We're in Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The first stop on our two week tour of Wales. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
What are the issues that matter to people here ahead | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
They've been protesting about closing sixth | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
The council wants to send A level students to Pembrokeshire college. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
sixth form gives you the opportunity to become a well rounded individual | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
among people of all ages. One of the key benefits of learners coming to a | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
further education college is the wide variety of learning | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
opportunities we offer. You've also been telling us | :00:49. | :00:49. | |
the other big election issue here is local hospital | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
services being cut. Also tonight: A ballistics | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
expert tells the inquest into Cheryl James's death it's | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
"likely" she was holding a rifle And a deal to secure Chris Coleman's | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
future as Wales manager is getting closer, according the boss of | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
the Football Association of Wales. Welcome to Haverfordwest | :01:12. | :01:28. | |
in the heart of Pembrokeshire, on the first day of our | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Tour of Wales. It's a glorious evening here, | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
we're just a few miles away from spectacular coastline | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and the Pembrokshire This castle has stared out on many | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
chapters of history in Pembrokeshire and most recently, the oil industry | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
has been the big story. In my childhood, it was the big employer. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
It is in decline now. The other big change taking place in Pembrokeshire | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
is all about services, schools and hospitals. And those two issues will | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
be the big stories of the forthcoming election and a couple of | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
weeks. We will talk more about hospitals a little later, but we | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
will begin tonight with the hugely controversial changes proposed for | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
secondary schools in Pembrokeshire. Musical talent is where a sixth form | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
can give added benefit and why It's not just about exam results | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
on a sheet and I think you have to look at the person behind it | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
and I think that the sixth form gives you the opportunity to become | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
a well-rounded individual among Ben's at Tasker Millward, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
one of two secondary schools in Haverfordwest | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
that the council wants to close and replace with an 11 to 16 school | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
with A level students going to a new sixth form | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
centre at Pembroke College. These 15-year-olds in Saint Davids | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
will also be affected. Plaid Cymru, Labour | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
and the Conservatives have called But collaboration with the college | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
has been welcomed here. Currently, as I said, | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
it is a small sixth form although our outcomes | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
But perhaps we're not providing for our | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
Neath Council are not the only ones looking at moving | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
sixth-form provision into the further education sector. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
In fact, here in Neath it has been standard | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
practice for a number of years, so I have come to the college | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
The majority of 16-year-olds here will | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Pass rates are impressive, so too is the choice. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
I think one of the key benefits for those coming to study | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
here is the wide variety of learning opportunities that we offer. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
We offer over 40 different A-level subjects here. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Reports do show that further education colleges perform | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
But there's also a financial motive here in the face of funding cuts | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
The pressure is on the further education | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
sector, on financial pressures across Wales. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
There are small sixth forms in many areas, so many people | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
are thinking it would be a good thing to take some | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
and put them in the further education sector, which helps the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
sector in question in financial terms. | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
Ukip supports a move towards | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
The Lib Dems say both and then there's to be | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
healthy competition between schools and colleges, but the council says | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
It is not a good position at the moment. | :04:38. | :04:55. | |
Feelings in Haverfordwest are running high. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
protests are calling for the choice of both college and school. | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Our Education Correspondent Bethan Lewis is here. | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
education is obviously a hugely important issue | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
It comes down to finances, doesn't it? It affects most policy issues. | :05:16. | :05:28. | |
And if we look at schools in particular, we have... You have the | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
Welsh Government's perspective which says it is protecting spending on | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
schools despite the squeeze on the Welsh Government's Budget and says | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
that have led to an investment of about ?100 million extra over the | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
past five years and is promising something similar in the next five | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
years. Then you have other parties saying there is a decade of | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
underfunding in Welsh education compared suing gun. The teaching | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
unions are talking about the squeeze on school budgets and about teacher | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
