola Smith is in the newsroom. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Jamie, almost 500 PCSOs work for South Wales Police. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
There's an interview process, various tests | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
The 14 PCSOs in this case were between four and five months into | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
They took an exam in October last year, a general test | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
The allegation of cheating came to light after what | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
South Wales Police describes as "an unusual spike" in exam results. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
After an investigation, 13 PCSOs were dismissed. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Any response from South Wales Police? | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
The force gave no interviews today, but in a statement | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
the force was keen to point out that trust is integral to what they do. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
PCSOS are very much part of the public face of the police. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
They patrol the streets and people report crime to them. | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
Director of Resources, Mark Milton, says the force "prides itself on its | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
A teaching centre in Gwynedd has been closed | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
while police investigate allegations of assaults by staff on boys. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
The Brynffynon Centre at Y Felinheli near Bangor is a pupil referral unit | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
for children with emotional and behavioural special needs. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Two members of staff have been arrested | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses as their investigation | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
into a road crash in Flintshire yesterday, in which two | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Tonight, it's emerged one of them was a local man. | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Five other people were taken to hospital following the pile-up | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
on a back road near Pontblyddyn between Mold and Wrexham. | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
A car and six motorcycles were involved. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
A scorched tree trunk, the fuel tank on one of the motorcycles exploded | :11:03. | :11:19. | |
and local people said what they saw here yesterday was appalling. The | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
emergency services were on the scene in minutes. To air ambulances took | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
the injured to hospital. This afternoon one of those who died was | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
named as Nigel Davies. It happened no more than a mile from his home. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
His family are devastated. At a nearby animal rescue centre | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
volunteers heard the fact and ran to the scene to try and help. It was a | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
horrific scene. Cars were stopped, six motorbikes, they were people | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
lying injured on the road. The Berlin shock. There was a fire and | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
an explosion. The police investigation into what happened is | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
ongoing but people live around here say this is a bad place for | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
accidents. The problem they say is this long straight. Motorists speed | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
up only then to be confronted by a series of sharp bends. This crash | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
happened just six weeks after North Wales Police launched its motorcycle | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
safety campaign. Giving this large numbers of bikers are attracted to | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
the region by challenging roads through dramatic scenery. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Campaigners say both bikers and car drivers have responsibilities. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Bikers at the start of the biking season should be very careful | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
because if you are just got your bike out and have not written up | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
over the winter, you are very vulnerable. Your skills on balance | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
is rusty. Even an experienced biker has to think and act defensively. | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Carp drivers have to be aware of the you -- Road users. They have to give | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
them the necessary safe wide berth. An investigation is continuing into | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
yesterday 's crash and the police have made a fresh appeal for | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
witnesses. Our rivers are cleaner than they've | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
been for twenty years according to And the man who helped to save | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
some of our most historic buildings We need to do more to protect | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
our built heritage. The cameras have started rolling | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
in the Vale of Glamorgan on the set of 'Take Down', | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
the first film to receive a grant It reflects the growing influence | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
of the Creative Industries sector here, which employs more than | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
36,000 people. Our Economics Correspondent, | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
Sarah Dickins, The fantasy drama Atlantis. The | :13:45. | :14:06. | |
Saturday evening TV hit across the UK and made in Chepstow by BBC | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
Wales. Now the team is making its second series. The economy Minister | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Edwina Hart has been a tour of the costume department where it is | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
filmed in a former supermarket warehouse. This is what you may | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
expect from the creative sector but what may surprise you is that it now | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
employs more people than finance and insurance industries and two out of | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
three have a degree. There is work for carpenters and electricians and | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
many others. And to entice companies to come here to Wales to make | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
films, there a number of financial packages. A tax break from the UK | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
government, European fund they can apply to and the Welsh Government | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
has also set up a scheme whereby it will give money according to how | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
much they spend on the local economy. Those idea of that is to | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
keep the companies here implying as many Welsh people as | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
keep the companies here implying as many Welsh people possible. Three | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
quarters of the team in the costume department at Atlantis are Welsh | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
