Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight's headlines: An overnight vigil is held at Llandaff Cathedral

:00:00.:00:07.

to remember the Welsh soldiers who fought and died

:00:08.:00:09.

It's business as usual for this company in Baglan,

:00:10.:00:16.

but Plaid Cymru accuses the Welsh Government of not having

:00:17.:00:19.

The First Minister has been at Llandaff Cathedral tonight

:00:20.:00:40.

leading a national vigil to commemorate the Welshmen

:00:41.:00:42.

who fought and lost their lives in the Battle of the Somme

:00:43.:00:45.

The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, has said he thinks

:00:46.:00:50.

it's ironic that we commemorate those who lost their lives

:00:51.:00:52.

for the freedom of Europe a week after the EU referendum result.

:00:53.:00:56.

As commemorations are held around the country and in France to mark

:00:57.:01:12.

the centenary of the Battle of the Somme hundreds gathered in Llandaff

:01:13.:01:15.

Cathedral tonight to begin an all-night vigil to remember those

:01:16.:01:19.

who died. We owe our freedom to them so it would be terrible if we were

:01:20.:01:23.

to forget all this so on is important to hold a service like

:01:24.:01:26.

this on the anniversary as it were of the beginning of that at all. It

:01:27.:01:31.

is a bit ironic of course that here we are commemorating people who gave

:01:32.:01:36.

their lives for the freedom of this country and Europe and yet look what

:01:37.:01:43.

happened last week. The centrepiece of tonight's ceremony is this

:01:44.:01:47.

minor's lamp. On the hour throughout the night prayers will be said here

:01:48.:01:49.

before the landowners carried through the city to the National War

:01:50.:01:54.

Memorial were at 7am in the morning a service will be held ending with a

:01:55.:01:58.

whistle to signify the moment the soldiers in the trenches went over

:01:59.:02:02.

the top. It was the largest battle of World War I, the Battle of the

:02:03.:02:07.

Somme began on the 1st of July 19 16. On the first day alone more than

:02:08.:02:14.

19,000 British soldiers died. After 141 days of fighting more than a

:02:15.:02:17.

million men are from both sides were dead. We thought it was a holiday

:02:18.:02:27.

may be. We thought we would beat the Germans in six months. That is what

:02:28.:02:34.

we thought. There were no meals, no nothing regular. We were never

:02:35.:02:43.

instructed on what to do or how to do it. Today, a dragon stands in

:02:44.:02:47.

memory of the sacrifice of the 20,000 Welshmen who fought at Mametz

:02:48.:02:53.

Wood. Tonight Wales will keep watch once more, remembering them and all

:02:54.:02:54.

who fought and died on the Somme. Plaid Cymru has accused

:02:55.:02:59.

the Welsh Government of lacking any plan on how to deal

:03:00.:03:02.

with the economic consequences of the UK leaving

:03:03.:03:05.

the European Union. Plaid have outlined their plan,

:03:06.:03:08.

which involves new tax powers and investment in big

:03:09.:03:10.

infrastructure projects. But the Economy Secretary,

:03:11.:03:12.

Ken Skates, insists he is taking action,

:03:13.:03:13.

both to support Welsh exporters and to attract foreign

:03:14.:03:16.

companies to invest here. Here's our Political

:03:17.:03:18.

Correspondent, James Williams. After last week's referendum result,

:03:19.:03:22.

is it business as usual in Wales? Wetac International is a specialist

:03:23.:03:25.

engineering company based in Port Talbot, exporting 85%

:03:26.:03:29.

of its products to EU countries. There is real concern Brexit

:03:30.:03:35.

could affect not only sales, Americans invested in Wales

:03:36.:03:39.

because at the time there was a Objective One

funding for Wales. We are currently looking

:03:46.:03:47.

at investment in Wales to continue the growth we have seen over

:03:48.:03:51.

the last 15 years, but right now it's unclear what will be happening

:03:52.:03:56.

in the European Union and whether or not

:03:57.:03:59.

that will continue. In the last financial year,

:04:00.:04:02.

