Tonight's headlines: The group representing manufacturers here says | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
there's been a significant drop in confidence since last | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Do I invest here? Do I move my facilities offshore? | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Do I reassure some of my supply chain? | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
All of that is in the mix with regard to the uncertainty | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Also tonight, Cardiff brothel owner Diana Jones is in prison | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Now police hope to recover the nearly ?4 million she owes. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Getting a taste of what a degree course has to offer. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
But why are pupils from poorer backgrounds here three times less | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
The company behind these plans for the old Sainsbury's site | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
in Newport say they're pulling out, claiming parts of the city | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The Olympic Opening Ceremony is just a week away. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
Britain's first taekwondo Olympic Champion. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
A month since Wales voted to leave the European Union, | :01:02. | :01:27. | |
there's a warning tonight that manufacturers here have seen | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
EEF, the organisation which represents the sector, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
has told this programme it's concerned Brexit may | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
It comes as Ford, which employs hundreds of workers in Bridgend, | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
Our business correspondent Brian Meechan has the details. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
M make conveyor belts for businesses | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
It employs 26 people at its Tredegar base. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Its boss was in favour of leaving the EU and he says far from Brexit | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
reducing confidence, he is investing in his factory | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
There is a world out there besides Europe | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
and Europe still needs us as a customer. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
If they want us as a customer, they have got to be able to allow us | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
All this argument that we will lose out, that they will stop selling | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
to us, put tariffs up, it is a two-way street. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
In my opinion, we have done the right thing. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
We have had the vote, my argument is to get on with it. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
But representatives of manufacturers in Wales say Brexit is making | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
companies think twice about investing in property, | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
I think they are concerned about all the uncertainty. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
We have seen the uncertainty around steel in Wales and there | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
is uncertainty about our access to the single market, | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Do I invest here? Do I move my facilities offshore? | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
All of that is in the mix with regard to the uncertainty | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
The warning that investment in manufacturing is being put | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
on hold is also being heard from other sectors of the economy. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
It's clear that the UK is leaving the European Union. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
What is unclear is what our trading relationships will be | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
like with Europe and the rest of the world after Brexit. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Manufacturing is a significant part of the Welsh economy, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
accounting for 18% of the country's output. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
In terms of the UK, it makes up only 6% output. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
The number of jobs increased by 17% between 2010 and 2016. | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
Ford is one of the biggest manufacturers in Wales. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
It has just invested ?118 million in its Bridgend plant, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
There are concerns the new facility only allows it to make a third | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
of the number of engines it currently produces | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
and other work at the site is coming to an end. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Ford says it has to consider all its options following | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
As we think about the magnitude of the impact, we are going to have | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
to look at all parts of the business to make sure we stay on track | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
How manufacturing manages Brexit will have a major impact | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
on how well the Welsh economy as a whole deals with it. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
What else are manufacturers calling for? The organisation has said that | :04:31. | :04:45. | |
ultimately, what would be good is to get a good message from the UK | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Government about supporting manufacturing and the project they | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
have picked out is the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon. They have said if they | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
give that the go-ahead, it will send a huge message all across the world | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
that Britain and Wales is open for business. It is an expensive project | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
but they have said it will have a huge manufacturing impact. We have | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
seen this from other sectors as well. For example, construction | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
would like to see other investment coming from the UK and Welsh | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
government on issues such as electrification of the South Wales | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
rail lines, the Metro and other projects that could be kick-started | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
if private investment is leaving the economy, public investment can go | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
into it. The UK Government has been | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
asked to give urgent clarification that a delay | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
in the new Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station in Somerset | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
won't impact the proposed Wylfa Newydd development | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
on Anglesey. UK ministers say they'll decide | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
in September whether to go ahead with Hinkley Point, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
which is opposite Barry The Welsh Government says it's | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
important the delay doesn't damage An 86-year-old man who was hit | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
by a train in Cardiff yesterday has been arrested in connection | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
with the alleged murder of his wife. Angus Mayer was struck by a train | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
at Cardiff Central Station. Hours later, the body of 85-year-old | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Margaret Mayer was found Mr Mayer, who was treated | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
in hospital for minor leg injuries, A six-year-old girl has been praised | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
for saving the life of her mother and two brothers in a house fire | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
in Alltwen near Kelsey Davies' four-year-old brother | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Jac died at the scene. But in the early hours | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
of the morning, she managed to carry her baby brother outside | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
before returning to help her mother Police say they still hope | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
to reclaim nearly ?4 million from a former brothel boss | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
who was finally jailed after being Diana Jones ran brothels | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
in Cardiff and Swindon. When she fled to Cyprus she became | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
one of the biggest targets for officers tasked | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
