Tonight's headlines: The waiting is almost over and those looking

:00:00.:00:08.

to win seats at the Assembly have been making the final

:00:09.:00:10.

And Ryan Morse died of Addison's Disease.

:00:11.:00:13.

Two GP's go on trial accused of his manslaughter.

:00:14.:00:32.

The polls in the fifth National Assembly election will open

:00:33.:00:36.

All the main party leaders have been making the final push for votes.

:00:37.:00:41.

The day also saw a first visit to Wales during the campaign

:00:42.:00:43.

Here's our political correspondent, Daniel Davies.

:00:44.:00:52.

After 17 years in office, Labour hopes it will not be

:00:53.:00:57.

Divisions over anti-Semitism in the party won't help.

:00:58.:01:03.

Jeremy Corbyn was in Wales to campaign for the Ogmore

:01:04.:01:08.

Everyone with ideas, imagination is an electoral asset.

:01:09.:01:14.

All our thousands of members is an asset.

:01:15.:01:18.

We all are because we are the people.

:01:19.:01:21.

Polls put Labour in the lead in the Assembly election

:01:22.:01:24.

but it is braced for losses because support has slumped.

:01:25.:01:30.

We know the polls were wrong last year.

:01:31.:01:36.

From our perspective we will be working hard to maximise ourselves

:01:37.:01:39.

There have been Conservative divisions, too, over the EU.

:01:40.:01:49.

Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies has been visiting target seats

:01:50.:01:52.

Like bringing back prescription charges for people earning more

:01:53.:01:57.

We believe you have to invest in the key services by cancer

:01:58.:02:04.

services and stroke unit and it can't be right that

:02:05.:02:07.

a millionaire can get paracetamol or Bonjela on prescription,

:02:08.:02:10.

but cancer patients can't get the treatment they require,

:02:11.:02:13.

either to put the cancer in remission or give them valuable

:02:14.:02:15.

Leanne Wood has led Plaid Cymru for four years.

:02:16.:02:26.

She will need to make gains to have something to show

:02:27.:02:28.

Our manifesto is packed full of ideas that will transform our

:02:29.:02:32.

nation if we are given an opportunity to put them

:02:33.:02:35.

into practice and I would ask everybody out there,

:02:36.:02:37.

if they have not done it before, go out tomorrow and back Plaid Cymru.

:02:38.:02:44.

Nigel Farage in south Wales yesterday.

:02:45.:02:48.

He thinks Ukip can win at least five Assembly seats sending AMs

:02:49.:02:54.

There has been a Cardiff Bay concensus for the entire time

:02:55.:03:00.

It is time for a new party to go there and shake things up.

:03:01.:03:05.

We've said all along that we will do that.

:03:06.:03:10.

Feeling good today but what shape will the Liberal Democrats be

:03:11.:03:14.

They are battling to save seats including the mid Wales seat

:03:15.:03:19.

After 17 years of devolution and the promise that a government

:03:20.:03:25.

in Cardiff would understand the needs of the Welsh communities

:03:26.:03:29.

better than London ever could, especially the needs

:03:30.:03:32.

of our rural communities, we all know that has

:03:33.:03:34.

They might have to be friendlier to each other after the polls close.

:03:35.:03:42.

No one is expected to win outright control of the Assembly,

:03:43.:03:46.

so it is likely that whoever wants to run Wales will need to deal

:03:47.:03:49.

Two GPs have gone on trial accused of the manslaughter

:03:50.:03:56.

Ryan Morse, from Brynithel near Abertillery, died in December

:03:57.:04:01.

Cardiff Crown Court heard how Dr Lindsey Thomas

:04:02.:04:06.

and Dr Joanne Rudling failed to diagnose the condition.

:04:07.:04:08.

Ryan Morse was just days away from his 13th birthday when he died

:04:09.:04:15.

Cardiff Crown Court heard how he was fit and healthy.

:04:16.:04:21.

That was until the summer of 2012 when he started complaining

:04:22.:04:23.

of a bad head, a sore throat and aching legs.

:04:24.:04:27.

The court also heard his skin had become very discoloured.

:04:28.:04:30.

Ryan's mother, Carol, made several appointments at

:04:31.:04:34.

Abernant surgery in Abertillery, but his doctors failed

:04:35.:04:36.

The day before he died the jury heard she phoned the

:04:37.:04:41.

surgery twice to say his symptoms had become worse and he was unable

:04:42.:04:44.

He weighed just four stone and 11 pounds when he died.

