The Prime Minister, on a visit to south Wales,

says he can't guarantee he could make up the loss

of funding levels for Wales if Britain leaves the EU.

Add a win for Wales, victory over the French takes them to the top of

the six Nations table. The Prime Minister says he can't

guarantee that he'd be able to make up the loss of EU funding levels

for Wales in the event of a UK exit. David Cameron was speaking

after his first visit to Wales to set out why he believes the UK

should remain in the EU, since announcing the

referendum date in June. Here's our political

editor, Nick Servini. Millions will have their say on

whether we should stay in or leave the EU, today, hundreds of Welsh

workers were given a direct appeal to come out firmly on the remaining

side. The Prime Minister made his first stop in Wales on the

referendum Trail with four months to go. His main message was that jobs

would be put at risk if there is an exit, and on Wales today earlier he

said that hundreds of millions of pounds of EU aid destined for Wales

could not be guaranteed if the UK pulls out. I asked him if that meant

a major proposed scheme like the metal to improve rail services in

East Wales and set to include EU funds would be put at risk. I think

you can say that funding is guaranteed for things that are

funded by the EU after we leave. As I said, we will always try and help

but we do if we stay in that money is available, if we leave there is

economic uncertainty and in that economic uncertainty it is difficult

to guarantee things. The brain minister also said he was

disappointed that the leader of the Welsh Conservatives would be

campaigning for an exit. The leave EU group responded by accusing the

Prime Minister of trying to bribe us with our own money, pointing to the

net contribution the UK makes the EU budget every year. But the debate is

not all about money, and other Welsh Conservative campaigning for an exit

the Monmouth MP David Davis pointed to immigration. It is about getting

back control of our borders, I believe immigration is already too

high into the UK but the European authorities have lost any semblance

of control. We are seeing millions of people enter the whole system.

Immigration will be one of the many issues being argued over but the

Prime Minister has made it clear that economic certainty will be his

main origin and 20 campaigns on the referendum in Wales.

Our political editor Nick Servini reporting there.

Well in the build up to the referendum on June the 23rd,

we'll be running a series of extended interviews,

And of course, you can get all the latest information

On the eve of its Welsh conference, UKIP's leader in Wales says

the party can win ten seats in May's assembly election.

Nathan Gill says the party would be a credible opposition in Cardiff

It's announced SIX main policies for May's election.

But with just over TWO months to go to polling day,

the party still hasn't finalised its candidate selections.

We believe strongly that we have in place in the assembly as an

opposition. As that party who can raise the issues and the concerns of

the electorate in Wales, not just those who vote for us but the

general concerns of everyone. We will make the assembly relevant, we

will make it interesting. Onto rugby and wheels are on top of

the six Nations table after beating France. George Nobbs's second try in

successive games help Wales to victory, Dan Biggar scored 14

points. It sets them up well for a title showdown with England next

month. It was not pretty, but Wales managed

a fifth victory in a row over France, elevating Warren Gatland's

team to the top of the six Nations championship for the night at least.

The game is a good challenge, especially up front. A bit of a

scrappy game but a win is a win. We will look back at the video, a bit

of a scrappy game so we need to get some things right in training. The

night started with plenty of passion, but few points on the

pitch. The first half was a jewel of the kickers, Wales edged 6-3. In the

week, the French court has called for dynamic rugby, play that is

pleasing on the eye. But there was not much of that to excite the

crowd. But the game burst into life just before the break, Gareth Davies

broke through the French defence, but Liam Williams was the night

online. The second half, Wales were on the front foot and Jonathan

Davies spotted space behind the French defence, George North led the

race to the line and eventually searched it. France dominated

possession for a time, their workouts on the try line but the

will defence held on, France's pressure yielded no points. The

visitors had the final say, but by the time the Captain crossed that

was too little, too late. I am pleased, we played a French side who

had a challenge for potentially grand slams and they were probably

coming to the millennium with the most confidence they have had in

years so I'm sure it was not a great game from a neutral perspective but

to be decided like that and a huge game at Twickenham that everyone is

hoping for. Saw an unremarkable night but will remain unbeaten in

the win sets up what could be a chubby the solar against England at

Twickenham. Time for a look at the weekend

weather now, here's Derek. It is the last weekend of Saudi and

weather wise it is not shaping up to badly. Generally dry, there will be

a cold breeze from the north-east but we should see a little sunshine.

Tonight, any rain in the south-west will soon clear, dry for the rest of

the night, fairly cloudy but a few breaks with Patti frost,

temperatures in parts of North Wales falling below freezing. A cold start

tomorrow, then, but but the country dry with plenty of cloud in the

morning. It should be brighter in parts of the West and north-west.

Across the rest of the UK, most places dry with variable cloud, the

rest of the sunshine in Scotland. A few showers in central and eastern

areas, some flakes of snow in the hills. A brisk north-easterly wind

in the south that will make it feel cold, lighter winds in the north

with a high of five in Glasgow. It will tomorrow afternoon, most places

dry, fairly cloudy and the odd light shower in the marshes but no more

than that. Temperatures on the cold side with a noticeable breeze in the

south and south-east. Tomorrow night the odd shower but otherwise dry and

there will be some frost, especially mid-north and West Wales. On Sunday

we have high pressure over Scotland that is heading our way, and that

means dry weather, a decent day on Sunday. Dry, hopefully more in the

way of sunshine with the cloud bricking up and temperatures

reaching 7 degrees. The wind lighter but a noticeable breeze in the

south-east. A lot of dry weather this weekend and into next week

signs of a change. Monday will start dry but that is rain on the way,

since David steel and Tuesday will start by old and wet. That is all

for me. Have a nice weekend. We're back evening at ten to seven

with her next update. That is Wales today good night.
