As both sides of the EU referendum debate step up their campaigns,

:00:13.:00:16.

the leader of Vote Leave in Wales says immigration

:00:17.:00:19.

The Clwyd West MP, David Jones, claims hotels

:00:20.:00:24.

in Llandudno are now almost exclusively staffed by immigrants

:00:25.:00:28.

But the Wales Stronger in Europe campaign says freedom of movement

:00:29.:00:33.

Llandudno, one of our most popular resorts.

:00:34.:00:43.

In the sunshine a magnet for tourists.

:00:44.:00:45.

But according to the leader of Vote Leave in Wales, these grand

:00:46.:00:51.

hotels and others like them in tourist hotspots across Wales are

:00:52.:00:57.

staffed mainly by immigrants from Eastern Europe.

:00:58.:00:59.

Speaking on Radio Wales's Sunday Supplement this

:01:00.:01:02.

morning, he claimed this was forcing indigenous people out of jobs.

:01:03.:01:08.

If you go to Llandudno or other tourist parts of the

:01:09.:01:10.

country, it's very difficult to find any hotel that is not almost

:01:11.:01:14.

exclusively staffed by immigrants from Eastern Europe.

:01:15.:01:19.

It's forcing the indigenous population out.

:01:20.:01:25.

But in studio to put the case for Wales Stronger in Europe,

:01:26.:01:33.

this man said the idea that immigration is keeping

:01:34.:01:36.

There are plenty of economic studies on this.

:01:37.:01:42.

There is very little evidence that that is actually the case.

:01:43.:01:46.

We have in this country minimum wage requirements and they apply to

:01:47.:01:50.

The strange thing is, migration in Wales is a fraction

:01:51.:01:57.

So I don't think that's a major issue for us in Wales at all.

:01:58.:02:07.

It's not just the weather that is heating up.

:02:08.:02:09.

Yesterday both sides were out in force, pressing their case.

:02:10.:02:12.

And with a referendum on whether the UK

:02:13.:02:14.

remains part of the European Union just weeks away, on 23rd

:02:15.:02:16.

June, expect more claims and counterclaims.

:02:17.:02:23.

Organisers have carried out repairs on an outdoor art

:02:24.:02:25.

just a day after it opened, after parts of it are thought

:02:26.:02:30.

to have been broken by members of public.

:02:31.:02:33.

A field of lights - imitating red poppies -

:02:34.:02:36.

was commissioned by the Welsh National Opera, commemorating

:02:37.:02:40.

the hundreds of Welsh soldiers who died in the Battle of the Somme

:02:41.:02:43.

After a week of deadlock between Labour and Plaid Cymru over

:02:44.:02:48.

a former senior advisor to Labour has told BBC Wales

:02:49.:02:52.

the party should talk to all parties, to get its policies

:02:53.:02:58.

Meanwhile, the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives,

:02:59.:03:01.

Andrew RT Davies, says his door is always open to further

:03:02.:03:05.

What happened in the last five years is Labour could talk

:03:06.:03:12.

It means Plaid have a very strong hand in negotiations,

:03:13.:03:17.

which they played in the most belligerent way in the first week

:03:18.:03:20.

But you need to be able to talk with all the parties in the Assembly

:03:21.:03:25.

We are pragmatic enough to realise not one party has all the answers.

:03:26.:03:36.

I am not quite sure why Labour would think that Plaid,

:03:37.:03:39.

unless they entered a formal coalition with them,

:03:40.:03:41.

would be the answer to all of this because they got 11 votes.

:03:42.:03:46.

So, if you don't want to know the score, now's the time

:03:47.:03:52.

Swansea City have drawn 1-1 with Manchester City

:03:53.:03:56.

at the Liberty Stadium in their final Premier League

:03:57.:03:58.

They finish the season in 12th place with 47 points.

:03:59.:04:06.

They show that in this period many times.

:04:07.:04:15.

The rower, Victoria Thornley, from St Asaph, is in danger

:04:16.:04:25.

of missing out on this summer's Rio Olympics, after her partnership

:04:26.:04:28.

with Olympic champion Katherine Grainger was dissolved.

:04:29.:04:31.

The double scull pair have struggled with their form.

:04:32.:04:34.

British Rowing says both will be considered for a place

:04:35.:04:36.

A look at the weather forecast and tomorrow

:04:37.:04:42.

will be another fine and dry day for most.

:04:43.:04:44.

There will be some patchy cloud but also plenty of sunny

:04:45.:04:47.

breaks and it'll feel pleasant in the sunshine.

:04:48.:04:48.

We're back in Breakfast with updates from 6:25am.

:04:49.:04:55.

From all of us on the late team, goodnight.

:04:56.:05:07.

Good afternoon. Once again it felt pleasant by warm under strong May

:05:08.:05:14.

sunshine and mrentedy around earlier as one of our weather watches in

:05:15.:05:18.

Sheffield demonstrates. That same spot through the afternoon

:05:19.:05:19.