redundancies. None of the other parties are promising huge | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
investment or extra money and funding. Because there but it said | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
it would redirect the money to the classroom, and Ukip talk about this | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
massive underspend on classroom, and Ukip talk about this | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Lib Dems say they will protect the education Budget. And what about the | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Labour candidate to suggested there could be a cut to a student funding? | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
This is a debate about the ?5,000 also that the Welsh Government gives | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
to students from Wales towards their fees. All the other part apart, | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Labour said they would scrap it and replace it with another system, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
because it is too expensive. Labour said they would keep its for now and | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
wait until the student Finance review report is back. The other | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
parties saying they are not being upfront with the electorate about | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
this. But the deputy skills Minister Julie James said today it is the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
first time we heard this from Labour that it could also be only lead to a | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
put in what students get. But they are still saying it will mean a | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Welsh Tudors get better support than English students. In terms of what | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
the other parties are saying, the Lib Dems and Conservatives say they | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
would get more help to living costs, Plaid Cymru said they would write | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
off some of the debt on students who come back to Wales and | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
off some of the debt on students who would give more help to students | :07:29. | :07:28. | |
studying science and maths. The Welsh Conservatives have | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
launched their Assembly Election manifesto, promising to spend more | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
every year on the NHS. The extra funding would come | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
from a cut in the Welsh Government's Our political correspondent | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Daniel Davies reports from Wrexham. Good morning, everyone. Hoping to | :07:39. | :07:53. | |
take a chunk out of Labour, the Welsh Conservatives launched their | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
manifesto at a company that makes play equipment. A couple of things | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
strike me about the launch of this manifesto, first the location in | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Wrexham, the Tory think there are key seats in north-east Wales I will | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
decide the outcome of this election, and secondly, there are promises in | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
this manifesto to good income tax. Those powers are on their way to the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Assembly. Cutting income tax and increasing spending on the NHS, and | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
of well, not that will, for free. This is what is inside. Health | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
spending would rise every year under the five-year term of a Welsh Tory | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Government. That will be partly funded by cutting the Budget for | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
students who would get a rent rebate instead of having their Jewish and | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
fees subsidised. The Tories would really judge 's prescription charges | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
for people who can afford to pay, including those on the higher rate | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
of income tax. The Conservatives say they would offer money to councils | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
to freeze council tax and they have outlined what they call an | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
aspiration to cut income tax when the Assembly gets the power after | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
five years. How much money are you going to cut to fund this manifesto? | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
It is not about cutting, but re-prioritising. The Welsh | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
Government 's Budget is ultimately a fixed amount of money, about 15 | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
billion a year. It is a fixed amount and we would re-prioritise that to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
protect the NHS in real terms increase over the five years so | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
commissioners can recommission service, we would get rid of | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Labour's cap on learning. Recently, events in Westminster have not | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
helped the Tories. The Cabinet resignation over disability | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
benefits, the crisis in the steel industry, questions about the Prime | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Minister's tax affairs. Mr Davies hopes that voters will not be swayed | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
by that when they are in the polling booth next month. | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
Our Health Correspondent Owain Clarke is here. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Owain, the Tories have wanted to see the health | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Budget protected here as it is in England, | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
Health really matters to people, doesn't it? You only need to talk to | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
people in this town about their fears for the local hospital to | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
understand that precisely. But when you talk about health finances, you | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
talk about big numbers very, very quickly. The local health board here | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
in West Wales spends almost ?2000 per person on caring for people. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Independent analysis has shown us in the early years, the health Budget | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
in Wales was cut, it went up in England, even though social care was | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
not protected here. What we saw was performance dip during that time, | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
even though millions were later pumped back in. The Tories are | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
saying with this pledge that a if elected would not let that happen. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
The problem for them is all the parties in the race this time are | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
pledging millions more for the NHS. And if you are not a health | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
economist and just coming to this wondering how to vote and make sense | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
