That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Our top stories: An emergency mid-air on board an RAF helicopter, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
forced to land in Snowdonia before bursting into flames | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Clouds of thick black smoke was seen billowing from the mountains behind | :00:11. | :00:24. | |
me as emergency teams rushed to the scene. I will have the very latest. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
The First Minister's accused of failing to plan properly | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
What we want to see is a substance and we don't want to see the same | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
old faces on these committees because it cannot be business as | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
usual. A show of force on the streets | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
of London, but concerns fewer armed police here could leave | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
authorities unprepared. In tonight's sport: Fresh | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
from success at Euro 2016, Wales and Swansea captain | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Ashley Williams is off An RAF helicopter has caught fire | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
on a mountain peak in Snodownia Clouds of thick, black smoke | :00:56. | :01:15. | |
were spotted billowing from Yr Aran, just south of Snowdon itself, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
and emergency services Matthew Richards has been | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
following the dramatic events. This training exercise involved the | :01:26. | :01:42. | |
setting people down on the mountain and picking them back up again when | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
it developed mechanical problems and landed. The crew and passengers were | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
evacuated and shortly afterwards it burst into flames leading to some | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
dramatic images that were taken by members of the public. This was a | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
major operation involving multiple agencies. They responded to calls in | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
fact an RAF training helicopter had been forced to land on Yr Aran. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Walkers took pictures and video of the unfolding drama. We were | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
intending to go up the mountain it crashed onto. Later on, it got a bit | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
vicious and the flames were getting high. The smoke was really black. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
You could smell the fumes in the air. I didn't pay too much attention | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
to it originally and as we got a little bit further up you could see | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the lows of smoke them out. It is not what you expect to see every day | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
on the mountain. They were five people on board the helicopter. A | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
sixth person was on the ground at the scene and all were rescued | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
safely. You could see a big ball of flames which was not very nice to | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
watch and a lot of smoke. Fortunately my daughter spotted they | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
were people standing to the side so she saw that people were not on | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
board the helicopter. We just sat there and watched the smoke for a | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
while. Enquiries are now under way to establish the cause of the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
incident and RAF teams will ensure that the wreckage will be | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
investigated. I was speaking to a member of the mountain rescue teams | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
and they were saying they have had a busy month. This time last year they | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
dealt with 30 incidents but this year they have had to deal with 20 | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
incidents so far in August. They are in rescue mode and that has helped | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
with the operation today. This was an event that was very unexpected | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
but it all seemed to work out given this could have been much more | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
serious. There are a lot of people on the mountain is taking a walk | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
during the summer holidays and this could have been a tragic event for | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
passers-by and people on the helicopter. It is now a question for | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the MOD to work out exactly what happened here and try and find some | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
matters to make sure something like this never happens again. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
What will Wales' future look like outside the EU? | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
That's the main question a group the Welsh Government is bringing | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
However, more than six weeks on from the referendum | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
the First Minister has been accused by the Welsh Conservatives | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
And tonight a former Welsh Government advisor has called | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
for a new job, a Minister for Brexit, to be created here. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
With more, here's our political correspondent, Daniel Davies. | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
It wasn't the referendum result Carwyn | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
Jones wanted but now he has to make the best of Brexit. The first task | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
is to steady the ship. The First Minister wants the advice of | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
experts, is this leader is and trade unions. The owner of this marina in | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Cardiff says his Mrs need certainty. We are investing substantially right | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
now and we are looking over our shoulder wondering what other | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
customers bases looking like and how the bankers are feeling. We think it | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
is a good business environment in the UK but for a lot of people we | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
need to see that certainty developed. On the journey towards | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
Brexit it is the UK Government that will be at the helm but Carwyn Jones | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
says he doesn't trust Whitehall to stand up for Welsh interests. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Particularly when it comes to protecting Welsh funding and access | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
to the single market. In the past month the Welsh Government has | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