with seizing assets. For the last seven years, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Diana Jones has been living in northern Cyprus, | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
on the run from police. The BBC's Week In Week Out | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
programme filmed her in 2008 as she was sentenced for running | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
a multi-million pound vice ring. The following year she was ordered | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
to pay ?2.6 million and given By then she'd already | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
fled the country. She's now in prison | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
in Staffordshire, arrested when she arrived back in the UK, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
and serving a four-year sentence for failing | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
to pay her confiscation order. The team charged with recovering | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
that money say that, with interest, the total now stands at | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
more than ?3.7 million. If the order is not met, it will | :07:44. | :07:58. | |
stay with her for life. The confiscation enforcement team will | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
monitor, review and carry out investigations on a fairly regular | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
basis to ascertain whether she actually has any assets and at that | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
point will get those assets removed from her. So you will never stop | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
chasing her? No. She is one of our upper end cases. She is one of the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
top four or five investigations we have currently going. | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Police said Diana Jones' brothels turned over nearly | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
?3 million in six years - a sum that funded her double life | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Investigators also believe it allowed her a lavish | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
lifestyle in northern Cyprus, where there's no formal extradition | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
They'll now visit her at her new home in prison | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
to establish what, if anything, she can pay back. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Research has shown that young people from poorer backgrounds in Wales | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
are almost three times less likely to go to university than students | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
It's promoted the educational charity and think tank | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
The Sutton Trust to say it's profoundly concerned that talented | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Welsh pupils are missing out and that there's still a deep divide | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Could these be the healthcare professionals of the future? | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
Here at Swansea University, a group of Year 12 pupils | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
are getting a taster session of what a nursing course | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
would involve at higher education level. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
The scheme is aimed at young people like 17-year-old | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
Teigan Blackmore from Maesteg, who may not have thought that | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
I wasn't sure if I should just go from college | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
None of my family have gone to university so, | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
college and it's ended there, so family tradition more than likely. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
More than 60 students from across south Wales are taking part | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
It's about widening access to higher education and that's important | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
because, at the moment, there's talent out there that | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
One of the most underrepresented groups is white working-class boys. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Young people who have been in the care system | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
are massively underrepresented in the higher education system. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Young people from certain geographical areas | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
It's unfair that certain parts of the population are not | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
accessing university, not through a lack of talent | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
but through a lack of access to opportunities. | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
According to UCAS, the body that manages university | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
applications, last year, only 17% of Welsh students from the most | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
disadvantaged backgrounds went to university. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
In contrast, 44% of students from the most well-off backgrounds | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
did go on to higher education, so in Wales you're almost | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
three times less likely to go to university | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
That gap means that thousands of young people | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
from poorer homes may not be fulfilling their potential. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
The educational charity The Sutton Trust believes | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
There is still a deep divide in education in Wales | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
and what we are finding is that we are basically | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
wasting a lot of the talent across the country. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
We really need to have much smaller gaps because Wales is basically | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
missing out on a huge amount of talent. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
The Sutton Trust says schools could do more to raise pupils' | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
aspirations and universities should reach out to those | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Over the last five years there has been progress | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
but there are still young people who face barriers when it comes | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
to progressing to higher education and there's concern that talented | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
students might be hitting a dead end. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
There's plenty more still to come before seven o'clock: | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Keeping the convenience of their public loos. | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
We'll be hearing from the residents of a village holding | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
And the weather's gone down the pan recently | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
but there is some sunshine in the forecast for the weekend. | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
The National Eisteddfod, the annual festival celebrating | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
the Welsh language and culture, begins tonight in Abergavenny. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
It's more than 100 years since the event was last held | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
in the Monmouthshire town and our reporter | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
Good evening. Welcome to the Maes. The field playing host to this | :12:16. | :12:34. | |
year's National Eisteddfod. No iconic pink tent this year, it is a | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
new look main arena for the main competitions and tonight's opening | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
ceremony. The council is clearly feel this is well worth the money. | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
They are putting an extra ?100,000 in to make sure it goes ahead but I | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
wonder whether local people feel the same. I have taken a trip across the | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
county to find out. It Welsh welcome in the hills above | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
Abergavenny but travel across Monmouthshire and only around 10% of | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
people speak the language here. But those same censors results said this | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
was one of only two areas across Wales recording a small increase in | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
the use of Welsh. In Abergavenny, attitudes towards the Welsh medium | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
primary school have not always been positive. But things are changing. | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
In September 2016, we are going to have 250 for children. These boys go | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