of it, the big question is do the add up? 46% of the entire money | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
spent in Wales, the Welsh Budget is spent, but we know demand is | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
increasing all the time. The question is, how much higher than at | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
go before things like economic development, jobs, education, | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
leisure, sport get endangered? The very services which are supposed to | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
keep us healthy in the first place. Thank you. | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
Elsewhere on the campaign trail today, | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
the Welsh Liberal Democrats have been in Swansea, | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
launching a package of policies designed to improving the lives | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
The policies include better education in schools on issues | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
Plaid Cymru visited a brewery in Caerphilly and have outlined | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
a plan to cut the Welsh deficit and close the economic gap between | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
It includes measures such as investing in infrastructure. | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
Nick Servini, our political editor, is also here now. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
This part of Wales is very important in this election campaign, isn't it? | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
It is. I think one reason is it is the most westerly constituency in | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Wales and a lot of people feel very remote. One of the big points of | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
devolution was to bring politics closer to people and yet one of the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
criticisms we hear time and time again is that Cardiff Bay at time as | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
fields as remote as Westminster ever did. So connected to that, one of | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
the Billy big issues that I always get whenever I to cover story is | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
transport, partly a feature of the rural economy, how important tourism | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
is for this part of whalers and politically, this is now Tory | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
territory. -- this part of Wales. We have thought about how the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Conservatives will fare here. It is a mixed bag at the moment, not | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
necessarily the best start for them, partly because of features outside | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
their control, but on the flip side, they have the opportunity to really | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
call upon a local story which is what is going at in terms of | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
reorganisation to some of the services in the local hospital and | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
we will have more on that later. Thank you. Well, our tent is for | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
tonight and the BBC tent has been for all day. There was a lively | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
debate among some candidates on radio Wales at lunchtime, tensions | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
were running high as local is use were debated. We will have much more | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
from Pembrokeshire later in the programme. Lucy has spent today | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
asking you what you want from the politicians. Thank you. Hundreds of | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
you have been in search with your My Manifesto 2016 ideas. The is use | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
that you want these people, the party leaders to take on board. I've | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
been speaking to people who are fighting for the hospital services. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
More from them later in the programme, but first, the rest of | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
today's news. An inquest into the death of Welsh | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
soldier, Cheryl James, has been told it's | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
"likely" she was holding a rifle to her head before | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
she died at Deepcut Barracks A ballistics expert said | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
the 18-year-old from Llangollen had injuries consistent with a gunshot | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
fired from close range. Paul Heaney reports | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
from Woking Coroner's Court. The army quickly concluded she had | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
died by suicide. But new evidence about the circumstances of Cheryl | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
James's death has led to this new inquest. Now in its final week. The | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
focus today is on scientific evidence about the rifle which lay | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
here close to where Private James's body was found, about that bullet | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
the rifle fired and the fatal injury it caused. David Pryor, a ballistics | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
expert with four decades of experience, but in 2002, he was | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
asked to consider statements on photographs given to him by police. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
It is his strong opinion that Private James held the gun to her | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
own head, but he could not completely rule out third-party | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
involvement. This woman is a weapons expert and after Cheryl's body was | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
exhumed doublet fragments recovered, she concluded it was likely the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
gunshot was self-inflicted, pointing to injuries on Private James's | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
hands. She told the court the injuries were indistinguishable from | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
her hand been on the muzzle of the gun when it was fired. In my | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
opinion, she said, the muzzle was at contact or near contact to Mr | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
James's phase at the time of discharge. After two and a half | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
months, the coroner has now heard some of the strongest scientific | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
evidence yet that Private James may have shot herself. In the opinion of | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
two experts here today, the gunshot wound that killed her was | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
self-inflicted. But this is a complicated case. Whilst we've heard | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
a lot about scientific probabilities and possibilities today, the coroner | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
will also have to consider in his verdict or conclusion next month | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
