Goodbye from me Tonight's headlines: Some of our top | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
holiday hotspots are in the running to get a share of almost ?30 million | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
to boost tourism. We enjoy going down to places like | :00:09. | :00:24. | |
the Brecon. Aberystwyth has got everything really compare to | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
England. We will be looking in detail at the plans. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Also tonight: A UKIP Assembly candidate links rubbish on Cardiff | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
We have had a large influx of Eastern European is so therefore | :00:37. | :00:48. | |
there is clear evidence that the two are connected. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The former boss of a Gwynedd bus company denies any involvement | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
After a meltdown in the price paid for recycled waste, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
the councils that claim it's cost them more than a million pounds. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
In tonight's sport: Gareth Bale left out of the forthcoming friendlies. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
He stays in Spain, having recently returned from injury | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
It's a phrase which greets visitors from the UK and abroad every year. | :01:10. | :01:34. | |
But where in Wales should tourists go and what can they do | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
A multi million pound investment has been announced to help establish ten | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
One of them is the Monmouth and Brecon canal. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Caroline Evans is on the banks in Brecon tonight. | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
This canal is one of the ten attractions which could now be in | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
for a share of that ?27 million but the Welsh Government says that is | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
European money and if they can secure private and public funding | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
the potential investor and could be summer in the region of ?85 million. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
The idea of investing that in these ten locations is that the benefits | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
will spread further afield. In the sunshine there is of course nowhere | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
better than Wales. In Aberystwyth today tourists were full of | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
enthusiasm for what we offer. It's got everything. Compared to England. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
It's brilliant. What brought us here today was the hope of a bit of | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
sunshine which we were lucky enough to find. It is a relatively easy and | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
beautiful journey. We enjoy going down to Brecon. It is because we can | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
actually go out and about. And down in Pendine Sands minister agreed. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Edwina Hart believes this is among one of the places in Wales which | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
could become an iconic destination. Every place in Wales is a | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
destination of the tourists and that is important but sometimes people | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
get bogged down with what they think people want. When you look at | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
activity holidays for instance places in Wales we thought people | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
would not be interested in 30 years ago, it is going viral and people | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
can do what they want. In all ten places are set to get a boost and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
include Saundersfoot Harbour, an adventure climbing centre near | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Merthyr and O'Neill really Museum in Aberystwyth. The man behind one of | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Wales' current main tourist attractions which is not on the list | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
says he welcomes the news. But he says that is only a starting point | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
for building up tourism. We have got to do more. There is no good adding | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
to the attractions unless we get more people coming into Wales. From | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
all the surveys we do here, not many people know us abroad. The reason is | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
quite simply that we don't spend enough on marketing and our | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
marketing compared to other regions of written is very poor. Back in | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Pender and, starting point is most welcome. They are looking to open a | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
land speed Museum, a heritage Art Centre and an eco-holiday resort. It | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
is looking to the future and getting people who had not thought about | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Pender I'm before to think about it as a place to go for the day and to | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
stay as well. While regeneration here is already under way, like all | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
of the projects they will now be individually assessed and if they | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
get through the next stage they say more work will begin here next work. | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
-- next year. We all know how important tourism is for Wales. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Today the Welsh government estimated it now supports 15% of the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
workforce. So how important is this potential investment? I have spoken | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
to a number of independent experts and broadly speaking they say they | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
welcome this as a step in the right direction. Though they tell me much | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
more needs to be done. There are calls for a UKIP Assembly | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
candidate to be deselected following comments linking rubbish | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
in Cardiff to immigration. Gareth Bennett said parts | :05:30. | :05:30. | |
of Cardiff were suffering because of an increase in immigrants | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
from Eastern Europe. We can get more on this now | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
from our political correspondent, He has got concerns about the levels | :05:36. | :05:50. | |
of litter in some areas of Cardiff and says it has been worse since | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
there has been an influx of Eastern European migration. He says there is | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
a cultural torrent -- tolerance from people from those country. This is | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
what he had to say. I have no great knowledge of Eastern European | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
countries so I cannot give you a precise explanation. All I can | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
observe is that the evidence that 15 years ago the rubbish problem in | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
that area was not as great as it is today. In the last 15 years we have | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
had a large influx of Eastern European is so therefore there is | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
clear evidence that the two are connected. We have spoken to two | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
sources within Ukip daily said those comments are an acceptable and he | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
should be deselected. An official from the party today said those | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
comments need to be investigated. If there is a tone of any form of | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
racism in their eye will be demanding that the NEC takes the | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
strongest terms to deal with this man and not only that I would ask | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
those who have proved him that they two should be reprimanded. There is | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