hosted Brexit meetings with the new Prime Minister. Claims from the | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
opposition it -- its response to the referendum has been too slow and not | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
true they say. It ignores all the things that have happened already. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
This is a long haul business. These negotiations are not even going to | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
begin in earnest until next year and will take two years after that. It | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
is important we prepare ourselves for that lengthy journey. We knew | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
they were going to be one or two decisions made on June 23 and he has | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
been slow. This looks like a press release because he can't give any | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
names or organisations and as I said I think it could be business as | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
usual with the same old faces around the table. One former adviser says | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
the new committee can help but Wales needs its own dedicated Brexit | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Minister. The Welsh Government will have two pulled together all of the | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
considerations affecting different policy areas and departments to make | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
sure that we present a coordinated case. I think that may well require | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
a minister with a dedicated staff to do that. No formal responses have | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
been received yet either Welsh Government from those it has invited | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to join the advisory group. Carwyn Jones hopes that whoever joins will | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
add weight to his call for Westminster and Brussels to listen | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
to Wales. A search for two teenagers who've | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
been missing off the Gwynedd coast for more than 48 hours has | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
been called off. Waseem Muflihi and Yahya Mohammed | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
disappeared in the sea at Barmouth beach after getting into difficulty | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
on Sunday afternoon. Our reporter Matthew Murray | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
has the latest. An extensive aid, land and sea | :07:40. | :07:53. | |
search came to an end last night for the two missing teenage boys. Waseem | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Muflihi and Yahya Mohammed are feared to have drowned after | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
swimming off Barmouth Beach on Sunday. They were part of a large | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
group of several hundred visiting from Birmingham on a day trip | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
organised by members of the Yemeni community. Today people from that | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
community said they wanted the search to go on. We urge the rescue | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
team to put more effort into this. The family need to get their | :08:17. | :08:32. | |
children back. This is affecting their daily life and health. This | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
footage from the RNLI shows just how rough the conditions were for the | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
search. On Sunday they were choppy waters and high winds and last night | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
that search continued along the shoreline. This was a large-scale | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
search last night. Rescue teams were in their numbers here on the | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
shoreline but also covered a vast area. Today rescuers said the search | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
for the boys had been stood down. Coastguard officers will continue to | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
patrol the area. Meanwhile, a search for a man,who | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
was swept from rocks into the sea on the same day at Mwnt near | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Cardigan has also been suspended. Dyfed Powys Police have confirmed | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
the missing man is a 23-year-old, UKIP members in Wales will vote | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
on whether their leader should be allowed to continue as both | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
an Assembly Member and an MEP. Nathan Gill was threatened | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
with expulsion from the party if he did not resign | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
from one of his two But UKIP's ruling National | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Executive Committee has now decided to put the matter | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
to the party's membership. Cities across Europe | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
have been on high alert following recent terror attacks | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
in France and Belgium. At a time when there's | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
an increased threat level there are questions tonight over | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
whether there are enough police The Police Federation says numbers | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
have fallen and that could leave officers vulnerable and unprepared | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
in the event of a terror attack. Scotland yard marksman trained | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
to confront armed terrorists Since last week the first | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
of 600 more armed officers are patrolling there, | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
but what about elsewhere? When Nato came to town two years ago | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Wales looked armed to the teeth. Weapons were on show | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
for a global security summit. But the number of armed response | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
officers trained to fire guns on any You will receive one 60 second | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
exposure of the target. Back in 2009 there were 291 | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
authorised firearms But that figure has dropped to 224 | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
officers up to March this year. They were involved in nearly 900 | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
firearms operations last year but only seven | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
firearms were ever used. We are now at a level of firearms | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
officers we have never seen before in North Wales because we can tap | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
into the resources of Obviously, that is a plus | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
