Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines -

:00:00.:00:00.

Accused of forcing vulnerable men to do heavy labour

:00:00.:00:07.

against their will - four men go on trial.

:00:08.:00:11.

A "plan for prosperity" which will "get the country moving" -

:00:12.:00:15.

Capping the cost - Calls for mobile phone companies

:00:16.:00:17.

to help people stop getting into debt and to make

:00:18.:00:20.

All in all, they've taken ?2,500 in two months of extra

:00:21.:00:23.

We'll also be in training with triathlete Helen Jenkins,

:00:24.:00:30.

who's setting her sights on the Rio Olympics.

:00:31.:00:34.

And we're in Llanelli on the second day of our two-week tour of Wales.

:00:35.:00:40.

We're looking at jobs and training, and finding out what the political

:00:41.:00:43.

parties have to say ahead of the election.

:00:44.:01:02.

The trial has begun of four people accused of forcing two vulnerable

:01:03.:01:06.

men to carry out heavy labour under threat of violence.

:01:07.:01:10.

Cardiff Crown Court heard the men slept in cold sheds and on concrete

:01:11.:01:13.

floors and would be beaten if they refused to carry

:01:14.:01:16.

The jury was told one of them lived in those conditions for 26 years.

:01:17.:01:22.

Patrick Joseph Connors, now 59, run it or making business. Today the

:01:23.:01:41.

prosecution said he chose vulnerable customers, charged inflated prices

:01:42.:01:46.

and forced two men to work against their will -- tarmacking business.

:01:47.:01:51.

He also renovated properties. When he bought a farm on the outskirts of

:01:52.:01:55.

Cardiff the prosecution say it was derelict and the men lived there

:01:56.:01:59.

with no running water and no heat. Such were the conditions they in

:02:00.:02:04.

Jordan over a long period, it was said, one tried to escape four

:02:05.:02:16.

times. When he ran away, he was spotted, forced into a car and

:02:17.:02:18.

brought back. He was threatened with beating and told when he was gone

:02:19.:02:21.

that no one would miss him. The other man, it was said, ran away to

:02:22.:02:24.

Scotland but was picked up in Aberdeen, put in a car boot and

:02:25.:02:26.

later beaten. The prosecution said after this he thought he would never

:02:27.:02:31.

be free. Conditions, say the prosecution, were appalling. For

:02:32.:02:34.

years, the men worked long hours living in sheds, garages and tin

:02:35.:02:40.

huts, ill or injured, they were forced to work, treated like objects

:02:41.:02:45.

which could be abused, it was said. The court heard when interviewed by

:02:46.:02:49.

police, Patrick Joseph Connors denied any wrongdoing and insisted

:02:50.:02:53.

he had looked after the two Manuel and paid them properly. He has

:02:54.:02:57.

pleaded not guilty to eight counts of assault, four of kidnap and one

:02:58.:03:02.

of conspiracy to kidnap. All four defendants deny all the charges

:03:03.:03:07.

against them including one count of forced or compulsory Labour. The

:03:08.:03:08.

case is expected to last six weeks. A mother of two from Merthyr Tydfil

:03:09.:03:12.

died after taking drugs to help her lose weight,

:03:13.:03:14.

an inquest has heard. Kirsty Hughes, who was 26,

:03:15.:03:16.

collapsed at home after taking Her family told the inquest she had

:03:17.:03:19.

been upset at being called fat, and she hoped the drug would help

:03:20.:03:23.

make her slim. A man from Wrexham who is missing

:03:24.:03:26.

in Peru was reportedly seen by a local man shortly

:03:27.:03:29.

after his family 29-year-old Harry Greaves went

:03:30.:03:31.

on a mountain walk on the 7th of April, and hasn't

:03:32.:03:35.

contacted his family since. The man says he saw him heading

:03:36.:03:38.

towards the village of Pisac, where teams are now

:03:39.:03:41.

focussing the search. Mr Greaves' MP, Ian Lucas,

:03:42.:03:43.

highlighted the case in Parliament. We are all pulling together

:03:44.:03:49.

to ensure that the Peruvian government, the embassy staff

:03:50.:03:52.

on the ground and the Foreign Office in the UK are working together to do

:03:53.:03:56.

everything that we can There is a huge amount of work

:03:57.:03:59.

being done by the family. Harry's mother has gone over

:04:00.:04:05.

there with his cousin. They have raised publicity in the

:04:06.:04:19.

area so people in per room know that Harry is missing. -- people in Peru.

