Campaigners from the Yes and No camps have been in Scotland from | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
as far afield as Anglesey, Pembrokeshire and the | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
South Wales Valleys, making their case to undecided voters. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
But it isn't just the future of Scotland that will be decided | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
in the referendum tomorrow - Wales, Northern Ireland and England are | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Here's our Political Reporter, James Williams. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The two-year debate is now in its final hours. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Time is running out for the Yes and No camps so they make | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Tomorrow's decision is for Scotland alone but Wales' voice has also been | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
From Cardiff Bay to the streets of Scotland, Welsh politicians | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
from both sides of the debate have been making their case - including | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
the Welsh Secretary of State, who was in Glasgow today, campaigning | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
But Stephen Crabb recognises a mood for change, that could see more | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
powers devolved to Wales and the issue of underfunding addressed. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
The work of the commission that identified this | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
?300 million figure that's important work, it is work we are looking | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
I think going forward, as part of the rethink | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
of the British constitution, we do need to be looking at funding | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
He also hinted at a shift in position | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
which could see unrestricted income tax powers for Wales. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
I have always been open-minded to what we call | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
the lock step that applies to income tax powers in Wales. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
I think as Scotland is getting a new swathe of taxation powers, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
I think it is right that we look again at the lock step and probably | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
These are issues to be addressed if Scotland votes No and the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Better Together campaign is confident that's the way the vote | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
will go, after the latest polls all suggest it has a slender lead | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
But supporters of independence say it's all to play for. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Welsh Nationalists are buzzing with excitement at the possibility. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
And hope the energising of political debate in Scotland will | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
In Wales, yes, we can take inspiration from this. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
But a few years behind but it means that the people of Wales are also | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
asking - well if Scotland can decide on its own future and the people | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
of Scotland aren't that different from us, their situation isn't that | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Scotland going independent, for example, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
would leave Wales as practically the lone Celtic voice in Westminster. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
Does that leave them in a very weak position? | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
And, on the one hand it might inspire people in Wales to fight | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
In some ways, I would like that they would but Wales is in a very | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
different position to Scotland in terms of economics and things. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Whatever happens tomorrow, there is a promise that change is coming to | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
this place, the Scottish Parliament but it is far less certain where | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
that leaves Wales, as that conversation has only just begun. | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
Coverage begins when polls close tomorrow evening on BBC One Wales | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
You can also follow events on BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
The results, as they come in, will, of course, | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
be on our BBC News website in both English and in Welsh. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
A review is under way after a woman died in an ambulance, while | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
waiting to be admitted to Morriston Hospital in Swansea this afternoon. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
The patient had been assessed, but had been waiting in a queue | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
of around 15 ambulances for between 30 and 40 minutes, when she died. | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
Counter-terrorism police have seized material from a house in Cardiff | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
The property in the Cathays area of the city was searched early this | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
morning and a number of items were taken away. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
South Wales Police said there was no immediate threat to public safety | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
and that cooperation with the local community was vital to tackle | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
The body which represents doctors in Wales has called | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
for a full scale independent inquiry into all services in the NHS. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The Chairman of the BMA questioned the sustainability of the service | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
The Welsh Government says it looks forward to reading the report. | :04:21. | :04:32. | |
Almost half of smokers here have been offered illegal tobacco. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
That's according to the anti-smoking group ASH. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
In the first research of its kind, the findings also suggest Wales has | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
a larger market in under-the-counter cigarettes than | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Here's our Health Correspondent, Owain Clake. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
We are doing inspections today looking for illicit tobacco. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Trying to stamp out a trade worth millions. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
A team led by Trading Standards searching for illegal cigarettes | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
But soon the dogs sniff something out. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
We have got an indication of a tobacco product down there. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Several illegal packs hidden inside a printer. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
They have a very small quantity under the counter, just to show, | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
and then they will have a larger stash somewhere else in the store. | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
If someone is found guilty of selling these, | :05:27. | :05:41. | |
there is a fine and up to ten years in prison and this team say they are | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
They recently seized ?40,000 worth of illegal cigarettes in two days. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Regular cigarettes imported duty free from abroad. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Illicit cigarettes for the black market. | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
Most are sold from private homes but many can be bought under the | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Organised criminals have been linked to this. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Typically, at around ?4 per packet, they are half the price | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
If you can access illegal packets for half the price | :06:10. | :06:21. | |
of retail tobacco, it makes it very easy to start smoking. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Adult smokers are not motivated to quit. | :06:25. | :06:25. | |
Mark George is a 19-year-old youth worker and says more | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
and more young people are deliberately seeking out illegal | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
smokes. People who smoke illegal cigarettes are off college for a | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
week. Tests have found high levels of undesirable substances. | :06:40. | :06:55. | |
The Welsh Government says ?7,000 extra will be spent | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
on sniffer dogs and, in the backyard of another Cardiff grocery store, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
It looks like they have arrived a little too late. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
We have found evidence of illicit tobacco. | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
The hundreds of cigarettes that were once inside have gone but | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
despite this disappointment, they know it will not be long | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
The Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to | :07:11. | :07:24. | |
leave the club after less than nine months in charge. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Solskjaer has held talks with chairman, Mehmet Dalman, tonight. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
An announcement on the Norwegian's future is expected tomorrow, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
as details of his departure are finalised. | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
The Bluebirds are 17th in the Championship, | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
The tinkering is the worst thing about the rein, you know. | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
You want a manager who knows his best 11 | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
Solskjaer, even now, it looks like he is in pre-season mode. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
He doesn't know what his best system is, he doesn't know | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
We'll bring you more on that tomorrow but now the weather | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
forecast. It is still pretty mild, isn't it?. - | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
isn't It is warmer than it should be at this time of the year. It is very | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
dry, also. We have only had one millimetre of rain here in Wales so | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
far this month, making it the driest start to September for over 50 | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
years. There is no sign of any widespread rain on the horizon. A | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
few thundery showers on Friday and not everywhere will see those. Dry | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
tonight across the country, low cloud and mist rolling in from the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
east. Clearer in the west and another very mild, if not warm | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
night. Tomorrow morning, the north-east, Powys and the marshe | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
select committees start off grey, perhaps a small spot of drizzle. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Some sunshine in Ceredigion. Across the rest of the UK tomorrow, | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
north-east England and eastern Scotland, dull, damp and misty. Hill | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
fog, spots of drizzle. Else where the low cloud will lift. Some | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
sunshine, most places dry but I wouldn't rule out one or two heavy | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
showers, for example n southern England. A cool 15 Celsius in | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
Aberdeen tomorrow. A warm and humid 25 in London, 77 Fahrenheit. Wales | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
tomorrow afternoon, plenty of fine and dry weather. Sunny spells. Most | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
places dry but I wouldn't rule out a heavy shower in the out east later. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Temperatures once again rising into the 20s, Celsius. Tomorrow evening | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
and overnight a few shattered heavy showers are expected. Again some low | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
cloud and mist. A murky start for some on frichlt the low cloud will | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
gradually mist. Some sunshine in the west but with heavy scattered | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
showers, downpours in some places but habit miss. A few more showers | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
on Saturday but Sunday, it should be dry and turning cooler and fresher. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
That's all from me. Thank you very much. We will be back | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
in break toast with updates from 6.25am. That's all from us today ot | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