and I would like to think there are enough officers to be | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
on call and on stand-by should any There have been numerous terrorist | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
attacks in the last few months including in Nice that | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
left 85 people dead. But the threat has been | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
felt closer to home. A few years ago shopping outlet | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
McArthur Glen near Bridgend was one of several targets | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
for a terrorist attack. So how do the public feel | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
about the drop in firearms officers? I would be happy for them to be | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
armed in a situation where their lives are threatened | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
and everybody else's These are worrying times but to arm | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
everybody up to the eyes is probably While some experts welcome | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
the debate on firearms there's caution over whether it is the best | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
use of resources. What we need to be investing | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
in is something that is That means we need to be thinking | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
more widely around community policing and thinking about how | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
we can improve our communication, our engagement and information | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
gathering with communities but also So as London police officers take | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
to the river, the challenge for counterterrorism chiefs is how | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
they can best protect You're watching Wales Today. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Plenty still ahead. The Wales captain on the verge | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
of swapping Swansea for Everton. And a world away from the riches | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
of the Premier League, Wales' last remaining handball | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
court and hopes the sport The company behind plans to build | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
a new nuclear power station on Anglesey has promised ?1 million | :12:34. | :12:45. | |
to help fund a new engineering Horizon Nuclear Power says it's | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
giving the money to Coleg Menai to ensure that local young | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
people have the skills The Wylfa Newydd Power | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Station project has yet A charm offensive from Horizon | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
at the Anglesey Show today. The event is a showcase | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
for the island and Horizon insists it will play an important part | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
in Anglesey's future. But for now this video game | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
is the closest we can get Looking at all of this | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
you would think the Wylfa Newydd project is a done deal, | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
but far from it. That is the planning process to go | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
through and no agreement has been Even if everything ran smoothly, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
the earliest construction Even so, Horizon is | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
already recruiting. These three apprentices are due | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
to start in September. School leavers training for skilled | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
jobs on their doorstep. I don't think people understand how | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
big it actually is. There are not many opportunities | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
on the island for stuff I hope to pursue in the future | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
so I would definitely have to move And Horizon is investing ?1 million | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
for a new engineering training centre to be built on Coleg Menai's | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
campus in Llangefni. The reality is, in order to get | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
a deal we have to have That requires spending a lot | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
of money to develop and get approval for our design, | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
get support from our community All these things up critical parts | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
of the confidence building that people will need in order to make | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
the level of investment. Inevitably, I think North Wales | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
and north-west Wales is going to be a bit of a honeypot as an economic | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
centre and there will be people interested in these jobs | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
and opportunities from That is the nature of the market | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
economy I guess. So we need to make sure | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
that our young people are equipped to compete for those | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
high-quality jobs. Horizon is bullishly confident deals | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
will be done and Wylfa Newydd The jobs for young | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
people will arrive. Critics of nuclear power remain | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
sceptical. A ?6.6 million extension | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
to a Swansea hospital's cardiac intensive care unit will soon be | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
up and running. The aim of the new unit | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
at Morriston Hospital Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
Health Board says an increase in beds will allow for increased | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
levels of cardiac Our reporter Ben Price has been | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
to take a look. We currently try to operate on 720 | :15:29. | :15:45. | |
cardiac cases year. Last year was ranked in the top ten best cardiac | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
surgery centres in Wales and England so it's hoped this new multi-million | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
pound expansion will continue to maintain that standard. The | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
investment has allowed for four additional beds, two for intensive | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
care patients on the other two for those who are dependent but not | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
critical. We do get patients here who are generally more sec but we | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
are hoping with our new facilities and with the extra staff we can get | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
the patients through the system in a timely fashion so that we can meet | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