:04:20.:04:24.

The Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones says his party has the ideas

:04:25.:04:27.

Launching its Assembly election manifesto at Coleg y Cymoedd

:04:28.:04:31.

in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Labour said it would

:04:32.:04:32.

"continue to deliver jobs and investment".

:04:33.:04:34.

Our Political Reporter Paul Martin was there.

:04:35.:04:36.

Here at Coleg y Cymoedd in Nantgarw, they're training the aviation

:04:37.:04:38.

Last summer, Welsh Labour suffered something of a crash landing

:04:39.:04:42.

at the general election, but the party says it's now

:04:43.:04:44.

on a different flight path after talking to voters.

:04:45.:04:50.

The details of that journey are published here today.

:04:51.:04:53.

A new NHS treatment fund for life-threatening illnesses.

:04:54.:04:59.

An extension of Labour's programme to build or modernise schools.

:05:00.:05:03.

A commitment to bring fast broadband to every property in Wales.

:05:04.:05:08.

30 hours of free childcare for parents of three- and four-year-olds

:05:09.:05:11.

And another 100,000 apprenticeships, open to people of all ages.

:05:12.:05:18.

After 17 years in power, the obvious question to Labour

:05:19.:05:24.

whenever it comes up with a new policy is,

:05:25.:05:27.

But Carwyn Jones told me the party is still full of fresh ideas.

:05:28.:05:34.

We need to build on what we've done, that's true, but what we didn't do

:05:35.:05:38.

"Vote for us because we're a bit better than the rest."

:05:39.:05:41.

We have six pledges that are ambitious, that

:05:42.:05:45.

We can't promise any number of pie-in-the-sky ideas,

:05:46.:05:48.

because people expect us to deliver on them, so it is a question

:05:49.:05:51.

of building on what we've done so far and also of course looking

:05:52.:05:54.

The manifesto is also interesting because of what's not in it.

:05:55.:05:58.

There is a promise to build an M4 relief road, but no commitment

:05:59.:06:02.

And on redrawing the council map, as expected, there's

:06:03.:06:08.

a promise to cut the number of local authorities,

:06:09.:06:10.

but the manifesto doesn't say how many there will be.

:06:11.:06:16.

Keeping these pledges may raise a few eyebrows, but it also gives

:06:17.:06:20.

Labour some wriggle room if it needs to work with other parties

:06:21.:06:22.

-- keeping these pledges they may raise a few eyebrows.

:06:23.:06:30.

And Paul's here now with more detail on one of those policies -

:06:31.:06:33.

the party's plan for an M4 relief road.

:06:34.:06:35.

Yes, the idea of an M4 relief road to ease congestion is around Newport

:06:36.:06:42.

is one of the longest running sagas in Welsh politics. It has been

:06:43.:06:46.

promised for years but nothing has happened. Labour over the last five

:06:47.:06:51.

years was committed to what is known as the black Root, a new stretch of

:06:52.:06:56.

motorway around Newport costing around ?1 billion. While in

:06:57.:07:02.

Government party spent millions of pounds on preparation, but there is

:07:03.:07:07.

no commitment to that route in the manifesto. The interesting thing

:07:08.:07:11.

politically as the position of the other parties. The Lib Dems, Plaid

:07:12.:07:15.

Cymru and Ukip are against the Black Root and would prefer the upgrade of

:07:16.:07:20.

an existing a road while the Welsh Conservatives are yet to decide what

:07:21.:07:23.

they favour. The key point is that after the 5th of May, if no party

:07:24.:07:28.

has overall control in the Assembly, some sort of deal will have to be

:07:29.:07:34.

done if any road takes place, so Labour has kept its options open,

:07:35.:07:38.

but one thing is clear, this long-running debate over whether a

:07:39.:07:43.

relief road will happen and what it might look like is not going away.

