Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories

:00:00.:00:00.

The Welsh Government meets to thrash out our

:00:00.:00:07.

response to Brexit - securing funds for farming

:00:08.:00:08.

and deprived communities among its priorities

:00:09.:00:12.

Also tonight - The big names in Welsh Labour resign

:00:13.:00:14.

And in Football - Wales Captain Ashley Williams

:00:15.:00:20.

will be fit for the quarter final against Belgium.

:00:21.:00:38.

Prime minister David Cameron has insisted Wales would have a say

:00:39.:00:43.

in the UK's negotiations to leave the EU.

:00:44.:00:46.

While in Cardiff - behind closed doors -

:00:47.:00:49.

the First minister and his cabinet thrashed out what Wales needs to get

:00:50.:00:52.

Cardiff Bay says their priority is replacement

:00:53.:00:59.

funding for Wales' farmers and most deprived communities -

:01:00.:01:01.

But from Plaid Cymru tonight - fresh calls for Wales

:01:02.:01:06.

More from our Political Editor Nick Servini.

:01:07.:01:13.

As the drama is still unfolding at Westminster after the break that

:01:14.:01:21.

As the drama is still unfolding at Westminster after the Brexit

:01:22.:01:24.

vote an attempt of sorts is being made by the Prime Minister

:01:25.:01:27.

to set out a plan to negotiate the UK's withdrawal.

:01:28.:01:32.

The big decisions will be taken by the new PRime Minister,

:01:33.:01:34.

whoever that is, but in the meantime, a team of civil

:01:35.:01:37.

We must ensure that the interests of all part of our United Kingdom

:01:38.:01:41.

are protected and advanced so as we prepare for a new

:01:42.:01:48.

negotiation with the European Union, we will involve the Scottish,

:01:49.:01:50.

Welsh and Northern Ireland government.

:01:51.:01:51.

This lunchtime, the Welsh government's Cabinet met

:01:52.:01:53.

The priority was the replacement of the ?500 billion bills receives

:01:54.:01:58.

every year from the EU for farming and projects in

:01:59.:02:01.

The UK government has insisted that it would match those funds

:02:02.:02:10.

thanks to the money it would save after Brexit.

:02:11.:02:12.

The Welsh Government says any delay to do that would be devastating.

:02:13.:02:18.

Carwyn Jones may not like this result but he must accept it

:02:19.:02:21.

because that is what the people of Wales wanted.

:02:22.:02:23.

And now the Cabinet here will want to have as much

:02:24.:02:26.

of a say as possible, including a final say

:02:27.:02:28.

At this stage, we have no idea how realistic that is,

:02:29.:02:32.

but they are getting their bidding in early.

:02:33.:02:38.

Leave campaigners like the former Welsh Secretary David Jones

:02:39.:02:44.

say the terms of an exit should not be left alone to

:02:45.:02:47.

the Welsh Government, which campaigned to remain.

:02:48.:02:48.

They say they are more in tune with the wishes of the Welsh public

:02:49.:02:52.

and should now have a say by becoming members of a committee

:02:53.:02:55.

And Plaid Cymru have reacted by deciding to put independence at

:02:56.:03:00.

the forefront of their campaigning, after it had been in the background

:03:01.:03:03.

for a number of years, because of the game changing

:03:04.:03:06.

Whilst we have been very sensible and pragmatic

:03:07.:03:10.

about the question of independence, that is something now that we need

:03:11.:03:13.

to put on the table, we need to ensure that there

:03:14.:03:16.

is a union of independent nations within the UK.

:03:17.:03:32.

Wales may have voted to leave but there is still anger.

:03:33.:03:35.

These young protesters held a demonstration

:03:36.:03:36.

We are seeing thee vote does not represent

:03:37.:03:48.

Who knows what would have happened if 16-year-olds

:03:49.:03:53.

There are so many people our age who want to stay in the EU.

:03:54.:04:03.

Like many people, Welsh ministers now have a huge job ahead and one

:04:04.:04:06.

of the biggest tasks is unifying people after such a divisive period.

:04:07.:04:12.

Shadow Welsh Secretary, Nia Griffith, and her entire team

:04:13.:04:15.

are among the Welsh MPs to resign from Jeremy Corbyn's Labour cabinet

:04:16.:04:18.

over his handling of the EU referendum

:04:19.:04:20.

and concern about the party's electoral hopes.

:04:21.:04:22.