our targets. Patricia Beynon had her operational week last Friday. She | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
says she is pleased with their care. You are getting the best care. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Obviously for people living further away it is a problem. But as far as | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
I'm concerned it wasn't too bad. Three years ago bosses at the health | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
board discussed a damning expert report which described working | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
conditions in the cardiac surgery unit is intolerable. But as the | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
department turns the corner new technology has also been introduced. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
This is an automated pharmacy dispensing system. It works are | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
giving the machine. Access is gained by staff using a code of finger | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
print. These are pressurised cubicles to allow patients to be | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
treated in isolation to stop the spread of any potential infection. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
We have invested in capacity here so we can she does many people as | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
possible close to home. We have centres in Cardiff on the Swansea | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
and we are equipping Swansea to make sure it has greater capacity. This | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
investment make sure we can do that. Heart disease remained a big concern | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
in South Wales and it's hoped this larger unit will will mean that | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
people want weight too long for the care they need. | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Tonight's sport now with Kate Morgan and the Wales captain, | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Ashley William, is on the move, Kate? | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
Yes, Swansea City have accepted a ?12 million deal from Everton | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
The 31-year-old is expected to have a medical shortly | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
It comes as the club is on the verge of a record signing of their own | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
with an offer of ?15 million accepted | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
for Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston. | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
He received a hero's welcome in Wales only last month. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
But now, after weeks of speculation, it seems Swansea captain | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
Fresh from his success at Euro 2016, the defender is off to Everton. | :18:20. | :18:36. | |
Bosses at the Liberty Stadium have accepted a fresh bid | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
from the Premier League club believed to be worth | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
For Ashley Williams himself it is a good move. It is his last chance for | :18:42. | :18:51. | |
a big move because he is turning 32. This is a chance for a pay rise and | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
the chance to play perhaps in Europe. Everton are an ambitious | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
club and for him on the Swansea is the end of an era. | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Ashley Williams signed for the Swans for ?300,000 back in March 2008. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Now the age of 31, the defender's played in more than 300 | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Highlights include helping Swansea into the Premier League in 2011 | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
and lifting the League Cup after a 5-0 win over Bradford | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
in 2013, the club's first major trophy in its history. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
It's no wonder then the fans are sad to see the Swansea stalwart go. | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
I think it is terrible and they should never have let him go. I am | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
really disappointed. It's more money isn't it. That is what football is | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
all about. ?12 million is a lot of money but I don't think we'll get | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
the same quality to replace him. Swansea City are close | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
to completing their own deal, signing Atletico Madrid striker | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
Borja Baston in a club-record The 23-year-old will have | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
a medical at the club soon. So too will Ashley Williams | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
at Goodison Park. After eight years in Swansea, | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
the question now is who'll fill the void the captain leaves | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
at the heart of the Liberty? It's been a busy day for Team GB's | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Welsh athletes in Rio. It was a bad afternoon for boxer | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Joe Cordina, but with news on who's | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
medal hopes are still alive, here's our reporter Catrin Heledd | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
in Brazil. The whistle goes and Canada | :20:09. | :20:20. | |
celebrate. After a campaign full of promise heart rate the Jasmine Joyce | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
and here GB team-mates. Adding breezed through they group they had | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
high hopes of clinching a bronze medal but their dreams were crushed | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
by Canada, a side they had beaten a day earlier. Despite scoring as a | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
substitute the Saint David Starr was disappointed. We've had the most | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
amazing time. We have all come together as a team. We have to enjoy | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
the rest of our time here. We are Olympians and not many people can | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
say that. The men's campaign got under way today with a convincing | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
win against Kenny. Welshman James Davies and Sam Cross are both part | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
of the squad. They will face Japan later this evening. Despite being a | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
real medal prospect European champion Joe Cortina's polemics have | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
come to an end. This but this vision by the judges meant he lost. He | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
dominated the last round and hit me a lot on the body. He slowed me | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
down. I could not pick the place back up. It could have gone my way | :21:29. | :21:42. | |
maybe. Better news for Welsh roller Victoria Thornley and Katherine | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
