What will Teresa May's appointment mean for Wales? | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We'll assess what her priorities will be. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
And the Pontypridd MP Owen Smith announces he'll stand | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
against Jeremy Corbyn for the leadership of the Labour Party. | :00:14. | :00:33. | |
Theresa May is in Downing Street tonight, after being appointed | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Here in Wales, the First Minister Carwyn Jones says he's looking | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
forward to meeting her - but admits, he knows very little | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Before entering Number 10, the new Prime Minister said | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
she would lead a one nation government, protecting | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
the United Kingdom - and what she called the "precious, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
precious" bond between England, Wales, Scotland | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
But what does her appointment mean for Wales? | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
Here's our Political Editor, Nick Servini. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
She's been in the Downing Street many times before but Theresa May | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
did so tonight for the first time as Prime Minister. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Before she's even had time to unpack her bags, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
questions are being asked about what her priorities | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
As Home Secretary Mrs May visited Wales | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
several times to show the portal David Cameron ahead of last year's | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Here in Wales and across the United Kingdom we are on | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
the cusp of recovery, of new growth, more jobs, better wages. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
She was a familiar face on the campaign trail, helping her | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
colleagues with support in key seats like Cardiff North. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Now as Prime Minister what are the challenges she | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
First of all, the economy with growing uncertainty in the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
background surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
We live in a changed world both politically and economically so | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
the leader of the country she has an absolute duty | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
to promote certainty and confidence amongst businesses. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Businesses are slightly nervous but perhaps not as nervous | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
as you may expect them to be at the moment. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
We are only a few weeks after the vote | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Her role will be leading those Brexit negotiations. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
The UK Government needs to give a clear | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
undertaking on very clear picture of quite what funds are going to be | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
provided to Wales once Brexit happens. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Alongside that, whether any powers that are repatriated from the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
European Union remain in Westminster rather than being devolved. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
What about devolution at a time when powers | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
over income tax, energy and | :02:54. | :02:54. | |
devolved elections are in the process | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
of being transferred from | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Wales need a fair financial settlements, which we | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
We need a fair settlement in terms of what powers | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the people of Wales have through their own parliament here. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Theresa May is above all a cautious politician and those who know her | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
say that will apply to devolved matters as well. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
But they also say she will be unlikely to get in the | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
way of plans to devolve further powers here. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Remember, the constitution will be on her agenda. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
She will look to try to keep the UK together. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
At a time when Scotland could try to become independent | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Today's Prime Minister's Questions were the last | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Outside of the Commons, in his time at Number 10, | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
he came to Wales more often than many previous leaders. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
He has been a regular in the Wales today studio | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
and as is the case with all politicians, he likes to come with | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
The Nato summit that will take place in the autumn of next, 28 | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
members of Nato, including the president | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
of the United States, will | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Newport welcomes the world's most powerful | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
He was joined in Cardiff by Nick Clegg, to set out plans for | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
This was mixed with hard political attacks. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
We are witnessing a national scandal. | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
fractious relationship between the Labour Welsh government and the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Conservative lead UK Government about the state of the NHS. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
He was also Prime Minister at a resurgent | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
time for the Welsh Conservatives as they took scalps in the general | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
election last year, including seats like Gower. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
There is no time though for Theresa May to find her feet as | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
With so many urgent matters to deal with. | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
It's not only the Conservatives that have been making | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
the headlines today, but Labour too - | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
with Owen Smith entering the ring to be Labour leader. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
The Pontypridd MP and former shadow cabinet member says he can heal | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the party and turn the page on internal strife. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Here's our political reporter James Williams. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
He's the Labour man from a Labour family with his eyes firmly set | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
But do the people of Pontypridd, his home area, a Labour | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
Have you had enough of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour's leader? | :05:32. | :05:41. | |
I just...he doesn't have the support, does he? | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
I think he's a straight man. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
And I think he'd go for the Conservatives. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
Well, you've got to give the man time. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
He's been in it for nearly 12 months. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Owen Smith says he can heal those wounds. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is a good man with good values and he's done a lot | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
of good things to shift the debate of this country but I don't think | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
he realises the danger that is now attached to him sticking in, | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
forced perhaps to stick in by some of his supporters. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
But, as it stands, he's not budging as Labour leader. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Last night, party officials ruled Jeremy Corbyn will automatically be | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
If he gets enough support from Labour MPs and MEPs, | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
The 46-years-old he has been a Labour Party member since the age | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
of 16, at which time he attended Barry Boys Comprehensive School | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
in the Vale of Glamorgan, before leaving on to study | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
history and friends at the University of Sussex. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
A career at the BBC followed, where he worked for a decade | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