about the kind of environment Cheryl James found herself in in the Army | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
more than 20 years ago. The inquest continues. | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
The sister of a businessman from Wrexham who's been missing | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
in Peru for 11 days says it's "out of character" for him | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
Harry Greaves was last seen on the 7th of April | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
after telling friends he was going to trek up | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
A helicopter has been looking for him and his mother and cousin | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Harry is a person who everybody knows | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
thinks of him as one of the | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
most compassionate and thoughtful people we know. | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
We have one sighting, hearing of how he left, heading for | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
the region he said he was heading for. | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
We have no sightings after that, so at the moment, | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
If anyone knows how that search can be | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
narrowed, then please let somebody know. | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
The Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns visited steelworkers | :16:51. | :16:51. | |
He told them the UK and Welsh governments were making every effort | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
to secure the future of the steel industry there and at the Tata | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
plants at Port Talbot, Trostre and Llanwern. | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Tata put their UK operations up for sale last week, | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
putting thousands of jobs under threat. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
An investigation's underway after three prisoners climbed | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
The incident started yesterday morning and lasted | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
The Prison Service says the men have now been segregated and have | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
Ministry of Justice officials denied the protest had been linked | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
The chief executive of the Football Association of Wales | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
says he hopes they're closer to agreeing a new deal | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
Jonathan Ford was speaking at the launch of a new grassroots | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
scheme aimed at getting 30,000 young people to play | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
Chris Coleman's contract ends after the European Championships. | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
He's absolutely always been part of our plans, | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
see Chris leading our team on the course to the World Cup | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
campaign, which starts early in September. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
On the second day of Glamorgan's opening | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
Championship match of the season, Leicesteshire have reached | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
That's in response to Glamorgan's first innings total of 348. | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
I'll be back with our updates at 8pm and after the BBC News at Ten. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
But let's get back to Haverfordwest now, the first stop on our two-week | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
tour of Wales, where we can join Lucy. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
We've been asking you what you would do | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
if you were First Minister, as party of My Manifesto 2016. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
People here tonight have lots of ideas. | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
There will be lots of these cards going in this book. One issue that | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
keeps raising its head time and time again for people I've spoken to is | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
the loss of some services at the hospital and at the weekend, | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
campaigners from this area once again took their protest to Cardiff | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Bay. When it comes to standing up for | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
what they want, people from Pembrokeshire are not afraid of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
speaking out. Save our services! Hundreds of protesters have turned | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
up here. They want 24-hour children's care, and other number, | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
children admitted overnight at this hospital are sent elsewhere and | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
these protesters want to change. Mark amid the journey to Cardiff | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
with his children. If I was First Minister for whalers, one of the | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
things I would do is definitely return for essential services | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
things I would do is definitely to this hospital. One night seven | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
years ago, Mark's eldest daughter was hospitalised following a serious | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
seizure. If that was to happen today, where paediatric care is a | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
part-time, and I dread to think what would happen to my little girl if | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
I'm honest. If they could serve this hospital I'll be really happy. | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
Because all to lead maternity unit was also moved two years ago. I have | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
had both my children here, both Caesareans and both children will | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
not have survived if I had had to be transferred to another hospital. You | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
may not have been talking to me here today. I wouldn't have thought so | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
and I definitely wouldn't have had a six-year-old son. They say the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
majority of emergency cases involving children are treated here. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
And Labour say people are getting a better service. The Welsh | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and Ukip all said they | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
would return a full-time paediatric and consultant led maternity care to | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
the hospital. But it is not just health on the agenda here in | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Haverfordwest. People have been telling me about a lot of different | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
issues that they want included in my manifesto -- My Manifesto 2016, | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
including the future of this high Street. My worry is that the town is | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
dying, you know? The shops are closed. If I was First Minister I | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