no room in this party for anyone who makes any racist, xenophobic or | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
other types of comments. We have spoken to Nathan Gill the leader of | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
the party in Wales and he says he doesn't agree with the comments. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
While Mr Bennett is a candidate for the party he says that is not | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
officially finalised yet. He said all candidates are monitored and his | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
comets will form a part of his assessment. Gareth Bennett says it | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
fears deselected he will sue them for loss of earnings and he says he | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
will sue them for ?300,000. This is the latest in a series of internal | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
spats within Ukip ahead of the election. Yes. There has been | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
infighting about the leadership in Wales and they seem to be flying in | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
the face of received wisdom when it comes to politics which is that | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
split parties don't win elections. In the opinion polls they have been | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
going from strength to strength and Aaron course to get this first | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
representatives in Cardiff Bay. There are calls for the next | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
Welsh Government to take action to tackle Bovine TB in cattle | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
after new figures revealed a 27% rise in the number of animals | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
being slaughtered here The Welsh Government says the number | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
of new TB incidents between 2014 and 2015 has decreased, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
which shows an improving situation A former magician from Cardiff has | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
been jailed for 14 years for sexually abusing boys | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
in the 1980s and 90s. Cardiff Crown Court heard | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
55-year-old Mark Davies targeted boys from single parent families, | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
dazzling them with magic tricks He was found guilty of 13 sex | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
offences, including Some Welsh councils have lost more | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
than a million pounds in income because of a collapse in the global | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
price paid for recycled waste. Six authorities have told BBC Wales | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
that a meltdown in waste markets has Pembrokeshire Council has seen | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the price it gets for steel drop It's bin day in Buckley | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
and the weekly recycling Nearly 60% of the rubbish picked up | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
in Flintshire is now recycled, making it a record | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
year for the county. This is where all the recycled waste | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
collected in Flintshire ends up. Then it will be bailed up and sold | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
on and that is where The amount of cash being received | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
four recycled waste In fact, Flintshire Council | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
estimates it has cost them more than ?400,000 in lost | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
income over the last year. We try to play the market as best | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
we can but obviously we have got to manage our budgets as we go | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
on through the financial year so it makes it difficult when we do | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
have a drop in issues that we can't control, such as the global price | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
of oil or when larger countries flood the European | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
market with steel. It does affect the prices | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
we get for our materials. Across Wales, six councils who sell | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
on their own recycling waste have told us that they have | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
been feeling the pinch. Taking a hit of anything from just | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
a few thousand pounds in Gwynedd to six figure sums in places | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
like Pembrokeshire. So what can councils do | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
when the drop in recycling markets The answer may be to aim for zero | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
waste in the first place and that is what this project | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
in Bangor has been looking at under What we really need to be doing | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
is looking at how we prevent waste You can't always rely on the fact | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
you're going to have a global At the moment the global market | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
for textile is a bit iffy so really we need to be reusing more of it | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
in the communities we live in. Finding a new home for an old piece | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
of clothing might seem like a tiny step forward when it comes | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
to saving our waste but it's something we might all have | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
to consider in the future. By 2025 we need to recycle 70% | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
of what we throw away. Of course, it's not all bad news | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
for councils because it costs them more than ?80 in landfill tax | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
for every tonne of waste they bury So every scrap of rubbish sold | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
on is money in the council coffers at a time when they desperately need | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
every penny they can find. The former managing director | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
of a Gwynedd bus company at the centre of an ?800,000 fraud | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
has denied any involvement John David Hulme from Caernarfon | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
is accused of claiming payment for thousands of bogus | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
concessionary fares. John Hulme was managing director | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
for Padarn Bus Limited from 2009 to December 2012 when he was | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
suspended for an unrelated matter. The prosecution says that | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
between July 2011 and his departure seventeen months later ?495,000 | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
was fraudulently claimed by the company from Gwynedd Council | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
for bogus concessionary fares, But in the witness stand over | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
the past two days, Mr Hulme has denied charges of fraud | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
and false accounting. He accepted that he submitted | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
the claim forms to Gwynedd Council but that he was only relying | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
on the data in front of him. He said he hadn't falsified | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
or amended the documents. Another man, Darren Price, | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
the former operations manager at Padarn Bus Limited has pleaded | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
guilty to fraud relating to the period after Mr Hulme | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
left his position. A total of ?800,000 | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
was claimed until the fraud In his closing argument the defence | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
barrister said that his client had extensive knowledge | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
of timetables and routes. He told the jury, "John | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