Gone too Chris Bryant, who was the Shadow Leader of

:04:23.:04:25.

the House and MP for the Rhondda - and Owen Smith, formerly

:04:26.:04:29.

the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary,

:04:30.:04:30.

Our Parliamentary Correspondent, David Cornock reports.

:04:31.:04:38.

A bruising 24 hours for Welsh Labour at Westminster.

:04:39.:04:41.

Since Chris Bryant resigned as shadow leader of the house

:04:42.:04:44.

last night in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's leadership,

:04:45.:04:46.

several of his colleagues have followed suit.

:04:47.:04:51.

Of course we like the straight talking and the honest politics,

:04:52.:04:54.

but I think we realise that to be a leader in today's modern world,

:04:55.:04:58.

perhaps you need other qualities as well and perhaps we have to be

:04:59.:05:01.

a little bit more aware of what those qualities are as well.

:05:02.:05:04.

I am not standing as a candidate with a guy who is happy to walk

:05:05.:05:08.

around with a megaphone and say a few sound bites,

:05:09.:05:10.

even if he is a man of strong principles, because people

:05:11.:05:13.

Last week's vote to leave the European Union was

:05:14.:05:17.

The referendum campaign, Jeremy did not offer

:05:18.:05:21.

So much so that even on polling day, some people were asking me how

:05:22.:05:29.

Jeremy was going to vote and, in all honesty, I do not know.

:05:30.:05:32.

I even asked him how he was going to vote and he has not

:05:33.:05:36.

These three believe that civil war could have consequences.

:05:37.:05:47.

The Labour Party is splitting and I feel that neither side right

:05:48.:05:49.

now has a handle on just how grave that crisis is, and how

:05:50.:05:56.

truly dreadful it will be if the Labour Party breaks.

:05:57.:06:00.

And I fear that on both sides there is just a headlong rush

:06:01.:06:03.

The Labour crisis will not stop the bingo at this workman's club.

:06:04.:06:14.

The local MP was among those Labour frontbenchers who resigned today.

:06:15.:06:19.

Jeremy Corbyn can still count on some support amongst some Welsh

:06:20.:06:21.

MPs but even in this Labour heartland, there are mixed opinions.

:06:22.:06:27.

The Labour Party should know better, because 65% of the Labour Party

:06:28.:06:42.

Jeremy Corbyn wants to come back into the 21st-century.

:06:43.:06:49.

Mr Corbyn says he is going nowhere, but MPs are already planning

:06:50.:06:58.

The future is uncertain, but there is one phrase

:06:59.:07:04.

you are unlikely to hear at the bingo any time soon -

:07:05.:07:07.

Stephen Crabbe - the Work and Pensions Secretary

:07:08.:07:14.

and Preseli Pembrokeshire MP says - the new Prime minister must

:07:15.:07:17.

have a clear plan in light of the UK's decision to leave

:07:18.:07:20.

Following David Cameron's resignation after Brexit -

:07:21.:07:23.

nominations for the new leader of the Conservatives are due to open

:07:24.:07:26.

I want to see a candidate emerge to understand the enormity of the

:07:27.:07:43.

situation and two has a clear plan to deliver on the expectations of

:07:44.:07:47.

the 70 million people who voted for Britain to come out of Europe, a

:07:48.:07:51.

plan for putting together a team who can lead a tough negotiation.

:07:52.:07:54.

The next stage in the sale of Tata Steel's UK operations

:07:55.:07:57.

has been delayed as those involved consider

:07:58.:08:01.

the implications of the UK's decision to leave the EU.

:08:02.:08:04.

The banks and investors backing the bids for the company

:08:05.:08:06.

are assessing whether the Brexit vote changes

:08:07.:08:08.

the risk attached to such an investment.

:08:09.:08:09.

But Tata says none of the bidders has so far pulled out.

:08:10.:08:14.

Football and Wales are just two games away

:08:15.:08:16.

But standing in their way - a Quarter Final against in-form

:08:17.:08:25.

fit after injuring his shoulder at the end of the last game

:08:26.:08:30.

And Wales Manager Chris Coleman has been reacting to the news

:08:31.:08:34.

that his side will face Belgium - a team ranked second in the world.

:08:35.:08:41.

I think in the last four years we have had for, we won the last one.

:08:42.:08:52.

There is nothing for us to be afraid of, there is no fear. We find

:08:53.:08:56.

ourselves in a great position but I am not pinching myself thinking wow,

:08:57.:09:01.

how has that happened? We are good enough to be here.

:09:02.:09:06.

Success is giving the FA W a cash boost.

:09:07.:09:10.