would support the high Street. If I was First Minister, I would create | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
more jobs and promote tourism. Pembrokeshire has a long association | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
with the Armed Forces and on the high Street, I met Barry John who | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
served for 25 years. He has now set up an arts centre to help former | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
servicemen and women. It is important to support veterans, not | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
just of mental health issues, but across-the-board. If I was the First | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Minister, I would create more support. People in Haverfordwest | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
have had their say and we want to hear from you about what you would | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
do if you were First Minister. We certainly do and this | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
is how you can be a part You can get in touch on email, | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
[email protected]. You can also write to us at BBC | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Wales Today, Broadcasting House, We'll be passing on YOUR ideas | :21:54. | :22:07. | |
to whoever's in charge of the Welsh Government, | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
from May the 6th. Nick, talking to people today, | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
it's clear that feelings are running That's writes. Two things in the | :22:16. | :22:33. | |
term of the NHS, the whalers wide issues and strong local issues and | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
probably in Haverfordwest, it is arguably more passionate than | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
anywhere else across Wales. It can get pretty brutal for labour at | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
times and the regional candidate at lunchtime today took part in a radio | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
Wales postings, nearly got shouted down. The same thing happened in the | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
radio debate in Pembroke Dock in January. For the other parties, they | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
can tap into this anger and make a connection between the decision made | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
locally and it's being symptomatic of a kind of Wales- wider malaise in | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
the NHS. Very difficult for Labour and what has been the Welsh | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Government to try and justify the decision on a medical grounds and | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
counterintuitively, in a way, try and persuade people that the best | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
thing for them is to be treated further away from where they live. | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
Next, thank you. Well, the sun is starting to go down here in | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Haverfordwest. It has been a dry all day but it is a little bit chilly. | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Behnaz is on the side of the River Cleddau | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
It has not been the warmest day in Haverfordwest, but it has been a dry | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
across much of a whalers today and high pressure is in charge of our | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
weather this week. And with that we can look forward to a lots of dry | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
weather, some sunshine turning more unsettled by the time we get to the | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
end of the week. Tonight, very little change and we will hang on to | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the cloud and I will stop temperatures from falling too much. | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
Around five Celsius, and a frost free night thanks to the cloud. It | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
has been a breezy today, free night thanks to the cloud. It | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
should ease off by tomorrow morning. The pressure shot for tomorrow is | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
showing high pressure across much of Wales and with that, we can look | :24:17. | :24:17. | |
forward to a settled they and if Wales and with that, we can look | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
anything, it will feel warmer as we start to see more sunshine. But it | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
is not wall-to-wall blue sky tomorrow. We will see a bit of cloud | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
and by the time we go into the afternoon, some riders coming | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
through and it will feel a tad warmer than today with the lighter | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
winds. With the sunshine, it will feel pleasant and highs of 11-13dC. | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
Tomorrow night, that cloud clears and underneath the clear skies and | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
with the light winds, we will see to be just robbing it again. It will be | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
chilly into the early hours of Wednesday and we will see a touch of | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
frost forming and also the potential for some of this and fog as well. As | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
we head into Wednesday, which is likely to be the best day of the | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
week, it will feel warmer, temperatures getting up to 16 | :25:04. | :25:15. | |
Celsius, there will be sunshine around, but yet again, not blue | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
skies, but certainly more sunshine in comparison with today and | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
tomorrow. Feeling pleasant out and about through Wednesday. By | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
Thursday, the pressure chart is showing a weather front to the south | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
of Wales and it will turn a bit more unsettled by the time we go into | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Thursday. Thursday, a bright start, sunshine on and off through the day, | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
by the time we've each Thursday evening, that's frontal push-up from | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the south bringing rain to south Wales through Thursday night and | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
into the early hours of Friday morning. Friday is looking unsettled | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
with a mixture of rain and windy conditions and then we will see the | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
return of the colder, more Arctic air by the time we get to the | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
weekend. Back to you, Lucy. It is a lovely evening here in | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
Haverfordwest. But we are about to hit the road, heading from here to | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
the discovery cafe on the coastal path. | :26:06. | :26:06. | |
Then onto MachynIleth, Anglesey and Wrexham | :26:07. | :26:07. | |
And we'll also be on the road next week. | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
If you live in any of these areas we would love to see you. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
And that's Wales Today, live from Haverfordwest | :26:16. | :26:16. | |