:04:45.:04:50.

Two of his GPs, Dr Lindsey Thomas and Dr Joanne Rudling, are accused

:04:51.:04:53.

of manslaughter through gross negligence.

:04:54.:04:57.

Dr Rudling is also accused of altering Ryan's

:04:58.:05:02.

medical records in the days after his death.

:05:03.:05:04.

John Price QC, the prosecuting barrister,

:05:05.:05:06.

told the court Addison's disease is difficult

:05:07.:05:08.

the two doctors on duty that day should have

:05:09.:05:12.

Had they done that, he said, they would have

:05:13.:05:17.

confirmed the severity of the situation, they would have

:05:18.:05:20.

seen a very sick child in need of immediate attention.

:05:21.:05:22.

The trial is expected to last four weeks.

:05:23.:05:31.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said the UK Government

:05:32.:05:33.

is talking intensively with Tata Steel to ensure

:05:34.:05:36.

But he conceded there is a very short timetable.

:05:37.:05:40.

He was responding to questions from Aberavon MP, Stephen Kinnock,

:05:41.:05:43.

who asked what steps the Government was taking to make sure Tata

:05:44.:05:46.

was holding its promise to be a responsible seller.

:05:47.:05:52.

We need to work intensively with Tata and those buyers to get that

:05:53.:05:55.

list down to those who are really seriously intending

:05:56.:05:57.

But he is right, it is a very short timetable.

:05:58.:06:01.

talking intensively with Tata to make sure they do everything they

:06:02.:06:06.

can to make sure this is a serious sales process.

:06:07.:06:11.

Six men, including former Wales football international

:06:12.:06:13.

Mark Aizlewood and former Cardiff City player Paul Sugrue,

:06:14.:06:16.

have been charged in connection with a fraud involving

:06:17.:06:18.

It's alleged Lewis Michael Training Limited claimed payments from more

:06:19.:06:24.

than 100 Further Education Colleges and football clubs

:06:25.:06:28.

for training and education services it did not provide.

:06:29.:06:33.

A Newport councillor, suspended from the Labour Party,

:06:34.:06:35.

Miqdad Al-Nuaim's suspension came after tweets he wrote in 2014

:06:36.:06:40.

and 2015 came to light in which he was critical

:06:41.:06:43.

The Labour party say they are investigating the claims.

:06:44.:06:50.

It's being called one of the most significant archaeological finds

:06:51.:06:53.

A research team from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David

:06:54.:06:58.

are currently examining a set of antlers found on Borth

:06:59.:07:01.

beach, which they believe could be between 4,000

:07:02.:07:03.

Amazingly preserved, a set of red deer antlers

:07:04.:07:13.

which scientists believe dates back to the dawn of

:07:14.:07:16.

They were discovered here on Borth beach in Ceredigion.

:07:17.:07:22.

Geoarchaeologist, Doctor Martin Bates, leads his team

:07:23.:07:24.

to try and find out more along this rocky and sandy beach.

:07:25.:07:29.

But it is believed thousands of years ago this

:07:30.:07:32.

was a forest with an estuary running through it where the deer would have

:07:33.:07:36.

I've spent the last five or six years studying the geological

:07:37.:07:42.

deposits along the beach in Borth where there

:07:43.:07:44.

Cutting through the forest is a channel and it is from

:07:45.:07:50.

this channel these remains have come.

:07:51.:07:53.

The forest dates between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago.

:07:54.:07:56.

I think this channel is contemporary with that, of the same age.

:07:57.:08:00.

The antlers were spotted by holiday-makers visiting

:08:01.:08:01.

They photographed them from a distance as they were still

:08:02.:08:05.

They are now being examined by an archaeological research

:08:06.:08:11.

team at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David's

:08:12.:08:13.

Much of the material we get that is eroded out of the

:08:14.:08:18.

beaches, out of the estuaries around Wales...

:08:19.:08:20.

They expose bones, but bones often get rolled about.

:08:21.:08:26.

They often get washed out to sea, so we are very lucky to find them

:08:27.:08:29.

and very lucky to find them in such good condition.

:08:30.:08:34.

A tiny fragment of the antlers has been sent off to a laboratory in

:08:35.:08:38.

Florida to be radiocarbon dated to help date them.

:08:39.:08:41.

The archaeological team here believe this is already

:08:42.:08:44.

one of the most significant finds in the area in around 60 years.

:08:45.:08:50.