to school here and their sister will soon join them. The family keen to | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
have the Eisteddfod in Abergavenny, a celebration of Welsh, to help | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
secure its future here. You can walk around the town and shots that would | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
not normally have a Welsh display are already on that bandwagon and | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
they are really keen. Waterstones have got a big display of Welsh | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
books in the window which is really important for the children who come | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
to this school because they see Welsh as something that can be seen | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
outside school. I feel I missed out on some of the cultural side of | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Wales because I did not have access to the language so I wanted to give | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
back to the children. This village is in the heart of the rural county | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
and the local pub is a hotspot of Welsh speakers who helped raise | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
money for the Eisteddfod. I ask people about its use of public | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
money. I think they should be broad-minded and welcome it with | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
open arms. It is a joy to hear people speaking Welsh even though I | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
don't understand it. News of the Eisteddfod did not reach everyone | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
further afield in Monmouth where she goes to sixth form. In the Welsh | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
community it is really well known. It is a really big deal. English | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
copper and saves, it is not as talked about. It is something that | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
needs to be promoted further. My last stop was in Monmouth to ask | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
whether it was a good idea for the council to plug the fundraising gap | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
to make sure the Eisteddfod went ahead at a cost of ?100,000. That | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
remains to be seen. We will see how it goes. You will reserve judgment | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
for now? With all the people coming here to see it, there will be a lot | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
of money for the town as well. I think I will have two reserve | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
judgment until I have actually been to and Eisteddfod. The tents are, | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
the stage is set. The challenge for the organisers now is selling it to | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
other parts of the county. Seven days worth of events planned | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
here over the next week. How will we know whether any of it has been a | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
success? There is the financial measurement. In 2008, Cardiff | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
Council said it contributed anything up to ?8 million to the local | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
economy. The other measure, perhaps more importantly, is whether all | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
this helps preserve and promote the Welsh language for future | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
generations. We won't know whether it has been successful on that front | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
for some time yet. That's the claim of a developer | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
pulling out of a ?60 million project Stephen Fear says he's scrapping | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
the planned 600 student flats because of vandalism, | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
theft and assaults on his staff. Hundreds of high-end, high-rise | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
student flats on the River Usk, But now it looks like this is how | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
it's going to remain. Gutted by suspected arsonists | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
and plagued by theft and vandalism, This happened last night, | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
so somebody has got in since the fire and bust | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
the door off its hinges. Meeting the Fire Service | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
today and after putting millions into the site, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
they say an assault on their long-serving security guard | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
was the final straw. they threatened to burn his caravan | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
down and burn the building down. It appears to us, in this part | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
of Newport anyway, it's lawless. There's drug-taking going | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
on on public footpaths, there's drug dealing | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
going on on public footpaths. It's a great shame because Newport | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
has such great potential. It's the reason we invested | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
here in the first place. Stephen paid to clear up needles | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
from a public path behind his site. It's clear those unfortunate | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
enough not to have a home Gwent Police say there are patrols | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
here and they've spoken But while impressed | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
with Newport Council, Stephen is critical of the environment body | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
Natural Resources Wales. His site is part of | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
a wider flood scheme. He says he's never seen | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
an organisation work Something needs to be shaken up | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
and they need to get on with it. Basically, this should | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
have been dealt with, our agreement with them | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
should have been sorted out Newport Council are trying | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
to address Stephen Fear's concerns. Natural Resources Wales declined | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
an interview but said the size and complexity of the scheme means | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
we've been working with the company It was hoped this scheme | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
would attract wealthy international students to the city, | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
willing to spend in the bars, But because of vandalism | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
and frustration with other organisations, it looks | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
like the development won't go ahead. Tonight's sport, and the Olympics | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
are just around the corner, Tomos. The Opening Ceremony | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
is a week tonight, Jen. One of the favourites for gold | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
in Rio is Wales' Jade Jones. The athlete from Flint became | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Britain's first Olympic taekwondo champion when she won | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
gold in London. Four years after her success, | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
she says she's proud to inspire Final rehearsals ahead | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
of the Opening Ceremony. After the celebrations | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
at Rio's Maracana Stadium next Friday, the athletes | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
take centre stage. Jade Jones is aiming | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
for more of this. A teenage kicking superstar from | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
north Wales is the Olympic champion. In 2012, she was transformed | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
from a relative unknown Life hasn't been the same | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
since and she says she's proud to be a role model | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
to young female athletes. I have seen a difference just | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
from London, how many girls get into taekwondo because they have | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
watched it on the TV. I think there were only four or five | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
girls in the whole club. Now there are loads more girls | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
and it's just amazing to see that. Sport does not just have | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
to be for boys. Four years ago her achievements were | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