:07:44.:07:45.

Paul, thank you. The leader of the Liberal Democrats

:07:46.:07:46.

in the UK says his party is on the up after last year's

:07:47.:07:49.

catastrophic General Tim Farron was at a building company

:07:50.:07:51.

in Brecon as part of a two-day tour of some of his party's key Assembly

:07:52.:07:55.

target seats in its traditional He said that party membership

:07:56.:07:58.

in Wales had increased The Welsh Conservatives have

:07:59.:08:01.

defended their claim that savings of ?1 billion in the NHS,

:08:02.:08:08.

or 14 per cent of the entire budget, The party says the efficiency

:08:09.:08:11.

savings would be reinvested back The other parties have described

:08:12.:08:20.

them as "wild and ridiculous." Our Political Editor,

:08:21.:08:23.

Nick Servini, is at the Senedd. Nick, how much of

:08:24.:08:25.

a challenge is this? We talk about the size of the NHS

:08:26.:08:39.

budget all the time, we talk about a system that is under strain, but we

:08:40.:08:43.

don't talk about efficiency savings that much, partly I think because it

:08:44.:08:47.

is predicated on a degree of waste in the system. That changed today

:08:48.:08:53.

with these I catching claims from the Welsh Conservatives that there

:08:54.:08:57.

is up to ?1 billion of waste in the budget, 14% of the entire amount

:08:58.:09:02.

spent on it every year in Wales. The party says they haven't just magic.

:09:03.:09:06.

That figure, it comes from comments made by a senior NHS manager to a

:09:07.:09:12.

committee at the Assembly seven years ago. What's more, they say

:09:13.:09:16.

those comments seven years ago are just as relevant now as they were

:09:17.:09:22.

back then. The leader in Wales, Andrew Arty Davies, has outlined

:09:23.:09:25.

some ways they could make those savings. Whatever way you try to do

:09:26.:09:31.

it, it is a hugely ambitious figure. Since 1970, the average efficiency

:09:32.:09:35.

savings in the NHS across the UK have been just 1%. It is currently

:09:36.:09:49.

3% in Wales, 3% in England, and they are struggling to meet it in

:09:50.:09:51.

England. Adam Roberts from the think tank the Health Foundation outlined

:09:52.:09:54.

to me how difficult it is to achieve even a relatively modest 3% saving.

:09:55.:09:57.

It needs a clear strategy for how this can be achieved.

:09:58.:10:00.

It's very easy for politicians to say,

:10:01.:10:02.

"We will achieve 3% efficiency growth,"

:10:03.:10:03.

but without a clear plan of where these things

:10:04.:10:05.

are going to come from and how, crucially, staff are going to be

:10:06.:10:08.

supported to achieve these savings, without that credible plan,

:10:09.:10:11.

it makes it very hard to understand how that higher

:10:12.:10:13.

What have the other party said on this issue? Plaid Cymru were the

:10:14.:10:25.

first of the parties when they publish their manifesto to talk

:10:26.:10:29.

about efficiency savings. They have come up with a figure of ?300

:10:30.:10:34.

million, about 4%. The Liberal Democrats say the current savings

:10:35.:10:38.

are reasonable, but really don't want to get sucked into speculation

:10:39.:10:44.

made up figures, as they call it. Labour today have described

:10:45.:10:49.

efficiency savings as a euphemism for cuts, while Ukip say they would

:10:50.:10:53.

introduce a review to try to introduce any waste -- reduce waste

:10:54.:10:57.

in the system. Clearly all the parties accept that some degree of

:10:58.:11:02.

savings have to be made. The difference of opinion is in how much

:11:03.:11:05.

and exactly how to do it. Nick, thank you.

:11:06.:11:07.

There's still much more to come before 7:00pm.

:11:08.:11:09.

Putting four years of injuries well behind her -

:11:10.:11:11.

former world champion triathlete Helen Jenkins sets her sights

:11:12.:11:13.

And we can look forward to lengthy spells of sunshine tomorrow, but is

:11:14.:11:26.

it going to last? Full details in a few minutes.