party because the Company works closely with local colleges. They | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
don't come knowing everything but what is so amazing is how keen they | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
are. They are very dedicated to learn. Advertising is part of the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
sector but perhaps even more surprisingly, so is the meat of the | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
price comparison site. The analysing of data. 200 people work in this | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Welsh owned company across -- known across the UK. The creative part is | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
how we service our customers through the website and through the roles | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
that people play whether it be through creative designers, writers | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
or the web designers. And there are small firms making a big impact. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Mark Boulton design has worked for the international scientists at soon | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
and Al Jazeera TV all from Penarth. The company has now been bought by | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
an American firm but the jobs are staying in Wales. Back in the world | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
of Atlantis, is the Welsh Government right to make these industries are | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
priority? These are enormous skills and skills we require. These are | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
proper jobs. Is it going to be here for the long haul? Any multinational | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
can be here for the short-haul. And multinational could decide to have a | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
big plant in Wales, management changes five years later, and that | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
whole international grant has gone. So it's no different to any other | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
business. The challenge for Wales is to try and make the can -- creative | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
industry so woven into our economy that leaving isn't an option and new | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
Welsh businesses grow. For years, our rivers bore | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
the dirty scars of industrial A new study has found | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
our rivers are cleaner now than they've been for more than two | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
decades and the findings could have important implications for our | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
understanding of global warming. Caroline Evans is on the River Taff | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
for us this evening. I am on the outskirts of Merthyr | :17:12. | :17:23. | |
Tydfil. Just up there is the old Hoover factory. The River Taff has | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
suffered from industrial pollution in the past but not so now. The | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
water is clear right the way to the bottom. With Mears one of the | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
experts from Cardiff University who has been examining the water | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
quality. It is good news isn't it? Yes. We have looked back over a 20 | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
year period focusing on the invertebrates, the boats living on | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
the riverbed and right across Wales and England, we have found a big | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
increase in the diversity. About 20% on average. We are looking three or | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
four fold increase in diversity. We want to take a closer look at what | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
you have court. We have got a range of things. The tree comes alive. The | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
big things here are flies, stone flies and mayflies. There is a lot | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
going on in here. These are species typical of good water quality. They | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
are quite important to our understanding of climate change. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Yes. We know they are sensitive to short-term variations in climate. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
What we have found with this study is that they seem to be surviving in | :18:37. | :18:51. | |
a surprising place. We would expect the species typical of low oxygen | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
concentrations to be on the rise but we are seeing the complete opposite. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
What we think is going on is that water quality has improved and it | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
offsets the impacts of climate change. So a second chance it seems. | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
Salmon have returned to the upper reaches of the River Taff. | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Scientists say it is our chance to make sure no new pollutants come | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
back into the water. For more than 30 years he's been | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
in charge of the very thing that makes St Fagan's History museum in | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
Cardiff so special - its buildings. But now as he retires, Gerallt Nash | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
warns that we need to do more to It is a mammoth undertaking. Forget | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
artefact locked away in glass cabinets, here in Tyre buildings are | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
moved brick by brick from their original site and rebuilt at the | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
Museum of Welsh life in Cardiff. This is the man who for 34 years has | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
looked after those buildings. When dealt Nash started the emphasis was | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
on life in role Wales. -- Gerallt Nash. That over time the museum has | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
evolved. We have got the sort of buildings we would find in a village | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
but we do have buildings we would like to have like some farm | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
buildings we would like and we would like to have things like an Italian | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
cafe, period garage perhaps. Maybe even a bag. About once a fortnight | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
we are offered building so quite a lot during the year. He sometimes | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
have one chance. For some of the gaps remaining at the site he has | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
set in motion chart -- plans from building including a railway station | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
and a pub. But he has a warning. I feel very passionate about the | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
architecture we have in Wales. The architectural legacy we have | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
inherited. I certainly think we should make -- do more to preserve | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
what we have. We are allowing buildings to be altered in such a | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
way that they lose their essential character. There are around 70 | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
buildings that have been saved. The school rants among his favourites. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
For every building he acquires, there is a team trying to find the | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