From Paris, Kate Morgan on the financial effect

:09:11.:09:12.

It is hard to put a price on it, the years of waiting,

:09:13.:09:17.

arriving on the main stage then finally some success.

:09:18.:09:19.

Just making it to France earned Wales ?6.4 million.

:09:20.:09:34.

Two group wins against Slovakia and Russia netted bonuses.

:09:35.:09:36.

Reaching the last 16 is worth ?1.2 million, while putting a spot

:09:37.:09:39.

in the quarterfinals added another ?2 million taking the total so far

:09:40.:09:42.

I know that Jonathan Ford and his team in the Football Association

:09:43.:09:49.

are extremely keen to make sure that the money we get

:09:50.:09:54.

into football is invested into the grassroots of the game,

:09:55.:09:56.

developing the game, making sure that every child

:09:57.:10:00.

in Wales have the great opportunities to play football.

:10:01.:10:05.

If we win on Friday, not only with the make

:10:06.:10:07.

history but they would win another ?3 million.

:10:08.:10:10.

If they return to Paris and, dare I say it, win the final,

:10:11.:10:15.

It is big money but especially when you consider that the FA W made

:10:16.:10:21.

Some of the money, possibly most of the group prize fund,

:10:22.:10:28.

will already have been spent on the team hotel, transport

:10:29.:10:31.

At this football club, the board also know all about deals.

:10:32.:10:35.

They made to discuss the next phase of their redevelopment earlier

:10:36.:10:40.

but the day-to-day running costs are high.

:10:41.:10:42.

The administration of clubs, insurance and all sorts of things,

:10:43.:10:44.

Even from our little club's prospective, administration costs

:10:45.:10:48.

somewhere in the reach of ?150,000 per year,

:10:49.:10:51.

of which about 10% comes from the turnstiles.

:10:52.:10:57.

So it is not brain surgery to realise that we need,

:10:58.:11:00.

desperately, more investment in Welsh community clubs.

:11:01.:11:05.

The long-term aim for the league will be to make sure that Wales

:11:06.:11:08.

reaches new heights at every level of the game.

:11:09.:11:10.

The focus for now, however, will be on the football rather

:11:11.:11:17.

than the finances as the dream of a final payday in Paris lives on.

:11:18.:11:21.

Let's see what the weather has in store here's Benaz.

:11:22.:11:24.

The weather looks pretty unsettled for the rest of the week thanks to

:11:25.:11:32.

the jet stream sitting across us and feeding in weather systems.

:11:33.:11:36.

Tomorrow, a cloudy and wet one, you need the umbrella. It is feeling

:11:37.:11:42.

cooler. Tonight, variable amounts of cloud and clear skies. Feeling cool

:11:43.:11:45.

with temperatures down to nine Celsius. The wind is light and

:11:46.:11:50.

variable. Tomorrow, a weather system brings wet weather from the West and

:11:51.:11:56.

clearing by tomorrow night. First thing tomorrow, a dry start, cloud

:11:57.:12:01.

thickening from the West as the front approaches and most of us will

:12:02.:12:06.

need an umbrella by the afternoon. You will notice the breeze as well.

:12:07.:12:12.

Further south and east you are, dry and bright but the front progresses

:12:13.:12:17.

eastwards through the day and as temperatures 14 to 20 Celsius, the

:12:18.:12:24.

wind is noticeable in the west. In Wales, a wet afternoon, gradually

:12:25.:12:28.

the rain will clear the south and west, something brighter into

:12:29.:12:32.

tomorrow evening. The rain further north and east, temperatures between

:12:33.:12:36.

14 and 16. It should be dried tomorrow night, the odd shower

:12:37.:12:41.

likely, variable amounts of cloud and clear skies by dawn another

:12:42.:12:47.

weather front approaches. Another cool night. Nine Celsius. On

:12:48.:12:52.

Wednesday, we have another weather front bringing rain, heavy at times

:12:53.:12:57.

and slower to clear in comparison with Tuesday. Strong winds from the

:12:58.:13:02.

south-west, temperatures ranging between 14 to 16 Celsius. A slight

:13:03.:13:08.

improvement into Thursday, a dry start but more rain arriving later

:13:09.:13:13.

on the day. You will notice the south-westerly wind. Into Friday,

:13:14.:13:18.

dry and bright but I cannot rule at the risk of isolated showers. We are

:13:19.:13:23.

back in Breakfast tomorrow with the latest news and sport. Thank you for

:13:24.:13:28.

watching. From all of us, good night.