Grainger. Second in their heat and through to the double sculls final | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
on Thursday and ever closer to fulfilling their Olympic dream. We | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
wanted to win the race but we are in the final and that is the one we | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
need to bring more with God. Fellow Welshman Chris Barclay will not be | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
competing again. Fourth in the men's lightweight four semifinal and | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
narrowly missing out on Thursday's final. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Wales' Geraint Thomas will represent Great Britain in the Olympic Games | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
time trial alongside three-time Tour de France winner | :22:18. | :22:18. | |
It comes after the 30-year-old escaped unscathed from a crash | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Several competitors from other nations | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
Now, it might not be the Maracana Stadium in Rio, | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
but in its own way the handball court in the village | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
of Nelson near Caerphilly is just as important. | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
Back in the 19th century, courts were dotted throughout | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
but this is the very last one remaining. | :22:36. | :22:52. | |
This is Nelson. This is the Nelson handball court which was built in | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
the 1860s. It has been continuously played on since then and we play | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
handball. The mining history of the handball history are so interwoven | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
it's difficult to separate. When this was built there were three | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
collieries in Nelson. It was built to service those miners. There were | :23:15. | :23:26. | |
handball courts throughout Wales from Anglesey all the way down to | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
Aberystwyth. This is the last one. This is the last handball court in | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
Wales. It was built by a coal miner who was the landlord of the Royal | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
public house and he built it to attract the trade away from the | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Nelson in which also had a handball court. But this one was a handball | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
court which could get all the spectators around the outside. It's | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
amazing to see someone people watching a game of handball. They | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
were all minors. This is 1906. I started watching the older | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
generation of men when I was a boy. I used to stand in the corner. They | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
would show you how to play the game. It was just something you did. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
Simplicity is all you need because all you need is a ball and a wall. | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
To me it's the best game in the world. You are outdoors and it is | :24:22. | :24:31. | |
purulent energy I think. Especially difficult at the moment to get | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
youngsters away from their computers. I want to see people | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
playing the game. I want to see this court being used for another 150 | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
years. Let's get the latest weather | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
forecast for Wales now with Derek. I'm going to stick my neck out, | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
but if all goes to plan we could be Temperatures soaring | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
to 28C in places. In the meantime, it's a little | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
on the cool side. This evening, a few heavy | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
showers in the north. These will spread | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
further south overnight. Temperatures inland falling as low | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
as 8C in the countryside. Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
south west of Ireland with a frontal system moving | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
in from the Atlantic across the UK. Here's the picture for | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
8:00am in the morning. A reasonable start to the day | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
for most of us. The far west and northwest | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
cloudy with spots of rain. During the day, it will | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
cloud over everywhere Most of the rain in | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
the west and northwest. The cloud cover won't | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
help temperatures. Disappointing and cooler | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
than today with a light It's the last day of | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
the Anglesey Show tomorrow. The Annual Vale of Glamorgan Show | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
is taking place tomorrow. The morning the best | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
part of the day. Dry and bright but clouding over | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
with spots of light rain afternoon. Tomorrow night will be cloudy | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
and damp, especially Drier in the south east | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
and by the end of the night more On Thursday, a little | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
rain in the north. The cloud breaking with some | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
sunshine and warmer. Drizzle possible in the Brecon | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
Beacons and Snowdonia. Highest temperatures in Flintshire | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
with a southwesterly breeze. Over the weekend, spots of light | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
rain on Saturday will clear. The best of the sunshine | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
in the south. Next week, a brief hot spell lasting | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
for a couple of days. A reminder of our top story. An RAF | :27:01. | :27:19. | |
helicopter has caught fire on Tim Peake in Snowdonia after a Catalan | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
and unexpectedly due to a technical problem. Clouds of thick smoke were | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
billowing from Yr Aran south of Snowdon itself. Emergency services | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
rushed to the scene and all five people on board are safe and did not | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
need hospital treatment. We'll be back after | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
the BBC News at 10:00pm. From all of us here, | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
have a good evening. | :27:41. | :27:43. |