commemorated in her hometown, Flint. The local leisure centre, | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
where she trained as a child, On Twitter she says she kicks people | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
in the head for a living She admits her motivation has been | :20:18. | :20:32. | |
up and down since the London Games but she's peaking | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
at just the right time. We train for four years and it all | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
comes down to this one day. One mistake, you just | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
get kicked in the head or make one mistake, | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
your Games is over. That is the exciting thing | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
but also it's daunting as well You have got to be the best you | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
have ever been on that one day. The Headhunter, | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
hungry for more success. Football, and Swansea City striker | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
Bafetimbi Gomis has moved to Marseille on loan | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
for next season. He scored seven goals in 35 | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
appearances in the last campaign and is the third forward to leave | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
the Swans this summer. And Wales midfielder Andy King has | :21:22. | :21:39. | |
agreed a four-year contract with Leicester City. George Williams has | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
joined MK Dons from Fulham on loan until the end of the season. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
To New Jersey, and in the second round of the USPGA Championship, | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Welsh golfer Bradley Dredge is one under par, | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
four shots behind current leader, Jimmy Walker. | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
Glamorgan are playing Essex in their final T20 group game. | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
They secured a home quarterfinal, to be played the week after next, | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
after rain saved them from defeat at Sussex last night. | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
That game live on Radio Wales and online tonight, Jen. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Following the EU vote, the residents of a village | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
in North Pembrokeshire are so flushed with the idea | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
of a referendum they've decided to hold a ballot on the future | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Maenclochog Community Council pays around ?3,000 a year for the small | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
public convenience and is asking people | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
We've had Brexit, now comes another dose of direct democracy, | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
this time over the future of a public toilet. | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
Many community councils provide this service and here in Maenclochog | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
there's concern it's leaving them caught short. | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
With a cost of 3,000 a year to keep these loos running, there's | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
nothing left in the tank to pay for anything else. | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
So in the spirit of community engagement, come August the people | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
of Maenclochog will get to decide if they should go on paying. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Here's the official voting form in the Church News and once | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
they have made their decision, they can pop it in the ballot box. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
I'm told, like many other recent referendums, | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
it's expected this one will be a close run thing. | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
It's quite a difficult one because there are many people | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
who say, "I have never used them because we have toilets at home", | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
and there's the other thing with tourism, some say | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
it's a service we provide for the people. | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
If I had a penny to spend, I'm not sure where I would spend it today. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
The toilets are a firm favourite with walkers who come to this | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
beautiful part of west Wales and bring in much needed tourism, | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
but businesses say it's not just visitors who benefit. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Well, it's part of the village more or less and if the toilets closed, | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
I don't know what people would do because the church in the back has | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
not got any toilets and those down the road have been using the toilets | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
For the visitors who come, it's nice to have a toilet in the village. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
If it's decided they're worth it, there's talk of a special toilet | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
duty being added on to council tax to bear the brunt of the cost. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
No chance of it being hot and sunny but some decent | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
This evening will be fine in the north. | :24:37. | :24:51. | |
In the south, cloud and spots of rain will clear. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
And a cooler, fresher night than recently. | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Temperatures in some rural spots falling as low as 8 Celsius | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Here's the picture for 8:00am in the morning. | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
If you're not having a lie in and thinking of popping out | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
to the shops or maybe going for a walk or jog, | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
it will be a pleasant start to the day. | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Some cloud but some sunshine as well, with only a light breeze. | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Now a lot of places will stay dry tomorrow but a few showers | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Hit and miss but if you catch one it could be heavy. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Cloud will come and go but most of us should see the sun at times. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Highest temperatures in the south-east of 21 Celsius. | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
Elsewhere, a little cooler, but pleasantly warm in the sunshine | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Tomorrow evening, any showers will fade away, | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
And it will turn cool again, especially in the countryside. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
On Sunday, more dry weather and some sunshine. | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
During the day, cloud will build up with a few showers but a lot | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
Top temperatures between 16 and 20 Celsius with a west | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
If you're going to the National Eisteddfod over the weekend, | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
most of the time it will be dry, although I wouldn't rule out | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
Ideal for walking around the Maes, but cool at night | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
And then for the start of August next week, | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
no sign of any hot and sunny weather on the horizon. | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
The middle of the week looks unsettled with low pressure bringing | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
An investigation by Police Scotland has revealed a huge level of abuse | :26:45. | :26:58. | |
of children from as young as three up tp teenagers. | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
Tens of millions of images of children being sexually abused | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
The police operation has led to 77 arrests with officers saying they've | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
identified more than 500 victims or potential victims | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
And a month since the vote to leave the European Union, | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
there's a warning tonight that manufacturers here have seen | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
EEF, the organisation which represents the sector, | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
has told this programme it's concerned Brexit may affect | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
I'm back at 8pm and again after the 10pm news. | :27:34. | :27:41. |
