A deal has been agreed between the Welsh Rugby Union | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
After months of intense negotiations, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
much of them bitter and played out publicly the agreement will see | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
an increase in the amount of Union funding to the regions who have | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
described the deal as a positive step forward for the game here. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Conflict, rivalry, hostility. It is what makes Welsh is so engaging that | :00:37. | :00:55. | |
it is supposed to happen on the pitch, not of it. For 18 months, the | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
professional game has stirred on the edge of a precipice. It has been | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
pulled back today. A row over money and power has been resolved. A new | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
participation agreement has been signed and the huge sigh of relief | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
has been breathed. I would like to thank everyone involved in these | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
negotiations, particularly my counterpart was up we have spent | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
months in a room and we have agreed. Hopefully, it will work for | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
all the fans in Wales. The old agreement set out how much money the | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
regions received from the union. That will remain the same. But an | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
additional ?2 million has been ring fenced to fund do well contract for | :01:52. | :02:03. | |
ten internationals. Only those playing in Wales were considered and | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the list is thought to include ten names. Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn | :02:08. | :02:22. | |
Jones are heading the list. Perhaps the most surprising inclusion is New | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
Zealand raised Gareth and scum. -- Gareth. Several international | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
players have enjoyed periods in France. But they miss -- may miss | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
out on Welsh selection in future. This will encourage players to stay | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
here it ordered to play for their country. It has not been ideal but | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
when you see the context of the agreement, you knew there was a lot | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
to thrash out. It was painful to watch at times. Thankfully, it is | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
done. We have lost three or four players. They may have stayed if | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
this was an the table soon. Hopefully, we can get a few back in | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
the coming years and keep the talent we have. Despite professional rugby | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
in Wales being pulled back from the brink of the abyss, there were no | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
signs of champagne corks popping today. No outward signs of | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
travellers from either side. A deal has been signed but there are some | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
open wounds between both parties that may take some time to heal. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
The Leader of Swansea Council has tonight resigned from the post. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
David Phillips has led the Labour administration since 2012. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Last week Mr Phillips was told to expect a challenge to his leadership | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
He says he's leaving to concentrate on work | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
The Labour Group will chose a new leader on Monday evening. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
A 30-year-old woman has been charged with arson with intent to endanger | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
life, after two children were rescued from a burning house | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
in Ruabon, near Wrexham. Neighbours helped a 10 year old girl | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
- and a seven-year-old boy from the fire in the early hours | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
of yesterday morning. A long time campaigner | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
against child abuse has been sacked from Wrexham council's executive | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
board after raising concerns Malcolm King says he was contacted | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
by social workers who were concerned about their case load, and | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
the way their department was run. The council's leader says | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
an independent investigation found there was no evidence to support | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
the allegations which were having There's just a week to go | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
until Wales hopes to impress the world by hosting the NATO Summit | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
at the Celtic Manor in Newport. Across the country businesses are | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
working to make it a success but as our economics correspondent | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Sarah Dickins reports, it's hoped the economic benefits will last | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
more than just the few days that The excitement | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
around the news that Wales was to host the NATO Summit was a bit | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
like Newport had hit a jackpot. A bonanza was about to begin. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Businesses would have a second Christmas. | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
On a site in Cwmbran is the butchery business Douglas Willis. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Set up in 1940, three generations of the Willis family are still | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
involved in the company. With 45 workers, they supply hotels | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
and restaurants across South Wales and are one of the biggest food | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
suppliers to the Celtic Manor, which is hosting the Summit. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
In a normal week, they sell them about 700 kilos of meet. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
The hotel is so busy all the time. They have eight kitchens there, so | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
all of them are going to be full. Yes, it might be a bit more for | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
certain kitchens, but overall, we'll probably be doing the same amount. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
The Summit, expected to be five times bigger than the Ryder Cup, | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
is good for this business. But ironically, it isn't delivering | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
many orders from the Celtic Manor. Although other hotels they | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
supply are busier than normal. In the heart of the capital, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
the security barricades are up around the castle to protect world | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
leaders inside, but, some say, damaging businesses outside. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
For 35 years, tourists crossed the road | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
from the castle to buy gifts here. Certainly with ourselves, it would | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
probably be a good three weeks with a turnover down something like 30%. | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
The message from small independent shops in the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
heart of Cardiff is that the Summit is already denting their business. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
But in the long term, the hope is that the delegations | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
and the world leaders will return to their nations with the idea that | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Wales is a good place to invest in, a good place to do business. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
And in those terms, it will be good for all of us. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
One of Wales' top chefs is playing an active part in promoting Wales | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
and its products. Steven Terry has won Michelin stars | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
and many other awards for his cooking in Wales and London. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
He and his team at the Hardwick outside Abergavenny have now been | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
chosen to cook for the three most select banquets of the Summit. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
They've designed the menus, sending a strong message about modern Wales. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
What Wales has to offer is as good as anywhere in the world, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
you know, if not better. The produce that we're showcasing is | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
largely local produce around this area. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
They will all benefit from that. The Summit is a good opportunity to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
freshen up the way other parts of the world think of Wales, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
how the nation is branded. It will take many more months | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
before we know whether the Summit has improved that. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Some football news and Swansea City's South Korean | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
midfielder Ki has agreed a new four-year deal with the club. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
The player, who scored in the opening-day victory over Manchester | :07:47. | :07:47. | |
United, has signed until 2018. Time for the weather, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
let's find out what's in store. And a bit more rain before we | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
get to see some sunshine, Derek? Some I will return next week thanks | :07:56. | :08:09. | |
to high pressure. We are in for a taste of autumn. Some dry weather | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
tonight. Already a few showers the more showers expected after | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
midnight. Breezy, on the coast and in the north-west. Those | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
temperatures 12 to 15 Celsius. Tomorrow shows low-pressure near | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Scotland. Giving an autumnal feel to our weather. Breezy tomorrow | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
morning. A few showers dotted around the country. Some dry and bright | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
weather around. Across the rest of the UK, a breezy and windy day with | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
showers. Wet in parts of Scotland. The best of the dry weather likely | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
on the eastern side of England. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, some rain | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
expected. Heaviest on the high ground. Gusty winds as well and | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
temperatures lower than today. Into the weekend, Saturday a bit better. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
They will be a few showers around in mid Wales but dry and bright weather | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
as well with princes of sunshine in parts of the South West. Into | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
Sunday, a lot of dry and bright weather. Some sunshine and spots of | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
light rain and drizzle around in the middle of the day. It should feel a | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
shade warmer with temperatures around 17 Celsius at 220 Celsius. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
Next week, high pressure on the way building across Wales. It will begin | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
to warm up with some September sunshine as well. In the meantime, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
good night. That is Wales Today. | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
We'll have updates in the morning from around 6.25 in Breakfast. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
For now, from all of us here, good night. | :10:00. | :10:01. |