:11:27.:11:28.

The mobile phone industry needs to be better regulated to stop

:11:29.:11:31.

people falling into debt, a charity has warned.

:11:32.:11:33.

Citizens Advice Cymru also told BBC Wales that action is needed to stop

:11:34.:11:36.

mobile phone companies using what appear to be "bullying

:11:37.:11:39.

When Dr Geoff Lloyd took out a mobile phone contract

:11:40.:11:48.

for his 17-year-old son, he says he was told by the phone

:11:49.:11:50.

company EE that the contract was capped at ?13.99 a month.

:11:51.:11:55.

However, he ended up having to pay more than ?3,500.

:11:56.:11:59.

He was gobsmacked, he said, when he received a letter

:12:00.:12:02.

from his bank saying that EE were trying to withdraw ?1,500

:12:03.:12:06.

I thought it must be a dreadful mistake, so I went to the bank,

:12:07.:12:11.

only to find that they'd already taken ?1,000 out the month before,

:12:12.:12:14.

and then several hundred pounds out previous to that, too.

:12:15.:12:19.

So all in all, they've taken ?2,500 in two months of extra charges.

:12:20.:12:26.

It turned out that the contract wasn't capped, and that Dr Lloyd's

:12:27.:12:28.

son had used more minutes than he was allowed,

:12:29.:12:31.

so Dr Lloyd came here to the shop where he had signed a contract

:12:32.:12:34.

He was told he'd have to phone customer services,

:12:35.:12:40.

but he said despite calling lots of times, he found it

:12:41.:12:42.

very difficult to speak to anyone directly,

:12:43.:12:44.

and while he was in the process of disputing the debt,

:12:45.:12:47.

I had a letter arriving on my doorstep saying that first of all,

:12:48.:12:53.

they were going to destroy my credit ratings if I didn't pay

:12:54.:12:57.

And then a week later, a further letter saying

:12:58.:13:01.

that they were going to send bailiffs around to collect goods

:13:02.:13:06.

EE lost the case in the Small Claims Court,

:13:07.:13:10.

and had to pay Dr Lloyd more than ?3,700.

:13:11.:13:14.

Citizens Advice deals with 62,000 similar complaints a year.

:13:15.:13:18.

A credit card company will look at how much you can afford to pay,

:13:19.:13:25.

and they will set a limit for that credit card.

:13:26.:13:28.

We think that should happen with mobile phones as well.

:13:29.:13:31.

They should look at how much you are able to afford,

:13:32.:13:34.

and they should cap that bill, then, for example at ?30 a month.

:13:35.:13:38.

EE says the contract wasn't capped, and clearly stated that extra calls

:13:39.:13:41.

It says there are many ways to monitor usage,

:13:42.:13:47.

and options to control spending, such as pay-as-you-go.

:13:48.:13:50.

Automated letters were sent because the industry adjudicator

:13:51.:13:51.

The regulator, Ofcom, says it's working with providers and citizens

:13:52.:13:58.

But Dr Lloyd is still worried about others in similar situations.

:13:59.:14:06.

evicted and made homeless, and for a company to use these

:14:07.:14:14.

bullying tactics to extract these iniquitous sums from people who have

:14:15.:14:23.

gone over without realising they could...

:14:24.:14:26.

With the Assembly election just over two weeks away,

:14:27.:14:33.

we're travelling the length and breadth of the country

:14:34.:14:35.

exploring the issues that matter in your community.

:14:36.:14:37.

After starting our tour in Haverfordwest yesterday,

:14:38.:14:39.

today's stop is Llanelli, where we can join Jamie now.

:14:40.:14:41.

We're on the beautiful Loughor Estuary between

:14:42.:14:45.

This area has been in the headlines because of the uncertainty

:14:46.:14:51.

So jobs and employment are very much at the front of people's minds

:14:52.:14:58.

as we get closer to the Assembly election in just over two weeks.

:14:59.:15:03.

Our business correspondent, Brian Meechan, has been to one

:15:04.:15:06.

company to find out how it's training its workforce.

:15:07.:15:12.

At Castell Howell Foods, cut the carcass badly and it

:15:13.:15:17.

