A weekend by the seaside is good for recharging the batteries

:00:30.:00:37.

First Minister Carwyn Jones told Conference yesterday that

:01:27.:01:28.

May's Assembly election will be a straight fight between Labour

Labour changes people's lives when we are in government.

:01:46.:01:49.

The NHS, the minimum wage, the Welsh Assembly -

:01:50.:01:55.

these only happen because we were in power.

You can't describe in the model of the new relationship

:02:46.:02:50.

You want to tell me you want to broker a new relationship

:02:51.:02:55.

with Europe, but you can't tell me what that looks like and you want

:02:56.:02:59.

the voters of this country to say - we'll throw away what we have

:03:00.:03:02.

It's a future that's risky for our children.

It's his fourth Welsh Open title, equalling John Higgins'

:03:51.:03:56.

record, and he says he's enjoyed every minute.

:03:57.:04:00.

I've played so much better this week than at the Masters.