I think that is the best way to describe Owen. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Very bright, lots of enthusiasm, very little self-doubt, | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
but a very high standard of what he expected. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
After journalism, Owen Smith's first experience of professional politics | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
was forged in the cauldron of the Northern Irish peace process | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
as a government special adviser to Paul Murphy. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
He was brilliant in the peace process. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
The help he gave me in hugely difficult times, talking to both | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
sides and knowing both sides, going sometimes into very | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
difficult parts of Belfast, but also being very understanding | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
of the complexities of the peace process in Northern Ireland. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Lobbying for the pharmaceuticals company Pfizer was Owen's | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
last job before entering the House of Commons in 2010. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
He retained the Pontypridd seat in last year's election. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Owen Smith rose quickly through the party's ranks, | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
becoming Shadow Welsh Secretary and then Shadow Work | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
and Pensions Secretary, a job he stepped down | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
from a fortnight ago, citing a seemingly unbridgeable | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
divide between Labour MPs and their leader. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
But Jeremy Corbyn enjoys a lot of support among | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Labour grassroots members, including here in Pontypridd. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Although the chair of the local party branch tells me he expects | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
the majority of the roughly 600 Labour members in the area | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
will back Owen Smith, there is a contingent of Corbyn | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
supporters, including the assembly member for Pontypridd, Mick Antoniw. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Owen Smith describes himself as a combatant, not a commentator. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Today, he's decided to embark on a bloody internal battle that may | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
A coach company based in Ruabon in Wrexham, | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
which runs school buses and other routes, has gone | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
GHA Coaches employs almost 400 people | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
and has more than two hundred vehicles running across | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
Wrexham, Denbighshire, Cheshire and Shropshire. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
The Welsh Government says it's working closely with local | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
authorities to minimise any adverse affect to key bus services. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
The Circuit of Wales won't go ahead until the company behind it makes | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
sure less taxpayers money is needed to guarantee it. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
That's according to the Welsh Government's | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Economy and Infrastructure Secretary. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Ken Skates told the Senedd Chamber more private investment must | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
underpin the regeneration project in Ebbw Vale. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
The developers say they're already working with civil servants on that. | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
Despite the efforts of the project backers this | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
leaves around 17% being taken by the private sector. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
That amount of risk falling on the Welsh taxpayer | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
through Welsh and support is unacceptable, especially | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
at a time when we are facing significant economic | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
uncertainty from the UK exit from Europe. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
The former Shadow Welsh Secretary, Nia Griffith, has raised concerns | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
that the German steel manufacturer, Thyssenkrupp, could hoover up | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
Tata's Port Talbot plant and close it down. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
The Indian steel conglomorate has stopped the sales process | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
for its Welsh sites as it continues talks over a merger. | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
There's been a significant increase in the number of ONLINE viewers of | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
S4C, according to the channel's annual report. | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
Its programmes were requested more than 8 million times | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
in the last financial year, up from 5.7 million, a year earlier. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
It comes as the number of viewers to the channel | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
The channel said changes in viewing habits would shape the kind | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
It's important for us to note exactly what sort of content | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
is being selected but what sort of content are people going to look | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
for and does that mean that our commissioning policies need | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
to be reviewed in order to make more programmes, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
more of the sort of content that people are more likely | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
to look for online rather than just view passively. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Around 100 professional cyclists have taken | :10:58. | :10:58. | |
part in the Chepstow Grand Prix this evening, which will lead up | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
to a festival of cycling in Abergavenny this weekend. | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
The events are part of this summer's British Cycling Elite | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
It aims to give people the chance to see professional | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Let's get the weather forecast now, with Derek. | :11:12. | :11:23. | |
It is a bit topsy-turvy over the next few days. Tomorrow is quite | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
nice. Dry and more settled and feeling a bit warmer. Tomorrow is | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
the best day of the week. We have a few showers around tonight spreading | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
away further south. Tomorrow morning, much of the country should | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
be dry again. Temperatures falling as low as nine Celsius. Tomorrow's | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
chart shows high pressure over the UK. These over the Atlantic are | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
heading our way. Tomorrow morning looking pretty good. A few clouds | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
but some blue sky as well. A good start of the day. Across the rest of | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the UK, most places are dry tomorrow. Temperatures rise and | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
cloud will build up inland. One or two showers breaking out mainly in | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
the north and east. With light winds feeling warmer tomorrow. 18 Celsius | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
in Belfast. A nice afternoon in Wales tomorrow. A few clouds and | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
some blue sky and sunshine. Sunny on the coast and feeling warmer than | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
today. 17 Celsius in Anglesey. A fine and to the day and dry | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
overnight. Somehow I cloud spreading in from the west overnight with | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
temperatures reaching a Celsius. It is all change on Friday. Some patchy | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
light rain and drizzle and the cloud lowering with Hill fog. It will turn | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
murky. The forecast for the weekend is not so straightforward. Rain and | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
drizzle likely on Sunday. Behind that, it should be dry and bright. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Sunday should be the best day of the weekends. Some sunshine and feeling | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
fresher. Enjoyed the sunshine tomorrow. | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
We're back in Breakfast with updates from 6.25. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
From all of us on the programme, good night. | :13:27. | :13:29. |