Its new butchery facility near Llanelli has been operating

:15:18.:15:20.

Staff are trained here and also study at training centres as part

:15:21.:15:25.

This company's been operating for just over 30 years,

:15:26.:15:30.

and is one of the biggest employers in the area.

:15:31.:15:35.

It now has 600 staff, and sales of over ?94 million a year.

:15:36.:15:38.

When the company started its boning line in 2008, the shortage

:15:39.:15:44.

of skilled butchers meant it recruited from Eastern Europe.

:15:45.:15:50.

Migrant workers make up around 5% of the total workforce.

:15:51.:15:54.

Those butchers are now passing on their skills to a new generation

:15:55.:15:58.

of young people, like 19-year-old apprentice Dewi Davies.

:15:59.:16:02.

When I left school at 16 I thought, "I'll become a butcher now,

:16:03.:16:06.

nice good trade, and I can go anywhere with it," and I started

:16:07.:16:09.

working here down in Carmarthen, then came up here to

:16:10.:16:11.

Well, just developed my skills as a butcher, really.

:16:12.:16:16.

Middle managers also attend leadership courses at

:16:17.:16:19.

Companies have to when sure that workers are trained

:16:20.:16:24.

continuously from director level to the shop floor.

:16:25.:16:29.

Castell Howell is now setting up a butchery academy

:16:30.:16:33.

It started with an assessment in literacy and numeracy, so that

:16:34.:16:37.

would give you the foundation to progress to be NVQ level two,

:16:38.:16:40.

So the classroom training is supplemented by on-the-block

:16:41.:16:47.

training, so we get the best of both worlds.

:16:48.:16:50.

Skills are in short supply across the country.

:16:51.:16:53.

Around third of vacancies in Wales are described as hard to fill.

:16:54.:16:56.

But at 31%, it's a bit lower than the UK average of 33%.

:16:57.:17:01.

Staff training is also increasing, but there are still skills shortages

:17:02.:17:03.

in writing and understanding instructions and with

:17:04.:17:05.

Wales performs better on computer literacy

:17:06.:17:12.

and IT than other parts of the UK, though.

:17:13.:17:15.

But many small businesses argued that it's easier

:17:16.:17:18.

for the bigger companies to absorb the cost of training.

:17:19.:17:21.

If we train a percentage of our workforce, then the time

:17:22.:17:26.

of the shop floor would be no different to a smaller business.

:17:27.:17:32.

If we train a percentage of our workforce, then the time off

:17:33.:17:35.

the shop floor would be no different to a smaller business.

:17:36.:17:37.

However, we'd like to see it as an investment in the staff.

:17:38.:17:40.

Larger firms need a conveyor belt of talent to keep the business

:17:41.:17:43.

going, but smaller ones can find it more difficult to commit the time

:17:44.:17:46.

and money needed to provide workers with more skills, especially

:17:47.:17:48.

when they may not be able to keep them afterwards.

:17:49.:17:51.

In the end, both will be looking to see how the parties are offering

:17:52.:17:54.

to help them do this in the next Assembly.

:17:55.:17:57.

Apprenticeships are of course the lifeblood of all businesses in

:17:58.:18:10.

Wales. That's right, businesses across Wales will tell you skills

:18:11.:18:13.

are one of the biggest issues they face in terms of trying to grow

:18:14.:18:18.

their businesses. That is the message from business groups. They

:18:19.:18:21.

have been lobbying the parties ahead of this election. In apprenticeships

:18:22.:18:26.

Labour have said they will create 100,000, Plaid Cymru 50,000, tens of

:18:27.:18:31.

thousands for the Liberal Democrats, thousands by the Conservatives. Ukip

:18:32.:18:34.

said they want vocational college training with businesses, which

:18:35.:18:46.

shows how central it is. I would say that Wales has a good reputation for

:18:47.:18:50.

apprenticeships in terms of quality. England have gone to the numbers

:18:51.:18:53.

game and perhaps not have the same quality. We have been understandably

:18:54.:18:55.

preoccupied with big business in this neck of the woods, Tata

:18:56.:18:57.

dominating for so long, but what have the political parties said

:18:58.:19:02.

about help for small businesses Mark Keller essentially all, certainly

:19:03.:19:08.

Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Lib Dem 's, have all said cutting business rates

:19:09.:19:12.

for the smallest companies will be helpful. That may have also talked

:19:13.:19:16.

about a development bank which small businesses were looking for, extra

:19:17.:19:22.

access finance after banks stopped lending. Thank you very much. We are

:19:23.:19:26.

spending the next two weeks travelling across Wales to find out

:19:27.:19:28.

about the issues that matter to you ahead of the Welsh

:19:29.:19:33.

election on the 5th of May, just over two weeks away. We have been

:19:34.:19:44.

have a food -- Haverfordwest, tonight in Llanelli, and tomorrow we

:19:45.:19:49.

will be in Machynlleth, looking at a job -- finding a job in all Wales.

:19:50.:19:52.

Here is Jennifer Jones with the rest of the day 's news.

:19:53.:19:54.

Two-time world triathlon champion Helen Jenkins says she's excited

:19:55.:19:58.

about moving on from four years of injuries and setbacks

:19:59.:20:00.

as she sets her sights on competing at this summer's Olympics.

:20:01.:20:03.

The Great Britain triathlon team will be confirmed in a few weeks,

:20:04.:20:06.

but after a gold medal in Australia recently, the 32-year-old from

:20:07.:20:08.

Bridgend is confident of her place, as Iwan Griffiths reports.

:20:09.:20:11.

Those moments when the alarm clock goes off at 5am and you're, like...

:20:12.:20:16.

But those 5am starts, hours on end in the water,

:20:17.:20:18.

on two wheels and on the road, set Helen apart when she put

:20:19.:20:23.

together a perfect race in the Australian leg

:20:24.:20:26.

Gold in the Gold Coast at exactly the right time for

:20:27.:20:34.

It's yet to be confirmed, but Jenkins is now confident she'll

:20:35.:20:39.

be on the plane to compete in her third Games.

:20:40.:20:44.

I didn't really believe it could happen, I was just focusing

:20:45.:20:46.

on just doing the best I could, I knew training had gone well

:20:47.:20:49.

and that's all I'd focused on, so after the race, it's been a bit

:20:50.:20:53.

of a shock to actually incorporate Rio into my consciousness.

:20:54.:20:56.

The two-time world champion is currently leading

:20:57.:20:58.

Helen Jenkins is back to her best after what's been

:20:59.:21:03.

It's not nice seeing your wife going to bed crying, waking up crying.

:21:04.:21:10.

We've got commitments to the federation, to

:21:11.:21:13.

sponsors, to deliver on what they are investing in,

:21:14.:21:16.

and fortunately now she has delivered on it, but it's not nice -

:21:17.:21:19.

it's not a great position to be in when you're working hard

:21:20.:21:22.

for something and your body just won't let you do it.

:21:23.:21:25.

Helen has a genetic problem with her back.

:21:26.:21:27.

It leads to fitness issues other athletes don't have to deal with.

:21:28.:21:30.

But recent injuries and disappointments mean

:21:31.:21:31.

the 32-year-old is laid back about her goals in Rio.

:21:32.:21:36.

I'm going to go and see what happens and enjoy it, and, yeah...

:21:37.:21:40.

If I came away with a medal, great, but if I didn't,

:21:41.:21:43.

I'm really happy with what I've achieved, so...

:21:44.:21:45.

For the Jenkinses, husband and wife, it's time for the perfect team

:21:46.:21:48.

Cardiff City manager Russell Slade says he's well aware

:21:49.:21:55.

of the importance of tonight's Championship match at Brentford.

:21:56.:21:59.

His side are five points adrift of Sheffield Wednesay

:22:00.:22:02.

in the final play-off position with four games remaining.

:22:03.:22:05.

Meanwhile, Newport County, who can guarantee League 2

:22:06.:22:08.

survival with a win, are up against Oxford

:22:09.:22:10.

There's just one Welshman remaining at the Snooker World Championship

:22:11.:22:16.

in Sheffield after Ryan Day was knocked out.