101 projects created more than 5,000 new jobs in Wales as a result

:04:03.:04:05.

of foreign inward investment. Between 2003 and 2015 around 0.5%

:04:06.:04:10.

of enterprises active It doesn't seem like much

:04:11.:04:14.

but it accounted for 13.8% Given we won't know for many years

:04:15.:04:21.

whether the UK will continue to enjoy tariff free access

:04:22.:04:30.

to the EU single market, the Welsh Government is concerned

:04:31.:04:34.

about the potential impact It's going to be more difficult

:04:35.:04:37.

because most foreign investors identify membership of the single

:04:38.:04:44.

market as the single key biggest But if you are an international

:04:45.:04:47.

company at a moment looking to invest and you have short listed

:04:48.:04:52.

Wales, Ireland and France, you are more likely to go

:04:53.:04:55.

to Ireland and France As Aston Martin rightly pointed out

:04:56.:04:57.

when they decided to come to Wales, we have a small, nimble,

:04:58.:05:04.

dynamic, agile government. Aston Martin insists expansion plans

:05:05.:05:06.

in Wales will continue Airbus has given assurances since

the vote over its future operations. The plane manufacturer has

:05:13.:05:18.

a plant in Flintshire. The Japanese car-maker is said to be

:05:19.:05:22.

considering its options. With such uncertainty,

:05:23.:05:29.

Plaid Cymru asks where I have been shocked and dismayed

:05:30.:05:32.

by the fact that actually There is a plan to support Welsh

:05:33.:05:38.

exports, develop overseas markets But opinions remain as split

:05:39.:05:47.

in the aftermath as they did It may take quite some time

:05:48.:05:53.

to bridge the divides. Speaking earlier today,

:05:54.:06:00.

the First Minister has expressed anger at a reported rise

:06:01.:06:02.

in racist attacks since last week's

:06:03.:06:05.

referendum result. During a visit to a Polish

:06:06.:06:08.

centre in Llanelli today, Carwyn Jones said people who feel

:06:09.:06:11.

angry should take it out on the system and not

:06:12.:06:13.

on other groups of people. Unfortunately, there are some people

:06:14.:06:20.

who think the vote has given them the ability to go

:06:21.:06:23.

and abuse other people. Every country has idiots

:06:24.:06:26.

and Wales has them as well. My message is, we won't put

:06:27.:06:28.

up with that. There is no reason why people

:06:29.:06:31.

who are different should Where does it all end

:06:32.:06:34.

at the end of the day? We are a country of immigrants

actually and it's important that we work together and make sure

:06:39.:06:42.

we get through this An independent review

into children's heart services in Bristol has found children

:06:45.:06:49.

were put at risk of harm It found a shortage of specialist

:06:50.:06:51.

nurses and poor communication meant children's care wasn't as good

:06:52.:06:56.

as it should have been. The review was established

:08:14.:08:18.

Ward 32 was often under pressure and that nursing numbers had fallen

:08:19.:08:25.

below the recommended levels on a frequent basis with a clear

:08:26.:08:28.

risk of harm. It also found bosses

:08:29.:08:30.

failed to understand and respond effectively

:08:31.:08:34.

to the concerns of parents. I would like to say sorry,

:08:35.:08:38.

particularly to those families where the review has found

:08:39.:08:42.

that our care fell below acceptable standards,

:08:43.:08:46.

where we didn't properly listen to their concerns and complaints

and where we didn't give them The Bristol heart unit treats around

but today's investigation also said services in Wales and England should

be better coordinated and that cardiac care for unborn babies

in Wales was under resourced. The Welsh Government says lessons

like in the future. And Luke Jenkins' parents say

:09:35.:09:36.

they're also disappointed with the review and are still

searching for answers, even though each time the grief

clearing eastwards. Turning drier with a few

lingering showers. Brisk westerly winds

and lows of 11C to 14C. As the rain clears eastwards,

a gap of more settled weather tomorrow before this next front

pushes in to the northwest later A bright and breezy start for many

with some sunny spells, Across the UK, dry, bright

but that front bringing more frequent showers

:12:11.:12:13.

into Northern Ireland and Scotland, moving south

and eastwards through the day. A blustery end to

the day across Wales. Some sunny spells but increasingly

:12:20.:12:28.

showery in the north and west. For football fans heading to France,

:12:29.:12:31.

it should at least stay dry tomorrow night for Wales' quarter-final match

in Lille after a fairly mild day. Temperatures staying

in the high teens. Back home, showers continue