A chick born at the Dyfi Valley osprey breeding programme in 2013

:08:51.:08:53.

which migrated the same year has returned to Wales.

:08:54.:08:57.

Clarach landed in the nest at Glaslyn, near Porthmadog,

:08:58.:09:00.

Alwyn Evans from the team running the project spoke to our reporter,

:09:01.:09:05.

They've called it a "milestone" in efforts to re-colonise

:09:06.:09:09.

It's the first osprey from the Dyfi next that has flown

:09:10.:09:15.

They normally stay in West Africa for two or three years, but

:09:16.:09:21.

it's the first ever sighting of her or any other Dyfi chick we've had.

:09:22.:09:25.

It was a red letter day yesterday for Wales.

:09:26.:09:27.

That's including ospreys passing through, maybe juveniles.

:09:28.:09:31.

With the new cameras, if they come very close

:09:32.:09:34.

the ring number so we had a Scottish female with us on Monday.

:09:35.:09:40.

On to cricket and Glamorgan have lost their championship match

:09:41.:09:42.

The home side reached their target of 187 soon after lunch.

:09:43.:09:46.

It's a second defeat in their opening three

:09:47.:09:50.

Rugby news and George North has ruled himself out of a place

:09:51.:09:59.

in the GB 7's Squad for the Rio Olympics.

:10:00.:10:01.

He says he'll be taking a few weeks off in the summer.

:10:02.:10:04.

Meanwhile, Sam Warburton is expected to be fit for Wales' summer

:10:05.:10:07.

The captain injured his shoulder while playing for the Cardiff Blues,

:10:08.:10:11.

but it doesn't appear to be as bad as first feared.

:10:12.:10:14.

Polling stations across the country will open from 7am tomorrow morning.

:10:15.:10:16.

With everything you need to know about casting your vote,

:10:17.:10:19.

At the polling station, you will be handed

:10:20.:10:26.

That's your chance to vote for the person you want to represent

:10:27.:10:34.

your local area so put one cross next to the name of the candidate

:10:35.:10:38.

There is also a regional ballot paper.

:10:39.:10:43.

Again, you need to put one cross, but this time you're choosing

:10:44.:10:46.

which party or independent candidate you want to represent your region.

:10:47.:10:51.

And finally, you will have another ballot paper to choose

:10:52.:10:53.

the Police and Crime Commissioners for your area.

:10:54.:10:57.

You have two votes this time. A first and second choice.

:10:58.:11:01.

Don't forget, the polls open at seven on Thursday morning

:11:02.:11:06.

Time for the forecast, and Derek, it's finally

:11:07.:11:12.

It is, yes. The warm weather is well overdue. It will get warmer over the

:11:13.:11:31.

next few days. South-easterly winds from the Mediterranean are heading

:11:32.:11:38.

our way. Tonight, fine and dry. Turning Chile and maybe a touch of

:11:39.:11:44.

ground frost by dawn. Clouding over in the far north-west. Any miss

:11:45.:11:48.

tomorrow morning will soon disappear and a lovely morning for much of the

:11:49.:11:55.

country. Lots of sunshine. Cloudier in Anglesey and maybe a few spots of

:11:56.:12:03.

light rain. In Central and southern areas, a fine spring day with lots

:12:04.:12:08.

of sunshine but further north it will be cloudy and cooler. Some

:12:09.:12:13.

sunshine but also some rain and mostly in Scotland. Highest

:12:14.:12:21.

temperatures in south-east England. Closer to home, a nice afternoon

:12:22.:12:25.

with patchy cloud. More sunshine as well. Warmer than today. Cooler on

:12:26.:12:36.

the north and west coast because of the gentle breeze. The sea

:12:37.:12:40.

temperature is still quite cool for the time of year. Don't forget the

:12:41.:12:45.

suncream as the sun is getting pretty strong. Tomorrow night, fine

:12:46.:12:50.

in the evening and dry overnight then cloud increases from the south

:12:51.:12:57.

so a milder night. On Friday, dry with hazy sunshine and warm again.

:12:58.:13:05.

On Saturday, warm and muggy weather triggering a few showers and maybe

:13:06.:13:10.

one or two thunderstorms but still fine weather and hazy sunshine. This

:13:11.:13:15.

weekend is likely to be the warmest of the year so far and it's set to

:13:16.:13:19.

last into next week. A taste of summer!

:13:20.:13:22.

We'll have updates from around 6.25 in the morning into Breakfast.

:13:23.:13:26.

From all of us on the programme, good night.

:13:27.:13:32.