right furniture and so on. We have a large collection of which we would | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
use in a building if the right building comes along. For instance, | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
were we to be offered a building that we have already started to lack | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
-- collecting items for the cafe. He is now looking forward to his first | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Coffey in that Italian cafe, but as a visitor enjoying retirement. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Joe Allen will captain Wales for the first time on Wednesday night. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
The Liverpool midfielder's been given the responsibility, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
in the absence of Ashley Williams, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
who will all miss the World Cup warm up match in Amsterdam. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
Here's our sports reporter, Ashleigh Crowter. | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
They'd all rather be going to the World Cup, | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
but a pre-tournament friendly against one of the most fancied | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
sides is perhaps the next best thing, especially for Joe Allen. | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
The midfielder, who helped Liverpool to be runners-up in the Premier | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
League, will captain his country for the first time in Amsterdam | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
on Wednesday after manager Chris Coleman favoured him ahead of other | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
more experienced players who've done the job before. Of course, Allen | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
He is a fantastic player on the pitch and off the pitch he is a | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
great guide and everyone gets on with him. . He is playing for a | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
fantastic team and we're happy for him. | :23:05. | :23:22. | |
Bale withdrew from the Dutch game last weekend | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
Some fear this might be the start of a new pattern of attendance that | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
was favoured by Wales' last great left-footed player. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
I can see what they are looking at with what happened with Ryan Giggs. | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
We never had him for friendly games. But I don't see us having a | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
problem. He may miss one or two friendlies but I don't think he will | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
miss all of them. With a depleted squad, Wales are | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
lowering expectations about getting a result, talking instead | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
about gaining valuable experience for the wider squad, just as they | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
did in 2008, when they lost 2-0 to Netherlands in a similar warm-up | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
match up, just before the He was hoping to represent Wales for | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
the fifth time at the Commonwealth Games but Christian Malcolm's | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
chances of competing in Glasgow look to be over after he failed to reach | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
the qualifying time. The Newport sprinter is hoping Welsh | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
selectors, who announce the athletics squad | :24:17. | :24:17. | |
next week, will consider his case The 34-year-old, | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
who won silver in 1998 and a bronze in Delhi four years ago, wanted to | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
end his career in Glasgow. Rain affected play on day two of | :24:26. | :24:38. | |
Glamorgan 's County championship match at Chelmsford. The Morgans | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
bowlers have consistently taken wickets during Essex reply to their | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
244. A short time ago the home side were bowled out for 280. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
And finally, congratulations to Wales' netball | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
team who've qualified for the World Cup in Australia next year. | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Wales won all three of their matches at the weekend to confirm | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
Captain Suzy Drane said it's perfect preparation for the Commonwealth | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Let's get the weather now. How's Wales looking this week, Sue? | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
It is looking mixed. More springlike this week and we have the statistics | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
for Wales. It was the third warmest spring on record in Wales. It | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
continues a run of six months from December where temperatures were | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
higher than normal. Rainfall was about average. The changeable | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
weather continues this week, often cloudy with rain at times and some | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
sunny spells. This evening staying cloudy. Further out rates of rain | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
and some clearer spells so we could see fog patches forming on the | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
hills. A very mild night with temperatures are staying in double | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
figures. Tomorrow, next day. A lot of cloud around. Some bright spells | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
but some showers. More in the way of sunshine later on. It would be quite | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
as warm. Top temperatures around 14 Celsius. Tomorrow night into | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
Wednesday low pressure over the UK allowing these fronts to push on | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
from the south, keeping things unsettled. Still fairly cloudy on | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Wednesday and some bright spells and outbreaks of rain. That locally as | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
Northwoods and a ridge of high pressure starts to build on | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
Thursday. Probably the best day of the week. Drier and brighter. Just a | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
small risk of an isolated shower. Temperatures in the mid-teens. But | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
the fine weather looks short lived. We could see more rain weaving | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
across Wales on Friday and then signs of something warm into next | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
weekend. Today's picture is from Eddie Evans. Thursday probably the | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
best day to catch another sunset like this. | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
An argument is raging in the: Valley as the veteran MP Ann Clwyd retires. | :27:13. | :27:28. | |
Labour Party leaders should -- save it should be in all women short | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
lists. Local party members say they have been ignored. | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
I'll have an update for you here at 8:00pm | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
and again after the BBC news at 10:00pm. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
From all of us on the programme, good evening. | :27:43. | :27:45. |