David Hulme loves buses. "You might think he is a bit | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
of a geek, you might think "A fraudster who risked his | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
reputation doing a job he loved. The judge, Merfyn Hughes QC, | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
is expected to conclude his summing up and send the jury out to begin | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
its deliberations on Monday. Still to come in the programme: | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
The exhibition that's very much a family affair, paying tribute | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
to one of Wales most celebrated artists - the late | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
John Knapp-Fisher. And we've enjoyed some | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
lovely weather this week. But will the sun glasses come | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
in handy over the weekend? By 2020 the UK Government wants | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
every home to have a smart meter. They'll allow us to monitor our | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
energy use far more accurately on a digital screen and bring | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
an end to estimated bills. But BBC Wales has learnt that some | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
of the big six energy firms are yet to install a single | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
one in Welsh homes. Every time she uses the microwave, | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
switches on a light or charges the family's tablet | :14:08. | :14:19. | |
Stefanie Christian can see exactly A portable device linked | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
to her new smart meter flashes up When you turn the kettle | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
on it goes up and so on. I think it does help just to keep it | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
at the forefront of your mind about the consumption | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
in a way that impacts you. It doesn't really matter how many | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
kilowatts because it doesn't mean anything, but when its ?3.50 a day | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
or ?2.50 a day you can So this is a smart electricity meter | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
and a smart gas meter. The UK Government wants all of us | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
to have a smart meter by 2020. They are meant to make us all more | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
energy conscious and bring an end Millions of traditional gas | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
and electricity meters need to be replaced, | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
described as the biggest national infrastructure project | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
in a generation. Each of the energy suppliers rolls | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
out a different rate and depending on where you live and what type | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
of house you've got and which energy supplier you are with depends | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
on when you will get Across Great Britain, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
about two million smart meters But with four years left to hit | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
the target, BBC Wales can reveal that some of the big six energy | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
firms are yet to install a single British Gas and SSE have installed | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
the most here so far. E.ON said it had been focusing | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
mainly on the Midlands, Npower, EDF and ScottishPower | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
said they were waiting for an industrywide communication | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
system for smart meters to get up We have got a smart energy centre | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
in Treforest and what we're trying to do is train so that we can get | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
more skilled engineers. We will ultimately have to get | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
about 800 metres in Welsh homes It is a big challenging target | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
and an infrastructure programme of this size hasn't been taken | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
on by the energy industry ever. The UK Government told us | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
it was committed to every household and small business in Wales | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
being offered smart meters It said energy suppliers had | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
already made a good start. A bible which a 15-year-old girl | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
walked 26 miles barefoot to buy has returned to the Gwynedd town | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
she purchased it from Mari Jones made the journey to Bala | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
in 1800 to buy the book Her story led to the creation | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
of the Bible Society, which aims to make | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
the book more accessible. Tonight's sport now. | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Here's Tomos. Chris Coleman insists Gareth Bale's | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
commitment to Wales should not be doubted despite the Real Madrid | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
forward missing the friendlies against Northern Ireland and | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Ukraine. Following talks between Wales | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
and Real Madrid, Bale He recently missed eight games | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
for Real A packed press conference the two | :17:02. | :17:16. | |
friendlies. A sign that these games are far from routine. With the | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
European Championships around the corner Chris Coleman has just three | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
warm up games to prepare. Next week's Northern Ireland match will | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
be the last at home. But the most important player would be involved. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Gareth Bale is staying in Spain. He has only recently made his comeback | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
for Real Madrid and Chris Coleman isn't willing to gamble with his | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
fitness. Leaving him out was a joint decision between club and country. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
They recognise that in Gareth therefore the player who is totally | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
committed to Wales. They have never put an obstacle in no way. So | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
equally we have to recognise it has been tough for him in the last few | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
months that this wise and looking at the bigger picture it's all about | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
the summer. Gareth Bale joins a list of absentees including Gareth -- | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
Aaron Ramsey, James Collins and Aaron -- James King. Ben Davies is | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
included. So key players missing for Wales but Chris Coleman was keen to | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
stress that could resent an opportunity for others to impress | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
before the summer. He says there are places still up for grabs in his | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
squad. It is good for us before the tournament. We need to cast our way | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
-- our ideal corner too. It is a positive for us. As for Chris | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Coleman's future, negotiations over a new contract have started and | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
other meetings are planned after the friendlies. Chris Coleman insists | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
it's not a job he will give up lightly. | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Staying with football and Francesco Guidolin will return | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
to the dugout for Swansea City's game against Premier League bottom | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
side Aston Villa tomorrow for the first time since being | :19:09. | :19:11. | |