:22:17.:22:18.

He lost ten frames to three against four-time winner John Higgins.

:22:19.:22:22.

Mark Williams' second-round match on Friday will be against either

:22:23.:22:26.

The sun was shining in Llanelli this evening -

:22:27.:22:32.

I wonder how it's looking for the rest of us?

:22:33.:22:34.

Thank you. Most of us are enjoying fine evening sunshine tonight and we

:22:35.:22:45.

can look forward to another glorious day tomorrow. It will be another

:22:46.:22:49.

chilly start tomorrow morning but at least there is sunshine to help

:22:50.:22:53.

temperatures recover as the day goes on. Tonight, Fairweather cloud

:22:54.:22:56.

across the south tending to clear, most of us should see starry skies

:22:57.:23:01.

tonight and with light when maybe frost forming, also missed and fog

:23:02.:23:07.

into early tomorrow morning. Temperatures around two Celsius. The

:23:08.:23:11.

wind will be light as well. Tomorrow high-pressure in charge of the

:23:12.:23:22.

weather and we can look forward to dry and sunny conditions, a settled

:23:23.:23:24.

day. Low pressure to the south of us, taking charge through Thursday

:23:25.:23:26.

and Friday. Let's enjoy the high-pressure tomorrow! First thing

:23:27.:23:28.

tomorrow morning, for the fresh row -- rush-hour, sunshine and the

:23:29.:23:32.

south-east, and in the north-east the wind is light. A sunny morning

:23:33.:23:36.

for the rush-hour in the north coast, and in North West Wales we

:23:37.:23:42.

could see a breezy start, cold for most of us as well, fine and sunny

:23:43.:23:47.

in mid Wales, parts of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire,

:23:48.:23:50.

Swansea looking fine for the start of tomorrow as well. As the sunshine

:23:51.:23:55.

gets to work it will be warmer, so perhaps grabbed the sunscreen

:23:56.:23:58.

tomorrow. Lovely blue skies but also the wind picking up along the south

:23:59.:24:03.

coast. That will take the edge of the temperature. Around the coast

:24:04.:24:11.

feeling warm, temperatures 12-16dC, perhaps their weather cloud as we

:24:12.:24:14.

head into the afternoon. With that we could also see the odd shower.

:24:15.:24:20.

Temperatures 12-16dC. A cold night at first but cloud starts to

:24:21.:24:24.

increase from the South as we going to tomorrow night, which was the

:24:25.:24:28.

temperatures dropping to much. We still have clearer skies further

:24:29.:24:32.

north, so low single figures, two or three Celsius weather sky stays

:24:33.:24:37.

clear. Under the cloud, quad-mac- seven. -- 4-7. On Thursday the high

:24:38.:24:45.

pushed away by low pressure, so we would start to see the front

:24:46.:24:49.

approaching and the weather will change a little and we will lose the

:24:50.:24:53.

sunshine as well. First thing on Thursday, yes, a bright start but

:24:54.:24:57.

cloud will increase from the south, like rain or drizzle with that. The

:24:58.:25:02.

best dryer and brighter weather the further north you are. Temperatures

:25:03.:25:07.

not a spy, 11-14dC and the easterly breeze picking up, so a touch cooler

:25:08.:25:12.

than today. As we head into the weekend we will start to drag in

:25:13.:25:16.

colder, at De Gea, so with that, more brightness but it will feel

:25:17.:25:22.

colder as well and we will see the return of frosty nights. Enjoy the

:25:23.:25:25.

sunshine tomorrow, it is getting colder as we head to the weekend.

:25:26.:25:29.

A reminder of our top story tonight. The trial has begun four people

:25:30.:25:36.

forcing two vulnerable men to carry out heavy labour under threat of

:25:37.:25:39.

violence. Cardiff Crown Court heard they slept in sheds and on concrete

:25:40.:25:43.

floors and would be threatened with beating if they refuse to carry out

:25:44.:25:45.

their boss's demands. I'll be back with a quick

:25:46.:25:47.

update at 8:00pm, and more Thanks for watching,

:25:48.:25:50.

have a good evening

:25:51.:25:55.