Rugby and Dan Lydiate missed the final training session this | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
morning ahead of their Six Nations finale against Italy. | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Lydiate , who's stand-in captain, has what's being described | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
as an ankle irritation but the coaches insist he will play | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
tomorrow and they are determined to win to finish second | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
Glad to have this game because it gives us an opportunity to put | :19:37. | :19:54. | |
things right. It gives us an opportunity to finish second, | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
something we haven't done for 36 years. There is still a lot on the | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
game with regard to our personal pride and responding to the | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
disappointment of last week. Wales Under-20 can win their first | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
ever Six Nations Grand Slam by beating Italy at | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay. The game is live on Scrum V Live | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
tonight on BBC 2 Wales and a little earlier I caught up with the former | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Wales and Scarlets coach I began by asking him, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
how important the Under-20s are for the development | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
of players in Wales. It has been vitally important. It is | :20:24. | :20:37. | |
a vital part of the pathway. It actually gives these young players | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
experience of representing their country. It is a level above what | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
they are used to and they get a lot of exposure. It is the first time a | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
lot of these lads have played on television. It is a vital cog in the | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
pathway and it has proved very beneficial for Welsh rugby. Last | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
week they clinched the triple crown against England. No doubts tonight, | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
surely they will clinch the grand slam. Tonight will be easy. This | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Italian side have run Ireland and Scotland close. But you can only see | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
one result. Let's turn to the senior side. How do you assess their | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
performances throughout this campaign? It has been a funny old | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
campaign. Even the game last weekend, when you look at the | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
performance overall it wasn't what they would have wanted. One thing | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Wales have done under Warren Gatland is defend and they have done that | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
immensely well. We are all looking for a bit more spark from this team. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
We're not seeing it at the moment. Everybody's disappointed with that | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
having said that they are one of the top teams in world rugby and even | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
outscored England three tries to one. I think we all want to see a | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
bit more in terms of flea and style and hopefully we will see that | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
tomorrow. Thousands of people will be running, | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
swimming and cycling this weekend Last time round more than ?800,000 | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
was raised in Wales to help 200 projects here like this | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
gym in Llanelli. Former Wales wing Shane Williams has | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
been there to support the club And tonight Gareth Bale | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
and the comedian Jack Whitehall Look, there is a very easy way | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
to get me to play for your team. I haven't heard anything | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
so preposterous in my life. More from Gareth and Jack | :22:36. | :22:50. | |
on Sport Relief starting in a few A family tribute celebrating | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
the life of the Pembrokeshire-based artist John Knapp Fisher opens | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
as an exhibition in Tenby tonight. Best known for his distinctive dark | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
and light paintings, the show features works | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
from four generations Abigail Neal has had | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
a sneak preview. A year after his death comes | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
a celebration of John Knapp Fisher's life by those closest | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
to him - his family. This is a scene that a lot of Tenby | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
people will recognise. The exhibition features a diverse | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
collection of his work but it's also a rare glimpse at | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
something more personal. Spanning the generations, | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
there are pieces too from the artist's father, | :23:46. | :23:46. | |
his ex-wife, granddaughter and son, It is this sort of balance of having | :23:47. | :24:02. | |
this creativity in your family and at the same time actually developing | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
your own style. My father, we disagreed and a lot of things and he | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
could never understand why a wanted to save the world and to me that is | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
very natural and painting as natural as it's natural to combine the two. | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
John Knapp Fisher moved to Pembrokeshire in the 1960s | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
where his dark, dramatic landscapes made him a widely acclaimed | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
In the last few years of his life he stopped selling paintings, | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
For his admirers, this is a rare chance not to be missed. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
The last time we had a show of John's work in Tenby we had such | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
enormous interest we had to have a queuing system | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
A small number of paintings that we have for sale, | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
numbering about 10, I think we'll have the same of forming an orderly | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Tenby Museum has recently warned that it's struggling to survive | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
For that reason this exhibition could be just what they need. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
The sales commissions from such a high value painter will go a long | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
way towards securing their financial future. | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
Well, is this dry weather going to stay into the weekend? | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
Derek can tell us. How is it looking? | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
Unfortunately, I can't promise as much sunshine as we've | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
Sunny in Carmarthenshire with a high of 13C in Pembrey. | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
Tonight, clear in the west for a time but low cloud | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
Last night the temperature fell as low as -4C in places | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
but tonight most places will remain above freezing. | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
Here's the picture for 8:00am in the morning. | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
The cloud sitting on the hills with the odd spot of drizzle. | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
Hazy too with dust and pollution trapped beneath | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
The odd spot of drizzle but otherwise dry again. | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
Maybe a little sunshine in parts of the west but not | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
Temperatures on the cool side under the cloud. | :26:22. | :26:26. |
